Chapter 1806 Following the Road Twenty Years Ago - Xian Cai
"Then we'll wait until we get to Tianjin. Sister, there's no rush." Yunzhi agreed with a smile.
At this time, a servant came to report that dinner was ready. Yun and Yunzhi stopped talking, got up and went to eat.
When having dinner, Yun met Xiancai. Yun looked at her a few times and saw that her eyes were red and she didn't speak. She just lowered her head to eat. When others saw this, it was hard to say anything to her, so they could only be nice to her.
Yunzhi whispered a few words, but Xiancai only agreed softly and said nothing more. Yunzhi could only stop talking. She quickly finished her meal, left the dining table and returned to her resting place tonight.
.
Whether it was intentional or not, although the decoration was completely different, the room assigned to her was clearly the boudoir she lived in many years ago. Before Xiancai walked into the room, she squatted down by the outer wall, reached out and touched the corner, and suddenly something appeared on her face.
She smiled, as if she remembered something very interesting, but her expression quickly dimmed again. "The time passed can never be returned." She said softly and stood up. The maid behind her reacted to her actions.
Very puzzled, but didn't say anything.
She walked into the house, sat down on the edge of the bed, and recalled the scene when she saw her father today. Thinking of not seeing her for more than ten years, her father's temples had turned gray and his eyes had become a little cloudy. She couldn't help but feel a little moist in her eyes. But she had just seen her father.
When I started to think back, the maid suddenly walked in and announced in a trembling and surprised voice: "Madam, the emperor wants to see you."
"Your Majesty, please come in." Xiancai was not surprised that Yun came to see her, but she was a little puzzled that he came at this time. However, she could not turn away the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and ordered.
.
Yun quickly walked in and saw Xiancai who was putting on her coat. She smiled and said, "We are cousins and a family. We don't have to dress neatly when we meet. And as the princess, how can you do this yourself?"
For matters related to your affairs, you should let the maid serve you."
"When my sister traveled over the mountains and ridges in the southwest to go to a certain tribe, she was used to having to dress and eat by herself." Xiancai put on her coat and said.
"This is different. If I go on a tour incognito, I won't bring eunuchs or maids with me. I will naturally dress myself. But in the palace, I will be served by servants. Now it's not like you are traveling over the mountains and ridges in the southwest, so you should
Let the servants serve and dress you." Yun said.
"My sister is afraid that she is used to being served, and she will not be used to walking in remote places in the future." Xiancai said something and immediately changed the subject: "Brother, why did you come to see my sister today?"
"First of all, I wanted to ask Uncle Qi about his current situation." Yun also spoke of his purpose straightforwardly. "Back then, Uncle Qi abused the people near the station and triggered the Luxie Rebellion. Of course I had no sympathy for him.
Good impression. But after all, nearly twenty years have passed, and no matter how great the resentment is, it has faded away. What’s more, Uncle Qi’s actions in Qingzhou in the past nineteen years have restored his past reputation. I no longer resent him.
.”
"Uncle Qi has been living in a Buddhist temple these years. He doesn't eat meat. He is getting older and his body may not be able to bear it, so I care about how he is doing now. Naturally, although I no longer resent him, I am not only concerned about him.
It's out of family affection, but because he is healthy and alive and useful."
Yun's words are very honest and not false at all. Xiancai is no longer a little girl, and her nineteen years of experience in Southwest China has also made her see how dangerous people's hearts are. Yun's high-profile speech and emphasis on family affection cannot impress her, so it is better to tell the truth.
At least Xiancai wouldn't fool him by talking nonsense even if she was unhappy.
"My father is in good health and looks very healthy. Although he has a lot of white hair on his head, it is very normal for an old man of his age." Xiancai replied.
"That's good." Yun breathed a sigh of relief. As a 'royal monk' known to almost everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu was a monk who did good deeds every day. As long as he was still alive, he would still do good deeds every day, which would help uplift the people of the entire Central Plains.
The impression on the clan is of great benefit, and it is also beneficial to him in ruling the Ming Dynasty. The longer such a person lives, the better.
Moreover, Yun looked at Xiancai again: The former King of Qi's lineage, not only Zhu Yiren's life is good for the Ming Dynasty, Xiancai is now well-known in Southwest Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and other provinces and Yuefan.
Yu Mazu is located on the southeast coast, and because of her very bizarre family background, her reputation is even more famous than Mazu. Xiancai's survival is also very beneficial to stabilizing the rule of the southwestern region of the Ming Dynasty.' Speaking of which, although the Qi King's lineage caused trouble
This was the first time since the founding of the country that military generals rebelled, but as a result, these two people who were extremely useful in stabilizing the rule were born. In addition, the victory in this battle completely stabilized my throne. I don’t know what the impact of the Lu Xie Rebellion back then was.
Is the imperial court a good thing or a bad thing?' Yun thought.
"What is the emperor thinking about?" Xiancai suddenly asked again.
"Although Uncle Qi seems to be in good health, he is old after all, and it is better to have a more refined diet than when he was young." Yun said. "You don't have to worry about this matter. The Qingzhou government will take care of it. I'm here today.
I have another thing to do with you. I just want to ask how the barbarian tribes in the southwest are doing now, are they all peaceful, and what is their attitude towards the imperial court."
"Brother Emperor," Xian Cai suddenly said seriously: "It is not appropriate to call them barbarians. They are not foreign countries that submitted themselves to the Ming Dynasty, but officials appointed by the imperial court. Although they are hereditary native officials, they are also officials of the Ming Dynasty.
The people under their rule are also the common people of the Ming Dynasty. It is not good to call them barbarians. I think the word 'minority' that the emperor mentioned before is not bad and suitable to be used to call them."
"After all, they are different from ordinary Ming officials, and the people under their rule are also different from the people of Ming Dynasty. But what you said makes sense. It is indeed inappropriate to call them barbarians, but it is not good to call them ethnic minorities. What should they be called specifically?
Let’s discuss it again,” Yun said. After listening to Xian Cai’s words, he did feel that it would be better to use different terms to refer to the barbarians of Fan State and the barbarians ruled by the Ming Dynasty, but he was allergic to the four words ‘minority’.
, decided to give it another name. I couldn’t think of it for a while, so I could only tell the people at the Hanlin Academy after I went back and let them brainstorm ideas.
