Chapter 604 Old Fox
I don’t know when it started, but news began to spread throughout the Ming Dynasty that the emperor intended to govern the Yellow River.
At the beginning, no one cared too much. Many people knew how big it was to govern the Yellow River. They could understand that such a manpower and material project might be thankless.
The Ming Dynasty is still using troops in Goryeo. Liang Guogong Lan Yu has been practicing troops in the northwest for a long time. Many people can guess the next plan of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, it's not a joke. Many people have also heard that the British emperor shows the emperor about the Nanyang people.
Have ideas.
Coupled with the internal governance of the Ming Dynasty, the further development of Jingxiang, or the stabilization of Liaodong, and even the migration of capital to Beiping that many people deliberately ignore, etc., which one here is not a very large project?
Don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty is now building two imperial tombs. Emperor Hongwu actually did not build the tomb as soon as he ascended the throne, but waited until the 14th year of Hongwu that Li Xin, the assistant of the General Administration of the Central Army, presided over the construction of the tomb.
But everyone knows that as long as Emperor Hongwu does not die, Xiaoling Mausoleum needs to be continued. By the same token, the tomb built for Emperor Yingxiu seems to be in a hurry, but it is indeed under construction.
Including the Dong Tomb of Dazhu, which was upgraded to an imperial tomb, now it also needs to be worthy of the specifications of the Emperor’s Tomb, which also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. This naturally means that a lot of money is needed.
In fact, whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, it is also stingy to be stingy, but some things should not be stingy.
The Xiao Mausoleum, which has been built for twenty years, has improved its shape based on the tombs of emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties. It can be said that it is grand in model, majestic in architecture, pavilions and pavilions in the cemetery, and the smoky smoky in the hall, pine waves, forests, and long-lived deer
head.
Lao Zhu attached great importance to his tomb. When the Xiao Mausoleum was first built, he used 100,000 military workers to be commissioned. Now it is not the peak period for the construction of the tomb, but there are still more than 30,000 craftsmen there.
Zhu Yunyou did not have any unique standards, and the construction of imperial tombs sometimes demonstrated the strength of a country.
History has said that after Liu Che ascended the throne, he began to build the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and one third of the world's tribute was offered to the ancestral temple, one for guests, and one for mountain mausoleum.
In other words, Emperor Wu of Han used one-third of the total national taxes as the cost of building the tomb and collecting burial items.
Zhu Yunyou was not that extravagant, and he didn't dare to do so. Lao Zhu was not that extravagant. However, the construction cost of Xiaoling Mausoleum must exceed one million taels of silver, and even one million taels of silver is part of it.
Lao Zhu has to pay attention to it. Xiaoling is the joint tomb of him and Empress Ma. His favorite eldest son is buried in the Dongling next to him. Several years later, his favorite eldest grandson also wants to sleep near Xiaoling.
, This can't be careless, the tombs of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
There were too many places that needed to spend money in the Ming Dynasty, so even if the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a lot of national strength now, if we were to say that we would govern the Yellow River, we would undoubtedly be a huge hero.
Even in some people's minds, they think that such a project is not inferior to the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, which is also one of the reasons for the demise of the Sui Dynasty. Projects that benefit future generations may not be a good thing for the current dynasty and emperors.
When it comes to the Yellow River, countless people have extremely special emotions about the Yellow River.
It nourishes both sides of the Yellow River, and the development of Chinese civilization is closely related to the Yellow River. There are also many legends or allusions, such as the saying "The saint of the Yellow River Qing Dynasty" is circulating.
But many people also know that the Yellow River is becoming increasingly unrestrained, and the continuous bursting of dams, etc. have also caused great losses.
To govern the Yellow River, this is not a matter of just talking casually. Many people know the difficulty of this matter.
So now it’s just a little bit of news, and many people don’t care about it. But it is said that the Hanlin Academy has indeed prepared a lot, and the British Emperor has also inquired about it. Even Emperor Hongwu, who seemed to be uninquiring about the government affairs, has summoned the Hanlin Bachelor.
Especially the Minister of Works Yan Zhenzhi, the emperor's confidant seemed to take this matter very seriously and seriously.
No matter what these people are thinking, Zhu Yunyou seems to be unable to care about so many things now. It is not that he is busy educating his children, but that some news from Goryeo has also been transmitted from various channels.
This is also a major event worthy of attention for Zhu Yunyou. He must be taken seriously. The war in Goryeo must be resolved this year. Zhu Yunyou does not have so much time to spend, and this year will establish the Ming Dynasty royal family there.
Vatican state.
As for Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, I don’t need to pay special attention. The Ming Dynasty royal army only needs to send a few naval warships. Zhu Yunyou only needs to wait now, and the king of Zhongshan Kingdom will soon be the Ming Dynasty to apologize.
A small country like Zhongshan really has no strength to resist in front of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty's strong strength is an unquestionable thing. However, even if the Ming Dynasty's national strength is strong, the Ming Dynasty still needs to deal with a lot of things, which requires a lot of resources and sometimes requires careful calculations.
Therefore, many people will doubt the British Emperor's determination to govern the Yellow River. After all, that matter is definitely not a trivial matter. Many people are very clear that once the governance of the Yellow River begins, it will involve a large amount of resources.
These things should be worrying about the emperor and the nobles in the court, as they need to manage the Ming Dynasty well.
Xiao Xiao Zhu doesn’t need to worry about these things. Xiao Xiao Zhu sitting on the chair in Wenhua Hall looks full of energy.
"Second uncle, may our Yulin Orphan go to this trip?" Xiao Xiao Zhu was not polite. After seeing Xu Yingxu, he asked directly, "We not only want the soldiers of the Beijing camp, but we also want the Yulin Orphan.
Guard the Central Army.”
Although Xu Yingxu was a little embarrassed, he insisted, "Go back to Your Highness, Yulin Orphans are still young at the end. Previously, many Yulin Orphans were transferred to the army north. In my opinion, Yulin Orphans were embarrassed to protect the central army.
”
Xiaoxiao Zhu is not arrogant either. Whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, he has taught Xiaoxiao Zhu some concepts. Xiaoxiao Zhu also knows that his identity is special, so he naturally knows that there are many things he cannot take risks at all.
Xiao Xiaozhu nodded and said, "That's it, the Yulin Orphan will not go this time, and will stay in the camp for training. This time, the Jinyiwei will still be accompanied by the Central Army Governor's Office. It should be taken out by the Central Army Governor's Office.
In the charter.”
Since Xiao Xiao Zhu did not require the Yulin orphan to be brought with her, Xu Yingxu had enough confidence at once.
The thing he fears the most is undoubtedly that the crown prince insists on his own. If such a situation is really like that, many people will probably have a headache.
But now it looks pretty good, and the crown prince still listens to the honest advice and advises. The crown prince doesn't seem to want to make things difficult for others, which makes many people feel a little relieved.
King Zhu Su, Zhou, also came. Although he belonged to Grandpa Xiaoxiao, even if it was King Zhou, Zhu Su could still put his position in the right place when facing Xiaoxiaoxiao. He is now Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
It is true that the emperor's eldest son is also quite popular with Lao Zhu.
But so what? He was only one of the many princes of the Ming Dynasty. If Emperor Hongwu hadn't been there, Zhu Xu wouldn't have thought that his identity was quite special.
Nowadays, many people only know His Highness the King of Wu of the Ming Dynasty and know that he was the younger brother of Emperor Yingxi. Many people almost forgot about the King of Zhou, or ignored it consciously.
One day, the emperor and another day, this is obviously not just a casual talk. The same is true for the royal family. Although it is now the "longest", the identity of the clan members really makes Zhu Shi look more noble.
When he arrived at Wenhua Hall, Zhu Qiu's luggage was neat and neat, "I pay homage to the Crown Prince, Prince Qianqiu."
Zhu Xu did this without any problem. In the ancestral teachings, Lao Zhu stipulated that when the prince met the emperor and the crown prince, he would first tell the etiquette of the king and the minister. There is nothing he could do about it. This is the Tian family, and some things cannot be careless.
The crown prince is the future emperor. It is obviously inappropriate to set up his identity in front of the crown prince. Zhu Su naturally understood this truth.
"Fifth Prince, don't be too polite." Xiao Xiao Zhu stood up with a smile and walked towards Zhu Sui, "Shuangquan, bring a chair for the fifth prince. Hurry up, you are not as good as Wang Daban, no wonder Grandpa Huang has been these years.
I have never liked you!"
Zhu Xu stopped talking. How could the eunuch who was in front of his father so easily serve him for more than ten years? What's more, this one was arranged by Zhu Yunyou in front of Lao Zhu back then.
If these two generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not particular, some outsiders would be frightened when they saw it.
Wang Cheng'en served Zhu Yunyou for more than ten years, but the eunuch who was holding seals by the British Emperor was arranged by Emperor Hongwu. The two things that followed Emperor Hongwu for more than ten years were the ones that Zhu Yunyou put in front of Lao Zhu.
Emperor Hongwu asked the clever Wang Chengen to serve the then crown prince and report the actions of the crown prince at any time. The crown prince was not polite and arranged for the diligent double-ticket to Lao Zhu, and he would report some of the matters of Emperor Hongwu to him at any time.
.
Lao Zhu didn't think it was taboo, didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu Yunyou's arrangements with him, nor did he think Zhu Yunyou was spying on any news. Zhu Yunyou didn't reject Wang Chengen, he knew that this was one of the manifestations of Lao Zhu's concern for him.
After this, the others were stunned. The emperors of the Zhu family really didn't care about some things.
Xiaoxiao Zhu didn't care what Zhu Su was thinking. After seeing Zhu Su sitting down, he said, "The Fifth Prince probably knows that we will go out in a few days. In addition to having already gone to the royal family of Peking Prefecture, our generation can go out.
All of them are taken out for a walk."
Zhu Xiao immediately replied, saying, "I received the order, and when I go back, I will read the jade certificate immediately. The age is consistent with the royal family, and they all follow me."
Xiao Xiaozhu was happy, but she still said, "When the time comes, let Aunt Baoqing's grandmother fall over, our family still needs an elder to follow."
As Lao Zhu’s youngest daughter, Princess Baoqing is only six years old now. However, Lao Zhu is not particularly concerned about this little daughter. In Lao Zhu’s heart, his daughter has always been less valued than her son, so Princess Baoqing’s mother is just a beauty.
'.
Others who gave birth to Lao Zhu and had children were basically "concubines". This also shows that Princess Baoqing is actually not very popular with Lao Zhu.
Xiao Xiaozhu continued at this time, "The Fifth Prince remembers to ask our aunts to accompany us, all of whom should be of the right age and not married. Our aunts also have to go there this time, maybe they will be accused of marriage."
Zhu Xu became serious this time. Some of his daughters, or some of his brothers and sisters, were actually not of the right age. However, the Zhu family had already grown up and they really had to consider marriage.
Freedom of marriage does not exist. Let’s not talk about the parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words. Many children of the royal family also need to consider ‘family matches’. The most important thing is that it has the nature of marriage.
Lao Zhu's daughters all married the descendants of the founding fathers. The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty must have been selected by the nobles. Everyone knows this. Even the daughter of the nobles is generally married to Lao Zhu.
descendants.
This time the crown prince went outing, it seemed that the crown prince brought the children of the royal family to contact each other. But letting the emperor's little sister follow him, it was not to take care of the crown prince or shock the royal family, because it was to prepare to investigate the children of the royal family, and possible
The noble children who will go there.
Zhu Xu must pay great attention to such things. His sect is not a decoration, but he really has to do a lot of things.
When he remembered something, Zhu Xu said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, my second daughter, should be at the age of marriage. I am ashamed of it, and I don't know when I had some contact with the son of the eldest son of the Prince of Zhongshan."
Zhu Yunyou immediately looked at Xu Yingxu, and Xu Yingxu was also stunned.
The conscience of heaven and earth, if you want to say Xianxunwei, you must be the old third son Xu Tianfu. Xu Maoxian, who was left by the third son, is such an honest child, why did you have any contact with His Highness the King of Zhou’s second daughter?
Zhu Xu didn't care about so much and said, "We have seen Xu Maoxian before. We are quite versatile and diligent. If Your Highness allows you, I feel that you can ask Your Highness to give you a marriage."
There is no problem asking Xiaoxiao Zhu to give his aunt the marriage. Because Xiaoxiao Zhu is the future successor of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is Zhu Su's daughter, and she can only be named the princess.
Xu Yingxu couldn't react at this time. It was not that his nephew had any contact with the second daughter of King Zhou. It was simply that His Highness the King of Zhou recognized Xu Maoxian, and he wanted to take the lead. His nephew,
A promising, sensible, and handsome, will definitely be very popular.
Xiao Xiaozhu was happy and said, "Okay, let's give you a marriage! That's right, let's decide on our cousin's affairs!"
Xu Yingxu was so angry that his nephew was cheated. And his nephew also fell into the big pit.
Zhu Xiao was very happy to smile. He found a good son-in-law for his daughter, which is worth being happy. As for whether this is a deceiving the prince, it is all the details that need not be cared about, and neither the Supreme Emperor nor the Majesty will care about it.
At worst, I can sneak out for a while to avoid the limelight. It is said that the King of Wu, a member of the Ming Dynasty, is best at this move, and Zhu Su would only sneer: This move is what we teach Yun Huang's nephew!
