(There is one thing that I feel does not need to be thanked, so I omitted it, so the last chapter was also revised at the end.)
According to the schedule, Yunxi stayed at Chengqian Palace in Baoqin today, so he came to Chengqian Palace again in the evening. Wen Yao's birthday had already passed at noon, and Yunxi was busy for a long time in the afternoon, and he was not in the mood to continue.
After coaxing the child, he came to Chengqian Palace, said a few words to Wen Yao with a kind face, and collapsed on the Arhat bed. Bao Qin, who was discerning, also hurriedly took Wen Yao down.
After that, he held the qin to serve Yunxi. Yunxi spread it out and asked, "What does Xiyao mean?"
Yunxi was accustomed to calling people by their names, especially in the harem. Except for formal occasions, he never used other pronouns, which made people around him uncomfortable. However, since Yunxi is the person in charge, they can only adapt slowly, who
He also did not dare to argue with Yunxi against the provisions of the Ming Dynasty Huidian.
The movement of holding Qin paused for a moment, and then replied: "Yesterday, the Queen asked Wenyao to come over to talk, and today she sent someone to deliver something."
Yunxi said: "Well, Xiyao is becoming more and more like a queen. She also remembers such things and arranges them carefully, which is good." In ancient times, when the elders were still alive, the juniors' birthdays were not celebrated unless it was a full birthday or a crown.
Xiyao still remembered Wenyao's birthday and sent someone to give him a reward, so Yunxi praised her.
But Baoqin was muttering in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Baoqin arranged for the palace maid to come in and play gentle music for Yunxi to soothe Yunxi's mood. While listening to the music, Yunxi remembered something and asked: "You brought Wen Yao to meet your natal family today.
What did you say?"
The piano holder trembled slightly and his expression changed slightly, but Yunxi turned sideways and didn't notice it.
Bao Qin said: "What else can I say, it's just to let them meet Wen Yao, and then say that the children are so old, and then chat about family matters, that's all."
The real situation is different from this. Although Baoqin is not planning to seek the position of Queen of Xiyao, it is too difficult and requires killing the Xiyao sisters at the same time, so she does not consider it; but for the sake of her son, she also wants to stay outside the palace.
Make some preparations.
She asked her father that her eldest brother should make more friends with important people, and fight for a few battles in a place where he could make meritorious service and there were no big risks so that he could be promoted. She also tried to let her younger brother enter the Imperial College to study, so that he could become a civil servant in the future. There was no way she would have to blow pillows with Yunxi.
wind.
However, none of this could be said to Yunxi, as it would be taboo, so Baoqin talked about it casually, just to test whether Yunxi knew anything.
Yunxi didn't have the time to pay attention to what his concubines said when they met their parents, and the palace was a restricted area designated by Yunxi for the royal guards, so Yunxi didn't know what Baoqin said to his family at this time.
When he heard Baoqin's words, he didn't have any doubts, so it was over.
Wen Yao's birthday is on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, so it's the twelfth lunar month. It's okay in the city during the twelfth lunar month, and there's nothing going on in the countryside. Everyone is getting ready to celebrate the New Year.
The atmosphere in the city to celebrate the New Year after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month has gradually become stronger. People are no longer drafted into corvee service in various places, and all craftsmen are on holiday. Even the government tries to push things back as far as possible, basically until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Already.
Even the central court tried its best to postpone the matter until after the new year. Yunxi actually didn't like this, but he couldn't go against human nature, and everyone was lazy at this time of the year, and they were usually more diligent.
After discussing with the auxiliary officials, Yunxi officially announced new regulations on the 11th day of the twelfth lunar month: starting from this year, every year from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month will be a holiday. The yamen has sealed it, and those who want to return to their hometown can do so.
Chinese New Year, but be sure to come back on the 15th of the first lunar month.
It was also announced that from the first year of Jianye, three days of holidays will be taken from February to November every year on the fifth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth days of the lunar month, which is called the ten-day holiday; at the same time, on the basis of the original winter solstice holiday, an additional
The Spring Dragon Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival are official holidays, each with a day off.
Yunxi also announced that from the first year of Jianye, his birthday would be named Tongshou Festival, which meant that the whole world would celebrate the emperor's birthday together, and all officials would have a day off; Emperor Taizu's birthday would still be the Wanshou Festival, with hundreds of officials taking a day off.
The official is still sleeping.
Yunxi's series of holiday orders aroused cheers from officials. Especially the officials in the capital. The emperor was in the capital, and it was impossible to be as lazy as the local officials. Someone did the math and found that the official holidays of the Ming Dynasty were divided into three.
The number of days increased to fifty-seven or fifty-eight. Although it was still not as good as the Song Dynasty, it was already more than the Tang Dynasty, which made the officials very happy.
And even the most rigid Confucian disciples have nothing to say. Although there is no such thing as "better rest can lead to better work" in ancient times, but traditionally speaking, it is normal to give officials holidays.
In the Han Dynasty, officials could take one day off every five days, and in the Song Dynasty, the actual number of holidays for officials reached ninety-eight days.
It is actually in line with tradition to allow Xie to increase his vacation time, so no one will make any objections. And who dares to make objections about such a thing without being drowned in the comments of hundreds of officials? Even those who want to show that they love their work dare not
Take a break like this.
There are fewer things happening in the Qianqing Palace every day. Yunxi can finish answering the essays in less than half a day every day, and then he can chat with the newly established Tongshishe people, compete with each other, and enhance their feelings. Yunxi also allows himself
Look, although they are all talented people, what are they suitable for?
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, in order to express his importance, Yunxi went to the Royal Academy and the Yuxi Palace where Yunlan and other three princesses and several princesses were studying. He told the gentlemen and students: "From tomorrow, sir,
We all also take a vacation, and the prince/prince/princess/princess returns to study on his own.”
The royal children in the Royal Academy are very happy: they can finally stop going to school for the time being! Even Gao Xu, who loves strategic classes and martial arts classes, also likes to have a few days off.
When Yunxi announced this matter in the Royal Academy, he happened to see Gao Xu and asked casually: "Second brother, why hasn't your third brother (Zhu Gaosui) come to the capital to study yet?"
Gao Xu said: "Brother Emperor, because my mother-in-law dotes on my third brother the most, she keeps my third brother in Peiping to celebrate the New Year. He will come to the capital after the Dragon Head Raise."
When Yunxi came to Yuxi Palace again to talk about this matter, Yang Shiqi's reaction was slightly different. He said: "Your Majesty, I had your Majesty's permission to go back to my hometown to pick up my mother during the January holiday. Since returning to Beijing, I have been
Your Highness, Princess, has only been attending classes for five days, so why should you just rest like this?"
Do you see, the famous ministers in history are enlightened, no wonder they can become famous ministers in history, Yunxi sighed. However, Yunxi also felt that his three sisters stayed too long, and there should be a few more
He had classes on the same day, but he couldn't break the rules for Yang Shiqi, so Yunxi still said: "This is not okay. How can I break the rules because of you? You should go back and take a rest."
"However," Yunxi said, "Yang Qing can come on duty during the Chinese New Year, and he can come to teach them during his shift." Even if all employees are on holiday, in order to prevent emergencies, each yamen must keep someone on duty.
It's worth it. If there's any urgent matter, report it to Yunxi immediately.
After hearing Yunxi's words, Yang Shiqi felt relieved, saluted, packed his things and went home. However, the elder of the younger sisters was dissatisfied. Yunzhi pouted for a few days, and finally saw that Yunxi didn't respond, so he had to give up.
Starting from the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Yunxi also entered a state of vacation, but maybe God did not want Yunxi to rest like this. On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, an urgent matter was reported to Yunxi.
