Chapter 25 Changing customs is not easy

It can be said that Zhu Xiongying is relatively clear about Lao Zhu's mentality.

Among all the civil and military officials and distinguished ministers, Lao Zhu has more of a king's mentality. Even for other children, Lao Zhu will not be a kind father many times.

In fact, Lao Zhu is really kind to his children. He is afraid that his children will suffer hardship, so he works hard to provide them with a better life, and even thinks about future generations.

It's just that Lao Zhu may not have thought that the Zhu family clan would almost completely crush the Ming Dynasty's finances.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say anything during this time, because it would be useless if he did. It would only make Lao Zhu angry. He could behave like a rogue and naughty grandson in front of Lao Zhu, but there were some things Zhu Xiongying would not do.

In front of Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, Lao Zhu is not just an emperor. It is true that he has the status of emperor, but Lao Zhu is more of a father and grandfather. He wants to leave all the best to his legitimate sons and grandsons, but he doesn't care.

Seizing class and seizing power and so on.

Lao Zhu often felt quite comfortable hearing Zhu Xiongying's "rebellious and unethical" words, because his grandson was close to him so he would not hide them.

This can be considered to be confident, so Zhu Xiongying is becoming more and more "arrogant" now. Lao Zhu and Da Zhu have adopted a default attitude towards some things, and they know that Zhu Xiongying knows what he knows.

For example, they heard Zhu Xiongying's invitation again and planned to leave the palace again. The reason was to see some important institutions in Yingtian Mansion. This reason made Lao Zhu and Da Zhu feel it was necessary, so they approved it.

After all, the emperor's grandson's departure from the palace requires their approval. The most important thing is that the emperor's grandson's departure from the palace, ceremonials, and safety need to be carefully mentioned, and they need to make arrangements.

"Brother Emperor, we have to leave the palace too!"

"Brother Imperial, I must be obedient, can you just take me out of the palace?"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue were tugging on Zhu Xiongying's sleeves and acting coquettishly, while Zhu Yunxi just grinned beside him. The meaning of the silly boy holding the puppy was very obvious, and he obviously wanted to go out of the palace with him.

Zhu Xiongying held it and sat crookedly on the chair, "Is this difficult to handle? The emperor will leave the palace tomorrow for business, so it will be inconvenient to take you with him."

Zhu Xi squeezed Zhu Xiongying's shoulders and said, "Brother Emperor, I am not a child anymore! You will probably just look around tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if you take me with you!"

"That's right, brother emperor, what can you do!" Zhu Yue was not to be outdone and threatened, "If you don't take me out of the palace tomorrow, I will definitely bother you every day!"

Zhu Xiongying had a straight face and slapped the armrest, "How dare you talk to your royal brother like this?!"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue were not afraid. They just looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile, and they were confident. As for Zhu Yunxi, they were a little scared. Although the emperor brother didn't deal with the imperial sisters, he did not deal with him less.

Forget it, Zhu Xiongying should find a way to go up by himself, "Third brother, go ask the second brother. If he wants to leave the palace, go with him."

Seeing Zhu Yunxi running away, Zhu Xi pouted and said, "Brother Huang, why bother calling him? Madam Lu will definitely not let him go out with us, just like Brother Huang will harm him."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Xiongying touched Zhu Xi's head and said with a smile, "By the way, could it be that Mr. Lu is not treating you well?"

Zhu Yue immediately said, "Then she doesn't dare, but Yue'er is not stupid. She teaches the second child behind our backs all day long, and presses the second child to study and go to school all day long. Our third child spends the most time eating, drinking and having fun.

good."

Zhu Xi also followed up and said, "That is, the third child pretends to be refined and studious all day long, but if you ask me, he is just an empty air. He is soft-hearted and has no independent opinions. He is a polite and virtuous corporal. He is diligent and studious. He is all the same. When it comes to filial piety and tolerance.

Ren, I don’t think so!”

"Don't talk nonsense, the third child is pretty good." Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to the two sisters, "Father is not happy to hear this."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue immediately shrank their necks and said nothing, but it did not affect their dislike of Zhu Yunwen at all. The closest thing to them was the reliable imperial brother, and they usually had to take care of their younger brother Zhu Yunxi who was playing silly games all day long.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and didn't say much. Zhu Xiongying naturally had some opinions about Zhu Yunwen. But it was certain that as long as he was still alive, Zhu Yunwen could not be the future Emperor Jianwen.

As for Zhu Yunwen, he seems to be filial and tolerant, but what he did after he came to the throne is not to be considered to be tolerant.

Even if the vassal king is so powerful that he has trouble sleeping and eating, this guy's methods of undermining the vassal are so ruthless. The vassal king who was forced to commit suicide and the prince who was imprisoned by Fengyang High Wall were many.

This was an emperor who was deceived by some idealists and couldn't control the situation at all. He didn't know who he was, and he didn't have an opinion. As a result, his fourth uncle Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts were unknown, and his children were either killed.

Or be imprisoned.

We can't let Zhu Yunwen take the throne, otherwise, the lineage of Prince Zhu Biao will be extinct. I don't know if it is Zhu Yunwen's own heir or Zhu Yunxi. Zhu Di imprisoned Fengyang High Wall for decades. When he came out, he couldn't even tell the difference between an ox and a horse.

clear.

Zhu Yunxi ran back in a hurry. Zhu Yunwen would definitely not follow him out of the palace, and no one thought there was anything good about it. This is normal.

Brothers Chang Mao and Chang Sen haven't done much recently. They just wait in the mansion all day, because the emperor's grandson leaves the palace, and they are bound to follow him.

The same is true for Fu Rang and Feng Cheng. They seem to be being trained as Taisun's team. This seems to give them a head start and become Taisun's confidants.

It's just that it's hard to say whether they can gain a firm foothold and gain the true trust of the grandson. It's also hard to say whether they can truly become some top nobles with great power based on the support of the grandson.

There is no guard of honor, but there are already Jin Yiwei, Yulinwei, Huben, etc. waiting at the Meridian Gate.

Wang Chengen was cautious and had already sent someone to communicate with Chang Mao. His grandson was going to Longjiang Shipyard today and needed to prepare in advance.

Who knows that Chang Mao is Taisun's second uncle, so Feng Cheng and Fu Rang are just listening at this time. Especially Feng Cheng, who was beaten by Taisun just a few days ago, is still nervous now, even if he will do it in the future

Maybe Chengjue, but now I don’t dare to raise my tail and put on airs.

Zhu Xi was a little unhappy and complained to Zhu Xiongying, "Okay, I have to go to some shipyard, where is there anything good to see?!"

"That's right!" Zhu Yue was also denouncing, "Sister Huang and I finally got out of the palace, but you have to go to the shipyard!"

Looking at his two sisters, Zhu Xiongying gritted his teeth and said, "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place. I shouldn't have stopped you when you bound your feet!"

Foot binding has some history. It is said that it existed in the Northern Song Dynasty and became more prosperous in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, they did not prohibit it.

Especially during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolians did not originally bind their feet, but they did not object to the habit of foot-binding. On the contrary, they admired it. This also allowed the foot-binding trend to continue to develop in the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the concept of being ashamed of not binding feet emerged.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue were not angry and a little worried, "But people outside say that it is not good to have your feet bound. I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. It just hurts."

"Has the imperial grandmother's feet been bound?" Zhu Xiongying immediately interrupted and said with great certainty, "Have the two aunts bound their feet? Remember it for me. What is good is good, but what is bad is bad. I don't know how to do it now.

It’s a good order to ban it. But if we start to discourage foot binding, these bad habits should disappear in the future!”

Some customs cannot be changed overnight, especially when some corrupt literati add fuel to the flames and make many people flock to foot binding.

Things like changing customs are really not that easy. Sometimes it doesn't mean that a decree will change everyone's ideas. It takes a relatively long time to slowly change some opinions.

Let’s go to the shipyard first. Although Lao Zhu has now issued a sea ban, it does not mean that there are no shipyards in Ming Dynasty.

Longjiang Shipyard can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, when it was called Longwandu Shipyard. Today's Longjiang Shipyard is also the most advanced shipyard in the Ming Dynasty, and the ships it builds are not bad.

Zhu Xiongying still needs to go see it. Sea ban is definitely impossible!
