Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 725
The autumn wind is bleak, and now Yingtian Mansion has more scenes of late autumn.In the Qianqing Palace, it looks even more so.

Only this time, the crown prince Zhu Wenyin did not appear in Qianqing Palace, nor did Zhou Wang Zhu Wei.They all have other important tasks, so now it can only be Lao Zhu's No.13 descendant, Wang Zhu Gui, who is going to face the saint alone.

Zhu Gui's pressure is not small. His mother and concubine are Concubine Guo Hui, the daughter of Chuyang King Guo Zixing, and she is still favored.His elder brother Zhu Chun is now founding the country in Koryo. This Shu scholar was already famous, and now he has made some achievements.Of course, Zhu Gui also has a younger brother, Zhu Wei, the king of Gu, who did not enter the palace this time.

For Zhu Gui, he felt that he was really unlucky, and he had to face two generations of emperors alone.For the father, Zhu Gui is afraid from the bottom of his heart.As for the elder nephew, he was speechless. Although he was only four months older than his nephew, he was no match for that elder nephew since he was a child. The prince could not compare to the eldest grandson of the emperor!

Now that the nephew is the emperor, that also means that there is a huge gap in the identities of the two people, they are completely monarchs and ministers.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Gui, and said admonishingly, "You have been short-tempered since childhood, just like your uncle."

Zhu Gui knelt down immediately, this crime was not a small one.Because Zhu Gui's uncles were Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue who conspired to murder Lao Zhu.Although his mother and concubine are still favored, who knows whether the father will be angry with others because of this.

Zhu Yunying complained and went to help Zhu Gui, "Grandpa Huang, why are you talking about this? Uncle Thirteen is always cautious, but what you say is just to make him think too much! Uncle Thirteen, don't listen to Grandpa Huang, his age When I grow up, I like to chatter!"

Zhu Gui wanted to cry even more now, if he got up, his father would definitely not be happy.But if he can't get up, his nephew, the emperor, will come to help him personally. Isn't this a disobedience to the imperial edict?
When Zhu Gui was in a dilemma, Lao Zhu said again, "Is that what we said wrong?"

Zhu Yunying picked up Zhu Gui and said at the same time, "Grandfather, we heard from my grandmother that Chuyang Wang Xuxian only had one daughter, and Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue are not the brothers of Concubine Xianhui."

Lao Zhu became anxious, and said with a glare, "According to what you say, then your thirteenth uncle and your father are not brothers? You can ask him again, even if he is not very close to Guo Tian, ​​​​his old days Uncle Zhang Tianyou, you can't get away with it, right? It's that thief who hurts people the most, and we suffered a lot in the early years, and it's he who instigated us!"

"Uncle Thirteen, don't think about it too much. Grandpa Huang likes to reminisce about the past and turn over old accounts when he is old." Zhu Yunying said to Zhu Gui with a smile, "But Uncle Thirteen, what Grandpa Huang said is also reasonable. A few days ago we were It's embarrassing, someone said in the booklet that Uncle Thirteen is whipping passers-by outside at will, which is not good."

Zhu Gui could only kneel down again, and quickly said, "I am guilty."

"It's not that serious." Pulling Zhu Gui up, Zhu Yunying said, "It's just that Uncle Thirteen's temperament is really a little impatient."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, and said, "He and your nineteenth uncle have the same mother after all. We liked him so much in the early years, but it's not a tyrannical temperament. If you want us to say, this is the core of his Guo family. It's not good."

"What about Eleventh Uncle?" Zhu Yunying disagreed with Old Zhu's lineage theory, "Eleventh Uncle is a talented scholar in Shu, and he is also a virtuous man. Now the fiefdom is well-organized in Koryo. Few people are more powerful than our Eleventh Uncle. In the final analysis, it is our Zhu family, why is the Guo family not the Guo family!"

Lao Zhu slammed his teacup on the table and said, "Okay, I remember what you said! When we see your grandmother, let's talk to her! You know how to be good, and when you were a child, you said you still had horses on you. The flesh and blood of the family, now only recognize our Zhu family?!"

This is not a good thing. I didn't expect some old accounts from my childhood to be revealed now. What should I do!

Seeing Zhu Yunying's speechless look, Lao Zhu immediately laughed, "You are also an idiot! We and your grandmother were fooled by you, and your mouth is just talking nonsense!"

"Thirteenth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle is in Korea now, remember to write more family letters with him." Zhu Yunying could only change the topic, and said, "Now that Eleventh Uncle is not in Yingtian Mansion, you should also take care of Nineteenth Uncle's place. Uncle Nineteen is making a fuss."

Zhu Gui can only accept the decree, but whether he cares about it in his heart is another matter.He can't take care of himself, how can he take care of his younger brother.

For many things, it's better to take care of yourself first, and for other things, even brothers and sisters need to pay attention to propriety.It may also be said that not everyone who is an older brother wants to take good care of his younger siblings.

The family has been separated a long time ago, and the younger brothers have already married and started a career. It is not easy for the elder brother to say much.

At least this is the case for Zhu Gui, he thinks it is enough to take care of himself.My elder brother is now the vassal king in Koryo, and he is very proud at this time, so he can't care about his younger brothers in Daming.As for Zhu Gui, he has a somewhat irritable personality, but he doesn't have too many evil deeds. He can be regarded as a well-regulated prince of the Ming Dynasty.

As for his younger brother, he seems to be more intelligent, but he has too many eyes, and he can pretend.To be honest, Zhu Gui didn't like his younger brother very much, even if it was his own younger brother.

Since this is the case, just do your part well, and you don't need to care about other things at all.Anyway, the clan of the Ming Dynasty now has nothing else to do, and there is no need to consider things like the throne and government affairs. Those have nothing to do with them, just live their lives well.

In Qianqing Palace, although Zhu Gui was educated by two generations of emperors, overall the atmosphere was not bad.

And ten miles outside the city of Yingtianfu, Zhu Wenyin, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, stood at the head of the team in a crown suit with his hands behind his back.Following behind him were his grandfather Zhu Wei, uncle Zhu Yunxie, younger brother Zhu Wenqi, and other clan members.

Behind these aristocrats, there are nobles, civil and military officials, all wearing solemn court clothes.Such occasions naturally require more formal attire.

Of course, since these people at the top of the power of the Ming Dynasty appeared, there must also be some brightly armored guards and generals of the Han Dynasty, and those burly and strong Jingwei soldiers were also guarding them.

Zhu Yunxi chuckled, and said, "Brother Huang really knows how to scare chickens and monkeys. Our master Wang of the Ming Dynasty just destroyed Goryeo, so let those envoys come over now. That's fine, let's see how prisoners are offered."

Zhu Yi glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and said calmly, "Little Goryeo is nothing to worry about, but it's a pity that he failed to catch Li and his son. It is His Majesty's kindness, which made the Li and his son a bit decent."

For Li Chenggui and his son, Zhu Huan really looked down on them.If you want to say that the father and son are really rebellious officials and traitors, not to mention usurping the country, but also fighting each other, father and son fighting, killing for a throne is called a lively scene.

So now it is said that Goryeo was destroyed, but it is actually nothing.The death of the father and son was nothing more than a normal thing in Zhu Xi and Zhu Yunxi's eyes.I don't know when it started. Everyone thinks that the Ming Dynasty's army is invincible. After all these years, everyone has long been accustomed to the frequent success stories of the Ming Dynasty.

This is not something that has only appeared in recent years. Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been victories and continuous victories.

Suddenly two fast horses appeared in the distance, which was the messenger.

Little Zhu turned back, looked at Zhu Wei and asked, "King Zhou, how are the preparations going?"

Zhu Huan immediately returned from work, "Return to Your Highness, all the divisions are fully prepared."

Little Zhu nodded in satisfaction, and tidied up his crown uniform, "Etiquette is absolutely indispensable for a great victory. The army is approaching, play music immediately!"

This is inevitable, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in other dynasties.Different occasions require different music to be played. Although it is not completely in accordance with the ritual and music system, most of the time everyone is tacitly aware of it.

The smoke and dust that appeared in the distance was getting bigger and bigger, and Xiao Zhu was also ready, standing at the forefront of the team with a calm face.

Suddenly, the sound of drums and the sound of horns sounded. It must be time to play music.

Fu Youde, a well-armored man with a burly figure, rode a horse and led a few generals galloping quickly, and after getting off the saddle, he gave a loud voice.

"The last general, Fu Youde, can destroy his ministers and return triumphantly."

Little Zhu looked at Fu Youde with a solemn expression, "Good! Great Ming wins!"

"Da Ming Wan Sheng"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

After the resounding "Wan Sheng", Xiao Zhu slowly raised his right hand and knelt in front of Xiao Zhu, holding the imperial decree high.

Little Zhu has taken the imperial decree, needless to say at this time.Except for little Zhu who was standing, everyone else knelt down.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Fu Youde, Duke of Yingguo, rode his iron cavalry for thousands of miles, condemning Goryeo. He conquered several cities, surrendered the king to destroy the country, and beheaded the generals to hold the flag. Hulu ran away for a long time, and the barbarians were devastated. It was a great achievement. Sheng Lie is enough to win the policy. The holy ancestor inspired the prosperity of thousands of years, so he gave birth to this famous official, who destroyed the trap and cleared it up, and helped him become one."

Fu Youde's heart was full of emotion, this was His Majesty's greatest recognition of his achievements, and this imperial decree was simply continuous praise.

After reading the imperial decree, little Zhu said, "Duke Ying, accept the decree."

Fu Youde kowtowed heavily, and received the imperial edict with great excitement, "My minister, Fu Youde, accept the imperial edict!"

After Fu Youde received the decree, Shuangquan knelt down again and handed over an imperial decree.And this imperial decree is to praise the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and arrange them well. Naturally, after returning to Beijing, they will be rewarded for their merits and given banquets. These are also one of the fixed routines of the army after the triumphant return.

In fact, these things don't need to worry too much. The court has already had enough systems and experience in this regard.The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households all know what to do, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies knows how to pay for their merits.

After arranging these soldiers, Xiao Xiaozhu said to Fu Youde, "This time the army was defeated by the ministers, I am very happy. It's a pity that I am young and can't personally experience the battlefield. I don't have the chance to witness Ying Guogong's demeanor."

Although his heart was agitated, Fu Youde still said immediately, "Your Majesty is brave and wise, and such disobedient ministers can be destroyed with a flick of a finger. I am willing to be your majesty's forerunner."

"These words, Ying Guogong should leave it to the father!" Little Zhu gently tugged on Fu Youde's wrist, and said with a smile, "But Ying Guogong still needs to restrain himself, everyone knows that the father is a martial artist." It's just that I haven't been able to fulfill my wish in these years. At the banquet, don't talk too much about beheading generals and capturing the flag, or my father will definitely not like it."

Fu Youde didn't think it was the Crown Prince who was warning him, nor did he think it was His Majesty's suspicion of him.It's because His Majesty and the Crown Prince like and trust him so much, that's why he made such a point.

Who doesn't know that today's son was good at martial arts when he was young. It is said that he once studied martial arts with Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, Li Wenzhong, King of Qiyang, and Feng Sheng, Duke of Song.But as for the effect, the top five founding generals of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as careful guidance, but they just couldn't learn it today.

So in the early years, the Supreme Emperor said that if today's son was in the army, he would be a general at most.

Being dragged by little Zhu, Fu Youde naturally followed.It's just that he suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, minister."

Little Zhu laughed loudly and said, "Duke Ying doesn't need to be too polite. Duke Ying has worked hard and made great achievements. I have many doubts about various things in Goryeo. I hope Duke Ying will give me some advice."

Saying this, little Zhu dragged Fu Youde onto the Prince's frame.In fact, with Fu Youde's strength, if he didn't want to, little Zhu couldn't help him at all.But most of the time, it's just a superficial article. Does Fu Youde really dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do his best to help him up?

In fact, Xu Huizu has always been by his side. He is actually the deputy commander. During the process of the army's attack on Goryeo, he also made a lot of contributions.But at this time, Xu Huizu was almost ignored by many people.

But Xu Huizu was not unhappy. Seeing the behavior of the crown prince, Xu Huizu didn't know how happy he was.In a few years, the crown prince will surely become a wise king, and the Xu family, the king of Zhongshan, will surely retire with the country!

Little Zhu was very excited, and said to Fu Youde, "Before Zhongshan Gong returned to the court, my palace also asked many questions about the war, but after all, Zhongshan Gong was only leading a partial division. I have also read some military books and war strategies in recent days, and I also have some questions. Comprehension. It’s just that this palace failed to lead the army, and I don’t know if many things are feasible.”

After saying this, little Zhu looked at Xu Huizu and said, "Mr. Zhongshan is also waiting for the car, and you two are the Zijin Liang of the imperial court. I still have to study hard today. If I can learn from the two dukes, Our Daming now has an extra titan!"

By the way, the crown prince is also good at martial arts. Emperor Hongwu praised the crown prince for his talent.

Of course, this talent must have water, that is, it is slightly stronger than his father who has no talent.

The Ming Dynasty does not need a crown prince who is tolerant of Wen and Wu, what the Ming Dynasty needs is a prince who can manage the country and the country well.But everyone doesn't mind coaxing the prince, who made the prince noble, and he is very excited now!
