Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 251
Datong.

After doing some appeasement work after the war, Qin Shao and others followed Zhu Houzhao from Yingzhou to Datong.

Dai Wang Zhu Junzhang took his sons Zhu Chongyao and Zhu Chongyu to welcome Zhu Houzhao to live in the Dai Wang Mansion early in the morning.

"It's still comfortable to live in Daiwang's Mansion, coming here is like going to your own home!"

Zhu Houzhao traveled all the way and suffered a lot, and he felt a little relieved when he arrived at Daiwang's Mansion.

You can sleep on a soft bed and eat delicious food.

"It's good that the emperor lives comfortably. This is his own home. If you need anything, just ask."

Dai Wang Zhu Junzhang said with a smile that he was actually only in his early forties.

But he is the sixth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Houzhao is the eighth grandson, which is twice the difference.

If it's just double, it's okay to call him Uncle Wang, but if it's twice as bad, it's a bit difficult to call it.

Simply call him Daiwang.

Compared with other emperors' suspicion of the vassal king, he was worried that there would be problems if the vassal king became bigger.

Zhu Houzhao's situation is actually quite the opposite. He really wants to get the support of the vassal kings, especially these vassal kings are descendants of his own Zhu family, which can be said to be his own family.

When facing the acting king, he was naturally kind.

As for Dai Wang, although the vassal king has been pampered in name for so many years, in fact, his life is not as good as every year.

Even in the face of those officials with some power, they had to make a gesture of flattery, and life was considered aggrieved.

Now that the emperor is so kind and concerned about their lives, he is naturally a little excited.

Moreover, the emperor also promulgated a policy that the children of the clan can take scientific examinations, and Zhu Junzhang seems to have seen a little hope.

"Your majesty, you allow the children of the clan to take part in the scientific examination. Our generation of kings are very supportive. We even set up a private school, and specially asked the master to teach the children of our clan to study for free, and there will be rewards for those who pass the exam. Many people Enthusiasm is running high.”

Zhu Junzhang said.

"Well, you did a good job! Our Zhu family's children are already excellent, and we should have done things for the court and made contributions! When I return to Beijing, I will reward you and let the other clans set an example for you!"

Zhu Houzhao was very happy.

"Your Majesty, I... I also have advice!"

A hesitant voice sounded.

"Yao'er, no...don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Junzhang said nervously.

The one who spoke was Zhu Yunyao, Zhu Junzhang's eldest son, a young man in his early twenties, but he was tall and strong, and it seemed that he should practice kung fu.

"Oh? If your son has anything to say, just say it. I have already said that we are all descendants of the Zhu family, and we can be regarded as our own family members, but it doesn't matter."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Yunyao with some interest and said.

This Zhu Yunyao was different from the white and fat ones he had seen of many vassal princes and relatives. He was strong and dark, but he looked like a military general, which made him feel good about him.

Although Zhu Houzhao is of medium height and not a strong figure, he is a martial artist and likes people who know kung fu and are tall and strong.

Jiang Bin, Qian Ning, Zhang Yong and others who are highly regarded by him are all very skilled.

Even the internal officials in the palace, such as Zhang Yong, etc., regardless of whether they are internal officials, they all have some skills.

Not to mention Jiang Bin, who was originally a military officer, was skilled and brave.

"Your Majesty, my father didn't let me speak because I was worried that we are a vassal and shouldn't be involved in government affairs. I was worried that if I said too much, it would make people suspicious and have bad intentions. However, I think I am a descendant of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. , I have a loyal heart towards Daming, as long as they are the descendants of the Zhu family, they will naturally not see foreign races invading our territory, all the men of the Ming Dynasty have the heart to drive out the Tartars, let alone our descendants of the Zhu family!"

Zhu Yunyao said impassionedly.

"Yao'er!"

Zhu Junzhang shouted with some worry.

His elder son has been brave since he was a child, and he doesn't like to eat and wait to die all day long, and he speaks more directly. He is really worried that this kid will say something that will make the emperor care. Is it on the grill?

"Hahaha! Well said! Well said! Dai Wang, you are getting old, have you lost your ambition? My Ming Dynasty has such a territory, and it was the Taizu who won the world immediately. If my descendants of the Zhu family are all comfortable and greedy How can people who are afraid of death guard this Great Ming Dynasty?"

"My son, if you have any thoughts, just say it! I will never have other thoughts, just speak up!"

Zhu Houzhao said directly.

Zhu Yunyao's face was joyful.

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether I'm right or wrong. Anyway, I think this world belongs to our descendants of the Zhu family. No matter what happened in the past, if there is a problem with my Ming Dynasty and I am bullied by outsiders, I believe that all the descendants of the Ming Dynasty are willing to go forward bravely." To maintain this country, after all, we are related to rest!"

"To tell you the truth, the Tatars have repeatedly harassed and attacked Datong. They don't pay attention to our Ming soldiers and civilians. It's like passing through no one's land. Every time I see it, I feel heartbroken. I really want to go to the battlefield and fight those people to the death. Yes, this life is not in vain! It’s just my identity, I’m said to be on the battlefield, even if I come out of this Great Harmony, I will..."

"Your Majesty, I believe that I am definitely not the only one in the clan who thinks like me! Not all the descendants of my Ming clan are the ones who will eat and wait to die! They also have the heart to shed blood and fight on the battlefield!"

"The emperor made a policy to allow the clan's children to participate in the scientific examination. I used to sleep all night, and I wanted to participate, but I am not good at reading, and I don't want to be a civil servant! What I want is to fight on the battlefield and defend the frontier of the Ming Dynasty! So, I What I want to say today is, since the emperor allows the clan's children to participate in the Wenju, why doesn't he set up the martial arts, so that the clan's children can also serve the court?"

"I know that civil servants have indeed made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, but if the territory of the Ming Dynasty cannot be defended and there are no generals, how can it be stable? This is my idea, and I will tell the emperor today. Of course, I know this is just my humble opinion, just as The king father said the same thing, it may be a little whimsical! I hope the emperor will not forgive me, this is just my own idea!"

After Zhu Yunyao finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhu Houzhao to salute.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Everyone's face is different.

"it is good!"

After a while, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table hard.

The plate on the table made a clanging sound and was almost knocked to the ground.

Everyone couldn't help shivering.

"Okay! I didn't expect my clan of the Ming Dynasty to have an ambitious and far-sighted idea! It's not in vain... It's not in vain that I worked hard to come out! My son, as long as you have this heart, as long as I can live for a day, I will definitely help you realize this idea It is also my dream to reopen the martial arts and carry forward the great Ming martial arts!"

"I always thought that I was the only one walking this road alone. I don't want... I don't want there to be people today..."

Zhu Houzhao was a little excited, and his eyes were a little moist. He looked up and forced tears into his eyes.

"emperor?"

Zhu Junzhang and his son looked at Zhu Houzhao worriedly.

"Don't worry, since you care so much about me, Daming, you must be aware of the problems I'm currently facing. It will be very difficult for me to come out with this matter! But with the help of the clan, I believe that our plan will be successful in the future."

Zhu Houzhao calmed down and said.

"Your Majesty, is it... Is there someone in the court making things difficult for you?"

Zhu Junzhang looked at Zhu Houzhao worriedly, and then hesitated to ask after a while.
