Emperor Ming's grandson

As the youngest son of Xu Da, king of Zhongshan, and the uncle of the prince, Xu Zengshou naturally knew what he should do.What's more, the family's tutoring has been fairly strict over the years, and the eldest brother has mentioned him a lot over the years, so the governor of the right army and the governor of the left governor know what he has to do, and he knows that he is also shouldering important responsibilities now.

In the Wenhua Hall, Xiao Zhu sat on a chair, "Uncle, the emperor and mother allocated 15 taels of silver from internal funds. negligence."

"Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will do my duty faithfully." Xu Zengshou said in a very serious manner, "I will personally escort the silver and put it into the warehouse after it is counted. I will also discuss it with the young master."

Little Zhu immediately corrected her, and said to Xu Zengshou, "Uncle, you went to Kaifeng this time, not to ask you to discuss with the young master. Although you are a little higher in rank, it's just a matter of governing the Huanghuai River, and the young teacher is responsible for it." host."

The young master, of course, is Yan Zhenzhi. Although he has now removed his status as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, as one of the three orphans, the young master is also incomparably beautiful. Such an identity is even more prominent and is countless. A civil servant's dream.

After all, there are still some military strong and culturally weak, and the status of civil servants is not high.Sangong is the reserve of the Wuxun Group, and Sangu is actually the 'ultimate dream' of some civil servants. Such a false title is actually the limit of courtiers.

Yan Zhenzhi seems to be far away from the center of the imperial court, and seems to be starting to lack actual power, but many things can't just look at the surface.

Yan Zhenzhi has always been the emperor's confidant, and the governance of Huanghuai is even more important. If Yan Zhenzhi can accomplish this matter, it must benefit the country and the people, and it must be a matter of great merit.

This kind of thing seems to be thankless, but for those who pursue it, what Yan Zhenzhi is doing now is also their ultimate dream.After all, some people don't just think about prosperity and wealth, they also have their own ideas and ambitions.

Looking at Xu Zengshou, Xiao Zhu continued, "This time you brought some honored guards over there, and you have to train those people well. All of them are rich and rich, well-clothed and well-fed. These people should also be tidied up. .”

Xu Zengshou naturally understood, and said decisively, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely train them well."

"Fu Rang from Duke Ying's family, you should train him well." Little Zhu said with certainty, "And our cousins, also go there together. Not to mention that they will be of great use, you should After some experience, I will be able to serve my father."

This time Xu Zengshou's expression became a bit bitter, and he actually understood many things in his heart, but some people brought over this time did not seem to be so easy to deal with, they were really not easy to deal with.

Others might let Fu Rang, the 'youngest son' of Ying Guogong Fu Youde, but Xu Zengshou would not be polite.In the final analysis, Ying Guogong Fu Youde has indeed been very powerful in recent years, and he is indeed extremely beautiful, but compared with Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, he must still be worse.

Furthermore, apart from his father's glory and meritorious service, Xu Zengshou is also very aware of his family background, which is incomparable to the Fu family.

Fu Youde's eldest son is the consort Duwei, and his daughter was betrothed to the emperor's cousin, the present Jin Wang Zhu Jixi.

But so what, Xu Zengshou's nephew is the crown prince, and his sister is the current queen. This status is enough to explain many things.The real 'opponent' of the Xu family has always been the Chang family. If it weren't for the relationship with the Chang family today, the Xu family would have been able to suppress the Chang family.

Other feats of martial arts are ignored, either the generals who followed King Zhongshan back then, or the generals who followed Xu Huizu.

Wu Xun's family doesn't need to care, it's mainly those relatives.For example, the heirs of Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing are the emperor's cousins, and the emperor has always been close to his two aunts, and they are not easy to provoke.

Looking at Xu Zengshou, little Zhu said, "If my cousin really makes trouble, someone will send him back. We think it's okay, our cousin is very knowledgeable, so we won't cause trouble if we think about it. At most, we don't know the people Suffering, somewhat dandy."

These things, that is, little Zhu can say so, Xu Zengshou dare not comment.Or he felt that some of the things he knew were actually slightly different from what His Royal Highness saw.

This is also a very normal thing. In front of the emperor and the prince, the big guys have to restrain themselves and behave well.

Xiao Zhu continued, "Uncle, you can't be sloppy with the construction of the Yellow River embankment. You will stay there for a while. Even if you can't be named a marquis, it will be easy to do things in the future. Why can't all our uncles be named marquises!"

When mentioning this matter, Xu Zengshou was about to shed tears with envy, and didn't know what to say.

On the Chang family's side, Chang Mao inherited the title, so there is nothing to say.Chang Sheng and Chang Sen built the three guards of Busan in their early years and built the city on Yishan Island (Tsushima Island), so one is the Marquis of Busan and the other is the Marquis of Yishan.

In fact, everyone knows that even if they have military merits, it is very limited.But the emperor can still grant them marquis in a legitimate way, because there is no problem in the procedure, and the Chang family brothers do have military merits.

As for his second brother, Xu Yingxu, although he was disabled in the battle in Mobei a few years ago, he also won the title of Marquis of Kaiyuan.For this hereditary and irreplaceable title, Xu Yingxu also felt extremely honorable, and the disability was worth it.

Now in the family, that is to say, he does not have a title now, even if he has the position of the left governor, it is nothing compared to the Marquis.Such an identity is actually a 'false title'.

For Xu Zengshou, he is thinking about being able to be a Marquis now, and he has been running around all these years, completing some tasks, so naturally he is thinking about being a Marquis.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. His advantage was naturally his family background, so if he were to be a Marquis, the threshold must be lower.As long as some achievements have been made, he can be justified as a Marquis.

It is not uncommon for father, son and brother to be enshrined as lords, and such things are not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty.So whether it is the Chang family or the Xu family, it seems that they are extremely prominent, but such things don't need to be rare, as long as they have military merits.

Little Zhu still has ways of being a servant, even though Xu Zengshou is his uncle, but little Zhu doesn't think these things are just about friendship.The difference between monarchs and ministers, these things must exist, and Xiao Zhu has a clearer understanding of these things.

After Xu Zengshou understood what he should do, Xiao Zhu did not intend to continue sitting in the Wenhua Palace.

Turning around, he went straight to the Hall of Martial Heroes. The kid was a bit modest, so he was told to report it, and he didn't break in directly.

"Send your uncle?" Zhu Yunying smiled and asked, "But follow what we taught you?"

Little Zhu naturally helped Zhu Yunying with the memorial, and said, "Most of them are based on what my father taught. My uncle is also a smart person, so he naturally knows how to do it."

Zhu Yunying nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "That's good, he is indeed a smart person and knows what to do. Let your mother tell your aunt and grandma later that your cousins ​​also need to practice."

"My uncle is afraid of our cousins, who dares to provoke them." Little Zhu muttered, "Most of the names of these cousins ​​were given by you, and you treat them kindly. Wu Xun If they are beaten, they will be beaten, and if they are fined, they will be fined, and those cousins ​​are not easy to provoke."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help being happy, and said, "That's the Mei family's, but the others are somewhat similar to your second uncle. In the future, these few are probably unreliable."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunying took out the two memorials, "Take them back, and let your mother talk to you carefully. Then write another memorial and send it over tomorrow."

Little Zhu naturally understood that this was his homework, and the crown prince also needed to keep learning and improving.

Little Zhu left the Hall of Martial Arts right away, he knew what he should do, and he knew many things well.After all, it was Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunying who brought him up. Although his methods are still a bit immature, and his knowledge and scheming are not enough, but compared to children of the same age, little Zhu is considered scheming and cunning.

The most important thing is that although this child is a bit bold, he does have some measure and knows what he should do.Even if there are some things like being favored and arrogant, it is not too much.

Zhu Yunying is also very proud of Little Zhu's performance. This is the power of education, and this is the performance of the best crown prince.The crown prince should have power and prestige, but he shouldn't be disrespectful.

Even Zhu Yunying didn't act recklessly back then, but did things within his limits.

Including Da Zhu back then, even if he was in a detached position, he would not do excessive things, he knew what he should do.

Seeing little Zhu leaving, Zhu Yunying said to Wang Chengen, "Go and pass a message to Xu Zengshou, just experience those martial arts. Many dudes should suffer. Those who are self-motivated, let them do something too. Don't make mistakes It is enough to guard the city wall in the palace, the most important thing I need is these guards, and what I need is people to handle affairs."

Naturally, Wang Chengen also understood, and immediately went to convey the will, and he probably understood the emperor's intention to some extent.

There has indeed been some peace in these years, and in the prosperous Jiangnan, it is more or less a drain on people's fighting spirit.When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, the children of the aristocratic family may be better at it, but they know how to enjoy it.

Even if it belongs to Wu Xun's family, although there are indeed some who seem to be more progressive, but in terms of the overall atmosphere, there is indeed some hedonism, and it is time to rectify it.

It's better to continue to do a good job as an emperor, Zhu Yunying now also needs to handle some political affairs properly.These things can't be idle, no matter how big or small, in fact Zhu Yunying has to deal with them properly.

Wang Chengen came back soon, and said happily, "Your Majesty, Song Zhong is asking to see you outside."

"Looking at you like this, you should know what's going on?" Zhu Yunying also became interested, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what's going on."

Wang Chengen also knew how to be good, and said, "Your servant is just thinking blindly, just looking at Song Zhong's face with joy, how dare your servant ask more questions."

These can be regarded as having a sense of proportion, even though he is the emperor's most trusted eunuch, he can also be regarded as the predecessor.It's just that Wang Chengen asked what he knew he should ask, and he didn't say what he shouldn't.If you're too curious, or if you can't keep a secret, it's all over.

Since Wang Chengen doesn't seem to know either, then don't ask any more questions.Anyway, there is nothing to be curious about, and the answer will be known directly soon, and Song Zhong will come to report directly, which is enough.

Song Zhong was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down after entering the hall, "Your Majesty, great victory! Ma Sanbao set up an ambush in the old port and smashed the sea bandit Chen Zuyi. Chen Zuyi and others were captured, and they are being escorted to Beijing!"

When Zhu Yunying heard this, she immediately became happy, "Oh? That's really a good thing. In all these years, my fleet, except for those capsized by wind and waves, is also considered to be a disaster by this group of pirates. Well, this is a Good thing!"

This matter is indeed a good thing, and Zhu Yunying really thinks it is worth celebrating.

Of course, Chen Zuyi's weight is not particularly important, at least on the surface, this is a pirate, even if the strength is relatively good, it seems that it does not deserve the emperor's more attention.

So it's fine to have fun secretly in your heart. If it makes the teacher mobilize the crowd, it will be too much face for Chen Zuyi, and it will appear that the court has lost a little bit of value.Zhu Yunying is definitely not willing to do such a thing.

Maintaining the dignity of the court is what he should do, and it can even be said that he needs to lead by example.

But no matter what, Chen Zuyi, a pirate, did have some strength. To wipe out this group of pirates would surely make the merchant fleet of the Ming Dynasty more secure, and Chen Zuyi, a pirate, really deserved to die.

It's just that how to use the life of Chen Zuyi, a pirate, to frighten some people is a more important thing.Even a mortal person has some value, and it must be to maximize the benefits.

Zhu Yunying thought for a while and said, "I remember that there are still many envoys from the Fan Kingdom in Yingtian Mansion, just let them go and have a look."

Chen Zuyi, a pirate, had a good reputation in Nanyang, and he made the Nanyang countries helpless.Then let Chen Zuyi's death deter Nanyang a little bit, even if these are just some messengers, it can deter Nanyang a little bit.

These things are also what Zhu Yunying thinks he should do. Chen Zuyi can't get on the table, so they must have a certain value.

It is also possible to kill chickens and monkeys.
