Chapter 12 Growth
His Royal Highness, the Emperor's eldest son, is talented and intelligent. There is no need to question this. This also made Zhou Dexing a little bit sour. His little boy was sitting on the throne. His son was already very good, but his grandson was also so outstanding.
Thinking about his spoiled and rebellious son again, Zhou Dexing really couldn't balance his heart, and the gap was indeed too big.
But it’s useless even if you feel unbalanced. Some things are just like that, and there is no fairness.
As a child, it seems that Zhu Xiongying can only do some things that children should do. Although he is talented and intelligent, in everyone's eyes, he is just a four-year-old child.
Most of the time, people don't care too much about Zhu Xiongying's opinions and just treat him as a child. But there are some advantages. Since he is a child, sometimes even if he acts rogue, he will not be annoying, but will only be found cute.
.
"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial!" Zhu Qingning stumbled and ran forward anxiously with his short legs.
Zhu Xiongying stopped and looked behind him, "You run slower, you can't walk steadily and you still want to run!"
Empress Ma couldn't help but joke, "You also know that Qingning can't walk fast, so just walk slower. If you walk fast, can she keep up?"
Zhu Xiongying smiled, touched his bald head and said, "That's not our fault, it's because she usually doesn't move."
Mrs. Chang was also a little helpless. Her eldest son was good at everything, but sometimes he liked to make trouble. As long as she was pregnant, it goes without saying that her eldest son would come over every now and then, insisting on spending a stick of incense and half a day with her.
hours.
Sometimes, she also has to control some of the meals she eats. She is not allowed to eat anything that is too nutritious, saying that she is afraid that her little brother will become too fat.
After walking for a while, Queen Ma said, "Hero, come here and have a rest."
Zhu Xiongying ran over in a hurry and said, "Grandma, I am not a grandson to boast, I am the most physically strong. Not to mention walking for half an hour, I don't feel tired even if I walk for an hour."
Queen Ma wiped Zhu Xiongying's sweat and said dotingly, "If you don't feel tired, you two girls are not. Qingning is still young after all, and her legs and feet are weak. She will fall if she takes two steps now."

This is correct. Many children are immature and do not have much strength in their legs and feet.
Zhu Xiongying asked while eating the fruit, "Grandma, what have grandfather been busy with these days? Why don't you come back?"
"He is busy these days with the matter of canonizing Tang Dingchen." Empress Ma smiled and said, "That's Tang Dazui. He knew your grandfather when they were young. It was he who invited your grandfather to attend the red meeting in the early years.
"He has so much merit. He should have been enthroned as a Duke long ago, but your grandfather chose to give him the title of Marquis of Zhongshan."
Zhu Xiongying chuckled and said, "If it were us, we would also suppress Tang He. He is a close relative of my grandfather. If we suppress him, it will be hard for others to say anything."
Empress Ma felt helpless, pinched Zhu Xiongying's face and said, "You usually say you must be fair in doing things, but you won't work now?"
Zhu Xiongying was a little embarrassed, but even after a little embarrassment, he still felt that some things could not be said to be fair. Especially now that there are too many meritorious officials in the court, sometimes rewards also need to consider balance and politics.

Origin, status, resume, etc., these also need to be considered.
What Zhu Xiongying is doing is to continue to grow, learn and make progress. He not only needs to study, but also needs to practice martial arts, and from time to time he has to be teased by Queen Ma and Lao Zhu.
On October 11, the eleventh year of Hongwu, Cao Guogong Li Zhen passed away in the capital, at the age of seventy-six.
Lao Zhu drove over to lay a memorial ceremony for him, and immediately issued an imperial edict. He was granted the title of King of Longxi, his posthumous title was respectfully presented, and he was buried at the origin of Lengshui Stream in Lingji Township, Xuyi County.
Lao Zhu was very sad. This was the only living relative of his generation after he became emperor, and he was also his brother-in-law who took great care of him. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lao Zhu had to leave the court for three days.
This is a sad thing, and then another extremely worrying thing happened.
On the ninth day of November, Crown Princess Chang went into labor. As a result, the fetal position was incorrect, which made it difficult to give birth. After finally giving birth to a boy, Crown Princess Chang undoubtedly had a trip to hell.
Even though it doesn't seem to be a big deal now, it still makes people very worried. No one knows whether she can survive this or not.
Zhu Yunxi, this is the younger brother of Zhu Xiongying's mother, and this is Zhu Biao's second son. If Zhu Xiongying had not survived the calamity of life and death, theoretically Zhu Yunxi could have been established as the emperor's grandson, instead of
The concubine Zhu Yunwen.
Seeing their eldest grandson's worried look, Queen Ma and Lao Zhu often tried to comfort them. In their view, it is normal for children to encounter some dangers.
Even the Chang family is actually the same. In her opinion, all this is natural. It is her duty to be able to give birth to an heir for the prince, and there is no need to worry about it even if there is danger.
Although there were a lot of worries, fortunately, Mrs. Chang survived, but she was also extremely weak. Perhaps she and Zhu Biao would also learn their lesson and could no longer have children without stopping.
Zhu Xiongying feels that he is very happy now. As the little overlord of the palace, he is growing up healthily and happily.
Every day I am either studying or practicing martial arts, or I am walking around. Today I go to Chunhe Hall to tease my younger brothers and sisters, and tomorrow I go to the Main Hall to study and improve with the imperial uncles, or I sit on the gate of the palace and yell.

The civil and military officials of the lower dynasty found it funny. They often saw a young boy in full armor standing at the city gate, and from time to time he asked the military officers, "What is the name of the general?"
That is to say, only the eldest grandson of the emperor is treated like this. How can the other princes and grandsons have such an opportunity to misbehave?
Xiao Yu'er found it funny and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, it's almost time. It's time to go back."
Zhu Xiongying sighed and said to Xiao Yu'er, "Sister Yu'er, if we go out to fight in the future, I will take you with me. If you didn't follow us, we might not have a good life."
Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "Your Highness, although I am a female servant, I have never heard of a general marching and fighting with his maid."
"When the time comes, I'll dress up as a man." Zhu Xiongying said nonchalantly, "It's because your sister is too weak. We looked at her for a long time, but we didn't see her. Now that she's married, she's just like my aunt, and she doesn't remember to come back to see her.
Look at us."
Xiao Yu'er said gratefully, "Her Royal Highness the Queen is so benevolent that she lets the people in the palace out when they get older. My sister and I were raised by Your Highness, and now we have found a family with a good background."
Following Xiao Yu'er as he strolled back to Kunning Palace, Zhu Xiongying suddenly shouted, "The general will be named!"
A scarlet-robed official with a mustache said immediately, "Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, Your Highness Qianqiu!"
After taking a look at Hu Weiyong, Zhu Xiongying said nothing more.
He was a disciple of Li Shanchang. He became the Prime Minister of the Right in the sixth year of Hongwu. In the tenth year of Hongwu, he became the Prime Minister of the Left and ranked first among the officials. He once consciously forged ahead and won the favor of Lao Zhu by being cautious and cautious in situations. But slowly, he became the Prime Minister of the Left.
A little arrogant and domineering.
He would sometimes carry out major matters of life, death and deposed without reporting to Lao Zhu. He would read the memorials from various internal and external departments first, and would withhold those who framed him. Those who were keen on fame and fortune from all walks of life, as well as those who had lost their lives, would not submit them.
The heroes and warriors of the position competed with each other to rush to the door, giving bribes, gold, silk, famous horses, and playing with the good things. It was impossible to win.
Even Xu Da couldn't stand it anymore, so Hu Weiyong seduced Xu Da's gatekeeper Fu Shou in an attempt to kill Xu Da.
When Liu Ji fell ill, Lao Zhu sent Weiyong to bring a doctor to visit him, and Hu Weiyong poisoned Liu Ji.
Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, Chen Ning, the imperial censor, and others were all under Hu Weiyong's sect. In September of this year, the Champa Kingdom came to pay tribute, but Hu Weiyong and others did not report to Lao Zhu, which also made Lao Zhu suddenly angry.
Angry.
The right prime minister Wang Guangyang was implicated and sentenced to death. If nothing else goes wrong, the left prime minister Hu Weiyong will die soon. Lao Zhu will never allow the prime minister to threaten the imperial power. Now he is constantly indulging in Hu Weiyong in order to catch them all.
