Among the ministers who survived the Hongwu period, there was no one who was willing to give advice, because Zhu Yuanzhang would really let such a person die. When several ministers present saw that Yunxi had made up his mind, they had no choice but not to give advice.
.
There is a difference between admonishing in person and admonishing in person. Generally speaking, when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, if it was admonished by Zhezi, Zhu Yuanzhang would not listen to you as long as he thought you had some sense. But if you admonished in person, Zhu Yuanzhang would beat the person to death in front of him.
It's all possible.
Although they felt that Yunxi would not beat the minister to death in person, it was still possible to kill him in person. They were unwilling to take this risk, and it had no effect, so they all fell silent. Only Zhang Wen sighed silently.
Yunxi is really good at winning over soldiers.
Yunxi looked at them and said nothing, and said to Xie Jin: "Can you take the records from the history museum? Show them to me."
Xie Jin said: "I take it with you as you like." As he said that, he took out a book and handed it to Yunxi. Chinese history books rarely record details. If it were recorded in Western countries, the text of a war could fill several books.
, but in the East there is no need for even a book.
Yunxi took the book, opened it and looked at it. After a while he said: "Just write it according to what is written here. No need to delete or modify it."
Xie Jin agreed, then bowed and left.
But Xie Jin actually wanted to ask about the affair between Shang King Wu Ding and Queen Wu Ding that Yun Xi had mentioned yesterday. He Xie Jin claimed to know astronomy and geography, and there was no book he had not read.
But when Xie Jin heard other people talk about what Yunxi said yesterday, he had never heard of it at all, so he wanted to ask Yunxi.
But after much deliberation, Xie Jin decided to wait for the right opportunity to ask again because he didn't understand Yunxi's thoughts and was afraid that asking rashly would be counterproductive.
Xie Jin was thinking about his own worries, but when he went out, he bumped into another person. The book in his hand fell to the ground, and he also fell to the ground.
The man opposite stretched out his hand to help him up. Xie Jin looked up and saw that it was Qin Song, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Although Xie Jin looked down on Qin Song, a warrior and secret agent in his heart, he was extremely passionate about officialdom and could not offend such a person rashly, so when he was helped up, he smiled and said: "It turns out to be Commander Qin. Xie Jin didn't pay attention just now.
I accidentally bumped into Commander Qin..."
Qin Song didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "It's me who should challenge Jie Zhongshu." He knew that Yunxi valued Jie Jin more, so he didn't want to offend him.
The two of them laughed and said a few words to each other before saying goodbye and leaving.
Qin Song did not enter the main hall, but just asked the eunuch to inform him that he had arrived at Qianqing Palace. It was almost noon, and Yunxi also arrived to let the four ministers and several Zhongshushe people have lunch.
It's time.
Usually at this time, Yunxi would also have dinner with his ministers, or return to Kunning Palace to have dinner with Xiyao. Of course, there is also a situation where he would discuss matters with his cronies and have lunch at the same time, which is the case now.
After Yunxi heard the news from the little eunuch guarding the gate, after a while he felt that the time was almost up, and said to the ministers below: "My lords, it is already noon. Your lords, please eat first. After eating, we will wait for a while."
Let’s take a rest and then deal with the political affairs.”
Because this is an old practice, the people below don't think this is a problem. The person who has just written the suggestions on the foldable handbook puts it down and goes to eat. The person who has half of the foldable handbook has finished writing it.
The note will come later.
Yunxi walked to the side hall where Qin Song was, and while passing the meal around, he asked, "What's going on today? Why do you come here just for me?"
Qin Song saluted. Yunxi observed Qin Song's face and felt that his expression seemed a little strange. Based on his own experience, Yunxi thought that it did not look like something big had happened, but that something strange had happened.
Qin Song said: "Your Majesty, this morning, the people who went to investigate the son of Duke Xian Zheng came back and informed me of their investigation results. I called the witnesses they brought back for questioning. I thought about it again and again and felt that there is no problem."
"However, I never expected such a thing before."
Yunxi also became curious and asked: "What is the reason?"
Qin Song then told everything he had heard from Luo Zhenyu, who served as Deputy Qianhu.
After Yunxi listened, he stood still for a while, and then said: "I never thought it would be like this."
Qin Song said: "I am similar to Your Majesty. It's just that I can't understand why Duke Zheng's palace is like this."
But Yunxi thought for a while and understood the concerns of the Duke of Zheng: "When Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, he personally investigated whether Chang Mao had any descendants many times, but the results were all negative; but now his descendants suddenly appeared again, this
If you look closely, the Chang family is guilty of deceiving the emperor. So it is better to make up a lie.'
Yunxi had no intention of revealing this matter, which would be of no benefit to everyone; but it was still necessary to secretly hit the Chang family and let them know that his little plan was not hidden from Yunxi.
Yunxi thought about it and said to Qin Song: "The Duke of Zheng is looking for a child named Yu Jie to accompany Chang Jifeng to study, right? You can go back and ask the Jin Yiwei people to escort the few people sent by the Chang family, and
The Yu family and his son went to Zheng Guogong's mansion and told them that the Chang family had been robbed by robbers when they came back, and a team of Jinyi guards happened to go out to handle the case and rescued them."
"Just say these words, don't mention anything else. What happened to the natural way of Zheng Guogong's house."
Qin Song said: "I know."
Yunxi said: "Then there's nothing else to do, please step back." Qin Song stepped back.
But Yunxi looked at Qin Song's back and suddenly remembered something: 'What if Qin Song cheats on me?'
'This matter is too easy to expose, I think Qin Song won't be a ghost; but unless I verify every other thing personally, even if Qin Song is a ghost, I won't be able to find out.'
'But besides Qin Song, who else can be trusted?'
Yunxi knew that he had committed one of the common problems of emperors: being suspicious. He knew that being suspicious was not a good thing, but because there were so many things that deceived the emperor in the past dynasties, every emperor was basically suspicious.
Yunxi resisted the desire to set up Dongchang and decided to continue trusting Qin Song.
In the afternoon of that day, Chang Sheng said goodbye to the Jinyi Guards and returned to the backyard. As he walked, he said to Chang Mao: "It's better to let your Majesty know. As expected, my uncle still took it for granted back then. Such things cannot be hidden from your Majesty."
Chang Mao said: "Fortunately, His Majesty is our nephew, so he can just do it secretly. If Yun Wen succeeds to the throne, our Chang family will probably have to let Jifeng remain anonymous for the rest of his life."
Chang Sheng said: "Yes, fortunately the current Holy One has succeeded to the throne." He also said: "Nevertheless, I'd better ask your Majesty for forgiveness tomorrow."
Chang Mao said: "Actually, I don't think there is any need to apologize." Then Chang Mao looked at Chang Sheng staring at him, and then said: "Even if you want to apologize, there is no need to go to the palace."
"Tomorrow afternoon is the day when the eldest princess's son is full moon. According to your majesty's temperament, he will probably participate in it in person. Then I can find an opportunity to apologize to your majesty."
Chang Sheng felt that what Chang Mao said made sense and said, "Then let's look for an opportunity tomorrow afternoon."
Soon, the next day, August 16th, arrived. But Chang Maoke guessed wrong, and Yunxi did not go to attend Yunying's son's full moon in person.
However, this is not because Yunxi does not want to participate, but because he is forced not to participate.
Fang Xiaoru and Chen Xingshan, two Confucian scholars who respected Confucianism from different eras, stood together on this matter and opposed Yunxi's participation in Yunying's son's full moon.
Fang Xiaoru said directly: "In the past dynasties, I have never heard of an emperor personally attending the full moon of the princess's son, and it has never happened to the Taizu of this dynasty. Therefore, I would like to advise your majesty not to attend the full moon of the eldest princess's son."
Chen Xingshan also said: "As the saying goes, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the father is the son and the son is the son. No matter how good the relationship between Your Majesty and Her Majesty is, the Princess is also a minister and Your Majesty is the king. There is no reason for a king to attend the full moon of the son of a minister!"
Others also remonstrated. In the end, Yunxi could only agree not to attend. However, Yunxi ordered the princess Yunying and the consort Cao Che to bring their sons into the palace in the afternoon. There were precedents for such things in previous dynasties, so it was okay.
Not long after noon, Yunxi had just finished his nap, and Yunying and Cao Che entered the palace with their son. It seemed that they had entertained guests in the mansion for a while at noon and then came to the palace.
Also coming were the three unmarried princesses. After getting off the carriage at Qianqingmen, Yunzhi ran into Qianqing Palace and chattered with Yunxi about Yunying's children. Yunzhi said: "Third brother
, let me tell you, Xiao Baoer is really fun..."
As she was talking, Yunying came in with her child in her arms. She bowed to Yunxi first, and when she got up, she smiled with Yunxi and said, "What did the fourth sister say with joy just now?"
Yunzhi said: "Sister, I'm saying how good my little Bao'er is."
Yunxi ignored their sisters' words and asked Yunying to put the child on the bed, stared at him, and asked: "Yunzhi has been talking about Bao'er just now, why don't you name him Cao Bao?"
Yun Zhi said: "I didn't think of this just now. If it were called Cao Bao,..." Then she couldn't hold it back and started laughing. Yun Lan and Yun Yun also understood the homophony of this name and couldn't help laughing.
