Emperor Ming's grandson

Zhu Yunying can actually guess some of Lao Zhu's thoughts, and there will be no surprises.

Looking at the old Zhu who was a little bit old, Zhu Yunying could understand besides being distressed.Lao Zhu is such a person who cares about his family, now only his grandson and great-grandson are left by his side, which is extremely painful for Lao Zhu.

Losing his mother in childhood, widowing his spouse in middle age, and losing his son in old age, it can be said that Lao Zhu has experienced the greatest grief in his life.But he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he can only hold on.Because he couldn't let go of the country, the country, and his eldest grandson, no matter how hard it was to bear, he had to hold on.

And now that he has entered the seventies, there is no need to continue to hold on.

Not only because Zhu Yunying is firmly seated on the throne now, but also because he has proved that he can take good care of the country and society of the Ming Dynasty.

These are undoubtedly comforting things for Lao Zhu. His worries at the beginning can now be put down.It can be said that he doesn't have too much to worry about now, so there is no need to force himself to hold on.

And if you really want to say it, although you have experienced a lot of pain.But in these years, there is still the 'only family member' by my side, a grandson who has always been close and loved.In the past few years, I have also enjoyed the fun of having grandchildren, and seeing the healthy growth of my great-grandson is also a kind of comfort.

Although Lao Zhu's life may not be the happiest, fortunately, it was not all tragedies when he was old.

Zhu Yunying just knelt in front, and behind him were little Zhu and Xu Miaoqing.And Zhu Huan and others are naturally in the further back position.In many cases, it is not only about seniority, but also about monarchs and ministers.

"It's done, let's hang around here with Ying'er." Lao Zhu sighed, and said to Xu Miaoqing and others, "You are here to pray for your imperial grandmother."

Zhu Yunying thought for a while and said, "Why don't you take Yin'er with you?"

Lao Zhu shook his head, "Don't bother, just let him stay here."

Although little Zhu watched eagerly, but after hearing what Old Zhu said, she obediently stayed and didn't intend to mess around.

In fact, many people also know that it is impossible for Lao Zhu to just visit Empress Ma when he arrives in Xiaoling.He must also go to see Da Zhu, everyone knows that in the eyes of Lao Zhu, his good eldest son is unique and irreplaceable.

Even Zhu Yunying actually has less weight in Lao Zhu's heart than Da Zhu, and Zhu Yunying knows this well.

Holding Lao Zhu by the arm, Zhu Yunying and Lao Zhu walked towards Da Zhu's mausoleum in silence.In fact, Da Zhu's mausoleum is less than [-] meters east of the east wall of the Xiaoling Mausoleum Palace, which also shows that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to and loves Da Zhu.

And Da Zhu's mausoleum does not have a separate Shinto stone carving and imperial bridge, but it shares a main Shinto with Xiaoling.

Although Da Zhu could only be built according to the specifications of the prince's tomb when Da Zhu passed away, the layout of Dongling Mausoleum is similar to that of Xiao Mausoleum, and Lao Zhu also gave Da Zhu what he thought he could give without reservation.

Looking at Da Zhu's mausoleum, old Zhu's eyes were full of muddy tears, "Biao'er, why are you so cruel!"

After Zhu Yunying kowtowed respectfully, she said to Old Zhu, "When Grandpa Huang sees Father Huang, he will take good care of him. He just became cruel and left the two of us to live."

Lao Zhu continued to look at Da Zhu's tomb, his voice choked up, "When we leave, you will be the only one left."

"We still have Yin'er, and the queen." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "The grandson is now such a big man, and it looks like he will be in his thirties. Grandpa, don't worry about us, We can handle it well."

Old Zhu held Zhu Yunying's hand and said, "We will love you as a grandson all our lives. We will always rely on you and let you go. We will give you whatever you want! This time we will not miss you. We always thought about falling asleep and not waking up, we saw your grandmother and your father all night long."

Zhu Yunying also smiled, and then said, "Grandpa Huang, don't say that, as if you are going to leave tonight. That's not going to happen. If you don't talk about it, you have to hold on for a few more days, lest someone outside say that we insist on going our own way." You came to Xiaoling and something happened."

"It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. It's the same virtue when I was a child, and it's the same when I grow up!" Old Zhu patted the back of Zhu Yunying's head lightly, and said, "We know our bones, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive."

"Then don't suffer, come as fast as you can." Zhu Yunying said directly, "The grandson seems to be very unfilial, because he is thinking about sending the emperor away as soon as possible."

Old Zhu just laughed, looked at Zhu Yunying dotingly and said, "If you say that in this world, the one who still loves us is you. If we leave now, we can still smile. We are not afraid of death, we have always been Not afraid of death. Many times we thought that it would be fine if we were the ones to die.”

Zhu Yunying looked at Da Zhu's tomb with fascination, and said, "It really can't be like that. In our family, we are the two of us with the hardest hearts. We should take care of those things. Don't let them suffer."

Hearing Zhu Yunying's words, Lao Zhu was slightly taken aback.There is no need to say anything more, as long as you understand it in your heart.

In this old Zhu's house, Zhu Chongba and his grandson Zhu Xiongying were the hardest-hearted.The bad thing is that they take care of it, as long as the people in the family live well.

After clapping Zhu Yunying's hand, Lao Zhu said, "When you go over in the future, remember to tell Yin'er to take care of things. You should avoid being an emperor when you are alive, and you have to change your name back when you pass, otherwise you will be afraid Your grandmother and your mother can't remember."

"Even if the name is changed, they will recognize us." Zhu Yunying said with great certainty, "They all watched us grow up, and they all regarded us as their favorite. It's not that we are bragging, since we were born, Grandpa Huang is in my grandmother's heart There is no place."

Old Zhu was not happy, and said, "You, sometimes you don't understand some things. We are different from your grandmother, she only thinks about us. She probably hasn't entered your dreams a few times in these years. She stays with us all night and night, always chatting with us. Sometimes we get annoyed, and she still comes to see us!"

Looking at the proud old Zhu, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but said, "Speaking of this, Grandpa Huang will talk to grandma in the future, she hasn't come back to visit us a few times."

Lao Zhu smiled and said, "We won't come to see you then, and we won't allow your parents to come to see you. We remember what you said when your mother left. When you leave later, let's go together Ziren came to pick you up, do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Yunying nodded affirmatively, and said to Lao Zhu, "Okay! When it really comes, Grandpa Huang remembers to pick us up with grandmother, parents. When the time comes, our family will be together, and we will be at ease."

Matters of life and death, Lao Zhu really had long since overlooked them, and he would never shy away from these matters.And Zhu Yunying didn't care about these things, he also "died once", and he wouldn't be so taboo about many things.

This trip to Xiaoling is actually to let Lao Zhu stop worrying about some things.Let Lao Zhu worry less before leaving, this is what Zhu Yunying should do.

As for some complaints about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, etc., Zhu Yunying didn't care about those things at all.Those who advise are advised, those who nagging are nagging, Zhu Yunying doesn't care about those things, he just needs to do what should be done.

Old Zhu sat down slowly, touched Da Zhu's tombstone, "Ying'er, if we are no longer here, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yunying understood what Lao Zhu meant, so he said slowly, "Purging officials, controlling the court, and governing the world needless to say, the emperor will do these things. One of the things we have to do is to move the capital, and this matter must not be delayed to Yin'er. Time to do it again."

The Ming Dynasty will definitely move the capital, and everyone knows this matter well.Although Emperor Hongwu was doing these things nominally, and he was also one of Emperor Hongwu, but Zhu Yunying would definitely complete this huge project. This is not a trivial matter, and it is not so easy to do.

Regardless of the continuous construction of Beiping City over the years, a lot of preliminary work has been done to move the capital.Once Emperor Hongwu passed away, some people might jump out and want to persuade Zhu Yunying to change the decision to move the capital.

The reason is naturally that the fundamental interests of many interest groups are in the south, and moving the capital to Beiping will harm their interests.That naturally means that once they have the opportunity, they will of course try their best to dissuade Zhu Yunying from moving the capital.

There will be no changes in the matter of moving the capital. Zhu Yunying will definitely implement the policy of moving the capital forcefully. If anyone dares to obstruct it, Zhu Yunying will dare to kill.Moving the capital requires great courage and skill, and Zhu Yunying is confident that these prestige and means are not lacking now.

In addition to moving the capital, Zhu Yunying has other things to do, "We have been working on the tax reform two years ago, and it will take some thought and time. We must implement a whip method, and then we will be in Ming Dynasty. The land system should also be changed a little bit.”

Lao Zhu was not surprised by this, but just said, "Don't rush this matter, you can take it slowly. You are not old now, just keep going steadily and step by step."

Naturally, Zhu Yunying could also understand what Lao Zhu meant, and there was really no need to rush some things, Zhu Yunying still had a certain amount of time.Too drastic means may not be a good thing.

There is really no need to be in a hurry to get things done, and the time is relatively friendly to Zhu Yunying.Since this is the case, it means that Zhu Yunying really doesn't need to rush to get everything done right away.

Especially when it comes to land and taxation, neither of which can be ignored. This is the real 'national foundation'.If any one of these two things is not done well, it is likely to cause turmoil in the country and shake the country and society.

These things need to be treated more carefully, which is definitely no problem, and Zhu Yunying is also clear in his heart.

Zhu Yunying understood this, so he said to Lao Zhu, "The emperor's grandfather accumulated a lot of national power for our Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and we can make a lot of trouble. Even though the war in Koryo is over, we are also going to free up our hands to clean up Oirat. "

Wala really wanted to clean up. Now they have a certain strength. If they continue to develop, they may have the opportunity to introduce foreign student emperors from Ming Dynasty.That's impossible, the foreign students of Lao Zhu's family can't sit on the dragon chair.

However, Zhu Yunying also felt that there was no need to worry so much. An overseas student who was one of the great war gods of the Ming Dynasty had no chance to sit in the dragon chair.It can even be said that there is no chance of being born, and the high probability of studying abroad will not appear.

"Wala should be dealt with. The unrest in the northwest is a hidden danger after all." Lao Zhu said, "We just thought that the people have been recuperating since there have been wars, large and small, all these years. .”

Zhu Yunying said, "We will definitely not resort to military force. Once Wala has taken care of it, we will conquer Nanyang. By then, we will not have too many wars in Ming Dynasty. There are fewer and fewer famous generals who founded the country, and veterans who have survived many battles The combat power is about to drop, so we have to hurry up."

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Lao Zhu could also understand, "Well, you should do what you can, we know you know what to do."

The family background of the Ming Dynasty was relatively solid, and the hard work of Lao Zhu and Da Zhu had accumulated a good family background for Daming.

After the Jingnan Battle in history, Zhu Di was able to conquer Mongolia five times, occupy Annan, and sail to the West seven times.Although this is not completely relying on its laurels, it also has the credit of Zhu Di and his son's hard work in governing the world.

But we can't underestimate the solid foundation laid by Lao Zhu, otherwise, with Zhu Di's many big moves, Daming would not be in turmoil!
The military strength of the Ming Dynasty is of course very strong, but Zhu Yunying also understands that if nothing else happens, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty may begin to decline slowly.Now it is the tail of the peak, so he also needs to hurry up and do something.

When the war between Wala and Annan is over, Zhu Yunying can slow down his military operations.At that time, the Ming Dynasty will pay more attention to people's livelihood, because the surrounding environment can basically be determined.

Military operations are still very necessary, because Zhu Yunying needs to sort out the surrounding environment.He also wants to give a thorough clarity on some patterns, so that future generations can have more space to play.

"We will not be sloppy with the management of the Huanghuai. If we can't do it well in one or two years, it will be three or five years." Looking at Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "As long as the Huanghuai is well managed, our hometown will be It’s a land of fish and rice. When the time comes, we can clean up Jingxiang, and our Daming will have more food.”

At the food base, Zhu Yunying has not relaxed.The Liaodong side is just trying to lay a simple foundation, and the Jingxiang side is the most important.

Huguang is familiar with the world. Such a beautiful scene should not have appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but should have appeared in the early stage of the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Yunying's statement, Lao Zhu was even more satisfied and proud.

His grandson is not only thinking about fighting everywhere and opening up territories, he is also an emperor who loves the people like his own son, thinking about people's livelihood.

Since this was the case, Lao Zhu naturally felt more at ease in his heart.There is no reason for Lao Zhu to be dissatisfied with such a successor!
