Chapter 297: I advise you to stay in peace!
After Lao Zhu learned of Princess Anqing's intention, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
I wanted to scold my daughter a few words, but when I thought that I had killed my husband, I couldn't scold it.
As a last resort, Lao Zhu could only casually make a reason and perfunctory Anqing.
"Go and persuade your sister-in-law, she's the saddest ......."
As soon as Anqing heard his father's words, he knew that there was no drama in this matter today. But hearing the word "sister-in-law" still made her raise her eyebrows.
"My daughter only thinks that Chang is her sister-in-law, and she is not worthy of Lu!"
"Naka-chu!"
"What do you like, hurry up and comfort people."
"Anyway, my nephew is a relative, right?"
"That daughter quits......
An Qing saluted to Old Zhu, and then went to the inner room to talk.
In fact, she has never been a person of many words, although she came to comfort her father on the order of the emperor, but she has been sitting on the side dryly, listening to the eldest sister and the second sister, and she just nodded in agreement.
Princess Ning Guo symbolically said a few words, then got up and came to the outer room. Seeing that his father was sitting in the mourning hall sulking, he hurriedly stepped forward to pinch his father's shoulder and beat his back.
Lao Zhu grabbed his daughter's hand with relief, patted the back of his daughter's hand and said.
"Finally, there's a sweet little padded jacket!"
Princess Ningguo is a concubine, who has been spoiled by her father and queen mother since she was a child, and gets along with Lao Zhu very easily.
Now hearing Lao Zhu praise him like this, Ning Guo grinned, and then said mischievously.
"Father praised it!"
"Actually, the eldest sister and the fourth sister are also very good, they learned that their little nephew died, and they were afraid that their father would be sad, so they rushed over......
"Alas!"
Lao Zhu didn't know about the filial piety of the other two daughters, but this filial piety was a little degenerate.
"Don't talk about those two, let's talk about you."
"How are you and Mei Yin's life, did that guy bully you?"
Princess Ning Guo said with a smile when she heard this.
"How dare he?"
"It's good if my daughter doesn't bully him, hehe......
"By the way, my daughter entered the palace today, and I still have something to entrust to my father......
Lao Zhu felt a headache when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped Princess Ningguo's words.
"Advance Declaration!"
"If you're like Anqing's skinless and faceless one, and you're also worried about your nephew's family background, then don't talk to us about this!"
"It's not easy for your eldest nephew to save some money, and the child is reluctant to spend it himself, so he uses it to save dowry for his younger sisters."
"You aunts, you don't want to help that child, how can you still be like a thief stealing, worrying about your nephew's property?"
When Princess Ning Guo heard her father say this, she immediately called out to hit the sky.
"Father, you also think too badly of your daughter, right?"
"My daughter wants to entrust her father to return to him the shares of her eldest nephew in exchange for grain!"
"Look?"
"My daughter has brought all the vouchers and so on!"
Princess Ning Guo said as she took out a cloth bag from her sleeve and opened it in front of Lao Zhu, revealing a stack of equity certificates inside.
After Lao Zhu saw it, he was really relieved.
This look was prepared in advance, not because it was improvised.
"Ning Guo, you can have this heart, we are so happy!"
"Your mother, your eldest brother will be happy for you if he knows about this!"
"But you can keep this little bit of shares, and you should be the one who is the rebel grandson who honors you as an aunt."
"In the future, you and Mei Yin will help that child, even if you return his love."
"Father!"
"My daughter is not short of money, my daughter and Mei Yin are supported by the imperial court, and my daughter has opened a few grain stores by herself, which is enough for us to live well."
"If this takes advantage of the eldest nephew again, when we go over there in the future, how can we explain to the queen mother and the eldest brother!"
"You're still ......"
When Princess Ning Guo and Lao Zhu pushed each other, they suddenly heard a young man's voice behind them.
"Second aunt, you can take this, and it should be your nephew's filial piety."
"In addition, my nephew is not only to make money by starting these two chambers of commerce, but also to seek a new way out for our royal family."
When Ning Guo and Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yunxi say this, they immediately looked at the little guy curiously.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhu Yunxi gave Lao Zhu a salute, and then spoke.
"Grandpa Huang, your current behavior of mixing state affairs and family affairs is not a long-term solution at all."
"Now that there are few people in our royal family, the court can still afford it."
"But a few hundred years later, our royal family has multiplied a lot, multiplying hundreds of thousands, or even millions, what should the imperial court do when it can't afford it?"
"This ......"
Lao Zhu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, he had never thought about this kind of problem.
"Eldest grandson, you're a bit alarmist, aren't you?"
Princess Ning Guo is also a mathematical idiot, and she asks questions similar to Lao Zhu.
"Big nephew, what you said is not right, now there are only a few dozen people in the royal family, how can it be hundreds of thousands, millions?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the puzzled eyes of the two and said.
"Grandpa Huang, Second Aunt, do you two know what exponential growth is?"
The two shook their heads honestly, Lao Zhu was already good at math, but he was only limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and he didn't understand what exponential growth was.
In other words, there are not many people in the entire Da Ming who know, and it is estimated that there is only Zhu Yunxi alone.
Zhu Yunxi saw that the two of them didn't even know about the exponential level, so he didn't bother to explain.
"Forget it!"
"Let's talk about this later, in short, the imperial grandfather and the second aunt understand one thing, that is, if our royal family wants to multiply, we can't rely on the financial transfer of the imperial court, we have to rely on our own way."
"Grandson, this is a way out for our royal family, which is a new attempt."
Lao Zhu has his own opinion on this and does not agree with the words of the eldest grandson.
In his opinion, it is a matter of course for his family to support his own family.
It's just that it's really not suitable to talk about this matter at the moment, at least after the eldest grandson becomes the grandson, or succeeds himself as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
"You're here to worship your brother, too?"
Zhu Yunxi actually came to find Lao Zhu, but when he saw Lao Zhu say this, he could only climb up the pole.
"yes!"
"The grandson is here to pay homage to Zhu Yunxi, and by the way, I will come to greet the imperial grandfather again, and meet a few aunts again."
After Zhu Yunxi said this, he ran over to incense Zhu Yunxi's mourning hall, and symbolically threw a handful of paper in the brazier.
As soon as Lao Zhu saw his perfunctory appearance, he knew that this grandson was duplicitous. But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, Zhu Yunxi is still young, and although he has the name of a brother with this grandson, he actually can't see each other a few times a year.
Moreover, with Lu's mind, it is unlikely that Zhu Yunxi will be able to play with Zhu Yunxi, and it will be even more difficult to establish brotherhood between the two.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi really doesn't have much impression of Zhu Yunxi.
Because every time I saw the child, I was wrapped tightly by the palace maid and eunuch, and I couldn't even see a little face, where did I get so many overflowing feelings.
The reason why he ran over was just because he heard Lao Zhu coming over and chased after him to ask for an answer.
Lao Zhu asked after his eldest grandson burned the paper for his younger brother.
"Why are you hiding it from us?"
"You shouldn't have hidden such a big thing from us."
Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes and said.
"It's not that I'm afraid that you'll always worry about it, and it will affect your old age
...... body?"
"Alas......
When Lao Zhu heard this, a trace of remorse flashed in his heart, regretting that he couldn't see his little grandson for the last time, and he didn't let his little grandson see him for the last time, feeling very regretful.
"You kid came here to ask about the solution, right?"
"yes!"
"You don't know, my grandson hasn't slept well all night, and he's been thinking about it."
When Lao Zhu heard this, a trace of pride flashed on his face, thinking that he would make you a turtle, you still have to beg us after all, hahaha.
"You're too much to breathe!"
"If you want to govern a big country, don't be impatient......
"Anyway, the epidemic has been suppressed, why are you in a hurry to plant cowpox vaccines for the people of the whole capital?"
Princess Ning Guo stood aside, and was secretly shocked when she heard her father and eldest nephew talking in this tone.
She had only heard that her father loved Zhu Yunxi before, but now she sees that she doesn't just like it, she has already taught him to govern the country by hand!
Zhu Yunxi listened to Lao Zhu's words and refuted on the spot.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has a different opinion!"
"Tell me?"
"Grandpa Huang, don't you think that this epidemic in the capital is too strange?"
"Strange?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately thought about it, thinking of the news of the epidemic he heard first, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem.
At first, the disease was only endemic in coastal areas, but it was quickly suppressed. Later, it spread to the Gyeonggi area overnight, and spread both inside and outside the city.
"You're saying there's someone here on purpose?"
"Hmm!"
"Sun Er thinks it must be the White Lotus rebels who are secretly playing ghosts!"
"This spread of vaccinia vaccine is harmful, and it is also part of their plan."
"If we don't inoculate the people with new vaccinia as soon as possible, it won't be so easy to control when they spread smallpox again."
"If you don't know, the Gyeonggi region will bloom everywhere, and several prefectures will erupt at the same time."
"At that time, we will have little choice but to close the city gates and let the people wait for death in the city!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, a ruthless look appeared on his face.
"These traitors!"
"We really want to catch them all and hang them on the city gate......
Zhu Yunxi asked with wide eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"Is there bloodletting?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he glared at Zhu Yunxi viciously, and then reprimanded Zhu Yunxi with a calm face.
"Where did you hear this nonsense?"
"In the future, you are not allowed to learn from your third brother, if you want to learn, you can learn from your second brother, like your second brother, be a humble gentleman!"
Zhu Yunxi said with a shy face when he heard this.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is also a humble gentleman, and everyone outside praises me for being benevolent and virtuous, and I am a holy king who is difficult to find one in five hundred years!"
Lao Zhu saw Zhu Yunxi bragging so shamelessly, and smiled bitterly at Princess Ningguo on the side.
"Take a look, this is your shameless nephew, hahaha......
Princess Ning Guo echoed when she heard this.
"This is also Yun Xi's old closeness to you, so he speaks like this."
"If you change to someone else, you can't even talk badly when I see you, how can I amuse you."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"That's right!"
"This just has a clever mouth, and he makes us stupid old man happy every day."
Lao Zhu chatted with his second daughter for a few words, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi and said.
"Actually, it's easy to do!"
"You pull out your royal uncles, let them show the people the scars on their arms, and let the people know that they, the royal nobles, have planted pox vaccines, and the people will no longer be afraid."
"In addition, we are issuing a holy decree to the people of Beijing."
"Anyone who did not vaccinate the vaccinia vaccine within the specified time was exiled to Hamiwei with his whole family, and they obediently cooperated."
"Ahh
When Zhu Yunxi heard Lao Zhu's previous words, he only had a sense of openness, and secretly thought that he had really been separated from the people for too long, and he even forgot the leading role of the advanced.
However, hearing Lao Zhuhou's words, Zhu Yunxi secretly wiped his sweat.
This imperial grandfather is really domineering, and he wants to force this kind of thing through an executive order?
When Lao Zhu saw the expression on his eldest grandson's face, he knew that this grandson was unimpressed with his words, and couldn't help but explain a few words to himself.
"Great grandson!"
"We are killed from the people at the bottom with a knife and a gun, and we know best what the people at the bottom think."
"Actually, they don't have any ideas, they just follow the crowd, and they are easy to be used by people with intentions."
"Sometimes, even if it's for their good, you have to put on a fierce appearance and push it with coercive orders."
"This is the bodhisattva's heart, and the thunderbolt method."
"The same is true of governing the country!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately understood when he heard Lao Zhu say this, and bowed respectfully to Lao Zhu.
"Grandson be taught!"
Lao Zhu kindly patted his eldest grandson's head and said to him encouragingly.
"Go ahead!"
"Let's not go to court today, let's let you deal with it."
"No!"
Zhu Yunxi agreed, and then turned around and went to the front court to deal with the government. But when he just walked to the door, he suddenly thought of one thing, this matter must be consulted by Lao Zhu, with Lao Zhu's permission.
"Grandpa Huang, those concubines in the temple outside the city who chanted and prayed for their father......
Lao Zhu snorted when he heard this.
"Just leave them to fend for themselves!"
After Lao Zhu said this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
After all, there is still a Zhu Yunxi by his side, and Zhu Yunxi is still a child.
"They are naturally blessed by the Buddha, so you don't need to worry about it......
In Lao Zhu's view, those scourges can cause smallpox and die, and that is their creation. If she had followed her original intention, as early as when the emperor was buried, she would have dealt with these scourges that might corrupt the Zhu family's style and create a stigma for the emperor.
To let them live for so long is already an extrajudicial favor.
Now this grandson is still interceding for them and wants to plant cowpox seedlings for them, isn't this helping this group of scourges to prolong their lives?
However, the reason why Lao Zhu refused without thinking about it was that he was worried about another thing. That is, there is a young and beautiful woman with a ghost in her heart to seduce his eldest grandson.
Even if it's just a little gossip, it will damage the reputation of the eldest grandson.
"Grandpa Huang, God has the virtue of a good life."
"Although they can't get out of Buddhism, after all, they are still praying for their father's blessings, so let's plant them too."
"My grandson went to ...... by himself."
Lao Zhu flatly refused when he heard this.
"No!"
"Anyone can go, but you can't!"
Zhu Yunxi's head was big when he heard this, he never thought that Lao Zhu took this matter so seriously.
"Grandpa Huang, you should be accommodating."
"Even if you don't look at your grandson's face, you have to look at the faces of Mingyu, Mingyue, and Mingjue......
Lao Zhu thought stupidly when he heard this, what kind of face do those few money-losing goods have?
It's just that the second daughter, Princess Ningguo, is here, so I am embarrassed to say it.
But the eldest grandson has already talked about this, and if he stops it again, he will be a little unable to say it.
"That's it, Ning Guo, you go with you, don't let those scourges stick to our eldest grandson!"
"No!"
Princess Ningguo gave a salute, which can be regarded as an errand.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu also installed an eyeliner for himself, and he was depressed in his heart, and he wanted to tell Lao Zhu that he was not going.
After all, with his understanding of that Concubine Li, once there is an outsider, the woman may not say a word.
Lao Zhu saw the displeasure on the eldest grandson's face, but he still forcefully stuffed Princess Ningguo to him, and gave the edict directly to Princess Ningguo, and also instructed Princess Ningguo to keep an eye on the little rebel grandson and not allow him to run around in the temple.
Zhu Yunxi was even more depressed when he heard this, so when he went out, he pulled all the princes in the palace out on the street, and asked them to preach the benefits of planting cowpox vaccines to the people.
In addition, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were also asked to write a very stern decree in the tone of Lao Zhu.
The capital, the notice wall in front of the Yamen of the Heavenly Palace.
This is the window for the people of the capital to understand the imperial decrees, and it is also the distribution center of various rumors in the market.
"Look, there's a new notice from the Imperial Court!"
"Is there anyone literate to read it to us, and what did the court say?"
"Could it be that the emperor heard the call of our people and stopped forcibly planting the cowpox vaccine?"
While some of the peddlers' pawns were pointing around the signs, a few literate showmen walked over and exclaimed in surprise after just one glance.
"Get out of the way!"
"Today this is the Emperor's order carried by heaven!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The people listen to us, let's vaccinate ourselves with cowpox vaccines, except for occasional discomfort, we have been sleepy for a few days, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"Don't worry about being vaccinated boldly, don't listen to the White Lotus rebels."
"You just have to think about us, the emperor, when did he deceive you?"
"Later, we will send the prince to the street, so that our people can see that our emperors have been vaccinated with cowpox vaccine on their arms, what are you afraid of?"
"If someone is stubborn and destroys our statecraft, then we are welcome!"
"You must be vaccinated within 10 days, and whoever dares not to plant will be skinned, pumped by whomever we will have, and who will be hung on the tower of the city gate to bleed......
As soon as Lao Zhu's holy decree of grace and power came out, all the rumors about Lao Zhu's serious illness in the market were self-defeating.
If there are rumors that the emperor is too sick to serve on the council, there will be people who will refute this down-to-earth holy decree.
"You go and take a look at the holy decree posted in front of the gate of Tianfu, except for our Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty, who can write such an imposing holy decree?"
"Our Emperor Ming Zhu is in good health, and he knows how to peel the skin and cramp, hahaha!"
The princes over the age of ten in the palace were also mobilized by Zhu Yunxi. Let them follow the medical team, who is responsible for promoting the benefits of vaccinating the people. Whenever ordinary people question it, they will show the scar on their left arm to prove that they have planted it a long time ago.
Under such a double offensive, the promotion of vaccinia vaccine in Beijing has been very smooth.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi finally had time to go to the meditation nunnery outside the city to visit a group of Zhu Biao's widows.
When Zhu Yunxi was leaving, he specially ordered someone to bring all his younger sisters with him, so that they could also take this opportunity to reunite with their respective mothers.
In addition, Zhu Yunxi also ordered someone to call Chang Sheng over.
Concubine Li, the widow of the crown prince, obviously knows some inside stories, and with Chang Sheng's mother's family, it is easy to tell whether this Concubine Li is lying or not, whether she is fooling herself.
However, as soon as everyone left the Taiping Gate, they were blocked by a group of people.
Zhu Yunxi did not have his own exclusive car, but rode in the carriage of the founding prince Changsheng.
Chang Sheng saw that someone was blocking the intersection, and immediately said to the horseman.
"Let's go!"
"Let's not rush to the road, let's make it convenient for the other side."
The coachman of the Chang family had long been accustomed to his master's weakness, and he drove the carriage to the side without thinking about it.
Zhu Yunxi is not happy, he usually doesn't like to pretend, but it doesn't mean that he likes to be low-key.
"Second uncle!"
"You are also the founding prince of the country, there are only a handful of people in the capital who have a higher title than you, why do you meet anyone who gives way!"
Chang Sheng smiled shyly.
"The three emperors and grandsons have taught a lesson, but my uncle doesn't like to argue with others, and he just wants to keep the title that his father got in exchange for his life."
"Besides, it's just a way out, and there's not much to lose, so why not?"
Zhu Yunxi said with a depressed face.
"If I knew you were so cowardly, I wouldn't have learned martial arts from you......
Chang Sheng laughed when he heard this.
"You still have the face to say, tell me yourself, how many days have you not been to your uncle's house to practice martial arts?"
"Your aunt complained to me yesterday that she hadn't seen you in a long time."
Zhu Yunxi said happily when he heard this.
"You tell your aunt that I'll go after I'm done with the epidemic, and ask her to prepare more food for me!"
Chang Sheng was amused to laugh when he heard this, rubbed his nephew's little head lovingly, and then stretched out his head to look out, just in front of the person in the carriage opposite.
"Lu Lu?"
"It turned out to be the second master of the Chang family, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Lu Lu arched his hand towards Chang Sheng, and then passed by Chang Sheng. It's just that the two carriages staggered not far away, and the word "cowardice" came from the Lu family's carriage.
Zhu Yunxi was furious on the spot when he heard this, jumped out of the carriage regardless of it, and shouted at the Lu family's carriage.
"Who are you scolding for cowardice?"
"You stop for the master, believe it or not, the master broke your legs?"
Lu Lu's carriage really stood still when he heard Zhu Yunxi's shout, and then there was a gloomy sound in the carriage.
"I advise you to stay in peace!"
"Don't think that the emperor favors the three emperors and grandchildren, and your Chang family will be able to sleep in peace."
"As everyone knows, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other."
"If the Three Emperors and Grandsons have an accident one day, look how hard your Chang family is still angry!"
Zhu Yunxi didn't feel anything when he heard this, and a chill flashed in Chang Sheng's eyes.
