Chapter 384 The Emperor’s Thoughts

When he saw Zhu Xi appearing holding two children, one on the left and one on the right, Zhu Yunyong suddenly fell into a trance. His sister had grown up, was married, and was the mother of two children.

Now she is no longer the little girl she once teased, no longer the little girl who followed her to catch butterflies and pick flowers. Now she is also the mistress of Prince Mu's Mansion and the eldest princess Taiping of the Ming Dynasty.

!

Zhu Yunyong looked at Zhu Xi who was getting closer and closer with a smile, but Zhu Xi could not help crying. During these years in Yunnan, she liked her current life, but she also missed the people in Yingtian Mansion very much.

"Sun Chen pays homage to Grandpa Huang!"

Lao Zhu showed a kind smile and said to Zhu Xi, "Get up, we are tired from traveling all the way. When we were young, we were also afraid of expeditions, so it's hard for you to bring two boys with you."

"My nephew pays homage to the emperor's uncle."

"Nephew, nephew."

Zhu Yunyong laughed loudly and hugged his two nephews, "Okay, uncle knows! Let's go have a meal, your aunt has prepared delicious food!"

The family was reunited, and the generous Lao Zhu even allowed Wang and Lian Qiongqiong to come over with their children.

Zhu Yunyong, who was in a good mood, summoned the painter after eating and drinking. Although Lao Zhu was a little 'resistance', Zhu Yunyong seemed to have a firm opinion. This big family was about to have a family portrait, and he and Zhu Yunyong stood on the left and right.

Behind Lao Zhu, he held his respective eldest son.

As for Xu Miaoqing and the Sang family, they are also qualified to stand here and hold their children. Although those children may not be born to them, they are mothers in name only.

Lian Qiongqiong and Wang are naturally not qualified to enjoy such treatment at this time.

Zhu Yunyong was indeed very happy because his sister was back and he also saw his two precious nephews who he had always wanted to see and hold.

After the meal, the adults chatted about their daily life, and you could see the children running around and making noise in Chunhe Hall. Zhu Yunyong was also very happy.

When Lao Zhu saw such a scene, he was naturally even more gratified and happy, and maybe occasionally a little regretful, because his eldest son was not here. His wife also did not get to see such a scene of family happiness.

Although he was a little reluctant to leave, Zhu Yunyong still knew some rules, so naturally he couldn't keep his sister and his family in the palace for the night, so he had to let them out of the palace.

Although it was only a short gathering and a reunion dinner, Zhu Yunyong was still very happy. Because his sister's family would not leave Yingtian Mansion for a short time, so naturally there would be no shortage of opportunities to meet. This was also a pretty good

good news.

Muchun, the Duke of Guizhou, came to Yingtian Mansion. Many people were sensitive and concerned about this news because Mu Chun's identity was so special.

Mu Chun, that was Mu Ying's eldest son, inherited the title of Duke of Guizhou. Mu Chun, who guarded Yunnan, could definitely be regarded as a 'frontier official', and even had more real power than some princes of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the envy of countless Wu Xun. When Lao Zhu ordered Mu Ying to guard and develop Yunnan, this was not to send Mu Ying to a remote place, but to give the Mu family a foundation for sustainable development, allowing the Mu family to develop in Yunnan.

The ground has truly taken root.

As Lao Zhu's favorite and valued adopted son, Mu Ying stayed in Yunnan to guard it after Yunnan was pacified. During his ten years in southern Yunnan, he promoted farming, encouraged teachers to teach farmers and cultivate mulberry trees, promoted virtuous people to schools, spread the culture of the Central Plains, and stabilized the frontiers.

But now he has gained the unparalleled trust of Lao Zhu, a treatment that even Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong have not received. Because the descendants of the Mu family have guarded Yunnan for generations, such a treatment is a treatment that other Wu Xun could not even imagine.

.

In fact, many clans are quite thoughtful, and some even have some who are not balanced mentally.

After all, Mu Ying is just Lao Zhu's adopted son. How can he get a piece of land to guard for generations?

Even Lao Zhu's nephew, the Governor Zhu Wenzheng, was put under house arrest after making a mistake. Although Lao Zhu cared about family ties, he gave Zhu Wenzheng's son Zhu Shouqian the title of Prince Jingjiang and established the vassal vassal in Guilin.

As a result, even if Zhu Shouqian plundered and killed innocent people, Lao Zhu had no choice but to put Zhu Shouqian under house arrest. After Zhu Yunyong came to the throne, he neatly cut off the vassal, and Zhu Zanyi, the new King of Jingjiang, lost his fiefdom, and

The other clans are exactly the same.

The clan basically has no chance of becoming a vassal, and it is impossible to control the military power in the fiefdom and become a local emperor. Because everyone knows that today's emperor does not like the idea of ​​​​many feudal lords and many lords.

Just looking at it now, since Prince Mu's Mansion can get the opportunity to guard Yunnan all the time, then if there is a commotion on the clan side, they might really get some opportunities.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's current plan to cut down the feudal lords was not really a blunt knife. Everyone knew the emperor's intention to cut down the feudal lords more than ten years ago.

In the past, when the great emperor was on the throne and the late emperor was still there, the emperor's grandson was young and his opinions were not that important. At that time, Lao Zhu was also granted the title of king one after another, and some princes were granted vassal status one after another.

But look at it now. The Ming Dynasty has been vassal without a prince for more than ten years. Through measures such as changing the title, some vassal kings have to leave their fiefdoms and return to the capital. After becoming a local emperor, they are just sitting in the vassal state.

The wealthy prince of Yingtian Mansion has two completely different feelings.

Just like some princes, even if they feel that their chances are slim, they still care about the throne. The same goes for princes. If they cannot become emperor, they will still have some pursuits. It is also good to be a vassal king with some real power.

In fact, many people also know that in the final analysis, the Mu Prince's lineage is the court's ministers. They seem to rule Yunnan forever, but they have no real military power. As for the previous vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, although they did not have administrative power, they

After all, he still has thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the treatment is different.

Zhu Yunyong also knew some things, but as an emperor, he not only had to preach the Constitution and stick to his word, he also needed to have a certain ability to withstand pressure. Many things are not so easy to change.

The ministers have already lined up to enter the Fengtian Hall, and Mu Chun is naturally the one who attracts a lot of attention.

Originally, there were fewer and fewer courtiers in the court who followed Lao Zhu to conquer the world, and many second-generation Xuns had already entered the court.

Xu Huizu, Chang Mao, Li Jinglong, and Mu Chun, these four great princes were originally at the top of the hierarchy, not to mention that each of them was inextricably linked to the royal family, and all of them were relatives.

Xungui is paying attention to Mu Chun. Many people want to be the importance of the Mu family to Yunnan. Even if they don't have such great power, there is nothing wrong with saying that the place is smaller and more remote.

The civil servants are a little wary. Although the status of civil servants seems to have been slightly improved compared to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is still worse than that of Wu Xun. Seeing Wu Xun's luxurious lineup now, naturally it is even more luxurious.

And solid.

Starting from the Supreme Emperor, they have been suppressing and reducing Wu Xun. And now Zhu Yunyong is doing the same. He seems to be eliminating some nobles. However, the Wu Xun Group that can still remain in the court seems to be more

It is more reliable, has a solid foundation and is not prone to overturning. This is not good news for Wenchen.

The young Zhu Yunyong walked towards the dragon throne. Wang Chengen looked solemn and naturally opened his mouth to sing praises. Civil and military officials also wanted to pay homage to the emperor.

"Everyone loves you for your peace of mind."

Amidst the sounds of gratitude, the civil and military officials stood up and began to prepare to start the morning court again. Compared with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunyong treated the civil and military officials preferentially. During the workaholic era of Lao Zhu, let alone the morning court, the afternoon court

Night dynasties also happen from time to time.

Xu Huizu took the lead in reporting according to the rules, and Zhu Yunyong just listened patiently. It was nothing more than the adjustment of the guard station, or food, wages, weapons and other matters. After all, it seems that there are not many major events in the country now, at least not at all.

What war.

Zhu Yunyong listened patiently and suddenly asked, "Duke Qian, you are in the southwest, what do you think about these things?"

Muchun immediately left the class and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I have no objection."

Muchun was very grateful to the royal family. If it were not for the adoption by the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, his father would not be able to survive. Because of the training and care of the Empress Dowager, and because of the Emperor's important use, his father made great achievements and became famous all over the world.

The Mu family is extremely loyal to the royal family, because the royal family has always been very generous to the Mu family.

Zhu Yunyong smiled and continued to ask, "Then tell me about those toasts."

At this time, many people began to take it seriously. It can be said that the southwest border is the place with the most chieftains. These people have their own land, manage their people, rule their soldiers, inherit their duties, rule their places, and follow their families.

Being granted a title by him is more like a local emperor than some vassal kings who have not been granted vassal status.

Even Muchun, who was guarding Yunnan, couldn't take care of everything like the chieftain. They were all independent small kingdoms.

Today is an ambitious emperor, and many people know this. Those chieftains will probably be dealt with by the emperor sooner or later. Maybe the current inquiry can be regarded as an ambush in advance, and they need to start making serious preparations.

.

Mu Chun naturally began to state some things seriously, which was also one of his duties. The imperial court's control over some areas in the southwest was indeed not particularly strong, not to mention Mu Chun also knew that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to use the southwest as a base to conquer Annan.

Wait for the small country to take over.

These things are all his work, and these things are also the reasons for his ambition.

If you do these things well, you can serve the country and reflect your own value. Only in this way can you repay the royal family's trust.

Zhu Yunyong is listening attentively, and all civil and military officials are listening attentively. Only by following the emperor's footsteps can we make contributions and achieve a prosperous official career!
