Chapter 140 No Change

Carrying a food box, Zhu Xiongying slowly walked towards the Qianqing Palace. Throughout November and the twelfth lunar month, everyone was busy without touching the ground.

As the eldest son, Zhu Xiongying naturally needed to be buried. Da Zhu's nephew was buried on the east side of Xiaoling Mausoleum, and his posthumous title was 'Prince Yiwen'. In other words, although Da Zhu had presided over some government affairs, in terms of title, Da Zhu was only the prince.

If one day Zhu Xiongying ascends the throne, he can respect his father Zhu Biao as the emperor, but this seems to be the case.

There is no way to think about the New Year now. There is no such mood at all. There is no such emotion. The atmosphere in the palace is still sad. Even if some people are secretly happy or indifferent, at this moment You should pretend to be sad.

Otherwise, these things will become complicated, and it may make Lao Zhu, who is very suspicious, think of something, and it will not be pleasant at that time.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming, Lao Zhu raised his head and said, "Go back and rest earlier. I'm tired these days."

"I know, I'll have someone help me wash up later." Zhu Xiongying laid out the meal and said, "Grandpa Huang, come and have something to eat too. It's all light."

Lao Zhu nodded, picked up the big bowl with a calm expression, and took a sip of porridge, "The whole twelfth lunar month has been a mess, and the beginning of the new year is not going well. Is everything okay with your father's side?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, his voice still calm, "My father and mother were buried together. Yesterday I also went to see the Imperial Grandmother. It happened to be that I could see that the Imperial Grandmother and my mother-in-law had been in the same family for many years. Dad went over and took care of them first."

Lao Zhu ate in silence. In fact, he still couldn't accept it. His most beloved eldest son, the successor he had carefully cultivated, was just gone!

The grandfather and grandson ate in silence. In fact, they didn't have much appetite, they just wanted to fill their stomachs.

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhu asked, "Do you know that there have been discussions in the court recently that it is time for us to establish a prince?"

"Establishing a crown prince?" Zhu Xiongying was puzzled and found it strange. "My grandson is of the right age, and he is the legitimate son. After the death of his son, it is appropriate for him to establish a crown prince. If the imperial grandfather wants to establish a crown prince, he can only be his second uncle." "

Lao Zhu shook his head and said, "It's better not to mess around. Your imperial uncles have some thoughts after all. It's better to be a prince than an emperor. Ying'er, you said that if we are no longer here one day, your imperial uncles will Will they convince you?"

In the past, Lao Zhu really didn't worry about the affairs of the vassal kings, because he felt that as long as his prince ascended the throne, the vassal princes would still be good brothers. But it is different now, and Lao Zhu will inevitably be a little worried.

The prince here has just disappeared, and some vassal kings are eager to try. Even if those people know that the emperor's grandson is favored and know that the emperor's team is very thick, they also know very well that the difference between the prince and the prince is still very big. The dragon chair is even more irresistible.

Zhu Xiongying was also a little confident and didn't think there was anything to worry about. "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is so powerful, what else is there to be afraid of? The emperor's uncles may not want to fight with me, they are just unhappy."

The main reason why I say this is that in this era, it is basically "the son inherits the father's inheritance." Zhu Xiongying's imperial uncles also feel that the throne should be passed on to the sons instead of the grandchildren. That's all.

Lao Zhu nodded, and then asked, "It's okay that we're alive. If we kick our legs too, you might as well start a fight."

Zhu Xiongying was not very worried about this. Of course, he said confidently, "The emperor's uncles are not stupid. As long as the grandchildren don't go too far, they will not dare to rebel even if they are given some courage. Grandpa Huang, don't think too much about it." "

Lao Zhu glared at Zhu Xiongying angrily, but he basically agreed with Zhu Xiongying's point of view. Although the vassals of the Ming Dynasty were slightly stronger, they were only slightly stronger, and there was a huge gap in strength between them and the central court. .

The grandfather and grandson only had a brief chat. In fact, Lao Zhu had obviously considered Zhu Xiongying's position. Naturally, he also knew that some of his sons had some thoughts at this time.

But I only thought about this matter for a moment. Whether it was for Da Zhu or Xiao Zhu, Lao Zhu would not allow anyone else to sit on the throne after his death.

After all, Zhu Xiongying did not return to the East Palace, so he rested in Qianqing Palace. In fact, Zhu Xiongying also knew that even though he was observing filial piety during this period, Zhu Xiongying knew very well about some of Lao Zhu's situations.

The iron-clad Lao Zhu tossed and turned at night without talking, and often babbled. Lao Zhu, who lost his son in his old age, was actually using the heavy court affairs to numb himself, or else he was always in a sad mood and couldn't extricate himself.

It turned out that Shuangquan, who was next to Lao Zhu, sent a report. His Majesty the Emperor started to cry just when he was sitting there a few days ago, always looking in the direction of Xiaoling for an hour or two.

Zhu Xiongying, who had covered Lao Zhu with a quilt, quickly fell asleep, but felt that he would wake up soon after falling asleep and prepare to go to court.

After washing up, Zhu Xiongying took Lao Zhu and had a simple breakfast first. In fact, it was just a little porridge and a snack to cushion his stomach. Naturally, at this time, don't expect to eat well, just eat. How delicious it is.

After breakfast, Lao Zhu said, "Ying'er, come with us and don't go outside the palace."

"My grandson should schedule his shift, so that some people don't think too much." Zhu Xiongying laughed, patted his chest and said, "Grandpa Huang, don't worry. My grandson has a good physique, so I don't think it will be a problem."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Lao Zhu didn't say much. Of course he could take Zhu Xiongying directly to Fengtian Palace, or he could just wait for the civil and military officials to go on duty before showing up. There was actually no problem in that.

But if Zhu Xiongying goes to schedule the class first, this can be regarded as respect for Lao Zhu. Naturally, there is also the factor of emphasizing status and class order in front of civil and military nobles. These things must be the same for Zhu Xiongying. It has certain benefits.

It's a little cold outside, but Zhu Xiongying also feels that if he can't endure such a little hardship, then there is really nothing he can do. Then he will really become a dandy, a wealthy and royal family.

The civil and military officials have already lined up. Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as "late, late", but who dares to really say that Zhu Xiongying is late. Even the previous crown prince does not always arrive early. Waiting here, most of them will show up after the civil and military shifts are completed.

Seeing the appearance of Zhu Xiongying, many civil and military nobles felt a little relieved at this time. At least now it seems that there will not be too many changes in the court.

The Crown Prince's status was stable and powerful before, but now that the Crown Prince is gone, many things will change. The Crown Prince has a very strong team, but now that the Crown Prince is gone, the Crown Prince's status may not be certain.

There will also be some impact from this.

Many people are waiting and watching at this time, wanting to see if there will be any changes in some of the orders of the Ming Dynasty.

But judging from the current situation, don't think about changing the family, don't think about choosing a tree to live in, just continue to do your job well, don't think about some evil ways at this time, otherwise it will be very difficult.

It might be the way to die.

Zhu Xiongying, who said nothing, stood at the head of the class, led the civil and military officials into Fengtian Hall, and started a new day of morning court.

Many people know very well that the premature death of the Crown Prince will inevitably cause some changes in the structure of the Ming Dynasty. Also, the premature death of the Crown Prince will definitely disrupt some of His Majesty's arrangements.

This naturally means that there may be a lot of changes in the next period of time. Obviously these changes may be for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, or they may simply be for the smooth succession of the emperor's grandson.

This is very likely to happen, and this is also the calculation of many civil and military nobles. The next period of time is bound to be very sensitive, and they all need to be careful. Because once there are some omissions, it may be

A bloody storm.

In fact, everyone has this awareness. The transfer of power in the imperial court is often so cruel and ruthless. When it comes to imperial power, it is often even more cruel and terrifying.

Lao Zhulong walked into the Fengtian Hall and sat on the dragon chair. After all the civil and military officials paid homage, he pointed in front of him and said, "Grandson of the Emperor, stand here. From now on, you will visit the ministers every day and listen to the announcements of the ministers. You must understand clearly."

, A wise person will not be confused by treacherous people. A diligent person will not be addicted to comfort. A wise person will not be involved in grammar! "

Zhu Xiongying immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Sun Chen, please remember this."

Well, this can be regarded as Lao Zhu once again clarifying Zhu Xiongying's status. Some of the princes' little thoughts need to be hidden at this time, otherwise they are likely to be settled by the Queen.

In the past, the Prince's team felt a lot more at ease. They could more naturally seek refuge under the Emperor's command without being rejected. And the Emperor's team was even happier. Originally, they would have been worried about the Emperor.

Sun's position will become awkward, and it seems that he really thinks too much.

But at this time, there will be some people who feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

It's not that the emperor's grandson's status is something like that, but that the emperor seems to be giving advice, but the emperor is also trying to beat some people. The emperor's grandson's position is very stable, and the emperor's grandson has begun to formally take over some government affairs.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did not have to mention "benevolence", which is a quality that a prince must possess. When he came to the emperor's grandson, he never mentioned it. Naturally, it was not to express his dissatisfaction with the emperor's grandson. Such beatings,

In fact, it is just to let some civil servants know more clearly.

They should also have some idea of ​​the emperor's grandson's temper. They should also think carefully about the emperor's grandson's behavior.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty may become even more decisive and oppressive!
