Just for a moment, Zhu Gaochi had to admit that he thought of the figure of his second uncle and the figure of Brother Bing who might follow in his footsteps in the future.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but shudder.
"I am weak..."
He originally wanted to use the excuse of being weak and sick for many years to refuse the big pot that Zhu Yunxi might throw at him.
It's just that Zhu Yunxi didn't give him a chance to finish his words.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Queqing was still telling me that Concubine Hui was already calculating auspicious days, and she wanted to choose a day for me to get married according to the old man's wishes."
It turned out to be a wedding.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't let yourself become like the second uncle, everything will be fine and everything can be discussed.
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "It's time to get married. When my uncle was as old as you, Xiong..."
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Yes, when my father and I were this old, Brother Ying could already walk."
Zhu Gaochi's expression became a little gloomy.
Zhu Xiongying is the unmentionable sorrow of the clan.
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and waved his hands, and continued: "As you know, Duke Xin is currently living in Zhongdu, and Uncle Tang Wu is the only one in Beijing. So a few days ago, the old man gave Uncle Tang a house.
, when it comes time to get married, Queqing will start from the house in Beijing."
Zhu Gaochi shrank his head, thinking of a very bad thing.
Then, he hesitated in a low voice: "Then...Miss Mu's side..."
Everyone in the palace now knows that the little girl from the Xinguo Duke's mansion and the little girl from the Xipinghou mansion are both going to marry the grandson.
But until now, no one knows who is the grandson’s main concubine and who is the grandson’s side concubine.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Now that the Jiaozhi Road has been pacified, the Yunnan side has also taken the opportunity to wipe out the Lao tribe. The chieftains from Yunnan to the territory are now being squeezed from both sides, and the situation will probably become more and more stable. Therefore, the imperial court has issued an edict to the Marquis of Xiping.
After returning to Beijing and joining the Governor's Office, Yunnan Road will be handed over to Muchun."
The Marquis of Xiping is also returning to Beijing.
This is big news in Yingtian City.
Zhu Gaochi sighed silently in his heart.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi continued: "There is not enough time to choose a residence for the Marquis of Xiping when he returns to Beijing, so Caiyun will get on the sedan chair with Queqing in the name of Xinguo's righteous granddaughter."
This means treating everyone equally without distinction of priority.
However, Zhu Gaochi also became very curious: "So, who is the concubine?"
"It's Queqing." Zhu Yunxi replied calmly.
Zhu Gaochi immediately showed a strange look on his face, and then said: "Then you just..."
At this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly stretched out his hand, hooked Xiaopang's neck, and pulled the two of them together.
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows at the fat man: "I heard that Mu Sheng was going to escort the Marquis of Xiping back to the capital. I don't know what happened, but that guy seemed to have some objections to me. When the time comes to welcome the bride, in order to avoid being exposed to that
I'll beat you up, you have to be my best man. And not only Mu Sheng is here, Mu Ang will also come to Yingtian, and Mu Xin."
Zhu Gaochi immediately trembled, raised his hands to push Zhu Yunxi away, then leaned back, his face turned a little pale: "I can't do this, I can't resist beatings, and I'm afraid of pain. You have to ask Brother Bing for this matter
Son, he has thick skin and rough flesh to resist beatings."
Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands: "He is also the best man, but I heard that Mu Sheng is very brave, and with the brothers in his family, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it alone."
Zhu Gaochi began to shake his head repeatedly.
He had also heard of Mu Sheng's reputation.
The chieftains in Yunnan are so timid that they are even said to be knocked down by an elephant with just one fist.
Mu Sheng alone is very troublesome, and Mu Ang and Mu Xin are also coming to Yingtian City.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look down at his heavy belly.
"You might as well beat me to death now."
Zhu Gaochi held his head high, as if he was determined to fight to the death.
Zhu Yunxi snorted: "I heard from Uncle Twenty-Third that Concubine Hui is also choosing a date for you and Commander Zhang's daughter. She is right behind me. Don't blame me for leaving the martial arts hall when the time comes.
Find a group of people to go to the woman’s house.”
"This is a public weapon for private use!"
Zhu Gaochi was indignant.
Zhu Yunxi turned a deaf ear.
Finally, Zhu Gaochi's face softened and he muttered: "Then you have to allow me to wear armor..."
"Wear armor!"
Zhu Yunxi responded loudly and cheerfully, but looked at Xiaopang's eyes with a hint of regret.

"My mother once said that my daughter's wedding dress must be woven and embroidered stitch by stitch by myself. Although the fabrics in the palace are good, they are still not as good as those embroidered by yourself."
"Wear the phoenix robe made in the palace during the ceremony. When Your Highness enters the wedding room, you can see the wedding dress that I embroidered by myself."
"Your Highness should go to Sister Yun's room first. Don't be in a hurry. I'm waiting for you."
Nowadays, the East Palace is always peaceful. In the flower room next to the small garden, Tang Queqing is leaning over the embroidery table, stitch by stitch, embroidering the red wedding dress he wore in the wedding room for himself.
On the side is Mu Caiyun, who is also curled up in front of the embroidery desk, imitating Tang Queqing's example of embroidering her own wedding dress.
The sunshine is just right. Through the fine gauze in front of the greenhouse, the gentle sunlight makes the greenhouse look warm and peaceful.
Zhu Yunxi put his hands behind his back, leaned over and stretched out his face in front of Tang Queqing.
Seeing that the girl is so decent and gentle, she has already made arrangements for her wedding day.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said softly: "Why bother to separate them in order? Just go together."
"Yeah!"
Behind Zhu Yunxi, a sudden exclamation came out, and Mu Caiyun, who had actually been eavesdropping on the embroidered wedding dress, was already flushed with shyness, lowered his head and hugged the finger that was pricked by the needle.
Her face is shy, as spring as a peach face.
Time forms a thread and is scattered on the embroidered cloth. The fiery red satin and the blushing cheeks echo each other.
Looking at Tang Queqing again, his face was flushed, and he finally couldn't help but stretched out a pair of jade hands to gently push Zhu Yunxi, trying to push this free-spirited emperor away.
"Always every positive shape..."
Tang Queqing let out a sigh of relief.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Yunxi grabbed the hand he just stretched out, and gently held Tang Queqing's jade hands with a big hand.
Zhu Yunxi's face was full of sincerity, and he said righteously: "I can't treat one more favorably than another, and give priority to others. Under the dilemma, as long as this is the case, I will not treat any of you lightly."
Tang Queqing's heart was beating fast, his whole body was feeling hot, and he bit his cherry lips lightly: "You are being unreasonable."
"But absolutely fair!"
Zhu Yunxi stared and reiterated: "You all stay in the same wedding room waiting for me. I don't have to take off your red hijabs one after another. No one will be left behind."
Tang Queqing's heart almost melted. This gangster just wanted to stay with Sister Yun.
How do you say something like that?
It’s really embarrassing.
Tang Queqing had already buried his whole head into his chest that was about to explode.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and leaned into Tang Queqing's ear: "If you don't say anything, you agree."
Don’t be stingy!
"Go quickly, go quickly..."
Tang Queqing kept exerting force on his hands, but it caused waves in his chest.
When Zhu Yunxi wanted to continue teasing, the two little girls Cai Lian and Cai Die, who had followed him until now, had already arrived.
"Your Highness, the walking scholar of Wenhua Palace is here."
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Tang Queqing stood up suddenly, pushed him and went out.
"Master Jie must be here for state affairs. You'd better go there quickly."
After saying that, he pushed Zhu Yunxi outside the greenhouse without caring.
The other end.
Mu Caiyun, who was still shrinking into a ball, heard that Zhu Yunxi had left, and then he took a deep breath and raised his head.
The little girl blinked her black and white eyes and stared at Tang Queqing with a red face, who turned around with a look of helplessness.
The girl murmured in a low voice: "Actually, it's very good for Your Highness to do this..."
"Silly girl! What are you talking about!" Tang Queqing, who had just sent Hun Buqing away, immediately widened his eyes and sighed helplessly in his heart. After sending Hun Buqing away, another one who couldn't bear it came.
Yang Tian sighed.
Tang Queqing walked to Mu Caiyun, held the girl in his arms, shook her from side to side, and then began to teach her earnestly: "Girl, you must not be deceived by him. Our Highness, you are evil.
The most thoughtful thing is!"
"Is Your Highness bad?" Mu Caiyun raised her head and looked at Sister Qing behind her: "But several times... I heard you calling Your Highness a good person in the room..."
This...
Tang Queqing's face suddenly turned red again, burning hot.
She reached out and gently patted Mu Caiyun on the head.
"Silly girl! Don't wander outside in the middle of the night next time! If you're so sleepy, you must have heard wrong!"
Mu Caiyun said oh and lowered his head, but his eyes became more and more confused.
"I obviously heard it during the day..."
…………
The scorching sun poured into Yingtian City from Shenlie Mountain.
Under the cover of the mountains and trees, the sunlight is colorful and uneven.
The not yet warm sunshine broke away the thick fog in early summer, and the fog in the sky turned into dew.
Everything seems to have been freshly washed and full of life.
Just like the Ming Dynasty at this moment, it is just like its birth and full of vitality.
Officials of the Ming Dynasty had walked through the long crimson corridors of the palace again and again.
Under the glazed tiles, several sparrows stood on top of the animal heads, overlooking the birds and animals gradually entering the palace in the corridor.
The thick giant trees cut down from the mountains in the southwest were painted with layers of putty, base material, and red paint, forming a canopy of colored glaze.
There are many mountains and mountains, majestic and extraordinary.
Under the sunshine and mist, it looks like the Nine Palaces of Heaven.
And the palace maids under the corridor are the fairies under the rule of the Queen Mother.
Those eunuchs are the minor gods under the Jade Emperor.
As for the 26 soldiers and soldiers of the palace who stand like mountains and forests in the misty morning light, they are like the golden mountains, which are the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.
A day in the Ming Dynasty starts from now on.
If nothing major happens in the world, yesterday's steps will be repeated.
And in this nine-layered palace, the steps of tomorrow's world will also be determined.
"Your Majesty, the general who conquered the south and the founding Duke Chang Sheng has led his troops to occupy the city and attacked several cities. I would like to inform your majesty that the city was built on a road or merged into Jiaozhi Road. Please do it early.
Decision."
On the steps of the Majesty, Zhu Yunxi was wearing a red round-collared dragon robe with slanted lapels (made in the Ming Dynasty but not made by the emperor), a black gauze turban with folded corners facing up to the sky, a blue-bottomed red-faced inlaid with gold-edged jade belt around his waist, and black-soled white boots.
Xingchen, with his sword in his hand and his stern eyebrows, was calmly gazing at the court while unhurriedly parting his hands.
This is the ongoing work report and request for instructions from Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
After the Jiaozhi Road had been completely cleared, Chang Sheng did not rest for long. As soon as the Jingwei army came to Jiaozhi in turn, he began to continue his military strategy of going south to attack Champa.
The reason is simple.
Chen Hao, the former leader of the Chen Dynasty, could not be found. The Ming Dynasty suspected that he had fled into Champa and was hiding in Champa.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty needs to send people to find Chen Hao in Champa.
The leader of the Champa Kingdom showed a slight disobedience in front of the envoys from the higher country, which was extremely disrespectful.
Therefore, the General of the Ming Dynasty who conquered the south naturally wanted to send troops to conquer the city in order to maintain the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, with this news coming from Jiaozhi, I am afraid that the situation has changed from occupying several cities to capturing the entire city, or perhaps more than half of it.
How to deal with the aftermath and occupy the city has become the top priority.
On the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers in the palace, facing the sunshine outside the palace, a surge of pride grew out of his heart.
Just sitting in this canopy hall, the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty sent back the victory report from thousands of miles away.
The world.
At this moment, it’s like holding something in the palm of your hand.
"What do the six departments of government mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang handed over his opinions on how to deal with the occupied city to the ministers in the court. This was a court meeting.
There was a burst of whispers from the civil and military classes.
After a while, Ren Hengtai, the official minister, left his post and stood beside Zhan Hui.
"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you of a new expedition on the Jiaozhi Road. The Qing Dynasty Governor will be in charge of the road affairs, and the three divisions of Jiaozhi will be divided into three divisions. This is a waste of time and a new one. All the ministers are working in the border areas, managing and tranquilizing the people, and have made great achievements. p>
The Jiaozhi Road is not as large as the Twelve Roads in the Central Plains, and the same is true for the city. I believe that the entire city should be occupied along the Jiaozhi Road.
Moreover, the Enke career has been completed this year, and by then it will be enough to send new Ke officials south to serve as Jiaozhi Road's current deputy, and to smooth over Jiaozhi Road."
On the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently.
And occupying the city and entering the Jiaozhi Road was also his plan in mind.
The unification of the newly conquered areas will make it easier for the court to manage, and the combined area of Jiaozhi and Champa City is not large. If the two places are added together, they can roughly cover the area of Huguang Road.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still lowered his head and looked at Zhu Biao on the steps.
"What do you mean, Prince?"
Zhu Biao immediately turned around and bowed to the old man: "I believe that what you have said is feasible."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and said in a deep voice: "Cake the city and do what you want."
In the Huagai Hall, all the officials bowed.
"I obey the order."
Several matters have been discussed in the court, but Zhu Yunxi remained silent until now. He turned around, bowed his hands, and said, "I have something to report."
Zhu Yuanzhang twitched his eyebrows and said loudly: "It's accurate."
"I will report the incident in the Jiulongjiang Plain in southern Xinjiang." Zhu Yunxi spoke slowly.
Jiulong River is the name of the Mekong River on the Jiaozhi Road.
And the Jiulong River Plain is the Mekong River Plain that has made him salivate for a long time.
Jiulongjiang is a place rarely heard of in the Ming Dynasty in the past.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Yunxi said this, all the officials in the palace pricked up their ears.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "The imperial court has now established the Jiaozhi Road, and the city will be captured within a few days. The entire southern coast is under the control of the Ming Dynasty. However, in the Jiulongjiang Plain, there are no less fertile lands than Huguang, Zhili, and Jiangxi.<
/p>
I believe that the Jiulongjiang Plain can be described as a desolate and barbaric land. Although there are a few vassals belonging to our Ming Dynasty, they are not enough to teach the king of Mu Zhongyuan.
The general who conquered the south was ordered to wait until the occupation of the city was completed, send his troops to the west, divide the Jiulongjiang Plain into two Ming Dynasty roads, and move the official office of Jiaozhi Road to continue the strategy of new conquests and appeasement in the two roads of the Jiulongjiang Plain."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi silently took a step back and looked sideways at the civil servants in the court.
Jiaozhi Road was originally used to replace the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty.
With the new conquest of the city and the construction of Ming civilian ships headed by Zhongshan Palace, the land and interests in the south have naturally attracted the attention of these civil servants.
Just like dry wood meeting fire, everything about the transaction was reached silently and tacitly.
No one will have trouble with money and food.
A Jiulongjiang plain comparable to Huguang, Zhili, and Jiangxi is enough to make these people abandon the so-called inherent characteristics of the Central Plains.
Where does it come from?
The whole world has been Handi since ancient times!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled silently, this boy could always make the right request at the right time.
He silently looked at the courtiers in the palace and said softly: "You think..."
"I second the proposal."
Before the emperor could finish his words, all the officials had already bowed their hands and shouted in agreement.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and raised his hand: "Let's draft a decree to Jiaozhi Road to Qinghua, the governor's palace, and the southern expeditionary army."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave his precious grandson a look of approval and encouragement.
At this time.
But Zhu Yunxi just started to realize his true intention.
He turned around again and said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you again, there's a new campaign on the Jiaozhi Road, a new campaign on the city, and the Jiulong River Plain is waiting for a campaign. All three places are natives. Without me, the Ming Dynasty can't be called a Ming Dynasty. I invite you
Your Majesty issued a decree to conquer and relocate the people from Zhili and other places, settle in the three newly conquered places, fill up the people of our dynasty, spend generations to farm, and solidify our territory of the Ming Dynasty."
This is weird.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, the officials in the court became alert.
Originally, the relocation of people to places such as Jiaozhi Road was indeed discussed by various ministries and yamen in the court, but this matter will not be carried out until the south is completely stabilized.
Moreover, most of the people who migrate are led by people from the southeast and other places. After all, the distance is closer, so there is no need to worry that the relocated people will not be accustomed to the climate in places such as Jiaozhi Road.
It is rare to relocate people directly from Zhili.
After all, from ancient times to the present, wealthy families from all over the world have migrated to settle in the best place in Gyeonggi.
Where is the matter of relocating the people from the Gyeonggi area?
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then glanced across the hall.
"From the third level of court discussion."
In the Huagai Hall, curiosity has broken through the roof of the hall and shattered countless glazed tiles.
However, from a court meeting to a court meeting, His Majesty the Emperor also stipulated that only people of third rank or above can participate, directly expelling most of the officials in the palace from the scope of the court meeting.
Unqualified officials can only bow respectfully and silently retreat from the palace.
After leaving the hall, many people turned back and looked affectionately into the Huagai Hall.
At this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded in the hearts of countless people at the same time.
When you are an official, you must be a court councilor!
