Chapter 76 Grandparents and Grandchildren
Zhu Xiongying, who is tired of life, naturally has special treatment. For example, he goes on a rampage, but there are no guards or eunuchs to stop him in the imperial city. On the contrary, many people started to get busy at this time, and the gates of the palace opened. , many maids and eunuchs carried lanterns to guide Zhu Xiongying.
This is Zhu Xiongying's treatment. Of course, Da Zhu will also have such treatment. This is also the only three people in Ming Dynasty who have such treatment.
Zhu Xiongying gently pushed open the door of Qianqing Palace and sat silently by the couch. People's hearts are fleshy, and Zhu Xiongying could not be clearer about Lao Zhu's affection and love for him over the years.
At the beginning, Zhu Xiongying did have some utilitarian ideas, but now he is too naive.
After waving to the maids, the eunuch left, but Lao Zhu, who was lying on the couch, suddenly woke up.
He quickly turned over and sat up. Lao Zhu grabbed Zhu Xiongying's arm and asked, "Why are you back so soon? You kid doesn't know how to take care of your body. It's very cold in spring. What should you do if you get frozen?"
Only then did Zhu Xiongying say with a smile, "I'm worried about Grandpa Huang, my grandson will be back soon."
Lao Zhu felt warm in his heart, and then shouted, "Don't let me prepare ginger soup for my grandson! Hot water, hurry up and help your grandson wash up!"
Zhu Xiongying also laughed and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is fine. Just wash his feet, but it will delay Grandpa Huang's rest."
"It's okay, it's good that our eldest grandson is back." Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile, and then looked at Shuangquan, "Well boy, how long has it been since our grandson came back?"
Shuangquan immediately knelt down and whispered, "Back to the Emperor, His Highness has returned with a stick of incense..."
"You dog slave, why don't you call me!" Lao Zhu got angry and wanted to get up and beat someone.
Zhu Xiongying smiled and held Lao Zhu's shoulders and said, "It's my grandson who doesn't allow them to disturb Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang is just lying down. It's cold outside. Grandson takes a bath, and Grandpa Huang chats with his grandson. Okay." Right? Grandpa Huang always said in the past that he doesn’t sleep much as he is getting older, so let’s indulge him a little bit today, and Grandpa Huang will talk to his grandson.”
Lao Zhu nodded repeatedly, but he was still criticizing Zhu Xiongying, "When you come back, just wake us up. We thought you should come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I said you don't need to come back, so you go Beiping, you haven’t taken your breath yet, this bumpy road has been so tiring! Who is your Grandpa Huang, and what kind of things have you never encountered before?!”
Zhu Xiongying took off his cloak and said, "My grandson knows that Grandpa Huang is a great hero and has experienced great storms. However, my grandson also knows that Grandpa Huang values family ties the most. If my grandson does not come back at this time, my grandson will not feel at ease." "
Lao Zhu put on the mattress and sat on the couch. After a long silence, he said, "Ying'er, you said before that your father and your uncles were afraid of us, but we didn't take it seriously. It's just that your eighth uncle made such a fuss. Once it came out, we felt unhappy."
Zhu Xiongying could only say comfortingly, "Eighth uncle is timid, and the Hu Weiyong case has been involved too much in recent years. It is normal for eighth uncle to be frightened. Grandfather, I can't blame you for this matter. My grandson knows that many imperial uncles have been involved in these years. There have been a lot of troubles, and Grandpa Huang just punished me a little, and Uncle Eight should know about this."
This is not Zhu Xiongying's exaggeration. The main reason is that among these young Zhu's descendants, there are a lot of troubles. But more often than not, Lao Zhu just scolded and admonished a little, without really punishing him severely.
This time, King Tan Zhu Zi and Princess Tan set themselves on fire, which probably many people did not expect.
The maids filed in, and the eunuchs brought the bathtubs, and hot water was naturally prepared in time. Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, wanted to take a hot bath, so he naturally did not need to worry about running out of water, as there would be hot water at any time.
water.
While soaking in the tub, Zhu Xiongying said, "Uncle Eighth can't think straight this time. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Lao Zhu sighed and said, "We were just afraid that he would think too much, so we sent people over to summon him to the capital. Who would have thought that the kid couldn't think about it anymore? We have already sent people to investigate, fearing that someone said something nonsense in front of him.
"
This is also Lao Zhu's character. The main reason is that Lao Zhu is more suspicious. Furthermore, even if his own family members do something wrong, Lao Zhu can still feel at ease and find reasons to help excuse him. If his descendants make mistakes, Lao Zhu will do a lot of things.
Treating someone as someone who doesn’t know is often quite conniving.
Lao Zhu was very ruthless and severe towards civil and military officials, nobles and relatives. But towards his own flesh and blood, Lao Zhu could not be truly ruthless.
Although it was already late at night, Zhu Xiongying and Lao Zhu didn't seem to intend to sleep at this time, and they still needed to chat.
Lao Zhu may have something on his mind, and moreover, he is very energetic and sleeps less. Although Zhu Xiongying is tired now, he can keep his spirits up. He knows that Lao Zhu is very sad at this time, and he must be at this time.
Chat with Lao Zhu.
"Lao Ba can't think about it this time, and we have no choice." Lao Zhu turned over and continued to talk, "Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, how can we be more powerful than a tiger? Lao Ba, are you so afraid of us?
"
Zhu Xiongying then comforted him and said, "Grandfather, the Eighth Uncle really had a different idea this time. Speaking of which, among the princes of the vassal, the Eighth Uncle is the most responsible and does not have many bad deeds. In the final analysis, the Eighth Uncle is still the most responsible.
My uncle got distracted and has nothing to do with Grandpa Huang."
Lao Zhu forced a smile, and then said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, we have actually thought about it. You said before that we are too powerful. We have to do this. If we treat other sons better, they should start
Think about it, we are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we have to think about the country."
"You know Li Shimin, right? He is the fourth son's favorite among all the kings, so the prince panicked." Lao Zhu said earnestly, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "It's not that we don't like your other emperor uncles, it's just that we don't dare to like them, and we don't dare to let them
They have other ideas!"
There is actually no problem in saying so. After all, Lao Zhu was the founding emperor and naturally had great power in his hands.
Even though many civil and military officials and nobles are closely bound to Prince Zhu Biao, if Lao Zhu really wants to save money, although it will definitely break his muscles and bones, it does not necessarily mean that he cannot do such a thing.
In the final analysis, the power in the hands of the founding emperor like Lao Zhu is completely different from that of some middle and later emperors. What's more, Lao Zhu is still a ruthless man. Looking through the dynasties, among the founding emperors, there is no one like Lao Zhu.
There are also quite few rights.
Zhu Xiongying was just chatting with Lao Zhu. Actually, this was not the first time Lao Zhu had experienced the matter of a white-haired man giving a black-haired man a gift, because he also had some princes who had not grown up.
For example, Lao Zhu's ninth son was granted the title of King of Zhao, but died when he was one year old. However, this time Lao Ba committed suicide. This was Lao Zhu's first adult son to die, and he died in such a way, so naturally he died.
This made Lao Zhu even more difficult to accept.
At this time, he didn't know what to say. At this time, Zhu Xiongying could only comfort Lao Zhu more. It seemed that this was more in line with what he did.
After chatting until late at night, Lao Zhu suddenly sat up and said, "Ying'er, just rest for now, we are going to court."
"Grandpa Huang will not go to court. Father, just go and manage politics." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, just talk to your grandson."
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand to push Zhu Xiongying's hand away, and said angrily, "You dare to say that to us! Even your father would not dare to act like this in front of us! How can we delay the important matters of the imperial court?
"
Zhu Xiongying didn't care about these things, but said confidently, "My father could have taken over the government a long time ago, so it's no big deal. Grandpa Huang is quite old, and in ordinary people's homes, he should be able to support himself at this age."
"Ying'er, do you think we really make your imperial uncles afraid?" Lao Zhu still had doubts in his heart and suddenly asked again, "We can't!"
Zhu Xiongying was also happy and did not give Lao Zhu face at all, "Grandpa Huang, in the whole world, even the grandson is not afraid of Grandpa Huang. Even the father will be afraid of Grandpa Huang's anger.
Especially after the death of the emperor's grandmother, once the emperor's grandfather makes a decision, no one else can say anything."
This time it was Lao Zhu's turn to be a little dazed. He had not realized these things before, and naturally no one dared to say this in front of him. But now, he seemed to understand some things.
Now the only one who has rushed to mention this in front of Lao Zhu is naturally Zhu Xiongying!
