Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 697 Hard work

To say it was mean, Zhu Yunying might be a little bit, but he didn't think it was a big problem.As long as it is not ungrateful, if it is ungrateful on the basis of being mean, then an emperor's reputation will be ruined in half.

Although most of the time Zhu Yunying really didn't care much about fame, but no one wanted to leave infamy in the history, all of which were black history that was constantly mentioned, and that was obviously not a good thing.

Zhu Yunying would be wary of a confidant like Ru Yu or a military relative like Xu Huizu.

It's not necessarily that they are worried about their rebellion, nor do they think they have such abilities.More out of the status of the emperor and the hope for a balance in the court, these are the fundamental reasons for Zhu Yunying's suspicion.

It is impossible for the family of Zhongshan Wangfu to be separated, or even if it seems to be separated, it is actually what it seems on the surface.

As the patriarch and elder brother, Xu Huizu would not allow his younger brothers to think about dividing the family.At least not at this stage, the family of Zhongshan Wangfu must be respected by brothers and friends, so as to show the family education of Zhongshan Wangfu.

These are obviously not just the family traditions and virtues of the Zhongshan Palace. In fact, it will be a matter of time before the family is separated.But it shouldn't be now, at least before the prince ascends the throne, the Xu family must not make any troubles, and absolutely must not give others a handle.

When Xu Zengshou came home from a business trip, he was immediately called by Xu Huizu to the main hall to ask questions. Xu Zengshou obviously knew what was going on.

As the head of the family and elder brother, Xu Huizu's demeanor is still not to be said. In front of his younger siblings, Xu Huizu really makes people feel a little stressed.This is a very normal thing. Who told this to be the eldest brother? Many people take it for granted that the eldest brother is a father in this age. Xu Huizu has indeed been disciplined by his younger siblings.

Xu Zengshou was very honest, "Brother."

"Sit down." Xu Huizu nodded lightly, and said, "How is it in the school yard today?"

Xu Zengshou got excited immediately, and couldn't help complaining, "Qin'er is still a little coquettish, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't protected her, we would definitely have to teach Qin'er a lesson. We Wu Xun family, how can we be afraid of being beaten!"

Xu Huizu was a little unhappy, and said worriedly, "Your sister-in-law is from a small family, so she is a bit arrogant to Qin'er. These years we are busy with official duties, and we often leave Beijing. You and your second brother should take care of the affairs in the house. Discipline should be disciplined.”

This is naturally what Xu Huizu said in his heart, and he really felt that his eldest son was a little arrogant.This is not a good thing, at least not for the Xu family.

Xu Zengshou complained, "Naturally, we know that Qin'er is on good terms with the prince now, and the two brothers are close again. If we chat a few words, the prince will turn around and talk about us. We can only accept it. The prince still respects you, our fourth uncle is decent in front of the prince."

Xu Huizu was not happy, he put down his teacup heavily, "Speak carefully!"

Xu Zengshou was a little embarrassed, but then he said, "Speaking of which, she is also a queen, and she also dotes on Qin'er. This martial arts performance in the school field should have come back early, and all of them were reserved for the queen. Come down, say it's a banquet. It's hard for us to say, we can't afford to offend each of them."...

I can't afford to be offended, but my nephew Xu Qin can still be scolded for his bad behavior.Even in many cases, Xu Qin was the one who encountered unreasonable disasters, and was the one who was killed to make an example to others.

Because of the others, let alone the prince, there is also the eldest son of the Founding Duke, the grandson of the Duke of Liang, and the nephew and nephew of the emperor.Professor Xu Zengshou didn't dare to take care of each of them, and indeed he couldn't do it.

Xu Huizu also understood this, so he could only say, "You have some measure in mind, just don't go too far."

Xu Zengshou looked around, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness the Second Son also brought the Prince to the school grounds. Presumably, the imperial army will triumphantly soon, and he wants His Highness to experience some battles and strengthen his courage. Let's say, His Royal Highness, the second son, lacks courage."

Xu Huizu gave the youngest brother a hard look, but he didn't say much.

In fact, everyone knew that among the emperor's children, the Xu family cared most about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.His Majesty the Emperor now has three sons and one daughter, that is, His Royal Highness, the second son of the Emperor, is not the son of the Empress.Even knowing that His Royal Highness is in a stable position, the Xu family will naturally pay attention to the second son.

Xu Zengshou said again, "The prince is wearing that armored body again today, we are all afraid of seeing it."

Xu Huizu said calmly, "Don't be afraid, it was bestowed by His Highness the Supreme Emperor. His Highness is especially kind to those close to him."

That's right, if Wu Xun used prohibited items, he must be dismissed from office. Emperor Hongwu was not merciful at all.If you don't believe me, go and see what happened to Liao Yongzhong and others, and your confidantes can't overstep.

But for his heirs, even if he built the dragon bed privately, Emperor Hongwu would just hold it up high and let it fall gently.Qin Min Wang Zhu Xi has a say in this matter, and this is also a model without too much fear.

However, Cao Guogong Li Zhen took extra care of this brother-in-law Lao Zhu.He was exempted from the court, praised and worshiped without a name, and he was specially allowed to wear the dragon robe of the five-clawed golden dragon.In order to see his brother-in-law conveniently, Lao Zhu also gave him a house in the inner city of the imperial city.Even in the early years, Lao Zhu often took his children to 'visit relatives'.

Da Zhu probably didn't wear the five-clawed dragon robe, but when today's son was still the grandson of the emperor, he had the armor stomach of a five-clawed dragon, which was obviously a bit presumptuous.But if it is given by the emperor, then it is not a big problem, and Emperor Hongwu doesn't care about it.

As for the current prince, not only does he know how to wear Lao Zhu's big dragon robe in private, but he used to sit on Emperor Hongwu's shoulders and mess around.

Xu Huizu didn't gossip anymore, he just asked, "Then what's going on with Liao Yong and Liao Yue?"

Xu Zengshou was stunned for a moment, and asked a little puzzled, "What can the two brothers do? All day long, you also know that Liao Yong could not inherit the title in the early years and could only be a cavalier. Your Majesty read First celebrate the merits of Duke Guo and Liao Quan brothers, and after Jianba, the military governor's mansion, Liao Yong was incompetent and incompetent, so he was dismissed as an official."

Xu Huizu naturally knew about these situations, but he still said, "Speaking of which, the two brothers are also our nephews, and their mother is still a sister of the Tang family. These two are so incompetent, can the sister of the Tang family not care?"...

Xu Zengshou said angrily, "How do I manage it? Uncle Tang's heir is not prosperous and has never been able to inherit the title. Brother Liao Quan left early, and sister Tang's family was widowed a few years ago. The two brothers watched It's respect to the sister of the Tang family, but she can't say anything about the outside affairs, so the two brothers have nothing to worry about."

Xu Huizu was noncommittal, but said, "I think the sisters of the Tang family are also a little bit complaining, right? With the merits of uncle and Duke Qing, do you think the Liao family should be rich?"

Although Liao Yongzhong's lineage has always been close to Tang He, Liao Quan was Fu Youde's lieutenant before, and he seems to be in the same line as Xu Xie.But the relationship between the Xu family and the Tang family is good. Xu Zengshou still remembers that he often followed the Tang family's uncle when he was a child, and also remembered the Tang family's sister's care for him.

So he also became nervous, and quickly said, "Brother, although the two brothers from the Liao family are useless, they are not evil either. Your Majesty should punish them, right?"

"Together with those great Confucianists all day long, talking high-spirited and discussing government affairs all day long!" Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and said viciously, "They only think that they are scholars after taking off their military uniforms? They are careless there, what do other martial arts people think? What does Your Majesty think? How can those scholars with pens scribble in history books?"

Xu Zengshou also became nervous all of a sudden. As long as this matter is not disclosed, many people will pretend not to know.But now that it has been said, then this matter is obviously not a small matter.

Back then, Liao Yongzhong sank Xiaoming King in the Guazhou River inexplicably. Many people said that this was the secret order of Emperor Hongwu.In recent years, Emperor Hongwu and today's emperor have suppressed Confucianism a lot, and many people have noticed it.

If it's just private complaints from Shilin students, then forget it.Although Emperor Hongwu did indeed decree that scholars should not talk about government affairs indiscriminately, but everyone turned a blind eye to many things. As long as it is not too much, then it is no big deal.

But once a caring person wants to make a fuss about some things, there will really be some troubles.

Xu Huizu gritted his teeth, and said with hatred, "Those two are not proud of the Wu Xun family, and they regard themselves as Fang Xiaoru's disciples all day long. They still remember that they are the grandson of Qing Guogong and the son of Deqing Hou? How many times have they been deceived by those scholars?" Just a few words, just get carried away. They talk nonsense, how can that be the same as ordinary scholars without fame?"

Yes, although he failed to inherit the title, Liao Yong has an official status, and he is definitely different from those students of the Imperial College.And even though they seem to be far away from the court these years, don't forget that their grandfather was once the confidant of Emperor Hongwu and a great hero who was once welcomed by the "Emperor Xiaokang".

Xu Zengshou was a little worried, and said anxiously, "Then why don't you let my sister-in-law try to persuade Sister Tang's family? Although the two brothers are worthless, they are still the heirs of Sister Tang's family. There is also an official body."

Even if Liao Yongzhong was bestowed to death, Emperor Hongwu did not take back Liao Yongzhong's title, and Liao Quan also inherited the title of Marquis Deqing.It's just that the current Liao Yong is incompetent, unable to pass some martial arts evaluations that martial arts people don't seem to care about.The title of Marquis Deqing is actually hereditary. …

Xu Huizu let out a long sigh and said, "I'm afraid that they will get too involved with those scholars, and that they will lose their minds!"

Xu Zengshou was silent for a moment, and then said calmly, "Good words are hard to persuade, damn it, let's do the errands assigned by His Majesty, and I am worthy of my father. If the sister of the Tang family does not listen to the persuasion, we will do our best to obey the fate of the Tang family, and I am worthy of the uncle of the Tang family." The care in the early years is good. Even if my father knows this, he will not blame us!"

Xu Huizu let out a long sigh, these things seem to be the same, he can only do his best and obey the destiny.If someone is really ignorant, if he is really obsessed with obsession, then there is really no other way.

Everything that should be said has been said, what should be persuaded has been persuaded, and everything that can be done has indeed been done.If someone really doesn't know how to get back from the wrong way, if someone really wants to die, then that's other people's business, and has nothing to do with the Zhongshan Palace.

What's more, for Xu Huizu, if it weren't for some contacts between his parents, he wouldn't take care of these things.He has always been a cautious character. For him, the crown prince is more worthy of concern than others.

There are many things that I should do now, especially those things that His Majesty explained, Xu Huizu needs to do well.

Because of his father's relationship, Xu Huizu has already 'lenient the net', and Xu Huizu can be regarded as worthy of those people.It is impossible to expect him to really forget the public because of personal interests, Xu Huizu clearly distinguishes the seriousness from the seriousness.

Xu Zengshou also understood this, and suddenly said, "Brother, is there some turmoil in our Wu Xun family these days?"

Xu Huizu looked at his younger brother with a serious expression, "Oh? Where did you hear the news?"

"We thought about it ourselves, and felt that something was wrong." Xu Zengshou said frankly, "If we say that before the Jingcha, there were indeed some people who wanted to go to the clan and Wu Xun's family to clear up the relationship. His Royal Highness Wu is still in the mansion. When he came out, the Founding Duke couldn’t even see his shadow, even Cao Guogong has not lost some martial arts disciples these days.”

Looking at Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou said, "It should be that our Wu Xun family doesn't care about the civil servants' affairs, just like the civil servants shouldn't worry about our Wu Xun family. It's best for everyone to have a clear distinction between wells and rivers. It's different now. , We Wu Xun are too cautious."

It's not just that the Wu Xun family is too cautious, it's simply that the leading Wu Xun family seem to know something.Therefore, he is strict with himself, and he is also strict with some close martial arts.

And those Wu Xun who were not reminded, or those who were intentionally alienated, might be unlucky next.Because those people have not been abandoned, it is very likely that they have already been in trouble and there is no way to get out.

Xu Huizu looked at his younger brother, and just said, "Don't speculate wildly, just do your own errands well. The king of Kaiping has one lineage, one duke and two lords, our Xu family can't be weak. Now, that is, you have no family background. "

Xu Zengshou immediately felt a little pressure. The three brothers of the Chang family all have titles.Some people say that the brothers of the Chang family are all the sons of tiger fathers and dogs, and that they are the shadow of King Kaiping and the caretaker of the current emperor, but this is not the reason why the brothers of the Chang family dare to work hard.

Even if it's my elder brother, the eldest brother has led troops to war all these years, and the second brother has won the title with all his efforts.

The Xu family wants a third title, and perhaps Xu Zengshou needs to work hard!
