Zhu Xiongying is in a good mood, mainly because many things have been handled well during this period, and the progress of many things can be considered satisfactory.

This is of course good news for him. If you continue to maintain such a pace, the Ming Dynasty can further grow with a more stable development. This is his expectation, and this is his expectation for the development of the Ming Dynasty.

The noble group led by Xu Huizu can now detect some things. Although the current crown prince still attaches importance to the noble group, it can also be seen that the royal group is beginning to consciously support the civil servant group.

Such things make them feel a little complicated, and they feel that these things are a little bit in line with their expectations and are not in their interests.

This has been like this since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Gui and Wen Qing have always been light. Many people also think that this pattern will continue to be maintained. Whether it is today's son, the previous prince, or the current grandson, they are all closely related to the Wuxun Group.

Now it seems that some things have changed a little, and the civil servant group has received conscious support.

This is probably because of the emperor's mind. They care more about the balanced pattern and will never make the power of one side too large.

Xu Huizu came to Wenhua Hall and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, this time we go to the north of Mo, there will be Duke Liang and Duke Ying. Our Ming Dynasty King's troops are divided into two groups, and the prince is not allowed to follow the army to go to the expedition."

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but feel happy and said to his brother-in-law, "Oh? Duke of Wei also saw that this palace was weakening the forces of the vassal kings."

In fact, it doesn’t take a look at it to know that the Crown Prince does not object to some vassal kings, but the Crown Prince does not like those vassal kings with military power, which anyone can see. Moreover, some princes now cannot be vassal kings, and many people also know that this is what the Crown Prince means.

The princes have won fiefs from afar. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the next pattern. It is very likely that the lives of some princes will be the next life, and it will be difficult for them to be powerful and prosperous in fiefs. Unless these princes are willing to go to some wilderness to build a country.

Xu Huizu did not speak, but Zhu Xiongying continued, "Go and remember the situation of the princes and the three guards. The food and salary should be paid in full. But if the troops are to be deployed, the three guards should be sent out. If they should not be sent out, the three guards should fill the garrison."

This is what Liu Bei borrowed from Jingzhou, and the crown prince was considered a conspiracy. I guess many princes would not dare to say anything at this time, and they could only suffer the loss of this mute.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying was very comfortable in doing such things. For example, when he went to fight the southwest, King Chu and King Xiang, they either sent out the three princes directly, or their three guards to fill the void of the garrison after the imperial army set out.

As for whether these princes and three guards can go back after the imperial army triumphs, it’s just thinking about it.

In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, the Ming Dynasty is now constantly establishing garrisons on the border, or directly deploying troops on the border, constantly compressing the living space of some foreign countries and barbarian countries.

The Ming Dynasty is now in a situation where there are not enough troops and horses. The princes’ three guards have been transferred out, so naturally they should not think about taking them back. That is not a wise choice, and it is best not to speak up on the initiative.

After all, in the fiefdom, they are basically within the Ming Dynasty, which is generally a relatively stable place. Even if there are mobs rebelling and nearby garrisons, there is no need for the princes to hold military power. Being a stable prince of Taiping is better than anything else.

Xu Huizu naturally understood Zhu Xiongying's thoughts, and also felt that there was no problem with the crown prince doing this.

He is not just Duke of Wei, he is also the eldest brother-in-law of the crown prince. The crown prince is his sister, and the crown prince's legitimate son is his nephew. As the head of the nobles, Xu Huizu also felt that he was conquering the world for the Xu family. Of course, he hoped that his nephew could live in the world in the future, and hoped that his nephew would not have to worry about the rebellion of the vassal kings.

Throughout history, the vassal kings holding military power are somewhat of a hidden danger. Even if these hidden dangers in the Ming Dynasty don’t seem to be big now, this is also a hidden danger. If it can be solved now, it will naturally be a good thing.

Xu Huizu understood what to do, and Zhu Xiongying felt at ease. He didn't need to worry too much about these things.

At this moment, Xu Miaoqing was very generous as a grandmother concubine. Looking at Lian Qiongqiong, who was pregnant with Liujia, Xu Miaoqing was not jealous. The main reason was that the fat boy lying on his legs was very cute, and Xu Miaoqing's confidence also came from this fat boy.

"Yin'er, do you want your younger brother or your younger sister?" Xu Miaoqing picked up her fat son and asked with a soft smile.

Xiao Xiao Zhu immediately said silly and looked very excited, "If you want your brother, I want your brother, I don't want your sister!"

Xu Miaoqing was happy and said to Xiao Xiao Zhu, "But your father just wants a daughter. He already has the naughty guy like you. If you want a younger brother, can you catch bugs with you?"

Xiao Xiao Zhu got serious and said, "But Grandfather said that he wanted a boy and didn't want a daughter. You can help us beat the bad guy!"

Xu Miaoqing didn't know what to say. Her precious son had a lot of time before today. Although the emperor's grandson occasionally complained, he felt that the emperor's grandson shouldn't teach Yin'er something at this time. But these words were just the words of the emperor's grandson, and Xu Miaoqing didn't dare to say them.

Xu Miaoqing was carefully explaining Lian Qiongqiong that she is now more experienced in giving birth.

Just as the two were chatting, Wang Chengen hurried over, "Your Highness, the emperor is seriously ill, and he takes the concubines, princess and princesses in the harem to pray for blessings. The concubines will rest for the time being. Any concubines in the palace who are pregnant and whose children are less than one year old need to pray for blessings."

Xu Miaoqing was shocked and quickly stood up and asked, "Grandpa Emperor is sick? I greeted you yesterday, and Grandpa Emperor's dragon body is still healthy."

Wang Chengen said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, how can I know these things?"

Lian Qiongqiong stood up with her stomach and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, although I am unable to move, I should pray for your Majesty."

Although Lian Qiongqiong is the concubine of the grandson, his identity is second only to Xu Miaoqing. But this is also a "concubine". In Lao Zhu's mind, such an identity is naturally not considered a serious granddaughter-in-law. Lao Zhu is in a good mood and is definitely called Lian Qiongqiong's identity "Grandpa of the Emperor", but he doesn't recognize it most of the time.

Xu Miaoqing was a little embarrassed. If Lian Qiongqiong was not pregnant, if she was not about to give birth, she would have to pray for anything she said. But in the case of Lian Qiongqiong, if she asked her to pray for blessings again, it would obviously be a bit unreasonable.

At this time, Wang Chengen said again, "Your Highness, Your Highness, His Highness, also has a decree. Anyone who is pregnant in the palace does not need to pray for blessings."

Um?

Lian Qiongqiong was born in a family of civil servants. She was gentle and also a talented woman. She has certain attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is usually a person who is not competing or competing. She is more popular with Xu Miaoqing.

However, Xu Miaoqing was not from a civil servant family. Even when she was in the Xu family, her father had always had strict requirements on his children and did not allow his children to do anything that exceeded the rules. However, his background environment also made Xu Miaoqing more sensitive to some things. What's more, her second daughter of the King of Zhongshan was the wife of the crown prince, and Xu Miaoqing was also very sensitive to many things.

Especially after having a son, although Xu Miaoqing dared not and would not consider things in the court, she would also pay more attention to some things.

His Majesty the Emperor is seriously ill, which naturally makes people worry. But how could this decree be given to the crown prince?

Even if it is the crown prince, normally when the emperor is seriously ill, many people will avoid suspicion and even block some news from the crown prince. And if everyone is so generous now, it is a way out unless the emperor is terminally ill, and this is the last solution.

But this is nothing. Xu Miaoqing stood up and said, "Sister, you rest in the palace. Grandpa the emperor deserves the most child. Sister is about to give birth, so he should rest. Only then can the emperor feel at ease."

Lian Qiongqiong held his big belly, and was about to bend his knees when Xu Miaoqing helped him up, "I will obey the order, and I will copy the scriptures for Your Majesty in the palace."

Xu Miaoqing stood up and said to her personal maid, "Go and get my court uniform!"

In fact, many people feel used to the fact that Emperor Zhu is sick. Even though he knows that Emperor Zhu is in good health today, Emperor Zhu is really sick and fake. This time he has too many numbers, and he can't count them. Many people are too lazy to discuss whether Emperor Zhu is really sick.

But this time it was obviously different, because in the past, even if the emperor was sick, it was the emperor who was in the Qianqing Palace, but the prince or grandson was in charge of the government. But now, His Majesty the Emperor needs someone to pray for blessings, so he is naturally seriously ill.

The harem was in panic, and the concubines in the harem also received the order. Many people were frightened and prepared in panic. Some princesses who had not yet married began to prepare.

Xu Miaoqing changed into court clothes and said to Wang Chengen, "Go to report to Your Highness immediately. I will take the concubines in the harem to worship the First Palace to pray for His Majesty. The Grand Sacrifice Altar or the Altar of the People's Republic of China will not be convenient for me to go to."

Fengxian Hall was because Lao Zhu was grateful to his ancestors, so he built to worship the ancestors of the Zhu family. However, the altar of the sovereign, the sacrificial altar, the Taimiao, etc. are not suitable for Xu Miaoqing to worship. Even if she is qualified, some other concubines, etc. are not qualified.

When Xu Miaoqing remembered something, she looked around and found herself in panic just now that her fat son was gone. This is not possible. As the great-grandson of today's son, Xiao Xiao Zhu should also pray for blessings.

Wang Chengen lowered his head and whispered, "The Emperor cares about His Highness and let His Highness rest."

Xu Miaoqing seemed to understand that even if His Majesty the Emperor was "seriously ill", he just felt sorry for his grandson and great-grandson.
