Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 511 The Fearless Clan (Please Subscribe!!!)
Regarding the arrival of Zhu Xi and Zhu Jixuan, Zhu Yunying naturally knew very well that he sent people to come here.

"Show the king of Zhou a seat." Zhu Yunying said to Wang Cheng'en, "Ji Xi just stood there, you don't worry!"

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Zhu Jixi immediately lowered his head, "My brother is guilty."

For this imperial brother, Zhu Jixi and others still have some psychological shadows.The reason is also very simple, even though they are all grandsons of Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Jixi and other princes' sons also grew up in Yingtian Mansion.But since childhood, they have lived in the shadow of their cousin.

It’s okay if the cousin doesn’t want to go to the main hall. The cousin can also inspect their studies and suggest their lecturers.If there is any sacrificial activity, this cousin will even stand in front of the prince, because he is the eldest grandson of Emperor Hongwu and the grandson of Ming Dynasty, and his status is lower than that of the favored kings of Qin, Jin, Yan, and Zhou. The prince is even more honorable.

The princes are not comparable to the grandsons of the emperor, so let alone those princes and sons, there is no comparison.

Even if he is only one year younger than Zhu Yunying, Zhu Jixi actually knows a little bit about what kind of person his cousin is.Among other things, when he was still a Mengtong, his cousin could chat and laugh happily with his uncles.

When I was a child, I might be a little afraid of my cousin, thinking that my cousin was smart and favored.But now that he's grown up and sensible, he realizes that there are rumors that his cousin has Su Hui. That's not a rumor, it's a fact.Moreover, this cousin learned the emperor's mind technique when he was a child.

"You guys, I don't bother to talk about it." Zhu Yunying was not too polite, who told him to be an older brother, "Second uncle and third uncle are not here, so we have to watch you. Fan, they also treated us kindly when we were in Beijing. When we were in Beiping and patrolling the north, our second uncle and third uncle led troops to protect us."

Zhu Huan said with a smile, "Lao Qi is an asshole, the second brother and the third brother scolded that asshole a lot."

This is naturally referring to Zhu Yunying's northern tours in the early years, Qi Wang Zhu Yu dawdling, and there were some things about putting on airs as an elder.This is also the reason why the king of Qi, Zhu Yu, seems to have been 'disgusted' and 'snubbed' by Zhu Yunying all these years.

"Everyone around Uncle Qi is fine, but he has a violent temper." Zhu Yunying was not polite, and he was used to commenting on his uncle, "If he is a vassal, some of them are illegal. I originally wanted him to go to Dongying. Grandpa forbids it, saying that Uncle Seven is not good at governing the people."

The three kingdoms of Dongying are at the same time. In addition to the emperor of Dongying, Zhu Di, the king of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, took over with a strong force and fought in the south and north.Immediately to prevent the king of Yan from becoming bigger, it can be said that he lacked help. Two years ago, the sixth son of Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, was entrusted to the past, and it seemed that the country was about to be founded.

This is definitely not the handwriting of Zhu Yunying to take back the fiefdom of Nanchang, King Zhu Zhen of Chu, it is simply a strategy to let the prince of Ming Dynasty divide the fiefdom overseas.

The actual cost of enfeoffment overseas is higher, and to help lay down some foundation land, money must be given to people at the beginning.

What's more, Zhu Zhen, who likes to take advantage of others, can't stand himself as king, so he can justifiably continue to ask for money from court dignitaries.Otherwise, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but have a headache because she would go to the booklet for help every now and then.

Therefore, as long as it is about their own interests, each of them is very precise, and each of them is cracking their abacus.

"If Uncle Qi is willing, you can go to Goryeo after you fight it." Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Goryeo is actually pretty good. Let's not say that Goryeo has always admired the culture of the Central Plains. Confucianism is also deeply rooted there. Then The first is that the four counties of Han Dynasty were originally annexed by Korea in the end, but they lasted for hundreds of years anyway."

Zhu Huan stopped talking. It is a good choice to start a country outside and have a place to build a business, but there is no comfort in the Central Plains.

What's more, in the four counties of Han, it has lasted for hundreds of years, that is to say, there have always been wars, and fighting and killing is not what he is interested in as the king of Zhou. It is more in line with him to live in Daming and be a wealthy prince. character.

As for Zhu Jixuan, he didn't say much at this time, he seemed to have the same idea.Although it seems good to be a country leader outside, but he still doesn't think he has the talent to lead troops to fight or something.

If I really want to say it, the descendants of Lao Zhu in the clan generally know soldiers more or less.This also has a lot to do with Lao Zhu's training. Many of Lao Zhu's heirs do have actual experience in leading troops, and some have even been on the battlefield.

As for the grandchildren of old Zhu, even the precocious Zhu Yunying actually didn't have much experience and ability to lead troops.

In the final analysis, it is Lao Zhu's sons, or they were born before the founding of the country, and it was more chaotic at that time.Or at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that the old Zhu Ding had ruled the world, but everyone was worried that there would be some unstable factors.

It's better to be in the territory of Daming. If you don't have power, you don't have power, but you are rich and comfortable, and it will become more and more comfortable.

Zhu Yunying didn't say anything more, just asked, "What's going on with King Zhaode now?"

Zhu Huan immediately got up and said respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty, the king of Zhaode County complained that King Gong of Jin was biased and tried to falsely accuse King Jin."

This is not surprising, Zhu Jixi was thinking like this, thinking of overthrowing Zhu Jixi and replacing him.There is no psychological pressure to make false accusations or anything. Anyway, he is a half-brother. As long as he can be a prince, he doesn't care about those things.

Zhu Huan continued, "The minister was ordered to investigate, and the king of Zhaode County mostly committed violent things in his mansion. He was very angry with King Gong of the former Jin Dynasty, and he also neglected his mother-in-law Princess Jin."

Glancing at Zhu Jixuan, Zhu Yunying asked, "Is what King Zhou said true?"

"It has been found out that the king of Zhaode County has tortured and killed palace servants in his mansion. He was poisonous and dumb, and killed no less than three servants." Zhu Jixi did not hide it. After drinking, most of them abuse servants and concubines of the county. When drunk, there are many disrespectful words."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, and said, "Shut up the house, such rebellious people are in vain of the blood of the emperor's grandfather, and will be punished when the emperor returns to Beijing."

Zhu Jixi didn't know what to say, because his father was the kind who liked to blame the cook, gallop the horse to tie people up, or break the car.If it hadn't been for Da Zhu's protection at the beginning, the king of King Jin would have been abolished by Lao Zhu long ago.

Zhu Jixi really didn't intend to protect his half-brother, the main reason was that there was such a poisonous snake staring behind him all the time, and thinking about it made him shudder.

After Zhu Yun and Zhu Jixuan left the palace, Zhu Yunying also sighed silently, and he didn't know what to say.

Among Lao Zhu's children and grandchildren, there is indeed no lack of some cruel people, not to mention the clan, even among the nobles and even the powerful landlords, there are many people who don't take human life seriously. It seems that it is difficult to completely ban them, because This is human nature.

It seems that Zhu Yunying should not just rectify the administration of officials. It is not enough for Xungui to be beaten, and the clan also needs to clean up.

When Lao Zhu was in power, many princes committed crimes.Now that Zhu Yunying has ascended the throne, even if it seems that the clan of the Ming Dynasty is either in Yingtian Mansion or Beiping Mansion, but they are only placed in the two capitals, it seems that they do not have particularly great power.

But the identity of the clan is there, and each of them is high above.Relying on knowing that Lao Zhu values ​​blood and family ties, and relying on the fact that Zhu Yunying, the new monarch, is either a junior or a cousin, he can be regarded as confident.

"In the final analysis, our Ming Dynasty has never sent down the clan, or punished us." Zhu Yunying sighed, and said, "This is nothing to be afraid of. Do you think our Emperor of Ming Dynasty will only blindly protect his shortcomings?"

The Ming Dynasty really didn't really severely punish the clan, just like the former King Zhu of Jin who was brutal and fierce, but with the protection of Da Zhu, Lao Zhu just let it go.Even Zhu Yan's posthumous title is 'King Gong of Jin'.

At the beginning, Zhu Huan left the fief without authorization, and Lao Zhu was actually a small punishment and a big punishment, and it was enough to scare him.

Although Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew who guarded Hongdu at the time, was dissatisfied with Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu was only placed under house arrest.But even so, Lao Zhu still named Zhu Shouqian, Zhu Wenzheng's son, King of Jingjiang County.Even if this Zhu Shouqian is also plundering and killing innocent people, plundering and extorting money, and never reforming after repeated admonitions, Lao Zhu will only cut off the king's title first, but will soon regain his title.

Many people are actually very clear that Emperor Hongwu is absolutely cruel to outsiders.But for his nephew, he always protects him.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Yunwen in history successively deposed King Zhou, King Dai, King Qi, and King Min, forcing King Xiang to set himself on fire and die.This is cruel enough, but it does have some effect, because Zhu Di was forced to pretend to be crazy in order to protect himself.

In this matter, it is better not to let Lao Zhu be a bad person, or else this will simply add trouble to Lao Zhu.

"Abolishing the title of county king seems to be unacceptable to the emperor's grandfather. He will feel that it is too heavy." Zhu Yunying thought for a while and analyzed, "Besides, the previous series of reductions in the clan's treatment are not unacceptable to a county king."

The clan was treated too generously, and in history, Lao Zhu was the first to take the blame.Then, in order to win over the clan, Zhu Di, who was not in the right position, once again raised the clan's treatment, which became the source of the so-called Ming court's inability to support the clan.

But it doesn't exist now, Zhu Yunying will not always support the clan, and it must be broken when it should be broken.

"Or let him go to Taiyuan, the second uncle's royal tomb is over there. Although there are guards guarding the tomb, we still have to send a heir there." Zhu Yunying smiled and thought it was a good idea, "Wang Jue Save it for him, for his heirs. This is the last respect we, the big brother, give."

It seems good to let the children of the clan who made mistakes guard the royal tomb for their parents.If it is not a particularly serious crime, he will not be executed, nor can he be directly sent to Fengyang to be imprisoned by the high wall.

But this is just a 'small punishment, big commandment', if you don't learn the lesson, maybe you will really be demoted to a commoner, expelled from the clan, and assigned to Fengyang's high wall, that is the last option.
