Chapter Eighty-Eight: Chinese New Year

In front of his nephew, who was eighteen years younger than him, he actually exposed his biggest secret now because of his gaffe, and Zhu Gaoxu was a little embarrassed. "Wang Lian is locked up in the Criminal Department, how can the people in the Criminal Department do it? As for Liu Guan, he doesn't dare to lean on me, the prince who has lost power, I just want to win over, but there is nothing I can do! ”

Although Zhu Gaoxu denied it, it made Zhu Zhanji more and more affirmative. If the two didn't collude, why did he speak for Liu Guan.

Zhu Zhanji felt that he had underestimated this Uncle Wang, but since he had already known the secret, he was now forced to go to the fiefdom, and Zhu Zhanji didn't think he could make any waves.

He arched his hand and said: "My nephew has no interest in these either, and now my nephew's experience is to rectify the sailor and go overseas to expand the territory." As for court affairs, the nephew doesn't care and doesn't want to care. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji say this, Zhu Gaoxu was a little uncertain again. In his mind, this nephew, like himself, has been advocating martial arts since he was a child, and he is also brave on the battlefield this time.

He doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the court, including the globe that he made, and it is very likely that he yearns for the mysterious world outside the Ming Dynasty.

Can such a person really subdue Ji Gang, an old fox? Can my father really tolerate all this?

Now, he feels that Jingshi is a huge net, everything here must be restricted, there are constraints everywhere, maybe, go to the fiefdom, maybe it will be more free!

However, he had to threaten again before leaving. "Don't let me know that you did these things, even if you are my nephew, I will teach you a good lesson when the time comes."

Zhu Zhanji smiled: "Don't worry, you won't have this opportunity." ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to tear his face seriously, and he didn't dare. No matter how fierce the infighting in the family is, they don't dare to really spread it.

Confucianism has been integrated into the minds of all people, and it is taboo for ordinary people to dare not transgress.

Unless he is determined to rebel like Zhu Di, then it is another matter.

In addition to this episode, Zhu Zhanji and King Han, the uncle and nephew, still maintain their faces. Zhu Yuanzhang was worshipped in the filial piety mausoleum, the tomb of Queen Xu, and everyone returned to the palace.

During the banquet, Zhu Di spoke very little to several adults, and instead focused on a group of grandsons. Except for Zhu Zhanji, he almost forgot who was who the other grandsons, and asked again in turn, encouraging them separately.

A group of little ones were appreciated, and they received rewarding gifts, plus there were few restrictions for the New Year, and they were all happy.

They have few opportunities to meet Zhu Di, and they also know that Zhu Di is the core of the entire big family, so they try to show themselves in front of Zhu Di and please Zhu Di.

This also coaxed Zhu Di to be very happy, and the whole New Year's dinner was still relatively happy.

Zhu Di drank a lot of wine during the banquet and slept for a while after dinner.

This year there is no Chinese New Year's Eve, and the 29th is Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the royal family is completely different from ordinary families, ordinary families have to keep vigil, but the royal family has to sacrifice to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors.

When the evening comes, the civil and military ministers of the capital of three grades or more will gather in the imperial city's Taimiao, and after the worship ceremony, the most important court meeting of the year will begin before dawn.

After the Great Dynasty Meeting, it was officially on holiday, and it was not until after the sixth day of the new year that the ministers began to work in shifts, and after the fifteenth day of the first month, the year was over, and all went to work.

After Zhu Di personally read the three sacrificial texts, his voice was a little hoarse. At the court meeting, Wang Yan read out the summary of the previous year on his behalf.

This is a summary of the previous year's work, such as introducing what major events happened last year, what natural disasters occurred, and then what achievements the imperial court made.

Zhu Zhanji is participating in the court meeting for the first time, so it is particularly novel. He stood in front of Zhu Di's left, under Zhu Gaochi's seat, facing the ministers standing under the Fengtian Palace.

His eyes also kept scanning the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and then began to identify them one by one. Civil officials are easy to recognize, a radish and a pit, according to their position, even if they don't know each other, they can guess who is who.

But it is not easy to distinguish between the generals and the nobles, and there are a small number of people, Zhu Zhanji is familiar with them, and he can't determine his identity.

After reading out the summary of last year's work, it was followed by the preparation of a book on the outlook for this year's work.

From the beginning of Qin Shi Huang, it was stipulated that only the emperor's proclamation could be called an "edict". In addition to the "edict", there is also "making a book", the difference between the two is that "the order is the system, the order is the edict", and the emperor's proclamation involving major institutional aspects is called "making a book", also called "life". The "edict" is an order issued by the emperor for a specific person or thing, so it is said that "the edict is an edict".

Later, this system was gradually improved, and in addition to the preparation of books and edicts, the emperor's orders were issued in the form of edicts, decrees, policies, edicts, and precepts, each of which represented a different meaning.

For example, edicts and decrees are orders given orally by the emperor, while policies, edicts, and precepts are mostly directed at specific events and people.

In addition, there are also edicts and so on, if Zhu Zhanji hadn't learned these since he was a child, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all.

The main reason why he was able to participate in this great court meeting was that the two holy decrees that will be promulgated today are related to him.

One is about the abolition of the naval division and the formation of the navy, and he will be awarded the command of the navy, which is to be ordered on the spot.

There is also a concubine for him, as a grandson, choosing a concubine for him is not a private matter, it can be called a state affair, so he also has to express his gratitude on the spot.

And at this court meeting, Zhu Gaosui was moved to Zhangde Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu was moved to Qingzhou Mansion, and Yunnan was not allowed to go again.

Because there are two major events related to Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji's attention at this court meeting is much higher than that of his prince's father and two uncles.

In the second generation of the imperial family, he was not allowed to govern in person, and he, the third generation, was able to take charge of the military, and it was impossible for him to go unnoticed.

After more than a month, it was also the time for the land to wrestle with a group of military generals, and through his efforts, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces could only accept this decision, and the naval division, including the government-run shipyards in the coastal area, would become the jurisdiction of the Navy from now on, and had nothing to do with the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces.

However, in terms of personnel orders, the navy is still subject to the control of the Ministry of War. Like the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, they only have the right to lead troops, but not the right to transfer troops.

Maybe Zhu Di figured it out, maybe he had a little pity for his eldest son, who was older than him. At the court meeting, he also had a special edict commending his past hard work, sealing him a farm, and adding a guard to his honor guard.

Since it is an edict that gave Zhu Gaochi benefits, of course, he inevitably warned him to do things hard in the future.

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that he still had benefits, and he was moved to tears for a while, and staged a scene of father's kindness and filial piety in front of Baichen.

The pilgrimage meeting began at about two o'clock in the morning and did not disperse until about nine o'clock in the morning.

Hearing that the eunuchs and Jinyi guards were calling for the dynasty, the Fengtian Temple immediately turned into a vegetable market. The civil and military officials greeted each other with a happy new year, and they also bowed one after another.

Zhu Zhanji is the youngest and has the lowest seniority, although he has a high status and a high position, but when others salute, he must return the full courtesy.

After this New Year's greeting, my face stiffened with a smile, and my waist felt like it was going to break.

The first day of junior high school does not pay New Year's greetings, and from the second day of junior high school, Zhu Zhanji took a group of younger brothers and sisters and began to visit relatives.

Zhu Gaoxu has not left the Beijing Division, and he does not dare to be careless, whenever he goes out, the guards around him are all ready to fight.

However, Zhu Gaoxu has been busy recruiting troops and buying horses recently, and he has a lot of entertainment, plus he didn't catch Zhu Zhanji's handle, so he didn't come to Zhu Zhanji's stubble.

Since he is going to choose a concubine for him this year, when he goes to his relatives, he will naturally have one more aspect of entertainment, whether it is going to his uncle's house or to his cousin's house, those female relatives will sell him some of the ladies and small jasper.

Zhu Zhanji also did not refuse to come, promising that as long as he could enter the final stage of concubines, he would definitely stay in the palace.

He did not forget Sun Xian, and on the ninth day of the new year, he also took Sun Xian to his grandmother's house and met her parents who came from Shandong.

Sun Xian has been in the palace since she was eleven years old, and she has only met her parents a handful of times. So much so that she can still recognize her brother, but she doesn't even know a few younger brothers.

Although he was taught in the palace without shock, his nature is still there. When they met, she cried with her mother, and it took a while before she calmed down and whispered to her mother.

Zhu Zhanji's maternal grandmother has always liked Zhu Zhanji, and the only bad thing is that she is too verbose.

Especially Sun Xian was sent to the palace by her, and now that Zhu Zhanji is still satisfied with Sun Xian, she relies even more on the old and sells the old, and makes contributions everywhere.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about her, anyway, doesn't she want to ask for anything, and doesn't let an old lady enjoy herself and be self-intoxicated!

Sun Xian's father, Sun Zhong, is an honest man, and in the face of Zhu Zhanji, a grandson who is much higher than him, although he will be his son-in-law in the future, he does not dare to be disrespectful.

Zhu Zhanji patiently chatted with him for an hour, and had lunch with him at noon, and only after lunch did he find an excuse to leave for a while and go to the Xu family temple to meet the third aunt of the Xu family.

This third aunt is also a strange person, their four sisters, a queen, and two princesses, but she is determined not to marry.

After the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di wanted to make her queen, but she was also refused, and she was only willing to spend her life in the ancient Buddha of the green light.

Zhu Zhanji met her a few times when he was a child, and knew that Queen Xu felt very sorry for this third sister. She was also very close to Zhu Zhanji when she was a child, so Zhu Zhanji also respected this high-looking third aunt.

Whenever she is in the capital, she always has to meet twice a year and send her some palace and Western gadgets.

When the gift was delivered, Zhu Zhanji chatted with her through the window, then said goodbye, wandered around the street, and went back to pick up Sun Xian and go back to the palace together.

It's time to implement the plans.
