Chapter 542 Talent

Although Emperor Hongwu basically does not interfere in the government affairs now, he seems to be just focusing on cultivating Xiao Xiaozhu and is now living his old age. But in the eyes of many people, Emperor Hongwu is still their backbone.

Lao Zhu is actually very busy, probably because he returned to Yingtian Mansion, Lao Zhu couldn't get idle at all.

As the Supreme Emperor, Lao Zhu still pays great attention to maintaining Xiao Zhu's majesty. That is, when Xiao Zhu ascended the throne, Lao Zhu would occasionally appear in the court. It was just because there was a big deal that he needed to stand on Xiao Zhu's platform.

But now Lao Zhu feels that there is no need to go to the court. Xiao Zhu has already controlled Huangquan. Xiao Zhu's monarchy is supreme. He surrenders all the civil and military officials of the court, but he does have the general trend and there is no need to worry about it.

This also made Lao Zhu retreat more consciously and unwilling to appear in the court easily.

Just like after returning from this inspection, Lao Zhu just returned to the palace with a light chariot and ceased to worship Fengxian Hall, and then disappeared from the sight of many people again. For Lao Zhu, this was enough, and he disappeared from the outside ministers.

It is not good to have two political families. Although Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu were also in charge of politics in the early years, the power in their hands was almost no different from that in the emperor. However, even Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu were the "executive deputy emperors", they would not have conflicts with Lao Zhu's main policies.

Now Lao Zhu also thinks so. If he makes any sound, all the civil and military officials in the court will naturally have to consider it. Even Zhu Yunyou, who seems to have supreme power, must consider Lao Zhu's opinions.

After all, it is Lao Zhu's influence. It will not be said that it will disappear in less than three years. As long as Lao Zhu is still alive, he will be the supreme member of the Ming Dynasty, and even Zhu Yunyou cannot shake it.

Zhu Yunyou understood this truth, and Lao Zhu naturally understood this truth. They had no conflicts themselves, but they were one mind. But even if these two supreme emperors of the world did not express their opinions, many civil and military officials would have to figure out the best intentions. Maybe there would be some small conflicts in the court at that time.

For foreign ministers, Lao Zhu naturally could not see him. Even many nobles wanted to meet him, but Lao Zhu was too lazy to see him.

But those sons and daughters must meet. Many grandchildren, grandchildren, and Lao Zhu also met according to the situation. As for great-grandchildren, grandchildren, etc., Lao Zhu basically couldn't see many.

Xiao Xiao Zhu stood in front of Lao Zhu casually and said, "Twenty-one Prince, if you don't give us an uncle, your great-grandfather will be unhappy."

Seniority is so bad. As Lao Zhu’s 21st son, Zhu Mo is younger than Zhu Yunyou, but his seniority is here. If he has children, he will be Xiao Zhu’s cousin, Xiao Xiao Zhu’s uncle.

Old Zhu looked at Xiaoxiao Zhu with a smile, and then said to Zhu Mo, "Look, the prince knows this truth, you don't know that you are anxious at all! You are twenty-one people, so you should know these things too. If we want to tell me, is there something wrong with Zhang?"

Zhu Mo hurriedly said, "My son knows his mistake."

He has not given birth yet on twenty-one, so Zhu Mo naturally knew that this matter was "disgraceful". It is normal for Lao Zhu to criticize him.

Xiao Xiao Zhu thought for a while and said, "The Twenty-One Prince can accept a concubine. If our Twenty-One Prince grandmother has children in the future, it will be too late. Our Twenty-One Prince will be successful only if we have incense. Otherwise, our great-grandfather will not be at ease and our father will not be at ease."

Old Zhu smiled and felt that his great-grandson was indeed promising. "Just as the prince said, we will tell the queen to help you choose a concubine. If you have incense first, you will be fine. Don't worry too much about Zhang. If she has children in the future, she will be fine."

What else does Zhu Mo have to say? Although he and Zhang have a good relationship, in this era, they are unfilial, and have no descendants but no great people.

What's more, he was the King of Shen of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how good his relationship with Zhang was, he had to consider his own incense and the royal heritage.

After meeting twenty-one sons, Lao Zhu wanted to meet the twenty-second son, King An Zhu Ying. Xu was nineteen years old and had just gotten married, and he also had no children. Lao Zhu was not particularly anxious, but he also hoped that his twenty-two sons could be more successful.

"You should be better than your emperor grandfather, and better than your father." Old Zhu looked at Xiao Xiao Zhu with a smile, and then said, "Your emperor grandfather used to be thinking about your emperor grandmother. When your emperor grandmother is gone, he likes that Lu family. Your father is not much better. There are not many concubines in the harem, and he just circles around your mother all day long."

Xiao Xiao Zhu, who was eating lychees, said indifferently, "Our father also went to the imperial concubine, Shu concubine, Xian concubine, and Zhaoyi, Jieyu, and our father also went to their place to rest. Our father just didn't like them, we all knew. Our father liked to govern politics, and didn't like women."

"That's still true. There are not many descendants now, and it's not too small." Old Zhu said with a smile, "Don't imitate your father, don't just think about snacks and political affairs at that time. You are the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty, and your descendants are also related to the country."

Xiao Xiao Zhu nodded seriously, but said a little perfunctory, "We know, we will have a boy as soon as we get married."

At this time, King An Zhu Ying also arrived at the Ganqing Palace and visited the court in a regular manner. "My son pays homage to His Majesty, and I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiaoxiao Zhu had a serious expression, had already put down the lychee, and held Dagui up and stood next to Lao Zhu.

"Zhu Wenyin has met the twenty-two princes."

Old Zhu smiled and raised his hand, saying, "It's all a family, don't be so polite."

Zhu Ying actually wanted to complain, mainly because of this kind of politeness and rules that were made by Lao Zhu. In order to improve Xiao Xiao Zhu's status, Lao Zhu deliberately asked Xiao Xiao Zhu to stand beside him with the emperor Da Gui.

If the rules set by Lao Zhu initially were followed, this was the process of the vassal kings when they came to worship. But now, considering Xiao Xiao Zhu's age and identity, Lao Zhu deliberately raised Xiao Xiao Zhu's status and asked Xiao Xiao Zhu's princes to pay the rules.

There is no way, this is the Tian family. Although they are family members, they are also monarchs and ministers, and the rules must be clear.

"I just met your 21st brother, and the prince both told him to have children earlier." Old Zhu spoke and said to Zhu Ying, "You should be more concerned, don't do more ridiculous things. Think about your starling, we can only besides his country."

Zhu Zi, the eight-son prince of Lao Zhu, was involved in the Hu Weiyong case in the 23rd year of Hongwu. He was very uneasy because his princess's family was involved in the Hu Weiyong case. He died of self-immolation with his princess at the age of 22. Without children, he naturally would be eliminated. He did not even have a posthumous title, which did not even count as a final conclusion.

Zhu Ying actually knew that it was not that simple for the Eagle Brother to set himself on fire. Although it seemed that the princess's family was involved in the Hu Weiyong case, there were many other tricks here.

There are also rumors in the royal family that the mother of King Zhu Jing of Qi and King Zhu Zi of Tan Zhu Zi were both Concubine Da Ding. In the early years, King Zhu Jing of Qi was negligent when the then crown prince was ordered to patrol the border, which also caused Concubine Da Ding to completely lose favor, and King Zhu Jing of Qi has been neglected over the years.

How much truth is there in this? That is a very difficult thing to say, but many people in the royal family believe this statement.

Lao Zhu encouraged and beat the twenty-two sons. Even though Lao Zhu had always favored the eldest son without any concealment, he was not bad for other children, especially these sons who had no descendants, and they needed to care for them.

It was the 23rd son, the King of Tang Zhu Ju, who immediately said after the ceremony, "The Twenty-Three Prince, Grandpa Emperor just said that he would give the crown ceremony to the Twenty-Three Prince."

Old Zhu glared at Xiao Xiao Zhu. His twenty-third son Zhu Zhu was just fifteen years old. It would be fine to say that the ceremony of giving the crown ceremony was fine.

In fact, Lao Zhu's youngest son is still alive now, the twenty-five son Zhu. He has not yet opened a house because he is only thirteen years old.

If the twenty-sixth son Zhu Nan had not died for a full month, then Xiao Xiao Zhu would be two years older than his twenty-sixth prince.

It can only be said that Old Zhu is getting stronger, and the difference in seniority between Old Zhu's family suddenly widened. It's simply because Old Zhu is so capable. Zhu Yunyou's nephew is older than many uncles, while Xiao Xiao Zhu is almost older than his grandfather.

He encouraged a few sons who had no birth or adulthood. Lao Zhu naturally wanted these sons to be more motivated, not to ask them to become a virtuous king of the generation, nor to cause trouble to the emperor.

"We are afraid we won't see you princes getting married and having children. You and your father have to stare at these things." Old Zhu explained to Xiao Xiao Zhu seriously, "We can't keep up with our energy now, and we can't take care of them too much."

Xiao Xiao Zhu was careless and did not shy away at all, "We know, and our father also knows these principles. As long as the royal family does not rebel or cause troubles that are angry and resentful, we will take care of it."

Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing and said proudly, "After all, they are Biao'er's children and grandchildren, and they are big-minded. It is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty royal family to meet you emperors who care about their relatives."

"Who made us Miaomiao from the old Zhu family? We are too lazy to care about it." Xiao Xiao Zhu said halfway, thinking it was wrong, "We should still care about it, and we should also care about the affairs of the Wuxun family. Our father said that at the beginning of the country, the Wugui was gentle, but gradually the Wengui and Wugui were gentle. We had to fight, and we would help whoever is weak."

This also made Lao Zhu even more proud and happy. He was the prince who was carefully cultivated. Although his knowledge is limited and his means are immature, he has all the thoughts he should have, and those who are young at the age of a young man know the checks and balances.

Seeing that the time was almost over, Lao Zhu said, "Let's go, let's take you to see your brother. I heard that I was restless, so I like to make trouble at night."

"We are not going to recover from the Spring Palace anymore." Xiao Xiao Zhu immediately complained and said, "We still like to be in the Qianqing Palace, where it is quiet. Our younger brother is the most quarrelsome."

Lao Zhu found it funny and said, "Wen Ji has been holding your father to study in the main hall. You don't like to go to the main hall, and you haven't been able to go there these days. If your father really checks your studies, we will definitely not be able to help you."

Xiaoxiao Zhu immediately said proudly, "We used a seal for "Shangfang Post" and also gave Zhao Ji's flower and bird paintings postscript. If our father said we didn't study, we would say that we should be a little literary now, and our father could write poetry."

"That shouldn't be Zhao Ji, your father doesn't like him." Lao Zhu laughed and said, "It's Li Taibai's "Shangfangtai Post" that you shouldn't just use a seal. You are Ying'er's descendant and have literary talent. We think that some individuals also use seals and inscriptions on it, and you should also write a postscript."

Xiaoxiao Zhu also seemed to think what Lao Zhu said was reasonable, "Our father looked down on Zhao Ji, said he was not a good emperor, so he would do some stupid things. The words our father liked were Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, and it seemed that he was not bad for Zhao Mengfu."

"Your father is tough and he is born from his heart. This word can also highlight a person's character." Lao Zhu continued, "Why didn't we let your father's word leak out in the early years? Your father is precocious, so it is a good thing that the word leaks out. Others say that our Zhu family has inherited its heritage, but we are also afraid that his word is too hard."

Xiao Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "Our characters don't matter. Our characters are all ghost-painted talismans, which is no different from ordinary children. Others say that the characters of our father are too sharp."

When he remembered something, Lao Zhu reminded, "Don't let your girl do your homework for you in the future. There are some things you can watch, you can't let others see, and you can't let others criticize them. Even if you explain some things, you will take them back and take them back to see them later. You can't let others fool you."

Lao Zhu is now a little amused and a little unexpected about his cleverness of his great-grandson.

I originally thought that Xiao Xiao Zhu was under his nose all day long and didn't know what happened. But who would have thought that this kid didn't do his homework and asked Zhu Ruyi to do it for a long time, which was because Zhu Ruyi missed a flaw and caught it.

Xiao Xiaozhu is very worried. If she wants to avoid doing her homework in the future, it seems that it has increased the difficulty a little. If she wants to be lazy, she can only find some other ways.

Zhu Yunyou obviously didn't know about Xiao Xiao Zhu's troubles now. But Zhu Yunyou also had a trouble now, because he was very likely to have cultivated a mudslide in the collection world.

Li Taibai wrote his four-character poem, totaling twenty-five characters, which is also "Shangyangtai Tie". However, over the years, Zhao Mengjian, Jia Sidao, Zhang Yan and others have collected seals. There are also inscriptions and connotations written by Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Yan and Du Ben in the Yuan Dynasty.

It is these people's impression that they have far surpassed those written by Li Bai.

And now, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty suddenly burst out with artistic atmosphere, and the crown prince's treasure seal was heavily covered, and there were several seals.

Who dares to say that our Daming family has no talent, who dares to say that our Daming family is full of mud legs?

We are very talented!

Looking at the seal on "Shangyangtai Post", Zhu Yunyou really didn't know what to say. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Xiaozhu's destructive power, even better than those of the collectors of her previous generations.

After all, Xiao Xiao Zhu is covered with the Prince's Treasure Seal, and those people are basically Tibetan seals, so the difference is still very big.
