Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 661

When a powerful emperor starts playing rogues, civil and military officials can only try to struggle in such matters.But what the specific effect is, maybe these people know it, or maybe they just do their best to obey the destiny.

After all, the emperor they faced was not only strong and powerful, but also very stubborn.

Li Jinglong doesn't need to worry about this, he is quite clear about his position.As the grand-nephew of Emperor Hongwu and the cousin of Emperor Yingshi, he already had a high position and sensitive identity.

For Li Jinglong, such a special and detached status is enough, any more will be a good thing.

Coming to the Hall of Martial Arts again, Li Jinglong naturally got a seat, big cousin.

Zhu Yunying looked at Li Jinglong, smiled and said, "Cousin, we are going to get a palace scholar this time, and there is a lot of noise in the court. Speaking of which, these things are interesting, and those people outside talk more about it." We have violated the ancestral system, saying that such things should be nodded by the emperor."

Although he is Zhu Yunying's cousin, even though he is also a family member that Lao Zhu favors and trusts.But Li Jinglong has a sense of propriety. For the things that Emperor Yingshi did, Emperor Hongwu should indeed nod. This is the safest way.

After all, Li Jinglong is not stupid, he can also see that the palace students and cabinet created by Emperor Yingshi, that is, the weakened version of the prime minister and Zhongshu province, are also very taboo by Emperor Hongwu and have been abolished long ago.

It is normal for Li Jinglong to have such thoughts. In fact, there are too many civil servants and generals in the court who have such thoughts.Even Zhu Yunying can be regarded as somewhat majestic these years, but as long as Lao Zhu is still there, Zhu Yunying is often not the most prestigious emperor.

For such things, Zhu Yunying also knows well, and there is no imbalance in his heart.

When Li Jinglong didn't know how to answer you, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Cousin, we have reserved a place for Wu Xun in the Cabinet Grand Scholars this time. Although it is only a fifth rank, it's just that the duties of this Grand Scholars are different. Cousin is in charge. Wu Yuan, my cousin is the clearest about the available talents in the noble family."

Li Jinglong immediately asked, "Your Majesty, you need to have the experience of governing a local government to join the cabinet. Does the University of Martial Arts Hall need experience in leading the army?"

Look, even though many people seem to have objections to the cabinet bachelor, the duties of the cabinet bachelor are really important, so everyone pays attention to it and attaches great importance to it.

Before that, Zhu Yunying had settled down some rules, and now many people immediately accepted them.At this time, many people are also preparing to recommend someone they are optimistic about. This is a rare opportunity.

Li Jinglong naturally hopes to seize this opportunity, the reason is because he is in charge of the Martial Arts Academy, which in itself can be regarded as a high position among the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, but he still hopes to seize more opportunities.

Some high-level generals themselves need further training, and now they are starting to train mid-level generals. If the best in Wuyuan can become a fifth-rank Wuyingdian University Bachelor, this is Jane in the heart of the emperor, and there is no shortage of opportunities to perform.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a fifth-rank bachelor seems to be of low rank, and they are not even qualified to go to court.But so what, the cabinet scholar is in front of His Majesty, and now he can still discuss politics. Many fourth-rank officials do not have such an opportunity.

Don't just see the current gains and losses, I want to see the long-term future, especially for those officials with certain ambitions, being able to serve before the emperor is more important than anything else.

After discussing with Li Jinglong carefully, Zhu Yunying did not make a decision immediately. He believed that Li Jinglong had no problem, and he was willing to give opportunities to those recommended by Li Jinglong.

But this does not mean that Zhu Yunying only cares about Li Jinglong's family's opinion, and also considers other Wu Xun's thoughts and opinions.After all, the Wu Xun of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a mountain, so we still need to pay attention to balance.

The most powerful in the past was naturally the Xu family. It was enough to have Zhongshan King Xu Da in charge. This was undoubtedly the first general of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.The king of Kaiping, Chang Yuchun, passed away early. Fortunately, Lan Yu, a rising star, was able to take charge on his own. Coupled with Zhu Yunying's relationship, Chang Xi seemed to be able to share equally with Xu Xi.

But don't forget Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Tang He, Fu Youde and others, they also have their own team.Even if it seems that it can't be compared with the Xu family and the Chang family, it is still a force that cannot be ignored.

After Li Jinglong left, Chang Mao was ordered to meet with him. This is the nominal leader of the Chang family, and no one was unconvinced.

Zhu Yunying is still smiling, even though he intends to clean up some of the nobles in the Chang family, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Yunying is going to embarrass Chang Mao now, or it is because Zhu Yunying is somewhat smiling.

Chang Mao really didn't feel anything unusual, and this stupid person really didn't care about some things.

It is enough to chat with Chang Mao about family matters, and the Hall of Martial Arts is not a place to talk about family matters. This time, Zhu Yunying also wants to ask Chang Mao for his suggestions and opinions on the Grand Masters of the Hall of Martial Arts, which is the most important thing.

Compared with Chang Mao, he had already planned, "Your Majesty, I think the son of Duke Ying is suitable. He has been in and out of the battlefield with Duke Ying for a long time, and he is very familiar with marching and fighting. Moreover, his status and grade are also suitable. It would be best for a scholar to give to Duke Ying's son."

Zhu Yunying kept his composure and asked with a smile, "Uncle, our grandfather had quite a few arrogant soldiers under his command in the early years, although most of the veterans are gone, but there is no one in this mansion who is worthwhile? "

Emperor Yingshi looked a little unhappy. Thinking back to the time when Chang's lineage was like a cloud of fierce generals, it was naturally considered strong.Coupled with Lan Yu's repeated military exploits over the years, as well as some protection and support from Zhu Yunying, in fact the current Chang faction is extremely powerful, and it is not at a disadvantage against the Xu faction.

Since this is the case, the emperor seems to want to see the University of Martial Heroes fall into the hands of the Chang Department. After all, the Chang Department is Zhu Yunying's natural supporter and is one of Zhu Yunying's most reliable forces.

Regarding Zhu Yunying's dissatisfaction, Chang Mao didn't panic at all, "Your Majesty, I still think it's best to choose Duke Ying. He happened to beat Goryeo, so he should be rewarded. Besides, the lineage of King Zhongshan is already dignified enough." !"

Although he knows that his uncle is not confused about major matters, but this time Zhu Yunying still can't help but look at him with admiration. His uncle is not a heartless dude, and his uncle is not a fool who doesn't understand anything. In fact, there are many things People understand it in their hearts!
Because of the achievements of Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu, the Chang lineage can be said to be very prominent, and they really do not lack opportunities and status.

What's more, don't forget that Zhu Yunying is also the natural umbrella of the Chang line, which naturally means that the Chang line is more detached.

Prominence is naturally a good thing, but being too prominent may not be a good thing.The current Chang lineage is like cooking oil in a raging fire. At this time, they can't rely on their backgrounds just to reap all the benefits. When it's time to keep a low profile, they should keep a low profile.

Of course, Chang Mao is not careless. Chang Xi's lineage needs to keep a low profile, but he doesn't want to see Xu Xie's lineage picking peaches.This is deliberately using the Xu family to talk about things. Often the Xu family can't get it, so don't worry too much about the Xu family.

It is most suitable for Ying Guogong Fu Youde. Fu Youde, a veteran, can be considered to continue to improve. Now he is a pillar of the Ming Army. If there is no accident, he will definitely be treated as a king after his death.

After defeating Goryeo this time, Fu Youde would definitely get some rewards if there were no accidents, but Fu Youde was considered unsealable, and it would be difficult for Fu Youde to lead troops to fight in the future.

Zhu Yunying didn't want to do the killing of donkeys, so he should give Fu Youde something to think about at this time. Fu Youde deserved all of this, and he earned it by fighting on the battlefield.

Zhu Yunying smiled, he knew that Chang Mao was right, this could even be said to be Zhu Yunying's idea.

Martial Arts Hall University Bachelor, in fact, many people think that His Majesty appeases Wu Xun and restricts the handicrafts of the civilian group. Although this position will not directly participate in military affairs, it can also make the civilian group lose the opportunity to dictate military affairs.

This can also be regarded as a humble and powerful position, and this position is indeed more sensitive, and general martial arts are indeed not suitable for this position.

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, and said, "Uncle's words are reasonable, let's make a note. Speaking of which, the Qilin and Qilin should grow up a little bit. After a while, let the second uncle lead the two of them back to Fengyang for our birthdays. The imperial mausoleum will offer sacrifices for us."

Chang Mao immediately thanked him, which is indeed a long grace, which also shows the emperor's favor.

Although the distance between Yingtian Mansion and Fengyang was not too far, the emperor couldn't easily leave the imperial city, and there was no reason for the elderly Hongwu Emperor to sacrifice for Emperor Yingshi.And it's not Zhu Yunying's full birthday, so there's no need for the crown prince to rush back.

So at this time, it is normal for Wu Xun to do the sacrifice.After so many years, some big and small things happened in the Ming Dynasty, happy or bad things, basically they all need to be sacrificed to the ancestors, and most of them are entrusted to Wu Xun.

Even if the frequency is not low, even a few days ago, there was a grand event to establish a relationship with the Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, and the emperor's mausoleum was sacrificed.But in any case, being able to replace the emperor's sacrifice is not the treatment that ordinary martial arts can have.

After Chang Mao left the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Yunying smiled and shook his head. The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty were some pretentious people, and some were lacking in mind and did not know how to make progress, but there were also some smart people. The current situation is relatively clear, and many people know their position, what they can do, and when to keep a low profile.

Chang Mao, a bastard, also seems to be a smart person. He knows that Zhu Yunying attaches great importance to the Cabinet Scholars, and he has been making jokes in the court during this time. He is more aware that some things are not suitable for the Chang Department to fight for.

Just as Zhu Yunying continued to devote himself to the work of reviewing the memorial, Wang Chengen reported in a low voice, "My lord, is His Highness King Wu seeking an audience outside the palace?"

Zhu Yunying was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "What can this boy do? Companion, what kind of trouble has King Wu made these days?"

It's no wonder that Zhu Yunying has no confidence in his little brother, it's mainly because he knows too well, so Zhu Yunying has no confidence.

Wang Chengen immediately lowered his head and replied, "My lord, how could this servant know!"

This statement is half-truth and half-false. It can be said that Zhu Yunying gave the Ming clan a relatively favorable treatment, and did not let the Ming clan have nothing to do but have children, eat, drink and have fun, but Zhu Yunying would not be unprepared for the clan.

Zhu Yunying's position is indeed stable, and a normal clan would not have messy thoughts.But the clan naturally has some opportunities, and their special status makes them want to do something, which is considered appealing.

What's more, there are many people with low moral quality and lawlessness in the clan, so there is no need to be surprised.

If it is true that there is no defense and supervision of the clan, that is a fantasy, and that is the last thing an emperor should do.

Although it was a bit strange, Zhu Yunying still announced that Zhu Yunxi had an audience.My little brother has also improved over the years, and he is not struggling to make ends meet as he was when the mansion was founded.

Seeing Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunxi immediately knelt down, with a mournful face, "Brother Huang, save my younger brother!"

Zhu Yunying froze for a moment, just ignore Zhu Yunxi, pretending to be poor Zhu Yunxi wants to win sympathy, how can it be so simple.Moreover, based on Zhu Yunying's understanding of his younger brother, Zhu Yunying has no ability to cause a big mess.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying hadn't spoken for a long time but was reviewing the memorial with his head down, Zhu Yunying watched eagerly, then thumped his waist and coughed twice, but was still ignored by Zhu Yunying.

Since his performance failed, Zhu Yunxi got up embarrassingly, and walked slowly behind Zhu Yunying to squeeze Zhu Yunying's shoulders.

Zhu Yunying raised his vigilance, as soon as the little brother came, he knelt down and begged for help, and the other one came to show his courtesy.

While Zhu Yunying was still guessing, a young eunuch rushed to report, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, please see me."

Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is naturally Zhu Yunying's younger sister.

Zhu Yunxi became anxious instantly, grabbed Zhu Yunying's arm and begged, "Brother Huang, you have to save us! Sister Huang, let me kill us!"

Zhu Yunying's expression was serious, and now she had to be serious, "You bastard! Sister Nihuang loves you the most. What did you do to make your imperial sister angry?"

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and muttered softly, "We have another heir."

Zhu Yunying didn't speak, if it was just like this, everyone would only be happy, instead of causing Zhu Yunxi to come to ask for help in a panic!

Seeing that Zhu Yunying didn't speak, Zhu Yunxi said with little confidence, "We, we raised them outside!"

Zhu Yunying seems to understand smoothly, this is really troublesome, the clan has a jade certificate, it is not easy for an illegitimate child to enter the clan!

Seeing that Zhu Yunying still didn't speak, Zhu Yunxi could only continue, "Brother Huang, we really like her! Even though she is a businesswoman whose marriage has been divorced..."

Zhu Yunying jumped up instantly, "What?"
