While his concubines were talking to their relatives, Yunxi was discussing matters with the ministers in Qianqing Palace.
"I want to make my eldest brother a prince, what do you think?" Yunxi asked.
"His Majesty Taizong's eldest son is posthumously crowned? This is a very good move by Your Majesty." Xie Jin was the first to say. Not only him, but several other people also felt that Yun Xi's move was very good.
Zhu Xiongying was Zhu Biao's eldest son and legitimate son. He should have been the natural heir to the Ming Empire, but unfortunately he died young at the age of eight and was unable to inherit the throne of the Ming Emperor.
By naming him king, Yunxi could show that he missed his brother and valued family ties, which was of great significance.
"Then, dear friends, what kind of title do you think is better? It can't be heavier than the title I used before." Yunxi said again.
"How is Prince Zheng?" Bao Zhao said.
Yunxi shook his head: "The famous King Zheng in history did not end well."
"How about being crowned King of Han?" Xie Jin said.
"The King of Han is not bad." Yunxi thought it was good when he heard it. Now that the Chinese people are called Han people, it is good to confer Zhu Xiongying as the King of Han.
Since Yunxi thinks it's good, even if others have different opinions, they don't dare to say anything: even if Yunxi doesn't blame him, he still offends Xie Jin, and they all know that Xie Jin's heart is smaller than the eye of a needle, so they can offend him for such a thing. He's not worth it.
Yunxi actually thought about adopting one of his sons to Zhu Xiongying so that he could have descendants to worship him, but he quickly rejected it. As Zhu Xiongying is the most orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty, his nominal son will also become If Yunxi, the most orthodox heir to the Ming Dynasty, really wants to do this, I am afraid that the first thing Wenyuan will do after he succeeds to the throne is to kill this person.
The matter was settled in this way, and Yunxi immediately talked about the next thing. "In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Uncle Tan was worried about his death. Because the late emperor was too worried at that time, and Uncle Tan had no children to eliminate the country, so he did not receive a posthumous title. , there is no one to offer sacrifices. I decided to add the posthumous name of King Tan Wang Shu to Yang and list him in the temple for sacrifices." Yunxi said.
But although Yunxi said so, the truth was not the case. Historical records recorded that King Tan was worried about the death of the princess because her natal family was involved in the Hu Weiyong case. However, after Yunxi thought about it, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang valued his son so much that he did not care about his son. The reason for giving King Tan a posthumous title and leaving no one to worship him after his death was definitely not because of this incident.
But even Yunxi, who succeeded Zhu Yuanzhang to the throne after his death, could not find out the truth of the matter. Zhu Yuanzhang carried out a general purge at that time, and countless people related to the matter were killed. Concubine Guo Ning, who might have known the truth, remained tight-lipped. Although Yunxi made some guesses based on the traces left behind, but there was no evidence.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Yunxi. Yunxi added a posthumous title to Zhu Zi so that he could have someone to worship him to show his generosity and concern for the clan.
These ministers also expressed their approval. They didn't know what happened that year, but they could guess that it must be a shocking event, so they didn't think it would be a big deal even if Yunxi gave Zhu Zi a posthumous title with the character "Yang".
Yunxi discussed with them for a while, and finally completed the matter of formal sealing in a few days.
At this time, Yunxi turned his head and looked at the engraving, and saw that it was already late. He smiled and said: "My dear friends, today is the Lantern Festival, so I won't keep you in the palace any longer. Go back to celebrate the festival. ."
These ministers whom Yun He trusted also wanted to go home to celebrate the festival, bowed to Yun He and then left.
Yunxi stretched and was thinking about whether to go to the back hall in advance. Suddenly Huang Fu came over, raised a document with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is the record of the conversation between the concubines and their relatives just now."
"What on earth did they say that they sent it to me?" Yunxi said as he picked it up. Of course he would send people to monitor what they and their relatives said, but he also stipulated that if there was nothing offensive to him and very
He didn't personally read important things, the person in charge could just file them. So Yunxi was curious about what they said to make the person in charge want him to see it.
Yunxi looked at it and said with some surprise: "Concubine Chen, Concubine Ming and Concubine Yun, are they either asking their families to go to war, or are the families themselves wanting to go to war?"
However, no one agreed to his words. Huang Fu, Huang Lu and others just stood aside, watching their eyes, nose, nose and heart without making any movement.
Yunxi also knew that the servant would not dare to answer the conversation, so he stood up and paced. 'It's really surprising that my concubines are all militants and want to fight.' Yunxi thought.
"But this is good. When there is a war in the future, there will be clan members and relatives fighting in the front, so we don't have to worry about the censure of the civil officials." Yunxi said to himself.
However, it is not a good thing for these different foreign relatives to serve as officials in the country after making great achievements. As many foreign relatives have a place in the court, some people's thoughts that they should not have will appear, not only in the court, but also in the harem.
It will be a mess.
In order to prevent such a situation, what Yunxi did was to work hard to establish Xiyao's authority: he left all matters in the harem to her, never publicly refuted Xiyao's words, valued the Xue family very much, and established Wenyuan as the
The Crown Prince. But if these concubines had the support of the court, they might not be able to guarantee such a stable harem now. Not everyone is Xu Huizu and knows how to advance and retreat.
"If their merits can no longer be concealed, then choose a place in advance for their sons and let their families stay in the fiefdom." Yunxi said.
After deciding the matter, he picked up the records of the discussions with the ministers and looked at them, muttering to himself that he didn't know what he was talking about.
Until Huang Fu reminded: "Your Majesty, it is already the first quarter of noon. Do you want to go to the apse to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the Queen, the princes, princesses, and the empresses?"
"It's noon so soon?" Yunxi looked at the clock and said, "It's really the beginning of noon. Please help me change my clothes."
It was two-quarter noon when Yunxi arrived at the apse. All his concubines and the three younger sisters currently living in the palace, including Yunxi, had already arrived. When Yunxi walked in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Yunxi smiled and asked them to sit down. He took the main seat, looked around and saw no one was absent, and said to Huang Lu, "Let's serve the food."
Huang Lu bowed his head and agreed, and went out to pass on the food. Soon the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen came in with countless delicacies and began to serve them.
Today, Yunxi's position arrangement is as follows: he, his concubines, and three sisters sit at a large round table, and his eight children and Yunxi sit at another table.
On his left is Queen Xiyao, on Xiyao's right is Xiyi, and on the right is Yunlan,...; on the right is Miaojin, on the right of Miaojin is Yunyun, and on the right is Baoqin,...
He tried to separate his concubines as much as possible.
Yunxi knew very well that it was nonsense to expect the harem to be completely harmonious. Even if they did not use any vicious methods, they would at most be at odds with each other, maintaining a superficial harmony.
But he also wanted to bring all his concubines together, even if they just maintained superficial harmony, it would be a sense of accomplishment to see his harem together. He even called several palace painters over to let them
They hid behind the curtains and drew pictures of today's banquet. So Yunxi insisted on calling them all over to celebrate the festival together, and arranged the seats like this out of harmony.
