The twenty-ninth day of the thirty-fourth year of Taiping, the last day of the Taiping era.

Emperor Zhu Zhongliang returned to the Forbidden City again with the family scroll and presided over the royal family banquet and the clan family banquet.

Zhu Zhongliang is still the patriarch of the royal family, and his actual status is equivalent to that of a retired temporary chairman.

Zhu Jianyan's position is similar to that of the general manager who actually manages the family and business.

When the seats were arranged, Zhu Zhongliang and Zhu Jianyan, father and son, were side by side, and Zhu Zhongliang's other descendants were on the left and right below.

In the past, when the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor were at the same time, the seats were always arranged like this.

On the side of the female scroll, the queen is sitting in the middle, Zhu Jianyan's princess, and the future queen is scheduled to sit on the left side of the queen mother.

Liang Yunying, the scheduled imperial concubine, was arranged to her right by Empress Taishang.

The other concubines and concubines are on the left and right below.

Liang Yunying herself was very surprised:

"Queen Mother...... It's not appropriate for a concubine to sit here. ”

The Queen Mother explained with a smile:

"This is what the Emperor asked me to arrange, there is nothing inappropriate, there is only one imperial concubine here, and this position was originally for you."

Liang Yunying didn't dare to shirk anymore, so she could only sit on the right side of the Queen Mother quite carefully.

Then he observed the reactions of the people around him, and at the same time muttered in his heart:

Even if it is a scheduled imperial concubine, she should not sit with two generations of queens.

After Emperor Shizu and before Zhu Jianyan, these generations of emperors were not sons-in-law.

So there will be two queen mothers, so there will be exactly three people sitting on it.

The current emperor Zhu Jianyan himself is a son-in-law, and there should have only been the queen mother and the queen on it.

A position was supposed to be removed, but now three people have been arranged.

And the arrangement given to Liang Yunying by the Emperor and the Queen Mother made Zhu Jianyan's other ladies completely cool down.

Originally, when Zhu Jianyan was still a prince, the other three ladies naturally hoped that their sons could inherit the throne.

The prince's sons are all potentially competitive, and if they want to inherit the title, they have to study hard and find a way to please their father.

Zhu Jingyuan was the most favorable contender for the throne at the beginning.

Because of his prominence, the other brothers and their mothers have basically given up the idea of increasing the throne.

As a result, Zhu Jingyuan himself got the title of prince, so he didn't have to compete with them, so they had another chance, and they immediately began to compete in secret again.

As a result, this process lasted less than a year, and Zhu Jianyan became the emperor.

All are back to the same starting point.

In the future, there will be no need to compete for the throne, and the competition for the throne will begin.

The attraction and allure of the imperial throne are many times higher than the previous princely titles.

Even if you feel that there is a high probability that you are not Zhu Jingyuan's opponent, you can't help but have illusions.

Because the news in the court and the palace cannot be circulated at will, many people don't know what happened between Zhu Jingyuan and the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang and his father Zhu Jianyan.

But with the other ladies being crowned concubines, and Liang Yunying being crowned imperial concubines alone, and now being arranged separately on the main throne, they once again realized the huge gap.

Liang Yunying's son is not only smart, the key is that he has been recognized by the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang and the new emperor Zhu Jianyan.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for only Liang Yunying to be crowned the imperial concubine, otherwise there would be no special seating arrangement.

and Zhu Jingyuan's outrageous reward.

All these circumstances show that Zhu Jingyuan is the heir who is favored by both generations of emperors.

Others should not toss.

Honestly through the practical training of governance, and strive to mix up the princely title.

The royal family feast lasted from noon to early evening.

The drunken old emperor Zhu Zhongliang took his concubine and returned to the palace outside the city by car.

The children in the old city of Jingshi are a little deserted, because the old city is not lively enough, and the key is that firecrackers and fireworks are not allowed, so as not to have saboteurs use firecrackers to cover up the gunshots.

Most people finished posting Spring Festival couplets in the morning, and then went to Xincheng in the afternoon to set off fireworks and visit the temple fair.

When Zhu Zhongliang left the palace, the sky had not completely darkened, and the sound of fireworks in the direction of the new city had already begun to rise into the sky.

Zhu Zhongliang waved his hand to the children and grandchildren around him:

"You don't have to follow me, let's all go out and play, now you're all liberated......"

The older sons were embarrassed and in no mood to hang out.

But the young sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren are waiting for Zhu Zhongliang's words.

Those who followed the old emperor out were all other sons and grandsons other than Zhu Jianyan.

Now that they have basically lost their inheritance rights, their security level can be reduced, and they are correspondingly more free.

At this time last year, they all had to stay in the old city honestly, and now they can go to the new city to play.

But Zhu Jianyan's children and grandchildren have to stay in the Forbidden City now.

In addition to the practical training of governance in the field.

In the evening of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jingyuan's Great Food Country was only noon.

Zhu Jingyuan asked the palace to prepare a "state banquet".

It is not a banquet of the national level, but a banquet attended by the whole people.

The capital of the Great Food Country, everyone in the entire Quicksand City, was invited to participate.

Just outside the walls of the new palace, a huge open-air banquet was held.

Anyway, even if it is winter in Quicksand City now, the temperature during the day is twenty degrees, and it will not be cold at all.

The so-called thousands of people become mountains, ten thousand people become seas, and now there are more than 20,000 people under the city of Xinwangfu in the Great Food Country, which is really a sea of people.

It took three days before the Great Food Country to clean up and inspect all the orchids.

The first batch of Tianzhu and Mozhou, a total of more than 4,300.

Then it was just a matter of getting started.

There are only 3,000 single workers in the Great Food Country.

Faced with more than 4,000 orchids, they theoretically have a choice.

But Zhu Jingyuan did not allow them the opportunity to choose freely, but adopted the lottery mode.

Orchids are simply divided into five grades according to their form and health.

Corresponds to the five levels in the assessment of workers in the big food country.

Every day, every ten days, every month, workers will have different levels of evaluation.

The highest level is honest and hardworking, willing to learn, and in good health.

The lowest is cunning and lazy, rejecting knowledge, and being physically ill and weak.

Randomly pay the highest-grade orchid to the highest-rated craftsman.

The last remaining 300 or so orchids were temporarily used as ordinary sundries.

At banquets, he becomes a waiter, responsible for delivering things and delivering messages.

At noon, before the banquet began, Zhu Jingyuan stood on the makeshift platform and spoke a few words earnestly.

A group of loud guards, starting from the platform and extending outward, dispersed among the crowd below.

helped convey Zhu Jingyuan's words sentence by sentence.

"Today, now, and tomorrow, is the first New Year in our Great Food Country.

"We gathered here from all over the world of Daming and formed a big family - the Great Food Country, Quicksand City.

"So today's luncheon is a feast for all of us.

"In the evening, after each of them went back, it was their own little family feast.

"Today's luncheon and dinner, as well as tomorrow's luncheon, all materials can be applied to the royal palace, and all are provided free of charge according to the size of the family.

"Okay, let's make up for the nonsense, today I hope everyone can eat and drink well, continue to work hard in the coming year, and live a better life!"

After the news announced by Zhu Jingyuan was conveyed by the loud guards, the scene immediately resounded with undulating cheers.

You can let go of eating and drinking for free in two days!

"The king is wise and powerful!"

"The king loves the people like a son."

"The Great King ...... Kang"

Amidst all kinds of praise, the "state banquet" of the Great Food Country has begun.

Zhu Jingyuan also got off the stage and returned to his position in the front row.

Zhu Jingyuan chatted with his staff, guards, courtiers, and maidservants and ate.

The banquet also went straight to the evening.

Zhu Jingyuan returned to the old palace, and fireworks began to be set off in Quicksand City.

For the sake of Zhu Jingyuan's safety, Zhu Jingyuan can only allow the sound of firecrackers to appear after he leaves.

Firecrackers are being set off in the Ming Dynasty, and firecrackers are being set off in the Ming Dynasty's vassal kingdoms and Huangzhuang.

The countries of Tessie are also setting off firecrackers.

Influenced by the Ming culture, the Ming Spring Festival is also one of the most lively festivals in Taixi.

Most of them also paste Spring Festival couplets at home, and in the afternoon, they will change into Ming-style clothes and go shopping.

In the past, there were only traditional Ming-style clothing, and many Taixi ethnic elements were disgusted with this kind of clothing.

But now they have a new choice, the Ming Taixi costume designed by Prince Da Da.

Coupled with the Ming New Year's habit of changing new clothes, the Taixi nobles also went to the Royal Garment Firm and the Big Food Merchant House again to buy a batch of clothes.

On the night of the last day of the Ming Taiping era, on the streets of large and medium-sized cities such as Paris, London, Moscow, Berlin, and Rome, at least half of the Taixi women changed into traditional Ming-style skirts.

Nearly a third of the men also changed into Ming-style Tessie clothes with short skirts and high heels.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's instructions, Chu Yuqiang found a few teenage beautiful little boys from Taixi and wore the same clothes to promote in the store, and the actual effect was very good.

The French prince Charles received Zhu Jingyuan's reply, and while he was pleasantly surprised, he was a little puzzled by Zhu Jingyuan's idea of losing weight.

went to find various records and portraits of Emperor Zhu Cihong, and found that the situation was indeed as Zhu Jingyuan said, there were almost no signs of obesity, and the whole person's temperament was very capable.

So Prince Charles began to blame himself, he shouldn't have doubted the great affairs of the Ming royal family, and anyone else knew the story of the Ming royal family better than him?

So Prince Charles himself began to try to lose weight, and at the same time began to look for suitable primary and secondary schools in Paris, trying the new school uniform pilot proposed by Zhu Jingyuan.

Prince Charr's goal is an aristocratic school, of course, he can't use low-grade clothing, and the high-end clothing designed by Zhu Jingyuan is too expensive, and who will bear the cost of school uniforms, has not yet been negotiated.

At the same time, in addition to the initial deliberate guidance, Tessie's various newspapers have begun to have spontaneous local articles teaching ordinary people how to diet and lose weight.

In this atmosphere, Tessie's sky slowly darkened.

Then the Tessie people began to set off fireworks and began to enter the year-end observance.

Waiting for the arrival of the next day, waiting for the new news from the Ming side.
