Before Yunxi could take a closer look, he looked at the words and then smiled and said: "This man is also from Jingwei. Grandpa thinks his name is Qin Song, and he is the younger brother of Qin Nan, my bodyguard. This man has always been smart, and he is good at everything.
Tohru, you rarely see him reading in the classroom, but his grades have always been very good, and his skills in archery, horsemanship, and martial arts are also good. But for some reason, this man has no interest in being an official, and he doesn't want to be famous. He just wants to give advice to people behind their backs.
"
Lao Zhu said: "It's indeed strange. But isn't it good? When you take the throne, the current ministers of Zhan Shifu will have to arrange for them to come to the court. This is not something you can stop. There is such a person who has always been your staff.
,Not bad."
Yunxi replied: "What grandpa said is true. It's just that this person is also afraid of trouble and may not be willing to serve as my staff. The Qin family already has Qin Nan as a guard by my side, so he can maintain his wealth for a long time. This person
I don’t want to be someone who works tirelessly for fame and fortune.”
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "That's easy. You don't have to tell him personally. He always has parents. Tell your guard Qin Nan what you mean, and their family members will naturally help you with everything."
Yunxi thought about it, Lao Zhu's idea was really good, and said sincerely: "Grandpa's brilliant idea."
Lao Zhu laughed.
Next, the two of them commented on other people. Guo Wei and his school became the school for top students, and all six people were mentioned; Lao Zhu asked about the rankings of more than 20 people from the Duke's family and their performance in the martial arts hall.
how.
Yunxi said: "Lan Lian, Cao Xing's performance is very good, Feng Yuan, Fu, Chang Jixu (Chang Sen's eldest son) are also good. Although the others are not outstanding, they are all good." Fu Youde has been eliminated.
, his children can no longer be used by Yunxi's generation anyway, so there is no need to say anything.
Lao Zhu didn't care and said: "It seems that the tutors in the feudal families of Ming Dynasty are pretty good now."
He also said: "Yunxi, for the descendants of these founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, we must both suppress and use them. Even if these generals teach seriously in the martial arts hall, they are not as good as the precepts and deeds they give to their family members. As long as they are willing to make progress and are not stupid,
They are probably better than these people who come out from below. Those who come out from below can’t do it without taking a walk on the battlefield."
"But because they already have power, if they use too much emphasis, the military will be unstable. It's not easy to figure out how to handle it. Grandpa won't be able to explain it for a while. I have taught you some things before. What happens next?
I'll teach you when the matter is over." Yunxi promised.
Then the conversation between the two men ended here for the time being. Yunxi returned to Wenhua Hall and sent someone to call Qin Nan over and said: "Your brother Qin Song scored well in the exam this time. He only got five points in the martial arts class, but still
Ranked twenty-two, which is really good.”
Qin Nan was of course happy for his younger brother. Although he was a guard and someone close to the prince, he was not someone who was valued. If his younger brother was favored by His Highness the Grand Sun, then the future of the Qin family would be bright.
However, Qin Nan was not immersed in his own thoughts and replied: "Your Highness is ridiculous. My younger brother has always been naughty, but he was taught better by the teacher from the martial arts hall."
Yunxi said: "Your Majesty wants to appoint Geng Xuan as an official of the Shanse Capital Command and Envoy Department. Guo Zhen was promoted to You Shuzi, and Zhang Shu was promoted to You Yude. This left an official position of You Praise for Goodness. I want to appoint Qin Song as You Praise for Goodness."
,how do you feel?"
Qin Nan was overjoyed! He saluted and said, "Your Highness thinks that my younger brother Qin Song has the ability to be an official in the East Palace. It is a blessing to my family. How can you feel bad?"
Yunxi said: "Then you go back and talk to Qin Song. The official position can't be vacated for a while, and it won't be until after the New Year. But I think Qin Song is a great talent. It would be nice if I could see him in a few days.
."
If you are someone who talks to Yunxi a lot, such as Qi Tai, Lian Zining, etc., you will definitely find that this is not Yunxi's usual way of speaking at all; but Qin Nan rarely talks to Yunxi, and secondly, he has been overcome by joy.
I lost my mind and just agreed.
So Qin Nan replied excitedly: "I will tell Qin Song immediately when I get off work today."
Yunxi nodded with satisfaction.
In the next few days, Yunxi selected some students to speak alone. Needless to say, most of them were at the top of the list, and only a quarter of the students were in the bottom half.
All the people who were drawn were very excited to see Yunxi. Some people had not said a word to Yunxi for two years. This can be said to be their first and probably only time to talk to Yunxi alone. How could they
Not excited?
In the past two years, Yunxi has perfected his facial expressions. His attitude towards everyone is the same, and he can pick up on the words even if they are incoherent. In addition, the time is not long, and each person only has time to burn a stick of incense at most.
Yunxi was able to pretend, so everyone who met Yunxi was very moved.
But there was a person named Yunxi who valued him so much, and he was not moved. On the morning of the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Song reluctantly came to the Wenhua Hall.
At this time, Yunxi was not in Wenhua Hall.
Lao Zhu attaches great importance to family ties. Yunxi rarely sees his uncles and brothers throughout the year. However, Lao Zhu is much busier than Yunxi, but he sees several of his children and grandchildren every month.
It's the twelfth lunar month, and Yunxi felt that he had to spend some time with his uncles and brothers, so he came out to socialize today.
Now Yunxi is in the house of Min King Zhu Pian. Also present are Zhu Yuanzhang's nineteenth son, King of Valley Zhu Lu, and twentieth son of Han Wang Zhu Song, as well as Jin Shizi Ji Xi and Yan Shizi Gao Chi. Yunxi and Ji
Xi Gaochi is a junior, but they are all older than Zhu Su, Zhu Song and Zhu Lu.
The reason why Yunxi came to socialize with them was because they all performed relatively well on weekdays, and Yunxi thought they could make friends with them. Moreover, both Zhu Su and Zhu Zhen had already been crowned kings and would be crowned kings next year, especially the 18th
His son Zhu Chu was sent to Yunnan, and Zhu Su was also in the Xuan Mansion, so Yunxi naturally wanted to make many friends.
As for Jixi and Gao Chi, first of all, they were the heirs and relatively capable, and they were also the targets of Yunxi's street corner. If it weren't for the poor relationship between Shang Bing and Zhu Su, Yunxi would have planned to bring Shang Bing over.
Although it was morning, it was nice for the 'family' to drink tea and chat together. The focus of Yunxi was Zhu Qi, so after chatting for a while, he casually said: "Uncle Minwang, next year you will become a vassal."
Yunnan is no different than the Central Plains, and there are more Yi people than Han people. Does Prince Min have any rules for guarding Yunnan?"
After listening to Yunxi's words, everyone knew that they were talking about "indecent and serious topics", so they all stopped talking and listened to Yunxi's words.
Zhu Ming smiled and said: "What kind of regulations can I have? I have never been to Yunnan, and I never thought I would go to Yunnan. I am completely blind. I will wait until I get to Kunming and discuss it with Muchun."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Yunnan has a complex terrain and a lot of gold and silver. It is very important. Uncle Min Wang has a heavy responsibility to guard Yunnan."
Zhu Ming seemed to have remembered something at this time and said: "My father summoned me two days ago and said that he would wait until next year to ask all the chieftains to establish Confucianism and send students from various prefectural and county schools to teach Confucianism to the locals."
Yunxi smiled and said nothing. If the establishment of Confucianism had been useful, there would not have been these barbarians long before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ming seemed to understand that this was just a better-than-nothing solution, so he just said a word.
Yunxi said: "Uncle King Min, I think when you arrive in Yunnan, you should not just stay in Kunming. For those Yi tribes who are respectful to the Ming Dynasty, it is best to visit their tribes, especially the Xuanwei Division in Myanmar. .The locals don’t have much sense of superiority and inferiority. Uncle Min Wang must be able to put down his arrogance, meet with local tribal leaders more often, and observe for himself what they need.”
"Of course, we cannot just show favors. We must also attack those who deserve to be attacked. It is especially strictly forbidden for the various tribes that submitted to the Ming Dynasty to rebel or attack each other. Whoever dares to take the lead will be beaten."
Zhu Xi listened carefully. Yun Xi's explanation was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation in some aspects, but also different in some aspects. Zhu Xi had to see whether Yun Xi's or Lao Zhu's was better.
Not only Zhu Min listened carefully, but Zhu Su also listened. Yunxi explained so carefully, did he want to seal the title of King Min? Yunxi's strategy of "imitating the Zhou Dynasty" has not been mentioned in the past two years, but It doesn't mean that they have forgotten it.
Zhu Ming said: "You said it so carefully, you really put your heart into it. Thank you, uncle."
Yunxi said: "It's nothing."
Then Yunxi had a detailed chat with Gao Chi and Ji Xi about the customs and customs of Beiping and Shanse. He will travel to the north next year to understand in advance the differences between what he knows there and what he knows.
The morning passed quickly, and Zhu Chun greeted him for dinner. When he arrived at the dinner table, Zhu Chun pointed to a dish and said: "Yunxi, since I ate your braised pig meat at Wenhua Palace last time, I never forget it. Later, I called the cook from your Wenhua Palace to my palace, Prince Min, and I asked my cook to imitate it again and again. Now it tastes delicious. Try it and see if it is different from the one from your Wenhua Palace."
Before Yunxi could answer, Gao Chi said: "Braised pork? I ate it at Wenhua Palace last time. It was so delicious that I wanted to try it too." He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and put it on his own. Then he ate it again and said, "Not bad, very good."
Yunxi also smiled and picked up a piece of meat and ate it in his mouth. Yunxi actually likes beef the most. Of course, it’s not that he was a Hui in his previous life, but he really thinks beef is more delicious, whether it is braised beef or beef stew. I also like steak.
However, in this life, the slaughter of farm cattle is not allowed. Only old cattle can be killed for meat. Zhu Yuanzhang set an example for the world, so he does not eat beef on weekdays, and even Yunxi cannot eat it. Among the remaining mutton and pork, Yunxi prefers to eat pork and eats more pork. He also consulted the new chef of Wenhua Palace to research and came up with braised pork.
Yunxi ate a piece of meat and said with a smile: "Well, not bad, it tastes better to me than what my cook cooks. Uncle Min Wang, why don't we switch cooks?"
Zhu Ming smiled and said: "That's not possible! It's so hard for me to have a good cook, how can I give it to you? I want to bring him to Kunming. I have already made an agreement with the cook."
Ji Xi smiled and said, "You bring such a cook, Uncle Wang, to Kunming. It's really, I don't even know what to say."
Gao Chi picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing it whole, he said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, you don't need to think of any way to subdue the barbarians. Just ask the cook to make braised pork."
Zhu Ming laughed and said, "Then I can't bear it. What if they want my cook?" Everyone laughed.
Zhu Ming pointed to another plate of meat and said: "This is the meat of the old cow that was just slaughtered by Yingtian Mansion. You like to eat beef. Last time the 19th brother's Prince Gu's Mansion served you beef, you almost ate the whole plate.
Come on. There are three kilograms of beef today, enough for you to eat." Everyone laughed again.
After lunch, they chatted and laughed for a while, and Yunxi said: "I still have something to do, so I won't stay with you. We will talk when we are free."
Several people knew about his situation and just said: "We'll talk about it another time." They didn't try to stay. As the master, Zhu Xi sent Yunxi out.
