Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 543 Power
As far as artistic cells are concerned, the four generations of the old Zhu family actually have a lot of seeds for reading, or there are some who have researched on antiques, calligraphy and painting.

It's just obvious that Lao Zhu's lineage, for the time being, seems to be passed down from the desire for power.When it comes to artistic attainments, they really don't seem to care at all, and they don't even like it at all.

Needless to say, Da Zhu, even though he got the attention of Lao Zhu when he was just born, he began to train him carefully.But when Da Zhu was a child, it was also a troubled time, and Lao Zhu was still fighting the world.Even at that time, Lao Zhu was not the strongest force among the many separatist forces.

There are no rich and noble sons. What Lao Zhu and Empress Ma taught Da Zhu is to employ people and rule the world.What art and so on, it is too extravagant.

But when Xiao Zhu was born, Daming had already been established.Although the national strength was still relatively weak at that time, if Xiao Zhu wanted to say that he liked some artworks, etc., it was completely conditional.

But this young man is not interested in fine clothes and good food, and even doesn't care about eating, drinking and having fun.Then where is Daming's eldest grandson? Ordinary princes and grandsons may be more picky than Xiao Zhu.

Even though Lao Zhu and the others often sent some gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques to Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu didn't care at all.What he cares about is how much money is in the treasury and internal funds, and whether there is enough grain in the granary. Gold, silver and jade are of little value to him.

When it comes to Little Zhu, although the current Da Ming has the embryonic form of a prosperous age, but this one is too playful, and doesn't care about those antiques at all.Even if there are many collections in the palace, he is not interested at all.

"I have to go back and have a good talk with him. Even if I don't like it or enjoy it, I can't destroy it." Zhu Yunying had a headache, and even wanted to cry, "It is estimated that this is also acquiesced by the emperor's grandfather, and he definitely doesn't care. These calligraphy and paintings."

Lao Zhu really didn't care about calligraphy and painting, not to mention that his precious great-grandson inscribed and stamped the calligraphy, even if it was torn or burned, Lao Zhu would not feel any distress.

Even in Lao Zhu's simple values, some ancient characters and paintings have got little Zhu's seals and inscriptions, but those calligraphy and paintings have become valuable and valuable.His great-grandson is the best, and the others are not worth mentioning.

The wobbly Zhu Yunying returned to the East Palace, but he did not see his youngest son, that boy was still sleeping, and every time he rushed to sleep when Zhu Yunying came over.

"You have to talk to Yin'er later, we don't care about some collections in the palace, but he doesn't want to write nonsense, after all, it was left by the predecessors." Zhu Yunying rubbed his temples and said to Xu Miaoqing, "Also, that little bastard likes to be opportunistic, which is not very good."

Xu Miaoqing knew exactly what her son had done.Sometimes, Xu Miaoqing even felt a little ashamed, and she never imagined that her precious son could do such ridiculous things.

When Xu Miaoqing nodded, Zhu Yunying continued, "Let's say, even if those things are not put on the shelf, they should not be seen by Yin'er, and they will know what to do."

"Why are you so stupid?" Lao Zhu's voice came, and he said very unhappy, "Those calligraphy and paintings are reserved for our Yin'er. You said that the things of the predecessors should be kept. It is not our Yin who read it." You wrote it yourself. Tell yourself, among those who use seals and inscriptions, which one is as noble as our Yin'er!"

Well, as expected, it was exactly as Zhu Yunying had expected. Old Zhu obviously favored his precious great-grandson. Naturally, what Little Zhu did was the most correct, and there was no possibility of criticizing Little Zhu at all.

"Father, we also read the characters, that's because we felt it." Little Zhu said confidently, "We also read Zhao Ji's characters a few days ago, which made people collect a lot of historical materials and unofficial histories. We have also read "Prisoner's Notes" and "Southern Expedition Records", and if we want to say that Zhao Ji's words should be burned."

Old Zhu seemed to agree, and said, "We have the same thoughts as Yin'er, and Zhao Ji's beautiful country has been ruined, and he has been reduced to the iron hooves of barbarians."

"That's right!" Xiao Zhu said angrily, "I can't even protect my own wife and daughter, and the dignified concubine has been reduced to a prostitute village. That person is too spineless, and the Jin people besieged the city. with!"

Old Zhu looked like an old cynic, and said with a sneer, "Those sons of his are worthless. They fled to the south of the Yangtze River only for pleasure, so they have no ambitions at all. That's good. The Jin people are gone, and the Yuan people are here. The mausoleum has been turned upside down, if we hadn't helped build the six mausoleums of the Song Dynasty, the bones of those emperors and empresses would still be exposed to the sun."

Little Zhu became even more indignant, and said, "That's right, our great-grandfather was generous and redeemed the skull of Li Zong. The emperor's head became a wine vessel for those barbarians!"

Facing the barrage of the old and the young, Zhu Yunying seemed to have nothing to say.Because he didn't say anything at all, the old and the young were blocked by Zhu Yunying, and the most important thing was that some of the old and the young's views were correct.

Old Zhu laughed and said, "If you want to talk about us, we don't know about our descendants in the future. But what we see now are all descendants with integrity. We Da Ming shouldn't make peace with those barbarians. What Tanyuan The alliance, we see it as paying tribute and asking for peace."

Little Zhu nodded again and again, and said, "It's better for my father. Our great-grandfather came to pay tribute from a small foreign country in the early years, and he was rewarded a hundred times in return. We will go to the kingdom tomorrow, and we can only accept their offerings, so what's the use of rewards. "

Zhu Yunying glanced at the choked old Zhu, and said to Xiao Zhu, "You also know that we are a kingdom of heaven, and those small countries pay tribute, let's not talk about a hundred times the gift in return, there should be courtesy, just a little bit of reward. We don't need a hundredfold gift to show the prosperity of Ming Dynasty."

Little Zhu thought for a while, and then said, "Well, when we become emperor in the future, we won't give them too many rewards. Whatever they offer us, let's give back some."

"Look, this is your son!" Old Zhu laughed, and said to Zhu Yunying, "It doesn't matter how big or small, it's just like you when you were young. We are still in the prime of life, and you always say that when you become emperor How, now you know how we felt back then!"

Zhu Yunying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said to Lao Zhu, "It's not that we want to say that, it's our grandmother who always told us that Daming's country is ours, that we want us to inherit the family business, and we want us to do whatever we want. At first we , I didn’t want to be emperor.”

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying disdainfully, he knew exactly what Zhu Yunying was thinking.

Old Zhu remembered something, and said to Zhu Yunying, "What we mean is that it is time to tell Yin'er about history these days. Yin'er is kind-hearted and has his own opinions, but we think it is wise to read history, and he should know these things thing."

"We also have the same thoughts. Our prince should know the various ways of the people and the change of dynasties." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "In a few days, we will let people from the Imperial Academy come over to give Yin'er a lecture on history. It's just that we If you don’t like those rotten scholars, Grandpa Huang should follow suit.”

Old Zhu understands Zhu Yunying's thoughts, he actually doesn't like some Confucian children very much, especially some Confucian children are always thinking about 'ruling the world with scholars and bureaucrats', which violates Lao Zhu's taboo.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with letting those civil servants teach and lecture on history to Xiao Zhu. This is also an important part of Xiao Zhu's education, and Zhu Yunying will not object to these.

It's just obvious that Zhu Yunying also needs to be more careful. Some scholars should not be allowed to carry private goods, and some scholars should not be allowed to start with the crown prince and train the emperor of Ming Dynasty into a "Confucian emperor". That is obviously not in line with Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu some thoughts.

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, and he just went to watch. If those servants dared to carry private goods, he would definitely dare to kill people.Whoever dared to spoil his great-grandson, Lao Zhu dared to send some people and their families to meet Confucius.

Looking at the distressed little Zhu, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Your great-grandfather brought you, your sister will definitely not be able to attend lectures. We want to see how lazy you are then!"

Xiao Zhu immediately smiled. It seemed that this kid also knew that what he had done would be shameless, and now he knew how to be shy.As for being afraid, he definitely wouldn't be. If he knew he was afraid, he wouldn't think about asking Zhu Ruyi to help him with his homework.

"Father, we know what's in our hearts." Little Zhu said confidently, "Don't talk about Ruyi, it's Wen Qiang and Wen Geng. Our elder brothers like them and take them to play. It's just that they want to see We will definitely not give the memorial. We will not teach anyone what our great-grandfather and father taught us."

As if to prove his own position, Xiao Zhu said, "The 24th prince teased us last time, saying that his family wanted to go to the Five Army Commander's Mansion. The family hair went outside."

Zhu Yunying knew about this matter, his 24th uncle Zhu Dong, and his mother and concubine was Concubine Liu Hui.Probably because of his youth, and because he felt that the affairs of the governor of the five-army governor's mansion were not particularly sensitive, he wanted to ask Xiao Zhu to help clear up the relationship.

The result is self-evident, Xiaoxiao Zhu is very unhappy, and he doesn't care about his seniority, because he is the crown prince and heir apparent of Daming.

It's one thing for Zhu Dong to be disheartened. Concubine Liu Hui's natal nephew also went from a fairly promising general in the third rank Zhaoyong of the Beijing camp to a thousand households in the guard. This time, he paid a heavy price for his detour.

Xu Miaoqing was a little uneasy. She knew that although she was a queen, the Ming Dynasty was very wary of the harem meddling in politics.It was impossible to be like Empress Ma back then. Even Xu Miaoqing must have been envious of Empress Ma's influence on the court after hearing about it.

But no matter how envious she is, it doesn't mean that Xu Miaoqing has any unrealistic fantasies.There will only be one Empress Ma in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Empress Ma was said to have a great influence on the court, but on the surface she still respected Emperor Hongwu very much.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, looked around, and said, "Our little great-grandson, is taking a rest again?"

"Take a break, let's come ten times, and nine times he is sleeping." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "There is one more time, we just played for a while, and then he fell asleep again."

Lao Zhu smiled and didn't care, and said, "Let's pass on the meal, and we will take Yin'er to the palace after the meal is finished. I have seen your uncle these days, and your aunts will return to the palace." I haven't seen it. Empress, remember to look at the right family these days, the old 23s should also discuss marriage."

Xu Miaoqing got up quickly and said to Lao Zhu, "My grandson takes the order."

"There is also our aunt, who needs to find Mr. Ruyi." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We have also talked with the imperial concubine before, and you can go to the aunt's side to ask when the time comes. Our aunt should also With Ruyi Langjun and Qin Se in harmony, don't care about family status, as long as Huanggu likes it."

Xiao Zhu immediately became arrogant, this child's vision is unusually high, "That is, if you care about family status, who else can compare with our Tianjia! Mother, or you don't want to find us a wife , when the time comes, we will find the one that is pleasing to our eyes."

For this bastard who wants to play tricks, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu will not be used to it.Xiaoxiaozhu's marriage is not an ordinary marriage, and the choice of Xiaoxiaozhu's crown princess naturally needs to be considered extremely carefully.

Little Zhu, who was hit by a little, didn't care, mainly because after all these years, this kid has a thick skin, and he belongs to the type who has been defeated and fought repeatedly. Little Zhu, who has a big heart, is not so easily frustrated. The kid even acts heartless at times.

The whole family finished their meals happily, so naturally they were busy with what they should be doing, so just keep busy, the Tian family can't be completely free.

Family, state affairs, and world affairs, we must really care about everything.Moreover, these matters are all related to Jiangshan Sheji to a certain extent, which means that they cannot be treated carelessly.

Lao Zhu can relax a bit now, he doesn't seem to need to worry too much about government affairs.But for Xiao Zhu, he has no way to be idle, who made him the emperor in power, and governing the country is his most important job.

After Lao Zhu left, Zhu Yunying said to Xu Miaoqing, "Looking at the meaning of the emperor's grandfather, the marriage of the unmarried emperor's uncle and emperor's aunt should be taken care of by the two of us. We have to be busy with government affairs these days, please pay more attention to it." some."

Xu Miaoqing naturally knew it well, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubine knows it well."

Anyway, she is also the empress of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is to deal with the marriage of the emperor's uncle and emperor's aunt, it is not a problem at all.This matter will not trouble Xu Miaoqing, she actually enjoys such power, which is also a reflection of her status.

It can only be said that it is not a family that does not enter a house, this is obvious.This big family is extremely eager and passionate about power.

Zhu Yunying didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because the things Xu Miaoqing did were all the empress's own work, and there was no harem to interfere in politics.
