Wenhua Hall was specially built for the prince to study and observe politics.
After Zhu Yunxu took charge of the country, he worked in Wenhua Palace as usual.
After that, the Counselor's Office and the Military Affairs Office were established. Neither of them had a government office. For the sake of convenience, they all worked in the Cultural Hall, one on the left and one on the right, while Taisun served as a director in the middle hall.
If there is anything important or urgent, please report it at any time.
After dividing government affairs and military affairs, Zhu Yunxuan's work became relatively free.
Although he was in the Wenhua Palace, he did not deal with state affairs. Instead, he ordered several palace maids and eunuchs to read to him from the sidelines.
In his previous life, Zhu Yunzhen had the habit of listening to books.
It was the Internet age, and there was special software for listening to books. You could open it and listen to books.
Ming Dynasty did not have such advanced technology.
Fortunately, he is the emperor's grandson, and his position of power is extraordinary.
Now that Lao Zhu is out in Yangshan to recuperate, he is the biggest in the palace and can do whatever he wants.
Zhu Yunxuan selected a few people to read to him on the spot, imitating the method used in the listening software in his previous life.
The original sound makes it more interesting than listening to books online in the previous life.
Sure enough, as long as you have enough power and status, you can have ultimate enjoyment no matter where you are.
Zhu Yunxian was not an ascetic, and he did not like Zhu Xi's statement of "preserving heaven's principles and destroying human desires".
His life creed is "To be successful in life, you must have all the fun" and "If you have wine now, you will get drunk now."
Before, I was nervous every step of the way in the court, afraid of making mistakes and not daring to indulge in pleasure, but now I have finally gained a firm foothold.
The great Ming Dynasty has many beautiful people, all waiting for him to show his ambitions, and he is even more proud of "singing in the daytime and drinking too much".
I actually didn’t drink much wine.
In his previous life, he hated the wine table culture very much.
Now that I can make my own decisions, I certainly don’t know how to drink.
On the other hand, the snacks in the palace are nuts, there are many delicious things, and I can't stop eating them while listening to books.
"It's delicious, big brother, when are you going to leave the palace to play!"
Next to Zhu Yunzhen, Xixi also chewed her mouth and asked while eating.
"I heard that there are many interesting, delicious and beautiful treasures at the pier outside Jinling City. I really want to see them."
Although the little girl is only six or seven years old, she is a natural "social master".
Ever since I came to Jinling with him, everyone I met was sweet-mouthed.
Even to the maids and eunuchs in the palace, the brothers and sisters kept shouting, which made the maids and eunuchs feel flattered.
After all, although she is a maid in name, she can call His Highness the Great Grandson "eldest brother", which shows that her status is extraordinary.
How can ordinary palace maids and eunuchs dare to accept this?
It's just that the little girl is careless and doesn't take it seriously. In addition, she has a pretty face and is affectionate to everyone she meets.
The palace maid is still telling stories and has not stopped.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said, "Who did you listen to?"
"It's Sister Yan'er." Xixi excitedly took out a light red agate ornament and said, "Brother, this is what Sister Yan'er gave me. She said she bought it from a dock outside the city. Isn't it pretty? ?”
The sister Yan'er mentioned by Xixi is the daughter of Princess Anqing. Zhu Yunzhen's cousin Ouyang Yan is one year older than him and is eight years old this year.
"Let me have a look." Zhu Yunzhen took it and put it in his hand.
This is a bile agate.
Water gall agate is the most precious variety of agate. It is characterized by a small closed space inside, which contains water.
This thing takes a long time to form.
Because there are holes in them, most of them have a certain size, and the common weight is about ten kilograms. They can only be used as ornaments, not as portable jewelry.
The agate, which is as big as the jade pendant in front of you and has hidden water droplets, is definitely an extremely rare treasure.
Not to mention that the color of this object is bright and transparent, and the water waves inside form a circle of clouds. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.
Girls are irresistible to beautiful things, especially little girls.
How could Ouyang Yan be willing to give it to Xixi when he got such a rare thing?
The image of this cousin flashed through Zhu Yunzhen's mind. Although he didn't have many interactions with her before, he still had some contacts with her.
The impression was that Ouyang Yan was a very stingy person. No matter what was in her hands, she would never spit it out again. She even had a fight with his predecessor because of this.
It is well worth savoring such a precious agate as a gift to Xixi.
Ouyang Yan's father, Princess Anqing's horse was Ouyang Lun. He was originally a commoner and passed the first prize. Later, he was favored by Lao Zhu and recruited as his consort.
Previously, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu, had told him about the relatives of the emperor in Beijing, his ministers and dignitaries.
This prince-in-law was very good at doing business and commanded his slaves to do business and made a lot of profits.
He was thinking that someone from outside came to report, and Xu Miaojin, the director of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, asked to see him.
Xu Miaojin wore a light blue and white flowered Luo Shang, tied into two ponytails, and seemed to have applied a little vermilion lipstick. Her delicate goose-white face showed a slight blush, and her mouth was even more like a pill. The autumn watery eyes already had a bit of an alluring look.
"I also thought you were busy with state affairs. It turned out that you were enjoying yourself here and went to Songjiang Mansion, but you turned out to be bad and brought back a pretty little sister."
As soon as he came in, Xu Miaojin scolded him.
In the entire palace, she was the only one who dared to talk to the grandson like this.
The palace maids and eunuchs next to her were all silent, wishing they could plug their ears with something.
"What's wrong, you're still meddling in my business." Zhu Yunzhen didn't show any weakness, and immediately sneered: "Little girls, there is nothing like a lady. I don't know who will be so unlucky to marry in the future." Where are you as my wife?"
"You!" Xu Miaojin frowned angrily.
Next to her, Xixi ran over happily and shouted: "Sister Xu!"
"Xi Xi is so good!" Xu Miaojin immediately changed her face.
The two had met before, interacted with each other, and even talked about speculation.
In her words just now, she seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxun for bringing Xixi back, but in fact she was having a heated fight with Xixi.
I thought that Zhu Yunxuan would come to see me after returning to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have forgotten.
Even when she went to the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, no one informed her.
When Xu Miaojin heard the news and rushed over, he had already left.
The only thing I remember is that she was given the position of general manager of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau and was given the rank of fifth grade.
She felt aggrieved when she thought about how she had been thinking about him day and night, busy with his affairs, and worrying about him.
At this moment, I finally saw him, but for some reason, I wanted to be angry, so I said that.
But when Zhu Yunxuan retorted, Xu Miaojin regretted it again.
Why do you want to make him unhappy?
Just as Xixi was calling her from the side, Xu Miaojin immediately took the opportunity to turn around.
Zhu Yunzhen actually didn't take it seriously.
If you have dealt with little girls a lot, you know her temperament.
It's just that he's a bit stubborn.
Probably because her father Xu Da died early, the little girl seemed to be born with a lack of security and could not bear any grievance.
Zhu Yunzhen couldn't tolerate her.
If she wants to do things by her side, she must change her temper.
After talking to Xixi for a while, Xu Miaojin said, "I came to see you today because I have something important to tell you."
She looked at the palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right with serious expressions.
Zhu Yunxuan waved his hand, telling the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat, and took Xixi away as well.
There were only two of them left in the room.
"Your second brother met with Princess Anqing and the consort Ouyang Lun."
Xu Miaojin said: "They are aunt and nephew after all, and it's not easy for my people to stop them."
Zhu Yunxuan nodded.
Although all the maids and eunuchs around Zhu Yunwen were replaced by his own people, he was still His Royal Highness Prince Heng, and there was no decree to imprison him. Those people mainly played a surveillance role.
Zhu Yunwen was still active outside every day and participated in the compilation of "Hongwu Dadian".
If he had just met Princess Anqing and Prince Consort Ouyang Lun, Xu Miaojin would not have reported the matter so seriously.
The little girl's ability to do things is quite strong and she can distinguish the important from the important.
"I always felt that this meeting was not simple, so I asked people to keep an eye on the Prince Consort's Mansion in private. After Ouyang Lun returned, he disguised himself as a servant and left the house quietly."
"He went to the house of Chang Mao, the Marquis of Zheng."
Zhu Yunzhen's expression changed slightly.
It is not surprising that Ouyang Lun has a relationship with Chang Mao.
But doing it so secretly is intriguing.
"Not long after Ouyang Lun left, Chang Mao quietly left the house again. He changed his clothes sneakily, followed Qi Tai's carriage, waited for an opportunity to enter the carriage, stayed for a long time, and then left."
"I guess they must be plotting some conspiracy, most likely targeting you."
"Do you want to strike first?"
Xu Miaojin asked.
Zhu Yunxuan glanced at her and said, "They are all relatives of the emperor and respected ministers. How can we take them without evidence?"
Xu Miaojin smiled and said: "Isn't it easy to get evidence? Huang Zicheng is still in Jinyiwei's prison, so he said that he confessed and identified Qitai as his accomplice. If you sign a document, Jinyiwei can get it people."
"Then let Qi Tai bite out Chang Mao, who then bites out Ouyang Lun, and Ouyang Lun bites out Zhu Yunwen. In this way, we can catch them all."
Zhu Yunxuan praised: "What a great idea!"
Xu Miaojin said: "Then you sign the order now, and I will immediately go with the royal guards to get the person."
Zhu Yunzhen didn't move, rolled his eyes at her, and said: "It's just a private meeting. What kind of royal law are you committing? How big a crime is it? You just go and arrest someone like this?"
"If Qi Tai refuses to admit it, are you planning to launch a series of unjust prisons in the court?"
Xu Miaojin was immediately stunned.
"Grandpa Huang attaches great importance to family ties. When he returned to Beijing, he specially ordered Prince Heng and his officials to greet him. His intention is self-evident."
"What would Grandpa Huang think if he launched a big prison sentence as soon as he left the capital? It was just a matter of speculation, and he was targeting his own flesh and blood brothers?"
Xu Miaojin stayed there in a daze. She was not unintelligent, but she was worried about Zhu Yunzhen's safety, and caring would lead to chaos.
In addition, he believed that Zhu Yunxuan was now in great power and could arrest people by signing an order, so why not use it?
But I have never thought about what to do if no real evidence can be found after arresting someone?
At this time, after listening to Zhu Yunzhen's analysis, I realized that things were not that simple.
"Then what should we do?" Xu Miaojin said anxiously: "You must also know who are behind Ouyang Lun, Chang Mao and Qi Tai."
"If they join forces to launch an attack, how do you plan to respond?"
Ouyang Lun represents the royal family, Chang Mao represents the military generals, and behind Qi Tai is the civil service group.
The combination of the three forces cannot be underestimated.
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days."
Xu Miaojin said: "If we can't strike first and find out what they are planning, I'm afraid the situation will be very unfavorable."
"By the time they suddenly start to attack, I'm afraid it will be too late."
