Chapter 174 Foreign relatives intervene in politics

"Seat..." Zhu Lang shouted, and the next one was the authentic flowing table. This time there were more people. At first, there were thousands of people, but later they learned more and more people, because they could watch operas, eat and drink here, and it was free, one to ten, ten to hundreds.

Two thousand people, three thousand people, four thousand people...!

Fortunately, the Zhu family prepared enough, and there was Zhu Yuanzhang's help. They secretly transferred Shangshenjian, Guanglu Temple, Shanglinyuan... to them. With the help of these people, the Zhu family could support such a large flow of water.

"Serve the food... serve the food..." Zhao Lu, Xia Wu and others were in charge, busy, but everyone showed a happy smile on their faces.

It was probably afternoon, and the sunset was not setting, and everyone installed lanterns in the village. The flowing mat was still the same tonight. Just as Zhu Lang was standing on the platform to install lanterns, Zhu Lang suddenly heard a shout below: "Brother Lang...Brother Lang...Don't climb so high."

Zhu Lang looked down and found that it was the crown prince Zhu Biao who came over, and he was surrounded by the crown prince. Zhu Biao's crown prince was the eldest daughter of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun. Chang was named the crown prince's concubine in April of the fourth year of Hongwu and is now pregnant.

At this time, the child in Chang's belly was Zhu Biao's eldest son Zhu Xiongying. It was a pity that Zhu Xiongying died too early and died at the age of eight. If Zhu Xiongying had not died, then there would be nothing wrong with Emperor Jianwen. The emperor's grandson must be Zhu Xiongying.

Although Chang later gave birth to his second son Zhu Yun-chan... Zhu Yuanzhang did not make Zhu Yun-chan the crown prince. Why is this?

According to the system of inheritance of the eldest son, the order of inheritance of the throne should be Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunxi, and then the Qin King Zhu Feng, King Jin Zhu Qi, and the King of Yan Zhu Di. The eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying died at the age of 9 in 1382, and Zhu Yunying became the heir to the highest ranking among them. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang choose his second son Zhu Yunwen in the end?

It's very simple, I'm still worried about foreign relatives interfering in politics.

After the death of the prince Zhu Biao, Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Wang Bi and other dukes were all experienced and held military power. In contrast, Zhu Biao's son and his grandsons were only 15 years old and Zhu Yunwen was 16 years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer young, so he either used it or eliminated it. After Zhu Yuanzhang thought carefully for a long time, in order to avoid weak officials and strong officials from the lords and strong officials from interfering in politics, he had to eliminate them.

Lan Yu, the sister of Liang Guogong Lan Yu, is the wife of the founding general Chang Yuchun, and the prince Zhu Biao is his niece and son-in-law. As for Zhu Yunyu, he is naturally his nephew and grandson. Once Zhu Yunyu is appointed as the crown prince and successor, the consequence is that Lan Yu's restraint on the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, and the situation of the foreign relatives' intercourse with power may be staged again. In contrast, Zhu Yunwen's mother's family does not have such a background.

But who knew that things were unpredictable in the world. Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that after he passed away, Zhu Yunwen's throne lasted only four years and was turned over by the fourth son, King Yan Zhu Di. It was really better than the calculations of heaven.

"Hey..." After seeing Zhu Biao, Zhu Lang jumped down from the heights: "Brother, why did you come so early? Don't you come with Your Majesty and Mother?"

Zhu Lang has been calling Empress Ma's mother now. This is the conferred Empress Ma, and Zhu Yuanzhang acquiesced. Moreover, only Zhu Lang can call the title of mother. The other princes want to call the Queen Mother, but this Queen Mother Mother is not as kind as the Queen Mother.

"Ah... the father and mother have to wait for darkness. Their goal is too big. I came here in advance. Let's feel it first. Oh, it's really too lively. How many people are coming here?" Zhu Biao looked around happily.

Zhu Lang laughed and said, "Four or five thousand people... Thanks to the people sent by His Majesty, otherwise our family would really be fooled this time. By the way... Come into the house quickly and see that my sister-in-law has a big belly. Grandma might be so happy to see it."

"Hehe..." Zhu Biao laughed: "If you want to make grandma happy, then you should work harder too."

"I've worked hard enough. You don't know. Grandma doesn't know where I heard a prescription. I'm eating sheep's waist every day. It's not okay if I don't eat it. Once I don't eat it, the old man will look at himself with the most aggrieved look. There's nothing I can do."

Zhu Lang shook his head bitterly, and Zhu Biao laughed loudly and went home with the group. Sure enough, when the Crown Princess Chang entered the house, her belly made Aunt Wang very happy.

I grabbed Chang's hand all the way and gave all the good things in the house to Chang's food, which made Chang's so flatter. She felt the care of grandma on Aunt Wang and also made Chang's first affection for the Zhu family. You must know that this favorability is very important.

Just when Mrs. Wang was babbling with Chang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Lang went to see the kang room together. Zhu Biao, like Zhu Yuanzhang, had a very good relationship with the chicken, duck, goose gussets in the kang room. Every time he came, he would definitely go to see these chicken, duck, goose gussets first.

Because in Zhu Biao's eyes, these chicken, duck, goose shoots are important things for the people of the Ming Dynasty to improve their lives in the future, and they must be optimistic about it.

"Brother Lang...you are really amazing. You are better than your elder brother..." Zhu Biao said with emotion at the eggs in the kang room.

"Haha...Brother...How can I compare with you? What I do is trivial matters. The eldest brother is the one who does big things. The Ming Dynasty will be in the hands of the eldest brother in the future. At that time, I will do my best to help the eldest brother." Zhu Lang smiled.

"Then brother is a little confident, but why don't you do your best to help your father?" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Lang.

Zhu Lang frowned slightly at this time: "Brother, I will tell you about this matter. I don't want to do my best to help His Majesty, but when I see His Majesty, I am afraid. It's too murderous and the smell of blood is very heavy.

I was worried that if I had a bad time, I would be chopped off the head the next moment.

And I don’t worry about my elder brother. I know that no matter what I did, as long as I don’t rebel, my elder brother will definitely not let me have something to do, so I don’t worry, I will only do my best to my elder brother.”

Knowing that Zhu Lang was talking about heart-wrenching words, Zhu Biao also smiled and nodded: "Yes... The father is too murderous. In fact, sometimes I am afraid, but, Brother Lang, you said something wrong."

"Ah...what was wrong?" Zhu Lang was surprised.

Zhu Biao laughed: "Even if you really rebel, your elder brother will not kill you. This is the privilege given to you by your elder brother. You are the elder brother's younger brother. Your elder brother will protect you for the rest of your life, and no one can hurt you."

"Brother..." Zhu Lang felt a little moved.

"Silly boy... Okay... Let's go, and we have to go and congratulate Uncle Erbao and Uncle Erhu. We came here as soon as we came. It's a bit too unrestrained." Zhu Biao touched Mo Zhulang's head.

"Oh..." Zhu Lang nodded with a smile.

Later, Zhu Lang will make an important decision for Zhu Biao's words today.
