At some point, dark clouds came from the sky.
For some reason, this cloud seems to be very low, as if it is within reach.
The Forbidden City under the clouds, with its dazzling gold brick and red walls in the past, now looks very dull. What is even more uncomfortable is that the moment the clouds come over, there is no wind, and the world is filled with the desolation and coldness of winter. (Besides,
Once again, the Forbidden City in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, formerly known as the Forbidden City.)
Without wind, it would be very dull. Without wind, everything in the palace would be a little listless.
After getting off the carriage of the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath, then squeezed out a smile on his face and walked towards Fengtian Palace.
In the hall, the old man was holding a booklet and looking at the pile of gift boxes in the hall, checking them one by one.
"Back!" Seeing Zhu Yunxi come in, the old man smiled and said, "I went out of the palace again, was it fun?"
Looking at the old man who was so kind to him, Zhu Yunxi felt heartbroken.
If what happened today is really what he thought, it would be a big blow and hurt to this old man. He may not be a perfect emperor, but he is an emperor who does not rub dirt in his eyes. However, he is conscientious and does not hesitate to bear the burden of his opponents.
Officials' harsh names can't stop the dirty things happening in the world.
Especially since the Chinese New Year is about to come, this old man who has worked hard for a year may not even be able to live a stable and peaceful year.
At the same time, it also gave Zhu Yunxi a deeper understanding of the word "tianxia" and the word "lonely person". The emperor rules the world? In fact, the emperor does not know much about the affairs of the world. Not only does he not know, but everyone is carrying it and hiding it.
, lie.
Remember https://m in one second.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi smiled a little, "My grandson went to Qixia Temple. There is a temple fair and a big market there. It's very lively!"
"Temple? Don't go there when you are young!" The old man shook his head and said, "Don't look at those monks and five people. They are the worst things. They will look at people and see that you are not a mortal, so they will fool you to death and fool you.
Pay for it!”
"My grandson didn't enter the temple, so he was just strolling outside!" Zhu Yunxi walked to the old man with a smile, looked at the pile of things on the ground and asked, "What are these?"
"A New Year's gift from your uncles!" The old man smiled and picked up a hanging bacon, "This is the bacon sent by the King of Hunan. Hunan bacon is good. It is smoked from pine branches, and the fried oil is golden.
!”
The annual gifts given by vassal kings in various places are specialties of each place. They are given to express filial piety and are not precious things.
"These are tangerines from Jiangxi!" The old man pointed at a basket of oranges and smiled. "Although there are floods in Jiangxi this year, these oranges are growing well. Fruit farmers will have a good year this year!" As he said, he said
Shaking his head, "Not necessarily, the things given to us are all carefully selected. Whether the farmers are prosperous or not can't be seen in the tributes!"
The emperor enjoys the best things in the world, but often these best things can blind the monarch's eyes. They can also become a means for ministers to whitewash peace.
"This is from your third uncle, what is it?" The old man kicked open a gift box with his toes and scolded with a smile, "Oh, he gave me a New Year's gift as a New Year's gift, and he gave me several jars of old vinegar! What's the use of this thing?
"
Zhu Yunxi also laughed and said, "It's quite annoying!"
"As long as you get what you want!" The old man smiled and asked, "Over at the Zhao family, you didn't send anyone to send anything?"
"I asked Wang Shai to send my grandson away!" Zhu Yunxi replied, "I didn't send anything too expensive, just food and drink."
"Your father-in-law's family is a stable family. They haven't even moved into their house yet, and they still live in the small house they used to have!" The old man said with a smile, "We heard that their street was renamed because of the Zhao family!"
"My grandson has also heard about it!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It was renamed Niangniang Lane!"
It turns out that the street in front of Zhao Ning'er's house was called Shuijing Hutong. After Zhao Ning'er came out, the people of Nancheng changed their name and called it Niangniang Lane.
"Years ago, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the rites department issued a letter of appointment and a betrothal gift." The old man added, "After ordering the gift, you will go to the Ancestral Temple to worship your ancestors. You will be busy this year!"
People tend to talk a little bit when they get older, and so does the old man. The New Year gifts were piled high, and the two of them looked at them slowly and chatted slowly.
At this time, Pu Bucheng came over quietly, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat!"
Then Zhu Yunxi accompanied the old man and sat down in front of the dining table. On the table were four-color dishes and a bowl of soup. They were all made from New Year gifts sent by vassals from various places, including fried bacon, air-dried chicken, dried mutton, cold radish, etc.
The old man took a sip of the mutton soup first and said, "It's not flavorful enough. Go and open the old vinegar presented by King Jin and drop a few drops!"
"I said it was useless just now, but now it is used!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The old man smiled and said, "If you leave it alone, it's okay to leave it alone. Borrowing it just to taste it doesn't mean it's trashing something!"
"You!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and added a chopstick of frosting sugar to the old man's shredded radish, "It's just like this candy-centered radish, so beautiful!"
"Sons are filial, of course they are beautiful in their hearts!" The two men spoke very casually in private, and the old man smiled and said, "When you have children, you will know how you feel!"
When people get older, their hearts become much softer. The old man's tenderness is for his children and grandchildren, and thousands of families are reunited during the New Year. Only in the heavenly family, father and son are far apart, so only these ordinary worldly gifts can give sustenance. It is precisely these ordinary things.
New year's gift makes people miss you even more.
Moreover, this year has been an eventful year. Prince Zhu Biao has passed away. The old man did not say anything about it, but he has not yet calmed down in his heart.
"How about!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man and said, "Let some uncles who are close to you come to Beijing so that we can celebrate the New Year together?"
"Don't talk about that!" the old man said while chewing the dried chicken, "Who is the right person to choose? No one is suitable to choose! We know you are filial, so just have this heart!"
Yes, no one is suitable to choose. The Tian family is both affectionate and ruthless. When the old man is here, the Tian family is still a family. If he is gone, the family will completely become a country.
Zhu Yunxi pushed the food forward for the old man, but the next second, the movement of his hands stopped.
The old man also put down his chopsticks in surprise, with a look of confusion in his eyes that were always calm.
Boom, boom!
It was the sound of drums, a faint sound of drums.
Dong Dong, from far to near, very slowly.
Dongdong, although weak, is shaking the world.
Miyagi, which was originally a bit dull under the clouds, suddenly became windy.
Boom, boom!
Wow, when Zhu Yunxi stood up, he touched the cup on the table and made a crisp sound. He looked into the distance and saw that the direction from which the drum sound came was the Chengtian Gate of the palace city.
The king inherits the will of heaven and governs the world, which is called Chengtianmen.
Dong Dong! The drum sound is still there, shocking the heart.
At the Chengtian Gate, there stands a war drum that accompanied the old man in the wars in all directions. It is called the Que. It was erected for all the people of the world. When the Que was erected, the holy edict was issued to the world. If the people have injustices or have been wronged, they can knock on the Que to commemorate it.
Report to the emperor and uphold justice.
Someone, knock on the door!
Someone filed a shocking imperial complaint!
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi said slowly, "Someone is knocking on the door!"
The old man slowly wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up, as if he had returned to the battlefield where he was fighting. His aura was calm and intimidating, "Pu Bucheng!"
"My slave is here!" Pu Bucheng crawled forward and fell on the ground.
"Change my clothes and dress me!" the old man said sternly.
"yes!"
"Change Gu Ye's clothes and dress!" Zhu Yunxi also said.
These two men have always worn dragon robes if they could, but now they have to wear them.
Dozens of eunuchs were busy in the palace. The old man wore a twelve-color emperor's crown and a twelve-piece Panlonggun robe.
This is the most solemn dress of the Ming Emperor. It is embroidered with sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insect species woven on the clothes, Zongyi, algae, fire, pink rice, and fufu embroidered on the clothes. (fufu, is a kind of dress.
The pattern used, the Ming Dynasty's dress was black and blue, or it has been the same style since the Western Zhou Dynasty and has not changed. It is a more advanced dress than the dragon robe. The Western Zhou Dynasty lasted until the Ming Dynasty and was not used in the Qing Dynasty.)
The color and style of Zhu Yunxi's dress are the same as those of the emperor, but there are only nine chapters on his body, and there are no sun, moon and stars that represent the world and the universe.
"Grandson!" The old man's face was hidden behind the twelve-bead curtain, "How about someone knocking on the door?"
Zhu Yunxi said loudly, "When the subjects knock on the door, the emperor should open the Hongwu Gate to welcome them, judge the injustice of the world, investigate the grievances of the subjects, punish the sinners, and tell the world!"
Well, the old man stood up and put his hands on his waist.
"Come on, come out with us! Let's see who has made the people of our country suffer injustice!"
