101. The majestic eight-sided town of the country
When Xu Huizu heard the word from someone who came, he stood up Mu Ran, kowtowed a few times to Xu Da's spiritual position, and went out to receive the order together with Xu Da's spiritual position.
Seeing the tall and young Cheng Yuan, Xu Huizu was obviously stunned, this is the young man who followed Zhu Di, just looking at his face, he is indeed majestic and magnificent, and he is worthy of being the first prince of the Yongle Dynasty.
"The criminal minister Xu Huizu has seen the Duke of Zhenguo."
Cheng Yuan nodded, and first arched his hand at Xu Da's spiritual position to show his respect.
Walking in front of Xu Huizu, he glanced at the people in the Xu family's big house, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's dictation!" ”
Xu Huizu didn't speak, just stood.
"The criminal Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin helped me to survive Jianwen's killing, but you repeatedly helped Jianwen to put me to death. I won't do anything unbenevolent, I don't want the queen to be sad and blame herself, you can be loyal to Jianwen, and you can also be loyal to me if you increase your life.
I Zhu Di won't kill you, and I won't embarrass you for anything, think about it behind closed doors, and leave if you are willing to leave. ”
After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xu Huizu was stunned, he didn't understand why Zhu Di didn't dispose of him, and even kept the title of Duke of Wei for him.
But what kind of face does he have to meet Zhu Di and his eldest sister.
Xu Zengshou, who was directing people to move things, was also stunned, but he didn't expect the Xu family to be safe, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Zengshou doesn't blame his eldest brother, in the final analysis, their blood is thicker than water, not to mention that everyone has their own choices and loyalty.
He is loyal to Yongle, and Xu Hui is loyal to Jianwen.
…………………………
Fengtian Temple.
The officials were listed first, and the officials of the Literature and Anthology Department provided a lot of lists of civil servants, although they had already been registered on the number of days, there were still many officials who wanted Zhu Di to be appointed and dismissed.
Subsequently, the household department reported to Zhu Di the population, acres of land, harvest of previous years, and the taxes of Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places in the past two years because of the military disaster, as well as the disaster.
Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Rites reported in detail on the funeral etiquette arrangements for Emperor Jianwen and the crown prince.
And Yang Xianzhi and they are also responsible for urging Zhu Di to take Princess Yan and the prince over as soon as possible to worship in the filial piety tomb.
Although it has been canonized in name, it has not arrived, so many ceremonies have not begun.
The Ministry of Rites must be responsible for urging.
Zhu Di said: "The queens are already in Yingtian, and they are rushing overnight, they should arrive in these two days, and the Ministry of Rites does not need to urge." ”
"Obey."
Princess Huaiqing was submissive to Zhu Di because of her concubine Wang Ning, and Wang Ning was crowned as the commander of the concubine and named Yongchunhou.
The inner servant announced the decree, and announced that Jing Qing, a prisoner of the Criminal Department, went to the palace, and let Jing Qing serve as the imperial doctor.
Cheng Yuan was shocked, didn't this Jingqing follow Lian Zining and Chen Di to be executed together, how could they avoid death?
Jing Qing's original surname is Geng, the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he was awarded Hanlin to edit and revise the imperial history, and Jianwen was sent to Beiping to supervise Zhu Di at the beginning of Jianwen.
Because of his talent and clear speech, Zhu Di values him very much.
Unexpectedly, Jing Qing was released again.
Cheng Yuan always felt that something was wrong, and he always felt very familiar with this Jingqing.
After a while, he was going to ask Ji Gang.
Zhu Di said: "There is one more thing, that is, in the future of the Ming Dynasty, only one person can wear the azure cloud brocade robe, and the same is true for the official robe, only Zhenguo Gong."
Therefore, the cyan official robes of the fifth to seventh grades were replaced with other colors. ”
As soon as Zhu Di's will came out, the officials in the class discussed a lot, and this cyan color is now about to become a high-ranking color.
This town prince wears a single color, just like the vermilion and bright yellow robes can only be used by the royal family.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that the first to fourth grades wore scarlet robes, the fifth to seventh grades, and green robes, and the eighth and ninth grades, and the officials who did not enter the stream wore variegated colors.
But in the future, the Ming Dynasty will only allow Zhenguo Gong to wear a cyan cloud brocade robe, which is Zhu Di's honor to honor.
Zhu Di waved his hand, and the chamberlain walked up to Cheng Yuan with a wooden tray, the clothes on it were made of cyan silk, and the official robe was a unicorn.
The officials' eyes were full of surprise and envy.
This kind of glory is rare for them to encounter once in their lives, and Cheng Yuan did it at a young age.
Everyone was not jealous, after all, they had heard that in the past two years of Jingnan, what this Zhenguo Gong had done was enough to deserve this glory.
When the dynasty was dispersed, Xie Jin caught up and said, "Thank you Zhenguo Gong for your support." ”
Cheng Yuan looked at the polite Xie Jin, and said lightly: "Xie Shiyu, you don't have to be polite, your talent is obvious to all." ”
Yang Rong said: "Zhen Guogong, when you move another day, you will definitely call someone Yang." ”
Chen Ying of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also said: "Zhen Guogong, can you have a small gathering today?" ”
Originally, he wanted to go to Zhu Di to ask about Jingqing, but Ji Gang said that he would discuss with Cheng Yuan about the Nanbei Suppression, and go back to the Zhenguo Mansion with him to talk about it.
Zhenguo Mansion is the mansion of King Yan of Zhu Di Hongwu Dynasty before, a few days ago craftsmen renovated and built a new one overnight, and there are stones and timber piled up in the yard.
Yang Xian came here to supervise the renovation of the craftsmen, originally he had to rely on the imperial examination, and he had to struggle for many years to achieve the position of Shangshu.
Now relying on Cheng Yuan, he has easily become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is even more grateful to Cheng Yuan, and he does his best.
"Shi Kai, go and prepare some tea for Commander Ji." Cheng Yuan commanded.
Ji Gang hurriedly waved his hand, he had power because of Zhu Di, but Cheng Yuan was a person who had a lot to do with Zhu Di, and he also knew the high and low.
"Xiao Ji? Didn't Jing Qing want to be executed with Lian Zining and them, why was he acquitted and released again, and he also made the imperial history? ”
When Cheng Yuan dispersed, he remembered that Jing Qing had been released by Zhu Di, and then Jing Qing hid a dagger in his clothes in an early dynasty and assassinated Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was vigilant, and the assassination was not successful, and Jing Qing was beheaded.
Ji Gang said: "Because when Jing Qing was executed, he suddenly said that he was willing to submit to His Majesty, and His Majesty had also expressed his appreciation for Jing Qing before, so the Criminal Department left Jing Qing at the end, and His Majesty was pardoned yesterday and let Jing Qing serve as the imperial historian." ”
"I see."
"What doubts does Zhen Guogong have, is it Jingqing?"
Cheng Yuan shook his head and only persuaded: "Let Your Majesty be careful of Jingqing." ”
"I told Your Majesty, but what can Jing Qing and a civil official do, they can't turn the wind and waves." Ji Gang felt that Cheng Yuan was making a big fuss, but he didn't dare to offend Zhen Guogong.
Yesterday, Xu Zengshou moved to a new house, and today he entertained guests in Yingtian's restaurant, Cheng Yuan asked about Zhu Yunwen, and then came to the door and went to the restaurant with Ji Gang.
The officials saw the blue clothes downstairs,
Cheng Yuan arrived, and immediately went downstairs to greet him, Xu Zengshou also smiled down, and when he saw Cheng Yuan, he arched his hand and said, "Zhen Guogong, please upstairs." ”
"Why do you see me?" Cheng Yuan is polite.
"In the future, you are the only one in Daming who can wear cyan brocade, and we will naturally recognize it." The crowd gathered around him and laughed.
In the future, if you go out to drink flower wine, you have to change your clothes when you see your old lover, otherwise you will be able to catch one by one.
There are pros and cons.
The military general of the Beiping Department said in a low voice: "Zhenguo Gong is really majestic. ”
"That's right, Da Ming." There was envy in everyone's eyes.
Other officials who didn't know each other also came over hypocritically to make familiar faces and toasted one after another.
Xu Zengshou's son Xu Jingchang scratched his head and asked, "Dad, is it your treat or Zhenguogong's treat today?" Why did they all run to congratulate the prince of Zhenguo. ”
"Majestic, tsk, if you know what he is difficult to do, you will also think that Zhen Guogong is a talent."
Xu Zengshou recalled that when he first went to the outside of Beiping Mansion, Cheng Yuan's subordinates took it upon themselves to rob Xu Miaojin, and shook his head with a smile.
