A palace is still a palace, no matter what happens, it is still a palace.
When the sun falls on the golden glazed tiles, it is still so scary that people dare not look directly at it.
Zhu Yunxi performed a set of military boxing in the garden of Fengtian Temple to exercise his muscles and bones, then took a handkerchief from the eunuch standing beside him and wiped the sweat on his face.
Under the sun, beside the red palace wall and in the garden with blooming flowers, the young man's face was full of heroism.
"Grandpa Huang, are you up?" Zhu Yunxi threw his handkerchief over and asked.
The eunuch bowed and took it, "In response to your highness, the old emperor got up early and was reviewing the memorial in the palace!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded. The palace lost many people the day before yesterday and gained many new ones. His former personal eunuch Wang Sha was recovering from his injuries, and now this one was newly rewarded by the old man.
"That's right!" Zhu Yunxi stopped at the entrance of the garden, turned around and asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Pu Wuyong!" the eunuch said with a humble smile.
"Are you also from Korea?" Zhu Yunxi looked at it a few times and said, "The accent doesn't sound like it!"
"This slave is the god-grandson of Eunuch Pu, so his surname is Pu!"
Remember https://m in one second.
"Pu Wuyong?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "One of you is useless, and the other is useless. Haha, the bottom is gone, of course you are useless! Who named you, you are really talented!"
Pu Wuyong didn't know how to reply, so he could only laugh.
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, talking to an official.
What happened the day before yesterday was also a blow to the old man. Zhu Yunxi looked at his profile but didn't notice anything strange.
"Grandpa Huang, you got up so early!" Zhu Yunxi walked over and said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, and the official quickly saluted, "My lord, Zong Zhengfu Lang Hu Guang has met His Highness King Wu!"
Zongzheng Mansion is an institution specifically responsible for serving the sons and grandsons of the Zhu family. It has always been thankless and easy to fall into disgrace.
"Get back on your feet!" Zhu Yunxi said gently.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of paper from the imperial desk and handed it over, "Grandson, take a look!"
"One thousand pieces each of spring, summer, autumn and winter cloth, one hundred pieces of gold, one thousand catties of silver, one hundred catties of white jade. Two boxes each of pearls, agates and precious stones. Five hundred pieces each of Sichuan brocade and Hangzhou silk, three hundred pieces of ivory and tortoiseshell, and another porcelain factory.
Twelve sets of large and small pieces, three boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and two hundred pieces of gold, silver, and bronze wares."
"There are ten eunuchs, nuns, and thirty-two captains in brocade clothes."
"Enrich the East Palace of King Wu. If there are any deficiencies, the Zong Zhengfu will make up for them one by one according to the old rules of the prince immediately..."
After finishing reading, Zhu Yunxi asked doubtfully, "Grandpa Huang, is this? For your grandson?" He said, laughing, "Are you trying to empty the treasury?"
"You are the King of Wu, and the etiquette cannot be discarded. It turns out that we thought that your fiefdom is in Hangzhou, which is the richest place in the world. There is no need to arrange anything for you in the palace." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked the official to go down, and then continued.
, "But you don't need a fief now, but you still have to have the things you should have in the palace."
In feudal society, these were all rituals, which were etiquette and represented the etiquette of the class and the authority of the imperial power.
As the King of Wu of the Ming Dynasty and the direct grandson of the emperor, we must follow the etiquette for all living expenses. We cannot overstep it, but we cannot lack the things we should have.
If it's missing, it's a Ming Dynasty joke.
"Grandfather, your grandson doesn't need these!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Besides, my grandson is living here now, so where can I get so many treasures in the East Palace? My grandson won't need them! Besides, Jingren Palace is the original one."
Father’s residence has everything in it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang once decreed that the palace where the prince originally lived became Zhu Yunxi's bedroom. According to etiquette, even if he did not live in it, the original things must be sealed and replaced with new ones.
"It's good that you have such a heart!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted the stool next to him, asked Zhu Yunxi to sit down, and then said with a smile, "But these are the rules passed down from past dynasties to our Zhu family. They cannot be abolished."
After saying that, the old emperor smiled again and said, "Why do we need to rely on those scholars to govern the country? Because they know etiquette, etiquette is the outline of the world, and the outline cannot be messed up!"
"You said before that the world must be governed by principles!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, a few days ago you said that there was not enough money for disaster relief in Jiangxi. From my grandson's perspective, it is better..."
"It's all stuff in the warehouse, there's no money from the user department!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.
The Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty and conquered Dadu, which had been run by the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years. Countless rare treasures from all over the world fell into the hands of the Zhu family. Although the Ming Dynasty's treasury was a little thin, the emperor's private treasury contained good things.
But there are quite a few.
It is a pity that these treasures brought from the Liao and Song Dynasties to the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, as well as those brought by the Mongolian cavalry across the world, all bear the royal mark and are marked in the palace files and cannot be sold casually.
Even if it is sold, no one in the world would dare to buy it. The so-called gift is to make people behave themselves. It is not something of your status. If you use it, it is a crime.
"My grandson just thinks it's too much!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the piece of paper again, "Wow, so many treasures!"
"You are now the King of Wu. From now on, when you meet with ministers and foreign officials, you will always be rewarded during festivals and festivals." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "We can't let you be empty-handed and unable to take out anything!"
The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were extremely low, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still very generous to the officials and young talents. The officials he liked could always get rewards from the palace.
Moreover, as Zhu Yunxi got older, he came to the stage and rewarded foreign officials and relatives, which was what he should have done.
"In this way, my grandson will thank Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi saluted and smiled, "My grandson will also be a rich man in the future!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "No matter how rich you are, you have nowhere to spend it!"
What this means is that because of Zhu Yunxi's status, the most useless thing in the world to him and the easiest thing to come by is money.
The two men were smiling and talking when Pu Bucheng came in from outside, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, people are here!"
"Call in!" After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Yunxi and said, "Dasun, we have chosen a Ji Shan Dian officer for you." (Ji Shan, an official position equivalent to a secretary next to the prince of the Ming Dynasty. A person's name appeared before.
Also called Ji Shan, that’s a person’s name.)
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin young man with an elegant face, equal height, came in.
"My lord, Xie Jin is here to see His Majesty."
Then, he kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi and said, "My lord, see His Highness the King of Wu!"
"Xie Jin?" Zhu Yunxi thought about it and smiled, "Are you Xie Jin from Jiangxi?"
Xie Jin was slightly surprised, "Your Highness, do you recognize me?"
How could Zhu Yunxi not recognize this famous person in history? Not only did he recognize him, but he also knew that this man died miserably in the end.
"Not only do I recognize you, I also know that you are a child prodigy!"
Xie Jin was born in a traditional scholar's family in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He took part in the provincial examination at the age of seventeen and learned about the Yuan Dynasty. At the age of ten, he took the national examination and became Jinshi in the same subject with his elder brother Xie Lun and brother-in-law Huang Huanghua.
of good stories.
After becoming a Jinshi, Zhu Yuanzhang personally appointed Xie Jin as a Shujishi and entered the Hanlin Academy. For scholars, this is the most noble official position in the world.
In the Ming Empire, to be a high official one must be a Jinshi, and to enter the Hanlin Academy is to be a candidate for cabinet ministers, but it just takes some time to hone.
Logically speaking, such an official career should be smooth sailing.
However, not only was Jie Jin's official career unsatisfactory, but he was also not favored by Emperor Jian. Later, he took refuge with Zhu Di and rose to great heights, becoming an important minister.
But luck and misfortune depended on each other, and the time when he was proud was the time of his death.
During the Yongle period, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, understood Zhu Di's intention. After getting Xie Jin drunk, he stuffed him into a snowdrift and froze to death.
