Chapter 294 The Restless Prince Zhou’s Mansion

Zhu Xiongying naturally needs to let go and do something. He knows that he can't stop. Some things can only be done by him, some things don't need to be rushed, and some things can't be delayed any longer.

For Zhu Xiongying, the inspection of Guanzhong has basically come to an end. The main thing is that many things involving leading officials do not require him to do it himself. This is actually well understood by many people.

It is most important to carefully survey the maps of Luoyang and Xi'an, including some surrounding passes and atlases of rivers. These are actually the most important tasks of Zhu Xiongying's inspection of Guanzhong.

It was not too short this time. We set out in early summer, and saw the autumn wind turning bleak, so Zhu Xiongying returned.

In comparison, it was a huge event, with hundreds of officials accompanying it, and some officials actually stayed behind when we returned.

The follow-up work will continue. It is not that easy for them to go back directly. Fortunately, there is no big problem. Naturally, there are some important ministers who came here this time. Most of these people do not need to stay and can still respond to Tianfu.

.

Therefore, grassroots officials are the most difficult. They need to do a lot of things well. Not only do they have to work hard, but they also need to do some things well as much as possible. This is not an easy task.

Whether you like it or not, this is the ecology of officialdom, and this is what you must experience after choosing an official career.

Zhu Xiongying was in a good mood, and he felt like he was returning home. He originally thought that he would not be in a hurry to go home after going out, but now he obviously does not think so.

It's not just because He Yuyao is pregnant. In fact, after leaving home, Zhu Xiongying also thinks about his grandparents, parents, and younger brothers and sisters. These are the people he cares about.

Compared with the time in Guanzhong, the return trip is much easier now, mainly because the weather is better now.

The absence of scorching heat naturally means that everyone can relax a lot, and the journey will naturally be faster.

He went straight to Yingtian Mansion. When passing by Kaifeng, Zhu Xiongying dismissed all the accompanying officials and took only a small number of guards to go straight to Kaifeng. There was also the Zhou Palace over there.

Although Uncle Wu is still farming in his hometown for labor reform, there is still Zhu Youdou, the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty, who is in charge of the family. It seems that he met an unreliable father, and now Zhu Youdou, who is only twelve years old, is about to become the head of the family.

, I’ve been in charge for almost a year.

Zhu Youdun, his younger brothers Zhu Youyi and Zhu Youxuan, stood respectfully outside the Zhou Palace. When they saw Zhu Xiongying, they immediately knelt down and said, "My brother, I bow to my eldest brother, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, Your Highness Qianqiu."

After receiving the gift, Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Let's all get back together. I'll go see my fifth aunt first."

As Zhu Xiongying, when he arrived at his uncle's house, he felt like he was at his own house, and he felt a little bit like he was overshadowing the guests. But no one thought there was any problem, and they took it for granted that Zhu Xiongying was qualified to make the decision.

In the main hall, Zhu Youdou once again brought his two younger brothers and four younger sisters to kowtow to Zhu Xiongying. Speaking of which, Zhu Xiongying had met Zhu Youdou and Zhu Youyi, who were born in Yingtian Mansion.

Especially Zhu Youyi, the child followed him to Kaifeng Mansion not long after he was born, and Zhu Xiongying was relatively unfamiliar with him.

Looking at the eleven-year-old Zhu Youyi, Zhu Xiongying asked directly, "Are you a little unconvinced when you heard that there is a master of stew?"

The reason why I say this is because Zhu Xiongying has some channels, and the Zhou Palace has some who are not convinced.

Zhu Youdun is the eldest son of the Zhou Dynasty. He is the eldest son, and he is naturally the natural heir in law. As the second son, Zhu Youyi is a little unconvinced. He is only one year younger than Brother Wang, and he is also the legitimate son.<

/p>

Furthermore, Brother Wang grew up in Yingtian Mansion, while Zhu Youhui grew up in Kaifeng with his father, the King, and his mother and concubine. In front of his father, the King, and his mother, he was even more obedient and favored. As for Brother Wang, then

But there is no real brotherhood. Sometimes, Zhu Youyi even felt that it was Brother Wang who blocked his way, preventing him from becoming the crown prince and inheriting the title of King of Zhou.

There is a huge difference between a county king and a prince!

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Zhu Youyi was a little panicked, "Brother, I don't dare to return!"

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Youyi and said calmly, "Just remember, the emperor's grandfather faced hardships when he started his business, and he is familiar with many people's experiences. There are records in the ancestral precepts that the prince's eldest son was ten years old.

, the imperial court awarded a gold book and gold treasure, and established him as the prince's son. If he takes away his legitimate son from a concubine, he will be demoted to a commoner at the least, or he will be exiled to a distant place. Although you are the legitimate son, you are only the second legitimate son, do you understand?
p>

However, Zhu Xiongying is so ruthless, saying this in front of this eleven-year-old child, but there are some things that must be cautious. For the sake of the dragon throne, father and son are suspicious of each other, and there are many cases of brotherhood. For the same reason, for the prince, there are examples of brothers turning against each other.

They are everywhere.

In history, in order to seize the inheritance rights of King Zhou, Zhu Youyi accused his father of treason, so that Zhu Yunwen deposed the king.

When Zhu Zhanji came to the throne, he falsely accused his brother Zhu Youdun several times. In the end, he was demoted and his title was removed from the country, so as to avoid the fate of a commoner. The title of King Zhou fell to Zhu Youjuan, the fourth son of a concubine.

On my body, I haven’t been born yet.

Looking at the frightened Zhu Youdou, Zhu Xiongying said calmly, "Youdou grew up in Yingtian Mansion since he was a child. I know his nature and talents. You should imitate your brother in order to make progress. I am the emperor's grandson, so

Brother Ru, I don’t want to deal with you when the time comes, lest Uncle Wu get embarrassed and look bad!”

Zhu Youyi was a little frightened and almost cried. He was really not convinced by his elder brother and wanted to become the crown prince of Zhou and inherit the throne.

Some things just need to be nipped in the bud, otherwise it may be a human tragedy. After all, this is in the emperor's family, the clan, and the brotherhood is really not as good as the glory and wealth.

Even though the second generation of the old Zhu family looks like brothers and sisters, Zhu Xiongying also knows very well that his uncles may not all be so kind in private. More often than not, they are just like each other.

The fear and awe of their prince and eldest brother.

In fact, it's the same with Zhu Xiongying. Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi don't like each other. Zhu Yunxi looks down on Zhu Yunxi and thinks he is a bastard. As for Zhu Yunwen, he feels that he is no worse than Zhu Yunxi, but it is the bastard that limits his development.

.

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. This is a fact and many people know this.

After teaching Zhu Youyi, Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Youdou and said, "You are the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty. The court has already awarded you a gold book and a gold treasure to make you the crown prince. If you are disrespectful and disobedient, you should behave like a crown prince."

.If you can’t keep your own palace in order, how can you share the worries of the imperial court and the imperial grandfather?!”

Zhu Youdun immediately knelt down and said, "I will obey the instructions of the eldest brother Taisun Huang."

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Youdou and said, "I think you all know that I have always been the closest to my fifth uncle. My fifth uncle is still in Fengyang's hometown. You must abide by the etiquette and law, behave in a safe manner, and do not

This is a time to cause trouble. If you want to go to Yunnan, I won’t stop you, but don’t blame me for not thinking about my fifth uncle’s friendship!”

Zhu Xiongying's words do have some effect. The reason is naturally that Zhu Xiongying, the eldest brother of the emperor, is also the emperor's grandson and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows that he has long held real power.

People like Zhu Youdou have heard about the energy and specialness of their cousin, and it is nothing to mention the precocious wisdom at a young age. What is enviable is that he was raised by the imperial grandmother since he was a child, and the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother loved him so much.

.Hundreds of thousands of troops are given at will, and many military officers and officials are under the sect of Taisun Mansion...

These are things that other emperors and grandchildren would not dare to expect. They would never dream of receiving such treatment.

What my brothers are currently thinking about is the status of prince and county king. As for this cousin, everyone knows that the supreme position will be his sooner or later. No one dares to take it away, and no one dares to care about it.

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying nodded towards Zhang Changping, who immediately asked a group of eunuchs and maids to come over with trays.

Looking at Zhu Youdou, Zhu Xiongying took out a seal and said, "I won countless treasures during the Northern Expedition in my early years, and I will give you a silver seal from Tianbaonu, the pseudo-prince of Meng Yuan Dynasty. Remember to keep your elders in order and help the court. You are the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty.

From now on, I will protect the imperial court and share your worries."

Zhu Youdou hesitated for a while, mainly because the reward from the emperor was too heavy.

This square seal is the seal of Prince Meng Yuan. Don’t say that he is just a prince with such a thing. Even his father is hot to hold it in his hand. What does this make other people think?

Zhu Xiongying glared and cursed angrily, "How can you be so timid with the blood of the Tian family! The pseudo-prince Meng Yuan is just a bereaved dog. This is the private seal party, barely worthy of my brother, you can play with it!"

”

After the Ming Dynasty won, many things became easier to say. Especially Zhu Xiongying's army won a complete victory in the Northern Expedition, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him belittling the small court of Meng and Yuan Dynasty. He was indeed a general who defeated the army, and the country was destroyed and the king was destroyed.

.

The reward given to Zhu Youdou can naturally be a bit special. This cousin grew up in Yingtian Mansion and was relatively familiar with Zhu Xiongying. The most important thing is that Zhu Youdou's status is even more special. He is the Crown Prince of Zhou.

Zhu Xiongying’s identity deserves special treatment.

As for Zhu Youxuan and Zhu Youxuan, the rewards are relatively common. They include the four treasures of the study plus bows and arrows. I hope they will be allowed to use both literature and martial arts.

The rewards given to the sisters are actually very simple, that is, some jewelry, simple and simple.

After rewarding his younger brothers and sisters, Zhu Xiongying looked at Feng next to him, "Fifth Aunt, I heard that Fifth Aunt went to her hometown before, why didn't she say that she would stay there for a while longer?"

Some time ago, Mrs. Feng went to Fengyang, mainly to celebrate Zhu Xi's birthday, but it only stayed for a few days.

Feng said with some embarrassment, "The prince should have been punished for leaving the fiefdom without permission. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grand Sun came to protect him, and he was spared the pain of being banished to Yunnan. If it hadn't been for His Highness's birthday, I should not have gone there.

.Although the father, the emperor, and the queen have given permission, I should also know my duty."

It must be said that Zhu Rui farmed in his hometown, which also frightened some members of the clan. No one expected that Emperor Hongwu would be so angry that he would almost banish His Royal Highness the King of Zhou who had been a playboy since childhood but was very favored and moved to Yunnan in anger.

.

This is an obvious signal, and it also makes other clan kings dare not move.

Everyone in the Zhou Palace, including everyone in the palace, is now becoming more cautious, not daring to have anything happen at this time. Otherwise, Manfu will really go to Yunnan from Kaifeng, which is not a good thing.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "The fifth aunt is joking. My father and the fifth uncle are brothers. I have liked to fool around with the fifth uncle since I was a child. This trip to Guanzhong, the second uncle and the third uncle are also very worried.

Fifth Uncle. I think it has only been a year or two, and my grandfather will definitely allow Fifth Uncle to come back. But Fifth Aunt, there should be some rules in the house."

A large part of the reason why Zhu Youyi was concerned about the throne of King Zhou was because of Feng's favor.

After all, Zhu Youdun grew up in Yingtian Mansion, and Zhu Youyi was raised in front of him. Feng must still prefer her younger son more.

Seeing that Feng was a little embarrassed, Zhu Xiongying changed the subject, "Fifth Aunt, although my grandfather was unhappy because of the frequent contacts between the fifth uncle and the Duke of Song. But you should also understand that the princes of the imperial court and the Duke of Song are very close, so this is probably the case.

It's a bit taboo. It's just that the fifth aunt and my eldest aunt don't need to avoid suspicion too much. I heard that you haven't been in contact with each other for several years. What's this?"

Princess Feng of Zhou was the youngest daughter of Song Guogong Feng Sheng. And Feng Sheng's eldest daughter was the first wife of Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, who was also Zhu Xiongying's eldest aunt.

Feng was also a little embarrassed at this time, so she could only say, "This is all due to my concubine's negligence. I am a stupid person, and my actions are frivolous, and I really shouldn't have made my father angry."

Feng was taking the blame for Zhu Tie. After all, Zhu Tie himself had a very obvious dandy temperament. In fact, the same was true for Feng Sheng. The two daughters he raised were somewhat arrogant, and he was not familiar with politics.

I am sensitive, so I cause a lot of trouble.

He had a personality conflict with his eldest son-in-law Chang Mao. Although they were not on the same page, they hardly interacted with each other. As for his younger son-in-law, Feng Sheng had never felt at all that the Duke should keep a distance from the vassal king, especially his own son-in-law.<

/p>

If it hadn't been idle for several years and was revived after being taken by Zhu Xiongying to the Northern Expedition, it might have been idle for a long time.

As for the matter of having great achievements, you don’t have to worry about it. Xu Da and Li Wenzhong are still there. It’s not Feng Sheng’s turn to worry about having great achievements and being unable to seal him. He has not reached that level yet.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying in front of her, Ms. Feng was actually quite happy. That was because the prince and the emperor's grandson were close, so he protected the Zhou Palace in every possible way. Furthermore, the emperor's grandson had a good relationship with her brother-in-law, so she was willing to give her father

Some decency.

This eldest nephew has long been able to influence the rise and fall of the Zhou Palace without even realizing it. The dignified Song Guogong has also been arbitrarily ordered by the emperor's grandson.
