Chapter 492
: Killing Ma Su
Lao Zhu and Xiao Xiao Zhu returned to Fengyang’s hometown to worship their ancestors, which did not make Zhu Yunyou feel disappointed. He didn’t need to be surprised. Lao Zhu brought Xiao Xiao Zhu, so there was no problem. Lao Zhu could arrange everything.
For Zhu Yunyou, he had to do a lot of things during this period, and he had to do his duty as an emperor.
In fact, all civil and military officials still have some opinions about the Supreme Emperor taking the Crown Prince away from Yingtian Mansion.
In their opinion, the Supreme Emperor is old, and if the Supreme Emperor gave up his job on the way, it would be a big trouble. Moreover, the crown prince had been enthroned long ago, and there is no major event in the national dynasty now. I really don’t need the crown prince to return to Fengyang to worship his ancestors.
These two people have special identities, so it would be bad if there was something unexpected. Although the emperor is in power today, there is no need to worry about the turmoil in the world, it is just that any of these two people have an accident, and many people will probably not be at ease.
But there was no way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too tough. Although the Tian family had no family affairs, it was just that the emperor insisted, and no one else could do it.
It is impossible for the ministers to undermine the emperor. At least in the short term, don’t worry about such a thing happening.
After going to court, Kaiping Duke Chang Mao was summoned to Wuying Hall, and it seems that the emperor has given some explanation.
Seeing Chang Mao coming, Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "Uncle, is it still safe in the house?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, everything is fine in the house." Chang Mao was happy, but he was still very respectful. "It was just a few days ago that the boys at home started to make trouble and were in peace."
Zhu Yunyou couldn't help but feel happy. There are many little boys in Kaiping Palace now, all of them are boys.
Although Chang Mao had nowhere to go in the early years, Chang Lan couldn't sleep all night, for fear that her eldest son would not have any children. She even complained about Chang Yuchun, who had passed away long ago, and felt that Chang Yuchun must have killed prisoners and damaged his good deeds, which led to the three sons of the Chang family who had not had a single child.
Fortunately, Chang Lan had no regrets. Even though he was very old at that time, Chang Mao could even be considered to have children at the middle age. But after all, he had children, and Chang Lan also hugged his grandson before leaving the world.
Chang Mao, Chang Sen, Chang Sheng, these children have been one after another. Lan Yu, who has been away for many years, was once raised in the Kaiping Palace, and this is also a worry-free naughty child.
"Speaking of this, Yin'er returned to her hometown and the palace became much more peaceful." Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "As long as he is in the palace, he will not be able to have a moment of peace. Relying on the doting of the emperor's grandfather, the child has also developed a domineering temperament and has been in chaos all day long. Ji'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he rushes around all day long."
Chang Mao just listened, and Chang Mao naturally cared about Zhu Yunyou's descendants. But after all, he was Zhu Yunyou's uncle, not Xiaoxiao Zhu's uncle, and it was not his turn to Chang Mao to care about so much.
As for Zhu Wenji, it is even more worth mentioning. Although he is a prince, everyone knows what the emperor's second son is. The birth of a concubine determines that he is a prince if nothing unexpected happens. Although he is extremely rich, no one of the martial arts masters wants to serve. It is justified that he follows the crown prince.
Chang Mao actually understood that the emperor summoned him over, obviously he would not just come to talk about family matters.
Even though he was the emperor's uncle, he was very close to the emperor. However, Chang Mao actually knew what the emperor's character was.
I just want to talk about family matters first. After all, Chang Mao has a different identity, so he can't treat Chang Mao like other ministers. What's more, even if he is a minister who has made meritorious, Zhu Yunyou can be more patient to show his affection.
After the simple family conversation, Zhu Yunyou asked with a smile, "Uncle, are you still familiar with Huining Hou Zhang Wen?"
Chang Mao said without any hesitation, "I know a little. In the past, Hou Huining crossed the river with the Supreme Emperor and granted thousands of households. He took over the Central Plains from the army, conquered Shaanxi and Clanzhou. Especially when he defended Lanzhou, he made great contributions, and the Supreme Emperor also called it a great contribution, so he was promoted to the Assistant General of the Grand Commander's Office."
Zhu Yunyou nodded with a smile. There were many capable ministers and generals at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Being able to fight on the battlefield with Lao Zhu and survive until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty was not something that ordinary people could do. They had to have some real skills.
Chang Mao said, while carefully observing Zhu Yunyou's face. Chang Mao naturally knew what his emperor's nephew had.
Chang Mao knew that his emperor's nephew was premature, so of course he knew that his emperor's nephew was very scheming when he was young, and ordinary people really couldn't understand his thoughts.
Moreover, when the emperor's nephew seemed kind, he might have murderous intentions. While the emperor's nephew was talking generously, he had already planned how to send some people to him. He was not ruthless and had no hesitation.
Sometimes Chang Mao also felt that this emperor's nephew was the same as the prince's brother-in-law back then. It was just that the prince's brother-in-law was known for being kind, so there were people outside who didn't know the truth and thought that the prince's brother-in-law was a generous person. And the emperor's nephew suffered a loss, and he was a good martial arts job in the early years, and he was raised by the emperor.
It is precisely because of these reasons that many people think that the current Emperor Yingxiong is a continuation of Emperor Hongwu, but it is just a little more polite than Emperor Hongwu.
Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "This Zhang Wen is really a meritorious person. We heard that he also followed Dingyuan Hou to challenge the Western Qiang."
Chang Mao understood suddenly and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although Huining Hou had followed Dingyuan Hou to fight against the Western Qiang in his early years, he was mostly the deputy general of Duke Ying. When he attacked Shu, he followed Duke Ying. In the 14th year of Hongwu, he also followed Duke Ying. However, when the Marquis of the Supreme Haixi Hou Naha came out in the 20th year of Hongwu, he followed Duke Song."
Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, was Chang Mao's father-in-law. But Feng Sheng looked down on Chang Mao, and the grudges between these two were once laughing and crying.
When he was attacking Naha, Chang Mao slashed Naha at the banquet where Naha surrendered, which also made Feng Sheng and Chang Mao shirke each other. This is also the reason why Chang Mao was not valued. He is indeed a bit arrogant and domineering.
The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law once dropped to freezing point, that is, Zhu Yunyou was "generous" and adopted Chang Mao's second son to Feng Sheng, which made Feng Sheng "recognize" Chang Mao's son-in-law again.
From Zhu Yunyou's tone, he could hear some dissatisfaction with Zhang Wen. Chang Mao immediately thought about shirk responsibility and distance himself from him. He was actually quite at ease. If it were someone else, it might be okay to say, but Zhang Wen was really not Changshi.
Although Zhang Wen once followed Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi to attack the Western Qiang, Zhang Wen also had a lot of contact with Fu Youde. When Feng Sheng was idle by the Supreme Emperor, Zhang Wen had already gone to follow Fu Youde, who was more and more reused.
That little bit of incense has long been cut off, so if the emperor dealt with Zhang Wen now, Chang Mao would not think about protecting others, and there was no need to think about it.
What's more, as the emperor's uncle, if Zhang Wen really dissatisfied the emperor, even if Chang Shi's confidant, Chang Mao could "kill Ma Su".
Zhu Yunyou nodded with a smile and said, "Since this is the best, my uncle doesn't have to make things difficult for him. Zhang Wen didn't expect that he would be confused when he was old. This fierce general on the battlefield is old."
In history, Zhang Wen was involved in the Lan Yu case and was sentenced to death. However, he is already old and lives tenaciously. However, this person is not only old but also a disciple in the mansion is even more domineering, which makes Zhu Yunyou have an idea.
Zhu Yunyou did not hide it, saying, "I'm afraid my uncle doesn't know that the court has forgiven the veterans, and Zhang Wen also gave him many rewards. However, his living room is mostly used for the most vassals."
This crime is actually not small. In the Ming Dynasty, which is increasingly ruled and has strict etiquette, Zhang Wen committed a lot of crimes.
Back then, Zhu Yunyou's second uncle's favorite concubine dared to use the queen's clothes, but Lao Zhu rebuked Zhu Xi for being "unruly and rude, and was extremely guilty". He also sentenced Deng to death, without giving Deng Yu a face at all. It can even be said that Deng was completely slapped Deng Yu in the face, and his eldest daughter was given to the King of Qin as a concubine, and was still under the Mongolian female Guanyin slave.
On the one hand, Emperor Hongwu did not pay attention to etiquette, but on the other hand, he cared about it. For ordinary ministers, no matter whether they were military honors or civil officials, they would not be able to hold any sand in their eyes. However, for his own children, Lao Zhu was very kind.
Chang Mao knew that Zhang Wen might be in trouble. Today's emperors don't seem to care much about the ritual system, but some places are very concerned about it.
At the beginning of the dynasty, when the ritual system was incomplete, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty could not tolerate the affairs of the emperor from time to time, not to mention that the ritual system has been improved now.
The Supreme Emperor made the prince and the prince's clothing of the average grade, but the crown prince strongly opposed it and reduced the "treatment" of the princes. He was so strict with his uncles, not to mention that he is just a martial arts honor now.
Zhu Yunyou seemed quite helpless and said to Chang Mao, "I think my uncle knows that nobles have always been corrupt the fastest and become more domineering. In recent years, we have punished some unlawful nobles, but there are still people who have committed troubles repeatedly."
Chang Mao had a say in this. Drinking in his army is a trivial matter. His uncle Lan Yu was a trivial matter in seizing the Mintian area. When he got drunk, he even dared to attack the Ming Dynasty. Wu Xun's domineering arrogance can be seen.
These people are just fearless, either they are rough people, or rely on the contributions of their fathers and grandparents, or they feel that they have made great contributions and are fearless.
Now Zhang Wen may become the next unlucky martial arts honor and the target of being shown to the emperor in the UK.
Thinking of this, Chang Mao also felt that Zhang Wen was a suitable target to kill the chicken and scare the monkey, which was really suitable.
