The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 510
The capital, King Yan's Mansion.

Looking at the plaque in front of him, Zhu Ying felt very emotional.

This is not the first time he has come here. When he first came to the capital, he stayed here as a guest of Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Also lived for a long time.

Then never came again.

A year has passed, and when I come back, it is completely different.

The figure of Zhu Gaochi came out at the door, and hurriedly came over to bow to him and said: "Brother, it's windy outside, please come to the mansion to rest."

Zhu Ying came back to her senses, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you have gained a lot of weight again."

"This is not feasible, we need to practice more in the future."

Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "Brother, it's not like you don't know about my situation. Let alone exercising, even drinking water makes you fat."

Zhu Ying shook her head and said: "How can drinking water make you fat? I don't know about you. You like to eat icing sugar the most. If you eat too much of that stuff, you can't lose it no matter what. Give up icing sugar and try not to lose it in the future. If you eat too sweet, you will lose weight slowly.”

Previously, Zhu Ying always thought that Zhu Gaochi might be ill.

It's like a person with a weak spleen will get fat no matter what.

But later, I also asked the imperial physician, and Zhu Gaochi's health is very good, and there are no such problems.

As far as the current imperial physicians are concerned, the level is still very high, so it should not be a big problem at this point.

It was not until later that by chance that Zhu Gaochi bought a large amount of icing sugar in the store under the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Ying then knew that Zhu Gaochi liked to eat icing sugar.

Icing sugar is not cheap nowadays, but with Zhu Gaochi's identity, it is no problem to enjoy it every day.

In today's era, who can still eat icing sugar often, so no one has considered this factor, and Zhu Ying knows very well that if the intake of sugar is too high, she will definitely gain weight.

This is also the reason why Zhu Gaochi has been unable to lose weight so far.

There are too few examples like him, and Zhu Gaochi hasn't told others much, and only a few family members want to know.

No one understands the truth that eating too much sugar will make you fat.

Even imperial physicians have almost never encountered such problems.

The medical skills of imperial physicians are mainly practiced in the folk, not to mention ordinary people, even a little richer big family, they don't often eat expensive icing.

So this kind of problem is not encountered at all.

Let’s talk about losing weight nowadays, it’s not a big deal at all, most of them don’t have enough to eat, so why talk about losing weight?

Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't care about Zhu Ying's words.

After all, icing sugar is his favorite snack, and he would feel bad if he didn't eat some.

Sweets are such a thing, the feeling of bursting in the taste buds is extremely fascinating.

Seeing that he didn't care much, Zhu Ying knew that he didn't worry about it, but Zhu Ying naturally had a way to solve this problem.

His Royal Highness Grandson came in person, no matter how grand the reception was, the princess and the other two princes also came to the door.

After entering the lobby, servants served tea.

After Zhu Ying took a sip, she looked at Xu Yihua and Zhu Gaochi and said: "This time, my nephew is here for brother Gaochi's business."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, what Grandpa means is to determine the position of the eldest son of the Zhu family."

"Now that Uncle Four has gone to the border, I will make a trip to the capital's side."

It is said that he is Ding Shizi.

Zhu Gaochi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, as if he had nothing to do with him at all.

And Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, is more energetic.

Especially Zhu Gaoxu.

He knew that his father had played the Grandpa Emperor before and wanted him to inherit the position of son, but now that His Royal Highness Taisun came, maybe it was him.

Zhu Gaosui knew in his heart that the son must have nothing to do with him.

However, he has a good relationship with his second brother Zhu Gaoxu, the two are often in the military camp, and he doesn't look down on his elder brother Zhu Gaochi at all.

Xu Yihua had a panoramic view of the expressions of the three sons, and finally said slowly to Zhu Ying; "Please tell me clearly, Your Highness Grandson."

She naturally knows the thoughts of the second child in the family, but she understands the thoughts of His Majesty even more.

The position of the son must be the boss.

His Majesty has always paid attention to the eldest son, and since he likes the boss, no matter what, he would not say that he broke the rules for the sake of the fourth master.

Zhu Ying took out the canonized decree from her bosom, and then signaled the eunuch Guo Zhong, the supervisor of ceremonies beside her, to take it and pass it to Zhu Gaochi.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes immediately became extremely resentful, but in front of His Royal Highness, he did not dare to show anything.

Zhu Gaochi saw the canonization decree Guo Zhong handed over, but he didn't reach out to accept it, and quickly knelt down and said: "Gao Chi, what virtue and ability, can take on the position of the son of the world, please also report to Grandpa Ming Emperor, my second brother's talents are far away. Far beyond my useless big brother."

"The position of the son should be held by the second younger brother."

Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Ying's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a smile: "This is what Grandpa meant, so it's possible that you still want to resist the order."

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Gaochi dare not."

Zhu Ying also knew Zhu Gaochi's embarrassment. After scanning around, she said: "My Ming Dynasty is inherited from the Central Plains. Since the emperor's grandfather restored the customs of my Han family, he has always established the first lineage and the first lineage."

"You are the eldest son of King Yan. If you have no virtue or loss, you should be the son of the world. This is the rule that grandpa has set when he established the country."

"This rule is not only for our Zhu family to obey, but also for any family in the world to follow this rule, otherwise the competition between the elders and the younger will be messed up."

"This kind of precedent cannot be set, let alone in our Zhu family. If this system of etiquette and law is broken, it will be turbulent."

"Zhu Gaochi, hurry up and accept the order to thank you."

After all the words were said, Zhu Gaochi naturally knelt down to thank him.

From this moment on, Zhu Gaochi is the son of King Yan.

The eldest son can inherit the position of King Yan, like Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, they can only be the king of the county in the future.

The difference of one level is huge.

Not only in terms of status, Zhu Gaochi can legitimately inherit everything from King Yan, and Zhu Gaoxu can only be regarded as a wealthy prince.

According to the new rules established by Zhu Ying, the kings no longer enjoy the rights and interests of the vassal land, and even the land granted has begun to decrease sharply, and they can only receive a salary.

However, the salary has been increased a lot.

"Gao Xu, Gao Sui."

After the canonization was completed, Zhu Ying called out their names.

The two looked at each other, then stood up and bowed to each other: "Brother."

Zhu Ying nodded, looked at the two of them and said, "I heard that the two younger brothers, Gao Xu and Gao Sui, are very similar to the Four Emperor Uncles in terms of martial arts, and they have very high talents."

"It's just that at this age, I have already started to lead troops to practice independently, but there is such a thing."

Zhu Gaoxu had a bit of surprise on his face, and then said: "Brother Qi, there is indeed such a thing."

Zhu Ying said angrily, "You are not humble at all."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu quickly bowed his head.

Zhu Ying went on to say: "A few days ago, I was discussing with my grandfather about the matter of the Fourth Emperor's Uncle being in Yancheng, Japan."

"The fourth emperor uncle once came to the palace to look for me, saying that he was not interested in the governance of the Wa Kingdom, and was most eager to make meritorious deeds."

"I know Sihuangshu's martial arts strategy. This is the reason for this trip to the border. Now grandpa's intentions have come down. In the future, I plan to appoint Sihuangshu to guard and administer the grassland border."

"It's just that Yan City of the Wa Kingdom cannot be lost, so I thought about letting Gao Chi go there and take charge of the management of Yan City of the Wa Kingdom, and you two brothers should follow along to the border to make contributions."

Hearing this, both Xu Yihua and the three brothers Zhu Gaochi couldn't believe it.

This is a great gift.

Not only was the city of Yan, the country of Wa, allowed to be preserved, but King Yan was allowed to lead the army at the border, and even his two sons could be sent there.

And the family business over there in the Wa country will be inherited.

These are two completely different concepts.

Who doesn't know if the conflict between His Highness Taisun and King Yan has really been resolved.

Xu Yihua was the first to react, and quickly got up to salute and said: "I mention Fourth Lord, thank you His Highness Grandson."

The three Zhu Gaochi brothers quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, His Royal Highness."

Zhu Ying smiled and said to Xu Yihua: "Fourth aunt's words are off the mark, we are a family, so it can be regarded as reassuring fourth uncle who is at the border."

Then he turned to Zhu Gaoxu and said, "You two have been naughty since you were young, and you can't study well, but you have a bit of fourth uncle's talent in leading the army."

"Don't think that going to the prairie is just to fight. You are too young and inexperienced. I am on the prairie. After spring, I will set up a military base for training prairie cavalry and learning about leading troops to fight. .”

"After you go to the grassland, go there first, let the fourth uncle take good care of it, and learn more things."

"War is not about rushing forward with a sword to kill. Leading soldiers requires brains. Don't end up with two reckless men to embarrass my Zhu family."

Hearing the elder brother's reprimand, the two brothers quickly nodded in agreement.

No matter how majestic a tiger is on weekdays, in front of big brother Zhu Ying, he can only be as obedient as a kitten.

You must know that the grandpa, the emperor they fear most, has to listen to the eldest brother in many things.

And my father has no temper in front of his elder brother.

Not only my two brothers, but also the other emperor's grandsons, who is not afraid of the elder brother.

Now in the emperor's grandson, if anyone mentions Zhu Ying, the scene will be a little quieter. It was originally noisy, but it immediately quieted down, and even the voice of speaking became much quieter.

Regarding these, Zhu Ying seldom pays attention to the situation of these younger brothers on weekdays, after all, he is really busy.

In the position of the crown prince, coupled with the letting go of the old man, the daily schedule is very tense.

In the most cases, Zhu Ying usually directly meets the fathers of these emperors and grandchildren, that is, the various vassal kings.

Among the vassal kings, Qin Wang Zhu Xi, Jin Wang Zhu Yan, and Yan Wang Zhu Di are the most powerful.

It can be said that they are the three brothers who take the lead.

There was the boss Zhu Biao before, but Zhu Biao has a gentle temperament and is not overbearing. Most of the people respect but are not afraid.

I'm afraid it's the three brothers who are making trouble.

It is these three vassal kings who are now convinced by Zhu Ying.

These things are not considered secrets in the palace, and they are open to talking about in private, which also led to Zhu Ying's reputation in the palace.

A large number of emperors, grandchildren and princesses are afraid when they hear Zhu Ying's name, they are like a big devil.

"Now that I'm here, I want to talk to Gao Chi about going to Japan." Zhu Ying said leisurely.

After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

Of course Xu Yihua understood that she wanted to tell her boss in private, so she got up and took the second and third to leave.

When Xu Yihua went out, the eunuchs around him also retreated and closed the door.

Zhu Gaochi walked over in a few steps, and complained: "Brother, didn't you hurt me? Look at my body, if I go to Japan, I will die before I arrive."

"I heard that there are often hurricanes and earthquakes in the Japanese country, and people die at every turn. How can I survive with my bones?"

In private, the relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Ying is still very good.

The previous friendship has always been there, and now there are only two of them, Zhu Gaochi naturally has no scruples, and complains immediately.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "You still don't want to. Going to the Wa country is almost like being a king. Everything over there is up to you. Fourth uncle went to the border, and your two younger brothers followed , so free, you don’t want it anymore.”

"What hurricanes, earthquakes, they are all bluffs. The Wa people live well and have not seen death. Of course, you go there and stay in the safest place."

"A hurricane can't blow you, an earthquake can't shake you."

"Furthermore, the Wa country is very important. It's not a place of distribution. You go there with a mission. You have to let the people of the Wa country listen to my teachings and turn them into people of my Ming Dynasty."

"This is of course extremely important to Daming. If you go as the son of the eldest son, you will be regarded as the supervisor of the country."

Zhu Gaochi knew that he had no chance of evading it when he heard it, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you can't let me jump over by myself, at least give someone."

"I don't want the craftsmen of the firearms, so as not to be acquired by the Japanese country, but other craftsmen, the elder brother can't give less."

"Also, the Japanese country seems to be peaceful. Who knows how long it will take to fight. I heard that the military academy has graduated, so I have to pick some capable people to serve as soldiers. I can't be bullied."

"and also."

Zhu Ying interrupted speechlessly: "There is still a hammer, you boy, now you have learned badly and become dishonest."

"That's how much you need to open your mouth. That's the land of the Three Kings. If I give you too much, how can I give you less?"

"There are a few good ones at the college, just follow them. There is no problem with artisans, but there should not be too many people. You can figure out the rest."

"At the Overseas Talent Recruiting Center, you have to figure out a way by yourself. There are not too few people now. Whether you can convince them to follow you depends on your own ability."
