The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 209

This is Xuanjiawei's first competition, and Zhu Ying attaches great importance to it.

He wants to select enough officers, and then actually establish a military school.

Only in this way can we continue to strengthen our influence in the army.

For civil servants, Zhu Ying really didn't care that much.

With the military power in hand, in this Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying had the final say.

Everything is based on military power, this is the case in ancient and modern times, and in the future.

When Zhu Ying returned to Kunning Palace, she saw several officials moving things.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue were excitedly directing from the sidelines.

After all, he is the emperor's grandson, so there will be a lot of clothes, including a large number of books and utensils, which have to be brought along.

"Big brother."

Seeing Zhu Ying, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue hurriedly shouted in unison.

"The action is very fast. When you came, did you tell your aunt clearly?" Zhu Ying said with a smile.

He also understands the behavior of the two children.

Perhaps for the two little ones, the days when they lived in the East Palace were like living under a fence.

Although the two children have always grown up in the East Palace.

"Brother, don't worry, we naturally made it clear to my aunt, and my aunt even sent us a lot of things."

Zhu Mingyue's eyes turned into crescent moons.

Originally, she didn't call her Auntie before, but when the words came to her lips, she immediately changed her words.

The arrival of the eldest brother means the rebuilding of the lineage of the eldest son. The Lu family is the crown prince and concubine, theoretically the first mother, but Zhu Ying is the elder brother, so this concept is somewhat conflicting.

The status of a woman is naturally inferior to that of a man, let alone the eldest son.

Although the Lu family is called an elder when facing Zhu Ying, but in terms of status, they are inferior.

"At this time, you haven't started training yet, so you just ran out like this?"

Zhu Ying nodded slightly to Zhu Mingyue, then looked at Zhu Yunxi, and asked in a neither happy nor angry voice.

According to Zhu Ying's requirements for the current palace guards, the drill will end when it is almost dark.

It was almost dusk now, but it was obvious that Zhu Yunxi had skipped class.

"Brother, I."

Hearing the elder brother's question, Zhu Yunxi lost all joy and felt a little at a loss.

"Brother, don't blame the younger brother. I asked the officials to notify the younger brother, and then came here. There are a lot of things to be brought over there. So."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was about to be reprimanded by her elder brother, Zhu Mingyue quickly chimed in.

But what Zhu Mingyue said was also true.

At that time, she went to the East Palace and explained the matter to Mrs. Lu.

Of course, Mrs. Lu had no reason to stop him, but he raised his mouth, saying that Zhu Yunxie's clothes and utensils might not be easy to move now.

Zhu Mingyue hesitated for a while, and then at Lu's suggestion, let the officials notify Zhu Yunxi in the name of eldest brother.

Zhu Ying just glanced at Zhu Mingyue and didn't say much.

To be able to escape from the drill must be under the guise of his own name, otherwise the coaches from Xuanjiawei would not let him go.

"Sit down, I have a lot of things to do recently, and I haven't had a good chat with you. Take this opportunity, let's talk about what's on our minds together."

Zhu Ying was not angry, it was really unnecessary.

No matter how you say it is my own brother, sister, some small mistakes, it doesn't matter.

However, through this incident, Zhu Ying also discovered that Zhu Yunxi was not suitable for commanding troops.

If you have an idea about commanding the troops, even if you get a letter from the officials, you will definitely insist on leaving after the drill is over.

Zhu Yunxie and Zhu Mingyue sat across from their eldest brother, lowering their heads slightly, especially Zhu Yunxie, who was still a little trembling.

He has already realized that it was wrong for him to leave the training team so early.

"Don't be so nervous. I won't blame you for this incident. In the beginning, I didn't plan to arrange to practice, little brother. It's just that grandpa thinks that everyone should practice hard."

"If you don't even know how to lead the soldiers after sealing off the feudal land, it would be too embarrassing for our old Zhu family."

Zhu Ying said.

That's what he said, but Zhu Yunxi was still very ashamed.

In this matter, he has lost face to his elder brother.

"Not everyone is suitable for leading troops to fight. It also depends on one's own thoughts. In this way, my Ming Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. As a big brother, I can't even protect my younger brother, so it is too useless."

"It's like Uncle Fifth. Compared with his elder brothers, he's lacking in both literary and martial arts. But what does it matter?"

"Uncle Wu's greatest interest and talent is in medicine, and he has studied it for a long time. A few days ago, I had an exchange with Uncle Wu, and I was deeply shocked by Uncle Wu's knowledge."

"A few days ago, the Agricultural School was led by Uncle Wu."

Zhu Ying said.

In fact, Zhu Ying has never been like the old man, whether it is for Yunxi or other princes and grandchildren, forcing everyone to do the affairs of the vassal prince well.

Everyone has their own aspirations, just do what they want to do boldly, and it is also good to shine in other industries.

Everyone is working hard, and it will be difficult to manage at that time.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

Grandpa Huang has very strict requirements on all the princes and grandchildren in terms of culture, Taoism and martial arts.

Under the suppression of the emperor's grandfather, all the princes and grandchildren behaved very well-behaved, not daring to be rebellious in the slightest.

So Zhu Yunxi never dared to tell others about his hobbies.

The elder brother's words made Zhu Yunxi immediately feel that the elder brother is the one who understands him best.

but.

He still asked with some doubts: "Uncle Wu studies medicine, what does this have to do with agriculture?"

Zhu Ying explained: "The essence of medicine lies in herbal medicine. Uncle Wu is not so much fond of medicine, but more fond of flowers and plants."

"Rice is also of the same kind, so it is naturally one of Uncle Wu's favorites. How to make flowers and plants grow more luxuriantly is actually the same as the grain yield of rice."

Hearing the elder brother's explanation, Zhu Yunxi nodded thoughtfully.

"Tell me, little brother, what is the thing you want to do most in the future." Zhu Ying asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly: "To tell you the truth, brother, what I want to like the most is carpentry."

After saying this, Zhu Yunxie's mental outlook changed suddenly.

This is the secret he has kept in his heart.

Even his elder sister, Zhu Mingyue, never said anything to her.

He has a strong interest in carpentry. Among his common utensils, there is a carving knife, which is his favorite thing.

He was just living a normal life, he didn't dare to show it, and kept hiding in the wooden box.

Only at night, when no one was around, would he secretly take out the knife to appreciate it.

But I dare not carve or make some wooden utensils.

If the eunuch who was serving knew about this and leaked it out, he would face a severe reprimand from the emperor's grandfather.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying was quite speechless.

There are really many wonderful descendants of the old Zhu's family. The carpenter emperor who loves future generations has long been inherited by Zhu Yunxi.

In the 300-year history of Ming Dynasty.

The emperor has several wonderful things, not to mention the lineage of the vassal king, there will only be more.

The current Zhu Yuanzhang actually suppresses the education of the princes and grandchildren more severely.

Due to too much majesty, this also led to the precocious princes not even daring to have the slightest idea of ​​rebellion.

So no matter the prince, after the feudal clan, most of them will let themselves go.

For example, among the ten princes who are about to enter the feudal domain, except for Zhu Quan, all of them are No. 1 in violation of law and discipline, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty that they usually learn are simply forgotten.

As a vassal king, the first thing was to break the law and discipline, local officials appealed a lot, and then Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded them one by one, and he was just honest for a while.

"Okay, if you like carpentry, you can do carpentry, but if you like it, you have to really like it. From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to participate in the drill."

"Let me tell Grandpa Huang that you can go to the Gunpowder Department. Matchlock guns are really being developed there. It's because there are so many carpenters. Go and have a look yourself. If you really like it, Big Brother won't stop you. "

After Zhu Ying pondered for a while, she spoke.

He was not sure to what extent Zhu Yunxi liked it, whether he was really obsessed with it like the later carpenter emperor, or just curious and new.

For this, let him really get in touch with it. If he really likes it, it’s fine. It’s not bad to pursue his own dreams. Besides, carpentry is still very beneficial to Daming’s development.

If it's just fresh and curious, when the momentum passes, it will naturally come back.

"Brother, this is really possible." Zhu Yunxi still couldn't believe it.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Why, even the eldest brother still doesn't believe it. In the evening, the eldest brother told grandpa that you can just go there tomorrow."

"Thank you bro."

Zhu Yunxi got up in surprise and bowed deeply to Zhu Ying.

"Ugly words, you have never touched carpentry before. You must know that the art of carpentry has lasted for thousands of years, but it is not as fun as you imagined. If you can't stand it, you have to come back honestly. , learning literature and martial arts."

Seeing this, Zhu Ying exhorted.

This can be regarded as giving his younger brother a chance to pursue himself.

Avoid the old man's exam-oriented education.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely not disappoint big brother." Zhu Yunxie said excitedly.

Zhu Ying was speechless.

I'm so disappointed, even if she really likes carpenters, Zhu Ying didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to come up with any novelties.

According to Zhu Ying's arrangement, the future development of the carpenter for hundreds of years is a determined plan.

Even if Zhu Yunxi can escape the shackles of the times, it is impossible to reach the height of achievements of hundreds of years later.

"Mingyue, what are your thoughts?" After Zhu Yunxi finished cooking, Zhu Ying turned to Zhu Mingyue and said with a smile.

When Zhu Mingyue heard this, her face turned red.

"Brother, I don't have any other ideas. I just hope that my brother can help me arrange a good marriage. It's best. It's best to let me meet the other party first."

When Zhu Mingyue spoke, she lowered her head and her voice was like a gnat.

For a girl, such a request is already the limit she can think of.

Parents to enrich people.

From Zhu Mingyue's point of view, meeting people in advance is extremely difficult for the royal family.

But seeing that the younger brother can do the same, Zhu Mingyue mustered up the courage to tell it.

Zhu Ying laughed a little, and then said: "Tomorrow happens to be July [-]th, didn't my aunt find someone for you earlier, let me inquire for you first, and find out who the other party is."

"If you're considered a good match, and you're a nice person, then I'll make an appointment for you to meet me, brother. What do you think?"

Although I have no impression of my sister in history.

However, Lu's reputation, at least in the original history, was not too bad.

So Zhu Ying simply went to find out who was arranged.

If it is an ordinary person who is not suitable for Zhu Mingyue's status as the eldest daughter, or is a very bad person, it means that there must be something wrong in Mrs. Lu's heart.

If the arrangement is good, then there is no need to say more.

"Big brother decides everything." Zhu Mingyue said in a low voice.

Daming Palace, after the school field drills.

The ten princes returned to Shunmen left and right together, chatting and walking in twos and threes on the road.

"It's so tiring. I didn't expect that these exercises seem simple, but after doing it all day, I feel like my energy has been drained."

"Stop yelling, we guys are pretty good, at least we can sit down and rest when we are tired from standing in military posture. Look at those soldiers, no one has ever frowned."

"Hmph, what's the matter, we are all princes, it's their honor to be able to practice with them, do you expect us to be like those soldiers?"

"Furthermore, how old are we? We are more than ten years old. Most of these palace guards have fought against the emperor. Ten of us may not be able to fight one of them."

Many princes discussed what happened during the drill.

The princes or the grandsons of the emperor enjoy privileges during the practice, which is also Zhu Ying's tacit approval.

Of course, Zhu Ying could understand the old man's thoughts, but Zhu Ying didn't want to become a target of public criticism before formally meeting these uncles and brothers.

Besides, Zhu Ying also understood the old man's suppression of everyone, and there was absolutely no need to specifically target it in order to maintain his own majesty.

In front of the soldiers, embarrassing these princes and grandchildren seems to improve one's prestige, but it is also very easy to lose support.

"I saw that it seems that the emperor's nephew Yunxi left early before it was time for practice."

A prince suddenly spoke.

As soon as the words fell, the princes who had been discussing a lot, inexplicably quieted down.

Many of the princes showed strange expressions on their faces, and they looked at each other with a sense of understanding in their eyes.

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to the sixteenth prince, Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei was a little flustered by the look, and couldn't help saying: "It's his business to leave, so what do you want me to do."

After speaking, he walked forward quickly with a guilty conscience.

In fact, after telling the seventeenth prince Zhu Wei first, he told him to keep the secret and never spread it to outsiders.

However, before going to bed, Zhu Wei couldn't help but tell another prince.

By the time of the second day's practice, almost everyone knew everything.

There is even a tendency to spread to the emperor's grandson class.

Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Wei's leaving figure, thought about it in his heart, and decided to speak to Zhu Ying tomorrow.

It's not a big deal, it's not a small thing, but now that Zhu Ying's identity has not been disclosed, at least there is a preparation for saying hello.

Zhu Quan finally understood.

With Zhu Wei's character, it just so happens that tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival on July [-]th.

It is reckoned that by then, the entire imperial palace will probably know about Zhu Ying's existence, and there will be a new round of gossip craze.
