Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 191

As a good elder brother, Zhu Xiongying is still very particular, he let the fourth Zhu Yunxi and the fifth Zhu Yunxi go to the East Palace together.In fact, whether the fourth child is the fourth child or the fifth child, they are not yet old enough to open a mansion.

They have only moved out of the palace now, and Lu's daily life is naturally taken care of.Although Da Zhu was gone, his two bastards were still well taken care of.No matter whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, obviously they will not treat Da Zhu's heirs harshly.

Both Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi looked well-behaved, and they were indeed more afraid of Zhu Xiongying.Especially after Da Zhu was gone, these two people were even more well-behaved. They both knew that whether they could live well in the future would depend on their elder brother's face.

Especially the Lu family, who completely stopped thinking that he shouldn't have, and basically educated the three sons to please their eldest brother.

After Zhu Yunxi and the fifth brother Zhu Yunxi greeted each other, Zhu Xiongying asked, "Are you still studying recently?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately replied, "My younger brother is studying the Analects of Confucius, and Yunxi has already enlightened."

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, and then said to Zhu Yunxuan, "Fourth, the words of a sage are naturally important. But you also have to memorize it. It is better to have no books than to believe in books. Of course you must listen to the teachings of sages, but you should not just believe in the words of sages. Think for yourself too.”

Zhu Yunxi nodded quickly, and said, "Your brother takes orders."

A child who was quite lively before has become cautious now.Probably also in his early ten years old, this time is also a relatively long-term age, in front of Zhu Xiongying, he didn't dare to go beyond anything, he was obedient.

Zhu Xiongying continued to ask, "Besides studying, have you ever practiced riding and archery? Swordsmanship?"

I have to say that Zhu Xiongying is a good big brother. If he is an irresponsible big brother, basically let the younger brothers die and study.Forget about Zhu Yunqi, the Lu family was wary of Zhu Xiongying at the beginning, for fear that Zhu Xiongying would be misled by Zhu Yunqi, that is to say, Zhu Yunqi was occasionally forcibly ordered by Zhu Xiongying.

But the fourth and fifth children are different now, and Zhu Xiongying can discipline him justifiably.

Zhu Yunxuan replied quickly at this time, "My brother rides horses and shoots arrows for half an hour every day. A few days ago, the emperor's grandfather ordered Wuding Hou Shizi to teach me to wait."

Zhu Xiongying was speechless for a moment. Lao Zhu's actions were really beating, and it was estimated that Mrs. Lu could not settle down.

When Da Zhu was ill, Lu Shi thought he was smart.As a result, her family's brother-in-law was punished, Wuding Hou Shizi Guo Zhen, who supervised and beheaded Lu's brother-in-law's family.

It’s just that Zhu Xiongying couldn’t say anything about this kind of thing. He just encouraged him and said, “This is a good thing. Big brother doesn’t require you to master the six arts of a gentleman. But you still have to learn what you need to learn. Don’t tell the difference between the four bodies and the five grains.”

A 'traditional scholar' is not a frail scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, but a person who can mount a horse and kill the enemy with a sword.That is to say, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and many scholars began to dislike sweating, and began to think that romantic and famous people should write poems, books, wine and paintings.

Zhu Xiongying also never thought about restoring and promoting the Six Arts in an all-round way, so as to reverse the atmosphere of scholars.This is mainly due to the cost. If the Six Arts of Gentlemen were to be restored in an all-round way, Daming's current finances would not be able to train so many scholars.

Furthermore, in this way, there is basically no possibility for children from poor families to succeed.The Six Arts would basically be monopolized by aristocratic families, they have the capital to train such scholars.

Although there is no way to fully promote the Six Arts in this way, it does not mean that he has low requirements for the noble children or the clan.

Especially these younger brothers, in addition to Zhu Yunqi who has been taught by the Lu family for a long time, of course, there is also Yunxi who can only eat, drink and have fun at home. These two younger brothers are indeed stereotyped and cannot be changed.

But the fourth and fifth brothers still have a chance, Zhu Xiongying still thinks that these two boys teach well, probably because they are a little more "model" than their second and third brothers, rather than "problem lords".

After teaching the fourth and fifth children's studies, Zhu Xiongying was relieved a lot. They were obedient and sensible, and they did not slack off in their studies.

In fact, Lao Zhu has always attached great importance to the education of the clan's children.Some of the clan's disciples are quite successful, but they don't deny that many of the clan's descendants are almost as good as their own Yunxie, and even go too far.

After encouraging the fourth and fifth children well, Zhu Xiongying didn't reward them with books or pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but each of them rewarded them with a royal horse, which can be regarded as encouragement to them.

Xu Miaoqing started to prepare dinner, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Husband, it's time to prepare for the imperial grandmother's birthday."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, this is an out-and-out major matter, "Well, you can deal with these matters. I am busy during this time, so you should pay more attention to the affairs of the harem."

In fact, Xu Miaoqing has also heard some rumors recently, and it must be a lie to say that she is not excited.It's just that she is the grandson concubine after all, and she doesn't have the ability to intervene in the affairs of the court, she is just guessing some things now.

There are indeed a lot of things to deal with in the next period of time, and there is really no way to relax in the next period of time, Zhu Xiongying is very clear about this.

Since this is the case, Xu Miaoqing probably won't be able to relax anymore, she also needs to help with some things, and some things in the palace can't be ignored, otherwise it will be some troublesome things.

Even though Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu thought they had good control over the affairs of the court, they obviously hoped to focus on stability at this time, and they didn't want too many variables at this time.

The storm is about to come, this is how many people feel at this moment, the court does not say that people are in panic, but what is certain is that many people think that this can be regarded as the calm before the storm.

As the uncle of the emperor's grandson, Chang Mao felt that he was promising.

After going around in Koryo and getting some military merits, I returned to Daming.The third child is still in Koryo, and the second child is now guarding Beiping to take care of his mother.And Chang Mao became the powerful arm of the emperor's grandson in Yingtian Mansion.

Seeing Xu Zengshou coming, Chang Mao smiled happily, "Zengshou is here, let uncle see!"

Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth. Although he was a little younger than Chang Mao, he had no choice but to see Chang Mao being so brazen. "I've seen Zheng Guogong."

"We're out of touch now, we're a family." Chang Mao laughed and continued to say grinningly, "This time I called you here to see that you are usually cautious and honest, and you are good at riding and shooting. This time, You go to guard the palace city, what do you think?"

Xu Zengshou immediately clasped his fists and said firmly, "The last general takes orders!"

Chang Mao nodded slightly, and said earnestly, "Zengshou, you have to be more diligent this time. You are a little clever on weekdays, and you should be even smarter now. When you encounter things, you should be more decisive."

Xu Zengshou did not underestimate Chang Mao, because he knew that Chang Mao was Zhu Xiongying's uncle and Zheng Guogong.Let's not talk about Chang Mao's seniority and title, as long as he sees it, it means that Chang Mao is not shrewd about small things, but he is never confused about big things.

After Xu Zengshou left, Chang Mao asked Xu Yingxu to be called, and said directly, "The four gates of Yingtian Mansion should be rotated now, so you go to Jinchuan Gate. You and Changxing Hou Shizi Geng Xuan guard the gate, and you should be more diligent these days. "

Xu Yingxu didn't say much, and took orders neatly. He also knew that it was really impossible to bargain at this time.

I don't know when, some of Daming's rights began to change.Except for some of the heroes and generals who followed the emperor to fight the world, more and more young people have already emerged.

But in Ying Tianfu today, it makes people feel that the younger generation is the real protagonist, and these people really have quite a lot of power in their hands.

Seeing that Chang Mao was arranging the security of the city and Miyagi, many people even felt that if the emperor's grandson really wanted to rebel, maybe he could really succeed, and there should be no big problem.

Not to mention that Chang Mao now controls the city and the imperial city, and that Xu Yungong is in control of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. It is not an exaggeration to say that more than half of the Ming's Forbidden Army is under the command of the Emperor Taisun.

What's more, Lan Yu is now in control of the army in the southwest, Fu Youde is in control of the elite from the Nine Frontiers, and Li Jinglong is patrolling the various guards.The emperor's grandson not only controls the Beijing army, even a large part of the power of the frontier army is now in the hands of the emperor's grandson.

In fact, everyone knows very well that this is the emperor's deliberate delegation of power, which makes the emperor's grandson have such a huge power in his hands.

In the past, most of these powers were in the hands of the prince, and now these powers are basically transferred to the hands of the emperor's grandson.

I also have to lament the deep affection of today's emperor. Looking at ancient and modern times, how many emperors can hand over such huge power to the prince almost without warning?Not only the civil servants in the court, but the most important thing is these troops. This is a force that cannot be ignored.

Many people are also getting busy at this time, and everyone feels that some special moments may be ushered in now. Naturally, they need to be more diligent and careful at this time. just work.

There can be no accidents at this time, and absolutely no troubles at this time.Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is also a critical period for them to truly enter the court.

Lao Zhu, who 'retired behind the scenes', was not powerless. A rather ordinary-looking middle-aged man came to Qianqing Palace.

Old Zhu, who was sitting on the chair, was listening and watching Xiao Zhu holding a stick and destroying flowers with his hands, smiling happily.

These young people are doing well, although they are still a little lacking in their work, but there is no big problem.As long as you don't meet someone like him, you should be able to get things done.

"Tell them later that when people are old, they have to retire. It's good to go back to their hometown to support them. Our grandson will give them face. Don't stop them, the young ones should come out."
