Chapter 206 Cub
s
His Majesty the Emperor was seriously ill. The sudden news caught everyone off guard and felt something unexpected.
His Majesty the Emperor did not appear in the court before, and more people just thought that this was at most the tacit understanding between the emperor and the grandson. Many people thought that it was just the emperor who was consciously cultivating the grandson's ability to govern the government, but now it seems that this is not the case.
For a moment, let alone the women in the palace rushed to worship the First Palace to pray for the emperor, the men actually had no choice but to stay idle.
Those princes who have not yet grown up have also changed into court clothes. Places like the Grand Sacrifice Altar and the Soochow Altar are not suitable for female relatives to go there, but as the descendants of Lao Zhu, they must go over to pray for blessings.
The vassal kings who are still in Peking, or the princes who have already opened their own government but have not been granted a vassal, will also hurry to the imperial city at this time. Including the imperial grandsons, they will all go to the imperial city. If anyone dares to fall out at this time, it will not only die in the society, but will be punished by the clan's mansion.
There were also many civil and military ministers, who quickly changed into court uniforms, and did not need to give any intention to rush to the imperial city.
The brothers Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou guarded the city gates, Feng Cheng and Fu Rang also stood on the wall of the imperial city with their men. Those who knew a little bit of detail were also shocked. Although they had known that the crown prince had strength in the military before, they knew that His Majesty the Emperor was interested in cultivating the crown prince's wings.
But now, the imperial city was almost completely controlled by the royal grandson. If something really happened, judging from the current situation, the royal grandson almost completely controlled the imperial city.
Zhu Xiongying had a solemn expression. He did not appear in the Altar of the Soochow or the Grand Sacred Altar, but just knelt quietly in Fengxian Hall.
The princes and grandchildren also came, and they were shocked when they saw the princess kneeling in front of them without saying a word.
Zhu Qi walked up to Zhu Xiongying and whispered, "Taisun, you should go to the Altar of the Soochow."
"Uncle San, go there." Zhu Xiongying looked at Da Zhu's tablet and his voice was very soft. "We all know what kind of personality the Emperor Grandpa is. I don't know whether those people will protect the Emperor Grandpa, but the ancestors of our Zhu family will definitely protect the Emperor Grandpa."
Zhu Qi was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "It's not appropriate for me to go there."
Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said to Zhu Qi, "Uncle San, don't tell lies, it's appropriate for you to go there. Uncle San is now also the master of our Zhu family. There is also a great sacrificial altar in the Soochow Hall. Uncle San is here to arrange it. I'll talk to the emperor and grandmother and chat with my father."
Zhu Qi didn't say anything more. He was going to go to Peking and to move the capital. But now it seems that he still needs to stay in Yingtian Prefecture, and he will definitely not be able to return to his fiefdom in a short period of time.
The atmosphere in Fengxian Palace is quite dull. Occasionally, one or two concubines in the harem who used too much force to cry. Basically, there was no need for Zhu Xiongying to say anything, and Xu Miaoqing didn't need to express any attitude.
Although Concubine Guo Ning has now gone to Yanzhou to take care of her grandson, Concubine Guo Hui, Concubine Hu Shun and others are of relatively higher grades, and they all know what to pay attention to at this time.
He knew that this was an acting and that this was a deliberate performance, but Zhu Xiongying was still a little confused.
For some reason, Zhu Xiongying always felt that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the lonely. Perhaps in a short while, he would not be able to find someone to act coquettishly or cheat, and it would be difficult for him to feel some concern. By that time, he could only sit on the dragon throne alone, and it would be difficult for him to feel some family affection, or even normal human feelings.
For three consecutive days, except for the central departments that must keep running, more people are praying for the emperor.
It seems that praying for blessings still has a certain effect. Amid the nervousness, worry, or hidden excitement of many people, some good news finally came out of the palace. His Majesty the Emperor woke up, and His Majesty's dragon body was "healthy".
This is probably very good news, and it really makes many people feel at ease. The atmosphere these days is really weird, and many people are even preparing for something in secret to avoid being caught off guard.
Rubbing his numb knees, Zhu Xiongying slowly came to the heavily guarded Ganqing Palace to see his emperor grandfather.
"I'm going to ride a big horse!" Xiao Xiao Zhu shouted to Lao Zhu with a small stick, "I'm going to ride a big horse!"
Old Zhu was happy and said to Xiao Xiao Zhu, "It's good, let's ride a big horse! Yin'er, let Grandpa Gao drink a little tea and let us take a break."
Originally, Zhu Xiongying was just listening, but suddenly he felt something was wrong, and he was really shocked.
Zhu Xiongying was angry and pointed at Xiaoxiao Zhu, "Zhu Wenyin!"
"What a roar?!" When Xiao Xiao Zhu was scared to tears, Old Zhu pointed at Zhu Xiongying and shouted, "You have a lot to do, let's get out!"
After shouting all this, Lao Zhu squatted down and hugged Xiao Xiao Zhu, "Yin'er, let's ride a big horse, and Grandfather also likes riding a horse the most. When Yin'er grows up a little, we will take you to ride a horse and take you to hunt!"
Shuangquan had a bitter face, but in fact he wanted to do it for him. But there were some things he obviously could not do for him. All he could do was to guard the side and not to throw his prince.
The aggrieved little Zhu lay on Lao Zhu's back, holding Lao Zhu's neck with both hands, and riding a big horse was not as active as before.
Old Zhu was lying happily, and he made some noise from time to time, such as shaking his body and raising his upper body. This also made Xiao Xiao Zhu quickly forget that he had just been yelled by his father and was happily playing with his grandfather.
Zhu Xiongying, who was amused and crying, saw that it was almost done and carried Xiao Xiao Zhu down, "Yin'er, your grandfather is tired too. I'll take you on a horse later."
"You are really!" Old Zhu was unhappy and was a little unhappy. "Yin'er is the most obedient on our back, you are just troublesome!"
Zhu Xiongying was so amused that he said to Shuangquan, "Give His Majesty some tea quickly and wipe off his sweat."
No matter what, Lao Zhu hugged Xiao Xiao Zhu from Zhu Xiongying's arms, "Yin'er, do you like your father the most, or do you like your grandfather the best?"
Zhu Wenyin was very powerful and hugged Lao Zhu's neck and said loudly, "I just like Grandfather!"
Lao Zhu is so relieved that he used to think that his grandson was considerate and sensible, but now he feels that the great-grandson is considerate and considerate. Even if he recalls carefully, his grandson is too smart and lacks the naughtyness of children. But it doesn’t matter. With the great-grandson, all the naughty and lively children should have been made up for.
Zhu Xiongying was ashamed and said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Emperor, Yin'er is ignorant. You are really, you are so old. He really wants to ride a horse, and he will be able to wait until we come back. If it really doesn't work, find a guard or eunuch."
Old Zhu hugged Xiao Xiao Zhu proudly and said, "What's wrong? Let's tell you that ordinary people are looking for elders to ride horses. We are the emperor and Yin'er's grandfather. In other words, you are ignorant. If you were joking about riding horses before, we would be happy. We used to think about riding horses for our descendants, and each one of them would be successful!"
I don’t know what to say to Zhu Xiongying. Among Lao Zhu’s descendants, Da Zhu and his brothers grew up in front of Queen Ma and became closer to Lao Zhu. But in those years, Lao Zhu was fighting outside. When the world was settled and Lao Zhu became the emperor, who would dare to act wildly in front of him?
As for the other smaller offspring, Lao Zhu treats them well and can remember their names, but if you really want to say how close Lao Zhu is to them, Lao Zhu himself doesn't believe it. Those offspring dare not act too coquettishly in front of Lao Zhu.
When it comes to grandchildren, Lao Zhu only saw Zhu Xiongying from the beginning, and Zhu Xiongying was another monster.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it is a relative of the generations now. Lao Zhu completely released his warmth here in Xiao Xiao Zhu. With such a naughty great-grandson, Lao Zhu felt that it was better than anything else. Not to mention riding a horse, the great-grandson wanted to want the moon in the sky, and Lao Zhu also wanted someone to find a way to pick it off.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xiongying poured Lao Zhu a cup of tea, "There are all messes in and out of the palace these days, and everything else is said outside."
"I know, everyone says we're already smelly." Old Zhu laughed and said to Zhu Xiongying, "We're the same as Emperor Qin, and we can't even get buried if we die. We're not afraid. If our grandson ascends the throne, we won't have to do anything."
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "What is the idea of Grandpa Emperor? Have you seen some ghosts and monsters?"
Old Zhu thought about it carefully and said to Zhu Xiongying, "I can't see it now. I'm waiting for you to ascend the throne. I guess some of your royal uncles may be restless. Ying'er, you have to promise us that even if your royal uncle is not good, you should be more tolerant of them."
Zhu Xiongying smiled and rubbed Lao Zhu's shoulders and said, "Grandpa Emperor can naturally rest assured. As long as the emperor's uncles do not rebel, they will not cause resentment from heaven and others. The grandson will not deliberately force the emperor's uncles to rebel, nor will they deliberately trip them up."
Lao Zhu was quite relieved about Zhu Xiongying's answer. He believed that his grandson would not deceive him.
As for some of his offspring, Lao Zhu can also see that. Those people may not dare to rebel, but those people may do things as elders to disgust people. By that time, Zhu Xiongying, the nephew, will be more difficult to deal with these people.
Xiao Xiao Zhu couldn't rest at this time, and his two small fists were punching Lao Zhu's back. Zhu Xiongying was disgusted by this. Although his massage skills were better, Lao Zhu obviously didn't care about those things. He just enjoyed the filial piety of his great-grandson and the intimacy of his great-grandson.
With great-grandson, grandson obviously is not so valued, not to mention that human cubs are always so cute and likable!
