The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

In the martial arts arena, Zhu Zhanji is learning archery with Zhang Yu.

Zhu Zhanji's martial arts and riding and archery were taught by Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.Although he has only been studying for a few months, Zhu Zhanji's archery has improved rapidly.If you shoot the target ten times, you can hit the bull's-eye six or seven times.

Zhang Yu squatted behind Zhu Zhanji, and corrected His Highness Huangsun's gestures and posture hand in hand.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu, who were standing aside practicing archery, saw the picture of their father and Zhu Zhanji sticking together. They looked at each other and saw contempt in each other's eyes.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with His Highness's gestures and posture, but Dad "brazenly" corrected His Highness's gestures and posture with his hands. This is obviously because he wants to get close to His Highness.

Look, daddy's face is stuck to His Highness's.

Daddy is really too insidious.

Zhang Yu, who was spotted by his two sons, taught Zhu Zhanji how to shoot arrows very seriously and patiently.

Zhu Zhanji did not see through Zhang Yu's "conspiracy", and under Zhang Yu's hands-on guidance, he hit the bull's-eye again.

Zhang Yu, who was squatting beside Zhu Zhanji, immediately praised: "Your Highness is really amazing."

Hitting the bull's-eye again, Zhu Zhanji's face was full of smiles, but he was not complacent.

"Mr. taught me well."

"It's your highness who is smart." The little highness is really too cute, he really wants to hug the little highness.

"Come again." Zhu Zhanji felt that he was in a good state today and could practice for a while.

"Your Highness, you can only practice for a while, and you can't practice anymore, or your arm will hurt."

Zhu Zhanji nodded his head and said, "Okay." Whether it's learning martial arts or riding and shooting, you must proceed step by step, and you can't act too hastily.In addition, his small arms and legs are easily injured.If he gets injured, the emperor's grandmother and grandfather will feel distressed again.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so well-behaved, Zhang Yu almost couldn't help but reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's little head.

Zhu Zhanji didn't notice that Zhang Yu wanted to touch his head but didn't dare.He took the arrow that Chen Wu handed over, put it on the string, and aimed it at the arrow target three feet away.

With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the air sharply and hit the bull's-eye steadily.

Zhang Yu squatted aside and watched, exclaiming in his heart, His Highness is indeed the grandson of the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji practiced a few more arrows before finishing. At this time, his arm was a little sore.

Zhang Yu squeezed Zhu Zhanji's arm very intimately, and his two sons rolled their eyes.

Zhu Zhanji felt much more comfortable, thanked Zhang Yu, and then left with Chen Wu, Wang Zhong, and Xu Jingchang.

After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu's brothers began to be angry with their father.

"Father, our hands are also sore, please give us a squeeze too."

Zhang Yu put away the kind-hearted look at Zhu Zhanji just now, and looked at the two sons with a cold face: "Go aside."

"Father, are we still your biological sons?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu raised his foot and kicked his two sons.

"Father, that's not how you treated His Highness just now."

"Can you compare with your Highness?" Zhang Yu pointed at his two sons and scolded, "You are all thick-skinned and thick-skinned, why does it hurt?"

"Father, you really have two faces to us and to Your Highness."

"What are you talking about, keep practicing for me."

Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu didn't dare to say anything, and continued to practice archery obediently.

Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Yu and his brothers with a funny face: "Our fathers are all virtuous, and it's not like you don't know it." Uncle Zhang is like this, and his father is also like this. Seeing His Royal Highness, he immediately became gentle and kind.

While practicing archery, Zhang Min curled his lips and said, "I just can't stand my father like that."

"Zhang Yu, you won't be jealous, will you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan immediately gave Zhu Yong a fierce look: "How is it possible, I just can't bear to see my father deliberately getting close to His Highness with tricks."

Zhang Fu followed Zhang Fu's words and said: "Didn't you just see that my father's face is stuck together with His Highness's. My father is really useless in order to get close to His Highness."

Zhu Yong smiled and said: "Who doesn't want to get close to His Highness, don't you?"

Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu did not speak.Of course they wanted to get close to His Highness.

"I still want to hug my little highness." It's a pity that your little highness can't be hugged casually. "Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy."

Zhang Fu snorted coldly, "This is called trickery."

"We were able to learn martial arts and archery with His Royal Highness for three afternoons. It would be difficult for others to see His Royal Highness." Zhu Yong suddenly became very proud, "You don't know how much they envy us."

Thinking of the envious eyes of other people, Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu couldn't help but feel proud.

"It is."

The three of them showed off while practicing their arrows.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know that he had become a sweet potato.At this moment, he has returned to Kunning Palace.

He learns martial arts and archery for an hour every afternoon.He is still too young to learn martial arts for a long time, otherwise it will be bad for his health.

Empress Xu had already prepared tea and snacks for Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was very hungry every time he came back from the martial arts field.

After Zhu Zhanji finished eating His Highness, Empress Xu told him good news.

"Zhanji, you are going to have a younger brother."

"Brother, didn't the third aunt give birth to a daughter?" Zhu Zhanji didn't react for a while.

Empress Xu smiled slightly and said, "Your mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for you."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up immediately, and an excited and happy smile appeared on his small face: "Really?"

"Really, your mother is more than two months pregnant, and in seven months, you will have a younger brother."

Zhu Zhanji jumped up happily: "Great, I'm going to have a younger brother."

Seeing Zhu Zhanji dancing happily with his hands and feet, Empress Xu said helplessly and dotingly: "Be careful, don't fall."

Zhu Zhanji stopped, ran to Empress Xu, and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Not long ago."

As soon as Zhu Zhanji went to the martial arts field to learn martial arts in the afternoon, Zhu Gaochi sent someone to inform Empress Xu of the good news.

Empress Xu called Zhang Mingzhen to Kunning Palace, rewarded her with many things, and told her to take good care of her baby.

"Grandmother, I'm going to see my mother." Zhu Zhanji ran out of Kunning Palace after finishing speaking.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was running in a hurry, Empress Xu was worried that he would fall, and hurriedly told him: "My little ancestor, run slowly, don't fall."

Bai Hua stood aside and said with a smile: "Your Highness has been looking forward to having a younger brother, and now that he finally has a younger brother, His Highness is naturally happy. Aren't you happy too, Madam?"

Empress Xu smiled lightly, "I'm going to have a grandson again, of course I'm happy."

Not only did Empress Xu reward Zhang Mingzhen with things, Zhu Di also rewarded some things to the eldest daughter-in-law.

There was joy in the East Palace.

The crown princess is pregnant, which is a great joy for Donggong.

Zhu Gaochi rewarded everyone in the East Palace with two months of silver.

For Zhu Gaochi, this is his first child after becoming a prince, so he is naturally happy.

Zhu Zhanji ran all the way to the East Palace, still yelling, "Mother, I'm here to see you."

Zhu Gaochi was talking to Zhang Mingzhen, and when he heard his son's yell, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's little face was red and he was still panting, Zhang Mingzhen patted him on the back distressedly.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, kid?"

"Come and see you." Zhu Zhanji panted and said with a smile, "I'm going to have a younger brother."

Zhang Mingzhen took the handkerchief from Xiangse and carefully wiped the sweat off Zhu Zhanji's face.

"Maybe it's my sister."

"It would be even better if it's a younger sister." Zhu Zhanji said seriously with a small face, "Whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, I like them all."

Hearing her son's words, Zhang Mingzhen felt warm in her heart.

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the side, deliberately teased Zhu Zhanji, and asked, "Zhanji, do you prefer a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Zhu Zhanji replied without hesitation: "Sister!" In fact, he prefers brother and sister to brother and sister, but unfortunately he will not have brother and sister.

Zhu Gaochi asked curiously, "Why not my younger brother?"

"Because my younger sister is more obedient than my younger brother." Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Mother, you should be your sister this time, and have a younger brother next time."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhen pinched Zhu Zhanji's little face, and said dotingly: "Okay, mother will give birth to your younger sister first this time."

Zhu Zhanji cheered immediately: "Mother is the best." After speaking, he threw himself into Zhang Mingzhen's arms.

Zhu Gaochi looked at his son getting close to his wife and not getting close to him, and said with some taste: "Zhanji, how are you, Daddy?"

"Father, of course you are fine, but mother is the best." Zhu Zhanji walked in front of Zhu Gaochi and looked at his father with a very serious expression.

Zhu Gaochi was a little frightened by his son's serious eyes: "Zhan Ji, what are you doing looking at Dad like that?"

"Daddy, mother is pregnant, you have to take good care of mother, you know?" Zhu Zhanji continued to say seriously, "First, Daddy, you can't make mother angry. Second, Daddy, you can't bully mother, make her angry. Mother is crying. Third, Daddy, you can’t make mother tired. Fourth, Daddy, you have to accompany mother every day. Fifth, Daddy, you..."

Zhu Zhanji said more than a dozen things in one breath, and Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded.

"Also, Daddy, you have to read to the younger sister in your mother's womb every day, so that the younger sister will be very smart after birth." He remembered that this was called prenatal education, "I don't want a stupid younger sister."

Zhu Gaochi: "..." This kid is setting rules for him.

"Daddy, if you don't do what I just said, I will sue the emperor and grandma and let them punish you." Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Gaochi in a very stern tone, "Daddy, I'm not joking with you. If you bully mother, I will let Grandpa Hu and Grandmother beat you up."

Seeing her son defending her so much, Zhang Mingzhen's nose felt a little sour, and her eyes were slightly red.

"How could I bully your mother." Zhu Gaochi said seriously, "Father will definitely do what you said."

Hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, Zhu Zhanji laughed immediately: "That's good."

Zhu Gaochi said silently in his heart, if he couldn't do it, Zhanji would really sue his father and queen mother.

"Mother, if Daddy treats you badly, I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"Okay." It's good to have a son backing me up.

Zhu Zhanji suddenly reached out and touched Zhang Mingzhen's belly, and warned his future sister in a low voice: "Sister, be good, don't make mother feel uncomfortable, or when you are born, brother will definitely teach you a lesson."

Zhang Mingzhen touched Zhu Zhanji's small face, and said softly, "My sister will be as good as you." When she was pregnant with Zhu Zhanji, Zhanji was very good in her stomach and did not let her suffer. A little sin.

Zhu Zhanji thought about it and felt that his mother was right, nodded and said, "My sister will definitely be as good as me."

After chatting with Zhang Mingzhen and Zhu Gaochi for a while, Zhu Zhanji went back to Kunning Palace.

As soon as he returned to Kunning Palace, he called the imperial physician over, and repeatedly told the imperial physician to take good care of his mother.If there is anything wrong with his mother, he will never forgive her lightly.

Since Zhang Mingzhen became pregnant, Zhu Zhanji went to the East Palace at least twice a day to talk, eat with his mother, and take a walk with his mother, which was very caring.

Empress Xu felt a little jealous when she saw this.

"Zhan Ji, it's hard for you to go back and forth, why don't you move to the East Palace?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard his grandmother say, he looked up at Empress Xu in surprise: "Grandmother, are you jealous?"

Empress Xu denied, "I'm not jealous."

"Grandmother, you are just jealous." Zhu Zhanji smiled narrowly, "Grandmother, if you are pregnant like your mother, I will talk and walk with you every day."

Empress Xu raised her hand and tapped Zhu Zhanji's little head: "Do you want a spanking?"

Zhu Zhanji clutched his little butt, and shook his head quickly: "I didn't say anything just now."

Empress Xu poked Zhu Zhanji's forehead and scolded with a smile: "It's not big or small."

Zhu Zhanji smiled flatteringly at Empress Xu: "Grandmother, don't worry, you are still my second favorite person, and I will not leave you."

Empress Xu pinched Zhu Zhanji's little nose, "You have a conscience."

Zhu Zhanji said silently in his heart that the emperor's grandmother was really jealous.

Empress Xu patted Zhu Zhanji on the back, and said softly, "Go and play."

"Grandmother, I'm going to play." Zhu Zhanji took Heiyu to the yard to play Cuju.

Empress Xu sat on the couch and made Zhu Di's underwear.The clothes Zhu Di wears next to his body every year are made by Empress Xu herself.

After making clothes for a while, Empress Xu stopped what she was doing and looked up at Bai Hua: "Is there still no news?"

Bai Hua was slightly startled, and it took a while to realize what Empress Xu was asking.

"Not yet."

Empress Xu frowned slightly and said, "It's been almost two months, why is there no news at all."

Bai Hua thought for a while and said, "My lady, maybe the other ladies haven't found out yet. Or maybe the other ladies haven't seen it for three months, so they are hiding it for now."

Empress Xu felt that what Bai Hua said was very likely: "Then wait until the next year."

Bai Hua hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, compared to other empresses, the Emperor hopes that you will give birth to a prince."

Empress Xu shook her head and said, "I'm so old, what else is there to give birth to?" She unconsciously put her hand on her stomach, "Besides, it's hard for me to conceive a child."

"Your Majesty, find an imperial doctor to recuperate, maybe you can still conceive."

"I know my own body, and I won't be pregnant again." At that time, Empress Xu had a dystocia when she gave birth to her fourth son, and almost lost her life. Fortunately, she was rescued in the end.However, her body was completely injured, and it was difficult for her to conceive a child again.In addition, the fourth son died at that time, which was a big blow to her, and made her body weaker.She recuperated for several years before she gradually recovered her body.

"My lady..."

"Now I hope that other concubines can give birth to more princes and princesses for His Majesty." She has given birth to three sons for His Majesty, and she has a grandson. She has no dissatisfaction.For her now, managing the harem well for His Majesty is the most important thing.

When Bai Hua heard what Empress Xu said, she stopped trying to persuade her.

Empress Xu didn't say anything about it, and continued to bow her head to make a coat for Zhu Di.

At this time, in the imperial study, Zhu Di was discussing with Xie Jin and the others about the revision of the book.

Zhu Di also thought for a long time about repairing the book.

Zhu Di knew that his dispatch of troops was looked down upon by scholars all over the world.Even though he is enthroned now, many scholars still have great opinions on him.

Governing the country still requires scholars.

In order to regain the hearts of scholars, Zhu Di first advocated Confucianism and gave preferential treatment to the descendants of Confucius.He also asked the learned minister to explain the Four Books and Five Classics to him every day.However, these are not enough.

To regain the hearts of scholars all over the world, one must repair books.

There is another advantage of compiling books, that is, you can leave your name in history.

"I will order the purchase of books from all over the world to be used for repairing books."

Yang Shiqi and the others said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Xie Jin, you are in charge of the book revision." Xie Jin is very talented, and Zhu Di thinks he is the most suitable to take charge of the book revision.

Xie Jin did not expect that Zhu Di would entrust him with such an important matter as the revision of the book, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I must do my best to repair the book."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I believe you can do well."

Next, Zhu Di discussed with Xie Jin and the others how and which books to edit.

The discussion did not end until evening.

Zhu Di went to Kunning Palace for dinner, and told Empress Xu about the revision of the book.

Empress Xu naturally supported Zhu Di's revision of the book.At the same time, she also had an idea.She also wants to edit books, collect books on women's etiquette throughout the ages, and then rewrite them.

Of course, Zhu Di also supported Queen Xu's idea.

"Queen, there is one thing..." Zhu Di didn't say anything more, his expression became hesitant to speak.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Empress Xu asked with concern, "Your Majesty, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"I think my emperor has his eyes closed and his ears plugged."

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, and said with a cold face: "Although I am the emperor, I don't know everything. The ministers hide many things from me. Also, I don't know much about the people's conditions in various places. .”

When Empress Xu heard what Zhu Di said, she probably guessed what Zhu Di wanted to say.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Di looked at Empress Xu, hesitated and said, "Empress, I want to restore Jinyiwei."

"Jin Yiwei?" Empress Xu's complexion changed suddenly, she frowned and said disapprovingly, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened that year?"

"I haven't forgotten, but Jin Yiwei can be the eyes and ears of the emperor." Zhu Di said very seriously, "As the emperor, I must listen to all directions."

"Your Majesty, what Jinyiwei did made people angry all over the world, have you forgotten?" When Empress Xu thought about what happened to Jinyiwei back then, she felt lingering fears. I had no choice but to withdraw the Jin Yiwei, so as to appease the anger of the public."

"Queen, I need Jinyiwei, and the court also needs Jinyiwei."

"Your Majesty, without the Jinyiwei, the court is not the court?" Empress Xu persuaded, "Your Majesty, the ministers and the people will not want the Jinyiwei to recover."

"But I hope."

Hearing what Zhu Di said, Empress Xu knew that he had made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, what do you want Jin Yiwei to do for you?"

"I just want Jin Yiwei to be my eyes and ears. I don't want to be deceived by the ministers." Zhu Di said in a slow tone, "I hope to know the situation of the people at all times, so that I can understand the suffering of the people."

"If Jin Yiwei provokes public anger again, what do you plan to do, Your Majesty?"

"I will not let Jinyiwei make everyone angry." Zhu Di said firmly.

Empress Xu knew that no matter how much she persuaded, Zhu Di would not change her mind.

"Your Majesty, you have to think twice."

"Queen, I've been thinking about restoring Jinyiwei for a long time." Zhu Di held Queen Xu's hand and said gently, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Empress Xu held Zhu Di's hand back, "Since Your Majesty knows it well, then I won't say anything more."

"Queen, the current situation is not good, and I have no choice." Zhu Di said, "I plan to restore Jinyiwei next year."

"Your Majesty, have you discussed this matter with the ministers?"

"Not yet." Zhu Di said, "There is no need to discuss with the ministers, they will not agree. Next year, I will restore Jinyiwei directly."

When Empress Xu heard this, she sighed deeply and helplessly in her heart.

Zhu Di told Empress Xu that the restoration of Jinyiwei did not require Empress Xu's consent, but just wanted her to know.

Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting aside reading and writing, heard about the restoration of Jinyiwei, and found the word "Jinyiwei" very familiar.

When great-grandfather was alive, there was this Jinyiwei.According to the emperor's grandmother, this Jinyiwei seems to have done a lot of bad things, and then provoked the anger of the public, and finally great-grandfather had to withdraw Jinyiwei.

When I saw my great-grandfather in my dream, I asked him what happened to Jin Yiwei.
