Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 712 The rules can't be messed up!
For Zhu Yunqi, it is really difficult for Zhu Yunying to have a good impression.

This is indeed because the bad impressions in the previous life are too strong, and it is also because Zhu Yunqi in this life has indeed done some laughable and generous things.It is really difficult for Zhu Yunying to do these things if he wants to get really close.

Of course, although there is no need to deliberately get close, there is no need to be so harsh.After all, Lao Zhu and Da Zhu have to be given face, and Zhu Yunqi is indeed just an ordinary prince, so there is no need to treat him differently.In this way, it can be regarded as doing it for the clan and for the people of the world. The Tian family still has a brotherly and respectful look.

Let Zhu Yunqi be a mascot.Of course, the weight of his mascot is not that important, because the real mascot is actually Zhu Yunxie, and the eldest brother of Emperor Yingshi is like a father, which is actually better reflected in Zhu Yunxie.

Although Zhu Yunqi was not frightened now, when the angel arrived at Xu Wang's mansion, he was also taken aback.Although he was a little confused, he usually didn't dare to express his concern for the government, let alone pay attention to the dynamics of the court.

But some things couldn't be kept secret, and soon they actually spread.Especially when it involved such intellectuals as Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru, as well as some friends in the Imperial College, etc., Zhu Yunqi knew about these things even if he was a little late.

Seeing the worried look on Princess Ma's face, Zhu Yunqi could only say softly, "Brother Huang has always been lenient. This time I summoned him, I think I know that I often walk with them. It's just an ordinary question, and it's not a big deal."

The Ma family is also a well-known family. She is the daughter of Ma Quan, the former Guanglu Shaoqing. She was the concubine chosen by Da Zhu and the Lu family for Zhu Yunqi.Although it is a family of officials, Mrs. Ma still has some knowledge, and his family education is also good, which is in line with what some people think of as "three obediences and four virtues".

There was indeed a little worry in my heart, but Zhu Yunqi did not lose his composure, and entered the imperial city relatively calmly.There is no need to worry about the axemen ambushing in the palace. Brother Huang really wants to deal with him, and there is no need for such means.If something really happened, it would not simply be an angel calling him into the palace.

In fact, don't say that the emperor's brother is already in power, even in the early years, Zhu Yunqi can be regarded as recognizing the reality.Although both are grandsons of the emperor, he is completely different from his elder brother.That is to say, when I was young, I had some thoughts when I was ignorant. As I continued to grow and gain some understanding, I became more and more aware of the insurmountable gap between me and my brother.

Maintaining the demeanor of a prince, seeing those civil officials kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, Zhu Yunqi couldn't help feeling worried.And those civil servants noticed that His Royal Highness Xu Wang was really called into the palace, and all of them were terrified, as if they were mourning.

There is no doubt that things are developing in the most unfavorable direction, and scholars may not be able to recover for a long time after this incident.This matter is really too taboo. Some scholars are really nerds and have no political sensitivity at all!
Whether it is Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, or even their disciples and old officials, as well as His Royal Highness Xu Wang just now are the same.

They are close to Confucianism and want to carry forward the teachings of sages, which is certainly no problem.But even if you want to enlighten the world, you can't conflict with the emperor, especially such a domineering emperor!

Some people are still too bookish, and some people may really think that reading decades of sage books means that they are full of economics and have the talent to help the world.As for whether those people have thought that some of their political ideas are divorced from reality, or are too idealistic, it is obviously irrelevant. They just think confidently that they are talented.

When we arrived at the Hall of Martial Ying, Zhu Yunqi was very polite, "My younger brother Zhu Yunqi pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Yunying didn't speak, but just let Zhu Yunqi kneel down.This stupid brother needs to be beaten up, otherwise this kid might be sold without knowing it.So simple aside, the most important thing is that you can't tell good from bad.

Zhu Yunqi, who was still trying to keep his composure, slowly became nervous, and his forehead began to sweat.Because even if it was due to court etiquette before, even after prostration, the emperor's brother would basically let him die.But this time it was different, Brother Huang didn't let him die.

Kowtowing, this is also constantly changing, let’s not talk about the previous kneeling and some etiquette.Even in the Song Dynasty more than 100 years ago, ministers usually would not kneel down to worship the emperor, even if the people saw the emperor, they did not need to kneel immediately.

If you keep kneeling, you will be looked down upon by others, and you will think it is too flattering. Some scholar-bureaucrats at that time seemed to be a little 'proud'.At least they are very sensitive to these etiquette and treatment.

Even in the Southern Song Dynasty, many people thought that kneeling and worship was the etiquette of the northerners. After experiencing the rule of the Khitan, Jurchen and even the Mongols, those northern Han people lost their backbone.

But by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, everyone seemed to be used to it.When facing the emperor's affairs, he had to kneel down and speak.Everyone seems to be used to it, and they feel that such etiquette is a matter of course. This is a respect for imperial power.

Although Lao Zhu abolished many customs of other races when he restored the orthodoxy of the Han family, Lao Zhu did not intend to restore some customs of the Song Dynasty or even longer in the matter of ministers bowing down.It is impossible to expect the monarch and his ministers to worship each other.

The imperial power is unreliably elevated, and when the ministers are facing the emperor, they can only kneel and talk now.Of course, the future dynasties may go further, and it is not impossible to make three kneeling and nine knocking at that time.

Zhu Yunxi could only stare blankly at the side, the eldest brother asked the second brother to kneel, what can he, the third brother, say?

I can only be in a hurry, and complain that the second brother is really stupid, he dares to meddle in any gathering, but he dares to make friends with anyone!

It is said that he is a dude, His Royal Highness King Wu, who is fearless and reckless with the protection of his brother.But if you look at it now, the second brother is still bolder, doing things that the well-known dandies in the Ming Dynasty would not dare to do.

But since he is bold, he can only kneel down tremblingly now. It is estimated that the second brother may regret it now, maybe he is terrified now, and even has some very bad thoughts.

This is not impossible, after all, I must know what I have done.

Zhu Yunying continued to review the memorial, and after about half a stick of incense, Zhu Yunying slowly raised his head.

With a very surprised look, Zhu Yunying was very surprised, "When did King Xu come?"

Zhu Yunwen, who was kneeling, wanted to cry, but he also felt that Brother Huang did it on purpose.Not to mention his loud report just now, just before he enters the Hall of Martial Heroes, he also needs to ask for an interview. If Brother Huang didn't give permission, he would definitely not dare to enter the hall.

The most important thing is that even if Brother Huang finally saw him, he didn't say let him die.This still made him continue to kneel, which was obviously beating.It can even be said that this is simply an attitude of asking for guilt.

Even if he is a bit pedantic at times, he is indeed somewhat bookish and bookish, but when it comes to political sensitivity, Zhu Yunqi is not lacking.Anyway, he was also born in the royal family, especially when he once had the idea of ​​seizing the heir, which naturally meant that he knew some things more or less, especially about etiquette.

Looking at Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunying asked slowly, "Do you know why I made you kneel here?"

Zhu Yunwen was cautious, and his voice trembled a little, "Go back to Your Majesty, I don't know."

Before Zhu Yunying could speak, Zhu Yunxie said first, "Second brother, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng disregarded the law and wantonly formed associations in the Imperial College. The two of them have been arrested and imprisoned, and the second brother really didn't know about these things. ,Right?"

It's not that Zhu Yunxi is digging a hole. Although he is not very close to Zhu Yunqi, they are still brothers anyway.The most important thing is that even when Zhu Yunqi was a child, he always looked like a little adult in front of him, but in order to show the respectful appearance of brothers and friends, Zhu Yunqi often took care of Zhu Yunxi a little bit.

Zhu Yunwen's complexion changed drastically. Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng were both his close scholars and great Confucians recognized by him.But now that both of them are in jail, this obviously shows that Brother Huang is very dissatisfied with them.

And those students were deprived of their fame, which meant that their future was ruined.Maybe you can only grow old in the countryside, or you can only become a merchant, or even become a farmer.Of course, there are some possibilities. Without the slightest possibility of official career, you can also play among the mountains and rivers. After all, many students in the Imperial College still have good family backgrounds.

But don't worry about those people's future and so on, Zhu Yunqi only knows that he seems to be involved in right and wrong, and this will be difficult.

His identity was inherently sensitive, coupled with the iron-blooded and tough methods of the emperor's brother, it showed that some of the actions of those people must have made the emperor's brother very dissatisfied.This also means that the punishment must be very severe.

God is sorry, Zhu Yunwen participated in those gatherings, that is, as elegant gatherings, thinking that it was elegant and interesting, and that was the style of a scholar-bureaucrat.He really didn't have any ideas about other things. It was as simple as talking with some sages and pointing out the country, and he didn't think it was a big deal.

Of course, that is some previous ideas.But now, although he was a little belatedly aware, he also realized that those things that he didn't care about at first might not be trivial matters. Brother Huang must punish many people.

Just when Zhu Yunxuan was thinking about protecting himself and getting himself out of these troubles, the anxious Zhu Yunxi couldn't sit still.

Looking at the second brother who was speechless and just sweating, Zhu Yunxi continued, "Brother Huang, the second brother just likes to recite poems and fight against each other, so he couldn't stand the invitation of Qingke, a disciple of the family, to see him. The second brother didn't He didn't discuss government affairs, and he didn't have any private contacts with Deqing Houshizi and others."

No, Liao Yong usually looks like a scholar, but now that I mentioned it, I realized that Fang Xiaoru's disciple, who was dressed as a scholar, was actually Deqing who was given to death for illegal things such as usurping dragons and phoenixes. Grandson of Hou Liao Yongzhong.

Liao Yongzhong, that is also 'records'.Although he made great contributions, Lao Zhu has always blamed Liao Yongzhong for the capsizing and death of King Xiaoming in Guabu.Even when he was knighted, he was only named a marquis instead of a duke.

Liao Yongzhong himself was close to some Confucian scholars, and he was even closer to Zhongshu Zuocheng Yang Xian back then, and they all escaped death.

Speaking of which, Liao Yong's closeness to Fang Xiaoru was also inherited from his ancestors.Grandpa liked to associate with Confucian scholars, and he didn't know the taboo to associate with the Prime Minister of Zhongshu, so he can be regarded as a model for his grandson.

Thinking about what he had done in the past, Zhu Yunwen knew that he was afraid now, and beads of sweat began to fall off one by one.

Zhu Yunying glanced at Zhu Yunqi, and said angrily, "He is really a fool, just like King Wu. He is confused about small things, but you don't understand big things! We closed the house for him to think about it a few days ago, you Is this to follow someone else's example?"

Zhu Yunxuan lowered his head and dared not speak, Zhu Yunxiu heaved a sigh of relief.It's nothing to close the mansion and think about it. Once the door of the palace is closed, should you drink or drink, should you enjoy singing and dancing?

Zhu Yunying didn't bother to embarrass Zhu Yunqi, and said, "When I go to court tomorrow, I will hand over a letter of apology. I will order you to close the house for three months and study the classics carefully. What do you think?"

Zhu Yunwen immediately replied, "My brother, thank you, brother Long En!"

Zhu Yunying was overjoyed, and said angrily, "You're smart now? You'll have to make a note of it tomorrow. Those things have nothing to do with you. You were just bewitched by other people! Otherwise, I would just want to keep you." , the court’s law cannot spare you lightly!”

What Zhu Yunqi didn't hesitate to say was that instead of being unlucky and severely punished, it's better to push out other people, or just pick himself out. What happens to other people has nothing to do with him.

At this time, Wang Chengen said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside the palace."

Glancing at Zhu Yunzheng, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Get up, follow the prince to Qianqing Palace to say hello. How old are you, and you still need Grandpa Huang to worry about you!"

Glancing at Zhu Yunxi who was beside him, Zhu Yunying also said, "You also go there, everyone is not worried."

Zhu Yunxi felt that he was the most wronged. He performed well during this period and did not make any mistakes at all.That is to say, the second brother was confused, causing him to suffer from unwarranted disasters.

Watching a young eunuch walk out of the Hall of Martial Arts, little Zhu walked forward confidently.

But an accident happened, the little eunuch stopped Xiao Xiaozhu, and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree, ordering the Prince to bring His Highness Wu Wang and Xu Wang to Qianqing Palace to meet you."

It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't enter the Hall of Martial Heroes, as long as you finish the errands that your great-grandfather asked you to do.

But suddenly Xiao Zhu remembered, and scolded with a stern face, "His Royal Highness Xu Wang is the second son of the emperor's grandfather, you don't want to mess with Gangchang!"

The little eunuch immediately knelt down to plead guilty, Xiao Zhu snorted coldly.He can talk about some things, his father and mother can talk about it, even the emperor's uncle can talk about it, but other people can't talk about it, especially the people in the palace!

This is the rule, don't mess it up!
