Mei Yin immediately said to Princess Ning Guo: "Oh my princess, it is allowed to say such things! Such things cannot be done!"
"And how can the emperor treat outsiders better than his own family? The emperor has just made three princes kings of the country. Although they are all remote places, and some princes are not willing to go, it can be seen that the emperor treats his family very much.
OK."
Princess Ningguo knew she had made a mistake after she said this. It was not the time for Zhu Yuanzhang to become emperor, and Yunxi had no regulations on what would happen to the princesses. In addition, Princess Hongwu of Ningguo married Mei Yin in the eleventh year, and Yunxi had not yet
After she was born! After that, she rarely met Yunxi when she entered the palace. She had no affection and was not even familiar with him. If she really made Yunxi disgusted by her words, it would be more than worth the gain.
However, after hearing what her husband Mei Yin said, Princess Ning Guo still murmured: "She is so kind to her uncles and brothers, but she has never treated us princesses, except Yun Ying, since she came to the throne. The brothers are dear to each other.
Could it be that we are just in love?"
Mei Yin could not stop Princess Ning Guo from muttering, so she could only stay silent. At this time, a maid ran over and said, "Your Highness, the Prince Consort, Your Majesty has sent someone to convey the order."
Mei Yin and his wife immediately stood up, looked at each other, packed their clothes, and then came to the front hall.
Wang Xi was strolling in the front hall with two young eunuchs. When he saw Mei Yin, Princess Ning Guo and his wife coming in, he immediately knelt down and saluted them and said: "My servant Wang Xi has met His Royal Highness Princess Ning Guo and the Prince Consort."
Princess Ningguo just said indifferently: "Get up." But Mei Yin immediately helped Wang Xi up. He knew that it was not the time for Zhu Yuanzhang to become the emperor. According to the examples in the history books, this kind of becoming a prince
The eunuchs who had followed him before had a greater weight in the emperor's heart than the emperor's relatives, who had no deep feelings for him, so he did not dare to offend him.
Wang Xi was also unhappy when he heard Princess Ning Guo's indifferent words. Since Yunxi became the crown prince, he has met many people. In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Guo Ning, even Xiyao
, Chang's mother (Chang Yuchun's wife), Yunying, Zhu Zhen and other princes did not dare to deal with him like this.
However, Mei Yin immediately helped him up and whispered a few soft words. Wang Xi, who was not well-off in the city, immediately put aside the unpleasant feeling. The relationship between Princess Ning Guo and Mei Yin was not bad.
So there is no other action.
Wang Xi cleared his throat and said: "Your Highness Princess Ningguo, Prince Consort, I am going to deliver your Majesty's decree."
Mei Yin immediately knelt down. Princess Ning Guo was originally unwilling to kneel down, but when she saw Mei Yin kneeling down, she had no choice but to kneel down.
Wang Xi immediately felt relieved, as if the gloomy sky outside had cleared up. He said loudly: "The Holy One has spoken: Princess Xuanning's consort Mei Yin comes to court."
Mei Yin said: "I accept the order." Then he stood up with Princess Ning Guo.
Wang Xi smiled and said to Mei Yin: "Prince-in-law, Your Majesty seems to be in a hurry. Prince-in-law, please come into the palace with me right now."
Mei Yin looked back at his wife, who had a happy face, and said, "Let me change my clothes, and then go to the backyard to change my clothes."
When Wang Xi brought Mei Yin to the Qianqing Palace, Yunxi was holding a small book and frowning at it. Beside him, there were several similar small books.
These were all things that Yunxi had written down a few years ago. After all, Yunxi had been here for six years, and he couldn’t remember many things from his previous life. Fortunately, he began to remember them soon after he came here. Whatever he thinks of, no matter what it is related to, he writes it down anytime and anywhere, and then writes it down in a small book using simplified Chinese characters or pinyin.
These small notebooks filled with words in recent years have been carefully placed in his study by Yunxi. No one, including Xiyao, is allowed to enter his study without his permission. The eunuchs who clean the house daily are not allowed to enter his study. He didn't know how to read. Fortunately, when he started to memorize these things, Zhu Yuanzhang had already given up on secretly observing him, and Zhu Yuanzhang never once thought of coming to his study to take a look, so he was never exposed.
After Yunxi succeeded to the throne, he moved all these things to Qianqing Palace for safekeeping.
At this time, Yunxi was struggling to read a paragraph of text. From time to time, he used a pen to write on the paper next to him. Sometimes he even murmured to himself: "Why do I just remember it now?"
At this time, Wang Xi walked to the door of the palace, knocked on the door softly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the consort Mei Yin is here."
Yunxi raised his head and said, "Mei Yin is here, let him come in." But after saying that, he lowered his head and continued to look at the notebook.
Wang Xi went out and called Mei Yin in. When Mei Yin saw Yun Xi, he immediately knelt down and said, "I have seen your majesty, Mei Yin."
Yunxi raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, why do you need to give a big gift? We are all one family."
Mei Yin knew that when Yunxi met relatives of the emperor and the founding heroes of the country recently, they all told the same story. He did not dare to take this seriously.
Speaking of which, Mei Yin also came from a noble class. His father, Mei Sizu, was conferred the title of Marquis of Runan in the third year of Hongwu and was also a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. However, in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, his family pursued the remnants of Hu Weiyong, and the whole family, except for him, He, the children he had with Princess Ningguo, and others were all killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although he escaped with his life, he was cautious from now on. Therefore, he still finished the ceremony before getting up.
Yunxi read the small notebook for a while and wrote down something on another piece of paper. Then he put down the notebook and faced Mei Yin.
Although Yunxi was thinking about other things just now, he had been observing Mei Yin out of the corner of his eye and found that he never showed the slightest hint of impatience.
Yunxi had also read the records of the Meiyin family just now, and found out that his whole family except for his small family had been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Yunxi finally found a reason why he did not work hard during the 'Jingnan' Li: You, the old Zhu family, don’t take us seriously. You can kill us if you want. I said, why do you sacrifice your life for your family? It’s different who becomes the emperor?
Although this idea was just Yunxi's own guess and not necessarily Mei Yin's original intention, Yunxi felt that there must be a reason for this.
It was difficult for Yunxi to understand why Zhu Yuanzhang would trust such a person who had a blood feud with him. If it were left to Yunxi himself, even if he would not kill Mei Yin, he would never reuse Mei Yin.
Yunxi said: "Uncle Mei."
Mei Yin immediately said: "I don't dare to be called your Majesty's uncle."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Since he is an uncle, why can't he be my uncle?" Mei Yin just gave in.
Yunxi stopped worrying about the title issue and said: "Mei Mei, Emperor Taizu asked me when he was dying, saying that Mei Mei has great talents and cannot be buried."
"Mei Prince Consort once studied politics in Shandong, and his achievements were remarkable, and he was highly praised by Emperor Taizu. I want to make Mei Prince Consort a third-rank minister of Taipu Temple, and a member of Zhongshushe, and he can enter the palace at any time to meet the saints. Mei Prince Consort thinks that how?"
Generally speaking, Taipu Temple is responsible for raising horses. The horse administration that later indirectly caused Liu Liu and Liu Qi's uprising did not start in the Yongle Dynasty. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang established a group of herdsmen in Tatashi. The prison was specialized in the management of horse breeding; later, it changed several times, and now the Yamen of Taipu Temple is located in Chuzhou, and there are horse breeding places in Liaodong, northwest, and Zhili; Yunxi also won over Jeju Island, and now It was also an important horse-producing area in the Ming Dynasty.
In an era when cavalry was so important, at least on the surface, it cannot be said that this is not an important use of Mei Yin, but Yunxi also avoided the situation where Mei Yin was the chief officer or the commander of the army. After all, Mei Yin Even if you dare to neglect your duties, you don't dare to make it too obvious. Now Ming Dynasty has one more Jeju Island as a horse breeding place than in history, so it is not worse than in history.
Mei Yin's expression did not change at all, and he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your decree."
Yunxi originally wanted to chat with Mei Yin about home affairs, but seeing Mei Yin's behavior, he said a few words and let him go.
When Mei Yin returned to Princess Ningguo's mansion, Princess Ningguo asked: "Mei Lang, what official position did your Majesty give you?"
Mei Yin said: "His Majesty has appointed me as the Minister of Taipu Temple and also as the Minister of Zhongshu She. I can enter the palace at any time to meet the Holy Spirit."
Princess Ningguo jumped up and said: "How come you are the Minister of Taipusi? What kind of official position is this! Why do you also serve as the official of Zhongshushe? You can enter the palace at any time to meet the emperor. The yamen of Taipusi is in Chuzhou. Although it is not far from the capital, it is It's impossible to come to the capital all the time, and the power of 'being able to enter the palace at any time' is of no use!"
But she came back to her senses immediately, looked at Mei Yin's expressionless face, and said: "It's nothing. His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne. I don't know your abilities. You can do your best in the position of Taipusi Qing. I will find an opportunity next year." I will remonstrate with His Majesty and transfer you back to the capital."
After a pause, Princess Ningguo said again: "If you don't want to do it, just resign. With your and my salary, there will be no shortage of money. When Shunchang and Jingfu are a few years older, I will Go to His Majesty with all your might and give them a hereditary future."
Mei Yin looked at the face of his wife, Princess Ningguo, and was also very moved. He said: "How could I resign? Although Your Majesty did not leave me in the capital, the Minister of Taipusi Temple is also an important official position. Most of the horses in the country are Taipusi. If something goes wrong, it will be a national matter."
"I will work hard in my position as Taipusi Minister and wait for my return to Beijing in a few years."
Then he said to Princess Ningguo: "Please wait for me in the capital."
Princess Ningguo said: "I will accompany you to Chuzhou."
Mei Yin said in surprise: "How can that be done?"
Princess Ningguo said: "Why not? In the 22nd year of Hongwu's reign, Yongjia married Wu Dinghou's son Guo Ming, and didn't he follow him to other places?"
Mei Yin wanted to say more, and Princess Ning Guo said: "This matter is settled. I will go to His Majesty immediately and ask him to approve it!"
