If nothing unexpected happens, they will gradually fade into obscurity. Therefore, Old Zhu occasionally thinks of giving him a chance.
Zhu Yunying then said, "My uncle-in-law is now a prefect, which is a fourth-rank official. Let's arrange for one of my two cousins to be a civil official and the other a military officer."
Old Zhu quickly waved his hand and said, "If we make them all military officers, our descendants will have someone to rely on in the future."
Zhu Yunying immediately understood and said, "Then let's send him to the Beijing Garrison. Commander and Deputy Commander are out of the question. Let's give my eldest cousin the rank of Assistant Commander, which is a fourth-rank position. Oh well, the same goes for my youngest cousin."
Military households were hereditary, so often the children of military officers were also military officers. The Ming Dynasty's capital guards included the Shangzhiwei, Nanjingwei, and Beijingwei, among others. Currently, the Shangzhiwei's Imperial Guard Command has twenty-six guards, one of which is the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yunying continued, "We should let people see the foundation of our Great Ming Dynasty, that they even dare to meddle in the affairs of the Hongwu Emperor!"
Zhu Yunying didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "As long as you two don't get dragged into this by Hu Weiyong, we didn't kill Li Shanchang. If we really want to talk about it, anyone else is fine, but Hu Weiyong and his traitors are not."
“We understand this principle. If we exonerate them, the Prime Minister will surely stir up trouble.” Zhu Yunying said with a smile, knowing the situation. “Grandfather, don’t worry, we know what we’re doing.”
When bestowing favors, one should of course maximize the benefits, but some favors should not be bestowed indiscriminately, a point that Zhu Yunying has always been very clear about!
