First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Hu Weiyong and others also came over for nearly half of the banquet, which undoubtedly made the scene much more lively, and the Wu clan members were also very popular, although no one would dare to provoke them in the local area, and the officials and gentry would treat each other with courtesy treat.

But after all, they are still farming in the village for a living, and there are only a few officials that can be seen. How can they compare with the princes and generals they see today? This is a truth that no matter how ignorant people understand.

Hu Weiyong and the others took turns toasting a cup and then left. There was too much difference in class, and they knew in their hearts that with the empress' temperament, they would not promote their high officials and rich salary because of their personal relationship. They were just the expression of His Royal Highness It's just a form of filial piety.

After talking about the previous years, the banquet came to an end. Zhu Biao sent Li Zhen, who was already drunk, back to the mansion to rest, while he led the Wu clan members who were still in high spirits to stroll around the palace.

Naturally, you can't go to the harem and other places, but the palace is so big, even if you avoid it, there are many buildings worth seeing. After all, it is the royal palace.

Zhu Biao led the sixth uncle to the front, and the Wu clan members behind him exclaimed from time to time. They didn't feel at ease until they saw the cultivated land and grain seedlings behind the Hall of Wuying.

Wu Congzhen wiped his tears and said: "Finally, this old man did not live his whole life in vain. He is dragging the blessings of his mother and His Highness. Fourth Brother and the others will not have such a good life."

Zhu Biao clapped his hands and said comfortingly: "I heard that the clan has opened a school, which is a good thing. Afterwards, I personally selected a few educated gentlemen from the Imperial College and sent them to the clan school. Once the foundation is laid, the children of the Wu family will be able to serve as officials in the future." lintel."

Several elders of the Wu family thanked each other again and again, Zhu Biao glanced at the young men behind who were eager to try, with his vision, he naturally saw what they wanted.

He continued to hold Wu Congzhen's hand and said, "It's a misfortune rather than a blessing for a foreign relative to be suddenly expensive. The real decent family is the one who cultivated and studied in the heirloom. The sixth uncle must understand the painstaking efforts of the mother over the years."

Wu Congzhen is obviously a sensible person. He turned his head and gave Zhu Biao a hard look at the young people, and said to Zhu Biao: "Because of the wars and famines, these generations of people like me didn't have the opportunity to study hard, that is, to know a few of them. It’s just big characters, how dare he think, now that His Highness has taken care of you, in the future, the children will study hard, are you afraid that there will be no chance to succeed?”

Another clan elder also answered: "That's right, under the rule of Zhao Guan's family, our Wu family has been farming, studying, heirloom, and serving as officials for generations. Now that it is under the Zhu family, it is so related. In the future, our children and grandchildren should be diligent and loyal to the country." yes."

After the tour, I will meet the emperor and grandson. There are many people from the Wu family, but some of them are relatives or close friends. Most of them were brought back to the house by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. We have the honor to visit the emperor and grandson as relatives.

When they arrived at the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Biao looked at the two middle-aged men behind the sixth uncle and said: "Uncle Zhong Ju is a man, and the grandfather Ma Gong Xu Wang has no heirs to worship except his mother. If the two uncles Uncle is willing to accept the post of sacrifice and inheritance from King Xu."

Wu Zhong is the eldest son of Wu Congshan, and Wu Ju is the eldest son of Wu Congzhen. Zhu Biao, the high-ranking official, Lord Houlu, is not going to give it to him, but he still needs some treatment. of.

Both of them are honest and filial people, they have been listening to their father (uncle) all their lives, and they survived the famine and chaos. At this time, they didn't dare to make decisions for themselves, so they turned to Wu Congzhen.

Zhu Biao waved his hand without waiting for him to speak and said, "I'm not in a hurry to make a decision. My father and I have discussed this matter with me before. It won't be too late for my uncle to talk about it in front of my father and mother after a few days."

Stepping into the Wenhua Palace and taking a seat, it is not easy for Wu Congzhen to take the seat here. Zhu Biao ordered after taking the main seat: "Go and bring the two emperors and grandchildren, and be careful of the wind and cold on the way."

Liu Jin left as promised. He would never dare to hand over the matter of his Highness's heir to others easily. After all, he had to go by himself to feel at ease.

After Liu Jin left, Zhu Biao said, "Luohua is in charge of all affairs in the harem according to the order of his mother, Empress Yi. Today, there are some urgent matters to be dealt with, so it's not easy to come see uncle."

Wu Congzhen hurriedly said: "Main business is the main thing. We are waiting for idlers. It doesn't matter whether we see or not. Your Highness, please don't be polite."

After a while, Liu Jin led the two nannies and walked in. The eunuchs surrounded them all the way so that the two emperors and grandchildren would not be blown by the wind.

After the two nannies saluted, it took a while before they carefully unwrapped the tightly wrapped swaddling clothes in their arms, revealing two little faces that were still soundly asleep.

Wu Congshan and the others carefully looked around, none of them dared to reach out to touch it, but kept chanting words of praise, and the awe in their eyes was greater than the love.

They are nothing more than ordinary people, but these two are born to be sons of dragons and grandchildren of Tianhuang, not the lords of the country, but they must be the princes.

To them, what is the difference between an emperor or a prince, they are both the masters of the family's life and death, and they can only bow their heads to worship.

The elders of the Wu family all know that when they die, this kindness will be over. After all, they are not Ma, and the title of King Xu of the Ma family will not fall on them. When he grows up, the Wu family will disappear from everyone.

After seeing him, Zhu Biao asked the nanny to take the baby to the side hall to rest. It's not good to carry him around like this all the time. Let's go back together when he returns to the palace later.

After chatting for a while, they fell into a situation where they had nothing to say. The difference in status made their cognitions different, so naturally there was not much to say. Wu Congzhen naturally understood that there would probably be no chance to see the prince again in the future. Your Highness.

It is very rare for the prince of a country to put down his state affairs and receive them in person for half a day, and there is no other reason, so he stood up and begged: "As your Highness has seen, there is a time when the Wu family is passed down to the old man. The word order can be followed, but it will be gone in Wu Zhongwuju's generation, please be kind to His Highness, and give the word order of the next generation to be passed down to the Wu family."

Zhu Biao was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought that he should ask his father for this matter. After all, Comrade Zhu is willing to mess with this. Their brothers are all wood, and Yanger Lianger's and the second and third's future heirs The word order is still being drawn up, and the Ritual Department of the Hanlin Academy has been compiling it for several years. I can imagine that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to it.

He raised his eyes and looked at the people of the Wu clan who had bowed down to him. Immortals are thieves. When Zhu Biao invited the relatives of the Wu clan to come, he wondered if they would have a whimsical request. After all, such an opportunity is really rare.

However, under the oppression of a group of elders, the Wu family behaved well, without any overstepping the rules, let alone asking for officials and titles, even the two official positions in Xu Wang's mausoleum were sent out by Zhu Biao on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, he was waiting for him here. Because of his mother, Zhu Biao himself was grateful to Wu Congzhen and Wu Congzhen, but now it is only limited to Wu Congzhen, not the Wu clan.

Wu Congzhen is not young anymore, after his death Zhu Biao really may not give Wu family much favor, as for Yang'er Liang'er in this life, it is even more impossible, after all, it is just her grandmother who received a little care when she was young, it is not a big deal Grace of life.

But if Zhu Biao really decides the word order of the Wu family, then his sons and even grandsons must recognize this family relationship. The Wu family will always have some special treatment, and the minimum number of people promoted in each generation is the minimum.

The smile on Zhu Biao's face was slightly restrained. There is a limit to kindness, and every point will be lost. This is a matter of course. There is no endless love in the world. It's good to just treat him as an enemy.

"Sixth Uncle, please think about it. Although I am the crown prince and prince, I am still a junior in the Wu clan. It may not be appropriate to set the word order of the generation like this."

"The crown prince, the crown prince, and all the people rely on in the future. The Wu family is only one of the people under His Highness's rule. There is nothing inappropriate. If you are grateful to His Highness, the entire Wu family will be grateful."
