Chapter 13: The Family Feast

Zhu Xiongying talked a lot about things with He Xi in He Mansion.

After the conversation, Zhu Xiongying said, "I still miss the food in He Mansion very much."

Zhu Xiongying said that it was a good part. What else can He Xi say. Naturally, Zhu Xiongying was left to eat.

He Xi's family of four naturally accompanies him.

Zhu Xiongying was very casual in front of Princess Anqing, and she really regarded this aunt as her mother.

For He Yuansi, and He Sinan's two children, they also love it very much. said, "Uncle, eldest cousin, and this year is not too young. I think it's time for him to do something. Why don't you let him make up a guard in the palace?"

Between the words, He Yuansi was already fifteen years old.

In ancient times, it was already considered an adult.

At this age, Zhu Xiongying followed He Xi to do things.

Now, Zhu Xiongying cares about He Yuansi, so it is better to give He Xi more tenderness and offensive, so that He Xi can think about more things, such as the future of the family.

He Xi said: "Yuansi is still young, it is the time to study, and at this time, he should not come out to do things. Wait for him to succeed in his studies in the future. It's never too late to mention it."

He Xi was also a little hesitant about He Yuansi's future.

He didn't know if it should be arranged. I don't know how to arrange it.

As a father, sons have always been a problem. The son who is too obedient will not have much success in the future. After all, people who have been able to do great things since ancient times do not have their own opinions and ideas, and even if there is much resistance, it is impossible to waver.

Don't talk about my father. Liu Bang's share of my share is proof of this.

However, since ancient times, there have been only a few people who have been able to achieve great things. It's survivorship bias. Most people who want to do big things die on the road to becoming big.

Looking back on everything that has come to this day. He Xi boasted that if not, he would bring this lot of things from the next generation, if not, Zhu Yuanzhang's careful cultivation. He could never have reached the position he is in.

His own son is naturally a very smart person. But among the world, the most important thing is smart people.

Of course, as He Xi's son, in many things, he is born with help. But in the current situation, He Xi doesn't think that it is a good thing for his son to roll in the court.

Yes, He Xi is to turn the Ming court in the direction he wants. But the problem is that this does not mean that above the Ming Dynasty, there is no right to fight.

In He Xi's opinion, this is even more. More often.

This is also related to the economic base.

In the agricultural era, the annual harvest was spring and autumn. There are so many interests, and the frequency of everyone fighting for them will not be too high. But in the industrial age, material production and weather are not necessarily linked. The increase in profits, and the acceleration of the cycle of the whole cycle of production, is reflected in the concrete work, and the frequency of work increases, and in political life, the frequency of struggle also increases considerably.

He's going to die. When he is gone, will his son be able to remain undefeated in such a dangerous situation.

It's hard to say.

Perhaps, having a father who is too rebellious is the biggest curse for every son.

Because every son fantasizes about becoming a father when he grows up. For some, it's easy, but for others, it's impossible for three lifetimes.

Xu Da's expectations for Xu Huizu are probably the same.

But pressing his son to be a rich idler, He Xi also felt that he was too cruel to his son.

But how to arrange it? He Xi didn't think it through.

As far as He Xi himself meant, it is best to let his son do scientific research and work online. After all, in He Xi's view, the current scientific basis is too simple. There are so many undeveloped strips of land. If He Yuansi does scientific research honestly, the old He family will also become a scientific research family in the future. It's not nice to say that it's called a learning valve.

Although, the academic world is not clean. He Xi has been fighting with those scholars and doctors for most of his life, and naturally knows that there are many righteous men and gentlemen among them. But there are also a lot of filthy villains

。

However, the academic circle is always a little simpler and cleaner than the rest of the circles.

has his own shadow, probably no one dares to give his children and grandchildren a black hand. After all, the gains outweigh the losses.

It's just that many things depend on the opinion of the child himself.

He Xi sent He Siyuan to study under Zhang Zongde very early, and Zhang Zongde was also a master in the field of machinery in this era. It has even surpassed He Xi a long time ago.

After all, He Xi can't do the steam engine by hand.

But He Siyuan's results under Zhang Zongde are not very good. Because he is He Xi's son, up and down, he doesn't dare to embarrass this eldest son.

He Xi's own plan is probably going to be stillborn.

He Xi secretly said in his heart: "If I have time, I have to talk to He Siyuan about it."

However, He Xi no matter what kind of arrangements He Siyuan has. But the plan didn't let He Siyuan go to the palace.

He Xi knew very well what Zhu Xiongying meant. Zhu Xiongying just wanted to use people to shackle He Xi, so that He Xi would give up some unrealistic ideas after weighing the pros and cons.

Zhu Xiongying is good to Princess Anqing and her two sons. It's true. After all, he had been in the He family for a long time. Zhu Xiongying's relationship with Princess Anqing is real.

But Zhu Xiongying, who has transformed into a politician, will not be completely emotional.

He also used this emotion to give He Xi more restraints.

The reason why He Xi didn't want He Yuansi to go to the palace as a guard was very simple, first, he didn't want He Yuansi to take the traditional noble route, that is, to be a guard in the palace for a period of time. The guards by the emperor's side did not have many things, but their official positions rose quickly.

Even every guard is an officer, not a soldier. When the time comes, it can directly start from hundreds of households and even battalion officials.

But He Xi didn't want He Xi to do things in the army.

After all, it's too dangerous.

He Xi has led soldiers and fought in battles, so he naturally knows that if he wants to fight in the army, what is important to do is his military exploits. It's a record. And the Ming Dynasty is far from being peaceful.

The future will be like a war between the North and the South. There are hundreds of thousands, millions of wars, of course, there are no more. But there will definitely be small wars, not to mention anything else, just King Yan, there is a regiment of troops in the imperial court.

In the future, King Yan will go west, and there will definitely be a certain number of forbidden troops accompanying him.

Not to mention, in other directions, there will never be less fighting on all fronts.

In the era of firearms, middle- and lower-level generals were far from being safe, and most of the middle- and lower-level generals commanded operations within the range of enemy fire.

In short, too dangerous.

Secondly, the relationship between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying is very delicate.

He Xi has a good relationship with Zhu Xiongying. Zhu Xiongying's speed of digging the foot of the wall under He Xi will be greatly improved. I have to admit that in this era, the identity of the emperor is a bonus for many people.

The future He Xi wants is a power system that is independent of the monarchy.

He Xi, as the founder, must make a good start.

Zhu Xiongying didn't care too much about He Xi's refusal. Over the years, this Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as finding a way to deal with He Xi, that is, to overcome rigidity with softness. If the husband does not fight, it will be difficult for the world to compete with him.

Zhu Xiongying only needs to make sure that he is in the position of the emperor, and he doesn't do anything else, just follow He Xi's wishes.

For three years that year, dogs were suspicious. Not to mention He Xi.

He Xi is in the position of the first assistant, and he really does a good job. But doesn't He Xi have any enemies of his own? It's not, every time He Xi does something, then there will be more people who are damaged because of He Xi's interests.

The bureaucracy itself, in fact, does not want to be troubled. And He Xi just wants to do things. In the eyes of many ministers, it is just a toss-up.

In this case, how can there be no objection?

Zhu Xiongying just has to wait.

After this family banquet, Zhu Xiongying left. But the influence he brought went deep into He Xi's home.

In the dead of night, He Xi and Princess Anqing lay in bed.

In the darkness, only the sound of the two of them breathing remained.

Suddenly, He Xi said, "If there is anything you want to ask, just say it. Don't hold back."

Husband and wife for many years, they have long been familiar with each other, and they can't be more familiar. He Xi could hear from Princess Anqing's breath that Princess Anqing was thoughtful. And what is this mind?

He Xi also probably had some guesses. Princess Anqing is the daughter of the Zhu family after all.
