After Zhu Gaoxu got the task of Jiaozhi, he was very concerned about it.
Under Zhu Di's suggestion, many princeling officials who had been imprisoned were demoted to Jiaozhi.
At the same time, the plan to destroy the history of Jiaozhi was also implemented very thoroughly.
Worried that the officials previously sent to Jiaozhi were careless, Zhu Gaoxu also sent his confidants to supervise.
But just when he was in full swing, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun had several quarrels because of this matter.
Now Zhu Di can't even get into his wife's bed.
Only one person can live in Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Di, who was angry at his wife, turned around and scolded the boss Zhu Gaochi.
The youngest, Zhu Gaoxu, was even more excited when he got the news.
On the contrary, everyone in the East Palace, except Zhu Gaochi, was panicked.
"You, stop teasing that dog of yours."
"Think of a way!"
"Otherwise, the old man will dethrone you as the crown prince, and our family will just wait to die!"
Looking at her husband who was still playing with the dog, Princess Zhang was furious.
"You can abolish the old man if you want. Anyway, I don't want to be the prince for a day anymore."
"It's okay to take out your anger on your son. Do you think there is a father like this?"
Zhu Gaochi petted the dog and complained to his wife.
"You...why are you so worthless?"
"Who has ever heard that the deposed prince can live a good life!"
"I don't have the blessings with you, so I'll trick my son to death again!"
The princess was furious.
He stood up, pointed at Zhu Gaochi and said:
"Zhu, if you don't think about it carefully, you will become a mouse and I will become a cat in the next life."
"I'll bite you to death every day!"
"My beloved concubine, look at you."
Zhu Gaochi quickly put down the dog in his arms and went up to coax his wife.
"Come on, let's go in and talk."
Zhu Gaochi took his wife's hand and walked into the room.
The princess looked reluctant, but she also wanted to know what her husband wanted to say.
Bang!
Zhu Gaochi closed the door and pressed his wife on the couch.
"My beloved, you just think too much."
He sat down next to him and said.
"The old man scolded me because he was unhappy after being scolded by his mother."
"You're taking it out on me!"
"This has nothing to do with whether I, the prince, should be abolished or not."
"According to what you say, the old man will not destroy you as the crown prince?" the princess asked.
"Yeah!" Zhu Gaochi nodded.
In this regard, he was not worried at all.
Because he has the two most powerful backers, the queen's own mother, and his uncle Yang Xuan.
"Is it useless to worry about my relationship?" the princess reacted.
"You can't say that."
"Your running around these days is still very useful."
"At least let those people under the old man feel that my position as the prince is unstable."
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
"So I was taken advantage of by you?" the Crown Princess asked.
"No, I didn't mean that!"
"I think so." The Crown Princess didn't listen to this explanation and looked like I was very angry.
Zhu Gaochi secretly complained, but he had to coax his wife.
In this way, he coaxed his wife to sleep with his soft words.
…
Zhu Gaochi rested at home for about a month and then started working again.
After all, at the end of the year, there are more things going on.
Naturally, he, the prince, cannot be idle.
This year's financial balance is not much, so Zhu Laosi's red envelopes are relatively unscrupulous.
However, the several volumes of "Yongle Dadian" printed in advance made many civil servants excited.
Using this thing as a reward really aroused the enthusiasm of civil servants for their work.
As you can imagine, they will definitely work hard in the coming year.
…
Time flies and comes to March of the ninth year of Yongle.
The review work of "Yongle Dadian" has also been completed.
Zhu Di kept some of the customs duties in the past few months and planned to use them to reward the staff who repaired the books.
After all, thousands of people were employed, and each person was rewarded with ten taels of silver, which was tens of thousands of taels.
What's more, there are scholars from the Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Rites also uses many people to collect information.
These scholars with official rank must not only reward them with ten taels of silver!
So overall, it's not a lot of money.
For this reason, Zhu Di often argued with Xia Yuanji.
Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be rewarded with money should be rewarded.
After the reward was over, Zhu Di ordered them to make another copy.
This work is much easier than when I first started editing books. After all, I just copy it again.
At the same time, Zhu Di called Yang Xuan and Xia Yuanji together to discuss the publication and sale of "Yongle Dadian".
This is to increase revenue for the national treasury, so Xia Yuanji will naturally not object.
It didn't take long to discuss it.
Specifically, he wanted to open a bookstore, bear the name of the royal family, and sell "Yongle Dadian".
Of course, the word "royal" was obtained with Zhu Di in exchange for 30% of the bookstore's profits.
The Yongle Dadian sold in bookstores is divided into two versions.
Regular version and hardcover version.
The price gap between the two versions is also relatively large.
The purpose is to make as much money as possible.
Of course, there is also a collector's edition.
This version is not for sale to the outside world and was used by Zhu Di to motivate his officials.
Because it has Zhu Di's autograph and personal seal stamped on it.
In terms of value, it can be passed down from family to family.
After almost a month of preparation, the Royal Bookstore finally opened.
Due to the solid publicity work done in the early stage, as soon as it opened, there was an endless stream of customers coming to buy books.
Many of them are officials of the imperial court.
Although Zhu Di would reward his officials with a collected version of the Yongle Dadian.
But everyone knows that there are very few officials who can get the collector's edition.
Most officials are not so lucky.
So, if you want it, buy it at the Royal Bookstore!
On the second floor of the restaurant across the street from the bookstore, Yang Xuan and Xia Yuanji looked at the crowded customers at the door of the bookstore.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Xia Shangshu, are you at ease now?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Haha, peace of mind, peace of mind!"
Xia Yuanji smiled from ear to ear.
This is another considerable amount of income.
"Master Marquis, look, there are people from other countries coming to buy!"
At this time, Xia Yuanji noticed several people from other countries in the crowd and pointed them to Yang Xuan.
Looking in the direction Xia Yuanji pointed, Yang Xuan also noticed.
"It seems that "Yongle Dadian" is not only attractive to me, the Ming Dynasty scholars, but also to people from other countries!" Xia Yuanji was very happy and felt that Beier had some face.
"Xia Shangshu, please ask someone to inform the person in charge of the bookstore that "Yongle Dadian" will not be sold to people from other countries."
Yang Xuan became alert.
He recognized that those people from the foreign countries seemed to be Japanese envoys.
After all, that hairstyle and that word are hard to recognize.
"Master Hou, why is this?"
"People from foreign countries admire our Ming culture. It will be a good talk if it spreads!"
Xia Yuanji said puzzledly.
"Beautiful talk about farts."
"The "Yongle Dadian" records the wealth of knowledge accumulated by China over thousands of years."
"Just share it with me, the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"What are they?"
"I'm afraid that they won't remember the goodness of Ming Dynasty and will instead focus on the rich land of Ming Dynasty."
Yang Xuan said disdainfully.
"This... Lord Hou, are you being alarmist?" Xia Yuanji said.
"You don't understand." Yang Xuan shook his head.
Then he urged: "Send someone quickly and I will tell His Majesty personally about this matter."
"Okay!" Since Yang Xuan took the initiative to take over the responsibility, Xia Yuanji followed suit.
Anyway, he didn't think highly of people from foreign countries.
Not long after, Yang Xuan saw the foreigners who entered the Royal Bookstore being kicked out.
Among them, the Japanese envoy was even more furious and started fighting with the staff of the bookstore.
"Xia Shangshu, have you seen that people from a mere foreign country dare to attack the people of the Ming Dynasty in broad daylight? It can be seen that in their hearts, they have no respect for the Ming Dynasty."
"From now on, it's better to be more vigilant against people from this country."
After reminding Xia Yuanji, Yang Xuan jumped directly from the second floor window.
After pushing through the crowd, Yang Xuan directly held down the dwarfs.
"Baga!" the Japanese envoy cursed.
"Little devil, who are you scolding?" Yang Xuan used his hand to crush his shoulder.
The surrounding Japanese people also noticed Yang Xuan's danger and surrounded him one after another.
"I've seen Mr. Hou!" The staff of the bookstore saw Yang Xuan and saluted quickly after standing up.
"It's embarrassing for you to be bullied like this by a few little devils." Yang Xuan looked at the staff with bruises and swollen faces and said dissatisfiedly.
The bookstore staff's faces became hot when they were told that, and they also felt resentment towards the Japanese people.
"What the Marquis taught me is that when I see Japanese people in the future, I will beat these dogs hard."
"Haha, that's pretty much it."
"Give him some money and let him heal his injuries." This is what Yang Xuan said to the person in charge of the bookstore.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
"Baga, is this your Ming Dynasty's way of hospitality? I want to tell you the Ming Emperor."
When the Japanese envoys saw that there were people gathering around them, they felt confident.
"So much nonsense." Yang Xuan muttered, then reached out and strangled his neck.
Then throw it on the ground like a dead dog.
Then he clapped his hands, looking disgusted as if he had just touched something dirty.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
At this moment, a slightly arrogant voice came from the outside of the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen soldiers came in.
"What happened?" Xiaoqi, the leader, asked as he looked at the people around him.
Someone pointed to the Japanese envoy lying on the ground.
Xiaoqi knelt down to check it out and poked his nose.
"died?"
"Who killed him?"
He stood up and looked at the people around him and asked.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Xuan.
Xiaoqi also noticed Yang Xuan.
He stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying, "Did you kill him?"
"Exactly." Yang Xuan turned around and looked at the other party playfully.
"Hou...Master Hou!" Xiaoqi recognized Yang Xuan.
He is from the Wucheng Bingma Division and is responsible for the security of the capital.
They knew only too well who they couldn't afford to offend in the capital.
"I have seen the Marquis!" He saluted quickly.
"Get up!" Yang Xuan said lightly.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Xiao Qi straightened up.
"Master Marquis, what's going on? If you need help from me, just ask."
Xiaoqi said.
"A few Japanese people made trouble, and I killed one of them."
Yang Xuan said casually.
Xiaoqi's mind was spinning, thinking that the Marquis might not like Japanese people.
Then he glanced at the remaining Japanese people and said:
"People from Japan dare to assassinate me, the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, in broad daylight. They should be punished for their crime."
"Come here, take them down for me!"
A dozen of his men immediately stepped forward.
"Baga, what are you doing?"
The Japanese people struggled and asked.
"We are Japanese envoys, you have no right to arrest us."
"What kind of bullshit is this? If you don't envoy your envoys, it would be a serious crime to assassinate me, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty."
"Take them back to me and interrogate them strictly to find out who instigated them." Xiao Qi said to his subordinates.
"Yes." Several men directly tied up the Japanese envoy and took him away.
"Master Marquis, do you have any other orders?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Just don't let them live." Yang Xuan said, not caring about the eyes of the people around him.
"I understand!" Xiaoqi said, cupping his fists.
Yang Xuan gave him an appreciative look.
In the capital, even if you are an official as big as a sesame seed, you still have to know a little bit about the world.
After all, here, there are high-ranking officials, and you can meet important people whenever you go out.
The Japanese envoy was taken away, and there was no excitement here.
The people who were watching all dispersed as well.
Yang Xuan called Xiaoqi into the bookstore and told the whole story.
"The little envoy of the Japanese Kingdom dared to beat someone in the capital of Ming Dynasty. He deserves to die."
"Even if the Marquis doesn't take action today, the villain will not let them go."
Xiaoqi said indignantly.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan smiled.
Today's Ming Dynasty has prosperous national power, abundant martial virtue, and far-reaching prestige.
I really look down on the Japanese people on the island.
"In the future, if you encounter Japanese people in the capital, keep a close eye on them, lest they steal our Ming Dynasty's good things."
"yes."
"Then you will work harder in the future."
"With this little money, you can take your brothers to drink some tea!" Yang Xuan took out a handful of golden beans from his body and rewarded them.
"This... villain just did his duty, how dare he let the Marquis spend money." Xiao Qi forced himself to look away from Golden Douzi.
"Just take it if I tell you to. I don't like to say it a second time." Yang Xuan looked displeased.
"Then I will thank the Marquis for the reward on behalf of the brothers." Xiaoqi took the golden beans, and the grateful smile on his face looked particularly sincere.
Then Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder, explained a few words, and sent him away.
"Remember, "Yongle Dadian" must not be sold to people from foreign countries." Before leaving the bookstore, Yang Xuan warned the person in charge of the bookstore again.
"Yes, please keep this in mind, little one," the person in charge of the bookstore said.
Yang Xuan nodded and left the bookstore.
Walk towards the palace.
What happened here will soon reach Zhu Di's ears.
He had to quickly enter the palace to explain to Zhu Di.
By the way, let's discuss the matter of strictly prohibiting "Yongle Dadian" from leaking out of the Ming Dynasty.
…
In the imperial study room, after the ceremony between the emperor and his ministers, Yang Xuan sat down on a chair nearby and talked about the killing of the Japanese envoy at the door of the bookstore.
"It's just a few Japanese envoys. If you die, don't worry about it." Zhu Di waved his hand and said casually.
…
