"Father--"
Early in the morning, the emperor woke up and after eating, his eldest son Zhu Cunkang (Mu radical) ran over and greeted him diligently.
Accompanying him were Zhu Cunhua, the second son of the emperor, Zhu Cunqu, the king of Wu, Zhu Cunbai, the fourth son of the emperor, and Zhu Cunyu, the fifth son of the emperor.
These five sons are all over six years old (virtual age). They have already entered school and begun to learn. They are strict and seem to be quite sensible.
Although the leader was Zhu Cunkang, Zhu Cunqu took half a step back and seemed to be able to compete with him.
The princes were also very knowledgeable and basically surrounded the two of them.
This little cleverness can be seen everywhere in the palace, and every move is full of meaning.
"Get up!" Zhu Yixi glanced at the sky and then looked at the huge clock in the room. Only then did she realize that it was nine o'clock before she knew it.
I did get up a little late.
"Go study hard!"
"Yes!" Several little guys walked away in small steps.
In order to improve education, the princes' school was located in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, which could be said to be teaching right under their noses.
Not only the prince can be under a lot of pressure, but the gentlemen are also under a lot of pressure.
Of course, even though he got up late, Zhu Yixi would not feel embarrassed. He was used to it these days.
Afterwards, Tian Ren ran over in small steps. Although his footsteps were eager, he was filled with joy: "Reporting to the Emperor, I am very happy——"
It turned out that three months ago, the weather was too hot. The emperor was playing in the bath to escape the heat, and a group of palace ladies were waiting on him.
At that time, the clothes were getting thinner and the clothes were uneven, so it was inevitable that something would happen between you and me.
Of course, the emperor is not that ruthless person. As long as he is lucky enough, he will at least be named a beauty.
And if you serve diligently, you will be promoted to Jieyu, and your special favor will become Zhaoyi. But once you have children, it will be particularly different.
If she is a princess, she will be given the title of concubine, and if she is a prince, she will at least be given the title of concubine.
In the absence of imperial concubines, the concubine position can be ranked after the queen and the concubine. In the huge Forbidden City, there are only a dozen or so.
"The doctor from the Tai Hospital has checked the pulse, and it is indeed a happy pulse."
Tian Ren came over with a smile on his face: "The one who is pregnant is Chu Meiren. Her family is a scholar and her family is clean."
"Oh!" There were too many children, and Zhu Yixi was not happy for a while. She was used to it.
Seeing that the emperor was a little confused, Tian Ren whispered: "It's the one you praised her for..."
"She!"
Zhu Yixi immediately remembered the word "jade bowl upside down" and suddenly realized.
"Follow the rules!"
"By the way, I have to serve you well. As long as you spread your wings for the royal family, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, you have to keep it."
"Don't worry, I will personally watch it."
Tian Ren said solemnly.
Zhu Yixi was just playing insurance.
There are so many private aspects of the Forbidden City that no one can be too careful.
If a concubine is pregnant, it is the most basic thing for a doctor to check her pulse.
The inner court also wanted to check the emperor's living files.
And counting from the date of conception, after carefully checking the emperor's daily records, we can infer that Chu Meiren was conceived on August 23, and the delivery date is expected to be around June 7 next year.
Whenever something went wrong, Dongchang would not let them go, and he would not let them go until they were forced to question Chou Yinmao.
Therefore, in those unified dynasties, it is absolutely impossible to exchange the civet cat for the prince, or to cuckold the emperor.
Although there is still a long way to go before the delivery date, there are many things that the inner court needs to prepare as early as possible:
The nanny, the nanny, the nurse, and other "masters" such as sewing, washing, lighting, cooking stoves, etc. - even the nanny, are all ready.
As long as the baby is born, you can listen to it at any time.
As soon as Chu Meiren left the imperial doctor, the queen came to greet her with a group of concubines.
Needless to mention rewards, they are all things that will not exceed the rules.
Seemingly seeing that his family's financial resources were low, the queen rewarded him with another hundred gold yuan.
Seeing the golden yuan suddenly, Chu Meiren was a little stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had seen a counterfeit currency.
The eunuch assigned to the side explained: "Your Majesty, this gold round was originally intended to be issued and circulated throughout the world just like the silver round."
"But gold can't be compared to silver. It's too valuable. Just grind some gold powder and it's worth a sum of money. The imperial court is already short of gold, so it can't be allowed to be taken advantage of by the people."
"That's true." Chu Qingli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
To put it bluntly, the stock of gold is too small. Even if it is all minted into gold coins, it will not be able to make a splash in the face of the huge population of the Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to lose money.
"I cast some before, and the Holy One included them all in the inner court as a reward. This is very affordable."
She covered her stomach and saw the magnificence and the box of golden balls. She suddenly felt that the pain was not in vain. Even if it was red and swollen, it was worth it.
When the palace affairs were dealt with here, the Ministry of Rites wrote in the title book, and the words were Dutch and foreign affairs.
After the Ministry of Rites split the Lifanyuan, a large number of internal vassals (chieftains) and outer vassals (Korea) were placed under the disposal of the Lifanyuan.
The Ministry of Etiquette is still in charge of affairs concerning the few foreigners such as Franji people.
"The Dutch actually want to send envoys to Beijing for an audience?"
Zhu Yixi was shocked.
If we say that an embassy was established in the capital before, its function was more like a commercial office. Those who came and went were all engaged in trade. The ambassador was also busy with trade, and at most he collected some information about the Ming Dynasty.
But today's meeting is the first time, and it is also something that Ming Dynasty has never seen.
Meeting with an envoy from a country that was not a vassal state seemed very rude and abrupt to the officials.
Is the emperor so easy to see?
Zhu Yixi knew exactly what the Dutch were thinking.
After seizing Taiwan, the Dutch finally felt relieved and had to compromise, but they realized that the huge Ming Dynasty navy was the biggest obstacle to their monopoly in Southeast Asia.
But at the same time, the Ming Dynasty's trade also made them greedy, so that they were in a dilemma.
So they wanted to draw a meridian between the two countries to distinguish their spheres of influence, just like Portugal and Spain.
But such a proposal was immediately rejected by the Ministry of Rites.
What a joke, a mere barbarian dares to point fingers at the Ming Dynasty?
To restore national power, do you have the qualifications to be equal to Ming Dynasty?
After encountering Man Tou Bao, the Dutch felt that it was not worth the time to deal with those bureaucrats, so they wanted to directly attack the emperor.
With the consent of the dictator and emperor, how dare those bureaucrats violate it?
Therefore, in this meeting with the emperor, economic interests came second, and political interests, protecting the forces in Southeast Asia became the main content.
Zhu Yixi was not interested in the meridian between Minghe.
Because the interests of Southeast Asia have been divided up, and the Dutch have eaten up 80% of it, how can we talk about this?
