Soon it was the fourth day of the first lunar month. Wen Yin was born at the beginning of Yinshi on the first day of the lunar month. Today is the third day after his birth, the day of the third lunar month.
Because he was born to the queen and his son, the feudal princes in Beijing gave them exquisite gifts, mainly various types of necklaces and longevity locks, basically either gold or jade, or gold inlaid with jade, and even
The silver ones are rare; and they come in sets, and Wen Yin can't even wear them even if he has eighteen heads.
Ordinary people would not dare to give gifts like this now, but who calls them a royal family? Even a county king has received part of the land from his father, and now ordinary businessmen have to find shelter - there is nothing better than these.
The prince has better protection. They all take money from businessmen, so they are all rich.
According to Yunxi's investigation, even the princes who were under the age of the princes in the areas where the prince was entrusted had people taking care of them. Yunxi called all the princes to the capital, and also had the idea of saving them from harming a few local businessmen.
Yunxi accepted their gifts with a smile, and talked to acquaintances from time to time; Xiyao also came out to entertain the princess. It was lively for a long time, and most people dispersed after lunch. Zhu Bai originally also
He wanted to leave, but Yunxi stayed behind.
Yunxi took him to Qianqing Palace. After the two were seated respectively, Yunxi ordered Wang Xi to brew a pot of Biluochun, poured two cups, put one cup in front of Zhu Bai, and put one cup in front of Yunxi. Yunxi picked it up.
Started drinking.
Zhu Bai thanked Wang Xi and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
He took a sip, and the steam came out from the hot tea. Although it did not affect his vision much, Zhu Bai looked at it from this angle and felt that the lines on Yun He's face seemed to be much softer.
On November 26, he received the imperial decree and Yunxi's family letter, asking him to come to Beijing to pay tribute in the first month. Of course, he immediately felt that something must be going on.
‘Are you going to seal me overseas?’ Zhu Bai was thinking like this at the time. But he looked at the map carefully and felt that there was no place around the Ming Dynasty that could be sealed for the time being.
In the two and a half years since Yunxi's reign, everyone has figured out some of his ways of doing things. Everything will be foreshadowed in advance. Every prince has been prepared before the enfeoffment, but he has not seen Yunxi in the past year.
With such preparations, it is impossible to depose Fusang or the Korean king and let him do it.
So he was very strange. He could not figure out what Yunxi wanted him to do, so he came to the capital in a daze.
Just as Zhu Bai was thinking about it, Yunxi smiled and said: "Uncle Twelve, my nephew heard that you are now more and more proficient in Taoism research? Even the Taoist Master in the Taoist temple near Jingzhou cannot compare with Uncle Twelve."
"There is no such thing. After all, I am not as good as a real person who studies Taoism all day long, so I am far behind them. This is all touted." Zhu Bai said with a smile.
"Haha, my nephew, I heard that my twelfth uncle is now the most profound person in Jingzhou's Taoism, and he also preaches to others." Yunxi said with a smile.
"How can I preach to others? I just ask the servants in the house to worship the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Kings, and they don't count as others. But Qi Brother, I heard that Qi Brother has really turned to Buddhism now?" Zhu Bai said.
When he mentioned Zhu Yunxi, his expression became a little unnatural, but then he returned to his normal expression and said, "That's true. Starting from November of the first year of Jianye, Uncle Qi recited Buddhist scriptures every day and accumulated virtues and did good deeds. Already in November last year
I officially became a monk and became a monk under the name of Master Yinjie of Yuanjue Temple in Qingzhou."
When Yunxi first put down the rebellion and found out about this, he thought that Zhu Shu was just stimulated and couldn't think about it for a while. It happened that he also disliked Zhu Shu, so he asked him to stay in the local area and clean the streets. "The King of Qi swept the streets" for a time. It has become a famous sight in Qingzhou, and countless people from Shandong come with their families to watch the diorama.
But he didn't think that Zhu Shu was serious. According to Buddhist teachings, he was enlightened. He was sincerely doing good, sincerely worshiping Buddha, and repented wholeheartedly. Even the people of Qingzhou who had suffered a lot of harm from him in the past forgave Zhu Shu. The final seal was Master Jie accepted him as his disciple.
Yunxi was very surprised when he learned the news. Not only him, but also the entire elite circle in the capital was shocked. Countless people wanted to visit Yuanjue Temple in Shandong. Yunxi finally approved Zhu Su's children in Beijing to visit. They didn't know what happened there. After they came back, they all fasted, chanted Buddha's name, and started to believe in Buddhism.
Yunxi shook his head to get these thoughts out of his head. 'Why do you think of Zhu Su?'
He smoothed over his interrupted train of thought and smiled at Zhu Bai: "Is it possible that Uncle Twelve has achieved enlightenment like Uncle Seven and wants to become a monk? Why don't you ask Uncle Seven what he is doing?"
Zhu Bai shook his head: "I didn't. I just thought of Brother Seven."
Yunxi didn't want his thoughts to be messed up again, so he immediately talked to Zhu Bai about Taoism, took out the "Standard Missionary Doctrine" compiled by the "Missionary Association", handed it to Zhu Bai and said: "Uncle Twelve, read this When you look at this, what do you think of their writing?"
"This," Zhu Bai looked at the words on the cover for a moment after getting the book, and then opened it.
He browsed through it quickly and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, what are you doing writing this?"
"As the name suggests, it is for the convenience of preaching to the savages in the Northeast. Those savages don't even know Chinese characters, they can't speak Chinese clearly, and they can't understand the too complicated teachings, so I ordered people to compile this book. You how do you feel?"
'This is simply blaspheming Taoism!' Zhu Bai thought in his heart. Of course he knew that Yunxi sent people to spread Taoism in the Northeast, and he was very happy at the time; but now after seeing the "Standard Missionary Doctrine", he suddenly felt that such a distorted Taoism was still unacceptable. It's better not to pass it on.
Although Zhu Bai's words were not spoken, Yunxi already knew from his expression that he did not like this universal doctrine, and he secretly said it was a pity.
But now that he has called Zhu Bai to the capital, and Zhu Bai really believes in Taoism, he cannot change the plan.
Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Does Zhu Bai hope that Taoism will flourish?"
"Of course I hope it will be more prosperous than Buddhism," Zhu Bai said.
"In this case, is Zhu Bai willing to preach in person?" Yunxi asked again.
"Of course I do. But what I preach should be the true Taoism, not this somewhat distorted Taoism." Zhu Bai said.
"Well, Uncle Twelve is willing to go to Yongfan to preach in person?" Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty wants to seal me further north in Yongfan?" Zhu Bai asked.
"That's absolutely not the case. It's extremely cold in Yongfan. Even if there are people living further north, how many people can there be? What's the point of sending Zhu Bai to guard such a place?" Yunxi said.
Yunxi didn't say this from the perspective of family ties, but from the perspective of interests, which made it easier for people to believe, so Zhu Bai thought about it and accepted Yunxi's statement.
"But what is the purpose of allowing you to send me to Yongfan, other than to adapt to the environment there in advance?" Zhu Bai wondered in his heart.
"Is Zhu Bai willing to go to Yongfan to preach in person?" Yunxi asked again.
Although Zhu Bai didn't understand what kind of medicine Yunxi was selling in the gourd, he thought that Yunxi could not go back on his word, so he nodded and said, "I do."
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhu Bai: "The climate in Yongfan is cold. I'm afraid Jiudun (Zhu Bai's eldest son) can't adapt to it, so there's no need to go with him. It just so happens that Jiudun is seven years old this year and should enter the royal school."
Now, just stay in the capital."
Of course, Zhu Bai had no room for evasion and could only agree.
Yunxi said a few more words to him and asked him to retreat.
After Zhu Bai left the room, Yunxi said to himself: "Such a bold man, so persistent in the teachings of Taoism, are all true Taoists like this?"
"No, the group of people in Jinan are also true Taoists, and their Taoism is more profound than Zhu Bai's. Why are they not like him? It seems to be a personal reason."
"Send him to Yongfan to experience it for a year. I hope that when I summon him again next year, he will no longer be like this."
"Jiudun can never become like this. He must be educated well."
Then Yunxi shouted loudly: "Wang Xi!"
"My servant is here." Wang Xi immediately appeared and said.
"Send someone to tell Fang Mingqian that there is no need to go out to sea to explore this year, and let him and the soldiers in the fleet rest for a year."
"But it's not good to let them be completely idle for a year," Yunxi said: "At the same time, tell Fang Mingqian that he will be responsible for escorting Zhu Mengjiong to take office as the commander-in-chief of Yokohama." Considering the future use of Yokohama, Yunxi thought that Fang Mingqian and Zhu Mengjiong should be familiar with each other.
better.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The king was pleased to see that Yunxi had no other instructions, so he bowed and stepped back to find someone to give oral instructions.
…
…
The next few days were uneventful, with Xiyao peacefully recuperating in Kunning Palace, and Xiyi still living in Kunning Palace to handle palace affairs, take care of her sister, and look after Wen Yin.
Yunxi once again had a fierce conflict with others over Xiyao's postpartum cultivation methods. Zhu Yuanzhang was still in power when Xiyao gave birth to her first child. When she gave birth to her second child, Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, and Xiyi gave birth to Wen.
There was heavy bleeding during pregnancy, and it was a special situation. Yunxi didn't interfere much with postpartum care. Yunxi didn't care enough about the other concubines, and finally the conflict broke out this time.
Yunxi has always believed that women certainly need self-cultivation after childbirth, but the traditional Chinese way of confinement has many problems and must be changed; but how can the people serving in the palace think that Yunxi, a grown man, is right?
? Even if he is the emperor, he will not always do what he wants.
Yunxi had to come to Xiyao's dormitory every day and watch them open the gaps in the doors and windows for ventilation. He personally helped Xiyao walk around the room every day, watched the palace maids wipe Xiyao's body to keep it clean, and cleaned several
It would be better if the disobedient maid was driven out of the palace.
Xiyao's mother had some doubts, but Xiyao felt that Yunxi would not harm her, and Yunxi suggested that she should know a little bit about blood transfusion, so she accepted Yunxi's approach.
Just like that, the Lantern Festival has arrived again.
