Before Xiyao told the story about Princess Fuqing, she imagined countless Yunxi's reactions, but she did not expect that Yunxi would say such a thing. For a moment, Xiyao didn't know how to continue.
Yunxi said: "Do you think I will order the punishment of Aunt Fuqing or ignore it? How is that possible? "Book of Rites: Liyun" says: Food and drink, men and women, human beings have great desires. Diet refers to eating,
Men and women refer to love between men and women, which is a very normal thing. Since Aunt Fuqing's consort has passed away and she is only thirty-three years old, it is normal that she cannot bear to be a widow."
'Then why were you so angry about Yunlan just now?' Xiyao thought in her heart. Of course she would not ask.
But even if she didn't ask, Yunxi could guess what she was thinking. Anyone would think of what happened to Yunlan just now.
Half of the reason why Yunxi was angry just now was that Yunlan fell in love with a married man, and the other half was because this matter was out of Yunxi's control.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yunxi always regarded the palace as his home, and the palace was indeed his home. In this case,
As a person with modern ideas at heart, he is not opposed to free love. If Yunlan fell in love with an unmarried guard and told Yunxi immediately, Yunxi might laugh and joke with her, then call the guard and announce
He will soon become the Prince Consort Captain.
But Yunxi, who has gradually been infected by power, can't bear to hide such things from the people close to him, so he is so angry about Yunlan. As the head of a family, Yunxi does not necessarily have to have his hand in everything.
But important things need to be known quickly.
The matter of Princess Fuqing was completely different. Princess Fuqing had already married and no longer lived in the palace, and Yunxi had never thought of controlling these aunts. He had no discrimination against widows remarrying, so he was not angry.
"But, when the emperor was in power, he never allowed any of his aunts to remarry. At that time, Aunt Anqing and Aunt Fuqing were already widowed, but the emperor did not choose a consort again," Xiyao said.
"But the emperor did not explicitly prohibit the princess from remarrying," Yunxi said.
As emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to adhere to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, and encouraged widows to remain widowed. He did the same to his own daughters. Historically, none of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty remarried after being widowed.
Of course Yunxi could not accept such a thing. No matter how much the Three Principles and the Five Constant Principles are propagated, the people will still rebel if they have no food to eat, and the gentry will still betray the Ming Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty cannot meet their demands. There are individuals who betray the class, and there are no
A class that betrays its interests, and a few nerds cannot change this situation.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty has a small population, and it is a huge waste of human resources to confine widows who are still fertile.
If he were not afraid of being accused of being unfilial, Yunxi would have wanted to release all his childless young concubines from the palace and let him get married after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
Now that Yunxi has made up his mind, Xiyao will not go against Yunxi and says: "Then I will talk to Aunt Fuqing and allow Aunt Fuqing to remarry?"
"Well, you talk to Aunt Fuqing, but don't make it public." Yunxi said.

The dragon raises its head on the second day of the second lunar month is a festival designated as a holiday by Yunxi. Starting from the third day of the second lunar month, it is the day when countless schools in the capital, including the Martial Arts Hall, the Royal Academy and the Imperial Academy, start school.
Yunxi originally wanted to go to Jiangwu Hall to arrange tasks in Jiangwu Hall after attending the opening ceremony, but because the Yunlan incident affected his mood, he postponed the assignment.
It was at this time that the memorial jointly sent to the capital by Yang Ren and Zhang Yanfang came to Yunxi. Although this was a happy thing, Yunxi was not as happy as Yang Ren imagined. However, he was still in the credit book.
I made a note to both of them.
Yunxi then began to search for soldiers similar to Yang Feng in the army. When he met with officials from the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the commander of the Shangzhiwei, he promoted the need to promote outstanding soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and used Yang Feng's characteristics as a symbol of the Ming Dynasty.
The characteristics of outstanding soldiers were publicized. As a result, everyone in the capital launched a campaign to find talents like Yang Feng. Although no one knew the truth of the matter. However, with the efficiency of the feudal era, there would be no results for a while.

The palace is a place where gossip spreads very quickly. Although Yunlan had washed her face before leaving Kunning Palace on the first day of February, countless people in Kunning Palace saw Yunlan leaving Xiyao's dormitory with tears stained on her face.
Come out and then wash your face with water.
Countless rumors quickly spread in the palace, and there were various speculations. Most people thought that Yunxi wanted to marry her to a person who Yunxi was very optimistic about but whom Yunlan had met before. The nobles in the capital were
I guessed it all. Fortunately, no one who knew the inside story dared to tell anyone, so the truth was not exposed.
Xiyao personally ordered the execution of seven palace maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace. Several servants in other palaces were also executed. More than fifty people were killed in the entire palace, so that no one dared to spread rumors.
But those who knew the truth understood what was happening when the rumors first spread.
"Second sister, is the love between a man and a woman really so unforgettable?" Yun Zhi said to Yun Lan.
Yunlan and Yunyun understood what happened on the second day of February. They did not dare to ask Yunxi and Xiyao, and after being patient for a few days, they came to Yunlan. Yunlan had nothing to hide and told them very frankly.
Understand the ins and outs of the matter.
Yunzhi was puzzled by this question and couldn't help but ask.
Yunlan smiled and said to her: "Fourth sister, you are still young. When you grow up in two years, you will understand."
"But the third sister is already fourteen, and has seen many of the imperial brother's guards, but they are not like you, the second sister?" Yunzhi asked again.
Yun Lan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yun Yun, and after a while she smiled and said, "Maybe this is because people are different."
Yun Zhi and Yun Yun looked at Yunlan curiously, not understanding what she said. But Yunlan did not continue to explain and said: "You must not be like me."
"Why? I see, second sister, that you are very happy when you think of this matter?"
"You don't understand. It's really sweet to fall in love with someone, but if you can't stay with them forever, it will be a lifetime of pain."
"Why?"
Yunlan stopped answering this question and said, "It's getting late, you should go back."
But Yun Zhi still couldn't understand what Yun Lan said. After thinking over and over to no avail, she secretly made up her mind: 'One day, I must understand what the second sister said.'
