On this day, Yunxi returned to Kunning Palace in the evening, and casually asked Xiyao: "What did you tell him when Xiyang entered the palace yesterday?" ”

Xi Yao was suddenly a little nervous in her heart: she couldn't let Yun Xi know about her persuasion of Xi Yang not to be a general. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So Xi Yao also pretended to be casual and replied: "I didn't say anything, I just chatted about family life." I only see him once a year in New Year's Day, so I call him to talk. ”

Yun Xi listened to Xi Yao's words, but she didn't expect her to say something inappropriate to Xi Yang, and said, "From now on, I will allow you to meet your family every month." It doesn't matter if you go out of the palace to go back to your parents' house to save your relatives, or let them enter the palace to see you. ”

Xi Yao shook her head and smiled: "I go home every month to save my family, what is it?" Even the daughter-in-law who marries in the people does not have the reason to return to her parents' house every month. If it is said that the father and younger brother are allowed to enter the palace, the father has the most important rules, and I am afraid that he will not come. ”

Something like this that is very inconsistent with the etiquette tradition, that is, Yun Xi can not care about it and say it casually, although Xi Yao has been hearing such unruly words from Yun Xi all these years, but he is still not used to it. But then again, when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, Yun Xi still paid attention to his daily speech, and after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, who respected the rules, he became more and more open-mouthed, fortunately it was only in the harem.

Yun Xi thought of something again, and said, "I see that there is an offering to Manjushri in your room, why have you also begun to believe in Buddhism?" ”

Xi Yao said: "Not really. It was the concubine's mother who asked the concubine to put on the image of Manjushri. The concubine saw that her mother was earnest, so she put it on. ”

Yun Xi said: "If there is something good at the top, it will be done at the bottom." If everyone knows that you worship Manjushri, then everyone will probably worship Manjushri if they ask you. Don't let others know about your worship of Manjushri, otherwise the monks in the capital will tremble again. ”

In fact, Yun Xi is not too satisfied with Xi Yao's mother's worship of Manjushri Bodhisattva, but Buddhism is an officially recognized religion, and he can limit the total number of monks, anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang has such a policy; However, forcing a certain person not to worship is not conducive to uniting the monks, and it will also affect his policy of using Buddhism, so he can only admit it.

Xi Yao said: "The concubine knows. ”

Yun Xi asked again, "Is Xi Yi okay?" It's been two months since she gave birth, why is she still sick? ”

Xi Yao sighed: "Hey, giving birth to a child is originally a detrimental thing to the body, and she is popular again, and she needs to raise it for a longer time." ”

"But the imperial doctors said that her body is much better, and it is estimated that it will be almost the same by the first month."

Yun Xi said: "I should stay in Xiyi's Jingren Palace tomorrow, although Xiyi can't serve me now, I will go to see her tomorrow and come to you again." ”

Of course, Xi Yao is supportive, Yun Xi still cares about her own sister, how can she not support it. But she said softly, "Got it." ”

Yun Xi talked to Xi Yao for a while, and then slept with Xi Yao.

But Xi Yao didn't fall asleep when Yun Xi fell asleep, but her eyes flashed as if she was thinking about something.

=====================================================

The next day, Yun Xi went to court. After Yun Xi finished talking about a few important things, he said loudly: "I saw an excerpt yesterday, and I asked you to listen to it too. After speaking, it was the little eunuch on the side.

The little eunuch on the side opened the fold and read: "Liu Rongjie, the governor of Xinyang Prefecture,......, got chestnuts in the wild on October 10, which is more than twice as large as ordinary chestnuts. The minister regards it as auspicious and reports to His Majesty. ”

Yun Xi waited for the eunuch to finish reading, and said to the ministers below, "What do you think? ”

The officials standing at the head of the six Shangshu all looked at the expressions of the people on the left and right. Obviously, although Yun Xi's anger was not obvious, everyone knew that the official was patting the horse's leg on the horse's leg.

Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites headed by the civil official, stood up. Although the power of the four auxiliary officials is not small now, among the six departments, that is, the power of the official department is still above the four auxiliary officials, and they are still close ministers of the Son of Heaven, but the four auxiliary officials are only the third rank officials, and the six departments are the second grades, according to the rules, they are before the four auxiliary officials; Among the six departments, although the Ministry of Rites has no important power except for the imperial examination, according to tradition, it is the first of the six departments, so only Chen Di came forward.

Chen Di said: "Your Majesty, although Xiangrui's words are illusory, but it is always a piece of kindness from your subordinates, and Your Majesty can reprimand him with a little words." ”

Yun Xi listened to Chen Di's words and said, "You think so? Then he glanced at the ministers with his eyes and said, "You all think so? ”

Qi Tai came out and said: "Your Majesty, although this matter may not be auspicious, but if Liu Zhizhou did not lie, and the chestnut that is more than twice the size of the usual chestnut does have this thing, it is better not to deal with it seriously." ”

"If Liu Zhizhou is making things up, then Your Majesty thinks it should be dealt with seriously."

Yun Xi glanced at Qi Tai. What Qi Tai said should be selfless, it is indeed what he thinks in his heart. According to common sense, as long as things do exist, it can't be said that this Liu Zhizhou is wrong, and when everyone can't reasonably explain the reason for the appearance of this abnormal fruit, can that person completely deny that Xiangrui really doesn't exist?

But Yun Xi can be sure that this Zhizhou named Liu Rongjie must be like this for the sake of sycophancy. Yun Xi had already received a report from Jinyiwei before this, saying that this Liu Zhizhou had already publicized the existence of Xiangrui in the local area, but he did not allow the local magistrate of Luoshan County to go to the fold together, showing that he wanted to be greedy.

Yun Xi said sternly: "Now that the first emperor has died for only six months, how can there be any auspiciousness!" It's clear that this Zhizhou lied! ”

"Spread my will, demote this Zhizhou to the ninth grade, and re-elect the officials with him."

Yun Xi said again: "The real auspicious is to manage the country well, this is what Tang Taizong said. ”

"From now on, local officials are not allowed to report auspiciousness with similar things, and violators will be punished severely!"

"Not even Golden Harvest! One Jiahe, how much more grain can be harvested! If it is ...... "here, Yun Xi originally wanted to say that the land in the county has a few percent more grain per acre, which is called Xiangrui."

But he immediately remembered the famous allusion to the famous yield of 30,000 catties per mu, so he decided not to say it.

Yun Xi said a few more words and announced his next dynasty.

After leaving the court, he returned to the Qianqing Palace, and it didn't take long for the four auxiliary officials to come over. Chen Xingshan said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the punishment for Liu Rongjie is a bit heavy. ”

"Your Majesty's succession has come, and there has been no such thing as offering auspiciousness, this is the first time, Your Majesty still gives a slightly lighter sentence, so that the local officials know that this matter does not need to be reported again. If there is still an auspicious person, it is not too late to deal with it. ”

Yun Xi saw that the civil officials present were all familiar people, and sighed and said, "I don't want to deal with it again, but I have to do it." ”

"In a country as big as the Ming Dynasty, there are so many things every day, even if I have your assistance, I feel that it is not easy, where is there still time to deal with these little things repeatedly? After a heavy punishment, let them remember this, and the province repeated similar twists and turns. ”

"Back then, Yu Yu's history was twisted, and more than 4,000 words were still off topic, and His Majesty beat him in court, and then the minister did not dare to write a boundless recital."

Yun Xi glanced at the face of the fourth auxiliary officer, and then said: "Of course, it is against etiquette to hit the board in public, so I will never do this." But it can also be seen that the role of the first person is important. ”

In fact, in addition to this, Yun Xi has other reasons why Liu Rongjie must be dealt with again. Although he had a letter requesting the reduction and exemption of the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Liu Chuan, the performer, was demoted thousands of miles to Shazhouwei, the northwesternmost part of the country, which deterred those who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

But there are still people who want to fish in troubled waters, and Yun Xi has disposed of several people during this time, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that he must not have missed anything.

And there were also officials who tested Yoon-hee's preferences, especially the magistrates. Yun Xi was annoyed by this, and this official named Liu Rongjie was actually testing Yun Xi's preferences.

So Yun Hee decided to deal with it again.

The officials below listened to Yun Xi's first reason, although they felt that it was not in line with the way of the Holy Monarch, but they would not admonish them, including the most principled Chen Xingshan. If all such things were admonished, then Chen Xingshan could only resign as early as when Yunxi was still the emperor's grandson.

After saying this, everyone began to deal with political affairs. Yun Xi opened the fold, and the first fold Yun Xi paid attention to it, because this was the Ministry of Industry's camp department, and the thing it said was that the 'public rental housing' for middle and low-level officials in Beijing had been built.

It is said that the construction of public rental housing for middle and low-level officials in Beijing was built by Yun Xi after he officially began to deal with the government and issued Liu Chuan, the original intention was that Yun Xi learned from Qi Tai's daily life that the Ming Dynasty's income at that time was very low for officials in Beijing, so he sought benefits for middle and low-level officials in Beijing. As for high-ranking officials above the third rank, they can have official mansions, so there is no need to worry about them.

Because there are many officials in Beijing, even if the military attaches are removed, there are only civil officials and miscellaneous officials, and in order to show fairness, it is not easy for Yunxi to build a place for some officials to live in first, so he did not report to Yunxi until it was recently completed.

Yun Xi got it on the top: Officials in Beijing moved in on the day. Public rental housing is divided into four blocks, the residence of officials of the fourth and fifth grades is one piece, the residence of officials of the sixth and seventh grades is one piece, the residence of officials of the eighth and ninth grades is one piece, and the residence of officials who do not enter the stream is one piece, and the residence of the sub-district residence. However, the districts are interconnected, and it is not possible to travel at night.

Yun Xi finished this sentence, and put the fold not in the stack of folds that he returned to the General Administration, but put it in his hand.

And Yun Xi told the eunuchs beside him: "Let the Jinyi Guard command Qin Song to come to the Qianqing Palace at noon!" ”

Then Yun Xi continued to answer the folds. It didn't take long for me to get to noon. Yun Xi stood up and said to the auxiliary officers below: "A few Aiqing, it's already noon, let's rest for a while and continue after lunch." ”

This is a very normal speech when Yun Xi speaks, so the assistant minister didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and when he heard the words, he stopped writing after drawing up the folded note at hand, or rested for a while before eating, or went directly to eat.

Yun Xi himself came to the side hall. When Yun Xi arrived at the side hall, sure enough, Qin Song had already arrived. Qin Song saw Yun Xi coming, and after saluting, he said, "What is the matter with Your Majesty summoning the ministers?" ”

Yun Xi said: "The public rental housing built for officials with official positions below the fourth rank in Beijing has been built, and these officials can move in at a later date. ”

"Now I want you to find some restaurant owners who you must not know to be Jinyiwei, and open a restaurant in a place where public rental housing has been built for officials with official positions below the fourth rank in Beijing."

"When I was building public rental housing, I allowed the curfew in this area to be very late, and allowed them to come out after dark, just to get information."

"It's getting dark earlier and earlier now, and it's still very early after the daily shift, but there will be a curfew after dark."

"Officials who want to party, in order not to violate the curfew, it is best to meet in a restaurant where public rental housing has been built for officials with official positions below the fourth rank in Beijing; And since they want to meet outside, they don't want to go home and be entertained by their families, so they will probably meet there. ”

"The method of sending a spy to each family is too easy to expose, and many officials are very poor and can't afford to support their subordinates, so this is not possible."

"But it's different in restaurants. Not to mention that there are many secret ways to know what they are talking about in restaurants; Just say that many officials don't have a door in their mouths, and they can know a lot of things just by spies pretending to be subordinates. ”

"And it saves a lot of people. The only problem is that you must pay attention to secrecy, and there must be no rumors such as 'there are spies in the restaurant'. If there are such rumors, then all the work has been lost. ”

Yes, Yunxi also built public rental housing for the purpose of getting what officials had to say. This was not something that came to mind when his will to build public rental housing was issued. But it didn't take long after it was issued.

Therefore, Yun Xi deliberately ordered the curfew in the public rental housing area to be very late on the grounds that "the public rental housing is occupied by officials, how can there be anything wrong", so that the only place where officials want to meet outside is the restaurant near the public rental housing.

Although some very confidential things are not usually mentioned in restaurants, just some general information is very valuable, and many things can be deduced from this.

Qin Song listened to Yun Xi's words and said, "Your Majesty can really think about what the minister can't think, and the minister is extremely impressed." ”

"Haha," Yun Xi smiled. Qin Song is a member of his domain, if ordinary people say this, he must think that he is a sycophant, but Qin Song will think it is true when he says this.

And it really is from the bottom of my heart! Well, that's it.

Qin Song continued: "The minister will go down immediately to make arrangements. ”

Yun Xi let out a "hmm", and then as if he remembered something, he said, "You say, how about letting Boss Tang from Shandong Noodle Restaurant come here to open a noodle restaurant?" ”

"In my vision, there is at least one restaurant with Jiangnan cuisine, one restaurant with northern characteristics, one Bashu and Huguang, and one in Xingjian and Guangdong."

"Boss Tang's house is the specialty of Shandong, and in addition to pasta, Shandong's cuisine is also good, at most change the name. It's not called a noodle restaurant, it's called a restaurant or a restaurant. What do you think? ”

Qin Song thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Boss Tang of the Shandong Noodle Restaurant helped His Majesty six years ago, although he was not from Jinyi Weizhong, and there were not many people who knew that his family had copper pipes to eavesdrop on conversations, but because of his relationship with His Majesty, most of us would not talk about some political affairs in his restaurant." Therefore, the minister thought it was inappropriate. ”

Yun Xi listened to Qin Song's words, thought about it carefully, and said, "What you said is right, but I am wrong. ”

Then Yun Xi suddenly remembered a restaurant and said, "Then I have another one I want to recommend." ”

"Do you know that there is a very good restaurant in the capital that makes Jiangjiang cuisine, called Qiantang Restaurant?"

Qin Song thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. ”

Yun Xi said: "On a small road from the west to the palace, it is not big. But the last time I tasted it, I thought his food was good. ”

"I remember that the owner of his shop is called Jin Chengzhu, although he was from Beijing in the era, but the practice of Yijiang cuisine was passed down by the family, and it was still unique in that area. If you find the right place, it's easy to find. (Chapter 230)

Qin Song said: "Does this family have anything to do with Your Majesty?" Qin Song asked cautiously.

Yun Xi said: "It has nothing to do with it, it's just that I ate a meal there again and thought it was a good job, so I told you." ”

"In a place where public rental housing is built for officials with official positions below the fourth rank in Beijing, there must be no bad food. If they don't do as well as their own home, then who will come back to the restaurant to eat? So find someone who does a good job to open a restaurant. ”

Yun Xi was afraid that Qin Song would think that he had designated Jin Chengzhu's family, and said: "I just let you go and have a look, if you can, and they are willing, let him move to that place to open a restaurant; If it's not suitable, that's it. ”

Qin Song breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The minister knows. ”

Yun Xi said a few more words and asked Qin Song if there was anything wrong, and of course Qin Song replied, "There is nothing wrong." Then Yun Xi let Qin Song go down.

=====================================================

The matter of public rental housing is worthy of being a matter related to the well-being of the majority of middle- and low-level officials in Beijing, and the officials of the Department of Communications noticed it when they passed on the twists and turns, and then when they went to work, although they did not dare to leave their posts without permission, they also talked about it with every official who came to the Department of Communications and Affairs; And when the officials who heard about it returned to their department, they would talk to others in their department. So when it was time to get off work, the officials in Beijing almost knew about it.

That's how Xie Jin knew about it. Although he now has a Chinese scholar hanging on his body, his main business is to compile the "Taizu Record", especially recently "The Record of Taizu" is about to be completed, and Xie Jin can't even take care of lunch every day.

Xie Jin returned to the mansion of Dong Lun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and said to Dong Lun excitedly: "Your Majesty loves us so much, it is really difficult to repay us for waiting." ”

Although Dong Lun was not as excited as Xie Jin, it may be because the former emperor Zhu Yuanzhang pressed the officials too hard, so he also felt that Yun Xi really took care of the minister, and said: "Then I will work hard to serve Your Majesty." ”
