Section 414 Royal ...... Concubines
Seeing Bai Minghe's expression, Emperor Ming said in his heart that he had guessed wrong.
"Looks like I guessed wrong." Zhu Qiyu laughed heartily a few times, and said in his heart that it was not such a big deal, and it was necessary for Bai Minghe to ask for a solo, and he didn't plan to let people hear it.
"Long live, it's about the ...... of the Wang family in Meixian County" Bai Minghe only said this, Zhu Qiyu laughed, and stood up with a smile, because it was uncomfortable to sit there and laugh and press his stomach. He waved his hand and signaled that Bai Minghe didn't need to give a salute, just sit down on the chair over there.
Zhu Qiyu laughed for a while before saying, "Are you afraid that I will be unhappy, or are you afraid that the ministers will criticize." After all, the Wang family is also a big family! β
"Hooray, this matter makes it a little difficult for the minister to speak." Bai Minghe kept thinking about the way to speak, and selectively talked about Wan Xueer's theory.
It means that if you don't take a concubine now, you will have no face, after all, your status is not low.
There are no official concubines in the family, and Wan Xueer and others are not concubines or anything like that.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "You pet concubine has some knowledge!" β
From the meaning of Zhu Qiyu's words, Bai Minghe understood that Wan Xue'er didn't say half a lie, and he really didn't understand the moral standards of the Ming Dynasty at this time, whether it was the nobles or the people. At least in matters such as commoners and aristocrats, they are just relying on their imagination, or relying on the incorrect or incomplete theories of later TV dramas to support their own lifestyles.
"And what are your concerns?" Zhu Qiyu also became stricter.
"The minister is afraid, long live marrying the wang clan, you are not happy. Second, they are afraid that above the court, they will say that the ministers will form a party. "White Crane, this is telling the truth.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Speaking of getting married, you are already from the royal family." If you want to talk about bad rules, you are already a special case here. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no real official attached to the horse, and you also understand those false positions. It's just an official name, but it doesn't have a real job. So I don't care about that, but since you mentioned it, I have something to say. β
"Long live the command!"
"Let's talk about the hundred officials here first, the party or anything can't be on you. It's not so much about taking concubines, it's better to say that you accept disciples to make hundreds of officials nervous. It will also make me a little bit watching! β
Emperor Ming will definitely not say that he is nervous or anything like that, and he can say that he is already very strict when it comes to viewing notes.
Bai Minghe suddenly thought at this time that the matter of reading to Zhu Jianshen was suppressed by the Ming Emperor, I am afraid that it is because of this reason.
"The minister knew that he was wrong, and the minister changed his method and trained some brain-working, smart eunuchs. With them as teachers, those students are naturally the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and perhaps they will be divided into several factions in the future. But it won't have anything to do with ministers. β
"You're cautious."
"Don't dare!" Shira-naka stood up respectfully.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Don't mention this, I said I can trust you." Just talking about your concubine, I thought about it just now, and there are some good restrictions, Yuyao Xie's family is not suitable, because the Xie family is engaged in business, but the Xie family has no second grade in the court, but there are many above the fifth grade. You can't get married to such an official and businessman's family, especially the Xie family is still the head of the Hui businessmen! β
"I remember." The white name crane heart said. Fortunately, I came over and asked, Emperor Daming also has taboos here.
"Wang, scholarly family. Even though there are some shops, they still take reading and taking exams as their family motto, and the clan is based on agriculture and business. The four major branches of the Wang clan under the Great Tomorrow. Thirty-six main halls, those small branches, there are more Wang surnames who have not entered the main hall, so Mei County is Mei County. β
Bai Minghe nodded, and he married the merchant clan. It's definitely inappropriate, and I think so.
Because Da Ming is currently related to the sea trade, the amount of silver is huge, if he marries the Xie family, then there is a little bias in overseas trade, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to end if this rule is messed up.
"Besides, if you choose Yu Qian, or Hu Hui's granddaughter or the concubine of the family, I will also oppose it. Of course, it is estimated that you are not willing to be Yu Qian's children and nephews, or grandchildren. Zhu Qiyu's last sentence was a joke.
There is no need to make this clear, although Wang Wei is an old minister, he has little influence above the court.
Yu Qian is different, in terms of influence above the court, Yu Qian is only a big deal compared to the white crane. What did Bai Minghe want to do, under Yu Qian's strong opposition, Bai Minghe had to revise the plan at the very least, or even give it up directly.
And what Yu Qian wants to do, the biggest effect of Bai Minghe's opposition is to make Yu Qian modify the plan, but he can't make Yu Qian give up.
If Bai Minghe and Yu Qian join forces without gaps, this influence will be at least more than half of the court.
Emperor Daming understood what Bai Minghe meant, Bai Minghe took a concubine is a trivial matter, and this kind of thing is not worth Bai Minghe to come to ask for instructions. But Bai Minghe was still very happy to ask the Ming Emperor for instructions, and he also said the bottom limit, that is, above the Ming Dynasty, there should be a balance, whether it is him Bai Minghe or others, absolute power is impossible to appear.
The three Yangs of that year exceeded the bottom limit of the Ming Emperor.
And Empress Dowager Sun's methods are already taboo, which Emperor Ming will never allow.
As for saying that the white crane took the granddaughter of the Wang family of Meixian County as a concubine, and the Wang family of Meixian County added it to the white crane, which can barely be said to be the icing on the cake, and it is not a help. Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty didn't pay attention to it at all, so he definitely didn't guess in this aspect.
Bai Minghe also asked clearly, and also knew the bottom limit of the Ming Emperor.
It seems that Wan Xueer is really a treasure.
"Long live, there is another thing that the minister plans to go back to Nanjing. After leaving Beijing about ten days later, the ministers in the capital still had the extraterritorial intelligence of Dongchang and the two matters of Jinyiwei's supervision of patents, and they left Beijing after dealing with them. β
"It's a good thing that Jinyiwei supervises the patent, I plan to let Wang Quan be the commander of Jinyiwei, or pick one of Jinyiwei to be promoted, do you think that's good?" Zhu Qiyu also thought about it for many days and didn't make up his mind. And about Jinyiwei, he didn't plan to ask the cabinet, this was the emperor's private soldier.
Bai Minghe thought for a while and replied: "Long live, the one who can share your worries is a good courtier!" β
"It's sleek, but it's not wrong!" Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied with Bai Minghe's answer.
Bai Minghe had no choice but to continue: "Long live, most of the commanders of the Ming Jinyi Guard are the direct relatives of the queen or the noble concubine, and the ministers think that the direct relatives can be rewarded, but they may not be able to manage the Jinyi Guard. Jinyiwei is to do practical things, and it is a reliable Jinyiwei to be able to do things for Long Life, and there will be no hesitation without too much concern! β
Well said!
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Bai Minghe's second answer, and nodded very satisfied.
"Actually, some innocuous small mistakes can be ignored, just like the minister built a shop in the East District, those craftsmen built the house with great effort, and the house was built sturdy and beautiful, and there were some remnants at the end. These materials are also useless to the ministers, and they will take them when they take them. The difference is that some people will come first and take it without them, and some people will take it without asking. Of course, both of these ministers are acceptable. β
"What about the unacceptable?"
"After eating the minister's meal, you have to smash the minister's pot. If you don't work hard, but you are all worried about stealing materials, such a person can't be tolerated! β
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "This is reasonable, I heard it." β
At the moment, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty drafted his will.
gave Wang Quan an uninheritable title, and then gave up a qualification condition, allowing Jinyiwei to compete for the position internally, that is, to propose a new commander within Jinyiwei.
"Bai Minghe, what is the name of the cable from Beijing to Nanjing that you mentioned last time, can you get it up this year?" When Bai Minghe was about to leave, Zhu Qiyu thought about this matter again.
Bai Minghe hurriedly replied: "Long live, do your best." There are 2,000 miles from Nanjing to the capital, and the cable with such a thick arm is tens of thousands of stones just with copper, and it has to be drawn into a slender copper wire. This is very labor-intensive, but it must be erected, and the minister must get this, even if there are difficulties, they must face the difficulties. β
Shira-Naka Crane has left the palace.
Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty sat behind the imperial case and asked his new governor: "Great Wei, this white crane is a good courtier, what do you say you should reward?" β
"Hooray, let's reward a few more good ones. The last time the clan was enshrined, some princes were dissatisfied with Lord Bai. After this incident, I am afraid that they will dare to send someone to test it again. What's more, there are not a few people outside of Daming who want the life of Lord Bai! β
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly.
This is reasonable, the Queen Mother sent an assassin, and it's not okay, and Bai Minghe still has to go to ask for peace. Some people have been reduced to the year and have no ability, and the king of the county will naturally have some evil thoughts in his heart.
"You arrange it!" Zhu Qiyu felt a little tired, waved his hand and stopped talking.
"Slave command!"
This Wei Shaoqing's words killed three birds with one stone, and what he said was true, someone wanted to die in vain. Second, the Ming Emperor was also very concerned about the safety of the white crane. Of course, the third point is that many masters of the Forbidden Palace are too idle in the palace all day long, and the safety of the Forbidden Palace does not depend on a few masters.
The safety of the forbidden palace depends on the formation of soldiers, the accumulation of numbers and ordnance.
No matter how clever you are, a thousand crossbows, or two hundred muskets, you will never return.
Therefore, the master of the forbidden palace also has the intention of going out to run errands, and his skills are also useful, and his income is also rich.
The white crane returned to the house, and the backyard had already begun to pack his luggage.
Why do you say that you have to leave after ten days, official business is one thing, such a large mansion, so many people, it will take a long time to pack up, and many rooms are empty, and they must be sealed. For example, termite prevention, rat prevention, etc., all have to be done by hand.
In this way, ten days later, Bai Minghe officially set off for Beijing.
The sea breeze blew on his face, and some of the depressed moods in the capital were also relaxed. (To be continued......)
