Chapter 556: Offering a Daughter
In the evening, Yun Xi returned to Xingzai and gave Yun Zhi some novelties she had bought from Beishi to calm her upset that she was a little unhappy because she couldn't go to the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yun Zhi's mood quickly subsided. She wasn't really upset in the first place, she was just joking with Yoon-hee; Yun Xi actually knows it, but it's also fun to tease her little sister, so she cooperates.
Yun Zhi played with the novelty in her hand and said, "Brother Huang, will you leave Shanghai tomorrow?" Hurry up and go to Hangzhou, you can't go out in Shanghai. ”
Yun Xi didn't care about her suspicion of 'interfering in politics', and said with a smile: "Not tomorrow." There are still many family members of the rest of Zhang Shicheng in Shanghu County, and in order to appease their dissatisfaction with the imperial court, I will go to comfort them tomorrow. ”
"But it's just a formality, one hour is enough, clean up in the afternoon, and you can leave for Hangzhou the day after tomorrow."
But Yun Zhi didn't know what to think, and suddenly said: "Brother Huang, since that's the case, let my sister go and comfort me tomorrow." ”
She preemptively said before Yun Xi spoke: "Imperial brother, it is inconvenient for the imperial brother to comfort his daughter's relatives as a man, and my sister remembers that my mother said that my grandmother (Queen Ma) had comforted the family of the soldiers when my grandfather was the emperor, so it will be better to have a clan woman to comfort her tomorrow; But now the royal brother didn't bring his sister-in-law out this time, so the younger sister took on the responsibility of comforting them. ”
Yun Xi thought about it for a while, not to mention, although Yun Zhi's final conclusion was quite crooked, the principles used in the derivation were not all crooked. It was not convenient for the emperor to comfort his family, and Empress Ma did comfort the soldiers' families many times. But
"There has never been a precedent for a princess to be comforted, and I am afraid that the ministers above the court will be impeached." Yun Xi said.
"Hasn't it been since my sister?" Yun Zhi said.
Yun Xi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Actually, you just want to use this as an excuse to go out for a spin." His words pierced Yun Zhi's true purpose.
However, Yun Xi didn't look at Yun Zhi's instantly red face, and then said: "What you said makes sense, it's really more convenient to take you there." However, you can't use the name of consolation, just follow the imperial brother to play in the city of Shanghai in the past, and just proclaim consolation by the way. ”
"So, did the imperial brother agree?" Yun Zhi hurriedly said.
"Well, agreed. And in order to further show that your original intention was not to preach comfort, Brother Wei also took Baoqing and Xianqin with him. Yun Xi said.
The Confucian culture that has developed to the present is so weird, the imperial concubine can comfort the military family, but the princess cannot; And the princess going out to play is more acceptable to them than comforting the military family.
Reform of the tradition is not an overnight thing, and Yun Xi can only advance slowly, and he doesn't dare to take too big steps, so now he can only partially follow them. However, he has already set a timetable and is waiting for the most necessary things to be done, and the preliminary preparations are completed, and large-scale reforms will be carried out.
……
……
Early the next morning, Yun Xi used the complete emperor's honor guard to go to Shanghai and go to the place where the family members of Zhang Shicheng's old troops who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of last year lived to comfort them.
Yun Xi originally just wanted to go through the motions and just say a few words and leave, but something happened here that made him dumbfounded.
Yun Xi said: "......, if the guard here treats you slowly or favoritly, you can tell me that I will definitely uphold justice for you." ”
A man in his fifties, with gray hair growing on his sideburns, said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, the generals of the guard have no intention of slacking off on the grass people and others, and all the grass people and others that the soldiers of the guard have also. ”
"The grass people and others followed Zhang Shicheng to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and after Zhang Shicheng was defeated, he refused to surrender, which was already a crime and deserved death, fortunately, His Majesty allowed the grass people and others to return to the Ming Dynasty to serve the Ming Dynasty, and the grass people and others were grateful."
"There is a daughter among the grass people and others, the sister of Li Jiqian, who was in charge of the grass people and others when they were floating on the sea, she is seventeen years old, and she is grateful for Your Majesty's kindness to the grass people and others, and is willing to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will accept the loyalty of the grass people and others to the Ming Dynasty. The old man knelt down and said.
After the old man finished speaking, a woman kneeling not far away raised her head and said, "Your Majesty will repay the great kindness of the grass people and others, and the people are willing to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty." ”
Yun Xi was stunned. Shouldn't today's script be for him to comfort these Zhang Shicheng's old departments, they are grateful to Dade, and they can get enough supplies to avoid lack for a while? How did it come to this?
Then Yun Xi began to assess the impact of this incident: first, for these Zhang Shicheng's old departments, paying tribute to the girl into the palace, if this girl can get a man and half a woman and be crowned as a concubine, it is naturally a great thing, and then the local guards will not dare to treat them harshly, and they will be easier to integrate into the Ming military; Even if this woman is not favored, it is just a woman, which is not a big loss.
Second, at the same time, these people also expressed their deference to the Ming court and expressed their intention to actively integrate into the Ming Dynasty.
Third, this woman is Li Jiqian's sister, Li Jiqian's person Yun Xi also knows that he is their original leader, has some skills and loves his sister very much, Yun Xi accepts his sister to ensure his loyalty.
Of course, the most important point is that this little girl is very beautiful and has a good figure, and Yun Xi has been a vegetarian for more than a month since he left the palace - as a principled emperor, he will not easily sleep with the palace maid next to him, and he is a little nervous when he sees such a beautiful girl, and he is unwilling to let go.
Yun Xi then said: "Since this is the case, I will accept her into the palace as a palace maid." ”
"Grass people, thank you, Your Majesty Longen." The old man said excitedly. Not only him, but everyone present said excitedly: "The grass people and others thank Your Majesty Longen." ”
Yun Xi could only say to them: "I am here to comfort today, you don't have to be so polite. ”
Until the way back, Yun Xi still felt a little strange, sitting in the car and not knowing what to think. Yun Zhi said to him with a smile: "Brother Huang, I have also seen this woman, she is indeed very beautiful, her name is Li Sha'er, she will probably become my sister's sister-in-law before returning to Beijing." ”
Yun Xi didn't say anything in the face of his sister's move. What can he say? It's not appropriate to say anything. In order to change the topic, Yun Xi said to the guards outside the car, "Call Baoqing and Xianqin to come over." ”
But unexpectedly, Li Bo showed an extremely frightened look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Baoqing has just been a little frightened. ”
"What? How could she be frightened? What the hell is going on? Yun Xi immediately asked anxiously. Yun Zhi also showed a caring look.
