The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival!
Zhu Youxiao could finally give himself a good day off. At this time, Zhu Youxiao was dressing up carefully in Qianqing Palace. He wanted to see how the people celebrated the Lantern Festival.
Zhu Youxiao is wearing a white robe, and coupled with his slightly white and tender skin, he looks very handsome. Coupled with a fan of Tang Bohu's, in one word, absolutely stunning!
"Wang Banban, what do you think of my dressing up?"
Wang Chao Fu Gong Shen said:
"Your Majesty is the purple star descending to earth, so he is the most beautiful man in the world!"
"I am not some purple star descending to earth!"
"Yes, yes, I am wrong. Your Majesty is the Ziweixing."
Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to argue with him. After cleaning up, he went straight to the harem. How could he go out alone? That was so boring!
"Is Qin'er ready?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, your Majesty is changing her clothes!"
Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, it was still very early, so he took a leisurely walk outside.
"Brother Royal, Brother Royal!"
Zhu Youxiao looked back and saw two little girls calling him loudly from a long distance away. These were his two sisters, one named Zhu Huiyan and the other named Zhu Huijing, both of whom were born to Concubine Fu Yi.
Zhu Youxiao likes his sister very much. Girls, no one has been loved since childhood, let alone a sister who is related to Zhu Youxiao by blood.
Zhu Youxiao quickly stepped forward and picked up one of them with one hand, and rubbed his forehead with theirs, making the two little girls extremely happy.
"My two royal sisters are here. Let my brother see if you have grown taller!"
The two sisters are only ten years old now. Although Zhu Youxiao is only seven years older than them, his body has become very strong due to the past few months of training, and his arm strength is also very strong due to practicing bow and arrow. Yes, there is no pressure at all when holding two small children.
"Brother Emperor, when are we leaving?"
It was rare that he had nothing to do today, so Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to spend some time with his younger siblings. He had been fighting with the civil servants since he ascended the throne, and he hadn't seen these younger siblings in several months.
"Well, we'll set off when Youjian and Huiti arrive!"
Although Emperor Taichang was only in his thirties, he gave birth to twenty children in his life. After so many years, only he and Zhu Youjian were left among the nine sons, and only three of the eleven princesses were left. , this is simply shocking, the palace is as deep as the sea.
Zhu Di, this is your fault again. You are happy to change the national policy, but your descendants will suffer terribly from you.
If you want to talk about which dynasty of princes lived the best, it may not be easy to rank, but if you want to talk about the worst, the Ming Dynasty surpassed them by far.
In the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, there was still a mother who was valued by her son, but the Ming Dynasty did not even have the capital to value the mother by her son. This aspect was vividly reflected in Zhu Changluo. As the eldest son of the emperor, he was the only legal heir to the Wanli Emperor. As a result, he had to live in the palace. He lived an ignoble existence, separated from his biological mother by a wall. He never saw his biological mother until his death, and even an eunuch dared to humiliate him at will.
Even with great righteousness and support from hundreds of officials, he is still like this, let alone those princes who are not qualified to inherit the throne. Unless the emperor likes you very much, no one will care about you in this palace, and you will die without knowing how. .
The lives of the princes are in danger, let alone the princesses. There is the Ming generation. As long as the Ming Dynasty princesses come to this world, they cannot even make a decision. According to statistics from later generations, the marriage rate of Ming Dynasty princesses is less than one-third, and many of them are He died of depression at a young age.
Emperor Wanli had a daughter who married a consumptive ghost. She died on the day of her wedding without even entering the bridal chamber. The princess became a widow on the day she got married and remained a virgin until her death.
Zhu Youxiao must change this normal situation. The dignified royal family members are, to put it mildly, worse than a dog. How can this be done?
"I have met Your Majesty!"
Concubine Fu Yi was also in a miserable state. She could be said to have gone through hardships with her father, but unfortunately she died just after she became the emperor, causing her current status to be very embarrassing.
Zhu Youxiao still sympathized with her. After he ascended the throne, he respected her as Concubine Yi, so she would not be bullied in the palace.
"Concubine Yi is my elder, so there is no need to salute. This makes me restless!"
"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I am just a woman. This gift is still required."
This means knowing the current affairs and not putting on airs. Even if Zhu Youxiao is not familiar with her, he will pay more attention to her.
"Have you listened carefully to your mother-in-law's words? Have you eaten and studied well?"
Zhu Huijing lowered her head and did not dare to say anything. Zhu Huiyan was one year older, so she was naturally more courageous, so she said weakly:
"Brother, the companion surnamed Li deducted money from my mother and concubine. When we were studying, my mother and concubine were not here, and they didn't warm us over the fire. He did it himself."
Zhu Youxiao didn't show any emotion after listening, but still smiled and made his two sisters happy.
"Brother Huang knows, this kind of thing won't happen in the future. From now on, the sixth sister and the seventh sister can warm themselves comfortably by the fire!"
Concubine Fu Yi quickly stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, children have nothing to say but your Majesty, just listen to it!"
"No matter what Concubine Yi said, Hui Jing and Hui Yan are still my sisters. Don't worry Concubine Yi, I will handle it well."
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he saw Concubine Li Kang coming towards her and said gently to his two sisters:
"Fifth brother and the others are here, go and pick up the fifth brother!"
"good!"
After the two children walked away, Wang Chaofu looked at Zhu Youxiao's slightly angry face and quickly took three steps forward and bowed to listen to the instructions.
"All the eunuchs and maids in Concubine Yi's palace were killed. As for the eunuch surnamed Li, since he likes to roast himself over the fire so much, let's hang him up and roast him!"
"Also, thoroughly investigate the people in each palace. If there are still such cases, they will all be killed. I want to see who is the master of this palace!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
"My younger brother (sister) has met your royal brother!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian and Zhu Huiti who were saluting him. It seemed that Li Kangfei taught these things well.
"Okay, you don't have to salute in the future. We are not outsiders. Brother Huang will take you out to have some fun today."
Zhu Youxiao took a deep look at his fifth brother Zhu Youjian. The controversial Emperor Chongzhen in later generations was still just an eleven-year-old boy with an immature face.
I hope that my time travel can change the fate of Ming Dynasty, and also your fate, so that you can be a prince who enjoys peace and wealth.
After Concubine Chun finished dressing up, Zhu Youxiao led his three sisters and one brother out of the palace.
Zhu Youxiao wants them to see how ordinary people live and celebrate the festival, especially Zhu Youjian, hoping that he can gain some insights and stop being fooled by the Donglin Party's Zhengyingchao.
Zhu Youxiao wanted to make this child's thoughts correct. The royal family did not need the so-called Confucian and Legalist masters, let alone saints.
Zhu Youxiao's family left the palace on foot, followed by more than twenty Yulin Army sergeants in disguise. Xu Xianchun led the Jinyi Guards to protect him secretly. Ma Xianglin was also transferred by Zhu Youxiao as a personal guard. After all, his own safety was still needed
A fierce person comes to protect you, so don't be careless at all.
