Chapter 227: Brother and Sister

In the first year of the first year, on the fourth day of the fifth month, it is appropriate to marry and mourn, and it is forbidden to move.

With the inauguration of Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and Zuo Guangdou, the governor of Liaodong, since the end of the New Year, the hustle and bustle of Beijing has finally gradually calmed down. The streets of the capital once again returned to prosperity, and the people's initial worries gradually turned into unanimous praise for Emperor Yaoqi.

When crossing the city gate, there are no more soldiers collecting money indiscriminately, and of course tax money is still indispensable. When setting up a stall, there are no thugs to peel the skin, and if one appears, he will be arrested quickly. Originally, the eyes were fast, but now they are polite when they see it, and they will patrol the streets every time. Walking on the street, buying things and giving money, I also smiled and greeted when I saw it. Of course, whether it is handed over to Jinyiwei, or handed over to Dongchang, or handed over to the yamen, these are still there.

It's just that now the vendors can do business with peace of mind and won't be disturbed, so many people are already content.

The life of the people in the capital is much better, and it seems that there is already a prosperous era of Xiaoping, and many people hope that Emperor Yaoqi will continue to work hard, and truly do not leave the road behind and do not close the door at night.

The officialdom of the capital is not in such a good state, and the Jingcha ordered by Emperor Yaoqi has slowly unfolded. Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, the scholar of the cabinet, and Ying Zhen, the secretary of the criminal department, entered the various yamen in the capital and began to investigate. Anyone who embezzles money is to be ordered to return the embezzled money, impose some fines, and resign and return to his hometown. The officials with serious circumstances were not too embarrassed, and they just forgot about the house. Only then if the circumstances are particularly heinous and those involved in the murder case will be severely punished in accordance with the Ming Law.

Everything outside is going on in an orderly manner, but the atmosphere in the Forbidden City is a little tense, and Emperor Yaoqi is not in a very good mood. There was no smile on every child's face, but he didn't get angry, which had already silenced the palace.

However, a recent incident made Emperor Yaoqi's mood better, because Emperor Yaoqi's extremely favored Concubine Lan was about to give birth. The entire Forbidden City was busy with this matter, but there was nothing to do with the Emperor of Yaoqi, everything was arranged. Seeing Empress Zhang's resentful eyes, Emperor Yaoqi was helpless!

Gently fiddling with the wooden products in his hand, Emperor Yaoqi couldn't help but be a little amazed. It is a woodbird with exquisite workmanship, and as long as the tail is pulled, the wings of the woodbird will swing up and down, and the head will be raised high.

Looking at the eldest princess Zhu Wanjun on the side, Emperor Yaoqi smiled indifferently, only when he was here, he could forget the unhappiness in his heart. Handing over the wooden bird to Zhu Wanjun, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "This thing is already very old, why do you still keep it?" Although the workmanship is good, there is nothing unusual. ”

Holding the wooden bird in his arms, Zhu Wanjun glared at Emperor Yaoqi fiercely, and said quite unhappily: "Back then, the emperor's grandfather didn't like his father, and several of us were also implicated, and life was not easy. It's the same princess and princess, they have all kinds of gifts for their birthdays, but we don't have anything. ”

Seeing the pitiful words of Zhu Wanjun, Emperor Yaoqi sighed and said with a smile: "Don't say it so pitifully, it won't be in the future, I will give you what a princess should have." You are the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, the most noble female in the world! ”

Leaning his head on the shoulder of Emperor Yaoqi, Zhu Wanjun said with a smile: "I remember that it was my fifth birthday, and I didn't receive any gifts except for the longevity noodles made by the queen mother. But at that time, the royal brother gave me a gift, the most precious gift in the world. The royal brother handed over this wooden bird to me, which was made by the imperial brother himself, and it took three whole months, and I was very happy at that time, and it was the happiest death since I grew up so much. ”

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi didn't speak, Zhu Wanjun continued: "At that time, I was not sensible, but I knew that it was only the imperial brother who did it, and I didn't know the hard work of the imperial brother. Later, when I grew up, I heard that it took the imperial brother three months to make this thing. If you are not satisfied with it once, the royal brother will dismantle and redo it, and if you are not satisfied, you will redo it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Wanjun's eyes were a little red, but she still smiled, and that smile looked very distressing. Glancing at Emperor Yaoqi, Zhu Wanjun continued: "Later, I heard from Kebaba that in order to make this thing, the imperial brother's hand was injured countless times. Gently picking up Emperor Yaoqi's hand and stroking the scars on it, Zhu Wanjun looked up at Emperor Yaoqi and asked with a smile: "These scars were left at that time, right?" ”

Emperor Yaoqi did not speak, since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he has always wanted to be an emperor and change the country. Looking at Zhu Wanjun's immature face, Emperor Yaoqi felt that he had overlooked a lot of things for the first time.

"Brother Huang didn't say it, I also knew that it was left at that time, Kebaba told me. The royal brother shed tears while making this wooden bird, and the imperial brother said: "I don't have the ability, I don't please the emperor's grandfather, and everyone will be implicated." said that he was useless, and as an older brother, he couldn't even give a decent gift to his sister! Speaking of this, Zhu Wanjun suddenly burst into tears and couldn't cry.

Holding Zhu Wanjun in his arms, gently patting her back, Emperor Yaoqi whispered: "Okay, okay, the hard days are over!" Brother Huang is now the emperor and can buy you the best gift! ”

Gently wiping away her tears, Zhu Wanjun shook her head vigorously, and said with a firm face: "In my heart, the most precious thing is this wooden bird, and there is no gift that can compare to it." No matter how precious a gift is, I am not rare. Looking up at Emperor Yaoqi, Zhu Wanjun smiled and said, "In fact, in my brother and I hearts, you have always been my best brother!" It was, it is. ”

Looking at Zhu Wanjun, who was smiling, Emperor Yaoqi asked suspiciously: "I used to see you giggling, very happy, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts!" ”

"I'm not small, I know everything. Ever since I learned about this wooden bird, I felt that I couldn't show cowardice, and I had to be happy every time I died. The royal brother is already very difficult, and I will never let the imperial brother worry! Raising her little head arrogantly, Zhu Wanjun said with a coquettish face.

Looking at Zhu Wanjun with great emotion, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "It's really sensible, so how can you tell the imperial brother about this now?" ”

"Brother Huang is now the emperor, although he is busy every time, but Bi Jing is different from before. At that time, the palace maids and eunuchs bullied me, who dares now? I'm the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty! The most noble woman in the world! Of course, in addition to the queen mother, there is also the royal sister-in-law! All right! From now on, I will be the third most noble woman in my birth, and whoever dares to provoke me, I will spank his ass! Standing up, Zhu Wanjun kept jumping and jumping in the yard!

His Royal Highness King Xin on the side was a little puzzled, although he knew some things, but he still didn't remember many things clearly. However, when he heard Zhu Wanjun shouting there, he also ran over and shouted loudly: "I am the second most noble male in the world, male in!" ”

Looking at the scene in front of him with a smile, Emperor Yaoqi suddenly felt a lot more stable in his heart, and his irritable mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Your Majesty, are you going back? There's a lot more to deal with ahead! Coming to Emperor Yaoqi's side, Wang Chengen said cautiously. In fact, he didn't want to say this, but Emperor Yaoqi had already brought most of the children here, and the previous twists and turns hadn't been dealt with a little!

Nodding slowly, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "It's o!" It's time to go back! ”

"Let the eldest princess and King Xin go back early, and tell them that they are coming over after a few years!" Looking at Zhu Wanjun's maid, Emperor Yaoqi commanded lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The slave and maid know, Your Majesty can rest assured! The maid bowed to Emperor Yaoqi and said respectfully.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yaoqi felt that it was a little depressing, sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Yaoqi couldn't help but look at Xu Hongru and Hao Chongming, and he didn't know how things were going!

When Emperor Yaoqi was worried in the palace, a group of horses on the Mongolian steppes were hurrying. The number of entries in one line is not much, about 500 or so, but the costumes of these entries are different from those here. They are all wearing armor and riding on tall horses. Looking at the team flying by, Mongol was not surprised, because this was the Eight Banners of their ally Jurchen Jin.

At the head of the line was Nurhachi's son, Huang Taiji, one of the four great beylers. Looking at the surrounding tribes, Huang Taiji frowned slightly, and kept thinking about what he should do on this trip. Although Daikin and Horqin have a marriage, this marriage is not strong, and having common interests is the key to ensuring the greatness of the covenant. Between Dajin and Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Tribe, there were many tribes, except for the four Yehe tribes that were swallowed by Dajin and supported by the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the tribes were led by the Horqin Tribe.

However, in the Horqin tribe, there are many leaders, and now the highest status is Horqin Taigu Oba, who is the patriarch of the entire Horqin tribe. In the Horqin tribe, there are many people who have the title of Taigu, and the highest status is Oba.

Huang Taiji's current Dafujin is Zhezhe, the daughter of Manggu Stegu of the Horqin Department, Manggus is the most supportive of Huang Taiji, and he also hopes that Huang Taiji can inherit the throne of the Great Khan. Now Huang Taiji is going to his father-in-law's house, although he has an alliance with the Horqin Ministry, but if the negotiation is not good, it is easy to have a situation where he cannot work.

The stakes are high, and we can't afford to make a mistake, or we won't be able to recover. At this time, Huang Taiji did not allow any accidents to happen, and the first thing he had to do was to gain the support of his father-in-law.
