Having said this, Zhu Song resigned, and Yunxi took his children and Yunzhi to leave Prince Wu's Mansion and returned to the palace.
On the way, seeing that Yun Hei's mood had recovered and he was talking to the guards quite normally, Yun Zhi couldn't bear it any longer and asked: "Brother Emperor, what did Uncle Twenty's words just say make Brother Emperor like this?"
Are you unhappy?" Since Yunxi succeeded to the throne, apart from learning that the rebellious three guards of King Qi massacred many people and the witchcraft case the year before, he has never expressed his bad mood so frankly, even if it was only for a moment.
After that, she immediately restrained her emotions. Yun Zhi was very curious about this, and because she was a princess, it would not be a problem even if it involved court matters, so she asked directly.
"It's because I heard about the Jianzhou Jurchen with braids on the back of her head." Yunxi said.
"It's indeed unusual for men to have braids on the back of their heads, but it's not worth being so upset, right?" Yunzhi asked again.
Yunxi sneered and didn't answer. There was no way to tell Yunzhi what he was thinking.
Seeing that Yunxi didn't answer, Yunzhi thought it was related to important court affairs, so she stopped asking and talked about something else: "Brother, the emperor has mobilized some of the troops of all the uncles and brothers in the whole north. It can be seen that next year, we will
The battle of Samarkand is very important; since it is so important, brother, will you go to the northwest to supervise the battle? Just like the battle of conquering Annan?"
"Brother is not going to supervise the war, but because many things are difficult to deal with in the capital, it is easier to deal with them closer to the front line of the war."
"The two brothers also took this opportunity to inspect various parts of the country to know the details of the local areas, which will also be beneficial to dealing with matters in these places in the future." Yunxi did not deny that he was going to the northwest, but he denied that he was going to supervise the war.
But for Yunzhi, as long as she knew that he was going to the northwest, it didn't matter what he was doing. She immediately said: "Brother Huang, take your sister with you when you go to the northwest."
"What are you doing?" Yunxi was surprised.
"Let's go to the northwest and take a look." Yunzhi said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"No! How can there be any reason to take the princess with you on patrol?" Yunxi flatly refused.
"In the second year of Jianye's reign, the emperor's brother visited Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He took his sister and niece Min with him. He took two princesses with him."
"How can going to the northwest be compared with going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang? There will be a war in the northwest!"
"Is the emperor going to personally command the army to fight the army of Samarkand?"
"Of course my brother won't lead the troops personally, but he may not go to the front line."
"If Brother Huang goes to the front line, he should leave his sister in Xi'an."
"There is currently no canonized vassal king in Xi'an. How can my brother leave you alone in Xi'an?"
"Then it's okay to let my sister go back to Kaifeng. There are fifth uncles and elder brothers Youdou in Kaifeng Mansion. The emperor will definitely not transfer them all to the northwest to join the army."
"Kaifeng isn't..., no, my brother hasn't agreed to take you to the northwest yet, why did he end up here?"
Seeing that her words had no effect, Yunzhi hurriedly said: "Brother, please take my sister to the northwest. My sister has been staying in the capital and feels very boring."
After hearing this, Yunxi understood what Yunzhi meant: she actually didn't care where she was going, she just didn't want to stay in the capital and wanted to go to other places.
While Yunxi secretly smiled bitterly at how she was different from her sisters and wanted to run outside so much, she began to seriously consider whether she could take Yunzhi with her.
Of course it's not allowed to take Yunzhi with you publicly in the name of a tour, but you can take her out of Beijing with you in the name of 'visiting relatives'. There is more or less a name, and the civil servants will not give in to remonstrate in vain.
However, Yunxi still felt that he was going on a patrol, but the main purpose was related to the war. He didn't plan to take any concubines with him this time, but it was not good to take Yunzhi with him.
While he was thinking about it, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the palace and drove into the imperial city from Xihua Gate. Yunxi turned his head and said to Yunzhi: "Brother, think about this again and I will tell you after I think about it. Anyway, I am not in a hurry here." How many days."
"Yes, Brother Huang. My sister is waiting for news from Brother Huang." Yunzhi said. Pursuing too closely may be counterproductive. Moreover, even if you coax Yunxi into agreeing at this time, you can regret it later. This is not just on paper. His Majesty's decree.
Soon the carriage arrived at Qianqing Gate. Yunxi and Yunzhi got out of the car with several children in their arms, and said, "Min'er, take your brothers back."
"Dad, will you go to Kunning Palace later?" Min'er asked.
"Dad sat for a while in Qianqing Palace and then went to Kunning Palace." Yunxi actually planned to go to Miaojin's Yanxi Palace tonight. During the Chinese New Year, things were busy inside and outside the palace, and many of them were related to the queen. He There was too much time to rest in Kunning Palace, so I planned to change places tonight. But seeing Min'er looking at him longingly, it was difficult for him to say anything.
'Stay in Kunning Palace for a while, coax Min'er to play with Xianqin and others before leaving.' He could only plan this way.
Naturally, Min'er didn't know Yunxi's plan, so she happily returned to Kunning Palace with her younger brothers, surrounded by eunuchs and maidens.
Yunzhi bowed and bowed, then returned to her palace with the palace maid.
When Yunzhi got on the sedan, Yunxi also raised his feet to walk towards the Qianqing Palace. Although usually no memorials would be sent to Beijing during the Chinese New Year holiday, but it would be different if there was something urgent. So even if he He had no intention of socializing with the vassal ministers all day long, and would come to Qianqing Palace to ask if there were any memorials that needed to be dealt with.
He really came at the right time today. As soon as Yunxi walked into the gate, he saw Chen Ji, the man on duty today, stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Beiping Prefecture, there is an earthquake in Beiping."
It turns out that just last month when everyone was preparing to celebrate the New Year, an earthquake occurred in Peiping. Although it was not large, some people died and many simple houses were destroyed. The local government opened the Changping Granary for relief and borrowed Local temples and Taoist temples temporarily housed the homeless victims while they flew to the capital.
"The farmers affected by the disaster will be exempted from taxes next year." Yunxi looked at it, expressed his approval of the Beiping Prefecture's handling, and wrote this at the end.
"Are there any other memorials?" Yunxi asked again.
"Your Majesty, there is only one memorial today." Chen Ji replied.
"In that case, you should hurry up and send the memorial to the General Affairs Department."
Chen Ji accepted the order and hurriedly left Qianqing Palace to deliver the memorial. Yunxi looked at his back and pondered for a moment.
If Yun Zhi hadn't mentioned the Eastern Tour in the second year of Jianye's reign today, he would have forgotten that Chen Ji had been an official by his side for more than three years, which was only later than Yang Pu, Jin Shan and others who had been officials by his side. After half a year, I am now a senior member of Zhongshushe.
Yunxi still admires Chen Ji very much, and must not let everyone mistakenly think that he is not taken seriously. Although anyone who is an official in the cabinet can understand that this is nonsense, there are many officials in foreign dynasties, and there are always those who cannot see clearly. Chew your tongue blindly.
"This year I will go on an expedition to the northwest. Let's take him with us. When we return to the capital, I will appoint him to a very suitable official position."
Yunxi immediately picked up the pen and took out a small notebook, wrote this sentence in words that only he could understand, and hid the notebook.
He then took a shower and headed to Kunning Palace.
But as soon as he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, he saw the guard Zhang Wuji standing in front of him and bowing in salute. He couldn't help but be very curious: "Zhang Wuji, what do you want to report to me?"
"Your Majesty, on the way to Prince Wu's Mansion, didn't Your Majesty instruct me to bring some pendants of Emperor Zhenwu over tomorrow? Just now while waiting in front of Prince Wu's Mansion, I met my neighbor who lived in a public rental house and asked him to help me. I brought a few pendants from the house where I live and present them to His Majesty." Zhang Wuji said.
"Very good, very good." Yunxi praised. Zhang Wuji gave him what he wanted now, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter and deserves praise.
But Yunxi didn't know which one to keep. He had always taken advantage of the Buddhist and Taoist families and was always impartial. He never had pendants from either family on his body, and neither family was placed in the Qianqing Palace. Ornaments; besides, this thing is for Yun Zhi, and he doesn’t know Yun Zhi’s preference for it.
Yunxi thought for a while and said: "I will keep these items for now and return them to you after looking at them carefully."
"Your Majesty wants something like this himself?" Zhang Wuji made a judgment immediately after hearing Yunxi's words.
He was immediately disappointed. He thought that the emperor suddenly believed in Emperor Zhenwu, so he wanted this pendant.
But regardless of whether Yunxi wanted it for himself or not, he couldn't say anything. He just bowed and agreed, bowed and left.
Yunxi put these pendants on his body and went to Kunning Palace.
After having a meal and taking a nap at noon on the second day, Yunxi left the Yanxi Palace and went to the Qianqing Palace to complete the review of the few memorials. He ordered Hu Yan, the member of Zhongshushe who was on duty today, to send them to the General Affairs Department. I got up and went to Kunning Palace again.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Min'er, Siqi and others building a snowman in the yard. Their faces were full of joy, and they kept piling the snow together and took a few objects to place them. The area around the head serves as the eyes, nose and mouth. At this moment, Miner heard the eunuch's voice, threw the snow in his hand aside, and ran to Yunxi's side with a slightly proud voice. Said: "Dad, look at your daughter building a snowman!"
"Okay, okay, the pile is really good. But you still have to pay attention to safety and don't slip and fall to the ground." Yunhe said with a smile.
"I know." Min'er agreed casually, said a few words to Yunxi, and then continued to build another snowman.
Yunxi walked over, looked at a much taller person among several children, and joked: "Yunzhi, you are already a big girl, why are you still building a snowman here like them?"
"My sister is only fifteen years old, so she is no longer an adult! She is clearly still a little girl." Yunzhi also responded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, my fourth sister is still a little girl."
Yunxi joked with her for a while, then suddenly thought of yesterday's pendant, took out the pendants of Emperor Zhenwu, handed them to her and said, "Which one do you like better?"
Yunzhi took the pendant, carefully selected it for a long time, took out one of them alone and said, "Brother, my sister thinks this is good, will you hang this in the future?"
'This jade pendant looks very similar to the jade pendant Zhang Wuji wears. It's about the same style.' Yunxi thought to himself, and then said: "Isn't the concubine a believer in Guanyin Bodhisattva? It can make you hang Zhenwu around your neck."
Great Emperor?"
"I won't hang it on my chest, but put it close to my body so that my mother can't see it." Yunzhi said with a smile.
"You really have a way." Yunxi said, not knowing whether it was because of Noyu or something else.
Yunzhi didn't care, she agreed casually, walked into the hall, and was served by the palace maid, who placed the jade pendant close to her body.
Yunxi also walked into the main hall, helped Xiyao who was saluting, and sat with her to talk for a while. It was already dark.
Min'er and Siqi walked in, and called Wenyuan and Wenqi over. The family had dinner together. Yunxi played with his children for a while, and after Min'er couldn't hold on anymore, he went to sleep.
I also went to rest.
In the next few days, because all the matters to be discussed with the vassal king had been discussed, Yunxi knew that he would stay in the northwest for a long time this year, so he spent most of his time with his children until the tenth day of the first lunar month.
