Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 403 The Ability of the Clan

As an emperor, sometimes he can do whatever he wants, and his rules are the greatest.

For example, this time, Zhu Yunying just walked away.You can wait for the meal or something, even if many people are ready at this time.But in fact, they are just waiting now, and the maids and eunuchs will continue to wait for their posts.

As for Zhu Yunying walking towards Fengxian Hall with a sullen face, the people accompanying Zhu Yunying hurriedly followed one by one.

When they arrived at Fengxian Hall, even Wang Chengen could only obediently stand outside the hall gate and wait.If you want to enter a place like Fengxian Hall, don't say that Wang Chengen is not qualified, even some concubines of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are not qualified.Including some son-in-laws, they are usually not qualified to enter Fengxian Hall.

Lao Zhu was sullen at the moment, holding a bamboo stick in his hand.Naturally, Zhu Gui could only kneel down obediently, but it seemed that Zhu Gui didn't seem to care too much about some things, which could be regarded as having some sense of confidence.

Zhu Yunying didn't say much, but took incense silently, first for Empress Ma's tablet, and then for Dazhu.As for Zhu Yunying's great-great-grandfather and other ancestors, they are relatively later.

Old Zhu pointed at Zhu Yunying, and said angrily, "Are there any rules? Your great-grandfather is watching!"

The great-grandfather, that is, Lao Zhu's grandfather Zhu Chuyi, after Lao Zhu proclaimed himself emperor, Zhu Chuyi was named the Ming Xizu, posthumously named Emperor Yu.And Zhu Chuyi's mausoleum is the Ming ancestor's mausoleum in Hongze Lake, Xuyi, not the Ming emperor's mausoleum in Fengyang's hometown of Zhu Yunying's great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

Zhu Yunying didn't care too much, just said, "We don't think great-grandfather or great-grandfather would say anything about us. To put it bluntly, even if the emperor's grandpa is so talented, if there is no our grandmother, whether the emperor's grandpa can win the world for the time being Don't say it. Even if Grandpa Huang can win the world, our family will not be so smooth."

Old Zhu nodded approvingly and admitted this, "That's the reason too. If our parents see your grandmother, they will be happy too. They are all happy to have such a daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law. She is virtuous, and our Zhu family is also happy." It will prosper."

Zhu Yunying nodded solemnly, obviously agreeing with Lao Zhu's opinion.This is not to please Lao Zhu, but Zhu Yunying's sincere feelings.As for the real queen, in Zhu Yunying's eyes, his grandmother is well-deserved and the number one queen.

At this time, Zhu Gui just knelt quietly, and he has no right to express his feelings now.What's more, Zhu Gui actually knew very well that he had just been punished by Lao Zhu, which was basically just a "small punishment and big commandment". Basically, he was fooled like this, so there was nothing to worry about.

But the next thing is more straightforward, because Zhu Yunying is here, there may be some variables in this matter.

After chatting for a while, Lao Zhu pointed at Zhu Gui, "You've heard about him, haven't you?"

"Grandfather, we knew that you must still have some people in your hands." Zhu Yunying couldn't help complaining, "Speaking of which, we should know about these things first. But now, luckily, Thirteenth Uncle has been called into Yingtian Mansion Yes, we will find out."

Old Zhu said angrily, "It's good that you know it in your heart. If we don't die, we will keep these people in our hands. We didn't give it to your father, and we won't give it to you now."

Zhu Yunying smiled, also a little unconcerned.Zhu Yunying is naturally very clear about the fact that Lao Zhu still has a lot of people in his hands.There's no need to get to the bottom of these matters, and Zhu Yunying doesn't intend to immediately take over all of Lao Zhu's men.

Old Zhu was not polite either, he just asked, "Tell me, what do you plan to do with your thirteenth uncle?"

Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Gui who was kneeling by the side, and asked seriously, "Uncle Thirteen, you should talk to your nephew about some things."

Zhu Gui glanced at Zhu Yunying, and immediately looked embarrassed. Zhu Gui, who was squeaky, would definitely not want to say it.Of course he knew what he had committed.Others say it, just listen to it yourself, there is no need to explain it yourself.

Old Zhu snorted coldly, looked at Zhu Yunying and asked, "What about you? What did you hear?"

Zhu Yunying said, "We just heard from Wang Chengen, and I guess it was also ordered by the emperor's grandfather. It is said that Uncle Thirteen was killing money in Datong Mansion, and that's probably what happened."

"At this time, we still have to cover up for him?" Old Zhu snapped angrily, "What kind of news are we sending people? I don't know what kind of news? This bastard thing, is it really just killing money?"

Zhu Yunying smiled, and argued, "Grandfather, if Uncle Thirteen is good at serving soldiers and civilians, it's not a big deal."

Zhu Gui's eyes lit up, and he felt that his chance had come.In fact, what he is most worried about right now is "being good at serving the army and the people". He naturally knows that Zhu Yunying is dissatisfied with the prince's command of the army, and he even hates the vassal king's meddling in the local military affairs.

If the emperor didn't care about these things, Zhu Gui felt that he should be able to get away calmly.

Zhu Gui really felt that it seemed that the will was clear, and he really felt that he didn't need to worry so much.He felt that among the things he did, it is said that serving the army and civilians is the biggest sin, and other things are trivial things that are not worth mentioning.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying one more time, and then said, "What's your idea? Your father doesn't like such things as being good at serving soldiers and civilians, and you don't like these things even more."

"We really don't like these things, otherwise we wouldn't have evacuated the guards of the emperor's uncles these years." Zhu Yunying was also very straightforward, and said, "If the thirteenth uncle is good at serving soldiers and civilians, we feel that we will be confined to the palace. It will be enough for a while.”

If it was before, Zhu Yunying would indeed have to be more careful.The previous vassal kings still had more or less soldiers and horses, at least they had guards, and a little more could even have tens of thousands of horses.

But it's different now, the current prince is just some family guards.Even those vassal kings have lost their strength and are just empty-handed.

According to Lao Zhu's original intention, the vassal king guarded the frontier and expanded the territory, which could also gather military power from Wu Xun.Each palace is equipped with about three guard commanders, two guards, and one ceremonial guard, with more than [-] people.

There is even a system of officials in the palace. Although they can't get involved in local government affairs, these people's military strength in the local area is indeed relatively outstanding.

At this time, Lao Zhu continued, "We don't bother to talk about the things he did."

Zhu Yunying felt that Lao Zhu was really angry, so she looked at Zhu Gui, "Uncle Thirteen, we can leave the matter of being good at serving the soldiers and civilians for the time being. I just want to ask, you were hurt in Datong Mansion. The lives of the people?"

At this moment, Zhu Gui immediately lowered his head, he didn't think it was a big deal for him to kill a few ordinary people.Although he didn't dare to compare with Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu, he was still a son of a dragon, a nobleman of Tian Huang.

Seeing Zhu Gui's attitude, Zhu Yunying's expression became even uglier all of a sudden.He felt that Zhu Gui was challenging his bottom line!
In the final analysis, Zhu Gui used his status to mobilize some military households and ordinary people to work for him.And these things are basically not big things, either conspiracy or rebellion, or 'doing private work'.

Zhu Yunying also became serious at this time, and looked at Zhu Gui, "Uncle Thirteen, do you want to kill people or bully goodness, or bully the market?"

Zhu Gui didn't say a word, but Lao Zhu simply said, "He did everything you said, and he did everything!"

Zhu Yunying understood everything at once, it seems that Zhu Gui's money-making is really 'primary'.Relying on his special status, he is confident enough to bully the market cleanly and neatly. If someone dares to resist and refuse to listen, he will attack directly.

At this time, Lao Zhu continued, "If he is only greedy for money, that's fine. The salary we give him every year and support him are not enough. We give him land, not to mention this bastard high renter, and let the common people and military households pay for him. Farm!"

Zhu Yunying took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Gui, "Uncle Thirteen, let's just ask, you can think about it later. How many human lives are there?"

Zhu Gui seemed to know that he was afraid, and said in a low voice, "At most three or four are some merchants. It seems that we haven't hurt the common people."

Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Gui full of disappointment, and said, "Uncle Huang, you know three or four human lives, and you may not know more. If you extort money, the servants under you will bully others even more. Those officials who are driven by you , I'm afraid it will be even more brutal."

"Grandpa Huang couldn't survive in his hometown back then. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are true." Zhu Yunying was heartbroken, "If there were some capable ministers and officials back then, Grandpa Huang would not have raised the banner of righteousness. We were born in the royal family, and we were also born in a peasant family!"

Zhu Gui seemed to know that he was afraid and regretted it, but in his heart, he really didn't care.

Who is he? He is the son of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His mother and concubine are the daughters of Guo Zixing and his second wife, Mrs. Xiao Zhang. They are very favored for giving birth to three sons and two daughters for the emperor.

He really doesn't like those ordinary people.Even if he is a nobleman, a prince and a grandson, even if the current emperor is in front of him, he is just a nephew!

Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu and said, "Grandfather, if you want us to say, let Uncle Thirteen go back to his hometown."

Old Zhu was silent, he was really disappointed with Zhu Gui.As for Zhu Yunying's fate, Lao Zhu felt that he still needed to listen. After all, although Lao Zhu loved his people very much, he was also a person who was extremely protective and valued his children.

Zhu Gui seemed to panic all of a sudden. He might be guarding the imperial tomb when he returned to his hometown in Fengyang.But what is more likely is that being deprived of the king's title and demoted to a commoner will be sent to Fengyang High Wall!

"Father, I know I'm wrong!" Zhu Gui panicked, kneeling in front of Lao Zhu, "It was all done by the people below, it has nothing to do with me!"

Let alone Zhu Yunying this time, Lao Zhu was even more disappointed.This Zhu Gui, mud can't support the wall!
