Abandoning the vassal king's guards, revoking the vassal king's official affiliation, and calling him back to the capital meant that the vassal king completely lost his military power and power, and their existence would not pose a threat to the court.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Rong. This guy was very smart. He learned to seize the opportunity first, then induce others, and finally took advantage of the situation to promote the move to reduce the vassal state supported by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
He was treating the court as a battlefield, but that was fine, there was always something special about talents.
The court meeting lasted until Xu o'clock, and then dispersed amid the fatigue of all the officials.
Zhu Yunwen was not as relaxed as the officials. When he returned to the harem, he fell asleep with his clothes on before he could spend time with Ma Enhui.
Although the boat trip was not very bumpy, I couldn't sleep deeply. I was often awakened by the boatman's voice. In addition, there were many things during this period and I had another morning meeting, which made me extremely exhausted.
Ma Enhui held Zhu Wenkui's hand, looked at the sleeping Zhu Yunwen, and said softly to Zhu Wenkui: "Father, I was too tired from the court meeting today. Can I accompany you tomorrow?"
Zhu Wenkui stretched out his hand, pulled the thin brocade quilt on Zhu Yunwen's body, turned to Ma Enhui and said, "My child just wants to spend more time with my father."
Ma Enhui's heart softened, she stroked the child's head and smiled happily: "Father will be happy knowing that Kui'er is so sensible. Then can the queen tell you a story here?"
"OK."
Zhu Wenkui was filled with joy.
Ma Enhui took out a book. This book was written by Concubine Ning. It recorded what Zhu Yunwen saw during a private visit incognito. Since his son didn't want to leave, let him listen to his father's story.
"There is a Hu's Grain Store in Suzhou City..."
Ma Enhui told the story with a smile.
Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Ning saw that her sister Han Xiayu wanted to go out again but was caught. She couldn't help but take out the ruler and threatened: "Sister, have you ever told me that this is the palace, and there are palace rules in the palace. Learn the rules." Only then can you get out of Zhongcui Palace."
Han Xiayu pouted, a little aggrieved, and said, "Brother-in-law said, I don't need to learn the rules."
"Call the Emperor! There is no brother-in-law in the palace!"
Concubine Ning had a headache because she was spoiled by Zhu Yunwen.
Han Xiayu refused to accept it and said: "I must tell my brother-in-law that you always bully me. Well, I also need to write a letter to tell my father, mother, brother..."
Concubine Ning slapped the ruler, stood up, and said: "If you don't know the rules, then go home. I will send someone to take you back tomorrow!"
Han Xiayu was panicking now. He had just arrived in the capital and had not even seen the prosperity of the capital, so he was driven home. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"Sister, I'm not good at studying yet..."
Han Xiayu was convinced.
Concubine Ning arranged for her maid Luomei to call Qingqing, Zijin and Zipei and said, "Now you know where this is, right?"
Qingqing, Zijin, and Zipei never imagined that the person they followed was actually the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In their guess, Zhu Yunwen should be a high official in the capital, but they never thought that he would be such a high official...
Qingqing, in particular, almost fainted after confirming Zhu Yunwen's identity again and again. Although she was young, she also knew that biting the emperor would cause his head to fall off. She touched him back and forth many times to make sure that her head was still there, and then she gradually accepted the reality.
No wonder these people are so mysterious, sometimes speak so profoundly, and hide from others...
"The emperor has said that you three will have a hard life. Since you choose to follow the palace, then be Xia Yu's maid. She is just a child, and you are not that old, but I still hope that you can take good care of her."
Concubine Ning arranged.
Qingqing, Zijin, and Zipei nodded repeatedly.
Concubine Ning waved, and the maid Luomei took out a stack of portrait scrolls.
Concubine Ning said solemnly to Han Xiayu, Qingqing and others: "There are many rules in the palace, and there is no more freedom than outside. But all rules should start with recognizing people. This first portrait is of the emperor, you are already very familiar with it. The second portrait The portrait is of Empress Dowager Lu. Empress Dowager Lu believes in Buddhism. If you see her, you must not say anything bad about the Buddha..."
From Queen Mother Lu, to Queen Ma Enhui, to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning introduced them all clearly, and then ordered Luomei to teach several people how to salute, answer etiquette, and dress...
The next morning.
Zhu Yunwen slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at Ma Enhui who was sleeping beside the bed. He felt a little distressed. He stood up carefully, walked a certain distance, and then asked the palace maid Yinxiu: "Didn't the queen rest last night?"
Yinxiu said softly: "Back to the emperor, the queen was here in the middle of the night
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Telling stories to the prince, I saw the emperor sweating in the middle of the night, so I kept fanning him aside and fell asleep not long ago. "
Zhu Yunwen did not blame Yinxiu. Ma Enhui always dealt with her own affairs in the hands of others.
"Send someone to send a message to the Queen Mother, saying that I have something to do at the moment. I will go to say hello later and inform Concubine Ning and others." Zhu Yunwen looked at Ma Enhui, who was still awake, and chose to wait. He saw Shuangxi standing at the door. Then he said: "Bring all the undisposed documents in Wuying Palace here."
Near noon, Ma Enhui slowly woke up.
"It's already noon?"
Ma Enhui looked at the sky and panicked.
Today, I am going to greet the Queen Mother together with Zhu Yunwen, Xian Concubine, Ning Concubine, Shu Concubine, Zhu Wenkui, and Han Xiayu. The Emperor is still here. I am afraid that he has already paid his respects. A group of people have gone. As the Queen, have you gone? , wouldn’t it make Empress Dowager Lu dissatisfied?
"Your Majesty, I will go to Cining Palace to ask for punishment..."
Ma Enhui was a little scared.
After all, Queen Mother Lu is the hidden giant in the harem. If she gets angry, it will be uncomfortable for her as a queen.
Zhu Yunwen said slowly and calmly: "The penalty will be waived. It's better to say hello. There is some food on the table. Let's put some cushion on it. We will go to see the Queen Mother later."
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise and asked, "The emperor hasn't gone to Cining Palace yet?"
Yinxiu smiled at the side and said: "The emperor wanted the queen to rest for a while, so he postponed the greeting."
Ma Enhui was so moved that she smiled at Zhu Yunwen, then arranged for a maid to help her dress up, and then ordered someone to bring Zhu Wenkui...
Cining Palace.
Zhu Yunwen, Ma Enhui and others paid their respects to Empress Dowager Lu.
Empress Dowager Lu deliberately put on an air of displeasure and said, "Look, it's already noon. I remember saying hello in the morning. When did the time change?"
Just as Ma Enhui was about to tell the reason, Zhu Yunwen was the first to say: "The reason why the time was changed is because there is a gift that needs to be packaged carefully before it can be presented to the queen."
Empress Dowager Lu picked up the tea bowl and said calmly: "There is nothing to pack for ordinary things. Just be willing. Don't kneel down. Get up."
Zhu Yunwen walked to Empress Dowager Lu and said, "My son is thinking about my mother's birthday, so I went to Hangzhou to find a gift."
"That's all, don't waste money and people."
Queen Mother Lu declined.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded to the waiter outside the door. Shuangxi came slowly with a tray in hand. The tray was covered with gold cloth, making it difficult to see what was inside.
"Your Majesty, with this thing, my mind will always be at peace."
Ma Enhui advised from the side.
Empress Dowager Lu finally became interested, stood up and walked forward, saying: "Since you have taken it out, let's take a look. Queen, how about you help me uncover it?"
Ma Enhui agreed, raised her hand to hold the top of the gold cloth, and slowly lifted it up, revealing a gilded and pure silver Ashoka Pagoda.
"This is……"
Queen Mother Lu's eyes were instantly attracted, and her outstretched hand trembled.
Concubine Ning introduced: "Your Majesty, this gilded silver Ashoka Pagoda is taken from Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou. There is also a gold coffin in this Ashoka Pagoda, and the things inside are the real treasures..."
Empress Dowager Lu looked at Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning reached out and pressed the grooves on both sides of Ashoka Tower. Then she took out a golden coffin from the bottom of Ashoka Tower. When she opened the golden coffin, there was a stone-like object in three colors: gray, white and black. .
"Could this be..."
Queen Mother Lu was surprised.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "This is the real Buddha's conch hair relic."
"Buddha's conch hair relic?!"
Queen Mother Lu exclaimed, this is a real treasure, a Buddhist treasure.
Looking at the happy Empress Dowager Lu, Zhu Yunwen smiled. The most important thing was to be busy and please people's hearts.
Empress Dowager Lu was deeply concerned, but she was unwilling to tell her. She was devoted to worshiping the Buddha, and was occasionally plagued by nightmares. Now that she has the Buddha's conch hair relic, it can somewhat soothe her soul.
She should also let go of her father Zhu Biao's departure.
After Empress Dowager Lu's mood stabilized, Zhu Yunwen led Han Xiayu forward to greet Empress Dowager Lu, and then said: "I plan to let Han Yu accompany Wen Kui. What do you think, Queen Mother?"
Empress Dowager Lu liked Han Xiayu's innocence and brilliance very much, especially his smile and squinting, which were very beautiful. She couldn't help but said: "It's up to you to handle Wenkui's affairs. I like this child very much and ask her to spend more time with me." "
Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm just afraid that she's naughty.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Breaking the rules in the palace. "
Empress Dowager Lu had a cold face and said sternly: "Where can a child come from so many rules? If you want rules, wait two years."
Zhu Yunwen was speechless looking at the partial Queen Mother Lu. You are not like this towards your grandson Zhu Yunkui...
"You go over there and play for a while, and I'll have a few words with the emperor."
Empress Dowager Lu watched Han Xiayu go away, and Ma Enhui, Concubine Ning and others were not nearby, so she said to Zhu Yunwen: "I heard that you plan to send King Qi back to the sea again. Is this a problem?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "That's right."
Empress Dowager Lu sighed and advised: "It stands to reason that the palace should not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, but you have to think carefully about this matter. After all, King Qi is your uncle after Taizu. If you act like this, other vassal kings will It won’t be cold, Ming Dynasty can’t do without them.”
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said easily: "Queen Mother, it is precisely because I consider other uncles that I am so determined to tell them that the Ming Dynasty does not allow any vassal king to make trouble again. Whoever makes trouble will only end up worse than King Qi." Worse."
Empress Dowager Lu saw that Zhu Yunwen had made up his mind and could not change it, so she could only sigh: "You have been a bit violent recently. You should find some monks to deal with it."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Empress Dowager Lu's worried eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed: "I know."
Empress Dowager Lu looked at the Asoka Pagoda next to her and said, "Since you came to the throne, the imperial court and the capital have changed a lot. When I left the palace a few days ago, I heard that there were more than a hundred opera troupes in the capital. I went there specially to listen. Yes, it’s not bad. Although it’s not as good as the art troupe, it still has a folk flavor... It can be seen that you are a competent monarch. In your hands, the Ming Dynasty will usher in a prosperous age. "
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and said with some shame: "The prosperity of the capital has covered up too much darkness that cannot be seen. During this private visit to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, I saw clearly a lot of administrative mistakes. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't Go out and have a look. After many years, hundreds of officials will congratulate you on a prosperous age, but I am afraid it will only be a prosperous age for a few people, like the Northern Song Dynasty."
"I dare not forget the lessons learned from the past. I have only one hope, and that is that when the prosperous times come, I can walk out of the palace with my mother, empress, Wen Kui, etc. to welcome the call of all people."
Empress Dowager Lu glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said: "Don't worry, I will live longer, at least I will go to see your father with the news of the prosperous age."
Zhu Yunwen was about to say that he didn't mean it, but he heard Empress Dowager Lu say: "By the way, you go to that room, I have prepared a person for you to see."
"who?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused.
Queen Mother Lu glared at Zhu Yunwen and said, "You'll find out when you get there!"
Zhu Yunwen did not dare to disobey, so he had to walk into the house. When he got inside, he saw Kuang Yu carrying a medicine box. Zhu Yunwen could not help but widen his eyes and asked: "Why did you go to Cining Palace when you are not in the medical school?"
Kuang Yu glanced at Empress Dowager Lu behind Zhu Yunwen, and said quickly: "The Empress Dowager is worried that the emperor is tired from traveling around, so she specially arranged for Wei Chen to check his pulse and nurse him back to health."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Empress Dowager Lu and said that he was in good health. What kind of care did he need?
Empress Dowager Lu couldn't help but insisted that Kuang Yu check Zhu Yunwen's pulse. In order not to make the old man angry, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to sit down, watch Kuang Yu take the pulse, and said: "Hurry up and go back to the Imperial College. The three classics of "Medicine" are waiting for you. After the inspection is completed, the engraving and printing will be completed."
Kuang Yu smiled helplessly, checked his pulse for a moment, then stopped his hand and said: "The emperor is in good health, there is no serious problem, and does not need to be nursed back to health."
Empress Dowager Lu also wanted Kuang Yu to take a look, so she drove Zhu Yunwen away, and did not extend her hand to let Kuang Yu check his pulse. She said seriously: "Tell the truth!"
Kuang Yu said seriously: "Queen Mother, according to my diagnosis, the Emperor's health is indeed fine."
Empress Dowager Lu slapped the table and said coldly: "No problem? I don't think it's a problem. It's been two years. The queen, Xian Fei, Shu Fei, Ning Fei, none of them have any stomachaches. Please think of a way, the royal family How can your bloodline be so thin!"
Kuang Yu looked sad. What could he do about the matter between the emperor and his wife?
You can't donate some medicine specifically for spring. In that case, wouldn't you become a sycophant and lose the reputation of the hospital and medical school?
Kuang Yu whispered: "Empress Dowager, I heard that ambergris has the effects of promoting blood circulation, replenishing essence, assisting the yang path, and promoting blood vessels, and it seems that ambergris is effective in the palace..."
Empress Dowager Lu suddenly understood and praised Kuang Yu for his profound medical knowledge.
Kuang Yu's face turned dark and he quickly denied that this was what he had heard. He couldn't afford ambergris. No, he didn't need to use ambergris at all...
