Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace. Because it was already noon and he had something to talk to Xiyao, he walked to Kunning Palace.
At this time, Xiyao was talking to Xiyi. After Yunxi decided their residence yesterday, although Xiyi and the others could not move to the palace designated for them immediately, Xiyao immediately took Xiyi to Kunning Palace .
Xiyi said: "Sister, your Majesty has succeeded to the throne. It's hard for me to go out these days. I'm always reading in the palace."
"I have seen that when new emperors succeed to the throne, ministers will always ask the emperor to accept concubines. Sister, do you want to add more concubines to His Majesty?"
Xiyao looked at her doubtfully and said, "Why should I add more people to His Majesty?"
Xiyi also looked at her doubtfully and said, "Isn't this what my sister did two years ago?"
Xiyao looked at Xiyi dumbfounded and said, "What a silly girl. If you were the only one selected into the palace, I guess..." Xiyao didn't say the rest, but Xiyi could guess it.
"This is the same time. At that time, one was that I gave birth to a daughter. Although Your Majesty didn't say it, I'm afraid he was not particularly satisfied in his heart. Two, Taizu is still here, and Taizu must not allow you and my sisters to dominate the harem. If If I don't add people, Taizu will add people. If I dare to be dissatisfied, our family will die without a burial place. Then it is better for me to choose someone to add people to Your Majesty."
"Now Taizu," Xiyao asked Xiyi's eldest maid Yuan Chun, who was standing by the side, to go outside and take a look, and then said, "he has died, and His Highness has two sons. I don't have to worry about this. "
"And His Majesty is not enthusiastic about choosing new concubines. How many maids are there in my Kunning Palace, and how many are there in the Wenhua Palace? Have you ever met one? It can be seen that Your Majesty is not enthusiastic about accepting concubines."
"Besides, do you think I would like someone to share my favor with my sister? It was forced before, but it is not like that now. So why should I take the initiative to add someone to His Majesty's favor?"
Xiyi nodded and said, "I finally understand. My sister is right. If I had entered the palace alone, I probably wouldn't have known where I was by now."
Xiyao wanted to say something more. At this time, Yingxia, who was waiting at the door of the main hall, said: "I have seen your majesty." Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear, and even the Xiyao sisters in the cabinet room heard it.
Xiyao turned around and left the pavilion, and met Yunxi in the hall. After she saluted, Yunxi said, "What are you doing this morning?"
Xiyao said: "I was talking to my sister. Because Yi'er is pregnant and inconvenient, I took her to Kunning Palace today."
Yunxi said: "Xiyi is here too? That's just right. I have something to tell you two."
Xiyao asked: "What do you want me to talk to you about? Is it something related to the Xue family?"
Yunxi said: "Let the people in the imperial dining room prepare lunch first. I have time to talk to you."
Xiyao immediately asked Tingle to make arrangements. Yunxi and Xiyao came to the attic room where the Xiyao sisters were chatting just now, and Xiyi stood up to salute.
Of course Yunxi stopped her immediately. Xiyi didn't struggle much and sat down again.
Yunxi asked the maids to go out, and then said: "Today, I announced the rewards to Xiran and Xiyang in the court, and both of them were granted the title of hereditary commander. But there was no reward for my father-in-law."
Xiyao immediately said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty can make the decision on the reward yourself. There is no need to talk to my two sisters." Xiyao immediately changed his name to Yunxi.
Yunxi said: "I want to follow the example of Han Gao, who said, 'You can't be knighted without merit', so I won't give my father-in-law a title before he has made meritorious service. Xiyao, please talk to your father-in-law and mother-in-law so that you don't have any grudges in your heart."
"
In fact, the main thing is not to let the Xiyao sisters have a grudge in their hearts. Although the Xue family is still capable, there are still many people who can fight in the military general team that has not gone through the second purge. Yunxi is not short of these people, but in order to maintain
Xiyao cannot have any grudges about the order of the harem. There is a long way to go to build a harmonious harem.
Xiyao really understood what Yunxi meant. Although Yunxi had some roundabout ways of doing things, people who first came into contact with Yunxi could not guess his purpose. But the purpose was consistent.
The more you know, the more you can guess Yunxi's actual purpose, so Xiyao can quickly guess Yunxi's purpose.
Xiyao said: "Husband, Xiyao knows."
Then Yunhe took Xiyao and took Xiyi to eat together, although Xiyi ate a separate meal.
At this time, Zhang Yuzheng was talking to his eldest son Zhang Fu in a tavern near the school field of the Fujun vanguard.
Zhang Yu said: "You will graduate from the martial arts hall after the new year, right? Why didn't you say you wanted to go back to Peking? Why did you stay in the capital?"
Zhang Fu said: "My son doesn't know either. After I graduated, my son wrote a letter saying that he wanted to return to Peiping, but he sent me to the avant-garde of the army as a hundred households. It is said that His Majesty personally selected me to come to the avant-garde of the army."
Zhang Yu said: "I saw that although your final exam results are good, they are not good enough to be in the top twenty. Why would His Majesty let you stay in person?"
Zhang Fu said: "I don't know, maybe they are talking nonsense."
Zhang Yu said: "Fortunately, His Majesty is going to entrust the enfeoffment now, otherwise..."
Zhang Fu said: "What else?"
Zhang Yu said: "It's nothing. No matter what, someone must be interested in you, so you can work hard in the capital. And you are in the capital, and I am following His Highness King Yan. If anything happens, you can still stay at least
One."
"Also, since you have graduated and stayed in the capital, I will have someone send He to the capital." He is Zhang Fu's wife.
Since Zhang Fu had already stayed in the capital, it would not be good for his wife to be in Peiping anymore, so he nodded.
Zhang Fu said: "Dad, many of the gentlemen who lecture in the martial arts hall in the capital are famous generals of our Ming Dynasty. The Marquis of Changxing, the Marquis of Jingchuan, and the Marquis of Huining all gave lectures here. In the future,
Let the second brother come here too."
Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Your second brother is still young, why do you want to do this now? What about it?" Zhang Yu means that when Zhu Di is crowned king, Zhang Fu will stay in the capital, but they will all follow Zhu Di.
If you are sealed, it may not be possible to send your son to the capital.
However, Zhang Fu said: "It is true, Mr. Jing said that when your Majesty became the crown prince, you thought about changing the martial arts hall."
At the same time, Zhu Gaochi from Prince Yan's Mansion was very happy, and Zhu Di also smiled and said, "Yes, the first child is a boy. It's really good."
It turned out that Zhu Gaochi's wife Zhang had given birth to a child. The eunuch in front of her said: "Your Highness, the little prince was born on the ninth day of June. He looks very good, and the imperial concubine is also safe. The imperial concubine also said that the little prince is very capable. It’s time to eat.”
Zhu Di smiled and said: "If you can eat well, you can eat well."
Another eunuch named Ma who came from Peiping said: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess would like you to name the little prince."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said: "The ranking given by my father is the character 'Zhan', and the last character has to be a native character, so let's call him Zhu Zhanji."

Brothers Chang Sheng and Chang Sen returned to the mansion. At this time, Chang Sheng was renamed Zheng Guogong, and the imperial edict of benefiting five hundred shi had been sent back to the founding Duke's mansion. Mrs. Hu welcomed the two brothers with a face full of joy.
When they all came in, Mrs. Hu said: "Your Majesty is indeed the biological son of Crown Princess Yiwen, and he has not forgotten our Chang Mansion."
Chang Sheng said irritably: "What are you mumbling about!"
Mrs. Hu said: "What? Isn't it good to change the title to gain benefits?"
Chang Sheng said: "I originally wanted to find my eldest brother's son from Jurong County these days. The people I sent to find him have already left with my uncle. I know which family they are from and they will be able to get him back in a few days." Bring them back."
"The title of Duke Zheng originally belongs to my eldest brother. I am waiting for my eldest nephew to take over and ask your majesty to change the title to my eldest nephew."
"But now that I have been officially renamed Zheng Guogong, is there any reason why the imperial title should be changed again and again? I'm afraid I can't give the title to my eldest nephew."
Of course Mrs. Hu knew that Chang Mao's son existed, but she had not known before that Chang Sheng actually wanted to give him the title of Duke. Mrs. Hu did not show it on the surface, but in her heart she could not help but be secretly grateful to Yunxi for giving him the title of Duke at this time. The reward was given to the Chang family, otherwise if Chang Sheng had written a letter, Yunxi might have approved Chang Sheng's relinquishment of the title.
That would be completely different for the Hu family. Her son would be the Duke of the country, and her nephew would be the Duke of the country. Which woman would be willing to do this?
Mrs. Hu did not dare to wait here any longer and said, "There are still household matters waiting for me to take care of." Then she left, leaving the two brothers here sighing.
Seoul, Li Fangyuan stood in a large house in Seoul wearing a chainmail suit. The chainmail suit he wore was full of blood, which penetrated to the clothes inside the suit. He didn't know that the blood was his own. , or someone else’s, maybe everyone has it?
Li Fangyuan didn't care about the blood stains on his body at all, and said to his confidant Jin Hanlao: "Is everything ready?"
Jin Hanlao was also wearing armor and his body was covered with blood. He said: "Master Li Fangqian of Huai'an has committed suicide; his wives, concubines and children have all been executed. Several ministers close to Master Li Fangqian of Huai'an have also been executed. They have all been executed or imprisoned. There is no place or person in the entire Seoul that is not under Lord Jun's control."
Li Fangyuan asked again: "Is your father still well in the palace?"
Jin Hanlao replied: "Everything is fine!"
Li Fangyuan took a breath and whispered: "I don't want to be like this, but who told you to compete with me for the position of the king of North Korea?"
Then he turned around and said: "Old Jin Han, you and your people will immediately set off to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. You must bring with you the edict to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of the throne that was written by your father and stamped with the seal of the king of Korea.
."
"I must let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty recognize me as the king of Korea. As long as I don't cede the land or hand over the people, I can agree to any conditions!"
Jin Hanlao could tell from Li Fangyuan's tone how determined he was, and he lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your orders!"
