Chapter 543: Ming Union Ceremony (1)
"Slave Zheng He, meet the saint."
The singing outside the Qianqing Palace really echoed in the palace for a long time.
During this waiting, Zheng He's head hung down, quietly staring at the spotless masonry on the ground.
It should be that there have not been too many courtiers for a long time.
It wasn't until a pair of simple cloth boots entered Zheng He's eyes that the latter woke up and raised his head sharply.
The familiar face is much younger and more energetic than the impression before he left.
She also had a babbling baby in her arms.
"Slave Zheng He, knock on my emperor's holy bow to Jin'an."
Zheng He was very excited and planned to kowtow, but smashed his head on the surface of Zhu Yunwen's feet.
"Get up, get up."
At this moment, Zheng He suddenly felt a sour nose, and burst into tears: "How dare the slave, I didn't hurt the emperor." ”
"As for it, can I still smash my toes off with a touch?"
"That's it, you haven't returned for three years, how can you still be so polite and angry." Shuangxi on the side was holding a small rattle and a small thermos in his hand, and the rippling liquid inside seemed to be milk.
"Zheng He, I'm afraid that if I didn't see Shuangxi you and me, I should have seen two little guys, and one of my subordinates is really very buried."
In the hearty laughter, Zhu Yunwen stretched out a hand and pulled Zheng He, who didn't dare to ink anymore, stood up suddenly, followed Zhu Yunwen, and slowly walked into the Qianqing Palace.
There is not much change here from three years ago, but it may be because there are not too many courtiers running here, it seems a little deserted, and there are many fewer brocade guards and palace eunuchs that can be seen everywhere.
The Qianqing Palace, which covers an area of tens of thousands of feet, is not popular but very messy.
The entire main hall where the emperor lived was full of all kinds of small and fragmentary objects, much like a baby's toy.
Building blocks, paintings, puzzles, small sand tables, wheelbarrows.
If it weren't for the plaque hanging outside the hall with the words Qianqing Palace written on it, Zheng He would have thought that the place he came from was a children's paradise.
"Emperor, what's in your arms?"
The emperor is only forty years old, and he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and no one can say whether he is holding a son or a grandson in his arms.
"Oh, this is Wen Kui's youngest son, named Zun Xuan."
Zhu Yunwen smiled, and took Zheng He from the main hall through the side corridor, until he reached the warm pavilion where he slept.
After entering the warm pavilion, the environment is much cleaner and tidy, although the decoration is very simple, which is also Zhu Yunwen's consistent style.
Put the child into a bassinet car, next to it there is Gong E slowly pushing and shaking, and when it doesn't take long, Xiao Zun Ying is also tired after a day of playing, and he falls asleep.
"Send the queen there."
After sending this little ancestor away, Zhu Yunwen retracted his gaze and smiled gently at Zheng He.
"Now I and the queen are busy taking care of their grandchildren every day, you see that I have been made this body, it is a little unsightly."
After laughing a few words of self-deprecation, Zhu Yunwen raised the small teapot and pointed at Zheng He: "It's good to come back, it's been hard work for you all these years." ”
With a casual word of concern, Zheng He felt that he couldn't control the emotions in his heart, and the tears fell down, making Zhu Yunwen and Shuangxi laugh for a while.
"Why can't I go out for three years and suffer from tear-eye disease, why don't I cry at every turn."
"The slave has lost her temper." Zheng He wiped his eyes and grinned: "It's just that seeing that the emperor's spirit is much better now than before, the slave and maid are crying with joy." ”
"Can it be good, the burden on my shoulders has been lifted, so I will exercise all day long, follow Xiang Yu's old guy to practice what self-cultivation skills, and take my grandson with me the rest of the time, ride a bicycle and play football in and out of this palace."
While chatting, Zhu Yunwen also rolled up his sleeves and showed off his strong arms to Zheng He.
"See, Zheng He, don't believe it, I'm now bare-handed, and three or five brocade guards may not be able to enter."
Zhu Yunwen's style made Zheng He involuntarily look at Shuangxi with a wry smile.
What is the emperor's motivation for?
Double Happiness gave a reassuring look.
"What the emperor said is very true, if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be used in this palace, let alone three or five, it would be a hundred households, and they wouldn't be able to enter."
"The situation you're talking about only exists when I pedal my bike and escape."
The master and servant all burst out laughing.
Zheng He thought that when he came back, the emperor would first talk about some of the things he had seen and heard about this trip and the specialties and crops he brought back, but he didn't expect the emperor to mention anything, just chatting about some homely greetings.
"I've been tired for two or three years, so let's have a good rest for a few days."
In the evening, the Shangshan Bureau sent a meal, and Zhu Yunwen didn't greet anyone, so he took Shuangxi and Zheng He, and the three of them ate together in the warm pavilion.
During the meal, Zhu Yunwen did not ask Zheng He about going to sea.
In Zhu Yunwen's case, Zheng He is far more worthy of his attention than those so-called high-yield crops.
"Oh yes, you are from Yunnan, I heard that the scenery of Lijiang in Yunnan is good, I have asked the Imperial Front Division to prepare an edict, and named you the Marquis of Lijiang, if you are old and the palace is deserted in the future, I will send you back to your hometown in Yunnan, and you will be my guide."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen put down the dishes and chopsticks and gently patted Zheng He's forearm: "In the nearly twenty years since I ascended the throne, you have also drifted on the sea for more than ten years, and you are now old, and when you entered the palace from the fourth uncle's mansion, what a heroic and handsome person you were."
The sea is a place where the waves are vicious, don't drift away, rest assured, and take care of it for a few years. ”
Zheng He froze and wanted to get up, but Zhu Yunwen was holding his shoulder.
turned his head to look at Zhu Yunwen, but he couldn't say anything, except crying.
Crying non-stop.
There is always a kind of person in this world who is worthy of the willing life of his followers.
The meal was eaten quickly, and after it was over, Zheng He was led away, and in the small warm pavilion, there were only two people left, Zhu Yunwen and Shuangxi.
From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned anything other than private matters.
"Sanbao grew up with the fourth uncle since he was a child, I killed Gao Sui, and the fourth uncle was dismissed, Sanbao must be extremely sad in his heart. He has paid so much for our Daming, I will say to him for Daming, no, shouldn't it. ”
Shuangxi stood silently behind Zhu Yunwen, and both of them faced the direction in which Zheng He left.
Don't look at Xu Buji's joy in the cabinet now, everything in this country is still Zhu Yunwen is constantly worrying.
Xu Buji is determined to rule the country according to law, but China's thousands of years of feudal monarchy and the characteristics of the bureaucratic class can be completely corrected after a new day in more than ten years.
It's not that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, keeps making up for it behind his back.
"The news of Sanbao's return to Beijing, Quanzhou reported to the General Administration Department ten days ago, but he was suppressed by Xu Gelao."
Shuangxi silently muttered: "Everyone in the world knows that Sanbao is close to Your Majesty, but the cabinet rejected it with a clause of regulations. ”
"What's the hurry?"
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand, at this moment, he no longer looked like a kind and kind middle-aged man who teased Sun.
"He's busy with him, we're busy with ours. Talk to the Academy of Sciences, I will pass in a few days, and take Zheng He with me. ”
The night is deep, making it difficult for the world to get a glimpse of the sky.
