It is said that hot pot existed in the Zhou Dynasty and became very common in the Song Dynasty.

And now there is no need to feel fresh. Although there is no chili pepper, there is really no shortage of chili pepper in Chinese history.

Cornus officinalis, pepper, ginger, etc. are all the main sources of spiciness, and pepper can be said to be relatively valuable and expensive in ancient times. But for the royal family, there is naturally no shortage of pepper, not to mention that there are now a large number of them in Nanyang.

of pepper delivered.

After boiling a pot of rice wine, Zhu Xiongying and his two younger brothers ate antique soup. The pork and mutton were both good.

Zhu Xiongying cooked a piece of mutton and then said to Zhu Yunwen, "Yunwen, do you know if you will go to Fengyang in a few days?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and then became a little worried, "Brother Emperor, is it too early for me to go to Zhongdu now?"

"It's getting late. Yunxi will also go to his hometown next year." Zhu Xiongying said calmly, "Now you are not young anymore. You have been living in the palace at the age of twelve. This is not convenient. Imperial uncle

We have been going to Fengyang's hometown for many years before the feudal lordship, and you should go too."

Zhu Yunwen stopped talking. This can be regarded as a tradition and some of Lao Zhu's rules.

Before the princes came of age, they naturally lived in the palace. But after the princes grew up, they basically had to go to their hometown in Fengyang to live for a period of time before becoming a feudal lord. In addition to offering sacrifices, they also worried about trouble.

It is not a good thing for too many adult princes to stay in Yingtian Mansion. Lao Zhu does not want those princes to have other ideas. He also does not want some civil and military ministers to have too many connections with some princes. This is his bottom line.

This also includes the fact that Lao Zhu has now made regulations that the vassal kings are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms unless they receive an imperial edict. Moreover, when the vassal kings come to the capital, they are not allowed to come together. There are regulations on the time of residence, basically

One of the vassal princes who stayed in the capital left, and the other one was allowed to leave for the capital.

But Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "If you really don't want to go to Zhongdu, I will find you a house in Yingtian Mansion."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, but then he became worried, "I'm afraid Grandpa Huang won't agree, and neither will my father."

"I definitely have to go to my hometown. If I come back after a period of worship, there will be no choice." Zhu Xiongying said in a calm tone, "There are a lot of uncles in my hometown. You are a grandson, and the emperor won't say much.

What."

Zhu Yunxi showed a flattering smile at this time and said, "Brother Emperor, can I also go out to live?"

"You won't be able to do anything until next year, and you won't be able to move out until you are twelve." Zhu Xiongying said to Zhu Yunxi, "Just remember it for me. Even if you are not in the imperial city, you should not do evil outside. You should go to school when you should.

, don’t go to a messy place. Otherwise, without Grandpa Huang saying anything, I will deal with you!"

No wonder I am so worried, the main reason is that there are too many lessons learned.

In the palace, those princes are naturally more honest and study when they should. But when they go out, they are the princes and nobles. How can anyone dare to say anything to them? These are the most unethical group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

.

When the prince comes of age, he must leave the palace before he becomes a vassal. In addition to going to his hometown in Fengyang for a period of time, these people also have their own palace in Yingtian Mansion and can live in the palace for a period of time.

Lao Zhu's meaning is very obvious. The prince and the emperor's grandson can always live in the palace after they reach adulthood. Other princes and grandsons cannot!

As for the lives of these princes and grandsons, of course there is no need to worry. In addition to generous salaries, these princes and grandsons will also receive some rewards, and some maids and guards will also be brought out from the palace, including some of their palace staff.

.

Zhu Yunwen will be the first grandson to move out of the palace. If nothing else happens, Zhu Yunxi will also move out next year.

After the two younger brothers left, Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and wrote a letter. Wang Chengen immediately went to find Song Zhong, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guards and was the sword in Zhu Xiongying's hand.

What should be noted is that beating is not enough. Because even if the beating is continued, some people may pretend to listen to the lesson humbly and apologize seriously, but secretly they will still do whatever they need to do.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't care about court affairs, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything.

The news coming from Japan is that the Muromachi shogunate established by Ashikaga Takauji is very powerful, and the power of Emperor Gogameyama in the Southern Dynasty is retreating steadily. Emperor Gokomatsu in the Northern Dynasty seems to be very strong, and they have a chance to realize the unification of the two dynasties.

Today's Japan is the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with two emperors, each with his own inheritance, and so-called artifacts. That is, the so-called sword, mirror, and seal. The three artifacts now are in the hands of Emperor Gogeyama of the Southern Dynasty.

This is not in Zhu Xiongying's interests. It would be better for these people to continue fighting among themselves. It seems that it is time to send someone to help a group of Southern Dynasties.

Also in need of help is Goryeo. When the Ming Dynasty defeated Nahachu a few years ago, Goryeo King Wang You wanted to take advantage of the situation and capture Liaodong. However, General Li Chenggui returned to the army on Waihua Island and forced Wang You to abdicate.

.

The current King of Goryeo is Wang Chang, Wang Yu's son, who is just a puppet.

This matter needs more fuss. Originally, Zhu Xiongying refused to give Wang Yu’s father the posthumous title Wang Zhuan. In addition, due to the issue of Tieling Guards, the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Goryeo has deteriorated.

It is also necessary to retain a reason for mobilizing troops. After all, even if the Ming Dynasty was powerful, in this era, in order to punish the people and punish the disobedient, you still need to have some "righteousness".

Just like the world police in later generations, holding out washing powder and saying it is nuclear fuel is an excuse and reason.

This is interesting. Zhu Xiongying indeed feels that this is a very interesting era.

The Japanese side was engaged in separatism, and the powerful ministers in Goryeo wanted to usurp the throne. These were troubled times.

In fact, in the Annan area, the information collected now is that the Chen family of the Annan royal family is an extinct heir, which makes Zhu Xiongying a little worried.

Those areas that resisted U.S. aggression and aided Korea actually became Chinese territory from the Qin Dynasty of China in the third century BC. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wu Quan separatized Annan and established the so-called Wu Dynasty.

Then there seemed to be a turmoil, and Li Gongyun founded the Li Dynasty, the most powerful dynasty in Vietnamese history. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty issued an imperial edict to give the country the name Annan, and named Nanping King Li Tianzuo the King of Annam.

Immediately afterwards, the powerful minister Chen Xu accepted the abdication of the Empress of the Li Dynasty and founded the Chen Dynasty. He continued to use the Li Dynasty's national name "Dayue" internally and "Annan" externally. Now Hu Jisu, a relative of the Chen Dynasty, controls the government, and his intention to usurp the throne has become clear.

Revealed.

Indochina still needs to be controlled, not only to obtain more resources, but also to ensure the important area of ​​Southeast Asia. The Age of Discovery is coming soon, and the location of Indochina is too sensitive.

Zhu Xiongying is very greedy and has never thought about discovering the New World now, or that he wants to include the American continent and Australia in the territory now. He knows that it is unrealistic and a thankless task.

The main reason is that the current transportation and communication are inconvenient. Even if we find the place, we will not be able to bring about any qualitative changes to the Ming Dynasty for the time being. At most, we can only find peppers, potatoes, corns, and tomatoes, which are not cost-effective now.

But for the surrounding places, such as Japan, Korea, or Annan, Zhu Xiongying felt that even if they could not be completely included in the territory, they still needed to be controlled within his own control.

The suzerain state is not enough. Zhu Xiongying has no intention of accepting any tribute and promoting the country's prestige. Just like Zhu Di in history, he did something thankless and flattering, and he will not imitate the so-called Renzong and give up some important things.

area.

As Zhu Xiongying's grandson's teammate, Fu Rang feels a little aggrieved now.

After all, he is also a young hero who has been on the battlefield, but now he needs to accompany his grandson to compete. How can Fu Rang dare to really exert his strength, how can he really dare to use some killing moves.

Zhu Xiongying actually doesn't care about those details. He knows that there is no martial arts in this world. Practicing martial arts diligently is more about strengthening the body, rather than thinking about one day being able to personally conquer the country, kill generals and capture the flag.

Seeing such a heroic young man, Lao Zhu smiled happily. This is what his grandson should look like, and this is the strong posture that the future successor of Ming Dynasty should have.

As for the worries of the civil servants, let them worry. It is not their turn to worry about these things!
