Chapter 188 North-South Difference

Zhu Xiongying returned to Kunning Palace happily, and she was still the same as before, "Grandma, I'm hungry again!"

"Hungry?" Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Xiongying and looked at the book calmly, "I thought you forgot to eat and drink when you talk to the monk. You should learn from your grandfather, kneel down there and recite scriptures and Buddha, and be pure and have no desires.

, you must not know that you are hungry and thirsty."

Zhu Xiongying laughed silently and said hurriedly, "Grandma, I can't get married, and I never think about those things. I still have to govern the world and pass on the family line. I don't have the intention to become a monk. That's just that Daoyan has some ability, I think it can be used.

.”

"That's good." Queen Ma warned, "Whenever someone chants the Buddhist scriptures in front of her, saying Mr. Huang, don't blame me for being merciless."

Such warnings are also very necessary. Lao Zhu became a monk in his early years and the Red Turban Army Uprising was mixed with religious colors. All of this is what Lao Zhu and Empress Ma need to be vigilant. They all know the impact of those things on people's hearts.

If their baby grandson believed in Taoism and Buddhism, this would definitely not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Some things should be prevented before they happen, because Zhu Xiongying's identity could not withstand any troubles.

Zhu Xiongying sat on the chair and said lazily, "Is my mother returning to her hometown in Guide this time?"

Queen Ma smiled and said, "It's been arranged, and it's time to set off in the past two days. Then you go and send it off and let your incompetent uncle guard the way. The child's ability is not good, but he is still very capable.

The clearness of the situation.”

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandmother, I always feel that my mother's trip back this time depends on my wife who has not yet passed. Now that I think about it, my grandfather asked me to marry her, because she was attracted by Guangdong.

”

That's not the case. He Yuyao's grandfather He Zhen also had separatist rule in his early years. He essentially had ruled most of the areas of Lingnan. Some people advised him to follow Zhao Tuo, separatist Lingnan, and become king independently, and he also had such conditions.

/p>

"He was too late to surrender. We pacified Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian. Even if he occupied Lingnan, it would be difficult to stop the heavenly soldiers." Empress Ma said calmly, "Besides, this man was also a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty in his early years, and that is, he knew that the situation of the Yuan Dynasty was gone.

Only surrendered."

Empress Ma naturally has the right to comment on He Zhen, who had dominated the country in the early years. Empress Ma can also comment and joke about some choices about He Zhen.

Zhu Xiongying thought about it and said, "Wu Xun is dealing with it. I think that if my children and grandchildren find a wife in the Duke of Wei in the future, they will definitely be able to move the capital. The important land in Jiangnan will definitely not be granted.

In addition to the Chang family, the Xu family is qualified to guard the royal family."

"Is the Li family not good?" Queen Ma asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that your cousin will be disheartened?"

Zhu Xiongying said angrily, "Grandmother, I'm not five years old now, six years old! If I really let my cousin guard Jiangnan, that wouldn't be the case. Duke Cao's family still couldn't walk away in a short time, and Jiujiang's cousin wanted to help.

My father and I control the military power.”

"That boy Xu Yungong is quite the duty. Let your grandfather and Tiande go to drink." Queen Ma smiled and began to draw big cakes, "Your grandfather drank high but didn't keep the door in his mouth. The daughter of the Xu family can only be the princess.

It is impossible for the granddaughter to have a crown princess and queen."

Zhu Xiongying became more and more depressed the more he thought about it. "In this way, my wife's door is not high?"

Old Zhu stepped into the house and cursed as soon as he entered the door, "The boss is so angry that he knows how to make all officials awe, so those people should not give them a good face. The boss is fine, but he still wants to give them those

People increase their salary!"

"Grandfather, if it were me, I would also increase the salary of all officials." Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "The salary of all officials is too small now, so they can manage the family's food and drink."

Lao Zhu glared at him and was very unhappy, "It's not enough to keep the family's food and drink?! Ordinary people may not be able to eat and eat and drink for a year. This is not enough to be a decent, majestic, and have no worries about food and drink?"

Zhu Xiongying explained, "Officials always have to have a welcome and see off. They are all bitter and they are going to have to have a full meal. They must have bad thoughts. Those merchants look average, wearing gold and silver, and silk.

Can the official be happy with silk and satin?”

Lao Zhu said proudly, "The merchants don't have a kind heart and don't do anything to produce! I won't allow them to wear gold, silver, silk and satin!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say at once, because Lao Zhu really didn't allow merchants to wear it very well. So people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Merchants dare not wear silk outside now.

While speaking, Zhu Biao also strode over, "Dad, I don't want the officials of the court to have high salaries as well as officials of the Song Dynasty. It should have been a little bit improved. Now the court is richer, and it's not that I'm saving money in my early years.

”

"It's rising now, can it fall in the future?" Lao Zhu said very unhappily, "We have pacified the troubled times now, and the people are better off. Now you have increased your salaries to all officials, and the court will not be able to collect them too much in the future.

If you have too much money and food, those officials are willing to reduce their salary? I don’t think so. If you give him the benefits, he thinks he deserves it!"

Zhu Biao did not retreat and continued to argue, "then we should not always think about not paying attention to the present in the future? The salary is low, and it is not easy for all officials to live. The court now opens the imperial examinations to recruit scholars, and officials also need to govern the local area. Even a salary is

Not enough, how can you cherish talents?"

Queen Ma turned a deaf ear to her, but she just sent people to pass on the meal. She had long been used to these things.

Zhu Xiongying was also used to it, skillfully poured a few glasses of wine, "Raise the glass, let's have a drink first."

"I'm not old, I'm so greedy!" Old Zhu smiled and picked up the wine glass, and stopped arguing with Zhu Biao. "I've grown up after going out, and I dare to drink now."

Zhu Xiongying said, "I haven't drunk before, and you and my grandmother have talked about me a lot. Now I'm drinking, and I'm also talking about it."

The family of four happily drank a glass. Needless to say, Lao Zhu's alcohol content was huge. Queen Ma's alcohol content was actually not bad, but when it comes to Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, one was worse than the other. The important thing was

The atmosphere is about participation.

Queen Ma looked at Lao Zhu and said, "Xiongying is about to marry a wife. When the eldest brother married the old Chang family earlier, Tiande felt a little unhappy. Until now, there is no one in the Tiande family who can be worthy of it.

If you go to drink with him, you should ask the descendants of the hero to be found in the Xu family and let him educate him better.”

Old Zhu immediately smiled and said, "No wonder when I entered the door, I heard Xiongying say that the door was low, and after a long time of trouble, his wife's family was low. This is good. Xiongying can't make a mistake if she finds a door too high, so his offspring can't be

The portal is low. I went to tell Tiande that he would definitely be happy."

Xu Da must be happy. He was the first hero of the founding country, but his daughters were princesses. Now they can’t count on it, but if a princess can be born in the future, it will be the glory of the Xu family.

At that time, the most important sign was that the Xu family was like the Chang family, and they were with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but be curious and asked, "When I was a child, Is it a good choice for my family?"

"It's not considered. At that time, I also wanted to find some marquises." Zhu Biao said happily, "You are extremely talented and have rectified your martial arts honors over the years, so I found you a family that is not up to date."

Queen Ma also smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about your background. Even if you are not as talented as you are now, Wu Xun is looking forward to you. Just your descendants, then you have to see it. Unless there is another talented person,

Otherwise, I will find the Xu family.”

Lao Zhu drank comfortably and asked casually, "I haven't asked last time, but you are not very happy to get close to Confucian scholars. This time I went to Yuelu Academy. You don't know how happy those scholars are."<

/p>

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing, "I have been studying with Master Song and others since I was a child, and scholars are close to me. You, the crown prince, are not ordinary, and you have never liked to study since you were a child."

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but retort, "Dad, I'm not as good as my family members."

This is a fact. Zhu Xiongying relies on his talent, so he has not studied hard in the main hall.

It is also because he saw that Zhu Xiongying was extremely talented, and Lao Zhu and the others tacitly did not assign a fixed master to Zhu Xiongying. It was enough to have Song Lian teach the prince in his early years, so there was no need to arrange a "Taisun Master" for the grandson.
p>

This is also the regret of many civil officials now, because among the civil officials in the court, no one has the confidence to say that they have passed on their careers and resolve doubts to Taisun. These people really feel that they have missed a very strong and powerful person.

Opportunity.

"I don't get close to them, but I'm the crown prince." Zhu Xiongying said naturally, "Last year, the Mongol Yuan was fought, and the territory of our Ming Dynasty was also stable. Now we need to reform, so we naturally need to do so here.

The scholar has made efforts.”

This is naturally what Zhu Xiongying said in his heart. Some things are really not something he likes or doesn’t like. It depends on whether it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. These are actually the most important things. Zhu Xiongying attaches great importance to these things.

of.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were very satisfied with Zhu Xiongying's answer. This is the demeanor that the crown prince should have. Some things really cannot do as they please. If it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, that is good.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "I thought I was about to have an imperial examination, but I thought I should consider the difference between scholars from the north and the south."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Scholars from the north and the south, what's the difference?"

"Grandfather, I used to say that the north will be a general and the south will be a prime minister." Zhu Xiongying said bluntly, "I looked at the officials in the court. The civil servants are basically from the south. We finally took them back to the north.

People’s hearts, men really don’t want the hearts of men?”
