Chapter 191 It’s time for young people to stand out

As a good big brother, Zhu Xiongying was very particular. He let the fourth child Zhu Yunxuan and the fifth child Zhu Yunxian go to the East Palace together. In fact, whether the fourth child is the fourth child or the fifth child, they are not yet old enough to open a mansion.

They have just moved out of the palace now, and Lu is naturally taking care of their daily life. Although Da Zhu is gone, his two concubines are still well taken care of. Neither Lao Zhu nor Xiao Zhu will treat them harshly.

The descendant of Da Zhu.

Zhu Yunxu and Zhu Yunxu seem to be very well-behaved, and they are indeed more afraid of Zhu Xiongying. Especially after Da Zhu is gone, these two are even more well-behaved. They both know that whether they can live well in the future depends on their elder brother.

face.

Lu, in particular, has completely given up on any thoughts that he shouldn't have, and is basically teaching his three sons to please their eldest brother.

After Zhu Yunzhen and his fifth brother Zhu Yunzhen met, Zhu Xiongying asked, "Are you still studying recently?"

Zhu Yunzhen immediately replied, "My brother is studying the Analects of Confucius, and Yunzhen has already enlightened me."

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, and then said to Zhu Yunzhen, "Fourth brother, the words of the saints are naturally important. But you must also remember them well. It is better to have no books than to believe in the book. Of course, you must listen to the teachings of the saints, but you should not just believe in the words of the saints.

You also have to think for yourself.”

Zhu Yunxuan nodded quickly and said, "Brother, I accept the order."

He used to be a very lively child, but now he has become more cautious. He is probably in his early ten years, and he is also an age when he is more thoughtful. He does not dare to go overboard in front of Zhu Xiongying, and he is being well-behaved.

Zhu Xiongying continued to ask, "In addition to studying, have you ever practiced riding, archery, and swordsmanship?"

I have to say that Zhu Xiongying is a good eldest brother. If he is an irresponsible eldest brother, he will basically let his younger brothers go to school. Forget it about Zhu Yunwen. At first, Lu was wary of Zhu Xiongying, fearing that Zhu Xiongying would give Zhu Yunwen

The teaching was wrong, that is, Zhu Yunwen was occasionally forcibly ordered by Zhu Xiongying.

But now the fourth and fifth children are different, Zhu Xiongying can also discipline them legitimately.

Zhu Yunxuan quickly replied at this time, "My brother rides horses and archery for half an hour every day. A few days ago, the emperor ordered Wu Dinghou Shizi to teach us."

Zhu Xiongying was speechless for a moment. These operations of Lao Zhu were really full of beating meaning. It is estimated that Mr. Lu would not be able to settle down.

When Da Zhu fell ill, Mrs. Lu acted smart. As a result, her brother-in-law was punished. Guo Zhen, the prince of Wuding Marquis, was the one who executed Lu's brother-in-law and his family.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying couldn't talk about such things. He just encouraged and said, "This is a good thing. Big brother doesn't require you to master the six arts of a gentleman. But you still have to learn what you should learn. Don't be indifferent to the four bodies and the five grains."

A 'traditional scholar' is not a weak scholar with no strength, but a being who can mount a horse and lift a sword to kill the enemy. In other words, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Many scholars began to dislike sweating and began to think that they

Eminent people should write poetry, drink and paint.

Zhu Xiongying never thought about fully restoring the Six Arts and promoting the Six Arts to reverse the trend of scholars. This was mainly due to cost. If the Six Arts of Gentlemen were to be fully restored, Ming Dynasty's current finances would not be able to cultivate so many scholars.

Furthermore, as a result, children from poor families basically have no chance of getting ahead. As for the six arts, they will basically be monopolized by wealthy families, who have the capital to cultivate such scholars.

Although it is impossible to fully implement the six arts in this way, it does not mean that he has low requirements for the noble children or the clan.

Especially these younger brothers, in addition to Zhu Yunwen who had been taught a bad way by Lu for a long time, of course there is also the Yunxi at home who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. These two younger brothers are really stereotyped and there is no way to change them.

However, the fourth and fifth brothers still have a chance. Zhu Xiongying still feels that these two boys are better taught, and they are probably more 'model' than their second and third brothers, rather than 'problematic princes'.

After testing the academic performance of the fourth and fifth children, Zhu Xiongying felt a lot more relieved. They were quite obedient and sensible, and had not slacked off in their studies.

In fact, Lao Zhu has always attached great importance to the education of the children of the clan. Some of the children of the clan are quite good, but he does not deny that many of the children of the clan are almost as virtuous as his own Yunxi, or even more excessive.

After encouraging the fourth and fifth children well, Zhu Xiongying did not reward them with books or pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He only rewarded each of them with a royal horse, which can be regarded as an encouragement to them.

Xu Miaoqing began to prepare dinner and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Husband, it's time to prepare for the birthday of the emperor's grandmother."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, this is a serious matter, "Well, you can handle these matters. I'm quite busy during this period, so you should keep an eye on the affairs of the harem."

In fact, Xu Miaoqing has heard some rumors recently, and it would be false to say that she is not excited. But she is still the grand concubine after all, and she does not have the ability to interfere in the affairs of the court. She is only speculating on some things now.

That's all.

There are indeed many things that need to be dealt with in the next period of time, and there is indeed no way to relax in the next period of time. Zhu Xiongying knows this very well.

In this case, Xu Miaoqing probably won't have much time to spare. She also needs to help with some things. Some things in the palace cannot be ignored, otherwise they will be more troublesome.

Even though Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu thought they had good control over the affairs in the court, they obviously hoped to focus on stability at this time, and they did not want too many variables to occur at this time.

A storm is coming, and this is how many people are feeling at this moment. The people in the court are not necessarily panic-stricken, but it is certain that many people feel that this can be regarded as the calm before the storm.

As the uncle of the emperor's grandson, Chang Mao felt that he was promising.

After traveling around Goryeo and gaining some military honors, he returned to the Ming Dynasty. The third son is still in charge of Goryeo, and the second son is now guarding Beiping to take care of his mother. Chang Mao is in Yingtian Mansion and has become a powerful assistant to the emperor's grandson.

Seeing Xu Zengshou coming over, Chang Mao smiled happily, "Zengshou is here, let me see it quickly!"

Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth. Although he was a little younger than Chang Mao, he couldn't help it when he saw Chang Mao being so shameless. "I have met Zheng Guogong."

"It's obvious that we are a family." Chang Mao laughed and continued to say carelessly, "I called you here this time because you are usually cautious and honest, and you are also good at riding and shooting. This time,

You go to guard the palace city, what do you think?"

Xu Zengshou immediately clasped his fists and said firmly, "The last general will take your orders!"

Chang Mao nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Zengshou, you have to be more diligent this time. You are usually a little clever, but you should be smarter now. You should be more decisive when encountering things."

Xu Zengshou did not underestimate Chang Mao, because he knew that Chang Mao was Zhu Xiongying's uncle, and he was Zheng Guogong. Let's not talk about Chang Mao's seniority and title. What he saw in his eyes was that Chang Mao was a trivial matter.

Not smart, but never confused about big things.

After Xu Zengshou left, Chang Mao had someone call Xu Yingxu and said directly, "Now it's time for the four gates of Yingtian Mansion to rotate, so you go to Jinchuan Gate. You and Changxing Hou Shizi Geng Xuan guard the gate, and you should be more diligent during these days."

"

Xu Yingxu didn't say much and accepted the order neatly. He also knew that he really couldn't bargain at this time.

I don’t know since when, some of the rights of the Ming Dynasty began to change. Except for some of the famous heroes and generals who followed the emperor to conquer the world, more and more young people have emerged in the court.

And today's Yingtian Mansion makes people feel that the younger generation is the real protagonist, and these people do have considerable power in their hands.

Seeing Chang Mao arranging the security of the city and palace, many people even felt that if the emperor's grandson really wanted to rebel, he might actually be able to succeed, and there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Putting aside the fact that Chang Mao now controls the city and the imperial city, and Xu Yungong controls the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, it is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the Ming Dynasty's imperial army is now under the command of the emperor's grandson.

What's more, Lan Yu now controls the army in the southwest, Fu Youde controls the elites of the Nine Borders, and Li Jinglong is inspecting the guards in various places. The Emperor Taisun not only controls the Beijing army, but also a large part of the border army is now under the Emperor's Taisun

in hands.

In fact, everyone knows very well that this was the emperor's deliberate delegation of power, which allowed the emperor's grandson to have such a huge power in his hands.

In the past, most of these powers were in the hands of the prince, but now these powers are basically transferred to the hands of the emperor's grandson.

I have to lament the deep affection of emperors today. Looking at ancient and modern times, how many emperors can hand over such huge power to the prince without any precautions? It is not just the civil servants in the court, the most important thing is these

The military is a force that cannot be ignored.

Many people are starting to get busy at this time, and everyone feels that some special moments may be coming now. At this time, they naturally need to be more diligent, and at this time, they need to be more careful and careful.

Just fine.

There cannot be any accidents at this time, and absolutely no trouble can occur at this time. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is also the critical period for them to truly enter the court.

Lao Zhu, who had "retired behind the scenes", was not without any strength. A middle-aged man who looked quite ordinary came to Qianqing Palace.

Old Zhu, who was sitting on the chair, was listening and watching Xiao Xiao Zhu destroy the flowers with a stick, smiling quite happily.

These young people are still mature, and although they still lack the enthusiasm to do things, it's not a big problem. As long as they don't meet the right person like him, they should be able to get things done.

"I'll tell them something later. When people get old, they should retire. It's better to go back to their hometown to be recuperated. Our great-grandson will give them dignity. Don't stop them. It's time for the young ones to step up."
