Yanxi Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Out of Yude Palace, Zhu Changluo came to Yanxi Palace, it is said that he and Queen Wang have indeed not seen each other for many days, and now they are in the East Palace, and the credit of Queen Wang is indispensable in the middle.
"Erchen has seen his mother!"
Kunning Palace has almost been built now, but Empress Wang is still used to living in Yanxi Palace, and the emperor has no intention of moving out, but has changed the place to deal with political affairs to the renovated Yude Palace.
"Here, sit down!"
The queen smiled as usual, and asked the maidservant to bring the soft couch to quipped .
"Now you've got your wish?"
"Mother is far-sighted, isn't the former son a son!"
Zhu Changluo was a little embarrassed, when the queen told him that the emperor did not have the intention of easy storage, Zhu Changluo's heart was actually a little suspicious, after all, with the situation at the time, the emperor's tendency was really too obvious, only because of the usual trust in the queen Wang prompted Zhu Changluo and Zhen Zhenji to join forces to deal with Shen Zheng, and now that the dust has settled, Zhu Changluo knows that the emperor's heart has indeed never wavered the candidate for the throne.
It's just that I didn't expect that such a little bit of caution would be difficult to hide from Queen Wang.
After a pause, Zhu Changluo hesitated for a moment, but still told his experience in Yude Palace, of course, the matter about Jurchen was omitted.
"Mother, now that the canonization ceremony has not been carried out, if the son moves into the Ciqing Palace, is he too anxious......
Ciqing Palace is the prince's east palace, but now Zhu Changluo is not without a place to live, and moving in before the canonization ceremony will inevitably cause discussion in the court.
What's more, Zhu Changluo still had a layer of worry that he didn't say it, that is, the matter of sacrificing prisoners, although Zhu Yijun resolutely let him pass, but Zhu Changluo always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
If he is the crown prince for many years, it is okay to do this kind of thing of surrendering on behalf of the monarch's father, but he is a newly established prince, and he lacks both prestige and authority, and rashly presiding over such a major event may also cause unnecessary speculation......
Queen Wang shook her head, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, but she sighed.
"You, everything is good, but your mind is heavier! I heard that His Majesty promoted your two teachers yesterday? He also entrusted you with the arrangement of the Zhan Mansion? ”
"Yes!"
Zhu Changluo bowed his head and said.
But the more this is the case, the more uneasy he feels in his heart, cooking oil with fire and flowers with brocade are not a good thing, there is a word in this world, called killing.
"Don't worry, once Your Majesty gives it to you, you will follow! If you want people to do hard work, you have to give some sweetness! ”
But Queen Wang didn't look worried, shook her head, and said.
"Chore?"
Zhu Changluo frowned and looked at Queen Wang with some puzzlement.
"Why, you caused the trouble yourself, and you forgot it so quickly?"
Queen Wang looked at Zhu Changluo playfully and reminded.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Changluo still had no clue, so he had to ask obediently.
"Mother please make it clear!"
Queen Wang sighed and said.
"The affairs of the court, this palace does not know much, but in the past few days, His Majesty has come back, and occasionally mentioned it, saying that there is an incident in Jiangnan, and he has to send a powerful enough person to go over, this palace originally thought that he should be a highly respected minister in the court, but now it seems that His Majesty is afraid that he wants you to pass......"
Out of Yanxi Palace, Zhu Changluo still looked like he was frowning.
It stands to reason that something happened in Jiangnan!
Jiangnan is a rich land, but also the imperial court's tax area, if there is something in Jiangnan recently, it is probably the matter of Yongjia Salt Farm, Yongjia Salt Farm is one of the three major salt farms in the Ming Dynasty, supplying all the salt in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zheng Qingshan's matter is just the tip of the iceberg, in fact, the problems in the salt industry are far more serious than what you see.
It's just that the issue of the salt works in this place alone requires the prince of a country to come forward in person, which is inevitably a bit of a fuss, is it because of the tax law?
All kinds of thoughts surfaced in Zhu Changluo's heart.
The tax law of the imperial court has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and the phenomenon of heavy agricultural tax and light commercial tax has been around for a long time, in fact, the first tax law was formulated during the Hongwu period, which is undoubtedly suitable for the social situation in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
But by now, it is clear that there is no small problem.
Regarding the tax law, Zhu Changluo has tried many times openly and secretly, and has also communicated his opinions with Zhu Yijun, but like the Jurchen matter, because the matter is big and involves all aspects of the problem, Zhu Yijun has not made a clear statement.
But now it seems that perhaps this incident in Yongjia Salt Field is an opportunity......
"Your Highness, it's time to Jingyang Palace!"
Thinking like this, Zhu Changluo heard Wang An's voice ringing in his ears.
When I looked up, I had already arrived at my wife's residence.
"Slave and maid, see Your Highness!"
There are already two maidservants at the gate of the palace who are waiting for them, but they are the two little girls that the queen gave to the Wang family in the early years, and now they are slim and slim, in recent years, with Zhu Changluo's status in the foreign dynasty has improved step by step, Wang's status in the palace has also risen, and the scene that no one cared about at the beginning is simply different, Jingyang Palace also has a lot of servants and maids, seeing Zhu Changluo stop, all kneeling and saluting.
"Get up, my mother?"
Looking at Ke'er's delicate little face, Zhu Changluo felt that his mood was also much better, and he took two steps forward and asked.
"Niangniang is in the palace, waiting for His Highness!"
The little girl was different from when she was a child, her face was flushed, and she replied in a low voice.
Zhu Changluo smiled and strode towards the palace.
"Brother is here, come in quickly, let my mother take a look!"
said that it was in the hall, but in fact, it was almost at the entrance of the hall, and as soon as Zhu Changluo entered the door, he saw the figure of the Wang family.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the ceremony could not be abolished, Zhu Changluo would never have doubted that the Wang family would have gone to the palace gate.
"Mother, my brother is back!"
Zhu Changluo stepped forward, held Wang's arm, and said softly.
Today, with Zhu Changluo's crown ceremony, his status has risen step by step, and no one dares to call him by this title anymore, not even Queen Wang, only Wang's biological mother, is still the same.
"Good, good, good, it's good to be back! Mother's brother is out! ”
Wang looked at Zhu Changluo carefully, and said with tears in his eyes for a while.
A few years ago, she would never have dared to think that her mother and son would be where they are today, and at that time, her mother and son were still suffering in the cold palace-like Jingyang Palace.
But now, everyone in the palace respects themselves, and the Wang family knows that this is all his son's ability, especially now, his son has become the crown prince......
"Mother......
Zhu Changluo was a little flustered all of a sudden, but Wang looked at him, couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said.
"Mother is happy, come, come, come in! Xiaoqiu, bring the pastries! ”
was pulled by the Wang family to sit down, but Zhu Changluo saw a familiar face......
