Chapter 265 Grandpa Emperor, I Love You To Death! (Still 1 1)

After Lao Zhu secretly sighed, he directly ordered someone to hand it over to the officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers nearby.

Everyone was far away from Lao Zhu's dragon chair, so they didn't hear the conversation between the two of them. In addition, a certain bad old man deliberately withheld the memo that Da Sun had written alone, and didn't show it to the civil servants below.

Therefore, when everyone saw that there was not a single comment in Zhu Yunxi's two memorials, one can imagine the joy in their hearts.

Many people thought disdainfully in their hearts, is this the grandson of the old emperor himself?

It's nothing more than mediocre!

The six books and nine ministers were all well-educated people, and they read the memorials very quickly. Whether it was Zhu Yunqi or Zhu Yunxie, the memorials reviewed were all requests from various places for disaster relief, but the two chose different places.

Zhu Yunxuan deliberately chose two places near Yingtian Mansion, one of which was reported by Zhenjiang as the river broke its embankment in summer and destroyed countless farmlands.In another place, Songjiang Prefecture reported that a typhoon had passed through the territory, destroying hundreds of houses, and asked the imperial court to allocate funds to relieve the disaster.

Zhu Yunxuan also lived up to expectations, and each memorial ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate funds for disaster relief, and to reduce the autumn tax of the two places and next year's summer tax.

After reading the memorabilia reviewed by the two of them, everyone exchanged glances and immediately understood.

It's just that when they looked at Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Zongli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they always looked away quickly, as if looking at them would make them dirty.

Chen Zongli glanced at Qin Kui complainingly, and Qin Kui shrugged helplessly.

In fact, Qin Kui was also quite disappointed.In his mind, based on Zhu Yunxi's ability to manage the workshop of the Weapons Bureau, the mere two reports of disasters should not trouble this "good grandson".

However, the reality was like a loud slap in the face, and his old face was swollen.

The four memorials were quickly passed on to Yang Xinlu, Gao Ming, and Qin Hengbo.

After the three of them hastily read the memorial reviewed by Zhu Yunqi, even if they were picky, they had to praise the good literary talent, good calligraphy, especially the handling of disaster relief, and they could be called a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness.

But when they saw Zhu Yunxi's two blank memorials, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shouldn't it be?

The third grandson has also studied with the three of them for a while, even if it is the first time he sees this kind of disaster relief memorial, he should know how to approve it, right?

Seeing that the three of them had finished reading it, Zhu Yan took the initiative to take the four copies of the memorial, first throwing two copies to Tang He, and then took two copies to read by himself.

However, as soon as he opened the memorial, he felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

"Is there something for Mr. Xin Guo?"

"The old man finished reading, please give me another copy!"

Zhu Fen was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't expect that the old man who couldn't read a basket could read the memorial so fast?
Zhu Yan handed the other copy to Tang He, while he continued to read Zhu Yunqi's comments.

From his prince's point of view, this batch of words can be regarded as quite satisfactory.If the prince and father are allowed to give instructions, that's how they will be dealt with.

However, when he opened the other two copies, he finally knew why Tang He read it so quickly.

After working on it for a long time, the other two memorials didn't have a single word of comment at all!

Zhu Yan read it over and over several times, until he was sure that there was no comment written on it, and then he threw the memorial on Tang He's lap with a grunt.

Old Zhu saw that everyone had traveled through it once, so he opened his mouth with malicious intentions.

"Have you all read the memorial written by the two grandsons?"

"Now I invite you to judge, which one of the memorials reviewed by the two grandsons is better!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhan Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was standing on the far left.

In principle, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments known as the official of heaven.

It's just that Zhan Wei is a cunning old man and never wants to stand out.The only time he came out was when he accompanied the prince to interrogate the prisoner, and he dealt with it too harshly, and had a few quarrels with the prince.

Therefore, there are always some bad comments in the market, saying that the prince is kind enough to see severe punishment, Zhan Wei deliberately punished the criminals severely in order to please the old emperor, and made the prince mad...

It was even rumored that the prince yelled during his serious illness, Zhan Weiye, the one who killed me, and ordered Zhu Yunxuan, who was waiting on the side, to let him succeed in the future to avenge himself.

Although these are groundless rumors, there must be someone in the palace who is dissatisfied with him, so there are so many rumors.

Under such gossip, Zhan Wei truly realized that silence is worse than ten thousand words.Especially with regard to the establishment of a reserve, even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said that Zhu Yunqi was virtuous and filial, he did not follow this trend.

Zhan Wei felt the eyes of everyone, and instinctively wanted to take a step back.But the Qianqing Palace was too small, and they stood too far back, and if they stepped back, they would have to step on the boots of the people behind them, so he bit the bullet and made nonsense.

"Your Majesty, I think the memorial reviewed by the second emperor's grandson is the best."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, secretly thinking that the old fox Zhan Wei had finally made a clear statement.

However, before the joy on everyone's faces dissipated, Zhan Wei spoke again.

"However, I feel that the treatment of the third emperor's grandson is the most appropriate."

"Although the memorandum is small, it is related to the rise and fall of the world and the prosperity of the people. Although the three emperors and grandsons did not say a word, it reflects his cautiousness and prudence in dealing with state affairs."

"At such an age, the third grandson knows how to be cautious about state affairs, not to be aggressive, not to fight. He is really wise and worthy of your majesty's praise of a good grandson!"

As soon as Zhan Wei said these words, the whole Qianqing Palace seemed to be blown up.Some officials yelled at him on the spot, saying that he is a flattering villain who can flatter him if he finds a crack.

When Yang Xinlu and the others heard this, their eyes lit up. They were struggling just now and didn't know how to help the third grandson get back together.Seeing that Zhan Wei has found a new way to clean up the land from the perspective of prudent governance, he feels as refreshed as eating ice in the dog days.

Zhu Yan was also shocked when he heard the words, and picked up the two blank memorials reviewed by his eldest nephew again to read them again, and couldn't help but wonder, his eldest nephew, who only knows how to write pornographic stories and catch toads, really thought of so much when he reviewed the memorials?

Only Lao Zhu was full of joy when he heard it, and felt that Zhan Wei had a good eye, and he hit the point right away.

You know, he only knew what Dasun was thinking when he heard Dasun say similar things with his own mouth, and saw Dasun make a separate statement on the paper.

However, Zhan Wei was able to think of this level just by relying on two blank memorials. This witty and quick-wittedness is worthy of the word "Heavenly Official".

"Your Majesty, Zhan Wei confuses black and white and talks nonsense. He is not worthy to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Your Majesty, please remove this person from his post and exile him in Yunnan..."

"Your Majesty, Zhan Wei, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, does not think of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, but only knows how to flatter and flatter. I am really ashamed of Your Majesty's Long En. Please kill this official..."

Lao Zhu nodded when he heard what the two said, and secretly wrote down the two in his notebook, thinking that in two days they would be sent to Yunnan to feed the insects.

"The two lovers tell me, how should we judge these memorials?"

When the two heard that His Majesty called "Ai Qing", they were so beautiful that their big nose bubbles almost popped out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the memorial reviewed by the second emperor's grandson is reasonable, benevolent and righteous, and should be number one this time!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Seconded!"

"Attach..."

Seeing so many people supporting him, Zhu Yunwen's heart that had gradually become quiet became eager again.Even the gaze that looked at Zhu Yunxi was a little more provocative.

However, what made him depressed was that Zhu Yunxi didn't look at him at all, his provocative gaze just provoked the atmosphere...

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Lao Zhu looked at his grandson beside him.

"Zhu Yunxi, come and explain to everyone why you don't care about it."

Zhu Yunxi knew that Grandpa Huang was deliberately giving himself a chance to show off, so he withdrew the statement he had written separately.

"promise!"

Zhu Yunxi stood up from his seat and said loudly to the officials standing below.

"My lords, the reason why I don't write a single ink is because I feel that the state affairs are onerous, so I dare not write casually."

"The dates on these two memorials are very close, which happened in the past few days. The emperor's grandfather didn't even write on it. He is just a mere emperor's grandson. How can He De dare to write on it?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, Zhu Yunqi's face turned pale instantly.Only then did he realize that he had made a big mistake unintentionally, a big mistake of frivolity and insecurity!
The officials who had just praised Zhu Yunxie for being virtuous and benevolent were all dumbfounded when they heard Zhu Yunxie's explanation.
The emperor didn't even write, so who would dare to scribble on it?
If the emperor really believed in this reason, then no matter how colorful Zhu Yunwen wrote, he would leave a frivolous and impetuous impression in His Majesty's heart!

It's just that when everyone thought of Zhan Wei's words just now, they all murmured in their hearts. Could this grandson be learning and selling now?

"In addition, I deeply feel that the memorial has a great responsibility. Any decision I make will affect the safety and fortune of tens of thousands of people. When I think of this, I feel that the pen in my hand weighs more than a thousand catties, and I dare not scribble on the memorial. Scribbled."

"So, Gu just chose another note and wrote down his confusion on the paper."

"If Gu's heart is confused and he can't get a clear answer, Gu will never dare to write on the memorial."

"Because Gu can't afford this responsibility, let alone the trust of the subjects of the world in Gu!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, before everyone had any reaction, Lao Zhu stood up excitedly from his chair, clapped his hands, and applauded Dasun.

"well said!"

"Although we have been in the country for more than [-] years, every time we face a memorial, we still feel as if there is a heavy burden on our shoulders."

"Many times, we have to look at a memorial of several hundred words for a day, and only dare to write after thinking about it."

"Because we know that every decision we make will involve the lives of tens of thousands of people in Daming, so there is no room for us to be careless."

As soon as Lao Zhu said these words, everyone below fell silent.

Does His Majesty mean something else?

Why does he dare not write casually? Isn't this a real blow to Zhu Yunqi's frivolity and not enough to rule the world?

However, what Zhu Yunxi said was really good, it can be said that there is no leakage, and no one can find any mistakes.

Even Zhao Mian and the others, who had never waited to see Zhu Yunxie, heard Zhu Yunxie's words, secretly said in their hearts that this son was thoughtful, and immediately grasped the key points of reviewing the memorial.

This is not to examine the two emperors and grandsons' comments on the memorial, it is clearly to examine the two people's hearts and attitudes towards state affairs!

However, some people were dissatisfied, thinking that His Majesty must have instructed Zhu Yunxie in advance to do this on purpose.

"Your Majesty, the words of the three emperors and grandsons are indeed reasonable. But you have said in the assessment place that the content of this assessment is to see who reviewed the memorial, which is reasonable and reasonable."

"The second emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi's comment is not inappropriate. It not only reflects his benevolence and righteousness, but also gives a clear plan for disaster relief. It can be said to be comprehensive and reasonable."

"Comparatively speaking, the actions of the three emperors and grandsons are suspected of being tricky. It's hard to say that they didn't think of this rhetoric in advance to deliberately confuse the public..."

This person was also saving face for Lao Zhu, he didn't directly say that Lao Zhu missed the questions himself, and secretly gave Zhu Yunxi a cheat sheet.

But even so, Lao Zhu was still so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over.

"What kind of a thing are you? How dare you suspect that we are deliberately helping Dasun and missing questions for Dasun!"

"Come here, drag this rebellious person down and beat him to death!"

Erhu was already at the door, gnashing his teeth angrily. Hearing the emperor's order, he didn't even greet his subordinates. He rushed in with two fists in his hands, and dragged Qiu Xuanqing out by the collar.

However, even though Qiu Xuanqing was dragged by the two tigers, he still kept roaring.

"Your Majesty, even if you kill the humble official, can you stop the people from all over the world?"

"Everyone in the government and the public knows that you brought the third grandson into the palace to be raised, and the third grandson lives with you all day long. Even if you hear and see some of your thoughts, it is normal to deliberately like you!"

The other officials who had good friends with Qiu Xuanqing saw Qiu Xuanqing being dragged out like a dead dog, and they also felt sad and hurt their kind, so they hurriedly knelt down to plead for him.

"Your Majesty, what Tai Changqing said is justified. Even if you kill Qiu Xuanqing, you won't be able to stop the mouths of the world, and you will only create more stigma for the Three Emperors!"

Gao Ming also stood up and interceded for this man.

"Your Majesty, this person's death is not a pity, but if because of this matter, this person's reputation of loyalty is fulfilled, then the gain will not be worth the loss, and it will make the world laugh at the third grandson."

When Lao Zhu heard Gao Ming's words, he immediately called Erhu to stop.

"Er Hu, let this man go!"

"promise……"

How could Erhu let this person go so easily, at that time he kicked this person a few times, cursing while kicking.

"Alas!"

"Why are you holding our hands, let go!"

"Boom!"

"Are you relaxed?"

"Boom!"

"If you don't let go, I'll still kick you!"

"Boom..."

Qiu Xuanqing was almost crying after being beaten, and his hands danced wildly in the air.

"I didn't catch you!"

"Look at this officer's hand, how has this officer ever caught you..."

Seeing this scene, a group of officials reprimanded Erhu for being bold on the spot, but Erhu still went his own way, insisting that Qiu Xuanqing would not let him go.Seeing that Qiu Xuanqing denied it himself, he deliberately grabbed Qiu Xuanqing's hand, as if he was entangled with him.

After the Erhu kicked him a few times, Lao Zhu stopped the attacking Erhu until the anger in his heart was released.

"Two tigers!"

Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Erhu kicked Qiu Xuanqing away, and then returned to stand guard outside the door.

When Lao Zhu saw Qiu Xuanqing whose nose was bruised and his face swollen by the two tigers, he finally felt a little more at ease.

"Qiu Xuanqing, how do you think we can convince the world and you?"

Qiu Xuanqing wiped away his tears and said bitterly.

"Your Majesty, I request you to ask the Three Emperors a few words in court. If the Three Emperors can answer you, I will be convinced!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt displeased again, regretting that he had shouted too early, and that Erhu should have kicked him a few more times.

Although Lao Zhu knew that Zhu Yunxi was smart, Zhu Yunxi was still young after all, and had never been in contact with court affairs. How could he be their opponent who had been an official for many years?

He was afraid that if Zhu Yunxi was not careful, he would follow someone else's way, and even if he wanted to protect it, it would be too late.

However, just as he was thinking this way, Zhu Yunxi stood up from his chair.

"Grandfather, grandson is willing to give it a try!"

"Zhu Yunxi, you have to think it over before you talk, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"Grandfather, don't worry, grandson knows it well!"

Seeing what Dasun said, Lao Zhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.

"All right!"

"Come and answer Qiu Xuanqing's questions."

Zhu Yunxi bowed to Qiu Xuanqing when he heard the words.

"Ask this lord to ask a question!"

Qiu Xuanqing coughed on purpose, and then said with his head held high like a general going to war.

"May I ask the grandson of the third emperor, what do you think of the two disaster reports from Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion?"

Zhu Yunxi said calmly when he heard the words.

"Insufficient information to judge."

"The distance between these two places is not far, but one said that the hailstorm in his territory may affect the collection of autumn taxes, and asked the court to reduce or exempt it."

"The other said that locusts gnawed on the crops, causing some people to lose their crops, and asked the court to reduce part of the tax so that the people can recuperate."

"First of all, I don't know the exact details of the two places, so I have no way of judging whether there are hail and locust plagues in the two places."

"Secondly, I don't know the character and past experience of the two prefects, so I have no way of judging whether what they said is true or not."

"In the end, the two were vague in their memorial. For example, in the memorial of the prefect of Baoding, it was said that the hail fell and the grains were not harvested. But he did not write how big the hail was, nor did he write how long the hail lasted, let alone the area covered by the hail. Does it cover the entire territory of Baoding Prefecture, or just a certain county in Baoding Prefecture?"

"In addition, hail usually occurs in the seasons when spring and summer intersect. This is the time of summer and autumn, not the season of frequent hail."

"Another point is that the coverage of hail is often small, and most of the time it is only limited to a few miles. Large-scale hail is rare."

"Therefore, even if Baoding Mansion's memorial is not fake, it is exaggerated on the basis of certain facts, and it is suspected of defrauding the imperial court for tax reduction or exemption."

"There is also a problem with the memorial of the Hejian Mansion. Locust plagues often cover the sky and cover several provinces, and rarely gather in one place. If only part of the crops in the crop field are eaten, they will urgently write to the court to request To suppress disasters, where did the imperial court’s taxes come from? If the imperial court cannot receive taxes, how can it maintain operations, resist foreign aggression, and protect the country and the people?”

"Gu neither has the great talent and generality of the emperor's grandfather, nor is he like the emperor's grandfather who has governed the country for many years. He is as clear about the human geography of the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty as the palm of his hand, and he is not as good as the emperor's grandfather. So understanding. How do you let me rely on a few words in the memorial to believe that what they said is true, instead of pretending to be a disaster and defrauding the court of disaster relief money?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's long speech came out, everyone in the palace was stunned.

Even Qiu Xuanqing, who questioned Zhu Yunxi, was shocked by Zhu Yunxi's words when he saw that Zhu Yunxi was so organized and didn't stutter a word.

Regardless of this son's talent and thinking, but his thoughtfulness, if he becomes the emperor in the future, he must be a more difficult master than the old emperor!

Others had similar thoughts. They were shocked by Zhu Yunxi's sharp words and quick thinking, and also shocked by his meticulous mind, which could analyze so many things through just a few words.

Combined with this son's age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is born a sage.

It's just a pity that such a good talent fell to the third emperor's grandson...

Zhu Bian didn't have as many worries as they did. Seeing his nephew speak so wonderfully, he clapped his hands and cheered on the spot.

"Eldest nephew said it well!"

"This is the embryo of a born emperor!"

"If you are led by the nose in everything, then you are still a fart emperor. You might as well set fire to the palace and find a temple to be a monk!"

These words are more or less outrageous, and even have the suspicion of cursing the emperor.

Old Zhu glared at Zhu Bian fiercely, and then followed suit to applaud the eldest grandson.

"Great grandson!"

"We'll have to see this time, who dares to question that we gave the grandson a little trouble!"

"Let's say something embarrassing, what our grandson just said, there are some things we can't even think of!"

"If we hadn't listened to our grandson's words, none of us would have known that hailstorms often occur at the intersection of spring and summer..."

When everyone heard what the old emperor said, whether they wanted it or not, they could only bite the bullet and praise it.

"The third emperor's grandson is thoughtful, and he is really a rare and virtuous king..."

"Three Emperor Sun Xianming!"

Lao Zhu listened to everyone's praise, he didn't care whether they were sincere or against their will, he just felt indescribably happy.

That nianzi Zhu Fen had a right saying, if you are led by the nose in everything you do when you become an emperor, then you should still be an emperor!

The reason why Lao Zhu likes this grandson is that he has his own opinions and won't let others manipulate him!
To put it bluntly, if he, the emperor's grandfather, wanted to manipulate his grandson, he would have to draw a bastard on his face, let alone others?

Only by entrusting Daming to such a person can he close his eyes with peace of mind.

Gao Ming and the other three were even more excited when they heard Zhu Yunxie's words. Gao Ming himself even shed tears, feeling that he was lucky in his three lives to be able to teach such a wise and enlightened sage!

"His Majesty!"

"My minister came out to say a fair word, what the grandson of the Three Emperors said just now, even the old man couldn't teach it!"

"This is the talent of the Three Emperors Sun Tianzong, the capital of heaven and man, and has nothing to do with the three rotten woods such as Weichen. I dare not covet the achievements of heaven!"

Old Zhu was even happier when he heard this, he hugged his eldest grandson excitedly, and looked down at the people below.

"Do you still have any objections?"

"I have no objection!"

"The talent of the Three Emperors and Sun Tianzong!"

"Your Majesty has such a good grandson, it is really a blessing for the hundreds of millions of people in Daming!"

"Hahaha!"

Amidst the congratulatory sounds of the crowd, there was also Old Zhu's night owl-like laughter in the hall.

After Lao Zhu laughed, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Zhu Yunqi. Zhu Yunqi felt the emperor's gaze, and his whole body trembled with fright.

"Yun Wen, how do you compare with your brother?"

"Grandpa Huang, the third younger brother is a talent from heaven, and the grandson has no intention of fighting."

"This morning, my grandson wrote a letter requesting to join the feudal clan. It was really a thought from the bottom of my heart. I didn't have any other distracting thoughts. I hope Grandpa Huang will make it happen!"

Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction when he heard what Zhu Yunwen said.

"Ok!"

"We know you are a good boy, and you won't have other ideas because of this."

"But someone is right. After all, you have been the grandson of the emperor for so many years. We have to give you a fair chance to fight and let you understand where you are. You are not like some people who only secretly You can say that we are eccentric!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words obviously meant something else, but Zhu Yunqi couldn't bear the words, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Grandpa Huang, grandson must never dare to think like this!"

"Grandson knows that he is far inferior to the third brother in terms of talent and ability, and grandson realized it as early as when he was studying in Dahontang."

"Grandson studies hard every day, but no matter how hard grandson works, he is far behind his third brother in reading..."

Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lao Zhu unexpectedly.

"okay!"

"Don't be too modest, you are also a very good boy."

"Even so, in order to show that our bowl of water is equal, we still have to give you a chance."

"We will give you and Zhu Yunxi each a fief, and let the two of you govern alone, to test your governance level."

It seems that Lao Zhu said this to Zhu Yunqi, but he actually said it to the officials kneeling below.

Although he didn't have many officials summoned today, he also included six parts of the nine ministers, which can be regarded as a reduced version of the imperial court.

In addition, Zhu Yan represents the royal clan, and Tang He represents the military general Xungui.

There are also three masters of Zhu Yunxi, who can represent Jiangnan Shilin.

From this point of view, the people in the main hall at this time can be said to have included the nobles of the royal family, the ruling and the opposition.

All the officials thought that His Majesty the Emperor would appoint the grandson of the Emperor on the spot, but they didn't expect such unexpected joy, so they didn't need to communicate with each other, and they directly called His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this method is the best. It can not only temper the two grandsons, but also make them feel the pressure and grow up faster!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Hearing the voice of the crowd shouting Shengming, Lao Zhu could only sneer in his heart.

I'm Shengming's fart, I'm just coaxing you to play!

Even if our eldest grandson manages the fief into a mess, we can clean it up for him!

Of course, Lao Zhu just thought about these words in his heart, so he wouldn't say them out.

Because he also wants to put some pressure on Dasun, let Dasun know that he is not as sure as a certainty, so that he can work harder to learn from the three gentlemen!
As for the fiefdom, it's just Lao Zhu's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Just to fool God, so as not to be jealous of talents.He also fooled the civil and military officials, which is an explanation for them.

As long as he is unhappy, he can cancel it at any time, and canonize it as the grandson of the emperor at any time.At that time, if someone dares to stop, hehe, let him see if our knife is fast!
"Come on, bring up our map!"

Following Lao Zhu's order, several eunuchs immediately came out carrying a huge map and spread it out on the floor of the hall.

When everyone saw this scene, they all took a deep breath.

Is His Majesty the Emperor planning to distribute the enfeoffment on the spot?
Lao Zhu carried his grandson down the steps, stepped on the map and walked to the edge of "Fengyang", put his grandson down, and pointed to the location of Fengyang.

"Dasun, wherever you like, put Wu Wangyin, that place will be your fief!"

A discerning person can see this posture and know that the old emperor wants the third emperor's grandson to choose Fengyang.

After all, Fengyang has a detached status in Daming, not only is it the place where His Majesty's dragon flourishes, but also the mausoleum of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty is in Fengyang.

Another point is more important, that is, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to move the capital to Fengyang several times.For this reason, a palace, a city, an imperial temple and other facilities were built in Fengyang.

It can be said that compared with the imperial palace in Jinling, the one in Fengyang is the full blood version, and it is the imperial palace built by the old emperor with great effort.

In fact, Lao Zhu has been thinking about moving the capital since he established Jinling as his capital, but the land of Fengyang is really too small to be the capital of a country, so he stopped construction for a while.

But even so, Lao Zhu still designated Fengyang as the "central capital", and often sent princes to worship ancestors and train soldiers.

Lao Zhu placed Dasun beside Fengyang City, hoping that Dasun could see the big red circle on Fengyang City, and put Wu Wangyin in the circle by the way.

However, Zhu Yunxi doesn't have Fengyang in his eyes.He first looked at the Great Wall to the north, then turned around to look at the stretching coastline of Daming, and finally chose Stars and Seas.

When Lao Zhu saw Da Sun rushing to the beach, he was so angry that he coughed on the spot.

"Da Sun, you can let it go after you think about it!"

Zhu Yunxi was thinking about where to put it, and his feet were on the border of Songjiang Mansion. Hearing this, he stopped immediately, wondering if the emperor wanted me, and wanted me to be humble first?
"Grandfather, grandson thinks that the second brother is older, so he should let the second brother choose first!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, the smile on his face immediately froze.But Dasun had already said it, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

"Yun Wen, your brother has the virtue of Kong Rong giving pears, so you should choose a place first."

Zhu Yunxuan really wanted to become a feudal clan, and when he heard this, he came to the map happily on the spot, took off a jade pendant on his body, and put it in the big red circle in Fengyang.

He has been thinking about this place for a long time, and there is only one reason, the palace here is ready-made.

If I move in with Xiaoman, I don't need to bother to build the palace, I can move in directly.

Moreover, the people in Fengyang are rich and prosperous, so being a prince there couldn't be better.

However, upon seeing this, Lao Zhu coughed a few more times.

"Yun Wen, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

"what?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to cry. Didn't Grandpa Huang agree just now, this time I want a bowl of water to be flattened!

Why did I just choose a place, and Grandpa Huang just "pointed" himself, woo woo woo...

However, Zhu Yunwen really likes Fengyang, and only wants to go there to be a prince of peace.

Now that he heard that Grandpa Huang was dissatisfied with his choice, he also lost his temper, and immediately stood aside from a distance.

"Grandpa Huang, although the third younger brother has the virtue of Kong Rong giving up pears, but the grandson is older, so he should give in to the younger brother."

"So let the third brother choose first, and the third brother choose the remaining grandchildren!"

Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction when he heard this, then called Zhu Yunxi over, and tapped on the boundary of Fengyang with his feet.

"Big grandson, your second brother told you to pick first, so you have to choose carefully. Don't let your second brother down!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the emperor's grandfather who kept tapping his feet, and then at his own sea of ​​stars, and fell into hesitation for a while.

Old Zhu was so obvious, if he couldn't see Lao Zhu's intentions, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

But he really looked down on Fengyang!

This dilapidated place has no front and back, lives in the interior, and the traffic is not good. It is really not a place to do business.

Therefore, after some entanglement, he resolutely put Wu Wangyin in Songjiang Mansion.

"Grandpa, grandson likes this place!"

"If you are not willing, then grandson can go to Guangzhou!"

Zhu Yunxi said while aiming in the direction of Guangzhou.Both of these places are suitable for harbors, and they are good natural harbors.

Songjiang Mansion is the estuary of the Yangtze River, and the goods at sea can be easily sold to all parts of Daming relying on the Yangtze River water transport.

Guangzhou is also good, plus there is a small broken island.

When Zhu Yunxi thought that he could own the entire Hong Kong Island, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

This is much better than Li Bancheng of later generations, we are now Zhu Quancheng!

Lao Zhu was not willing to let his grandson run so far, thinking that Songjiang Mansion was very close to the capital, but only a day or two away, so he bit the bullet and agreed.

"Fine!"

"Since you have taken a fancy to Songjiang Mansion, then I will reward you with the whole Songjiang Mansion!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't feel the benefits of being born in the royal family until this moment.

Good guy, a huge Songjiang Mansion, if you say reward, you will be rewarded?

As expected of Grandpa Huang, he speaks arrogantly!
"Grandfather, I love you to death!"

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed, and rushed to Lao Zhu's body, and was so shocked that Lao Zhu hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug the little Nisun.

However, before he could hold his hand firmly, he felt his face was bitten by a puppy.

"MUA!"

"MUAMUAMUA..."

Lao Zhu was originally full of resentment, but with Dasun's pecking mouthfuls one after another, the resentment disappeared in an instant and was replaced by joy.

No matter what the grandson chooses, as long as the kid is happy, he, the grandfather, will be happy, hahaha!
When Lao Zhu was making out with his eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen's heart was full of sourness.

How he wished that the person hanging on his grandfather was himself, but even if his grandfather bent down, he didn't dare to wrap his hands around his grandfather's neck, let alone be so presumptuous on his grandfather.

But when he thought that his wish was about to come true, he also became happy.

"Grandfather, can the grandson choose now?"

"Choose!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he hurriedly put his jade pendant in Fengyang's red circle.

"Grandpa, the grandson has been chosen!"

Old Zhu looked down and saw that Zhu Yunqi had chosen Fengyang, he felt a little upset.

"You will choose the place!"

"Uh uh..."

"If Grandpa Huang doesn't like it, then grandson can change another place..."

Lao Zhu waved his hands indifferently.

"Do not bother."

"You deserve this place!"

As soon as Lao Zhu's words came out, Zhu Yunxuan's heart was a little excited, and some of the officials watching the excitement were also faintly agitated.

The emperor said just now that "he can afford it", didn't he recognize that the second emperor's grandson is actually the emperor's eldest grandson?

But when everyone thought of the attitude of the old emperor just now, the heat that had finally risen in their hearts suddenly cooled down.

What assessment is not assessed, performance is not performance, in the final analysis, it is not a matter of the old emperor's words.

If the old emperor insists on establishing Zhu Yunxi, who in this world can stop him?
Seeing that the two grandsons of the emperor had chosen fiefdoms, Lao Zhu bestowed the title on Zhu Yunqi on the spot—King of Wan!
The next step is to prepare for the ceremony of conferring the king, and by the way, implement a few changes that were discussed before.

Zhu Gui, king of Yu, was changed to Daijun and Daiwang.

Zhu Li, king of the Han Dynasty, was renamed Ganzhou and named King Su.

Wei Wang Zhu Zhi was changed to Guangning and Liao Wang.

These three little ones cried so miserably on the day they became kings that no one could persuade them.

Only Zhu Yunqi was full of joy, feeling that he had finally picked a good place.

However, his joy only lasted for a while, before he was beaten up black and blue by three envious and jealous Wang Shu in the corner behind the Taimiao.

Originally Zhu Yunxi also wanted to join in the fun, but Lao Zhu completely forgot about him, and he didn't even bother to rewrite a copy of the imperial decree.

There is no way, Zhu Yunxi, the actual "king of Shanghai", can only hang around in the name of a king of Wu.

As for wanting to leave the capital and join the feudal clan, there is no way.

Lao Zhu seemed to have forgotten this, and never mentioned the matter of Jiufan.

If I was in a hurry, I said I would wait until Zhu Guicheng finished the marriage.

Zhu Yunxi was so depressed in his heart, looking at the direction of the sea all day long, longing to return to the embrace of the sea.

A month later, the delivery date of the lucky boat that Zhu Yunxi ordered from a Fujian businessman finally arrived.

Zhu Yunxi went to the pier to inspect his fleet in person. More than a dozen huge lucky boats lay across the Yangtze River, which brought great impact to the people on both sides of the strait.

This incident even alarmed the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the Jinling Navy Guards came to inspect.

Because these ships are really too big, each one is more than ten feet long and three feet wide, looking from a distance, it looks like a towering tower.

Compared with these lucky boats, the warships of the imperial navy are like a big bathtub with two oars on it, which is more ridiculous and ridiculous.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have big ships, but many warships were useless after the Battle of Poyang Lake, and the court was unwilling to spend money to maintain them. Decades later, they had already rotted into a pile of rotten wood.

Therefore, the remaining warships are the smaller, cheap, durable and easy-to-maintain ships among the Cangshan ship and the fire dragon ship.

The commander of the Jinling Navy and Ma Sizai, the soldiers of Wucheng, learned that this was the private property of the King of Wu, so they asked for money to withdraw the troops on the spot, not even thinking of asking for a red envelope.

Zhu Yunxi was also very happy to see his warship, and rewarded Chen Hai, the owner of Fujian Shipyard, 3000 taels of silver on the spot, which was regarded as his hard work in building the ship.

Chen Hai is not short of this kind of money, but he is still very happy for the face given by King Wu.

Not only did he enthusiastically introduce the ship, but he also expressed his desire to seek refuge in his words.

Zhu Yunxi naturally saw his careful thinking, but he didn't know this person very well, so he didn't dare to give him a clear answer.

"His Royal Highness, the warships are brought here for you, but I wonder if you have the right manpower to control these ships?"

"If His Highness King Wu is short of people, I still have some contacts in Fujian, and I can introduce you to one or two."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"There is no shortage of personnel, the main thing is the lack of a few coaches."

"You don't have to think about introducing people from the rivers and lakes to Gu, just find a few nephews from your Chen family who can handle boats, and let them help Gu train manpower!"

Originally, Chen Hai was a little disappointed when he heard King Wu said that there was no shortage of people. He felt that he had lost an opportunity to get closer to King Wu.

However, upon hearing His Highness King Wu's last words, Chen Hai's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly kowtowed to King Wu three times.

"Caomin thank His Highness King Wu for his great kindness!"

"His Royal Highness, please don't worry, Caomin will definitely select outstanding children from the clan to help His Royal Highness train soldiers!"

Seeing that Chen Hai was so upright, Zhu Yunxi had a higher opinion of this person in his heart.

The reason why he didn't want Chen Hai to introduce outsiders was because he didn't want to lose control of the fleet.

Now this fleet can already be regarded as the most powerful naval division of Ming Dynasty, if it cannot be firmly controlled by oneself, it would be as good as being set on fire.

As for the fleet's soldiers, it's simple. There are more than 2 military households in Jinyiwei. Who doesn't have a few half-children?
As long as I let out the wind, those who want to board the boat can step through their own threshold...

Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't built a palace yet, strictly speaking I don't have my own home yet.

After Zhu Yunxi inspected his fleet, he called Xu Liuzi that day and asked him to go to several guards of Jinyiwei to greet him.

Xu Liuzi agreed with all his heart, and before evening, he recruited a thousand young and strong young men for him.

These people are all children of Jinyiwei military households, but military households were quite valuable in the early Ming Dynasty. Each household can only have one person in the army, which can be described as a carrot and a pit.

In addition, Jinyiwei is a good place, how many people want to squeeze in but can't squeeze in.

Therefore, in military households with many sons, the parents often lose all their hair in order to figure out a way out for other sons.

Now I heard that there is a shortage of people on King Wu's side, not to mention just going to the sea, they have to keep up even going down the knife mountain.

What's more, His Royal Highness King Wu returned the money. As long as he was selected, he would get two taels of silver every month. If he made meritorious service, there would be additional rewards.

This kind of treatment is already more favorable than the serious Jinyi guards in Fusi of Nanbei Town.

Zhu Yunxi recruited 200 people from Jinyiwei's "compound" without any effort.

After dividing them into twelve hundred households according to the Ming military system, Zhu Yunxi left them alone.

Every day let them follow the people brought by Chen Hai to learn how to steer the boat, and get familiar with water properties and so on.

Occasionally, Chen Hai led them to take a stroll around the sea and test sailing along the coastline.

All in all, Zhu Yunxi's naval training went very smoothly, without anyone disturbing him, and there was not even a splash in the hall.

The only bad thing is that the bad old man keeps an eye on him, as long as he is on the shore, he will be done, and he can do whatever he likes.But as soon as he got on the boat, dozens of Jin Yiwei would come out to follow, for fear that his little grandson would be blown away by the wind.

After another month, when the naval division finally completed the sea trial training and returned to the voyage smoothly, Zhu Yunxi's heart grew grass again.

How can you think of a way to slip away from the bad old man's nose?

Qianqing Palace.

As usual, after Lao Zhu finished approving the memorial, he called Er Hu over for questioning.

"Is that little Nisun still wandering around those broken ships all day recently?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the young master seldom boards the boat recently. According to the Jin Yiwei who followed, the young master has recently liked going to the Imperial Academy. He goes to the Imperial Academy every day to monitor the lectures of great Confucianists."

"Oh?"

Lao Zhu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, it is a demon, and Xiao Nisun took the initiative to read books and called it hell!
"Send more people these two days, and keep an eye on him. Don't let him board the boat!"

"promise!"

As soon as Erhu agreed, he saw Qin Deshun rushing in.

"Reporting to the emperor, something is wrong. The servants just came back and reported that His Royal Highness the Third Emperor and his grandson, together with King Dai, King Su, and King Liao, went out to sea by boat!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he stood up from his chair in shock on the spot, and looked out the door with a face full of disbelief.

Erhu also had a dazed look on his face, thinking it was impossible, his people were staring at the third emperor's grandson every day, how could he let him go to sea?
　In principle, the next chapter should be the third volume, so I won’t divide it up, so I’ll mention it here.

　　Thanks also for the reward of 1 taels of silver for "Walking Between Light and Darkness"!

　　My emperor is the most handsome, my emperor is awesome!
