Changpinghou Mansion.
Xiao Zhu Gaoxu looked at the uncle in front of him, his eyes full of excitement.
Finally I can learn skills from my uncle.
The chubby Zhu Gaochi was sitting on a chair not far away, eating dessert, his eyes narrowed, looking full of enjoyment.
Lao Zhu felt sorry for his grandsons, so he let them rest for a few days before starting classes.
"Gao Xu, if you want to learn skills from me, that's okay."
"But there are some things I have to tell you clearly in advance."
"You must also remember it firmly." Yang Xuan looked at Xiao Zhu Gaoxu in front of him and said.
"Uncle, please speak." Xiao Zhu Gaoxu said respectfully.
"Well, first of all, you can't rely on your status and force to bully the weak."
"Do not bully the people."
"yes."
"Secondly, let me think about the rest."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.
Is this still possible?
"Why are you so dazed? Let me see how your foundation is first?" Yang Xuan angrily patted Xiao Zhu Gaoxu on the back of his head.
Then I started to have a basic understanding of it so that I could decide how to teach it later.
Fortunately, this little guy has been strong-skinned since he was a child and has good physical fitness.
In addition, Zhu Di also attaches great importance to his second son, and the foundation of martial arts is very solid.
In this way, Yang Xuan felt relaxed.
After formulating a teaching plan, Xiao Zhu Gaoxu began to practice with Yang Xuan.
…
Summer passes and winter solstice comes, and the end of the year is here again in a blink of an eye.
During the autumn harvest, Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city once again had a bumper harvest, and the output increased a bit, but it was limited.
But this is already very good. After all, there is no complete theoretical support and it is all based on trial and error.
And this also provided Lao Zhu with enough good seeds.
Lao Zhu plans to expand planting in and around Yingtian Mansion next year, the 22nd year of Hongwu.
Lao Zhu has always attached great importance to the food issue. After waiting for two years, the time was almost right, and Lao Zhu finally started to take action.
Before, I just tried planting and cultivating good grain seeds in Huangzhuang.
Throughout the 21st year of Hongwu, the major problem of Beiyuan was eliminated, and the good news about grain crops made Lao Zhu very happy.
So this year, Lao Zhu plans to have a good time in the palace.
After all, all the feudal princes and heirs who can come are now in the capital.
It has been many years since so many people have gathered together, and Lao Zhu also wanted to have some fun.
In addition to grandchildren, married princesses and consorts will also celebrate the New Year in the palace.
On New Year's Eve, Yang Xuan and other officials paid their usual New Year greetings to Lao Zhu and received a small red envelope.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Yang Xuan and An Qing packed up and entered the palace early.
Today's New Year's Eve dinner is in charge of Guo Huifei, who is Queen Ma's adopted sister.
After Queen Ma left, she was basically in charge of everything in the harem.
After An Qing returned to the palace, he naturally went to find his sisters to reminisce and chat, and it was impossible for Yang Xuan to join them.
As for the other consorts, I know them, but I'm not familiar with them.
So he could only go to Zhu Biao.
Fortunately, his uncle did not ignore him, so the two found a place to chat by the stove.
As for Lao Zhu, he dealt with several more state affairs before finally arriving slowly.
Time comes in the evening, and the New Year’s Eve dinner begins.
Lao Zhu sat on the main seat, looking at the hall full of children and grandchildren below, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
But seeing the empty chair next to him, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He quickly adjusted his mentality and said some blessings before letting everyone start the meal.
Yang Xuan had been waiting for this moment.
He had a huge appetite, and a whole table of food quickly went into his stomach, including An Qing's portion next to him.
The little fat man sitting diagonally opposite him couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw this.
My uncle must have eaten too quickly. Fortunately, I didn't sit with him, otherwise I would have just stared.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, it's time to pay New Year greetings to the elders and receive red envelopes.
Zhu Biao set an example for everyone, and others followed suit.
When it was Yang Xuan's turn, he said some unique New Year's greetings, but the main content was actually flattering.
I have no other ideas, mainly I want to receive more red envelopes.
This made Princess Lin'an's consort Li Qi despise her deeply.
Mainly because his New Year's greetings were quite satisfactory and nothing new.
Finally, Lao Zhu's grandsons paid New Year's greetings. Regardless of whether the words they said were good or not, Lao Zhu was very happy to hear them.
The red envelope given was also huge.
Maybe older people have this mentality.
The twenty-first year of Hongwu ended like this, and the twenty-second year of Hongwu came quietly.
This year, Yang Xuan did not leave the capital. Apart from going to the East Palace every now and then to work overtime, he also taught little Zhu Gaoxu. The little guy's talent in martial arts was not bad and he made rapid progress.
Yang Xuan taught very seriously.
But one time, he discovered that this boy and several feudal princes were bullying the eunuchs who took care of them, and even broke the leg of one of them.
For this reason, Yang Xuan punished the little guy severely.
As the saying goes, a small tree will not flow until it is cultivated. A person's character can be seen at a young age.
Yang Xuan didn't want Zhu Gaoxu to cause trouble when he grew up, so he dealt with it very hard.
But after all, he is Lao Zhu's grandson and his senior sister's biological son, so it is impossible for Yang Xuan to really destroy him.
It just made him suffer a lot of physical pain, and he couldn't get out of bed for at least half a month.
When Lao Zhu found out, he was very angry and cursed Yang Xuan as a bastard, and wanted to deal with Yang Xuan severely.
Yang Xuan had expected it a long time ago. He did the prince's ideological work, and then the prince helped to plead for mercy, so that Yang Xuan could avoid the physical pain.
At the same time, Zhu Biao said that these vassal princes and heirs will all be princes and county kings in the future, and will have their own fiefdoms. If they are not well educated in virtue, it will be the people in the fiefdoms who will suffer in the future.
In this regard, Zhu Biao suggested that Yang Xuan teach the princes moral aspects.
Lao Zhu was very suspicious of Zhu Biao's proposal.
Because Yang Xuan is not a good person!
What if I teach my grandson a bad lesson?
Zhu Biao thought of a compromise and asked Hanlin scholar Liu Sanwu to teach the princes their virtues.
Yang Xuan only needs to supervise, and anyone who doesn't study hard will be beaten.
After all, although Yang Xuan had many minor problems, he never bullied the people.
Lao Zhu agreed to Zhu Biao's proposal.
By the way, Liu Sanwu was also made responsible for the moral conduct of the princes who had not yet ascended the vassal status, and Yang Xuan was still responsible for supervision.
The princes who received the news were filled with hatred for Xiao Zhu Gaoxu and the troublesome princes.
It is already not easy to attend classes in the main hall every day, but now there is also a moral class, which is supervised by Yang Xuan.
It's not like they haven't heard about Yang Xuan's reputation.
It is said that he beat King Yan and threatened King Qin more than ten years ago.
It can be called audacious.
Now he beat the prince so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
They don't want to mess with such a bold guy at all.
But Lao Zhu had already made a decision, and they were unable to change it. They could only lament in their hearts that the future would be difficult.
After that day, Zhu Gaoxu and other princes were "taken care of" by the emperor's uncles.
