Chapter 112 Better Trend

Kong Ne, the Duke of Yansheng, does not feel good now, because his father is Kong Xixue, who can be regarded as the first Duke of Yansheng in the Ming Dynasty. But this Kong Xixue was also the Duke of Yansheng in the Yuan Dynasty. He is Kong Zhu

One lineage...

In fact, in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, two sects existed side by side. Moreover, Kong Sicheng, the son of Kong Zhi, the Duke of Yansheng, was a common branch. Then he started investigating again and found out the eldest son.

Kong Ne is undoubtedly quite embarrassed now, mainly because some of the actions of its ancestors are now embarrassing to future generations. Some of the things the so-called descendants of Kong Sage did were indeed not very honorable.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the inheritance of Yan Shenggong was interrupted for a time, and the current Ming Dynasty is also qualified to talk about these things. The status of scholars once fell into the abyss during the Yuan Dynasty. In today's Ming Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats are sometimes embarrassed.

The emperor was rejecting Mencius before, and the emperor's grandson now seems to dislike the Yanshengong line. This is no small matter.

Zhu Xiongying didn't care about those things or the comments. Zhu Xiongying thought it would be good to listen to the advice of people like Huang Zicheng. If he believed such rotten Confucianism, Zhu Xiongying felt that he was a fool.

In the final analysis, he just believed in some pedantic scholars, and Zhu Xiongying might be ignored by those people. Those scholars' ideas of governing the country really did not meet some of Zhu Xiongying's needs and some of his ideas.

After leading most of Peiping's civil and military elites ten miles out of the city, Zhu Xiongying greeted the mighty army.

Naturally, the concubine Xu Miaoqing would not show up easily, but these civil and military officials did not dare to be careless. They all knelt down and saluted. This is also a matter of course. The harem is not allowed to interfere in political matters. It is too early to talk about these things now.

But where the reputation is, Xu Miaoqing is the 'king' of these civil and military officials.

Chang Lan stepped out of the carriage and saluted, "My wife pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson!"

Zhu Xiongying stood to receive the gift, then bowed down and said, "My grandson has met his grandmother."

This can also be regarded as some of Lao Zhu's requirements, the monarch and his ministers come first. There is no problem whether it is Zhu Xiongying or Chang Lan who does this. This can also be regarded as an attitude for the people of the world, especially these civil and military officials nowadays.

Everyone is watching.

Holding Chang Lan's hand affectionately, Zhu Xiongying said, "Grandma, go to my grandson's car frame first. My grandson will also talk to grandma about the achievements of his uncles. This time in Korea and Japan, the uncles have made great achievements.

, Don’t lose your grandma’s reputation!”

Chang Lan was very excited and very happy, "Your Highness, those disciples who have been a disciple of Gaoliang are where they are today, all thanks to His Highness's cultivation!"

It may be a bit exaggerated to say this, but it is basically true. Because Zhu Xiongying's three uncles are simply average, without too many amazing talents. If Zhu Xiongying hadn't worked hard,

With help, they really have no chance to make any military achievements, which is very unrealistic.

Chang Lan knew very well that her three sons were all gilded, except for the eldest son who inherited the title of Duke due to his father's influence. The second and third sons basically had no possibility of having any title, and at most they had an official status.

, maybe they will become ordinary people in one or two generations.

But it's different now. Her second and third sons will get titles if nothing else happens. Basically, they are hereditary and irreplaceable titles. Even if they are not Dukes, the title of an earl is no problem.

After the mighty army returned to Peiping, Zhu Xiongying naturally did not need to consider such arrangements. The family members of these civil and military families naturally had such arrangements, and they would definitely not be without a place to live.

He sent his grandmother to the Kaiping Prince's Mansion, sent his two aunts to their princess's mansion, and also sent his worried little sister to the Princess's Mansion. Zhu Xiongying was still quite busy, so naturally he had to return to Fuzhou.

Long Palace, which can now be regarded as Taisun's Mansion, is now basically Zhu Xiongying's residence and office.

A breakup is better than a wedding. Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaoqing seem to be relatively loving. There is nothing wrong with getting married first and then falling in love.

Zhu Xiongying was a little sleepy, but many people didn't find it strange. Especially those around Wang Chengen who had been following the emperor's grandson. They knew some of the emperor's grandson's habits and some of his characteristics.

Speaking of laziness, Zhu Xiongying is definitely not lazy. Zhu Xiongying is relatively diligent. When encountering some big events, Zhu Xiongying also gets up very early. There is no pressure at all to get up at the same time. But if possible, Zhu Xiongying

I still like to sleep until about three o'clock in the morning, but I don't get up as early as Lao Zhu.

Looking at Xu Miaoqing whose eyelids were moving slightly, Zhu Xiongying turned over and said, "Since you're awake, talk to me and don't pretend to be asleep."

Xu Miaoqing was a little embarrassed, but she still opened her eyes and asked, "What do you want to talk about, Your Highness?"

"It's mainly about matters here in Peiping. You should also take care of the affairs in this palace. If you have nothing else to do, go to the Princess Mansion and the Princess Mansion as often as possible. Don't forget about grandma's house as well." Zhu Xiongying spoke and said to Xu Miaoqing, "

There are a lot of people staring at you in Yingtianfu, but you don’t need to be restrained here, it’s okay to go out and walk around.”

If it were in Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Xiongying would certainly not take the initiative to ask Xu Miaoqing to leave the palace, because he knew that would be quite unrealistic and basically impossible, so naturally he would not speak to Xu Miaoqing.

But when he arrived at Yingtian Mansion and his own territory, Zhu Xiongying naturally no longer needed to be polite. He still preferred Xu Miaoqing to go out and walk around.

This does not mean that Zhu Xiongying is generous or wants to be lazy, it simply means that he does not want Xu Miaoqing to be a caged bird, a canary. Furthermore, some of the tasks given to Xu Miaoqing now can be regarded as some of the concubine's own duties. It is her

responsibilities and obligations.

Xu Miaoqing was a little excited. This time she was no longer shy, "I accept the decree!"

As soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. Naturally, Xu Miaoqing knew these things very well. She knew that once she became the concubine, it would be difficult to leave the deep palace and move around again.

It's hard to see family members.

But it's different now. At least before the grandson ascended the throne, and when the grandson was in charge of Peiping, there weren't many restrictions on her.

The most important thing is that Xu Miaoqing can feel that the emperor's grandson attaches great importance to and trusts her. It seems that she is only given the right to do her own job as a concubine. But for such tasks, if the grandson does not ask, Xu Miaoqing will not dare to take the initiative.

Ask for it.

Otherwise, it would be 'disobeying women's ways', and you might be despised by your grandson and fall out of favor. Although you won't be thrown into the cold palace, it might be difficult to give birth to a legitimate son for your grandson.

After all, many people are now coveting the emperor's grandson, and Lian Zining's legitimate daughter will soon enter the palace. It is said that she is a gentle and skillful woman, very knowledgeable and talented.

Thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying said, "There will be a family banquet tomorrow. You should be busy these two days. After the family banquet, it is time for the civil and military officials to meet. You are responsible for taking care of these things. My husband is still here."

There’s a lot to deal with.”

Xu Miaoqing was even more excited and happy. She was not afraid of being tired or working hard. What she was most afraid of was that her grandson did not trust her. What she was most afraid of was that she could not do anything even though she had the title of concubine.

What's more, Xu Miaoqing has also heard a lot and seen a lot. There is a maid beside the grandson. She used to be Sister Yu'er, who was the personal maid beside the queen. This time she also came to Peking with her.

Xu Miaoqing naturally does not need to worry. The main reason is that sister Yu'er is trusted by the queen and has taken care of her grandson when he grew up. Sister Yu'er is now married and has children. Her husband is also the heir of the emperor's personal bodyguard, which counts.

He is naturally close to Taisun.

Hongxiu and Tianxiang were Taisun's former personal maids. They were released from the palace as soon as they reached the age and arranged to have a family. Zhishu and Yaqin were given to Taisun by the Prince. They were arranged by Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue before coming to Peking this time.

Get married.

Zhu Xiongying is quite busy. This time, a large number of civil and military officials and nobles came. In addition to Lao Zhu continuing to add support to Zhu Xiongying, this was also preparation for the relocation of the capital. This group of people can also be regarded as an obvious sign.

Sexual figures are the future of many nobles or aristocratic families.

After getting up, Zhu Xiongying finished washing and had a light breakfast with Xu Miaoqing.

Wang Chengen immediately began to 'hand over' the affairs of the Taisun Mansion in a polite manner to the Concubine Taisun. From now on, the daily affairs of the Taisun Mansion will basically be left to the Consort Taisun. Wang Chengen has been 'reduced' in power.

But Wang Chengen is not unhappy. Since his grandson is getting married, these matters will naturally be handed over to the concubine sooner or later. For Wang Chengen, he only needs to focus on taking care of his grandson now, and he doesn't

So much time to take care of too many things.

Wang Chengen's power is not small now. The chief manager of Taisun Mansion now also holds the responsibility of the 'East Factory'. This is to supervise the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Xiongying was in a good mood. After a set of punches, he drank tea and said, "Let's make some arrangements. I'm going to visit the imperial city today. I'll prepare everything that needs to be prepared."

These things are what Zhu Xiongying should do, and these things are what Zhu Xiongying must do well. Zhu Xiongying does not dare to delay the construction of the imperial city at all. This is a solid foundation that must be laid in order to move the capital.

Base.

"Phoebe, tiles, and gold bricks." Zhu Xiongying walked around the huge construction site, a little worried, "These materials will take two or three years to prepare. Building the Forbidden City is indeed not a simple matter. I have to start preparing now.

That’s all.”

There is really no need to rush these things. All Zhu Xiongying can do now is watch them in a down-to-earth manner and wait patiently.

After all, if you want a better Forbidden City, some things cannot be vague. The highest standards must be met, and the construction quality cannot be sloppy. Zhu Xiongying will never accept a shoddy project, and Lao Zhu is even more disgusted with it.

After looking around the Forbidden City, Zhu Xiongying was quite satisfied. Although many materials have not yet been delivered, in any case, the new imperial city of the Ming Dynasty now has some foundations.

"It was built once in Nanjing, once in my hometown of Fengyang, and now it's done again in Beijing. Three construction projects is no joke." Zhu Xiongying murmured to himself and said with a smile, "It's not bad, the effect is very good. Although Fengyang

That time in my hometown, the construction was only halfway completed and then stopped."

Zhu Xiongying was in a good mood and said to Wang Chengen, "Continue to be watched. If anyone is corrupt, bends the law, or cuts corners, let me know as soon as possible."

Wang Chengen naturally accepted the order. In fact, his Dongchang couldn't compare with Jin Yiwei. But no matter what, it still has some strength, and he can supervise a little and help a little.

In fact, not only Wang Chengen, but Song Zhong at this time also turned his attention away. Not only on the construction of the imperial city, but also on the construction of the city in Peiping, or the border army, various state capitals, etc., all came from Jinyiwei

's eyes and ears.

Song Zhong also knew very well that he was following the emperor's grandson, but His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also take some information from him from time to time. Including the emperor's grandson, they would occasionally get some information from other Jin Yiwei.

The three elders and grandsons of Lao Zhu's family, it seems that deep down they just don't trust anyone else except their own family. They are constantly trying to balance, and they are constantly making some restrictions.

After a busy day, Zhu Xiongying returned to the Taisun's Mansion. He wanted to have a good rest and wash up. He wanted to appear in front of everyone as a graceful and noble Taisun. These civil and military officials had to feel

The majesty and wealth of the heavenly family.

These things are really possible, and they can be regarded as things that Zhu Xiongying has to do well. As the emperor's grandson, he not only has to do good government affairs, but also needs to show the majesty of the heavenly family and do some political activities.

Naturally, it is also indispensable.

Xu Miaoqing looked very excited, even though she had already learned about housekeeping and wanted to become a mistress. But it was different now. The layout was not small and the difficulty was not low.

Although she is a little busy and may have some minor flaws, Xu Miaoqing is still more excited and excited.

Zhu Xiongying did not express too many opinions, but more of recognition and encouragement. There is no problem with a small omission. Zhu Xiongying also feels that this matter can be said to be a part of growth, and he may become more comfortable with it after a while.

Zhu Xiongying, who was in a good mood, changed into his regular clothes. Xu Miaoqing helped Zhu Xiongying change into his regular clothes, with stars in her eyes.

Not only does Zhu Xiongying look more delicate, but this handsome young man also has some majesty. Especially when he wears the four-clawed python robe specially given by His Majesty, he is even more majestic and looks extremely sacred and unattainable.

Zhu Xiongying pinched Xu Miaoqing's chin and said, "Are you ready for some small gifts I asked you to prepare?"

Xu Miaoqing quickly replied, "It's ready. I've written down the list and will reward my wife."

That's fine, Zhu Xiongying entertained civil and military officials in the front hall, and Xu Miaoqing entertained his wife in the back hall. The arrangements were clear!
Chapter completed!
