Chapter 204: Heavenly Home (I)
Time always passes by inadvertently.
If it weren't for the zongzi sent by Ma Enhui, Zhu Yunwen wouldn't have noticed it, and before he knew it, it was another year's Duanyang Festival.
"Let's eat something first."
Ma Enhui beckoned the palace maid to set up the food, and he walked to Zhu Yunwen's side and looked sideways slightly: "The First National Population and Land Inventory Plan of the Ming Dynasty".
Most of this proclamation has been rendered by dense words, and there are still drips of sweat in many places, and it can be seen that Zhu Yunwen has been writing for a long time.
Putting down the pen and shaking his sore wrist, Shuangxi took a bowl of chilled mung bean soup from Bingjian, Zhu Yunwen took it and drank it all, and then sighed.
"Time flies, it's dark."
"It's hot, the heat is heavy, Your Majesty shouldn't always sit and sit all day, you should still move around more."
Ma Enhui was worried about Zhu Yunwen, but she complained again.
"Your Majesty, you are always like this, when you are busy, you often forget the time for ten days and half a month, and the concubine's side is almost a meeting place for several sisters."
After several new daughters-in-law entered the palace, except for one of them who mixed with the round house with the same family, they never saw what the emperor looked like, and they all thought that Zhu Yunwen favored Ma Enhui, but they turned to Kunning Palace and wanted to pay attention to it, but they found that the emperor really didn't have any sense of existence with these daughters-in-law.
Hearing the voice of Ma Enhui's words, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly patted the former's small hand on his shoulder and promised.
"When I'm done with these few days, I'll accompany you well."
After a pause, he said again.
"In a few days, I will arrange for the Imperial Front Division and the Ministry of Industry to build a garden on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, and by the way, repair the palace left by Taizu at that time, and it will be almost completed next month, and we will just go to escape the heat on the dog days."
Ma Enhui was standing behind Zhu Yunwen at this time, with two hands on both sides of the latter's cheeks, gently pressing the latter's temples, and let out a sigh when she heard the words.
"It's rare that Your Majesty wants to rest for a while, and the concubine is naturally happy and tight."
"The queen mother's health is not very good, the atmosphere in this palace is very stuffy, and she must be invited to her old man when the time comes, let's be daughters-in-law, take the children to chat with her, and be relieved."
Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that he had been a little unfilial and cold over the years.
The Ming Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and Taizu was even more influenced by Empress Xiaoci Gao, and he also advocated filial piety, such as Empress Xiaoci's adoptive father, that is, Taizu's noble Guo Zixing.
Even if the two sons of the latter had a quarrel with Emperor Taizu, and there was a conquest of the army back then, but for the descendants and grandchildren of the old Guo family, Taizu should still be the prince of the prince, and the prince of the prince.
At this point, he Zhu Yunwen is indeed not qualified.
When he first came, he was first busy absorbing all the knowledge of this time and space, and then he was in a hurry to ascend the throne, so it can be said that his first year was like a sponge absorbing water, and his energy was not enough to study, where to make time to fulfill his filial piety.
There's no such emotional foundation.
Later, I went there a few times, but the Queen Mother had the green lantern ancient Buddha and scripture handouts, and Zhu Yunwen's ears were calloused. The Empress Dowager likes to say that he can't restrict the Empress Dowager, and for this matter, he even issued a strict order not to allow Zhu Wenkui to go to the Empress Dowager.
The children and grandchildren are not in front of their knees, which makes the old man's heart very uncomfortable. And the Queen Mother's body is already poor.
Several of his younger brothers built a mansion outside the palace, and even ran into the palace, trying to take the queen mother out of the palace to live, so that they could do their filial piety?
So what is he Zhu Yunwen?
Does it make people poke their backbones and scold them for being unfilial and cold-blooded and ruthless?
The longer I have been an emperor, the more thoroughly I understand the words "lonely".
"Yun Xi is not too young, and I am going to tell him about his family."
Thinking of his family, Zhu Yunwen felt that it was time for him to take some time out to settle down with his family.
Zhu Biao has nine children, in addition to the eldest son Zhu Xionglang died early, there are four other sons, in addition to Zhu Yunxi became the emperor, among the other three younger brothers, Zhu Yunxi became a relative long before Taizu Bintian, and the remaining two have gradually grown up over the years.
"Yun Xi is eighteen years old, and seeing that the crowning ceremony will be held in two years, it is indeed time to get married."
At this age, at the age of eighteen, he is not married, which can definitely be called a late marriage and late childbearing.
Can Zhu Yunxi not be in a hurry?
Young Sichun, this Nanjing City Son of Heaven is at his feet, dignitaries and dignitaries are like clouds, there will always be a few handsome girls in the family, where will the young man not have a few favorites.
But he doesn't like it, he is Zhu Yunwen's younger brother!
Who is left to his concubine's position, he doesn't count.
So in the past few years, Zhu Yunxi didn't even dare to accept a concubine, let alone tarnish the innocence of his daughter, which also caused this child to get close to his Liao uncle Zhu Zhi.
In fact, the Imperial Front Division also sent these gossip messages to the palace, which made Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui very embarrassed.
"Does Your Majesty have a favorite person?"
Speaking of this short matter in the family, Ma Enhui, a woman, obviously came with a lot of interest, and introduced it in her mouth.
"At the New Year's banquet, there are many women and concubines who recommended a lot of handsome girls, who originally planned to fill the palace for His Majesty, but they didn't have this life in your eyes, but you can refer to one or two."
As she spoke, Ma Enhui's mouth kept popping out some girls' names and family backgrounds, and at the end, she asked Zhu Yunwen if she liked it, but the latter shook her head and said no.
"I remember, Hanshan Marquis Yang Wen has a little daughter."
Ma Enhui's face was slightly embarrassed: "It was born in the side room, this identity." ”
Since ancient times, this sentence is just for men.
Yang Wen's youngest daughter is a concubine, where is she worthy of Zhu Yunxi, the orthodox royal concubine, Yang Wen's wife has never made up for the excitement of climbing the dragon and the phoenix.
"The left and right are nothing more than a loss for our heavenly family."
Zhu Yunwen slapped the board, no matter how ugly Yang Wen's daughter is, he Zhu Yunxi has to pinch his nose and follow the procedures of the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites if he is dissatisfied with seven or eight who are not angry.
As for why this kind of good thing fell on Yang Wen's head, it was very simple.
Yang Wen has been in prison for a few months for no reason.
When it comes to an arranged marriage, he Zhu Yunwen has no burden in his heart, so Zhu Yunxi, as a royal nobleman, enjoyed some of the glory that his life brought to him as soon as he was born, as a price, shouldn't he sacrifice a trivial choice?
Born in heaven, how can anything be said to come according to one's own will?
After eating, Ma Enhui saw that Zhu Yunwen didn't seem to have any intention of going to her, so she left unhappily, and Zhu Yunwen turned her eyes to double happiness.
"Summoning Zhu Shangbing, King of Qin, and Zhu Jixi, King of Jin....... Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi, they came. ”
A series of dozens of names, but also thanks to Zhu Yunwen and Shuangxi's memory is excellent, Zhu Yunwen said, Shuangxi has written it down, even if there are more later, Shuangxi only remembers a single name according to the typesetting of each branch There is no pressure.
"Yes, the slave and maid will send someone."
With so many people, more than a dozen princes and county kings are all in the process of being summoned at this time, and Shuangxi has to arrange for some people to run over.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly received a summons from his imperial brother who ruled heaven and earth in the palace.
For his eldest brother, Zhu Yunxi's heart is very afraid.
This fear comes from strangeness!
He followed Zhu Yunwen from childhood to adulthood, and he knew the emperor's temperament and temperament, if it weren't for Zhu Xionglang's early death and the Yuan Concubine Chang's rebellion, how to look at this throne should be Zhu Yunxi's.
Zhu Yunwen, the second son, was never taken seriously when he was a child, even if he later became the eldest son.
Identity is a thing that is born in the heavenly family, and it is something that will directly doom the fate of a lifetime, and it will not change easily, just like the children of those clansmen, they will never be able to touch the throne in their lifetime.
In this case, what bold ideas can Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi have?
Honest, cautious, and low-key, that is, the education they received when they were young, humility and benevolence are all things that they must carve into their bones, and their own father Zhu Biao cannot let these concubines breed ambition and worry about those things that should not be what they should be worried about.
But who would have thought that the situation was unpredictable, the Lu family was straightened into the main room, the son was valued by the mother, and the concubine became the son-in-law.
Zhu Yunwen was appointed by Taizu as a grandson after Zhu Biao's death, and every New Year's Festival, hundreds of officials will go to Wenhua Hall after eight bows in Fengtian Palace, and bow to Zhu Yunwen, a milky child.
But even at this time, Zhu Yunwen's character is still so humble, it is an idea that comes out of elementary education, and it is not something that can be easily changed.
But why did you suddenly change someone?
Everyone, including Zhu Yunxi's close relatives, has only one idea: that is, our emperor has always been an ambitious party that looks down on wolves, and the so-called benevolence and filial piety when he was young is just a disguise.
The lord of male guesses, nothing else.
Isn't it enough for an emperor who knows how to disguise himself as a child to make people fearful?
This is also the main reason why those of them who are younger brothers leave Ouchi and move out of the palace to live. The so-called getting older, avoiding suspicion and the harem are just excuses.
There are nearly 10,000 palaces and houses in the palace, and they can't accommodate two or three and a half children?
So when he received the summons to enter the palace, Zhu Yunxi's heart has never been steady.
As soon as he stepped into the Qianqing Palace, the cool air on his face made Zhu Yunxi's mind clear, and he cautiously glanced at Zhu Yunxi's vague figure, and hurriedly crawled to the ground.
"Brother of the courtiers, see my emperor's holy bow to Jin'an."
In my ears, a voice sounded in the distance: "Zhen'an, get up." ”
Zhu Yunxi got up tremblingly, and when he had the heart to ask, he heard Zhu Yunxi say again: "Sit down and wait for a while, I also summoned other people." ”
In this way, the Qianqing Palace fell into silence again, Zhu Yunxi drank two sips of ice water, and then waited for another younger brother Zhu Yunxi, which made Zhu Yunxi a little unexpected, that is, in addition to his younger brother, there were many clan brothers of the same age, and uncles who had been staying in the palace for several years.
Taizu's little uncle, who had a son in his old age, has now grown into a half-sized child.
"I called you here today, not for business, just some family matters."
As soon as Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, he first set the tone of today's summons, which made the big guys breathe a sigh of relief and feel a lot more at ease.
"In the past few years, because of the matter of the emperor and businessmen setting up the platform, our family has gathered in this Nanjing city, and on weekdays, all families can walk around the door without anything, and they can drink together in their spare time, and they are happy and harmonious, and I am happy in my eyes."
As soon as Zhu Yunwen's words were said, I don't know how many people secretly pouted.
Cutting the domain is said to cut the domain, why is it so subtle?
As if knowing the big guy's heart, Zhu Yunwen had a smile on his face.
Let's see how many descendants of these Taizu are in front of you.
Excluding those older Uncle Wang, and his uncles and brothers who are imitating Zhu Yunwen or a little younger, there are thirty or forty people, and these are all princes and county kings of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention much, if one person has five or six children, there will be hundreds of relatives in the next old Zhu family, but in fact, the fourth generation of the entire old Zhu family has thousands of people.
"Shang Bing, I heard that at the beginning of this year, there was a rebel named Gao Fuxing who was in rebellion in Chu County, attacking the official office and endangering the township, and you personally took your personal guards to arrest this traitor, right?"
Zhu Yunwen's gaze turned to the current Qin King Zhu Shangbing, who was busy getting up: "Your Majesty Lao is worried, and the affairs of the courtiers and brothers are not enough to mention." ”
"Sit down, sit down."
Stretching out his hand with a smile, Zhu Yunwen said: "Don't be so polite to me, just sit back and talk with peace of mind." ”
After a pause, he praised again: "When I heard the news, I was very excited, and I said: I am worthy of the descendants of the Taizu.
Both inside and outside the court, they all feel that our royal family is stained with the light of Taizu, and it is up to them to play with the pen to actually govern the world. ”
I don't know why, when I heard Zhu Yunwen talk about this matter, the eyelids of dozens of people in this hall jumped slightly.
The Emperor's moth seemed to be planning to come out of their heads.
"When I first ascended the throne, some remote uncles and princes complained to me, such as Uncle Qingwang, Uncle Liao, and Uncle Su, all of whom said that the frontier was bitterly cold, and most of their money was given to the guards below and some hungry people who were hungry, and their lives were not as good as the old wealth of the landlords in the countryside.
I was very anxious when I heard this, for the sake of our family, I gritted my teeth and sold all the imperial property left by my grandfather, and used this silver to set up the imperial merchant's platform. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen pretended to be a gesture and said: "Seeing that in the past two years, all branches have received a share of profits, and the days have become more and more prosperous and down-to-earth, I feel that I have done the right thing, and this year I have called back Uncle Ning Wang, including Jixi and Shang Bing, who are far away in Daning. What is saved is to let the big guy suffer less from the cold of the north and enjoy more blessings. ”
Isn't it fragrant to have fewer high-headed war horses and more rouge horses?
The big guy thought about it in his heart, but in fact, he also felt that the life after coming to Nanjing was good, the people were a lot richer, and the skin was much better.
What's more important is that there is a lot of fun in daily life.
In the past, the big guys had their own domains, and they were all local snakes, and they were called lonely princes, where could there be a friend who could accompany them to drink and have fun?
It's different when you get to this Nanjing city, everyone is a family of cousins, and they are all about the same age, so they have nothing to make an appointment to drink together, listen to a song, or run around Liren Street and Qinhuai River, how happy.
"Your Majesty is merciful, and the ministers are all deeply grateful."
"It's all my job."
Zhu Yunwen smiled, and the words changed abruptly: "So seeing that everyone can live well on the annual profit sharing of the imperial merchants, I think that the annual income of the princes and county kings can be exempted." ”
Exempt from the annual salary of the clan relatives?
This sentence made the faces of dozens of people change color in unison.
The emperor wants to cut down the hardcore crops of his clansmen!
