I want to be a grandson

Chapter 469 Zhu Yuanzhang's Favor
Zhu Yunxi asked: "Ren Shilang, what books are the girls in the boudoirs reading now?"

Ren Hengtai didn't know why he asked this question, so he replied: "Your Highness, "The Analects of Women", "Book of Filial Piety", "Nv Commandments", Sima Guang's "Sushui Jiayi", Song Dynasty Zheng Qi's "Zheng's Standard",
The Han Confucian classic "Ritual Mourning Clothes-Zixia Biography", as well as the four virtues of "Zhou Li Tianguan Neizai", in addition to "Biography of Martyr Girls"..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said to the maid at the side: "Concubine Taisun, please prepare these books, and the lonely king will read them later."

The maid saluted and said: "Your servant obeys." Then she bowed and retreated.

Zhu Yunxie said again: "Ren Shilang, I want to proofread the books that women read and select a few good ones, and use this as a standard to spread to the people of the world. What do you think?"

Ren Hengtai said happily: "Your Highness, it would be a great kindness if you could do this! The books they read are disorderly and not authoritative enough. They should be more regulated, so that they can improve their teaching."

Ren Hengtai said this because many people have written daughter books. Although these books are not widely circulated or must-read by everyone, they should not be underestimated.

For example, Song Ruoxin from Beizhou in the Tang Dynasty, which is now Qinghe County, Hebei Province, wrote ten chapters of "The Analects of Women" based on "The Analects of Confucius", in the form of questions and answers, and his sister Ruozhao commented.

This book was compiled into the "Four Books for Women" by Wang Xiang of the Qing Dynasty.

In the books written by others, they use the women in their own family as a model, and record the cases of many women in the family. This is obviously carrying private goods!

Rather than writing a book, it is better to make a name for his family.

Moreover, most of the books they wrote focus on the differences between men and women, the three obediences and four virtues, serving uncles and uncles, and housekeeping etiquette as norms.

It's just rotten dross!

After reading, people will become ignorant, numb, cautious, sluggish, narrow-minded, dependent, stick to the rules, stifle individuality, and have no originality!
If you read such a book, you will only be poisoned!
If you practice according to it, you will be deeply poisoned!
That's why Zhu Yunxi said that he would compile some books as must-reads for women recommended by the court.

Ren Hengtai said: "Your Highness, compiling a book is a major event that requires the input of many people. This matter should be done by the people of the Imperial Academy."

Zhu Yunxi said: "Don't worry, I will give orders, but before that, your Ministry of Rites must come up with a charter, which aspects should be emphasized in the compilation of books, and these must be carefully considered so that there are traces to follow. How to do it."

"Yes, I obey the order. I will discuss with my colleagues immediately after I go down. It will definitely not affect the progress. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

"That's good..."

The two talked for a while, then Ren Hengtai bowed and left.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty invites Your Highness to have lunch at noon." Li Fu reported from the side.

Zhu Yunxi stretched his waist and said: "Let someone go back and report it, and say that I won't go back to eat."

Li Fu knew that he wanted to inform Concubine Grandson, so he agreed.

When Zhu Yunxi was busy with government affairs for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, and went to Jinshen Hall, the table in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was already full of food.

"Grandfather, what day is it today? Why is it so rich?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and drove out the court ladies and eunuchs, leaving only the grandfather and grandson,

With a smile on his face, he said narrowly: "I heard that some people are extravagant and don't know how to be restrained, so let's ask the imperial chef to cook a few more delicious dishes to nourish some people's body."

Zhu Yunxi's face was reddish, with an embarrassed look on his face.

I can't blame myself for this, the newlyweds are very affectionate, and I'm talking about it, can it be bad to be selected as a palace lady?

Coupled with the fact that the other party is gentle, virtuous, and considerate, who can control it?

There is a saying in later generations, anyone who wakes up early is either a bachelor or a real bachelor!
The flowers on the temples of the cloud are shaking, and the hibiscus is warming the spring night.

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

It's not that the king doesn't want to get up early, it's because he can't get up...

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he faintly felt a little soreness in his lower back... Sigh, young man...

Still need to be restrained...

However, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxi did not show any signs of timidity. Instead, he stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said, "Grandpa, you are already old... You need to make up your body!"

"You son of a bitch! Why did you come around us again! Shameless!"

"Grandfather, I heard that the concubine Zhang in the harem will give birth in two or three months. Is the grandfather ready to deliver the baby? The utensils and clothes should also be prepared properly, so as not to be in a hurry, right? ...

Oh, the grandson was only concerned about the birth of the elder, but forgot to congratulate the grandpa, what a sin..."

The muscles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched twice, and the words of rebuttal came to his lips, but he could only hold back!

But being rejected by his grandson, and unwilling to reconcile, he thought about it and immediately said: "We will be 68 years old next year, and we can grow old and have future generations. This is a great blessing! A great blessing that can't be obtained by holding a lantern! Unlike some people , but you will fall behind us at such a young age..."

After finishing speaking, I still didn't forget to look at someone with disdainful eyes...

Zhu Yunxi suffered tens of thousands of injuries in an instant!

This is simply a crit!

"Grandpa Huang, what you said is wrong, my grandson has only been married for a few days, no matter how fast I am, I can't compare to you..."

"Is that admitting defeat?"

"..."

For a moment, Zhu Yunxi was speechless...

Is it okay not to admit defeat, who is as old and strong as you!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to another son this year, the No. 20 sixth son Zhu Nan, but he died shortly after he was born.

The concubine in the harem is now conceived, according to history, should be Zhu Yuanzhang's last child, Princess Baoqing, born at the age of 68 by Zhu Yuanzhang.

So if you don't admire other people's physical strength, it's really not good!
The two quarreled for a while, but in the end Zhu Yunxi was defeated, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang who sat down to eat contentedly.

People won, and apparently their appetites improved.

Zhu Yunxi even doubted that if Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't tell him that he was the one who was deflated, would he not be in the mood to eat!

Alas, when I get old, sometimes I really like a child, I like to be more serious, and I have to fight for the first place in everything!

During the meal, Zhu Yunxi talked about his desire to compile women's books, and also expressed his thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said: "If you want to compile books that women read, we support you, but you can wait for a while."

Zhu Yunxi asked puzzledly: "Grandfather, now the Imperial Academy has no other errands, and the Ministry of Rites is also free. It's time to hold the general examination next spring. It will be quite busy then."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If these books are compiled, they will definitely be handed down to future generations. It is a great merit to write books to inspire people's wisdom and teach them.

It should be promulgated after you ascend the throne, so as to gain people's hearts and add merit to you. If you do it now, isn't that pushing the merit on us? "

Zhu Yunxi felt a little amused, "Grandfather, why do we have to divide between you and grandson? As long as it is beneficial to the court and the people, it is the same. Why make it so clear."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "When you wanted to amend the law and make some adjustments to those severe laws, we had this consideration.

But at that time, you were not married yet, if you wanted to do something, we let you do it, this good name has already fallen on us, if we rob you of your merits again, do we want to lose our face? "

As long as it is Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, everything he does will be attributed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Take the "rule of benevolence and propaganda" of the Ming Dynasty in history as an example. Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne in August, became seriously ill in May of the second year, and passed away at the end of the month. He reigned for less than ten months in total, bringing great benefits to the country and the people. How much is suitable?
But when it was mentioned, he had to be counted, and that was the problem.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said seriously: "Do you still remember that before you got married, we said that letting you marry someone you like means that you owe us a favor, and you will be asked to pay it back after you get married?"

"Remember, grandson, please give orders to Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looking at him, he felt more and more satisfied. He felt that he had the demeanor of his past, high-spirited, and very brave. "After a while, we will pass on the throne to you. You should be ready to register!"

"Grandfather!"

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback, and quickly dropped the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Grandpa Huang, you can't do this! Grandpa Huang is in good health and vigorous, you can't say such things!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glared at him angrily, and said, "What are you talking about, we don't want to die yet! We just said that I will pass on the throne to you, and it's not that I don't want to live anymore!"

"Uh!"

Zhu Yunxi was at a loss for words, and he didn't say how his health was, "Grandfather, my grandson thinks that you are in good health, and you are in your prime, so you should work hard and work hard to develop. How can...how can... "

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Don't flatter me, can we not know our body? We are 68 years old this year, how many people can live to our age?"

Zhu Yunxi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang raising his hand: "Listen to us first, we haven't rested for so many years. There are so many things in the court and so many crises, which makes people worry. Now I can feel at ease. It's time to rest...

What's more, if you ascend the throne while we are alive, we can still help you on the horse and see you off. If we die, if someone is not convinced by that time, we will have nothing to do. Do you understand? "

Of course Zhu Yunxi understands!

The succession of the new monarch is at a time when people's hearts are unstable, and there must be people who make trouble, and there will definitely be no less temptations!
Take the time when Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne in history, as soon as he became emperor, many taxes owed by the gentry class were exempted, and the village chief system was also damaged to a certain extent.

The reason why the gentry defaulted in paying taxes was to take advantage of the new king's succession and the instability of the court to challenge the imperial power!
