When Zhu Di arrived in the capital, it was already the end of April. From mid-April to the end of April, Yunxi did not make any major changes. The mainstream topic in the court was still about the allocation of provincial candidates.
The problem.
However, some people remembered that Yunxi also said that he would add mathematics-related content to the imperial examination content, and tried to discuss this matter. However, most people were still immersed in the state of arguing with people from the same province and different prefectures.
Among them, very few people paid attention to whether there was an increase in mathematics assessment, so there was no big wave.
When Zhu Di came to the capital, he asked his wife to settle down at Prince Yan's Mansion first, while he asked to see Yunxi.
When Zhu Di asked for an audience, Yunxi was receiving Guo Hongtao, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard who came from Fengyang and now serves as the commander of the Fengyang Central Guard.
Guo Hongtao served as the commander of the Jinyi Guards for three or four years in the last years of Hongwu, and he mastered a lot of secrets. Fortunately, when he was the commander, the Hu Weiyong case had been completely ended with the murder of Li Shanchang's family, and later Zhu Yuanzhang never returned.
A big case was revealed, so he was able to safely retire from the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard and became the commander of an ordinary guard post.
Two years after Guo Hongtao served as the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yunxi had already become the emperor's grandson and had some contact with Guo Hongtao. In Yunxi's view, Guo Hongtao's abilities were quite good and he was very suitable for being an intelligence agency.
person in charge.
Yunxi originally wanted Guo Hongtao to serve as the head of a newly established foreign intelligence agency, which would be a good use of his resources. But Yunxi now changed his mind.
First of all, there is no urgent need to establish a foreign intelligence agency now, and even if it has been established for a while, it does not have much business, so there is no need to establish a separate agency.
The second is the sequelae of the corruption case in the inner palace. Yunxi is now uneasy about a single internal intelligence agency. I will not cite the example of the Guo Party, which has led others to build a party branch in the confidential office of Chang Gong.
The two intelligence agencies are completely useless. However, even Soviet Russia reorganized the Cheka several times after Dzerzhinsky, which shows that the intelligence agencies cannot be controlled by one person.
Therefore, Yunxi now wants Guo Hongtao to set up another intelligence agency, which can exercise internal supervision powers independently from the Jinyiwei currently controlled by Qin Song.
However, Yunxi did not want Qin Song to think that he did not trust him, and Yunxi did not distrust Qin Song, so he still had not made a decision on how to establish this organization.
However, Yunxi still had a good attitude towards Guo Hongtao, which made Guo Hongtao feel strange.
Yunxi was talking to Guo Hongtao, when suddenly the young eunuch Huang Lu came in and said something to Yunxi. Guo Hongtao was not far away from Yunxi, and Huang Lu did not deliberately suppress his voice so that only Yunxi could hear it.
, so I heard words such as "Prince".
After listening to Huang Lu's words, Yunxi said to Guo Hongtao: "Guo Aiqing, please retire today. I will call you if I have anything to do." Then Yunxi watched Guo Hongtao retreat and went to the dormitory. There is no need to wear it when seeing relatives.
It's too formal.
Yunxi changed his clothes and returned to the side hall, but Zhu Di came to the side hall just at this time, and the two met at the entrance of the hall.
Who was Zhu Di? He immediately guessed that Yun Xi had gone back to his dormitory and changed his clothes. When he took a closer look, he saw that he had changed into plain-colored home clothes, and he immediately felt relaxed.
Zhu Di bowed and said, "I have met your Majesty."
Of course Yunxi immediately helped Zhu Di up.
Then the uncle and nephew entered the hall and started talking.
In fact, the two of them didn't know each other very well, and they didn't have much to talk about, so after chatting for a few words, Zhu Di mentioned one of the purposes of his visit today: whether he wanted to accompany Yunxi to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to pay homage.
Zhu Di was mainly afraid that Yun He would be taboo about this, so he asked specifically.
Naturally, Yunxi was not taboo about this, and he agreed with Zhu Di to accompany him to Xiaoling in a relaxed tone, although the etiquette was definitely different from that of the emperor.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Di carefully mentioned the second purpose of his visit today after talking about some things in Peking: "Your Majesty, when I came from Peking a few days ago, I happened to meet my 20th brother who was going there.
Liaodong took office. I also told him some experiences in governing the local area..."
Zhu Di said a lot of words. Yunxi was originally wondering. He and Zhu Di were not very familiar with each other. Why did Zhu Di say these things to him?
But after Yunxi listened for a while, he suddenly understood: On the surface, Zhu Di was talking to me about Zhu Song, but in fact he was talking about his own fiefdom.
But Yunxi still couldn't give Zhu Di a positive response. Frankly speaking, Yunxi had almost forgotten about adding Zhu Di to the title. There was no way, he had too many things and wanted to change too many things.
Moreover, the places that Yunxi thought were suitable for Zhu Di to seal were not within the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to seal them now. So Yunxi could only pretend not to hear what Zhu Di meant.
After Zhu Di finished speaking a lot, he saw that Yun Xi didn't express anything and understood what Yun Xi meant, so he was a little disappointed. Fortunately, Yun Xi had already sealed four princes and left, so Zhu Di did not give up hope.
Finally, Zhu Di mentioned: "Your Majesty, when I passed through Shandong, I saw that the White Lotus Sect in Shandong is quite powerful. Your Majesty had better pay more attention to it."
Yunxi said: "Really? Isn't the White Lotus Sect always more rampant in the northwest? How come it still has some power in Shandong?"
However, Yunxi immediately thought of the Tang Saier uprising/rebellion in history. This was in Shandong. It can be seen that the White Lotus Sect in Shandong did have some power.
So Yunxi also continued: "My nephew will remember it and will tell Shandong Province."
Then they had nothing to say, and Zhu Di bowed and left.
When Zhu Di returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, Gao Xu immediately came up to him and said, "Father!" He had known for a long time that his father Zhu Di would come to the capital, so he asked for leave in advance and waited at Prince Yan's Mansion. Today, he finally waited for his parents.
Zhu Di now has three sons. Although the third son Zhu Gaosui is his favorite, he also likes Gao Xu better. He also laughed with Gao Xu and said, "How are you spending these days in the capital? You are twenty this year, what should you do?
Have you graduated from the Royal Academy?"
Gao Xu said: "The weather in Beijing is a little hotter than that in Peking, but it's not much different. It's actually warmer in winter, which is okay."
"As for graduation, because the Royal Academy was established after the emperor's brother succeeded to the throne, I don't think it will be possible this year, but it will be almost next year."
While the father and son were talking, Concubine Xu also came out with Gao Xu's wife Wei Shi to greet Zhu Di. Zhu Di had to say hello to his second daughter-in-law, whom he rarely saw.
But then Webster left. In this era, generally the father-in-law in the family does not have much communication with the daughter-in-law other than the eldest daughter-in-law.
Concubine Xu then asked Zhu Di: "Has your Majesty told you about the fiefdom?" She knew Zhu Di's second purpose.
Zhu Di shook his head and said, "No."
After hearing this, Concubine Xu was worried that Zhu Di would be unhappy, so she hurriedly tried to comfort him. But who was Zhu Di?
, it’s not bad to live in Peiping for the rest of your life.”
"It's just," Zhu Di continued, "I guess Master Daoyan will say something again."
