Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 719 The end of the trip to Fengyang
  Zhu Xuan has passed this test, and there will be nothing in Fengyang.

If Zhu Yuanzhang refuses to let go, their fate will still not be very good. Whether they can be completely forgiven depends on the unkindness of Lao Zhu Ren.

"Your Highness, what shall we do?"

Xie Qing could also think of His Majesty's punishment and asked quickly.

Zhu Xuan said with a smile: "You ask me? Who should I ask? You regret it now, but when you did this, did you think of the regret you have today?"

They were all silent again.

It was profitable at first, who would regret it?

I just want to get the benefits before talking about anything else.

It was actually okay for them to be punished in Fengyang, as long as their brothers, relatives, and those with official positions in Beijing were not implicated, otherwise the family would really have nothing.

"I just came back to worship my ancestors. If you want to know if anything is okay, you can go directly to the capital and ask my grandpa Huang."

Zhu Xuan's words caused them to remain silent.

I didn't even dare to go to the capital to see Lao Zhu and give them a water tank.

"Okay, you guys go back!"

Zhu Xuan waved and said.

They couldn't get the results they wanted, but they had to retreat first. It was kind of Zhu Xuan to do this.

After driving away these people, Zhu Xuan shook his head.

Originally, I wanted to take a rest when I came back to Fengyang to worship my ancestors. I worked hard in the palace and my body was easily overwhelmed, but I couldn't get any rest when I came back. This happened because of the negligence of the imperial court.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Zhu Xuan like this, Tie Xiuying felt distressed and said: "Relax first, we have worshiped our ancestors, and then we can go back slowly."

The wives still feel sorry for themselves.

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "We can't go back slowly. Ying Tian must have a lot of things waiting for me to go back to deal with. Grandpa Huang is old and his body can't be too tired. I have to go back as soon as possible to help Grandpa Huang relieve some pressure."

They can understand this.

It is indeed good to have supreme power, but behind the power comes great responsibility!
  The matters concerning the fields and the Buddhist temple were temporarily put aside by Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan waited for another two days in Fengyang, and the people from the Ministry of Rites finally prepared the items for ancestor worship.

The last time Zhu Xuan worshiped his ancestors was an impromptu event, with nothing prepared and no officials from the Ministry of Etiquette bringing it. The formal ceremony was carried out more casually, but now everything is fine.

Zhu Xuan changed into formal clothes and came to the ancestral home of the old Zhu family. He looked at the place where the ancestors of the Zhu family were buried. He first knelt down and paid homage. Then he performed a series of rituals according to the arrangements of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then recited the sacrificial inscriptions. Waited again.

As the grandson concubine, Mu Yuanjun also came to pay homage to her ancestors, just like Zhu Xuan.

Xu Miaojin and the others had not yet passed through, so it was not suitable to appear here, so they could only stay in the government office and wait.

When everything was over, Zhu Xuan led everyone down the mountain.

Before leaving, he turned back and took a look at the mountain.

"We descendants of the Zhu family will definitely defend the Ming Dynasty and the Han people, and will not cause various tragedies in the next few hundred years!" Zhu Xuan was thinking in his heart.

I hope that future descendants of the Zhu family can shoulder this responsibility.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Xuan said again.

The ritual of worshiping ancestors is very complicated and cumbersome.

It starts in the morning and ends in the afternoon.

When he returned to the government office, Zhu Xuan saw that Xu Miaojin and the others had already prepared lunch for him.

"Your Highness, when will we go back?"

Xu Miaojin asked.

Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said: "When we go back tomorrow, Hou Xian will send someone to inform Duke Xin that I will take Duke Xin back tomorrow and rest for a while. Grandpa Huang will definitely agree."

Had lunch.

Yan Guan came to report on the work situation again.

Those nobles who were willing to pay taxes prepared money, grain, cloth, etc. and began to transport truckloads of goods to Yingtian in an attempt to save their lives and did not want to be severely punished.

"They are so afraid of death!"

Zhu Xuan ignored them and let them pay taxes. Time passed quickly and it was time to go back.

"Your Highness!"

Tang Fu simply packed a few clothes and followed Zhu Xuan back to Beijing, but he was still weak and had many people taking care of him. He also brought a lot of medicine on the carriage, worried that he would be overworked on the road and his condition would worsen. , you can take the medicine at any time, and said: "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness."

Zhu Xuan originally wanted to go back as soon as possible, but with Tang Fu in the team, he couldn't get up quickly even if he wanted to.

Sick people need to be cared for.

"Trust me, Lord, no need to be too polite."

"On the way back, it was a tiring journey."

"If there is any discomfort, Duke Xin must bring it up!"

Zhu Xuan warned.

Tang Fu naturally knew, and nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Their team officially set off and headed back to Yingtian.

-

in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just met a group of descendants of those nobles who served in Beijing.

Or they took the initiative to seek an audience and went to the palace to confess their crimes.

The news about Dingyuan has long been reported back to the capital. Those nobles who know their own affairs have no choice but to come over and beg for mercy if things get serious and are very detrimental to them.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not say that he would forgive them, nor did he say that he would not forgive them. He just waved his hand and drove them away.

Looking at the list that Zhu Xuan had sent back from Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry.

He did treat the old friends who conquered the world very favorably and rewarded them with a lot of land.

But the better we treat them, the more their descendants will act indiscriminately, violate their own government orders, and even annex a lot of land. This is what Lao Zhu does not want to see.

"If it weren't for my good grandson, we wouldn't have discovered so many inside stories!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart and asked: "Is the sacrifice of my dear grandson to his ancestors completed?"

Jiang Wei bowed and said: "It's done, His Highness is already on his way back."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's good to come back. We still need to discuss some things with my good grandson, but you keep an eye on those nobles and tell them not to mess around. In addition, send someone to check the Buddhist temples, starting from Jiming Temple outside. .”

He didn't believe that all Buddhist temples were clean.

That Jiming Temple, their abbot Yuankong doesn't look like a clean person.

A carrot and a pit.

As long as you look it up, you can find out a lot of inside information.

"The minister takes orders!"

Jiang Wei said solemnly.

When he retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "None of those people can make us worry. Our good grandson is the best."

In his eyes, Zhu Xuan is better than anyone else.

"His Majesty!"

Yun Qi said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson this time. If His Highness hadn't accidentally discovered it, we wouldn't have known about the dark side of Ming Dynasty's tax reform, and there are so many unknown secrets hidden there."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Thanks to my dear grandson."

After a pause, he said again: "Let Guo Hui come over!"

When the good grandson comes back from worshiping his ancestors, he should consider getting married again.

Of course, the more grandsons-in-law, the better, so there will be more such little great-grandchildren.

Concubine Guo Hui will make arrangements for marriage proposals, sending betrothal gifts and other matters, and it is more appropriate to do it together with the Ministry of Etiquette. The same is true when the concubine enters the palace.

"We should be able to hold our little great-grandson soon."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, his tone full of expectation.
