Chapter 401 The Belated Imperial Edict
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was August 30th.
In the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xianming was sitting behind the imperial desk, opening the memorial sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
What can be placed in front of him for his personal approval are naturally the most important military and national affairs.
For example, what Zhu Xianming was holding at this time was a memorial from the chieftain of Andu in Tibet. He said that the grain harvest this year was reduced and he hoped that the imperial court could reduce the amount of food apportioned and collected.
The imperial court established the Qinghai Xingdu Division in Tibet, and all the money and food supply issues for the guards were assigned to each chieftain.
For example, the Andu Chieftain reported above had to transfer 4,000 shi of grain to Qinghai Xingdu Division every year, plus 7,000 shi of horse feed.
"The Chieftain of Andu said that the harvest is not good, can Fusi of Nanzhen report anything?" Zhu Xianming asked in a deep voice.
For the external affairs of Nanzhen Fusi, various vassal states, various alliances and chieftains have placed spies and informants, and intelligence is transmitted back almost every day.
The person being questioned at this moment was Lu Tong, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. He had already prepared for the emperor's question.
"Back to Your Majesty, in the report from April to July, there was no mention of the poor harvest of Andu Chieftain"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming didn't think much about it. He picked up the pen and wrote, "The amount of money and food has been fixed, and Anke can change it at will. You will do your best to provide it. Please reject this."
After the approval was completed, Zhu Xianming put the memorial aside, and then picked it up again. One serving.
"Your Majesty, this is played by Jian'an Bo Wu Changhui. It is called the Langtai Jibu League and the Qataiji League. Most of the rotating troops sent are old soldiers, which are difficult to use."
The Jian'an Bo mentioned by Lu Tong is a third-rank Weiyuan general, Qian Shi, the governor of the Chinese Army's governor's office, and the current commander-in-chief of Anxi's capital.
When Lu Tong introduced it, Zhu Xianming was also reading the memorial carefully.
After reading this, Zhu Xianming came to the conclusion that Wu Changhui could no longer control the Northwest vassal.
In fact, last year he thought about replacing Wu Changhui, but because he was worried about war in the northwest, Zhu Xianming finally gave up the idea. After all, it was not wise to change generals on the spot.
But now, Wu Changhui could no longer deal with matters in the northwest, so he asked Zhu Xianming to reconsider the matter.
It was easy to replace Wu Changhui, but who to replace him became a problem. Zhu Xianming soon went through the available people, and then he identified two candidates.
But this matter cannot be rushed. He has to personally test the two candidates before finally deciding who will take office.
So Zhu Xianming approved Wu Changhui's memorial as soon as he wrote it. The content was to order Wu Changhui to strictly supervise and let the ministries and alliances re-screen qualified soldiers.
After the approval, Zhu Xianming picked up another copy, but it was written by Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian.
Yingtian, as the companion capital, naturally has an important position as the prefect, so he can report directly to the emperor. What's more, Jia Yucun is now responsible for the affairs of the Qingzhang.
“The Lord is as virtuous as heaven.Everyone is inspired by the surname. Today, the Qingzhang issue has been implemented deeply, and 50% of the households have reported their land, and the current governance is smooth."
In the first half of the memorial to Jiayu Village, the situation in Yingtian is well described. The matter of clearing the father-in-law is also progressing smoothly.
Only in the second half of the memorial, this guy started to raise difficulties, mainly due to the shirk of the major families and the indiscriminate deployment of subordinates.
Of course, Jia Yucun. The purpose of complaining is not to gain advantageous power from the emperor.
Originally, Zhu Xianming was dissatisfied with Jia Yucun’s complaints, but after reading the story, he found out that this guy wanted power, and a smile appeared on his face.
This person is worthy of Zhu Xianming's evaluation.
An official who is willing to use the butcher's knife to serve the emperor without even caring about his own reputation, even if this person has shortcomings in personal ethics, is not worthy of Zhu Xianming's evaluation. It didn't seem to be a problem at all.
I saw him writing the word "quasi" on the memorial. Just as he was about to put the memorial aside, he started writing again.
"Every name in the imperial court is determined. Although you are a loyal and diligent minister, you should not call yourself Lord in vain. I hope you will warn me."
The title "Lord" is only used by the twenty-first century in the inner court. The four yamen and the twenty-two guards of the Shangzhi army can be called, these are the emperor's absolutely trusted confidants.
Jia Yucun calls "the Lord" in the memorial, which is also seen from the fact that it is rare for civil servants to do this. There is really no limit to this person.
But the more such a person is, the more Zhu Xianming likes him
However, just after he finished approving the memorial, a young eunuch came in to report. It was said that the Queen was here.
After a few breaths, Yang Qingyin entered the Nuan Pavilion before Zhu Xianming summoned her.
"Kowtow to the Queen" and all the attendants were present. Pay homage.
"Yes"
In response, Yang Qingyin walked to the imperial cabinet and looked at the busy emperor.
Looked up. Looking at his married wife, Zhu Xianming smiled and said, "It's hard for the queen to come to the Qing Palace."
Yang Qingyin didn't answer the question and said in a bad tone, "Your Majesty has to deal with all kinds of things every day. It's really hard work."
While she was speaking, Lu Tong naturally moved a stool so that the Queen could sit down safely.
"Who said otherwise?" Zhu Xianming responded
"What's the matter?" It’s time to issue an edict and canonize the princess.”
Although the wedding has been completed, this only means that Baochai is Zhu Jinghong’s wife. Without canonization, she cannot be said to be the princess of the Ming Dynasty.
Put down your hands. After reading the memorial, Zhu Xianming slowly said, "I have other arrangements for this matter."
"How to arrange it?"
As if he knew that Yang Qingyin would come, Zhu Xianming was also prepared, so he came from the side of the desk He took out an edict.
Taking it from Lu Tong, Yang Qingyin looked strange after reading it, and then said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
Picking up another memorial, Zhu Xianming went on to say, "Since Old Thirteen wants to commit a crime, it is impossible for him to remain unpunished."
"Furthermore, Zhu Xianming The daughter-in-law of the family is not that easy to do. Let’s see how the girl behaves. If she behaves well, I will issue a decree and canonize her.”
The converse meaning of this is that if Xue Baochai does not behave well, , will take away her position as princess.
Seeing that Yang Qingyin was still thinking, Zhu Xianming smiled and asked, "How?"
Sighing, Yang Qingyin said, "That's it. If they can really work together, they can block it." "The world's long-lasting mouth"
With the support of his wife, Zhu Xianming ordered, "Call Cheng Ying and let him deliver the message."
"Yes"
Soon Cheng Ying called over, received the order and left.
Standing up and walking to the side of the imperial case, Yang Qingyin asked calmly, "Your Majesty has thought so carefully about Lao Shisan that I am no longer angry with him."
" Now that this has happened and this kid is so stubborn, what can I do to him?"
Picking up the tea cup, Zhu Xianming took a sip and sighed, "Although he is a bastard, he is still a bastard after all. Our son can only choose to forgive him."
If the prince and Prince Rui hear these words, they will definitely feel jealous. Their identities are obviously more of a minister than a son.
However, just after Zhu Xianming finished speaking, he suddenly changed his color and said, "You bastards, why don't you serve tea to the queen quickly?"
Because the emperor and empress were talking, how could anyone else dare to He came up casually and handed tea, that's why this happened.
When all the eunuchs were frightened, they heard Yang Qingyin say, "Okay, I'm not here to drink tea with you. Since you are so busy, I won't bother you."
< p>"Your Majesty, I am resigning""Queen, walk slowly"
After the queen left, after some thought, Zhu Xianming finally smiled helplessly, shook his head and continued to read the memorial.
Prince Xiang’s Mansion, in the Cunxin Hall.
Zhu Jinghong was sitting behind the desk, leaning on the table and building blocks. These were things he found from the warehouse and were gifts from Prince Zhongshun.
Although they are called building blocks, they are actually made of finely carved jade. You can build a palace according to the diagram, but you just need to be extra patient.
Baochai has always been very patient, but today she was a little uneasy, so she did not play with Zhu Jinghong, but sat on a chair on the side of the desk, holding a book as if to read. read.
At this time, Zhu Jinghong said, "Baochai is yours and can't run away, so why should you be anxious?"
"Having said that, I am always a little uneasy"
"Then you have to learn from me. It is a sign of maturity and stability to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you."
However, after Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, there were eunuchs outside reporting the arrival of the imperial envoy.
"Look, isn't this coming?"
I saw him standing up and picking up a crown.Put the hat on your head and walk outside when you speak.
"Wait a minute"
Being stopped by Baochai, Zhu Jinghong stopped, with a slight doubt in his eyes.
I saw Baochai walking up to him, standing on tiptoes and reaching out to adjust his crown and hat, and then said, "Let's go."
Zhu Jinghong smiled, and then led him Baochai went out.
The order was received in the Chengyun Hall, where incense tables and ceremonial guards had already been set up, just waiting for the arrival of the imperial envoy delivering the order.
When Zhu Jinghong arrived, Cheng Ying and his party were already there.
What puzzled him was that although Cheng Ying came with the imperial edict, his entourage did not bring anything else.
Baochai also discovered this. The imperial envoy who passed the order did not bring the princess's treasure book, which was not a good sign.
Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to ask, he heard Cheng Ying say, "Thirteenth Master, please accept the order."
"My son, I would like to ask my father, Holy Father, long live my emperor. ”
After leading Baochai to bow down, Zhu Jinghong was ready to listen to the holy teachings.
"The emperor is bound by heaven, and the edict says"
Edicts are used to promulgate general administrative orders throughout the country, documents are used to announce major events to civil and military officials, and edicts are used to admonish individuals. or instructions.
"I have long wanted to return to farming, but I am so involved in state affairs that it is difficult to fulfill my desires. I am really sorry for this in my life."
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong raised his head. He thought Cheng Ying is pronounced wrong.
I have the intention of returning to farming. I, the emperor, want to farm. Isn’t this a joke?
"The emperor’s thirteenth son, Hong, is my direct heir. He should have a heart of pure filial piety and devote himself to everything." "Father's Ambition"
I'm going to fulfill the old man's wish. What does this mean? The more Zhu Jinghong listened, the more outrageous he felt.
"There is a royal field in Shanglin Garden, which is where I personally farm. I hope you will live here, dedicate yourself to farming, take care of it carefully, and concentrate on it."
After hearing what happened, Zhu Jinghong was completely They were all confused.
According to the old man's wishes, he will go to Shanglinyuan to work as a farmer, and he is not allowed to leave without being summoned.
"I admire this"
After reading, Cheng Ying smiled and said, "Thirteenth Master, please accept the order."
"Eunuch Cheng, this matter "Does my mother know?"
But after asking Zhu Jinghong, he knew that what he said was nonsense, and it was impossible to hide this matter from the queen.
"The Queen is aware of this matter"
If this is the case, then there is no possibility of change. Obviously the matter of choosing a concubine has not passed yet. This is the punishment given by the old man. Zhu Jinghong thought .
"My son accepts the imperial edict"
After he received the edict, Cheng Ying immediately came forward to help him up.
"Eunuch Cheng, my father really asked me to farm"
"Before leaving, the Lord also said that it is almost the planting season, I hope you will not miss the planting season"< /p>
Now is the sowing season, which means that wheat is sown. It will be planted in September this year and harvested in June next year.
In other words, even if he only harvests this one harvest, heThey all have to stay in Shanglinyuan for nearly half a year.
I can't be restricted by the old man, I have to find a way to escape, Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
Training the army and manufacturing weapons are two errands that Zhu Jinghong takes on at the same time, but they are both carried out in Shanglin Garden. It is actually not easy for him to escape because he can't even find a decent excuse.
And he can't cheat, otherwise the old emperor will be upset, and he can still find ways to deal with him later.
For farming, just plant flowers, Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
When he was in the orphanage, he did a lot of farm work and had some experience in farming. Moreover, the 21st century is the information age, and all kinds of messy knowledge points can be learned.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's expression of thoughtfulness, Cheng Ying added, "The Lord also said that he would set out immediately after receiving the order. I hope Thirteenth Master will not miss the time."
At this moment , Baochai, who was following Zhu Jinghong, asked, "I dare to ask my father-in-law, I wonder if the prince can have anyone accompanying him on this trip?" The border has been settled."
Baochai asked again, "Can I go with the prince?"
"The Lord has not ordered this," Cheng Ying replied.
The old eunuch knew that this was a test point set by the emperor. If Baochai didn't take the initiative to go with her, she would be directly judged as unqualified, and she could be dismissed later if she found an excuse.
"Then I will go with the prince"
According to the emperor's instructions, Cheng Ying said, "I am going to the royal fields. The work is hard, and the princess does not have to suffer like this."
In fact, when Baochai proposed to go together, Zhu Jinghong also realized that this was probably a test for the two of them.
Baochai looked solemnly and said, "Excuse me, father-in-law, please turn to the father-in-law. As the saying goes, husband and wife are of one mind and have the same virtue. Since my son and I have married the prince as his wife, how can we only enjoy the honor and sit back and watch the prince work hard"
< p>"Why are you bothering me?" Cheng Ying continued to talk. He was also completing his task."I have made up my mind, and I still hope that my father-in-law will play the role of father."
Nodding, Cheng Ying said slowly, "Since the empress has this trip, how dare I say anything? Let's go with Master Thirteen."
After saying this, Cheng Ying looked at Zhu Jinghong and asked, "What do you think, Master Thirteen?"
Zhu Jinghong looked at Baochai with a smile on his face. Baochai said, "Baochai, you have to think about it."
Baochai smiled and said, "There is no need to think about it when the husband sings and the wife follows suit."
Zhu Jinghong smiled even more, and then said, "Then let's go up. Let’s stay in Linyuan for a few days”
Cheng Ying immediately said, “Thirteenth Master, in this case let’s set off now”
“Now”
“Exactly”< /p>
Although he was a little surprised, Zhu Jinghong still said, "Let me clean it up."
Cheng Ying smiled and replied, "Thirteenth Master, as long as you have enough food and clothing, go to Shanglin Garden." Everything is ready, you can just go over there, the carriage is waiting outside."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This situation at the scene has already beenIt looked weird and gave Zhu Jinghong a very bad feeling.
"We have to bring some change of clothes"
Cheng Ying immediately replied, "We are all ready, just go and do it, Mr. Thirteenth"
"Then "Okay, let's go"
So Zhu Jinghong and Baochai went out together, got into a carriage brought by Cheng Ying, and headed towards the imperial city under the escort of a large number of soldiers.
Half an hour later, inside Kunning Palace.
The news from Prince Xiang's Mansion has been sent back. After learning the situation, Yang Qingyin nodded with satisfaction, looked at the emperor and asked, "If the Xue family girl doesn't ask to go with her, she will really be killed."
p>Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice, "If she doesn't mention it, she will have lost her duty as a wife, so why leave her?"
"It's just that the daily diet you set is too much." It's a bit harsh and difficult." Yang Qingyin looked distressed, after all, that was her biological son.
“Hardship is not just about suffering a little bit, what does it matter?”
Looking at his wife, Zhu Xianming said frankly, “When I started the rebellion, I held my head high to seize the throne, and you didn’t do the same. They risked their lives to follow, and the hardships they suffered were nothing compared to this."
In front of Yang Qingyin, Zhu Xianming never hid the incident of Donghua Sect back then.
"Okay, okay, don't mention what happened back then, it's not a glorious thing." Yang Qingyin looked sad, and she thought of her two sons. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
