Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 436
September 72th, the second year of Yingshi, was the [-]nd birthday of Emperor Hongwu, and the court attached great importance to this matter.

Zhu Yunying got up early, and then immediately rushed towards Qianqing Palace.For Lao Zhu's birthday, Zhu Yunying also attaches great importance to it. He is also happy from the bottom of his heart. This is a moment worth being happy.

As soon as he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but laugh.At this moment, the Qianqing Palace can be regarded as brightly lit, and Lao Zhu is obviously up.

Zhu Yunying entered the hall and immediately knelt down, "Grandson congratulates the emperor's grandpa on his birthday, and may the emperor's grandfather live longer than Nanshan!"

"Get up." Old Zhu said cheerfully, "Our grandson has filial piety, we just know it. That's a long life, just listen to it."

Little Zhu was restless at this time, "Father, we've finished our breakfast, so we'll wait for you!"

There was nothing to say, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu immediately led Xiao Xiao Zhu towards Jinshen Hall.After changing into the court clothes, Lao Zhu walked towards Huagai Hall with his grandson and great-grandson.

Old Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu with a smile, and accepted the visits from the court deacons, and then went to Fengtian Hall to receive the congratulations from all the officials.

Look, it's full of ritual.Haven't gone to the 'Jinluan Palace' Fengtian Temple yet.But now we have come to the other two main halls of the three main halls, and we will go to the Fengtian Hall next, which is also the most important part of Lao Zhu's birthday.

"Yin'er, after you pass by, watch the schedule." Old Zhu patiently explained to Xiao Zhu, "Let's make people sound the whip earlier, you know?"

Little Zhu nodded quickly, although he was quite familiar with this process.It's just that he still nods obediently now, even though he is still playful now, Xiao Zhu knows something anyway.

It's good for Xiao Zhu to listen by the side, and it seems that these things really don't need him to worry too much.Not only because he believed that Xiao Zhu had already mastered these skills, but also because Shuang Quan would be by Xiao Zhu's side when the time came, so naturally he didn't need to worry so much.

In fact, outside Fengtian Hall at this moment, the courtiers are already ready.Only civil and military personnel of the third rank or above are eligible to participate in this grand banquet, and civil and military personnel who can participate in such an occasion are considered important ministers without exception.

The courageous little Zhu will not be afraid, he walks ahead, and he knows exactly where Fengtian Temple is.Naturally, Shuangquan quickly followed, he had to take good care of this little master.

"Yin'er has grown up too." Looking at little Zhu's back, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "In another two years, maybe he can really help us with things."

Although Lao Zhu dotes on little Zhu, he also knows the reality, "We can't see it, Yin'er is no different from other children. You are precocious, and we can rest assured that you can do things early. As for Yin'er, he has no other thoughts now."

It is natural for Lao Zhu to say that, and little Zhu is basically no different from other children.It is very unrealistic to really expect this child to be able to do things now.

It's better to recognize the reality clearly, and don't expect too much from Xiao Zhu now.Otherwise, not only these adults will be disappointed, but also little Zhu will be burdened with too much burden early on, which is obviously not something everyone wants to see.

At this moment, outside the Fengtian Hall, Jin Yiwei set up Huang Hui in the east and west of the hall, and Jin Wu and other guards set up 24 guards in the east and west of the hall.The Secretary of Jiaofang set up nine music and songs in the hall, set up great music outside the hall, and set up three dance teams in His Royal Highness.

Seeing Xiao Zhu's arrival, all the civil and military officials and honorable clan members rushed to greet him one by one.There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, even if Xiao Zhu is still a child, but he is the heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty, and the status of monarch and ministers can be regarded as settled early.

This is the treatment of important ministers, the third-rank officials are waiting here.As for the fourth-rank officials and fifth-rank officials, their treatment is waiting at the Meridian Gate, so who can't keep up with their ranks.

Little Zhu looked around and asked, "Where's our younger brother?"

A little eunuch said quickly, "Go back to His Royal Highness, the Second Prince is asleep."

Little Zhu was not very happy, and said, "Sleeping again? Forget it, my father said that the second child will not be called when he falls asleep. Take him back, and he will not be allowed to go to the banquet."

Little Zhu is naturally qualified to call the shots. Little Zhu is obviously not very happy that his little brother Zhu Wenqi lost the chain at a critical moment.But little Zhu can't help it, who told his father to explain it before, so he should be obedient.

Wang's personal eunuch did not dare to say anything, but felt aggrieved.His Royal Highness the Second Prince can't even speak, how can he participate in the banquet?But thinking that the Second Prince missed the Supreme Emperor's birthday, this is definitely not a bonus.What's more, the absence this time made His Royal Highness very unhappy.

It's just that at this time, the eunuchs around Wang also knew that of course they wanted to obey the crown prince's words, and at this time they could only take His Highness the second prince back.

At this moment, little Zhu is very calm, he stands at the front as a matter of course, this is the treatment of the crown prince.

Three whips sounded, and the supervisory censor originally wanted to remind him.But there was no need to remind at all, the little prince in court clothes walked with a stern face when the music played.

Under Xiao Zhu's leadership, clan princes, civil and military officials also began to enter Fengtian Hall.

Little Zhu knew his position, and there was a special seat to the east of the throne, which belonged to the crown prince.And on the west side are the seats of the princes.As for the officials, their treatment is to stand in the hall.

When everyone came to their own positions, the loud music also stopped.

Xiao Zhu, who was sitting in front of Lao Zhu, got up and said to Xiao Xiao Zhu, "Prince, lead all the officials to congratulate you."

Little Zhu got up immediately. In fact, it wasn't just little Zhu at this time, everyone got up except Lao Zhu.Only Lao Zhu was sitting with a smile on his face, watching everyone congratulate him on his birthday.

The little prince's performance can be said to be quite good. Seeing the little guy's performance like this, everyone seems to be quite satisfied.This child is usually naughty, but at this critical moment, he still hasn't lost the chain.

Playing music, eating wine, eating soup, eating, etc., all of these are programmed.Even if you want to lift your chopsticks, you have to follow the procedure, not just lift your chopsticks if you want to.Once there is something that does not conform to the procedure, the supervisory censor must definitely record it.

Generally speaking, Lao Zhu's birthday banquet was held quite well this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a universal celebration.

Lao Zhu was also very happy at this time. On this birthday, Lao Zhu also spoke naturally, saying something that seemed extremely important.

The first one is to confirm some clan rules of the Ming Dynasty.The many princes of the Ming Dynasty should no longer be vassals, and the imperial court will build palaces in Yingtianfu and Beiping City.

Don't care what those clans think, but at this moment, no matter how unhappy you are in your heart, you can't show any dissatisfaction on the surface.Otherwise, if one is charged with resentment, he will inevitably suffer some setbacks.

Although rumors of "cutting the feudal clan" have long been heard by the imperial court, and even the imperial court has made some moves before, anyone with a discerning eye can see the determination of the imperial court to cut the feudal clan.

It's just that it's completely clear now that there is Lao Zhu speaking here, which is the so-called one force and ten meetings.If the clan members dare to oppose the decision made by Lao Zhu, it would be disloyal and unfilial.

In fact, the vast majority of courtiers are quite supportive of the reduction of the vassal, and the vassal king seems to be of some help to the court.It's just that in the eyes of many courtiers, the vassal king must have more hidden dangers.

Now that the imperial court cut down the vassals, these people naturally feel that everyone is happy, and naturally there is no voice of opposition from the ruling and opposition parties.

For Zhu Yunying, such things as cutting the feudal clan were completed so easily and smoothly.In fact, in Zhu Yunying's heart, he never thought it was difficult to cut down the feudal clan.

Especially now that Lao Zhu has come forward, cutting down the feudal clan is a matter of course.Especially now that Lao Zhu is in charge, it is even easier to cut down the feudal clan.As long as Lao Zhu nodded his head, there would be no difficulty in cutting the feudal clan.

After all, to these clan vassals, Lao Zhu is not just a king, but also the father and grandfather of these vassals. Their honors are also given by Lao Zhu, so Lao Zhu naturally has enough rights to deprived.

In fact, in Zhu Yunying's heart, the clan vassal king has never been a so-called confidant, at least at this stage, there is really no real threat to the vassal king.Zhu Yunying just doesn't want the vassal king to become bigger, so it's better to cut it off now.

This matter can be regarded as "happy to all", at most it is just the depression of those princes who used to be feudal vassals.Regarding this matter, other people basically think that this is a good thing for the country and the people.

As for whether other people can't eat at this time, it seems that there is actually no big problem.Even if the vassal was cut, Zhu Yunying would not treat these clans harshly, so there must be no problem.

Zhu Yunying, who was in a good mood, felt that many hidden dangers had been removed in advance, and the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have no way to become bigger.But after a long time, the vassal king does have the possibility of becoming bigger.But now, these hidden dangers have been solved in a legitimate way, and it should be clear.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, Lao Zhu also smiled. He is also in a very good mood now.

In addition to this eldest grandson with outstanding abilities, the great-grandson who was serious just now is eating a lot, and Lao Zhu feels happy and satisfied just looking at it.

In addition to announcing the justifiable removal of the vassal king, Lao Zhu also announced the full expansion of the Royal Bank at this time.For many people, this may not be a good thing.

It's just that at this stage, with the Supreme Emperor sitting in charge, and the Emperor Yingshi acting arbitrarily, it seems that there is no problem with the establishment of the Royal Bank!
