The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 90
Yesterday, Zhu Ying just came back from Xiaoling.

The situation of Xiaoling is still fresh in my memory.

Since ancient times, the emperor's family has paid great attention to Fengshui. As a royal tomb, Xiaoling Mausoleum is heavily guarded.

Almost has its own separate system, is not controlled by anyone, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

When he went there with Jinyiwei Song Zhong, he was only close to Zhong Shan, and he was already interrogated by Xiaolingwei.

In the back, there are layers of checkpoints, and the system is strict.

The Xiaoling Guards seemed to be guarding the emperor's tomb, but in fact they had a very high status, and their salary was never lacking.

There is also an experience department in Xiaoling Guard, with [-] officers and soldiers on the job.

There are five institutes in one guard, and each institute has 120 people.

These officers and soldiers were selected after long-term training, and [-] elite soldiers were selected as the core combat force of Xiaoling Guard.

The bullfighting suit given by the emperor, and the embroidered spring knife, have a very high status.

The selection criteria for elite soldiers is that they can ride horses and raise whips, run fast, and ride horses across a ditch, over a wall, and shoot arrows on horseback. Only those who hit two out of three arrows are qualified.

These elite soldiers are adjusted and assessed every five years, and the last elimination system is implemented.

Those who are not qualified can ask their sons to continue to help guard the tomb.If there is no son to serve as a soldier, he can return to his hometown with his salary to retire.

This is a special benefit only available to Xiaoling Guards, and it is the same as the pensions of later generations, which shows how much the Ming Dynasty attached importance to Xiaoling.

The Xiaoling Guards never disappointed the royal family. From the beginning of Ming Dynasty to the end of Ming Dynasty, a total of 270 years, Xiaoling Guards were stationed for 260 years.

It seems that there is a difference of ten years, but in fact, the Xiaoling Guards officially stationed in Xiaoling in the tenth year of Hongwu.

This means that the Xiaoling Guards were not forced to disband until after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. After that, Xiaoling was no longer guarded by garrisons and suffered serious damage.

The old man said that his eldest grandson was buried near Zhongshan.

This Zhongshan Xiaoling Mausoleum, can anyone else dare to bury it at will?

What's more, the old man is still a court minister. After his grandson dies, can he be buried secretly in Zhongshan?

Living here in Daming for ten years, Zhu Ying is very aware of the current customs.

Unmarried women, those who died unexpectedly, and unmarried men who died young are not allowed to enter the ancestral mausoleum.

For the royal family, the ancestral mausoleum is naturally Xiaoling Mausoleum.

According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, if someone died before the age of 16, he would be considered as an early death.

According to the old man, his eldest grandson died young when he was only eight years old ten years ago.

They are not even eligible to enter the ancestral mausoleum.

What's more, it is Zhongshan Xiaoling Mausoleum.

No matter how great the credit, no matter how good the relationship with His Majesty is, it is impossible.

Even if it is His Majesty's own prince and grandson,
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying's thinking suddenly froze, her eye sockets dilated slightly, and her pupils constricted.

The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming, Zhu Xiongying, His Royal Highness King Yu.

Hongwu was born in the seventh year, Hongwu died in the 15th year, died young at the age of eight, and was buried in Zhongshan.

call.
On the busy street, Zhu Ying took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

At this moment, he seemed to have made a remarkable discovery.

"Master." Uncle Zhang's voice came, pulling Zhu Ying out of her thoughts.

Zhu Ying came back to her senses, with a little complicated eyes, she pondered slightly, and then said: "It's okay, let's go back."

Just now Zhu Ying stopped suddenly and stood on the street for a long time. Uncle Zhang didn't know the situation, so he sounded a reminder.

Daming Palace, square in front of Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the Huagai Palace.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang himself also came out of fighting on the battlefield, he can't see laziness and slack the most.

And that luxurious style.

Therefore, it is stipulated that riding on horses and sedan chairs is prohibited in the Forbidden City, and all officials are required to go to court on foot.

The Forbidden City referred to now is not only the inner city, but also includes the outer city.

This is a pain for the officials of the upper court, because they can't do it, no matter the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, it's okay in summer, but once it comes to winter, it's really terrible.

Earlier, there were some officials who lived far away and were born from poor families. Some were malnourished and suffered from night blindness.

Going to the early morning in the dark, he fell into the moat of the inner city and almost drowned, but was finally rescued by guards.

Because of the surprise and the cold, he lay at home for half a month.

"Your Majesty went with Ru Shangshu today, and His Highness Changsun went to King Yu's Mausoleum yesterday. With His Highness Changsun's intelligence, I am afraid that he may have guessed His Majesty's identity."

Jiang Yu saw that His Majesty was in a happy mood, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

"Guess it, okay, we're afraid he won't guess it. This little brat, now that he's grown up, his wings are stiff, and he doesn't listen to us for anything."

"We can't bear to blame our eldest grandson, we can't beat him, we can't scold him."

"We remember that when grandson was young, he was the most naughty and mischievous. With his grandma protecting him, he was absolutely lawless. If we beat or scolded him, we would not be able to explain to the eldest sister when we went down."

"Hey, if he guesses our identity, he will be much more honest in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, very happy.

In this palace, any son or grandson would be able to face him.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the only one who dared to pluck his beard was the eldest grandson.

Very mischievous.

Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers clearly that at that time in Kunning Palace, he refused to sleep at night and had to play.

There was no other way, Zhu Yuanzhang could only screen out all the court ladies and eunuchs, and then fell to the ground, letting his grandson play a game of riding a horse.

When the grandson is tired from playing, he can go to sleep.

In this world, the only one who dares to ride on the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty and play horse riding games is such a precious grandson as Zhu Xiongying.

When Zhu Xiongying was still there, he was a veritable bully in the palace.

Occasionally going to the Imperial Academy, the entire academy would tremble three times.

When he was more than seven years old and still in good health, even his biological father Zhu Biao had to take a detour when he saw it.

It would be hard to be entangled by Zhu Xiongying.

After saying a few harsh words casually, Zhu Xiongying went directly to the emperor's grandfather and cried, and he had to be reprimanded.

That kind of doting, no matter what your reason is, stand aside without thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very helpless, even if he didn't want to stand aside, Empress Ma couldn't help him.

Even Zhu Biao is like this, let alone other princes and grandchildren.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang gave in to everything after seeing Zhu Ying, even if it was a taboo country in the imperial court.

When Zhu Ying talked about it, Zhu Yuanzhang had to endure it, and could only persuade him with good words.

This is from the intergenerational doting of the Ming emperor.

Zhu Ying was the only one.

If the courtier made this statement.

Hehe, we can have dinner at home, and I will kill you on the spot.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the past when his eldest grandson was a child, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and he walked like flying.

"By the way, pass on our decree and make it clear to the Xiaoling Guard that our grandson's mausoleum should be guarded by more people, so that we don't want to cause any trouble."

"What that bastard, the fourth son, is thinking, I, as an old man, still don't know. Heh, these folk husbands must have been arranged by him long ago."

"Maybe it's just trying to destroy our grandson's mausoleum, and let the Xiaoling guards guard it for me. If something goes wrong, let's take care of them."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered the matter of the mausoleum, and with a slight turn in his mind, he guessed that there might be tricks in it.

Dasun originally traveled to the Western Regions and grasslands.He was brought directly to the capital by the fourth Zhu Di.

After Jin Yiwei discovered the tombs of the father and son adopted by the two eldest grandsons, how could Zhu Yuanzhang be able to hide this little trick.

If he can even guess this tricky point, Zhu Yuanzhang can still win the Great Ming Dynasty?
This is because the characters of the fourth Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang are very similar, so far, he is the one with the most outstanding military talent among his sons.

The year before last, he also made great contributions to the sky.

Coupled with the current identity of the eldest grandson, there is no real hard evidence to support it.

Otherwise, this move would be enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to take back Zhu Di's vassal land and eliminate the king.

"I obey the order." Jiang Yu bowed aside and said.

A gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

He is very fortunate now that after he got the news, he had to report the matter to His Majesty alone at the risk of offending his grandson Zhu Yunqi.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that grandson Zhu Yunqi had long disliked a Jinyiwei leader like him.

His Highness the eldest grandson is his only way out.

His Royal Highness Changsun currently has no other forces to speak of, he just needs to enter early, and His Royal Highness Changsun ascends the throne in the future, which is equivalent to the merits of a dragon.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his orders, he said again: "By the way, help us bring Mr. Xin Guo here. Let Guanglu Temple prepare some food and wine, and go to the back garden."

"The minister obeys the order."

On the first day of the first lunar month in the 23rd year of Hongwu, when Tang He went to the capital to pay New Year greetings to Zhu Yuanzhang, he had an emergency and could not speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to visit him in person today, and after a long sigh, he asked him to return to his hometown.

When Tang He recovered from his illness, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to take him to the capital again, and let him enter the inner hall in a sedan chair.

The current Tanghe has been living in the inner city of the imperial palace.

After so many years, there are not many old friends around Zhu Yuanzhang.

Regarding the joy of the eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to find someone to share, so he thought of this old big brother.

Tang He was kind to Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he was guarding in Changzhou, he often made mistakes because of drunkenness.

After asking Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions and getting no answer, he made a slip of the tongue after drinking, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he complained about.

So that after the central plains were pacified, Zhu Yuanzhang released the remnants of Chen Youding when he conquered Fujian with Tanghe, which caused the eight counties to be harassed again.

On the way back to the army, he was attacked by bandits from the Xiulan bandit again, and Tang and the Duke were not named on the grounds that they had lost two commanders.

After Tang He came back from cutting Shu, Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him face to face for the crime of staying, and Tang He apologized before giving up.

Even when he was granted the title of Lord Xin, Zhu Yuanzhang still listed his faults in Changzhou and ordered them to be engraved on the hereditary certificate.

Until the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want military power to be held by many noble generals for a long time, and he had not publicly withdrawn his military power.

This intention was noticed by Tanghe.

Tang He grew up with Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and he knows Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament very well.

In particular, the ups and downs of Feng Xin Guogong made Tanghe understand that the current Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer Zhu Chongba when he was a child.

Especially with the emergence of the Hu Weiyong case, Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly murdered heroes and veterans, making Tang He understand that if he keeps controlling the military power, he will only bring himself a disaster of death.

So I found an opportunity and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I am old and can no longer command the army to gallop on the battlefield. I hope to return to my hometown and find a place for my future death."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, relieved Tang He's military power, gave him [-] treasures, and built a mansion for Tang He in Fengyang.

Only then did the two get back together.

So far, Tang He is the only old friend left by Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
