Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 498 Clan, Be Honest!
As for these cousins ​​of his own, Zhu Yunying is actually not particularly familiar with them.

Regardless of Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi, cousins ​​like Zhu Gaochi generally grew up in Yingtianfu and studied in Dabentang.But these cousins ​​are not familiar with Zhu Yunying.

The eldest sons of these princes generally study in the Dahon Hall with other princes of the right age.

Here I have to praise Lao Zhu. The result of his good body is that Zhu Biao has been giving birth since Zhu Biao was born.People don't have their first son until they are [-], which is definitely too late, but who knows that they have accumulated a lot of money, and they can still have children when they are [-].

So in Dahondo, I have always been a nephew, maybe older than my uncle, Dahondo has always been lively, and it is really too much for the children of the clan or some honorable children who are going to study. many.

Zhu Yunying, on the other hand, was basically learning to read and write with Empress Ma, or with Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.In fact, he received an imperial education since he was a child, instead of receiving a "general education" like those princes and princes' sons.

Zhu Yunxi, who likes to play truant, or Zhu Yunqi, who is diligent in studying, is actually more familiar with these cousins, and they can even study and grow up together, and their brotherhood may also be deeper.

Looking at Zhu Wei, Zhu Yunying said helplessly, "Uncle Wu also understands that even though the sons of the emperor's uncles have no worries about food and clothing, they are just one by one. If they can inherit the title of prince, who would be willing to be a county king?" .”

Isn't that the reason? In order to sit on the dragon chair, the emperor's heirs will do everything they can.

And the heirs of those princes also understand that they basically have nothing to do with the dragon chair.It's just that even if you can't sit on the dragon chair, you should work hard. If the elder brother is ineffective, or the younger brothers have no chance, then he can 'replace' him as the prince, which is much more prestigious than the county king and has more power.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly said, "As for other people, we are not very familiar with them. Although cousin Jixi is not a great talent, he has his duty. He often works with his second elder brother, cousin Shang Bing, cousin Gao Chi, and cousin Youdun. They like to read, and they all have some talent. Grandpa Huang always said that we should learn from them and be a virtuous king."

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Yunying, and then at Zhu Yunxie, the expression was more subtle.This mother with the same fetus has completely different appearances.One is that he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and the other is a model of the clan's dandyism at a young age.

"We know this. They are all the prince's sons, and the emperor's grandfather and father also attach great importance to it," Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "It's like a stew. If he doesn't study hard, we will take care of him." Control. If there is a problem, we will take care of it less."

Zhu Youxi, this is Zhu Huan's second son.As for Zhu Youdun, this is Zhu Wei's eldest son, and also the son of King Zhou.

Zhu Huan remembered something, and said, "If there is stew, we still have some confidence, it is very similar to us, and it also has some literary talent. Even if there is such a bastard, we don't feel at ease at all."

"I'm not at ease. If it weren't for Uncle Wu's face, we would have dealt with him a long time ago." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "That bastard, who secretly poked someone to bring us some news earlier, seems to be scared. It’s because I have some thoughts about Prince Zhou’s son.”

This was originally from eating melons, because the heirs of the second and third brothers' families were restless.But I didn't expect that my own children were not worried.

Zhu Su was silent for a moment, and then said, "That bastard just thinks too much, he's just a concubine, not the eldest son, he's thinking too much."

"Yun Wen used to be like this, and now the more we think about it, the more it becomes like this." Zhu Yunxi began to gossip, and said, "We can be regarded as the Lu family who grew up, but even though we and Yun Wen grew up and studied together, the Lu family can Don't care about us. Yun Wen sells well in front of the father and imitates the father in everything, but we know that they don't think our eldest brother is like the father."

This is not a small 'crime' for the crown prince, and he may not be able to sit firmly in the East Palace.

Although it seems that he is not interested in politics, Zhu Xi, the first generation of the clan's dandy, is not unintentional.Don't look at his dark history of leaving the fief without authorization, but now he prefers to study plants and compile encyclopedias.

But in the end, she also grew up in front of Queen Ma.He can do a good job in escorting grain and grass, passing orders outside the Great Wall, etc.As far as leading troops to fight, he doesn't seem to have much experience, but he still has some skills.This isn't an embroidered pillow, this is real talent.

In fact, Lao Zhu's first few sons, let alone cruelty or absurdity, generally had certain military talents.This is probably also because when they were born, Lao Zhu was still fighting the world, and Lao Zhu and Queen Ma hoped that these offspring could assist Da Zhu.

Zhu Huan said angrily, "It's not that we said Yun Wen, that kid is just thinking about it, and the Lu family is just from a small family and has no knowledge. Our eldest brother is talented in literature, and everyone in the government and the public knows that our eldest brother is lenient, really. If you want to learn from Big Brother, you have to learn how to behave."

Zhu Wei is naturally qualified to say that, what kind of person his eldest brother is, Zhu Wei has something to say.

Which of the other older brothers are fuel-efficient lamps, but they are extremely well-behaved in front of the eldest brother. They were taught a lesson since childhood, and the eldest brother is the real "elder brother is like a father".What's more, Zhu Wei also knows that his elder brother is naturally an emperor's disposition. The so-called elegance and tolerance are just illusions.

Zhu Yunwen's thoughts in the early years, and Lu's thoughts in the early years, can be seen from all the members of the clan.Even many civil servants think that Zhu Yunzheng is very good. Compared with Zhu Yunying, who does not pay attention to Confucianism and suppresses Confucianism in every possible way, Zhu Yunzheng is simply perfect, and must be more in line with the interests of Confucian scholars.

Zhu Yunying smiled and didn't speak. In the early years, she might still have a sense of urgency, but that was when she was not sensible.Just growing up a little bit, Zhu Yunying didn't take Lu Shi and Zhu Yunying seriously, and their little actions were regarded as a joke.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yunying is very generous now, and he doesn't treat Zhu Yunqi and the Lu family differently.

"The children of the clan all have some ideas." Zhu Yunying said, "It is common for ordinary people to fight for family property. It is not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other. Whether it is King Qin or King Jin, we all know about the affairs of Uncle Wu's family. It's just that we feel that Ah, this is not a good sign."

Zhu Wei was obviously more serious at this time, and it seemed that the little thoughts of the clan children made the emperor very unhappy.

Zhu Yunying continued, "Our Daming is very generous to the clan. We also know about the withdrawal of the clan, and the clan's reason is also a little displeased. We have no choice. Our Daming does not need the clan to sit in the place to gather military power now. If we don't withdraw the clan now, In the future, it is bound to withdraw, I am afraid that it will not be as peaceful as it is now."

For Zhu Yunying's words, Zhu Wei thinks there is some truth.

At the beginning, a few of them joined the vassal for the purpose of gathering military power from Wu Xun and defending Daming.

It's just that looking through the history books, there are some turmoil outside the vassal kings, which seems to be unavoidable.Even though the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were not like the military and political lords of the Western Han Dynasty, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty still had a certain amount of power after all. It was normal for the emperor to be more vigilant.

As for the cutting of feudal clans, Zhu Wei is actually not very happy, but he can only accept it obediently.

Even if he knew that this was the emperor Zhu Yunying's intention, on the surface it was Emperor Hongwu who made the decision.

Not to mention not daring to prick in front of Lao Zhu, even in front of Emperor Yingshi, Zhu Huan and others didn't dare to say anything more, and they would withdraw the feudal clan as soon as they were withdrawn.At least this nephew, the emperor, will give them glory and wealth, and the clan can still live comfortably and have a prominent position.

In the final analysis, the emperor's wrists were too strong, and the vassal king couldn't even have the slightest thought of resistance when facing the emperor.

Zhu Yunying continued, "Grandpa Huang treats the people of Ming Dynasty with magnanimity. We people of Ming Dynasty can reduce crimes by holding the "Da Gao" in hand. Grandpa Huang is doing this to let the people know the law and let the officials do it. Although Some scholars say that there are often things that are out of the norm, or are strict, but this is just to make people know and fear, and dare not break the law easily."

"Da Gao" can be regarded as the popularization of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are shortcomings, it is still an improvement.As for some people's objections, it is probably because they feel that the "Da Gao" has violated their interests.

Zhu Yunying continued, ""Da Gao" and "Da Ming Law" also use heavy codes to renew the world, so orders and prohibitions are taken carelessly. In Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, the laws and regulations were abolished, and there were many corruptions among the people, powerful landlords oppressing the people, and local ruffian bachelors. For the sake of disasters in the village, not to mention sweeping them away, but these things have also improved a lot.”

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Wei listened quietly. They might know some things, but as princes with sensitive identities.They may not know so much about many things. Their understanding of some things in the court is actually not as good as that of some civil and military officials.

Zhu Yunying's expression was still serious, and he said, "It's just that the emperor's grandfather is also afraid of disturbing the people, so there are many regulations. The military and civilian lawsuits must be presented from the bottom up, and there is a crime of violating the disorder. Severe punishment."

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Wei seem to understand that civil and military officials, common people and people are protected by the law of the Ming Dynasty.It's just that these clans should be restrained.Although the clan mansion is in charge, there are many things that cannot be just the clan mansion.

In the final analysis, the treatment of the Ming clan was so good that some clan children felt confident.

If it's just a dude like Zhu Yunxi, there is actually no big problem. The Ming Dynasty does not need every clan to be wise and virtuous.However, the clan's children should also be restricted, and they should not be allowed to do evil.

If the emperor starts to be serious, the lives of these clan children may not be as easy as before.
