Chapter 10: Five years old

Zhu Youxiao, who has the soul of an adult, is naturally different from ordinary babies, although he tries his best to cover himself, but just like the fireflies in the night sky, he will still be found to be extraordinary.

Especially the scene when he walked to the Qianqing Palace on foot, perhaps outsiders don't know it very well, but all the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace felt the stubbornness and firmness of the grandson, and the firm and persistent perseverance left a deep and shocking impression on all the people in the East Palace.

In this process, it was not that there were no eunuchs and palace maids who wanted to carry Zhu Youxiao to Qianqing Palace, but they were all rejected by him, he slapped with his small hands, refused all help, and used his little short legs to complete this section of the distance that seems to be a long distance in the eyes of adults.

This is a very persevering and assertive Lord.

This is the impression that every member of the East Palace has made in their hearts after this incident. Although this is absurd, the other party is only a seven or eight-month-old baby, what assertiveness can he have, what perseverance can he have?

It would be unbelievable to say it, but it is a fact, an irrefutable fact, and every member of the East Palace, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, thinks so.

People tend to yearn for the noble qualities that others have but they can't have, and this time His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun showed perseverance and perseverance, all of which are not found in the East Palace. Coupled with the noble status, all of them broke the hearts of everyone in Ciqing Palace.

What a natural saint!

Even Zhu Youxiao's cheap father, while proud, also sighed that he was ashamed that his heart could not even be compared to a child. Since then, he has become more and more indulgent to Zhu Youxiao's actions, and basically doesn't care about anything about him except for coming to see him every day.

In the case of Zhu Youxiao's increasing favor, the status of people close to him is also rising, not to mention being highly respected in Ciqing Palace, even when he goes outside, he is faintly flattered as a leading figure.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao is still young, except for the ten eunuchs and palace maids who came over from Wanli, there are only three women and four eunuchs, a total of seven people to serve. This also includes Li Jinzhong and Ke Yinyue.

Since then, Zhu Youxiao has lived a life of hugging from front to back, and every time he wanders around the palace, a group of people follow. But he never had anyone on his back or ride, and he walked on foot.

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty was very large, very large, very large. The Forbidden City, that is, the Forbidden City, which was often talked about in later generations, is just a part of the entire imperial palace, and of course, this is the most central part.

The Middle Sea, the South China Sea, the North Sea, and the vast area around Banzai Mountain, as later generations, all belong to the category of the Imperial Palace. Among them, Zhongnanhai and Nanhai are collectively known as Zhongnanhai, the political center of the later Celestial Empire.

The whole palace can be roughly divided by the Qianqing Gate, the south of the Qianqing Gate, can belong to the outer court, and the north can belong to the inner court.

Outside the Qianqing Gate, you may still be able to see the Han generals, the palace guards or the ministers of Zaifu, and when you enter the Qianqing Gate, you will not see a real man except the emperor. Except that the eunuch is the palace maid.

Of course, occasionally the emperor or the queen mother will summon ministers in the harem, but this is a special honor, and ordinary people do not have it.

Let's not talk about the outer court for the time being, after all, Zhu Youxiao can't touch it, and let's talk about the inner court first.

The organizational structure of the eunuchs in the inner court was the most perfect in the Ming Dynasty, and officially with this perfect structure, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty could repeatedly hold great power, and the good or bad life and death of all the eunuchs were in the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, the Ming and Qing dynasties were the peak of the centralization of the feudal system. However, the Qing Dynasty inherited the system of the Ming Dynasty, and everything began in the Ming Dynasty.

The most important institution of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was the 24 eunuchs and some attached small yamen. The functions of each department of these twenty-four prisons correspond to the outer court, and what you have in the outer court, the inner court has it.

And among the twenty-four prisons, the master of ceremonies and the imperial horse supervisor are the most important, compared with each other, the master of ceremonies is slightly more important, after all, the approval of the red right and the east factory are in the hands of the master of ceremonies, in contrast, the military power in the hands of the imperial horse supervisor is lighter, the number is not comparable, and the military power is relatively speaking, there are fewer places to intervene.

Zhu Youxiao's life is very leisurely, since he began to run, jump and talk, he began to wean. On the one hand, the amount of exercise is large, and the milk can't keep up, and on the other hand, the problem of self-esteem, Zhu Youxiao is not a real child after all, he still pays attention to his image, although no one knows, but he himself cares very much.

Strange to say, maybe because of the purple lightning, or maybe because of the time traveler, his body is getting stronger and stronger as he gets older, and his strength is getting stronger.

By the time he was five years old, his strength was no less than that of those fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, and he estimated that in a few years, he would have the strength of an adult male. But despite this, he is not tall, and he is still the same size as an ordinary five or six year old, but he is very sturdy.

At this time, it has been 1*** years, and in the past five years, it can be described as ups and downs, and the changes are extraordinary, however, the wind and rain of the imperial court cannot blow on the head of the little imperial grandson.

Wanli loves this grandson very much, and doesn't want him to become the focus of the courtiers, so he avoids the importance and shifts every time there is a topic about the grandson. The courtiers and the Donglin Party in the government and the opposition who take care of the overall situation do not want the grandson to have an accident, after all, the grandson is here, and the prince's position is stable, and no one wants the dragon to fly away like this.

Yes, there have been countless big and small things over the years, but they have nothing to do with Zhu Youxiao. Even with it, the prince who should have been disgraced and trembling was also relieved a lot.

However, there are no external enemies, but our prince is facing internal troubles. The contradiction between Xi Li Xuanzhi and Wang Cairen is becoming more and more profound, and it is almost a situation of fire and water, and as soon as they meet, they sneer, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and they are almost forced to fight.

Faced with this situation, our prince has a headache, is the beloved woman important, or the child is important? It's a really hard choice.

Of course, for the prince, this is really not a choice question, obviously, the beloved woman is important, and the grandson that the old man likes is not the grandson's mother, so why do you need to think about it?

Under this guiding ideology, it is natural to know what our prince should do. It's a pity that there is a noble imperial grandson underneath, and Wang Cairen's waist is also very hard, and the prince retracts when he comes out, and as soon as the prince is gone, he will find the field from Xili Xuanzhi. After all, Wang Cairen's legal status is far above that of Xi Li's selection of servants.

In this regard, the prince could only express helplessness in the face of the crying Xi Li Xuanzhi.

And all of this was seen by Zhu Youxiao.

"I can't even control my own harem, no wonder Wanli doesn't like you." Zhu Youxiao shook his head, and then walked away on his own. Others are soft-spoken, and it is not suitable to participate in this kind of thing.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao doesn't like the woman Wang very much. He speaks harshly and harshly, without any quality of humility and housekeeping. A typical villain is rampant when he gets his will. I don't care much about my children, except for enjoying the honor brought by my son, I don't care about my son's life at all, and I push it all to my wet nurse Ke Yinyue.

Zhu Youxiao, but he grew up with the care of Ke Yinyue, no wonder he was so honored with Ke Yinyue in history.

Of course, although Wang's character is not good, it makes Zhu Youxiao breathe a sigh of relief, after all, a mother who is younger than his previous life, he feels awkward every time he meets.

It's good now, just say hello in the morning and evening, and I'm busy with my own business the rest of the time.

In the past five years, Zhu Youxiao has been a sheep-herding life, and what he wants to do depends on his own preferences. In the foreseeable future, I am afraid that his life will continue for a long time.

A.D. 1*** year, the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar. The western calendar is probably more than July, and the specific number is, Zhu Youxiao is not very clear.

After getting up early and finishing his morning exercises, he hurriedly had breakfast, and then changed into a homemade white practice uniform and went to the Imperial Horse Prison. The practice uniform is very wide, which will not hinder the movement of the limbs, and it is all made of silk, which is very comfortable to wear on the body, and its style is a bit like the standard clothing in the taekwondo gym in later generations.

The little white clothes are worn on the body, and with the serious expression of the villain, it looks very cute. However, none of the palace maids and eunuchs who served next to him dared to laugh, and all of them prepared various things for him in an orderly manner.

Salt water, towels, various snacks and foods to replenish energy, medicines to cool off the heat, and put them in the same way.

Today, he's going to the Imperial Horse Warden.

In the past five years, relying on his small people and high status, Zhu Youxiao has visited all the places he can visit, such as the deep palace compound, the ceremonial supervisor's duty room, and the cold palace.

Five years is enough time for him to think clearly, although he doesn't have a long-term plan, but he at least knows one thing, power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Now that people are small, they can't grasp the army, but they can strengthen their own force, such a good talent, it's a pity not to practice martial arts.

But he knew that his ascension to the throne was not a smooth one. The ghost only knows if the butterfly effect will affect anything, and when there is an accident in the palace transfer case, he hangs in the chaotic palace, and there is really no place to cry.

Outside the grandson, he can't get out of the palace, so if he wants to practice martial arts, there is only one place to go, and that is the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

As the only military yamen among the twenty-four prisons, it is also the last barrier of the Ming Emperor, and there are countless masters in it.

The guard work of the entire imperial city can be said to be completed by the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Jing Guard, and from the perspective of the hierarchical system of the guards, it is obvious that the Tengxiang Four Guards, the Four Guards Battalion, and the Warrior Battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor are closer.

Coming out of Ciqing Palace, leaving the Forbidden City from the Donghua Gate, and passing through the north gate of the east, you will arrive at the territory of the 24 eunuchs, where the vast area is listed with countless institutions serving the emperor and nobles, and the imperial horse eunuch is among them.

Standing at the gate of Ciqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao moved his hands and feet, and then began to jog, and the eunuchs carrying things behind him also ran. Among them is Li Jinzhong.

"Quick, keep up." A middle-aged captain on duty at the palace gate saw this scene, greeted his subordinates and followed
