The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

Princess Funing is the eldest daughter of His Royal Highness, and also the only daughter at present. Her full moon ceremony is very grand and lively.

The brother Zhu Zhanji is very generous. He took out a lot of gold to make a longevity lock, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of anklets, and an amulet for his sister.Amulets made of gold.

He did not send the amulet to Jiming Temple for consecration, but he wore it for a month first.

Everyone said he was auspicious and a lucky star.He also said that the things he wears can bring good luck to other people, so he will wear them himself first, and then give them to his sister after the amulet is stained with his breath, and the sister will be blessed.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu also rewarded Princess Funing with a lot of good things, but certainly not as much as they gave Zhu Zhanji before.

After the full moon, Princess Funing grew up a lot, and also looked a lot more beautiful. She was no longer wrinkled like when she was born, but she was not half as beautiful as her brother.

The little Princess is always with the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess is not very beautiful, at most she is delicate, so the Little Princess is not very beautiful.Not only that, the little princess is not as good as her brother Bai.Of course, the little princess is still relatively white compared to the princess of Zhao Wangfu.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Mingzhen originally thought that their daughter would be as beautiful as their son, but they didn't. This disappointed them a bit, but they were soon relieved.

Princess Funing is as well-behaved as her brother when she was a child. She seldom cries, only when she is hungry and when she needs to change her diaper.However, one thing she is different from her brother is that she is quieter than her brother.

Zhu Zhanji didn't cry or make trouble when he was a child, but occasionally he would make a sound, babbling a few times.However, Princess Funing, apart from giggling when she saw her brother and making an "ahhh" sound, she didn't make any sound at all other times.

If I hadn't heard her cry and laugh, I would have thought she was dumb or a fool.

Zhang Mingzhen is out of confinement.She had just finished her breakfast and went to Kunning Palace with her daughter in her arms to pay her respects.

It is now April, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the sun is shining brightly.Zhang Mingzhen thought about holding her daughter and going out for more walks and soaking in the sun.Blindly staying in the house and not going out is not good for my daughter.

Empress Xu became pregnant two or three months later than Zhang Mingzhen.After a while, she will give birth too.

During this period of time, she was heavy and had difficulty moving, let alone going out, even going to Qiongyuan to enjoy the flowers was difficult.She can only take a walk in the courtyard of Kunning Palace.

Zhang Mingzhang came to visit Empress Xu with Princess Funing in his arms, mainly to accompany her, divert her attention, and let her not worry about the next childbirth.

Empress Xu's belly is too big, she wanted to hug her second granddaughter, but she couldn't, so she could only stand aside to tease her second granddaughter.

Princess Funing not only did not give face to Zhu Gaochi and his wife, but also Zhu Di and Empress Xu.No matter how funny the four of them are, Princess Funing will never laugh.

The weather was fine today. Zhang Mingzhen carried her daughter and accompanied Empress Xu for a walk in the yard, and then sat down in the yard, resting and basking in the sun.

Princess Funing's big round eyes turned around, but her small face showed no expression.

Empress Xu stretched out her hand and gently poked her second granddaughter's small face, coaxing: "Yuanyuan, give the emperor a smile, okay?"

Princess Funing turned to look at Empress Xu, her small face was still expressionless.

Being stared at by her second granddaughter so directly, Empress Xu's heart softened, and she continued to coax, "Yuanyuan, how about a smile?"

Princess Funing had a serious face, not to mention a smile, even the corner of her mouth was stingy and didn't want to give it.

"You girl..." Empress Xu stretched out her hand and gently pinched Princess Funing's little nose.

"Mother, this girl only smiles at Zhanji." Zhang Mingzhen has given up making her daughter laugh now.

"When this girl grows up, she will definitely stick to Zhanji."

"She is very attached to Zhanji now. Every time Zhanji comes to see her, she smiles happily." Zhang Mingzhen saw her own figure in her daughter's clear eyes, "If Zhanji leaves, she won't leave immediately." Happy, she stretched out her little hand and held her brother's hand tightly."

"Why is this girl so clingy to Zhanji?"

"Who knows." Zhang Mingzhen guessed, "Maybe Zhanji talked to her daughter-in-law every day when she was pregnant." At that time, His Royal Highness also talked to Yuanyuan every day, why didn't Yuanyuan stick to her father. "There is another possibility, that Zhanji attracts children to like him."

"The third son's Guoguo also likes Zhanji very much." Empress Xu laughed, "Every time the third daughter-in-law comes to Kunning Palace with Guoguo in her arms to pay her respects, the child smiles very happily when she sees Zhanji."

Hearing what Empress Xu said, Zhang Mingzhen realized that it was true.

"Zhanji, this kid is not only popular with adults, but also with children."

"Really." Zhang Mingzhen, the mother, was naturally very proud and happy when her son was so liked.

"Zhanji has been lively since he was a child, why is Yuanyuan so quiet?" Empress Xu wondered.

Zhang Mingzhen smiled and said, "If Yuanyuan is as lively and mischievous as Zhanji, then the daughter-in-law and His Royal Highness will have a headache."

"Zhanji is still very obedient and well-behaved." Empress Xu defended her precious grandson a little, "just skin it occasionally." Empress Xu still learned the word "skin skin" from Zhu Zhanji.

"Zhanji is very good at teasing people. I hope Yuanyuan won't be like her brother."

When Princess Funing heard the word "brother", her eyes lit up instantly, and she turned around to look for her brother.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Zhang Mingzhen reached out and tapped her daughter's nose lightly, and said amusedly, "Your brother isn't here, so don't look for him."

Princess Funing blinked, with a puzzled expression on her small face, as if to say, "Why isn't brother here?".

Zhang Mingzhen seemed to understand her daughter's doubts, and said softly, "Your brother is studying, and you won't be able to see him until the afternoon."

Princess Funing seemed to understand her mother's words, and a look of disappointment appeared on her little face.

Zhang Mingzhen scolded with a smile: "Stinky girl..."

Empress Xu sat in the yard basking in the sun for a while before falling asleep.Zhang Mingzhen handed Princess Funing to the nanny, and she and Bai Hua supported Empress Xu back to the bedroom to rest.

After Empress Xu fell asleep, Zhang Mingzhen and Bai Hua retreated quietly.

"Bai Hua, my mother may give birth in the next few days, so you have to be prepared all the time."

"Don't worry, the princess, the servants are always ready, just waiting for the empress to give birth."

It is not the first time that Empress Xu has given birth to a child, but this is the first time she has given birth after more than 20 years.Zhang Mingzhen was worried that Bai Hua and the others were not well prepared, so she explained it carefully.

After carefully instructing Bai Hua and the others, Zhang Mingzhen left Kunning Palace with her daughter in her arms.

Zhu Zhanji, who was missed by Princess Funing, was discussing some things about Tang Taizong with Yang Shiqi at the moment.

Zhu Di's favorite emperor is Tang Taizong, and so are some of Yang Shiqi's ministers.Zhu Di has always regarded Tang Taizong as a role model, and wants to become a Mingjun with a long history like Tang Taizong.

Speaking of Tang Taizong, there is one thing that has to be mentioned, and that is the change of Xuanwu Gate.

When it comes to the incident of the Xuanwu Gate, many people scolded Tang Taizong, thinking that he was too cruel to kill brothers and sisters.This matter is also where Tang Taizong has been criticized.

Zhu Zhanji has been studying with Yang Shiqi for a while, and he has finished learning the Four Books.Yang Shiqi began to teach him "Historical Records", and today he taught about the history of Qin Shihuang, but as he talked, Yang Shiqi talked about Tang Taizong.

"Your Highness, what do you think of the change in the Xuanwu Gate?"

"Sir, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have always wanted to kill Li Shimin." Zhu Zhanji didn't think that the change of Xuanwu Gate was all Tang Taizong's fault, "If Tang Taizong didn't find out in time, then he would be the one who died. Taizong was cruel, before he had no brothers, but if he failed and was killed by Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji, what would the world say."

Yang Shiqi asked curiously: "Your Highness, what do you think the world will say?"

"I think people in the world will think that Tang Taizong deserved his death, because the person who killed him was the prince Li Jiancheng. They will say that Li Shimin's meritorious service is the master of the earthquake. They will not take the prince Li Jiancheng seriously, and they can even say that Li Shimin He was so aggressive that Prince Li Jiancheng had to kill him."

When Yang Shiqi heard this, he asked in surprise, "Your Highness, why do you think so?"

"Because Li Shimin is a strong man." Zhu Zhanji propped his face with his left hand and said, "Most people are afraid of the strong man, and only a small number of people admire the strong man. Most people, for those who are stronger than themselves, To destroy. Sir, isn't it?"

Yang Shiqi was stunned when Zhu Zhanji asked this question.

"One more thing, Li Jiancheng is the eldest son, but Li Shimin is not." Zhu Zhanji said lightly, "Isn't this the most important thing in Confucianism? No matter how incompetent Li Jiancheng is, no matter how good Li Shimin is, as long as Li Shimin is not The eldest son, everything he does is wrong and disrespectful to his elder brother, isn't it?"

Yang Shiqi did not speak.

"So, Tang Taizong will be reviled whether he is dead or alive during the change in Xuanwu Gate."

Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Zhanji in astonishment, he did not expect His Highness to say such words.

"Your Highness, do you think Tang Taizong did the right thing?"

"Of course it is right." Zhu Zhanji said calmly, "If Li Shimin doesn't kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, then he will be hunted down by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the future. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will not let him go .”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji said these words without any hesitation, Yang Shiqi was shocked: "Your Highness, don't you think it is too cruel and ruthless to kill brothers and sisters?"

"Sir, it was Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who wanted to put Li Shimin to death first, not Li Shimin who wanted to kill them. Li Shimin killed them completely to protect himself, isn't that right?" Zhu Zhanji has never understood those who think Li Shimin is wrong What do you think. "Could it be that if someone wants to kill me, should I let them go and let them kill me later?"

Yang Shiqi became more and more surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Your Highness, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are brothers of the same mother after all."

"Sir, do Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji treat Li Shimin as a brother of the same mother?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at Yang Shiqi sideways, and said angrily, "Sir, you can't think that because Li Shimin is strong, he should let Li Jiancheng and the others go." .”

"Li Shimin didn't have to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji at that time."

"If Li Shimin doesn't kill them, then he will be killed by them in the future." Zhu Zhanji has never understood this point, why Li Shimin must let Li Jiancheng and them go, "Sir, you want to use brothers to influence Li Jiancheng and them Do you think it is possible?" Zhu Zhanji sneered, "At that time, the competition between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was fierce, and Li Jiancheng would never let Li Shimin go, unless Li Shimin died, he would feel at ease."

Yang Shiqi remained silent.

"Sir, if Li Jiancheng and the others succeed, do you think they will have brothers to let Li Shimin go before? They will kill them all like Li Shimin." Zhu Zhanji asked, "Sir, if history is like this, then you think Li Jiancheng and the others should not Do you want to kill Li Shimin? Or do you think Li Shimin deserves to be killed by Li Jiancheng and the others because of his high merits?"

Yang Shiqi said: "No, if history is like this, Li Jiancheng and the others shouldn't have killed Li Shimin."

"Sir, you think so, but most people don't think so." Although Zhu Zhanji studied Confucianism with Yang Shiqi, he always felt that Confucianism was somewhat hypocritical.

"Your Highness, if it were you, what would you do?"

"If I were Li Shimin, I would be like him."

Yang Shiqi was shocked when he heard this.

"Sir, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others." Zhu Zhanji said very calmly, "My brothers are going to kill me. I can't forgive them and then become brothers with them." He is not the Holy Father .
