Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 732 Reunion Dinner

As an elder brother, Zhu Yunying really needs to educate his younger brother well, which is also his responsibility and obligation.If you really want to talk about it, it's not just the younger brother who needs to be disciplined, some uncles or nephews also need more care and concern.

After all, Zhu Yunying is also the nominal head of the family now, so these things are naturally his responsibility.

The fourth child has caused some troubles and needs to be disciplined a little bit, and the fifth child also needs to come back from his hometown in Fengyang.

This is also a characteristic of the clan of the Ming Dynasty. Basically, it is necessary to go back to the hometown of Fengyang before receiving the title, to observe the ancestors' foundation, to let them know that people's livelihood is difficult, and to let them know that their fathers and ancestors are not easy to conquer the country.

Although the vast majority of the clan's children regard returning to their hometown in Fengyang as a formality, they may not make great progress after such an observation.But what should be done must still be done, and some seemingly formalism also has a certain meaning.

After all, the clan has a special status and should set an example.Even if there are some dandies in the clan, even those who do evil, but there should be rules, and Zhu Yunying will never object to these things.

After Zhu Yunying dismissed his younger brother, he opened some documents drafted by the cabinet, and his eyes immediately brightened.

Yan Zhenzhi started to take action. Taking advantage of the dry season, he mobilized civilians to strengthen the embankment in Xinxiang area.This is the area where the Yellow River once burst its embankment.

Of course, this is definitely not all. The most important thing is to strengthen the levee on the north bank, build dams to block the diversion in the north, and let the Yellow River flow entirely along the Huaihe River.This is a beginning, because everyone also knows that the river course from the Yellow River to the Huai River is not fixed.

So this is just a work in the early stage. The next step is to completely let the Yellow River flow from Bianshui to Surabaya, and then flow from Sishui to the fixed channel of Huaihe River.Although this is not a temporary cure, but if all goes well, it can basically ensure the stability of the Yellow River for decades or centuries, and the Yellow River will not continue to be diverted wantonly.

Zhu Yunying has always attached great importance to this matter, even though the past few years have been good and there is no major flood.But you can't just take chances and prepare in advance when it seems to be relatively stable now, so that the people on both sides of the Yellow River can be more stable.

It can also make future generations feel a little more at ease. After all, once the Yellow River bursts its embankment, not to mention the turmoil in the world, it will also make countless people displaced, and there will be great hidden dangers.

The Yellow River diverted, and the Huai River was seized into the sea. Zhu Yunying started to work hard on these things now.Not to mention solving all the hidden dangers, but if you can solve some hidden dangers, then do more. This is also a characteristic of Zhu Yunying.

Don't put off today's things until tomorrow, don't think about muddling along, always feel that you can do more and better.

The current Zhu Yunying probably understands some of the old Zhu's practices at the beginning. He always thinks that he is a little tired and has some skills, so he should do everything well as much as possible, so that future generations can have a stable country. up.

It's not that those who can do more work, or that some people are born to work hard, and they always want to do more.They don't feel any pain, they enjoy such a process very much.

Looking at Yan Zhenzhi's memorial, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but nodded, it seemed that Yan Zhenzhi was very attentive.The preparatory work in the early stage is very sufficient, not only has a plan, but also has a lot of material preparations, so now it can be carried out in an orderly manner.

It's just that such a project will inevitably require countless money and food, and no amount of materials will be too much.So even though the imperial court had prepared a lot before, whether it was supplies, money and food, civilian husbands, or labor, Yan Zhenzhi still opened his mouth to support.

Don't worry about it for the time being, Yan Zhenzhi is also a Pixiu, this former minister of the Ministry of Industry has always liked to ask for money and people.Even if there are a lot of materials in the library, he still needs to ask for more materials in advance, so that he can feel at ease, so that he can handle things steadily.

Now that he already knows Yan Zhenzhi's character very well, there is no need to be nervous about many things.

Wanting to be a good emperor is really not an easy task, and there are too many things that require the emperor to make decisions.

Naturally, it means that you need to make trade-offs and make some decisions. All kinds of suggestions from ministers, etc., must not be accepted in their entirety. .

Just when Zhu Yunying was still lamenting that Yan Zhenzhi was doing things effectively, a young eunuch hurriedly ran to the Hall of Martial Arts to ask for an audience.The next moment Wang Chengen was also a little flustered, and hurriedly trot towards Zhu Yunying with a flustered expression.

Looking at Wang Chengen's appearance, Zhu Yunying seemed to have noticed something, "Let's go, drive to Qianqing Palace."

After saying this, Zhu Yunying walked out of the Hall of Martial Heroes quickly, "Don't let the prince and queen go there, let the people from the imperial hospital wait. The defense of the palace city has been strengthened, and the Duke of Zhongshan will enter the palace and take charge of the defense of the imperial city."

It is said that Zhu Yunying has long been in control of the power, and basically there is no need to worry about some turmoil at certain moments.But some things are like this, it is not a bad thing to prepare in advance, and you can't be too careful about some things.

Zhu Yunying, who was walking faster, said as he walked, "Keep an eye on the palace. If the maids and eunuchs dare to leak the news at will, they will not be forgiven if they are severely punished! Let the queen be informed about this matter, and there must be no mercy at this time!"

Wang Chengen naturally remembered that today's son can be said to be more lenient since childhood, and he is considered lenient to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and will not punish them for minor mistakes.It's just that there is no kindness in the current situation. If some treacherous people don't think about the emperor's kindness and leak the news in the palace privately, they will certainly not be merciful to these people.

This is not just an explanation to Wang Cheng'en, it is also a reminder to the Queen that at this time, it is necessary to be tough, not to cause all the officials to be uneasy due to the disturbing news, let alone make the people of Ying Tianfu have doubts.

Zhu Yunying, who was almost trotting, was not afraid of getting angry, and continued, "Write down the clan, nobles and officials who inquired about the situation in the imperial city, and order Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate strictly!"

Supervision is also very necessary.Even if Lao Zhu started seeing his children some time ago, there were some news, but generally speaking, it was controllable.

Of course Zhu Yunying also understands that there are indeed many people who are always paying attention to the movement of the imperial city, especially the movement of the Qianqing Palace.

Those people's motives are hard to say, and Zhu Yunying often doesn't take it seriously.But at this time, if he cared too much, or was thinking about something, maybe Zhu Yunying would turn his back on him, maybe he would settle accounts after autumn.

These are things that are very likely to happen, and Zhu Yunying is indeed decisive and resolute at this time.Some things will not be all right just because he is firmly seated on the throne, and some things will not be all right just because he is the emperor.

Zhu Yunying will never be careless about things that should be careful and careful.He never thinks of people too kindly, and many times he even thinks about things in a bad direction.

It's only when you're prepared that you feel at ease.Even if some situations exceed expectations, the situation can be regained control as soon as possible.

At this time, the emperor repeatedly issued decrees, and many people naturally knew what to do, and they all understood that such a major event must be done with all their strength, and every decree of His Majesty must be carried out meticulously, without any omissions.

And Zhu Yunying didn't need to say anything more at this time, everything that should be ordered has been ordered, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared.Now he needs to go to Qianqing Palace to see the situation, in fact, he is also a little flustered now.

Even if it seems that I have done some psychological construction before, I even think of such things from time to time in the past two years.But if you really want to talk about it, if you really encounter such a thing, Zhu Yunying will still be unspeakably flustered.

It cannot be said that they have depended on Lao Zhu for so many years, but in fact, in recent years, the two have indeed become more dependent on each other.I have been in this world for more than 20 years, and I have always been favored by Lao Zhu endlessly, so there is no need to talk about my feelings.

Although a little flustered, I was also very disturbed inside.But Zhu Yunying knew that she had to be calm at this time, and she had to think about some things at this time.

The moment Zhu Yunying appeared in Qianqing Palace, the maids and eunuchs who were serving seemed to have a backbone.Of course, everyone was also kneeling. At this time, they were very restless and terrified, for fear of offending the emperor.

Zhu Yunying gently pushed open the door of the bedroom, and saw Shuangquan kneeling in front of the couch.

Slowly walking to the couch, Zhu Yunying sat beside Lao Zhu, watching the old man lying there quietly at the moment.With some slight breathing, Zhu Yunying also felt a little more at ease.

In Zhu Yunying's impression, his imperial grandfather had always been very powerful and domineering, and he had seen the most majestic and domineering appearance of Emperor Hongwu.It's just that the strength and dominance of Emperor Hongwu were never aimed at Zhu Yunying.

What Zhu Yunying saw, the old man in front of him was not only the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also his grandfather who loved him in every possible way.

After glancing at Shuangquan, Zhu Yunying asked in a low voice, "What did the imperial physician say?"

With red eyes, Shuangquan reported in a low voice, "It is said that His Majesty is out of energy."

Zhu Yunying was unhappy, and said directly, "Give us an accurate statement, don't be vague. Shouldn't we be getting ready?"

Shuangquan grabbed the ground with his head, at this moment he could only say, "Over there at the Tai Hospital, I'm afraid it will only be a few days."

Zhu Yunying sighed, and said to Shuangquan, "Let Fifth Uncle and the two imperial aunts also enter the palace. The other imperial uncles and imperial aunts, don't let them leave the capital, and don't tell them. If there is a will, immediately Let people enter the palace."

Shuangquan wiped away his tears, he could only accept the decree at this time, and he could only do so now.

Zhu Yunying just sat quietly in front of the couch, just looking at Lao Zhu's old face, she also felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

The lamps in the palace were also lit, and the sky had already darkened unconsciously.

Wang Chengen walked up to Zhu Yunying carefully, and said, "Your Majesty, would you like some food?"

Zhu Yunying said with a blank face, "I have no appetite, has Duke Zhongshan entered the palace?"

Wang Chengen immediately reported in a low voice, "Return to Your Majesty, Duke Zhongshan is on duty in the palace, Marquis Wuding and Marquis Changxing are also guarding the palace city."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, feeling a little more at ease in her heart.It seems that there are some things that need to be prepared. If this is done, Zhu Yunying really needs to make some preparations.

Zhu Yunying asked again, "Where are Uncle Wu and Aunt Huang, where are they now?"

Wang Chengen also said immediately, "His Royal Highness King Zhou and the two eldest princesses have already entered the palace, and they are waiting in the side hall."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, these things must be done well.Just prepare in advance, Zhu Yunying also knows what he should do, these are some of his responsibilities, which he must do well.

At this moment, Lao Zhu who was lying on the couch moved his eyelids a few times, and then slowly opened his eyes.Seeing Zhu Yunying, Lao Zhu's cloudy eyes seemed to have some light.

Old Zhu struggled to raise his hand, Zhu Yunying noticed this, and quickly held Lao Zhu's hand, "Grandpa Huang, you really scared us."

"We met our parents, and they said that we are promising." Lao Zhu's voice was very low, but he couldn't express his happiness, "Let's tell them that we became emperor and added more than 20 yuan to them." A grandson, a hundred or so great-grandchildren, our Zhu family is very distinguished."

Zhu Yunying immediately said, "Then they must be overjoyed, that is to say, our grandpa is a hero, and made our Zhu family grow from an old farmer to the emperor. Grandpa, I'm afraid they don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Old Zhu said happily, "Our father wants to beat us, but our mother can't stop us. We ran away if we were afraid of being beaten. Your eldest grandfather and second grandfather are still chasing us, saying that we are hysterical. It is your third grandfather and your second aunt who are protecting us."

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "I don't believe it even if I think about it. The ancestors of our old Zhu family were farming. The magistrates have never seen it before, and they think it is a great official. Return the emperor, our Zhu family has an emperor, they can believe it That's a weird thing!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu was about to get up, Zhu Yunying quickly helped Lao Zhu up and let Lao Zhu lean on him.

Holding his grandson's hand, Lao Zhu said with a smile, "They didn't believe me, and they all said we were talking nonsense. Later, we asked your grandmother and your father to talk to them. Your grandmother is very powerful, and they all like your grandmother. Your father is also capable, he has a good bearing and wears a dragon robe, so the people in the family believed it. And your great-uncle, he also said this, and the head of the family said he was wearing a costume."

Zhu Yunying's great-aunt is naturally Cao Guogong Li Zhen, and Lao Zhu once personally gave Li Zhen a five-clawed dragon robe.

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Our grandmother is a pungent person. If she is in charge of the family, the family will surely prosper."

Old Zhu naturally recognized this, and said with some expectation, "It's getting dark? We've been sleeping for a long time, why don't you come and have a drink with us?"

Zhu Yunying's heart skipped a beat, and she squeezed out a smile and said, "Succeed, grandson will have a drink with Grandpa Huang. Uncle Wu and the two aunts are also outside, so let's have a drink together."

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, "Cheng, Cheng, bring our Yin'er here too. Let's go after eating."
