Chapter 540
Family High and Low
Emperor Hongwu, who went out to patrol, returned to Yingtian Mansion, but it seemed that the Supreme Emperor had returned to Yingtian Mansion, which obviously did not represent some other meanings.
If it was a period of time, if it was more than ten years ago, Emperor Hongwu was the Dinghai Sword of the Ming Dynasty. Once he left Emperor Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty's newly set sailing ship would likely have some treks or even overturned.
Even two or three years ago, even though the British Emperor had ascended the throne, many people believed that the backbone of the Ming Dynasty was still Emperor Hongwu.
But now it is different. The British emperor has great power and the power of the Ming Dynasty has been completely replaced.
Whether Emperor Hongwu is in Yingtian Prefecture or not, it seems that he has no such great influence. Emperor Hongwu seems to have limited influence on the government.
This is the perception of many people because they are very confident in the English Emperor. They also know that the English Emperor seems to be not very old, but this young king has the skills, ability, and experience in governing.
The court officials welcomed Lao Zhu, which may be just the title of the monarch and minister, and they had to do so. The royal family welcomed Lao Zhu, which was naturally because Lao Zhu was the "boss" of the Ming royal family, not only because of his seniority, but also because of his identity.
Xiao Xiao Zhu obviously didn't care. He ate the fruit comfortably, "Dad, when we were outside, we were thinking about our Yingtian's roast duck."
Old Zhu immediately said first, "That's right, these big duck legs are all from our Yin'er, and no one is allowed to steal them."
"Great-grandfather, when our brother grows up, we will share him with one duck leg." Xiao Xiaozhu, who was shooting his bow from left to right, said happily, "We just saw my brother. Although he has gained a little weight, it is still fun. He almost likes us."
What a smart person Old Zhu is, he knows more clearly what his great-grandson thinks. "We have also seen your younger brother, although it is quite likable. But if we say that we are far from our Yin'er, we are still incomparable."
Xiao Xiaozhu was happy, but she still said pretentiously, "Great-grandfather, although my younger brother is not as good as us, this is our younger brother. In the future, great-grandfather will also love our younger brother."
Zhu Yunyou thought it was a bit funny. The old and the young were not a good-looking person. One was competing for favor and had a slight sense of crisis. The other, as always, did not hide his bias, and felt that his eldest and greatest grandson was the unquestionable best.
While eating roast duck, Zhu Yunyou asked, "Grandpa Emperor, we have also given a letter before. Should the emperor's name be decided?"
Lao Zhu refused without hesitation, and his thoughts were not concealed. "You are a father, so we have to help you with everything? What's the difficulty of giving a name? You just make your own decision. As long as you follow our "Ancestral Teachings Record", we will let you."
Zhu Yunyou and Xu Miaoqing looked at each other, and they were not surprised at all. Lao Zhu made such a statement, which was actually as expected by them, which was very consistent with some of Lao Zhu's personality traits.
Zhu Yunyou was not polite and said to Lao Zhu, "We and the queen have thought about it, so call him Zhu Wenkun. We should name the emperor. It is difficult for us to urge us on the other end of the clan mansion, but our emperor should also get the jade certificate."
Lao Zhu didn't agree, he really didn't care about this matter. When Lao Zhu was named Zhu Yun's eldest son, Lao Zhu was not very happy. If he wanted to name him, he would be the eldest son and grandson. This was Lao Zhu's most enthusiastic one. Forget the other descendants, just naming according to the rules according to the "Ancestral Instructions".
As for saying that he had a great-grandson, Lao Zhu must be very happy. He also went to see Zhu Wenkun, who was still in his infancy, and thought that boy was also quite fun and chubby.
"If you really want to talk about it, Wen Kun looks a bit like an emperor," Lao Zhu laughed and said, "But we guess the emperor is not very happy. He is just thinking about his daughter."
Xu Miaoqing naturally understood that this was Emperor Hongwu hitting her. In fact, Emperor Hongwu was very happy when she gave birth to a son. However, the old feudal Emperor Hongwu also liked the prosperity of his descendants very much. He had a lot of branches and leaves, and he also hoped that his children and grandchildren would follow suit.
I think that the child that Xu Miaoqing gave birth to was not enough. Now he has only given birth to two sons, which is a bit unqualified. Thinking about Chang's son, he gave birth to four children in four years, and this is Lao Zhu's satisfied daughter-in-law.
As for whether this will hurt your vitality, Lao Zhu really doesn't care. Even if it is the queen, Lao Zhu is "different from closeness and distance". The surname Zhu is his family.
If the emperor hadn't liked Xu Miaoqing, if the queen hadn't given birth to Xiao Xiao Zhu, it would have been impossible for Lao Zhu to change another queen. There was only one queen with an unshakable status in the Ming Dynasty, that was his first wife, Empress Ma.
To be honest, Lao Zhu's standards are always changing flexibly. There is nothing to say about his own family. For other people's family, even if Lao Zhu seems to have a better time, he will be partial to his own family whenever he encounters something.
"Great-grandfather, our mother can't have a sister again." Xiao Xiao Zhu was anxious and stopped thinking about duck legs. "Our father likes Ruyier so much. If he adds another girl to us, then our father won't hug us."
Lao Zhu found it funny, but he still said, "You are so old, and you still want your father to hug you? If we want us to tell you, we should have a marriage for you. We are about to grow up. If you weren't the crown prince early, you should have a title for you."
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiao Zhu was also at the age of "canonization". However, the ancestral teachings he set by Lao Zhu actually destroyed the most. Most of the time, Lao Zhu took the lead in not following them.
For example, Xiao Xiaozhu was named the crown prince before she was ten years old. For example, the country that was not conquered in the early years was almost completely crossed out, in order to make future generations and descendants raise troops.
Xiao Xiao Zhu became vague, as if she was a little worried, "We are going to get married too? Is it too early? We haven't had enough fun yet, so we don't want to get married. Let's talk about it in a few years. We won't be able to make a marriage now, and we are still children."
Zhu Yunyou glanced at Xiaoxiao Zhu and said, "Now you don't need to get married. But we and your great-grandfather must also consider this matter. If we discuss this matter, we will know you when the time comes. You are always running around in Yingtian Mansion, and you can also go and see your little wife."
Old Zhu smiled and said to Xu Miaoqing, "Sunny and daughter-in-law, you have to be more concerned about this matter. Summon more women and ask which noble family has a suitable age. Our Crown Princess is the top character and must not be bad."
Xiao Xiao Zhu's wife can obviously be chosen by Wuxun's family. This can be regarded as a tradition of the old Zhu family, and we must continue to stick to it.
This was the case with Da Zhu at the beginning, and so was Xiao Zhu. It was Xiao Xiao Zhu's turn, so naturally he should have such a pattern.
Xu Miaoqing immediately took the order and said, "The granddaughter-in-law obeys the order."
Zhu Yunyou didn't object, but said to Xu Miaoqing, "Yin'er's marriage is not a trivial matter. The queen should ask more questions and see more about this matter. If there is a candidate, remember to tell us and Grandpa, and let's discuss it again."
Xiao Xiaozhu, who was gnawing on duck legs, obviously didn't have much interest in this matter, probably because he really didn't have the time to think about the love between his children. For him, going out to play is more important, and for Xiao Xiaozhu, studying is also important.
He is just a child, so naturally he should not expect him to understand things like marriage.
Xu Miaoqing was not vague at this time, so she naturally cared about Xiao Xiao Zhu's future. "Grandpa Emperor, if you choose a concubine for Yin'er, would it be better to have a higher or lower?"
Lao Zhu looked at Xiaoxiao Zhu, and then said to Zhu Yunyou, "What we mean, Yin'er should not choose a person with too high a portal. But Yin'er's status is different and not too low. In terms of portals, we think the Marquis' House will be."
Xu Miaoqing was a little disappointed. Her father-in-law and righteous wife were the Chang family. She came from the Xu family. These are also the two most important identities of the Ming Dynasty’s Honorary Group. This is the real top noble.
When it comes to her son, let alone the "King Mansion", it is not the turn of the Duke's level now, so we can only start from the Marquis level to select people.
Zhu Yunyou nodded with a smile and said to Lao Zhu, "We have the same idea. Yin'er's wife is still the marquis' side. We feel that our identity is also suitable."
In fact, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu’s thoughts can be said to be very obvious. There is no need to be too high for Xiao Xiao Zhu’s wife, as it is not a good thing.
When Da Zhu married Chang, in addition to childhood sweethearts and affection, Chang Yuchun was also gone. After marrying Chang, the Chang family was instantly tied to Da Zhu's chariot. Lao Zhu thought this was the most appropriate.
When he arrived at Xiao Zhu, Lao Zhu actually didn't think that Xiao Zhu's wife was too high at the beginning. But who made Xiao Zhu lose his mother at that time and Lao Zhu was worried that after he was gone, Da Zhu would think of deposing Xiao Zhu. After all, some of the little thoughts of the Lu family in those years were obvious.
So even if Xu Miaoqing is the most suitable candidate, if there are any variables, the Xu and Chang teams are tied to Zhu Yunyou's chariot, and the noble group will almost be completely controlled. Unless they are thinking about the turmoil of the country and the power is cleared, they will definitely not have any other thoughts.
But now it’s different. Xiao Xiao Zhu doesn’t need to have a higher position. The Xu family is born in the Xu family, so if you find a wife from a high family, you have to consider the interfering in politics. After all, Xu Huizu from the Xu family is a bit capable, unlike Chang Mao, who is from the Chang family, who cannot take on the responsibility.
Xiao Xiaozhu’s marriage is obviously not something that can be determined in just a few words, and these things really require long-term planning.
But it is certain that Xiao Xiaozhu's marriage has indeed determined the general direction in such a discussion. If there is no big accident, there will be no change.
