Lu's move to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce seemed simple, but in this era, she condescended to talk to businessmen as a princess.
He even has to say flattery.
In today's context, this can be said to be completely disrespectful of dignity.
When the news reached Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen lowered his head slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.
But Lu didn't care about this.
She knew very well that once she went to Champa to join the feudal clan, there was basically no possibility of returning to the capital.
The return here refers to herself.
If this is the case, it is natural to gain enough benefits.
And this matter was soon known to Lu's father.
The next day, he came to the door.
After sighing softly, he said: "I will let you go to Champa. At least I can help you."
When Mrs. Lu heard this sentence, her throat was a little choked.
He did not expect that a person like his father would be willing to abandon the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and follow him to that barren land at this most critical time.
Nowadays, with the reform of official salaries, my father rarely asks for money from himself.
You must also know that Lu's father is currently the head of the Ministry of Etiquette of the sixth rank, and his life in the capital is not only extremely superior, but also more respectable.
The affairs of the Ministry of Etiquette are also quite relaxed, and they are relatively leisurely on weekdays.
Such a good life could not be better, and going to the uncivilized barbarian land to fight hard, Lu was deeply moved.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this." Lu said softly.
Father Lu shook his head: "In this capital, although we don't interact much and don't see each other a few times throughout the year, on weekdays, you are my concern."
"If you leave, my father in this huge capital will no longer have any relatives."
"A place with loved ones is home."
"Without you, what's the use of me staying here alone to die alone."
"In my life as a father, I lived a bad life in the early years, but in the end, I was not as good as I was before, but more than I was before."
"This is the time when places like Champa are in need of manpower. Among other things, my father is quite familiar with the etiquette system. I think he can help a lot."
When Lu's father said these words, Lu suddenly realized.
It turned out that her father's hair had turned gray long ago. Only then did Lu remember that his father was already sixty years old.
Lu was able to marry Prince Zhu Biao.
In fact, it was not because of Lu's father. At that time, Lu's father only cared about the gambling house every day. It was Lu's grandfather who tried every means to establish a relationship, and because of Lu's natural beauty, he was proud to be selected as the crown prince's concubine.
On the day Grandpa Lu passed away, his father was still in the gambling shop, and he didn't find out until he turned around the next day.
Because he was a relative of the emperor, such a shameful matter was kept secret.
From that moment on, Mrs. Lu had a big opinion on Father Lu.
I can't say I hate him, but I don't really want to see him again.
Until today, now.
This knot is finally resolved.
He is his father after all.
Some memories from my childhood gradually came to mind.
That was before his father became addicted to gambling, and it was Lu's complete and happy childhood.
Riding on his father's neck and leaning on his broad chest.
My father rocked the swing for himself.
Beautiful clothes and exquisite hairpins.
Smiling with her mother.
"father."
There was a hint of guilt in Lu's voice.
Only then did she remember that since she entered the palace, she almost never really visited her father.
Even the most recent Zhengdan festival last year.
How does a father spend his time at home alone?
In the imperial court, some things are not secrets, so even though they are relatives of the emperor, the relationship between Father Lu and his colleagues is not very good, and most of them are looked down upon by others.
Ms. Lu knew these things well, but the resentment in her heart made her never intervene.
The head of the etiquette department of the sixth grade sounds good, but in fact he has no power and is no different from Qingshui Yamen.
Father Lu's eyes suddenly became moist when he heard this sincere voice.
He knew that his daughter had finally forgiven him.
Looking at my daughter's temples, there are already some gray hairs.
I am getting older and my daughter is getting older too.
...
When the news about Lu came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he happened to be talking to Dasun about the law.
He also knew that with Lu's current status, it was extremely rare to go to a businessman to plead for mercy in person.
Then he said to the eldest grandson: "She is also a hard-working person. We also understand that you did not feel sorry for her. Yun Wen also took good care of her."
"Just go and say something to the Chamber of Commerce. If you can help, then lend a hand."
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang still understood the Lu family very well.
The thing that made Zhu Yuanzhang feel most comfortable about his eldest grandson was that he never felt sorry for Lu after entering the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang can understand his daughter-in-law very well. She really loves her boss very much.
When the boss went there, the eunuchs under his command had reported that Lu had thought of being buried with him.
I just gave up in the end.
Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.
One year before Zhu Biao's death, in August of the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, his and Zhu Biao's third son was born, named Zhu Yunxi.
Therefore, when Zhu Biao passed away, Zhu Yunxi was not yet one year old.
However, the ending of Zhu Yunxi in history was not very good.
He was originally named King Xu.
After Zhu Di seized the throne of emperor, he was demoted to King Fu Hui and lived with the Lu family in the tomb of Prince Yiwen.
Two years later, he was renamed King Ouning and was enshrined by Prince Yiwen.
Two years later, there was a fire in the mansion, and he was burned to death at the age of sixteen. He was given the posthumous title of Mouijian.
There is nothing to think about such things as burning down the mansion and dying.
Of course, that fire also burned Lu to death.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually still likes his daughter-in-law very much.
No matter from any aspect, Lu's virtuousness can be said to be impeccable.
Zhu Yunxi did not receive any teachings from famous teachers during his confinement, and it was naturally impossible for Zhu Di to arrange any teachers for him.
Even with Lu's personal guidance, Zhu Yunxi, who grew up, was still extremely talented, personable, and very knowledgeable about politics.
This also made Zhu Di jealous.
At this time, Zhu Di had been on the throne for four years and inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's character. Zhu Di was also extremely suspicious and suspicious.
And the throne is not yet stable.
As long as there is any possibility of involving the throne, Zhu Di will definitely be ruthless.
If you can't kill him openly, you can only do it secretly.
But things have changed in this world.
Zhu Ying's return has put the Ming Dynasty's inheritance in order, and naturally these things will not happen.
Hearing what the old man said, Zhu Ying felt a little emotional.
In terms of status, Zhu Ying should be on the opposite side of Lu.
In fact, when she first entered the palace, Zhu Ying was somewhat repelled by the Lu family.
He was waiting for Lu's move in his heart.
However, until now, Lu has never slandered herself anywhere or even in any words.
Zhu Ying then understood that she was overthinking it.
It wasn't until I saw Lu for the first time that I understood why she could be recognized by the old man after Chang and became the crown prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen anyone in his life who can be recognized by his daughter-in-law, especially his eldest son's daughter-in-law.
It must have gone through rigorous inspection.
Character, morality, character, and even talent and learning are all under long-term surveillance.
This does not mean after Chang's death.
But it has been recorded since Lu entered the palace.
Otherwise, the Lu family, whose natal family is weak in power, would never be able to be corrected.
In the early Ming Dynasty, all the wives of princes and grandsons were well-matched.
Only the Lu family is so special, and she is also a crown princess.
"Grandpa, don't worry, there will be arrangements for your grandson."
Zhu Ying answered.
Originally, Zhu Yunwen was asked to capture the city, but Zhu Ying also wanted to take care of him.
For this half-brother, who had only been emperor for two years in history, Zhu Ying did not reject him so much, or had to do anything against him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled when he heard this.
Several similar words come to mind.
"Father, please rest assured, I will make arrangements for you."
This is a sentence that Zhu Biao, the eldest son, often said after he participated in government affairs.
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"That's it for today. We are a little tired. As for the torture to extract confessions in the law, Dasun will just take care of it himself."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and stood up.
It's just after lunch, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself has the habit of taking a nap. After all, he gets up early every day, so he needs to get enough sleep to maintain his energy.
Zhu Ying hurried over to help him.
He is not very used to taking naps.
When you are in your twenties, you have the most energy. It is hard to sleep even in summer, let alone spring.
Without reviewing the memorial.
Zhu Ying would talk to Zhu Yuanzhang a lot about governance.
Such as people's livelihood, economy, sergeants, officials, etc.
What we are talking about today are the provisions in the law related to torture to extract confessions.
Today's officialdom is different from that of later generations. For anyone involved in an incident, torture and extortion of confessions is commonplace. This is why people are extremely afraid of going to court.
Regardless of whether they are guilty or not guilty, as long as they enter the cell, they will have to shed their skin before they can come out.
The abuse of torture is already a common phenomenon.
Zhu Ying's intention was naturally not to abolish torture to extract confessions, but to establish a scope for it, that is, a watershed.
It must reach a certain level before torture can be used to extract confessions.
At least in ordinary civil disputes, these phenomena cannot occur.
This is also a current curb on the power of officials.
It won't be like a bunch of local emperors will appear.
After sending the old man to the palace, Zhu Ying stayed with him until he fell asleep before leaving.
When she returned to Kunning Palace, Ye Yueqing had already fallen asleep holding Xiao Yuting.
Seeing her mother and daughter sleeping soundly, Zhu Ying felt extremely warm in her heart.
The daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket.
Different from people's ideas nowadays, I love my daughter Zhu Ying very much.
Even though Xiao Yuting is only a few months old, she is also very attached to Zhu Ying. Whenever she sees Zhu Ying when she wakes up, her two chubby little hands will reach out, yi yi ya, just want to
hug.
After walking out of the house, Zhu Ying listened to some reports on daily affairs by eunuch Guo Zhong.
As a grandson, Bai Jian had to deal with a lot of things and couldn't be with him all the time, so Guo Zhong would relay some things.
After Zhu Ying heard this, he said: "In recent spring, the weather has been hot and cold, and we are most susceptible to wind and cold."
"When giving Xiao Yuting a bath, be sure to boil the hot water around her. Only when it is hot can you take a bath."
"After bathing, don't leave the house immediately. Wait until your hair is dry and your body is stable."
Because she was worried about bathing in winter, when she was boiling a large tank of water, Zhu Ying simply ordered people to build two sauna-like rooms.
One is for the old man, and the other is for Ye Yueqing and his wife.
However, because it is more comfortable, bathing in the palace in winter is also a problem.
So we simply built more.
Including concubines in the harem and young emperor's grandchildren can also get this convenience.
Bathing in winter is a very troublesome problem, especially for long hair, which is difficult to dry.
And sleeping with wet hair is obviously not very good.
Therefore, after enjoying Zhu Ying's method, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied and named it "Steaming Hall".
It is spring now, when wind and cold are extremely prevalent, and Xiao Yuting and Ye Yueqing are weak at the moment, so Zhu Ying gave special instructions.
Even though he had to spend a lot of thought on state affairs every day, Zhu Ying would still find time to consider the health of the old man and Ye Yueqing.
"Please rest assured, young master, these old slaves have always kept this in mind, and there will definitely be no mishaps."
Guo Zhong said quickly.
Even for the eunuchs and maids, when the steam room was built, a large one was specially built for the use of the maids and eunuchs.
Just this little favor made the entire palace's eunuchs and maids extremely moved.
People's hearts are sometimes so simple.
When you have them in your heart, you will naturally be grateful to you.
Even as a grandson, Zhu Ying never looked down upon the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
To a large extent, these eunuchs and maidens were an important manifestation of maintaining the entire court. They were not only the eyes and ears, but also an extremely important extension of the imperial power.
For example, the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian in Ming Dynasty history, no matter how powerful he was, he was still dependent on the imperial power.
Even though he controls the life and death of most officials, he cannot resist an edict.
If it can be truly used for one's own use, it will naturally allow the imperial power to be executed more smoothly.
The Twenty-Fourth Prison of the Ming Dynasty is also an extremely important place.
The eunuchs have always been responsible for keeping the Gunpowder Department secret, and the key core members there.
Whether it is the current steam room or the previous salary reform, Zhu Ying did not particularly abandon eunuchs and maids. This is why many officials feel that the power of today's grandson is not much different from that of His Majesty.
Zhu Ying pays great attention to details in controlling all aspects.
This is why even when policies that touch the interests of officials are promulgated, it is difficult for officials to confront Zhu Ying.

Shortly after Zhu Ying returned to the main hall of Kunning Palace after her explanation, she received information from the grassland.
