Chapter 237 Guining

It was definitely not possible to return to Ning in three days. It was only five days after Zhu Xiongying and He Yuyao's wedding that he sent an order to prepare to return to Ning.

In fact, Lao Zhu is quite considerate. The concubines in the palace can summon their mother into the palace once a month. As for leaving the palace, they are not so free. As for men, don't even expect to enter the harem.

Even if Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, is a relative of Lao Zhu Qin Ding, he usually has to request permission many days in advance if he wants to enter the palace to meet his younger sister, Concubine Guo Ning. In other words, Concubine Guo Ning is Empress Ma's right-hand man, plus Lao Zhu and Guo

No matter how good the relationship between Britain and Britain is, there is an opportunity.

It is not so easy for other martial artists, even father and brother, to enter the palace.

The same is true for He Yuyao now. She can summon her mother in the palace, but it is difficult to get out of the palace. So it is not without reason that the palace gate is as deep as the sea. Sometimes it is really inconvenient.

.

He Yuyao is very excited. Although she is now married, she is also very dignified and honorable in the palace, without any difficulties that she was worried about before. But she has just left home, so she is still a little excited at this moment.

Gently lifting the car curtain and looking at the young man riding a horse, He Yuyao's heart was as sweet as honey.

Zhu Xiongying actually doesn't like to ride in cars, unless it's an extremely formal occasion, otherwise it's basically the minimum. Even though it's still the first month of the year, he just wears a cloak and rides a horse, so he doesn't feel cold.

He Rong was waiting in front of the house with the men of the house. Seeing the emperor's grandson dismounting and opening the curtain, the whole He family was even more excited.

He Rong took two steps forward and knelt down respectfully, "My Lord Dongguan, He Rong, comes to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. Your Highness Qianqiu."

Then he turned around slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Dongguan Bo He Rong, I would like to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, Your Highness!"

He Yuyao's heart was extremely complicated. She couldn't walk away and could only accept the ceremony. She knew very well that this scene had been decided the moment she entered the palace. It was only the last time for her to bow to her parents before leaving the palace. From now on, it could only be hers.

Her parents paid homage to her. Even if her parents passed away in the future, the most she would do was stand.

Turning slightly sideways, He Yuyao endured the pain and said, "Uncle Dongguan, please get back on your feet."

He Rong was even more serious, "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."

No wonder He Rong is so serious. His daughter has just entered the palace and became the dowager. Although the news is that his daughter is extremely favored, this does not mean that the He family can be public. Even at this moment, the He family should do more

Duty.

Zhu Xiongying raised his feet and entered the palace first. He Yuyao was half a step behind Zhu Xiongying. Also following were Zhu Xiongying's three younger sisters. He took them with him when he rarely left the palace. Although these three girls were prosperous, they were not free.

Zhu Xiongying and He Yuyao naturally sat in the main seats, and this time He Rong and He Li also led the Manfu family members to formally pay homage again.

Zhu Xiongying stood up after receiving the ceremony. As soon as he raised his hand, He Zhongxian immediately took the imperial edict.

He Rong and others knelt down again, while Zhu Xiongying opened the imperial edict and read aloud, "The emperor's edict is carried by heaven, and it says: A house that has accumulated good deeds will have more happiness. Dongguan Bo He Rong has taught his daughter well and will become a Marquis of Dongguan."

He Rong kowtowed heavily. His father He was really the 'King of Lingbei'. It was a pity that he joined the emperor too late and could only be granted the title of uncle. After his death, he was posthumously granted the title of marquis. And now, he has been granted the title of marquis. Even if it is not hereditary, he can only be granted the title of marquis.

Marquis, that is also a Marquis.

He Li was also extremely excited, because the Queen and the Crown Princess also had decrees to give her the Xia Pei, a concubine with gold embroidered clouds and Zhai patterns.

The main thing is the phoenix crown. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the crown of the queen's dress is decorated with nine dragons and four phoenixes, and the phoenix crowns of the imperial concubine, princess and crown princess are nine feathers and four winds. The phoenix crowns of the first to seventh rank wives do not have phoenixes, but are embroidered with different numbers of pheasants.

.

And now He Li has been given a crown with seven feathers and four phoenixes. These things are not easy to get. What we can know now is that Wang Fei of Kaiping has a phoenix crown with nine feathers and four winds.

Think about King Qin's concubine, the beloved concubine of King Qin, the daughter of King Deng Yu of Ninghe, who was sentenced to death for using phoenix crowns and other objects.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Qinghui and said, "Don't follow your wife-in-law, let her talk to Mrs. Hou. I will arrange for a few people to follow you, and the three of you will wander around."

Zhu Qinghui immediately said happily, "Brother Emperor, can we really go for a walk at will?"

"Yes." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "I will go back to the palace and take you with me. Just remember, don't do anything willfully."

Zhu Qinghui and others were naturally very happy. They rarely had the opportunity to leave the palace, let alone go for a walk. That is to say, the emperor doted on them, and even their father, mother and concubine were not allowed to play in Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Xiongying is still considerate. If his sisters follow, it will be difficult for He Yuyao and her mother to talk.

After the female family members left, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to He Rong, "After the Lantern Festival, I will take Yuyao home to worship my ancestors."

He Rongxi smiled widely, mainly because this kind of treatment showed that his daughter had really become the wife of the Zhu family. If this was not recognized, there would be no such treatment.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever offered sacrifices to the Marquis of Dongguan first?"

He Rong said hurriedly, "When you return to Your Highness, I will naturally not dare to lose my courtesy."

"The Marquis of Dongguan is from Lingnan after all. I would like to ask, before he left, did he ever think about returning to his roots?" Zhu Xiongying said, "If he is interested, my father-in-law can apply to the imperial court for a decree."

He Zhen was buried in Baligang in the south of the city, and he was not even given the honor of being buried with Xiaoling. People in this era have the concept of returning to their roots after falling leaves. If it were not for his official career, He Zhen would have wanted to return to Dongguan.<

/p>

He Rong immediately knelt down, extremely excited, "I would like to thank Your Highness for your great kindness!"

Tossing, of course it is a tossing, but for people of this era, such things are also a kind of obsession. Many people who die in a foreign land are most worried about not being able to go back and becoming a lonely ghost. There are also many people who want to let the deceased go.

Returning to my hometown is a journey of thousands of miles and a lot of hard work.

Uncle Dongguan was really not liked by Lao Zhu before, so his title and treatment were very average, but it didn't matter, because He Yuyao was now the concubine of the emperor, so the treatment of the He family was suddenly improved.

Zhu Xiongying also continued, "The Marquis of Dongguan was buried with the courtesy of a marquis, so moving to his hometown can only be done with the courtesy of a marquis."

Naturally, He Rong did not dare to expect that. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had not yet developed the habit of giving titles to the empress, prince, concubine, father and brother. In other words, although He Rong did not have great achievements, he still had some merits, so giving him titles was not hereditary.

The reckless marquis.

When He Yaolin inherits the title in the future, he will still only be Dongguan Bo.

Zhu Xiongying asked naturally, "How are you preparing to go to sea?"

He Rong replied hurriedly, "The two guards on the left and right of the navy each sent out ten treasure ships."

Treasure ships are the flagship and battleships of the Navy. Zhu Xiongying took control of the Longjiang Shipyard in his early years. Naturally, he also knows the size of the current treasure ships. In fact, the largest treasure ship today is more than 2,500 tons, and the smaller displacement

More than a thousand tons. And this size is already world-leading in this era.

There are several levels of treasure ships, six models in total.

He Rong continued, "It is equipped with blessing boats, sentinel boats, straw boats, haicang boats, bird boats and fast boats to sail with the big ships."

Different ships naturally have different functions. There are main warships, but also different functions such as pursuit, wave driving or sentinel detection.

As for the name "Fu Chuan", it's hard to say. In fact, in the Song Dynasty, there were sea ships with "the top is as balanced as a scale, the underside is like a knife, and it can cut through the waves." This is also the type of Fu Chuan. And now, it is also because it is in

Fujian, so it is called Fujian ship.

Zhu Xiongying nodded and asked, "The total number of ships of all types is probably over a hundred, right?"

Compared with Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean in history, the size of this fleet is not too large. In history, Zheng He once led more than 27,000 people to the sea, including 2,600 soldiers.

He Rong continued, "Eighty medical officers, shopkeepers, guides, etc., more than two hundred."

In fact, He Rong also has a sense of proportion, because these people are doing trade with the fleet. There are more than 4,000 soldiers on the Fuzhou ship, and that is what he cannot interfere with, and that is the navy of the Ming Dynasty.

Although everyone knows that this time he went to sea for personal gain, the emperor's grandson ordered the navy ships to follow him. But it's hard to say clearly. It's just that the warships and merchant ships happened to meet each other, so they went together and each performed his own duties.

Although it is a bit unnecessary and deceptive, if there is a problem, it is easy to evade.

Zhu Xiongying asked again, "When can the fleet set off?"

He Rong looked embarrassed, and then replied in a low voice, "Your Highness, the fleet is now stationed at Changle Taiping Port to wait for the wind to open up. It's just that I have been unlucky and missed the wind direction. I'm afraid we have to wait for more than half a year."

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it best to go to sea in autumn and winter?"

He Rong hurriedly replied, "I have many inquiries. I go abroad in autumn and winter and return in summer."

He Rong and others carefully looked at Zhu Xiongying's face, for fear of being blamed. This is because His Highness attaches great importance to this matter, but God is not in favor.

Zhu Xiongying burst into laughter and said, "Then wait until autumn and winter before going to sea again. Don't do anything too hastily. Let the soldiers practice more, let the sailors operate the ship more, and get more information before going to sea."

Ocean currents and monsoons are something Zhu Xiongying cannot control. Although he was preparing for these things last year, he obviously missed the best time, so he can only wait for more than half a year.

Zhu Xiongying will not be overjoyed, nor will he act too hastily. He will not risk the lives of thousands of soldiers.

He Rong and others also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, it is not that no one has thought of going to sea to win the favor of His Highness Taisun. However, those people do not dare to bet on such a matter, and His Highness Taisun still has to make the decision.
