The twenty-first year of Chongzhen is the most stable year for Zhu Cihong to stay in the palace in the past five years. For four months, Zhu Cihong did not leave the Forbidden City, and the farthest was only riding a horse and archery on Wansui Mountain, which was a sports activity. Because of such an opportunity, Zhu Cihong has more contact with his family, but he can't talk about warmth and joy.

In this family, Zhu Cihong is already old and young, and there are younger brothers and sisters next to him. Sister Kunxing married a good son-in-law, and now the husband and wife are happy, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Among the two younger brothers, King Yong has a military heart, and he can enter the martial arts hall in Beijing when he is older, and he can become a vassal after graduating from Wubei University, and there is nothing to worry about.

However, his younger brother Dingwang made Zhu Cihong a little displeased.

His Royal Highness is seventeen years old. At this age, Zhu Cihong has already been able to train his troops and show his royal flag. However, Wang Zhu Cijiong did not show his talent in any way, and he was very interested in military, politics, history, literature, economics, and art...... There is not the slightest interest or talent in these fields.

Zhu Cihong was worried that King Ding was bewitched by the villain and practiced the strategy of taoguang and obscurity...... Far from being necessary, such an act is stupid. Could it be that the crown prince who holds the power of the empire would be worried that his younger brother will be disobedient? The so-called Taoguang is actually delaying his best learning age and delaying his life.

However, under the investigation of Dongchang, one thing was finally determined: King Dingwang is not Taoguang Yangyang, but a simple mediocre person.

Zhu Cihong didn't know how hard Lu Dao's conclusion hit him, but he was sure that he would rather learn that Cijiong wanted to rebel than believe that he was just a "mediocre person".

A seventeen-year-old philistine man has no ideals and ambitions, and does not have any hobbies that are beneficial to his body and mind and his country. All day long, I hope to be a perfunctory adult, waiting to release the feudal kingdom and live a corrupt and depraved princely life...... Zhu Cihong's heart was furious when he thought of this. He even tried to recall his previous life when he was seventeen years old, so as not to use his two lives to criticize his younger brother. However, the result of the memories made him even more painful, he had already decided on the major he wanted to study at the age of seventeen in his previous life, and he was working hard day and night to study for the university of his dreams.

"Actually. King Dingxing may just have an undecided heart, and when he settles down, he will naturally know what Lu Dao likes. Duan whispered for King Ding, just like an eldest sister-in-law should do.

"It's not a matter of the uncertain nature of the mind." Zhu Cihong said: "If he likes to visit gardens, he should ponder what is good about various gardens; If he likes to listen to plays, he should think about what kind of play is good; If he likes good wine and good food, he also has something to ponder...... I'm an open-minded person, and no matter what he wants to do, I'll support him to go ahead. But what about him? Everything he did was superficial. Waste of time! If you continue like this, you will definitely achieve nothing! ”

Duan followed behind Zhu Cihong, restrained his hands and feet, and said in a low voice: "Not everyone has to have the achievements of rebuilding the world like you. ”

"Wrong!" Zhu Cihong said firmly: "People's achievements are not compared with others, but compared with themselves!" Shang Tang engraved 'Gou Ri Xin, Ni Ri Xin, and Ni Si Si How much can I expect him to accomplish? But I just hope that he will be more and more 'new' day by day. Don't live in vain. ”

Duan had never seen her husband so angry. In the past few days, the courtiers have been determined to compete with him, and they have never seen him so angry.

"King Yong loves military affairs. I let him go to school. Speaking of which, what military talent does he have? There are many people in the army who are better qualified than him, does Daming want him to fight? Zhu Cihong pulled King Yong out for comparison: "But people should have their own hobbies and goals, not to be unprecedented, just to be a 'new people'!" ”

Duan suddenly chuckled and said, "Looking at the appearance of the young master, it looks like a younger brother." It's like it's for my son. ”

Zhu Cihong choked: "The eldest brother is like a father!" Don't just look at me and say Cijiong, you yourself are the same. I thought about the long future, so I didn't talk about you. ”

Duan's face flushed and said, "What's wrong with the concubine?" ”

"You're a long-lasting person yourself. Last month, I was able to practice riding horses every day, and this month I rode three times. A mandarin duck handkerchief. I was still embroidering vigorously before, but I took it out and threw it down after two or three stitches in the past few days. After reading other people's words, I felt that it was good to practice calligraphy, so I bought you a set of scholar's treasures, but I didn't even practice a shelf, so I didn't see you write...... What are you crying about? Where have I wronged you? ”

Where has Duan been disciplined like this since he was a child, listening to her husband's series of falls, she was embarrassed and angry, at first she just bit her lip, trying to suppress the sourness in her nose, but finally couldn't help sobbing.

Zhu Cihong felt tightness in his chest, took a heavy breath, and only felt that the fragrance of osmanthus in the air was also so sweet that he was greasy, as if everyone was against him.

"Don't cry, the royal father and the imperial mother are still waiting." Zhu Cihong slowed down.

Duan couldn't hold back his cry and choked up: "It turns out that the concubine is so unbearable in His Royal Highness. ”

"It's not too bad." Zhu Cihong went over and stroked Duan's back: "It's just a little ignorant." As I said before, why can some people do it and some people can't? It's nothing more than a gap in perseverance. This can be cultivated slowly, and there is no rush for a while. ”

Only then did Duan feel that his chest was relieved, and he choked up and said, "Hmm." ”

Zhu Cihong wiped her tears with her handkerchief again, and then continued to walk forward. Today is to appreciate the fruit in the consequence garden, Chongzhen deliberately wants Zhu Cihong to combine work and rest, and he is not allowed to ask for leave. Zhu Cihong has been in Beijing for a long time, and the accumulated things have been straightened out one by one, but he is indeed free, and he has more time to study the physics and chemistry of the Ming system.

Now that he has learned Daming Pinyin, it is no problem to look up the dictionary.

Chongzhen saw his son come over with his daughter-in-law and grandson, and he was very happy. Especially the inscriptions sent by the General Administration Department recently are all good things, for a while, it seems that the sea is blue, the prosperity is imminent, and the natural mood is comfortable, and the whole day is full of joy. In Chongzhen's opinion, as long as he can maintain this state and pass on the emperor's throne, he can be the emperor with peace of mind.

Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang were surprised to find that the crown princess had tears on her face and her eyes were red and swollen. They are all known to be "Brother Chun" temperament, and it is very rare to know how to restrain everything when they are angry. So who else can make the crown princess cry like this?

"What's going on at home?" Zhou Hou pulled his daughter-in-law and asked in a low voice.

Duan Shi hurriedly shook his head and glanced at the crown prince with a slight resentment.

Zhu Cihong pursed his lips and turned his head to pretend not to see it.

Zhou Hou also glanced at his son. At this glance, he saw that he was a perfect person, and there could be no mistakes, so he persuaded his daughter-in-law: "I am already a mother, how can I be petty?" Big and small things and follow the husband's will is the way to be a family. ”

Duan felt even more aggrieved when he heard this, so he had no choice but to nod.

"Queen Mother," Zhu Cihong went up to relieve the siege, "She cried ugly by the words she wrote, nothing serious." ”

Zhou Hou and Zhang Hou laughed out loud, and even Duan himself couldn't help laughing.

"I still have your ugly words!" Zhou Hou feigned anger and glared at her son, which can be regarded as comforting her daughter-in-law.

Duan was also quite surprised, and said, "The young master also wrote ugly characters? ”

Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "At that time, I just picked up the pen, and it was crooked, and it was simply unsightly. It was supposed to be burned, but the middle palace refused, and it must be kept for the children and grandchildren. ”

"I also ask my father and His Majesty to issue an edict that all the books written by the sons and daughters before the age of three are sealed in the inner treasury and cannot be opened forever." Zhu Cihong joked seriously.

"My will can't control the head of the middle palace, you asked the wrong person." Chongzhen stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhou Hou smiled heartily and said, "See if you don't come to beg me?" ”

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to step forward and call "Mother" as a plea, making the emperor, Empress Zhang, and the crown princess laugh and lean back together.

Chongzhen laughed for a moment, suddenly stopped, and sighed: "My family can finally enjoy the joy of family, but the relatives are scattered, which makes people sigh." He couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that many vassal states in the country had been expelled because of the severance of their heirs. Especially the Rui Kingdom, which was originally the fifth son of Shenzongshu and was very close to the imperial family, was also killed by Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhu Cihong also fell silent. It was difficult for him to understand where his father's concept of kinship came from. He had never seen any of those princes. Now the closest bloodline Fu Fan is the grandson of the temple, and Chongzhen has never met the emperor at all twenty years ago. His vassal kinship is even more distant.

"I heard that King Jing has been in power for two years, and his son has not been able to attack the seal, I don't know what twists and turns?" Chongzhen asked.

King Jing's line is the sixth son of Renzong, and it has been passed down to the present day more than the imperial line. Regarding the issue of King Jing's raid on the feudal domain, the Zongren Mansion has been reporting it for the past two months, and the most serious one is that if the prince of King Jing is not allowed to attack the feudal title again, the prince will starve to death.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Cihong to believe such exaggerations.

"It's true that the retainers pressed it." Zhu Cihong said frankly.

"Is there something wrong with the Jing King system?" Zhou Hou also asked.

Zhu Cihong was also very concerned when he saw Zhang, knowing that this was a family matter, and his rash handling of it was already an infringement of the authority of adults. However, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and it is said to be a family matter, and it is also a national matter.

With theoretical support, Zhu Cihong also had the confidence to say: "Father, mother, and aunt." He paused, and then said: "The cost of the vassal country is huge, and the harm to the country is clear to the world. Therefore, the retainers want to change the ancestral system, only the virtuous king, and those who are not worthy of the ancestors will not be divided. ”

Chongzhen was speechless for a while. He knew that the consumption of the imperial court finances by the king of the Dao Dao domain had reached the point where he had to face it squarely, and he also knew that with the current number of surviving clans, the same problem would be repeated in less than two hundred years. But according to what the crown prince said, only the king of Xian was crowned, which is a little difficult.

Key point: How do you know who is good and who is not? (To be continued......)
