Chapter 65 State Funeral (2)

Although the old man repeatedly emphasized that his longevity should not be held in a grand manner, the festive atmosphere in Beijing has become increasingly strong. There are people talking about it everywhere in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants.

This is a happy event and a good thing!

Even if there are long-lived old men in the family, children and grandchildren have to spare no effort to hold their birthdays. Because long-lived itself represents God's favor and favor, and is also a symbol of the prosperity of the family.

The same is true for a dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has been in its founding for more than 30 years. The old emperor of the Great Martial Arts is still there, and the empire is thriving. This is a good omen of prosperity and peace.

In recent days, the vassal kings from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another. The first one is Zhu Jing (fu) in Kaiping (hbts) and Zhu Zhaohui (hui) of King Lu of Yanzhou.

King Zhu Jing of Qi was never very outstanding among the vassal kings. When he was young, he followed his brothers, King Qin, Jin and Yan, and others to command troops outside the frontier. After the vassal, he lived his own life in a regular manner. He did not have good things, nor did he have bad things.

But this is just a superficial matter. Zhu Yunxi's seventh uncle was not a good man. He and Zhu Zi, the eighth son of the emperor who died of self-immolation in the 23rd year of Hongwu, were both the same mother and were born by Concubine Da Ding.

The death of the King of Tan is definitely the old man's rebellion in the palace and in the court, and no one can mention it. Even Zhu Yunqiu has heard of it a little, but does not know the truth.

The official statement was that in the 23rd year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong was convicted and implicated the King of Tan. The old man summoned him to the capital. He was frightened and brought his wife to burn himself together.

It sounds like nonsense. Hu Weiyong is a minister, and he is a prince. How can they get together? Besides, no one in the world knows the old man’s character of protecting his shortcomings. He is a typical wife who is good to others and his son is his own relative. How can he sit down and watch his son burn himself?

In fact, the seventh-year-old Mr. Zhu Jing was very good to him back then. The eighth-year-old Zhu Zi was deeply loved among the princes because she was very handsome and eloquent.

Someone in the palace said in private that the bad King of Tan is in this face, and his temperament is extremely yd...

However, in Zhu Yunxi's opinion, this is all nonsense.

Some truths will never be seen once they are covered up, but the two brothers, the same mother and brother, are different from other princes, that is, their biological mother, Concubine Ding.

Concubine Ding was originally the beloved concubine of the old man's old enemy Chen Youliang, but was later included in the room by the old man. These founding emperors all liked this tone, not only wanted to kill the enemy, but also had to sleep with other people's wife robbed their money.

As for King Lu Zhu Zhaohui, Zhu Yunyu, who is the same generation as Zhu Yunyu, the son of King Lu Huang Zhu Tan who died of excessive elixirs, his identity in this room is much more prominent than the eldest son and the eighth son.

The biological mother of Zhu Tan, the king of Luhuang, is the daughter of Concubine Guo Ning, the younger sister of Duke of Shaanxi and the Guo brothers of the Marquis of Wuding, and the true blood of the nobles of Huaixi.

Zhu Tan died long ago, Zhu Zhaohui was his only son. He just turned eleven this year. This time he went to Beijing, which was the first time he had come to see the old man. Therefore, although he and the King of Qi came to Beijing, the old man immediately summoned him into the palace.

Not only did he call him but he also stayed overnight, and he was treated with the King of Qi at a glance.

Next was Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, nicknamed scholar. Among the vassal kings, the king of Shu was actually the richest and leisurely. He was also steady and lenient and most adorable, completely different from his grandmother-in-law Zhu Gui, the king of Datong.

Of course, it is even better than his other brother, King Gu.

Then there were Hunan's Hunan King Zhu Bai and Min King Zhu Yan (pian) who came to Beijing one after another. These two were not worry-free. The Hunan King and Chu King were so good at wearing pairs of pants, and the Min King did evil in Yunnan all day long.

The Duke of Qian State Mu Chun would have nothing to say as long as he submitted a memorial to Zhu Yunxi and said anything else. Zhang Feng, the former governor of Yunnan, would be so angry that he would be so angry that he would be as soon as he mentioned it.

The old man and his heroic young sons all took their brothers as examples, hoping to command hundreds of thousands of troops in the future like the former King of Qin, Jin and Yan.

They didn't know how to learn it, but their arrogant and arrogant privately was completely out of their own.

A few days later, King Su Zhu O, King Qin and King Jin, who were far away in Gansu, also arrived one after another.

These three vassal kings are naturally Zhu Yunyu's best friends, and Qin and Jin are both cousins ​​of his and grandmother, and he nodded even more.

One of the nine contestants of the Ming Dynasty, King Su Zhu, was a vassal of Gansu and served as the military affairs of the five guards of Ganzhou, Shaanxi. The military power in his hands was no less than that of other contestants.

If the old man really doesn't like that son, he might be King Su. He has been a dull since childhood, and he can't speak and has no heroic spirit as a child of the Zhu family. Even his wife did not come from a noble family in Huaixi.

However, it may be because he was not favored since childhood, Zhu Ou is particularly pragmatic and knows how to advance and retreat, and is the most respectful.

In this way, the vassal kings from all over the country came almost. Not only did they come, but they also brought their families with their families. The Forbidden City was as lively as the New Year.

The old man said that there were too many people and that the scene was too big and it was too cumbersome. However, when facing the children and grandchildren who came from afar, they still couldn't stop smiling. Looking at this and that, they always couldn't see enough.

More things have been rewarded in the past few days than in the previous twenty years.

But the smiles I have had in the past few days are several times more than before, and I look much younger.

Isn’t it just the word “reunion” when people get old?

What is material use for the elderly?

~~

The Forbidden City in winter is solemn and quiet, and compared with the inner court, the outer court is even more magnificent and shocking.

There were silver-armored guards standing like javelins along the way, holding helmets and knives. They stood silently like statues.

The old man is in front and six pounds are on the side.

King Zhu Chun of Shu, Prince Zhu Gaochi of Yan, and King Zhu Zhaoxian of Lu.

The group talked and laughed, and at a glance, they knew that it was their uncles, nephews and brothers who were taking a walk with the old man.

From the inner court to the outer court, pass the Wenhua Hall Wen Tower and Wuying Hall Wu Tower, you will see the most magnificent Fengtian, Huagai, and the three halls in front of you.

"Let's go and have a walk up the Fengtian Gate Tower!" The old man held his hands behind his back, as if he didn't feel tired no matter how he walked.

Seeing that the old man seemed to have crystal sweat on his forehead, Zhu Chun quickly took a handkerchief from the palace servant and stepped forward a few steps to gently wipe the old man.

"I'm old, I've sweated after only a few steps!" The old man laughed.

"Father is tired, please carry you on your back!" Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, slowly bowed in front of the old man in a four-clawed golden dragon robe.

"Let's kick you to death!" the old man cursed, "Get out, I have to carry it when I die before carrying it. I have to carry it a few steps. Do you really think we are old?"

"The ancestor is not old, he is fierce!" Liu Jin smiled.

"Ha, our good grandson can speak!" In front of others, the old man never stings with expressing his preference for Liujin, and pulled Liujin with his big hand, "Let's go, let's go to the city tower to take a look!"

"Liujin supports the ancestor!" Liujin said with a smile.

"Okay!" The old man laughed.

At this moment, Zhu Zhaohui, the King of Lu who was carefully following the old man, suddenly felt his elbow being hit. He turned his head and saw Zhu Gaochi winked at him.

He was stunned at first, then immediately understood it, stepped forward and supported the old man's other arm, and whispered, "Grandfather, please go up the steps ahead and wait!"

The old man looked at the strange face in front of him and felt mixed emotions.

This is his grandson, his own grandson.

Having a face that looks very similar to his son, it seems that he has seen the energetic King of Lu at the time.

For a moment, the old man felt a little sad while he was happy.

"Did you ever study on weekdays?" the old man asked softly.

"Reply to the emperor's grandfather's words, the grandson was taught to recognize words when he was four years old." Zhu Zhaohui smiled, "In April of the previous year, His Majesty was a specialist in resigning to the Hanlin Academy to be the professor of the royal palace, specializing in teaching his grandson to study."

"Two years ago? There is still this incident?" The old man thought, "The emperor has never told us?"

Then the old man felt a little comfortable, and he, the grandson who was a grandfather, could not take care of him. Fortunately, he still had the eldest son and grandson, who was thinking about the entire family.

"The emperor's grandfather didn't know that Professor Zhou was the fifteenth generation grandson of the great scholar Zhou Lianxi, and he did a wonderful job!" Zhu Zhaohui said with a smile again.

"Who is Zhou Lianxi?" the old man turned around and asked.

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, quickly laughed, "It's Duke Yuan of Zhou..." As he said, he arrived again, "It's Zhou Dunyi, and there is a love lotus saying!"

"Ahhh!" The old man nodded, "I remembered it, it's not stained with mud!" As he said that, he glanced at Zhu Chun, "How about you, you are so rude?"
