Yunxi heard that he had agreed, and then said: "Work hard, no matter whether the rail carriage is useful or not, I will not begrudge the reward!"
The carriage immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The common people will not dare to fail to do their best."
The other craftsmen at the scene were extremely envious of the carriage! A county prince came to personally explain the task, and also said that as long as you work hard and don't force results, who wouldn't want to! Many people are jealous of the carriage.
But they didn't dare to cause trouble. The carriage was recommended to His Highness by Eunuch Bai. If the matter couldn't be done, Eunuch Bai would be disgraced. If he found out who caused the trouble, it would be a life worse than death. In a palace The eunuchs with real power should not punish them too easily.
Yunxi said a few words to the craftsmen present, probably asking them to work hard, and then left.
It was already Youshi when Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace. Although it gets dark late in the summer, giving the impression that it is still early, it was indeed night.
However, Yunxi still insisted on calling all four children over and gave them a lecture for half an hour before going to Baoqin Palace to rest.
In the evening in the Chengqian Palace where Baoqin was staying, Yunxi, as before, finished his meal, listened to Zi Yan playing the zither, and ate the melon seeds that Baoqin had peeled for him.
After resting in the evening, after Yunxi and Baoqin had made out, he suddenly thought of Baoqin's family and asked: "Baoqin, I heard you say before that in addition to your parents, you have an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister. These I haven’t cared about your family for a long time.”
"Last time, I remember that your family came out of Zheng Guogong's mansion to start a small business. What are they doing now?"
Baoqin gave birth to his son Wen Yao, and after Wen Yao lived for more than a year, at the end of the 30th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang named Baoqin the grandson's concubine. At that time, the Chang family deprived Baoqin's natal family, the Ye family, and married Baoqin. Household registration in Shangyuan County.
Of course, the laws of the Ming Dynasty prohibited people other than the royal family from keeping slaves. But this kind of thing cannot be prohibited by national laws. It is impossible for these big shots to have only a few servants in their families, even if they have always been Zhu Yuanzhang, who enforced the law strictly, could only acquiesce.
However, if the slave runs away, the government does not support the master in taking the slave back. At most, the master is allowed to use the valuable things from the original slave to offset the value of the slave. Even if it is not enough, everything will be settled.
At that time, Yunxi also gave Baoqin a sum of money and asked him to settle his relatives. From the beginning of the 31st year of Hongwu, there was a lot of things, and he didn't care what happened to the Ye family later. But at this time, the Ming Dynasty The rules are not strict, and the female relatives of high-ranking concubines can enter the palace to meet the concubines, so Baoqin is very clear about the affairs of his own family.
Baoqin said: "My father has been fighting with the Duke of Zheng and knows nothing else. He is also unwilling to buy a few acres of land in the countryside for farming. He has done two businesses in the city, neither of which makes much money."
"My eldest brother married a daughter-in-law who was also a servant of Duke Zheng's palace. My family was embarrassed to ask Duke Zheng to let my eldest sister-in-law's family go free, and my father was not happy to use family money to redeem my eldest sister-in-law's family, so I always went to Zheng Guogong's palace to meet my father-in-law. ."
"Let's go to the Duke's mansion. Because of my relationship, my father and my eldest brother consider themselves to be semi-big people, so they have to bring something with them and spend a lot of money. Although Zheng Guogong will always give some rewards. , but our family doesn’t have much use for the things they rewarded.”
In fact, the truth is that Baoqin deliberately instigated his natal family to get close to the Duke of Zheng's palace. Baoqin has always been cunning and knew that although she had given birth to a son, unless the Xue sisters never had a son, her son would not be able to become the emperor, so her family must be better than
Not in the Chang family.
But for her own status in the palace, she has to stay close to the Chang family. After all, the Chang family is half of her natal family! That's why her eldest brother sometimes goes to Zheng Guogong's mansion. Otherwise, most people in this era would always go to see her.
father-in-law?
Baoqin continued: "So the little money my family originally gave me these days has lost half of the money. The second brother wants to marry a wife again. Although the younger sister doesn't have a family now, it will be hard to get married without a dowry in the future. The whole family
Everyone is worried about what to do."
Yunxi didn't know that Baoqin was speaking half-truths, so he asked, "Have you figured out what to do?"
Bao Qin said: "My father knows how to fight, so he is clamoring to go back to the barracks. But my mother is not willing. Moreover, my eldest brother has practiced martial arts, but the second brother has been studying with the young master in Zheng Guogong's mansion since he was a child, and he does not know martial arts.
."
Yunxi said: "Martial arts is to strengthen the body, not to be a soldier to practice martial arts."
"But your family can do this: separate your second brother and set up a new household as a farmer; your father and your eldest brother will both join the military household. Is this good?"
This is the purpose of holding Qin, but he and she can't do it without Yunxi's intention, so we talk about it today.
Having achieved his goal, Baoqin looked very happy and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. It would be even better if I could enter the Twelve Guards."
Yunxi said: "Okay, fine. Let's stay at the vanguard of the government army."
Baoqin thanks Yunxi again.
Yunxi felt happy when he saw his woman sincerely thanking him, and said, "How do you want to thank me?"
He immediately pretended to be coy while hugging Qin, but his movements were not coy at all, which quickly ignited Yun He's desire, and immediately there was another big fight.
The next morning was uneventful. In the afternoon, Yunxi was reviewing the excerpts with the auxiliary officials. Suddenly Wang Xi said: "Your Majesty, Xia Yuanji, the general envoy of the General Affairs Department, asked for an interview, saying that there are important excerpts."
Yunxi immediately asked Xia Yuanji to come in. After Xia Yuanji came in, he handed the things in his hand to Wang Xi and said: "Your Majesty, there is a letter of confession from the envoy of North Korea, saying that Li Chenggui, the Minister of State of North Korea, was famous for his age.
, gave up the power to his son Li Fangyuan."
Zhu Yuanzhang never formally recognized Li Chenggui's position as the king of Korea throughout his life, but only acquiesced. Zhu Yuanzhang's original words were: 'He sent people again and again, probably to make himself king. I don't ask, I told him to make it for himself, and to support the people.
Connect with each other.'
Then Li Chenggui's title was that he had the right to know the state affairs of North Korea. North Korea during this period was a bit like Spain during Franco's time. Although he had the title of king in name, no one held the position of king.
Yunxi was not very surprised. He didn't know much about the situation in North Korea, and Li Chenggui was already over sixty. It was normal for him to give up power to his son because he could not control the country. Although it was not Li Fangshuo as the envoy said before, there were some
possible.
But then Xia Yuanji continued: "Furthermore, Li Fangyuan requested your Majesty to officially confer him the title of King of the Kingdom of Korea."
