Chapter 356 Public and Private

Zhu Yunyou was in a good mood, probably because he was more confident about some things and was not worried about some things being beyond control.

Needless to say, Wuxun Group is basically on the same boat as the Zhu family, and Zhu Yunyou is the perfect captain.

As for the civil servant group, it is not the Song Dynasty, nor the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history. Although the status of literati has been improved, such improvement is relatively limited. Fighting against the imperial power, the civil servants are still almost in a state of great influence.

As for the aristocratic families, Wu Zetian has been constantly weakening the aristocratic families since history. After five generations and ten countries, the Khitans, Jurchens and Mongols over and over again, the strength of the aristocratic families was greatly weakened.

Although there are indeed some famous families nowadays, these people still don’t think they have changed the court situation.

Let’s not talk about Zhu Yunyou’s own prestige for now. Considering that Lao Zhu is still in charge, the others are enough to be scared.

Zhu Yunyou, who was leaving with his sleeves, left Fengtian Palace and asked Wang Chengen to go to Fengxian Palace to pass the imperial edict. After a lot of trouble, the palace was not at peace. Now everyone can return to their respective bedrooms. This drama will be paused for the first time.

As for Zhu Yunyou, he naturally went straight to Qianqing Palace. Those who didn't know thought that the emperor was going to apologize.

In the Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu was in a good mood. "This is a willow tree. The plan for this year is spring, and the willow tree is the first to grow buds."

Xiao Xiao Zhu didn't believe it and said, "Great-Grandfather, there are many green leaves, and I still have plum blossoms."

Lao Zhu began to teach patiently that the plum blossoms bloom in winter. Some trees and some flowers were green all year round. The fallen leaves like willow trees are different. They sprout in spring, and the leaves turn yellow and fall in autumn. Look at them again in winter, which is the bare trunks and branches.

Seeing Zhu Yunyou coming, Xiaoxiao Zhu ran over cheering, and Zhu Yunyou cheered Xiaoxiao Zhu happily.

"It's worthy of being our son!" Zhu Yunyou said happily after picking up Xiao Xiao Zhu and lifting him up.

Xiao Xiao Zhu was also very happy, hugged Zhu Yunyou and said, "Dad, I'll sit on my shoulders!"

Without saying anything, Zhu Yunyou exerted force gently. Xiaoxiao Zhu sat skillfully on Zhu Yunyou's shoulder, holding Zhu Yunyou's head with both hands, smiling very happy.

Lao Zhu also looked at him happily. Not to mention that Xiao Xiao Zhu was sitting on his shoulder, Lao Zhu often asked Xiao Xiao Zhu to sit on his back.

This treatment was something Lao Zhu had been looking forward to for a long time because his grandson was too sensible. Lao Zhu used to want to carry his grandson as a cow and horse, but there were few opportunities like this. Occasionally, he and Queen Ma were basically coaxing Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu reluctantly sat on Lao Zhu's back and asked Lao Zhu to climb on the couch for two laps.

At this point, Xiao Zhu still had to feel sorry for his emperor grandfather and couldn't bear to climb a few more laps. Lao Zhu was relieved and was heartbroken. His grandson was too sensible and filial, which was naturally a good thing. But sometimes, the fun of playing with his grandchildren was lacking.

Fortunately, my grandson is too sensible, so my great-grandson is no longer premature and is just a kid who loves to make trouble.

Of course, Lao Zhu is also very old-fashioned and very double-standard. Others cannot sit on his shoulders. In Lao Zhu's eyes, Xiao Xiao Zhu can sit on his shoulders. Even the little princess who is so spoiled by her grandson cannot sit on her.

Carrying Xiao Xiao Zhu to the bedroom, Zhu Yunyou said, "Grandpa Emperor, our Yin'er is crying so well today."

Old Zhu immediately smiled and said to Zhu Yunyou, "That's right! If our prince hadn't been sensible, you and the queen would have been scolded by us! The prince's crying would have saved you. Give you a step, and you would not hurt your face."

Zhu Yunyou was happy and said with a smile, "It's better what Grandpa Emperor taught. Our prince can help us deal with the affairs in the court. In a few years, when Grandpa Emperor and Yin'er continue to help us, it's easier for us to do things."

Looking at Xiao Xiao Zhu holding the fruit and stuffing it into her mouth, Old Zhu smiled, "Sure, let's live a few more years. If we live to eighty, we will see Yin'er helping you manage the government."

"Eighty?" Zhu Yunyou smiled and objected, "That's not possible. At least it must be eighty-five, so that we can help us. We don't want us. We can do a lot of things under ten years old. We are probably naughty when we are ten years old."

Xiao Xiao Zhu didn't think this was criticism, and she smiled at Lao Zhu with a fat face.

"We think it's good that you're going to lose your temper today. You and your father are too soft-hearted." Old Zhu smiled and praised Zhu Yunyou, "You are the emperor, you have to be kind and do good. You have to make them afraid of you, but you can't be respectful to you, and you have to make those people afraid of you. In this way, you will be able to do things in the future. Look at us, how dare they not listen to our words?"

Zhu Yunyou was happy and corrected, "Grandpa Emperor, our father and we are not weak-hearted. We remember that when we criticized the winners, our father's outline was very easy. Those families either went to prison or went to the court."

"It's still kind, it's better to be domineering!" Lao Zhu laughed, but he was just joking before, "You are pretty good like this. We are a domineering emperor. I guess someone will say that we are a tyrant. If you are a little kind, the people below will praise you. We are just like this, one is cruel and the other is kind."

Zhu Yunyou nodded happily because it seems like this is the combination now. Old Zhu was cruel and Da Zhu was arbitrary. But now, although Lao Zhu is a little "kind", it is relatively limited. Therefore, Zhu Yunyou is a little stricter than Da Zhu, but once he is compared with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunyou will be a benevolent king.

Xiaoxiao Zhu sat obediently on Xiaozhou's shoulder. Although he couldn't understand what his father and grandfather were saying, it didn't prevent Xiaoxiao Zhu from getting along with him and listening to some things.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. These are two generations of emperors who are educating the future emperors. They want to be interested in some things and make this little guy begin to understand some truths at a young age.

Lao Zhu smiled and handed the fruit plate to Xiao Xiaozhu again, and Xiao Xiaozhu felt very safe. He didn't need to support his father, and he was catching the fruit while eating it. This is Xiao Xiaozhu's courage, and this is the demeanor of the crown prince.

"The reason why my grandson is that those literati don't know anything and always want to limit the imperial power." Zhu Yunyou spoke and said to Lao Zhu, "This time we are not going to kill anyone, we just give them a warning."

Lao Zhu nodded and then said, "In our opinion, your mind is not just about these. The treasury and the treasury have really been unclear over the years. You either want to make a clear distinction or you want to take them back."

"It's not necessary to take it back. The treasury has always been under our control." Zhu Yunyou said proudly, "My grandson just can't stand those people's viewing the treasury too tightly. Before the Ming Dynasty, we had a weak foundation and should reserve some supplies. But some things are not just hidden, but they should also come in handy."

Lao Zhu actually did not agree with Xiao Zhu's statement. In Lao Zhu's view, if there is money, food, cloth, etc. in the treasury, he feels at ease. In his opinion, the more things the better, it is best to just enter and not leave, that is peace in the world.

However, Lao Zhu did not object. The one sitting on the dragon throne is his grandson, who is extremely proud and proud.

This has abdicated. If you point fingers all day long, it will not be conducive to grandson controlling the court. If something really happens, I will help clean up the chaos. Now, there is no need to say that. Let grandson experience it well, and he also thinks that he can live a few more years and can protect his grandson.

"Actually, the treasury, with our nature, is no different from the treasury." Zhu Yunyou laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "And our fathers are all the same. We are not willing to spend money and are not too particular about food and drink."

"Your father is fine. You don't seem to be particular, but you are more picky than anyone else when you have to be particular." Lao Zhu said with a smile, "At the same time, no matter how unqualified we are, it is much better than ordinary people. There are countless people who serve us in and outside the palace. The food and use of us are the best."

There is no need to say more about this, Zhu Yunyou continued, "We have made up too much money for the treasury over the years. As long as the court lacks money, we are not reluctant to let it go, and we are not using the money to build the garden. But a few days ago, we also said that we should make the royal family feel better, so the treasury cannot be confused."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked quickly, "What do you mean is that the salary of our royal family will be paid in the future?"

So far in the Ming Dynasty, the royal family's salary and so on were all responsible for the court, which means that the output was paid by the treasury and the food. The reason why Lao Zhu is so sensitive now is because Zhu Yunyou means that the treasury must be borne by the treasury.

Zhu Yunweng hurriedly said, "That won't work. We will only take some responsibility, otherwise the treasury will be empty. The emperor still has to leave some extra money. Otherwise, if something really happens, the treasury cannot transfer the money, so we still have to pay it by ourselves."

Lao Zhu felt relieved. If the royal family's salary was really borne by the treasury, it seems that there is no need to worry about being unable to bear it now. But now it is really only the treasury responsible, so the problem will be big.

For example, if there are always too many in the future, the treasury may not be able to take care of it. Furthermore, the money from the treasury is used to support the royal family, and the emperor does not even have an emergency bag, which is obviously not a good thing. Or if the treasury is really released in the future, and the treasury does not pay the money, the royal family will stare at it.

Therefore, the treasury can bear part of it, and the court also needs to bear most of it, so that the life of the royal family can be guaranteed. After all, the income of the national treasury is relatively stable, and the royal family does not need to worry about breaking it off.

As for the treasury, it is no problem to bear part of it, because the treasury can also bring enough benefits.
