Chapter 710: Discussion and Celebration of Holidays
While his concubines were talking to their relatives, Yun Xi was discussing things with the ministers in the Qianqing Palace.
"I want to posthumously crown my eldest brother as the prince, what do you think of Aiqing?" Yoon-hee asked.
"Posthumously crowned the eldest son of His Majesty Taizong? Your Majesty has done this very well. Xie Jin said first. Not only him, but several other people also thought that Yun Xi's approach was very good.
Zhu Xiongying is Zhu Biao's eldest son and son-in-law, and should have been the natural heir of the Ming Empire, but unfortunately died young at the age of eight, so he could not inherit the throne of the Ming Emperor.
Yun Xi posthumously crowned him as the king, which can show his nostalgia for his brother and the importance he attaches to family affection, which is of great significance.
"Then what do you think is better to add a title? It can't be the same as the title that was used before. Yun Xi said again.
"How is King Zheng?" Tyrant Zhao said.
Yun Xi shook his head: "King Zheng, who is famous in history, didn't end well. ”
"How about being crowned King of Han?" Xie Jindao.
"King Han is good." When Yun Xi heard it, he thought it was good. Now the Chinese people are called Han people, and it is very good to crown Zhu Xiongying as the king of Han.
Since Yun Xi thinks it's good, even if others have any different opinions, they don't dare to say it: even if Yun Xi doesn't blame him, it will offend Xie Jin, and Xie Jin's heart eye They all know that it is smaller than the eye of a needle, and it is not worth offending him for such a thing.
Yun Xi actually thought about passing on one of his sons to Zhu Xiongying so that he would have descendants to sacrifice, but he quickly vetoed it. Zhu Xiongying is the most orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty, and his nominal son will also become the most orthodox heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
The matter was thus decided, and Yun Xi immediately moved on to the next thing. "In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Uncle Tan was afraid of self-immolation, because the first emperor was too worried at that time, and Uncle Tan had no children to be killed, so that he did not get a nickname and no one sacrificed. I decided to add the name of Uncle Tan to Yang, and listed it in the temple for worship. Yun Xi said.
But Yun Hee said so, but the truth is not so. It is recorded in the history books that King Tan was worried about self-immolation because the princess's maiden family was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, but after thinking about it, Yun Xi felt that Zhu Yuanzhang attached so much importance to his son that he did not give King Tan a nickname, so that he would have no one to sacrifice after his death, absolutely not because of this incident.
But the truth of the matter, even Yun Xi, who inherited the throne after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, cannot be clarified. Zhu Yuanzhang carried out a purge that year, and countless people related to this matter were killed, and Concubine Guo Ning, who may know the truth, was tight-lipped again, although Yun Xi guessed according to the traces left, but there was no evidence.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Yun Xi, Yun Xi added a nickname to Zhu Zi so that he could have a sacrifice to show his leniency and concern for the clan.
The ministers also agreed. They didn't know what happened back then, but they could guess that it must be a shocking event, so even if Yun Xi gave Zhu Zi a 'Yang' character as a nickname, they didn't feel anything.
Yun Xi discussed with them for a while, and completely discussed the matter of officially sealing in a few days.
Yun Xi looked sideways at this time, and it was not too early to see it. smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Shangyuan Festival, so I won't leave you in the palace for longer, go back to celebrate the festival." ”
These ministers who Yun Xi trusted also wanted to go home for the holiday, and bowed to Yun Xi and then retreated.
Yun Xi stretched his waist and was thinking about whether to go to the apse in advance, when suddenly Huang Fu came over, raised a document with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is the record of the concubines talking to their relatives just now. ”
"What the hell did they say that they sent it to me?" Yun Xi said as he picked it up. Of course, he would send someone to monitor what they and their relatives were saying, but he also stipulated that if there were no offensive words or important things to him, he would not personally look at them, and the person in charge would keep them on file. So Yunxi was curious about what they said, so that the person in charge felt that he should be seen.
Yun Xi said with some surprise after seeing it: "Concubine Chen, Concubine Ming and Concubine Yun, either ask their families to go to war, or do their families want to go to war?" ”
But no one answered him. Huang Fu, Huang Lu and the others stood aside, looking at their nose and nose and not moving at all.
Yun Xi also knew that his subordinates would definitely not dare to answer, so he stood up and paced. It's really surprising that my concubines are all militants who want to fight. Yun Xi thought.
"But it's okay this way, when there is a war in the future, there are clans and relatives fighting in front, so you don't have to worry about the reproach of the civil officials." Yun Xi muttered to himself.
However, it is not a good thing to let these different relatives become officials in the country after making great contributions, as many relatives have a place in the court, some people's thoughts that should not be there will also appear, not only above the court, but even the harem will be smoky.
In order to prevent such a situation, what Yun Xi did was to try to shape Xi Yao's authority: she handed over all the affairs of the harem to her, never publicly refuted Xi Yao's words, and attached great importance to the Xue family, and made Wen Yuan the crown prince. But if these concubines have the support of the court, they may not be able to ensure such a stable harem now. Not everyone is Xu Huizu and knows how to advance and retreat.
"If their merits can't be hidden, choose a place for their sons in advance, and let their families go to the fiefdom to stay." Yun Xi said.
Having decided on the matter, he picked up the record of his deliberations with the ministers and looked at it, muttering to himself that he did not know what he was talking about.
Until Huang Fu reminded: "Your Majesty, it's already the beginning of noon, do you want to go to the apse and spend the Yuan Festival with the queen, the princes and princesses, and a few mothers?" ”
"It's noon so soon?" Yun Xi looked at the leak, "It's really the first minute of noon." You serve me and change my clothes. ”
When Yun Xi arrived in the back hall, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and all his concubines and the three sisters who now live in the palace, Yun Xi had already arrived, and when they saw Yun Xi walking in, they hurriedly got up and saluted.
Yun Xi smiled and asked them to sit down, sat down in the main seat by himself, looked around and saw that no one was absent, and said to Huang Lu, "Let's serve the food." ”
Huang Lu bowed down and agreed, went out to pass the meal, and after a while, the eunuch who belonged to the imperial dining room walked in with countless delicious delicacies and began to serve the food.
Today's arrangement for Yun Xi is as follows: he sits at a large round table with his concubine and three younger sisters, and his eight children sit at another table with Yun Hee.
On his left is Queen Xiyao, on Xiyao's right is Xiyi, and on his right is Yunlan ,......; On the right is Miaojin, on the right side of Miaojin is Yunyun, and on the right is Huqin,......。 He tried to keep his concubines apart as much as possible.
Yun Xi knows very well that it is nonsense to expect the harem to be completely harmonious, and even if they don't use any vicious means against each other, at most they will be discordant in their faces and hearts, maintaining a superficial harmony.
But he really wants to call all his concubines together, even if they just maintain superficial harmony, and it is also very rewarding to watch his harem together. He even summoned several court painters and asked them to hide behind the tent and draw the feast of the day. So Yun Xi insisted on calling them all over for the festival together, and arranged the seats out of harmony.
