Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 867: Regretful Lu, Zhu Xiongying Inherits His Father’S Legacy [Please Subscribe, Please Subs

At the same time that Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and others were canonized as the emperor's grandson and the princes of the princes in Fengtian Hall, the princess Lu in the harem of the East Palace was in the bedroom.

Zhu Yunwen, who is already twelve years old this year, looks at the time passing by bit by bit outside, shaking Lu with both hands, with a worried face. Earthly Dao:

"Mom, he is going to be named the grandson of the emperor!"

"What should I do, mother?"

Twelve-year-old Zhu Yunwen can already be regarded as a little adult, so he also understands and knows many things that should be understood.

For example, he knew very well what it meant to him that Zhu Xiongying was officially canonized as the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Xiongying was canonized as the emperor's grandson, which means that he will never have the slightest chance for that position in the future!

Of course, according to the normal order of succession, he has no chance.

But he couldn't stand it, and his mother had been telling him since he was a child that he should inherit his father's crown prince position in the future, and even the emperor's position!

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen, who may not have coveted Zhu Xiongying's position, became coveted under Lu's secret influence for so many years.

Listening to the sound of bells and drums coming from the Fengtian Hall, Lu's face became extremely ugly, but she still managed to show a smile and looked at Zhu Yunwen to comfort him:

"It's okay. Even if he is canonized as the emperor's grandson, it does not mean that he will be the prince in the future!"

"Even if he really becomes a prince, it doesn't mean that he will be the emperor in the future!"

"As long as he doesn't truly become the emperor, you will still have a chance!"

"Even grandsons and princes can be deposed!"

But having said that, even Mrs. Lu knew that the chance of her son Yunwen becoming the prince or emperor in the future was getting smaller and smaller, and was almost gone.

As early as half a year ago, she knew that Zhu Xiongying would be officially canonized as the emperor's grandson, and she had worked hard for it.

But her efforts had no effect at all.

Half a year ago, she just tentatively mentioned to Zhu Biao:

"That kid Wen'er may not be much worse than the big brother Xiongying."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao looked at her meaningfully and remained silent for a long time17.

After Ms. Lu was panicked by Zhu Biao's gaze, Zhu Biao said in a faint tone:

"The Crown Princess is infected with cold and must not leave her bedroom for a month. In order to avoid infecting others, including Zhu Yunwen, she refuses to be visited by anyone!"

"In addition, the Crown Princess is seriously ill, so Zhu Yunwen was ordered to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" day and night to pray for his mother until the Crown Princess recovers!"

After saying that, Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked the palace servants to take the "seriously ill" princess back to the palace to recuperate, no matter how much Lu family pleaded for mercy or admitted her mistake.

This is equivalent to directly imprisoning Lu for a month, and the meaning of beating is unclear.

This time Zhu Biao just made her "seriously ill" and asked Zhu Yunwen to copy the "Book of Filial Piety". The next time, he might make her "critically ill" or even make her "die", and then ask Zhu Yunwen to keep her filial piety for her.

Moreover, the decision to confer Zhu Xiongying as the grandson of the emperor was made by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Don't talk about her, even Prince Zhu Biao has no room for change!

And she, a mere princess, wanted to influence Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, but it was just a dream!

If Zhu Yuanzhang's will cannot be changed, then if Zhu Yunwen wants to surpass Zhu Xiongying and become the emperor's grandson, then there is only one possibility, that is, an accident happened to Zhu Xiongrong!

Only in this way can Zhu Yunwen become the new eldest grandson and the new emperor's grandson.

But to put it bluntly, even if Mrs. Lu has such a rebellious heart, she does not have such a rebellious ability!

As the Crown Princess, her daily activities were only within the East Palace and visiting Queen Ma to pay her respects.

If you want to go out of the palace to burn incense or worship Buddha in a temple, you have to say something special to Prince Zhu Biao.

Only after obtaining permission from Prince Zhu Biao and arranging corresponding escorts, could she leave the East Palace.

And in the East Palace, she may be inferior to Prince Zhu Biao and superior to thousands of others.

But outside the East Palace, except for the attendants and guards around her, she could not command and mobilize anyone.

Moreover, no matter how much the attendants and guards around her obeyed her orders, it was impossible for them to say that they would murder the emperor's grandson on her behalf.

As for relying on the strength of her maternal relatives, that is, her mother's family, that is even more delusional.

Her father, Luben, had only one daughter, and she did not have any other brothers or sisters.

In other words, after her father Lu Ben died of illness a few years ago, her so-called maternal family and relatives had long since become a dream.

And even if her father is still alive, with her father's power, it would be very difficult to secretly murder an imperial grandson.

Because Zhu Xiongying is sixteen years old this year, Zhu Xiongying has officially moved out of the palace as early as two years ago, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, he officially opened his Huangsun Mansion outside the palace!

The moment Zhu Xiongying officially opened the Imperial Sun Palace, it meant that Zhu Xiongying could also officially start to have his own political team.

And how thick is Zhu Xiongying’s political team?!!

Not to mention the team members provided by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, the political team left by the deceased Crown Princess Chang alone was already very terrifying.

The deceased Duke of E, Chang Yuchun, was Zhu Xiongying's grandfather, although his son Chang Mao, who succeeded Chang Yuchun as Duke, was not very successful.

But now among the noble marquises, Liang Guogong Lan Yu, one of the most powerful, is also Zhu Xiongying's great-uncle.

What's more important is that the Huaixi Xungui Group represented by the late Duke of E, Chang Yuchun, and the current Duke of Liang, Lan Yu, are also congenitally attached to Zhu Xiongying, just like they were attached to the prince before. It's the same as Zhu Biao's subordinates.

Therefore, after the opening of Zhu Xiongying's Imperial Sun Mansion, a large number of descendants of the noble marquis of Huaixi entered the Imperial Sun Mansion and became the third member of Zhu Xiongrong's preparatory political team.

In addition, some of the imperial guards given by Zhu Yuanzhang, some of the imperial and grandson officials arranged by Prince Zhu Biao, etc.

Under such circumstances, let alone the Crown Princess Lu whose influence was limited to the Eastern Palace and the Harem.

Even if other noble marquises and court ministers want to secretly murder Zhu Xiongying, it is almost impossible.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help biting her lips and began to think about when did all this begin to escape her control?

Is Zhu Xiongying officially opening a mansion outside?

Or is it that Zhu Biao has been leaving the capital year after year and moving to other places, causing her relationship with Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Biao to become more and more shallow?

Or.........

When Lu continued to look back, he finally discovered that all the changes seemed to stem from a cold wind when Zhu Xiongying was six years old.

It was that cold wind that made Zhu Xiongying fall ill. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma came to the East Palace to visit Zhu Xiongying.

After that, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yuntong were taken back to Kunning Palace by Queen Ma to take care of them personally.

With this care, ten years have passed.

Although during this period, Zhu Xiongying often brought Zhu Yunxi to the East Palace to pay his respects to her, the princess.

But he never said that he would move back to the East Palace, and he never even took a bite of the tea and snacks from the East Palace.

Each time, he only came to greet him for half an hour, and then excused himself by saying that Queen Ma in the palace was still waiting for Zhu Yunxi to have dinner, and left with Zhu Yunxi.

As a result, she completely lost the possibility of interfering and influencing Zhu Xiongying in the past ten years.

At this moment, Lu couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in her heart.

If she hadn't been so anxious back then, if Zhu Xiongying hadn't been met by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma when he contracted the cold, and if Zhu Xiongying hadn't moved out of the East Palace.

However, there is no if in everything.

Hearing the distant ringing of nine bells and drums from Fengtian Hall outside, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but close her eyes.

Because the ringing of these nine bells and drums means that the canonization of the emperor's grandson and the princes of the princes in Fengtian Palace has officially settled.

From now on, Zhu Xiongying has officially become the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and is also the third-generation successor to the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

After formally paying homage to Queen Ma in Kunning Palace, Zhu Xiongying returned to his imperial grandson's mansion. Oh no, it should be called the emperor's grandson's mansion now.

As soon as he entered the Emperor Taisun's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting at the door for Zhu Xiongying's return, also took the initiative to come forward and congratulated with a face full of joy:

"Congratulations to my eldest brother for officially becoming the grandson of the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxi is also eleven years old this year. As early as two years ago, Zhu Xiongying received Zhu Yuanzhang's permission to open the Huangsun Mansion outside the palace, and Zhu Xiongying took Zhu Yunxi out from Kunning Palace to live together.

Of course, since Zhu Yunxi was only nine years old two years ago, although Zhu Xiongying was fourteen years old, Queen Ma was also worried that Zhu Xiongying could not take care of herself and Zhu Yunxi.

Therefore, although Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi can live in the Huangsun Mansion outside the palace, they still have to go back to the palace every ten days to report to Queen Ma about their current situation and let Queen Ma see if the brothers Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi have lost weight. .

In addition, Zhu Yunxi has been brought up by his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying like a brother and a father almost since he was a child, so Zhu Yunxi also has full love for his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying.

Of course, it’s not just Zhu Yunxi, in fact, even Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Youdun and other vassal princes also have the same love for Zhu Xiongying!

Because now Zhu Xiongying is actually the same as Zhu Biao before to a certain extent.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was busy conquering the world. People like Qin King Zhu Di and others were almost brought up by Zhu Biao as a brother and a father, so Zhu Di and other princes loved Zhu Biao so much.

In the past, Prince Zhu Biao and other princes either went to the county for three years, or were governors of the state for four years, or they went east to conquer the Japanese country.

On weekdays, I spend very little time with my sons Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Shangbing. In addition, they all study with Yan Changqing.

Therefore, as the eldest brother of the princes and the first student of Yan Changqing, Zhu Xiongying naturally shouldered the responsibility of taking care of and disciplining the princes.

In addition, there are no other adults or elders in Zhu Xiongying's imperial grandson's house, so Zhu Xiongying has the final say in the entire emperor's grandson's house.

Therefore, the princes of the feudal lords also like to use Zhu Xiongying's palace as their secret base, and they often gather at Zhu Xiongying's palace.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that the time spent by the princes and the princes was not as much as the time Zhu Xiongying spent with the princes.

In addition, when a group of elders reprimanded Zhu Jixi and other princes, Zhu Xiongying would also say good things to the princes and defend them.

In addition, when it is time to discipline them, Zhu Xiongying will seriously reprimand and discipline them in private.

It not only made them realize that they were wrong, but also maintained their self-esteem well.

Therefore, Zhu Jixi and other vassal princes also loved Zhu Xiongying, who was like a father and a brother.

From this perspective, Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's legacy. Like his father, Zhu Biao, he raised his younger brothers as sons.

Moreover, Zhu Yunxi, who is eleven years old this year, is also already a young adult, so he also understands and knows many things that should be understood.

For example, Zhu Yunxi knew very clearly that Zhu Xiongying was his eldest brother from the same mother. As long as Zhu Xiongying could successfully become the emperor's grandson, he would become the prince in the future, and even the emperor!

So as Zhu Xiongyingwei - my mother's brother, I am absolutely indispensable for the glory and wealth I deserve!

As long as he hugs his eldest brother's thigh tightly, then when his eldest brother becomes the prince or the emperor, no matter how great the Ming Dynasty is, he only needs to say one sentence:

"My eldest brother——Zhu Xiongying!"

That would be enough to run rampant!

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi also unswervingly supports and loves his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying. Whoever wants to shake his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying's status as the emperor's grandson, he will be the first to jump out and blow the opponent's head.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi who was congratulating him, Zhu Xiongying also had a soft look on his face and smiled warmly:

"Thank you, brother, I'm waiting here!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head and said:

"It's not hard! It's not hard at all!"

"Hey, I've been busy for a long time, 783 shouldn't have eaten anything yet, right?"

"I arranged for hot pot, and now it's time to eat it!"

With that said, Zhu Fentong dragged Zhu Xiongying towards the hot pot that had been prepared before.

He stood at the door of the house and waited for most of the day, and he was also hungry.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying could only smile helplessly, and then let Zhu Yunxi pull him to eat hot pot.

Then the two brothers chatted while eating hot pot.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi, who is already eleven years old this year, Zhu Xiongying also feels that Zhu Yunxi has begun to grow up and can add more burdens to Zhu Yunxi.

[I wonder if I can let Brother Xie also study with my husband?]

Amidst the rising smoke from the hot pot, Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yunxi who was eating hotpot mutton, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Naturally, he also knew the world map, although all the vassal kings had already determined the overseas continents that they would serve as vassals.

But Asia, a supercontinent with an area of ​​44 million square kilometers, apart from the area currently occupied by Ming Dynasty, is also North Asia that his fourth uncle will occupy in the future.

In addition, Central Asia and South Asia are left as terra incognita.

After the Ming Dynasty annexed the northern Xinjiang grassland, and after his fourth uncle stably occupied Beili.

In the future, he and his fourth uncle will definitely continue to expand their respective territories towards Central Asia. By then, Asia will be left with a region like South Asia.

Zhu Xiongying also has ideas about South Asia.

After all, South Asia has fertile land with three crops a year. If possible, Zhu Xiongying would naturally want to include South Asia within the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

But in this case, the territory of Ming Dynasty would be too large!

After the Ming Dynasty truly annexed the grasslands and carved up Central Asia, even if the Ming Dynasty annexed South Asia, it would be difficult to effectively manage such a huge territory.

Therefore, the best way is to go to South Asia and entrust a vassal king.

In this case, even if South Asia was not really brought under Ming's management, at least the meat would rot in Ming's pot.

And as Zhu Yunxi is his biological brother, Zhu Xiongying naturally wants to arrange a good future for him if possible.

At least in Zhu Xiongying's view, instead of letting Zhu Yunxi be a nominal vassal king in the Ming Dynasty who only enjoyed wealth and honor, it would be better to let Zhu Yunxi go to South Asia to establish a country.

Although the establishment of a feudal state may be a little difficult in the early stages, it will be difficult after conquering South Asia.

Then Zhu Yunxi is the unparalleled emperor in South Asia. His power and status are much greater than those of the vassals in the Ming Dynasty.

However, this matter still needs to be carefully planned, at least until he ascends to the throne and becomes the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty before it can be arranged.

For now, just train Zhu Yunxi in that area first.

Zhu Yunxi, who was eating hot pot, suddenly shuddered, feeling as if something bad was staring at him.

However, this feeling was fleeting. Zhu Yunxi, who thought it was an illusion, thought it was because early spring was cooler and there was a cold wind just now.

Immediately, I dipped the chopsticks into the hotpot mutton with chili oil and put it into my mouth. My face was full of satisfaction. .
