Chapter 181 Trial(1/2)

When! When!

The heavy bell sounded in the corner tower of Daming Palace City.

The warrior in the flying fish suit hit the bronze bell representing the imperial power.

The bell began to spread like ripples in the air, and it spread to every corner of the capital of the Ming Dynasty with the Forbidden City as the center.

Today is the day of the grand dynasty meeting. All officials in Beijing, including the fourth rank and above, and the Emperor of the Palace of Taihe is in charge of the government. No matter spring and summer, no matter cold and heat, no matter wind, frost, rain and snow, no matter how hard it is.

As the bell fell, the palace gate of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty opened. Countless officials were dressed in red purple court robes, holding ivory court scepters in their hands, according to the size of the official position, and separated the civil and military personnel and entered one after another.

At this time, in Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunqi also rode in the ceremonial guard and began to head towards the Taihe Hall.

Scream! Scream!

In front of the long emperor's ceremonial war, two strong eunuchs walked square steps, constantly waving their arms while walking, making hissing sounds in their hands.

The palace servants and servants who were cleaning the palace corridors immediately fell to their knees against the red palace wall after hearing the eunuch's voice.

Mortals are not qualified to meet the emperor.

Then came the eunuchs holding high ceremonial guards, wearing red wedding uniforms, and white feathers on their heads.

Further behind were samurai wearing gorgeous brocade clothes and silver helmets, and a face that was as deep as water.

They are burly, and each of them seems to be quite tall, fat and thin, holding etiquette weapons such as golden gourd axes and halberds in their hands, accompanying them around the emperor's chariot.

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a dragon robe, a golden Zen-dyed crown, and a curtain made of gems and beads covered his eyes, making him look a little mysterious.

Zhu Yunxiu was wearing princely clothes and walked beside the imperial chariot, holding the bar of the sixteen chariot with one hand and the jade belt around his waist with the other.

His spine was straight and he didn't look squint, and his whole body looked like a sharp sword unsheathed, revealing its sharpness.

During the journey of the imperial carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang would occasionally turn his head, and whenever he saw his grandson with a handsome appearance and extraordinary appearance, he would nod slightly.

The imperial chariot stopped outside the Taihe Hall, and Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the imperial chariot.

Big grandson!

Grandson is here!

Holding our hands, we both went over together!

yes!

The emperor's old arm rested on Zhu Yun's vibrant arm, and under the golden dragon and yellow umbrella on his head, the two had similar faces.

Zhu Yuanzhang never sat in the Golden Palace when he went to court.

His dragon throne was placed in the gate hole outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and was called the Imperial Gate Tingzheng.

Long live my emperor!

The ministers' worship sounded and thundered, and the open space of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of the Ming ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood beside the dragon throne and glanced at the ministers without expression, and all the ministers were calm!

Thank you very much!

With the sound of the mountain crying again, the ministers stood up.

Standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunyu heard the voices of the ministers, and his heart was as bright as lightning and rushing, and he also had a question.

The emperor's grand dynasty meeting was held here.

Is it okay in summer, but how cold in winter?

No wonder Emperor Wanli later did not fall in love with court, and came out of the quilt before dawn and sat in the snow for a meeting. Who would have wanted?

This is a court meeting, a ceremony that a country attaches most importance to from the emperor to the ministers. Not to mention the snow and ice, no matter whether it is windy or snowy or even a knife, you must come.

He had some unrestrained questions in his heart, but his ministers were deeply shocked.

The King of Wu was actually by the emperor's side.

The emperor actually brought the King of Wu to court.

In the past, this honor could only belong to one person, that is, the father of the King of Wu, the late prince.

Many people think in their hearts that the rumor that the emperor wants to establish a crown prince is true.

Looking at the tall and beautiful King of Wu, many people must admit that the emperor's demeanor is really similar to that of the emperor.

We got sick a few days ago!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded and spread through the doorway to the square.

Don't worry, a minor illness! We are fine now, and we are still strong! As he said, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled a little. Today's court meeting, all the officials spoke freely. After saying that, he whispered to Zhu Yunxi, listen carefully, see who can

If you can’t do things, we will test you in the future!

Grandson understands! Zhu Yunsheng nodded.

I have a memorial!

A minister came out with high spirits, Ji Shan, the Minister of Rites.

Your Majesty issued an order a few days ago that the Marquis of Xiping, Yunnan, would return to Beijing for burial. The coffin is on the road. How to choose a lucky place? Please tell me!

Auspicious land is a cemetery. Since the order was issued to Mu Ying to return to Beijing for burial, it was not as simple as a cemetery, but to Mu Ying and his future children and grandchildren, a cemetery that was granted to him.

It is a coincidence that Zhu Yunyu, the cemetery of the Mu family in his previous life, was fortunate to visit. When he first retired from the army, he also lived a poor trip for half a year. He visited the family cemetery of this loyal minister for the ages in General Mountain outside Nanjing.

Only from afar, Mu Ying and his descendants were frequently robbed in the war years. Moreover, in the era of turbulent real estate, wealthy merchants ignored the so-called cultural relics and cultural relics and directly dug the matter by excavating the ground.

.

It turns out that the Mu family’s cemetery has become luxurious villas surrounded by green mountains and green trees. It is unbearable to feel regretful.

However, even if it is buried underground or dissipated in dust, Mu Ying, buried in General Mountain, seems to be guarding the tombs of Taizu and the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. General Mountain is leading to the tomb of the Ming Emperor's tomb, like a gate.

Speaking of Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little dim and he said, "We have issued an order to the King of Wu. He will handle Mu Ying's funeral with the Ministry of Rites!" As he said that, look at Zhu Yunxiu, Dasun, tell me!"

This scene made the ministers even more shocked.

In the past, the prince accompanied the emperor to court, but the emperor had never spoken to the prince so kindly.

Grandpa the emperor has issued an order to be the Duke of Qian! Zhu Yunxi said loudly, and Duke Mu's divorce during his lifetime wrote that he would like to keep a guard for the late queen, so his tomb should be chosen in General Mountain!

For such a loyal minister and a family loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the General Mountain, which guards the Ming Emperor's Tomb, is the best destination.

However, Zhu Yunxiu didn't want to see that the hero's tomb was robbed by a villain.

Although Mr. Mu and I, Huang Ming, are not blood relatives, they are no less blood relatives! Zhu Yunxi continued to say that when the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works build a tomb, they must be dug deep and buried to prevent a clique from being stingy!

I understand! The ministers replied.

His Majesty!

After Zhu Yunyu finished speaking, Fu Youwen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took the list.

Yesterday, stamps were sold. The CCP sold 170,000 letter stamps, 7,000 cargo tickets, 15,000 accommodation tickets, 6,77 tickets for carriages and horses, and 3,666 post guard tickets...

...

Ordinary stamps cost two dollars, but other tickets involving accommodation, storage of goods, guards and chariots and horses at the station are very expensive, and they are estimated based on the amount and weight of the goods.

A total of silver was collected, 263,241 taels of silver!

Om, the ministers were in a big uproar.

Is there such a small stamp sold at once?

But thinking about it makes me feel relieved. After all, it is a natural thing for everyone to buy some at home for later use.

But unexpectedly, the various tickets from Post Station can actually make so much money together?

This is just a capital city. If all the prosperous Jiangnan towns and prosperous trade places are sold, it would be an astronomical figure.

260,000? Zhu Yunqiu thought to himself that there were indeed a lot.

It should be noted that a high-level state government may not have this amount in a year's tax, and most of it is cloth, grain, etc., which is not a waste of money.

The meaning of precious metals in the hands of the government is a hundred times stronger than that among the people. The amount of gold and silver reserves of the state directly determines the national strength.

Is that right? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

It's true! Fu Youwen said aloud.

Our Ming Dynasty not only did good things for the people, but also made the finances open. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Good things, good things!"

I am congratulating you to the Ming Dynasty! The ministers bowed again.

Get up! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "What are you congratulating to us?" This idea was come up with our eldest grandson!

I am congratulating His Highness the King of Wu! The ministers said again.

The imperial edict was sent! Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke again and rewarded King Zhu Yunsheng of Wu to give full honor to the prince's ceremonial guard.

Thank you, my Majesty for your kindness!

Zhu Yunxiu quickly bowed and kowtowed.

This reward was too heavy. Although he was the King of Wu, he did not have a vassal. The laws of the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor could have ceremonial guards in the palace.
