Chapter 122 The most pure and filial piety

Lao Zhu is now stuck in the trouble of happiness. His eldest son is the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he has handled the affairs of the Ming Dynasty very well over the years. Lao Zhu knows that even if he is in trouble now, his eldest son can still manage the country of the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner.

Civil servants, military generals, honorable royal relatives, no matter which side they belong to, dare not say anything in front of the crown prince and must obey him.

As for Lao Zhu's precious eldest grandson, he has been very smart since he was a child. The precocious eldest grandson is very thoughtful and very talented. Whether it was the previous sea ban or the war against Japan, the Ming Dynasty's treasury has made huge gains. Now the eldest grandson

Based in Beiping, the construction of Beiping City and the development of Tianjin are all making rapid progress.

But now that the eldest grandson has military merit, this makes Lao Zhu a little embarrassed.

He naturally knew that the prince would not think too much, but there was no guarantee what the other courtiers would think. The prince did have many civil servants and generals, but the grandson already had a large number of nobles. If this were given to the generals under the emperor's grandson,

To gather merit, it is very likely that the generals under Taisun's account will overwhelm the Prince's team.

This is not an exaggeration. The number one general under the crown prince is Lan Yu, but this can still have something to do with the grandson. People like Fu Youde and Xu Yungong are obviously labeled as the grandson.

Da Zhu laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "I'm afraid my father didn't expect Ying'er to grow up so fast, right?"

"We know that Ying'er is good at martial arts. He has been able to tell it since he was a child." Lao Zhu said angrily, "It's just that we didn't expect that he would be so bold at his age. Biao'er, you are better than Ying'er.

It's political affairs, imperial means. But we are all convinced by Ying'er's vision. We also believe in him when he fights."

Da Zhu said proudly, "My son is stronger in literary arts, and Ying'er is stronger in martial arts. Ying'er has been away from the center these years and doesn't want to manage politics. He is very smart, and he will be able to master it if given some time."

Lao Zhu scratched his head and laughed twice, "If our son is promising, so will our grandson! Now it's good, our grandson is so promising, we have to suppress him?!"

Suppressing Zhu Xiongying is definitely not possible, but it is definitely necessary to suppress Zhu Xiongying's team a little. No matter what, Lao Zhu and Da Zhu do not want Zhu Xiongying's strength to expand too much, at least not suddenly

At first glance, one might think that the grandson's power exceeds that of the prince.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu can have confidence. They also know that no matter how Zhu Xiongying grows up, he will not really suppress Da Zhu. But some civil and military officials who are not enlightened and have no eyesight may not be able to see through some things.

In fact, in history, there is no shortage of emperors doting on their princes. Liu Zhi, the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Chengqian, the prince of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, were also quite favored. But it was mostly because the princes were young, not because the princes were young and strong.

power.

But Lao Zhu doesn't. He feels that his son and grandson will become more successful, and he will be happier. For his son and grandson to grow to such an extent, Lao Zhu's vigorous training is indispensable.

At this time, Shuang Quan entered the palace quietly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, His Royal Highness the County Prince had a conflict with someone."

Da Zhu really didn't like the third son Zhu Yunxi, but he was still his legitimate second son. What's more, Da Zhu also knew how Zhu Yunxi was valued and protected by his grandson.

Lao Zhu's eyes were almost red, he was in love with the house and he asked, "Who is it?"

Shuangquan knelt on the ground and said, "It's His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

King Zhu Song of Han is also Lao Zhu's nineteenth son. This is a rather cautious, intelligent and well-read prince, and one of Lao Zhu's more promising sons.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu instantly understood, because Zhu Xiongying wanted to move the capital to Peking, which was known to many princes. In fact, they had also heard that Da Zhu originally wanted to seal these princes to Jiubian to guard the border.

Become the Sai King.

But now the Ming Dynasty's border troops must not let the princes interfere, and there is no need to think about the Nine Borders. The land of Jingchu and the south of the Yangtze River is also the land that Lao Zhu and Da Zhu are reluctant to entrust. It is the source of finance and the main grain-producing area.

But we can't let the feudal princes interfere.

So these vassal princes are now going to the southwest, northwest, and Lingnan. This also makes the princes who grew up prosperously in Yingtian Mansion dissatisfied. They feel that it is their good nephews who have harmed them, and they are going to the wilderness.

land.

Now Lao Zhu was in a dilemma, the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. He was reluctant to punish his son, and he understood that his son had resentment in his heart. But that grandson was his biological grandson after all, not to mention giving Zhu Xiongying some face.

Da Zhu sighed and said, "Father, please reward Yunxi with some gold, silver and jade articles. If you don't let him go to inspect Yangzhou, the child will probably be a fool. Over there, my son went to talk to him.

say."

Lao Zhu nodded, and then asked, "Biao'er, you said that it's so thankless for us to have many feudal officials and many people to build it? You and Ying'er don't like it, and our other heirs also have some ideas."

Da Zhu smiled and said nothing, as this topic offended people.

Lao Zhu said angrily, "We used to think that Ying'er liked to pretend to be stupid. He learned it on his own, but now he looks just like you! You don't want to offend others, and you don't want to pay attention to us. Both of you, father and son, pretend to be stupid for us.

stupid!"

This made Da Zhu happy. He raised his head and said, "Father, Ying'er grew up with you and your mother, but after all, he is the heir of Er Chen. The more Er Chen looked at him, the more he felt that Ying'er looked like Er Chen and was not very delicate.

He said that he is also refined. My son is arty, but he looks like a refined and famous official, and he is also a handsome man."

"If Ying'er holds a scroll, he will really look like a scholar." Lao Zhu was also happy and talked happily, "It's just that Ying'er doesn't like holding books and likes hanging swords. Let me tell you, both you and Ying'er are fine.

, pretending to be a scholar. We can’t. If we want to pretend to be a scholar, we also act like a martial artist.”

Lao Zhu was leaning on the couch, chatting with Da Zhu. Da Zhu, on the other hand, was chatting and reviewing memorials.

It's a brand new day. When the emperor's grandson led his army to attack Mobei and returned triumphantly, all the civil and military nobles in the court were extremely excited. Singing praises was not only for Zhu Xiongying, but also to congratulate the Ming Dynasty for its eternal succession.

Lao Zhu smiled happily. His sons and grandsons are all so promising!

Zhu Xiongying doesn't know this. He is still studying bird guns. The current bird gun is actually a bronze pipe or an iron pipe. There is still a big gap between this and a 'gun'. This is something Zhu Xiongying is not very satisfied with.

something.

Especially during this expedition, these blunderbuss basically only fire one shot, which is definitely not enough for Zhu Xiongying. He has no intention of replacing cold weapons with firearms now, but these firearms should also play a role in the war.

With more weight, the research and progress of firearms should also be greater.

"Damn liberal arts students, damn marketing!" Zhu Xiongying cursed in a low voice, "Why didn't I learn some physics and chemistry? I can't make anything now. Even missiles, gunpowder can't be tinkered with, glass and soap can't be made.

I can’t get it out. I guess it takes a lot of effort to get the white sugar. I’m a shame as a time traveler!”

The shame of the time traveler may be exaggerated, but Zhu Xiongying feels that he has given a lot of manpower and material resources to the research institute, and it is time to see some output. Even Zhu Xiongying understands that scientific research or technological improvement does not happen overnight, but now he is not at all

I haven't seen any useful improvements, so I can't help but think too much.

Could it be that these people have been given such a good working environment that they have forgotten the spirit of hard work? Or is it that these constant preferential treatment have made them lose their ambition and feel confident to work here without fear?

No wonder Zhu Xiongying thinks too much now, the main reason is that these achievements are really unspeakable and there are no achievements at all!

Looking at Zhu Xiongying's cold face, this also made these officials and craftsmen nervous. Perhaps the emperor's grandson usually treated them well, and these people also felt that their current life was very good. They would inevitably chuckle and feel that they were valued.

.

But since they are taken seriously, if they are unable to produce results, these people may have no value in the eyes of the emperor's grandson. There is a high possibility that they will be beaten back to their original form, and they may even be dispatched or demoted to the garrison.

Zhu Xiongying almost said nothing with a cold face, and he didn't say any serious words. But his attitude and expression were enough to make many people tremble, and they couldn't help those under his command to think wildly at this time.

.

It's not a bad thing to think about it more. It's better than eating nothing with corpses. Zhu Xiongying gave them the opportunity. Whether they can seize it depends on the performance of these people.

Regardless of where the hero comes from, even the son of an old farmer, Lao Zhu, can sit on the throne. Zhu Xiongying also doesn’t believe in any aristocrats or aristocratic families. If you have the ability, you will be promoted to the throne. If you can contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty, you will be rewarded. This is Zhu Xiongying’s attitude.

, very simple and crude.

Returning to Fulong Palace, Zhu Xiongying remembered something, "My mother's concubine has a birthday, and no meat or fish is allowed in the palace for three days."

In fact, there was no need for Zhu Xiongying to say anything. Wang Chengen had already given the order. After following Zhu Xiongying for these years, Wang Chengen naturally knew that the queen, the crown prince, and their grandsons all had to be sacrificed on their birthdays, death anniversaries, and grandsons.

A few days ago, Wang Chengen carefully told Concubine Taisun that what His Highness said was that no meat or fish was allowed to be seen for three days, and no dancing or music was allowed. In fact, according to Taisun's standards, it was seven days. Taisun had always been like this, treating others leniently.

Be strict with yourself.

Let's sleep in separate rooms. Zhu Xiongying also thinks that these things need to be considered more comprehensively. In fact, he is used to this. Many people are watching his every move, and many people are recording, reporting, or discussing his every move, overtly or covertly.

.

For example, in Yingtian Mansion, although many civil servants did not like Zhu Xiongying being close to nobles and being martial, they never dared to say that Zhu Xiongying was unfilial. In their eyes, the emperor's grandson was the most pure and filial person.

At first glance, such a reputation is of little use, but Zhu Xiongying knows very well that reputation is extremely important in such an era. Especially for Guoben, these reputations can be regarded as one of his political capital, and he will naturally not be careless.
