Chapter 59: A Small-Scale Pilgrimage
"My child, my heart, come, let me see if you have become stronger?"
Queen Ma said as she helped him up.
"Hehe!" Ma was taken aback.
"What? What's going on? Look at you, your face is red, is it hurting the hornet's seal? β
"Uh... Father Mu Chun looked at Mu Ying, hesitated, and stopped talking.
Seeing that he couldn't get angry or speak, Queen Ma naturally understood, raised her hand, and pinched Mu Ying's arm:
"You don't look like a father at all? If you dare to beat my grandson, I'm not done with you! β
Zhu Xiongying was silent, he finally understood how precious these treasures left by the old lady to him.
His grandfather had more than twenty sons, all of whom were raised by his mother.
Of course, there are some who have passed away, or have been disposed of by grandpa.
Now those who can still be thriving in Daming are all in important positions.
Zhu Xiongying has no doubt that with these adopted sons, as long as the old lady wants to, even if she is the commander of the five major legions, she can bypass the commander of the five major legions and directly draw their troops from the army.
It's terrifying!
Even the captain of the guard team in charge of the entire palace, Ping Bao'er, would greet her in Kunning Palace, and occasionally snatch some sweetness from her mouth.
Mu Ying is the eldest son adopted by his grandfather, and he is also the eldest of several elder brothers, and when she saw him come home, her grandmother was very happy, her eyes were smiling like the moon, and she picked up the vegetable basket that had just dropped:
"Look at my memory, I grew it myself, it's good! come
As he spoke, he took out some watermelons from the basket, wiped them with his clothes, and then handed the watermelons to He Fu'er and Mu Ying.
"Haven't you eaten yet? I'll cook you some noodles! β
After speaking, he swept the dust off Mu Ying and He Fu'er, turned around and walked towards the lobby, "It's very cold outside, it's hard to eat, it's hard to rest, it's still comfortable here."
Mu Ying and He Fu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her and pulled her arm:
"Mother, you take a rest first, we just finished eating at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you talk to me."
Mu Ying and He Fuzui have been telling the old lady about their experiences on the battlefield, the old lady nodded from time to time, sometimes smiled, and sometimes wiped away her tears with her sleeves, Zhu Xiongying has not seen a person who can make the old lady so excited for a long time.
After lunch, everyone chatted until the evening, and finally Mu Ying and He Fu left the palace.
She was busy in the kitchen, cooking and cooking noodles while being busy in the kitchen, Mu Ying was lighting a fire, He Fu was preparing vegetables, Zhu Biao was no longer as arrogant as before, rolling up his sleeves and starting to cook, Zhu Xiongying was on a chair next to him, while peeling garlic, he was busy.
Just like back then, everything is so calm, so warm, this moment, as if it was that moment.
The difference between him and Tang Ling is that his son has grown up, his mother has become a strong man, and his mother also has some gray hair.
But he was still beaten, and he kept watching the play by the pot, and when he was not careful, he poured his father's anger into his heart......
I ate a very happy meal, and even Princess Ma, who has never drunk alcohol, drank a few sips.
Mu Ying waved at Zhu Biao and motioned for him to leave quickly.
"Please come back!"
"Then give him an extra ride." Zhu Biao sighed depressedly.
"Brother, you have to take care of yourself, I have also been for so many years, although you are tough on the outside, you are already haggard on the inside."
"Stinky boy, take good care of your father, don't let him drink too much, he is an alcoholic, and he likes to steal my father's wine since he was a child.
"He Fu'er, don't say that, look at you! Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying took the two all the way outside the palace, and it was getting late at this time. Zhu Biao waved to the people behind him as he walked back, signaling them to leave.
Subsequently, he gave another order to Zhu Xiongying:
"Your Uncle Mu is my father's adopted son, I grew up in his arms since I was a child, and in the future... Anyway... To your Uncle Mu's descendants, you must be merciful! β
"Son Province:"
Zhu Xiongying was silent: As the crown prince, he had never heard of Zhu Biao favoring someone or family for whom and what family......
To say that Mu Ying has now established his own mansion in the southwest, he is a prince of one side and a prince of one party.
My lord!
Zhu Biao was also drunk and talked a little more.
"At that time, your Uncle Mu was only thirteen years old, and he was still a little kid."
Running around in the mountains with me, playing ......"
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao's voice trembled a little:
"Brother Wenzhong, Brother Wenzheng, it would be nice if we could be like this forever."
Zhu Xiongying looked at this "Zhu Wen" in surprise, this is the first time it has been mentioned
Is it?
Zhu Wen, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's elder brother, one of the most powerful royal families in the imperial family, should be called "fourth uncle" according to his qualifications, in eighty-five days, he single-handedly resisted Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops, and he can definitely be regarded as a commander.
Even a veteran guard like Geng Bingwen is beyond his reach.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a holy edict asking to go to court.
It is said to be a "great dynasty", but the scale is not too large, it is nothing more than the heads of several official governments who came to Fengtian to speak and speak.
Compared with the momentum of the government hall in Beijing, all the officials who came this time were officials from the four products in Beijing, and it can be said that it was a small-scale gathering.
And in this group of people, there are Mu Ying, and He Fu, their eyes are very solemn, they are in the palace, they are just descendants, but in this Fengtian Palace, they are officials of the Ming Dynasty.
The costumes on their bodies are also similar, they are also dressed as generals, but the complements are different, He Fu is a third-order "complement", a "tiger", and Mu Ying is the "complement commander" of the five major prefectures, and he is a first-order "lion".
This kind of thing is not officially included in the etiquette of the court, that is, it is just an unwritten rule.
Mu Chun is different, he is wearing a bright red unicorn robe today, which is not an official robe, but a set of royal clothes.
This is when he was sixteen years old, the queen mother gave him, there is a unicorn pattern on his placket, and Mu Ying, He Fuer's placket has a lion, a tiger is sewn, and his placket has a unicorn pattern, but it is sewn with gold and silver silk threads, he usually regards it as a treasure, every time there is an important occasion, he will wear it on his body to show off.
"Up?" Zhu Biao always uses this clichΓ©.
"Get up" Zhu Xiongying shook off the sweat on his hands, and then led Zhu Biao and walked outside.
Today was his first time on the morning pilgrimage, so he was excited.
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Ming stopped him, his eyes fell on his belt, and frowned.
The small pier on the side:
"It's too easy, let's carve a dragon."
"Okay." Zhu Biao nodded very happily, and told him as he walked, he still knew a lot about his little guy.
"Your grandfather asked you to go to court, I don't ask you to soar into the sky, soar to the sky, but at least, you have to be steady and cautious!"
While talking, he straightened Zhu Xiongying's clothes:
"The ministers present are all ministers, the officials are all smart people, their eyelashes and hair are transparent, and it is easy to embarrass people in their words and deeds."
"I don't want your father's face, but I definitely don't want your grandfather's face"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that something was wrong:
"No, I can't!"
"If you embarrass me, when I go back, I must make you look good!"
When we came to the lobby, Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to put on the imperial clothes, although he was a little impatient, but with a smile on his face, he let the eunuchs do whatever they wanted.
He didn't wear this outfit for a long time, just because he was afraid of trouble.
"Let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at himself in the mirror, pulled Zhu Xiongying, and walked slowly to the Fengtian Hall.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Zhu Xiongying stepped on the emperor's throne and walked slowly.
On the throne.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped on the high platform, slowly turned his head, and glanced left and right.
"I'm waiting to meet the emperor, the emperor has a thousand lives!"
Standing on the high mountain, looking around, Zhu Xiongying could see the surrounding ministers at a glance, and when everyone fell to the ground, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but straighten his waist.
No one can oppose this supreme power.
Zhu Yuanzhang held his hands behind his back and stayed on the stage for a long time.
"Wake up"
The first emperor is terrifying, and the first emperor is even more terrifying, both ruthless and ruthless:
"You are summoned today for a matter to be discussed"
"Yunnan ......"
In the Fengtian Temple, it was extremely empty, and as soon as he spoke, a voice came, and he turned and sat down on the throne:
"Mu Ying."
"Tell me!"
Mu Ying said slowly: "The minister obeys the order!"
"As for the army, now the Ming Dynasty is stationed in Yunnan with Dali Wei, Chuxiongwei, Lin'an Wei, Yuezhou Wei, Erhewei, Qujingwei, more than 100,000 people, these hundreds of thousands of people, they have to use horses every day, and the daily food needs are tens of thousands of catties."
"As for the people's fat and people's ointment, it is even more difficult, the former Yuan Dynasty continued to fight, most of the civilians fled to the mountains and forests, I checked all the household registrations in Yunnan Prefecture, all the land, all the people, all of them did not match it."
"The people are not able to make a living, although there are many materials, but the business is not passable, and there are internal and external troubles
A lot of good goods, can't go out of the mountains"
"Although Burma and Annam submitted to the Ming Dynasty, they deployed a large number of troops on the border of Yunnan.
"Several indigenous leaders of the Luchuan Kingdom, unruly and unruly, do not respect the royal way, occupy the southwest of the Dian land, and are far away from our army."
Mu Ying came to ask questions, and emphasized some key points between her words, no money, no people, no land, and no food.
At the end of the day, it's just a word, nothing.
"Hmm......" Zhu Yuanzhang dragged out a long epilogue and said quietly: "You mean, there is nothing good?" β
Mu Ying is also a straightforward person, speaking straightforwardly:
"Yes, the people of Yunnan are loyal, honest, diligent and studious, and after experiencing the war of the former Yuan, their hearts have settled down."
"When I was in Yunnan, there were many indigenous people who worshiped the Ming Dynasty every day and wanted to join me."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, looked up at the Manchu Dynasty and said:
"Did you hear that?"
"Tell me about it!"
The civil and military officials talked a lot, as if there were thousands of mosquitoes flying around, and it was extremely noisy.
Zhu Xiongying also bowed his head and muttered, in the end, it is a prince, if it is him, how should he choose?
After arguing for a long time, there was no result, everyone, you and I said a word, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's patience was about to run out...
Wang Chong turned around, saw Zhu Xiongying looking thoughtful, turned around, and said to Zhu Xiongying:
"What do you think, eldest grandson?"
"Uh..." Zhu Xiongying wanted to speak and stopped, and only said after a while:
"I do have the intention of doing so.
"Shut up!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and signaled the group officials to calm down.
"Let's hear the opinion of the eldest grandson!"
When Zhu Biao heard this, the whole person was going crazy, and he looked worried and looked at Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: This is a matter of human life, this is to be forced by his father, but after all, he has been reciting the recital for his father for more than two months, and with his previous experience, he can say that it is reasonable!
He is not afraid, for he has seen the power of hundreds of thousands of people.
So Zhu Xiongying thought about it and said to the group of old guys who were eyeing him:
"The first thing to do is to register, and the court should count the people, help them build houses, open up farmland, and let them have food and a place to live.
Also, issue an announcement to all those who have fled to the mountains, let them know the national policy of our Ming Dynasty, and I believe that it will not be long before they will take the initiative to escape! β
Speaking of this, his eyes fell on Zhu Yuanzhang.
"In addition, I propose to move the people of Jiangnan to Yunnan and increase their number."
"Go on!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, stretched out a hand, and motioned for the scribe next to him to write his name in front of him.
"Secondly, it is grain and grass, I propose to establish military camps, private camps, slave camps in Yunnan, and vigorously develop water conservancy projects, using the water of the Nu River, the Erhe River, and the Dianchi Lake to irrigate the fertile land, and over time, maybe Yunnan can become the land of grain and grass in the Ming Dynasty!"
Even Zhu Biao was relieved, he shook his head a little crying and laughing, this guy is obviously very talented in government affairs, why does he like to fight so much?
"Third, Wang Daoxing, ruled the country by law, founded a school, recommended the bachelors of Guozijian to Yunnan, and educated the people, and governed a region.
"Fourth, there is a family, in Yunnan, the Huayi and the two ethnic groups live together, and the situation is very chaotic.
"As for the Ming Dynasty, each country has its own benefits, so we should treat everyone equally, buy people's hearts with benevolence and righteousness, use criminal law to restrain behavior, and use marriage and marriage to enhance exchanges between the two countries.
Seeing that Zhu Xiongying said so confidently, the ministers below gradually became confused and shocked, while Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he knew that his grandson was talented in governing the country.
Even the Hanlin Academy, which has little contact with civil affairs, may not have such insight.
"Fifth, in every place, there must be an official to assist in the local construction, and the local officials must also send their sons to Kunming as prisoners, and at the same time, they must also learn the civilization of the Central Plains and speed up the assimilation with the Ming Dynasty."
"Sixth, open up a new road, open up a new road, rice grain, cloth, salt, tea, notoginseng, cordyceps, sand kernels and other Chinese medicinal materials, are all under the control of the government, this is a kind of wealth, but also a powerful means."
After speaking, Zhu Xiongying took a step forward, his eyes swept over the hundreds of civil and military officials, and said in a deep voice:
"If this continues, Yunnan will be the world of the Ming Dynasty!"
"About Annan, Burma......" Zhu Xiongying paused, turned around, and smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, when we gain a foothold in Yunnan and are just a small vassal state, why worry? If he doesn't know each other, we'll send someone to beat him!" β
βOKοΌ Joyfully! Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard and said:
"Not bad!"
"How?" Zhu Yuanzhang said to the ministers, with questions in his words, but obviously, there was also a kind of raised eyebrows in his heart, waiting for the praise of the ministers.
Hundreds of people came back to their senses from the shock, what they were shocked was not Zhu Xiongying's words, what they were shocked was Zhu Xiongying's age, an eight-year-old boy, he could say such words, it was like a monster, it was really shocking.
"Great Tomorrow You, the East Palace Talent, Weichen Greets the Emperor!"
"Huh! This son is the son of the Zhu family! Zhu Yuanzhang turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Biao.
"Atai, you have given birth to a good child, what a blessing!"
After speaking, he turned around again, and his gaze swept over the civil and military officials below.
"Our eldest grandson's jadeite has been thrown out, shouldn't we throw your bricks out too?"
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked dazed and said leisurely:
"That's it, let's discuss!"
Zhu Xiongying was amused by the old man's words, but he was not arrogant enough to despise everyone in the court, even if he was trembling in front of the old man, but everyone was talented, and such a question was nothing to them.
Zhu Xiongying even deduced: Mu Ying was holding a detailed book in his hand, which recorded the current situation in Yunnan and how to deal with it.
He stood at the front and felt the deepest, and he saw this book for the first time.
Moreover, he only said a general idea: everyone will say that there is something to be done in "tuntian", "road construction", "water diversion" and so on.
However, without the will of the central government, if Mu Ying does not ask for instructions and does it without permission, even if he is grandpa's righteous son, grandpa will not show mercy.
If you want to dig out a river, it will be even more difficult, if you want to dig out a river, you can't dig it out in a few months, that is the fate of the Zhujiu clan.
To put it simply: say it at the top, do one thing at the bottom!
Moreover, this matter must be debated for several days before a conclusion can be reached, and this is only in the Hongwu Dynasty, such a debate is extremely efficient, if it is other emperors, it is common to argue for more than a month.
