Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 470
At the gate of King Wu's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi, who considered himself the fifth most noble man in the world, waited in good order with his family.

Of course there is a basis for thinking that he is the fifth in the world. His grandfather was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he is naturally the most honorable.The second most honored, of course, is his elder brother, who is the current emperor.The third most honorable one is undoubtedly his nephew, the crown prince, who is the heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty after all.

The fourth noble is undoubtedly the emperor's wife who is the mother of the world, and the queen is also a king.

As for the two older sisters, although Zhu Yunxi is also very close to the two older sisters who have taken care of him since he was a child.Just don't say that there is such an old feudal grandfather as Lao Zhu. In today's era, a married daughter is just splashed water.

In fact, the honor of the former King Wu, that is, Uncle Wu Wang, is naturally beyond doubt.It's just that it's the emperor's brother who is sitting on the dragon chair now, so the status of Zhu Yunxi, the emperor's younger brother, has also risen.

As for the fact that Brother Huang has other heirs, Zhu Yunxi doesn't particularly care about it.

For example, another nephew, Zhu Wenqian, Zhu Yunxie has seen only a handful of times, after all, he is just a concubine, and he will be a prince in the future.Zhu Yunxi also learned badly, and he highly respects the system of heirs, and that is the orthodoxy in his mind.

"Father." Zhu Wengeng walked up to Zhu Yunxie, hugged Zhu Yunxie's thigh and said, "Brother Huang is here again?"

A few days ago, I went to the Xiaoling Mausoleum with my father and brother to pay homage to my grandparents.For his prince cousin, Zhu Wengeng is more 'scared', because the emperor always bullies him.

"Your imperial brother will be here in a while, don't keep pestering him." Zhu Yunxie said with a little amused, "Your imperial brother is playful, unlike your imperial uncle. When your imperial uncle was so old, he liked to take the Let's play with your two imperial aunts. Your imperial brother, I can't see anyone younger than him, and I always feel that you are slowing down."

While King Wu was chatting with the future son of King Wu, a grand guard of honor appeared, and Zhu Yunxie hurriedly brought his wife and children to kneel down.As for his concubines, they no longer have such status, and have no chance to wait outside the mansion gate.

"Second Uncle!" Little Zhu lifted the curtain of the car and shouted excitedly, "Second Uncle, here we come again."

Little Zhu may be ignorant, but Zhu Yunxie is very polite, "Sun Chen pays respects to His Majesty the Emperor, and minister pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Old Zhu was supported by little Zhu, smiled and waved his hands, "Let's all get flat, Wen Geng, come to us."

Although Lao Zhu basically only has a great-grandson like Xiao Zhu in his eyes, it doesn't mean that he turns a blind eye when he sees other great-grandsons.Especially Zhu Yunxi, he is also Da Zhu's direct son after all, and his status is quite special.

"Learn from your emperor brother, ride more, learn Chinese, and have a solid body." Zhu Wengeng picked him up and weighed it, and Lao Zhu said, "Now this little chicken is like a baby, and it doesn't weigh much. I think it's usually not very good. Let's eat."

Zhu Wengeng didn't speak, and when he was hugged by Lao Zhu, he just promised not to cry.I am still a little unfamiliar with Lao Zhu, and I am also a little afraid.

Looking at it this way, Old Zhu felt that Little Zhu was the closest, unlike Zhu Wengeng who dared not say anything when he saw him, let alone being close.

Zhu Yunxi was not disappointed or anything, there was no need to be disappointed.Don't talk about his son, even he himself would feel apprehensive when he saw Lao Zhu a lot, which is quite normal.

In Zhu Yunxi's view, the person who dares to joke with his grandpa is only his brother.If the whole world is not afraid of his grandpa, it is indeed his brother.Of course, Grandpa Huang has always been very close. In fact, he has been his elder brother all these years.

"Second Uncle, it's almost New Year's Eve, and many people don't have new clothes." Little Zhu immediately ran to Zhu Yunxie and said, "Second Uncle, we don't have any money in our hands. Second Uncle gives us some money, and we want to give it to the nursing home." New clothes for orphans and widows. The queen mother also said that next year the department will start, and new clothes will be given to poor students at the other end of the red warehouse."

Zhu Yunxi seemed to understand in an instant that he was usually the one who went out to play the autumn wind, but now someone was playing the autumn wind with him.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi had no complaints, and immediately praised, "The prince is really kind and kind, just like the emperor's brother!"

"It's your emperor's brother's son after all. Your emperor's brother told your emperor's grandmother in the early years that the people of Li should be fed and clothed." Lao Zhu said with some complacency, hands behind his back. I just think about eating, drinking and having fun, and I just want to live a good life. Your emperor brother has the world in his heart, and he thinks that he is a citizen of our Daming."

Zhu Yunxi was already unable to complain. Over the years, he had already gotten used to many things.For example, in the eyes of his imperial grandfather, his imperial brother is the best in the world, and there is nothing wrong with his imperial brother.

"Hongcang is the legacy of the imperial grandmother, so the grandson should do his best." Zhu Yunxie looked at Lao Zhu's eyes and said, "The prince is kind and caring for the people, and he cares about the orphans. We are the prince of Ming Dynasty, otherwise we Take 3000 taels of silver?"

Before Old Zhu could speak, Little Zhu shouted, "Grandpa Huang took 5 taels of silver, but Second Uncle gave too little to accomplish anything."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't listen anymore, and hurriedly said, "Prince, although the price of grain is a little variable now, it's almost like one tael of silver can be exchanged for two shi rice. Ordinary people only get thirteen shi rice a year. Isn't this 5000 taels?" too much?"

Lao Zhu coughed and said, "Is it really hard to get it out? You have received many rewards from your emperor brother these years."

"5000 taels." Zhu Yunxi said with a sad face, "Grandfather, the imperial court allocates a lot of money to the nursing home every year, why should the prince reward you!"

Old Zhu pointed at Zhu Yunxi, that was a person who hates iron but not steel, "Forget it, we don't bother to talk about you. If you are half as smart as your emperor brother, we will save a lot of worry. You foolish bastard, you just let me Your imperial brother will protect you."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing immediately, he didn't think it was something to be ashamed of, but it was something he was proud of.

"Father said that the imperial court belongs to the imperial court, and we belong to us." Little Zhu speaks plausibly, and he is also helping his uncle to teach and solve doubts, although this is just some of what little Zhu said, "We want to raise Lonely, widowed, young and old, this is the only way to have a good reputation!"

Old Zhu took Little Zhu by the hand and said, "Let's go to your fifth prince's mansion. Your second uncle will definitely be able to come over for you."

There is no need to stay longer, because Lao Zhu feels that the mission of coming to the Wu Palace this time has been fulfilled.

This time, he didn't come here to visit relatives. Lao Zhu took Xiao Xiaozhu out of the palace this time, obviously with a special mission.

What's more, in Lao Zhu's plan, he obviously didn't just want to see Zhu Yunxi's grandson, he also wanted to see his other descendants, so the schedule was relatively tight.

Now that Zhu Yunxi has agreed to take out 5000 taels, Lao Zhu will not delay.He had to go to the next one, and he didn't need to worry about not being able to keep the amount Zhu Yunxi promised. There was no such thing.

Zhu Yunxi, who has long been accustomed to the autumn wind everywhere, didn't know what to say. He usually went to the emperor's brother to cheat and abduct him to get some benefits. This can be regarded as Wu Wangfu. Although it is a little luxurious, there is no need to worry about making ends meet. one of the causes of general embarrassment.

It's just that it's good now, he needs to spend a lot of money. Although [-] miles is not too much for the Wu Palace, it is indeed not a small number.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, and Zhu Yunxi took out 5000 taels of silver, which really could not be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, but it cannot be said that this amount of money could not accomplish anything.

This sum of money alone can almost make a hundred families live well for a year.The elderly or some children in the nursing home may be able to see the smell of meat while putting on new clothes.

It's just that in Lao Zhu's opinion, this amount is not enough. He still needs to take Xiao Xiaozhu to move forward, and there are many things to do.

The other heirs also want to go there, not only to go, but to get more money.The most important thing is to make such a big fanfare, that is, to let people all over the world know something.

This is an out-and-out good deed. If ordinary rich people do it, maybe they can still have a good reputation and make people grateful.And now it is the Crown Prince who is coming forward, so this naturally has an unusual meaning.

Even though the current little Zhu doesn't know much about commodity prices, in Lao Zhu's opinion, there is no need for little Zhu to understand these things at all. Little Zhu only needs to show his kindness and some good deeds are enough.

As for how to let little Zhu's reputation spread, or how to get praise from the government and the public through such an action, you need a little bit of hard work from Lao Zhu.

That's why Lao Zhu put on a guard of honor uncharacteristically, he didn't mind some ordinary people watching.Even among the onlookers, there were quite a few people from Dongchang or Jinyiwei. The task of these people was to let more people know about the good deeds of the crown prince.

Sometimes it is like this, doing a good deed does not necessarily mean keeping a low profile, and doing a good deed with a lot of fanfare does not necessarily mean a bad thing.

Thinking about his children and grandchildren, Lao Zhu is in a very good mood.As long as little Zhu goes around the various clans these few days, that's basically enough.

The old and the young started to act, and they were naturally enthusiastic about this matter.The young one may be just curious, just because of a whim, but the old one who has gone through the storm, at this time can be regarded as playing a big game of chess.

"The prince is benevolent, pity the widows, the old and the young, who are struggling to make a living, and deliberately seek the clan."

"I heard that the king of Zhou and the king of Wu each offered 5000 taels of silver. The crown prince is in charge of this matter. The orphans and widows in the nursing home can get a set of winter clothes and spring clothes. It is said that there will be meat on New Year's Eve."

"Next year will be Chunwei. The crown prince values ​​talents, and specially decrees that poor students can go to the Gongyuan to receive a set of clothes and a set of the four treasures of the study."

Some news spreads relatively fast, especially in this era, where there is a lack of entertainment, so many people also like to pay attention to some gossip.

What's more, this is at the feet of the emperor. If there is a little movement, it will naturally spread quickly. What's more, this is still related to the crown prince. Many people naturally pay more attention and attention to some things.

As for the speed of transmission is very fast, and the scope of coverage can be regarded as relatively wide, this matter is actually very understandable.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei have secretly contributed to promoting the benevolence of the prince. This is also one of their important tasks, and this is what they need to do well now.

This is not the will of the crown prince or the empress, but the will of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor. Naturally, these two secret service agencies attach great importance to this matter, and they must do these things well.

Needless to say whether there is any merit in this matter, the reason why the crown prince brought up this matter deserves the gratitude of many people. They feel that the crown prince is benevolent, and that the prince of the Ming Dynasty has a benevolent appearance.

What's more, this matter is not just talk, this matter is also real.The crown prince came forward in person, and the clan still gave face very much.It doesn't matter if you don't give face, because the one who brought the crown prince out of the palace is the Supreme Emperor.

When the prince opened his mouth, the clan might squeak.It's just that when they are hesitating, the emperor is not happy, so that's interesting.

In fact, this can be regarded as Lao Zhu forcing some clans to take out some money, and then hand it over to Xiao Xiaozhu to make a name for himself.

"You have to pay attention to this matter." Old Zhu said to Xiao Zhu while drinking wine, "If these things are done well, Yin'er's reputation will be gained. Although Yin'er is the crown prince, the crown prince's The seat should be his. As long as he has a good reputation and prestige, he should have it."

"This grandson naturally knows." Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "The grandson has worked hard on these things these years. We canonized Yin'er as soon as we ascended the throne. It's not to fool the grandpa. Besides, it's all these years. After coming down, we did not do less to support our Yin'er. Now that Yin'er has a kind heart, we are naturally happy."

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, very relieved, "After all, he is Biaoer's grandson, kind-hearted. He is better than you. Although you love the people, you just see far and do little things. Mo You should underestimate these small favors, these things can be seen and touched, and people will think of you well."

Xiao Zhu was just smiling at this time, he felt that what Lao Zhu said was quite reasonable.

Although Xiao Zhu formulated a lot of policies, they basically hoped that the people of Ming Dynasty would live better.It's just that some people don't think it can be seen or touched, and they even think it should be taken for granted.

And some seemingly "small favors and small favors" are actually used, and these cannot be ignored.

Looking at Lao Zhu, Xiao Zhu said, "These things are still being watched by the emperor, whoever dares to stretch out his hand will definitely be punished!"
