"Father!"
"Grandpa Huang!"
The old man suddenly arrived, and Zhu Yunxi and the young princes quickly stood up to greet him. Especially the latter, the young princes who were dancing at the wine table just now, now stood with their hands tied, behaved like little adults.
The two youngest ones, Zhu Yi and Zhu Nan, trotted over. One of them grabbed the old man's big hand and said with a smile, "Father, please slow down. It's dark, so be careful where you step!"
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt a little funny. He had accidentally let these young princes learn his secret skill of being coquettish and clever with the old man.
The old man came over with a smile, looked at the dishes on the table, twitched his nose, and said with a smile, "The food is better than me!"
In fact, the food in the East Palace has always been better than that of the old man. He is a thrifty person all his life, and only needs two or three side dishes for each meal. But for his children and grandchildren, they have to find ways to eat and drink well.
Then, the old man's eyes fell on the jade pot containing wine, and he smiled and cursed, "Hey, I didn't drink, but you little kids drank first!"
"Grandpa Huang, please sit down!" Zhu Yunxi said before the young princes, "You haven't used it before, right? Give your grandsons a face and let them eat with you all the time. Your grandsons and several uncles, I'm waiting for you!" He said to his left and right, "What are you doing standing still? Bring us the bowls and chopsticks!"
The old man sat down calmly, looked at the children and grandchildren around him, smoothed his half-white beard and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll make an exception and let these little monkeys take a sip with us." He said with a hearty smile. Get up, "This can be considered family happiness!"
It can be seen that the old man is in a very good mood at the moment.
Remember https://m in one second.
The wine is not soju, but a tribute from Hunan. It is a rice wine with a sweet aftertaste. Although it is autumn now, it still has a bit of hot air. Before drinking this wine, I had to use well water to calm it down. When I drink it, it is sweet and cool. It's refreshing. Pour it into a jade cup, it's clear and transparent and pleasing to the eye.
After Zhu Yunxi poured the wine, the old man took a nice sip. Looking at the innocent looks of his younger sons, he smiled again. But then, his face changed towards Zhu Yunxi, the eldest grandson who had always been a sweetheart.
"We talked about that matter privately. They are still young. Why are you telling them this?"
"They are not much younger than our grandchildren. Uncle Shen Wang is already fourteen this year, and next year he will be old enough to discuss marriage!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, but in fact he was really complaining in his heart. The palms and backs of his hands were really full of flesh. What did the old man see? Not being used to himself, he deceived his younger sons.
"I'm still younger than you, but you're already a father!" The old man rolled his eyes at him, "You're not in the right shape!"
With these words, Zhu Yunxi always felt that something was wrong?
It seems that these young princes are all his uncles! Although he is a little older, he is also a junior! This is not formal, so it is a bit inappropriate to use it here!
But the old man favored the younger son. At this time, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to laugh twice and said, "My grandson didn't say anything!"
Unexpectedly, King Shen Zhu Mo, who was blushing at this time, didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or something, but he spoke directly and loudly said, "Father, I have the courage to ask my father to change my son's fiefdom. My son does not want to go to Liaoyang." , I am going to Goryeo and become the prince guarding the new land of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately complained in his heart. If he mentioned it at this time, he was afraid that the old man would talk about it again.
Unexpectedly, the old man did not open his mouth to object. Instead, he put down his chopsticks and said solemnly to King Shen, "Tell us why you want to go to Goryeo. That bitter cold place is different from the customs of the Ming Dynasty. Liaoyang can be as good as ?”
Zhu Mo paused slightly and looked at Zhu Yunxi.
The latter immediately gave this little Uncle Wang an encouraging look.
Zhu Mo's heart felt much more at ease, and he slowly but firmly said, "It's bitterly cold in Goryeo, and it's the same in Liaoyang. And I just heard from His Highness that it's actually colder in Goryeo than in Liaoyang."
As he said that, he turned his head and thought carefully before continuing, "Besides, Liaoyang is a military town. If my subjects were to be a vassal there, the court would have to spend a lot of money to build palaces for them and recruit civilians to cultivate the fields." , the cost will definitely be quite high.”
"But take Pyongyang as an example. It was originally an ancient city. The existing palaces in the city can be slightly repaired so that the children can move in. Moreover, the population and land are large enough for the children to be self-sufficient in the fiefdom!"
"My son is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. If he conquers Korea, the people of Korea will be grateful for God's grace. After my son arrives in the fiefdom, he will select talented people, light corvee and small taxes, and promote education. He will grant the people fields and suppress the wealthy families of Korea. He said Make the roads smooth, build schools, promote Chinese culture, punish evil and promote good, and govern with justice. In less than ten years, the people of Korea will be no different from the people of Ming Dynasty!"
Having said this, Zhu Mo thought again, lowered his head and added, "Actually, it is of little use for me to go to Liaoyang. In the northeast of Liaoning, there are the fourth brother of King Yan, the fifteenth brother of Liao King, and the twentieth brother Han. The king will immediately become a vassal. My sons and ministers think about it, they are not as rich as Pyongyang over there!"
The last sentence made Zhu Yunxi laugh. King Shen said so much, but the last sentence is actually the key. To be fair, Pyongyang, which the Koreans have regarded as an important town for hundreds of years, is naturally more prosperous than places such as Liaoyang Military Guard.
The old man looked at his youngest son in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The old man knows best what these boys are like. Because they are all his old sons, and he does not expect them to fight for the Ming Dynasty like their elder brothers in the future, so he has always pampered and raised them.
So these boys are proficient in everything in the palace, beating eunuchs and guards, catching birds in the royal garden, catching goldfish in water tanks, horse racing and fighting dogs. But when they are asked to study and learn, one by one becomes weaker than the other. Why did he suddenly say this today? So many reasonable words.
"Is this all your own imagination?" the old man asked.
Zhu Mo raised his head and said with some embarrassment, "His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun told this to Er Chen." After saying that, he quickly added, " Er Chen himself also thought that if he went to Liaoyang, the soldiers and horses would be no more than two guards. There are thousands of people, but the people under his rule are only 10,000 or 20,000, so the prince is not very interesting. If he is in Pyongyang, it will be called majestic!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled again. This silly boy said what he was thinking again. Liaoyang, Kaiyuan and other places are all newly built guard posts of the Liaodong capital. They are said to be cities, but in fact they are not as big as Buyuan. Well, it depends on the imperial court every year.
However, the old man didn't seem to pay much attention to the last words of his youngest son, and asked solemnly, "That's what I said! But you have to know that no matter how bad Liaoyang is, it is still the original place of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how good Pyongyang is, it is not the city of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The common people and us have different customs and languages. Basically, we are not the same kind! You are a young prince, let's just seal you there. Aren't you afraid that others will disobey you? Aren't you afraid that others will deal with you secretly?"
Before King Shen could say anything, Tang Wang Zhu Huang pulled his neck and shouted, "Father, Your Highness the Grand Sun told your ministers that when they arrive in a new place, they have fat slices in one hand and a big blade in the other. Which one will they choose?"
King Shen also said, "His Royal Highness also told me that now that Korea is occupied, all Koreans are not allowed to serve as soldiers, and civilian bow and arrow weapons are strictly controlled. How dare they do it with their bare hands? I don't want too many sons, ten thousand... ....No, with thousands of troops and a few veteran generals, we can make the people in the fief docile and obedient!"
The old man immediately turned back and looked at Zhu Yunxi, "You don't know how to teach them how to order? What about fat meat slices and big knife slices? Do you think you are just pulling a string of strings and pulling a pole? Do you want to be the king of the mountain and eat green forest rice?"
Zhu Yunxi innocently spread his hands, "Isn't this the same routine you used when you started out?"
"You!" The old man was furious and started to take off his shoes. But as soon as his hand touched the cloth shoes, he cursed, "These shoes are new. I'll slap you blindly!"
Although he said this, when he looked at his younger sons, his eyes became softer, and he nodded and said, "After all, I have grown up, and I have my own ideas. I can tell about anything. I am a Chou Yin Mao." !”
Seeing the old man's approval, Zhu Yunxi quickly filled the old man's glass with wine and said, "Grandpa Huang, although these uncles are young, they all grew up around you. Under your words and deeds, they are naturally talented and intelligent far beyond others. If you are courageous and strategic, then Not to mention, there are no men in our Zhu family who are unwilling to stand up for their own affairs. My grandson, look, if these little uncles are really granted the title of Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty will have a few more virtuous kings!"
The old man held the wine cup and said, "Stop flattering me!"
