Chapter 585: Separation
Chapter 585 Dividing the family
Zhu Yunyou was not surprised at Lao Zhu's "elusiveness", and it can even be said to be something that he was used to. Of course, Zhu Yunyou also had some amusement in some of Lao Zhu's behaviors.
For example, Lao Zhu looks a little "demonic". He is always maintaining Zhu Yunyou's majesty, so now he basically never speaks out on major events, and is unwilling to contact some ministers more, even some sons, grandsons, and Lao Zhu are also rare, and it is best not to see each other.
But Zhu Yunyou also understood it, and he was sure of being moved, but he was really not that sensitive.
Who made Lao Zhu worry about it? Although Lao Zhu looks behind the scenes, Zhu Yunyou basically lets Zhu Yunyou solve big and small things. But Lao Zhu's personality also determines that he cares about and cares about many things.
Even if he doesn't interfere, he still wants to know. Some things are not happy with. He will not interfere with Zhu Yunyou, but he will have a good chat with Zhu Yunyou in private.
Looking at Lao Zhu and Xiao Xiao Zhu, Zhu Yunyou said, "Grandpa Emperor, we have met the emperor uncles today. They left the palace gate. We think the other emperor uncles should know. We guess we will definitely not be idle during this period."
Old Zhu understood what Zhu Yunyou meant and said with a smile, "Just do things steadily. If your unscrupulous uncles dare to make noise, we will ask them to enter the palace and just criticize them. They dare not talk too much, let alone make trouble."
Zhu Yunyou did not doubt that Lao Zhu said this at all. Father, kindness, son, and filial piety would not work for Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu is a typical feudal old parent, and he pays great attention to his children.
Zhu Yunyou's uncles and aunts, who dared to be angry with Lao Zhu? Even Da Zhu, the most beloved Da Zhu, seems not afraid of Lao Zhu, but in fact, if Lao Zhu really gets angry, he will feel a little furious.
That is, Zhu Yunyou is neither big nor small, so he can be "calm in mind" in front of Lao Zhu. But to be honest, if Lao Zhu really gets angry, Zhu Yunyou often has some small fears.
Perhaps it was Xiao Xiao Zhu who was raised by Lao Zhu since childhood, so he would not be afraid of Lao Zhu. If you want to say that the Ming Dynasty thought Lao Zhu had a good temper, it was Xiao Xiao Zhu.
"That's not that the emperors are generally aware of the generalities." Zhu Yunyou smiled and said hurriedly, "It's because Goryeo is too special, and the fourth uncle and the others founded the country. Other emperors also saw some benefits and were thinking about it."
Xiao Xiaozhu took the initiative to speak at this time and said, "Last time we saw ordinary people's brothers split up in Yingtian Mansion, and even the bowls and chopsticks must be clearly distinguished. Remember that they are from the third room. If you take an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, his brother would not be happy, so he beat and scolded him."
This is also a very normal thing. Not to mention such a thing in the Ming Dynasty, it will be the same even after hundreds of years.
Even when the brothers were splitting, they all calculated clearly. However, in today's feudal dynasty, the eldest son's family must have absolute advantages, some advantages that are officially recognized by secular morality.
Old Zhu laughed when he heard this and said, "A common people's homes are a pair of bowls and chopsticks and acre of land. It is common for brothers to make trouble. We are the Tian family, and the ones that separate the family are the dragon throne..."
"That won't work. The dragon throne belongs to our father and ours. In the future, our eldest son can also sit on the dragon throne, but no one else can do it!" Xiao Xiao Zhu jumped out and said to Lao Zhu anxiously and seriously, "Great-grandfather, you don't understand what you said. How can the dragon throne be separated?"
Zhu Yunyou was stunned for a moment. His precious son seemed to have subtly had some ideas over the years.
However, such things are indeed normal and are not worth making a fuss. Don’t think that children don’t have the mind or ideas, especially Xiao Xiao Zhu, who is now at the age of thinking.
Lao Zhu was not unhappy about Xiao Xiao Zhu's natural behavior. He said happily, "Yes, we said the wrong thing. This dragon throne should be my father's, yours. In the future, your descendants can also sit on the dragon throne, but others will not succeed."
Xiao Xiao Zhu immediately smiled and said happily, "Great-grandfather, we all know that we are the prince. If we can sit on the dragon throne in the future, no one can do it. In the future, we will follow the rules. Only when our princesses gave birth to the first son can we become the prince and be the dragon throne. Our parents said that Great-grandfather set rules in his early years."
Lao Zhu smiled very happily, and it seemed that "those who are in the elders must have the right position to be in the throne." This concept is also deeply rooted in people's hearts.
This is something that Lao Zhu is proud of, and it is also the result of his long-term efforts. This is not a rule that was founded after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. This can be said to be the rules and consensus that Lao Zhu began to try to establish after Da Zhu was born.
Now, the family and four generations have finally made this concept deeply rooted in people's hearts. This is an absolute good thing. It would be great that the emperor had such an idea, which could make the inheritance of the throne of the Ming Dynasty more stable and would have fewer twists and turns.
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunyou and said with a smile, "It's your son, who is the same as you. He is stronger. He only knows this principle when he is seven or eight years old. You know these principles just a little bit older. Who are you willing to give to the bellyband your grandmother gave you in the early years?!"
Zhu Yunyou laughed and said without shame, "Grandma is thrifty, so is we. We have become a family heirloom. We keep them all, let the queen take them away. In other words, Yin'er wore them for a while when she was a child, but we couldn't bear to let others wear them, and Wen Kun couldn't do it."
Old Zhu was happy and laughed and scolded, "Your grandmother is thrifty and can't bear to eat and wear food, but she is willing to prepare some things for you. You are also talking about being thrifty and wearing new clothes. She said that she was thrifty and had to give it to her younger brother if she was thrifty, and she left it for her son only."
"That's different. We just remember that my grandmother slipped several bellybands for us, all of which were yellow cloth, two with five claws." Zhu Yunyou said to Lao Zhu seriously, "Grandpa, we think my grandmother is also thinking. Only the eldest son of our old Zhu family can wear her embroidered bellyband, so we have to hide it."
Lao Zhu nodded with a smile. This baby grandson's caring heart is not just a little bit. Lao Zhu has no reason not to spoil and love.
Zhu Yunyou grew up in Kunning Palace and was cared for by Empress Ma himself. Many clothes and other things were sewn by Empress Ma himself. Not to mention that the rules in the early years were not so strict, or that Zhu Yunyou has always been a special one, so sometimes his food and clothing are indeed beyond the rules.
But it doesn't matter. Queen Ma is happy and Lao Zhu is happy, so Zhu Yunyou enjoys it with peace of mind.
"We went to see it last time, but we were afraid that our granddaughter-in-law would be of no importance." Old Zhu said with a smile, "It's still true. She put away all the things Yin'er wears, and let the palace maids take them out to dry and wash them."
This is not just because Lao Zhu is petty, but the most important thing is because of the royal rules. Sometimes it is impossible to be messed up. The eldest son's bellyband is that the eldest son can wear it, and the second son can only envy it. This rule cannot be messed up.
But now it seems that Lao Zhu is thinking too much. Zhu Yunyou understands this truth, and Xu Miaoqing actually understands these truths. She is more cautious in these things.
If you don’t spoil Zhu Wenkun, it definitely doesn’t exist. But Xu Miaoqing knows that Xiao Xiao Zhu’s identity is special, which is something that Xiao Xiao Zhu has determined after she was born, and it cannot be changed by just being biased.
Even considering the relationship between brothers, Xu Miaoqing did not dare to give Zhu Wenkun some clothes. Even if he gave Zhu Wenkun, who was ignorant and knew how to cry, he would not dare to say something that was beyond the rules. This naturally means that he was worried that he would give Zhu Wenkun some thoughts since childhood, which may also cause some bad things.
Xu Miaoqing understood this truth, so it was naturally better. After all, there were indeed some queens and empress dowagers who were biased towards the masses, which almost caused the country's turmoil.
For example, Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty was partial to her younger son, thinking about her younger son, King Liang Liu Wu, taking over the throne of Emperor Jing Liu Qi, and thinking about having a brother to end up with her brother, almost ignoring that Liu Qi actually has a descendant.
He stopped chatting, and Lao Zhu said seriously, "Look at the other end of Goryeo, don't split the two brothers with their brothers first. If you want to talk about civil governance, you are still a little capable. Goryeo finally came to defeat, take the people's hearts and rectify the administration, and he is also good at these things."
Zhu Yunyou was actually quite moved by Lao Zhu's proposal, because Zhu Yunyou knew that it made sense.
When Zhu Yunyou was born, the world of the Ming Dynasty had already been conquered, and the country was basically stable. What Lao Zhu was thinking about at that time was to reclaim military power, solve some old generals, and to rectify the administration of the government and also to eliminate the power of the ministers.
This is not an easy thing, because the country is in chaos at the beginning, and it is never an easy thing to bring back the hearts of the people. What's more, it has been ruled by the Mongols for nearly a hundred years, and the hearts of the people are even more dispersed.
The situation in Goryeo is actually worse. After all, Goryeo has its own ethnic group, customs, etc., and it is not a simple matter to win over the people's hearts.
Although Li Chenggui and his son usurped the throne, many Goryeo scholars and officials and the people were disloyal, they were Goryeo people, and the Han people in the Ming Dynasty were the Han people. What's more, Zhu Yunyou knew that even now, there were some people who were somewhat missed by the Mongolians, and some people were thinking about the goodness of the Mongols.
Some such forces were even stronger in Goryeo in the early years, and whether they were close to Ming or Mongolia was a great conflict in the Goryeo regime in the early years.
"It's good that your eleventh uncle has gone there. First, rectify the troubled times. There have been many officials in our Ming Dynasty court over the years, and we can't always give them." Old Zhu said to Zhu Yunyou seriously, "This is a division of the family. What kind of family can be managed depends on their ability."
Lao Zhu’s meaning is very obvious. If Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan went to Goryeo, it would have been founded, and it would have been obvious that they would have been a real separation. The Ming Dynasty would not have been helping to provide for the bottom line and helping to do everything well.
That also requires some realistic things to be considered, so the Ming Dynasty could provide some help in advance, but what kind of achievements will be in the end depends on the ability of Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan.
Zhu Yunyou nodded and said to Lao Zhu, "So we did this on the other side of the Fourth Uncle and the others. It is true that our Ming Dynasty is prosperous and powerful now, but they have also founded the country, and this is a vassal state. We cannot just care about them and ignore our Ming country."
In fact, everyone understands the truth. The Ming Dynasty cannot always provide all kinds of help. Not only the emperor knows it, but those kings actually understand it.
Lao Zhu continued, "Your Seventeenth Uncle is not bad at fighting, but your internal affairs are indeed a bit bad. You should also mention your younger brothers and take them a little. This is not a matter of governance of troubled times overnight."
Zhu Yunyou naturally understood this truth. Of course, the imperial arts cannot be taught at will, and many things cannot even be contacted by the royal family. However, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty is about to establish a country, so some things should be learned a little.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was the "three generations of emperors". How to be a good emperor and govern the country well is experienced. The Ming Dynasty is now strong, and it is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally have more say.
But in this process, there are times when there are some excessive mistakes, and there are indeed moments when you take detours.
So even if you separate, it would be a good thing if your family members could avoid detours. It would be no simple matter to manage Goryeo well.
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunyou and said, "Actually, in the early years, Li Chenggui asked someone to come over to ask for the enthronement. If you hadn't stopped him, we would have given them a name. North Korea, He Ning, we have thought of a national name for them."
Zhu Yunyou was not surprised, he knew this.
In fact, "North Korea" is not the first to propose it.
"Korea" was originally the name of an ancient oriental country. In Chinese classics, King Wu of Zhou conferred Jizi in Korea. This is taken from "The Rising Days of the South". During the Goguryeo period, people on the peninsula liked to be involved with North Korea.
As for "He Ning", it is Lao Zhu who showed goodwill to Li Chenggui and his son. It is said that it was the birthplace of Li Chenggui.
Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "Harmony will definitely not be the name of Dongyi. The name of Dongyi is only known as the beautiful North Korea, and its origin is far away. You can be based on its name and ancestors. So, let's first come "The Ming Dynasty Kingdom."
There are the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty
This is the national name for a formal occasion, and this is the significance of the national name given to the Ming Dynasty!
Looking at Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunyou said, "North Korea, we have set a national name. This is not enough. Grandpa Emperor will think about it again when he goes back and think about another national name. In this matter, Grandpa Emperor gave the national name legitimately, and Grandpa Emperor captured the Ming Dynasty. Grandpa Emperor's descendants established a vassal state near China. This is the great cause of our Zhu family."
Lao Zhu laughed loudly, his long house naturally inherited the Ming Dynasty. Several other houses established vassal states near the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at historical books, who is more successful than the Zhu family?
