golden scales

Zhu Cihong led Aimee Zhu out of the room, turned around and said, "My mother is hungry after crying for so long, you can ask the kitchen to cook some meat porridge and send it in."

"Yes, Brother Huang." Aunt Zhu blessed Fushen and gritted her teeth lightly.

Zhu Cihuang saw that Auntie Zhu was hesitant to speak, so she asked, "But what do you want to say?"

"Brother Huang," Zhu Yu couldn't help but said, "Brother Shicai is too much towards the Queen Mother?"

Zhu Cihong didn't expect his younger sister to say this, he was stunned for a full second, and then said: "Uncle Jiading's new funeral, the queen mother must be very sad, all the benefits of Uncle Jiading are in her mind, and the more you think about it, the more sad you will be. .As a brother, this is also helping the empress to get out of her sorrow, and it is only good for the empress."

Auntie Zhu frowned: "Brother Huang is so unreasonable! How can you explain it like this? You will only make the empress more sad when you talk about it, and even the sorrow can only be suppressed in her heart."

"No, my brother is very experienced in understanding people." Zhu Cihong was full of confidence, and secretly said: Brother is studying people, so why can't we handle such a trivial matter?Isn't it just a simple psychological intervention!

Auntie Zhu couldn't agree with this at all, after thinking about it, she still said: "I'll go in to accompany my mother."

Zhu Cihong called to his sister: "Wait, I actually have something to tell you."

"Brother Huang, what other instructions do you have?" Kun Xing stopped, his face was cold, obviously annoyed at what Brother Huang did.

"Do you like children?" Zhu Cihong asked: "Back then, I took in many orphans for my brother's epidemic prevention and relief in the capital. Shen Tingyang was really reliable in his work, and even a lot of them were transported to Laizhou. At the beginning, we only found a few eunuchs He Xiucai takes care of them, if you want to relax, find something to do, how about being the King of Kids?"

Orphans are the best people to use in starting a team.No family to care about, raised since childhood.It's like a blank sheet of paper that allows you to paint on your own.Years of brainwashing can also ensure that children will be loyal and unswerving until death, which is really the trump card of careerists.There is a saying that it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The cultivation of talents does not happen overnight. Zhu Cihong is already at his wits end, and the fact that he is distracted by orphans is a bit powerless.

If you let outsiders do this kind of thing.One is afraid of being careless, and the other is afraid that doves will occupy the magpie's nest, so I have made wedding clothes for others with all my painstaking efforts.Those Yuan Fans in the royal family must not be able to use them, and among the younger siblings, only Kun Xing is fifteen years old, who is considered a big girl.In the homes of ordinary people, a 15-year-old girl already has to undertake a lot of housework and can be treated as an adult.

Auntie Zhu really has been holding back in this small house for a long time, escaped from the palace all the way, and has long wanted to see the outside world.Listen to what my brother said.He responded readily, "I'm willing to go, but I'm afraid I can't do well."

"The orphan camp has already had regulations. After you go there, just follow the regulations." Zhu Cihong said: "Just be kind to these children, they are poor people without parents."

"Obey!" Kun Xing exclaimed excitedly, then turned his hand and pushed open the door of his mother's room, already impatient to share this novel news with his mother.

Seeing that his sister was so happy, Zhu Cihong was naturally overjoyed.If you can settle down your younger siblings while reducing your workload, and even find out the way out for the future suzerain.Undoubtedly a big gain.Many people in later generations have explained that the emperor's vassals are like raising pigs, ignorant and incompetent.As long as you don't rebel, it's just a waste of food, but it's not necessarily true.

In the Ming Dynasty, the children of the clan did not have a way to get ahead.Before Wanli, there was only one narrow road in the clan mansion.During the Wanli period, Zheng Shizi Zhu Zaiyu asked the imperial court to open the ban on imperial examinations and allow Xiaozong Yuanfan to wear Confucian clothing.Take the test.Emperor Wanli agreed, and then Zongke was opened.

Zongke does not have an independent examination room for the clan, but takes the same examination, which is no different from ordinary scholars.Under this unbiased selection system, the first Zongke Jinshi appeared in the second year of Tianqi.Although it ranks among the top three, it can be regarded as the No.1 clan.

Since then, there have been 13 Zongke Scholars in the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, all of whom were appointed officials according to the usual practice, and did not receive special care because of their clan affiliation.Zhu Cihong knew that there were these people, but he didn't know who they were, and he never looked for them deliberately.However, being able to compete with the children of those aristocratic families shows that the clan is not all useless.

As long as it is useful, Zhu Cihong will not hesitate to help.It is said that the family of heaven regards the world as its home, but if one's own family can't get it together, how can the world be pacified?The rogues used bloody means to solve the suzerainty problem for Zhu Cihuang, but in fact, it seems that this surgical method also severely damaged the vitality of the Zhu family. All the wealth of a hundred years fell into the hands of others, and the accumulated royal culture also lost Burn it.

While Zhu Cihong was comforting his mother, Emperor Chongzhen was summoning the Second Deheng feudal clan in Shandong in the Xiaohua Hall.

According to statistics, in the Ming Dynasty, a total of 51 palaces were divided into vassals. After removing those who were deprived of their titles due to crimes and childlessness, there were finally 29 vassals left.There are six kings of Qi, Lu, Han, De, Heng, and Jing in Shandong.King Qi lost his country because of his crimes; King Han lost his country because of his rebellion; King Jing lost his country because he had no children.In the end, there were only King Lu who was sealed in Yanzhou, King De in Jinan, and King Heng in Qingzhou.

King Zhu Yihai of Lu just came to power in February 17. Hearing that Beijing had fallen, he fled south in a hurry because of the tragic experience of the destruction of the Lu Mansion in Yanzhou.De Wang Youshu and Heng Wang Youzhi did not run away. After some calculations, they presented to Laizhou to ask for news.The two vassals of De and Heng are also imperial lineages, and it can be seen from their names that they are brothers of the same branch and generation as Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was a little tired of staying in such a small compound in Laizhou Mansion, but he couldn't go out, so it was a matter of course that he summoned the two princes to Laizhou to see him, and it was also a way to relieve his loneliness.

"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you to a family dinner." Zhu Cihong originally wanted to see the progress of the technical college, but was caught by Wang Zhixin.

Although Wang Zhixin was heartbroken for a while after donating his family property, but when he heard that Li Zicheng had looted money in Beijing and planned to kill people, he felt that his escape was really a fluke.After walking before the gate of hell, the gold, silver and treasures are nothing, so I feel cheerful again, and continue to be the emperor's chief steward.

Zhu Cihong nodded, after all, he had no choice but to go.When he arrived at the flower hall where the family banquet was held, he saw two old squires with gray beards sitting in the guest seats, and knew that they were the two vassals of De and Heng.I also saw Gong Yonggu, the son-in-law, and Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, as companions. It was indeed a family banquet.

"Your Majesty, Father." Zhu Cihong stepped forward to salute Chongzhen, seeing Chongzhen's face flushed with high interest, presumably he had already drunk wine.

"Give me a seat." Chongzhen waved his hand: "Today we only talk about family affairs, regardless of state affairs! Only family etiquette, regardless of monarchs and ministers!"

Seeing that his father had already set the tone, Zhu Cihong thought to himself: This clearly means to avoid the current crisis.But since the two vassals of Deheng are here, it is better to speak clearly, maybe it can reduce the loss.He made up his mind, and then thought: I still have to call an ally to help.

"Father." The royal family is also a common address for common people, but it is a respectful title that was changed after learning etiquette after growing up.Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Since father is going to hold a family banquet, why don't you send my clan brother along?"

"Clan brother?" Zhu Youjian didn't react for a moment.

"Father, it's the Jin Manor's judge." Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan and Zhu Cihong are of the same generation, and they are considered elder brothers in order of age.After Zhu Cihong arrived in Taiyuan that day, he deeply felt the difference between people.King Jin was not as stupid and crazy as King Qin at all, so he invited the crown prince to stay in the palace with great understanding, asked for money and people, and tried his best to satisfy Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong reciprocated, and when he left Shanxi, he naturally brought the prince of the Jin Dynasty, the king of the county, and even the general of the clan with him.Compared with Fu Fan, only Fu Shizi escaped alone, and Qin Fan followed the thief as a prince. Jin Fan's ending is considered the best.

"Yes." Zhu Youjian came to his senses, and he was obviously much colder towards the vassal kings who were not imperial.

Zhu Cihong didn't care about these things, seeing Wang Zhixin hurried out, sat on his father's head, and toasted the two uncles with family etiquette.The two kings De and Heng hurriedly avoided the table and thanked them before they drank the wine.Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing also toasted and drank together, finding some topics to liven up the atmosphere.

Not long after, Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan signed up to enter, gave family gifts to Chongzhen and the second king, and sat on the accompanying table.

Seeing that he was wearing old clothes with frayed edges, Zhu Cihong's heart brightened, and he secretly praised: My clan brother is really a thoughtful person! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
