Although in the last years of Chongzhen, when the Liukou rebelled and the Qing captives entered the Kou, tens of thousands of children of the clans in the north and south of the river were either killed by the Liukou or killed by the Qing captives, and the living can be said to be non-existent, but even so, there are still hundreds of people in the Nanjing royal family, including both vassal kings and county kings, and there are countless generals.

However, for the placement of these vassal princes, the attitude of the imperial court or the emperor himself is extremely ambiguous, on the one hand, it is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty to seal the country, and on the other hand, the incompetence of the vassal princes at the end of the Ming Dynasty is also well known. But this incompetence is also due to the "tradition" of the Ming Dynasty - although the vassal king said that he was in power, since Yongle, he neither led troops nor territory, so naturally in times of chaos, he could not defend the royal family.

For the clansmen of the Ming Dynasty, after twenty years of displacement, on the one hand, they longed for stability, and they agreed with satisfaction to the imperial court's move to settle them in Nanjing, but deep down they also longed for the country, after all, although in the palace of Nanjing, compared with the life of their ancestors after the country, there was a little more freedom, but people always had some other desires.

It's just that most of these relatives understand that when the emperor does not have a clear attitude, they can't take the initiative to ask for the country, after all, after Emperor Xiaolie, the performance of the clans is indeed extremely disappointing, not only disappointing the world, but also the emperor himself is extremely disappointed.

Because of this, this matter has been put on hold. And in the first month of the third year of Xinglong, again, this long-shelved issue was put in front of people.

Guiwang Zhu Cixuan enters Beijing!

For the Ming Dynasty, King Gui is a very special existence, after all, although King Gui is only one of the many relatives of the Ming Dynasty, but because the Yongli Emperor is from King Gui, and Zhu Cixuan is the son of Yongli and the former prince of the Yongli Dynasty, his identity is extremely sensitive.

For the Xingqian Dynasty, Zhu Cixuan was a hidden danger to a certain extent, and because of this, for the past two years and two months, he has been in Beijing for his father's system, Yongli was buried in the imperial mausoleum in Beijing, the imperial court not only built the imperial mausoleum for him, but also for Hongguang and Longwu.

Guarding is not permanent, and there is always a problem to face in the end. It's just that no one thought that just when people seemed to forget Zhu Cixuan, an edict from the imperial court made him enter everyone's sight again.

It made this originally seemingly calm Jingshi surging again, after all, the identity of that King Gui was too sensitive, why would the emperor edict him to Jingshi at this time?

Of course, no one would think that His Majesty might kill Zhu Cixuan, after all, there is a well-known secret in the Jingshi about the Jin Domain's failure to enter the dynasty so far - the Jin Domain wants to keep Zhu Cixuan safe, and with the strong Domain as a guarantee, King Gui's life is naturally not worried.

Could it be that the emperor wants Zhu Cixuan to go to the country?

For those clans in Nanjing, the news of Zhu Cixuan's entry into Beijing made them see hope and hope for the country, and they vaguely felt that His Majesty was very likely to let Zhu Cixuan go to the country, after all, he could not always keep the system in Beijing, compared to Nanjing, Guangxi ...... It's remote enough.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to go to the country.

While the clansmen in Nanjing were waiting with great anticrity for His Majesty's placement of King Gui, in the imperial palace of Zhongdu, Zhu Mingzhong was sitting on the dragon chair, quietly listening to a young woman dressed in palace clothes, reading congratulatory messages from various state capitals. Of course, these congratulatory reports are probably words like "Ruixue Zhaofeng Year", although Zhu Mingzhong doesn't like any auspicious rui, but at this moment, listening to the twists and turns from all over the place, listening to the local wind and rain, it seems that the coming year must be a bumper harvest year, Zhu Mingzhong's heart will still be filled with an indescribable sense of pride, after all, this is his world.

Moreover, the Chinese people are the best at controlling words, and the simple and boring content is described by the pen of those scholars who have read poetry and books, which naturally makes people listen to it with relish. After listening to more than a dozen excerpts, Zhu Mingzhong smiled and nodded and said.

"Alright, here it is. If I listen to it again, I will really be carried away by their praise, I don't know the east and west, the north and the south, I really think it is a prosperous era. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ning Yunting respectfully apologized to His Majesty, and then packed up the rest of the folds. At this time, I listened to another female official in Chinese clothes at the right time.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, my Ming Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous, and now it is the country and the people, this prosperous word is not a kind of indiscriminate boasting."

"Shengshi? How can there be a real prosperity in this world? The so-called prosperous era, in fact, is often the common people have clothes and food, but the more at this time, the easier it is to have something, throughout the history books, after the so-called prosperous era, it must be the decline of the dynasty. Compared with the so-called "prosperous age", I would rather hear the dangerous words of the prosperous world. Although the prosperous era makes the emperor happy, he can listen to the alarmist words and warn the future generations, so as to establish the cause of eternity! ”

Zhu Mingzhong waved his hand and shook his head.

Whether it was or is now, there is no shortage of flatterers around him. However, after becoming the emperor, Zhu Mingzhong found himself completely submerged in singing praises of virtue. Although he repeatedly reminded his subordinates not to blindly flatter. However, almost every day, words such as "Your Majesty is wise" are still inadvertently brought out by ministers. It seems that without saying these words, they don't know how to speak, and of course, this is also "etiquette".

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Mingzhong's words fell, the female official in Chinese clothes over there immediately praised him,

"Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty always cares about the people of the world, which is really a blessing for my Ming subjects. ”

This is another ordinary compliment, and when it comes out of the mouth of the female official in front of him, it is neither flattering nor flattering.

However, I don't know how many emperors lost themselves in such compliments. Zhu Mingzhong, who knew many things and could not change them in a moment, just sighed secretly, and then looked at Li Zixin and said.

"Li Siji, your mouth is always as flattering as if you have touched honey."

Si Ji is the position of a female court official, and now that Zhu Mingzhong says this, it is inevitable that there will be some ridicule.

"The minister's clumsy mouth made His Majesty laugh."

The female official was ridiculed by His Majesty like this, and she couldn't help but blush. Seeing her so gentle and lovely appearance, anyone who sees her will have a different thought in their hearts. Although female officials are not the first choice for appearance, whether it is Yu Yunting or Li Zixin, they are rare beauties, and they are so cute and intelligent, they are indeed loved by others.

Despite the admiration in his eyes, Zhu Mingzhong did not show possessiveness.

Although this court lady was "recruited", in fact, she was also subject to strict selection like a draft girl. Being a court lady can not only get the title that only "Mrs. Decree" can have in the past, but also accompany the king for a long time, and if you are fortunate enough to be named a concubine by the emperor, you can glorify the lintel. Even if you can't be a concubine, if you can get Your Majesty and trust, you will also wait until you reach the high branches. Even in the eyes of some flattering officials, if they can send their daughters and nieces to His Majesty, they will naturally be able to find out the news from the palace, so that they can figure out the holy will.

Because of this, there are a large number of women who apply, and the admission conditions are naturally relatively harsh. However, for these celebrities and talented women, it is said that the assessment content such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting cannot stump them. What really embarrassed them was the rule that His Majesty had personally issued - no foot binding.

Yes, no foot binding!

Although the Ming Dynasty's foot binding was only to wrap the feet a little tighter with strips of cloth, like the effect of pointed-toe shoes in later generations. Unlike in the Manchu Dynasty, in order to pursue the effect of the so-called three-inch golden lotus, he did not hesitate to break his foot bones. But that bondage is still bondage.

Zhu Mingzhong was extremely disgusted with the bad habit of foot binding from the bottom of his heart, although he knew that the foot binding of the Ming Dynasty was not the deformed little feet of the Manchu Dynasty, but in order to avoid the morbid aesthetics of "three-inch golden lotus", he always had the idea of abolishing this bad habit.

But letting go is easier said than done. In particular, one of the characteristics that distinguishes the Manchu Qing from Han women is that they do not bind their feet. Therefore, to a certain extent, there is even a Han Chinese tradition in foot binding, and relying only on a piece of paper will not only have resistance, but also abolish this bad habit, which cannot be done by relying on a piece of paper alone.

First of all, it is necessary to correct the aesthetic concept from the concept. Since in history the foot-binding came from the court, then the foot-binding should start from the court first. Only the noblewomen of the upper echelons are willing to let go, and the people will naturally follow. And those eunuchs and gentry figured out the holy will, and they let their daughters put their feet down, just to be eligible to participate in the selection of female officials.

Of course, after the foot, socks also became popular, these socks are different from the socks sewn from cloth in the old days, but are woven with handmade silk machines imported from Europe for knitting stockings and cotton socks, and fine stockings have also conquered the women of this era, just like these female officials, if nothing else, they should wear stockings, after all, there is heating in the palace.

Thinking of the beautiful legs wrapped in stockings under the palace clothes, Zhu Mingzhong's heart couldn't help but be confused, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Zixin's body, her height was 1.75 meters, which was a standard long leg...... Feeling His Majesty's gaze, Li Zixin's mind couldn't help but be confused, and she accidentally dropped a book on the ground when she was cleaning up. "Your Majesty forgives ...... sins"

In the morning of Li Zixin's panicked confession, Zhu Mingzhong saw the seal on the fold at a glance.

"Is this an excerpt there?"

Regarding Li Zixin's plea, Zhu Mingzhong didn't care about it, and said to her.

"You get up first. Give this recital to me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Zixin hurriedly got up and flipped through the folds, and then said.

"Your Majesty, it's an excerpt from the South Heavenly Gate."
