August 16, the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, is the first birthday of Zhu Hegui, the eldest grandson of the emperor. Before noon, Zhu Cihong took his wife and children to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, and met his father, mother, queen's aunt, and Concubine Yuan.

Today is also the emperor's eldest grandson's Sunday, not only the old people in the palace are here, but even Kun Xing also entered the palace early in the morning to see what the little nephew will catch.

At this time, the bed in the side hall was already full of all kinds of small objects, including jade, pens, books, knives, and even abacus...... This kind of prediction of future careers should not have appeared in the palace, especially for the eldest grandson of the emperor, his future career has basically been determined: to be crowned the emperor's grandson, and then when the time is ripe - his father and ancestors will ascend to the throne.

The reason why this kind of unfounded ceremony was held was that Zhu Cihong wanted to release a signal.

Even if his son is not virtuous, he may not be able to become the heir to the throne.

Therefore, there are two completely different expressions in the temple, and those who understand are dark-faced, and those who do not understand are beaming.

The only one who really understands the crown prince's intentions, but still has a smile, is His Royal Highness Yongwang. He really didn't know what the benefits of being a vassal king who was controlled even out of the city, if it weren't for the fear of being sent to Fengyang by his father and the emperor to confine, he sincerely hoped to change his background - for example, the Jiangmen family would be very good.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, who turned one year old, was put down by the nurse and selected by himself among a bunch of things.

"This custom is also called a trial, but to see what the child's enlightenment education and future temperament will be." Zhu Cihong explained to the expressionless Empress Zhou.

He knew very well that Zhou Hou was expressionless, and this was the biggest dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, Zhou Houli didn't pay attention to it, and Quan Dang didn't hear it.

Zhu Hegui, who was only one year old, sat on the bed and faced a large number of utensils of uniform color. The face is confused. Finally, he saw a round thing, reached out and grabbed it, just enough to hold it in his hand, and immediately stuffed it into his mouth.

The nurse on the side was half frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to dig out the contents of his mouth. Only then did he say: "Congratulations to the emperor, the little master, the emperor's eldest grandson grabbed a grain of sugar, and it will definitely be sweet and blessed in the future." ”

Zhou Hou turned his head indifferently and said to his son, "What did you just say?" Is it to see the child's enlightenment? ”

Zhu Cihong was also a little embarrassed. The child's enlightenment work is basically what he is doing, who knows that Lu Dao has raised a foodie.

"It's good to have a mouthful." Chongzhen said a little pointedly, but the word "ah" at the end of the last word seemed to be sighing.

Since ancient times, how can the dragons and phoenixes face today's crisis? As a member of the royal family, he may face the dilemma of working in the field by himself.

Zhu Cihong subconsciously turned to King Ding and King Yong. This is the reason why Chongzhen really cares.

It's not a big problem to make other clans miserable, and Chongzhen is not unable to accept the theory of "the sage is king". However, if it is implemented on his own son, this is a little difficult to accept. The so-called palms and backs of his hands are all meat, Chongzhen is indeed very partial to the prince, but it does not mean that he does not love his other two sons.

Yongwang Cizhi seemed to have made up his mind to join the army, and after struggling for several days, Jingshi Wutang finally sent the admission letter to the General Administration Department. It is said that he is only a non-commissioned officer when he comes out of the martial arts, not even an officer. It's really starting from scratch. However, after five years of service, he can keep his title, and it is not a big problem.

Dingwang Cijiong is a little worried. If you follow the classification method of the crown prince, he belongs to the unscrupulous.

Although the artistic achievements of the Ming Emperor's family are not as good as those of the Song Dynasty, the emperors since Xuanzong, whether they are calligraphy or paintings, are worthy of being masterpieces when they are taken outside, and they are in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. It also carries forward the art of woodwork to the extreme. This kind of dual advantages in genetics and teachers can't even make King Dingwang appear "virtuous".

Zhu Cihong heard what his father meant, and after thinking about it, he decided to talk to King Ding.

After the end of the Zhou ceremony, the people gathered in the Qianqing Palace also dispersed, and Zhu Cihong stopped King Ding on the way.

"Cijiong." Zhu Cihong said: "I just have something to tell you." ”

Zhu Cijiong had no choice but to hide the boredom on his face. stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Huang." ”

Zhu Cihong stepped down and pulled Zhu Cijiong as he walked: "Have you ever thought about what kind of person you will become in the future?" ”

Zhu Cijiong already knew about the crown prince's so-called theory of Fengxian, and he was worried in his heart, so it would be better to talk about it at this moment. He said: "Brother Huang, the Ming Dynasty has its own ancestral system, and this matter should not be talked about by the younger brothers." ”

Zhu Cihong didn't beat around the bush with him, and said bluntly: "If you want to attack the seal in the future, you must have the title of master's degree or doctorate." Have you thought about what field you want to specialize in? ”

"Imperial brother......" Zhu Cijiong paused before saying, "Brother only wants to be a Prince of Peace with peace of mind." ”

Zhu Cihong's finger nerves jumped involuntarily. He suppressed his anger and said, "Hmm, Prince Taiping, just like King Fu? By the way, do you know how the old Fu King died? He was thrown into the Dading by Li Zicheng, cooked with venison to a pulp, and then eaten. They said it was called the feast of blessings. Are you talking about such a Prince of Taiping? ”

Zhu Cijiong's face was already pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "Really, really has such a thing? ”

"My brother," Zhu Cihong sighed, "do you know why this world's surname is Zhu?" ”

"Because of the ...... of the ancestors' cloak and rain"

"Yes," Zhu Cihong nodded, "It was the ancestors who beat it down." For 5,000 years in China, only our Taizu was the only one who really started out of white and conquered the world. The real vassal king Jing is difficult to control the world, and only Chengzu is alone. Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang began to shout, 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning'? And the only one who really achieves the ultimate is the second ancestor. As a descendant of the second ancestor and Miao, you still think that you can be a Prince of Taiping by relying on your own 'seed'? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both people who didn't believe that the emperor had a kind, so they became emperors. Isn't it ironic that their children and grandchildren believe that the emperor and prince can be decided by blood?

"This world will not be peaceful in the next three hundred years." Zhu Cihong said in one sentence: "If you look at the economic book I wrote, you should know that our current productivity is insufficient, and the land of China is too small and barren compared to the land outside. I can tell you unequivocally that as long as I don't die, there will be no peaceful days in the next fifty years when horses release Nanshan swords and soldiers into storage. Do you still want to be the prince of peace? ”

"Brother Huang......" Zhu Cijiong almost cried, "Little brother, I am stupid, I can't learn anything well, I am timid, and I faint when I see blood...... What can the little brother do? Please also ask the royal brother to spare the younger brother for the sake of his mother's compatriots. ”

Zhu Cihong frowned: "What did I force you again?" I just don't want my brother to be a wreck! Zhu Cihong suddenly saw that the crown princess was looking at him, realized that he was a little excessive, and immediately calmed down and said, "You are seventeen this year, ...... at this age."

"I know that Brother Dao Huang is already fighting for the Ming Dynasty at this age!" Zhu Cijiong also raised his voice: "It's just that there is only one imperial brother in the world after all, can everyone be born like the imperial brother, long and divine, and strict with himself?" The royal brother himself did not say that people are like parts in a table clock, they are different, and it is because of the differences that the world can work? ”

"I did say that." Zhu Cihong waited for Zhu Cijiong to finish venting, and said coldly: "But you didn't find your location." There are no useless parts in a grandfather clock. You are my younger brother, the king of my father's title. I can't cut your title, but if you can't introspect and find your place in this clock, I won't agree with you. Oh, and you've heard that, right? Starting from next year, all the clansmen of the Ming Dynasty will have no rice to receive. ”

Leaving this sentence behind, Zhu Cihong didn't want to say anything more. The prince of Taiping, a rich idler, may satisfy many people.

In fact, it's a form of laziness.

The reasons for this laziness are different, some are because the social environment is difficult, even if you work hard, you can't get rich, you can't withstand repeated blows, and some people will surrender to laziness. However, the king does not belong to this category, he belongs to the more essential vices: indulgence and hard work.

This is unacceptable to Zhu Cihong. In his home, there is no room for a lump of mud that cannot be supported by the wall. It is a pity that King Ding is his younger brother but not his son, and he has the obligation to advise and guide, but he does not have the right to teach and punish.

"I have an autumn official, and I don't want children anymore." Duan walked up to Zhu Cihong and muttered in a low voice.

"Huh?" Zhu Cihong didn't react to why the crown princess suddenly said this.

"I'm afraid that if I have another child, I won't like Qiu Guan." Duan's Road.

"How can it be ......" Zhu Cihong blurted out, and suddenly realized that this was his wife reminding herself: Zhou Hou's two sons, the eldest son is certainly virtuous, but it does not mean that she doesn't like the younger son.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

"Can't it be counted from after the king and the eternal king?" Duan said in a low voice: "It also saves the imperial father and the imperial mother from feeling uncomfortable." ”

Zhu Cihong raised his head and sighed, thought of his son again, and said, "You still have to have a few more children." ”

"Huh?" Duan's face blushed.

"Cijiong and I are brothers, and we have the same set of genes." Zhu Cihong said: "It can be seen that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different." ”

The Duan family didn't understand the question of genetics, but the latter sentence was very clear: If Qiu Guan doesn't look like the crown prince when he grows up, he probably won't have the throne to sit on. In order to avoid the situation that the Ming Dynasty does not have a helmsman in the future, the crown prince should have more children just in case.

This sounds like a good thing, but why aren't you happy at all?

Thinking of his sons falling into a situation of competing for the throne, the Duan clan couldn't help but feel terrified. It wasn't until the crown prince asked her when she was last popular, that she reacted, the crown prince was not scaring her, but really had such a plan, and now she has begun to count her days. (To be continued......)
