Chapter 148: The Three Poor Grandchildren
The clan of the Ming Dynasty will eventually become a burden on the society in the future!
Zhu Yunxi knew very well that in a few years, according to the current clan vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would bear the burden of supporting tens of millions of clan relatives for no reason.
That is a group of people who do not produce, consume people's fat and ointment, and continue to exploit local gluttony.
And with the emergence of party strife in the Ming Dynasty in the future, the local clans will become the same burden as the Ming clan, and the two are like two mountains, weighing heavily on the shoulders of the rotten wood-like sunset empire.
It's just that at this moment, Zhu Yunxi looked at the back of the old man in front of him, and he was also extremely clear in his heart, as long as the old man was still in charge of the emperor's authority and ruled the empire.
The clan system of the Ming Dynasty will not change at all.
It is true that the old man is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also the father and grandfather of the current clan of the Ming Dynasty.
More than 20 years ago, everything the old man experienced warned him all the time that he wanted to feed his family.
So this will also appear, why the second uncle, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was obviously in the fiefdom and committed the most taboo thing of the old man to oppress the people, but in the end he could only be whipped ten times with thorns and punished into the Taimiao.
On this issue, the old man himself is contradictory.
On one side is the people of the world, and on the other side is his own flesh and blood.
can do this now, Zhu Yunxi feels that the old man has gone through countless psychological balances.
When he was thinking about things, he didn't know that he had followed the old man into the side hall.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and walked forward.
With his hands on his hips, as soon as he turned around, he saw that his eldest grandson was about to bump into his Zhu Yuanzhang, so he couldn't help but stare at him, and stretched out a hand and pressed it on Zhu Yunxi's head.
"Why are you so distraught today?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, blew his beard, and teased.
Zhu Yunxi, who was blocked in the way, reacted and raised his head to look at the old man with an embarrassed expression on his face.
The prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was already quietly speaking: "Now that everyone who went to Zhongdu has returned, there is one more person, and he is afraid that his mind is not here." ”
The prince also teased, and then stretched out his hand to point, and the eunuch behind him followed the direction pointed by the prince, took a book and sent it to the prince.
Under Zhu Yunxi's expression full of grievances, Zhu Biao actually hummed and read the book.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the prince's explanation, his eyes also trembled, and he said: "Deflated calf!" If you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your grandfather? ”
Zhu Yunxi's face was anxious: "Grandpa, listen to my explanation......"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Let's not listen!" ”
He hummed, with a hint of food on his face, rolled his eyes, and did it cross-legged.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his arm, put it on the eucalyptus, touched a teapot, raised his head and puffed up.
Wait until he's had enough to drink, then let out a breath.
Then he looked up at his eldest grandson and moved his mouth: "Sit down, we are going to take the school exam, what did you understand today." ”
This kind of examination school, since Zhu Yunxi sat in the seat of the grandson of the emperor of the prison country, it has always been indispensable every day.
According to the old man's meaning, that is, to check and fill in the gaps, this procedure is indispensable.
Zhu Yunxi complied, nodded obediently, looked like an old man, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang look at his eldest grandson with a surging gaze, and said, "Tell me yourself first, what you understand today." ”
After asking, the old man began to carry the teapot that had been covered with pulp many years earlier, and slowly sucked the tea soup into the spout.
Zhu Yunxi's face was groaning, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Then, Fang slowly spoke, sorting out today's feelings.
"Today's meritorious military generals in the DPRK and China are asking for guilt, and civil officials are asking for performance, all for the sake of self-protection......"
As he spoke, he glanced up at the old man.
Seeing that the other party was still sipping tea slowly, he continued.
"Grandpa may have clearly understood early on, and they will come out of this sooner rather than later."
"And grandpa has been waiting, waiting for the second uncle to return to Beijing, so that he can suddenly reappear in front of the courtiers in the name of the second uncle."
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a pleased smile on his face, put down the teapot in his hand, looked at his eldest grandson with kind eyes, and nodded to continue.
Zhu Yunxi snorted: "So, at the beginning, grandpa didn't plan to delve into the things committed by the generals' families. Even...... The grandson thought that his grandfather knew from the beginning what they had done at home all these years. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Yunxi, humming and showing some dissatisfaction.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "There are also those courtiers who are imprisoned in Jinyi Weizhao Prison, and Grandpa has no intention of pursuing their family's crimes. ”
As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Grandpa is actually waiting for the second uncle to return to Beijing, so that the second uncle can resist this matter, and the words of cutting off the head were said by the second uncle." The matter of interceding for them was told by the grandson and his father. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi straightened up and bowed to the ground.
"Grandpa's words and deeds are for the sake of his father and grandchildren, and pave the way for his father and grandchildren. Grandson, Shane! ”
Seeing the eldest grandson kneeling in front of him to thank him, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of smiles, and couldn't help but turn his head proudly to look at the side holding the scroll in his hand, but his eyes swept to the prince here from time to time.
Zhu Biao suddenly rolled his eyes helplessly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also reluctant to let his eldest grandson kneel all the time, so he hurriedly reached out and patted him on the back, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Get up quickly." ”
Zhu Yunxi got up as soon as he was bone.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the eldest grandson in front of him, and he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes.
It's just that in a blink of an eye, he pretended to be suspicious and said, "Then tell me more, is there anything else you can understand today?" ”
Zhu Yunxi's expression was stunned, is there anything else?
Could it be that today's old man is not just using the name of the second uncle to save prestige and favor for himself and his father?
He couldn't help but frown.
muttered in his mouth, and reviewed it again: "Marquis Jingchuan and others ask for guilt, and civil officials ask for play." The second uncle entered Beijing and returned to the palace in time and took responsibility. Other than that, that's ...... The fourth uncle's good news! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi immediately took his head to look at the old man with a deep smile in his eyes.
He suddenly remembered that when he was outside the temple before, he was still thinking about what was missing.
At this time, it suddenly reacted.
"Grandpa hasn't rewarded the fourth uncle and the soldiers who won a great victory in this Northern Expedition!"
Then, Zhu Yunxi finally understood, but his face was a little hesitant: "But ...... Grandpa, are you going to hand over the matter of how to reward the fourth uncle and the army to your father or grandson? ”
The prince, who had no intention of reading on the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally expecting his eldest grandson to hold back a fart, was also helpless.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man's expression and said, "Isn't it?" Kindness...... It seems that it is indeed inappropriate, this is the authority of the grandfather, how the fourth uncle and the army should be rewarded, it is a military matter, and the grandson must not be able to do it well......"
As he spoke, he began to ponder again.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, and brushed aside the prince who put down the book.
"Money!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi raised his head and shouted.
He really figured it out.
But at this time, he looked at the old man who seemed to be smiling and not smiling, like the old man at the entrance of the village, sitting cross-legged in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi was really afraid and admired in his heart.
Seeing that the eldest grandson reacted, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly.
Zhu Yunxi's heart was like turning over the river and the sea at this time.
It's done!
It's all through!
These days, things inside and outside the world can be explained!
Starting from his own change of title to the county and Huaiyou, everything can be strung together.
He changed his title to Huaiyou, and the old man set a family affair with the Tang family of the Xinguo Mansion.
Subsequently, the father left Beijing to tour the west, and he left Beijing to go to Zhongdu, and the second uncle was edicted to return to Beijing.
At that time, presumably the battle in the north had just been won, and the soldiers were returning from their divisions.
Until today, after he came back from Zhongdu, he became the grandson of the emperor of the prison country.
The old man followed the second uncle back to Beijing and saved favor and prestige for himself in front of the courtiers.
And at that time, the old man must have known that the fourth uncle's good news would be sent to the palace today.
It was precisely this incident that really contributed to the old man's appearance in front of the officials of the DPRK and China after many days.
Subsequently, in the name of the second uncle, he gave Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen and others, as well as the punishment of civil officials.
Clear the acres of land, fine money, and raid the house.
It's all about the money!
The victory of the army is victorious, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to give a reward, and this time the fines and fines and the confiscation of the officials' property must be used to raise the reward for the army this time.
Zhu Yunxi's moment was like an initiation.
For the first time, I felt the old man's generosity, this kind of long-term foreshadowing and strategizing on top of the government.
Everything is like a doll in the hands of the old man, at the mercy of the old man alone.
It's just that......
Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man: "It's just ...... Are fines and confiscated property really used to reward the army? ”
He looked at the old man hesitantly.
It can't be that every time the Ming Dynasty wins a victory in the future, the imperial court will have to copy the officials once.
In a few years, there won't be a single official in this Ying Tian City.
The old Zhu family has really become the commander of the light pole.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and then the face of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty showed a touch of frustration: "This time they just hit the muzzle." However, our family really doesn't have the money to reward the army on the front line. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of frustration.
In the past few years, the imperial court has continued to use troops, if it weren't for the crooked fight this time, he really didn't know where to squeeze out the silver to reward the front-line army for a while.
"The Sword Comes"
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, never thinking that the finances of the Ming Dynasty had reached such a point.
He couldn't help but look at his father on the side.
Zhu Biao was targeted by his son, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "No money." This year's summer grain has not yet been delivered, and now the autumn grain has just been harvested, and the treasury is indeed out of money now. ”
"No money!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened, and then he thought that a few days ago, Xia Yuanji had been sighing and sighing, and he couldn't be happy all day.
At that time, the household department was already struggling with the brains, where should the court get the money.
Look at the helplessness on the faces of the old man and his father.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but pull down his shoulders.
For a while, the three most authoritative men in the world were distressed and sad about one thing at the same time.
It's just sudden.
Zhu Yunxi regained his spirits again, and his face was full of pride.
"Grandpa, father!"
"I know where to get the money!"
