Chapter 92: Family (Second Update, Asking for Support)
When Fang Yizhi suffered from gains and losses in the next few days, Zhu Mingzhong, as the initiator, had already left Zhongdu by boat - before the summer, the royal family would go to the royal village in Haizhou, which is also the royal summer palace, to avoid the hottest months of the year by the sea, and in the next half month, the ministers of the court and the central government will also go to Haizhou, the royal village that cost millions of taels to build by the sea, there is enough place for them to live, which may also be for the benefit of the officials.
This kind of summer retreat is the first time for the Ming Dynasty, after all, for hundreds of years, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have often lived in the Forbidden City and never went out.
However, since the sentence "The Great Tomorrow is the only one", the Ming Dynasty and the opposition naturally know that Emperor Xingqian is different from any other emperor, and those civil servants also understand what is behind the decision of the Emperor.
Fuque and Shangshu had no meaning at all for Emperor Xingqian, so they could only follow the emperor's decision, and of course, they also did not exclude going to a place to avoid the heat when the heat came.
For the Chinese people of this era, summer vacation is still a fresh concept, but for Zhu Mingzhong, in this era without air conditioning and fans, how to spend the summer is something he has to think about, if it is in Nanjing or Beijing, he will choose to build a summer palace on the mountain, but in Qinghe, there is only one choice for the summer resort, which is the seaside.
Facing the sea in spring, the summer palace in Haizhou, a large royal palace, the palace is backed by mountains and facing the sea, different from the Chinese architectural style of the Zhongdu Imperial Palace, this summer palace is Western-style, the style of the whole rest is similar to the Versailles Palace that can be built after more than ten years, but its scale is larger, compared with the long construction period of the Versailles Palace, this summer palace only took three years, it has basically been completed, this year this is the first time that every midsummer to come here to escape the summer, listen to the government, deal with military and political affairs.
Of course, it is only the main body of the palace that is completed, and the interior decoration will take a long time to complete, but unlike the Palace of Versailles, there are nearly 100 villas scattered along the coastline of the summer palace for several miles, which face the sea and are hidden in the gardens by the sea.
Standing in front of the corridor and looking into the distance, the sea is sparkling, the sails are dotted, and the scenery in front of you can be described as beautiful. Feeling the coolness of the sea breeze, the corners of Zhu Mingzhong's lips raised slightly, and he looked at the thermometer, but it was only thirty degrees, and the temperature would be low at night.
"Compared to Zhongdu, it's cool here."
Indeed, compared to the sultry heat of the city, the royal village located by the sea always blows the sea breeze, which is why Zhu Mingzhong chose to build the royal village by the sea.
"It's just that the sea is a little muddy......"
The reason why there is such an exclamation is because of the influence of the Yellow River, but as the Yellow River returns to its original path, the Huai River enters the sea along the old road again, the sea water here will become more and more blue, and of course, the natural environment of the two Huai will also be fundamentally changed.
Both sides of the Huai River will once again become the land of fish and rice.
"Say Fengyang, Dao Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place, since Emperor Zhu came out, there have been nine years of famine in ten years."
Thinking of the so-called "flower drum opera" in later generations, in fact, the nine-year famine is not only a Fengyang, but also what does it have to do with Emperor Zhu, the reason why there are nine years of famine in ten years in Lianghuai is because the Yellow River seized Huai, as long as this problem is solved, the harsh ecological environment of Lianghuai will definitely be fundamentally improved.
"Father, can you take me and my brother to the sea together?"
Suddenly, his son's shout brought Zhu Mingzhong back to his senses, he looked back at Zhu Hejia with his younger brothers and sisters, looking at him with anticipation, and they had even changed into sailor uniforms - Daming's sailor uniform was designed by Zhu Mingzhong from the sailor uniforms of later generations.
"Hejia, Heyu, Yuxin, Yuting, you all want to go."
Looking at the children, not to mention the desperate nodding of a few of them, even He Yuan and He Kui, a few little children who were only more than two years old, also nodded desperately, they had never seen the sea.
This is the first time they have come to the beach, they are just playing in the sand, and they naturally want to go to the sea, and when they see a small sailboat leaning on the trestle, after learning that it is their "own" boat, there will be thoughts of not wanting to go to sea.
"Let's go, let's go to sea together!"
Although the sailing yacht with a length of more than ten fathoms is Zhu Mingzhong's private yacht, he does not know how to sail, and he has to rely on sailors, and this also makes him want to learn to sail with his son.
And Zhu Mingzhong also enjoyed this rare good time, and after sailing away from the offshore sea, the originally turbid sea water slowly turned blue, looking at the blue jewel-like water, Zhu Mingzhong suddenly had the idea of swimming.
After this thought surfaced, Zhu Mingzhong, who had taken off his shirt, said to Hejia and them while his sons were still standing on the side of the boat in a daze.
"Do you want to swim? If you want to, jump in! ”
Without even waiting for Zhu Hejia to answer, he had already picked up Zhu Hejia and threw him into the sea, and then Heyu,
Seeing that his father threw his brothers into the sea, the two little ones below realized what was going to happen. Zhu Heyuan cried loudly at the top of his throat. Zhu Hekui on the side glanced at his brother, and he also cried unconsciously.
Seeing this, His Majesty, who had already jumped into the sea, Zheng Ling couldn't help squatting down when he looked at them, wiped the tears hanging on the child's face, and then asked softly.
"What's wrong?"
"Father, throw all my brothers into the sea, I, I don't want to go down."
Zhu Hekui pointed to his brothers who were floating with the waves in the sea and choked up.
"Father is playing with them, you can also go down to play, it is very fun to play in the sea."
Zheng Ling said, smiled and took his hand to meet the sea breeze, looked at a warship sailing in the distance, looked at the white sail, and then lowered his head and asked.
"Do you like big ships at sea?"
"I like it."
The two dolls said in unison.
When Zheng Ling heard this, he smiled and nodded, as if answering a child, and as if talking to himself.
"It's good to like it. Remember, one day, you too will go to the other side of the sea in a big ship, and then your feudal kingdom will be in front of your ship and under your feet! ”
As a mother, Zheng Ling had already learned from Zhu Mingzhong that in the future, their sons would be divided even further, and they would be divided to the southern continent and the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The prince was born at the age of eighteen!
This means that more than ten years later, these children will go to their feudal country and use the knife and gun in his hand to open up their country and their territory.
Thinking of this, her eyes drooped slightly, and her expression was full of reluctance, and Shi Zhao, who was holding her daughter and watching His Majesty in the sea playing with the prince and son, saw Zheng Ling's appearance, and quietly walked to her side and said.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Even now, even if Zheng Ling is the queen, the two of them are still called sisters, no matter how many concubines there are in the palace, there are only two of them in the harem, just like now, they are the only ones who can go to sea with the emperor.
"It's nothing, it's just, watching their father and son play so happily, suddenly feeling ......"
Turning his head to look at Shi Zhao and looking at Yu Xin in her arms, Zheng Ling couldn't help pinching her face, and then said with a smile.
"It's better to be a daughter, at least...... Your daughter will always be there for you. ”
But as soon as the words came out, Zheng Ling regretted it, at least, He Jia will always be by her side in the future, of course, he also needs to move to Jingshi at the age of 18. And when Heyu grows up, he wants to go to the country.
"Sister ......"
Just as he was about to explain, Shi Zhao just smiled slightly, and then said.
"Sister, according to the royal rules, Heyu must stay in Nanjing all the time, and the Fengguo will have ministers in the country to take care of him, and Nanjing will be closer to the central capital."
Since the eldest son of the royal family is the crown prince, and the second son is ...... is a reserve, even if there is a feudal state, it can only be represented by a retainer, and even because of this, unlike all princes, as the second son of Heyu, you need to go out of the palace to open a mansion at the age of 12 to prepare for the future retainers to town. Only after the eldest son of the crown prince is born and the opening ceremony is performed, can he personally enter the country. In other words, Zhu Heyu, as the second prince, is "insurance", the insurance of the throne.
"After all, we still have to ...... the country"
Shi Zhao sighed, looked at Zhu Mingzhong who was playing with his son, and said.
"I've never seen him so ruthless, earlier I said to leave some place in Nanyang, even if you want to seal the children out, don't seal it so far, but he ......"
Referring to the dispute with His Majesty on this issue at that time, Zheng Ling's heart was angry.
"But he wants to seal the children tens of thousands of miles away, and what else do you say, you can't let the world think that the royal seal is selfish......"
Zheng Ling's complaint made Shi Zhao smile slightly, but there was inevitably some bitterness in the smile, when she held her daughter in her arms, she looked at her son who was playing in the sea, and she didn't know that maybe more than 20 years later, after the emperor Sun Xing opened his pen, Heyu would be far away from the territory, and from then on, he might never see his son again.
How can you be willing to be a mother.
But...... For him, that may be the best thing, after all, at that time, he was the king of a country, even if it was only a prince's country, and he was also a king, not a minister. Just like her real brother, at least...... There, they are all kings!
When my father saw all this, he should be dumbfounded!
In their imaginations, the innocent laughter of children echoes across the sea, for these children, perhaps, they will never know the troubles of adults......
