Chapter 247: Zheng Guogong Mansion

On the second day after Yang Ben and his entourage arrived in North Korea, Shanghu County and Songjiang Prefecture jointly requested the establishment of Qingpu County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Xi took a cursory look at it, approved the word 'quasi', and then asked the General Administration Department to send it to the temple supervisors of various ministries. The establishment of a new county has little to do with the central departments other than the household department, but it must be made known to them.

After approving a few more excerpts, Yun Xi looked at the inscriptions, and said to the auxiliary officers: "I have something to do today, and you should first prepare a note for the rest of the excerpts, and I have something to do now, and I will come back in the afternoon to answer these excerpts." ”

The four auxiliary officers all knew what Yunxi was going to do, and it was indeed time to go, so Zhang Wen, who was the leader, said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Yun Xi returned to the apse to change his clothes, and then left the palace with the guards without playing the emperor's honor guard.

Today is the first anniversary of the death of Chang Yuchun's wife, Chang's mother, and Yun Xi, as the emperor of the younger generation, should go to the Zhengguo Mansion to condole, not to mention that his mother is still Chang's mother's daughter. This is also the reason why the four auxiliary officials all approved of him going to the Zheng Guo Mansion.

And two of the four auxiliary generals will also go to the Zheng Guogong Mansion in the afternoon. As for the other two auxiliary officials who were born as civil officials, Chang's mother went to the Zheng Guogong Mansion to mourn when she died, and now it is the anniversary, so it is better not for them to have a general relationship with the Chang family.

After a while, Yun Xi came to Zheng Guogong's mansion by car. Although the people of the Chang family are all carrying filial piety, they are also collectively greeted at the gate.

Yun Xi got out of the carriage and helped Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, who were about to salute, and asked the guards to help them up after the next generation of Chang family knelt on the ground. Then he said to Chang Sheng: "Uncles have filial piety, and I am a junior, and today I have come to worship the late Mrs. Kaiping Wang, how can I accept this great gift." ”

He can now accept people who are not related to him to kneel in front of him, but he still can't accept his relatives that they always kneel to him, so every time they meet in private, they are asked to help.

Chang Sheng and Chang Sen brothers also knew, although Chang Sheng was only helped up after kneeling, but Chang Sen just made a gesture and got up.

However, Yun Xi of course noticed Chang Sen's performance, and he frowned imperceptibly. Speaking of which, although Yun Xi treats his subordinates more leniently, he does not allow them to take this for granted.

Chang Sen was helped up by Yun Xi or his guards a few times after he had just knelt down or before he knelt down, and he no longer knelt down seriously to Yun Xi, which made Yun Xi very unhappy. In his opinion, this is a nose kick in the face. And Chang Sen doesn't have much ability, all of them are eating the old books of the Chang family.

If he hadn't come to worship today, he would have let Chang Sen kneel on the ground until he woke up.

Yun Xi and Chang Sheng walked into the courtyard where Chang Mu was worshipped. Yun Xi bowed to Chang Mu's tablet, and then asked the guards to put everything he had brought for sacrifice on the altar.

Chang Sheng knelt aside, on behalf of the Chang family, to express his gratitude to Yun Xi for his worship. This is all traditional etiquette, and there is a lot of attention paid to in the process of salutation, but I won't say much about it.

At this point, the matter of worshipping Chang Mu has come to an end. But Yun Xi came to the Zheng Guogong Mansion once, although he was now the emperor, and he didn't plan to leave immediately.

Yun Xi next of course met with his relatives of the Zheng Guo Mansion one by one, although most of them were people he had met many times.

The first is, of course, Chang Mao's wife Feng. Yun Xi noticed that her complexion seemed to be better, and she no longer exactly described her withered appearance.

Yun Xi felt that this was because Chang Jifeng came to the Zheng Guo Mansion as Chang Mao's son, and Chang Jifeng did not have his biological mother to come to the Zheng Guo Mansion together, which gave her a new hope.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi glanced at Chang Jifeng's child who was standing aside. Yun Xi was afraid that it was the calculation of someone in the Chang family because Jinyiwei's investigation had not yet come to fruition, so he pretended not to care and reminded Chang Sheng twice not to hold the ceremony of Chang Jifeng's recognition of his ancestors and return to his ancestors so quickly.

But Chang Sheng recognized that Chang Jifeng was Chang Mao's son, and he said that he had to do it now. Yun Xi couldn't say that he suspected that they were deceived, so he had to let them go. And after holding the ceremony of Chang Jifeng's recognition of his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, he gave Chang Jifeng the position of hereditary commander. Of course, it must be a false position.

After that, Chang Sheng's wife Hu and Chang Sen's wife Wu came up to pay their respects. After that, it's the younger generation.

The first is Chang Jizong and his wife. Yun Xi glanced at Chang Jizong's wife, Li Tong.

Li Tong is Li Jinglong's younger sister, and Hongwu officially married Chang Jizong as his wife in the twenty-seventh year. Yun Xi played with Li Tong when he was a child, and they met when they were about ten years old.

Yun Xi couldn't remember what he had played with Li Tong at that time, but he made a note of his playmate.

But it's been too long, and Yun Xi just treats her as his cousin now.

Next, after Yun Xi met with all the Chang family members, he had lunch at the Chang family, and talked about some military matters with Chang Sheng, Chang Jizong and others, and then set off to return to the palace. When the people of the Chang family accompanied Yun Xi to eat, they naturally had to change into regular clothes.

But at the gate of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, Yun Xi met Li Tong's brother Li Jinglong.

Yun Xi looked at Li Jinglong's expression, and saw that he was not surprised to see Yun Xi at the gate of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, so he guessed that he had come to Zheng Guogong's Mansion to see Yun Xi.

Speaking of which, it has been more than three months since Yun Xi succeeded to the throne, and it has been more than a month since he officially went to the court, but the appointment of the three major military generals of the Ming Dynasty has not yet come out, even for the Chang family, it is only renamed Zheng Guogong, and there is no movement for the Li family and the Xu family.

Although Li Jinglong was a little arrogant, he also knew that his skills were not as good as Xu Huizu, and he was not as calm as Xu Huizu, so he came to see Yun Xi once, so as to prevent Yun Xi from forgetting Da Ming and their Cao Guogong family.

Of course, Yun Xi guessed Li Jinglong's purpose, but suddenly he was hesitant about how to use Chang, Xu, and Li, so he didn't have any appointments for them. Fortunately, many veterans of Daming are now there, and they are not conspicuous without them.

Li Jinglong saw Yun Xi bowed down and said, "Minister Li Jinglong has seen Your Majesty. ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "What is the matter with Cao Guogong coming to Zheng Guogong's mansion?" ”

Li Jinglong said: "Your Majesty, today is the anniversary of the death of Mrs. Xiankaiping Wang, I will come to pay respects." And the minister's sister married into the Chang family, and the minister also came to see her. ”

Yun Xi and Li Jinglong said a few more words, and Li Jinglong really secretly pointed out his purpose. Yun Xi didn't answer.

However, Li Jinglong should also know that Yun Xi will not answer. Although he can't fight, he still understands people's hearts.

Then Yun Xi went back to the palace. He's got a lot more to do!

Li Jinglong walked into the Zhengguo Mansion to worship Chang's mother. Receiving Li Jinglong is completely different from receiving Yunxi. Chang Sheng politely but somewhat casually welcomed Li Jinglong into the mansion.

After Li Jinglong finished worshipping Chang's mother, Chang's family joked with him. Chang Sen said: "Jiujiang, come quickly, meet the elders!" "Whether it is from Yunxi's side or Li Tong's side, Li Jinglong is a generation younger than Chang Sen, and Chang Sen often teases him with this.

Li Jinglong also knew this, and Chang Sen had also teased him with this a few times, so he was not angry, and said with a smile: "What kind of senior are you!" Younger than me! ”

Chang Sen teased him a few more words, and then stopped. Li Jinglong chatted with Chang Sheng, Chang Sen, and Chang Jizong for a while, and then said, "My sister still lives in Jingyun Courtyard, I'll go see my sister." ”

Chang Sen said with a smile: "As the saying goes, women are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, why do you patronize women and ignore brothers?" ”

Li Jinglong pretended to be angry and said, "This is the same thing! Besides, I was a senior just now, and now I'm a brother again? ”

Chang Sen said: "The brother I am talking about is not me and you, but my nephew Chang Jizong and you. ”

Chang Jizong was a little embarrassed. Speaking of which, he is Li Jinglong's brother-in-law, and he should have a relationship with Li Jinglong's peers; But his father has always been an equal friend of Li Jinglong, so every time he sees Li Jinglong, he doesn't know what to call him, so he has to call him a name.

Li Jinglong is the same, he can talk and laugh freely with Chang Sheng and Chang Sen brothers, but after getting along for the past four years, he doesn't know how to call Li Jinglong appropriately. Finally, avoid salutation.

Li Jinglong talked to Chang Sen a few more nonsense, and came to Jingyun Courtyard under the leadership of the servants of Zheng Guogong's Mansion.

Li Tong is taking care of the courtyard between her and Chang Jizong. The Chang family is also a big family, and although all kinds of rules are not perfect, they are all there. Although Li Tong doesn't care about the house, he is still housed by Chang Sheng's wife Hu, but Li Tong doesn't want his mother-in-law to interfere in the affairs of his own small yard, so he keeps a close eye on his small yard. There are contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law everywhere.

Whenever she did, she would think, 'If only I had married into a family without a mother-in-law.' ’

Today, Li Tong just sent down two subordinates who made mistakes, and Li Jinglong came in. He exchanged a few words with Li Tong and said, "Why are I so busy every time I see you?" Don't you have a housekeeper? Could it be that Hu Shi deliberately embarrassed you? ”

Li Tong shook his head and said, "No, my mother-in-law treats me well." ”

Li Jinglong, as a man in the outer house, has never cared about housework, and when he saw that his sister's expression was normal, he didn't continue to ask, and he didn't care about it.

He entered the back room, looked at his little nephew, and said, "Hua'er is very strong, I heard that it is very good to eat on weekdays?" It's good to be able to eat. ”

Li Tong heard him mention his son, and also smiled and said: "Well, Hua'er can eat and sleep very well, and I heard from people that he doesn't get up much at night." ”

Li Jinglong said: "Okay, well, it seems that this child is blessed." Although Li Jinglong has said such things every time he has come these times, Li Tong is still very happy to hear it.

After saying a few more words, Li Jinglong asked, "Is the emperor having dinner in the Zheng Guogong Mansion today?" What did he say? Although men and women don't eat at the same table, Yun Xi has always been not very formal when he comes to Zheng Guogong's Mansion to eat, and the table between men and women is just separated by a screen, and everything can be heard, so Li Jinglong asked.

Li Tong knew that her brother would definitely ask this question, although she was a little annoyed, but Li Jinglong was her own brother after all, so he said: "They didn't say anything, they just talked about things in the army, and they didn't say anything about the appointment and dismissal of military generals, only some interesting things in the army." ”

After saying these words, Li Tong said again today: "Big brother, why do you always ask what the emperor said in the Zheng Guogong Mansion? Our Li family has made countless meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, how can Your Majesty forget the eldest brother? ”

"And the military generals are different from the civil officials who play with the pen, they need real skills. Since the eldest brother has the ability and has won the praise of the first emperor, why worry? ”

Li Jinglong said: "Why am I not worried? Although our Li family is one of the three nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the Cao family, the Zhang family, the Geng family, and the Guo family behind are also not to be underestimated. ”

"What's more, the founding heroes of the three of them are still here, and our father has been working for more than ten years."

"Although I think I still have some ability, I can't compare with these founding heroes. And Zhang Shu, Guo Zhen, Cao Xing, and Cao Che brothers all have some skills, and they are familiar with the emperor, and the emperor is probably more willing to use them. ”

"If I don't work hard, our generation will be better, and there will always be old ones to eat; If I don't have to reuse it all the time, when the next generation comes, our Li family will really not be able to compare to them. ”

Li Tong said: "In this case, why doesn't the eldest brother take the initiative to ask for help?" Going to the field to train as an officer? ”

Li Jinglong said: "What do you know! The new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, and it is a time when there are many things in the court, and if he goes to other places and is not well-informed, then it is very likely to delay things. ”

Li Tong thought for a while and said, "Then how about being the king?" For example, please be the left king of Min and Qin. Now it will take a while for the closure of the country, and it will have to wait until the beginning of next year, right? ”

"At that time, there will be a lot less things in the court, right? You don't have to worry about delaying things. ”

"And the emperor should attach great importance to the matter of sealing the country, and it is easy to be noticed by the emperor."

Li Jinglong listened to Li Tong's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "What you said is good, please be the king is a good way." Then he thought about it and said a few words to Li Tong.

After a while, Li Jinglong finished thinking about it and sighed: "Hey! It's also annoying to always calculate and calculate like this! Then he seemed to just sigh casually: "If only you had married the emperor at the beginning, then now you are the queen, and I don't have to run so much for the future of the Li family, the emperor will naturally notice our Li family." ”

"Look at Xue Xiran, he was sent to Hangzhou to rectify the local guard, I heard that this is the emperor training him, if he does a good job, he will be appointed; Xue Ning also holds an important position in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, isn't this the light of the queen! ”

Li Tong's face changed and said, "What are you talking about!" Fortunately, there are only our brothers and sisters in the house, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay in Zheng Guogong's mansion! Then he looked at Ke Leak and said, "It's not too early, big brother, go back quickly." As he spoke, he called his subordinates in, and began to drive Li Jinglong out. Li Jinglong could only go out.

Li Tong didn't deliver it to the gate today, but he came back after delivering it to the second gate. Sitting alone in a chair, I didn't know what to think, and I didn't come to my senses until dinner time.
