112 [The Prince's Heart]

The three 'inner nine gates' riverside streets in the south of the city are divided into east and west by gates, such as Chongwenmen East and West Riverside Streets, Zhengyangmen East and Xihe Streets and Xuanwumen East and Xihe Streets, all of which are prosperous places in the south of the city.

The narrow slope along the West River is mostly a place where private prostitutes gather, in addition to the West River, there are grassland courtyards, and the wall roots of the West Tile Factory are all places where private prostitutes gather in Beijing. This street that runs across the south of the city runs through the east and west doors, and the corridors along the street are lined up one after another, not only shops, but also private houses.

Not only that, but the hawkers who walk the streets and set up stalls are even more indiscriminate, and the merchants also rise to the façade, and the strong beams are even more elevated platforms, making the streets that are not spacious and narrow.

Although the city has a general plan, such as the houses on both sides of the street, it is generally limited to the official ditch and must not be exceeded, otherwise it is also a violation. However, it is a common phenomenon for residential houses to encroach on the streets, which will inevitably bring many hidden dangers: the official ditch is blocked, and if it is rainy, it is very easy to swell the street; Or the virtual eaves of the dwellings are connected by the eaves, and there is no brick wall to separate them, which is very prone to fire...... The list goes on and on.

There are nearly 100,000 households in Beijing, and there are many people from all over the world, and the urbanization process is intensifying, but the urban management has not kept up with the pace of development. Moreover, the Nancheng Terracotta Division is still south of Caishi Street, and to manage a huge area of Nancheng, there is a lack of staffing alone, let alone effective management of the market.

Therefore, the expansion of Heyan Street is not only for the convenience of access to the racecourse, but also to improve the business, living environment and travel ability in the south of the city little by little, so as to adapt to economic development.

Of course, charity must always be named, and the royal family must come forward to have appeal. The fundraising was approved by Emperor Yongming, and a call for unveiling posts was posted at the three city gates and donation boxes were set up, and the peddlers and pawns who came and went could donate money, regardless of how much.

Now it is lively, the donation box at each city gate is guarded by a small soldier, and the people who gather around the donation box every day are most keen to guess how much money has been increased?

They are so keen to discuss, or because of the arrogant flag set by Wu Yan: she will donate as much as the people donate, and there is no upper limit until bankruptcy!

This is very much like fighting a bloody battle to the end plus buying a horse, although the emphasis is on participation, but the hall is also very wild, and then there is no cap, if you accidentally click a cannon three times, the full one can not be full, then ...... It's a lot.

The bloody battles of the people around Wu Yan were all taught by her, the so-called church apprentices, starving to death masters, she is the practitioner of this sentence. Because every time she gathers mahjong, she always plays the role of a fortune boy.

Every day, the donation box at the gate of the city is the most lively, and even beggars have to donate a penny every day, not to mention others. The Jesuits in Nantang fulfilled their promise and donated a one-time donation of 20,000 taels of silver for the construction of the road. This is not a small amount, you must know that the annual income of Zhuang Tian in Qianqing Palace is only 20,000 taels.

There is also the queen of the middle palace, who donated 5,000 taels of money at one time, and the masters of each palace saw that the queen had donated, so they naturally refused to be left behind, and they donated 32,000 taels one after another, and Wu Guifei donated 4,000 taels of silver. In addition, there are princes and princesses, Emperor Yongming donated 5,000 taels, Fu Wang Ye 4,000 taels, Wu Conghai 4,000 taels, cabinets, courtiers, and internal officials also donated more or less......

In this way, all the donations add up to 150,000 taels. Wu Yan naturally had to fulfill his promise and also took out 150,000 taels of private money, so that the money for road construction quickly made up 300,000 taels.

Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest lady of the Wu family is wealthy...... It is a good thing to have abundant wealth, but no one in the housekeepers of the various families considered marrying this wealthy and hard-headed lady of the Wu family home. They feel that a daughter-in-law who is too capable cannot be controlled by her in-laws.

In addition to the equality of identity and status, there is also the equality of property, and the status of a woman in her mother-in-law's family largely depends on the richness of the dowry. A family marriage is like a joint venture, and it is only fair and reasonable to contribute 50% of the shares each.

It's just that Wu Yan needs to consolidate his family status through marriage? Apparently not. Her difference is not that she can be an official, businessman, and socialize like a man, but that she can be her own master.

There are many women in this world who do not rely on men to support themselves, but no one dares to say that they can be their own masters. In a clan society, the family provides shelter for the individual, and on the contrary, it naturally demands that the interests of the individual be subordinated to the interests of the family, which is especially evident in the female members.

Wu Yan was already a female household (daughter household) before entering the palace, and in a desperate family without a male heir, the woman was the head of the family, and she only needed to pay the regular tax and was exempt from miscellaneous labor.

It can also be seen that the establishment of a female household has a great relationship with property, and after a woman becomes a female household, the biggest problem is the problem of survival, and of course, the female household can also choose to marry again.

[Zhou Li, Diguan, Matchmaker] Youyun: Men marry at thirty, and women marry at twenty...... Wu Yan is 17 this year, 18 years old, and is only two years away from the latest age of marriage.

Wu Conghai is naturally anxious as a father, but Wu Yan has entered the palace and become a court lady, so it stands to reason that he can't make decisions about marriage, but in special circumstances like her, only the emperor can be the master in the world, but the emperor may not want to be her master......

Being able to control one's own freedom to marry is the greatest independence. However, her existence is an individual phenomenon and does not have universal significance.

There is heaven and earth and then there are all things, there are all things and then there are men and women, there are men and women and then there are husbands and wives, there are husbands and wives and then there are fathers and sons, there are fathers and sons and then there are kings and ministers, there are kings and ministers and then there are up and down, there are up and down and then there are etiquette mistakes.

The wedding party will be good for the two surnames, and the upper will be the temple and the lower will be the successor to the future generations, so the importance of the gentleman is ...... The same is true of the royal descendants.

Emperor Yongming finally made a decision in his heart, and that night, he went to Kunning Palace...... The harem would be lit up every night in order to wait for the arrival of the emperor. If the emperor is fortunate to be in a certain palace, the palace lamp will fall in the palace, but the horn lamp of this palace will be on.

So in Kunning Palace this night, the horn lamp was lit until dawn......

The next day, the emperor left, and no one in the entire Kunning Palace was overjoyed...... Three days later, Emperor Yongming issued an edict to establish a prince.

The edict said: Since ancient times, the emperor has established heaven and earth, supported the return of the region, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, a Mianzong Society without borders, I should continue, sleep all night, look up to the ancestor Mo Lie Zhao, entrust to the heavy, inherit the celebration, and end in Yuanliang. The eldest son, Zhu Jianyang, is a Japanese and talented man...... Carry the ceremony, bow down to public opinion, and tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community. On November 25, the ninth year of Yongming, he was awarded a book of treasures, established as the crown prince, and was in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas......

Since then, the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu dynasty have been succeeded by others.

Since the edict was issued, the elders and ministers of the DPRK and China all breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fell into the big stone in their hearts.

Not only the minister, but the queen and queen have prayed sincerely day and night for many years, and now that it has finally come true, her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and she only feels that she has no regrets in this life.

Zhu Jianyang is as always, it is reasonable, and the expected thing is that he is still as gentle and elegant as before. Now that the status is established, then the next ...... It is to officially marry the beloved girl in my heart, Xie Caiqing.

In the warm pavilion of Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Xie and Queen Wang were discussing the matter, and Zhu Jianyang came to ask for peace, although it was no different from the past, but between his demeanor and words, he still revealed his heart.

The Queen Mother and the Queen looked at each other and smiled, there was nothing they didn't understand.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has promised to renovate the Ciqing Palace and change it into the Imperial Palace," Queen Wang said with a smile.

"Okay, do you remember that there seems to be a garden in that area? It's better to take good care of it while this happens, and a variety of pear trees, which I like the most. ”

"What the imperial grandmother said is that there is indeed a garden, and the garden used to be the Chuan Fang Palace. And the grandson has been on the emperor, not only to repair, but also to rebuild the Fang Palace. ”

Empress Dowager Xie smiled slightly: "That's fine, the second child is about to move out, right?" The third child has not yet reached the age of opening the mansion, and I am afraid that he will have to grind in the palace for a few years. The prince is kind-hearted, your brothers and friends are respectful, and the mourning family is very pleased. ”

"Since the grandson is the elder brother, he naturally has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, even if the second and third brothers move out in the future, won't there be younger brothers?" Zhu Jianyang said with a smile again.

Empress Dowager Xie couldn't help but quip: "Prince, you just came today to talk to the mourning family and your queen mother about the Fang Palace?" ”

"How can it......" Zhu Jianyang was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and a trace of shame flew over his face: "Grandson is... I just want to ......"

"Okay, okay, look at you like this," Queen Wang covered her mouth and smiled: "Who can't see your thoughts?" Your Imperial Grandmother and I are talking. Now that the envoy has just set off, it will take seven or eight days at the earliest, even by land, right? ”

Empress Dowager Xie laughed and said angrily: "What seven or eight days? You're a mother, and you're not a big deal. That's when I started to ask for names, and there were Najib and Nazheng in the back, and when it was over, I invited the date, Jiao ring, and then greeted ...... Even if it takes more than half a year at the earliest, you have to wait, prince. ”

"Hehe, what the queen mother said is, didn't the daughter-in-law say that the envoy went to Nanjing, and it will take ten days and half a month to spread the word over there, just to see that the prince is in a hurry."

"Hmph, it's useless to be anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"Haha...... Queen Wang couldn't help but laugh happily: "That's right... Prince, you really can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! ”

Zhu Jianyang was helpless, so he had to joke with her. Of course, he knew that it would take a long time, and even if his heart was hot, he had to wait patiently.

The crown prince and concubine are also a national event, and they should be celebrated by the whole world.

Now three things go hand in hand: one is to expand the road, the second is to repair the East Palace, and the third is to marry the crown princess.

I think that in June and July next year, when the future crown princess arrives in Beijing, everything is ready, and by then, the capital will definitely be lively again.
