Chapter 50 Old Zhu himself said that he would be crowned emperor
When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu looked up at Yunxi and joked: "Yunxi, what are you doing? You look exhausted?"
Seeing that even the eunuchs had gone out, Yunxi said: "Grandpa, I am very busy this afternoon. I have to finish the work that has been piled up for several days quickly, especially those from the Sanqin, Bashu, and Yunnan generations; if this is the case, it will be enough." Forget it, there are also generals from Guangdong, Fukian and other places who can’t understand what they are saying at all. It’s really exhausting both physically and mentally.”
Lao Zhu said with a smile: "It's hard to understand the people in Guangdong and Fujian, so when I chose Hanlin bachelor's degree, I specifically looked for those Jinshi who were from the border areas but could speak Mandarin well. You will encounter this again in the future. If you don’t understand what they are saying, just go to the Hanlin Academy to find them.”
Yunxi said: "Grandpa is really thoughtful, and I will no longer be afraid to talk to them from now on."
Lao Zhu put down the book in his hand and said, "Yunxi, go have dinner with grandpa."
Yunxi was getting what he wanted, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
Yunxi helped Lao Zhu to the dining hall, where the hot soup had been prepared. Lao Zhu drank a bowl of soup first, and while serving the food, he said to Yunxi: "The Qintian Supervisor and the Rites Department have determined that the nine The 29th of the lunar month is a good day. Although the time is a bit urgent, there is already a precedent for Biao'er to be crowned the prince. "Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little sad. He paused and then continued: "The people from the Ministry of Rites There is also evidence to rely on; I have asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare and officially canonize you as the emperor's grandson on September 29th."
In fact, the reason why Lao Zhu insisted on completing the ceremony of canonizing the emperor's grandson in September is because Yunxi will start presiding over the "Bao Chao War" in early October, and it may not be successful. If it fails, by then If you then canonize Yunxi as the grandson of the emperor, there will inevitably be criticism. It is better to complete the canonization now and settle the matter.
Yunxi was obviously shocked and almost threw the bowl of soup in his hand; but it didn't matter even if he threw the bowl, Lao Zhu could understand his emotions.
Yunxi turned his head and said to Lao Zhu: "Grandpa, this..." Then he didn't know what to say and was suddenly stuck here.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since I have chosen you as my successor, I will not change it easily."
Yunxi felt that it was inappropriate to say anything, so he could only remain silent. However, Lao Zhu did not have any objection to him because of this, after all, he knew that Yunxi was not good at words.
Then the grandson and grandson followed the ancient saying of "eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking" and had a peaceful meal.
After the meal was finished, Lao Zhu still had to deal with the memorial, and he knew that Yunxi had just confirmed that he would be the emperor's grandson and needed time to digest this huge good news, so he did not leave Yunxi to speak and let him return to the palace.
Yunxi was now filled with a huge sense of joy, and could not remember anything else.
Wang Bu also already knew that the canonization ceremony of the emperor's grandson would be held on the 29th. He finally let go of his worries and was happy along with him.
The two of them walked into side roads several times, and the little eunuch who was following them reminded them, and they came to their senses and walked back to the right path. They walked all the way, and it took twice as long as usual to get back. Arrive at Wenhua Hall.
As soon as Yunxi entered the door of Dongnuan Pavilion, Wang Jin came to greet him. Wang Jin originally wanted to ask Yunxi if he had eaten. If he hadn't eaten yet, he prepared some snacks to make a cushion and immediately went to the dining room. Cooking; but as soon as Wang Jin came to greet them, he noticed the joy on the faces of Yunxi and Wang Bu.
Wang Jin immediately asked: "Your Highness, what happy event happened today?"
Wang Bu rushed to answer: "Your Majesty told His Highness today that he will be officially canonized as the Crown Prince on the 29th!"
Wang Jin immediately beamed with joy, knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
The eunuchs nearby also knelt down and said in confusion: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Yunxi smiled and said, "Everyone, get up." Wang Bu also quickly stepped forward to help Wang Jin up.
The young eunuchs also got up one after another. At this moment, Wang Xi and Wang Gong also brought the young eunuchs out. They didn't hear clearly what the people outside the door were saying just now, but they heard the hustle and bustle outside the door.
He came out and asked: "What's going on? What happened, so many people are talking? Ah, His Highness is back."
This time, a eunuch rushed to say: "His Majesty has decided to officially confer His Highness as the Emperor's Grandson on the 29th!"
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then with a happy look on his face, he was about to kneel on the ground; Yunxi immediately stepped forward to help him, and said: "You just received twenty lashes the day before yesterday (see Chapter 34), and now you are still injured, kneel down
do what."
Wang Xi struggled twice but couldn't. After all, Yun Xi had practiced riding and shooting since he was a child and was stronger than Wang Xi, who was about the same age as him. He could only say: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
No one stopped the other new eunuchs. They all knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Yunxi still smiled and asked them to get up. At this time, Wang Jin approached Yunxi and said quietly: "Your Highness, this happy event should make everyone happy, and it will also be beneficial to Your Highness."
Yunxi reacted and immediately said: "This month, all the eunuchs in Dongnuan Pavilion will be rewarded with a month's monthly regulations. Wang Jin, please take some more from my monthly regulations. From today to the 29th, all the eunuchs will be rewarded with monthly regulations."
As long as the eunuchs of the Hua Palace come to our Dongnuan Pavilion, they will be given a handful of coins (coins) as a reward."
Yunxi originally had no money to reward his subordinates, because according to the rules set by Lao Zhu, there was no monthly salary for the princes and grandsons who were not married or who were not divided into houses; but because Yunwen and Yunxi came out to do things, Lao Zhu followed the rules.
According to the standards of the county king, the two of them were given monthly bonuses, so Yunxi had money to reward others at this time.
All the eunuchs present knelt down and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." This time the voices sounded a little more sincere than before.
Yunxi listened to the words of his servants and secretly reminded himself not to get too carried away. It doesn't matter if the eunuchs in the palace reward him earlier or later, but he must not be so careless about things outside.
Wang Jin and Wang Xi called the other eunuchs to get up, and asked someone to go to the dining room of Wenhua Palace to ask the imperial chef to prepare food for an extra meal. It was so late that there were only a few people on duty, and Wang Jin specifically asked not to disturb the imperial chef who was already resting.
, just let the people on the night shift fry a big pot of vegetables (must include meat) and stir-fry some rice. "Tell the imperial chef to hurry up," Wang Jin said.
At this time, most of the kneeling eunuchs had already gotten up. Wang Bu said: "It's already cold outside the palace at night in September. Your Highness, you'd better go in and don't freeze outside."
Yunxi looked at the eunuchs around him, realized what this meant, and hurriedly walked into the palace; the eunuchs outside the palace were obviously relieved and followed him in.
Entering the palace, the eunuchs who had duties in the palace and could not go out just now also congratulated Yunxi, and Yunxi responded one by one. Yunxi returned to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and came out again.
The people are happy together.
After a while, the royal chef of the dining hall brought the food to the Dongnuan Pavilion with his helpers. If he didn't flatter me now, how could he wait? The royal chef delivered the food to the special dining hall with a very dogged attitude and was affectionate.
Chatting with Wang Xi, who was in charge of contact, when Yunxi came over, he knelt down and said "congratulations" repeatedly.
Yunxi knew that he was deliberately stalling for time so that he could see him, but he could also understand people's desire to flatter him, and since he was happy today, he didn't care. He took out five ounces of money from his body and threw it to the imperial chef; Wang Jin
He had already gone out with the tray containing the coins.
The imperial chef was even more happy after receiving the reward, and kowtowed again and again. Thinking that he would be offensive if he stayed any longer, he thanked him and went out.
Yunxi was busy preparing the meal. Except for those who had to stay behind for necessary duties, he called everyone over. Everyone who had duties also left their meal.
Yunxi also had fun with the people and ate together; the imperial chef also brought a bottle of wine, and everyone except Wang Jin took a sip of the wine. They celebrated like this for an hour before they dispersed.
