Talking about the current Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying is not narcissistic. Maybe he is the least afraid of Lao Zhu. A large part of the reason is probably because they are separated by generations. Lao Zhu has always been relatively tolerant towards Zhu Xiongying.

It may also be because Zhu Xiongying performed well and Lao Zhu felt happy because of it.

Xiao Zhu is already not afraid of Lao Zhu, but now there is someone who is even less afraid of Lao Zhu, and that is Xiao Zhu.

Sitting on the dragon couch, Xiao Xiao Zhu shouted angrily at Lao Zhu, and the fierce little brat waved his little arms from time to time. Lao Zhu was cheerful, even though his great-grandson shouted at him from time to time,

Lao Zhu was also cheerful.

Xiao Zhu, who was sitting aside, looked at it with a smile. Many emperors in history were cruel and suspicious in their old age. And the Hongwu Emperor in history went completely crazy after the death of his wife and son. Lao Zhu, who was already ruthless, killed

It was like a river of blood.

It is a little better now, probably because Lao Zhu's successor has received imperial education since childhood, and Xiao Zhu, who has a special background, is also very close to Xungui. At this time, Lao Zhu does not need to make a big deal out of considering the succession of the emperor's grandson.

slaughter.

Lan Yu is still alive. Lan Yu does not need to be skinned and stuffed with grass, because Lan Yu is also Zhu Xiongying's team.

Lao Zhu, who was teasing his great-grandson, looked back and noticed that Xiao Zhu looked over with a smile and started to laugh. He really doted on his eldest grandson, but Lao Zhu was also very pleased that his eldest grandson had always been close to him.

He cared very much. Today, Lao Zhu can feel the warmth of family in this eldest grandson.

Lao Zhu, who lacked a sense of security and longed for family affection, naturally paid more and more attention to and relied on his eldest grandson.

Glancing at Lian Qiongqiong, who was a little worried, Lao Zhu said, "Give me a pair of phoenix hairpins. What do you think of Ying'er?"

"Grandpa Huang's reward is certainly not bad." Zhu Xiongying laughed and said, "Grandpa Huang, let's play with Yin'er, this little thing is going to cry again."

Lao Zhu hurriedly went to tease his great-grandson, because his great-grandson was unhappy and was playing games just now. How could he not accompany him to make trouble?

In fact, Lao Zhu is really getting stronger with age. Lao Zhu just gave birth to his 26th son last year, but he died before the full moon. But now that Zhang Meiren is pregnant, maybe he will give Lao Zhu a 27th son, or

Sixteenth girl.

As for Feng Chai, Lian Qiongqiong received the gift because she was pregnant with Zhu Xiongying's heir. Not to mention Zhu Xiongying, Xu Miaoqing didn't take it seriously. Lian Qiongqiong also knew it well and would not have other ideas.

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say. There were several emperor uncles and aunts younger than him. In fact, Zhu Xiongying didn't have much impression of some of the emperor uncles and aunts. Not only because there were too many people, but also because there were too many people.

Because some of the emperor's uncles were enfeoffed or married off, the most important thing was that Zhu Xiongying was the emperor's grandson and had a special status.

There are many people who live in the East Palace and live in the Qianqing Palace. However, Zhu Xiongying's imperial uncles and aunts usually do not go to these two places. These two places are quite special. Running too diligently can actually cause some problems.

Misunderstood.

Xu Miaoqing is actually a little afraid of Lao Zhu, but fortunately, he is now familiar with him. In addition, Xu Miaoqing's position is naturally more stable because he gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor's grandson.

She calmly directed the palace maids to prepare the dishes. Lian Qiongqiong couldn't help even if she wanted to. Because she was pregnant, even if she could only give birth to a bastard, she was still pregnant anyway. It was better to raise more children at this time, lest anyone think Xu Miaoqing was jealous.

And so on.

Zhu Wenyin and Lao Zhu played around for a while and then fell asleep again. This is also a characteristic of children. They spend most of the time sleeping every day. Zhu Xiongying also understands this very well. When he was trapped in a small

My body is always extremely sleepy.

Lao Zhu actually enjoys the current atmosphere. His grandson and two granddaughter-in-laws accompany him to eat and chat.

Naturally, they just talk about family affairs, some interesting stories about their great-grandchildren, or other matters about the prince and princess. In front of his grandson-in-law, Lao Zhu will almost never mention the affairs of the court, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This rule is

After standing up, Lao Zhu also felt that it was time to perfect this rule in Xiao Zhu's hands.

He is full of expectations for Xiao Zhu, because now it seems that the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be Xiao Zhu. He started the court and established rules, but many things cannot be accomplished overnight and can only be perfected in Xiao Zhu's hands.

stand up.

After dinner, Zhu Xiongying naturally returned to the East Palace. Little Zhu naturally did not need Old Zhu to take care of him. Considering that Lian Qiongqiong was pregnant, Zhu Xiongying still stayed at Lian Qiongqiong's place.

This is not a scumbag. Zhu Xiongying also feels that the feudal dynasty has certain merits. People like him, who have three wives and four concubines, are loved and supported by everyone. This is a manifestation of responsibility for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying still needs to get up early and continue to deal with court affairs. Especially seeing the empty throne, everyone has become more accustomed to this scene. Everyone has become accustomed to Lao Zhu not coming to court from time to time.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Xiongying naturally has no choice but to speak less and listen more. Many times he also needs to express his attitude and make decisions.

Zhu Xiongying is also quite good at such things. In other words, after more than a year of experience, he has more experience in observing politics before the court. Coupled with the education he received since childhood, Zhu Xiongying is naturally more and more familiar with these things.

Very handy.

The matter of moving the capital can be said to be a major event in the court. In fact, Zhu Xiongying was building a city and a palace in Beiping a few years ago. Many people knew that the Ming Dynasty was going to move the capital. Such a thing was inevitable and natural.

It is also inevitable.

Some people have already recognized these things, but some people are still trying to struggle. Maybe there will be some twists and turns, and maybe the emperor and the emperor's grandson can change their minds.

If you offend the emperor's grandson or something, you shouldn't lose your head. And once the capital is moved to Beiping, not to mention leaving the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River will make them uncomfortable. Many officials and aristocratic families are based in the south. If the capital is moved to

Now that they've gone north, it's natural that they can no longer take care of things at home.

Zhu Xiongying basically listened to such memorials and the suggestions of some officials and silently wrote them down in his notebook. There were some things that did not require him to express his position at this time.

There must be resistance to moving the capital. Some courtiers still want to get a breakthrough from Zhu Xiongying. Let these people struggle. Lao Zhu will come forward next. When Lao Zhu goes to force the capital to be moved, it will naturally happen.

It means that the resistance will be easily overcome.

What is happening now is not just moving the capital, the imperial court is preparing to mobilize troops in Yunnan and Guizhou, which is also a very big matter.

At this time, there is basically no objection. The main thing is that you can try to persuade before the war starts. But now the army is about to leave. At this time, shouting a strike or something like that will shake the morale of the army. By that time

Maybe the head was chopped off and sacrificed to the flag.

In fact, everyone has a tacit understanding on this point. No matter how much noise you make before the war, it doesn't matter much. But now if a war like this is going to start, you must not say some unlucky words before the army starts fighting. At this time

They should work together to prepare for the next war.

Some matters in the court are actually not that important. The main reason is that by the time they get to the court, some big shots have already made their attitudes clear.

Some of the things everyone is discussing at this time are quite important in Zhu Xiongying's opinion, but they do not require him to pay too much attention to these things.

As long as you get used to this, Zhu Xiongying feels that many things in the job of emperor are so unfree. Especially before there is no one who can better share the work, Zhu Xiongying needs to sit in the court.

Even if at first glance it seems that there are not many things in the court that need to be dealt with immediately, or that there are no particularly big things in the court now, people just can't leave here, and they need to keep an eye on it here.

"It is like this now, and it is estimated that it will be like this for many years to come." After leaving the court, Zhu Xiongying said to himself, a little depressed, "If he wants to travel around the world and conquer the country personally, he probably has to wait until the court situation is stable, or his son grows up.

It’s important, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave the capital.”

It's no problem to leave the palace, and it's probably not a big problem to have a private visit incognito, but the area is only around the imperial city, just walking around the capital. It's impossible to run far, and the civil and military officials will not allow it.

Zhu Xiongying would not be so irresponsible.

"Freedom, I have lost my freedom now. But I have also gained such great power. This can be considered a gain and a loss."

It's better not to have such unreliable thoughts. Being the emperor's grandson in a down-to-earth manner and being prepared to take over is probably the more important thing for Zhu Xiongying, which is also in line with his status.

matter.

After finishing talking to himself, Zhu Xiongying felt that he needed to start thinking about dealing with some things now. Let's communicate with some officials first. Even since he came to power, Zhu Xiongying had some understanding and contact with officials of third rank and above, but

Still need to talk.

As an emperor and a minister, Zhu Xiongying now needs to start thinking about cultivating his own team. He needs to seriously consider taking over.

Zhu Xiongying hoped that his memory was not accurate, but he more or less remembered that Lao Zhu seemed to only live to be seventy years old. That time may be getting closer.

Zhu Xiongying hopes that he can change some things, but he also needs to be prepared to avoid being caught off guard. This is also because Zhu Xiongying knows very well that many people who are in charge of Lao Zhu do not dare to have any thoughts and ideas.

And once a new king takes the throne, some people may have some ideas, and may want to take back some breathing space from the high-pressure Hongwu Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying felt that such a thing should not happen!
