"Chen Ji? He's coming," Yun Xi understood what Chen Jilai was doing after a little thought, turned his head to Zhu Youwei and said, "I'm afraid my brother won't be able to eat with you at noon." The elder brother asked the chef in the imperial dining room to cook a table of meals for you, and asked Yun Yun and Yun Zhi to accompany you to eat. ”

"Brother Huang, political affairs are important, and my younger brother naturally understands. The second sister is about to hold a wedding, and the two younger sisters are also very busy these days, and the younger brother still goes home to eat, so he doesn't bother the chef in the imperial dining room. Zhu Youstew said, and said with a smile: "Although my brother is hungry for the food in the palace, he can taste it again when he enters the palace in two days." ”

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when you enter the palace, my brother will ask the chef to cook a good meal for you to taste." Yun Xi patted him on the shoulder again and smiled.

……

……

"Chen Qing." Yun Xi walked into the Jinshen Palace, saw Chen Ji at a glance, and shouted.

"Minister, Caomin Chen Ji has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" Chen Ji hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Alas, why should Chen Qing be like this." Yun Xi stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "Although you are not an official now, but Zhishi is not dismissed, and you enjoy the former official status of Zhishi as usual. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ji didn't shirk it, thank you.

"Chen Qing entered the palace today to ask to see me, what is the matter?" Although Yun Xi had already guessed the purpose of his entry into the palace, he still asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, why did you order Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Ning Kingdom to be the vice principal of the Five Cities Academy?" Chen Ji really said as Yun Xi guessed.

"Chen Qing, although the Five Cities School is very famous, it is just a private school in the final analysis. I have also asked what private schools are like, and many of them are the wives of the husbands who teach. Since private schools in the private sector can have women, why can't the Five Cities School? Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty, the reason why private schools in the private sector are like this is that most of the restraints paid by the students are not enough for the teacher to hire someone to take care of the daily life; The bundle paid by each student of the Five Cities Academy is enough for more than a dozen households for a year, how can the person who was appointed by His Majesty as the vice principal of the Five Cities Academy care how much? ”

"And there are many private schools in the people where the sons or brothers of the gentlemen take care of their daily affairs, why doesn't Your Majesty follow such an example?" Chen Ji said.

"Chen Qing," Yun Xi pondered for a moment and decided to tell him part of the truth: "There are more than ten sect disciples in the Five Cities Academy, I believe that you dare to discipline them, but even if you order the secretaries to be treated equally, those secretaries can really be treated equally?" It is to order the princess of Ningguo to be the vice principal of the Five Cities Academy, and he is specially watching them, and he will be punished if he has a fault. ”

Although Yun Xi only said this one reason, it was enough, and Chen Ji couldn't say anything more. As for why he didn't appoint male clan disciples, Chen Ji was not stupid, how could he ask such a thing?

Now that this question is clear, Chen Ji has to bow and leave. But Yunxi kept him: "Chen Qing, it's noon at this time, so Aiqing will stay with me for lunch." ”

Chen Ji said a few words, and when he saw that Yunxi insisted on keeping him in the palace for dinner, he agreed.

After a while, the food was served, and the two of them sat down and began to eat.

"Chen Qing, these days you are the secretary of the Five Cities Academy, what difficulties have you encountered and things that are not easy to handle? If there is, tell me, and I will deal with it. Yun Xi roughly heard him talk about the situation of the Five Cities Academy, and asked again.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing." Chen Ji said: "The students of the academy are very respectful to the ministers, and even the children of the clan dare not disobey the ministers. It's just," he paused and continued, "Your Majesty suddenly ordered a field to be opened up in the Five Cities Academy a few days ago, is it to order the students to plant the land after school?" The students were talking about it. ”

"I ordered the people to open up a field in the Five Cities Academy, not for them to cultivate the land themselves, but for the farmers to plant it. I just want them to see with their own eyes how hard the farmer is ploughing the fields, to know how difficult the life of the peasants is, and to be able to take care of the hardships of the people if they become officials in the future. Yun Xi said.

From ancient times to the present, although there is only one emperor who said the phrase 'why not eat porridge', the emperor and the general royal family really have few clear concepts about how miserable the lives of the poor people are. They can only draw a vague impression from the reports of their subordinates, so it is not surprising that many emperors who have had large-scale uprisings during their tenure have used some stupid tricks at the beginning of the uprising.

Of course, Yoon-hee wants to change that. It is not realistic for all members of the ruling class to share the weal and butter of the poorest people, but it is also necessary to give them an intuitive impression of the lives of the poor people. Now that the aristocracy is also included in the category of the ruling class, it is natural that they must also undergo such an education.

"Chen Qing," Yun Xi said again, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot." I remember that when I was in Lanzhou a few years ago, I ordered your people to enter Beijing, and I have something to tell them, but now I can enter Beijing? ”

"Your Majesty, one of the minister's clansmen has entered Beijing on the ninth day of the second month, waiting for His Majesty's orders."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's a little late. ”

"Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's about farming." Yun Xi finished all the rice in the rice bowl in a few bites, and said to Chen Ji what he said in Heyanzhuang.

"Your Majesty is really, the minister doesn't know how to say this. If he thinks like this, if he is a minister, the minister must want His Majesty to recommend him as the secretary of the household department. Chen Ji said.

Yun Xi smiled smugly. However, Chen Ji immediately said: "Your Majesty, such a practice is very important in places like the north, Huguang, and Sichuan, where there are few people and many places, but Jiangnan has many people and narrow land, and in the opinion of the minister, it is not suitable to implement such a practice; If the surplus people are to be moved to places with few people, these many people will not be able to move in a short time. It is Yichen who believes that this practice should be practiced cautiously in Jiangnan. ”

"I know that, too. So I picked a few places to implement it first and see what the result is. As for how to arrange the surplus rural labor in the Jiangnan area in the future, we will talk about it at that time. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. When he returned, he told him this. ”

"Chen Qing, tell your clansmen that as long as he follows the new method of farming, I will give you three stones of rice per mu of land as a reward." Yun Xi said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ji agreed again.

After saying this, Yun Xi had nothing to say to Chen Ji, Chen Ji had been in the palace for a long time, and he wanted to rush back to the Five Cities Academy, so he asked Yun Xi for a gift, and Yun Xi agreed.

A few days later, the news that Princess Ning Guo was the vice principal of the Wucheng School spread, which attracted many ministers to impeach, but Yunxi only dismissed it on the grounds that 'the Wucheng School is a private school, not a court school, and is not subject to the laws of the imperial court'.

His attitude was so resolute that the civil officials could only stare dryly. If it were an ordinary woman, these civil servants could not tell how many things to arrange; But the princess of the royal family, is it because she thinks she has a long life? There is no other way for everyone to do this except to keep looking for all kinds of reasons that are common or not.

For these folds that were sent later, Yun Xi didn't look at them all. No matter how many things go up and down in the imperial court a day, there are always other things that come out to divert the hot spot, and this matter will slowly fade away.

And there's a big thing going on. Zhu Yunlan, the eldest princess of Zhongshan, is twenty-one years old this year, and according to the social atmosphere at this time, she is already an out-and-out leftover girl, and the self-proclaimed selfless Confucian minister has asked Her Royal Highness the princess to marry as soon as possible has been played several times.

Later, a person surnamed Ye was appointed as a colt, and everyone stopped. But he was immediately killed in the battle in Annam, and the princess guarded the widow. The emperor did not let the princess be widowed, and also launched a struggle against Cheng Zhu Lixue, and then Yang Feng, who had died of his wife, was appointed as a concubine.

This series of things is dazzling, and it is constantly discussed by the ministers and the people. Now that this matter is finally going to have a result, how everyone doesn't care; What's more, this is the first time that a princess has married during the Jianye years, which is even more worthy of attention.

And there was also a princess's wedding at the same time as the princess's wedding. This clan woman with the title of Anqiu County Lord has a special status, she is the daughter of the former King of Qi, and was once abolished as the county lord and exiled to Yunnan. But the last time the army conquered Annam, it was found that she followed the army as a military doctor to treat wounded soldiers. Because she treated the wounded the same regardless of her status, all the soldiers she treated were very grateful to her, and her reputation was excellent. In particular, she also treated the Yi soldiers equally, and the barbarian tribes who followed the army were very grateful to her.

Later, her concealment of her identity and the fact that she was a military doctor in the army was known to His Majesty, and His Majesty was grateful for what she had done, restored the title of county lord, and personally officiated for her wedding.

Of course, the discerning people in the court can see that the emperor is buying the hearts of the barbarians in the southwest. But this is not harmful to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they will not say much.

The wedding between Princess Zhongshan and Lord Anqiu has been held since the second day of the second month of February. The first is the Nacai Asking for Fame. The family who was selected as a horse/guest of honor prepared gifts and expressions at home, and bowed goodbye. The marriage envoy went to the inner east gate, and said in front of the envoy: "Yang Feng/......, the son of Yang Lingquan, the commander of the courtier, is the gift of the ancestors, and the envoy is invited to take it." "Kneel down to the envoy with the table. The inner envoy knelt and received it, and entered the inner temple, and the bearer of the goose and the gift followed him into the inner temple. The envoy came out, and the person in charge of the marriage said: "Will add a divination, and the envoy will ask for his name." The envoy then entered the palace with the letter and met with the emperor to ask for an edict. After the emperor selected the candidate, the envoy came out with the decree and said, "There is a system. "The one who holds the marriage kneels, and the envoy reads;" The second daughter of the first emperor and the sister of His Majesty today, she is the eldest princess of Zhongshan; His Majesty's cousin today, the county lord of Anqiu. "The man in charge of the marriage prostrates himself and takes the lead. He then entered the palace to meet the emperor, and the emperor gave him a banquet.

After that, Najib. Najib's etiquette is similar to that of Najib. The person in charge of the marriage said: "Add divination, occupy the auspicious, and I would like to make the ministers dare to ask for it." ”

The families of those who were selected as the horses/guests of honor prepared furniture, xuanqi, jade silk, riding horses, and expressions. The person in charge of the marriage said: "The court is in the command of Yang Feng/......, the son of Yang Lingquan, and there is a gift from the ancestors, and the envoys are bound with silk and horse. After that, it is a good day to choose a marriage: "The minister respectfully asks for an auspicious day, which is the ninth day of the third month." ”

After choosing the date of marriage, what you have to do after that is to wait for that day to get married.
