Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 445 It's Too Early
Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were chatting in Fengtian Hall, and they were also talking about their respective understandings. Generally speaking, the atmosphere was very good.

But in the Yang Mansion at this moment, it can be said that there is a lot of traffic.Although when Yang Jing was in office, even if he was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, most people really didn't dare to 'get close' to him too much because of his incorruptibility and integrity.Furthermore, even if Yang Jing is a first-class minister, he was born in a commoner family and does not have a solid family background.

But at this moment, whether it was out of respect for the deceased, or the tone set by the emperor in the court, countless people began to go to the Yang Mansion to express their condolences.Even if it might be inconvenient for some people to come forward, they must send their closest juniors.

On Wu Xun's side, it was more or less just because of giving the emperor face.As for the Wenchen Group, whether they are sincere or false, they need to come forward now.What happened after Yang Jing's death also belonged to the interests of the civil official group, so he had to work hard to fight for it.

Just when the whole Yang family seemed to be sad, the butler hurriedly whispered, "Young Master, His Royal Highness Xu Wang is here."

Yang Jing's eldest son, Yang Shen, got up immediately, wiped away his tears and hurried to the outside of the house.At this time, many people followed him out, regardless of whether Zhu Yunqi was the emperor's favorite brother or not, but he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and this status was very detached.What's more, many people also know that Zhu Yunqi came here this time by order.

"Don't be too polite." Zhu Yunwen stepped forward quickly and helped Yang Shen up, "Mr. Zhongning has a good command of classics, history, righteousness, erudite literature, and excellent academic conduct. He is really a role model for our generation! The death of Mr. Zhongning is really a pain for the court." Lost pillars!"

Yang Shen didn't think that Zhu Yunqi's words were overstepping, even though he was only in the Imperial College and didn't have a real official status yet.But he also knew something. He knew that what Zhu Yunqi said must have been ordered by the emperor.

Although it is only Zhu Yunqi, the entire Yang family is also honored.Even if this is not the emperor's favorite King Wu, he is still the emperor's younger brother.The most important thing is that if King Wu comes, he will indeed be 'decent', but everyone knows what kind of character King Wu is, and they all know that King Xu is more suitable for such an occasion.

There was an endless stream of mourners, and it seemed that the momentum of the Yang family had reached its peak at this moment.

Just when many people thought it was almost time, a voice suddenly came from outside, and the imperial decree came.

Wang Chengen stood outside the gate of the Yang Mansion, looking at the slightly shabby Yang Mansion, he knew that he would never make a mistake in his mission this time.

The middle door of the Yang Mansion is wide open, let alone the Yang Mansion, even the guests who came to express their condolences are all waiting outside the Yang Mansion at this time, which is naturally a kind of respect for the imperial power , this piece of any problem.

Wang Chengen took out the imperial decree covered with yellow silk from the offering plate, and said loudly when everyone else knelt down, "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, make the day"

In fact, the beginning of the imperial decree was also formulated by Lao Zhu.

There are also three versions of the imperial decree: "Zhaoyue, Zhiyue, and Chiyue". The "zhaoyue" is naturally announced to the world, and it is only used when major political events need to be announced to the subjects of the world.The Zhiyue is used when expressing the emperor's grace and announcing the officials.As for the "Chi Yue", it was used by the emperor to warn officials to guard against arrogance and impetuosity when they added ranks to officials.

Yang Shen and his two younger brothers were very grateful, because the emperor posthumously granted their father the title of Prince Shaoshi and was buried with Dongling, which is undoubtedly an extremely respected status.As for the emperor rewarding gold and silver, this is a trivial matter.

What's more, Yang Shen's funeral clothes are also the bullfighting clothes specially rewarded by the palace, as well as other funeral ceremonies.

Among Yang Jing's three sons, the eldest son, Yang Shen, was originally a student of the Imperial Academy, so he could shade officials.It's just that Ding You doesn't need to go to work immediately.The second son is the general banner of Jinyiwei, and the youngest son is the small banner of Jinyiwei. This is also an official position that can be hereditary.

It is obvious that Zhu Yunying gave Yang Jing supreme glory, and it can even be said that Yang Jing has become a banner of civil servants.

Everyone in the Yang family was overwhelmed with gratitude, Zhu Yunying naturally didn't know about it at this time.However, such things are indeed what Zhu Yunying thinks he should do, and this is also an affirmation of the loyal courtiers.

It can even be said that some high-ranking officials before the Ming Dynasty were able to retreat unscathed, very few.Although Yang Jing died of illness while in office, this kind of mourning can be regarded as a small change.

The Ming Dynasty will not continue to slaughter heroes like crazy now.As long as these civil and military officials are not corrupt and perverting the law, etc., there is no need to worry about cleaning and other issues.In the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to use crazy purges to change the administration of officials.

Little Zhu came running happily. The tiger-headed little guy was showing off his newly learned characters, reciting them with style.This also made Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu very relieved. The prince of the Ming Dynasty looked more and more handsome.

This is definitely a good thing. For Xiao Zhu's future, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are naturally full of expectations.They never slack off on little Zhu's training and education.The way of educating little Zhu is basically hands-on.

This is also a matter of course, Xiao Xiaozhu should be cultivated in the model of an emperor, this is the most correct way.

"Father, we just watched it today, and none of our companions have official status." Little Zhu was not satisfied, and lay on Zhu Yunying's lap and said, "Father, all your officials are official status, why? Does our companion have no official status?"

This bastard is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Now he knows how to 'train a team', and now he will help his subordinates to get officials.This little bastard was even more unscrupulous than Xiao Zhu back then.

"How old are your companions?" Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Besides, your companions also have official status. Besides, most of them are some honorable eldest sons, and some are already conferred princes Now, what official status do you want?"

Little Zhu thought for a while, and said, "The cousin of the eldest aunt's family is the son of the Duke, what rank is he?"

Zhu Yunying's eldest nephew is of course the Duke's son, but in fact he hasn't been canonized yet, mainly because he hasn't turned ten years old yet.What's more, even if it is the prince of the state, it is just a prince, and there is no rank in fact.

"Grandpa Huang, you should tell Yin'er about this." Zhu Yunying pointed to the memorial on the desk and said, "We still have some things to do now. We won't approve these papers, and I don't feel very at ease."

Old Zhu was naturally very satisfied with Xiao Zhu's arrangement.He went to give lectures to little Zhu. This was something that Lao Zhu liked more, and it was also the thing that he valued the most after he abdicated.

And Xiao Zhu handled the political affairs well, which is naturally what an emperor should do.Even though it seemed that Xiao Zhu wanted to be lazy, he was still a diligent emperor after all, and he was just trying to give some grassroots officials autonomy.

Lao Zhu took Xiao Xiaozhu and left. It would be better for Lao Zhu to teach the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is something that cannot be ignored.

As for little Zhu asking for an official for his 'team', Zhu Yunying just let it go with a smile, and really don't need to take it to heart.

In fact, if little Zhu grows up a little longer, his team will definitely become thicker.Even though Xiao Zhu is the crown prince now, he is still relatively young, and he really can't do anything now. Having too many important ministers in his team may not have any effect.

What's more, of the guards and companions around Xiao Zhu, which one is of ordinary background?As long as Xiao Zhu grows up a bit, this kid's throne will stick to his ass even more, it's the kind that he can't get rid of even if he wants to.

It's better to continue to deal with some political affairs with peace of mind. Zhu Yunying is still busy now, and there is really no way to relax, so she has to keep working hard.

As for the affairs of Yang Jing's death, Zhu Yunying felt that Yang Jing was chasing after him and comforting the hero's heirs.

It doesn't matter what the posthumous title is, maybe the civil official group is like a chicken blood at this time.But Zhu Yunying has set the tone for some things, and he really won't let some things go beyond his control.

Now he is just giving some benefits, giving some hope, and seeing the people below jumping around below, this is also a more interesting thing.

While Zhu Yunying was handling government affairs, Wang Chengen, who had finished announcing the decree, also returned to the palace.He is the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, if it weren't for the special case of Yang Jing, there is no need for Wang Chengen to go out to announce the decree.

As for Wang Chengen's absence, it actually didn't have much impact on Zhu Yunying.The only thing that cannot be lacking in the palace is the emperor. As for other positions, there is no need to worry about no one taking the top. Many people just don't have the chance to stand out.

When Wang Chengen came back, he naturally waited on him, which made the other eunuchs feel sour.As long as they have Wang Chengen, it is basically impossible for them to get ahead.

After the political affairs were handled, Zhu Yunying asked casually, "What's the matter with the Yang Mansion?"

"My lord, it's okay for this servant to look at." Wang Chengen replied immediately, "It's just that this servant looks at it, the Yang residence is a bit shabby."

Zhu Yunying was not surprised at all, even though there were indeed some corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, not all of them were corrupt officials.Yang Jing is obviously not a corrupt official. If Zhu Yunying hadn't raised some salaries before, or occasionally gave some rewards to this honest official, Yang Jing would basically be unable to support his family.

Even Yang Jing's current house was given to Yang Jing by Lao Zhu after he killed a corrupt official.

Naturally, there is no need to worry too much about these things. Although Yang Jing is an upright official and has almost nothing in his family, it's just that the court is taking care of Yang Jing's family now, so Yang Jing's family will not be lost all of a sudden. .

What's more, now that Yang Jing is also buried in Dongling, Yang Jing's funeral is no longer a matter for the Yang family to decide. Now that the court has basically taken over, naturally there can be no ambiguity, and there is no need to worry about any mistakes. .

In the final analysis, it is true that the founding of the Ming Dynasty was only 32 years old. It is just that many regulations and rules have been settled, and some things should be done according to the rules.

After returning to the East Palace, Xu Miaoqing got up and said, "Your Majesty, we heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment has passed away. I have also met his wife before, and she is quite virtuous and virtuous."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yunying looked at Xu Miaoqing and asked with a smile, "There is a woman of the right age in the Yang family, who can marry into our royal family?"

Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "There is also a young girl in his family. The concubine means that if it is suitable, the concubine wants to give it to the elder nephew."

"Isn't it a little early?" Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "The eldest son of my uncle is only nine years old now, so it's a little early to say this now. You'd better look again, who knows that the girl of the Yang family will be a few years later What does it look like!"

Xu Miaoqing couldn't help laughing too. Thinking about it now, she seemed a little too anxious.Although I also want to help my mother's family, it seems that there is really no need to rush to find a wife for my eldest nephew. There is really no need to be too anxious about this matter, and there is nothing wrong with waiting.

"Speaking of which, let's not only think about your natal family, our daughter-in-law, you also have to pay attention." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Xu Miaoqing, "We didn't want to get married too early, but if our son doesn't We should be anxious to get married early."

Xu Miaoqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, regarding Yin'er's marriage, the concubine still doesn't have much to say."

"Yin'er's marriage is really not a trivial matter, but you have to pay attention to Xungui." Zhu Yunying said, and it was quite serious, "Our daughter-in-law is the queen, and character is very important."

This matter really cannot be sloppy.The crown prince's marriage is an out-and-out major event, and it is also a major event for the entire court. Although it is a bit early to start thinking about it now, it is not harmful to just remind it a little.

In fact, there is Zhu Yunying comforting Xu Miaoqing here, although Xu Miaoqing has already given birth to a child, but when she was pregnant with little Zhu, Xu Miaoqing was more excited, excited and looking forward to it.But now, she has more things to think about.

It's still necessary to appease his wife a little bit, Zhu Yunying thinks it should be done for such a thing.

Even if he becomes the emperor, it doesn't mean that Zhu Yunying has completely lost his normal human emotions.

In fact, after becoming the emperor, Zhu Yunying also felt a little overwhelmed at some times, and the feeling of being alone became more and more obvious.Therefore, Zhu Yunying is also very concerned about people who can bring family affection.

Talking with Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Yunying's mood also got a little relaxation.I have been busy dealing with important affairs of the court, and sometimes my heart will be heavy.It is not easy to fight with civil and military officials.

Now, it's good to chat and relax with people close to you.
