Han Bingzhong took it for granted that his daughter was the imperial concubine, and the people who could take care of her were not women, but naturally could only be palace eunuchs. He didn't notice that the guards kept their distance.
It's no wonder that Han Bingzhong would admit his mistake. Although his daughter became Concubine Ning, he had not yet met his son-in-law.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Han Yanxue was elected to the East Palace and was named Concubine Ning after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne.
But this process has nothing to do with Concubine Ning’s natal family, that is, there is no need to enter the palace to attend the wedding, and there is no need to have a wedding banquet. How to live, or how to live...
The only change was that the Han family became the Han Mansion, renovated a few houses, purchased a few acres of land, and added the title of abbot, and that was it.
In the past few years, Concubine Ning has not returned home, and no one from the Han family has been to the capital. Although there are occasional correspondences, they are just ordinary greetings, which do not involve Zhu Yunwen's appearance, and there are no "photos" of Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Concubine Ning who was smiling, snorted coldly, then squatted down and said to the little girl Han Xiayu: "Are you Xia Yu? Call me brother-in-law, and can I give you some candy?"
Han Xiayu felt a little resigned and hid behind Han Bingzhong.
Han Bingzhong was a little confused, brother-in-law, what kind of brother-in-law, where did Xia Yu come from? Doesn’t she only have one sister?
"Ah...this..."
Han Bingzhong suddenly thought about it, his face turned pale and his legs began to tremble.
Zhu Yunwen smiled at Han Bingzhong, then turned and glanced at Xue Xia. Xue Xia came out and shouted to the people watching: "Concubine Ning is dignified and virtuous. She is deeply favored by the emperor. She is specially allowed to come to Hangzhou for marriage. Concubine Ning is worried. The common people did not want to disturb the local area, so they returned to their hometowns in low profile and incognito, especially bringing gifts to the villagers."
After Wang Yongxin, the head of Wangguantun, who was in his sixties, heard about it, he was moved to tears. He drove Butcher Wang aside with a bamboo stick and led the people to kneel down to welcome Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Yunwen, who just smiled and encouraged.
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen didn't want to expose her identity, Concubine Ning had no choice but to say to everyone: "When the ancestors of the Han family first moved here, fortunately everyone did not give up and helped us inside and outside, so that the Han family is now prosperous. Although the Han family's Yanxue is a woman , we also know the principle of repaying kindness by a drop of water and a spring of spring. Today’s small gift, please accept it with a smile. Wanwang is united in the countryside and has a prosperous family. Come and get up."
When the village chief and the people heard about it, they were both excited and emotional.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos. In order to avoid disaster, the Han family moved from the north to Lingyin, Hangzhou. If it hadn't been for the kindness of the people here who gave them a land to live and settle down, they don't know where they would have ended up.
"Sister, are you my sister?"
Han Xiayu looked at Concubine Ning timidly. Concubine Ning walked closer, knelt down and looked at Xia Yu, saying, "You have grown so big. When my sister went to the capital, you were still a little kid."
Han Bingzhong stood uneasy at the side, not knowing how to enter the house.
Saying that the emperor is a father-in-law doesn't mean that the emperor is not a man. If you insult the emperor, is there any way to survive?
Zhu Yunwen looked at the Han family's house. Although it was a courtyard with three entrances, he didn't see many servants along the way. There were no precious flowers, plants, trees, rugged rocks, Slender Lake Xiang Pavilion, etc. in the courtyard, which was simple and simple. People can't believe that this is the residence of the emperor's relatives.
"Mother, mother, sister is back."
Han Xiayu shouted while holding Concubine Ning's hand.
A dignified middle-aged woman came out. Seeing Concubine Ning's face filled with disbelief, she quickly stepped forward to greet her and looked at her carefully.
"Mother, my daughter has come home to see you."
Concubine Ning smiled and whispered. Mrs. Han's eyes filled with tears. She took Concubine Ning's hand and asked in a choked voice, "Daughter, why are you back?"
Han naturally misses her own flesh and blood, but her daughter has become a member of the royal family. How could she return home? Could it be that she offended the emperor and was kicked out of the palace?
Concubine Ning turned sideways and looked at Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward with a smile and said to Han: "Mrs. Han, I want to subdue Suhang. Thinking that Concubine Ning has not been home for a long time, I allowed her to go with me."
After hearing this, Mr. Han suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen!
"emperor!"
Mrs. Han quickly knelt down to salute, and Zhu Yunwen motioned to Concubine Ning to help her up. As soon as she got up, Han Bingzhong knelt down and apologized repeatedly: "I was short-sighted and talked nonsense..."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head helplessly, pulled Han Bingzhong up personally, and said seriously: "If I didn't have the courage, how could I enter the Han Mansion? Don't worry too much, just let him go back for some small things. Xia Yu, still Why don’t you call me brother-in-law?”
When Han Bingzhong looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was a little "cynical" and close to his youngest daughter, he was always in a trance, feeling like a dream.
"Are you the emperor?"
Han Xiayu raised his head and asked innocently.
Zhu Yunwen bent over and said to Han Xiayu: "Yes, I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
"What rank is the emperor?"
Han Xiayu blinked.
Zhu Yunwen laughed loudly, and Concubine Ning pulled Xia Yu over and said, "The emperor is not an official. Everyone must obey the emperor, and you do the same."
"I?"
"Yes, call brother-in-law quickly and ask for a gift for him."
Concubine Ning encouraged.
Han Xiayu looked at Zhu Yunwen and shouted in a low voice: "Brother-in-law."
Zhu Yunwen smiled happily. He hadn't been so close to a child for a long time. After dealing with courtiers and government affairs for a long time, he yearned for this kind of pure family affection.
It's a pity that this kind of purity only exists in innocence and innocence.
The Han family became lively, and Han Bingzhong quickly sent someone to call Han Chengzhi, who was studying in the backyard, and Han Chengcai, who was studying in Hangzhou Prefecture. That night, the Han family celebrated, and Han Bingzhong was drunk.
On this night, the people of Wangguantun were also celebrating.
Zhu Yunwen was well aware of the needs of the people, and the gifts he prepared for them were simple: two taels of silver, three pieces of cloth, four boxes of cakes, five pounds of pork...
Although it may seem simple, it is very practical.
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how much spiritual comfort they are given, it is not as satisfying as giving them some practical material things. From then on, the local people would praise Concubine Ning as a good person every time they thought of her.
Although it is only a small part of the world, if a group of people remember, affirm, praise and leave a reputation over the years, this life will not be in vain.
Zhu Yunwen stayed at the Han family temporarily and spent two days of comfortable life with Concubine Ning and her family. There were no worries about government affairs or the chatter of officials, only ordinary days between relatives, like ordinary people.
However, it was only for two days.
On this day, Zhu Yunwen was telling Han Xiayu about Piaomiao Pavilion, describing those corrupt officials as bullies, and describing himself as a great hero who saved the world, winning Han Xiayu's admiration again and again. At this time, Xue Xia hurriedly came over and reported: "The capital is in urgent need of help." Report, it's urgent."
As a last resort, Zhu Yunwen had to let Concubine Ning take Han Xiayu away. He took the document and read it. There were many words, but the content was very simple:
The navy of the Ming Dynasty and the fleet of the King of Qi encountered Baishuiyang. In a battle, the navy won completely and the King of Qi drowned.
When he saw the news that King Qi was dead, Zhu Yunwen fell silent.
After all, I am not familiar with this Qi King Zhu Shu. Although he is Zhu Yuanzhang's son, he is only his uncle after all. But there are so many uncles and they are full of ideas, so it doesn't matter if one or two of them die.
It was a pity that the dead civilians and soldiers were what made Zhu Yunwen sad.
The people are the bricks and stones of the empire. Without them, this building cannot be strong. There is still a lot of barren land in the north, so many people have died, so many homes have been destroyed, and there are a lot of consequences.
I originally thought that this period of time would be calm and not much happened, and I could take a good look at the Ming Dynasty outside. But now it seems that I can no longer stay in Hangzhou.
Some things must be controlled by oneself. The cabinet cannot make up its mind, and simple approval cannot replace the true will.
only……
Zhu Yunwen looked into the distance. Concubine Ning was playing with Han Xiayu. She was so happy. She could not be seen in the palace. Is it too hasty and unkind to let her go back after only two days after traveling thousands of miles away from Beijing?
Xue Xia saw Zhu Yunwen's hesitation and immediately advised: "Your Majesty, all matters in the court are pending and it is not appropriate to delay any further."
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and looked at the documents, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "I have a cabinet, and it is so difficult to be distracted. How did Taizu handle the government affairs back then..."
Think about Zhu Yuanzhang. After deposing the prime minister, he directly managed six ministries and nine ministers. He took care of all major and minor matters. He had to deal with hundreds of things a day. He still had time to investigate among the people, still had time to handle cases, and still had time to kill people... …
"Stay for two more days and return to Beijing in two days."
Zhu Yunwen immediately wrote a document, making unified arrangements for how to deal with Queen Qi's funeral, captured sergeants and civilians, pensions for those who died in the battle, and Qingzhou's disposal, and ordered the Security Bureau to rush to the capital.
At night, Zhu Yunwen tossed and turned, and Concubine Ning seemed to feel something. She stretched out her hand on Zhu Yunwen's chest and said softly: "Let's go back to the capital tomorrow. My parents are fine. I am satisfied to have seen them."
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Go back to Beijing the day after tomorrow. Xia Yu is a good child. Why not let her stay with you in your Zhongcui Palace? It will reduce your pain of homesickness."
"She is still young. If she breaks the rules when entering the palace..."
Concubine Ning was a little worried.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "You have the final say in the harem if there are no rules? I plan to let her accompany Wen Kui. Wen Kui is either a doting queen or an obedient eunuch. A good thing, letting Xia Yu bully him may also give him a good childhood."
Concubine Ning's eyes lit up. If this was the case, there wouldn't be any problem.
Zhu Wenkui is the son of the queen, Zhu Yunwen's only current son, and the first eldest son of the Ming Dynasty. A hundred years after Zhu Yunwen, he will be the legitimate emperor.
If you let your sister stay with Zhu Wenkui, her future will be limitless, and she may become a princess.
Just as Concubine Ning was about to nod, she heard movement outside the door.
Listen carefully, you can hear someone knocking on the door in the distance, quickly and heavily.
Zhu Yunwen stood up and dressed, opened the door, and Cong Pei'er reported: "The girl from Butcher Wang's family who has not left the palace went to Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings today, but she has not returned at night. Butcher Wang is asking everyone to look for her."
"Any clues?"
Zhu Yunwen knew that in this village without nightlife, under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible to stay out at night.
Cong Pei'er shook his head and said, "I just heard people say that it might have been snatched away by someone."
