Although the position of Minister of Rites has been vacant since last year, there is still a Minister of Rites in the early morning session.
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people in the Ministry of Rites and turned his eyes: "Qin Tianjian."
Officials from Qin Tian Jian immediately left their duties and stood next to officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look at the civil and military train.
"Chinese Army Dudufu, Duchayuan, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple."
The emperor ordered four more yamen, each with its own officials on duty.
When hundreds of officials are confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang just explained: "All ministries and departments will prepare today, dispatch officials, and accompany the prince of Huaiyou County back to Zhongdu to worship the ancestors. Then there will be orders sent to the yamen of various ministries."
As soon as the emperor said this, there was another sudden movement in the court.
When the prince of Huaiyou County returned to Fengyang, the central capital, to worship the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian, and Taichang Temple went together. This is a reasonable thing.
After all, these three yamen are in charge of these things.
He also asked the three yamen of the Chinese Army Governor's Office, the Imperial Procuratorate, and the Guanglu Temple to accompany him, but it was a bit confusing to understand the deeper meaning.
The only thing that can be said is that there is only one Central Military Governor's Palace, and that is because the guard post in the Fengyang area of Zhongdu is under the control of the Central Military Governor's Palace.
However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the yamen that oversees all officials in the court and the affairs of the world.
Guanglu Temple is in charge of banquets.
He has nothing to do with the Duke of Huaiyou going to Fengyang to worship his ancestors.
It was just a matter decided by the emperor, and he said that there would be a decree later, so the officials of various ministries and yamen could only suppress their curiosity a little.
After Zhu Yuanzhang settled the matter, he glanced at Sun Gouer next to him.
Sun Gouer immediately stepped forward and shouted to retreat.
All officials bowed and resigned.
When all the officials left, Zhu Yuanzhang had already returned to the back hall and walked to the soft couch with a worried look on his face.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had fallen into a deep sleep with a calm expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Yu and Chang Sheng, after saluting the emperor, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want the prince to return to Fengyang after a certain period of time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the soft stool brought by Sun Gou'er, and his palms naturally rested on Zhu Yunxi's arms.
After hearing Lan Yu's question, she hummed and said nothing more.
Lan Yu continued in a low voice: "Weak ministers can recommend themselves to lead the troops to escort the prince back to Fengyang."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.
If it were for other matters, he could agree to this request, but when Zhu Yunxi returned to Fengyang, he could not bring Lan Yu with him.
He stood up, shook his head and said: "You are training the guards and horses in the capital for the coming expedition. It is not a big deal if I allow you to go. Fengyang is the land of our ancestors, and there is no evil spirit to cause trouble." As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked out of the back hall.
Lan Yu still wants to talk more.
At this time, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang speak again: "One of you is Yunxi's uncle, and the other is his second uncle, and they are both generals in the army. Stay here for us and wait for him to wake up."
Lan Yu was reluctant, but she still wanted to ask to accompany Zhu Yunxi to Fengyang, but Chang Sheng held her back.
He asked impatiently: "How?"
Chang Sheng chuckled: "Didn't you hear the Yamen that Your Majesty mentioned earlier?"
Lan Yu hummed: "So what? Last night Yunxi was entangled by evil spirits, and now His Majesty wants him to return to Fengyang. If I am not around to protect him, something will go wrong."
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at Lan Yu and said quietly: "What can happen if Yunxi returns to Fengyang? Besides, Duke Xin is in Fengyang, and there are many noble families in the court who are in Zhongdu. Who can let him?"
Something happened to Yunxi in the land of his ancestors in the Ming Dynasty?"
Lan Yu thought for a while and said in deep thought: "I have to talk to Zhongdu later."
Chang Sheng smiled, stopped talking, turned his head, and stared at the sleeping Zhu Yunxi with a worried expression.
……
"Big sister, Yunxi is getting older now and is becoming more and more stable. We often feel that we are really old now..."
"If you and Xiongying were still here, this child Yunxi would probably have a carefree life."
In the harem.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who returned from the previous court, went to the throne of Queen Ma that he had set up in the harem.
While chanting in a low voice, he lit a few sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner. Then he supported the confession, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked up at the queen's throne and portrait.
His face looked a little lonely and tired, which was completely different from the majesty he showed in front of his courtiers.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the portrait of the queen quietly and raised his hands, as if he wanted to touch his first wife who had been with him all his life.
"Hey..."
"Yunxi, this child, just learned to walk, and you left."
"Now this child is promising. He is getting more and more capable and has more and more ideas. He has accomplished several things in such a short period of time."
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands together as if chatting at home.
"Now, we have changed the title of a county to him, and he is the Prince of Huaiyou County, our hometown!"
"Do you think our idea is a good one?"
"In the past two days, this child has made great contributions, and we have given him the reward of entering the court to observe the government. Let's wait and see what happens when he learns more."
"You used to say that you shouldn't pamper your children too much. I'll listen to you and don't do things that would encourage others to thrive. Let nature take its course."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed, with a hint of gloom on his face.
He stared at the portrait of the queen, but said with dissatisfaction: "But last night, this child was entangled by evil spirits and stayed up all night. Today, his spirit is even more weak. We have listened to what you said, and my grandfather deserves it."
Not bad. As a grandmother, shouldn’t you also protect that child more?”
After finishing speaking as if he was angry, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand mockingly.
"Forget it, we can always defeat you. You must be enjoying happiness now, and we can't disturb your purity."
"Big sister, don't worry, we will take good care of the children."
"When Yunxi comes back from Fengyang this time, there will be something very happy. Let me give you a break first, and then I will tell you the good news later."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened again, he lowered his head and silently patted his thigh.
I don’t know when.
A call came from outside the hall.
"Grandpa, my grandson is awake."
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about something in his mind. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the portrait of the queen in surprise: "You must protect this child!"
After thinking this, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Yunxi inside.
After Zhu Yunxi walked in with some confusion in his heart, he came to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "My grandson meets grandpa."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the ground, moved his seat, pointed at the confession: "Give your grandma some incense sticks."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and obeyed, and respectfully burned incense and paid tribute.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang patted the ground beside him and said: "Sit down and let us talk to your grandma for a while."
Zhu Yunxi silently glanced at Queen Ma's portrait and sat cross-legged next to the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi, whose face had recovered some energy and blood after a good sleep, and said with a smile: "After a few more days of nursing, and my body and bones have recovered, I will go back to Fengyang to pay homage to our ancestors." p>
Zhu Yunxi nodded and pursed his lips lightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at the portrait of the queen, and said: "When we go back, let's see how long Tang and that old guy can live. They are so old that they are huddled in their hometown. They only come to see our old brother once a year." Zhu Yunxi laughed silently and nodded in agreement: "My grandson will definitely bring your grandfather's words to Lord Xinguo exactly as they are."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared, raised his hands and pretended to say: "You bastard, I'm looking for a beating!"
