The people in the Zhu family all have a personality, that is, they can’t stand the wind by their pillow.

This is true for Emperor Taizu and Empress Ma, and later Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, and even more so for Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan. Look at Emperor Chenghua, no matter how stupid or foolish he is, but just this is the only thing, then congratulations is that Emperor Chenghua is definitely his biological child. This is the gene of the ancestors, so there will be no mistakes.

Empress Xu and Zhu Di are actually similar, but the impression gives people the impression of Zhu Di's man, which is nothing more than that of Empress Xu, who is self-aware and hopes to be a virtuous queen. Like Empress Ma, there will occasionally be a few suggestions, but will never interfere in politics easily. As for Empress Zhang, a little worse than Empress Ma and Empress Xu, Concubine Wan is purely a cheating man. As the saying goes, one generation is worse than the other, you can see through it.

Zhu Di was indeed moved after hearing Empress Xu's words. If someone else had said this heartfelt word, the suspicious Zhu Di would have doubted his intentions and refused without even thinking about it. But now, he had to think about it carefully.

Mu Ying... Mu Ying...

Empress Xu mentioned Mu Ying.

The Mu family is indeed a role model among adopted sons. Not only did he make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but he fought south and north for the Ming Dynasty, especially the pacification of Yunnan. He was also loyal and had never had any mistakes in defending the southern border for the Ming Dynasty. Mu Ying's eldest son Mu Chun, who followed his father to fight in the southwest at the age of 17, and later pacified rebellion in Yunnan and other places. He accumulated military merits and was awarded the assistant of the Governor's Office of the Later Army. At that time, the ministers asked him to take the exam. The so-called exam is an internship, and he was afraid that Mu Chun was too young and could not take on the heavy responsibility. As a result, Emperor Taizu said: "This child is my family, so there is no need to take the exam." So he directly awarded the actual job. After Mu Ying's death, Mu Chun inherited the title and guarded Yunnan. He also suppressed the rebellions of Vimalakirti, pacified the Yue Shiman, Azi and others, which also made great contributions.

Mu Ying's second son Mu Sheng was also deeply loved by Emperor Taizu. Later, he served as the left governor of the Governor's Office of the Later Army. He was granted the title of marquis in the first year of Jianwen. At that time, Luchuan rebelled and Mu Sheng rebelled, and Mu Sheng made great contributions to the pacification of Luchuan. This southern expedition. Mu Sheng also led a group of troops to advance first. As the front army and guide of the Ming army, he has now fought bloody battles with Annan.

Emperor Taizu had always been suspicious of the generals who led the troops, but he was very trusted by his adopted sons and adopted sons. At that time, most of the founding heroes were massacred, but Mu Ying, Ping'an, Li Wenzhong, and Xu Sima were all relied on, not only letting them lead troops outside, but some even let them guard everywhere. It is worth mentioning that Ping'an was ordered to lead troops to resist Zhu Di after Zhu Di, and defeated Yan's troops repeatedly and killed several powerful generals. The Yan general did not dare to invent his attack. In the end, Ping'an was defeated, and Zhu Di still relied on him very much and ordered him to be the commander-in-chief of Beiping to guard Beiping.

It can be said that when Emperor Taizu was alive, he had cleared all the obstacles. He killed all the founding heroes, and the people who remained were somewhat capable. Apart from the people named Zhu, there were only the adopted sons of the old Zhu family. In fact, it can be seen from the Battle of Jingnan that the Yan army was mainly a group of vassal kings led by Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, while the Southern Army was headed by almost a group of adopted sons, Ping'an was the adopted son, and Li Jinglong was the son of Li Wenzhong, and Li Wenzhong was the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, this Battle of Jingnan was a war between the sons fighting their adopted sons and raising grandsons.

Even a suspicious person like Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved to value his adopted son so much. In fact, his adopted sons did not disappoint him. Whether it was Li Wenzhong, Ping'an or Mu Ying, they all proved their loyalty with practical actions.

Zhu Di couldn't help but be moved at this time. He always liked to use Emperor Taizu to gild his face, and shouted everywhere that my father liked me. After he came to power, he used the banner of restoring the ancestral system. Now Empress Xu directly convinced him with the allusion of Taizu, which was very lethal.

But this matter is indeed not small. Zhu Di certainly knew what it means to adopt an adopted son. He put his hands behind his back and wandered around the hall, and still had some doubts. Then he said, "I followed Li Wenzhong's example and gave him the surname Zhu, but he still ordered his surname Hao to worship his ancestral temple. This is nothing wrong. This kid is really good and has talent. I also like him quite a lot. I consider other things. He has always had a bad relationship with the prince. If he accepted him as his adopted son... I am afraid... Besides, the ministers in the court today issued an order to increase the authority of the Jinyiwei. They dare not speak out. It is true that they have resentment in their hearts. If this happens again, they will definitely jump out to object. If the prince is also involved, ah..."

Zhu Di's thinking was very accurate and he soon realized the problem. He adopted an adopted son, but his own son was very optimistic about it. It was not good to spread this.

However, Empress Xu didn't think so. The woman actually had her own emotional side. Instead, she smiled and said, "I have heard some rumors, but it is natural for young people to have some frictions. Hao Fenglou was their mother's savior after all, and they were too late to be grateful! Besides, once adopted, he would become his own brother. At that time, His Majesty called them to come and let them turn wars into jade. This conflict will naturally be resolved. The prince is of great character and is not a petty person. And Hao Fenglou, although his mind may not be open-minded, he would not be embarrassed by the prince for his sake."

Zhu Di smiled bitterly, thinking that Empress Xu was a little naive, but it was not easy to point it out, so he simply said, "Okay, this matter is settled for the time being. I have to say that Hao Fenglou is not a good thing. Since he adopted him, I will not give this reward. There is a guy named Zeng Jian. I have a vague impression. It is said that he was shot last night, but he was injured and warned. If he hadn't been promptly warned, these rebels might have succeeded. Zeng Jian would have issued a message to reward him more and let Ji Gang do it."

"As for you, I will have to rest more in the past few days. I will invite Hao Zheng to the palace tomorrow. He is going to Annan. His son is getting married. He is also happy. He has to honestly send me a mission. I will not raise idle people. I will just tell him about this tomorrow. If you want to adopt someone else's son, you must ask others to agree. Otherwise, wouldn't you become a robber? But I think Hao Zheng will definitely nod, and I will keep his incense, and it is not a big deal to let Hao Fenglou provide his ancestral hall for the Hao family."

Empress Xu nodded with a smile.

As he was speaking, the prince and the king of Han arrived. A eunuch informed him and Empress Xu said radiantly: "Please come in, it's hot outside. Come on, add a few basins of ice to cool down the heat of the two Your Highnesses."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu entered the hall together and saluted to their father and queen. Zhu Di has always been the image of a strict father. He held his face and ate tea with a tea cup. Queen Xu smiled and said, "Sit down and talk. Queen Mother is not the West Warehouse, so there is no need to be so nervous."

This sentence means something, and the tea that Zhu Di almost sprayed out.

The two looked at Zhu Di carefully. Seeing that Zhu Di did not object, they found a chair to sit sideways. Zhu Gaochi was fat and sweating a lot. He was sweating all over his body. A eunuch handed over a wet wipe. He wiped it on his forehead and then put it back in the basin. He said politely: "My mother, is your health better? Zhan Ji was so scared when he heard about the matter of the Queen Mother. He desperately said that he wanted to protect the Queen Mother and kill all the rioters. His son laughed and taught him to kneel in the Minglun Hall to reflect. It is good to have filial piety, but at a young age, he is so murderous, but he violated the teachings of his father. The father often said that he should be punished for his government, but he should not implicate innocent people. Like Zhan Ji, he is as unsure of right and wrong, how can he have a child when he grows up?"

As soon as Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, he showed an extremely high level.

From his position, he does not want anyone to exaggerate the matter through this rebellion, because once the situation is expanded, the power of the Jinyiwei will be enriched. If the Jinyiwei creates a few unjust prisons and points the finger at some important officials of the court, then his position as the prince will be in danger.

But now Zhu Di is angry. Not only will the direct persuasion not be effective, but it may cause suspicion. Once Zhu Di suspects his intentions, he will probably be done.

So Zhu Gaochi brought out Zhu Zhanji, who was the saint grandson and had always been loved by Zhu Di and Empress Xu. When he heard that Zhu Zhanji was the boy, Zhu Di, who was holding his face, could not help but show a bit of kindness.

Zhu Zhanji said some truths and finally changed the subject. Zhu Di often taught that the sage should be kind and never expand the scope of the attack. This not only gave Zhu Di a high hat and also put himself in an impeccable position. Anyone who wanted to refute it would be equivalent to refuting his father.

Zhu Gaochi's political wisdom has reached its peak of excellence, and has grown a lot in the past two years.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Empress Xu couldn't help but smile: "A child is ignorant, why did you teach him a lesson? He told him to kneel all day long. Where can you teach your child like this? Zhan Ji is so young, you just bear it so much and ask someone to go to the East Palace so that he doesn't have to kneel anymore. My grandmother, who was not frightened, was also uncomfortable."

Zhu Di was also moved and scolded, "It's really nonsense. What's wrong with children? Teach them well and punish them at any time. Is this like a father?"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this is the fault of his son." But he knew in his heart that Zhu Di had just said that what the child was wrong and taught him well, which shows that Zhu Di also felt that killing innocent people was a wrong decision.
