If someone can disobey it, he is just talking nonsense and empty words.
And people who don't follow the rules are often the ones who make the rules. Because in the hands of such people, in addition to rules, there is a more powerful weapon, that is, power.
After Zhu Yunxi almost arbitrarily selected the successor of the Qin vassal, all officials in the court, both civil and military, were shocked to find that the once gentle and elegant grandson of the emperor was so easy to use power.
A king who is good at using power is always feared.
After the court gathering dispersed, Zhu Yunxi summoned Zhu Shangli, the second son of King Qin, in the East Palace. He was born in the seventeenth year of Hongwu and is now just over eleven years old. He is the seventeenth grandson of the old man.
Nowadays, the sons of all the vassal princes are studying in the capital, and so is he. This child is a bit thin, and has always been unassuming among the emperor's grandchildren. His temperament is a bit weak and timid, and the old man does not like it.
Sir, see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!
Seventeenth brother, please get up quickly! In Jingren Hall, Zhu Yunxi didn't wait for the other party to salute, and smiled and helped him up.
Because of the bad news about King Qin, Zhu Shanglie had long changed into plain clothes and was full of sadness.
The etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be abolished! Zhu Shanglie said.
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi and found that he was also wearing plain clothes. He was a little surprised, Your Highness?
Your father was Gu's biological uncle. He passed away. As a junior, Gu naturally had to mourn in plain clothes! Zhu Yunxi patted the other party on the shoulder, motioned for the other party to sit down, and said, Gu sees your eyes are red these days.
I must have cried a lot. The saddest thing in the world is the loss of a loved one. I had experienced this feeling myself when I was alone!
After all, he was still a young man. When Zhu Shanglie heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he could no longer bear the sadness in his heart. He choked and said, Your Highness, when will I be able to go home? I want to see my father again!
One sentence that expresses true feelings is worth a thousand words. In Zhu Yunxi's heart, he felt sad when he thought of the past.
You can go back at any time, and the Jinwu Guards and Dianqian Army are ready to escort you along the way! Zhu Yunxi said softly.
The Tian family is different from ordinary people's families, and the King of Qin Zhu Xi was poisoned and died violently. The court had to confirm the etiquette and status before allowing his sons to go back to attend the funeral.
Sir, thank you so much, Your Highness! Zhu Shanglie couldn't help but burst into tears. When I came to the capital, my father sent me and my eldest brother out of the capital. He also diligently told me to be obedient in the capital. My loving father's smile is still in front of me, but...
..But Yin and Yang are forever separated!
Cheer up! Zhu Yunxi patted the other party's shoulder again and consoled him. Your grief is felt by me. When Gu was eight years old, his mother passed away, and later his father passed away. That kind of bone-chilling pain is so painful that people can't bear to live, but people before and after them still have it.
Hold on!
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Shanglie who was crying. Besides, your identity will be different in the future. You are the successor of the King of Qin and the head of the Qin vassal. In addition to your father's death, there are many things to do.
You do it.
Not only do you have to do it, but you also have to do it well. Grandpa Huang and Gu have high expectations for you!
I am determined to live up to the imperial grandfather and His Highness... As he spoke, Zhu Shanlie raised his head in astonishment, his eyes full of horror, Your Highness, I...
At the court meeting, I made you the King of Qin! Zhu Yunxi slapped you hard twice. From now on, you will be the Qin Fan in Xi'an, the head of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. The important responsibility of the Qin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty will fall on your shoulders!
I am only the second son, and there is an elder brother above me! Zhu Shanglie said in a panic, how can I take on such a big responsibility?
Are you ready to disobey Nigu? Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi lowered his face.
Zhu Shanglie knelt down and said anxiously, I don’t dare, I never dared to expect that the king would fall on my head! As he spoke, he started to speak incoherently, I, I was really scared, and I didn’t have any idea in my mind!
There is nothing to be afraid of. Although you are a bit weak-tempered, you are a candidate with good talent, learning and moral character. Such a big scandal happened in the Qin Dynasty. Of course, to establish a king, you must establish a virtuous person! Zhu Yunxi looked down at the other party. Although you are young, you have
Gu is supporting you, but are you still worried that you won’t be able to sit still? You have to understand Gu’s good intentions!
Originally, the ministers said that they would give the seat to your brother. But you also know his biological mother. A person trained by a woman with such a moral character really cannot let Gu Gu rest assured!
Therefore, I have chosen you. Don’t let me down, and don’t follow in your father’s footsteps. When you go back, you will be a benevolent and virtuous vassal king!
Although Zhu Shanglie is young and weak-tempered, he is also the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor and is by no means a stupid person. After a little thought, you will understand the meaning.
But I, I don’t even have anyone around me who can make up my mind!
Zhu Yunxi smiled, it doesn't matter. When you return to Xi'an, the guild will select a few staff for you to help you with government affairs. There are also Qin vassal generals. Those who can be used by you will be kept. Those who cannot be used by you will be kept.
, just transfer him somewhere else!
Seventeenth brother, it’s still the same sentence. You are the person chosen by Gu, and you are the new king chosen by Gu despite the criticism of the officials. With Gu behind you, you don’t need to be afraid. In everything, if you hesitate, you can
Talk to me, I will help you make up your mind!
Zhu Shanglie's face was still stained with tears, and he kowtowed, "My lord, thank you for your kindness!"
~~~
The news that the Qin vassal had established a new king spread immediately after the court meeting and became a hubbub.
The place where the imperial grandsons live in the West Palace of the Forbidden City is even more controversial.
However, the residence of Zhu Shangbing, the eldest son of King Zhu Jianshu of Qin, was silent. Although there were many people sitting in the room, no one spoke.
Zhu Shangbing sat on the stool with a gloomy face. Beside him, the brothers of King Yan Zhu Di's family also frowned.
I was puzzled, why wasn't the sixteenth younger brother ascending the throne? In the silence, Zhu Gaoxu said carelessly, "You are the eldest son!" Then he said to the haggard Zhu Gaochi beside him, "Boss, tell me, is this true?"
Zhu Gaochi was originally in Kaifeng to deal with the disaster, but his health was so bad that he fell ill as soon as he arrived in the disaster area. Moreover, he was too fat and had difficulty moving, so he returned to the capital earlier than Zhu Yunxi.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Shangbing and said, The imperial edict has been issued, sixteenth brother, please look away!
What did Bage say? Zhu Gaochi was the eighth among the emperor's grandsons, so Zhu Shangbing called Bage. It must be because his younger brother was not good enough, so the emperor's grandfather chose Shang Lie!
Zhu Gaochi looked at him carefully and smiled. You are wrong. This matter was really not decided by the emperor's grandfather. It was the emperor's grandson, Qian Gang, who made the arbitrary decision to choose the seventeenth younger brother!
Zhu Shangbing's hand suddenly grabbed his pants, and then he quickly let go and smiled slightly. "My younger brother has a casual temperament. It's good to be a rich and idle man!"
You're stupid! Zhu Gaoxu said, "What kind of rich and idle man can you do if you don't do it when there is a vassal king with a lot of troops? What should be yours, but it is snatched away at will, don't you feel upset at all?"
Second child, please stop saying a few words! Zhu Gaochi said, are there any people as comforting as you?
As he said that, he smiled at Zhu Shangbing, "Sixteenth Brother, as I said before, please be more open-minded. There is no obstacle in the world that you can't overcome. Although you failed to inherit the title, you are still the eldest son of your second uncle and the grandson of the imperial grandfather.
No one dares to look down upon you, let alone make you angry!
Besides, although the second uncle is gone, you still have my father, fifth uncle and other close uncles. They will not watch you suffer, and they will definitely protect you.
At this point, he sighed again. In fact, among all the royal uncles, the one my father respects the most is his second uncle. He always taught us that when his second uncle mounted his horse to fight, my father only knew how to ride a horse and hunt. He said that his second uncle was an upright person.
A good man.
When I came to Beijing, my father also told me to get close to you two brothers. We are close cousins, and we should be like-minded.
After Zhu Shangbing heard this, he still smiled noncommittally, but there was somewhat of a smile in his eyes.
In fact, Bage is also grieving for you, but what can he do? Zhu Gaochi sighed again, don't think too much about these things. The top priority now is to go home and arrange the funeral of your second uncle. You are the eldest son, and some things are more difficult than you think.
But you go. Although the seventeenth brother is the new king selected by the emperor's grandson, he is still young and does not have your foundation and prestige in the Qin vassal.
As an older brother, you should teach your younger brother well. He is still young, so you have to watch over him and don't let him act carelessly and do anything that makes people laugh!
As Zhu Gaochi spoke, he looked at Zhu Shangbing's face.
Talking is like a stew. It doesn't have to be over high heat. Three-thirds of the heat is enough. The rest is to let the ingredients slowly cook in the pot.
If the fire gets too big, the dish will be ruined.
Only when the heat is right can it be a good dish.
Then, Zhu Gaochi stood up and said, "The second brother, the third brother, and the sixteenth brother are going back to the fiefdom soon. Let's not disturb them here. Let's go!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui reluctantly stood up and followed him.
Eighth brother, tenth brother! According to the ranking among brothers, Zhu Shangbing called the three sons of King Yan, brother, and sent them off not far away!
Stay! Zhu Gaochi sighed and said goodbye. I wonder when you and I, brothers, will see each other again. Remember to write to me more often! As he said that, he took out a stack of gold tickets that could be redeemed immediately from his wide sleeves.
, put it into the opponent's hand and hold it for self-defense!
This... Zhu Shangbing waved his hand, what did Bago mean? How could the younger brother take it?
Hey, take it! Zhu Gaochi held the other party's hand tightly. If you were the King of Qin, I wouldn't have to give you these dirty things. But now... Hey, you haven't been awarded the title of king now, so you can use the money in the future.
There are so many places for you! As a brother, how can I bear to see you suffer!
