The next day, Yunxi got up at midnight because he had slept well the day before. Xiyao was still awake at this time, so he had breakfast with Xiyi, and then went to Dongnuang Pavilion.
All his subordinate officials were already waiting, and they all saluted when they saw Yunxi. When Yunxi saw a relatively unfamiliar person, he asked him, "Who are you?"
This man was about thirty years old and quite tall. When he heard Yunxi's question, he said, "Chen He is the censor, and is Jing Qing, the assistant manager of the martial arts hall."
Chen Xingshan also said: "Your Highness, your Highness used Jing Qing as the assistant manager of the Wushu Hall, so I brought Mr. Jing here to explain clearly what happened in the Wushu Hall these days."
After hearing what Chen Xingshan said, Yunxi looked at the tall man in front of him who didn't look like a scholar. Although Yunxi had heard Lao Zhu talk about Jingqing and had seen him, there were too many officials in the Ming Dynasty, and Yunxi couldn't remember Jingqing. s face.
He said, "It turns out to be Jing Qing." As he said this, he laughed.
Chen Xingshan and others didn't know what Yunxi was laughing at, and said: "Your Highness, during the period when Your Highness was away from the capital, everything in the martial arts hall was fine and nothing major happened. Although some students violated discipline, they were all punished."
Yunxi said: "How to punish students who violate disciplines? But they must be punished according to the regulations. No mercy. Once there is mercy, the martial arts hall will be abolished."
Chen Xingshan said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the punishment will be in accordance with the regulations."
Yunxi still believed in Chen Xingshan's integrity, and he had nothing to do with the military commander system, and he was not afraid of anyone interceding, so he just mentioned it and didn't say much.
Chen Xingshan added: "It's just that the recruitment of students this year has not been settled yet. Students from all provinces have been selected, but the construction of the martial arts hall and classrooms is not easy, and the classrooms and classrooms cannot be combined. The school building was built together, and other things had to be expanded. Fortunately, the area around the martial arts hall was large, so we could barely manage to get things done in the first month."
Yunxi also knew that what he proposed on the spur of the moment was indeed not easy to do. It would be good if he could start from October and do well in the first month, so he encouraged Chen Xingshan, Zhang Shu and Jingqing.
After that, we talked about other things, and it was lunch time. After Yunxi and these ministers finished their lunch, they went back to Wenyuan Pavilion to rest for a while, and then went to Qianqing Palace. The Chinese New Year is approaching these days, and there are a lot of things going on in the palace and in the palace. , Yunxi didn’t have much time to rest.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is over, and the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu has also arrived. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yunxi went out to 'pay New Year greetings'. This started from the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu. It was Yunxi's own initiative that he went to Changfu to pay New Year's greetings. , but Lao Zhu did not object.
Then on the fifth day of the first lunar month in the 27th year of Hongwu, when Yunxi went to Changfu, Li Jinglong happened to go to Changfu on that day. Then Yunxi simply took Xu Huizu and others to the meritorious temple on that day to worship. From then on it became a habit.
Yunxi arrived at Chang's Mansion first. Of course, he first wanted to see Chang's mother, and then Chang Sheng and others. They first asked about things in Xuan's Mansion, and then talked about the family affairs.
Then Yunxi took Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, and called Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu, Lan Zhen and others over, and then went to the Temple of Heroes to worship. At Yunxi's insistence, and because of the certainty of this expedition to Mobei, , Lan Lian's tablet also entered the Temple of Meritorious Officers. Yunxi couldn't help but choked up again when he looked at Lan Lian's tablet.
After the worship ceremony, Yunxi said to Lan Zhen because of Lan Lian: "Lan Qing, Lan Lian's wife has been pregnant for several months, right? How long will it take for the baby to be born? I will go to the mansion to see her then."
It's okay if he didn't say this. As soon as Yunxi said this, Lan Zhen said bitterly: "Your Highness, Mrs. Hu has given birth."
Yunxi said happily: "Have you given birth? Is it a boy or a girl? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lan Zhen said: "Your Highness, it's a girl, so I didn't tell Your Highness." If it were a boy, it would definitely be reported to the country, and it would involve the issue of seizing the title.
Yunxi looked at Lan Zhen's unhappy face and said, "Lan Qing, are you unhappy because you are a girl? This is not good. Whether you are a boy or a girl, they are all Lan Lian's flesh and blood. You can't treat her just because she is a girl.
She is not good."
Lan Zhen said: "Your Highness, this is not the reason, but Lan Lian's wife Hu died in childbirth."
Yunxi said: "Died in childbirth? Why didn't I know? Then who is taking care of the child now?"
Lan Zhen said doubtfully: "Because it's the Chinese New Year, the funeral is unlucky, so we didn't publicize it much. We just informed the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. The children are taken care of by the humble concubine. I now have a son and two daughters. The eldest son and eldest daughter are taken care of by the concubine."
She is also familiar with it."
Yunxi suddenly thought of something and said: "Lan Lian died because of me. Although it is not said so in the memorial, Gu Ye is uneasy."
"I plan to ask Your Majesty to make him a princess and raise him in the palace. What do you think?"
Lan Zhen was shocked and said: "How can my family receive such grace? I would never dare to obey."
Yunxi said firmly: "Why not? He's not a boy."
Lan Zhen tried to persuade Yun Xi again and again, but Yun Xi persisted. Lan Zhen was not firmly opposed to it, but he was afraid that Yun Xi would just say it casually, so he saw that Yun Xi was serious, so he stopped objecting.
Finally Yunxi asked: "Has the child been named yet?"
Lan Zhen had actually already chosen a name, but after hearing Yunxi's words, he meant that he wanted to choose a name, so he said: "I am taking care of Hu's funeral these days, so I will have time to choose a name in the future."
Yunxi said: "Because she is a girl, I don't care about it! Aren't girls the flesh and blood of Lan Lian?" After saying this, Yunxi thought for a while, thought of a very meaningful name, and said: "Just
It’s called Siqi, Lan Siqi.”
After bidding farewell to Lan Zhen, Yunxi returned to the palace, thinking about making Lan Siqi the princess, and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Lao Zhu was reviewing the papers. Basically every time Yunxi came to see Lao Zhu, he was dealing with political affairs, either reviewing the papers or meeting with ministers. Although Lao Zhu became the emperor, he was more tired than being a beggar.
When Lao Zhu saw Yunxi, he said, "Yunxi is here? I just want to see you for something."
Yunxi said: "Grandpa, why are you looking for your grandson?"
Lao Zhu looked at the engraving and said, "You're not busy yet. Why don't you come to grandpa if you have anything to do?"
Yunxi said: "Grandpa, Lan Lian's wife Hu has given birth to a girl. My grandson wants to make her the princess and bring her into the palace to be raised by the royal concubine."
Lao Zhu said: "You can just add generous rewards, why bother to join the palace?"
Yunxi said: "The Hu family died in childbirth, and there was no mother-in-law to take care of her in the Lan Mansion; and Lan Zhen's wife Chen also has her own children, so she may not be able to take good care of Lan Lian's children and bring them into the palace.
"Yunxi felt extremely guilty about Lan Lian's death, so he persisted.
Lao Zhu said: "Then I will make you a princess and enter the palace. But you must remember that the princess is the highest title given to your subordinates. You cannot be made a princess in the future."
Yunxi agreed. Then Yunxi said: "Grandpa, what do you want from me?"
