The Chinese New Year is a big deal, and anything should be done after the New Year.
Especially this year, the vassal princes will go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and the princes and princesses will also bring their families to the palace to celebrate the New Year.
This was something extraordinary and even inconsistent with etiquette, but considering the old man's age, the civil and military ministers seemed to understand.
Seventy years in life are rare!
Therefore, at the end of the 29th year of Hongwu and the beginning of the 30th year of Hongwu, the official duties of the six departments of the capital of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have become less. Except for necessary military and state affairs, those that could be put aside for the time being, ministers
They can make their own decisions and do what they want to do, instead of being sent to the palace en masse like before.
In fact, governing the world is the same as living at home. There are not so many major military affairs. They are almost all small and trivial matters. Only when these small things are done well can we deal with the real big things.
However, the palace did not relax because of the lack of government affairs. After King Zhu Zhi of Liao came to Beijing, vassal kings came to Beijing one after another.
The King of Jin, the King of Zhou, the King of Qi, the King of Shu, the King of Dai, the King of Gu, the King of Xiang, the King of Qing, etc., except for a few young princes who were still in the palace and had not yet become vassal, there were almost a dozen vassal kings with their sons.
, gathered in the capital.
Even Zhu Mo, the King of Korea who was enfeoffed in Goryeo, rushed to the capital. However, among them, the three vassal kings Yan Chuning did not come to the capital in person, which is quite intriguing.
King Yan and King Ning are both kings of competition at the border. They have important responsibilities, and it is understandable that they are afraid of another war at the border in the new year.
But what about King Chu?
People who know the inside story know that the emperor and the emperor's grandson seem to be dissatisfied with the King of Chu. The last time the King of Chu came to Beijing, he was reprimanded by the emperor.
However, all these doubts and speculations are now hidden under the joy of happiness.
In the Wangchun Terrace in the Imperial Garden, the ground is so hot that even if the windows are open, the breeze blowing in from outside is as warm as spring. And looking out from the windows, the eyes are filled with proudly blooming wintersweets, which is pleasing to the eye.
Zhu Yunxi was sitting in the first place, and the other vassal princes were listed on both sides. Everyone's face was full of smiles and relaxed. It was as if they were really a family, celebrating the New Year together and laughing.
In the side hall outside, the princes and grandsons of each vassal king also gathered together. As the family was getting bigger, many brothers did not know each other, so this occasion was just the right opportunity for them to get to know each other.
All the vassal kings were whispering and talking about interesting things in their fiefdoms. A group of little brat princes who had not yet become vassals were pestering their brothers, especially the kings of Jin and Liao, asking them to
The war in Liaodong was talked about again and again.
"Uncle Twenty-one, you are becoming more and more heroic!" Zhu Yunxi, dressed in ordinary cotton clothes, smiled and said to King Zhu Mo of Han who was sitting next to him.
King Zhu Mo of Han was the 21st son of the emperor. His title was King Shen, and he should have ruled Shenyang. However, after Zhu Yunxi's expedition to Goryeo, in order to integrate Goryeo into the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, his title was changed from King Shen to King Han.
, the fiefdom also changed from Shenyang to Lelang County, the former Pyongyang.
Today, Zhu Mo has been practicing outside for two years and is already a vigorous young man. He is no longer the frivolous person he used to be in the palace, jumping up and down all day long.
If he keeps a straight face on weekdays, he really looks like a Ming vassal king.
But now when I speak, I feel a little timid.
"What a heroic figure! You just have to carry it every day!" Zhu Mo said with a smile, "To be honest with His Highness, I am just a vassal in a poor place, and my subordinates are whispering in my ears every day. Your Majesty Qiantose is a
He is the emperor's own son, so he should be above majesty."
"Don't speak lightly, otherwise the subjects under your rule will not be afraid of the prince!"
"Oh, what I, the vassal king, have done is quite tiring! Moreover, there is nothing interesting in that miserable place in the fiefdom. It's just those things that I keep turning over and over all day long."
"Mainly, there are not even any rebels. When I first went there, I killed several local scholars who did not submit to the control of the Celestial Empire. I may have killed them ruthlessly, but now there is not even a voice of opposition!"
"I also want to imitate the third brother. The fifteenth brother led the troops to fight, but there are no robbers in the fiefdom!" After all, Zhu Mo is a young man at heart, and he is close to Zhu Yunxi from the bottom of his heart. As he talks, he starts to lose his temper.
"Let's go hunting, there's no prey. Let's go sightseeing, there aren't many famous mountains and rivers. Just find a woman, hey! That's called ugly!"
"Shut up!" Jin Wang Zhu Fan couldn't stand it anymore and scolded with a frown, "We are all princes, and we don't have any rules when it comes to what we say and do. Your Highness is talking nonsense in front of you! How can you behave like this on the streets?
Like a rogue."
When Zhu Mo was scolded by King Jin, he first shrank his neck in fear, and then muttered in a low voice, "My brother and His Highness grew up together, how can there be so many rules!"
"You are so stubborn, right?" King Zhu Fan of Jin is now the leader of the vassal kings. He is like a father to his eldest brother. When he saw that his younger brother dared to talk back, he couldn't help but get angry. He stood up and rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action.
"Your Highness, help me!" Zhu Mo rushed behind Zhu Yunxi with a swish, "Third brother, spare me!"
The little kid princes nearby who were pestering the King of Liao about the war were stunned at first when they saw this, and then they started to boo.
"Look, Brother 3 is going to beat Brother 21!"
"Brother Twenty-One, run quickly and go to your father to complain!"
"The third brother bullies the younger brother with his elder brother, and bullies the twenty-first brother!"
Those little kid princes who have not yet become feudal lords are all the youngest sons of the old man. They and Zhu Mo grew up together and have a deep brotherly love. Even though Jin Wang Zhu Fan is their elder brother, if the two of them really fight, these
The little brat will definitely help Zhu Mo.
"Hey!" Seeing his brothers making noises, King Zhu Fan of Jin became even more angry, "Let's see if I don't kill you one by one."
"Forget it, forget it!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Third uncle, don't be like them!" After saying that, he took Zhu Fan by his hand, made him sit down, and continued to laugh, "I'm used to lawlessness, no one can
I can’t control it!”
"Why don't you care?" Zhu Fan shook his head and said, "There are no rules at all!" As he said, he looked sideways at those little brats, "They are jumping up and down, and they are more noisy than the sons in Chen's family!"
"How can I take care of it?" Privately, Zhu Yunxi did not call himself a loner. He smiled and lowered his voice, "If you take care of the younger ones, the older ones will come. You can take care of the younger ones, but who can afford to offend the older ones!"
Suddenly, Zhu Fan understood and started laughing.
Immediately, he looked at the noisy little princes with a little envy in his eyes, "Back then, when I was young, my father was never so doting on me! When something happens, don't worry about whether it's right or not, just give me a good beating first.
Let’s talk about the soles of the shoes!”
"It has always been natural for the old to care for the young!" Zhu Yunxi also looked at those little boys and princes and said with a smile, "Actually, regardless of their seniority, in my heart, sometimes I regard them as juniors."
This is true. Sometimes Zhu Yunxi looks at these young princes, including the old man's precious daughter Xiao Fu'er, as if he himself is an elder.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Yunxi, with a hint of relief in his eyes, patted the back of Zhu Yunxi's hand, and whispered, "It's not easy to run a family, and you are not old. In the past few years, everyone in the palace, old and young, has thanked you."
you!"
"What are you talking about, third uncle?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Isn't that what a nephew should do?"
Zhu Fan felt even more pleased and said with a smile, "Hey, compared with His Highness, those useless people in my family should all be thrown away!"
"Don't throw it away!" Zhu Mo said from behind Zhu Yunxi, "After all, he is the third brother's biological son!"
"You" Zhu Fan was furious in an instant, with a ferocious expression on his face.
"Third brother, don't be violent!" Zhu Mo took a few steps away and whispered, "Brother, tell father!"
"I didn't even beat you, why are you suing?" Zhu Fan said angrily.
"Well," Zhu Mo thought about it, "Just now, Your Highness, the Grandson of the Emperor, is worthy of your uncle and nephew, and you actually admit it. My father has said that His Highness is the king, and we are the ministers, so we must not overstep our bounds!"
Zhu Fan's face instantly turned livid, and he squinted at the princes next to him, "Don't stop me, let's see if I don't beat him to death today!"
