Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 677 Emperor's mind

For his precious grandson, Lao Zhu has always been full of confidence.This is his successor that Zhu Chongba carefully cultivated, so naturally it will not be bad.What's more, after all these years, even if there are occasional disagreements on some matters, generally speaking, Lao Zhu has always believed in her grandson.

Since the grandson said this, he was not whitewashing peace, so naturally he was not whitewashing peace.Since this isn't some non-existent auspiciousness, then that palm oil must have something to offer.

Naturally, the grandson said that this was not deliberately giving Feng Cheng a hereditary title, so there must be no such thing.

This is Lao Zhu, and this is his confidence in Zhu Yunying, which basically hasn't changed over the years.

Although Lao Zhu is confident, what Zhu Yunying should explain is still to explain, "Grandpa, my grandson has always liked to read history books, and often finds some things quite interesting. For example, those Kunlun slaves mentioned in Tang books, or Dashi, those This place seems to be interesting. There is also Tianzhu, where Master Xuanzang went, and he went to many places along the way."

Old Zhu said a little amusedly, "You are thinking about Kunlun slaves, and your younger brother is thinking about Silla maidservants. There seem to be quite a few Silla maidservants in his place under our rule."

Zhu Yunying hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The few of us worked hard, don't we just think that they can enjoy themselves? It would be a good thing if everyone in the family has worked hard, but even if there are some people in the clan who like to enjoy themselves, it's okay." They are content with having fun, and we have done all the big and small things, and we are happy in our hearts."

Old Zhu understands this kind of feeling too well. At the beginning, he was up all day and night, and besides wanting to govern the world better, he also wanted to let his children and grandchildren enjoy good fortune and not suffer like him.

It doesn't matter if you suffer a little bit, as long as your family is doing well, no matter how hard it is, you will feel it will be worth it.

Pig, the voice also continued at this time, "In the early years, we always thought about opening the sea ban, just thinking about the Song and Yuan Dynasties. We went out to the Central Plains to have a lot of good things. Let's say that the Southern Song Dynasty is a corner, and I have never heard of it. The court is short of money."

The Song Dynasty was really rich, and Tokyo's wealth is not a joke. People here and there are busy giving New Year's coins, but the people of the Song Dynasty are still rich.

You know, there was no such thing as a sharp increase in grain production during the Song Dynasty, and there was no land in the Sixteen States of Yanyun at that time.The scale of the land is relatively small, but their economy is developed, not only because of the active economy of the Song Dynasty, but also overseas trade has indeed accounted for an extremely important part.

Old Zhu said with some displeasure, "It is said that there is no business without fraud. If everyone is busy being a merchant, how can anyone have the heart to farm? What's the use of earning more money? Those Things can’t fill your stomach.”

Lao Zhu has always looked down on businessmen from the bottom of his heart, whether it was before or now, nothing has changed.And Lao Zhu's mentality is also normal. In this era, most people really look down on businessmen.

Zhu Yunying didn't care about some of Lao Zhu's thoughts, and continued, "Let's not talk about those things first, that is, this overseas wild land. Whether it was the former Dongying or the current Nanyang, there were some places that I didn't like in the past, but After all, there are good things."

Lao Zhu also fell silent at this moment, he knew this was the truth, in fact, Lao Zhu did not expect that there are so many good things overseas, it is simply unbelievable!

Zhu Yunying also jokingly said, "In the early years, when we wanted to open the sea ban, Grandpa Huang was not too happy, but when we kept making trouble there, Grandpa Huang softened his heart. We all know this. If it weren't for Grandma and Grandma Our mother is gone, and Grandpa Huang will not hand over the navy to us at that time."

Lao Zhu also admitted this, "It's still the same thing. You have been smart since you were a child, and you are more thoughtful than ordinary children. If your grandmother and your mother hadn't left, we wouldn't let you like that. You Dad also said at that time, the left and right are just some sailors, you can just toss it for you, and if you don’t make a name for yourself, you will stop."

Zhu Yunying said unwillingly, "But we made a name for ourselves after tossing around. Although we capsized a few boats at the beginning, we brought back a lot of good things from Nanyang. We knew at that time that the navy was in our hands , as a result, our father remembered it later, and many things went to him before they were delivered to us."

Old Zhu laughed loudly, and said very proudly, "We didn't expect you to make such a big name. You say you are a child, what is the use of having something in your hand? Or leave it to the court. Even better, if it’s really not possible, it’s okay to send it to the internal money. We’re not thinking about your money, the court is short of money at that time.”

After Lao Zhu finished laughing, he suddenly asked, "Really, you're probably going to kill someone, aren't you?"

Zhu Yunying sighed, and said sadly, "Everyone says that I am a hero, but what I want to say is that some of my famous names have been ruined by descendants. Zhang He was originally the first general under our command. Originally, I still planned to make a good story, but now it’s a good thing, we almost pulled out his tombstone.”

Zhang He was indeed Zhu Yunying's first general. Although Zhang He was almost unknown among the star-studded founding generals of the Ming Dynasty at that time, he was capable after all.

At any rate, he was also the deputy commander of the Fuzhou Weidu, and was promoted to the governor's office for his merits such as exterminating Japanese pirates.It was even more difficult for water transport in Liaodong, and he was ordered to open up shipping channels and supervise maritime transport affairs.

This is definitely a naval warfare expert who was a member of the Ming Dynasty and stepped into the ranks of senior generals. He also became Zhu Yunying's right-hand man in managing Nanyang together with Zhu Shou.

It has also been ten years since Zhang He passed away. He was the hereditary Marquis of Navigating the Sea during his lifetime, and was posthumously named Duke of Anguo after his death.This is indeed a good story, a good story of a monarch and his ministers getting along well.It's just that now it seems that this good story may be a thing of the past.

Lao Zhu also sighed, and said, "We have always had a regret. Back then, Hu Dahai was our favorite general. We have already issued repeated orders to ban alcohol, so Hu Sanshe, who is not up to date, is going to make wine. If we don't kill him He, our legal order has become a joke. But we didn't expect it, we didn't expect that thief Jiang Ying killed Hu Dahai and Hu Guanzhu."

Lao Zhu felt sorry for Yue Guogong, especially because Hu Dahai had no heirs.

The eldest son was killed by Lao Zhu, and the second son was martyred with Hu Dahai.It is indeed a great pity that this generation of fierce generals who recommended Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others ended like this.

Zhu Yunying could only persuade, "Grandpa Huang also didn't expect that Jiang Ying would rebel, and that Hu Dahai Hero I would die at the hands of Xiaoxiao. If Hu Sanshe was in our hands, we would kill him too."

If you don't kill, you can't do it. If you don't kill, the law and the like will really become a joke, and there is no way to order the three armies.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying and said seriously, "We killed a lot of people, and we killed a lot of brothers who started a family with us. We cleaned up everything that should be cleaned up, and we don't want you to kill so many people in the future."

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile. The reputation of killing heroes is indeed bad, but some people really deserve to be killed.

Zhu Yunying also thinks that this life is not bad, because his existence can be regarded as protecting a lot of people.For example, Sapphire, Sapphire in history had a very miserable end, and that big case also brought bad luck to many nobles, and the number of people involved reached more than 2.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying asked curiously, "Hearing what Grandpa Huang said, you just know that we are going to kill people, but you still don't know how to kill them?"

Lao Zhu did know something about the smuggling of some honorable generals and magistrates in tandem, which was also what Zhu Yunying told Lao Zhu.But judging from Lao Zhu's tone, he didn't seem to know who was involved.

Old Zhu said angrily, "Our grandson is amazing, we all admire the means of the emperor! We, the old emperor, are no longer on the dragon chair, who will take us seriously? Then Song Zhong is a bastard, At the beginning, it was your father who told him to go to your side to do things. But now, we sent people to ask him some things, but he still hesitated for a long time."

Zhu Yunying was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud, looking very proud.

Lao Zhu glanced at his grandson angrily, and then laughed happily. He was really not annoyed by this matter.

If he still cared about power, he would not have abdicated in the first place.If he had more desire for power, he wouldn't have allowed Da Zhu to review memorials directly for more than ten years.

Not to mention that Zhu Yunying helped Lao Zhu review the memorials and control the court in the early years, just because Zhu Yunying has been the emperor for four years, naturally he holds more power.The prestige of Emperor Hongwu is still great, but for some officials, their allegiance is to Emperor Yingshi, not Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Yunying said braggingly, "Then we really want to reward Song Zhong when we turn around, and he feels aggrieved when he follows us, the grandson of the emperor. Mao Xiang was so strong back then, and Jiang Yu didn't dare to discount our father's words. He Following us, the grandson of the emperor, seems to be beautiful but actually cautious. We sent him to Jinyiwei many times to handle errands, and he was sent."

Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing too, one moment at a time and another at another.

Both the emperor and the crown prince were there at the beginning, so how could it be the crown prince's turn to dictate something?
That is to say, the emperor and the crown prince favored the emperor's grandson, or the grandson was too interested in Jin Yiwei's affairs, which could be regarded as a crime.

"He's been a daughter-in-law for many years, and he's promising a lot with you." Lao Zhu laughed and said, "At the beginning you didn't let us kill Mao Xiang and sent him to Dongying and Korea, but Song Zhong and Jiang Yu It’s not good to use it all the time.”

Mao Xiang had a pretty good ending. As the emperor's eagle dog, he offended a lot of people, and he did some shady dirty work, and he also knew too many secrets about the emperor.It is actually a strange thing that such a person can have a good death.

Although he was exiled, but at any rate it was considered to be the end of his life, and no descendants were involved. This can be regarded as a very good ending.After all, his descendants are doing well now, and they were also middle and senior officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunying also understood this truth, and said, "I'm afraid Jiang Yu won't use it for a few years. It's up to him to find a way out for him. Song Zhong, we'll use it for a few more years, so it's okay to use it now." pity."

Lao Zhu was noncommittal, this might be the best way!I can't find any faults, and there are not many merits, that's what it looks like.

While the grandpa and grandson were still chatting about business, a voice suddenly came from outside Qianqing Palace.

Little Zhu's voice came, quite domineering, "Be careful, if our younger brother falls, we will make you look good!"

Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu, and complained, "We were brought up by the emperor's grandmother, so we are quite tolerant to the people in the palace. Yin'er was brought up by the emperor's grandfather. more stringent."

Old Zhu immediately looked at Zhu Yunying with disgust and said, "Your grandmother is good everywhere, but she taught you a little bit of benevolence. Yin'er is like us, and we don't treat others harshly. If the errand is done well, if there is no mistake , will we punish him for no reason?"

Little Zhu happily ran to the Qianqing Palace, and was the first to arrive, "Great-grandfather, our fat brother can walk!"

What do you think is the big deal?It turned out that this was to offer treasures, and if there were other treasures to offer, I asked my fat brother to take a few steps. This is also a treasure offering, and it can make His Majesty the great-grandfather Emperor Longyan happy.

Seeing Zhu Yunying, little Zhu was surprised, "Father, why don't you work in the Hall of Martial Arts?"

Zhu Yunying was overjoyed, and asked, "We can't come here? Do we have to ask you? You should be in Dabentang at this time, why did you come here for your brother?"

Little Zhu said with a smile, "We went to Dabentang, and what the professor taught us was different from what our great-grandfather taught us, so we didn't listen to it. Listening to what they said was not enough. They had never been emperors, so how could they know how to govern?" country?"

Lao Zhu smiled even more happily, he is a grandson who has been carefully cultivated, and he is undoubtedly a good emperor.And the great-grandson he cultivated carefully, as long as he continues to teach by precept and example, I will also have the appearance of a wise king.

Lao Zhu is so self-confident. He always thinks that he is very good at education.

The reason is also very simple, the son teaches well, and the grandson is also very good, so naturally there is no problem with the great-grandson.

This is not only because of his good teaching, but also because Lao Zhu has always firmly believed that this is the good blood of Lao Zhu's family.Therefore, each of them has the image of a wise monarch, and it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to be prosperous for Jiangshan Sheji.

Zhu Wenkun, who was being hugged by the palace maid, also came, stretching out his chubby hands, and shouted in a milky voice, "Brother."

Maybe he saw his father, or maybe he saw his great-grandfather, but in Zhu Wenkun's eyes, these two true dragon emperors were nothing.In the eyes of this little guy, his elder brother is the most important, perhaps second only to his mother!
