Shuangxi entered the palace with a smile. When he arrived at the gate of Wuying Hall, he rubbed his face and walked in carefully. He reported: "Reporting to your Majesty, those ministers have restrained themselves a lot."
This time Double Happiness was an eye-opener. Officials who used to spit and curse at others could only rewrite the memorial tremblingly. Although they did not support Xu Miaojin's entry into the Imperial College to study and study, they were too frightened to say anything.
Nothing else.
The mother teaches her children to read and write. If the mother is illiterate and does not know the truth, how can she teach her children?
My wife also wants to write poetry, calligraphy and painting, but she doesn’t know how to be elegant.
My daughter also wants to go to school, so why can only boys read?
unfair.
Although no one directly said that they want to break through the "three cardinal principles and five constant principles" and the "three obediences and four virtues", the inner desire to study and practice etiquette is an unavoidable reality.
Zhu Yunwen didn't care about these turmoils, and the Imperial College himself didn't say anything. These people were just wasting some paper, some pen and ink and saliva by making noises.
The news of the reduction of 100,000 troops finally caused a sensation in the imperial capital.
No one expected that the new emperor would have such courage and means to disband an army of 100,000 men with a wave of his hand.
In history, we often hear of emperors expanding their armies, but rarely of disarmament.
As a result, civil servants believed that the era of "civilian rule" was about to begin, and they all went to court one after another to praise the emperor as a wise master. As for such trivial matters as Xu Miaojin, naturally not many people cared about it.
Yu Xin, the Minister of Household Affairs, smiled and said to Xia Yuanji, the head of the Household Department: "Your Majesty's move is really noble."
Xia Yuanji cupped his hands and said, "Master Yu, it seems that the Ministry of Household Affairs can save a lot of money and food this year."
Yu Xin took a sip of tea relaxedly and said with relief: "No, the cavalry has two dan of food per month, and the ordinary soldiers have one dan of food per month. Just food and salary will cost the capital a lot. Cutting down one hundred thousand soldiers can save food every year." 3.6 million dan. Now that it is summer, there is a lot of rainy season. Money and food are needed for river embankment repairs and disaster relief..."
"The household affairs are difficult."
Xia Yuanji joked.
Yu Xin chuckled and said, "Weizhe, you have to take more responsibility. You have to pay more attention to the affairs of the household department."
Xia Yuanji, courtesy name Wei Zhe.
Xia Yuanji nodded solemnly, looked at the somewhat old Yu Xin, and said slowly: "Is the disarmament related to summoning King Yan to the capital?"
A gleam flashed in Yu Xin's eyes, and he chuckled: "Our emperor is truly extraordinary. Have you heard that Xie Jin has entered the Hanlin Academy?"
"Yes, I heard about it. Although Xie Jin was frivolous and arrogant during Taizu's period, he was really an upright person. It's good for such a person to be by the Emperor's side."
Xia Yuanji praised.
Yu Xin stood up, walked to Xia Yuanji, and said: "It's strange to say that when the emperor was the prince, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were from the East Palace. Now that the emperor is in the imperial palace, Qi Tai is still the Minister of War, and Huang Zicheng is still the Hanlin Compiled by the Academy. This is a bit unusual."
For a newly enthroned emperor, the first ones he uses are often the ministers close to him.
However, Taizu had been sent to the Xiaoling Mausoleum for some time, and the new emperor had not seen any favors from the old department. The first person to be promoted turned out to be Xie Jin, who had been away from the court for many years. This was really surprising.
"Perhaps the Emperor has other plans."
Xia Yuanji said calmly.
Zhu Yunwen was in the deep palace and did not come to court.
Above the court hall, all the officials were looking around, looking left and right, but they couldn't see Zhu Yunwen coming to court.
I hand in a envelope but no one approves it. What should I do?
Will the Ming Dynasty continue to operate?
Some lower-level officials were even speculating whether the emperor had fallen ill due to excessive worry due to Taizu's death. They asked around, hoping to write a few greetings to express their loyalty.
Zhu Yunwen walked out of Wuying Palace and watched the sunset slowly sinking, and the majestic palace would plunge into darkness again.
If it weren't for the clear memory of later generations, Zhu Yunwen would have forgotten where he came from.
"Shuangxi, do you miss your family?"
Zhu Yunwen asked gently.
The eunuch Shuangxi looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock. You must know that during Zhu Yuanzhang's time, he was extremely strict with the eunuchs. A slight mistake would result in a broken leg or death in serious cases.
And after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he continued to be strict.
Like the current care and greetings, it is almost unimaginable.
In fact, Zhu Yunwen in history did not regard eunuchs as human beings.
During Zhu Di's rebellion, many eunuchs became Zhu Di's eyes and ears.
Because Zhu Di treats them as human beings and trusts them.
Dongchang, which was famous in later generations, was an organization headed by eunuchs, which was enough to reflect Zhu Di's trust in eunuchs.
Shuangxi was so moved that he wanted to cry, and quickly replied: "Back to the Emperor, our family will occasionally think of them, but we have no chance to see them again."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "Why can't we see you again?"
Shuang Xi respectfully replied: "After our family has entered the palace, they are the emperor's people. How can we see them again? Besides, even if our family goes back, they will not recognize our family."
Double Happiness is right.
In ancient times, inheritance and clan were valued.
A eunuch is not qualified to enter the clan ancestral hall and is looked down upon by others.
At least, that was the case in the early Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the lonely Shuangxi and asked, "Is everyone in this harem like this?"
"nature."
Shuangxi replied quickly.
As Zhu Yunwen was walking, he saw a palace maid carrying a food box kneeling on the side of the road. He stopped and asked, "Where do you come from?"
The palace maid was frightened and quickly replied: "Go back to the emperor, my daughter is from Suzhou."
"Suzhou, I've been there, do you know the Lion Forest?"
Zhu Yunwen asked with a smile as he thought of his trip to the Lion Forest in later generations.
The palace maid shook her head quickly.
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said: "It's a pity, but the Lion Forest should not have reached a large scale now. How long have you not seen your parents and family?"
"It has been three years since I returned to the emperor."
The palace maid replied in a low voice.
Zhu Yunwen rubbed his eyebrows and said to Shuangxi, "Go and send someone to call Kunji."
Shuangxi winked at the eunuch beside him.
Zhu Yunwen opened the palace maid's food box and looked inside. There were only some light dishes, and asked, "Who is this for?"
The palace maid quickly said: "It's for Concubine Ning."
Zhu Yun squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then he remembered that there was such a person, and said to the palace maid: "How can you be so simple? Come on, follow me to the Shangri-La Supervisory Palace."
Even if the emperor speaks, the maid cannot disobey him.
Shuangxi followed beside him without knowing why.
Shang Shanjian, in charge of the emperor and the palace's meals and banquets.
Liu Yizheng, the chief seal officer of the Shangshan Supervisor, was humming a ditty, drinking wine leisurely, giving him a few words of instruction when he had nothing to do, and moving around when he had something to do, and he was living quite comfortably.
However, when Liu Yi was drinking from the spout of the wine bottle, he was dumbfounded when he saw Zhu Yunwen walking over, and there was no movement for a while.
Shuangxi winked quickly at the side, and Liu Yi knelt down with a pop, kowtow to apologize.
Zhu Yunwen didn't even look at Liu Yi. He looked at the countless ingredients inside and thought for a moment that what he was best at was just a few home-cooked dishes.
However, if the emperor cooks, will he be sprayed to death by those officials?
Forget it, leave them alone.
Who knows that there was no Kung Pao Chicken in the Ming Dynasty, and fish-flavored shredded pork had to wait until the Republic of China. Shangshan Superintendent would definitely not be able to learn it. If you don't do it yourself, even eating will be a problem...
Big fish and meat are not allowed during the hot filial piety period. Once it’s done, just pick out the meat...
