Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 155 Unexpected Things

Seeing the lively great-grandson crawling around on the dragon couch, Lao Zhu was quite comforted in his heart. He felt that he could continue to endure for a few more years.Watching his precious grandson control the court and his great grandson grow up, otherwise he would not feel at ease.

Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaoqing were talking and laughing, and naturally Wang Chengen and Shuangquan followed behind them.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xiongying laughed, "Grandfather, this little thing is still obedient!"

"Better than you!" Old Zhu said angrily, "Yin'er doesn't make us angry, unlike you! You talk yourself, there are so many old women and maids in the East Palace, we must let us take Yin'er!"

Zhu Xiongying laughed, and said very proudly, "That can't be helped. The third child and his wife entered the palace. I, the eldest brother, naturally have to go and see. Yin'er is too noisy now, let others take care of me." Don't worry, just worry about Grandpa Huang."

In fact, Lao Zhu didn't understand that his precious grandson sent his great-grandson here, not because he was worried about other people.The main reason is that he is worried that he is busy with state affairs again, and sending his great-grandson here is naturally just playing around and resting.

Xu Miaoqing smiled and began to serve dishes, and said jokingly, "Grandpa, the grandson-in-law thinks that the grandson should also be drafted. Now there are only two people in the East Palace, and the heirs of the East Palace are still a bit thin."

"Ah!" Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law who knew the general idea. "The grandson should be drafted. Many civil, military, and country gentry are watching eagerly. We don't want to choose nobles to enrich the harem. Some middle and low-level civil and military prostitutes."

Zhu Xiongying has no say in his 'marriage', he is just a body now.Zhu Xiongying is also very clear that his harem is not so easy, and often requires some political considerations.

Just like Xu Miaoqing took the initiative to mention the draft, she also knew very well that she could not be the "only favorite", otherwise a reputation of being jealous would put her in a difficult situation.At that time, even if she is the daughter of Zhongshan King Xu Da, she will not have a good time.By then, maybe her elder brother Xu Yungong will take the lead in playing.

Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, that is not something ordinary people can do.Even if she was the first queen, she wouldn't think of monopolizing her.

Since some things cannot be avoided, it is better to take the initiative to mention some things.What's more, Xu Miaoqing now has the bottom line in her heart, she is the first wife, and the lord of the Six Palaces will be hers if nothing happens.What's more, the little man crawling on the dragon couch now has a more stable position, Xu Miaoqing still thinks about her precious son.

Old Zhu remembered something, and then asked, "How is Yunxi's child? I have heard some of his promiscuity over the years, and now that he has a family, he should be more stable. His wife is a bit arrogant. Bar?"

Poured wine for Lao Zhu, and Zhu Xiongying said, "The third one is okay, he is a little more stable, just playful. His princess is also reasonable, Miaoqing let her enter the palace before and set the rules. Although the princess of the county has Arrogant, but generally sensible, not too bad-hearted. With the same virtue as the second child, the two of them are also right."

Xu Miaoqing also said, "Grandpa may not know, my little aunt let the princess go to the princess mansion a few days ago. The princess has no heart, little aunt thought of a lot of ideas, but it was useless. The granddaughter-in-law complained."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing loudly, "That's a good thing, a pair of fools can get together. Tomorrow, someone will give you a pair of Ruyi, and our grandpa is not good. I really don't care at all."

After clinking glasses with Lao Zhu, Zhu Xiongying took a sip and said, "Don't, you are as virtuous as the second child, and it is easy to cock your tail. Grandpa Huang gave you Ruyi today, and she will wear it for a walk around tomorrow. Grandson I regretted it all, I bought a lot of things for the county prince's mansion before, and the couple often showed off in the name of banquets."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing. In fact, these years he occasionally cared about other sons and grandsons. Of course, Old Zhu couldn't be more clear about Zhu Yunxi's actions and temperament.For this second-in-law grandson, Lao Zhu sometimes has a headache. He is completely a playboy, but fortunately he has no bad intentions.

As for Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, Lao Zhu only cared a little bit.In the final analysis, they are also the bastards of the eldest son that he cares about the most, but for Lao Zhu, it is enough to just pay attention to them occasionally, and they can be regarded as loving the house and the black.

After all, now Lao Zhu can't even look down on his own son, there are more than 20 sons.What's more, these sons have added a lot of grandchildren to him, and Lao Zhu really can't take care of them. Many grandchildren don't remember their names and have never seen them.

After all, what Lao Zhu cares about is his sons and grandsons. This is his real heart and soul, and it is also where the inheritance of Daming Jiangshan lies. Lao Zhu naturally has more reasons to care about it at this time.

While the whole family was talking, Wang Chengen suddenly got the report, and his expression was very embarrassed, he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Xiongying also noticed it naturally, and asked, "What is it that makes you so embarrassed? Let's talk about it."

With a bitter face, Wang Chengen knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Xiping is gone."

Zhu Xiongying froze for a moment, Xiping Hou Muying just disappeared?

Lao Zhu was also stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help shaking.This is his and Empress Ma's favorite adopted son. After the pacification of Yunnan, Muying stayed in Yunnan to guard it. During the ten years of his township in southern Yunnan, he made countless meritorious deeds, greatly promoted farming, taught farming and mulberry, and stabilized the border.
Wang Chengen continued crying with a mournful face, "The crown prince passed away, and the Marquis of Xiping cried unceasingly, and then fell ill."

Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying were not surprised at all, they knew Mu Ying's feelings for Empress Ma and Da Zhu.When Empress Ma died of illness, Mu Ying was so sad that she coughed up blood.But now Da Zhu died of illness, and Mu Ying, who was overly sad, also fell ill because of this.

"Grandfather, let Xipinghou be buried in the capital. You can enjoy the Taimiao and be buried with Xiaoling." Zhu Xiongying sighed and said, "Xipinghou and my royal family are different from ordinary monarchs and ministers."

Old Zhu nodded, and said, "You can handle this matter, and let Mu Chun take over the title. Making Mulin the son is also an explanation to Xi'er."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, his eldest sister Zhu Xi is Muying's daughter-in-law.As Mu Chun became the lord, Mu Chun's son, Mu Lin, was naturally the son of Xiping Hou Shizi.Zhu Xiongying's nephew is not ordinary, it is the name given by Zhu Xiongying himself, from the "lin" we can see Zhu Xiongying's expectations for this nephew.

It was supposed to be a good feast, but it made people feel depressed because of such news.That is to say, little Zhu didn't know, and was still playing around carelessly.

These heavy news make people feel depressing, but there is really nothing to do. Many things just happened like this, and many things are just so unfavorable, which makes people feel so caught off guard.

The news of Mu Ying's death caused an uproar in the court. This was the death of another important minister, which also made many people start to worry about the situation on the border of Yunnan, which seemed to be calm.

With Muying in charge, Yunnan is generally relatively stable, but there are occasional small rebellions.But now that Mu Ying has passed away, many people are naturally worried about whether Mu Chun will be able to sit on the frontier.

Zhu Xiongying is actually worried about some things, mainly because the situation in Yunnan is really not completely reassuring.On the whole, it is indeed relatively stable, but there are some barbarians rebelling from time to time. If there is no way to suppress it for a while, there may be even greater variables.

What's more, there are native officials like chieftains over there. These people's strength and ambition are not small, and it is also a difficult problem for Daming, and it is some chronic diseases that need to be solved.

Zhu Xiongying is indeed worried about these things now, but he also feels that some things are a little beyond his reach.At this stage, we still need to be careful. It seems that some situations over there are currently impossible to expand, and will not cause turmoil in the country.

Let's discuss Mu Ying's posthumous title. It is right for Mu Ying to be buried in the capital and enjoy the imperial temple.It is not a big problem for many civil and military people to posthumously confer the posthumous title of 'Zhaojing' on Qianning King, and this is the treatment Mu Ying deserves.

But when Lao Zhu proposed that the descendants of the Mu family guard Yunnan for generations, it caused an uproar.Because in everyone's opinion, this is not stingy to seal a vassal king, and the treatment of the Mu family is too exaggerated, which makes many people worry that the Mu family may become a vassal town on one side of the structure.

After all, the current strength of the Mu family in Yunnan is not bad at all. If they are allowed to stay in Yunnan forever, the Mu family will really have the opportunity to continue to operate there and form a small kingdom.

Zhu Xiongying seems to have a conservative attitude towards this matter, he is indeed not very happy to let Mu Jiayong live in Yunnan.It's just that Zhu Xiongying also felt that there was really no need for him to object, and there was no other way.

The current Yunnan is not the south of Caiyun, there is still a lot to be developed there, and there are also many rebellious things there.Daming doesn't have much energy to develop Yunnan now, and with the inconvenience of communication, sometimes he has to act cheaply.

"Ying'er, our Daming is too big!" Old Zhu said to Zhu Xiongying, not knowing whether he was happy or sad, "We also know that we have given the Mu family too much power, and some people worry that the Mu family has ambitions. But we, really There is no way."

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Grandson understands that if there is a land of fish and rice and the hearts of the people belong to it, then naturally the Mu family cannot be given these rights. But Yunnan has not been developed in recent years, and the court has no way to take care of that right now. I can only let the Mu family spend more time."

Old Zhu nodded, but still said, "But Ying'er has to remember, we believe in Mu Ying and Mu Chun, but what should be prepared, we still have to prepare."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, of course he didn't want to see the worst thing happen.But there are some things that really need a little preparation.
