Lao Zhu said: "I don't have anything to do here for the time being, you can go back." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Yoon-hee immediately retired.

Returning to the Wenhua Palace, Yun Xi wanted to go back to the dormitory of Wenyuan Pavilion, but the palace maid guarding outside the dormitory saluted and said: "Your Highness, the concubine has already rested, Your Highness should go to the side hall to sleep." ”

Yun Xi wanted to go back and talk to Xi Yao more, but when he heard the words, he knew that he couldn't do it, so he turned around and went to Xi Yi's bedroom.

Xiyao has already told Xiyi that the grandson is about to go on a northern tour, and he will not accept newcomers into the palace in the next few days; But after returning from the north, there will definitely be newcomers entering the palace, so Xiyao asked Xiyi to seize the opportunity to monopolize Yunxi in the past few days and try to conceive a child.

So after Yun Xi came in, Xi Yi immediately greeted him enthusiastically, and Yun Xi saw that Xi Yi was so enthusiastic, and he also responded enthusiastically.

Early the next morning, Yun Xi came to the East Warm Pavilion, and Lian Zining, Zhang Shu and other officials of the East Palace immediately saluted when they saw Yun Xi and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness!" Yun Xi also smiled and told them to get up.

After they got up, Yun Xi said, "Now you can prepare for the northern tour." ”

Lian Zining said: "It's all ready. The route has been discussed, and His Highness has approved it; His Majesty has already sent a few people and ministers to talk about the matter of the guards, and one thousand households will be transferred from the Jinwu avant-garde and the prefectural army avant-garde, plus His Highness's guards and the students of the last lecture martial arts; Everything else you need to prepare can be prepared right away. Now all we need to prepare is a few of our luggage. ”

Yun Xi knew that his last sentence was a joke, and scolded with a smile: "Then don't hurry up and prepare!" By the way, you don't have to prepare your luggage, and you don't go with you. ”

Yun Xi was not at ease when he handed over the lecture hall to others Yun Xi because he still had someone to take care of the affairs of the martial arts hall, so Yun Xi had already discussed it with Lian Zining and them before, Lian Zining, Chen Xingshan and Zhang Shu stayed in the capital, and Yun Xi took Qi Tai, Guo Zhen and Qin Song to the north tour. That's why he said that.

Subsequently, Qintian supervised that the eighth day of the seventh month was a good day for travel. Yun Xi asked Wang Bu and the others to prepare their luggage. Originally, Yun Xi didn't want to take the eunuchs, but Xi Yao, Wang Jin and others insisted on taking the eunuchs, Yun Xi later got used to the life of being served, and let the guards serve for fear that they would not be able to do a good job, and some people may think that they were insulting him, so they agreed to take Wang Xi and a few other small eunuchs.

The next day after that, Yun Xi came to the riverside village. Yun Xi is very concerned about the situation of the glass, and he took a look before traveling.

Yun Xi said to Li Dong, the leader of the craftsmen: "How big can you make glass now?" ”

Li Dong replied: "Back to the young master, the largest can already be two feet long, but it is very difficult to control, six days ago we made this two-foot long glass, but after a few days have not been able to make a larger one." ”

Yun Xi compared how big two feet is, it is not small, and the glass used as a window is barely enough. Yun Xi also knew that the bigger the glass, the more difficult it was to make, and if there was a mistake in the process, it would fall short, so Yun Xi said: "It's good to be this size, look at how many pieces are about the same size in the process." After a pause, he said, "It's just that the color of this piece of glass is still impure, is there any glass that makes a solid color?" ”

Li Dong said: "Young master, I can't do it yet. Don't hide it from the young master, this is different from making big glass, as long as you are skilled in making big glass, the heat is well controlled, and the people feel that it is still okay to make it bigger little by little. But this color, still can't be. ”

Yun Xi saw that they said this, and this technical thing was really not easy to force, so he had to say: "For the pure color, we must continue to arrange people to test, and the big glass here must continue to be done." Li Dong promised.

Yun Xi said a few words to the owner Lu Chengfeng and Feng Mo this time, but he only said a few words casually, and then went back.

But these two sentences moved Lu Chengfeng to tears, which made Feng Mo very surprised.

Then came the seventh day of the seventh month. The day before your trip. This afternoon, Yun Xi was thinking about things alone in the study, and the palace maid came in and reported: "The county lord of Jiangdu is here." "As soon as the palace maid finished reporting, Wen Ying, who had been named the county lord of Jiangdu, had already walked in and saluted Yun Xi.

Yun Xi got up and saluted back, and then said, "Why is the eldest sister here today?" ”

Wen Ying smiled: "Isn't it tomorrow that the third brother will go to the north to inspect." Tomorrow morning will be busy, and the third brother may not have time to receive me, so I will see off the third brother today. ”

Although Yun Xi was happy that she came to see her off in person, she still said, "Why do we have to see each other between brothers and sisters? What to see off and not to see off. He quipped: "If you don't prepare for the wedding in your boudoir, why do you always come out." "Lao Zhu has officially decreed that Cao Zhen's second son Cao Che will be the county horse, so Yun Xi has this to say.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Ying replied: "My wedding is still in February next year, so what's the hurry." Yoon-hee laughed.

The two spoke a few more words, and Wen Ying took his leave. Yun Xi said: "You have time to come and see your sister-in-law, I think you and Xi Yao are quite compatible." ”

Wen Ying said secretly: "I am in love with Xiyi, not Xiyao. But she really wanted to have a good relationship with Xi Yao, so she still promised and then stepped back.

That night, Yun Xi knew that the next day would be very busy, so he rested alone in the study at night. Early the next morning, Yun Xi was woken up very early, Xi Yao came to serve Yun Xi in person with an inconspicuous belly, sorted out all the things to be brought for Yun Xi, and then straightened his neckline for him before Yun Xi left the palace, and then said softly: "The concubine is waiting for His Royal Highness to come back." ”

Yun Xi gently squeezed Xi Yao's hand, and then gently kissed the side of her face. Then Xi Yao and all the palace maids and eunuchs present walked out of the study in a daze, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace with the eunuchs who were going to the north with him.

After a long while, Xi Yao reacted and stroked her cheek with her hand and smiled stupidly.

Yun Xi walked to the Qianqing Palace, and Lao Zhu had already gotten up and waited for Yun Xi. After Yun Xi finished his salute, Lao Zhu said: "When I go to the north, in addition to visiting your uncles and inspecting whether the army in the north (Note 1) is in order and whether the forts are complete, I should also pay more attention to the people's welfare. ”

Lao Zhu Ping retired all the eunuchs and palace maids, and then said: "Ma Zhiyuan of the former Yuan said: 'Xing, the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer. This is biased, but there is some truth to it. Grandpa recalled the life of the former Yuan Dynasty, even when the former Yuan was still stable, the life of the family was just barely able to eat, and if you wanted to eat meat, you had to wait for the New Year to pick up the water that the landlord Liu De's family did not want; If the year is a little worse, you will have to go hungry and even go to loan sharks. Although the people under the Ming Dynasty now say that they are much stronger than in the former Yuan Dynasty, I know that even if they are stronger, they are limited. ”

"So you have to know the suffering of the people. And the people were exploited, mainly because of the hands of the officials. Although Grandpa executed the treacherous officials in various places when he first founded the country, and made the methods of the officials to exploit the people clear to the officials and informed the people, he still could not guarantee that the officials would not harm the people. ”

"If you go on a northern tour, if you see the officials who harm the people, you can deal with them immediately, and you don't need to report to your grandfather before you deal with them."

"For officials who are derelict in their duties, mediocre and even corrupt in various places, you can detain them first, let the officials of the Wutang Hall who accompany you replace them, and then report to your grandfather to deal with the officials."

Lao Zhu babbled a lot, and Yun Xi listened to them all and agreed. At this time, there was a bell ringing of "Dangdangdang" outside the hall, and Lao Zhu looked at the leak and found that it had arrived, so he smiled and said: "It turns out that it has been so long." ”

Then he turned his head and said to Yun Xi: "You go, grandpa won't tell you much, you can take a look outside, and you'll know." Yun Xi stood up and saluted and retired.

Yun Xi came back to the outside of Chengtian Gate. Because the crown prince went on patrol, no matter what he was going to do, he was uniformly called: 'Fu Jun', so Yun Xi had to be the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to perform the last rites before he traveled.

Now many of the generals of the Ming Dynasty have died, and the only duke Tang He is also sick, and he may die one day, and he can't come to preside over the ceremony. So pushing back and forth, Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, presided over the last etiquette of the crown prince leaving the palace.

At this time, it was already the time of the early dynasty, but today it was postponed by an hour because of Yun Xi's northern tour, but at this time, a lot of officials had gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, and they watched Yun Xi perform the last ceremony.

Guo Ying stood on the stage, Yun Xi listened to Guo Ying speak with the holy decree on the side, there was nothing new, Yun Xi listened carefully on the surface, but in fact, his thinking didn't know where to go.

After a short time, Guo Ying finished reading the holy decree, Yun Xi saluted, Guo Ying received the salute, and then bowed to Yun Xi. Yun Xi said a few more words to Guo Ying.

Then Yun Xi got down from the platform and instructed Lian Zining, Chen Xingshan and Zhang Shudao, who stayed in Beijing: "I am not in Beijing, you must take care of the affairs of the martial arts; If someone violates the discipline set by the solitary rule, he must be severely punished, and there must be no slackness. ”

Lian Zining and others promised.

Yun Xi glanced back at Chang Sheng and the others next to him, and it was inconvenient to talk to them, just glanced at them, and then turned his head and left.
