Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 451 Freedom

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was quite contradictory, and sometimes it was dumbfounding.

For example, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the centralization of power, cleared some founding dignitaries, abolished the prime minister system, or established the five-army governor's office, etc. All these seem to be a proof of the emperor's desire to monopolize power.

Therefore, such an emperor is also in line with the impression of most people, and the desire for power is endless.

But nowadays the emperors of the Ming Dynasty don’t seem to know what “prevention” is. When Emperor Hongwu let the princes and grandsons intervene in the government almost endlessly, in many cases, Emperor Hongwu completely let his children and grandchildren control the court. Church.

There is no such thing as worrying about being forced to abdicate. He may just want to smooth out the thorny places and give his children and grandchildren a smooth world. He doesn't worry about his children and grandchildren taking power from him at all.

As for the current Emperor Yingshi, the same is true. He is now sitting on the Dragon Throne, but he doesn't care at all about the Supreme Emperor intervening in the affairs of the court.Even many things were caused by Emperor Yingshi deliberately asking the Supreme Emperor to come forward.

There is no such thing as worrying about damage to one's Tianwei. Emperor Yingshi and Emperor Hongwu seem to be defenseless against each other.

"The Supreme Emperor, Wu Xun is mostly employed in Wuyuan." Li Jinglong accompanied Lao Zhu, whispering, "At this moment, it is basically confirmed that Wuyuan will teach. Most of Wuyuan students are also selected by Xungui's heirs."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly, basically satisfied with such an arrangement.In fact, the Ming Dynasty also had martial arts before, but the 'military academy' was not as systematic as it is now, and it did not have such a large scale.

Looking at Li Jinglong with satisfaction, Lao Zhu was quite relieved, "You look a bit like your father, don't let us down."

Li Jinglong's biggest advantage is not only rich in theoretical knowledge, but also a master of "talking on paper".This one is that even Lao Zhu recognizes the existence of theoretical knowledge reserves.In fact, Li Jinglong's biggest advantage is that he is the son of Li Wenzhong and the grandson of the second sister of Lao Zhu. This background is the top of the pyramid.

"Cousin, my aunt, grandma, and cousins ​​of my aunt and sister-in-law are all going to enter the Martial Court." Unwilling to be lonely, Xiao Zhu immediately said, "There are also my uncle's family and my uncle's family. , have to enter the Martial Court."

Li Jinglong immediately replied, "Go back to Your Highness, the minister has already made arrangements."

"Remember to send those little brats of your family over there too, the third child of your family still needs to be taken care of." Old Zhu said cheerfully to Li Jinglong, "We remember that a few days ago, we still wanted to get along with you." The prince snatching the horse? How did your father, who is so cautious, raise you bastards who are not big or small!"

Li Jinglong was about to start breaking out in a cold sweat. His grandfather and father, who can be said to be Lao Zhu's own family, had received Lao Zhu's unparalleled trust and love.But even Li Jinglong himself was favored, but when it came to Li Jinglong's son, Lao Zhu only gave him a little respect.

My own boy, he has to tidy up when he goes back, and being able to be the prince's companion is the treatment only a true confidant can have.But even those cousins ​​of the Crown Prince should behave according to the rules.

Don't say that children are not very sensible when they are young. Children are not sensible but adults are sensible. After children quarrel, they will continue to fight together.But adults, they obviously can't completely ignore some things.

Little Zhu continued bouncing around, pointing to the martial arts arena and said, "This martial arts arena is bigger than ours!"

"It's because your father is stingy, he doesn't even want to build us a palace." Lao Zhu laughed and said, "We are in the palace after all, there is no such a big martial arts arena. It's different here, it's the Martial Academy , is the general who will lead your troops to fight in the future.”

Little Zhu was even happier, but he also retorted, "But our father said that he didn't build the palace."

"We love you for nothing!" Old Zhu was so angry and funny, he picked up little Zhu and patted his buttocks, "You have a rotten character with your father, and if you have anything, you can push it on us. If you want us Said, we shouldn't be so nice to you."

Little Zhu didn't care either. After being put down by Old Zhu, he twisted his body, touched his butt, and immediately ran towards the weapon rack.

Shuangquan didn't need to ask for instructions. If he really wanted to ask for instructions, he wouldn't follow Lao Zhu.Now that the Crown Prince ran to the weapon rack, Shuang Quan naturally had to hurry to follow.

Along with him was Xiao Zhu's fourth uncle, Xu Zengshou, who had to protect Xiao Zhu.

As Xiao Zhu's uncle, Xu Zengshou still wanted to persuade Xiao Zhu, "Your Highness, the Supreme Emperor does not allow it."

"Fourth uncle!" Little Zhu was upset, and said with a stern face, "When our father was young, our uncle and grandpa didn't stop our father!"

Can the situation be the same? !
Xu Zengshou was suffering in his heart. As the crown prince's uncle, the Xu family was naturally tied to the crown prince's chariot. In the military, his elder brother Xu Huizu led the army as the prince's background in the military and court.As for Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou, the two grown-up sons of Xu Da, Su Wei was by Xiao Zhu's side at ordinary times.Once little Zhu leaves the palace, one of these two must be by Xiao Zhu's side.

Just like when Xiao Zhu was out of the palace, his three uncles took turns to guard him, and even dispatched collectively.This is the real 'family'. Even if the whole family is charged with crimes, they must try their best to ensure the safety of the crown prince and ensure his succession to the throne.

Although he didn't have much contact with Jinshang before, Xu Zengshou also knew that Jinshang was wise early.Today, when I was five or six years old, I ran around Manying Tianfu, and I went to the shipyard, government office, or Zhao prison. .

Ordinary people really didn't dare to treat Jinshang as an ordinary child at that time, otherwise they would definitely suffer a big loss.

As for the current crown prince, although everyone respects his identity, in fact, most of the time they just treat him as a child.There is still a big difference here, and there are still some gaps in it.

Especially Xiao Zhu's situation is special, the main reason is that this child is somewhat lawless, this is the absolute representative of a bear child, the little bully of the palace.No way, who made him have the biggest backer of the Ming Dynasty, even if the emperor wanted to control him, he might be beaten by the emperor.

Old Zhu looked at his great-grandson dotingly, and then said to Li Jinglong, "You don't need to worry about the emperor, he has soldiers and generals in his hands. You have to pay attention to the prince, and prepare some useful people for the prince. .”

What is foresight and foresight? Lao Zhu's side can be regarded as foresight and foresight, and it is not ordinary far.

Emperor Yingshi naturally didn't need to worry about it, because there were very few founding generals of the Ming Dynasty.But there are still mainstays like Fu Youde and Sapphire alive, and they are the biggest pillars of Emperor Yingshi in the army.

What's more, there are Xu Huizu and others who have already emerged and can provoke the leader. The five armies of the Ming Dynasty did not lack enough outstanding generals.Naturally, there is no need to worry so much about these things.

But for Xiao Zhu, it is necessary to start training in advance, so that Xiao Zhu can start thinking about mastering the army's team in advance.

This needs to look at the background, but also needs to look at the ability and potential.Now there are a lot of reliable people around Xiao Zhu, but whether those people can become Xiao Zhu's confidants in the future is actually hard to say.

There are some things that can't just be based on background, but also need to be based on ability.

Little Zhu was holding a long spear, it wasn't any kind of spear technique, it was simply sweeping across all directions, there was no such thing as a spear technique at all.

Li Jinglong was a little more courageous, and said, "His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are in the same lineage, and both have perseverance and determination. If it was a few years ago, if you want to come, you can fight everywhere with the Supreme Emperor."

"Don't think too highly of the emperor, that kid will be fine as a general, and his mind will be confused when he goes to battle." Lao Zhu laughed, but it was just a little talk, "He has some perseverance and determination, and he is not afraid Bitter nature."

It's good to say witty words, and it's also because of the close relationship that I can say a little bit.The others obviously didn't have such a treatment in front of Lao Zhu, and they probably couldn't let go.

Lao Zhu looked around, and then said, "Remember to talk to the emperor about these things. It's fine if we come out now, the emperor is in charge of everything. You should know these things well."

Naturally, Li Jinglong agreed in a hurry. In fact, Lao Zhu didn't need to deliberately remind these things. Li Jinglong actually knew such "big right and wrong".

In fact, for these courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, they have always been in a difficult situation.

Regardless of whether it was the time of Emperor Hongwu or the time of Emperor Yingshi, this emperor was not defensive about those closest to them, and they didn't think there was any problem with each other.But the courtiers are in a dilemma, because in the final analysis, we need to pay attention to 'loyalty'.

Lao Zhu walked around the Wuyuan, carefully looked at the preparations of the Wuyuan, and gave some suggestions of his own. After all, Lao Zhu is a person who knows the soldiers, and he should pay attention to the focus, courses, etc. of the Wuyuan. Wait, I know it well.

Little Zhu was beaming with joy, because Wuyuan was still very attractive to him, and in Little Zhu's view, this place was naturally a very fun place.

It's just that no matter how fun this place is, for Xiao Xiaozhu, it's still a place to stay for a short time. His main place of living is the palace.

As for the many princes in the Ming Dynasty, their hearts are more bitter now, especially those princes who were once entrusted outside, they have to consider moving.

During the Taishanghuang's birthday, everyone knew about the 'cutting the feudal clan', even that was not cutting the feudal clan at all, it was just an order from the Taishanghuang that these princes who had obtained fiefdoms in the hands of the Taishanghuang should now return obediently Heaven is here.

For these princes, they have only two choices now, either stay in Yingtian Mansion or go to Peiping.That is, the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty. They will mainly live in one of the cities in the future.

No way, who made them princes.As a clan, they had incomparable glory when they were born, and they were basically incomparably rich.It's just that as a clan, they are born to be feared by some people.

If it weren't for the Taishanghuang and Jinshang's "kindheartedness" and the power in their hands, as well as the protection of these two emperors and their concern for the clan, maybe some officials would come forward.

In the past dynasties, the clan was the existence of prestige in the eyes of some officials, and some emperors were also happy to see some clans become stepping stones for some people.

Zhu Yunxi is the old god, he was born in Yingtian Mansion and grew up in this city.Even if he had the experience of going out on orders, or the experience of sneaking out by himself, he was indeed used to the life of Ying Tianfu.

Even if he likes to be with his elder brother and sister very much, even in Beiping Mansion there is a sufficiently magnificent Wu Wang Mansion, but Zhu Yunxi has no plan to move, and he will always live in Yingtian Mansion in the future.

"Fifth Uncle, if you want us to talk, let's study in Yingtian Mansion." Zhu Yunxi said proudly while drinking, "Let's go with Uncle Eleven and study together. We think about next year, we will go out for a while change."

Zhu Wei glanced at this nephew, and said angrily, "With your temperament, sooner or later you will cause a big disaster. We almost got sent to Yunnan back then, did you forget?"

This is the representative of a free soul. Lao Zhu dared to leave the fief when he was in power. This one can also be said to be an absolute warrior.

"That's different. In the past, the prince could not leave the fief without authorization, but the emperor didn't mean that, and he didn't say that the clan was not allowed to take the post." Zhu Yunxi said triumphantly, "Our emperor allowed it, and the clan government agreed, The emperor agreed, and the clan can travel freely, but it must not be publicized or interfere with the place."

Zhu Huan became more energetic, and quickly asked, "Is there such a saying? Back then, we wanted to go around and see our beautiful Ming Dynasty, but now we can do it?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded again and again, and said, "Brother Huang told us that our clan can go out, but we have to come back on time when we go out."

"We know that our identity is sensitive, and we don't interfere in local government affairs, and we don't go to the guards to meet soldiers. We just travel around." Zhu Huan said quickly, "We ran around in those days, but being confined in Kaifeng was really boring. "

Zhu Chun also said, "We have read a lot of books, and we also want to go out and have a look. It's just that we can only be in Sichuan before, and we can't see the great rivers and mountains."

This time Zhu Yunxi became even more excited, because his emperor brother was still very kind.Don't look at cutting the clan's fiefdom, but the treatment for the clan is not bad.

And even if the future clan doesn't have the freedom to run around, the restrictions are not too many.What's more, if the clan's salary is generous enough, not to mention traveling in the mountains and rivers, it is also allowed by the court to take up some positions.

It seems that it is not a blessing to lose a horse. These clans seem to have lost their fiefs, and they have no way to be emperors.But these people are also 'free'.
