Volume 2 Chapter 176 The Celebrant of Ceremonies
After lunch at the palace, the two princes and their princesses took their leave. Zhu Di went to the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to rest, and wanted to take a nap for a while, but he temporarily remembered something that he hadn't done, so he asked someone to find a few eunuchs.
Zhu Di has just taken control of the huge Ming Dynasty, and there are endless things to do every day. He can only hide all his emotions in his heart and do it one by one according to the method he has imagined.
After a while, the eight eunuchs whose names were named all came to the Dongnuan Pavilion.
Zhu Di glanced twice, and everyone came.
are all eunuchs, including Yunnan Zheng He (formerly known as Ma He) and Bao'er (formerly known as Li Qian); Hu Ren Yunxiang (formerly known as Brother Meng), Tian Jiahe (formerly known as Harbini Tiemu); There are also Jurchen Wang An (formerly known as Buhuadu), Meng Ji (formerly known as Tian'er), a dog originally named Wang Yan, and Hou Xian.
It turned out that there were more than eight eunuchs in the Yanwang Mansion, and now Zhu Di values these eight the most, because they all fought hard in the "Battle of Jingjing". Like that dog, he takes the lead in every siege and is not afraid of death at all.
At this time, Zhu Di spoke: "According to the original court system, the eunuchs in the palace are in charge of the ministry. I think it's very inconvenient to let the outer court manage the internal officials, so you go and build a yamen, called the celebrant eunuch, and help me manage the eunuchs in the palace in the future. ”
The people prayed and said, "Slaves and maids obey the command." ”
Zhu Di pointed at Zheng He again and said: "You are the master of ceremonies and eunuchs, and Hou Xian is the young eunuch." You all add it up, all eight of them will be officials in the celebrant eunuch, and in the future, don't let the officials interfere in the affairs of the eunuchs in the palace. ”
Zheng He and Hou Xian knelt down and bowed: "Slaves and maids wait for Emperor Longen!" ”
Zhu Di thought for a while, and then asked: "Zheng He, Hou Xian, you are all on the side for lunch today, tell me who is better Gao Chi or Gao Xu." ”
"This ......" Zheng He and Hou Xian looked at each other.
Zheng He said: "The two princes are the princes of the emperor, and the slaves and maids are good to look at." ”
Hou Xian also hurriedly agreed: "What Gonggong Zheng said is true. ”
"This morning, an official impeached Gao Xu for wearing the prince's clothes, and I guess what the official meant, he wanted to urge me to divide the princes." Zhu Di said, "There are no outsiders here, who do you think is better to be the prince?" ”
Zheng He was startled and hurriedly kowtowed, and the other eunuchs also hurriedly lowered their bodies. Zheng He said: "At that time, the slave maid was also in Fengtianmen, impeaching the king of Gaoyang County, and the servant of the Hanlin Academy read Xie Jin, but the slave and maid didn't expect Xie Jin to have this meaning. The emperor is like the sun, and the slave and maid didn't even think of those things. I didn't think about it, so I didn't know how to answer, and asked the emperor to confess. ”
Hou Xian was more direct and said: "The slaves and maids are just domestic slaves serving the emperor, and they don't dare to say such a big thing. ”
"That's it!" Zhu Di waved his hand.
"Slaves and maids wait for thanksgiving, and retire."
…… Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei had already returned to the palace, and she asked Wang Gui to move all the gifts from the emperor and empress to the treasury and put them away, and then register them.
If there is a living creature in the gift, it must not be moved to the storehouse, or it will starve to death in a few days. It was a multicolored parrot, and the parrot was jumping around in the cage without calling, looking at the people outside the cage.
"The queen mother rewarded the concubine." Guo Wei said softly.
So Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to bring the parrot to Guo Wei's new room and put it in the hall outside the bedroom.
Zhu Gaoxu walked into the new house, stretched out his finger to tease the parrot, and saw Guo Wei's eyes red, so he asked, "Wei'er cried?" Why did the Queen Mother give you a parrot? ”
Guo Wei glanced at the palace maids next to her, the two palace maids were also sent by the queen, and they were very eye-catching, so they went out immediately.
Guo Wei said softly: "The princess knew that I knew Lian Ying's daughter, but she said how Miss Lian was insulted by the sergeant, how she died and was eaten by vicious dogs, I felt that Miss Lian was so pitiful and miserable, I couldn't help crying."
At this time, the queen mother entered the Kunning Palace, and I saw the little aunt hand me a look and shook my head, so I guessed what the little aunt meant, and the queen mother would be unhappy when she heard this, so she quickly changed her words and said that the parrot at home died and was sad. So the queen mother rewarded a parrot, and said that it was a parrot from the Western Regions sent by a general named Song Sheng. ”
"The princess is a scheming girl! She must have done it on purpose, that Lian Ying wanted to assassinate her father, and the whole family was unlucky. Even the girl was implicated, so miserable, this is the punishment of the father's decree. The queen mother knows everything. Zhu Gaoxu said a little angrily, "If Wei'er said in front of her mother how miserable the girl of the Lian family is, how can you sympathize with her, then you blame the father for doing something wrong?" Can the queen be happy? ”
Guo Wei stared at Zhu Gaoxu with bright big eyes, and nodded with a pale face.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "This scheming girl doesn't give me face!" I just got married, and the first time my daughter-in-law saw her, she dug a hole for you, which was too much. You must be careful with her in the future, and it is best to meet and talk to her less. Vile is probably no match for her. ”
Guo Wei looked timid and said: "I didn't expect the palace to be so terrible, I didn't offend her, she is still my sister-in-law, and she wants to harm me!" blame me for being too stupid, I don't know anything, and I even bother the prince. ”
"No, no, Wei'er is already very witty, otherwise, she will definitely go into the pit! A fourteen-year-old girl can make a scheming woman like Zhang fall into the air, Wei'er is very good. Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.
Guo Wei said: "The prince treats me leniently, thank the prince." I really didn't expect there to be so many things inside, but luckily my aunt reminded me. I think the sister-in-law is bad, and the sister-in-law is good. ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wei'er doesn't need to thank me, you and I are one husband and wife." My aunt is good to you, just remember it, and be good to her. ”
"Well, I'll remember my aunt." Guo Wei said softly.
Zhu Gaoxu took two steps back and forth, and said: "The Zhang family can't be said to be bad, but he has a lot of eyes." She didn't bully you for no reason, just because her husband and I were fighting for the crown prince.
I didn't want to fight, and I couldn't fight anyway; But there are people in the court who support me as the crown prince, so there is naturally a contradiction with the prince's mansion. This contradiction can't be resolved, it's not just a matter of saying a few good words and getting along well, Wei'er doesn't have to blame herself. ”
"It's terrible...... Guo Wei said in a trembling voice.
On the first day she entered the door, she could see that she was very happy and happy, but on the third day, there was no smile on her face. Zhu Gaoxu saw that he was powerless.
He couldn't make the people close to him happy all the time, he just wanted them to be safe...... However, if it continues to develop like this, Zhu Gaoxu's entire family will die! Not to mention people with foreign surnames like Guo Wei, even Zhu Gaoxu's future children and the people of the Zhu family, no matter how big or young, will die!
The feeling of ice and fire surged into Zhu Gaoxu's heart again, he cared about the people close to him on the one hand, and was full of anger on the other hand, and said in his heart: If you want Lao Tzu's whole family to die, Lao Tzu will not let you have a good time!
Zhu Gaoxu's steps became faster and faster, and he said in a deep voice: "Come and don't be rude, I have made it very clear that I will not fight with you, since you are like this first, then it would be too polite if I didn't return the respect!" ”
Seeing Guo Wei's worried face, he hurriedly eased his tone and said gently: "Wei'er, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”
"Lord Wang......" Guo Wei took the initiative to grab Zhu Gaoxu's hand and grasped it very hard.
Guo Wei looked uneasy, and said worriedly: "The princess is so terrible, what should my sister do?" Father and mother have agreed that they have promised the queen that they will marry their sister to the prince as the second concubine. After my sister passes through the door, can she be the opponent of the princess? ”
Zhu Gaoxu was speechless, seeing that Guo Wei must have rarely seen conspiracy like this, and it was estimated that her sister would not be much better. He said helplessly: "No way, the father-in-law and mother-in-law have already promised the queen mother, can you regret it?" The queen mother is the queen! Besides, I have to guess that letting your sisters marry into the Shizifu and Gaoyang Wangfu respectively is not the intention of the queen mother at all, but the holy decree of the father! ”
"Why?" Guo Wei immediately asked.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The Guo family is the Marquis of Wuding, even if the old Marquis dies, there are more than a dozen sons who are officials in the court, and the relationship between the court and the court is intertwined, and the father and emperor also intend to win over the Marquis of Wuding."
Even if the Guo family is not as thin as before, the camel is bigger than the horse, which is not a small force. My father didn't want to let any of our brothers have more power because of the marriage. If the Guo family is related to both sides, no matter how there is a way out, the position should be nothing to do with themselves. ”
Guo Wei looked weak: "So that's the case." My sister and I were thinking too simply......"
Zhu Gaoxu persuaded with good words: "One of your sisters must marry the prince's mansion, if it is not your sister, then it must be you." It's good that Wei'er feels sorry for your sister, but she also has to be glad that you didn't go by yourself. ”
"I'd rather go and ...... myself" Guo Wei said weakly, but suddenly came back to her senses and said busily, "I don't think it's bad to marry my husband, but I want to suffer that myself, and I was already prepared for this." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled, looking at Guo Wei's expression, it seemed that she was not pretending.
Guo Wei looked up at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "The prince doesn't know, my sister definitely doesn't like the son." Today's lunch, I thought so when I saw the son, it was too ...... It's a little fat. ”
"In Royal, there are many problems, but fat is not a problem." Zhu Gaoxu said quietly, "If you want to talk about my eldest brother, he is okay, and he attaches great importance to family affection." As the second concubine of the world, the biggest problem is the princess Zhang! ”
Guo Wei sighed and said, "My sister is the same as me, she thinks very simply. She neither likes people like Shizi, nor does she like majestic warriors like the prince who leads troops to fight. Sister looks down on Wufu, she only likes to read people, the kind that is tall and thin and thin. ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "In this case, even if Wei'er sacrifices herself, your sister will not be satisfied, then you will sacrifice in vain." If there is no way, how can things in the world be easily done? Who called you the women of the Marquis of Wuding? ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Scheming girl! Scheming girl! Scheming ......"
Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback, turned his head and saw that it was the parrot. It didn't call all the time, and suddenly it started to chatter, which scared Zhu Gaoxu coldly.
