The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 312 Chapter 310: Sin in the present age, merit in the future (seeking monthly ticket)
Similar to Zhu Yan, in fact, when they were very young, they all grew up in the military camp, including Zhu Di.

They study literature, but they are more martial.

Leading troops to fight, no matter if it is Zhu Chen or Zhu Fang, is the life they most desire.

The reason why Zhu Yan was so eager was because he realized that the biggest problem for the vassal king was military power.

The father gave them, because the father needed them to restrain Daming's military general Xungui.

But now, the eldest nephew wants to take it back, which is a bit uncomfortable.

Zhu Xi didn't express much emotion when he heard the words, but instead asked, "If this is the case, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yan became anxious all of a sudden, and said: "I, I...I..."

But after talking about me three times in a row, there is no way to continue what he said later.

After a long time, he asked dejectedly, "Father won't agree. I have shed blood for Daming and made a lot of contributions."

Zhu Xi smiled contemptuously, and said, "Third brother, don't you think that with the degree of favor that the eldest nephew has in front of the father, if you really bring up this matter, the father will not agree."

"Let me just put it this way. You must know the situation of the elder brother. Think about it carefully. When the eldest nephew was young, how much the mother doted on him, and how much the father doted on him."

"Since the eldest nephew was born, how many nights has he slept in the East Palace? Eldest brother used to say that the eldest nephew was not born by himself, but by his mother's mother. He said that he was the eldest grandson, rather than his own son."

"Look now, the eldest nephew has been living in exile for ten years, his mother died of illness, the Kunning Palace became a forbidden place, and the emperor father vacated the position of empress for ten years, and the Ming Dynasty had no mother. Now when the eldest nephew comes back, he will directly live in the Kunning Palace. "

"And recently, if you look closely at Father, the corners of his mouth are always upturned. It is said that he eats two extra bowls of rice every day."

"Let's put it this way, if the eldest nephew rebels now, I'm afraid Father will personally dress him in a dragon robe."

"On the day of the canonization ceremony, did you feel a little familiar with that mianfu? I can recognize it very clearly. It is the mianfu of eldest brother."

"When I first made this mianfu, I saw it and asked my father why the elder brother's mianfu was made according to the emperor's etiquette."

"At that time, I was severely reprimanded by my father, so you can understand what kind of status my eldest nephew currently holds in my father's heart."

Zhu Xi's tone was indifferent, and he analyzed the current situation step by step. After returning from the war in Sichuan, his wisdom seemed to be rising in a straight line.

Of course Zhu Fen was not stupid, but he didn't realize it, and in his heart, the relationship with his eldest nephew was still very good.

At least in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, the cooperation with the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under the command of the eldest nephew was very speculative.

After listening, a trace of struggle flashed across Zhu Yan's face, and he said, "Second brother, can't we do anything?"

Zhu Xi laughed and asked, "What do you want to do? If you don't agree, why don't you go and sue the father and let the father persuade the eldest nephew?"

Zhu Yan shook his head bitterly, and said: "Then let's be a rich prince honestly in the future. The eldest nephew is still very rich, so he will not treat us badly."

Seeing this, Zhu Xi comforted, "Third brother, don't worry, this is just the worst plan, but in my opinion, the eldest nephew may have more ideas."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xi shook his head slightly and said: "Let's stop guessing like this. When the eldest nephew comes over at the dinner party, it will naturally be clear."

Zhu Yan could only nod helplessly.

At this time, the steward of Prince Qin's Mansion came to report: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Chu, His Highness King Qi, and King Shu are here to visit."

Qin Wang Zhu Xi said, "Please come quickly."

After listening to the second brother's order to the housekeeper, Zhu Yan smiled and said to Zhu Xi: "It seems that not only us, but also the sixth, seventh, and eleventh brothers have the same idea."

King Qin Zhu Xi nodded, and sighed a bit: "The fifth and twelve brothers don't care about this matter. The fifth brother is devoted to medicine, and now he is running a school with his eldest nephew, and he doesn't want to go back to the domain. When I went to him, I put my heart and soul into it.”

"As for the situation of the twelfth brother, you understand."

Hearing the second elder brother Zhu Xi mentioning the twelfth younger brother Zhu Bo, the King of Xiang, Zhu Wei nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

If you say who is the most obedient child in this big royal family, it is naturally Zhu Bo, the King of Xiang. For so many years, even the elder brother Zhu Biao has had conflicts with his father, but only the twelfth prince, Zhu Bo, the King of Xiang, is the real one. No matter how big or small, he completely obeyed his father's orders.

In fact, Zhu Bai, king of Hunan, was indeed a filial son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Historically, King Zhu Bo of Hunan had no offspring, because after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he was extremely painful and had the idea of ​​abandoning the world.

Finally, under Zhu Yunwen's attack and suspicion, he set fire to his palace and concubines with his own hands, put on the prince's clothes, and rode a white horse with a bow and arrow in his hand and jumped into the fire to commit suicide.

Zhu Bo, king of Xiang, was truly capable of literature and martial arts, with elegant demeanor, good at calligraphy, painting and poetry, and his calligraphy was powerful and exquisite.

Whenever Zhu Yuanzhang has poems, he likes to let Zhu Bo write them.

In the paintings, Hunan King Zhu Bai was good at painting babies.

Speaking of which, Xiang Wang Zhu Bo and Zhu Ying still have a small relationship.

Currently stored in Zhu Yuanzhang's palace, the paintings of the great grandson who used to think about it day and night were painted by Zhu Bo, king of Hunan.

Zhu Bo was fond of learning, and he often read until midnight, and set up a "Jing Yuan Pavilion" to recruit talented people to proofread and sort out books. Zhu Bo also liked to talk about military affairs. He has a heroic spirit.

Wherever Zhu Bo went, he carried books in his pouch with him, and he never gave up reciting them in the cold and heat.

After passing through the scenic spots of mountains and rivers, you will linger all day long, and you must compose poems and compositions for them, and engrave them on stones.

Zhu Boyou is good at Taoism, and he is very fond of Taoist culture, even disregarding his status as a prince, he calls himself 'Zixuzi'.

Zhu Xing and Zhu Xing knew very well that if the emperor intended to take military power, the twelve younger brothers would probably be the first to respond and would not hesitate in the slightest.

Among all the vassal kings, it seems that Zhu Xi and Zhu Wei are the only ones who forgot to mention Zhu Di.

It's just about Zhu Di and his eldest nephew, who wouldn't know about it.

If you really want to give military power, the first one to give it must be Zhu Di.

Anyway, when there is something bad for the vassal king, after all, Yan Wang Zhu Di will take the lead first.

The ones behind are waiting for an opportunity.

Just when the vassal kings began to gather at Qin Wangfu, Zhu Ying had arrived at Huagai Palace from Dali Temple.

"The Lord is here. If you have any ideas, you can talk to our grandson. This matter was proposed by the grandson. We don't know what will happen in the future, but we have to try after all."

"What you said to us just now, why don't you see how Dasun explains it."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the eldest grandson, he smiled and said to the courtiers below.

Since the early dynasty, courtiers from various departments have gathered here, mainly the Hanlin Academy, and then some censors, and the heads of various departments.

For example, Shangshu, even Liu Sanwu and Bai Xinwu, who had spoken in the early court, were relatively high-ranking and powerful, and none of them fell.

Obviously, this is also afraid of being caught by His Majesty.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying glanced over, and the leader among them was naturally the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Liu Shilang, you didn't tell me earlier, but now come here and tell grandpa, do you have any opinion on me?"

Zhu Ying was unequivocal, she came in and said directly to Liu Shilang, the Ministry of Officials.

When she was at the door just now, Zhu Ying had already heard something about the imperial examination.

Obviously they wanted to make a detour. Seeing that the old man Zao Shangshang didn't say much, they thought they could open the door from the old man here and there.

"I dare not."

Liu Shilang obviously didn't dare to wear such a big hat, so he quickly bowed and replied.

"Humph."

Zhu Ying snorted twice, then turned her eyes to the old man, with a hint of questioning in her eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood the meaning in this look, and nodded slightly.

With the old man's approval, Zhu Ying didn't have the slightest bit of politeness, and directly ordered: "Thinking behind the scenes, there is a suspicion of alienating the relationship between me and grandpa. Even so, there is no need for me to be polite to you."

"Liu He!"

"The minister is here."

"The decree of this palace is passed, and those who are headed by Liu Shilang and others will be fined for one year, and will be demoted three levels in a row, and the imperial staff will be fifteen, so as to imitate others."

"The minister obeys the order."

Following the conversation between Zhu Ying and Liu He, Liu Shilang turned pale with fright.

His lips moved, but he dared not speak.

"Why, not convinced?" Zhu Ying asked with a sneer.

"I dare not." Liu Shilang said in fear.

Zhu Ying didn't bother to respond, and said: "Drag it out, drag it farther away, don't spoil the good mood of Bengong and Grandpa."

Jiang Yu took dozens of Jinyiwei, and directly put the dozen or so people out.

Faced with such a situation, these officials did not even dare to say much to refute their begging for mercy.

With the dislike of alienation, if His Majesty is to take action, I am afraid that no one here will survive.

In comparison, His Royal Highness's fine salary for one year, downgraded by three ranks in a row, and ten strokes of the imperial staff, are really insignificant.

If you resist, it will only get heavier.

After everyone was dragged away, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I think they will all be grateful to the great grandson for his kindness."

This kind of treatment was really rare and pitiful in the imperial court during the Hongwu period. Before that, some officials were likely to be beheaded when they were late when His Majesty was in a bad mood.

In the early 20th year of Hongwu, there was a third-rank servant who lost his head.

There are rumors in the ruling and opposition parties that if His Majesty can't look down on you, he is likely to be executed because he stepped into the Fengtian Hall with his right foot first when he went to court.

Hearing what the old man said, Zhu Ying smiled and did not answer.

The reason why officials have such a disparity mentality, all of this naturally has a lot to do with the old man's coercive policy.

But Zhu Ying doesn't like killing people, especially literati.

In Zhu Ying's view, the population of Daming is relatively small now, and literati must make the best use of everything they have. For example, for labor prisoners at that time, some literati can also be recruited to teach.

Zhu Ying still thinks that those who have made mistakes can be forgiven.

What's more, in these years, many people who commit crimes do so out of necessity. In the end, everything is for the sake of life.

If you can get enough food and clothing, you won't commit so many crimes.

"The big grandson's dinner has already been prepared. Knowing the son is like a father. Our sons are not easy to worry about, but they are quite capable in fighting."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled and said: "I think our sons are thinking about whether the grandson wants to take away all their military power and make him a rich prince."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying also laughed, and said: "Of course I think so, but it's not bad to think this way, at least it's relatively easier for my grandson to accept the matter of establishing a feudal domain overseas."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I'm afraid they will be more happy when they hear Dasun's thoughts. They thought they lost their military power, but they didn't expect Dasun to give them the monarchy directly. However, Dasun's behavior is not afraid of suffering. Is it the infamy of those ordinary people?"

When Zhu Ying heard this, the corners of her mouth turned up, and said: "The crime lies in the present, and the merit lies in the future!"
