Throughout February, Zhu Houzhao should have nothing to do, although Jizhou, Datong, Shaanxi and the northwest are all in full swing, but the outside is tight and the inside is loose, as the emperor he can arrange basically everything has been arranged.

Except for the chaos in Shanxi.

Although he had made all the preparations and trusted Wang Shouren to control the situation, he was not yet big enough to treat the rebellion as a trivial matter.

He had an expectation in his heart that if those who should enter Beijing did not enter Beijing by mid-to-late February, then he would have to take measures. For now, let the people below jump first.

Comparatively speaking, most of the news from Jizhou is tending to be good, and with the blessing of the steel knife, it is not so difficult to measure the land.

The matter of clearing the tun has reached this level, and no one in the court continues to bother with Zhu Houzhao, no matter what, the legitimacy of cleaning up the military tun is still very sufficient.

The country remained stable under the strong control of the emperor.

After February, the weather became warmer, Zhu Houzhao picked up the 'outdoor' activities again, and when the weather was good, he played Keju with Mei Huaigu and Xu Guan, the commander of Shenwuwei.

The Shenwu Guard, who is in charge of his guards, is now being led step by step to change in the direction of 'Ouchi Masters', these people are in good health, and they are easy to be idle every day.

Based on this consideration, Zhu Houzhao initially organized a tug-of-war competition, and later held a running competition, but in the end he felt that he was not happy, so he simply let go of his hands and feet and let them fight with knives and guns, and rewarded the top three winners with money.

In addition to individuals, there are also groups, after all, the barracks are not a place for individual heroism.

If the weather is bad, the emperor will raise a brazier in the house and find people from the Hanlin Academy and the Academy to sit and discuss, on the one hand, he is concerned about the situation of the imperial court, and on the other hand, he is also to pass the time.

As for most of the regular government affairs, he has already given them to Yang Yiqing and Wang Wei to discuss and handle, and they can report to the emperor after they make up their minds.

Some are equivalent to the word 'read' in later generations.

For example, a county in Henan reported a snow disaster, and these things no longer need to be discussed between the emperor and the cabinet ministers, how to provide disaster relief, who to send to the disaster relief, the cabinet prepared a response strategy and handed it over, Zhu Hou took a look at it, just know.

When the country and the people are safe, the emperor is relaxed.

With the extra time, Zhu Houzhao began to play with knives and guns!

That day, he drank with Wang Shouren and drank his blood boiling, and he was determined to go to the expedition in person.

So the basic three-legged cat kung fu still has to be able to do it twice, life-saving is secondary, if it falls to life-saving, it is overplayed, the main thing is to motivate people and make him have a sense of participation.

In the previous martial arts competition, the top three were Gao Pan, Huang Sanhe and Zhang Jian. They are all very tall and mighty men, and Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, has narrowed their shoulders by one point.

Therefore, it is impossible to become a master, just get started.

Sometimes it's still comfortable to sweat and take a hot shower.

The harem was still calm as usual, but when the emperor was playing with his daughter that day, his biological mother Shen Shufei suddenly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Houzhao has always remembered her in his heart.

It's been a few months, and no matter how things happen in Ningxia, they should reach her ears.

So he has been waiting, but fortunately, Concubine Shen Shu said it herself.

The matter is simple, the relatives of the imperial concubine in the palace obstructed the cleaning of Ningxia Tuntian with their noble status, she was in labor at the time, Zhu Houzhao suppressed this matter, and also imprisoned the family, and now it is estimated that it has been released.

The daughter in his arms didn't know what was going on, and she was babbling and looking tender and playful, "It was your cousin's house, and the local officials and I didn't dare to do it." ”

"The concubine deserves death!"

The Son of Heaven is majestic, but he doesn't usually act in the harem.

"Did you know beforehand?" Zhu Houzhao is still teasing his daughter with his index finger.

"The concubine didn't dare to hide it from His Majesty, His Majesty instructed it three times and twice, and the concubine had already explained it to her family. As for this matter, the concubine did not know about it before. ”

Zhu Houzhao lifted his daughter high, but in fact, he was in a good mood, and only replied with one sentence, "Those who don't know are not guilty." You restrain your own family, and don't make an example. ”

Although the emperor spoke lightly, Concubine Shen Shu had indeed slept less than others in the past few months.

At first, she couldn't understand why, but now that she knew, she was very annoyed by some relatives at home.

As for Zhu Houzhao, he didn't want to sprinkle that little temper on the woman's head.

It's just that the harem is not a simple folk backhouse after all, feelings are needed, but there can be no rules.

The reason why Shen Shufei was slightly snubbed was not because he was angry with her, but because he wanted to show the line of rules to others.

In this way, starting from Empress Xia, everyone should know where the emperor's bottom line is.

Wait until the heat is almost over, and then return to the usual appearance, so gentle and drizzly, but at the same time the rules are stretched again.

In fact, during this time, the emperor's favorite concubines were still concubines and virtuous concubines.

After all, Queen Xia is pregnant, and now her belly is bigger, and many things are inconvenient.

Concubine Xian has a demure personality, Concubine Jing has an excellent figure, except for looking at his daughter, most of the time he is still by these two people's side.

By 20 February, officials from various localities had begun to enter Beijing one after another.

The threshold of the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries is also about to be broken.

Even a few people in the attendant's room couldn't stay idle.

The earliest attendant Feng Xi is now the governor of Fujian, Guo Shangkun was initially released in Yingtianfu to participate in politics, three years later, Zhu Houzhao transferred him to Guangdong, as a political envoy.

There is another person, Wang Xian, who is not released elsewhere, but has been cooperating with the Shaofu officials to do things such as the housing resettlement of the new people in the capital.

Wang Xian was promoted to Shaofu Langzhong at the end of the second year of Zhengde, and the project parallel to the north-south Zhili Avenue project was the construction of private houses in Jingshi, and he did this in Langzhong.

In the early years, many displaced people poured into Beijing, and wooden houses were built haphazardly, causing huge safety risks, so the imperial court was determined to solve this problem.

After a few years of hard work, Nancheng, which surrounds the library garden, has become a mature functional area with complete residential houses, private schools, and commercial streets.

It's a pity that the earliest and earliest Jin Gui has been kept by the emperor's side, and he is reluctant to let him go.

Because Jin Gui is careful in his work, he organizes all kinds of documents and recitals in an orderly manner, the main thing is that he still remembers, it is almost Zhu Houzhao's 'Du Niang', this kind of person leaves, and the emperor will be a little uncomfortable.

So if you want to talk about importance, it's really not good.

Of course, it is a smooth road to be released as a governor, but a person who the emperor can't live without, so how bad can it be?

In addition, Jin Gui himself is the oldest (47 years old), and he is also the first to enter the attendant room in the third year of Hongzhi, and he is the first to enter the attendant room, so these people get together, and they are all headed by him.

Jin Gui is also particular, everyone has to invite him to dinner, and in the end he simply invited all these people to his house.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was difficult for others to refuse.

So on the evening of February 24, the Jin Mansion opened its doors to welcome guests.

Jing Yang attaches great importance to this, he has already put on his official uniform, but he has to go home and ask the people in the house to tidy it up carefully.

His wife, who was familiar with his routine, had already boiled him fish soup for midnight, but now she didn't need it.

Jing Yang's father was an official in Guangzhou, and his wife was also a child of an official eunuch, not only had an excellent temperament, but also understood world affairs, and encouraged him before he set off: "Although Fujun has a talent and fame, and there is also an experience that is difficult for anyone to match such as the Hanlin Academy and the Attendant's Room, but tonight, Fujun is the latest newcomer, and those old people will be of great use to the emperor in the future, and they may have to work together in the court for decades." ”

Mrs. Jing said this for a reason,

Because Jing Yang is rarely famous and has a relationship with his father, his articles can be commented on by some bigwigs in the current dynasty, it is said that Liang Chu and Cheng Minzheng at that time have praised him, plus he was a jinshi in his twenties.

So Jing Yang is actually a very proud person, if he is not proud, he will not have the temperament to work without sleeping, he does this to fight for the best.

"I know for my husband. Jin Gui has the emperor's trust, and Feng Xi has the merit of opening the sea, and they all admire their husbands from the bottom of their hearts. ”

The implication is that Wang Xian, Guo Shangkun and others have not done anything great, as for Xie Pi, he is Xie Qian's son, not to mention.

Mrs. Jing was worried about this, "Everyone else is also very talented, does the husband doubt the emperor's vision?" ”

Jing Yang smiled, "Don't worry, if you have any thoughts in your heart, am I still a stupid person who says it no matter what?" It's not difficult to usher in the polite words that are sent to. ”

Mrs. Jing glanced at him, and then said, "But my husband's idea is still right, and being good with them is only good, not bad." ”

"It's a pity that I won't be able to read tonight's book."

It was the last time the emperor asked him to talk about the Tang Dynasty, because it was very sudden, he didn't prepare in advance, in fact, there was nothing wrong with it, but after he came down, he thought about it and felt that it was not good enough, so he began to masochistic self-demand.

Now he has to read every day when he comes home.

"Today's event is also important, even if you don't read it for one night, it doesn't matter. Husband, just go. ”

For Mrs. Jing, this is a husband and a child, and the years are quiet.

Jing Yang has a meritorious reputation, and he is also a servant, and he is summoned by the emperor every day, and there are no traitors in the court, and there are no strong enemies outside, which is a prosperous situation that has been rare for many years.

She herself is a trustee.

Boom!

When you are in the courtyard, you can see the fireworks going up outside.

Before each court meeting, it is the busiest time in Beijing.

"Mother, we're all packed!"

Coming out of the house were her two children, the eldest brother, fifteen years old, and the younger sister, fourteen years old.

Today, Jing Yang allowed them to go to the city that never sleeps to have a lively circle.

The lights of the city that never sleeps are even brighter, and the lanterns hanging in the corners are all connected into a net.

At this point in time every year, it is almost the most lively time, because although officials from all walks of life can not drag their families into Beijing, but some entourages still want it, and after several years of development, in addition to officials, some businessmen have also begun to join in the excitement of the court, business opportunities are more on the one hand, and the other is to get the latest news, Emperor Zhengde promulgated a lot of new policies, among which there are many people who have stepped on the right step to make a fortune.

Therefore, when the Jing family and his party entered the city that never sleeped, it was really crowded and lively, and the fire-breathing performers repeatedly reminded passers-by to lean back.

In addition to these plays, there are many novelties in the city that never sleeps.

One of the overseas pavilions is the industry of Maefu, which mainly exhibits some overseas things and some things encountered during the voyage.

Because of the huge profits of sea trade, the small peasant economy of Daming can also differentiate the high demand of the upper class for sea trade, and there must be someone with this demand, how can there be someone?

Of course, it is a multi-pronged approach to increase the understanding of the world and stimulate their interest in the mainland.

The overseas pavilion has four floors, including models of ships and artillery, some books about the situation of the outer islands, and some paintings of people with deep eyes and high noses, and paintings of the ocean as far as the eye can see.

Mrs. Jing is okay, she has been here, and her son has also come, but her little daughter Jing Wan, who lives in a simple house and is raised in the boudoir, is the first time to see it.

At this glance, I was deeply attracted.

"If my sister wants to read it, I will read this "Overseas Illustrated Journal", which took a lot of thought and invited a lot of painters to draw it, and the islands mentioned in it are all mapped."

Jing Wan immediately took it in his hand, "How much silver is it?" ”

The question amused her brother, "This is only for exhibition, not for sale." ”

Jing Wan was disappointed and asked, "Why don't you sell it?" ”

"It's not easy to make so many illustrations, and it takes a lot of thought to make a book. And in order for more people to see it, it can't be bought by one or two people. ”

Jing Wan felt that it was wrong, "If it is to let more people see it, it should be sold." Not everyone has the opportunity to come to Jingshi and the city that never sleeps. ”

"Hmm...... It seems to be too. Whatever, you read it first anyway. ”

Jing Wan only felt that he was in another world, and many of the things mentioned above were different from Da Ming, which was very novel and interesting.

Unfortunately, she couldn't stay long, so she had to follow her mother on.

Passing by a small food shop, you can look up and see that above the restaurant on the second floor opposite, there are three or five 'crazy students' indulgent drinking.

In the past, she was not very interested, but when she heard that she was talking about something overseas, she took her mother to the second floor of this snack shop to find a table and sit down.

Now the city that never sleeps is amazing, and the shops on both sides of the street used to be set up parallel to the street, but now a suspended wooden arch bridge has been built in a suitable place, and lanterns are hung on it, so that people can walk, and it is really prosperous.

This lively place is indispensable for wanton young people.

The fireworks in the sky illuminated the pride of these people, and Jing Wan sat opposite, and heard someone say: "The Son of Heaven has a saying, since it is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, why is it afraid of contact with overseas countries?" If they are exercising benevolent government, why should they fear the people being deceived by it? The people of the domain do not use the boundaries of the frontier, and the country does not take the risk of mountains and streams. I am a big country, superior to people everywhere, such a grand scene, do you need to say more about the people's hearts? ”

Ah, it's a bit shocking to be able to shout it on the street. If anyone wants to preach like this before the opening of the sea, they will definitely be defeated.

As for this self-confidence, it has only been in the last two or three years.

Time is still short, so some people cling to the old tradition, "If you are superior to man everywhere, why should you associate with him?" Overseas people do not know how to educate and are prone to talk about profit, what is the benefit of such people? ”

"It's okay if you don't socialize, it's okay to buy our things with money, hahaha!"

Jing Wan thought it was interesting, at least more interesting than her working as a female worker at home every day.

So she thought that she could ask her cheap brother to find more of this kind of thing to show her when the time came. The scenery outside is beautiful and shocking, if you can't see it, wouldn't it be a pity?

……

……

The Jin Mansion is also very lively tonight.

After the division of the fields in Beizhili, hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people can live the days of sunrise and sunset.

In fact, when people live a decent life, they will have meat to eat.

This is a law, you want to be in chaos, people are gnawing tree bark, which family still raises chickens and ducks? But the life of the people is good, and every family has a small chicken pen.

It's easy to raise, and you can also lay eggs, and laying eggs is a sum of silver.

On the other hand, it means that the original homeless people have become laborers, and they will be rewarded when they work.

So the mobility of a society is like that.

In the fifth year of Zhengde, even Jin Gui, who has always been honest, can entertain guests with chicken and fish, and the plate of vegetables is full of oil.

A banquet is set up in the courtyard, and fireworks are enjoyed outside the courtyard.

Feng Xi sat in a wheelchair and looked up, with a feeling of being in a different world, "Jingshi, I can see that it is better than last year." ”

"Yuan Xue (Fengxi), wait until you look at it in two years, and you will know what it is better to see the people of Gyeonggi planting sweet potatoes. As for that scene, even if the poet is here, he has to let him read it again: The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant! ”

The person who spoke was Wang Xian, and he was also very happy to see Feng Xi, who he hadn't met for a long time.

Feng Xi can only sit because of his bad legs, "I also heard about sweet potatoes, and it is said that they were brought back by an old farmer in Fujian." But is it really that magical? ”

"Ha, is it really that amazing, you can't go out and ask this, otherwise someone will laugh at you. Last year, His Majesty harvested a sweet potato field, do you know how many times the yield is several times that of ordinary rice? Septuple! ”

Guo Shangkun also arrived, he was further away in Guangdong, but he heard about it when he wrote to a friend, "It's true." By the time sweet potatoes are popularized, the first two lines of the poem you read must be changed. ”

"Change to what?"

"Of course, it was changed to 'reminiscing about the heyday of Zhengde'."

"Hahaha."

A young junior came out of the eaves, and among these middle-aged people, Xie Pi, a twenty-five-year-old young man, stood out from the crowd at once.

That face, it's so tender.

"I've seen three seniors."

"Oh, here we are." Wang Xian stepped forward politely, "Is Yu Qiaogong (Xie Qian) okay?" ”

"When I am tired, I miss Wei Gong, and my father's body is still strong." Xie Pi thought about the one who followed behind him, and continued: "Three seniors, in the first month of this year, His Majesty ordered the selection of a new attendant. ”

Jing Yang appeared from the shadow of the corridor and saluted respectfully in front of the three people, "Senior Jing Yang, be polite." ”

"No need to be polite, I know, Brother Jing is a tanhua in the first year of Zhengde, he is also a great talent, and he is quite virtuous, so he can be reused by the emperor this time."

As Jing Yang expected, when they met, they must have been indispensable to the politeness of touting each other, and it was a little lively.

But when Jin Gui sat on the main seat, it was quiet again, this 'leading brother' worked carefully and his personality was calm.

At the beginning of Zhan Shifu, Jin Gui gave people the impression that he had few words, no matter how impetuous he was outside, he was always as calm as water.

The eldest brother is like this, and the others are also slightly restrained.

“…… A few years ago, due to some wrong things, Weizhong asked His Majesty to demote Guizhou, so today there is still one less. ”

Jin Gui mentioned this matter, and there is still a layer of haze in everyone's hearts, no matter how favored they are, they can't get carried away.

In fact, he didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, but he had to say this to show that he didn't forget Yan Song's intentions.

"It seems that Your Majesty is very angry." Feng Xi Road.

"It can't be said that Your Majesty is very angry," Jin Gui held the steaming teacup in his hand and said: "It's just that Your Majesty has his own way of governing the government, and the old man said to others that they don't understand, but you all must understand it as His Majesty's attendants." Occasionally, there are no mistakes, but in fact, they are not a big deal, and the key is not to contradict His Majesty's thinking. The direction is wrong, Your Majesty just likes a person, and he will belittle him to the ends of the earth. ”

Everyone nodded, this summary is very quintessential, worthy of being a person who has been with the emperor for so long.

Guo Shangkun said: "The words of the Duke of Confiscation always remind me of Wang Bo'an's letter to clean up the military tun back then, and the current matter, Wang Bo'an mentioned it in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, ten years ago, ten years later, His Majesty's attitude is completely different. ”

"That's true."

Wang Xian asked more, "Zhang Zhang, what do you think?" ”

As a result, as soon as he asked, he was stopped by Jin Gui, "A banquet is a banquet, let's not mention others." Your Majesty wants to use people, you can't stop it, Your Majesty wants to degrade people, you can't stop it, others have other people's roads, we have our own roads, behind our backs, don't talk about others' shortcomings. ”

Wang Xian was a little embarrassed, "Forgive me, I'm more relaxed today, and I can't keep my mouth open." ”

"It doesn't matter." Jin Gui didn't care at all, "Anyway, the matter of Qingtun is difficult to do well today, the old man wants to suggest to His Majesty that Guangdong and Fujian are far away from the Central Plains, why do you need the two brothers Feng and Guo?" ”

That's a serious matter.

The north is indeed the focus, on the other hand, Fujian and Guangdong are too far away from Beijing, and the emperor doesn't care about anything.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven is good at military affairs, but Fujian is an indisputable place for soldiers, so although they are both governors, they are actually different.

Especially Guo Shangkun, he is still in Guangdong, "We are all His Majesty's henchmen, and we know Your Majesty's intentions, if we were in Shanxi, we would have done it with those people with our heads!" ”

Feng Xi laughed at him, "Shanxi Governor Wang Jing is also a generation of capable ministers. ”

"Neng Chen doesn't necessarily work. Others don't know, can we still not know? Your Majesty, these things can't be done without fighting with your life, is this capable minister fighting for his life? ”

Jing Yang in the corner was shocked, he didn't know that these people spoke like this before, but after watching it, he understood what the Son of Heaven was close to him.

These people knew that they were deeply trusted by the emperor, and they were proud of it, and they always had an attitude of 'I will consider a problem with the emperor', and they were also very strong in their words.

But if you want to say that it is simple and reckless, it is not either.

Wang Xian's sentence just now seems to be wrong, but in fact, where is it wrong, the people who have served the emperor and the people who have been in front of the king will come to this Jin Mansion and say a wrong thing?

How could that be.

What does it mean to 'relax a little today', that is his own person, and after saying that, even he himself can't help but feel a sense of closeness in his heart. Madame said that these are talented people, and it is true.

"After the Great Dynasty Meeting, someone was transferred," Jin Gui pondered, "Your Majesty looks at the current situation, and must have the intention of going north for the two of you." But it's easy to go up, it's hard to come down, and it's not easy to do. ”

After a while, someone from the house approached with his head bowed, ready to say something in his ear.

Jin Gui dodged, "It's all your own people, be louder." ”

"Yes! Master Qiyu, the news of Shanxi, Shanxi has commanded Tian Ze to rebel. ”

When they heard this, everyone was shocked, "What?!" ”

Guo Shangkun wanted to smoke his crow's mouth, "Did I say something about Wang Jing, he didn't even have this ability?" Aren't all commanders his men? ”

Feng Xi thought of the palace for the first time, and was a little worried, "Your Majesty estimates that it will be another sleepless night." ”

In addition to the two of them, even the younger Xie Pi and Jing Yang were also a little uneasy, how unfortunate it was to have such a thing in a lively and lively manner.

Only Jin Gui calmly asked, "Is it gone?" Shouldn't it? ”

"The old man is clever, yes. The chaos has subsided, and it will only take two days before and after. ”

"Wang Bo's peaceful."

"Exactly."

"Let's go down."

Jin Gui glanced at the panicked and shocked eyes of everyone, as if they were all a little overwhelmed, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It's not just us who are growing, Your Majesty is also growing. Mingzhi (Guo Shangkun characters) mentioned the twelfth year of Hongzhi...... Your Majesty is no longer the prince of the prison country who had no generals and no soldiers during the Hongzhi period. ”

Guo Shangkun patted his chest, "I had a false alarm, I thought it was a big deal, but now I just need to write a congratulatory note." ”

Everyone sneered, one general was incompetent, and the three armies were exhausted, if this was the other way around, it was not just a matter of writing a congratulatory note.
