At this moment, in the Jinshen Hall behind the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading and doing morning lessons.
However, for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't turn a page. His mind was no longer on the book, and he couldn't help but turn his thoughts to his grandson.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about himself and smiling, a eunuch reported back.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Changsun is awake."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he came to his senses and couldn't help but ask, "My grandson likes the new clothes we prepared for him."
"I like it. Your Highness Changsun likes it very much. His Highness looked at it in front of the bronze mirror for a long time and was always smiling." the clever little eunuch replied.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became even happier.
Zhu Yuanzhang slept really soundly yesterday. He had not slept so comfortably for who knows how many years.
Especially after the eldest son Zhu Biao left, he couldn't sleep every day and night. He could only rely on memorials to numb himself. He was really sleepy, so he went to bed. .
Sleeping for less than three hours a day can do immeasurable harm to the body.
If I hadn't had a good physical foundation when I was young, I would have made the leap long ago, just by relying on one breath to hold on.
He knew that he could not fall yet. Once he fell, this huge Ming Dynasty would fall into a huge turmoil.
The moment he woke up in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was dreaming. It wasn't until he saw Da Sun next to him that he realized it was real.
Seeing his eldest son sleeping soundly next to him, Zhu Yuanzhang got up gently without disturbing his eldest son.
After asking Liu He, he found out that Da Sun stayed by his side yesterday and went to bed very late.
Zhu Yuanzhang told Liu He not to disturb his eldest grandson. This was the first time in ten years that his eldest grandson had come back to sleep.
Naturally, I need to sleep more.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who got up first, originally wanted to cancel this morning court meeting.
But thinking of some of the suggestions put forward by Da Sun, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that he should discuss it with the ministers.
Whether it is the policy of separation of military and political affairs or the suggestions on the imperial examination, this is very important to today's Ming Dynasty.
The imperial examination matter can still be postponed. After all, the compilation of lesson plans also takes time and cannot be done overnight.
But regarding the separation of military and political affairs, it is indeed very important and goes straight to the core of power.
From the time he raised the army to the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang understood the importance of military power very well. If he could allow future generations of emperors to have strong control over the military power of the Ming Dynasty.
So no matter what problems you encounter, there is no need to worry. As Dasun said, in the worst case, the civil servants can be replaced.
If this kind of idea of governing the country is passed down, the Ming Dynasty will be passed down for a very long time.
When the morning court was about to begin, Zhu Yuanzhang received news again that Dasun was going to Tianjie Temple and asked someone to prepare a car.
"Dasun, please take our carriage when traveling. It will be more comfortable."
"Let Liu He quickly choose a good daughter for our eldest grandson. Our eldest grandson blamed me yesterday, saying that it was about finding a wife. It should be my grandfather's business."
"The best thing is to make a list for us in the next few days. Then we can show it to my eldest grandson to see which family's daughter he likes the most."
"I obey the decree."
...........
Zhu Ying walked towards Qianqing Gate, where the carriage was already waiting in front of the gate.
"Jiang Wei, do you want to come with me?" Zhu Ying asked casually, seeing Jiang Wei following him.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered me to serve at Your Highness's side." Jiang Wei bowed and replied.
Now Jiang Wei is almost entirely focused on Zhu Ying. Although his name has not been corrected yet, a blind person can see that His Highness Changsun Ding is definitely the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about it.
Zhu Ying was not surprised and soon arrived in front of Qianqing's gate.
However, looking at the carriage parked below, everyone was a little confused.
In front of the Qianqing Gate, there were thirty guards in royal robes, and four Tiqi in front and behind.
This number of people is nothing, it is still relatively small. The key is the carriage.
What kind of carriage is this? This is clearly an RV.
This is a four-wheeled carriage, made entirely of copper, with dragons and phoenixes on the roof, and various carvings on the whole body. It looks like two small houses, with a fence around it.
There are eight horses in the front frame. The eight high-headed horses are all white and without any mottled colors.
Looking from the outside, there are two parts of the car. The front looks like a tea room, with incense already lit, and the back has a bed with mattresses on it.
There are hanging vines around the carriage to provide privacy.
This kind of car is probably the most top-notch luxury in Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying looked at it for a long time before coming back to his senses.
"This is His Majesty's carriage. Your Majesty is currently preparing for the morning court at Jinshen Palace. Knowing that His Majesty is going to Tianjie Temple, he specifically asked me to make arrangements to come over."
In front of the carriage was Guo Zhong, eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, who was also an old acquaintance of Zhu Ying.
When Zhu Ying was reviewing memorials at his house by the Qinhuai River, Guo Zhong was always waiting beside him.
Zhu Ying was silent.
Good guy, what do you call this thing, a carriage?
But after reacting, Zhu Ying was a little eager to give it a try.
After all, this horse-drawn sedan can be regarded as a top-notch car in the world today. It is luxurious enough.
Zhu Ying walked up calmly, Guo Zhong followed, and Jiang Yu got on his horse.
"Your Highness, do you want to set off now?" Jiang Wei lowered his head and asked on the horse.
Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
Immediately under Jiang Wei's instructions, the carriage began to move slowly.
Guo Zhong on the side began to make tea for Zhu Ying. There were even various snacks on the table.
However, just when Zhu Ying was about to enjoy it, Guo Zhong took out a pile of memorials from the carriage and said with fear:
"Your Majesty, these are the entertainment items that His Majesty brought to His Majesty for viewing on the road."
Zhu Ying paused as she held the snack in her hand.
What a good old man, I have to share the memorial at all times.
The combination of snacks and tea was considered breakfast, but Zhu Ying was not satisfied with the pastries.
Then he told Jiang Gu, who was following on horseback outside: "Jiang Gu, send someone to my house to inform Uncle Zhang and ask him to prepare it for me as soon as possible."
"Follow the order." After Jiang Yu finished his reply, he immediately stepped forward and ordered the Tiqi in front.
Under Jiang Wei's arrangement, two Tiqi immediately left the team, began to accelerate, and galloped forward.
Zhu Ying is a person who enjoys things.
Since establishing his own power and having enough money, Zhu Ying has never treated him badly in all aspects of life.
Even though the capital was not allowed to wear silk clothes, Zhu Ying's underwear was still made of silk, with just a layer of linen on the outside.
Not to mention the cost of food and drink.
After all, Zhu Ying didn't bring many people with him from Peking to the capital. At first, the cooks in the teahouse all came with Zhu Ying.
For example, all kinds of fine wines in the house, including seasonings and other supplies, were also delivered immediately by people from the recent Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
In Zhu Ying's words, after coming here to Ming Dynasty for so many years, can't I enjoy it?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying pushed the memorial aside without hesitation and said, "Let's leave it for now. I haven't had breakfast and I'm not in the mood to read it yet."
In response, Guo Zhong could only smile bitterly and said: "Yes, Your Highness."
The luxurious and extravagant emperor's car and four-wheeled RV appeared in the palace. However, when the maids and eunuchs on the road saw it, they stopped and waited, waiting for the emperor's carriage to leave before continuing to walk.
Even the captain patrolling the palace knelt down on one knee and waited with his head lowered.
When leaving the Daming Palace from Qianqing Gate, you must pass through the back left gate, pass by the side of Zijingshen Hall, Huagai Hall, and Fengtian Hall, and then arrive at Fengtian Square through the middle left gate.
When Zhu Ying arrived next to Jinshen Hall, the carriage stopped.
Zhu Ying got off the carriage and learned from Guo Zhong that the old man was now in the Jinshen Palace. Even if he was passing by, of course he wanted to say hello.
The eunuch at the door saw Zhu Ying and quickly went in to report. Naturally, no one dared to stop Zhu Ying from entering.
In fact, in the circle of eunuchs and maids, especially those around Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying's appearance is no longer unfamiliar at all.
To a certain extent, it is basically difficult to hide the entire Daming Palace matter from them.
However, there are rules in the palace. The first thing you do when you enter the palace is to be taught what it means to keep your mouth shut.
It doesn't mean that you can just yell if you know. If you can't find out, basically all the palace maids and eunuchs in the suspicious range will be executed directly without any mercy at all.
"grandfather."
When Zhu Ying walked in, Zhu Yuanzhang had already stood up and came over to greet him.
"Did you sleep comfortably? We didn't wake you up when we got up, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
The whole person looked very energetic, the turbid color in his eyes had faded a lot, and his complexion was even extremely rosy and healthy.
"It's comfortable, but I didn't see grandpa when I woke up in the morning. I almost thought I was still in a dream." Zhu Ying replied with a smile.
He didn't mention the dream last night. For now, the relationship between the two of them didn't need anything else to support it.
"Our carriage is pretty good, isn't it majestic enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang said as he looked out the window.
"Mighty, really majestic, my grandson has never seen such a luxurious carriage."
Zhu Ying couldn't help but sigh.
Even in later generations, he has never seen such a luxurious carriage. You know, this thing is purely handmade.
Even while sitting on the carriage, Zhu Ying did not feel any strong vibrations, indicating that the carriage definitely had special shock-absorbing techniques in its design.
Although steering such a large four-wheeled carriage is very troublesome, it completely depends on the driver's horse-driving skills.
In fact, this also has an advantage, that is, you will almost always go straight, which will make you feel more comfortable.
"Okay, our morning meeting has almost started. We will discuss the policy on the separation of military and political affairs as you said before, Da Sun."
"Let's see what the ministers think. Then we will have a good discussion."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Ying nodded and replied: "Okay, then my grandson will go to Tianjie Temple first."
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and asked, "Are you still coming to sleep tonight?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ying thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, my grandson will also need to deal with the Chamber of Commerce under his command."
A trace of regret flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but he didn't say much.
Zhu Ying left Jinshen Hall, then sat on the carriage and headed towards Tianjie Temple.
In the 21st year of Hongwu's reign, the Tianjie Temple was burned down. Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt the temple in Fengshan, south of the city, about twenty miles away from the Ming Dynasty Palace.
Even if it is relatively easy to walk, a round trip will take almost half a day.
Just when Zhu Ying rode a luxurious carriage, passed through Fengtian Square and almost arrived at Fengtian Gate.
Zhu Yunwen happened to come out of the middle left door.
Chunhe Hall is the East Palace. It is located to the east on the right side of Fengtian Hall.
It’s not too far from Chunhe Gate to Fengtian Gate.
As the current grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen was of course stuck in going to court. Basically, after all the civil and military officials arrived at Fengtian Hall, he came over in a hurry.
"Hey, grandpa Huang, don't you plan to go to court early today? He's out early."
Of course he knew Grandpa Huang's carriage, but Grandpa Huang himself rarely used it and he had never ridden in it.
Seeing the carriage going to Fengtian Gate, Zhu Yunwen said with some doubts.
Huang Zicheng next to him was also a little confused when he heard this.
Logically speaking, if His Majesty cancels the morning court, a eunuch will usually come to notify him. He will not have to wait like other ministers.
"No, your highness, look, all the ministers have already entered the palace."
Huang Zicheng looked up and looked in front of Fengtian Hall. There were no ministers there.
This situation can only mean that His Majesty has started the morning court.
If His Majesty is not here and the morning court is not held, the eunuch in charge of rituals will come out and read out, and the morning court will be postponed today.
Since you can go in, it means that the morning dynasty must have been held.
"Then who just went out? This is Grandpa Huang's carriage. Who dares to ride privately?" Zhu Yunwen asked with some confusion.
As for the situation around the carriage just now, there were horsemen following it, so it was obvious that someone was riding it.
Huang Zicheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask the eunuch who was following Zhu Yunwen next to him:
"Do you know what happened in the palace last night?"
When the little eunuch heard this question, he replied with a trembling voice: "Report to Huang Hanlin, I don't know anything."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng and Zhu Yunwen looked at each other and immediately sensed something was wrong.
It's too obvious that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
Zhu Yunwen scolded him sternly: "Tell me, what happened in the palace last night, and who was in the carriage."
