Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu and his son left the palace. After saying a few words, the father and son separated and went to their own mansions.
Zhu Di returned to his mansion, and as soon as he walked through the door, his wife greeted him.
The former Princess Yan Xu Feixu said: "Husband, was it already confirmed when you sealed the title?"
"It's confirmed. Tomorrow, March 15th, we will set off with Yunzhen and others to Longwandu and take a boat to the fiefdom respectively." Zhu Di said.
"Then, I'd better stay in the capital for the next few days until I finish all the matters in the capital and go to Su Fan Kingdom with Gao Sui," Xu Feixu said.
"I think so too. Mrs. Zhang is pregnant, and it's best for Gao Sui to get married in the capital. The Su Fan Kingdom is too primitive, so you stay in the capital to organize Gao Sui's wedding, and also take care of Gao Chi's place. Wait.
After Zhang gives birth, Gao Sui’s wedding will be held," Zhu Di said.
Xu Feixu agreed.
"Also, please please the queen more. Although Concubine Chen is your sister, you still need to understand who the queen is!" Zhu Di said again.
Xu Feixu was full of reluctance, but she also knew that what Zhu Di said was right, so she replied: "I know."

On the morning of the next day, the king was officially sent to the throne, and Yunxi personally presided over the ceremony to see off his uncle and brothers.
After the ceremony, Yunxi looked at their retreating figures. He wanted to say something but in the end he didn't and returned to the palace.
======================================
Early the next morning, Yunxi went to the court and ordered the commanders of the other eleven upper and twelve guards, except the Jinyi Guards, to enter the palace to see them. After they finished their salutes, Yunxi immediately asked: "I asked you to count the numbers of the respective guards.
Do you have data on the number of disabled veterans?"
They didn't know what His Majesty was doing with the statistics, and they didn't know whether the number was too high or too low. They didn't want to speak first, and all looked at the commander of Jinwu's vanguard, Guo Ming. Guo Ming was Guo Ying's second son.
, Princess Shang Yongjia, is both a noble and a relative of the royal family, so everyone takes him as the leader. But speaking of it, the commanders of the Twelve Guards all have some background, otherwise they will not be able to control the people of this guard.
Guo Ming responded to his scalp and said: "Your Majesty, the Jinwu Vanguard has been disabled and retired over the years. Now they are under forty-five years old, and their bodies are relatively strong. There are a total of one hundred and seventy-one people."
"Is there just a few people?" Yunxi asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, these are the only people?" Guo Ming replied.
"Why so few?" Yunxi continued to ask.
Guo Ming was not sure what Yunxi's words meant, so he thought carefully and said: "Your Majesty, the Twelve Guards have always been the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In all the battles, more people were killed than injured."
"Besides, many disabled people will continue to serve in the army as long as they can still serve in the army. Not many people are retired."
"Continue to serve as a soldier? What kind of disability can continue to serve as a soldier?" Yunxi asked.
"For example, if you are blind in one eye, you can still see with the other eye; or if the cavalry is defeated, you can continue to serve as a soldier." Guo Ming said.
Yunxi was a little shocked for a moment: 'Such a person still continues to serve as a soldier? Why don't you retire?'
But Yunxi immediately understood: "If he retires, his son will step in. In order to save his son from suffering, he would rather continue to be a soldier; and after the soldiers retire, they have no job and want to do something to make a living."
These disabled people can't find it to subsidize the family, so it's better to continue in the military and the children can do something to make a living after training.'
Yunxi felt a little emotional and paused for a while before continuing to ask: "How many of these people have leg problems?"
Guo Ming did things very carefully this time, because his elder brother told him that 'Your Majesty often asks ministers for details', so at this time he said without any hesitation: "Your Majesty, the disabled veterans of Jinwu Vanguard who have leg and foot problems,
There are seventy-nine people in total, including thirty-five who can walk alone, thirty-seven who can walk with crutches, and seven who are disabled on both feet."
Yunxi knew that due to the limited disinfection level in this era, the probability of surviving with both feet injured was very small, so there were not many people.
But what he didn't know was that he couldn't do anything at home after being disabled with both legs. It was a complete drag and many people committed suicide, so there were so few people.
Yunxi thought for a while and said: "Those who are disabled on both legs and can walk on crutches will be given a pension of a certain amount."
Guo Ming immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Jinwu's vanguard soldiers."
The other commanders cursed Guo Ming in their hearts for being shameless, and knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, and I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the soldiers of this guard."
Yunxi said: "Everyone, get up." He also said: "These disabled people are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty. How can I not reward them more?" Besides, the twelve guards are equivalent to the emperor's personal soldiers, I
How could you not pay attention to it? Yunxi added in his heart.
Afterwards, Yunxi asked the commanders of other guards: "How many people do you have in each of your guards?"
These people were not as meticulously prepared as Guo Ming. Before Yunxi asked, they looked through the documents they had brought. After hearing Yunxi's words, they all replied: "Your Majesty, Jinwu's guard has been disabled and retired for many years. Now,
There are one hundred and eighty-one disabled people under the age of forty-five who are still physically strong, including forty-four who are disabled on both legs and who can only walk with crutches."
"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the government army..."
Yunxi listened to their report. Excluding those who were disabled on both legs and those who could only walk on crutches, each guard had about 120 to 140 qualified people, making a total of eleven guards.
The total number is about 1,400 people.
'It should be almost done, there are still some people left there.' Yunxi thought.
"Gather all these people together. I am of use. Let them gather in an open space to the west of the imperial city in the afternoon tomorrow. They will arrive before the time." Yunxi said.
These people still didn't know what Yunxi was using these disabled soldiers for, but since Yunxi didn't say anything, they didn't ask, and just replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yunxi asked a few more questions and asked them to retreat.
Afterwards, Yunxi immediately gave instructions: "Call Qin Song, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Guo Hongtao, the chief of the town department, Yin Huanghuai of Yingtian Prefecture, and Ru Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to come to the palace for an audience. In addition, call Xia Yuanji and Yang Zirong."
After a few of them arrived, Yunxi told them what he wanted to do and asked them to prepare separately. Some of them were very puzzled by Yunxi's actions and felt that it was a bit fussy, but since His Majesty had made up his mind, they
All I could do was comply, and after I made my promise, I left and went to prepare.
After Yunxi waited for them to retreat, he said to himself: "These things that make me feel uncomfortable should have changed long ago."
