Chapter 4 What is a man's play?
Zhu Ying came to the two brothers one step ahead of the Lu family.
Looking at Zhu Yunxi, whose face was flushed and refused to give in, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
In another time and space, if Zhu Xiongying had not died, or if Zhu Biao had not died young, then Zhu Yunxi would have experienced a completely different life.
Speaking of which, poor Zhu Yunxi is just a victim of politics.
According to the regulations, the son of the original partner is called the son-in-law, and the son of the step-family is also called the son-in-law, but the right of succession is lower than that of the son of the original match.
In other words, it is the turn of the step-sister-in-law after the death of the original concubine, and then the eldest son.
After Zhu Biao's death, among Zhu Yuanzhang's remaining sons, only Zhu Di was the most capable of taking over the emperor's throne.
But Zhu Di is the fourth, and there are two older brothers above.
One of the two elder brothers made a lot of mistakes, and the other wanted to rebel, but they couldn't get Lao Zhu's trust.
It's a pity that Lao Zhu chose the primogeniture inheritance system himself.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to skip those two elder brothers and choose the fourth Zhu Di as the emperor.
I am afraid that their brothers will turn against them.
In desperation, he could only choose the emperor among the heirs left by the crown prince Zhu Biao.
Originally, after the death of the eldest son Zhu Xiongying, the second son Zhu Yunxi was the most qualified person to inherit the throne.
But because Zhu Biao's crown princess was Chang's, when Zhu Biao was still alive, Zhu Yuanzhang named Chang Yuchun's three sons as the crown prince, and also equipped Zhu Biao with a set of military generals that should not be underestimated.
And the general Lan Yu was also pulled up by Chang Yuchun.
Therefore, the thoughtful old Zhu believes that after establishing the weak Zhu Yunxi as the emperor's grandson, if he does not live to Zhu Yunxi to be able to control the power independently, then I am afraid that his Zhu Ming dynasty has fallen into the hands of the three Chang brothers and Lan Yu.
In addition, when he grew up, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Biao were very similar in temperament, and they were loved by Lao Zhu.
So on the issue of heirs, Lao Zhu decisively skipped Zhu Yunxi and chose Zhu Yunxi.
Perhaps in order to make up for the guilt in his mind, Lao Zhu took the title of King Wu before he was called the emperor as Zhu Yunxi's domain name, so that he could be a rich prince in Jiangnan for the rest of his life.
But whether it was Emperor Jianwen or the later Emperor Yongle, after ascending the throne, he never relaxed his guard against Zhu Yunxi, his sister-in-law.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunxi became the emperor, but he didn't let Zhu Yunxi become a vassal at all.
After Zhu Di became emperor, he imprisoned his nephew Zhu Yunxi, causing him to die violently at the age of 39.
Moreover, Zhu Yunxi's descendants did not enter the Zhu family's temple.
Fortunately, in this world, none of this has happened.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi were still holding on to the same thing.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yunxi glanced up at his brother, as if he had seen a savior.
"Big brother! He snatched my toys! ”
It turned out to be a painted bird carved out of wood and painted with several paints.
At this time, Lu Shi also came over.
"Why did Xiongying come to the back garden? Are you feeling better? ”
"With Lao care, I'm in good health!"
In Lu's heart, this eldest stepson, who was spoiled by his grandfather and grandmother, was rude and could not be disciplined.
He never called her "mother", and she got used to it.
Therefore, I simply let it go.
Lu Shi turned to look at her own son with a doting expression.
"Bing'er, my brother is younger than you! He wants it, you just give it to him! Let's go back and find a craftsman to make a more beautiful one for you, okay? ”
Zhu Yunwen saw that his mother was coming, and he was even more energetic.
"I picked it up first, why give it to him?! He's just a year younger than me, so I'm going to let him just because he's small?! ”
"You kid! Why are you so stubborn?! ”
"He should be the one who lets go! He's weak, so he shouldn't have robbed me of my things! ”
Zhu Ying touched Zhu Yunxi's head and asked with a smile:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhu Yunxi shed tears of grievance.
"Big brother, this colorful bird is what we saw together. However, I ran slowly, and he grabbed it first! ”
Hearing this, Lu Shi pretended to persuade again:
"Burn, let go! Just give it to my brother! ”
Zhu Ying wiped Zhu Yunxi's tears unhurriedly, and pulled his hand over by the way.
"Alright, stop crying! Yun Wei grabbed it first, and since he didn't want to give it to you, you shouldn't take it by force. In the same way, if the things in his brother's hand don't want to be given to Yun Wei, even if he wants it again, he can't get it! ”
Zhu Yunwen, who got the colored bird, was excited.
He cheered himself as the winner of the scramble.
"That's right! What my eldest brother doesn't want to give me, I won't rob it! ”
When Lu Shi heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and his whole face sank.
Zhu Ying squatted down, stared at Zhu Yunxi's eyes, and said seriously:
"Yunxi, although you are only four years old, you are also a little man. Men don't flick when they have tears, they can't be so weak in the future. You have to work hard to grow up to be able to keep what is rightfully yours! Do you understand? ”
Zhu Yunxi nodded as if he didn't understand.
"There's nothing fun about this bird! Let's go, brother will take you to make a toy, so that you can see what men should play with! ”
Zhu Yunxi was excited, and a smile bloomed on his face.
Zhu Yunwen instantly felt that the colored birds in his hands were not fragrant.
After Zhu Ying and the others walked away, Zhu Yunwen asked curiously:
"Mother, what is the thing that men should play with?"
"Yin and Yang weird! Who knows what the hell that little slippery head is talking about! Cook, you go back for me! Read well! ”
"Mother, didn't you say last night that the eldest brother was dying......"
Lu Shi quickly covered her son's mouth.
"Shhhh Remember! Don't talk about it in front of anyone in the future! Do you understand?! ”
"Mother, the child remembers!"
Looking at the backs of the two brothers gradually moving away, Lu gritted his teeth.
Zhu Xiongying woke up miraculously, and she felt that something was wrong.
After such a serious illness, he was still alive intact!
What's even more terrifying is that after this difficulty, his mind seems to be much stronger.
Where does his words and deeds look like a child who is only eight or nine years old?
Could it really be that his mother appeared in heaven and blessed him?
This kid should not be underestimated!
Thinking of this, Lu Shi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Zhu Ying took Zhu Yunxi's little hand, and under the leadership of Liu Zhi, he went farther and farther.
Maybe it's because Zhu Xiongying is too dazzling, Lao Zhu, Queen Ma, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di all like him very much.
They invited famous teachers to teach him reading, literacy, etiquette, horseback riding, archery, and trained him as a future successor from an early age.
No one will notice Zhu Yunxi, a little bit raised by the Lu family.
Although he lived with his brother in his father's East Palace, his relationship with his brother was not particularly close.
In his memory, his brother had never treated him like he did today.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi is very happy.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
"To the Creation Division!"
"The Creation Division? Is that where the palace makes utensils? ”
"Yes, my brother will be there to make you a new toy later."
Zhu Yunxi became more and more curious, and his two eyes kept rolling excitedly.
"Brother, what kind of toy is that?"
"That's a man's favorite, guns!"
