The clan of the Ming Dynasty will eventually become a burden to the country in the future!

Zhu Yunxi knew very well that in a few years, according to the current clan and vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would bear the burden of supporting tens of millions of clan members for no reason.

That is a group of gluttons who do nothing to produce, waste people's money and money, and continue to exploit the local area.

With the emergence of party strife in the future of the Ming Dynasty, local clans will become as much a burden as the clans of the Ming Dynasty. The two are like two mountains, weighing heavily on the shoulders of the Rimu Empire like rotten wood.

But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi looked at the back of the old man in front of him, and he knew very clearly that as long as the old man was still in charge of the emperor's power and commanding the empire.

There will be no possibility of changing the clan system of the Ming Dynasty.

It is true that the old man was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also the father and grandfather of the current clan of the Ming Dynasty.

Everything the old man experienced more than 20 years ago reminded him all the time to support his family.

Therefore, it will also appear why the second uncle, the King of Qin Zhu Feng, was clearly in the fiefdom and committed the most taboo thing of oppressing the people. In the end, he could only be whipped ten times with thorns and sent to the Ancestral Temple to regret his mistakes.

On this issue, the old man himself is contradictory.

On one side are the common people of the world, on the other side are our own flesh and blood relatives.

To be able to do what he is now, Zhu Yunxi feels that the old man has gone through countless psychological balances.

When he was thinking about things, he didn't know that he had followed the old man into the side hall.

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and kept walking forward.

Putting his hands on his hips, he just turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang, whose eldest grandson was about to hit him. He couldn't help but glared and stretched out a hand to press on Zhu Yunxi's head.

"Why are you so distracted today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, blew his beard, and made a joke.

Zhu Yunxi, who was blocked in his way, reacted and raised his head to look at the old man with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, already said quietly: "Now that everyone who went to Zhongdu has come back, there is one more person. I am afraid that his mind is not here anymore."

The prince also made a joke, then stretched out his hand, and the eunuch behind him followed the direction pointed by the prince, took out a book and gave it to the prince.

Under the aggrieved expression on Zhu Yunxi's face, Zhu Biao actually hummed and started reading.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the prince's explanation, he also twitched his eyes and exclaimed: "What a shame! Now that you have a daughter-in-law, do you forget about your grandfather?"

Zhu Yunxi looked anxious: "Grandpa, please listen to my explanation..."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "We won't listen!"

He hummed, with a bit of a taste on his face, rolled his eyes, and crossed his legs.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his arm, put it on the table, touched a teapot, raised his head and started to sip.

After he drank enough, he let out a breath.

Then he raised his head and squinted at his eldest grandson, and moved his mouth: "Sit down, we are going to take a test to see what you have understood today."

This kind of examination has been indispensable every day since Zhu Yunxi sat in the seat of the emperor's grandson.

According to what the old man means, it is to check for deficiencies and fill them up. This procedure is indispensable.

Zhu Yunxi obeyed the order, nodded obediently, and sat cross-legged on the floor like an old man.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson calmly and said, "Tell me first what you have understood today."

After asking, the old man began to hold up the teapot that had been coated with pulp many years ago, and slowly sipped the tea soup towards the spout.

Zhu Yunxi looked thoughtful and frowned slightly.

Then, he spoke slowly and sorted out his thoughts today.

"Today, the meritorious generals and civil servants of the DPRK and China are pleading guilty, all for the sake of self-protection..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the old man.

Seeing that the other party was still sipping tea slowly, I continued.

"Grandpa may have understood clearly early in the morning, and they will come out of this early in the meeting."

"As for grandpa, he has been waiting for his second uncle to return to Beijing so that he can suddenly reappear in front of the courtiers using his second uncle's name."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a happy smile on his face, put down the teapot in his hand, looked at his eldest grandson kindly, and nodded to continue.

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "So, from the beginning, grandpa had no intention of delving into the crimes committed by the generals at home. Even... my grandson thought that grandpa knew from the beginning what they had done at home over the years."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Yunxi and groaned, showing some dissatisfaction.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "There are also those courtiers who were imprisoned in Jinyiweizhao Prison. Grandpa has no intention of pursuing their family members for their crimes."

As he said that, he hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Grandpa is actually waiting for the second uncle to return to Beijing so that he can resist this matter. It was the second uncle who said the beheading. The thing to intercede for them is

What the grandson said to his father."

Having said this, Zhu Yunxi stood up straight and knelt on the ground.

"Grandpa's words and deeds are all for the sake of father and grandson, and pave the way for father and grandson. Grandson, thank you!"

Seeing his eldest grandson kneeling in front of him to thank him, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with a smile on his face. He couldn't help turning his head proudly to look at the prince holding a scroll in his hand, but his eyes glanced at him from time to time.

Zhu Biao rolled his eyes helplessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to let his eldest grandson kneel all the time. He quickly reached out and patted his back, and said with a happy face: "Get up quickly."

Zhu Yunxi stood up immediately.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at his eldest grandson in front of him, with uncontrollable satisfaction in his eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, he pretended to be suspicious and said: "Then tell me, is there anything else you can understand today?"

Zhu Yunxi's expression paused. Is there anywhere else?

Could it be that today the old man is not just using the name of his second uncle to gain prestige and favor for himself and his father?

He couldn't help frowning and thinking.

He muttered in his mouth and reviewed the story again: "Jingchuan Hou and others asked for forgiveness, and the civil servants asked for punishment. The second uncle returned to the capital in time and took on the responsibility. In addition, that is... the fourth uncle's good news!

”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his head and looked at the old man with a deep smile.

He suddenly remembered that when he was outside the palace earlier, he was still thinking about what was missing.

At this time, he suddenly reacted.

"Grandpa has not given rewards to my fourth uncle and the soldiers who won the Northern Expedition!"

Then, Zhu Yunxi finally understood, but his expression was a little hesitant: "But... Grandpa, do you want to leave the matter of how to reward your fourth uncle and the army to your father or grandson?"

The prince, who was no longer interested in reading, could not help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally expected his eldest grandson to hold back his fart, also looked helpless.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man's expression and said defiantly: "Isn't it? Well... it seems inappropriate. This is the authority of grandpa. How to award rewards to the fourth uncle and the army is a major military matter. My grandson must not be able to do it well...

…”

As he said that, he began to think about it again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry and ignored the prince who put down his book.

"Money!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi raised his head and shouted loudly.

He really figured it out.

But at this moment, he looked at the old man who was smiling but not smiling, sitting cross-legged in front of him like an old man in the village.

Zhu Yunxi felt real fear and admiration in his heart.

Seeing his eldest grandson reacting, Zhu Yuanzhang was not anxious and just waited quietly.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi felt as if his heart was shaking.

Got it!

All cleared!

During these days, everything inside and outside Yingtian can be explained!

Starting from the time when I changed the title of the county to Huaiyou, everything came together.

He changed his title to Huaiyou, and the old man made a marriage arrangement for himself with the Tang family of Duke Xin's mansion.

Later, my father left Beijing for a tour to the west, and he left Beijing for Zhongdu. The second uncle was ordered to return to Beijing.

At this time, the battle in the north must have just been won, and the soldiers were returning from their duties.

To this day, after he came back from all of them, he became the grandson of the emperor who oversees the country.

The old man followed his second uncle back to Beijing to gain favor and reputation for himself in front of the courtiers.
