The first day of the third year of the Apocalypse finally came, and as in previous years, Zhu Youxiao led a group of heroes to worship heaven and earth and returned to his Qianqing Palace, and led Empress Zhang and the two concubines, younger brothers and sisters to visit the Queen Mother. The queen mother is naturally happy to see so many people, this person has the idea of liking more people when he is older, look at these few children who are not biological, but they are still very filial, the queen mother naturally talks more, and Zhu Youxiao is also happy to have a happy family.

When Zhu Youxiao was happy to reunite with his family, Wang An came in and replied, saying that the three princes who had not yet settled in Beijing had come to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother. According to the queen mother's wishes, she will not see these people again, just let Wang An give them some rewards, and she does this every year. Zhu Youxiao suggested that the Queen Mother had better let them in, anyway, they are all a family, and they are all the closest direct relatives, and it is better for everyone to sit together and talk.

Soon, Duanwang Zhu Changhao, Huiwang Zhu Changrun, and Guiduanwang Zhu Changying entered in one after another, first kowtowing to the Queen Mother, and then meeting Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao also took his younger brothers and sisters to the three imperial uncles according to the habit of seniority, which made the three imperial uncles flattered, and they only felt that today was the right time, unlike in previous years, when they were closed on the first day of the new year.

Zhu Youxiao warmly invited the three imperial uncles to sit down and chat with them, so that they could let go of their mood and not feel restrained, after all, they were all a family. As he was talking, Wang An came in again to ask for instructions, and Zhu Youxiang, the eldest son of King Fu, gave the Queen Mother a greeting, Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said let him in. Soon Zhu Youxiang also came in to salute the Queen Mother and Zhu Youxiao, because Zhu Youxiang and Zhu Youxiao are of the same generation, so Zhu Youxiao let him sit under Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youxiao took the opportunity to pour tea for the Queen Mother and quietly discussed with the Queen Mother, since Zhu Youxiang also came to pay New Year's greetings, then should he let him meet Concubine Zheng, and by the way, he also took out the other imperial concubines, so that these people could also be happy, which also seemed magnanimous to the Queen Mother. Concubine Zheng is different from other concubines, she is still the mother-in-law of the current Queen Mother, which cannot be taken out casually, but she can be allowed to meet Zhu Youxiang, and it also shows that the Queen Mother is kind-hearted, and by the way, she also sends some good meals and dishes, so that other old ladies are happy. The queen mother also boiled out of the concubines, knowing that these old concubines are not easy, so she agreed to Zhu Youxiao's request and issued a decree, saying that the emperor is filial piety today, and the concubines will have a meal with the queen mother during the New Year, hoping that everyone will not live up to the emperor's kindness and live a good year in peace and harmony.

Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang An to arrange some delicious things to send to the old concubines of the Wanli Emperor, and the concubines were arranged by Zhu Youxiao to have a meal with the queen mother, the queen, the second concubine, and the imperial sisters. Zhu Youxiao himself had dinner with the three imperial uncles, Zhu Youxiang, and Zhu Youzhen, and during the banquet, Zhu Youxiao wanted to talk about some close topics with these close imperial relatives, deepen the relationship between these imperial relatives and himself, and gain their recognition of his governing philosophy.

Since the last vassal king meeting, Zhu Youxiao and these three imperial uncles have also met a few times, and now they have not yet become a vassal, and Zhu Youxiao does not plan to let them become vassals, but according to the old practice, the money that needs to be built in the palace should still be allocated, but now it is converted into silver, and Zhu Youxiao paid three times the amount of silver from the inner treasury together, because the land is no longer divided, Zhu Youxiao also has to compensate them for their land use fees like later generations, and after discussing with the three imperial uncles, three-quarters of the money will be invested in Tenglong Bank, In fact, it was Zhu Youxiao who gave them shares in charge, and in order to show that they were treated equally, Zhu Youzhen, who was named the king of letters, also enjoyed the same treatment, which made the three imperial uncles very moved and closer to each other.

Now these three imperial uncles and Zhu Youxiang are also studying in the Ming Dynasty Official School like Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youxiao means that they can all become capable talents in the future, lest they really be as early as in history, the entire Zhu royal family is almost collapsed, relying on Zhu Youzhen alone to support the overall situation, and in the end, only one holy decree can not leave the palace, although they do their best, they can only die. Zhu Youxiao has already pulled the entire royal family into the same carriage through Tenglong Bank, and he must also make them understand that only by working together can everyone enjoy wealth forever. But the strong premise of working together must be powerful, and if you are powerless, it will only be a burden on the car, which is the purpose of Zhu Youxiao to send them all to the Ming official school. However, judging from the current reaction of the teachers, these three imperial uncles and Zhu Youxiang are still studying hard, they have let go of the habit of being high, and can abide by all the discipline of the school as well as other students equally. Among them, the existence of Zhu Youzhen has played a considerable role, this little Zhengtai is almost a learning freak, he has dabbled in every subject in the school, and the results of every subject are quite excellent, and now the teachers in the school feel that he can graduate as a teacher, which has become an example for the three imperial uncles and Zhu Youxiang to learn, so that they have to work hard to catch up with this little Zhengtai, so as not to be embarrassed, so that Zhu Youxiao looks down on himself.

In the process of eating, Zhu Youxiao kept telling them the story of how some brothers who worked together in history to achieve success, and also told some allusions to the brothers who were bullied by outsiders because of the wall, so that the three imperial uncles and Zhu Youxiang understood that only by uniting around the emperor with Zhu Youxiao as the core, they could enjoy wealth and nobility from generation to generation, otherwise they could only be cleared of the circle of the royal family and become ordinary people, which also has a precedent in history.

In a cheerful atmosphere, the family banquet of the Zhu royal family ended, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied to send everyone back to rest, leaving Queen Zhang and the two imperial concubines to gossip there. The three imperial uncles and Zhu Youxiang also happily returned to their mansions, and they admired Zhu Youxiao's generosity very much. This made Zhu Youxiao feel that this family banquet was more successful, and as the head of the family, he was also happy, and after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, he took Zhu Youzhen back to his Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the serious-looking little Zhengtai Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youxiao was very uncalm in his heart, he had inexplicably traveled to this era, whether he would be as early as the Zhu Youxiao in history, and he was not sure. For the future of the entire Chinese nation, we must make some necessary preparations, otherwise even if the Jurchens cannot destroy the Ming Dynasty and the descendants do not work hard, they will still lose the country in the hands of others, and it will still make the land of China rise in smoke and the people suffer.

Zhu Youxiao made an important decision in his heart, that is, a complete set of national governance system must be established, so that the Zhu family can get out of the top of state management, just a spiritual symbol of the country, no longer the direct manager of the country, and the government organs in the future are the real power organs of the country. Of course, this must be at a time when the level of social education is quite high, and it may take two or three generations of effort.

In the evening, Empress Zhang walked into Zhu Youxiao's bedroom with a shy face, and implicitly told Zhu Youxiao that she was now eighteen years old enough, and Zhu Youxiao understood what the queen meant. It must be that the Queen Mother is complaining again today, think about it, she has been married for more than a year, and the pressure on the queen who has no children will be very great, so she will share the bed with Queen Zhang, which is also Zhu Youxiao officially got rid of the virgin identity after coming to this era, in the following days, Concubine Wang Liang and Concubine Duan Chun also shared the same room with Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao also tried his best to sow seeds, but never excessively.
