Although Yun Xi could guess that the White Lotus Sect must have arrangements, of course he couldn't guess what their arrangements were, and he only thought about it a little and put the matter down and concentrated on the New Year.

Since the Chinese New Year is over, it is indispensable to have all kinds of banquets and gatherings between relatives and friends, even the emperor is no exception. And this year, somehow, there are a lot of internal and external feudal lords who come to the capital to pay tribute. Among them, the foreign envoys can ignore them before the meeting, but he can't ignore the uncles and brothers of the inner domain, so he can only invite them into the palace every day, and go out of the palace to participate in the banquet and drink a few times.

The day soon came to the thirtieth day of the lunar month. On this day, as in previous years, Yun Xiyou and Queen Xiyao rushed to the place where the banquet was held with a few children. At the gate of the palace, Yun Xi met Yun Wen, and Yun Xi hurriedly saluted him.

"Second brother, we are a family, and today is the day of the family gathering, why bother to salute." Yun Xi hurriedly helped Yun Wei, and Xi Yao also went up to support Princess Wu Ma.

"Official, etiquette cannot be abolished." Yun Wei also said as in previous years. This year, however, his words were different. "Moreover, the official family personally led the troops and commanded the soldiers to defeat the 600,000 army of Samarkand, so that the king Timur was killed and the country was destroyed, and the peace in the western Xinjiang was laid, so I naturally want to congratulate the official family." Yun Wei said with a smile.

"Then the younger brother is disrespectful, thank you brother." Yun Hee also responded with a smile. The defeat of Timur was indeed something he was very proud of, and although he did not personally command the war, the significance of the battle cannot be overstated.

The two brothers said a few words, and Yun Wei said to Xi Yao unexpectedly: "Queen Mother." ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu." Xi Yao hurriedly responded.

"Thank you Niangniang for teaching Wen Kui." Yun Wei said sincerely.

"Your Highness has praised it." Xi Yao responded again.

"What's going on?" Yun Xi was about to say more, but Yun Xi suddenly interjected. He was a little confused about the conversation between them.

"Didn't the queen tell the official family?" Yun Wei said in surprise, and then said: "Wen Kui has been in the capital for a long time, playing with several of his uncles who are not motivated, and gradually becoming a little unmotivated. After the queen mother found out, she called Wen Kui into Kunning Palace and reprimanded them heavily, and then reprimanded those people, and Wen Kui started to study seriously again. So I thanked the Queen Mother. ”

"She's your brother and sister, you don't have to be so polite to her." Yun Xi continued: "Moreover, it is her duty to teach the children of the royal family in Beijing, so you don't need to be grateful. ”

Yun Wei smiled, said a few more kind words, and asked Wen Kui to salute Xi Yao and walk into the main hall. Xi Yao also wanted to walk in, but was stopped by Yun Xi. "Yao'er, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Husband, the concubine thought that her husband was busy with affairs, and this matter was not very important, so she didn't tell her husband." Xi Yao hurriedly replied.

"Well, it's really not very important. However, I remember that Wen Kui was similar to Yun Wei, who was also a stubborn and inflexible student of Confucianism? Yunxi asked.

"Husband, it's basically not bad, but Wen Kui is more enthusiastic about teaching others to learn Confucianism than the eldest uncle." Xi Yao said with a smile: "His subordinates in the palace, whether they are eunuchs or palace maids, have to learn some Confucianism and be able to recite the more well-known sentences in the Analects. ”

"That's it," Yun Xi also smiled, but then he thought of something, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Since last year, Wen Yuan and Wen Qi have also been studying in the Royal Academy, and Wen Yao has also been studying there two years ago, you should take care of them more." "There are indeed some very unmotivated people in the Royal Academy, and Yun Xi wants to kick them out every time he sees them. To be a good emperor, or even a good prince, you need to learn a lot of things, and you will only rely on power to govern the country is Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, although his power has been retained, but the country has been messed up.

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Xi Yao was about to nod, but suddenly he didn't know where the courage came from, although the timing was very inappropriate, he still said: "Husband, Wenyuan will be eight years old after the New Year, should he choose the instructor of Zhan Shifu for him?" ”

Yun Xi was about to walk into the hall when he heard Xi Yao's words, and immediately turned to look at her again: "Yao'er, why did you suddenly mention this matter at this time?" ”

"Husband, according to etiquette, Wenyuan should go out of the cabinet to study at the age of seven and set up the Zhan Mansion as an assistant. Wen Yuan is now studying in the Royal Academy with other people, and I am always afraid that he will be spoiled by those who do not seek to improve like Wen Kui, but I am afraid that he will be bored by asking about his performance in class every day; The subordinates can't enter the classroom, and they frequently invite a few gentlemen to come to the palace to see the concubines, and the concubines are afraid of causing bad rumors," Speaking of this, Xi Yao's originally slightly excited expression had completely disappeared, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was slightly choked and said.

The palace maids who followed Xi Yao were suddenly frightened, they had never seen Xi Yao have such an expression in public, and they stood in place one by one.

Yun Xi was also stunned, but then walked over and reached out to hug her, and said softly, "You don't need to say it, I know what you mean." ”

"Husband." Xi Yao leaned into his arms and said again.

"I understand your worries, don't worry, it's not that I have forgotten that I should teach Wenyuan, I just think that he is still young and does not need to start teaching so early. I also have a very detailed plan for how to teach Wenyuan, so you don't have to worry. Yun Xi said again.

At first, he was a little dissatisfied with Xi Yao mentioning this matter at this time, but after listening to her words, these dissatisfaction disappeared. 'Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Yun Xi couldn't help but think. Although Wenyuan is also his son.

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Xi Yao smiled happily, but then realized that there was something wrong with his actions at this time, but here in front of the public, he hurriedly broke away from Yun Xi's arms and smoothed his clothes.

She was about to say something more, when suddenly another woman's voice came from behind her: "Imperial brother, sister-in-law." ”

"Yun Zhi, you're here too." Yun Xi greeted very calmly.

"Well, my sister is here too." Yun Zhi walked up to him with a smile, glanced at Xi Yao again, and said, "Brother Huang, sister-in-law, sister knows that you have a good relationship, but you should pay attention." She suddenly looked to the other side: "Several brothers are patrolling there, and they don't dare to come." ”

When Yun Xi heard this, he hurriedly looked sideways to the other side, and saw a few young people from the fire character generation standing there, not daring to go here, and hurriedly saluted when he saw Yun Xi coming over.

"In that case, let's go inside." Yun Xi didn't care too much, and pulled Wen Yuan and Wen Qi away from the main hall; Xi Yao's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly took Min'er's hand and walked in.

……

……

Inside the palace, the vassal kings were talking enthusiastically. There are a lot of vassal kings who have come to Beijing this year, even Zhu Gaoxu, who was enshrined in Nanyang, and other vassal kings have returned. Usually no one cares what they do in their own mansion, but today it would be too silly to gather here and sit alone, and everyone is talking to people they know well.

"Fifth brother, I heard that the twelfth brother has discovered a vast continent in the east, on the other side of the ocean?" Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, said to Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou.

"That's true." Zhu Hu nodded and said, "It is indeed a vast continent. And it is very rich. There the Twelve Brothers found a lot of gold and silver, as well as many crops that they had never seen before. ”

"After I came to the capital, I asked the official family for some seeds, and I plan to bring them back to Kaifeng to see how they taste and whether they have medicinal value."

"Haha, fifth brother, I didn't come today to tell you whether those crops are good or not." Zhu Zhen laughed twice, but then lowered his voice: "I just think that Zhu Bai is living too comfortably in the new Hanzhou Continent, and he dominates such a large place. ”

"It wasn't a pleasant day." Zhu Hu was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Zhen's use of such words to describe Zhu Bai: "That's a place where all savages are!" If it weren't for the ignorance of the local savages who were frightened when they saw the grenade, Zhu Bai might have died in Hanzhou that day! ”

"And the civilization over there is very backward, the local people have not even invented the skill of smelting copper and iron, and there is no decent city, Zhu Bai has to start from scratch, how can he say that he is comfortable?"

"I said something wrong," Zhu Zhen immediately admitted his mistake: "Zhu Bai's life is indeed not comfortable, but it is much more interesting than the days when he was in Huguang." ”

"Staying in Huguang, although the life is leisurely, it is very boring; In the Hanzhou Continent, although it is a little harder, it is so interesting to explore a continent that has never been discovered before! And on a newly discovered continent, for the Ming Dynasty, but also for themselves to expand the territory, this is how exciting it is! Zhu Zhen said with a little excitement.

Zhu Zhen is also a person who is born idle and likes to lead troops to fight. Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, he has led troops to go out on many expeditions, and has put down rebellions in Huguang, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, and fought against countless barbarian tribes. Even during the Jianye period, he once commanded the counterinsurgency war against the barbarians in the southwest.

But these are not worth mentioning compared to Zhu Bai's actions in the Han Continent. Indeed, Zhu Bai defeated far less barbarians than him, but he was quelling the rebellion, Zhu Bai was expanding his territory, plus Zhu Bai said nothing in Hanzhou, which is equivalent to an independent kingdom, and he was still subject to many constraints in leading troops to fight in the southwest, compared with the two, it is needless to say where he would rather be.

Moreover, Yun Xi has been decreasing the number of vassal kings in the Central Plains over the years, and he is not unaware of it. Now there is only one vassal king left in the entire northern Central Plains, King Zhou, and he estimates that sooner or later he will be sealed to the frontier region. In that case, it is better to choose a place where you want to go.

Looking at Zhu Zhen's slightly excited expression, Zhu Zhen smiled: "I understand your thoughts." If you want to go to the Han Continent, you might as well ask the official family for a while. ”

"It's just today, but brother, I will definitely ask the official family." Zhu Zhen said.
