I want to be a grandson

Chapter 267 Zhu Yunwen's Ending
"Grandpa Huang is really not like this. My grandson has no other ideas. Grandpa Huang please enlighten me..."

"What did we say? We didn't say anything. It's not that we thought too much. I'm afraid you have ghosts in your heart?"

Zhu Yunxi really has a feeling that jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it off...

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "We don't care which girl you like, just give her a name, but you have to know that Wei Guogong's family has a close relationship with our family, and their status in the court is not comparable to that of ordinary people."

After looking at Zhu Yun, he continued: "So you must be cautious when dealing with Duke Wei's mansion. If Xu Da's daughter is given a lower name, it will definitely not work. It will attract people's comments, saying that you don't treat honorable people favorably, but if you give the name The points are too honorable, and it’s not right now..."

Zhu Yunxi understands that Xu Da's daughter is not someone who can be overthrown casually by himself, not to mention the position of a concubine, at least the title of side concubine.

But once a side concubine is to be established, a gold book must be given. This is a major event in the court and cannot be sloppy.

And now that he is still in the filial piety period, he can't set up a concubine with great fanfare, otherwise it will attract criticism.

So Zhu Yunxi bit the bullet and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson only wants to cultivate his personality and help him handle household affairs. I dare not think about other things. Please don't misunderstand Grandpa Huang..."

"By the way, my lord, something happened to my grandson last night, which made my grandson very angry..."

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly changed the topic, you must know that when an elder wants to tease you, no matter how he explains it, he can't explain it!
So Zhu Yunxi immediately got back to business and told Zhu Yuanzhang about the burning of the baby girl last night.

He put another memorial in front of him and said: "Grandfather, last night, my grandson summoned Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to discuss with Dali Temple Minister Zhou Zhiqing and several officials from the Ministry of Households how to uselessly deal with drowning infants. vulgar."

"This is the disposal method we came up with based on the Daming Law Firm. We want to write the infant drowning incident into the Daming Law, and make it an article of the criminal law in the future. Please look over it to Grandpa Huang."

When it came to drowning infants, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned immediately, and reached out to pick up the memorial and opened it to watch.

He nodded frequently while watching, and finally finished watching, closed the memorial and said, "Is this what you mean?"

Zhu Yunxi replied honestly: "Reporting to the emperor is the meaning of my grandson. Several ministers made supplements and proofreading according to the laws of Ming Dynasty. My grandson thinks that infant drowning can no longer be called vulgar. This kind of cruelty and killing is regarded as an ant." , is too vicious!"

"If you don't punish severely, what's the point of ethics! Besides, if there are more men and fewer women, it will not only affect the population growth of Daming, but also make it difficult for the common people to marry. This is not conducive to the stability of Daming's foundation for the imperial court!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said quite agreeingly: "The world is peaceful now, as long as you work hard, how can you not support your children?! It is really unjustifiable for them to kill infants! They should be severely punished!"

Then he said to Zhu Yunxi: "Since you have this idea, just follow it. From today on, the Daming law will add a child drowning rule!"

"Grandson is a baby girl in the world, thank you Grandfather for your kindness!" Zhu Yunxie saluted happily.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, because there is a history of punishing drowning infants.

In history, in the 21st year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, due to severe droughts in Shaanxi and other places, floods and locust disasters also occurred in other provinces, and even earthquakes occurred in some places.

Therefore, the 21 years of Chenghua can be described as constant disasters!

And such a disaster will inevitably lead to people fleeing famine, people being displaced, starving and dying everywhere, and people are panicking.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Chenghua issued an edict requesting civil and military officials and ordinary people to speak out, just to satisfy God and get through this disaster.

Later, he gave instructions on the drowning of babies, severely punished those who drowned their children, and asked the people to change their customs.

Moreover, during the Qing Dynasty, it was ordered again and again that infanticide was not allowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Even the Mongols know to encourage childbearing and severely punish those who drown female infants. If we can't even compare with them, then what kind of emperor are we? You have done a great job! I have won my heart!"

Zhu Yunxi saluted and said: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your praise! Grandpa Huang is the Son of Heaven, so Meng Yuan naturally cannot be compared!"

In fact, the Yuan Dynasty had laws to protect girls from harm, and they were very strict!

It is recorded in "Yuan History Criminal Law Records": "All those who drowned their daughters lost half of their family wealth and worked in the army, and the first one was a slave."

That is to say, if you dare to drown a baby girl, half of your family property will be taken back to the court and used for military service, and if you drown a baby once, you will be a slave for life, and you will not be free from then on.

You must know that once you become a slave, you will become a slave, or even become a slave directly!
Then in this life, or even a few lifetimes, it will be difficult to turn over!
Therefore, the laws formulated by the Yuan Dynasty for drowning infants were much more powerful than those formulated by Zhu Yunxie!
In comparison, Zhu Yunxi is gentle!

Because the Yuan Dynasty never gave you a second chance to drown your baby!

It is also recorded that "those who practice filial piety for their sons, those who cut their livers, seal their shares, and bury their sons as filial piety are prohibited."

It can be seen from this that the Yuan Dynasty severely cracked down on the behavior of drowning infants.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's strict treatment of drowning infants is not because he is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, nor is it because some people think that he is persecuting the people in disguise, but there are reasons to follow!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't wait to say, "Grandpa Huang, grandson, go and tell them the order of Grandpa Huang, add this article to the newly printed Great Ming Law, and there will be laws to follow when dealing with drowned infants in the future!"

Before the words were finished, the person disappeared.

"This child!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head, with indescribable love in his heart.

It is Daming's blessing to have such an heir who puts politics at heart...

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to revise the memorials and continued his busy work.

"My lord, the Second Highness is asking to see you..."

I don't know how long it took, Qingtong reported next to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that Qingtong's expression was strange, so he couldn't help asking, "Let him in...what's the matter with you?"

Qing Tong lowered his head and said cautiously: "My lord, the Second Highness has shaved off all..."

"what!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in amazement: "Yun Wen shaved his hair? What's going on? Hurry up and declare him into the palace!"

"Yunwen! You... what's wrong with you?!"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen entered the Jinshen Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being surprised to see that he was bald, without a trace of hair, and wearing a simple monk's cassock.

Quickly stood up, walked to his side and asked, "Yun Yun, what are you doing, why did you shave your head off! You must not let it go!"

It turned out that Zhu Yunwen sighed in frustration that day, picked up the razor and went towards the top of his head.

Then strands of hair fell down one after another.

There was no sadness on his face, nor loss and annoyance, as if he was doing an ordinary thing...

Maybe this is because there is nothing more sad than heart death.

Zhu Yunwen said: "Grandfather, grandson is not filial..." He was about to bow down and salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed him, frowned and said: "Yunwen, your mother is your mother, no matter what she does, you will not be involved.

You are the one from our Zhu family, listen to what we say, and put your hair back on, your body, hair and skin are affected by your parents, so you can't just shave off..."

With a trace of grief on Zhu Yunwen's face, there was also a trace of relief, and said: "Thank you, Grandpa... It's just that my grandson has seen through the mundane affairs now, and wants to become a monk. In the future, I will chant scriptures and pray for my parents every day, and invite Grandpa Complete!"

Zhu Yuanzhang comforted and said: "Where can't you chant scriptures and pray for blessings? Why bother to become a monk? Listen to the emperor's grandfather and grow your hair."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "Grandpa Huang, you don't need to persuade me any more. My grandson just wants to concentrate on chanting sutras and doesn't want to be disturbed by other mortal worlds. I ask Grandpa Huang to help me."

"Brother!"

When Zhu Yunxi came back, as soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw Zhu Yunqi's head shining brightly and wearing cassock, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

Quickly stepped forward and said: "Brother, what are you doing? Brother, you must not let yourself go..."

The expression on Zhu Yunwen's face was a bit complicated, but then he said calmly: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun..."

Zhu Yunxi stopped him and said anxiously: "Brother, what's going on? Why...why is Brother dressed like this?!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately thought of the ending of his elder brother in history.

There are three theories about the ending of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

The first is that after Zhu Di entered Nanjing, Emperor Jianwen set himself on fire and died in a fire. Zhu Di found his body and buried it with the royal ceremony.

The second theory is that Emperor Jianwen did not actually die, but escaped and fled overseas.

Because many countries in Nanyang were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty at that time, Zhu Di did not know where to get the news, so he sent Zheng He to the Western Seas seven times.

The third theory is that Emperor Jianwen disguised himself as a monk, escaped from the palace through a tunnel, and lived an ordinary life in incognito.

And many people tend to believe this statement, because the fire was too big that day, and the body found in the end was so burned that even men and women could not be distinguished, let alone identify whether it was Zhu Yunqi himself.

But at that time, because Zhu Di was eager to ascend the throne, if Zhu Yunqi could not be found, then his position on the throne would be unfair, so he found a corpse at random to fill the number, declared that Emperor Jianwen was dead, and then sent someone secretly Look around.

Some even say that the famous Red Cliff Book of Heaven was written by Zhu Yunqi.

So Zhu Yunqi's ending has also become an unsolved mystery.

However, there are many circumstantial evidences in history that are worthy of scrutiny, especially such a very special statement in "The History of Ming Dynasty".

"(Hu Wei) returned to the court in the 21st year, and visited the emperor in Xuanfu. The emperor had already gone to bed, and when he heard that he had arrived, he hurriedly called in, and what he heard was right. The four drums were missed and he came out."
