Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 483 The Successor

For Zhu Yunying's depression, Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing, even feeling a little complacent and gloating.

Speaking of literati, Lao Zhu is deeply touched by this point.When he conquered the world, he was once looked down upon by literati.The original team member, that is, Li Shanchang, can be regarded as a scholar.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu actually worried that there were not enough civil servants.In addition to the fact that some scholars still miss the Yuan Dynasty in their hearts, it is also because after the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, it still has some influence on the style of writing in China.

Just look at the founding team of Lao Zhu, and you can see some clues by looking at the civil and military officials in the court in the early Ming Dynasty.It can really be said that "heroes don't ask where they come from", and many important ministers are not considered scholars in the true sense.

Even many civil servants are not necessarily from the traditional "channels of promotion" or from the imperial examination.

It's just that even so, during the Hongwu Dynasty, there were still a large number of talented people.The civil and military officials that Zhu Yunying uses now are basically from the Hongwu Dynasty.Regardless of whether they were already high and powerful during the Hongwu Dynasty or they were emerging, they were basically from the Hongwu Dynasty.

Zhu Yunying let out a long sigh, and said to Lao Zhu, "The north is still doing well, but at least it's a little more popular."

For Zhu Yunying's optimism, Lao Zhu doesn't really agree with him.

Although after the Northern Expedition, Lao Zhu finally reintroduced the north, which was far away from the rule of the Han people, into the orthodox rule of China. It was only a few hundred years of foreign rule, even if it was a series of Sinicization and the re-implementation of Han culture, the north is still not sure now. It is the attachment of the people's mind.

Whether it's relocating the Mongols, or stipulating that only Han Chinese clothes can be worn, or even the Beibang to attract the hearts of northern scholars.Even including the relocation of the capital to Beiping, these are actually for better governance and to win the hearts of the people.

It’s just that the time is too short to say, the Ming Dynasty was founded 32 years ago.The Youyun Sixteen States, which had been lost for 400 years, were also taken back at the same time. It was only 400 years and 32 years. There is no longer one or two generations here, it is even ten generations!
Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu and continued, "Grandpa Huang, there will be movement in Gaoli in the past few days. We thought, you should go to the court."

Old Zhu frowned slightly, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Ying'er, you have been crowned emperor for three years, and now the government and the public are all under your control. If you want me to say, let's not go up. Otherwise, the people at the bottom It's hard for you to tell how people should arrange it, and you thought we'd been holding you in."

The reason why Lao Zhu is so worried is that Lao Zhu also knows that his prestige is too great, and it will have a great impact on Xiao Zhu.

Even if he is the Supreme Emperor now, the people in the government and the public are more afraid of obeying Emperor Hongwu than they are for Emperor Yingshi.

Furthermore, as the Supreme Emperor, Lao Zhu has no special nostalgia for power, as long as his grandson manages the country well.However, there are people in the court who may have other thoughts, and feel that the Supreme Emperor has not completely handed over power.

Especially once any major event occurs, Lao Zhu, the Supreme Emperor, will appear in the court.Looking at it this way, it is easy to make people imagine, and feel that Emperor Hongwu is still the real power controller of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Yingshi is not considered "pro-government".

"Grandfather, don't think too much about it." Zhu Yunying laughed and didn't take it seriously, "Is it possible for the courtiers not to know what our Daming is like?"

Old Zhu seemed to be able to guess what Zhu Yunying wanted to say.He actually thought so too, but he was worried that outsiders wouldn't understand it.

"When we were still the emperor's grandson, we reviewed the memorials, and many of the memorials were reviewed by us and then sent to the emperor's grandfather for review." Zhu Yunying was not without pride, and said to Lao Zhu, "I don't know, I thought we made the emperor's grandfather empty , we can call ourselves emperor long ago."

After pouring good tea for Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying continued, "Other people, even if it's us, it's hard to say about some things in the future. We may not be as willing to delegate power as Grandpa Huang."

Lao Zhu didn't care, and just said, "We are willing to let you have a bright future. We don't think we will worry about you and Yin'er in the future. Let him watch the government when he is of the right age. If you are busy, you can manage the government yourself. Just find some small things for him to practice."

Lao Zhu actually didn't really care much about whether the emperor should delegate power like him.He also understands that sitting on the dragon chair, most people are really reluctant to let go of power, even if it is for his own son, it may not be willing.

As long as the status of the crown prince of Daming is stable, as long as the inheritance of Daming's country is orderly, it is enough to experience the crown prince a little bit.

Lao Zhu also knew that it was really abnormal for someone like him to train the prince and the grandson of the emperor, and it was almost impossible to find such a thing in the past dynasties.

"Then let's go up." Lao Zhu also made a quick decision and said to Zhu Yunying, "If we pass, you can use the tiger's skin as a banner. Let's not talk, let's see who is dishonest .”

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, even more acknowledging this, "In fact, we also have the same thoughts. We also know that we will not have the same mind for such a big event. It's just that we are afraid that we will not be able to see through some individuals, so we have to let Grandpa Huang help Hold your palms and eyes."

Now that Zhu Yunying has said so, Lao Zhu will naturally not object any more, he feels that he can do these things now.He doesn't have the energy to manage politics now, he just helps his grandson look after people, and Lao Zhu is still very confident about this.

While the grandpa and grandson were chatting and talking about some positive things, a chubby round head grabbed the door frame and peeked outside the door.

If other people dare to do this, it must be a big deal.In fact, it is unlikely to happen, not to mention maids and eunuchs, and those guards will not allow it.

It's just that if this is the current crown prince, then everything is understandable.Whoever dares to expel the crown prince who cares about the government will be considered a treason by the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, and he will be severely punished.

"Our Yin'er seems to be getting fat again." Zhu Yunying saw little Zhu, and said worriedly, "We are not fat, and neither is his mother. They were all raised by the emperor's grandfather. This is so fat."

Lao Zhu laughed and was very proud.Little Zhu is now plump and fat, so of course Old Zhu must have contributed a lot.Give little Zhu everything that is good to eat and drink. If she loses weight, then Old Zhu can't accept it.The baby's great-grandson is fat and puffy, and Lao Zhu finds it cute no matter how he sees it.

"Father, we are not fat!" Little Zhu rushed into the hall and corrected him, "We have a big face, all the flesh grows on the face and buttocks, and there is a little flesh on the stomach, so we are not fat."

Little Zhu probably had a reason for saying this.There is still a bit of baby fat on the face, plus some Chinese characters, which makes the face appear larger, and it seems to be a tendency to get fat easily.

As for little Zhu's weight, it was mainly because the child's body was over.This kid is not puffy, and his small body is also very muscular. If it is weighed, it is probably a little heavier.

Old Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, picked up little Zhu and said, "Your father is just talking nonsense, our Yin'er is not fat. Your father was even fatter when he was a child, and he almost can't walk!"

This is absolutely wronged, Lao Zhu is confounding right and wrong in order to coax his great-grandson.Zhu Yunying is quite concerned about her weight and figure.In the final analysis, it is 'fear of death', he has been busy exercising all the time, and he is not in vain.

"We told your father that we will go to court tomorrow." Old Zhu kissed little Zhu, and then said, "Why don't you go to court with us, and we will go to court together."

Xiao Zhu immediately shook her head, still very assertive, "We won't go, we have to go to the school tomorrow. Let's go to the school first, and then to the school grounds, we have to practice riding and archery tomorrow, we don't have time to go to court."

Regardless of whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, although they dote on Xiao Zhu very much, and even spoil him.

It's just that there are some principled things, and they all understand it.Little Zhu can be a bit naughty, but there are some things that must be taken seriously.

Little Zhu doesn't need to be brilliant, anyway, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu don't need a crown prince who is full of knowledge.As long as Xiao Zhu is literate and sensible, basically it is almost enough.

But no matter what, Xiao Zhu still has to read when it's time to read.Regarding the education of little Zhu, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu have never dared to slack off, and this is what they attach the most importance to and care about the most.

If you don't go to the court, you don't go to the court. Anyway, even if Xiao Zhu appears in the court now, the symbolic meaning is greater than the reality.

Lao Zhu, who has a great-grandson, doesn't need a grandson, and Xiao Zhu doesn't plan to stay here any longer.Xu Miaoqing is also pregnant now, which is not particularly convenient, but Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry about having no place to go.

There are 72 concubines in the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces, which is definitely not the case, but Zhu Yunying's concubines are not too few now.Many people are also eager, waiting for the emperor to come to luck.

The Liu family, who came from the family of Yihuihou Liu Jizu, and the granddaughter of the old Zhu Ganniang, Mrs. Wang, also entered the palace.This is also the concubine Lao Zhu found for Zhu Yunying, and this can be regarded as Lao Zhu's alternative way of repaying his favor.

Although these two concubines are ordinary in appearance, but their backgrounds are special, the heirs of Lao Zhu's family still know how to be grateful.Therefore, whether it is Xiao Zhu or Xu Miaoqing, they are more respectful to these two.

It's just a pity that these two are not ladies after all, they are a bit of nouveau riche, which is why they are still not very favored even though they come from good backgrounds.

"Father!" Zhu Ruyi ran over, looking very happy, "We miss you."

Zhu Yunying was in a good mood and said, "Go and call your brother over, and have dinner at Auntie's."

The pink Zhu Ruyi turned around and ran to pick up her younger brother.As for the emperor's brother, forget it, the emperor's brother must be in Qianqing Palace again, Zhu Ruyi knows this truth!
