The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

That night.

Zhu Zhanji's dream.

"Zhanji, you must not let your grandpa restore the Jinyiwei." Zhu Biao never expected that Zhu Di would restore the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside with a sullen face and did not speak.

Zhu Zhanji was shocked when he learned from Zhu Biao what Jin Yiwei had done before.

"Grandpa, the emperor's grandmother persuaded the emperor not to restore the Jinyiwei, but the emperor's grandfather has made up his mind and insists on restoring the Jinyiwei."

"Zhanji, Jinyiwei will harm the country and the people and cannot be restored." Zhu Biao grabbed Zhu Zhanji's shoulders with both hands, and said anxiously and worriedly, "Zhanji, you must dissuade your grandpa."

"Grandpa, I can't dissuade you." Zhu Zhanji said very calmly, "Grandpa Huang usually dotes on me, but in politics, he won't listen to me as a child." Grandpa Huang dotes on him, he Grandpa Huang will give him whatever he wants, but Grandpa Huang will never listen to him when it comes to politics.Furthermore, if he is a child involved in politics, he will make the emperor's grandfather unhappy.

"Your grandpa listens to you, so please persuade him well."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "It's useless. Grandpa Huang doesn't even listen to Grandma Huang."

"Zhanji, Jinyiwei really cannot be restored, it will endanger the country of Ming Dynasty." When Zhu Yuanzhang established Jinyiwei, Zhu Biao strongly opposed it.Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen to Zhu Biao's words at the beginning, and continued to let Jinyiwei do things wrong, which angered all the officials, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang had to withdraw Jinyiwei.

"Grandpa, I won't lie to you. It's useless for me to persuade you." Don't look at Grandpa Huang's benevolent face in front of him, in fact, Grandpa Huang's true temperament is very cold.Also, Grandpa Huang thinks what he did was right, and he will never change it. "Grandpa, why don't you use your dreams to persuade Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Biao felt that this was the only way to go. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who had been standing aside and remained silent.

"Father, I'll go see fourth child tonight."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, and said indifferently, "Your fourth brother will not change his mind when you see him." As the person who founded Jinyiwei back then, Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhu Di's purpose of restoring Jinyiwei.

"Father, how will you know if you don't try." In fact, Zhu Biao knew in his heart that once Zhu Di decided to restore Jinyiwei, it would be difficult for anyone to persuade him.

"Boss, you and I are dead and can no longer meddle in political affairs, have you forgotten?" This is another reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has not seen Zhu Di for a long time, "What is your duty in Zhanji's dream, have you forgotten? "

When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhu Yuanzhang's last words, his pretty little face showed a puzzled look. Great-grandfather and the others still had responsibilities in his dream. What responsibilities?

Zhu Yuanzhang's two words made Zhu Biao silent.After half the payment, he said: "I haven't forgotten."

"What the fourth brother wants to do is his business. You and I can't control it, and we can't control it."

"But, Dad, Jin Yiwei really can't recover."

"Whether Jin Yiwei recovers or not is the fourth child's business. You are a dead person, why bother?" Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly, "Besides, Jin Yiwei is not useless."

Zhu Biao couldn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang also said that Jin Yiwei was not useless, "Father, didn't the incident of Jin Yiwei make you regret it?"

"Boss, Jinyiwei is a double-edged sword." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "Use it well, it is a good sword. Use it poorly, it is a murderous knife. It depends on how the fourth brother uses it. "

"Father, that's what you said back then, but it turned out that you didn't use it well, and almost made a big mistake." When mentioning the Jinyiwei incident back then, Zhu Biao looked angry, "You can't use it well, let alone It's the fourth."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless by what his elder son said.He was silent for a while, then said dryly: "You and I can't meddle in political affairs, so don't worry about it."

"I can't see the fourth brother making such a big mistake." Zhu Biao said to Zhu Zhanji again: "Zhanji, tell your grandpa what your grandpa said."

"Grandpa, I will bring your words to Grandpa Huang, but Grandpa Huang will definitely not listen." Zhu Zhanji said, "You have to be mentally prepared."

"If your grandpa really doesn't listen, there's nothing you can do about it." Zhu Biao said, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang coldly, "Father, it's all your fault, what Jinyiwei was set up in the first place."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was complained, looked very innocent: "Didn't I have no choice but to make such a bad plan back then."

Zhu Biao knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change anything.

"Zhanji, if your grandpa insists on restoring Jinyiwei, you must always remind your grandpa not to let Jinyiwei become too powerful."

"Grandpa, don't worry, Grandpa Huang will never let Jinyiwei become too powerful." Since his grandfather wanted to restore Jinyiwei, he must have made sufficient preparations.

"Oh..." Zhu Biao sighed heavily, and then said angrily, "Father, the fourth child really looks like you."

"It's only natural that a son is like Lao Tzu." When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his tone was a little smug and proud.

"Grandpa, I think the emperor's restoration of the Jinyiwei is not just about letting the Jinyiwei be his eyes and ears, supervising the ministers." With his imperial grandfather's foresight, the purpose of restoring the Jinyiwei is definitely not that simple.

"Zhanji, what do you mean by that? Does your grandpa have other purposes?"

Zhu Zhanji looked up at Zhu Biao, and said with a very solemn expression: "Balance!"

trade off? !

Zhu Biao's heart shook violently, and he immediately understood what Zhu Zhanji meant.

"Zhanji, what does your grandfather want to weigh?"

"Weigh civil servants and generals."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhanji with a look of relief in his eyes.However, he asked, "Zhanji, what is your grandpa doing weighing civil servants and generals?"

"Great-grandfather and great-grandfather, you also know that civil servants are needed to govern a country, and military officials are needed to fight wars. Civil servants and military officials have always been opposites." Since ancient times, civil servants have looked down on military generals, and military generals have looked down on sour civil servants. "For a long time, in all dynasties, civil servants are better than generals, right?"

Zhu Biao nodded lightly: "Yes."

"However, this is not the case with Grandpa Huang's court." Zhu Zhanji analyzed objectively and rationally, "Grandpa Huang came to the throne because he sent troops. His success is mainly due to his soldiers. No soldiers are Grandpa Huang." If you work hard, my grandpa the emperor will not be able to sit on the throne. That is to say, my grandpa won the country by military generals."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are right."

"The military generals are all heroes, but the civil servants are not. They have no role in the process of the emperor's grandpa sending out troops." "This has led to the imperial grandfather's court, and the power of the generals overwhelmed the civil servants."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.

Zhu Zhanji continued: "The most important thing is that the generals are all heroes who helped the emperor take over the country. The emperor must treat them well, otherwise the hearts of the soldiers will be chilled, and the emperor will be scolded for being ungrateful."

Zhu Yuanzhang said silently in his heart that the current situation of the fourth child is similar to when he ascended the throne.

"Bei Yuan's power is still there, and Grandpa Huang still needs generals to help him fight and protect the country of Ming Dynasty." Grandpa Huang has always been worried about Bei Yuan, and Zhu Zhanji felt that sooner or later he still had to fight Bei Yuan. "So, the power of military generals will temporarily overwhelm civil servants."

"Zhanji, do you mean that your grandpa used Jin Yiwei to contain generals?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded lightly and said: "Restraining the generals also restrains the civil servants." He thought for a while and then said, "The emperor wants to use Jinyiwei to restrain the power of the generals, so that they can do whatever they want without relying on themselves as heroes. However, once the power of generals falls, the power of civil servants will rise. At this time, Jinyiwei can contain the power of civil servants. Jinyiwei is a tool to balance generals and civil servants. The emperor wants to use Jinyiwei to balance the court power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his little head vigorously.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said, "Well said."

Zhu Biao was also smiling, and praised Zhu Zhanji without hesitation: "Zhanji, you can think of this, grandpa is very happy."

Zhu Xiongying on the side said, "Zhanji, you are right."

Zhu Zhanji, who was praised, laughed twice, very proudly.

"Grandpa, you still teach well."

Zhu Biao reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's small face, and said proudly: "Grandpa didn't even think of this just now, but you did. It's because you have a good understanding."

"Grandpa taught it well, otherwise I would never have thought of it." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Grandpa, do you still object to Grandpa Huang's restoration of Jinyiwei?"

"Zhanji, Jinyiwei is more terrifying than you imagined. Grandpa knows that your grandpa uses Jinyiwei to weigh the court, but this dangerous move, if you don't lose a little bit, not only will you lose everything, but it will be hard to recover." Zhu Biao Still not in favor of restoring Jinyiwei.

"Grandpa, you trust Grandpa Huang once." Zhu Zhanji was full of confidence in his Grandpa Huang.

Zhu Biao sighed quietly: "I hope your grandpa won't mess around."

"Grandpa, with you and great-grandfather watching, Grandpa Huang dare not mess around." Zhu Zhanji patted his chest, "Besides, there is me."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his foot and kicked Zhu Zhanji's ass lightly, jokingly said: "What's the use of you, can you persuade your grandpa?"

"I can clean up the mess for Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanji said confidently, "If Grandpa Huang really made a big mistake restoring the Jinyiwei, then when I grow up, I will help Grandpa Huang correct his mistakes."

Zhu Yuanzhang knocked Zhu Zhanji's little head, and said angrily: "You are filial to your grandfather."

"Isn't this what it should be?" Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said cleverly, "Didn't you say that I am auspicious and can bring good luck to Daming? It can be repaired."

Zhu Biao pinched Zhu Zhanji's face with a smile: "You are quite confident."

"Stinky boy, are you so sure that you will bring good luck to Da Ming in the future?"

"Didn't you say I'm Xiangrui?" Zhu Zhanji said with his hands on his hips, "It's the confidence you gave me."

"Zhanji, you still have to tell your grandfather what grandpa told you, you know?" Zhu Biao knew that he could not interfere in political affairs, but he still had to say what he had to say.

Zhu Zhanji nodded obediently: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will tell Grandpa Huang." Grandpa really doesn't want Grandpa Huang to restore Jinyiwei.

"That's good."

"Grandpa, can we go to study?"

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Grandpa will take you to study."

After a while, Zhu Zhanji was driven to sleep by Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Biao's solemn face, Zhu Xiongying knew that he was still worried about the restoration of Jinyiwei, so he comforted him: "Father, I believe that Fourth Uncle will have a sense of proportion, and will not let the past feel that things will happen again."

"Your fourth uncle asked Jin Yiwei to be his eyes and ears. Did he ever think that Jin Yiwei would deceive him?" Zhu Biao sighed deeply, "He thinks that the ministers deceived him, so Jin Yiwei wouldn't?"

"Didn't Zhanji say that the main purpose of the Fourth Uncle's restoration of Jinyiwei is to balance the court."

"Hey, it's not a good idea to ask Jin Yiwei to weigh the court."

"Father, the fourth uncle can only use Jinyiwei to weigh the court." Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and continued to say to Zhu Biao, "Of course the emperor's grandfather founded Jinyiwei, isn't it the same?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said nothing more.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Boss, you are dead, what are you still worrying about?"

"Father, are you not worried at all?"

"Is it useful for you to worry, and what is there to worry about?" Zhu Yuanzhang is really not worried at all, "Isn't there still Zhanji? With him, our old Zhu's family will be fine. You are still young Worry about the fourth child's affairs, teach Zhanji more about reading, this child has a good understanding." Zhanji is smart, understanding, and has a heart of love for the people.The most important thing is that when this child should be ruthless, he will never be soft-hearted.

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "I will teach Zhanji well." He couldn't control the fourth child.But fortunately, Zhanji, he can still manage. "I will never let Zhanji be like the fourth child, like my father."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, Yu Yuen was unhappy, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"Daddy, don't you know your virtues?" Zhu Biao was too lazy to talk about Zhu Yuanzhang, and left with Zhu Xiongying.

"Boss, you..." He wasn't the one who asked the fourth brother to return to Jinyiwei, the boss blamed him for what he did.

The next day, Zhu Zhanji didn't wake up until Sishi.

"Where did you dream about your great-grandfather and great-grandfather last night?" Empress Xu asked while dressing Zhu Zhanji.

Rubbing his eyes, Zhu Zhanji said softly, "Well, great-grandfather and grandpa had a fight last night." After speaking, he opened his mouth and yawned.

Empress Xu asked in astonishment: "Arguing, why are they arguing?"

"Because Grandpa Huang wants to restore Jinyiwei, I told great-grandfather about it." Zhu Zhanji raised his hands and stretched his waist, "Grandpa opposed the restoration of Jinyiwei by Grandpa Huang, and blamed great-grandfather for founding Jinyiwei back then."

"When your great-grandfather established the Jinyiwei, your great-grandfather strongly opposed it. Now, if your grandpa wants to restore the Jinyiwei, he will naturally object." Empress Xu took Zhu Zhanji to the next ear room to wash.

Zhu Zhanji took the handkerchief from Empress Xu and wiped his face.

"Grandmother, do you agree with Grandpa's restoration of Jinyiwei?"

"Your grandpa has made up his mind, it doesn't matter whether I agree or not." Empress Xu took a small box from Bai Hua's hand, picked out a little white paste-like substance from it, and rubbed it on Zhu Zhanji's face.

"Grandpa asked me to bring a message to Grandpa Huang."

"Your great grandfather is trying to dissuade your imperial grandfather from restoring the Jinyiwei."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Well, Grandpa opposes Grandpa Huang's restoration of Jinyiwei."

"Zhanji, you can pass on the message to your grandfather, but you are not allowed to talk too much about this matter, you know?" Empress Xu was worried, and urged, "You don't talk too much, you know?"

Zhu Zhanji understood what Empress Xu meant, and said obediently: "Don't worry, Grandmother, I won't talk too much."

"Good boy, the imperial grandmother will take you to have breakfast."

"Grandmother, have you had breakfast?"

"I've used it a long time ago, but the emperor's grandmother is a little hungry now, and the emperor's grandmother will use it with you."

"Okay." Zhu Zhanji took Empress Xu's hand and shook it gently, "Grandmother, what do you have for breakfast today?"

"There are three delicacies flat food you like to eat, and duck blood vermicelli soup."

Zhu Zhan was not hungry at all, but now that he heard what Empress Xu said, he was suddenly hungry and greedy: "Grandmother, let's go faster."

Empress Xu was staggered by Zhu Zhanji, "Oh, slow down, my little ancestor."

"Grandmother, I'm hungry and can't wait."

Zhu Zhanji dragged Empress Xu to the dining room.Bai Hua and Chen Wu had already prepared breakfast.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Empress Xu worried that Zhu Zhanji would choke if she ate too fast.

Zhu Zhanji slowed down and ate slowly, mouthful by mouthful.

The craftsmanship in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace is getting better and better, and the three delicacies are so fresh that Zhu Zhanji can't wait to eat his own tongue.

"Your Highness, this is the flat food that the Empress herself made in the morning, and the Empress even gave some to the Crown Princess."

"Grandmother, you are so kind." Zhu Zhanji raised his head and kissed Empress Xu's face forcefully, and personally picked up a flat food and fed it into his grandmother's mouth, "Grandmother, you eat too."

After eating a bowl of flat food, Zhu Zhanji ate another bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.

"Grandmother, I'm going to find grandpa...uh..." Zhu Zhanji hiccupped before he finished speaking.

"Don't talk too much, you know?"

"Don't worry, Grandmother, I will never talk too much." Zhu Zhanji waved to Empress Xu, "Grandmother, I'm leaving."

"Go slowly, don't run, be careful of stomach pain."

Zhu Zhanji, who was running, stopped and walked slowly.He just had a full meal and couldn't run, or he would have a stomachache.

After walking out of Kunning Palace, he became dishonest and ran to Qianqing Palace in a bouncing manner.

Zhu Digang and Yang Shiqi had finished discussing political affairs, and when they saw Zhu Zhanji coming, they hurriedly let him in.

Zhu Zhanji bowed obediently to Zhu Di: "I have seen Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Di beckoned to Zhu Zhanji: "Did you dream about your great-grandfather last night?"

"Yes."

"What did great-grandfather tell you?"

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa opposes your restoration of Jinyiwei, let me pass on a few words to you."

Hearing this, Zhu Di frowned: "What did your uncle say?"

"Grandpa said Jin Yiwei..."

Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Di exactly what Zhu Biao said to him in his dream last night.

After Zhu Di finished listening, he was silent for a while before speaking: "Tell your grandfather, the emperor knows this very well."

Zhu Zhanji shrugged, and said rather helplessly: "That's what I told grandpa, but grandpa insisted that I bring the words to you."

Hearing what the precious grandson said, Zhu Di asked with great interest, "What did you say to Grandpa?"

"I told Grandpa Huang that you restored the Jinyiwei to balance the imperial court."

When Zhu Di heard this, shock flashed across his eyes, and he asked excitedly, "Why do you think the emperor's restoration of the Jinyiwei is to balance the court?"

"Because..." Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Di again what he said to Zhu Biao and the others in his dream.

After Zhu Di finished listening, he looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise and joy.

He didn't expect his young grandson to understand his purpose of restoring Jin Yiwei.

"Zhanji, who told you?"

Zhu Zhanji tilted his head and said, "I thought about it myself. Grandpa, am I wrong?"

Zhu Di picked up Zhu Zhanji and let his grandson sit on his lap.

"You're right, you're very right." The kid Zhanji can always surprise him. "Zhanji, do you think it's right or wrong for Grandpa Huang to restore Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Zhanji's expression suddenly became very serious: "Grandfather, if you think it is right, then it is right. I support you!" In Zhu Zhanji's view, Jinyiwei is just a "tool", and there is no need to be so afraid of it .
