Zhu Cixi returned to Nanjing to report on his work, and found that there had changed a lot.

The street scene in the city has not changed much, the Bao'en Temple outside the city has become the Zhongshan Temple, and Meizizhou not only has a polder, but also has built a stadium.

He went to the history department to report, and in two days he was able to confirm his new official position. The speed is so fast, it must be stained with the light of Concubine Tian and Concubine Zhu, otherwise you have to wait for the lack of arrangements slowly.

The new official position is the director of the Sichuan Long'an Prefecture History Bureau, responsible for the selection and transfer of state historians. In the Ming Dynasty, it was in charge of the six products of the history of the government.

The former prince of the dynasty is 33 years old, and now he is sitting in the sixth grade, which can be regarded as having some future. After all, in the past, there were many people in their thirties who were still in the imperial examination. It's just that Zhu Ci's upper limit is definitely not high, and he can do it from the third grade, who makes his identity so sensitive? {10

Zhu Ciniang was allowed to enter the palace, but she didn't dare to visit Concubine Tian, and it was a little awkward to go.

"Minister Zhu Ciniang, meet Concubine Zhu Niangniang." Zhu Ciniang's greeting was very formal. The title of the new dynasty of Datong basically follows the Ming Dynasty.

For the title of concubine, it is a certain concubine and a certain mother. If you are already dead, you will be called + surname + Niangniang, or nickname + old + Niangniang. Zhu Ni was very happy, and said with a smile: "Brother doesn't have to be polite, sit down!"

"Thank you for giving me a seat." Zhu Ciniang was a little restrained.

Zhu Ni asked, "Has my brother's official shortage been filled?" Zhu Ci said: "It's made up, it's six products, and the Long'an Mansion History Bureau is correct."

"The history bureau is good, and it is in charge of people," Zhu Ni asked with a smile, "Where is Long'an Mansion?"

Zhu Cixu said: "Sichuan."

Zhu Ni smiled: "Sichuan is good, the land of abundance."

"By the grace of Your Majesty." Zhu Cizhu didn't explain too much, Long'an Mansion is located in the north of Sichuan, that is, Pingwu, Qingchuan, and Jiangyou.

What a country of abundance, very poor!

The brother and sister haven't seen each other for a long time, and after a few words of greeting, they can't find a topic. 1

Zhu Ci looked left and right, there was a palace maid in the house, and couldn't help asking, "Sister...... How is the mother?"

Zhu Nenni smiled brightly: "I am very good, the sisters in the palace take care of me." gave birth to a son and a daughter, and he was also smart and clever. Last time my younger brother entered the palace, I asked him to send silver to my brother, did my brother receive it?"

Zhu Ciniang said: "I received it, the postman sent the silver to the province, and the province delivered the official document to me together." From Zhu Nenni's smile, it can be seen that she is really happy.

There is indeed intrigue in the harem, but it is basically not revealed, and it is relatively harmonious on the whole. 3

And even if it is a palace fight, it can't fight on Zhu Nenni, let alone on the princesses of Brunei and Portugal. With the identities of these three, even if the queen died suddenly, the emperor was favored by them, and it was impossible to have any more promotions in titles.

Let's put it this way, unless all the other princes and grandsons are dead, the sons of the three of them will have a chance to succeed to the throne.

After chatting for a while, for a total of half an hour, Zhu Ciniang got up and left. He is a foreign minister, and he can be allowed to visit relatives in the harem, which is already the emperor's grace, and it is really inconvenient to stay for too long.

The female official and the palace maid took Ruo Zhu Ci out of the harem, and there were guards and carriages waiting for him, sending him out of the Forbidden City all the way. When I passed by the cabinet, I happened to meet the prince's car.

The carriage in which Zhu Ci was riding stopped far away to avoid it. He hurriedly got off the station and saluted the prince's car, and the taste in his heart was a little complicated. (11 Before he could think of it, the prince got out of the car there, and recognized him at a glance.

Zhao Kuanghuan walked up quickly, arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be the elder brother of the Zhu family, I said goodbye last time, I haven't seen you for a long time." "Don't dare," Zhu Ciniang hurriedly pulled, "Minister Zhu Ciniang, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Kuanghuan said with a smile: "You don't have to be formal, I still remember that when I was a child, you taught me to climb trees and catch cicadas, and more than ten years have passed in a flash." Zhu Cihuan also laughed: "I didn't know anything when I was young." i 3

The two of them didn't have anything to say, so they said goodbye after a few words. Zhao Han, like Zhu Yuanzhang, is really good to the prince.

At first, Zhao Kuanghuan was allowed to read the cabinet bills, and he was also allowed to sit in on every imperial meeting. Now he goes directly to the cabinet to observe the government, and he can sit next to a cabinet minister and watch how the cabinet ministers work. If the prince was sitting next to him, the ministers would review the official documents and explain to the prince why he should do so.

The ministers did not bother with it, but enjoyed it, because when they explained, they could instill their own ideas of governance to the prince. 1 Zhao Kuanghuan came to the cabinet and first went to visit the cabinet ministers.

Those who have a more intimate relationship, such as Fei Chun, can also joke with the prince.

In order to "get wet with rain and dew", Zhao Kuanghuan learned from different ministers every day. Today it is Wu Yingji's turn, Wu Ge's office speed is extremely fast, and the speed of speaking is also fast, explaining while moving the pen. The content goes straight to the point, there is basically no nonsense, and the key is said in a few words

"Uhhhh......h

Zhao Kuanghuan hurriedly read the content, and after only reading the first few paragraphs, his expression became wonderful.

There is a Ministry of Rites, Shangshu asked Kan to determine the address of the imperial mausoleum, and also said that the Ministry of Industry should design and build the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible.

This is a very normal thing, and the imperial tomb should be built in advance. Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum was started in the 14th year of Hongwu. Zhu Di's mausoleum was started in the seventh year of Yongle, and he often went to his cemetery to wander around, and personally renamed the mountain "Tianshou Mountain".

Several years ago, the ministers suggested that the imperial tomb be surveyed, and all these pieces were left by Zhao Han, and no minister mentioned this matter for a long time. Now it suddenly appeared again, as if he was afraid that Zhao Han would suddenly die.

Wu Yingji thought about it carefully, and wrote in red pen on the ticket paper: "Submit it to Your Majesty for approval."

He couldn't make decisions on behalf of the cabinet with this thing, so he asked a Chinese scholar to show Zhang Bingwen next door. Zhang Bingwen also wrote "Submit to His Majesty for approval", and then the music continued to circulate in the cabinet.

The next day, Zhao Han took it in his hand, glanced at it casually, and Zhu criticized: "Stay in the middle."

After a few more days, a regular pre-imperial meeting.

Chen Maosheng estimated that he was publicly pushed out by the ministers and took the initiative to talk about the matter: "Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and the mausoleum is not in a hurry to build. However, the address of the imperial mausoleum is related to the national movement and must be surveyed in advance. In the vicinity of Nanjing, the best feng shui is the Purple Mountain. But there is already a Ming filial piety mausoleum there, will it be taboo? If you don't commit a taboo, where should you choose Purple Mountain? If I don't choose the Purple Mountain, where is the appropriate place for the imperial tomb of my Datong Dynasty?"

This is not to choose a mausoleum for Zhao Han alone, but to choose a tomb for all the emperors of the Datong Dynasty in the future. 2_

Zhao Han said angrily: "Just bury the Purple Mountain, feng shui doesn't matter, the main thing is that it is close to the capital, and it will be convenient to build a grave and bury it in the future." Saying that, Zhao Han suddenly smiled and said, "What is your expression, the saint respects ghosts and gods and stays away, and I also respect feng shui and stays away." The dragon veins of the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty were created by digging coal every day, and I didn't see the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty saying that the feng shui was broken. ”1

Chen Maosheng said: "There is a saying in the people's question, the previous Ming Dynasty continued to suffer, and in the end, the army was defeated and the country was destroyed, that is, the coal was dug and moved by feng shui."

Chen Maosheng is the most persistent, but he still believes in feng shui and ghosts. He felt that the imperial tomb should be carefully selected in order to keep Datong forever. ，13

Zhao Han joked: "Fortunately, our country is not settled in Beijing, otherwise there will be coal digging everywhere, and a few shovels will be unstable." The ministers were speechless, they felt that this matter was very serious, but the emperor did not have a straight face.

Zhao Han suddenly restrained his smile: "The imperial tomb is set at the eastern foot of Zijin Mountain, there should be no disturbance to the people." Fei Chun asked, "Then Is the location of His Majesty's mausoleum also determined?"

Zhao Han shook his head: "I won't bury it there."

The ministers looked at each other, Zhao Han chose the location of the imperial mausoleum for the Datong Dynasty, but what did he mean by not burying the Purple Mountain?

Zhu Shunshui thought that Zhao Han was going to build a super-scale mausoleum, so he hurriedly advised: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has been benevolent and loving the people, and everything has been simple and ......"1

"Stop," Zhao Han didn't wait for Zhu Shunshui to finish speaking, "I don't value those, and I won't learn from Qin Shi Huang." "Then Your Majesty means ......," Liu Ziren couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Han stood up suddenly, and said abruptly: "Qin Shi Huang took the entire Lishan Mountain as a mausoleum, and Lei Mengde built countless doubtful mounds. In my opinion, it's too petty. I want to take the sky as my bed, the earth as my mausoleum, and the sun, moon, mountains and rivers as my tomb!"

What does it mean? 1

The ministers were completely confused, saying that they did not understand.

Zhao Kuanghuan looked at his father in a daze, although he didn't know what it meant, but he seemed to be very powerful. 5

Zhao Han didn't explain at all, and he didn't need to explain, he only said: "Since you are in a hurry, then I will also arrange the arrangements." The Ministry of Industry ordered 30 large stone tablets to be built in Nanjing, Shanghai, Dengzhou, Lanzhou, Manila, and Malacca. One large piece, twenty-nine small pieces. The monument is twelve feet high, five feet wide, and one and a half feet thick. The small stele is nine feet high, three feet wide, and one foot thick, so don't engrave the inscription for the time being. The number of these steles is definitely not enough, and I will build a batch when I am dying. At that time, I will tell you where the stele should be, and what it should carve on. ”

The more the ministers listened, the more confused they became, and they simply stopped asking, anyway, this emperor has a lot of tricks, and they can't figure it out for the rest of their lives_ Zhao Han's idea is very simple, before he dies, where the territory expands, where his tombstone is.

The ashes and the dragon robe were burned together, the ashes were divided into nine parts, eight border lands and Nanjing were selected, and the ashes were scattered on the ground to plant trees, so that they were not afraid of being dug up and whipped by people. ’

Thirty large stone tablets were erected at each place where the ashes were scattered.

On the front of the main monument is written "Datong Mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Republic of China", and on the back is written "Yongzhen River Mountain". Twenty-nine small tablets, all engraved with the content of the "Great Harmony Collection", not a single word is allowed to be changed. 36

Everywhere in the stele forest, the people are allowed to worship.

Especially in the Forest of Steles in Nanjing, while the people were sweeping the emperor's tomb, they could also review the "Datong Collection" by the way!,17 It was a very outrageous plan, but Zhao Han felt very cool.

Even if the Datong Dynasty was overthrown, the old Zhao family would no longer rule China. After the change of dynasty, the sons and daughters of China will still come to worship him, and the mention of Zhao Han, the emperor, is full of style.
