Chapter 20: Cabaret
Zhu Yunwen ushered in the first festival in the Ming Dynasty: the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When he came, Duanyang had just passed, and at that time, Taizu Long was in poor health, and the Nanjing government and the opposition did not dare to celebrate the festival, Zhu Yunwen didn't even step on his tail, this Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace was much more festive.
Zhu Yunwen woke up from sleep, Ma Enhui was nowhere to be found, and several palace maids prepared court clothes and waited on the side.
"Why did you change into court clothes today?"
Zhu Yunwen changed the days of the court meeting, and always wore light civilian clothes in the palace on weekdays, and asked when he changed clothes.
"Back to Your Majesty, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Your Majesty will accept congratulations from inside and outside the palace in the Huagai and Fengtian halls."
It's just a festival, as for such a big battle.
In later generations, the festival flavor has faded a lot, and the big guys are more likely to only get together for a meal, and those who are busy with work at home may not even rush back to eat.
After Zhu Yunwen changed his clothes, he was about to move to the Huagai Palace, and Ma Enhui led all the attendants in the harem, several younger brothers, including several little uncles in the harem to wait.
"Golden Autumn Festival, congratulations to Your Majesty, may the country and the people be safe, the four seas are salty, Your Majesty is healthy, and everything goes well."
Ma Enhui bowed down and was hugged by Zhu Yunwen before he landed.
Zhu Yunwen didn't like to kneel, but no one in the palace took this message seriously.
"Eat something first, the ministers are waiting in the Fengtian Palace."
After the ceremony, Zhu Yunwen led the way into the Huagai Palace, and Ma Enhui prepared food early, "Uncle Wang's congratulatory gifts from all over the world entered Beijing yesterday." ”
Zhu Yun was happy, "A few days ago, the two of us scattered the inner treasury, but today I came back with a little interest, but I don't know if I want to return the gift, I am really shy here." ”
"Your Majesty's words can't be heard by outsiders, otherwise your Majesty will be stingy again."
Ma Enhui pursed her lips and smiled, and took out a notebook, "The list of congratulatory gifts from Uncle Wang in various places was counted by the Imperial Front Division last night." Also, there is a family banquet in the palace in the evening, and the list of banquets, Your Majesty, take a look at which people want to take them out. ”
Zhu Yunwen didn't answer, and ate by himself, which was actually just a few fritters and a bowl of egg soup.
Zhu Yunwen didn't do much all day, and he couldn't get used to eating in the early Ming Dynasty, but he took advantage of his free time to guide the Shang Shan Bureau to make a lot of snacks for later generations.
"The affairs of the inner court, you can make your own decisions, I won't look at it, you have the final say on who you invite, but there are no good things in the things sent."
Ma Enhui opened the notebook and introduced, "There is nothing unusual, the north sends more fur horses, Jiangnan sends good Su embroidery, and the coast sends a few pearls, but Uncle Min Wang has prepared a generous gift for you." ”
Zhu Yang?
In the broken place where his poor bird doesn't, what good things can there be, it really needs to be full of gold and jade, rare treasures, and I don't know how many people have to exploit it.
Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly darkened, "Oh? What did he have? ”
Ma Enhui stared at Zhu Yunwen, "A pair of beauties in the Western Regions." ”
"Ahem!"
Zhu Yunwen choked to death, turned his head and looked at Ma Enhui incredulously, "What is it?" ”
Ma Enhui rolled her eyes slightly, "Your Majesty pay attention to your manners, don't be too happy." ”
Zhu Yunwen couldn't cry or laugh, "You look at me like this, do you seem to be happy." ”
This Zhu Ling, in order to be more sealed by Yi Fan, is ingenious, seeing that Zhu Yunwen gave a woman when he was young, he had a lot of ideas.
"Uncle Qing Wang was in Qiwei, Kansai, and saw a song and dance troupe from the Western Regions, which contained a pair of twins, who were born in the country and the city, and were both good at singing and dancing, so Uncle Qing Wang bought it and sent it to Beijing overnight."
Ma Enhui's eyes were teasing, "Your Majesty is blessed, the Imperial Commander accepted it last night, and the concubine sent someone to see it, but it is a flower and a moon, charming and natural, and now send someone to teach etiquette, and if Your Majesty has a heart at night, you can stay and sleep." ”
"Drive away, drive away."
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly waved his hand, how could he have that energy, he was in his thirties in his heart, and the things between men and women were not as fatal as when he was young, plus Ma Enhui was also a rare beauty, the two of them were like newlywed Yan'er, like glue and paint, for beauty, Zhu Yunwen still has a lot of self-control.
"Send it back to King Qing and let him keep it and enjoy it."
Ma Enhui squeezed again, "Really? ”
Zhu Yunwen just wanted to nod, but a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, "Can you sing and dance?" Stay, or do it somehow. ”
Seeing Ma Enhui's expression of 'I know', Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly became like a bitter melon, "I don't mean anything else, I really keep it for him." ”
"How to use it, not to use it."
Ma Enhui bit down on this word, "If it can bring joy to Your Majesty, then it can be regarded as the creation of the two of them in this life." ”
In Zhu Yunwen's experience, women at this time are unreasonable, and the more they explain, the more they will be finished. Hurriedly finished breakfast and saluted to the Empress Dowager Lu, "Erchen retired first." ”
Walk briskly, and watch out for backyard fires.
As for why he stayed, Zhu Yunwen had a conscience, he really didn't want to keep it for himself to enjoy. In ancient times, women were good-looking, but they were just born beautiful, and in later generations, at best, they were seventy or eighty points, and they were just a standard suite on a blind date.
Women of later generations, plastic surgery and makeup, plus breast augmentation and waist slimming, yoga, blowing, playing and singing. Whoever brings it back to Daming can suck the emperor dry.
Zhu Yunwen has long had aesthetic fatigue, he is the secretary of the city government, and he is nicknamed "the second of the city government". Feast him every day, thinking about corrupting him in line, if there is no moderation, he will be imprisoned and awaiting trial.
The two beauties of the Western Regions who had not yet met were not enough to make him feel uneasy, so he stayed, but he just happened to think of the new army that was being prepared.
The political and ideological level of the soldiers in these years is naturally not as good as that of the soldiers of later generations, so Zhu Yunwen must strengthen the ideological construction of the army.
But the training period of the new army was bitter.
The boring training of the queue, those who have been soldiers know that it is a double torture of mental and physical, usually these soldiers have a few hours of rest every day, but now they are occupied by ideological education classes, and they are bitter for a while, for this reason, Tie Xuan has come to find it several times.
You have to give them a relaxed mind, and they can't always tighten the strings.
Isn't it good to sing and dance, then stay in the entire Daming Song and Dance Troupe.
The Department of Teaching and Workshop was eliminated by hand, and it was dignified, what does the whole government-run brothel look like.
Every ten days, you can go to the new military camp and play singing and dancing, which is also a kind of entertainment.
It's a song and dance condolence performance.
And during the New Year's holidays, there is always a need for some singing and dancing performances in the palace, but there is always a place to use it.
The former Jiaofang Department was renamed the station of the song and dance troupe, and he stayed in Nanjing on weekdays, so as to prevent him from becoming a military prostitute.
Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it, who could dare to run into Nanjing City and do whatever he wanted after eating the heart of a bear and a leopard's guts?
