Xiao Yuer's eyes were filled with tears. She was about to leave the palace like some other palace ladies of the right age. As the queen's personal maid, she was also given a marriage to a mid-level officer, which was considered a good destination.

Zhu Xiongying looked a little worried and said to Xiao Yu'er, "Sister Yu'er, from now on you just have to live your own life, and don't worry about the palace. Grandma has me here."

Xiao Yu'er wiped away her tears and said with choked sobs, "Your Highness, I don't want to leave the palace. If it hadn't been for the Queen's adoption, I and my sister would have become bones on the roadside."

"You have taken good care of me all these years, so you have repaid the kindness." Zhu Xiongying took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "Live a good life now, and don't talk about the kindness in the past. Live a good life, grandma.

I’ll be happy. Just take this and think about it.”

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying said directly, "Come here, take Sister Yu'er out."

Xiao Yuer immediately struggled and kowtowed several times, but was still taken out.

Empress Ma was a little relieved, but also a little sad, "She and her sister were only five or six years old when we were here in the early years, and they were skinny and ugly. Now they have grown up and can marry."

"We have all grown up, and now we have to live a good life." Zhu Xiongying looked around and said, "In the past, the two imperial aunts were here, as well as Da Yu'er and Xiao Yu'er, but now they are all married. Grandma,

In the end, we still have to depend on each other."

Empress Ma raised her hand to make a false slap and said, "When your grandfather hears this, he will nag you again, saying that you are not considerate."

Zhu Xiongying lay lazily on the large chair, looking like a scoundrel, "He can nag as much as he wants. Being a grandson is difficult. If he is considerate, he thinks that men are just thinking about the shortcomings of their parents. If he is not considerate, he will say it bluntly.

If it hurts, whatever you do is wrong."

Queen Ma was not happy and said, "Since you know this, if you just follow his wishes, can he really make you angry?"

Zhu Xiongying immediately sat upright and said, "Grandma, it is true, but it cannot be done. I am the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor. I will be canonized as the grandson of the emperor next year. Maybe I will go to observe the government in a few years.

Now, you should have your own ideas."

Empress Ma joked, "The way you say it, you will be the emperor in a few years."

Zhu Xiongying was not very happy and said, "Then it's better to wait. It's not good to become the emperor too early. I just think that it would be better to become the emperor in another twenty or thirty years. Before I am 30 years old, I will become the emperor."

Being a grandson or a prince in a down-to-earth manner has nothing to do with it. You can become a general and pursue death in the north."

Empress Ma smiled and threw the spindle in her hand, "General? Don't expect to be General Zhu in this life. I can lead some soldiers and horses around Yingtian Mansion for you. Don't expect to fight."

”

Zhu Xiongying was not happy, very unhappy, "Grandma, look at what I'm wearing, this is a dragon robe with five claws!"

Empress Ma had a headache and said, "So what if there are five claws? Uncle Qin also wears five claws, and you all wear scarlet clothes, which means your grandfather can wear bright yellow robes."

Zhu Xiongying got excited all of a sudden and said, "This is why we are quarreling with my grandfather. The prince's crown is all as good as the Eastern Palace, and the second crown is decorated with five colors. Is this okay? Grandma, this is definitely not possible. The Emperor's Twelve Chapter Pattern

, This is the right principle. The crown prince and grandson Jiuzhang, Mian Jiuqiu, and Luo Jiuyu, this is also the right principle, but the prince can just live like this, right?"

Empress Ma found it funny and said, "Your grandfather's thoughts are not simple. They are all his sons, and he doesn't like to be partial."

Zhu Xiongying muttered again and said, "My grandfather's contribution to the clan was too much. I have also read some history books these days. The Tang Prince Valley has 4,800 stones, 4,800 pieces of silk, and 450 pieces of cotton."

Jin. In the Song Dynasty, the annual income was 2,400 shi, and the money was 4,800 guan. In the Ming Dynasty, the prince was worth 10,000 shi?"

Empress Ma stopped talking, and Zhu Xiongying continued, "My grandfather was very careful about hundreds of officials. A county magistrate only earns less than a hundred dan per year, and a first-grade official only earns a thousand dan per year. Is this still acceptable?"

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Xiongying and asked, "Are you feeling distressed because the clan has too much money? Can't you see how your uncles and brothers are doing well?"

"Of course it's good that they are living a good life." Zhu Xiongying said matter-of-factly, "It's just that the treatment from the clan is too generous, so that's not good. It will definitely be a burden to the court in the future. Grandma, just watch, the grandfather and the heirs can't tell the difference.

More than ten, these are all princes. The court should provide more than two hundred stones a year, which is just rice."

Zhu Xiongying continued to settle the accounts and said, "Our father may have several sons. After two generations, our Ming Prince will have thirty. When we have a dozen more sons, Ming Prince will have forty? By then our emperor

Uncle, even if one person has five children, that's not much, right? There are about a hundred county princes, and one person can receive two thousand dan. Is that still acceptable?"

Empress Ma felt a headache after hearing this and said, "Tell your father and your grandfather about these things and see if he doesn't scold you."

"I've already scolded you. You scolded me first, and in two days I'm going to scold our dad." Zhu Xiongying said in a small talk, mysteriously, "Dad is not happy anymore, and he also thinks it's a bit too much. If you want me to say,

According to the Tang Dynasty system, it is almost enough, and it is not bad for the clan."

Empress Ma sighed and said, "Your grandfather had his own thoughts on these things. It was too hard when I was a child, and I am afraid that my descendants will also suffer."

"That's it." Zhu Xiongying sighed and said, "I just want my children and grandchildren to have enough to eat and have good food and clothing. From now on, if the eldest brother's house has a dragon chair, the rest of the houses should be the same.

Even if a grandfather loves his children and grandchildren, there is no limit."

Empress Ma found it funny and said, "You know this, if you don't like it, just go and make trouble with him. He won't listen to what others say. If you go make trouble with your father, he still has to listen to it."

From now on, it's your turn to sit on the dragon's chair. If you make too much noise, he will weigh it."

This so-called weighing is not to consider another person to sit on the dragon throne, but to worry that the eldest son and grandson will reduce the family benefits if they sit on the dragon throne.

"Even if my grandson is used as a gunman now, someone will ask me to test my tone first, and then I will be scolded." Zhu Xiongying said with a frown on his face, "Our Ming Dynasty's prince is wise, he is tolerant and kind-hearted.

.The empty seal case that has been raging in the past few days was clearly handled by him. As a result, Emperor Hongwu gained a reputation as a murderous and harsh person."

Queen Ma found it funny and quite proud, "Are you still reasonable? How can you be so good?! After all, he is the boss's son, and he is a virtuous person deep down."

The Hu Weiyong case allowed Lao Zhu to reduce the power of the prime minister, and the imperial power began to be supreme without any constraints. And he had no intention of stopping completely. It would also implicate some of the founding heroes and weaken Wu Xun's power.

The empty seal case in the past few days is also about punishing corrupt officials. Lao Zhu must severely punish the corrupt practices of bureaucrats that have appeared since the Yuan Dynasty of Mongolia. This is what Lao Zhu should do to rectify the officialdom and rectify the corrupt atmosphere.

things.

It's just that in these two matters, Lao Zhu is the person who seems to be handling it directly. But there is also the shadow of Prince Zhu Biao who handles it. Especially in this case of empty seals, it is Zhu Biao who is handling it more.

The image of being kind and honest is also the character of the prince. The ruthlessness and decisiveness in his heart is the essence of Zhu Biao.

This also made Lao Zhu and Empress Ma extremely happy. The successor they carefully cultivated performed well and could definitely control the court easily.

Empress Ma remembered something and looked at her grandson lying on the chair. "Counting the time, it's time for you to study and make progress, right?"

Zhu Xiongying sat up immediately and complained, "I forgot the time when I was talking to my grandmother. My grandson is going to study and make progress. Just show your face, lest people say that the emperor's eldest grandson is tired of studying. The royal family should set an example.

You have to persuade people to make progress!"

Looking at her grandson's back, Empress Ma was also happy. This grandson is so smart. It must be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. He has made great efforts to govern, and the boss also has the appearance of a wise king.

Two generations of Mingjun can basically create a prosperous age. If the third generation is also a Mingjun, the Ming Dynasty will last much longer.
