Daming heir

A black face suddenly appeared.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but be shocked.

When he looked closely, he saw that his amiable second uncle, who doted on his younger generation, was staring at him with a bright smile on his face and piercing eyes, without any sway.

Zhu Yunxi immediately moved to the other side and immediately raised his fists.

Nod.

bow.

Bend over.

Zhu Yunxi, who kept in mind that he was a junior, spoke in an extremely respectful tone: "It's my second uncle who is here. My nephew paid homage to my second uncle and paid my respects to him."

Without waiting for Zhu Xi to raise his hand.

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly continued: "This time the Northern Expedition army defeated the Tatar royal court and gained a lot. The people below presented many Tatar treasures to my nephew, including a seven-treasure gold sword, which was inlaid with various gems. It is transparent, bright and dazzling. The blade is made of hundreds of refined steel and can break hair when blown."

While introducing the things he brought back, Zhu Yunxi carefully moved his steps again and retreated a little closer to the palace door.

He continued: "As soon as my nephew got the sword, he felt that it should go to the second uncle. As the saying goes, a sword goes with a hero, and the second uncle is a rare hero of our Ming Dynasty. .Second uncle, please be patient. Later, my nephew will have the sword delivered."

The skin and flesh on Zhu Xi's face were already squeezed together, and he stretched out his raised palm and slowly grasped it.

Zhu Yunxi tensed up and felt a crisp joint sound coming from his ears.

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"What a nephew!"

Zhu Xi clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles on his face were tense.

That was what he was saying through gritted teeth.

"I don't know if that sword is sharp enough to cut someone's neck?"

Zhu Xi continued to speak with a face full of flesh, gritted his teeth, and took two steps toward Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi felt the back of his neck getting cold for no reason.

It felt like a cool breeze was blowing on the back of his head.

He stretched out his feet again and groped towards the door of the palace. His hands were slightly bent and stretched in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Of course it is sharp. When I turn around and go to the place with the knife, I won't see anyone who doesn't like it." It's just a matter of one knife. I will make sure that those thieves never come back and regret that they dared to disobey my second uncle's royal order!"

Zhu Yunxi also gritted his teeth, seemingly speaking in unison with Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xiang sneered twice: "Of course there are such thieves. I have already disliked many people when I looked at them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi coldly.

Zhu Yunxi felt that he must offer more sticks of incense to the ancestors in this hall later, just hoping that he could live a peaceful life from now on.

"When the time comes, my nephew will definitely work with his second uncle to make those thieves who don't like him know how sharp the knife is and how red the flowers are."

Zhu Yunxi took another step back and had already stepped out of the palace gate with one leg.

Zhu Xi stepped forward again, his expression unchanged, and he stretched out his hand.

Snapped.

The slap of Prince Qin of the Ming Dynasty fell steadily and gently on the shoulder of the grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi trembled.

I was almost scared to death by my second uncle.

"Second uncle, my nephew still has to offer incense to his ancestors, and later he has to go to the palace to say hello to the old man..."

last resort.

no way.

Zhu Yunxi could only carry out the old man and the ancestors of the old Zhu family to suppress the second uncle.

However, Zhu Ming sneered again and again: "Don't worry, today is a good day, and there are still preparations in the palace. I will also offer incense to the ancestors with you later, and I think the ancestors are not afraid of our uncle and nephew delaying like this. It’ll take a while.”

Unbearable!

Zhu Yunxi really couldn't stand it anymore.

His other foot has also jumped out of the temple.

"Second uncle, my nephew has never done anything harmful to you. To Brother Bing, he is also a brother and sister, treating each other with sincerity and sharing weal and woe. You must not...don't scare your nephew."

While Zhu Yunxi was talking, his eyes were looking around.

damn it.

None of the bastards who were guarding the Ancestral Temple were missing.

Zhu Fang put down his hands and put them behind his back: "My brother Bing, were you forced to stay outside the customs? Was he bombarded with artillery all day long? Or was he bombarded close to his scalp?"

"This is all done by Uncle Four!"

Zhu Yunxi shouted immediately, then closed his mouth and frowned.

He wondered how the second uncle, who probably returned to Beijing recently, knew so much about things outside the customs.

After he returned to Beijing, he should not have always lived in this Ancestral Temple unless the old man asked him to go out to do something.

Live in Taimiao Temple!

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi reacted, and then felt a burst of regret.

I knew clearly that my second uncle had settled in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, so why didn't he bring a few more people here before?

He hurriedly explained: "My fourth uncle said that we need to develop some new tactics to deal with future wars in our Ming Dynasty. The artillery and infantry coordination, as well as the firearms battalion's Xu Jin suppression, were all decided by my fourth uncle."

Zhu Yunxi strictly abided by the attitude and principles of seeking truth from facts and continued: "My fourth uncle also said that Brother Bing and Jizu are my clan members and meritorious descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and they will lead the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty in the future. , who went on an expedition outside the borders.

If you don’t practice hard at this time, how can you accomplish great things in the future?

Second uncle, you also know that fourth uncle has always been up to date on military matters. Even if my nephew wants to bring Brother Bing back and reunite with you, he doesn't dare to ask for someone from fourth uncle.

Besides, everyone from the Chang family, Xu family, and Tang family are all under the fourth uncle, including several brothers from the uncle's family of the King of Jin.

If my nephew comes back with Brother Bing, what will they say and what will they think of Brother Bing?

Are you saying that the eldest son of the second uncle's family is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death and runs away from battle? "

Zhu Ming turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a frown: "Is this really what the fourth brother did? Didn't you instruct him to do it?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his hands and said sincerely: "My nephew, everything is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to Xinguan and ask Brother Bing."

I would never say that the reason why Zhu Shangbing was under the control of his fourth uncle was because he asked him to take his people to leave Daqing City and go outside the pass to prevent the Eastern Route Army from intercepting the Tatar Royal Court. This was how Brother Bing fell into the trap. It was in the hands of my fourth uncle.

Zhu Ping hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe what Zhu Yunxi said for the time being.

Then, he stepped out of the palace door and stretched out his hand towards Zhu Yunxi again, hugging Zhu Yunxi's neck, bursts of laughter appeared in his mouth: "Is the knife you just mentioned real?"

As he spoke, Zhu Xi took Zhu Yunxi into the hall again.

"Let me just say, our Brother Xi is not that kind of person."

"You will ask someone to bring the knife over later. Second Uncle, I have to get familiar with it, otherwise it will take time to get it right."

It was temporarily confirmed that Zhu Yunxi was still innocent, and Zhu Ping returned to his former appearance.

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head: "Second uncle won't go to the palace?"

Zhu Xi curled his lips and said dullly: "I'm almost going to become the abbot of this temple. If I don't go, I won't go. Your grandpa will be scolded again when he sees my second uncle and me."

After speaking, Zhu Xi walked to the confessional and took three sticks of incense each for himself and Zhu Yunxi.

His expression was very pious, and he looked at the altar on the altar with an unchanging expression, solemn and respectful. "Ancestors, please protect my second son and avoid being punished by my old man in the future. I will burn more incense and paper money for you later. As descendants, we must not let our ancestors be short of money down here."

Zhu Ming silently drew cakes for the ancestors of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunxi stopped making any sound, lit the incense silently, inserted it into the incense burner respectfully, then knelt down on the futon in front of the altar, bowed three times and kowtowed, and felt enlightened in his heart. Prayers for peace and prosperity.

Inhaled the incense.

Zhu Yunxi slowly stood up.

Only then did I realize that Zhu Xi had already walked out of the palace gate and was standing in the corridor outside.

He silently walked to Zhu Xiang's side.

"Second uncle, is something bothering you?"

Zhu Ping stared ahead quietly. It was already late and the surroundings were very dim.

He said in a low voice: "Who in the world is not worried? Even the girls who make money lying in the hook fence have to worry about how many guests will come to Shuiliandong tonight."

original.

Zhu Yunxi also wanted to say something about his second uncle's literary talents, but when he heard what happened later, he realized that his second uncle was still the same and had never changed.

"What about the New Deal?"

Zhu Yunxi asked tentatively.

Zhu Xi turned his head and looked at Zhu Yun in pain. He nodded vigorously and sighed: "It's difficult!"

Zhu Yunxi closed his mouth.

He knew that his second uncle was going to complain to him.

He probably still wants to go back to Shaanxi and stay away from these matters above the court.

"Second uncle has been in the capital for the past two years. First, he worked on allocating the land to the land, and later on, he also found out about the father-in-law's land, examined the officials, held the squires accountable, and other matters."

Zhu Feng said in a low voice, which made Zhu Yunxi stunned. It turned out that the second uncle Wang had done so many things?
But Zhu Ping's voice did not stop. He continued: "But in the final analysis, your second uncle has only really done one thing in the past few years."

At this point, Zhu Xi stopped naturally.

He blinked, then his eyes sharpened.

And the palm of Zhu Xiang's right hand also slashed diagonally in front of him.

"kill!"

"Your second uncle has been doing murder in the past few years!"

Zhu Yunxi straightened his expression and clasped his hands in front of him.

Zhu Ming suppressed his voice and said: "There are so many bloody heads that I have lost count for a long time. There are officials, businessmen, and local wealthy squires. My second uncle is lying on the bed now and feels that his nose is It smells like blood."

After he finished speaking, he took a long breath, as if to drive away the foul smell of blood accumulated in his chest.

Innovation kills people.

Either the innovator dies, or the innovator dies.

There is never any possibility of compromise.

What is clear is that the executors of Hongwu’s New Deal are stronger than those being reformed.

Zhu Yunxi didn't ask in detail how many people his second uncle had killed, but the number of taxes receivable in the accounts of the household department had been changing over the years, and sometimes the files had to be updated for verification after a quarter.

He turned his neck and glanced at the Ancestral Temple lit up with countless lanterns.

The emperor can be frugal, but he must remain pious where sacrifices are made to his ancestors.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but said: "Grandpa let the second uncle be in the Ancestral Temple, actually just to wash away the smell of blood on the second uncle's body, and also to suppress the cause and effect."

This is the royal family temple of the Ming Dynasty. There is no place more divine than here.

Zhu Xiang nodded, but said very bachelorly: "You are just trying to make me feel at ease. Every once in a while, your grandfather thought it was enough, so he called me back, saying it was a scolding, but in fact he just didn't want me to get into too much blood."

"Blessed by the ancestors."

This time, Zhu Yunxi turned around and prayed silently to the statues behind the temple door with a piety that he had never seen before.

"Go on, we can't have this meal at home today without you."

Zhu Ming pushed Zhu Yunxi on the back, pushed Zhu Yunxi out of the corridor, and then continued: "Your two little babies were raised well by the old man. This time they will stay in the center with peace of mind when they come back. Guoben, or It’s better to go out and wander around less.”

After saying that, Zhu Xi was about to turn around and walk into the hall.

I still need to talk to my ancestors more.

My condition has worsened recently.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly and shouted: "Second uncle."

Zhu Ming, who had just raised his feet, stopped when he heard the sound and looked at Zhu Yunxi with doubts.

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "After my nephew has finished his recent affairs, he will let his second uncle relax."

Creating a preliminary industrial foundation for the Ming Dynasty should be considered a very easy task.

There is no need to kill people, and there is no need to travel all over the world all day long.

Zhu Yunxi looked at his second uncle standing on the porch in front of the palace with a smile on his face.

Has the ancestor appeared?
wrong.

It was the conscience of this little ancestor who discovered it!
With the surprised expression on Zhu Xi's face, Zhu Yunxi had already walked away.

Ming Dynasty temporarily solved the surrounding enemies and potential enemies, and the domestic Hongwu New Deal also lasted for more than a year.

Just like what my second uncle said.

He has killed many people in the past two years due to various changes in the court.

Killing is a troublesome thing.

The human heart can move.

To innovate one needs to kill.

But then, in order to innovate, we also need to win over a group of people.

The initial industrialization construction prepares for the continuous improvement of Ming's social productivity in the future, so that the power accumulated by the country over the years can be slowly transferred to the private sector.

Ying Tianfu has done very well under the leadership of Zou Xueyu in the past two years.

To some extent, Yingtian Prefecture today has far surpassed Suzhou Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture in terms of handicraft industry.

Such changes are based on the formation of state-controlled primary industries that are used in military and political purposes, with the state as capital.

But it also led to an increase in the income of the people of Yingtian Mansion.

What would a Ming Dynasty look like that started preparing for the Industrial Revolution hundreds of years in advance?
This question suddenly appeared in Zhu Yunxi's mind.

then.

He saw his eyes suddenly light up.

Amidst the lively noise, a chubby meat ball rolled to his feet.

"Aba Aba..."
