The fire fold ignited the red brocade quilt, and the faint light danced slowly.
"you……"
Murong Jing'er's beauty turned pale. She didn't expect that the young master in front of her would be so bold. He openly set fire and wanted to put out the fire, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.
"Is there anything valuable in the room? Take it away."
"You're going to cause trouble!"
Murong Jing'er said anxiously.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "Take your things and follow me."
Murong Jing'er saw that the quilt had been set on fire. It wouldn't take long for the bed to be set on fire as well. By then, the whole room would be on fire. Looking at the confident and calm young master in front of her, Murong Jing'er sighed, walked aside, and took out a mahogany box from the bottom of the box.
Zhu Yunwen opened the door and said to Shuangxi: "I will give you a quarter of an hour to evacuate everyone here. Remember, no one is missing! If one is missing, you will stay in the fire scene."
Shuangxi glanced at the fire in the room, suddenly trembled, and screamed: "You're in trouble, run!"
It was a mess.
Someone wanted to put out the fire, but was kicked out by Liu Changge.
This is a fire set by the emperor. No one can put out the fire without the emperor's permission.
Zhu Yunwen stood by the railing, leisurely watching people escaping hastily. Many men and women were naked and naked, and some young men were calm. They looked in the direction of the fire and nodded, probably thinking about what poem to write.
There is an old man in his 60s or 70s. Damn it, you are like this and you still come out to have fun?
Aren't you afraid of coming in standing and going out lying down?
In the room behind him, the bed burst into flames.
Murong Jing'er held the wooden box and stood beside Zhu Yunwen. From the initial shock and confusion to the current calmness, she had nothing to worry about.
It's okay to burn it.
What I give myself here is only shame and no beauty.
"You'd better leave. This is the Jiaofang Division. Once someone pursues you, you will suffer a loss."
Murong Jing'er said worriedly.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Murong Jing'er and said calmly: "Then let them do it."
Murong Jing'er didn't know Zhu Yunwen's identity, but seeing that he was so confident, she didn't say anything. When she looked down, she saw a fat-headed middle-aged man running over with a group of people, looking at the burning room. , kicked the woman who was trying to run out, and shouted: "Who dares to run! Get me some water to put out the fire!"
"Oops, Cheng Fengluan is here, run away." Murong Jing'er was taken aback and said quickly.
Zhu Yunwen looked back at the intensity of the fire. He estimated that it would take a while before it reached the next door. The people around him had dispersed, so he felt relieved that no one would be hurt.
Fengluan, a ninth-grade official, is the palm seal officer of the Jiaofang Division.
Cheng Fengluan and his men rushed upstairs angrily. One of the servants pointed at Liu Changge and said, "He won't let us put out the fire."
"Bold! This is the Jiaofang Division, a place for officials. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous! Tie him up!" Cheng Fengluan shouted sternly.
Zhu Yunwen pulled Murong Jing'er back two steps and said to Liu Changge: "I've heard that you are good at martial arts. Why don't you show your hands today?"
The corner of Liu Changge's mouth trembled and he said in his heart, My lord the emperor, I am a soldier. Isn't it too cheap for you to let me deal with these rogues? But there is no other way. The emperor has spoken, what else can be done?
Facts have proved that part-time thugs still can't beat professional thugs.
Liu Changge was beaten so hard that more than a dozen people were already lying on the ground wailing.
Cheng Fengluan's forehead was sweating, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Even if you have some skills, you can still escape the punishment of the law! I will report it to the emperor and bring you to justice!"
"Let's wait until your report is sent to the emperor."
Liu Changge rubbed his fists, feeling unsatisfied.
"Okay, the fire is already burning. Don't play with him, right? Cheng Fengluan? As many people as there are in the Jiaofang Division, you will take them to the Ministry of Etiquette. If one is missing, your skin will be hung outside the Meridian Gate. !”
Zhu Yunwen walked towards the stairs, turned around and shouted to Murong Jing'er, "Let's go, what are you doing standing still?"
Murong Jing'er quickly followed.
Cheng Fengluan looked at the Ming Security Bureau token held in Liu Changge's hand and felt cold all over, especially when he heard Liu Changge reported his family status. Cheng Fengluan could not guess who the Human Emperor was just now, so he was in vain.
"Let's do some work."
After Liu Changge finished speaking, he followed.
Shuangxi also ran over. Zhu Yunwen explained a few words. Shuangxi returned to Cheng Fengluan and said, "You can put out the fire."
Cheng Fengluan tremblingly kicked the servants on the side a few times and shouted: "What are you still doing? Put out the fire and evacuate the people!"
After burning three rooms, the fire was finally put out.
Cheng Fengluan didn't feel sorry for these things, but he was worried about the next task. He arranged a group of people to call out all the old and young people from the Jiaofang Department, form a team, and go to the Ministry of Etiquette.
Nearly 7,000 people, a huge team, directly alarmed West Chang'an Street. The Nanjing garrison and the Fifth Army Commander's Office heard the news and imposed martial law.
Xu Huizu entered the palace in a hurry. Before he entered the Chengtian Gate, he saw four people walking leisurely on the street. He took a closer look, my dear, isn't this the emperor?
"Your Majesty? What's going on?"
Xu Huizu quickly stepped forward to greet him, and at the same time arranged soldiers to protect the emperor.
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "Don't be so nervous, no one will harm me. Let me introduce to you, this is Murong Jing'er. Double Happiness, summoned everyone in the etiquette department to run errands all night today, and we can't finish it. No one can do it." Don’t even think about going home to sleep!”
Xu Huizu glared and bowed his hand to Murong Jing'er.
Murong Jing'er was a little numb. Looking at Zhu Yunwen with a smile on his face, he swallowed his saliva, knelt down quickly and shouted: "Murong Jing'er, kowtow to the emperor."
Zhu Yunwen helped Murong Jing'er up and looked in the direction behind him. People from the Jiaofang Division came over in a dark way. However, judging from the tense atmosphere, they were probably worried about the uncertain future.
"I don't like hell on earth."
Zhu Yunwen smiled, let go of Murong Jing'er, and said to Xu Huizu: "Assign people to maintain order. Have everyone stand in line and divide them into ten lines. The head of the line should line up outside the gate of the Ministry of Etiquette."
Xu Huizu agreed and arranged manpower to maintain order.
The girl from the Jiaofang Department didn't know what was going on. When she saw the soldiers, some of them were timid and started to cry. But after a while, she found that the soldiers were not causing any disturbance and were just standing there to maintain order, so she felt relieved.
Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, Chen Xingshan, the left minister, Huang Guan, the minister, and other officials had already received the order and hurried out to greet him. Other departments also heard the news and went out to investigate. When they saw the emperor, they all knelt down and worshiped.
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the gate of the Ministry of Rites and said: "Here, set up ten tables to prepare for the registration of people from the Jiaofang Department. By the way, let the people from the Ministry of Husbandry come over and let's get things done together."
"Congratulations? Oh, Your Majesty, if there is only one woman, then there is no need for ten tables."
Chen Di glanced at Murong Jing'er beside Zhu Yunwen and said with a smile.
The corner of Xu Huizu's mouth trembled, "Damn, I made you laugh, but you can cry later."
Zhu Yunwen turned around, and everyone else turned sideways. Chen Di and other officials from the Ministry of Etiquette looked up and saw rows of women slowly approaching. The number seemed to be no less than a few hundred.
The procession entered the Qianbu Corridor and came slowly. The people in the front were all at the Ministry of Rites, but the people behind were not at the end yet.
Chen Di shivered and looked at Zhu Yunwen with a wry smile.
Zhu Yunwen smiled calmly and said: "Everyone, get ready. Liu Changge, please pass on this message. If any women from the Jiaofang Department are homeless and have no relatives to turn to, those who are willing to join the palace will join the palace women's household; if they want to return home, Those who have a craft will all join a farmer's household; those who have skills and can make a living, will join a craftsman's household... The choice of household registration is decided by oneself."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were a little confused. With so many people, how many household registrations should be written?
Isn’t this exhausting?
Shuangxi moved a chair, Zhu Yunwen sat aside and said, "Murong Jing'er, let's start with you."
Murong Jing'er took a deep look at Zhu Yunwen, and with Zhu Yunwen's encouragement, she walked towards Chen Di's table, looked back at Zhu Yunwen, and then said: "Murong Jing'er, age 18, native of Suzhou Prefecture... entered the palace Female household.”
Chen Di had no choice but to go to work.
Murong Jing'er looked at the new household registration, walked up to Zhu Yunwen, knelt down and said, "Thank you, the Emperor!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The women from the Jiaofang Department knelt down one after another.
The sound came one after another, from the front of the team to the invisible back of the team. Countless people looked at this scene and were a little moved.
After hearing the commotion outside the palace, Ma Enhui was silent for a while, then took a group of maids out of the palace, and arranged for the eunuchs and palace maids to set up a boiler outside the palace gate, boil some hot tea, and ordered the needlework bureau and scarf and hat bureau to send a batch Wear warm clothes outside the palace.
Although the autumn night is not cold, it is slightly cool.
Some adults are okay, but the elderly and young are not able to withstand the cold.
The emperor has not considered it. As the emperor's wife, why not consider it more carefully?
Ma Enhui asked the eunuchs in the inner palace to free up more than 300 houses, and those who entered the palace female household will be temporarily arranged to move in. As for those who entered other household registrations, they will be temporarily arranged in the Jiaofang Department. Early tomorrow morning, severance pay will be paid and everyone will leave.
Suddenly, all the people in Nanjing were moved. The names of "Holy Emperor" and "Holy Queen" entered the hearts of the people along with the cheers of all the people.
On August 17, the 31st year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yunwen abolished the Jiaofang Division and established the Cultural and Industrial Bureau, with Murong Jing'er as the helmsman.
On that day, a total of 4,216 female musicians from the Jiaofang were dismissed, and the remaining 2,600 were incorporated into the art troupe, responsible for various performances such as dance, folk arts, and stunts, and were affiliated with the inner palace.
Chang'an Palace.
Ma Enhui sat at the table and kept rolling her eyes at Zhu Yunwen. When the maid asked what she wanted to eat for lunch, Ma Enhui said with a bitter face: "What else can I eat? I'll just take a handful today and barely cope with two mouths."
Zhu Yunwen was depressed and arranged for the maid to keep everything as usual, and said to Ma Enhui: "As for it?"
Ma Enhui snorted and said: "The emperor is really unworthy of the family. He doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are. There are 2,600 people in the art troupe, and there are 2,600 mouths. In previous years, the palace maids only had more than 8,000, and they spent nearly three thousand dollars a year. One hundred thousand taels of silver. Now that there is so much more, what should we do with this expense?"
"That's a problem." Zhu Yunwen frowned, looked at Ma Enhui, and said seriously: "How about eating Wowo for lunch?"
"..."
Ma Enhui was speechless.
