After explaining the matter, Yunxi started to talk about other things. "Chang Jichang, as the son of the prince, how can you treat ordinary people like this? Didn't Chang Sheng teach you how to treat others?"
"Although my father has asked me to treat people, it is not used to treat these ordinary people." Chang Jichang replied in his heart. Of course, he did not dare to say such words. Yunxi has always been very kind to the people, so
If he asks the nobles like this, if he says what he said just now, he will definitely be punished extremely severely. Although the emperor usually treats nobles and ministers very kindly, he is also merciless when he attacks.
"Your Majesty, this villain has made a mistake. Please punish him." Chang Jichang admitted his mistake very sincerely.
"You can call yourself a minister in front of me, don't call yourself a villain." Yunxi frowned. Descendants of top noble families like the Chang family can basically get a hereditary future in their teens, even if they are just doing it for money.
On errands. Yunxi had too many things to do in the past few years, and sent troops to fight several times, so it was difficult to change this rule, so Chang Jichang could call himself a minister when facing him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order." Chang Jichang said quickly.
Yun He scolded him a few more words, took him back to the carriage, and said to the servants: "Since we are all relatives, compensation is not necessary, but you must be careful in the future and don't be careless like today."
"In addition, you must be polite when dealing with others. Except for this child I saw just now," he pointed to the person who just apologized to the coachman, "no one apologized to my coachman. Please note that since you are servants of Zheng Guogong's palace,
It represents the face of Duke Zheng’s government! You are so rude to others, and it is not your own reputation that is harmed, but the reputation of Duke Zheng’s government!”
"The reputation of noble families has been ruined little by little by people like you! As servants of Duke Zheng's palace, I cannot punish you. Jichang, when you see your father later, you must tell him
Let him punish these people for this matter!"
"Yes, cousin." Chang Jichang hurriedly agreed.
The servants were a little unconvinced: "You are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to control those of us who belong to the Duke of Zheng!" But this man dared to reprimand Chang Jichang in person and was rude to them. He was probably a man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Duke of Zheng.
They were members of a noble family and were very familiar with the master of the house. If they contradicted him, the consequences would be very tragic, so they did not dare to speak and could only complain in their hearts.
After Yunxi finished arranging the treatment of these impolite servants, he turned to the child who had just apologized to the coachman and said kindly: "You are very polite at a young age and are very polite to others. It is really rare. What is your name?
Name? I asked Master Chang to reward you."
The child was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the side. Yunxi looked up and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar running over in a hurry. Seeing Yunxi talking to the child, he thought it was
What mistake did the boy make? He hurriedly saluted Yunxi and said: "Sir, this boy is a dog. If the dog has done something wrong, please don't be too harsh. I will apologize to you on my behalf. If you need compensation,
Someone is willing to compensate.”
"This is your son's mistake, why did you stop him?" Yunxi didn't speak to him immediately, but asked instead.
"Sir, it is said that a son's failure to teach is the fault of his father. Quanzi is only eight years old this year. If he makes any mistakes, it is because he did not teach his son well. How can he be excused?"
"Isn't there another saying called 'Teacher who is not strict in teaching is lazy'?" Yunxi said with a smile.
The middle-aged scholar didn't know what Yunxi was laughing at, but he still answered meticulously: "To be honest, sir, Quanzi was taught by a certain person himself and did not ask the teacher to teach him, so it is because of a certain person that he did not treat his son well."
"You're not bad." Yunxi said with a smile. When most people make a mistake, their son will say something like, "He is still young and ignorant, please forgive him." They rarely put the blame on themselves.
"What's your name? What is the Duke of Zheng doing now?" he asked again.
The middle-aged scholar thought this man was very strange: "Why did he ask what he was doing in Zheng Guogong's mansion?" But there seemed to be an unquestionable tone in this man's words, which made him couldn't help but answer: "A certain person's name is Yu Xu."
"Your name is Yu Xu? Then could your son be called Yu Qian?" Yunxi suddenly said.
"How does the young master know the name of Quanzi?" Yu Xu said with some surprise.
But Yunxi didn't care about his words anymore. He turned around and looked Yu Qian up and down seriously. He saw that this little boy's eyes were clear and his facial features were straight. At first glance, he was a lovable child.
"That's right, that's right." Yunxi said two "yes" words in a row, and then said to Xu: "Don't worry, your son did not make a mistake, but did something good, and I am going to reward him."
Yu Xu breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, his son did not make any mistakes. This young man seemed to come from a wealthy family, and he also saw Chang Jichang, the eighth young man of the Chang family, standing beside him obediently like his master's dog.
Knowing that this person's identity must be extremely valuable, he may even be a prince. If his son makes a mistake, he will not forgive him. It is not easy to understand the matter.
"Young master, there is no need for a reward. Since the dog has not made any mistakes, I will take the dog back and say goodbye to the master." He added.
Yun He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his heart moved and he swallowed the words that came to his lips and just agreed.
"You all should go back too. Jichang, remember what your cousin told you to say to Mr. Chang." He then said to the other servants of the Chang Mansion and Chang Jichang.
These servants hurriedly bowed and followed Chang Jichang away.
Yunxi didn't pay attention to these servants and Chang Jichang, but stared at the backs of Yu Xu and his son, and whispered: "Depending on your performance today, I will definitely recruit you. You can't escape my grasp.
"He then gave a few instructions to a guard, and the guard took the order and walked towards Chang's Mansion.
At this time, the coachman had calmed the frightened horses and put the reins on them again. Yunxi also got on the carriage. The coachman flicked the whip in his hand, and the two horses screamed and started moving towards the palace again.
"Dad, you took advantage." Min'er said with a smile as soon as he got on the carriage: "Min'er remembers that the people in my grandmother's family with the word 'step' in their names are all the same generation as dad, but dad claims to be
That person's cousin just now is a generation older than him."
"Dad didn't mean to take advantage of him." Yunxi said with a smile: "Dad didn't know his identity at first, nor did he know which family he was from, but he heard that he recognized his father, so he wanted to stop him from telling him.
He is a father. But if he is a peer, it would be difficult to scold him, so he is said to be his elder."
"Moreover, if we talk about taking advantage of seniority, you have also taken advantage of it for many years." As he said that, he glanced at Lan Siqi. Although Lan Siqi usually called him uncle, according to the relationship between her and He was of the same generation, a generation older than Min'er. The reason why he asked Lan Siqi to call him uncle on weekdays was because Lan Siqi was seventeen years younger than him. In this era, there was an age gap of one generation. He also took Siqi into the palace to raise her soon after she was born; secondly, he also called her this way to make things easier.
Although Lan Siqi usually didn't say it, she also knew that she was actually the same generation as Yun Hei. Hearing this, she just pursed her lips and smiled and said nothing. But Min'er didn't know, and after hearing Yun Hei's words, she quickly asked: " Dad, are you familiar with Min'er, and the people who usually call each other brother, sister, and younger brother are actually a generation older than Min'er? Who is it?"
"What do you think?" Yunxi teased her.
"Could it be Sister Daiwen?" She said the name of one of Xiran's daughters.
"No. Daiwen's father is your uncle. You call him uncle when you see him, and your mother calls him brother when she sees him in private. How can Daiwen be a generation older than you?" Yunhe said with a smile.
Min'er guessed a few more names, but never mentioned Lan Siqi's name. She had lived with Siqi since she was born. They had played together as early as they could remember, were naughty together, and made Xiyao angry together. They are sisters. In her heart, Siqi is her biological sister, and she has no doubt that she is a generation older than herself.
But in this case, she must have guessed wrong. After she even guessed a few names but was rejected, Yunxi saw that she had arrived at the gate of the imperial city and smiled at Min'er: "Min'er, you don't have to guess. You can't guess." Arrived."
Min'er herself was a little discouraged and muttered: "My daughter won't guess anymore. I will ask my mother when I get back. She will definitely know who it is."
'Remember to tell Xiyao and Xiyi not to tell who Min'er is. The servants around me also have to tell them again.' After listening to her words, Yunxi said in his heart. The relationship between Min'er and Lan Siqi now The relationship is harmonious and there is no need to destroy it.
He was thinking about it when suddenly the carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial city. Yunxi opened the curtain and was about to ask why. The guard guarding Xihua Gate had already walked up to the carriage, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you." Your Majesty reports."
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, shortly after Your Majesty left the palace this afternoon, a man with brown hair and a face that did not look like a person from the Central Plains came here and asked to see Your Majesty. This man claimed to be an envoy from the Kingdom of Castile. His name was Clavius. He also made an appointment and presented the document given to him by His Majesty."
"But according to etiquette, envoys from foreign countries who want to see Your Majesty should make a request to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will report to Your Majesty. They can only meet Your Majesty after receiving His Majesty's permission. It is against the rules for this person to come by himself, so I informed him of the rules and asked him to go back Already."
"According to the regulations, anyone who seeks to see His Majesty must report to Your Majesty. Therefore, although the envoy's actions are against the rules, I still report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty for your permission."
However, even though he said this, according to the established and unwritten rules, they would not report to the emperor such a completely unruly request for an audience as Claviyo, and would at most tell the commander of the guards; but Claviyo was special, not because He has a special appearance and hair color. Although his appearance and hair color are not common in the Ming Dynasty, there are a few of them. Moreover, Yunxi gathered all the Semu people who did not believe in the Cross Religion and Tianfang Religion into the capital, so no matter who was in the capital, Neither the officials nor the people found it strange.
What is special is Yunxi's attitude towards Claviyo. Although Yunxi allows ordinary envoys from the Fan Kingdom to walk freely in the city, he strictly limits the time they can stay in the capital, and they are not allowed to leave the city privately. Otherwise, their status will be revoked.
However, for Claviyo, since he arrived in the capital at the end of the twelfth lunar month last year and has stayed in the capital for more than seven months, Yunxi has no intention of letting him return to his country. He can still eat and drink at Fanguan for free.
; Not only that, there are no restrictions on his entry and exit of the capital, and he can even get some money from Fanguan. This is a treatment that has never been received by an envoy from any country before. Therefore, the guards did not dare to treat it as normal and directly ask Yunxi.
Report.
"According to my new regulations, all matters related to the Fan Kingdom are handed over to the Lifan Yuan, so it should be the envoys of the Fan Kingdom who request the Lifan Yuan, and the officials of the Lifan Yuan should report to me." Yunxi was stunned when he heard what the guard said.
After being stunned for a moment, he first corrected the guard's mistake and then said, "He didn't wait at Xihua Gate?"
"No. Your Majesty, he left Xihua Gate after I informed him of the rules for asking to see Your Majesty."
"In this case, are you going to take the risk?"
"Your Majesty, in a quarter of an hour, it will be my duty."
"After you get off duty, go to Fanguan and tell Claviyo to enter the palace tomorrow at 12:00 and wait for my call in the Jinshen Hall." Yunxi ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard bowed and agreed.
After saying this, the guard did not want to report anything. Yunxi lowered the curtain, and the carriage started moving again and drove towards the imperial city.
"Siqi." Yunxi suddenly called her.
"Uncle?" Lan Siqi quickly agreed.
"If a country is tens of thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, do you think it is necessary for my uncle to care about what is happening in this country?" Yunxi said.
"Uncle, if a country is so far away from the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty cannot affect what happens in that country, and what happens in that country cannot affect the Ming Dynasty, so there should be no need." Lan Siqi didn't know what Yunxi meant.
, said after consideration.
"According to common sense, what you said is right, but the current era is different from before."
…
…
"You just sent me to the hospital, and you met His Majesty?" Just when Yunxi took the children back to the palace, he had just finished treating the last patient, packed up his things and left the hospital to return to the mansion.
Zhu Xiancai was a little surprised when she heard what Luo Yi said to her.
"It's getting late, let's get on the carriage first. If it's a little later, it will be curfew time." Luo Yi did not answer her immediately, but said this.
When Zhu Xiancai came back to his senses, he saw that it had indeed gotten dark. It gets dark late in the summer, and getting dark meant that the curfew was about to begin, so he obeyed and got into the carriage.
Her two maids were about to follow and get into the car, but Luo Yi stopped them, signaled them to ride horses, and got into the car himself. The two maids were slightly surprised, but they were not the ordinary ladies from the royal family in the capital.
The equally pampered maid was assigned to Zhu Xiancai to serve her when he was in the southwest. She also followed him across mountains and ridges to see patients and collect medicines. She also knew how to ride a horse, so she didn't say anything, put on her hat, got on her horse and followed the carriage.
"What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" Zhu Xiancai asked again.
"The Yingtian Township Examination is about to be held. Your Majesty told me that the purpose of coming out is to see the scholars who are preparing for the examination." Luo Yi said: "It's nothing. It's normal for Your Majesty to come out for some air when you are bored in the palace."
"But today when he was taking a breather, he met a businessman. This businessman is also very famous. He is the businessman named Xiao who has taken over all the Nanyang slaves in the capital city."
"Your Majesty has always attached great importance to business. It's not surprising." Zhu Xiancai said.
"But he said something at that time." Luo Yi whispered Yunxi's instructions to Xiao Zhuo at that time.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Xiancai also thought of something first.
"People in the southwest can also do this. In this way, they will have another way to make money, and they will not have to live in such poverty as now."
"Then send the news back immediately!"
