Chapter 5 Filial Piety

After all, he felt sorry for his son. Seeing Zhu Biao finish handling the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Biao'er, we don't let you establish a crown princess now, can you blame us?"

Zhu Biao stood up and said respectfully, "Father, I know this well. With Chang's new arrival, I have no intention of establishing a crown princess."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then said, "You have also seen our "Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming", "Establish a long and direct line."

"Father, Ying'er's name should also be changed." Zhu Biao remembered something and said, "When Ying'er was born, Huang Ming's ancestral precepts were already written."

"Ancestral Instructions of the Emperor Ming" is a classic compiled under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang. The content is the instructions for his descendants in order to consolidate Zhu Ming's imperial power. It was originally named "Ancestor's Instructions" and was first compiled in the second year of Hongwu. It was written in six years and completed in the ninth year.

Also revised.

This also includes some requirements for the naming of the Zhu family. In the East Palace and the prince's throne, each has a twenty-character name, named according to the generation. And it must be a double character, and the last character must be made of five elements as a radical, according to "fire"

, earth, metal, water and wood in order.

According to Zhu Xiongying's generation, and according to Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements, it should be Zhu YunX, and this 'X' must be next to the character for fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Forget it Ying'er, our ancestral precepts had not yet been written down at that time."

"The father, the sons and ministers, and the younger brothers are all named according to the ancestral teachings." Zhu Biao looked serious. He was a Confucian disciple in the eyes of some people. "Ying'er is the great grandson. If the father and the sons and ministers are both

If we can’t make a good start, how will the Ming Dynasty be passed down in the future?!”

Although he was contradicted by his son, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very happy. It was a fact that he favored his eldest son and doted on his eldest grandson. But seeing that his eldest son, who had high hopes for him, was so sensible, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Is Yunxi okay?"

Zhu Yunxi, this is Zhu Xiongying's younger brother. Now he is raised by his concubine Lu.

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Fortunately, Ying'er has to go see her younger brothers and sisters all day long. I would like to say that Erchen is more caring than Erchen, for fear that Mrs. Lu will not be able to give her best."

While the father and son were still chatting, a young eunuch cautiously reported, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Grand Sun are here."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, as his eldest grandson usually would not come to Fengtian Palace.

"I guess there must be something serious." Zhu Biao laughed and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "I guess it was because the queen mother didn't agree, so he came to ask the father."

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he was overjoyed and said, "Biao'er, go deliver the message. I want to see what's going on with him!"

Zhu Biao waved his hand, and the young eunuch immediately took a few steps back, then turned around and went to invite His Highness the Grand Sun.

"I can walk by myself!" Zhu Xiongying was impatient and climbed up while holding on to the high threshold, "I don't need your help!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao smiled as they watched the little man climb over the threshold of the main hall. Zhu Xiongying was sensible and reasonable. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he did not look like a dandy at all.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The villain lay down on the ground and said in a milky voice, "Sun Chen has a script to start the memorial!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, but he pretended to be dignified, "Oh, it's the grandson! Grandson, what are you playing?"

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth and said immediately, "Sun Chen heard that the imperial mausoleum was completed, and Sun Chen asked for an order to worship the mausoleum."

At this time, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned. No wonder Taisun came to Fengtian Palace. The Queen really had no way to make the decision in such a matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at his son, "You have been in charge of politics for so long, you should handle such things!"

Zhu Biao did not hesitate, looked at Zhu Xiongying and asked, "Ying'er, why do you want to go to the mausoleum?"

"Sun Chen is the eldest grandson of His Majesty the Emperor, so he should be worshiped in the mausoleum!" Zhu Xiongying said, naturally, "Since Sun Chen is a descendant of the Zhu family, he should be worshiped in the mausoleum!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said quickly, "Ying'er, in some time, when you grow up, we will take you to the mausoleum."

Zhu Biao also said, "Ying'er, you are young now. When you grow up, you will naturally want to pay homage to the mausoleum and pay homage to your ancestors."

"Yes, yes, right now, just worship your ancestors in the Fengxian Hall." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "When you grow up, take your brothers to the mausoleum to make the ancestors happy. If you don't go now, the ancestors will

happy."

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Grandpa Huang, the imperial mausoleum has been completed. If Sun Chen doesn't go,"

"If the prince goes, your father and your imperial uncles can go." Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Ying'er, you are in the imperial city, worshiping your ancestors in Fengxian Hall!"

After finally sending Zhu Xiongying away, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, don't teach your grandson the tricks of a Confucian scholar!"

Zhu Biao laughed and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, my son understands. My son learns Confucianism, but he is not a Confucian minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this answer, but he immediately became suspicious, "We still have to check whether anyone talks too much in front of our great-grandson!"

Zhu Xiongying walked slowly towards Kunning Palace. There was no maid. The eunuch said that he would hold him and lead him, and he did not dare to mention things like riding in a sedan chair.

Generally, Taisun would walk by himself if the distance was not far. Even if it was a little further, Taisun would choose to take a rest when he was tired from walking. Basically, he would not need help from others.

As soon as Zhu Xiongying returned to Kunning Palace, Queen Ma laughed and said, "Ying'er, did your imperial grandfather promise you?"

Seeing her eldest grandson shaking his head with a grimace, Empress Ma smiled even more happily. This good grandson was sensible, intelligent, and extremely filial. Empress Ma was very happy to have such a good grandson by her side. She was reluctant to let her eldest grandson return to his hometown in Fengyang to pay homage to the mausoleum.

.

"Royal Grandmother, tell your grandson what happened in the past." Zhu Xiongying slowly sat down on the stool and said to Queen Ma who was busy doing needlework.

Glancing at her eldest grandson, Empress Ma asked with a smile, "What do you want to know today? Do you want to hear about your imperial grandfather's plan to conquer Dingyuan, or to conquer the world?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and then said, "Grandma Huang, where is Xinfengli? Sun Chen looked at the map yesterday and couldn't find it!"

Empress Ma immediately became interested. Xinfengli was her hometown. Although she had told her grandson many times, whenever her grandson mentioned these things, Empress Ma would always take the trouble to talk about them again and again.

After having lunch with Queen Ma, Zhu Xiongying was going to school again. He was not Song Lian, but he was also a famous Confucian scholar.

Zhu Xiongying, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said with a straight face, "If anyone dares to tell the Queen about what I did today, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Yu'er's expression was stunned, and then she said softly, "Grandson, your empress."

"I don't want the Queen's grandmother to be happy in vain. I know it. Just know it, but don't tell the Queen's grandmother!" Zhu Xiongying said firmly and directly ordered, "Whoever is from the pro-military Duwei Mansion, come here quickly!"

A guard came over quickly. Although the grandson was young and they would not immediately carry out his orders, it did not affect their serious obedience. At most, they would turn around and immediately report to the emperor and the prince.

After Mao Xiang heard the report, he immediately hurried to Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned for a moment. This Mao Xiang has a big role. If he comes here now, is there something big going on?

"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Mao Xiang knelt down as soon as he entered the palace, "My grandson has just given me an errand for me. It's just a matter that concerns Your Highness the Queen. Grandson, I don't dare to make the decision."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and then asked seriously, "Great Sun? What is your grandson's purpose?"

"The grandson has issued an order, and the subordinates are ordered to go to Xinfengli, Guide Mansion." Mao Xiang put his forehead to the ground, looking cautious.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned, but they immediately realized that this was the Queen's hometown.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said to Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, grandson, why is this?"

"Call him over and ask." Zhu Biao looked serious and said to the young eunuch next to him, "Call everyone around the grandson and go quickly!"

Zhu Xiongying, who was still in class, received the imperial edict and immediately went to Fengtian Temple.

It was easy for me to be a child. In order to please the queen and the emperor, I had to work hard to perform these things!

"Grandson, why did you go to Xinfengli to look for someone?" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously with a straight face, "Did you know that your imperial grandmother had a decree that you were not allowed to look for people from her clan to share titles and honors?"

Zhu Xiongying was not afraid, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Even if I disobey the order, Sun Chen will still go to find it! The emperor's grandmother is very happy every time she talks about her hometown, and she sheds tears when she talks about her grandfather. I disobey the order today, and at worst I will be killed by the emperor."

When grandma scolds me, the imperial grandmother is happy in her heart! As long as the imperial grandmother is happy, that’s fine!”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face, "If you care about the head and not the tail, your imperial grandmother must know about it with such a big fanfare! Do you really think that you are the only one who cares about your imperial grandmother? Your imperial grandfather doesn't know that he loves your imperial grandmother! We don't know how to care about your imperial grandmother!

I looked for it but couldn’t find it!”

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Ying'er, my father also sent people to look for his mother's relatives, but he never found them."

"That's because the Imperial Grandmother knew that you were going to look for someone!" Zhu Xiongying said proudly, "I have asked many times, and the Imperial Grandmother was very detailed. I know where to find the Imperial Grandmother's family."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other. In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, the queen was indeed unwilling to grant rewards to her descendants, so the queen might know some things.

Could it be that this little thing in front of me really obtained important information from the Queen?

While the grandfather and grandson were discussing together, a eunuch sang, "Her Royal Highness the Queen has arrived!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately read the memorial, and Zhu Biao hurriedly picked up his writing brush and also reviewed the memorial.

It's done, I'm done!

Empress Ma was dressed in court uniform, extremely solemn and formal. She glanced at her husband who was pretending to read the memorial, her son who was peeking at it from time to time, and her grandson who was grabbing the memorial to cover his face. She felt indescribably happy in her heart.

happiness.

"Do you know that it is against the law for the emperor and the prince to prefer the family of their relatives when they are given titles and titles?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up quickly and said, "I know, I know, sister, don't be angry!"

"Ying'er, you should go to school at this time!" Looking at her fat grandson who was still pretending to read the memorial, Empress Ma was angry and funny, "Tell me, why are you here?"

Zhu Xiongying reacted immediately and was extremely honest, "Grandma Imperial, Grandpa Imperial has issued an imperial edict, and Sun Chen obeys it."

Zhu Yuanzhang refused and let his grandson take the blame, "Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He is just tired of studying. We feel sorry for our great grandson, so we will allow him to take a rest for half a day."

Um?

There are those who cheat on grandpas, and there are also those who cheat on grandsons!

Zhu Biao looked distressed and said, "Mother and queen, son and minister."

"My grandson is still considerate." Empress Ma picked up Zhu Xiongying and said immediately, "But grandson, please remember. Your imperial grandfather was the emperor's son tomorrow, and your father was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty! You are my grandson, and also Zhu Xiongying."

Ming Taisun! No matter how considerate you are, you must be ruthless! Remember the laws of the country!"
