Chapter 246
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and said angrily: "He still has the face to come back! He still has the face to visit your father's grave! It's shameless! If he hadn't made a big mistake, your father wouldn't be worried about him, maybe he wouldn't sick……"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Grandfather, don't blame the second uncle. The death of the father cannot be blamed on the second uncle..."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said disgustedly: "Don't speak for him, don't we know his virtues yet!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't try to persuade him any more. His uncle Qin Wang was really a jerk, and speaking for him was a waste of words, which couldn't change Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of him.

"Grandfather, grandson may not have seen your uncles for a long time, why don't you let them go back to Beijing together, how about we have a reunion year?"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Zhu Yunxi replied: "Grandpa, since the father was gone, my grandson often feels lonely. Grandpa also added a few gray hairs this year. My grandson really can't bear it...

Besides, although the feudal kings and uncles are each guarding one side, they are still a family after all, if they can take advantage of the Chinese New Year, it would be great to have a family reunion..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, his eyes were full of thoughts, obviously moved.

You must know that he is also a 65-year-old man. Empress Ma is dead, and now his eldest son is also dead.

These blows one after another made Zhu Yuanzhang very worried.

Make him feel alone and helpless.

What's more, as people get older, they will care more about their family, and they will be more eager to see their children.

The house is full of children and grandchildren, and they are happy and harmonious. Who doesn't envy such family happiness.

Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly: "But...you have so many uncles, and they have guards. They eat horses and chew them all the way, which costs a lot. Isn't this a waste of money and people?"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was really moved, so he hurriedly said: "Grandfather, the reunion of the royal family is also an example for the world. It is worth spending a little bit for this. If the grandfather is worried, the grandson can use it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said, "How much money do you have! It's a waste of money, what will you do when you're done spending it? You'd better keep it for yourself, as a grandson, you can't have some private money..."

Private money?
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment!
Old Zhu, how strict you are being controlled by Queen Ma!

You know about private money!There must be a lot of secrets!
Zhu Yuanzhang finally made up his mind and said: "All of them are richer than us, and the court can still pay for this fee? Let's tell them who wants to come! But the station along the way cannot receive them for nothing, let them use their own money to subsidize the court! "

What the hell!

What a sting!
If you give an order, who would dare not come?

The key is that you have to pay for the travel expenses yourself!

It's okay to be stingy even on his own son!
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "The guards can't let them bring more people. If there are too many people, it will be bad luck if there is any trouble in the capital..."

A smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face again and he said: "Aren't they all well-managed? They are more ruthless than anyone else in making money! It just so happens that our internal storage is empty, so they should take out the money to honor my father, right?" !"

Zhu Yunxi really wanted to give him a thumbs up!

right!That's the way to go!
Squeeze them as dry as possible!

The cleaner the search, the happier it is!
It's best to loot their palace treasury!
At that time, won't the money still be yours?

Although they are uncles, if the family is separated, the money will have to be counted separately!

But Zhu Yunxi still wanted to show how much he cared for his uncle, so he couldn't bear to say, "Grandpa, it's not easy for uncles to earn some money. It's not good for you to do this...?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You don't have to worry! They are rich one by one! Besides, it is only natural for a son to respect his father! Who dares to say anything!"

Zhu Yunxi also smiled and said: "In this case... Grandpa Huang, as an uncle who cares about his nephew, it is natural for him to send some money, right?"

"Slippery!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "You just advised us, don't you want it yourself!"

Zhu Yunxie said with a smile: "Grandson is also following the example of Grandpa Huang. When the time comes, grandson will host a banquet and invite all uncles to come to the banquet. If they don't have [-] yuan, they won't be served wine and food. What do you think of Grandpa Huang?"

"Hahaha...Then their meal is precious!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandpa Huang, when the uncles come, the grandson will take the lead in presenting a big gift to Grandpa Huang, so that they won't have to bleed a lot. How about we split the gift money equally?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and stared and said, "The autumn wind is hitting us! You are still No.1!"

Zhu Yunxie said straightforwardly: "The grandson also contributes money and efforts, okay! If there is no support from the grandson, how can those Uncle Wangs be willing to pay a big price! That's all right, and you will earn a lot of money, Grandpa Huang. But the grandson is at the bottom line and can't go any lower!"

"Hahahaha...hehehe..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Okay! Our grandparents and grandchildren will join hands to cheat them!"

Turning his face away, he smiled and cursed: "Good boy! You are more ruthless than us!"

"To each other..." Zhu Yunxi also smiled comfortably.

But then he reminded: "Grandson thinks that you have to ask all the uncles to strictly restrain your subordinates, lest there will be unscrupulous guards on the road to harm the people, then it will discredit the court and make the emperor's grandfather shameless."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "You are right, if the guards are not restrained and the people complain, then our family's New Year's Eve dinner will not be good!"

We must know that some vassal kings are extravagant and lustful in their own territories, and the people under them must also develop the habit of being arrogant and domineering.

If you don't strictly enforce restrictions, there may not be any shitty things along the way!
What will I do then?
If you don't punish, you really can't swallow this breath. The people are the foundation of your rule, so how can you ignore it.

But all of them are his uncles, and if he allows Zhu Yuanzhang to punish them, he will not miss his family affection.

This is also a dilemma.

Therefore, the best way is to let Zhu Yuanzhang strictly restrain them and kill the difficulties in the cradle!
Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, he still really wanted his sons to return to the capital to reunite, otherwise he would not be so happy, and even discussed with himself how to blackmail them.

But even if he proposes to let them all come back, it can't shake Zhu Yuanzhang's decision!

Because the feudal princes will be invited only when the edict is issued, and when they receive the news, they will already be grandsons!
They came to the capital just to participate in the canonization ceremony of their great-grandson.

In fact, this is like marrying a wife in later generations, first get the marriage certificate, then the two parties are legally married, and the facts have been determined.

The next step is to set up a banquet and hold a ceremony, but it's just a process.

So Zhu Yunxi was not worried about changes in his grandson's position at all.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who changes from moment to moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "We have ordered people to kill the nine clans of the Lu family, burn their bodies, cut off their heads and let them take it to the people around the capital for inspection, and tell them that there are villains spreading rumors, so don't worry, these rumors It will subside soon."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang... It's because my grandson didn't do well enough." Zhu Yunxie said with a sigh.

Zhu Yuanzhang comforted and said: "Don't think too much, you don't have to take this kind of conspiracy to heart."

Zhu Yunxie nodded, thought for a while and said, "Grandfather, you are going to be 66 years old soon. My grandson knows that you have never lived a short lifespan, and it is because you are afraid of following the example, but this is also a major event in life. Why don't you let your grandson celebrate your birthday?" how?"

The earliest record of birthday etiquette is also in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

According to "Yan's Family Instructions Feng Cao Pian": Jiangnan customs, the first period of children's birth, to make new clothes, bathroom decorations, men use bows and arrows, paper and pens, women use knives, rulers, and thread, and add food and drink... ...Since hereafter, if the second relative is still there, every day, I will have a taste of wine and food.

It can be seen that in the Jiangnan area at that time, there was a custom similar to birthday celebrations. On the agreed day, children were asked to make new clothes.

If the parents are still alive, they will celebrate this day with food and drink.

In the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, it gradually became a custom for the common people to celebrate birthdays.

When Emperor Liang Yuan was young in the Southern Dynasties, he often set up fast lectures on the occasion of his birth.

Shun Yanwu, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, believed: "The gift of birthday, which the ancients did not have, is between Qi and Liang, and this letter is done."

The reason why Zhu Yunxi said this is because in folk customs, 66 is an important juncture in life.

Just like 73 and 84, it is the age when many old people are easy to get a scholar.

As the saying goes: "When the year is over 66, the king of Hades wants to eat meat." When the birthday is 66, the daughter will buy pork to celebrate her birthday. As long as the birthday star has eaten pork, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, six is ​​an auspicious word in China, and people hope that Liuliu will go smoothly.

The ancients regarded intimacy as the difference, which is called five clothes, if one is added to the five clothes, it becomes the six relatives.

This practice of adding one before "five" which is half of ten, naturally has the meaning of "more than half", so the number six also has the meaning of "many".
Such as "six streets and three cities", "three heads and six arms", "three pushes and six questions" and so on.

"Liu Liu Da Shun" represents Ruyi Antai.

"Three Years of Zuo Zhuan Yin Gong" said: Junyi, ministers' behavior, father's kindness, son's filial piety, brother's love, and younger brother's respect, the so-called six obediences.

As the saying goes, life at seventy is rare since ancient times, and people who can live to 70 years old are very old people, and 66 is very close to seventy, so folks are used to pray for their parents to avoid disasters and wish them a long and happy life.
