Chapter 284 Messy Household Affairs(1/2)
Chapter 286: Bad Housework
No matter what Zhu Ceng thought, it is certain that he has no room for opposition now. It is true that he is the King of Qin, but the leader of all the kings. Even if he is Zhu Xiongying's uncle, he cannot change his situation in formal occasions.
The fact that he is still a minister.
Zhu Xiongying, who has a serious expression, sat on the throne in court clothes, holding a jade gui with gold and jade inlaid, looks very solemn.
Zhu Shangbing brought his three younger brothers here. The fifth brother Zhu Shangfeng had just turned one year old, so he didn't come here this time.
Princess Pucheng and Princess Chang'an also rushed over. They actually dared not slackew on such occasions.
When Zhu Shangbing saw that his younger brother and sister had come, he immediately took a step forward, "My brother, Zhu Shangbing, the prince of the King of Qin, has heard that His Highness, the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, is inspecting Xi'an. Now he brings his brother and sister to bow to him."
Zhang Changping had a serious expression and said loudly, "Bay!"
Zhu Shangbing and others immediately knelt down, "My brother Zhu Shangbing (Zhu Shanglie, Zhu Shangyu, Zhu Shangyan), bow to the Emperor's Grand Prince, His Highness Qianqiu!"
Zhu Xiongying nodded slowly and said, "Dear brothers and sisters, please stand flat."
Zhu Shangbing and others stood up and stood up obediently. Zhu Shanglie's second son was only eight years old, so naturally he was not named a prince. Now he is just a prince.
After performing the rituals of the king and his subjects, Zhu Xiongying bowed to Zhu Xiong and bowed to him, "Nephew Zhu Xiongying, I have met the emperor's uncle."
Zhu Chuang turned sideways slightly and did not dare to really accept courtesy. But this is also a ritual process. First, he talks about the etiquette of the king and his subjects, and then discusses the etiquette of the family. This is also the rule set by Lao Zhu. He should abide by it a little when he should abide by it.
Seeing Zhu Xiongying nodding, Zhang Changping uttered another message, "The Princess Xuan Qin brought all the concubines of Qin into the hall."
Zhu Chuang's face looked ugly, and his children's expressions were also strange.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face was wearing a princess court robe and led several younger and more beautiful women into the palace.
The Princess of Qin is indeed not Zhao Min. Her expression is dull and dull. "My concubine, Wang, I will pay attention to the Emperor's Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu."
Zhu Xiong's expression changed, and Zhu Xiongying immediately got up after receiving the ceremony and walked down the steps quickly, "Second Aunt, don't be surprised, the court's etiquette system should not be abandoned.
Helping Wang up, Zhu Xiongying immediately bowed, "Nephew Zhu Xiongying, I've met my second aunt."
Wang was a little panicked, but he did not act even more out of character. As for Zhang and other concubines of Qin, they were still kneeling at this time. Zhu Xiongying obviously had no intention of letting them get up, nor did he think of them as his own family.
/p>
The concubines of Qin are indeed rich and prosperous, and the rest of their children have a good status. Even if they cannot inherit the title of prince, they will still have the position of prince when they grow up, so they will naturally be extremely rich.
But this is just that they were born in the royal family, and it was difficult for them to have the opportunity to enter the ancestral temple after they died. Even in the ancestral temple of the Qin Palace, there was no place for them. At most, their sons were filial and they were erected by the prince.
Pod.
This is the essential difference, the legal status of wives and concubines is very different.
That is, Zhu Chuang was ridiculous before, so he had some behaviors of "possessing concubines and destroying his wife". These behaviors were naturally something that Lao Zhu could not tolerate, so Deng was sentenced to death. This is also true that Zhu Chuang hated Wang even if he hated Wang.
The reason why she is only dared to imprison her and not kill her.
Some things may not be followed by some people, but it is obvious that if you do not follow some rules, don’t complain when you have to pay the price for this.
Zhu Xiongying said directly at this time, "Second uncle and second aunt, you should get promoted first. Shang Bing is going back to Xi'an today, so he should have a greeting."
Zhu Xiong's expression was even more ugly, but at this time he could only recognize him. Wang seemed a little confused at this time, but the next moment Zhu Xiongying held her arm and let her take her seat.
Zhu Shangbing's face was not good-looking, and he was still a child in his early teens, so he knew some things.
But Zhu Shangbing knew the rules and gritted his teeth and knelt down, "My son returned home today, I would like to ask you for your wish. Father Qianqiu and Mother Qianqiu!"
Zhu Shangbing's biological mother was Deng, the second concubine of the King of Qin. Even if his biological mother was sentenced to death by Lao Zhu, it would not affect Zhu Shangbing's status. Zhu Shangbing also knew very well that according to etiquette, not to say that his biological mother was gone, even if she was there,
'Mother' can only be the King of Qin!
Zhu Chuang smiled a little. He always liked Zhu Shangbing very much. "Shangbing, get up."
Zhu Xiongying, who was watching the ceremony on the side, said at this time, "Shang Bing, lead your younger brother and sister to kneel down to worship your mother."
Zhu Xiong's face looked very ugly, and he stood up and looked at Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, do you have to do this?"
Zhu Xiongying's face had no expression on his face and said calmly, "Second uncle, this time I visited Guanzhong, in addition to moving the capital to investigate, there were also many civil and military officials who reported to me that the second uncle had done it in the fiefdom. The second uncle killed some people and asked him to
They couldn't go back to Beijing. But their grandfather asked me to come over to see if they could bring my second uncle back to Beijing."
Zhu Ren's legs suddenly became weak. Although he was doing something wrong in Xi'an, he still locked up the palace more often. He never dared to interfere in local government affairs in Xi'an, and he did not dare to interfere in military power. Some of his actions in the palace did indeed make
Some officials from the royal palace couldn't stand it, and he did kill people to silence them to avoid the news leak.
However, if he really returned to Beijing, he knew that it would be possible to be removed from the royal title according to his actions.
He dared to kill some officials, but he didn't dare to have any thoughts about his eldest nephew.
Thinking about the evil posthumous posthumous title proposed by his eldest nephew before, Zhu Chuang was really worried that his father would not be able to bear it this time and would really kill him.
Zhu Xiongying naturally knew what his second uncle had. He didn't have the ability to manage local areas and had a few tricks to lead troops to fight, but because of his fierce and cowardly personality, his second uncle was actually not a master.
Looking at Zhu Xiongying who was a little lost, Zhu Xiongying continued, "If the second uncle doesn't believe it, I have my father's letters here."
Zhu Xiongying took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Changping. Zhang Changping quickly and respectfully gave it to Zhu Chuang. In history, Lao Zhu once summoned Zhu Chuang to respond to Tianfu on the grounds that he had too many mistakes, until the prince Zhu Biao inspected the inspection.
It was only after Shaanxi that the central government was reconciled, which allowed Zhu Chuang to return to Chang'an.
In fact, Zhu Ceng, who harmed Zhu Biao and others, was just kidding. Zhu Ceng was in Yingtian Mansion at that time. This was Lao Zhu's bad behavior that he really couldn't bear to see his second son, and it was also to allow the prince to inspect Guanzhong smoothly.
.
Looking at Zhu Shangbing, Zhu Xiongying asked, "Criminal King of Qin, can't kneel down?"
Zhu Shangbing's heart was trembling. When he was in the Grand Principal Hall, the emperor's brother always took care of them, but Zhu Shangbing was also afraid of the princes who looked kind on the surface, and the princes who were studying in the Grand Principal Hall, who were not afraid of them.
The emperor brother?
Zhu Shangbing immediately knelt down and respectfully bowed to the four bows, "My son Zhu Shangbing, has achieved success in his studies, so he came to report to his mother."
Wang's dull expression was not moving at all, but just spoke coldly, "Safe, calm."
Zhu Xiongying stretched out his hand, and Li Jinglong immediately took a ruler and knelt down respectfully.
Zhu Xiongying, who took the ruler, walked directly behind Zhu Shangbing and looked at Zhu Shanglie who did not kneel down, "Why don't you kneel?"
Zhu Shanglie was about to cry and knelt down in a hurry, "My brother is stupid, please forgive me!"
Zhu Xiongying still had no expression on his face and said directly, "Extend his hand."
Zhu Shanglie was still a little bit arrogant and didn't cry. After being beaten with two rulers, he kowtowed immediately, "Son Zhu Shanglie, kowtow to his mother, mother Qianqiu!"
Zhu Xiongying nodded and looked down at Zhu Shangyu who was kneeling down, "Who is your mother?"
The seven-year-old Zhu Shangyu subconsciously said, "My brother's mother Zhang..."
"Remember it!" Zhu Xiongying immediately scolded, "You are the 22nd grandson of Emperor Hongwu and the third son of the King of Qin! Your mother is the King of Qin's official concubine!"
After saying this, Zhu Xiongying continued, "Extend your hand and receive the punishment."
Zhu Shangyu cried after being beaten with two rulers, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, but he dared to cry.
Zhu Xiongying was angry that he did not fight and said angrily, "For the sake of your young age, I will not care about these things today. I will go back and copy some filial piety scriptures ten times and send them to your mother. The other princes and princesses will all copy them.
Five times of the Book of Filial Piety, I will send it to the princess in three days! If my handwriting is sloppy and my heart is not sincere, I will go to the royal palace and ancestral temple to kneel down."
After saying this, Zhu Xiongying looked at the Qin princess who had been trembling with fear, "You are still watching? Why don't you treat me?"
How dare the crowd of Yingying Yanyan say anything? He hurriedly saluted, "I wish you a visit to Your Highness, Your Highness, Qianqiu!"
Zhu Shangyu's mother Zhang actually looked down on the so-called Prince Qin's concubine, which is just a barbarian who has no offspring. Although she was not as favored as her early concubine, she had offspring and did not have to be locked up in the You Palace by the prince.
/p>
But now she is really scared. She basically ignores the princess, is rude, and dares not say anything, but she is a little sarcastic, even in front of Wang.
Now, the crown prince is making the decision for the princess of Qin, and Zhang and others also clearly understand that they are "concubines". Even though they look a little decent now, it is actually that. The Zhu family didn't even take it.
They took it seriously, and they would not be able to enter the Zhu family's ancestral hall a hundred years later. Even if the Qin princess is not favored, it is the royal family's jade letter with a famous surname and is the real Zhu family!
Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Xiong, and then said to the Qin princess concubines, "In the early years, the Qin princess did not know about human affairs and did not cultivate their virtues, so he was sentenced to death. He was the daughter of Deng Yu, the King of Ninghe, and only disrupted the rule of the Zhu family.
Those who are also merciless. Please consider carefully, how decent do you have to take Joe in front of the princess?!"
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Xi and said, "The concubine Deng was sentenced to death, so there was no master in the Qin palace, and no one was willing to look at her, so she was arrogant. Second uncle, this move should be taken seriously."
That's it. The prince ended up being poisoned by three old palace maids. Isn't this Zhu Ceng's mischief in the palace, so that the servants were afraid when they saw him. This one was really unhappy.
Just killing people.
Zhu Ren is scared now, and he really feels a little scared. He has been fighting with his father and brother over the years, but he also has his own confidence. He feels that as long as he does not rebel, his father and brother will definitely not kill him.
, at most, just scold.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Ren is just fearless, so he has such evil deeds.
But now thinking about it, he really feels scared.
The Emperor's Grandson inspected Guanzhong, and everyone knew that the main business must be to investigate the two cities of Xi'an and Luoyang. But no matter what, Zhu Ren, the leader of all the kings, knew that he was likely to be re-elected.
No emperor would allow a vassal king to be next to the capital, especially his talented father or wise and wise prince, who would not allow such a thing to happen. What's more, his young and brave nephew.
, and it will not be allowed to happen.
Lao Wu is now in his hometown in Fengyang, and it seems that he will not be able to go back to Kaifeng for at least a year. His cousin Zhu Tiezhu was taken back to his hometown to farm from Guilin again. It seems that it is impossible for him to be a vassal again.
These two royal families with very special status can no longer guarantee their future.
To be continued...
