The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 44 This kid can handle it
Suddenly, so suddenly.

Mrs. Lu was fine a few days ago, how could she be gone just like that?
Generally, the death of a princess does not cause much commotion.

But Zhu Biao was different. The deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not just blown away. His crown princess had a very high status.

The sudden death of such an important figure naturally shocked the government and the public. The topic once overshadowed the restart of the imperial examination and Zhao Mao's case.

All the ministers expressed their condolences one after another and persuaded the prince to express his condolences.

Zhu Biao's behavior was very strange. He was certainly sad, but he still refused to go to the coffin to see Lu.

The ministers didn't think much about it, they just thought that they were deeply in love as a couple and didn't want to face it.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed great regret and asked the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites to organize the funeral.

No one doubted the cause of the Crown Princess's death, and there was no news about it before.

Those who knew the truth also kept their mouths shut tightly and did not dare to let out any information.

When Mao Xiang learned about the Crown Princess, he was so frightened that he became paralyzed. He sat on the chair for a long time and could not stand up.

Since then, he has become much quieter and more restrained in his actions.

Chen Jingke was silent for a long time when he heard the news of the sudden death of Princess Lu.

He is not stupid, so he naturally does not believe in sudden death.

It can be said that the cause of her death was all because of herself.

Without her own operations, she would not have been suspected, and she would have successfully waited until Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne in her previous life.

And now everything has changed.

Who are the three most important people in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind?

There is no doubt that Queen Ma, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying.

Whenever there is anything suspicious, he will definitely get to the bottom of it.

There is no airtight wall in the world. As long as Lu has done anything, there will be clues.

Even if she hadn't done it, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious, it would be difficult for her to survive.

What I didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang would act so quickly and decisively.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the person who wins the world with one bowl at the beginning.

As for why the method of violent death was used instead of deposing the Crown Princess first and then killing her.

This is an easy guess, as family scandals should not be made public.

If the news spread that the Crown Princess had murdered the grandson, the dignity of the royal family would be shattered.

For Zhu Xiongying, it is also easy to cause psychological shadow.

It will also make the other concubines in the harem have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, which since then filled the Tang Dynasty's succession with blood.

Lao Zhu didn’t want Daming to become like this.

Moreover, the fact that Mrs. Lu was able to die with dignity probably had something to do with the situation of her natal family.

She has no brothers or sisters. She is the only daughter in the family. Her father Lu Ben died five years ago.

It can be said that she is the only one in the Lu family.

If there were still people in her natal family, Zhu Yuanzhang would never let her go so easily.

It is more likely that Zhao Mao's case was first used to drag down the entire Lu family, and then used this as an excuse to depose the crown princess.

In a few days, news will spread that the deposed crown princess committed suicide in shame.

Then a thin coffin was used.

Now at least she is buried as a princess.

Letting her die suddenly was probably partly to prevent the Huaixi group from rioting.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has been beating the Huaixi faction, everyone knows that as long as Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying are still alive, they will have a place in the court.

As a distinguished noble, the prerequisite for retiring with the country is the smooth succession of the throne.

To harm Zhu Xiongying would be to kill them. It would be strange if they didn't fight tooth and nail.

Although there are not many people left in Lu Ben's family, there are still relatives, teachers and students who are still there.

The Huaixi faction will kill all these people and shock everyone.

And they are likely to take this opportunity to expand their attack area and strengthen their own faction.This is what Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see.

After thinking about this, Chen Jingke had to sigh that politics was far more complicated than he thought.

In previous lives, many people were used to giving advice on the Internet, and they always felt that meat eaters were just like that and no better than themselves.

I can definitely do well if I sit in their position.

Only after actually coming into contact with top meat eaters did he realize that this was not the case at all.

If you really put a political novice in this position, you don't know how he died.

Fortunately, I got two amulets when I arrived, so I could observe and learn from a high place.

Otherwise, given my background and experience, I might as well just be a doctor and live a peaceful life.

As for Chen Jingke, whether he feels guilty or not, he is actually very complicated inside.

In this life, Ms. Lu felt a little guilty, and pushed her into the fire pit to protect herself.

But thinking about Zhu Yunwen in her previous life, I felt that she died well.

Zhu Xiongying was also shocked by Lu's sudden death. Although he did not show any special sadness, he also took the initiative to ask for mourning as his son.

Zhu Biao said nothing, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not object, and was even very pleased.

Chen Jingke was surprised and guessed the reason after a moment's thought.

Filial piety.

When a concubine in the harem died of illness, he asked Zhu Biao to wear sackcloth and show mourning.

Zhu Biao disagreed. It's not my mother who died. Now I don't know if I'm wearing mourning, but I thought it was for you.

Lao Zhu angrily chased him for several streets with a sword.

Does Zhu Yuanzhang really not know etiquette?

No, he knows, but he values ​​filial piety more.

The laws belong to the country.

Filial piety belongs to Lao Zhu’s own family.

Legally speaking, the status of concubines is not as noble as that of the prince, but as far as Lao Zhu's own family is concerned, the concubines are Zhu Biao's elders.

What happened to paying homage to the elders?
It was the same for Zhu Xiongying and Lu Shi.

On the surface, Lu died suddenly as a princess, and Zhu Xiongying, as a junior, should wear filial piety.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little hesitant about letting Zhu Xiongying wear it. After all, this vicious woman had tried to murder him.

But now that Zhu Xiongying took the initiative to wear it, he was only happy.

Our good grandson is really filial and sensible, just like us.

As his great-grandson's companion, Chen Jingke naturally had to accompany Zhu Xiongying to attend the funeral.

During this period, he finally met Zhu Yunwen, who was very cute and cute, but his eyes were full of fear.

Chen Jingke sighed, after all, he was only a five-year-old child.

While his father was busy with government affairs, his mother was everything to him, and now his harbor was gone.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether to let Zhu Xiongying take care of his younger brother.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Zhu Xiongying took the initiative to hold Zhu Yunwen's hand and protected him behind him.

"Don't be afraid, big brother is here."

Zhu Yunwen seemed to have found support, holding his hand tightly and not letting go.

He must have not slept for a long time, but he fell asleep after a while.

According to the rules, as a biological son, he cannot leave the mourning hall even if he falls asleep.

Zhu Xiongying asked someone to fetch a quilt, cover him with a quilt, and then knelt on his behalf.

All this fell into the eyes of the ministers, and they all praised the grandson for being pure and filial, and that he would be a wise king in the future.

The Huaixi faction was the happiest. It is said that when they mentioned this matter in a private gathering, they all said excitedly, "We have nothing to worry about."

Chen Jingke was also amazed. He knew very well that these were Zhu Xiongying's own actions and no one taught him.

This kid, so far, is capable.
