I want to be a grandson

Chapter 489
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished their meal, they sat together and talked. Qingtong brought hot tea for the two of them, and then waited on them.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It is not suitable for you to live in the East Palace after you ascend the throne. Let's move to the West Fifth Institute, where it is quiet."

The West Five Institutes are located in the northwest corner of the imperial palace. The East and West Five Institutes are five north-south palace courtyards, each with three main halls and four side halls.

This was originally the place where the underage princes and grandchildren lived.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually wants to move there, and he will definitely bring the concubines, princesses, and princes of the harem with him. This is to make room for himself...

"How about Grandpa Huang! The West Fifth Institute only has five palaces, and there are so many grandchildren, aunts and uncles, it's too crowded to live there. If someone else finds out, they may not know how to organize grandchildren!
Besides, Grandpa Huang, you are simply too emperor, and Daming is still pointing at you, grandson dare not let you be wronged! "

"The West Fifth Institute is also pretty good. Each has three main halls, four side halls, and 35 halls. Compared to when we didn't even have a place to cover ourselves, it's just an extravagant hope. There's nothing wrong with it!
You don't want to put a high hat on us, since you have become the emperor, from now on you will be the lord of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the people, and the military and state affairs will naturally be decided by you, what does this have to do with us?
Let me warn you, don't bother us with those annoying things in the future, we still want to spoil our grandchildren, and live a peaceful and comfortable life for two years! "

"Grandpa Huang, you can't just let it go. There are so many things in Ming Dynasty that are so intricate, and my grandson doesn't know how to deal with them. I still have to invite Grandpa Huang to sit in the center so that my grandson can handle it well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked impatient, and said: "Don't talk nonsense with us, since we have become the Supreme Emperor, we just want to take a break, if you bother us again, what is the difference between that and not abdicating?
Let the people in the palace pack up tomorrow, let's move to the West Fifth Institute, so we can hide away from you! "

Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandpa, in fact, it's quite good for my grandson to live in the East Palace, and I'm used to living there. If I move to another place, I won't be used to it..."

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has abdicated, he will definitely not live in Qianqing Palace again, no matter what Zhu Yunxi says.

Finally, under Zhu Yunxi's insistence, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to live in the Dashan Hall.

Behind Wuying Hall are Rouyi Hall and Fengxian Hall, followed by Dashan Hall, followed by Wangjiang Tower and Nine Five Flying Dragon Hall, all of which belong to the building complex of Dashan Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines and underage children lived in Xigong and Xiwu.

The Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace located in the middle of the harem, as well as the East Sixth Palace and Northeast Five Institutes to the east are Zhu Yunxi's places.

Such a distribution still respects Zhu Yuanzhang's status, but it also shows the filial piety in the heart of the new king.

Zhu Yuanzhang never procrastinates in doing things, he really does what he says!
The palace was busy the next day, all the concubines in the harem moved to live in the West Palace, and he himself moved to the Dashan Palace.

After Zhu Yunxi succeeded to the throne, the celebration of the canonization of the queen began.

Compared with the canonization of concubines, the canonization of the queen is much more grand.

After the canonized document is issued, the Ministry of Rites must undertake the system, select an auspicious day, and inform all departments to make various preparations.

Then, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry will jointly make book treasures, and engrave book texts and treasure texts.At that time, the Ministry of Rites will request and order a bachelor and a minister to be fully registered as deputy envoys.

All the kings, civil and military officials should put on their faces to celebrate the ceremony, and the emperor should also issue an edict to announce it to the world.

Because Zhu Yunxi's enthronement hall was chosen on the winter solstice day, and then the queen's canonization ceremony will be held after busy work, and the time has come to the end of the year.

At this time in Wei Guogong's mansion, Xu Huizu was talking with his younger brother Xu Zengshou in the study.

Because his younger sister became a queen, Duke Wei's mansion has also risen with the tide. Three sisters from one family have all married into the royal family. Is there anything more enviable than their family?
If it is placed in other people's homes, at this time there must be loud gongs, drums and firecrackers, and a big banquet will be held to entertain guests and friends.

But Wei Guogong's mansion is quiet at this time, not only is there not much festive color, even the atmosphere of the New Year is much lighter than in previous years!
Xu Huizu sat on a chair and asked: "How have you been in Yunnan these years? I heard that you have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. The Ministry of War is going to ask for a promotion for you."

At this time, Xu Zengshou was no longer as energetic as he was a few years ago. Looking at the ordinary clothes on his body, it could not be seen that he was from a wealthy family.

The palms have also become rough, with thick calluses, the complexion is no longer fair, but a bit bronze, and the body has become stronger.

There is a scar on the left cheek, and the whole person looks much more mature and calm.

Xu Zengshou replied: "Brother, I participated in two anti-insurgency operations in Yunnan. Because I was the first to fight, I made a little contribution. This is not a great contribution.
I'm afraid the Ministry of War asked for merit because of the empress's face, so I took care of my younger brother..."

There is an unwritten rule that the royal family will take care of the natal families of concubines in the harem.

For example, Zhu Gaochi's sincere filial piety Empress Zhang in history, when he became the concubine of King Yan, his father was awarded the deputy commander of soldiers and horses,

After the Battle of Jingnan, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi was canonized as the crown prince, and her father was promoted to the commander of Jingwei, and died soon after.

After Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he gave it to the Marquis of Pengcheng.

This is how one person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven.
Xu Huizu is very satisfied with Xu Zengshou's sobriety, "My sister has become a queen, the palace must be kind to our family, but...

Just based on your merits, it is indeed enough to be promoted to an official position. What do you think about this matter? "

Xu Zengshou sat on a chair and said, "Awards are one thing, but the Ministry of War will definitely surpass my younger brother's credits. My younger brother is also a seven-foot man, and he should get the honor immediately, so I am going to resign."

Xu Huizu nodded and didn't say much. He naturally agreed with his younger brother's approach.

But in his heart, he felt a little ashamed.

For the favor of the royal family, it is enough for others to accept it with gratitude.

But Duke Wei's mansion is different.

Three sisters from one family, two feudal princes and concubines, one current empress, plus the fact that my own family is a top-notch noble, such an honor is too scary!

If he doesn't know how to be cautious, doesn't know how to act in a low-key manner, and instead makes a big show, Xu Huizu really has no confidence in the future of his family...

The sky can send down rain, dew, and rain, and it can also send down the wrath of thunder!

The more honored you are, the more you are in a high position, the more attention you have, the more cautious you are!

That's why Xu Huizu didn't let his family celebrate.

But the credit was indeed made by his younger brother's life. Although he didn't say much, he knew Xu Zengshou's actions in Yunnan.

That's the credit for charging forward and fighting with their lives!

Who would be happy to just lose it for nothing?
Coupled with the favor of the imperial court, there is no rebuttal...

On the one hand, Xu Huizu felt that there could be no more royal grace, and it was a good thing not to accept it. At least it would make people feel that Wei Guogong's mansion was sensible, humble and low-key.

But for my younger brother, that would be unfair...

As the eldest son, he has already obtained the title and status of "Wei Guogong", which is difficult for others to achieve in his lifetime.
But as for my younger brother, this is not fair in the first place.

Now I still have merit but can't be promoted...

Sighing in his heart, Xu Huizu said: "After the new year, I will ask the imperial court for orders. I feel unwell recently and my limbs are heavy. Please allow me to take care of my body at home..."

Xu Zengshou didn't say anything, he knew that his elder brother did this, one was to express that he was also willing not to be favored, in order to make himself feel better.

Secondly, it also shows the humble attitude of Duke Wei.

"You should stay in the capital after the Chinese New Year. I'll tell the people in the Ministry of War that you haven't been at home for the past few years, so it's time to come back."

But Xu Zengshou said, "Brother, you don't need to be like this. I have battles to fight and things to do in Yunnan. My life will be much more fulfilling once I live in the capital. Besides, I'm not good at studying. If I come back, I'm afraid I'll grow up again in a few years." Dude."

Xu Huizu didn't insist any more, but warned: "Even if it's a war, you don't have to rush to the front every time. You are also a general in the army. It is true that taking the lead can boost morale, but if something goes wrong,... the morale of the army will also be lost." Will be hit, not conducive to continued combat..."

"I understand, thank you brother..."

The two chatted for a while before Xu Zengshou left.

Standing at the door of the study, watching the back of his younger brother leaving, Xu Huizu sighed and could only shake his head helplessly...

After a while, someone called the housekeeper and said, "From today on, close the gate, and thank guests at Duke Wei's mansion behind closed doors."

The butler was taken aback, and quickly said: "Master, it's the Chinese New Year soon, many relatives and old relatives will come to visit, and the mansion will also send a congratulatory gift, even if everyone else is turned away, those who are close will still there are many……"

People of all levels have relatives and friends of their own level.

If Wei Guogong's mansion does this, it will offend people!
And it will offend a lot of people!

Even if others don't say anything, there will be pimples in their hearts!
Why, if you become a relative of the emperor, you don't need relatives and friends?
Xu Huizu frowned, and said displeasedly: "Tell them in advance that they don't need to come, and the mansion will not send anyone this year, please Haihan... Do as I say!"

The housekeeper was taken aback, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, listen to the master..."

In the Founding Duke Chang's house, because his nephew became the emperor, there were so many rewards in the palace that filled the whole room.

Chang Sen opened a box, looked at the valuable treasures, carefully took them out and put them in his hands to play with.

Then he opened the other boxes and held a small porcelain bottle in his hand, watching and admiring it non-stop.

"Tsk tsk tsk, things in the palace are different. This craftsmanship, this heat, this craftsmanship, is really amazing! Ordinary people can't say it's so good! It's worthy of being used by the royal family. If this is brought to the market..."

Thinking of this, Chang Sen almost burst into tears!

How much is this worth!
