Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 10
Zhu Yunwen is three years younger than Zhu Xiongying, and his mother was a side concubine when he was born.At that time, Mrs. Chang was alive, according to the order, he was only the eldest son of the concubine.

But in history, there are mothers who are more expensive than their sons, and there are also sons who are more expensive than their mothers.

After Chang's death and Lu's rectification, Zhu Yunqi became a legitimate son.However, the identity is not the same as that of the children born to the Chang family.

In history, it was precisely because of this congenital defect in identity that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that after establishing the emperor's grandson, he would not be able to suppress the idea of ​​​​the founding of Huaixi, and thus killed the heroes and veterans.

Among them, the uncle of the former Crown Princess Chang's family, Zhu Xiongying's uncle, and the famous general Sapphire.There is also Chang's in-law, Song Guogong Feng Sheng.Fighting side by side with Sapphire for decades, Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi is a powerful man who shakes the fishing sea.

Among the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, the Sapphire case killed almost all the founding generals.

After Zhu Di was in trouble, break Yingtian.Zhu Yunxuan is nowhere to be found. The only blood left by the Chang family, Zhu Biao's other real son, Zhu Yunxie, the third son who was crowned King of Wu, also died under house arrest by Zhu Di because of his high status.

"Get up, the whole family is so polite!" Zhu Biao said with a gentle smile towards the two of them.

Mrs. Lu got up, she is in her 30s, she has an outstanding demeanor, and she has the delicate and graceful appearance of a traditional scholar-official woman.

"Has Your Highness eaten?" Mrs. Lu asked Zhu Yunqi, pulling her.

When Zhu Biao entered the palace, his own servants came forward to change his clothes, and said, "Brother Heying, I used it on my mother's side!"

Hearing this, the bleakness on Lu's face disappeared in an instant.

As the nominal concubine of the Eastern Palace, she was never qualified to dine with the emperor and empress.Not only that, even the son she gave birth to seemed to be one step behind the emperor and empress.

The one who loves the most in those two hearts, and the one who values ​​the most will always be the eldest grandson.Even Zhu Yunxi, the second son of the Chang family, is more important in the Queen's heart than the Lu family's son.

(Among Zhu Biao's sons, Zhu Yingxiong is the eldest, Zhu Yunqi is the second child, and Zhu Yunxie is the third child. But Zhu Yunqi became the second son after the death of the Chang family. Originally, he was only the second son, the eldest son of the concubine. Zhu Yunxie was the second son)

Afterwards, Mrs. Lu touched her son inadvertently.

Zhu Yunwen said loudly, "Father, my son has read Confucius' Analects today. Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is lazy."

Immediately, the hall was filled with the sound of Zhu Yunwen reading aloud.

Zhu Biao was taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he valued these sage theories the most. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "My son is smart, and he studies hard, and he should be rewarded!"

"Yu'er has been memorizing it all day!" Lu said with a smile, "In the evening, he rushed to His Highness to show off, and he also said that he would recite it to His Majesty and the Empress in the future!"

"Well, you study well, your grandfather is also happy!" Zhu Biao seemed a little tired, and said casually.

"Zen'er is always arguing to see the emperor these days!" Shi Lu gently rubbed Zhu Biao's shoulders, and said with a smile, "If your highness is free these few days, take him to the emperor and queen." As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Biao's face, "Don't think that we are young, but we know filial piety best. We know that the emperor and empress like their children and grandchildren to study, and they can't leave their books all day long at such a young age. Those academicians are full of praise! It is said that such a young child knows how to make progress, it is really amazing!"

She talked for a long time, but Zhu Biao seemed to be thinking.

"When you said that, I just remembered it!" Zhu Biao said, "Brother Ying's illness is also cured, and it's time to go to school!" As he spoke, he pondered slightly, "But, who is the best teacher? He is the grandson of the emperor, so we must be very careful in choosing a teacher, not only the talent and learning, but more importantly, the character!"

Mrs. Lu, the hand that rubbed Zhu Biao's shoulders, suddenly paused.

"If Brother Ying'er recovers from his illness, why not take him back to live in the East Palace!" Lu said again, "This concubine, who is a mother and concubine, hasn't done her best these years, which made the child feel a little bit like the concubine. I'm born!"

"I don't want to scold him!" Zhu Biao laughed, "The old son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. Don't talk about coming back to live, if I don't see him for a while, the queen mother will be anxious!"

"Then, if Brother Ying studies, will he stay with Wen'er?" Lu asked again.

"It's hard to say!" Zhu Biao said, "He is the grandson of the emperor. The choice of a master depends on the old man's intentions. In the end, it is up to him to teach alone, or to study in the palace hall with the princes and grandchildren. Look at the will of the old man!"

"Actually, from my concubine's point of view, it's better for their brothers to study together." Lu continued, "Although brother Ying is of high status, he has a bit of a temper. The two brothers are together, after all, they are companions. Otherwise, Brother Ying would be lonely by himself."

Zhu Biao spoke suddenly, with a cold face, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Surprised, Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "The concubine is just talking about family affairs with His Highness!"

"Some things are not commonplace!" Zhu Biao glanced at her, then looked at Zhu Yunqi who was not knowing why, and waved his hands, "Go down, I'm lonely!"

Lu's eyes turned red, and she wanted to say something more, but held back.

"The concubine resigns!" Lu said, "Xuan'er, bid farewell to your father!"

"My son will retire first, father will rest earlier!" Zhu Yunwen said.

Zhu Biao nodded, turned around and walked into the study first.

There are some things that Lu Shi doesn't need to say, he knows it very clearly.Now he is the prince, in the future he will be the great treasure, and the Lu family will be the queen.

But the future heir of the Ming Empire cannot be the son of the empress. It would be strange if she didn't have any complaints or thoughts in her heart!

However, the rule of the Ming Dynasty is that the elder must live in the East Palace and be the crown prince.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background, he attached great importance to ethics and etiquette, and because he didn't want to see his children and grandchildren fight for power and profit.Therefore, the candidate for the crown prince was determined early to stabilize the country.

For this matter, others don't even dare to touch it, let alone touch it.

Furthermore, Zhu Xiongying was born in the Chang family, and behind him was the support of the Huaixi nobles who were the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty.Others have other thoughts, not to mention that the old man was sad, even these warriors and princes would not agree.

This is exactly the case in history. When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised his troops to calm the disaster, the surviving veterans, such as Wuding Hou Guoying, all worked hard.The root cause is that behind Zhu Yunqi is the civil servant group of Ming Dynasty.

Even the vassals of the Zhu family mostly watched with cold eyes, watched from the other side and even secretly laughed.

Zhu Biao walked into the study and retreated.

Slowly opened a drawer, opened an old book, and a portrait of a young girl slipped out of it.

Zhu Biao held it in his hand cherishingly, and looked at the portrait with luster in his eyes.

"Big girl, if only you were still alive!"

"You know, our son, Brother Ying, showed his face in the court today. The courtiers praised the holy grandson, and the old man smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth!"

"You have a spirit in the sky, bless Brother Ying to grow up safely, free from illness and disaster!"
