Chapter 229: Zhu Ying and his little emperor uncles
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang began to talk about serious matters.
"Dasun, this kind of thing can't happen again in the future. The plague is so terrifying and there is no cure. If something happens, how will we survive?"
After hearing the old man's instructions, Zhu Ying said helplessly: "Grandpa, others don't know, but you don't know. My grandson didn't go to a dangerous place."
"It's more than a mile away from the nearest city where the plague occurred. The plague basically takes two days to show symptoms, so it's very safe."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "You can't be careless. It takes several days for ordinary people to walk more than a hundred miles, but it only takes a day to go back and forth on horseback."
Zhu Ying could only cry and laugh.
As cautious as he is, he has naturally arranged everything in advance.
None of the people who reported letters had direct contact with Zhu Ying. Even the letters were read.
There are many levels in it.
That's all. Seeing the old man acting like this, Zhu Ying didn't explain much.
After reprimanding him, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the eldest grandson had a good attitude, and then encouraged him: "In general, the eldest grandson has performed very well regarding the plague."
"I have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. We have heard that in Henan, the great grandson is now called the reincarnated living Buddha, and every household has put an longevity plaque on him."
After receiving this honor, Zhu Ying not only did not feel proud, but instead said with some regret:
"My grandson is commanding from behind, so he is safe...but those who are working on the front lines are the real heroes."
"Since my grandson's death, a total of 372 people have died from infection due to fighting the plague."
Only Zhu Ying understands that these are things that ordinary people cannot see.
Not only those who died from the plague, but also those who dared to enter the plague areas were heroes.
In just one month, many touching and touching stories emerged.
Zhu Ying has arranged for personnel to compile these stories. Once the compilation is completed, they will be recorded in the form of biographies.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying spoke again: "Grandpa, the plague in Henan this time was so severe and could be controlled in such a short period of time, it was inseparable from these people who sacrificed their lives for it."
"So Sun'er wanted to build temples in several cities in Henan where the plague was most severe so that they could enjoy incense and sacrifices."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "Dasun must know that if this is the case, this reputation will spread a lot."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "My grandson knows it in his heart, but only in this way can he feel at peace. Otherwise, my grandson will be unworthy of this fame."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with appreciation.
There is no one who is not greedy for fame, especially the emperor, who cares more about leaving a name in history.
It is extremely rare that the great grandson can do this.
"When you come back this time, don't run around this year. We have arranged for the Qintian Supervisor to check the life here. On the first day of October, we will confer the eldest grandson as the great grandson."
Speaking of the matter of canonization, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and continued: "It is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty that the great grandson can come back."
"We are thinking that on the first day of October, the day when the grandson is canonized, the whole country will celebrate together, establish a holiday, and make it a National Day."
After Zhu Ying heard this, she suddenly felt a little confused.
National Day is the first day of October, so don’t be too familiar with it.
"Okay, since the eldest grandson has no objection, then the matter will be settled like this."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his eldest grandson was silent, he smiled and agreed.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying recovered from her daze.
His mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
This can be considered a coincidence.
"The fifth prince, because there are quite a few complaints about the feudal affairs, we are too old now, so we are too lazy to take care of it. Let the eldest grandson handle it by himself."
"Now the five uncles of the eldest grandson are probably aware of his identity. After all, he is one of his own family members, so don't go too far."
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
Some of the fifth prince's daily conversations, especially his views on Zhu Ying, will be recorded by the eunuchs and then presented to His Majesty.
As for the fifth prince, he is his son no matter what.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still quite worried.
If left unchecked, Da Sun would not be a bad person.
It would be embarrassing if he left on his own and was offended and sent down for a reunion.
Now that the matter has been resolved and suppressed by myself, at least it will not cause too much impact.
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will take care of the affairs of the five imperial uncles. I think the five uncles are all sensible and will not be too harsh on the grandson."
After hearing Da Sun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was half relieved.
At least with this current attitude, Zhu Ying has no intention of doing anything hard.
Da Sun was a businessman before. Businessmen are tactful and generally not too rigid in dealing with matters.
Inside the Zuoshun Gate, the five princes gathered together.
It has been more than a month now, and the training in the palace has not ended.
Although Zhu Ying left, the instructor of Xuanjiawei was there, so everything was going on in an orderly manner.
In more than a month, not only the prince and grandson, but the palace guards have been well trained.
At least, when the guards patrolling the palace were walking in formation, the eunuchs and maids who were originally afraid of the guards were now even more frightened.
When the Imperial Guards passed by, they could only stand still and did not dare to move at all.
After the guards left, they continued walking.
It has to be said that the uniform pace and the resolute and cold eyes are really intolerable to most people.
The Imperial Guards themselves have seen blood, and this training has forced their evil spirits that had gradually weakened to come out again.
By practicing three times a day, even the physical fitness of the royal family members has been greatly improved.
There is a burst of energy radiating out at all times.
Not only did they get out of training, they gathered together to have a drink and a meal.
"You said our life, when did it end? We practice like this every day, although we are more accustomed to it now, but compared to the days when we were in school, it is simply too cruel."
The Nineteenth Prince Zhu Su said in an unhappy tone.
After finishing speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, looking a little irritable.
After hearing this, the Eighteenth Prince Zhu Zhen said: "Nineteenth Brother, this is all father's intention. I think the training is quite good now."
"Especially the training of soldiers. When we become queen, won't we have a lot more ideas about military training?"
As soon as Zhu Chu finished speaking, Zhu Chu retorted: "Brother 18, you are still thinking about becoming a vassal. Have you forgotten the meaning of your father's lecture some time ago?"
"Given the current situation, we are not sure when we will become a vassal. Besides, His Highness Changsun is back now."
"It's his wish to decide on the vassal status."
"Wait, how long will it take?"
Zhu Su's words immediately silenced everyone. When it came to his father and His Highness the Grandson, whom he had never met before, everyone had a lot of worries when speaking.
"I think it would be good even if I join the feudal clan later. There is no better place in the feudal kingdom than in the capital. Just look at the brothers of the feudal clan. Which one is as happy as in the capital?"
"My brothers in the border areas have to go to war every day. Even the brothers inside are busy with endless things every day."
Twenty princes, King Zhu Song of Han said.
Although he is only twelve years old, he is cautious, intelligent and alert.
Seeing that the 19th brother Zhu Su started to complain, especially when His Highness Changsun was involved, he immediately came out to smooth things over.
Of course, these words were indeed what Zhu Song was thinking.
Gumin
When the previous vassal kings came back, even though Zhu Song was only in his teens, he still pestered his brothers to tell them about the vassal queen.
All he heard was countless troubles, and Zhu Song was most afraid of troubles.
Zhu Song in history did not become a vassal in his whole life, and finally died of illness in the capital.
It is actually correct to call Zhu Ying His Royal Highness Changsun.
Even the oldest Zhu Zhu here was born in the eleventh year of Hongwu and is only fourteen years old this year.
Zhu Ying was born in the seventh year of Hongwu, four years older than him.
For other families, it’s okay to call them nephew according to their seniority.
But the royal family is different.
The key is that Zhu Ying is still the eldest grandson of the emperor. In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty royal family, all fools know that Zhu Ying will be the future emperor.
Dare you trust me?
Who still doesn’t understand the affairs of the feudal lord?
If my father can do this, so can my eldest brother.
But everyone has studied. The problems of vassal kings are not limited to the Ming Dynasty. There are many in history.
We haven't established a vassal state yet. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to entrust Da Da?
If you give a vassal territory that has nothing to do with birds, it will only be cool.
Therefore, the princes could only address him as "His Royal Highness Changsun" and express their respect at the same time.
The sixteenth prince Zhu Zhuan remained silent, but in fact he had some opinions on the matter of joining the feudal clan.
The eighteenth prince, Zhu Min, hesitated to speak several times and turned his eyes towards Zhu Quan inadvertently.
There was a long silence, and everyone's eyes focused on the seventeenth prince Zhu Quan.
"Ahem, Seventeenth Brother, why don't you tell everyone what kind of person His Highness Changsun is. If we meet him, we will have some idea."
The Sixteenth Prince Zhu Zhuan coughed twice to break the stiff atmosphere, and then asked Zhu Quan.
The fact that Zhu Quan met His Highness Changsun had long been spread through Zhu Yunxi's small mouth.
But even though I knew it earlier, it was hard to explain clearly.
When news of the Henan plague came out, everyone couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhu Quan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, and he knew he couldn't escape.
After a slight hesitation, he said, "His Royal Highness Changsun is the eldest son of my eldest brother and the eldest grandson of my father. In terms of personality, he is more like my father."
Hearing this sentence, everyone's hearts trembled and their breathing became a little faster.
No one knows what kind of character his father is.
Being like my father means that life in the future may not be easy.
"However, His Highness Changsun is somewhat similar to his eldest brother in how he handles matters, and is not as strict as my father." Zhu Quan added.
As soon as he finished speaking, several exhalations were heard.
Everyone's eyes were filled with resentment.
I can't finish what I said in one breath, which makes me very nervous.
"So, His Highness Changsun is actually quite easy to get along with?" Zhu Zhu couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Quan recalled the scene of meeting His Royal Highness Changsun and couldn't help but agree.
Just when Zhu Su wanted to say something.
Suddenly the eunuch's voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness Changsun is here!"
When Zhu Ying went to Zuoshunmen to see her uncles.
In Chunhe Palace, Huang Zicheng was teaching Zhu Yunwen Confucian classics.
Unlike before, when he was full of energy, Huang Zicheng now has no light in his eyes.
Huang Zicheng became more aware of the Henan plague.
Now His Highness Changsun is already unstoppable, and His Highness Yunwen has no chance anymore.
"Naihe, naihe. Why can't we wait a few years later?"
Huang Zicheng sighed in his heart.
The time given to His Highness Yunwen was too little.
Even before the grandson could be canonized, something unexpected happened.
Ten years have passed, why can't we wait a few more years before coming back?
Thinking of this, Huang Zicheng couldn't help but look at His Highness Yunwen.
Coincidentally, Zhu Yunwen was looking up at Huang Zicheng at this moment.
When the two looked at each other, it seemed that the two of them had understood something through the transmission of their eyes.
"Sir, what do you think we should do in the future?"
Zhu Yunwen said bitterly.
When the emperor first positioned him as his grandson, Huang Zicheng had chatted with Zhu Yunwen about the issue of the vassal king.
It's a little embarrassing now.
We once talked about how to deal with the feudal king, but now I will be the feudal king from now on.
Those who deal with others become the ones being dealt with. This world is really strange.
When Huang Zicheng heard this, he felt sad at first.
Then suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he was shocked, and then said: "Your Highness should study hard, especially in training, and remember not to be lazy."
"Only in this way can we obtain a good vassal territory. The best way is to establish vassal status as soon as possible."
Huang Zicheng realized that he had fallen into a demonic barrier during this period.
If I follow His Highness Yunwen, I will be able to do something good in the feudal territory no matter how bad things happen.
In the current situation, His Highness Yunwen is the vassal queen, and he is in charge of government affairs no matter what.
People must know how to be content, and if their ambitions are smaller, they will never be far behind.
Although it is a pity, there is nothing we can do about it.
It's better to take advantage of the guilt in His Majesty's heart and talk about it later.
When His Highness Changsun really takes over, it's hard to say where the vassal land will be placed.
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled.
Said: "But some time ago, the emperor's grandfather told all the emperor's uncles who have been crowned kings but not vassals. There may be big changes in the vassals."
"It means that we won't arrange the vassal affairs immediately. I think this is probably what the eldest brother means."
"I'm afraid it's the vassal king issue that Mr. Zeng mentioned, and my eldest brother has already realized it."
Zhu Yunwen's tone was helpless.
Although he also wants to, the current situation does not allow it.
My mother also said something similar, but she didn't even get the title of king.
In this way, it is still decided that he will be crowned grandson next month.
Grandpa Huang has not canceled it yet, which makes Zhu Yunwen very embarrassed.
Especially when meeting courtiers, they still shout "grandson, grandson, grandson".
This made Zhu Yunwen see the courtiers from a distance and avoid them.
