Daming heir

The palace now is much more lively than in the past.

As the princes of the clan arrived in Beijing one after another in the past few years, they studied at the main hall. As they grew older, the clan government also successively selected marriage candidates for them, and they got married one by one.

It is precisely because of this that the royal family has grown rapidly in the past two years.

This is very busy for the ladies in the palace.

In the past, as the princes gradually came of age and left the capital one after another to join the feudal clan, the palace was quiet and unpopular for a long time.

Although these emperor's concubines lived a prosperous and carefree life all day long, their days were boring.

Last year, the grandson's family had a new baby, which made the ladies in the palace extremely happy. The hearts that had been silent for so many years suddenly became hot again.

The ladies were so happy that they stuffed the emotions and things they had accumulated over the years into the arms of Zhu Wensheng and Zhu Fuling.

Teasing two little people every day can make ladies wake up laughing when they fall asleep at night.

but.

Good times are not long.

As one prince after another had children in his family, the emperor's great-grandchildren were sent to the palace one after another.

The ladies couldn't sit still.

This is a declarative sentence.

There is no time for the ladies to sit down now. They have to chase the emperor's great-grandson and the emperor's great-granddaughter all day long, which is enough to keep their feet from touching the ground.

Zhu Biao enjoyed it very much.

Anyway, their family follows the principle that raising children relies on women and educating children depends on men.

How these children are raised depends on the women of Lao Zhu's family. As for what will happen to these children when they grow up, it depends on the abilities of the men.

I can enjoy it for at least ten more years. When these kids grow up, they will be thrown into the main hall first, and then I can play.

Zhu Biao thought happily, not having much feelings about the major case that was being initiated by him outside the palace.

He was lying on a rocking chair in the corridor of the palace, with two beautiful palace ladies beside him carefully serving the prince.

One puts food in the prince's mouth, and the other presses the prince's shoulders from behind.

I don’t know which queen’s palace this is from.

From the corner of his eye, Zhu Biao looked at the two palace maids with drawn eyes, and felt that he had to give some warning when he turned around.

The palace is very busy now. These men and women, both male and female, should not think about random things all day long.

Thinking about things, Zhu Biao was already a little sleepy.

Just as the vision in front of him gradually closed.

A pair of greasy little hands grabbed Zhu Biao's face.

Nose full of the smell of roasted pig's trotters!
  "Zhu Huan."

The prince roared, his face full of anger.

He had always loved cleanliness, and although it wasn't a habit, he couldn't stand the oil stains on his face now.

Zhu Huang, who was shaken by his brother's roar, quickly put his hands away and put them behind his back, staring with round eyes, and a pitiful look gradually appeared on his face.

"Twenty-three, I haven't seen the prince brother for a long time..."

This trick is the most effective and can be said to be invincible.

As soon as you use this trick, I will definitely become soft-hearted.

really.

Just as Zhu Huang guessed.

When he said these words matching the expression on his face, the anger on Zhu Biao's face was instantly wiped away.

Instructing the maid next to him to clean his face, Zhu Biao tilted his head and looked at Zhu Huan: "I also shaved off his two pig trotters."

Another maid took out a wet handkerchief with a smile on her face, squatted on the ground and wiped the twenty-third prince's hands.

Zhu Biao glared at Xiao Twenty-san again at this time: "But you skipped class in the main hall again? Be careful that Mr. Sir will punish you when the time comes. If Mr. punishes you, even I can't intercede for you."

Zhu Huang moved his mouth and said: "To reply to the prince brother, I am now a good boy. Someone else provoked my husband today, and he was so angry that he was holding someone else's endorsement alone."

"Oh?" Zhu Biao's face showed curiosity: "Who provoked sir today."

At this moment, Zhu Biao felt some sympathy for Fang Xiaoru.

This man is a learned man. If his mouth that keeps shouting about respecting the ancients all day long is blocked, it will probably be perfect enough.

However, the main hall does not need to teach anything else. It is enough to make these clan disciples literate and understand the teachings of saints and sages.

After all, after becoming the main hall, these clan members will still have to go to the martial arts hall to study.

Then is the place where the values ​​of life are truly established for these clan members.

Zhu Huang blinked and said in a low voice: "It's from the third uncle's family. I made my husband unhappy today."

That Zhu Jixi from the third family?
  According to Zhu Biao's understanding, the eldest son of the third family is usually the most upright and decent, and his behavior is quite elegant.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but wonder: "Why did he make Mr. Fang unhappy today?"

At this time, Zhu Huang had already quietly reached out to get what his brother had eaten. When he heard his brother's question, he quickly stuffed the food into his mouth.

Finally, with his bulging mouth, he hummed: "Sir, today I said that we must observe order, put etiquette and law first when doing things, do not be paranoid in governance, and be benevolent and righteous. In the country, there will be more kingly ways and less tyranny.

Brother Xi refuted Mr. Xi at that time. He said that if we have followed the rules in governing since ancient times, we will just repeat the same mistakes. If he is a political party, he must imitate the current Hongwu New Deal, implement policies that benefit the people, and eliminate shortcomings. "

Zhu Biao nodded: "Sir, when you teach you, you must teach the way of benevolence and righteousness. This is your duty. Brother Xi said it like that, which is even more correct. I think he has actually read the imperial manuscripts. Fang Sir, I'm not usually a very harsh person, so why did you punish me alone today?"

Zhu Huang curled his lips and said, "Brother Xi later said that since ancient times, innovations often ended in failure because of mediation. He told his husband that if he implemented reforms, he would definitely kill a few of the leaders first with heavy penalties. No matter how you scare those who agree with you, how can you make a revolution without bloodshed?"

Little Twenty-Three muttered an explanation.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at the prince: "By the way, the last sentence was said by brother Xi, not me. I feel that it is not good to fight and kill all day long, and think of ways to do it." The food is not good..."

The little kid was a little confused, but his eyes kept turning, searching for new food in the palace garden.

Zhu Biao laughed slightly and reached out to pat Zhu Huang on the head.

"Go ahead, ladies and gentlemen, there are some cakes that we just bought from outside the palace this morning. Go and eat some."

Zhu Huang immediately smiled and was about to spread his legs, but Zhu Biao pinched the back of his neck.

Zhu Biao glared at Little Twenty-Three and warned: "After you have eaten and drank enough, help the ladies to bring your grandnephews and grandnephews. Although Little Twenty-Three has not grown up yet, he is also an elder." , you must have the stability of your elders.”

"Ok!"

Zhu Huang's eyes widened and he nodded heavily.

At this time, he didn't even move and ran away. Instead, he put his hands on his belt, held his head high, and took the official steps that only Mr. and Brother would use. He walked steadily and steadily.

Looking at the little guy's appearance, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He somewhat recalled twenty years ago.

At that time, my brothers had not grown up yet, and all of them were still studying in Beijing Middle School, or studying in their hometown in Fengyang. At that time, the court was not as well-organized as it is now. The country had just been established, and hundreds of industries were waiting to be prospered. People's livelihood had to be done, and officials had to be managed. Everything was difficult.

But I was very happy at that time.

I always feel that one day all the problems of the Ming Dynasty will be solved.

Today, many problems that seemed impossible at the time have been solved.

But I can't be happy anymore.

The country is getting better and better, and the people are getting richer and richer, but there are more and more problems, and the contradictions are becoming more and more serious.

Brother Xi from the third family is right.

Since ancient times, innovations have often involved mediation, resulting in leather systems often ending in failure.

The battle for innovation in the Ming Dynasty had to be bloody.

Only bloodshed can make people remember what will happen to those who oppose it.

“How can innovation be without bloodshed?”

Zhu Biao whispered what Zhu Jixi said to Fang Xiaoru, and couldn't help but smile again.

He thought that at Zhu Jixi's age, it was time for him to do something in the capital.

Think of this.

Zhu Biao's sight was once again blocked by a dark, resentful face.

It’s the second eldest child, Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Ping was wearing ordinary clothes at the moment. There was some dust on them, as if he had just come back from outside.

The resentment on his face seemed to make a sound.

Zhu Biao was frightened by this ugly face and couldn't help but shrink back.

"Why did you come back?"

According to the agenda, Zhu Xi should be on errands in the Xiangyang, Hanzhong, and Xi'an areas at this time, and should not be blocking his way in Beijing.

Zhu Xi was a little bored. He looked at the large group of chattering ladies and dolls in front of him. He turned his head to look at the two palace maids in front of him, frowned and waved his hand.

"Everyone, get down! Everyone, get down! I want to talk to the prince."

The maids quickly withdrew, not even putting aside the work at hand.

The private comments about Prince Qin in the palace over the past two years have been terrifying. Everyone said that Prince Qin's name was now out there and could stop children from crying.

If a family is plagued by evil spirits and the family is uneasy, as long as a colorful portrait of Prince Qin is posted on the front door, everything will be fine within two or three days.

There are many sayings.

But overall, Prince Qin is scary.

Seeing the palace maid's fear of Zhu Ping, Zhu Biao couldn't help but snorted.

"You have been so murderous all day long, so be careful and accumulate some evil virtue. No matter how many people you kill, you still have to smile on your face. Do you want everyone to know that you are murderous?"

Zhu Xi still curled his lips and sat down on the ground.

He said indifferently: "It's better to make people afraid of me. I'm a prince. If I smile all day long, is it because I go to those people's homes to have dinner as a guest?"

Zhu Biao hummed: "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I just want to do things later and don't make so much noise. I've heard from people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that you can bring people to the door in the middle of the night and give people to the whole family. Convicted and beheaded. If you kill a whole family in the middle of the night, then hundreds of families will not be able to sleep peacefully for a whole night."

Zhu Ming sat on the ground and looked at the prince sideways.

He mumbled and said: "When I first came back, why did I hear that you, brother, were going to handle a big case and carry out a big prison sentence in Zhili? I also heard that the current case might involve tens of thousands of people?"

Zhu Biao turned his head and glanced at Lao Er lightly: "Oh? Is this why you came back?"

Zhu Xiang shook his head immediately.

"You don't dare. I live so far away in Hanzhong. How can I know what you are doing, brother?"

Zhu Biao just hummed twice and turned to look at the crowd in the courtyard: "Tell me, why are you coming back this time?"

Zhu Xi put his hands on the ground, moved closer, and whispered: "I just want to ask if I can go back to the palace when I go back to Xi'an for business."

Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Lao Er.

Zhu Fang immediately raised his hands: "Brother, you don't know, I have passed by Xi'an Mansion several times on errands in the past two years, but I never came home once. Even in ancient times, Dayu's flood control was only done three times. My brother, I have not entered my home more than three times."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi couldn't help but look at Zhu Biao with his little eyes, as if he really wanted to go back to the palace when he was doing business in Xi'an.

Zhu Biao just patted the armrest with his palm: "Is this all you want?"

"Isn't it?" Zhu Ming raised his head and said: "Good brother, besides working as an errand outside, I am also serving the ancestors in the Ancestral Temple. But my brother is also a human being. Those bastards below spend all day getting some beauties to give away. When I went to my brother's bed, I sent him back as he was. Brother, you know..."

Zhu Biao didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Xi silently.

After a while, just when Zhu Xiang's back began to feel numb, Zhu Biao suddenly stretched out his hand.

with a snap.

A crisp sound came from Zhu Xi's forehead.

Zhu Biao glared: "Tell the truth! If you don't behave honestly, go and kneel in front of your mother!"

Since ancient times, elder brother is like father.

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of civil and military officials who were busy conquering the country. Empress Ma and the boss were in charge of the affairs in this family.

Just like what Zhu Biao is doing now, Queen Ma only wants to raise these children well and watch from a distance to ensure that these children do not go astray.

For the rest, Zhu Biao is in charge of these younger brothers.

A smile gradually appeared on Zhu Xi's face, and he approached Zhu Biao again.

"Actually, I was going back to see if I could find the old man. Later I heard that the old man was in the southwest, so I checked several places on the road back to Beijing again.

After checking and checking, we found that we were already outside the capital. Just as he was about to turn around and walk back, he heard someone saying that his brother was going to start a big case and bring a big prison, so he hurriedly entered the city and the palace. "

This makes sense.

The imperial court now often does things to look back on when it comes to the New Deal, in order to prevent local officials from deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from others.

Zhu Biao's expression softened a little: "The imperial court had several major cases in the past few years, but now they just follow the orders. Are you going to cry out for injustice for these people?"

He did know that the second child could not plead for the injustice of those below.

Zhu Feng chuckled: "My brother is thinking that if you want to start a big case and set up a big prison, there will definitely be rivers of blood and thousands of people will be involved.

Others can't do this well, and they don't do it solidly, but I have experience, so why not leave this matter to my brother.

Whoever displeases you, brother, as long as someone gives you a name, my brother will kill him and his whole family. "
