Yunxi was originally going to Yanxi Palace in Miaojin today, but since Princess Yan entered the palace to visit the queen, he turned to Kunning Palace halfway.
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Princess Wei of Yan was about to leave the palace. After bowing to Yunxi, she led the palace maids to turn around and leave. The guards of Prince Yan's Palace who were guarding the door followed her and left.
Without waiting for Yunxi to ask questions, Xiyao said: "Husband, Princess Yan told me something, and she should want me to relay it to husband."
"Princess Yan mentioned the meritorious service of King Yan's guards, and talked about their merits when they accompanied King Yan to put down the rebellion and the rewards King Yan gave them."
"In addition, Princess Yan, Wei Shi, mentioned that she would like to return to her hometown to visit relatives after the Chinese New Year."
"..."
After hearing this, Yunxi said: "I remembered that Gao Xu had previously reported that Zhang Wuji, the bodyguard sent by Wudang, had made great achievements. Gao Xu wanted me to reward them."
"In this case, I will issue a decree to reward these people tomorrow."
"However, this Zhang Wuji should be transferred back to the palace and not be allowed to be around Gao Xu."
"Zhang Wuji? I saw him when I came here just now. Why, doesn't Brother Yan like him? Brother Yan wants to transfer him back to the palace?" Such a sentence suddenly sounded behind Yunxi.
Yunxi was not surprised. Just now, the young eunuch had whispered that someone was coming. He turned around and smiled: "Fourth sister, you are already eleven after the Chinese New Year, and you still keep your husband's name on your lips like this.
Is it really good?”
Yunzhi is not like ordinary little girls, and she also knows that Yunxi is joking, so she also smiles and says: "Tch, is there anything I can't say about our bodyguard?"
Xiyao waited for them to say a few more words and then said: "Yunzhi, why do you want to see your sister-in-law today?" Although she has been in the palace for more than four years, she is still not used to the conversation between their brothers and sisters, so she asked.
Yunzhi said: "Sister-in-law, brother, my sister has something to ask of you." She looked pitiful.
Yunxi said: "You pretend, and you keep pretending. What big thing can you do? And with your temperament, if there is any big thing, you will have already made a big noise and everyone in the palace will know about it."
Yun Zhi saw that her act of pretending to be pitiful did not get sympathy, so she snorted and said, "Humph, the emperor doesn't dote on his sister. Even if he saw it just now, he shouldn't have said it clearly."
Yunxi said: "It is your future husband's business to pamper you from now on. I want to be Brother Yan."
After hearing Yunxi's words, even Yunzhi's face turned slightly red, but she recovered immediately.
After the jokes were over, the business started. Yunzhi said: "Brother and sister-in-law, can you change the palace where my mother and concubine and I live?"
Yunxi asked: "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Yunzhi said: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that the water seepage is too serious now. Since five years ago, water will seep out of the ground every summer, and more and more every year."
"It has become more and more serious in the past two years. It is already the twelfth lunar month this year, but there is still water seeping from the ground. Some seepage in summer is fine, but in winter it is life-threatening."
Yunxi said: "Why, is the water leakage in the harem already so serious?"
Xiyao immediately said: "Since the 29th year of Hongwu, it has indeed become more serious. Now even Kunning Palace has water seepage from time to time, not to mention Xianfu Palace, which is still north of Kunning Palace."
"I've been ordering people to renovate it for the past two years, but it hasn't had much effect."
Yunxi knew that the palace had to be renovated every year and knew about water seepage, but he did not expect it to be so serious. He asked: "Why didn't I find water seepage in Kunning Palace?"
"Husband, the main hall of Kunning Palace is built extremely high, so naturally there will be no water seepage."
Yunxi understood what she meant. After pondering for a moment, he said to Yunzhi: "No one has lived in the Yongshou Palace since the emperor's death last year. You should move there first."
Then he was silent for a while and then said: "Xiyao, don't build the palaces south of Kunning Palace. People who live in those places should also move away."
"Xiyi is in Jingren Palace, Baoqin is in Chengqian Palace, and Miaojin is in Yanxi Palace. It will probably be fine. The Zhongcui Palace where An and Liu live may not be suitable, so let them move to Yonghe Palace."
"As for these places where water often seeps, all the precious materials will be removed, all the masonry on the ground will be removed, and then converted into fields. I will plant rice in all these places. And each palace will allocate a place for farming."
Xiyao and Yunzhi were both a little stunned. They didn't expect Yunxi to do this. Xiyao said: "This, husband,..." She didn't finish her sentence.
Yunxi said: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, so we must pay attention to it."
Xiyao had recovered by this time and replied: "Yes."
Yun Zhize said: "Brother Emperor, I thought that the Emperor's grandpa filled the lake and built the palace, which was already domineering enough. I didn't expect that the Emperor's brother was as domineering as the Emperor's grandpa, and he even demolished the palace to grow rice."
Yunxi himself actually felt very domineering, but he smiled slightly and said nothing.
Then Yunzhi said a few more words to Yunxi, and then returned to her palace to preside over the moving matter.
After Yunzhi left, Xiyao took out a letter and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Princess Yan to my concubine. She said that King Yan wanted to give it to her husband."
Yunxi took the letter, said a few more words, and left. After he left, Xiyao said to herself with some confusion: "Why is the letter from King Yan to her husband delivered like this?"
…
"This is naturally a bit of King Yan's strategy."
"It's like he didn't write a letter to His Majesty about these things, but asked the princess to tell the Queen on his behalf. This is to get closer to the relationship between him and His Majesty."
"He is going to meet His Majesty now to avoid suspicion, but if he can't meet often, the family ties will naturally diminish. In order to prevent Yunxi from forgetting him, King Yan asked the princess to go to the palace to meet the Queen. His Majesty will naturally think of
King Yan will not be forgotten."
"It would be fine if the ordinary prince was forgotten. King Yan is quite ambitious and definitely does not want to live in the capital for the rest of his life. But His Majesty asked him to return to the capital for such a reason and made it clear that he did not want him to continue and sealed Peking. He had no choice but to
Just remind Yunxi and let him block it."
In the Duke of Wei's mansion, Xu Huizu commented on Zhu Gaoxu's behavior.
"Humph, it's not that your Majesty is petty-minded." Xu Zengshou said. He still didn't like Yunxi.
"His Majesty has such a broad mind that no emperor has ever done so before. You can afford it just by allowing the former King Yan to roam around the capital. How can you be so small-minded?"
"Humph!" Xu Zengshou snorted coldly and said nothing. He was impatient to continue talking to Xu Huizu here, got up and returned to his yard.
After he left, of course Xu Huizu had no one to talk to, but at this moment he suddenly took out a letter, read the contents carefully, and then called his old housekeeper and said: "The day after tomorrow, I will
We are going to invite Nie Wei, Wang Ming and other father’s old subordinates to a banquet, please make arrangements.”
