Chapter 109: Sound Golden Bell, New Yuan Hongji
As the time entered December, the daily dispatch of the General Secretary for Communications decreased significantly. Zhu Youzhu didn't react at the beginning, and after two or three days, he found that the performance did not increase but declined, and then he remembered that it was indeed time to grind foreign workers at this point in his previous life.
The Spring Festival is undoubtedly an extremely important priority for people in this era. Since officials have already begun to fold their fingers and wait for the Chinese New Year, many local magistrates usually choose to go to Beijing at this time to report their posts so that they can give gifts to others, so the number of submissions has plummeted.
Even the Beijing official yamen adheres to the psychology that more things are better than less, and some non-urgent matters are usually postponed until next year.
Zhu Youjiao's mentality is completely different from that of the social animals in his previous life, and now he wants to knock them on the head when he sees that the courtiers under him who are not working with the money are so slack.
It's just that this is this era, and the world is not as big as the New Year. The winter in the capital is obviously colder than in Beijing in the previous life, and in the face of this snow-capped Beijing city, Zhu Youzhu simply stopped the early dynasty.
In fact, in the last month, the number of times he went to the early court was not much, and the palace ceremony was naturally much more comfortable than the palace ceremony, so there was something important to call a few ministers to the Qianqing Palace to discuss.
After all, history has changed, he did not become the virtuous monarch Hongzhi who added the Wu Dynasty, and now he will often leave the early dynasty and must become the faint monarch Zhu Youzhu who is criticized by Wenchen.
Before I knew it, the time had come to the winter solstice. Zhu Youzhu has now developed a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early, waking up after a full sleep as usual, and the weather outside has become significantly colder.
It's just that as the emperor of this dynasty, there is naturally no shortage of warm clothes, and the heating system of the entire palace is working, so you can feel very warm here.
Even if you get up every day, there is always a group of palace maids waiting outside to prepare everything, and you only need to cooperate a little, and there are special people to serve you for washing and dressing.
Zhu Youzhu has already followed the customs of the locals, although he will be manipulated like a machine, but he will not be disgusted in the face of these sweet-looking young palace maids.
"Your Majesty, please sit in peace!" When it was his turn to wash his face, a beautiful voice like a silver bell sounded.
This palace maid is about fifteen or sixteen years old, her facial features are very exquisite, and she is wearing a standard group neck, narrow sleeves, and purple clothes embroidered with small sunflowers, but the girl's good figure wears the beauty of the seller's show.
Her skin looks fair and delicate, and she looks delicate, especially her buttocks are very upturned, and she is carefully helping Zhu Youzhu clean her face.
Zhu Youzhu sat directly in front of the dragon bed, and at this moment, he only needed to open his eyes to see the girl close at hand, as well as the sexy red lips.
But I don't know if my nose is too sensitive, or if this girl's body fragrance is strong, I can always smell the blue and musky body fragrance on this girl's body, and see the white neck and a button that has been loosened.
The girl seemed to have noticed Zhu Youzhang's gaze, but she was like a wild little cat, boldly glancing at Zhu Youzhang.
Which girl is not pregnant with spring, and now Zhu Youzhu is the only man in the palace, but he is handsome and very attractive, so he has become the crush of the young palace maid group.
Especially after learning that Erya had received His Majesty's favor, some beautiful young palace maids were obviously ready to move.
No matter how beautiful Erya is, she is an old woman of twenty-five or sixteen after all, how can she have a soft body that is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and their faces are naturally more beautiful.
It's just that the rules of the court don't allow them to be presumptuous, and the emperor can pamper them anytime and anywhere, but if they are found to have taken the initiative to seduce the emperor, then they may be beaten to death.
A slightly unbuttoned button is actually a move to wipe the edges, and it has also sent enough signals to Zhu Youzhang.
Zhu Youzhu admired the bold and wild beautiful girl, and when he saw that she was clean and careful, he asked with great interest: "What name do you say?" ”
"Slave maid...... The slave's name is Pan Jinling! Pan Jinling's face turned red, and she looked a little nervous and bowed her head in response.
Zhu Youzhu found that this girl was actually a paper tiger, and the last word was not very clear when he heard it, so he had a bad association, so he confirmed: "Pan Jin? ”
"Suzu!!" Pan Jinling looked even more shy, but still mustered up the courage to hurriedly add the last word.
Zhu Youzhu heard the word that was not what he imagined, and said with a little regret in his heart: "Pan Jinling? ”
"Hmm!" Pan Jinling was actually quite satisfied with her name, so she nodded vigorously. Zhu Youzhu glanced thoughtfully at the bare part of her feet, but it didn't seem to be tied with a golden bell on it, but a small and delicate copper bell.
Pan Jinling saw that Zhu Youzhu seemed to be interested in herself, especially she could feel that Zhu Youzhang's gaze was a little eager, and she couldn't help but be nervous and expectant.
"Your Majesty, Long Yuan is already waiting, and the time for the great court meeting is coming!" Guo Yong walked in hurriedly from the outside and reminded him unclearly.
Zhu Youzhu saw Pan Jinling's nervousness in his eyes, but he hadn't reached the point of being so casual, but he still wrote down this bold and timid golden bell girl.
Although he has stopped the early dynasty, the half-monthly court meeting has always been held as usual, especially today is the winter solstice court meeting.
The three major festivals of the Ming Dynasty are: New Year's Day, Winter Solstice Festival and Wanshou Holy Day. Similar to the Shuowang Dynasty on the first and fifteenth days of each month, the royal palace ceremony is held in the Fengmen Hall on this day.
When Zhu Youzhu set off to come to Fengtian Palace, more than 1,000 civil and military officials had already come to Fengtian Hall with tooth cards in the cold wind.
The Ming Dynasty implemented the tooth card system and the door registration system, the tooth card system is naturally to hold the tooth card to enter the palace, and the door registration system is actually a leave system, in case of business, illness and other situations can not participate in the will fill in the official document to explain the reason.
It is precisely because of the existence of the clan registration system that those pampered martial artists usually find various reasons and then do not go to the early dynasty.
Because many martial artists have realized that Emperor Hongzhi will not reuse them, and they don't want to suffer in the cold land, they still take sick leave today.
The British Duke Zhang Mao prides himself on his noble status, knowing that His Majesty may have to hand over the Beijing camp to him to lead in the future, so he still insists on checking in every court meeting.
Zhu Youzhu took the dragon chariot to the throne of the Fengtian Palace, accepted the worship of the civil and military officials outside the hall, and then took the dragon chariot to return directly to the Qianqing Palace.
Since the last time there was an incident in the Shuo Dynasty that the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Court
On the one hand, Zhu Youzhu has the protection of the party, and on the other hand, Zhu Youzhu can attack at any time with Li Min's greed, and now Zhu Youzhu has really become
"God".
"Holy bow to all gods!" Wan An and Liu Ji led hundreds of civil and military officials to bow three times outside the Fengtian Gate, and then returned to their respective yamen.
Zhu Youzhu took the dragon chariot back to the Qianqing Palace, although he was facing the north wind along the way, the mink coat he was wearing was indeed very warm.
"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are already ready, but now it's windy outside, do you want to wait a little longer?" Guo Yong, who was wearing a mink robe rewarded by Zhu Youzhang, saw Zhu Youzhu returning, so he greeted him and asked.
Zhu Youzhu knew that he was born in the state of etiquette, and that his emperor was sometimes involuntarily, so he waved his hand lightly and said, "No! This is to your own backyard, no need to take a dragon chariot! ”
"Withdrawn!" Guo Yong's request to Zhu Youzhu was to obey unconditionally, and even waved his hand to the sedan chair man and eunuch.
Now the palace maids and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace seem to be more and more obedient, especially after the Qianqing Palace sets up a grading system, because the subordinates will stare at the superiors and want to be superior, so even if there are eyeliners in the Dongnuan Pavilion, they dare not pass on the news.
Zhu Youzhu was wearing a thick mink coat, and his feet were stepping on the residual snow on the road, and the residual snow made a squeaky sound, and he was walking along the palace road from south to north.
Similar to the layout of the three major halls, on the central axis to the north of the Qianqing Palace, there are the last three palaces, namely: Qianqing Palace, Taidian Palace and Kunning Palace.
Since the queen has not yet been canonized, the Kunning Palace, which is located in the northernmost part, is still vacant, and the crown princess Zhang Yujiao still lives in the Chengxi Palace.
When Zhu Youzhu walked through Kunning Palace, his face also had a touch of solemnity. In his heart, he didn't want to canonize Zhang Yujiao as the queen.
The Zhang family is really too close to the civil official group, and Zhang Yujiao is the granddaughter-in-law chosen by the Empress Dowager, and more importantly, Zhang Yujiao is still a paranoid.
In the original history, Zhu Youzhu was not a monarch who had the courage to go against the trend. If it weren't for other forces to force Zhu Youzhang, it is unlikely that Zhu Youzhu would be able to wait for Empress Zhang to give birth and draft a girl to enter the palace, nor would he be an emperor who guards a woman like jade.
Zhu Youzhu didn't want to explore the truth anymore, but it was impossible for Zhang Yujiao to be canonized as the queen because she was chosen as the crown princess by the empress dowager, and he, the emperor, needed to find a queen with the same heart as himself.
Fortunately, Chen Qiong, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, can be said to be a peach in return, although the etiquette protection faction led by Xu Pu opposed the draft, but this proposal has been passed by a high vote.
When the Yuan is officially changed next year, the Ministry of Rites will select a group of show girls from Jiangnan and other places to enter the palace, and then they will select a child from a good family to be crowned as the queen, or choose a woman from a famous family to be canonized as the queen.
The front gate of the three palaces is the Qianqing Gate, and the back door is the Kunning Gate. Zhu Youzhu passed through the Kunning Gate, like an ordinary person's three-entry house, and resolutely came to his own house
"Backyard", which is now named after the royal backyard
"Miyahou Garden". Gonghou Garden, the East Road building has Duxiu Mountain Yujing Pavilion, Lizao Hall, Fubi Pavilion, Wanchun Pavilion, Jiangxue Xuan; The buildings on the west road include Yanhui Pavilion, Wei Yu Zhai, Chengrui Pavilion, Qianqiu Pavilion, Yangxing Zhai, as well as the Four Gods Shrine, Jing Pavilion, Lutai and so on.
There are 12,000 square meters here, the old acacia is planted all over the garden, and the strange stone jade seat, the bronze statue of Jinlin and the pile scenery are listed, and there is not a single flower.
The east gate of Qiongyuan and the west gate of Qiongyuan are divided into left and right in the park, which can lead to the six palaces of the east and west; To the north is the archway gate and the Shunzhen gate surrounded by Jifu Gate, Yanhe Gate and Chengguang Gate, and it is facing the Shenwu Gate in the northernmost boundary of the Forbidden City.
Zhu Youzhu walks along the palace road in the middle, the east and west buildings in this garden are basically symmetrical, and located on the central axis is a Qin'an palace with a heavy eaves to record the top and the golden treasure vase on the An.
The base of the Qin'an Hall is the Sumeru seat made of white marble, and the dragon and phoenix patterns on the pillar and the baffle are beautiful carvings, and the top of the hall is flat and surrounded by four ridges.
Entering the hall, the center is dedicated to the Taoist Zhenwu Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please incense!" Liu Jin and Meng Shou, the eunuch of the Divine Palace, had already placed sacrifices here, and Meng Shou respectfully sent three incense sticks.
Zhu Youzhu took the three sticks of incense, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then prayed. Emperor Zhenwu is the god of water, so every year at the beginning of spring, summer, autumn, winter and other festivals, the emperor needs to pray to the god of water to bless the palace and extinguish the fire.
Zhu Youzhu knew that once the palace encountered thunder and fire, then it would prove that the virtue of the Son of Heaven was at a loss, even if he was the Son of Heaven who was on top every day, he had to obediently ask for blessings and ask for forgiveness.
Fortunately, he was under the impression that he had not been hit by major fires during his reign, and it did not seem particularly important whether he came to worship God or not.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has just gone to the top of the Imperial Pavilion to take a look, and now the snow scene in the Forbidden City is very beautiful, do you want to go up to enjoy the snow?" Liu Jin also tried his best to curry favor with Zhu Youjiao, so he pointed to the Yujing Pavilion on Duixiu Mountain and proposed.
Zhu Youzhu really didn't have any official business in his hands now, so he didn't need to rush back, so he raised his hand slightly and said, "Then go up and take a look!" Liu Jin seemed very attentive to lead the way in front, although there were steps, but the eunuch next to him seemed to be taking care of the elderly, and everyone seemed very nervous, but they were afraid that Zhu Youzhu would fall.
Zhu Youzhu went up to the Yujing Pavilion, although he was only standing at a slightly higher height than the second floor, he could see the entire Forbidden City and see the snow-capped new world in front of him.
"Your Majesty, you see, our Qianqing Palace is the one that, and the highest one is the Fengtian Palace!" Liu Jin looked very happy and pointed to the palace in the south to introduce.
Zhu Youzhu's sense of direction is very good, so he naturally doesn't need Liu Jin's introduction, but he finds that the snow scene here is indeed very distinctive.
It's just that I saw the lifeless appearance of the six palaces on the left and right, but I found that I should fill the six palaces as soon as possible, otherwise the central area where I am located is indeed too deserted.
"Your Majesty, you beware of catching a cold up there, you better go back to the East Warm Pavilion quickly!" Guo Yong didn't follow, and leaned his neck down and said worriedly.
Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but sigh secretly, and found that he really couldn't catch the wind and cold now, so he decided to go home.
As the New Year is getting closer and closer, the world seems to be really peaceful, even if he really wants to know the latest news from Wang Yue, but Nan Zhili has not sent any relevant songs.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. With the fireworks blooming in the night sky in the early morning, the twenty-three years of Chenghua are over, and the year of Chenghua is also marked with a stop charm, so naturally there will be no more Chenghua twenty-four years.
Instead, the name of the Koji era was grandly unveiled.
