Chapter 698: Their respective positions

Naturally, the Wuxun family has their own way of survival and their foundation.

Many people would say that those martial artists were born into wealthy families, were born with a golden key in their mouths, and lived in fine clothing and food all their lives. Many people also think that many martial artists have little education and are mostly dandies. In fact, some noble scholars cannot see it.

Go to Wu Xun.

But these people may not know that the children of these martial arts families can enjoy wealth and honor because their fathers and ancestors put their heads in their belts and fought hard to achieve wealth and glory.

Moreover, although there are indeed many dandy children among these martial arts disciples, there is also no shortage of some pillars of the imperial court. Many martial arts disciples have indeed assumed the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty's Five Army Commandery and controlled the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Square force.

What's more, once a war breaks out, it is basically these martial arts disciples who seem to be enjoying wealth and wealth who will go into battle.

If you win, you will naturally be granted the title of a marquis, a general, and glory and wealth. However, once you lose troops and lose generals, it is a good thing to die in battle and receive mourning and honors after death. It is also normal to be exonerated after death and to be questioned while alive.

This is no joke, this is how the Wuxun family survives, and this is the meaning of their existence in the court. The Wuxun family can indeed be envied because of their father's and ancestors' contributions, but they are not just all about eating, drinking and having fun.

Or just a simple court beetle.

As the second son of Zhongshan King Xu Da, Xu Yingxu also used himself as bait to lure the Tatar vanguard army. Only by fighting to the death did he give the army the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the enemy. As a result, he lost one of his hands. Now it is difficult to use it again.

Go into battle.

As for Chang Mao and Chang Sen, they are the second and third sons of Chang Yuchun, but many people also know that they are the second and third uncles of Zhu Yunyong. Even so, they also went to Goryeo to build Busan.

Three guards, to resist the invasion of the Koreans.

No matter if they are born into wealth, their starting point is indeed very high, and they can indeed get more resources and opportunities. But many people also know that the Wu Xun family does need to fight for their lives, and they are not complete rice bugs.

.

The most important thing is that the Wu Xun family should know their fundamentals and should also know that there are some taboos that cannot be touched.

Liao Yong of the Deqing Marquis Mansion was too close to the civil servants. Only if the emperor was happy would that be weird. They didn't even take it seriously. They were still so complacent and high-profile that they regarded themselves as disciples of the great Confucian Fang Xiaoru. This was a problem.

Who doesn't know that the emperor is not very close to Confucianism, and who doesn't know that the scholars in Shilin have some complaints against the emperor. But the Liao Yong brothers are not shy at all. This is simply causing trouble for the emperor.

These two guys have truly abandoned themselves to the Wuxun family and have forgotten their positions and what they should do.

Xu Huizu did feel that there was something wrong with the tutoring in Deqinghou Mansion, and Liao Yong and the others were indeed ignorant.

It’s just that we can only scratch the surface. After all, although the Xu family and the Liao family have some friendship, they are not deep. Xu Huizu has some contacts with Liao Yong’s father, Liao Quan, but he has contacts with his sons and nephews like Liao Yong.

There are relatively few.

It's useless to say too much. It would be best if you can listen and advise. If you want to seek death, you can't blame others.

Zhu Yunyong didn't care about those things. It was only right that he did what he should do. An emperor naturally has the position and thoughts of an emperor.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood at this time. He looked at Zhu Yunyong and asked, "At this age, we are still running to Xiaoling. Tell us what is going on. If we were left behind, you might have some trouble."

I can’t even speak clearly.”

Zhu Yunyong couldn't help laughing and said, "In this way, it still makes sense. We just went over there to pay homage to the emperor's grandmother, father, and mother. At Grandpa Huang's age, I guess some people said

Something ominous."

Xiao Xiao Zhu, who was next to him, expressed his opinion unwillingly, "Originally, my great-grandfather was still going to the imperial mausoleum at such an old age. If he wanted to go, he would have died and been carried there. How could he walk there by himself!"

"Grandpa Huang, your grandson is still filial and measured!" Zhu Yunyong said hurriedly, "We were not sensible in the early years, no matter how bold we were, we did not dare to act carelessly. If you look at Yin'er again, I would say that we just didn't keep our mouth shut.

, Dare to say anything to the outside world!"

Lao Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu and said with a smile, "He is different from you. He is pure and filial and doesn't hide his thoughts in front of us. You are not the same. You said you are ignorant. Why don't you do it at your age?

Understand? Let me tell you, you are the one with bad intentions, and you are the one relying on our favor to have no inhibitions."

Zhu Yunyong smiled and then said, "When the emperor was here, he said that the emperor had forgotten his son after having a grandson. But after we have a great-grandson, the emperor no longer cares about me.

"

Lao Zhu laughed loudly. Although what Zhu Yunyong said was a bit exaggerated, it actually made some sense to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yunyong smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Emperor, some courtiers do have some opinions on this trip to Xiaoling. They all say that this is unlucky, and they also say that it is not in line with etiquette for Grandpa Emperor to visit Grandma Huang."

Lao Zhu kept a straight face, obviously some of them were not happy, "Huh, they are the ones who have been making noise these years. I am afraid that they will say that the king is the guide for the minister, the father is the guide for the son, and the husband is the guide for the wife. Let's go.

The Xiaoling Mausoleum just doesn’t comply with the etiquette system!”

Isn't that what it is? In fact, Lao Zhu also understands the truth. It's not like he hasn't thought much about visiting Xiaoling over the years, but even though Purple Mountain is just outside Yingtianfu City, Lao Zhu has actually never been there very much.

After all, as soon as he had such thoughts, the courtiers jumped out to stop him.

Although Lao Zhu is indeed overbearing, and often does not care about the opinions of some civil servants and generals. However, he is not completely unable to listen to advice. Sometimes Lao Zhu is good at accepting advice.

Lao Zhu didn't say anything more. He knew many things in his heart. The emperor was indeed the supreme human being and could be said to have absolute power to control the world. However, the emperor did need to restrain himself in many cases.

Lao Zhu understands this truth, and Zhu Yunyong naturally understands this truth as well. Many people think that the domineering Emperor Yingshi would not be particularly upset even if he was sometimes advised by some ministers or even unable to carry out his own will.

A wise emperor naturally knows which opinions should be adopted and which opinions should not be ignored.

Xiao Xiao Zhu was very busy and squeezed into Lao Zhu's arms and said, "Great-grandfather, can we also make it to Purple Mountain in the future?"

"No!" Zhu Yunyong said directly and decisively, "We were born here, ascended the throne here, and will be buried here in the future. But you are different. Although you were born in Yingtian Mansion, you will definitely have to move the capital with us in the future.

Peking. You should choose the mausoleum there so that future generations can stay there with peace of mind, instead of thinking about wasting people and money and moving to respond to the Heavenly Mansion."

Lao Zhu could see that Xiao Xiao Zhu was unhappy, but he also persuaded him gently, "What your father said makes sense. It would be unreasonable for him to be buried in the future. But now that he has ascended the throne here, and the construction of the mausoleum has begun, even if

The courtiers have no choice but to admit their opinions. If you don't succeed, if you are buried again, all future emperors will have to be buried back."

If his great-grandson could also be buried, Lao Zhu would certainly be very happy in his heart. That would be a family reunion.

But as the emperor, Lao Zhu was also very rational. He also needed to take into account some of the realities of the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't just do everything based on his own wishes.

Zhu Yunyong also said patiently, "That's the reason. After you ascend the throne, you will build a mausoleum on the other side of Peiping. That is where our Ming Emperor will return and where he will die. The burial in Tianfu is indeed too noisy, and it also blocks the place for future descendants.

.”

Things like ancestral rules are still very influential. It is obviously not easy for future generations to overthrow some of the rules established by Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunyong, and they may even be unable to resist at all.

Zhu Yunyong tried his best to prevent some of the "eternal strategies" proposed by Lao Zhu before, of course, because of such a motive. Otherwise, Zhu Yunyong would definitely be depressed and could only accept those 'eternal strategies'.

Lao Zhu was indeed full of confidence in his eternal strategy, and felt that future generations would be able to govern the Ming Dynasty according to the rules he set. Because Lao Zhu had always been confident, he could transform from a novice and beggar to a nine-five-year-old master.

, Lao Zhu will certainly not underestimate his ability.

It's just that over the years, some things that his precious grandson has figured out have changed some of Lao Zhu's views.

He also knew that if he followed some of the rules he set, his grandson would also be bound and unable to do certain things.

Although Lao Zhu is indeed worried that such changes will make it impossible for future generations to better govern the country. After all, although Lao Zhu is willing to believe that his descendants are very promising, he does not rule out that one or two foolish kings will appear.

Even though he has all kinds of worries, no matter what, Lao Zhu can only choose to accept such a thing now. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Lao Zhu has indeed thought of many things, but there is really nothing he can do about it.

You really still have to worry about what’s behind you.

Although Xiao Xiao Zhu is a little unhappy, it's hard to say anything now. Of course, this is because Xiao Xiao Zhu is young now, so he talks about what is in his heart.

But when he grows up, he may not remember what he said now. When he really becomes the emperor, this kid's thoughts and stance may have changed, which is also very important.

Normal things.

After all, with the change of age and experience, some ideas have changed, which is also a very normal thing. With the change of cognition, some thoughts in the heart have changed, which is naturally also a normal thing.

Xu Miaoqing also came over at this time and said respectfully, "Grandpa Huang, the scriptures handwritten by grandson's wife are ready. I hope Grandpa Huang will read them."

Lao Zhu patted Xiao Zhu's butt and said to Xu Miaoqing, "That's good. It would be more filial to you to copy the scriptures enshrined in front of your imperial grandmother. If others copy them, you can't get past them."

It can be said that Zhu Yunyong is not surprised at all when Lao Zhu said such words. If Lao Zhu didn't say this, Zhu Yunyong would be very surprised. Because in Zhu Yunyong's eyes, Lao Zhu is an out-and-out old feudal. For some

'Etiquette', Lao Zhu has always been very strict with others.

As for Xu Miaoqing, although her hands are sore from copying scriptures these days, she is still enjoying it. If Zhu Yunyong's other concubines are also qualified to copy scriptures and enshrine them in front of Queen Ma's soul, Xu Miaoqing must be unbalanced in her heart.

This is no joke. After all, they are still a young couple. After nearly ten years of getting along with each other, Zhu Yunyong can be said to have a better understanding of Xu Miaoqing's character.

As long as she can show her identity, Xu Miaoqing doesn't mind suffering a little. It's something she cares about, and she will be happy with it. Her dignity and treatment are indeed the envy of many women, including Zhu Yunyong's other concubines.

Some dignity and some treatment can only be enjoyed by the queen, and others can only be envious of them.

Lao Zhu will naturally not be careless about the offerings that are enshrined in front of the soul of his deceased wife. Even if they are handwritten by his grandson's wife, Lao Zhu will inspect them carefully and will never relax his requirements at all.

It seems that Xu Miaoqing also knows very well that this matter is not only her dignity, but also her responsibility and filial piety. Therefore, the handwriting is clear and she does not dare to be careless. Xu Miaoqing did copy these scriptures very carefully.

Lao Zhu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Our family is like this. Your grandmother taught us how to read and write. Her handwriting was beautiful and elegant, but our handwriting was bold and powerful. The emperor's handwriting when he was a child, we all

I don’t dare to take it out, it’s too strong.”

Zhu Yunyong was happy and said, "Grandma Huang didn't teach you how to read many words. Grandpa Huang learned it by reading scriptures when he was in the monk temple."

Lao Zhu glared at Zhu Yunyong and said, "That's what your grandmother taught you. Even if we read some scriptures in the temple, how can we read them well?! Your calligraphy is the same as ours. It's up to people to see the calligraphy. Our Lao Zhu family

All men are of majestic nature."

This is true, Lao Zhu's calligraphy level is still very good, especially good at running style and cursive script. Although it is often said to be a bit casual and natural, and not as laid out as some calligraphers in terms of composition, it is indeed majestic and beautiful.

Let it go and do it in one go.

Old Zhu smiled and touched Little Zhu's head, "Your handwriting is the worst! You are really our great-grandson. I have to find you a wife who can write in the future!"

Xiao Xiao Zhu immediately smiled and said, "Then we will choose from Wen Chen's family. We will not choose the daughter of Wu Xun's family."

Looking at Xiao Xiaozhu, it is still early for this child to get married. However, he should also plan and conduct some investigations in advance. It is never too early to prepare for such a thing. Who knows that Xiao Xiaozhu is the foundation of the country!
Chapter completed!
