Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 188

Lao Zhu cut through the mess quickly. When the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying was still banned from the East Palace, Emperor Hongwu promoted a lot of government affairs in the court, which was basically considered a national policy.

In the Minister of Industry Yan Zhenzhi's report, Beiping City was basically repaired, and the imperial city of Beiping was almost completed, and Lao Zhu was even more satisfied.

Even though there were still many civil and military nobles trying to resist at this time, after killing a few civil and military nobles who were still stubbornly resisting, all the voices of opposition suddenly subsided.Everyone understands that the person in front of him has changed from a commoner to a dragon chair, decisive killing and heroism are the characteristics of this person.

Those who are smarter will cooperate with the official relocation of the capital two years later, and the imperial court will even begin to formally prepare for the relocation of the capital now.

From now on, Yingtian Mansion will be Daming's accompanying capital, and six departments will be left here.The Ming Dynasty implemented the two-capital system, which is similar to many dynasties in history.But everyone understands that the center of power is about to change, and the place where the emperor is is the real capital.

In fact, there have been many discussions before. When Zhu Xiongying went to Beiping Mansion to build the imperial city, many people saw it.It's just that everyone felt that maybe it was another Fengyang, and the half-built imperial city stopped as soon as it said it would stop.

But this time is different, there is no room for negotiation, and the next capital of Ming Dynasty will be Beiping Mansion.As for the pros and cons, gains and losses, etc., have been discussed many times before, and Lao Zhu also feels that there is no need to continue the discussion.

Under the instruction of Zhu Xiongying, Ren Hengtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, played a performance, and his burial would hurt the peace of heaven.Since Daming is expelling the Tartars, many bad habits should also be abolished at this time.The system of sacrificial burial was also abolished, and Lao Zhu ordered an edict not to allow sacrificial burial.

Including the royal family, they will no longer be buried.As for those who have been buried before, there is no other way.The imperial court will not take back the official position and rewards of the family of the buried princess, but in the future, the imperial court will no longer advocate sacrificial burial, let alone give rewards.

This can also be regarded as the beginning of many people to sing praises, especially those scholars, who are still relatively resistant to the sacrificial burial system.Of course, there are also some nobles or aristocratic families who frown. It is their 'decency' to be buried alive.

Zhu Xiongying was still feeling emotional, during the time he was confined in the East Palace, old Zhu dealt with many things resolutely and resolutely.Especially for masters like moving the capital, Lao Zhu basically did it all by himself.Even if there was some backlash, it was strongly suppressed by Lao Zhu, and there was no way to turn the tide.

I have to lament Lao Zhu's control over the court, which is beyond Zhu Xiongying's reach.

Xu Miaoqing looked at Zhu Xiongying's face, and asked cautiously, "Husband, are you going to court tomorrow?"

"It should be, and the foot restraint has been lifted." Zhu Xiongying laughed and looked forward to it, "It is indeed a comfortable time, but we are also a person who can't calm down. If we stay idle all the time, we will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. .”

Xu Miaoqing nodded, and then said, "The people from the Shangyi Supervisor came over today and measured the size of the concubines and others."

Zhu Xiongying froze for a moment, then said calmly, "Oh, I guess it's going to be autumn, let's sew some clothes."

Wang Chengen came and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Master, Your Majesty has an order to ask you to go to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint."

Zhu Xiongying was not surprised, and Xu Miaoqing was not surprised at all.Don't say that Zhu Wenyin's naughty boy is in Qianqing Palace now, even if that little guy is not there, Zhu Xiongying will go to Qianqing Palace from time to time.

This time Xu Miaoqing did not go with him, and Zhu Xiongying still knew to listen to some of Lao Zhu's oral instructions.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xiongying was stunned.He saw the chubby Zhu Wenyin wearing black clothes with five chapters of dragon, mountain, huachong, fire and Zongyi painted on the clothes, and four chapters of Zao, Fenmi, Fu and Fu on the clothes, a total of nine chapters.

This little guy is now wearing a nine-pointed crown, which is basically considered a transcendence.

In fact, over the years, Lao Zhu has changed many times in Huang Mingzu's precepts, especially regarding clothing.

Needless to say, the emperor is naturally twelve chapters and twelve chapters.As for the crown prince, this is nine crowns and nine chapters; the prince eight crowns and seven chapters; the county king and the prince's son wears seven crowns and five chapters.

Old Zhu was in a good mood, seeing Zhu Xiongying said, "Ying'er, show us some new clothes."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu with a complicated mood, "Grandfather, is it a little early?"

"It's not early, it's not early at all." Old Zhu said cheerfully to Zhu Xiongying, "Today there are only three of us in the palace, don't let us wait on you to get dressed. Hurry up and change your crown clothes, let us have a good look Look."

Black top with red bottom, this is the so-called Xuanyi clothes, the top is painted with six patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects, and the bottom is embroidered with algae, fire, pink rice, Zongyi, Fu, and Fu Six chapters.

Among them, the sun, moon, and dragon are on the shoulders, the stars and mountains are on the back, and the fire, Chinese insects, and Zong Yi are on the sleeves.

In fact, the arrangement and distribution of the twelve articles in the past dynasties are different, but they are basically the same.

The front and back of the crown are [-] squares each, two feet four inches long, two feet two inches wide, with a mysterious appearance and Zhuli, and a round front and rear.There are twelve five-color jade beads, in order of red, white, blue, yellow and black.

Lao Zhu looked at his grandson proudly and gratifiedly, "It would be great if your father was here, and it's time to see our Yinger enthroned."

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say, probably this was what Lao Zhu was missing.Perhaps for Lao Zhu, the biggest regret is that he did not see that his eldest son, who made him proud and satisfied, did not ascend to the throne of God.

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying didn't speak, Lao Zhu was very calm, "Our body can't keep up, and we can't accept the old. When we were younger, we didn't know how tired. Now we can't do it, can't sleep, can't eat, When I close my eyes, I see your imperial grandmother, your father, and those old brothers."

"We're thinking, we've reached our age." Patting Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder, Lao Zhu said, "You're going to be enthroned, so let's wait and see for you. We're thinking that before winter, we Zen position, you are enthroned."

Although this is what I said before, but Zhu Xiongying still felt a little uncomfortable, "Grandfather, your age..."

"We know our body and bones. If we weren't afraid that you wouldn't be able to sit still, we would have died a long time ago." Old Zhu patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder, looked into Zhu Xiongying's eyes, "We just hold on, hold on, If we lose our breath, we lose our people."

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying didn't speak, Lao Zhu smiled calmly, "It's fine if we're gone, I'll go to accompany your grandmother and see your father. Seeing that you and Yin'er are doing well now, let's give them a treat." Confess. It’s good that we’re gone, we’re too miserable! Parents didn’t get up early, and they rebelled and fought against the world, so they didn’t have a day off.”

Old Zhu's eyes were slightly cloudy, and he said to Zhu Xiongying, "We just thought, if we die, we should relax a bit. If we die, we can see our parents, brothers and sisters, and we can protect your emperor." Grandmother, protect your father. You don’t know that when we rebelled, those people from the old Guo family bullied us terribly!”

Maybe Lao Zhu is really old, maybe the old man in front of him is not just the talented and bold Emperor Zhu, he is just an old man now.I recall not being able to spend much time with my parents when I was young, and I also recall the time with my wife...

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying was a little sad, Lao Zhu said very freely, "If you hold your breath, we will be at ease if you are stable! If you are filial, you will watch us die early! When we die, we will be buried in Xiaoling , which is stronger than anything."

"Grandpa Huang, if you leave, what will your grandson do?" Zhu Xiongying choked up, and said, "Grandson lost his mother when he was young, and the emperor's grandmother also left early. Father is gone, so we will be the emperor's grandfather. "

Looking at his grandson who was also suffering, Lao Zhu suppressed his sourness, "You still have Yin'er and grandson concubine. Yunxi can't become a weapon, so I can talk to you. Ying'er, you are different from us. We are not the same now. The people who talked are gone. If you are considerate of us, you can handle the matter well, and we can close our eyes in peace of mind."

Zhu Xiongying held back, and jokingly said, "Then if the grandson doesn't worry a little bit, Grandpa Huang will accompany the grandson?"

Old Zhu slapped Zhu Xiongying on the head and said, "You bastard!"

"Don't hit my father!" Zhu Wenyin, who had been ignored for a long time, was anxious, and rushed over, hugging Lao Zhu's thigh, "Don't hit my father, great-grandfather is bad!"

Old Zhu lowered his head and whispered softly, "Yin'er, we were having a fight with your father, so we didn't hit him."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu said to Zhu Xiongying, "You still have Yin'er, he protects you. Don't think too much, you are the grandson of the emperor and the future emperor. There are some hardships, but this is also yours. Thing! You are a son of heaven, don't want to act like a child!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded vigorously, and said, "Grandson understands, but grandson is really reluctant."

"Be willing, you must be willing!" Looking at Zhu Xiongying, Lao Zhu was really emotional, and also really sentimental, "We are in this world, and what we care about now is you and Yin'er. But on the other side, there is our love." Parents, they didn't see us living a good life, so we should be filial. Your grandmother has been waiting for us for many years."

Old Zhu can't say that he already has the will to die, but the old Zhu now may feel that living is a kind of torment for him.If it wasn't for worrying about Zhu Xiongying, if it wasn't for worrying about Daming's Jiangshan, maybe that anger would really dissipate, and he would no longer be the master of guessing.

Zhu Xiongying, who was in a complicated mood, didn't know what to say. He even wondered whether his own existence made Lao Zhu have some bad thoughts.

But Zhu Xiongying also knew that Lao Zhu was really suffering in his heart.Lao Zhu was originally a person who attached great importance to family affection, but now in this world, what Lao Zhu really cares about in his heart may be Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Wenyin.

In another world, there are too many people that Lao Zhu cares about, and Lao Zhu also made a choice.

Perhaps the current Lao Zhu just hopes to see his precious grandson in a stable position, so that he can leave without any worries.
