Chapter 182 Punishment and grounding
Chapter 182 Punished and Grounded
Lao Zhu's illness suddenly recovered, and many people seemed to be relieved a little at this time.
Even if we know that Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's grandson, has a stable status, and even if we know that Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's grandson, has an excellent ability to handle government affairs, we still hope that Lao Zhu, the legitimate emperor, will appear in the court. This is a well-deserved anchor to the sea.
Lao Zhu, who reappeared in the court, seemed very angry. He looked at Xu Yungong and asked, "Wei Guogong, are you going to cause trouble in the Sixth Division?"
Xu Yungong immediately knelt down, actually a little confused, "I am guilty!"
"Guilty?!" Lao Zhu snorted coldly, and his voice suddenly became louder, "If you ask me, I am afraid that I am not afraid!"
As soon as these words were said, many people felt that something was wrong. Speaking of Xu Yungong's identity, he was the eldest son of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. This was the identity that everyone remembered in the past. But now, what many people remember is that Xu Yungong is the grandson of the emperor.
His biological brother and Xu Yungong may become the most distinguished generals in the hands of the emperor's grandson.
Now that His Majesty the Emperor is saying this in such a targeted way, it is interesting to see who he is targeting, or who he is knocking.
Just when many people were still thinking about it, Zhu Xiongying quickly stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Duke Wei has been ordered to take charge of the affairs of the War of Heroes and Martyrs. The Governor's Mansion, the Assistant to the Six Ministries, Sun Chen heard..."
Lao Zhu immediately yelled at Zhu Xiongying, "Arrogant! How can you insult the six officials who are the pillars of the country! As the emperor's grandson, don't you know that talented people in the country are rare? How can you look like a prince if you treat talented officials so lightly?
"
Let alone Xu Yungong, even many civil servants were frightened at this time. It is very simple to say that Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, has almost never been severely scolded by His Majesty the Emperor.
Now His Majesty the Emperor has made no secret of his dissatisfaction with the Emperor's Grandson, and severely scolded the Emperor's Grandson in the court. This is obviously an interesting thing, and maybe many people will start to make some popular associations at this time.
.
Lao Zhu seemed to be still angry, and yelled at Zhu Xiongying, "As a prince, I should be courteous and corporal, and recruit talents for the country. Look at you so wild and rebellious. Before, you presided over the imperial examination and made people talk about it. Now you are even more domineering.
You are neglecting the six important ministers! Go to the Fengxian Palace and plead guilty to your ancestors!"
Zhu Xiongying felt calm in his heart. He wanted to go to the Fengxian Palace to plead guilty, not because he had slighted the officials of the Six Ministries.
The more essential reason is that the treatment of some clans may be reduced in the future. Zhu Xiongying will naturally explain these matters to his ancestors in person. Since Zhu Xiongying proposed these matters, let him
Zhu Xiongying personally went to explain to his ancestors that this was Lao Zhu's attitude.
At this time, Xu Yungong panicked and said loudly, "The guilty minister please report, His Majesty the Emperor Taisun does not know the minister..."
Lao Zhu yelled loudly, "Oh? Are you still protecting me at this time?! The emperor's grandson acted arrogantly. As a minister, you don't know how to admonish him. Is this what a good minister should do?! Wei Guogong acted arrogantly and was imprisoned in Zhongshan.
One month in the palace, three months in salary!"
At this time, many people were panicked. Not to mention the nobles, many people from the civil servants also hurriedly stood up. They could see that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be really angry. They were not interceding for Xu Yungong, but
Pray for Zhu Xiongying.
Lao Zhu sat high on the throne and watched with cold eyes. He wanted to see who really cared about his grandson, who was adding fuel to the flames, and who was not sincere in his words.
Lao Zhu snorted coldly and said with one word, "The emperor's grandson is banned from leaving the East Palace for three months!"
Looking at Lao Zhu walking away, this drama seems to have reached its climax. But both Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying understand that this is just the beginning, and the subsequent plot is more interesting.
.
The civil servants and nobles were panicked at this time, because the prince who was originally thought to be the most stable seemed to be in great trouble.
Looking at the flustered ministers and the messy court, Zhu Xiongying said nothing. The water was not muddy enough now, so Zhu Xiongying needed to temporarily withdraw from the court so that he could watch indifferently.
The most important thing is that Zhu Xiongying knows very well that what Lao Zhu does is actually to sing a double act. In other words, Lao Zhu intends to temporarily drive Zhu Xiongying out of the court, so that Lao Zhu can reduce some clan members.
treatment.
It was Lao Zhu's decision to give high treatment to the clan in the beginning. Now he wants to weaken the treatment for the clan, and Lao Zhu plans to do it himself. He is the only one who has such qualifications. If his grandson does that, there will be a lot of confusion within the clan.
There's definitely a lot of dissatisfaction.
There are some things that Lao Zhu feels are more appropriate for him to do personally. He doesn't want to make his family uneasy because of some things.
Zhu Xiongying didn't say much. After going down to court, he immediately went to Fengxian Hall obediently. He really needed a good explanation.
Most people are not qualified to enter a place like Fengxian Hall. Apart from Lao Zhu, the head of the family, the most legitimate people who can enter now are Zhu Xiongying and the ignorant little kid Zhu Wenyin.
As for some other clans, of course they are also qualified to come to worship, but at that time they will only be "accompanying the worshipers".
Zhu Xiongying offered incense to his ancestors one by one, then sat on the futon and looked at Da Zhu's tablet, "Father, don't blame me for being cruel to the emperor's uncles. If the legacy of our old Zhu family is to be passed on, it must be
We need to slightly weaken the clan's treatment. No matter how cruel I am, I won't draw my sword against them, and they will still live a good life."
"In the future, I will definitely consider their future for our clan." Zhu Xiongying continued to speak, as if talking to himself, "Apart from anything else, let's not talk about Japan for now. Those who stay in China in the future,
A capable clan will definitely find something for them to do so they won't be idle."
This is also Zhu Xiongying's innermost thoughts. Anyway, he will never treat the clan like pigs like Zhu Di did in history. He will not let the clan just eat, drink and have fun without finding any pursuits in life. In that way, Zhu Xiongying
I feel bad.
As for the clan entering the court, or the clan being involved in other fields, Zhu Xiongying naturally knows the pros and cons. Just like Zhu Xiongying plans to give some princes remote fiefdoms, some people will definitely say that there must be some clans nesting in the capital.
Disadvantages.
But no matter what, what Zhu Xiongying thinks is that compared to the real seal, there are still some advantages to remote leadership. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Zhu Xiongying also knows that there is no so-called best of both worlds for some things. He knows that what he can do is
It is good if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages as much as possible, or if it is in line with long-term interests.
Zhu Xiongying was talking to his ancestors in the Fengxian Hall, but at this time the court was in chaos.
Xu Yungong was scolded and grounded by His Majesty the Emperor. This actually was nothing. Even though Xu Yungong had a special status, generally speaking, when he was an official in the Hongwu Dynasty, he was inevitably beaten by Lao Zhu. This is a normal thing.
It's just that the emperor's grandson was scolded by the emperor in the court, or even banned. This is something that many people think is very abnormal. Such severe punishments are unfamiliar to many people, and they are also worried that Guoben's position will be shaken.
Naturally, Xu Miaoqing had heard about it. Like many people in the East Palace, they had no master. They were all used to the emperor's grandson having a stable position, and they were used to his highness being favored. But now, his highness the emperor's grandson was scolded and punished to go to the Fengxian Palace.
, or even being grounded next, this is obviously different, something is wrong.
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with this kind of thing, and Xu Miaoqing can't figure out what happened now.
She still has a certain degree of political wisdom, and she was born in a noble family. However, she has never personally dealt with some matters, and her real exposure to court affairs is quite limited. At this time, the true and false information made her a little confused.
Not sure.
Until Wang Chengen came over and said that the little guy Zhu Wenyin had been picked up by His Majesty the Emperor, and that he had been specially sent to pick him up.
Xu Miaoqing felt as if she knew something, but she was still extremely worried. She was worried that her husband's status had been shaken, and she was also worried that her eldest brother's wild behavior would lead to His Royal Highness being punished. She was really worried now.
But she didn't dare to do anything more. After all, she was still afraid of Lao Zhu deep down, and she didn't dare to plead for mercy.
Other concubines or princes in the harem also knew the news, and each of them was a little confused. Some may be more excited, some may be more worried, and of course it is not ruled out that some people want to add fuel to the flames.
This is all possible, because it seems to be chaos now, and no one knows what will happen next.
Looking at Zhu Wenyin rolling on the dragon couch, Lao Zhu laughed and said, "Yin'er, are you hungry?"
Zhu Wenyin was not hungry and wanted to play a game, "Great-grandfather, great-grandfather!"
Zhu Wenyin, who raised his hands in the air, squatted down suddenly, holding the mattress with both hands, and his big head against the dragon couch. His little fat legs were kicking, but he couldn't exert any force at all, so he couldn't turn somersaults at all.
Old Zhu laughed, stretched out his hand and gently cupped Zhu Wenyin's fat ass. Little Zhu immediately turned over crookedly. The happy little Zhu immediately got up, rushed to Old Zhu and pouted.
First he put his arms around Lao Zhu's neck and kissed Lao Zhu on the face, and then leaned on his fat face and asked Lao Zhu to kiss him.
Old Zhu was very happy and kissed Xiao Zhu’s left cheek, right cheek, and also kissed Xiao Zhu’s forehead.
"With the same virtue as your father, your father was also such a scoundrel when he was a child!" Old Zhu happily hugged little Xiao Zhu and said happily, "How can we like this with our temperament! We, both father and son, are like this!
This one was restrained!"
He doesn't like to hug grandchildren, and he doesn't like to be particularly disgusting. Old Zhu didn't like these things before. But Zhu Xiongying used to be like this and liked to kiss. Now Xiao Zhu is the same way and still likes to kiss.
Lao Zhu looks disgusted on the surface, but he is very happy in his heart. These children are so approachable and sensible!
