Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
The imperial court's Qingzhang plan in Yingtian has now begun to be implemented. This is the most important event at the moment.
No matter the court or the local government, there were basically no problems, and there was even less opposition.
This was due to the fact that the emperor had cleared the court in advance. Opponents might have been deposed and exiled, and this had frightened the remaining people.
But this can only be said that the contradiction has been covered up. It is actually uncertain whether the Qingzhang's tax collection can start and end successfully.
Of course, these matters have nothing to do with Zhu Jinghong, and he himself does not want to get involved, so naturally he does not pay much attention to them.
On the other hand, Prince Rui Zhu Jingyuan, although he did not expressly support Qingzhang, he expressed his position in public several times, hoping that officials at all levels would work hard to complete the great affairs of the dynasty.
The imperial court has major affairs, but naturally there are also minor affairs.
For example, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for selecting the princess, and the primary election begins on the tenth day of March.
After three days of selection, out of nearly 700 ladies, only 100 passed the selection and stayed in the capital to wait for re-election.
Among the 100 people announced by the Ministry of Rites, Baochai saw Yang Jingting's name in the middle and last position of the list, which seemed inconspicuous at all.
Seeing Baochai pondering for a long time, Ying'er reminded him, "Girl, let's go back."
"Let's go"
March 20th A re-election will be conducted, and only thirty people will be left. Baochai is confident that they will pass.
After leaving in the carriage, Baochai was still thinking about the next thing, but Yinger looked out through the curtain.
"Girl, a lot of foreigners have come to Beijing in the past two days. What are they here for?"
Wen Xing immediately interrupted, "You don't even know this, Thirteen These people were invited by the Holy One to watch the ceremony."
"How do you know that?"
"I heard from the boys that there were foreigners there yesterday. He was drunk and causing trouble, and was arrested by the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. He was said to be detained in Shuntian Mansion now."
Wen Xing naturally loves to hear these gossips, and is even more full of sharing at this moment. desire.
"It turns out that I am crowning the Thirteenth Master. Then after crowning me, shouldn't I get a wife?" When she said this, Ying'er looked at Baochai.
At this time Wen Xing said, "That's wrong. After being crowned, you have to be crowned king, and then you can get married."
With a blank look at Wen Xing, Ying'er leaned in front of Baochai, She smiled and said, "Girl, after you get married to the Thirteenth Master, we can live with you in the palace."
Baochai responded with silence, and then said slowly, "You can only get married if you choose a princess."< /p>
"Isn't the girl just choosing a princess?" Wen Xing asked with a naive look on her face. Her clumsy look was also a bit cute.
"Please stop saying a few words, the chattering is giving me a headache." Baochai looked helpless.
"Oh"
While the Xue family's carriage was heading home, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were still busy.
When chieftains and allies from various vassals come to the capital, their food, clothing, housing and transportation must be arranged. Recently, they have to arrange interviews, and the Ministry of Rites is even busier for this.
These chieftains and alliance leaders were now slowly heading towards the Qianqing Palace under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Many people entered the palace for the first time. Looking at the towering palace walls and majestic palace, these people were inevitably shocked.
The heavenly dynasty is truly extraordinary. This is the thought that pops up in everyone’s mind.
Arriving outside the Qianqing Gate, the guards in front were shining with golden armor and their expressions were majestic, standing like soldiers from heaven.
Without the emperor’s summons, everyone could only stand and wait, even if they were the overlords in their respective territories.
When the local emperor meets the real emperor, he will naturally obey him.
Everyone waited for nearly ten minutes, and finally a eunuch came out of the palace gate, but it was Dai Quan, the eunuch who was ordered to supervise Dongchang.
"The Lord has summoned the chieftains of the Khans and Alliances to come to the palace to have an audience."
Everyone present brought an interpreter with him, and they all had the title of deputy envoy to appear with them. They could understand what it meant.
Still led by officials from the Ministry of Rites, a group of chieftains from the Khan King entered the Qianqing Gate and rushed towards the main hall.
Qianqing Palace is the emperor's palace, and summoning him here to be more intimate means that the emperor does not treat us as outsiders. All old foxes can understand this.
Entering the palace and looking at the empty throne in front of them, everyone was in awe and didn't even have the courage to look twice.
Everyone lined up and stood in the hall. Everyone lowered their heads slightly. The hall was still so quiet that the sound of "drip" could be heard.
At this moment, the emperor was sitting in the side hall drinking tea, with his three legitimate sons standing solemnly in front of him.
Today Zhu Jinghong was dressed very formally, wearing a four-piece dragon collar robe, a black gauze winged crown and a jade leather belt. His graceful and noble demeanor almost made people forget that he was a reckless man.
"Dad, it's almost time," Prince Rui Zhu Jingyuan reminded.
After taking the last sip of tea, Zhu Xianming put down the cup and said, "Let's go then."
Hearing this, Cheng Ying took the crown and hat from the eunuch's hand and put it on carefully On the emperor's head.
I saw Zhu Xianming stand up, walk around the desk towards the main hall.
The first one to follow was the prince, followed by Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Jinghong.
In the main hall, seeing that the emperor was about to arrive, Dai Quan shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is here!"
Hearing this signal, everyone present knelt down, and the next moment Zhu Xianming happened to appear, It can be seen that Dai Quan is stuck well.
"Kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor"
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor"
Although the spoken language was very surprising, he reluctantly still said it It can be heard clearly that these people are paying homage to the emperor.
After Zhu Xianming took his seat, Zhu Jinghong and three others stood in front of the emperor on the left and right, without saying a word.
"Without courtesy"
All the chieftains of the Khan King stood up immediately, and then stood there with their waists hunched over, not daring to look directly at the emperor.
"You all have come a long way and have a hard time," Zhu Xianming said with a smile.
Although it sounded like the emperor was chatting, no one dared to answer the conversation at this moment, and everyone at the scene listened carefully.
"The most important thing in calling you to Beijing this time is to allow you to attend the crowning ceremony of my youngest son."
At this point, Zhu Xianming pointed to Zhu Jinghong, Only then did everyone look up slightly.
This is remarkable. With the "simple" aesthetics of these foreigners, I only feel that among the three emperor's legitimate sons, Zhu Jinghong has the most outstanding character.
Of course, this is just their first thought.
The chieftains of the Khan King who relied on the breath of the Ming Dynasty to survive naturally had a good understanding of the court structure. They knew that the Crown Prince and Prince Rui should not be underestimated. One of these two was going to inherit the throne.
"In my Ming Dynasty, men were crowned at sixteen, and then they married a wife when they reached adulthood. In this way, they would have children and reproduce."
"You have different customs everywhere, but In fact, they are similar."
"The most important thing is that everyone wants to live in peace."
Speaking of this, Zhu Xianming sighed, "It's a pity that it's so simple. wish, but someone wants to interfere with it and mess up everything."
Who the last sentence was said was actually clear to everyone present. At this moment, no one expressed an opinion and no one wanted to be the first person. .
Picking up the tea cup on the side, Zhu Xianming continued, "You must all know who I am talking about, and I also know that you have also suffered greatly."
"So this call When you enter Beijing, the second thing you want to do is to discuss how to completely solve this big trouble in Junggar and restore peace to the northwest."
There is no need to beat around the bush when talking to these khan king chieftains, Zhu Xianming knows very well Which is proportionate.
Too much nonsense will make people miss the point.
After all, he is the emperor, and every fart will be analyzed by someone. Sometimes it is really easy for people to overthink things.
“The Dzungars were unruly and unruly during the time of Emperor Shizu. Now they are becoming more and more rampant.”
“They plunder your cattle and sheep, rob your population, and occupy your water and grass.” "Land"
This is really not Zhu Xianming's hatred, because this is what really happened. The chieftains of various tribes and alliances adjacent to Junggar were really harassed by it, and they were deeply harmed. .
On the contrary, it was the Ming Dynasty, because it was not bordering the Ming Dynasty, so it was basically not harmed in any actual way, but its hegemony was challenged by it.
Next, the emperor made another speech, still analyzing the situation in the northwest for everyone, and finally concluded that it was indeed time to solve the problem.
As for how to issue it specificallySoldiers, how to allocate food, grass and weapons, and how to designate battle plans
These things are not discussed by the emperor, but will be handled by the Ministry of War, the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and the Anxi Xingdusi respectively.
After a conversation, which actually took only ten minutes, the interview came to an end.
No one could see the emperor's face clearly during the whole process. To be more precise, they did not dare to look at the emperor.
After shouting "Long Live the Mountain" again, Emperor Zhu Xianming left with the three princes, and then a group of courtiers were led out by the courtesy officers.
Only Zhasak Khan stayed behind and was taken to the Nuan Pavilion by the eunuch.
Wulimu is in his forties this year. He is considered an old man on the grassland, and he is no longer capable of ruling the tribes below.
He knew why he was left alone. It must have something to do with the performance of Envoy Zasak during the Holy Birthday Festival last year.
While waiting in the Nuan Pavilion, Wu Limu felt terrified at the thought of the emperor's anger.
He was afraid of being blamed by the emperor, and even more afraid of being abandoned by the emperor
Now that he is old, his son has difficulty convincing the public. Without the emperor's canonization, he may not be able to sit still. Sweat bit.
His younger brother Hu Zhiyi had a strong army and a strong horse, and he was eyeing his throne.
The mission’s random behavior last year was probably under Hu Zhiyi’s instigation.
Different from Wulimu's panic, the chieftains of the Khan King who came out of Qianqingmen all felt relaxed.
Obviously, the matter of meeting the emperor was extremely stressful for them.
The emperor's edict summoned them to the capital from thousands of miles away, which shows the great deterrence of the Ming Dynasty. It is normal for them to be frightened when they meet the emperor.
"Father, I saw the Thirteenth Master that my sister was talking about. He is quite good-looking, but he doesn't look like a warrior."
"My sister said that he is the number one in the Ming Dynasty." Warrior, people from all the missions last year were full of praise for him. He is really as powerful as everyone said."
Behind Su He, the leader of Namubu League, a young man whispered with an expression on his face. He looked elated.
But if you look closely, you can find that this young man is a woman disguised as a man, and she is also a beauty in her daughter's attire.
This girl is Su He's youngest daughter Nuo Min. Because she has been fond of Han culture and books since she was a child, she is also a famous talented girl in the Mu League.
This time when Su and His Majesty met, Nuo Min was the translator of Zheng'er Ba Jing and had the title of deputy envoy of the mission.
The sister she refers to is Qiqi Ge from the Junggar tribe. According to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, they are aunts and cousins.
After the last Shengshou Festival, various missions left the capital one after another. When Qiqige and his party returned to Junggar, they passed by the Mubu League, and Nuomin discovered the decadent Xurigan.
When they went to the capital before, Nuomin had seen this No. 1 warrior of Junggar, and her feeling was as hot as the sun.
But the rising sun on the return trip was as late as the sunset, and his whole person was full of death.
After some inquiring, Nuo Min found out what happened in the capital, which made her curious about Zhu Jinghong.
When Xuri Qian first came to Namubu League, the bravest warriors in the league couldn't stand a few moves under him. Nuo Min really couldn't imagine what kind of brave person it was to defeat him. Defeat it like a crushing force and even make it become decadent.
To this day, Nuo Min still remembers the confusing love-hate look in Qiqige's eyes when he mentioned Zhu Jinghong.
Unlike his younger daughter who was not familiar with the world, Su He had to be extra cautious and reminded in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. This is the palace, and he is the legitimate son of the emperor."
They used their own clan language, and they were not afraid that the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Ceremonies would hear them.
"Father, are we really going to fight next?"
"Are we and my cousin really going to become enemies?"
Although our positions are different, However, there are many marriages between the tribes and alliances on the grassland, and they are somewhat related to each other.
"This is not something you should ask." Su He's voice was sullen, and he regretted doting on his little daughter too much.
"Oh" Nuomin nodded. She was still afraid of her father being angry.
But when a person is born with curiosity, it is extremely difficult to get rid of it. Su He's rough suppression only made Nuomin more curious.
As for Zhu Jinghong, the emperor left Zasak alone to talk, leaving only the prince to accompany him. He and Zhu Jingyuan left first.
In order to support the New Deal during this period, Zhu Jingyuan became a busy man and needed to arrange various affairs secretly.
The two brothers talked for a while, and then Zhu Jingyuan left first, while Zhu Jinghong returned to Chengmingyuan.
"Thirteenth Master, the list of primary candidates has come out"
Deng An was indeed the most considerate and sensible person around him, so he took out a few pages of the manuscript directly. Have someone go to the Ministry of Rites and copy it back.
"Yes" responded, and Zhu Jinghong took the manuscript smoothly.
Soon he saw Baochai's name. Just when he was about to hand the manuscript back, he found the words "Yang Jingting" at the end.
As far as Zhu Jinghong knew, Ting Yatou was not present at the primary election these days, but now this girl passed directly.
Obviously, this was his mother's handiwork, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Take off the gauze hat on your head, take it into your hands, and then give it to the accompanying young eunuch.
Slowly walking forward, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice, "This time, the chieftains from various tribes came to Beijing and donated many precious leathers. The Holy Spirit gave me some."
"Choose some If it's in good condition, send it to Miss Xue for me."
The leathers that can be presented to the emperor are the best ones from the best, but Zhu Jinghong still let him choose the best ones, which really made Deng An sigh. The tongue is full.
Although he felt that it was impossible for Baochai to choose the princess, it still gave him the idea of pleasing with her in advance. Even if she was not the princess, she would definitelyNot weaker than the princess.
As Zhu Jinghong’s confidant eunuch, Deng Anke knew very well how important this Miss Xue was in his master’s heart.
"I understand"
Stop, Zhu Jinghong turned around and said, "It will be done in these two days, don't be too ostentatious"
"Yes"< /p>
When Zhu Jinghong walked up the steps, Yinglian came out of the hall to greet him. It could be seen that she was more cheerful than before.
This is because Yinglian has now been officially awarded to Zhu Jinghong and has become his first woman in name.
"Thirteenth Master, you are back so early"
As he walked up the steps, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile, "Why are you trying to drive me away?"
"How dare you, slave?" Yinglian stepped aside and bent down to make a gesture of invitation.
Compared with the restraint in Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong is obviously much more relaxed here, and Yinglian is naturally "happy to miss Shu".
Of course, the eunuchs under Zhu Jinghong would never find it easy to serve this master.
Stepping forward to straighten Yinglian's clothes, Zhu Jinghong took her hand and turned around to say, "By the way, give Yinglian some of those leathers too, so that this girl can have some decent clothes in winter."
"Yes"
