Chapter 385 Housewarming
At the end of the banquet, the emperor himself left, and Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Jingyuan also left immediately. Only Zhu Jinghong was left behind.
In the study room of Kunning Palace, Yang Qingyin looked at her son in front of her, feeling both relieved and uncomfortable.
Time flies so fast, even the youngest son has grown up, and is about to move to live outside the palace, separated from her mother by many palace walls.
"Thirteen, according to the ancestors, you will move out within this month. From now on, my mother and I will rarely see each other."
Zhu Jinghong is an adult, so he has to move out When looking at the palace, what stands out is the difference between inside and outside.
Unless summoned by the queen, he can no longer enter Kunning Palace at will.
As for entering the palace every day to pay respects, that is the responsibility of Princess Xiang and has little to do with Zhu Jinghong, Prince Xiang.
What stands out about these man-made "obstacles" is the difference between an individual's internal and external aspects, and the differences between his ruler and his ministers.
"Mom, if you want to see your son, just send someone to tell him something," Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
Looking at his son who was no different from before, Yang Qingyin said helplessly, "It's different after all."
"Do you know why I appointed you as King Xiang"
Taking off the crown and hat on his head, Zhu Jinghong walked up to his mother's side, and while rubbing his shoulders, he simply replied, "I don't know, son."
"He who supports you is also a helper."
"Although your fourth brother is the prince now, there are many people who want to harm him secretly. My son is brave and unparalleled in the world and can help your fourth brother secure his position in the East Palace."
This is my plan , which really surprised Zhu Jinghong.
So he immediately answered, "Don't worry, mother, my son will never let anyone hurt the fourth brother."
In other words, as long as no one harms Zhu Jingyuan's life, he does not violate it. promise.
Nodding, Yang Qingyin continued, "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, you have killed me and I have killed you. There is no sense of filial piety in the eyes of the world. This is definitely not a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
"If things go on like this, more and more people will covet the East Palace, if this continues"
At this point, Yang Qingyin couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhu Jinghong's "naturally stupid" look.
She found that she was getting more and more confused. What was the use of telling Lao Shisan these things? How could this kid understand the key points?
"Thirteen, what are you thinking about?"
After scratching his head, Zhu Jinghong said, "My son is wondering if he can let the maid serve him after moving out."
These words really shocked Yang Qingyin, and she could only sigh once again that her son had grown up, and besides dancing with guns and sticks, he would also miss women.
"You have remembered what I just said"
"Remember, you have to help fourth brother"
Looking at the younger son's face Eyes, Yang Qingyin asked extremely seriously, "Tell me honestly, will you do what you promised?"
"Yes" Zhu Jinghong knew that he must not hesitate at this time.
He nodded with satisfaction,Yang Qingyin just smiled and said, "Okay, you can go."
"My son takes leave."
After saluting, Zhu Jinghong walked out of the main hall, only to see Zhu Yunsheng and others waiting in the east hall.
"Brother Thirteen, come here"
"What's the matter"
Zhu Yunsheng stepped forward, pretending to be a young adult, and said, "Today you It’s your birthday, and we plan to celebrate it for you.”
Looking at the people in front of him, Zhu Jinghong couldn’t help but find it funny, and immediately said, “Thank you very much, then.”
“Then you can go back and feel at ease. Wait, we will come to you later"
"Okay"
After agreeing, Zhu Jinghong added, "You all have to come"
" That's natural," Zhu Yunsheng replied quickly.
Now that the crowning ceremony has been completed, Zhu Jinghong has become King Xiang, and he is required to move out of the palace as soon as possible.
He himself couldn't wait for it. After all, there were too many rules and regulations in the palace, which really affected his performance.
After returning to Chengmingyuan surrounded by eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong immediately ordered, "Everyone pack your things quickly. We will move out in two days."
"Yes" Deng An was the first to answer. .
The palace regulations not only restricted Zhu Jinghong, but also the eunuchs.
"The Holy One has given one hundred and fifty chamberlains, and together with the existing chamberlains in our courtyard, there are more than two hundred people."
Sitting on the chair, looking at the people in front of me Among the three capable eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "When there are more people, we have to establish rules so that everyone can perform their duties so that there will be no chaos."
It is impossible for all of the more than two hundred eunuchs in Prince Xiang's Mansion to be like Zhu Jinghong. It is still necessary to establish corresponding systems for docking.
"Yu Hai should stay with me and choose twenty people to serve in the palace."
"Yes" Yu Hai stepped forward and responded.
"Deng An"
"The slave is here" Deng An was both excited and nervous at the moment.
"You can choose four people to take charge of the dian book, dian meal, cart rack, and sweeping. You can also choose one hundred and twenty servants to serve you."
There are about two hundred people in total. Deng An occupies more than half of the place, confirming his title as the first eunuch of the palace.
"The slave accepts the order and will definitely live up to the prince's trust"
"Zhang Pingan"
"The slave is here" Zhang Pingan immediately paid homage.
"You will choose four people to take charge of the temple, treasures, rituals and warehouses, and then allocate 60 people to take charge of them."
"The slaves will be ordered to be in charge of the prince." "It's good to have these four places"
In the pre-Ming Dynasty, because all the vassal kings were sealed outside, the palace's ceremonial books and other institutions were all managed by civil servants sent by the court.
But now the vassal king is more restricted and his status is no longer respected, so all aspects of his functions have been weakened. The palace only has two long historians dispatched by the court.
Not only the palace is like this, but even the official offices of the East Palace where the prince is located are only less than one-half full, and many positions are vacant.
About the various tasks of the palaceZhu Jinghong had already made plans for his fate, and today he just gave instructions.
In fact, in addition to the eunuchs, the emperor also assigned dozens of maids to him, and now they have all been sent to the palace.
Today he asked the queen if she could have a maid serve her, which was all nonsense.
To move now, there are so many things that need to be busy, and Zhu Jinghong has not been idle all afternoon.
When the sun went down and Zhu Jinghong was wondering if Zhu Yunsheng would come, a group of girls had already arrived.
Behind them, in addition to the routine attendants and palace maids, there were also several palace maids carrying food boxes. There were more than thirty people in front and behind.
"Brother Thirteen, I'm here to celebrate your birthday," Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.
"Third sister, what good things did you bring?"
What Zhu Jinghong asked was of course not the food in the food box, but the brocade boxes brought by other palace maids. .
"It's a gift we prepared."
"Oh, I think it's priceless." Zhu Jinghong led everyone into the palace.
Walking beside Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Yunsheng said slowly, "It's okay to say it's precious. After all, it's all our hearts. It's right to say it's not precious. After all, it's just some paper with writing on it."
For the royal family, all kinds of gold and silverware are ordinary, only the heart can have the so-called value.
As for Zhu Yunsheng, he could show his heart and write a few words of blessing and good luck to his brother.
"Since it was a gift from my third sister, how could I not cherish it?" Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile.
Surrounded by a group of bright-eyed girls, Zhu Jinghong was naturally in a good mood.
"I'm not the only one who gave you something."
In addition to her, several attendants also wrote a few words to express Zhu Jinghong's birthday wishes.
Looking at the girls surrounding him, Zhu Jinghong smiled more and more and said, "Thank you very much, girls."
Although he was familiar with Zhu Jinghong, as a dignified prince, he held up his hands and thanked her, which still made him uncomfortable. Several girls were deeply shocked.
Being gentle or polite to others may be a pretense, but with an identity like Zhu Jinghong’s, you can do whatever you want.
But he is so humble, which can only show that he is a true gentleman. This is Daiyu's judgment.
When Zhu Jinghong led the girls to the dining room, the maids had already arranged the dishes, bowls and chopsticks.
Zhu Jinghong glanced at it and saw that it was indeed his favorite food, which showed that his sister had put his heart into it.
Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to invite everyone to sit down, he heard Zhu Yunsheng say, "Please take a seat, Brother Thirteen, the birthday boy."
"Please take a seat, Brother Thirteen."
How many times? All the girls spoke at the same time, and it looked like they had rehearsed in advance.
After Zhu Jinghong was crowned king, he had to be called "Your Highness" in formal situations and "Prince" in private. Only those with close relationships continued to be called "Thirteenth Master".
"Well, I won't be polite."
As he spoke, ZhuJinghong took his seat, and then he called the girls to take their seats.
After refusing several times, the women carefully sat on the stool.
"I have something to say first. There is no hierarchy in today's banquet. You can do whatever you want without being restrained."
As soon as Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, Zhu Yunsheng answered, "I haven't heard it for ten seconds." Third brother doesn't treat you as outsiders."
Originally, this was no problem, but with Zhu Yunsheng's tone, it sounded strange.
Especially Yang Jingting, she had probably guessed the Queen's arrangement and regarded herself as Princess Xiang in her heart. She felt even more pleased when she heard this.
"Thirteenth Master, I offer you a toast and wish you good fortune, longevity and longevity," Xiangyun was the first to speak.
Although he was a little younger, Zhu Jinghong liked Xiangyun's heroic spirit, so he raised his glass and said, "I also wish that girl Yun can learn from ancient and modern times, and be both talented and beautiful."
Xiangyun smiled and clinked glasses with Zhu Jinghong, and then drank them all in one gulp, just like Qianyun's heroic spirit.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jingting also raised her glass and said, "My little sister also wishes my thirteenth brother a long life and a hundred years of worry-free life"
"Thank you, sister Ting"
What I brought this time was fruit wine, which just tasted like wine, and there was no possibility of getting drunk.
Everyone was drinking and talking, and the happy atmosphere made it an unforgettable birthday party.
Half an hour later, the banquet came to an end, but Zhu Jinghong showed no intention of picking up the conversation.
"Girl Lin, if you have something to say, don't hold it in your heart for a long time. You may get sick easily if you hold it in for a long time."
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong poured himself another glass. Liquor "Don't just take medicine on weekdays. You have to exercise more to get better."
"Thank you Thirteenth Master" Daiyu was really touched. Few people thought about her like this.
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's concerned words, Yang Jingting felt a little sour in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her mood and could deal with it calmly as long as Baochai was not there.
"Thirteenth brother, you are moving out of the palace, why don't you care about my biological sister?" Zhu Yunsheng looked dissatisfied.
She has said this many times, but Zhu Jinghong never took it to heart, which naturally made her particularly dissatisfied.
"Although I have moved out, if Third Sister wants to see me, she can just come to my house directly. Otherwise, I can come to the palace to see you."
These words immediately Zhu Yunsheng was interested, so she asked casually, "Is your house fun?"
Zhu Jinghong replied, "There is a big garden in your house, with pavilions and pavilions, and many exotic flowers are planted there." Strange grass, it’s quite interesting when you think about it”
“I’m afraid that Brother Thirteen will find me annoying and won’t welcome me here”
Looking at Daiyu Xiangyun and the others, Zhu Jinghong laughed. He said, "What are you talking about? We are biological brothers and sisters, how can we not welcome you?"
While everyone was chatting, a female official from Kunning Palace came to urge her on Yi's orders, so that this incident banquetIt had to end.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Jinghong was focused on training.
This time the foreign Khans and chieftains arrived in order to let them send troops and money to fight. In order to show their confidence in winning this battle, the emperor definitely wanted to show them the might of the Ming Dynasty's military.
The only ones who can take on this task are the North Four Guards who are undergoing training.
Although it has not been tested in actual combat, everyone must admit that the trained army at least looks majestic and has great combat effectiveness.
Similar to the last Holy Shou Festival military parade, this time in addition to showing people the army, they also had to be taught new combat methods in order to show the power of the Ming Dynasty.
But on March 17, Zhu Jinghong did not go to Shanglin Garden because he was moving today.
So the things that need to be moved have been transferred out one after another in the past two days. Today is the day when he himself takes charge of the palace.
Zhu Jinghong finished washing up early in the morning and put on the four-cup collared robe that represented his status as a prince.
Then he went to Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace respectively, said goodbye to his parents, and returned to Chengmingyuan after being taught a lesson.
When the auspicious moment arrived, he walked out of the main hall surrounded by eunuchs.
At this moment, Hou Jing and other guards came to see him off outside the palace, all of them smiling. After Zhu Jinghong moved out, it would be more convenient for them to meet.
"Meet the Thirteenth Master"
"Why are you here? Why don't you go to Shanglinyuan and keep an eye on it?" Zhu Jinghong looked dissatisfied.
Everyone knew that he was just pretending, so they heard Zhang Lin say, "The Thirteenth Master is happy to move to a new house. How can I not come to see him off?"
Following that, Hou Jing said, "That's right. I don’t know if I can go to Thirteenth Master’s house and ask for a drink in the next two days.”
As he walked down the steps, Zhu Jinghong said slowly; “I haven’t moved out yet, but you are still thinking about coming to my house.” Eat and drink, there are people like you in the world."
Everyone naturally stepped aside and listened to Wang Jie say, "Master Thirteen is right. I think Brother Hou should reflect on it."
"Okay, okay, I'll just reflect on it."
Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked out of the gate of Chengmingyuan.
Looking back at the gate of Chengmingyuan, Zhu Jinghong said, "Okay, don't waste time here, hurry back to Linyuan and stare at it."
"Maybe just these two days. , those chieftains of the Khan King went to Shanglinyuan, if something went wrong, it would not be good for everyone."
"Go back all"
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong's words were solemn, and no one would Dare to smile playfully, salute one by one and then leave.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong also got on the sedan chair, got up and headed east.
When passing by the East Palace, the prince sent someone to intercept him and specially invited him into the East Palace to talk.
On the scene, his elder brother Yin Yin gave instructions, hoping that his younger brother would be humble and learn from his studies after leaving the palace, and not do those messy things.
Evidently Zhu Jingyuan had heard about the bad things done by the concubine brothers who had left the palace, and was afraid that his younger brother would follow suit.
The two brothers talked for a while before Zhu Jinghong was able to walk out of the East Palace and continue to rush outside the imperial city.
At this moment, outside Dong'an Gate, hundreds of sergeants from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division have gathered, as well as two to three hundred flag bearers and guards. They are specially responsible for escorting Zhu Jinghong to the house.
The flags, flags and ritual vessels representing his status as a prince were now lined up at the front of the team.
When Zhu Jinghong's sedan appeared, the escorting soldiers immediately adjusted their formation to protect his sedan in the middle.
"Your Majesty, do you want to set off?" Yu Hai asked outside the sedan chair.
"Let's go" Zhu Jinghong responded.
The sedan continued to move forward, and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division routinely closed the road, so he was able to go without any hindrance.
Sitting in the sedan, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but wonder whether he would be assassinated again this time. After all, he had encountered it more or less before.
However, today the whole process was smooth until his sedan landed.
Logically speaking, he could be carried into the palace, but Zhu Jinghong specifically ordered the sedan to fall outside the gate of the palace. Please remember to collect it.
