That night, Zhu Di appointed the Prince of Zhujiang County as the best literary talent in the dynasty, and Emperor Qinyuan Chun Yongle as the most heroic in history. His words were like a panacea. After Zhu Di listened, everyone became more energetic.
Everyone knows that this poem will be a famous poem handed down from generation to generation. Its artistic conception is so majestic and its momentum is so heroic. It is unprecedented and probably unprecedented.
"Thousands of ancient romantic figures still have to look at the present day." Zhu Zhanji read this sentence again and smiled slightly: "You have to look at the present day."
Zhu Zhanji, whose intuition was no worse than anyone else, was full of praise.
Literati began to copy this famous poem from the first sentence, and newspapers everywhere will publish this poem.
Newspapers have become an indispensable part of people's lives and the most important channel for obtaining information. Literati want their articles to be seen by more people, so they must submit articles to newspapers.
Make a lot of money.
In the harem, the women may have difficulty understanding the artistic conception of this poem, but the old men in front of them all shouted in unison, and the women in the back could not help but praise it.
"Congratulations to the Crown Princess, and congratulations to the Princess of Zhujiang County. Your Highness the Prince of Pearl River County is truly extraordinary in ability and ability. He not only has the ability to supervise the country, but also has the best literary talent in this dynasty. He is truly both civil and military." A woman said with a smile on her face.
Said.
She was praising her, but she was itching with hatred in her heart. The daughter of this noble lady originally participated in the selection of the Princess of Pearl River County, but she withdrew because she was blind. Now she is fine. The more the Prince of Pearl River is in the limelight, the more she becomes.
I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to slap myself twice in the face.
The Crown Princess originally didn't want to deal with these people, but this is a national event, and the whole country is celebrating. She can't be too petty. These ladies from noble families must be invited, otherwise they have not entered the palace for a long time.
This time I also wanted to take this opportunity to improve my relationship with the Crown Princess, so I tried my best to please her.
The Crown Princess just smiled slightly, looking at these people who were following the trend, and then looked at Chen Xinyue with satisfaction.
Chen Xinyue responded to the noble lady: "Your Highness is gentle, reserved, and usually doesn't want to be in the limelight. Today, I think about this situation, born from my heart."
Will Chen Xinyue be proud of Zhu Zhanzhen for being so popular?
Of course she is proud, that is her husband, you all take a good look, my husband is not awesome, he cannot hide his pride in his words.
"I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County should have a lot of famous poems at home on weekdays. The Princess, Princess, and I have also learned some articles. Many young women here today are also talented and famous. Why don't you tell us a few poems and let us enjoy them?
Fan, help to promote elegance."
Chen Xinyue looked around and saw that there were indeed many noble ladies from high families today, and among them there should be quite a few who had withdrawn from the selection of concubines for the Prince of Pearl River County, and their expressions were not very good now.
"New Moon girls don't dare to talk about elegant things like poetry."
"I have heard that the Princess of Zhujiang County is both talented and beautiful. Why don't you show it off? Today is a good day and the Princess of Pearl River County has written a famous story for all eternity. If the Princess of Pearl River County also writes a story, she will be famous for generations to come."
The person who stood up at this time was a young girl, Jin Sisi, the daughter of Jin Rong's family who had previously withdrawn from the selection of concubines in Shandong Province. Thinking about it now, she felt a little unconvinced. After all, she was also famous for her talents.
A very high-spirited woman, she was the one who shouted the loudest when she wanted to withdraw from the concubine selection, because she felt that a misbehaving prince like the Pearl River County Prince was not a good man, but it turned out to be like this later, and thinking about it, Chen Xinyue was cheap.
Chen Xinyue still looked that gentle and elegant: "Miss Jin has long been famous for her talent. Today is the palace dinner. If Miss Jin likes it, she can write a poem, so that Xinyue will not be embarrassed."
"The Princess of the County is really too modest. Everyone has heard of the Princess of the County's talent and knowledge, so why hide it."
Chen Xinyue glanced at the Crown Princess, who said no. Women's gatherings, except for a few gatherings of talented women, rarely talked about poetry. They didn't understand it. It was unnecessary. It would be embarrassing if it was not done well.
Chen Xinyue also noticed that Miss Jin was deliberately looking for trouble, and said with a smile: "Miss Jin, my husband has already written lyrics today. If I go to Miss Jin's poetry meeting someday, I can help Miss Jin."
There are always dandies among men, and there are always arrogance among women.
Jin Sisi sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't hear the princess's poems. In recent years, many daughters of merchants outside have shown off by relying on the few articles they have learned. I thought I could listen to one of the princess's fresh and elegant poems.
, I guess it’s because the blessing has not yet arrived.”
As soon as she said this, her mother was dumbfounded. What was this daughter talking about? Wasn't the merchant's daughter talking about Chen Xinyue? Not many people knew Chen Xinyue's real life experience, so she must have made the effort to check it out.
The Crown Princess narrowed her eyes slightly, but she couldn't get angry at this time, otherwise it would be revealed that Chen Xinyue was actually the merchant's daughter, which would not be a good thing for Zhu Zhanyi.
Jin Sisi's mother looked at Jin Sisi and wanted to beat her up on the spot. Chen Xinyue looked at her as a kind-hearted and humble person, but her husband was not. He was a lawless master with a notorious reputation.
She was not sure whether the Prince of Zhujiang County would beat women.
Chen Xinyue still smiled lightly and replied calmly: "If a merchant's daughter learns some articles and shows off in front of Miss Jin, she will be regarded as ignorant of Taishan. Not only your family, but also our Pearl River County Prince's Palace has encountered many. I feel
If you have some status, you can be the same as us, but you are a blind person who cannot stand on the stage. If it is not for the sake of dignity, I don't want to say a word to you, and you are not overestimating your own abilities."
Chen Xinyue's voice was gentle, but it hurt like a knife.
All in all, your status is not worthy of talking to me.
A noble lady has the strongest self-esteem, but Jin Sisi was not arrogant enough to dare to get angry with Chen Xinyue on such an occasion. She couldn't express her resentment and swallowed it, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
The Crown Princess glanced at Chen Xinyue with admiration. Her three daughters-in-law, of course the principal daughters-in-law, were all gentle people. Hu Shanxiang, Zhu Zhanji's principal concubine, even knew that Sun Ruowei wanted to climb on top of her and would not fight for it.
I'm so Buddhist, I'm quite angry at him for not fighting, and I feel sorry for his misfortune.
Zhu Zhanyong's wife is also very kind-hearted.
Chen Xinyue is polite and kind-hearted, but today she can see that Chen Xinyue is not the obedient little white rabbit she appears to be. She has been in business since she was a child, how can she still suffer against these people?
She is at a disadvantage in terms of status, but as long as Zhu Zhanxing doesn't care and as long as Zhu Zhanxing supports her, she will be the princess with real power. In theory, among the women, no one can surpass her in terms of status except the princess and a few sisters-in-law.
Hold her.
You have to be proud of yourself.
On the way home, Chen Xinyue was sitting in the carriage. Zhu Zhanzhen looked at her angry look and asked: "What's wrong? Who provoked you? Your face is almost like a little bun."
Chen Xinyue recounted everything that happened today, and then said: "That little girl is blind and doesn't know her own abilities. I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight if I criticize her a few times."
"You won, why aren't you happy?"
"I just feel that my identity is that of a businesswoman, and I will always be mentioned by interested people in the future. I feel that I am a head short."
"What's wrong with the merchant's daughter? The Princess of Zhujiang County is the daughter of a merchant. I don't care."
Chen Xinyue looked at Zhu Zhanzong with admiration. After all, he was different from others. He had no clan ideas. He obviously had such a noble status, but he could get along with workers, merchants, and farmers on a normal basis.
Chen Xinyue secretly made up her mind to give him a son as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, do you have to sleep in my house before you leave for Japan?"
"What's wrong? You said that suddenly."
"I don't care, it just has to be like this." Chen Xinyue showed a rare little girl's temper.
…
The New Year's banquet was very lively, but the next day the palace returned to its usual solemnity. The emperor didn't have much time off, and neither did the prince.
On the first day after the meeting, Zhu Gaochi began to prepare for the deportation of all the vassal kings and county princes back to their fiefdoms.
Zhu Di did not intervene, but asked Jin Yiwei to inform Zhu Gaochi of some information as before.
He was watching how Zhu Gaochi handled these things.
When the emperor's military affairs, government affairs, finance and taxation were one thing, the problems on the clan's side were not as easy as these matters.
The day before, all of them were kneeling in the wind and snow outside the emperor's palace, and the entire capital was also in the snow. In the past few days, Zhu Gaochi followed the information given by Jin Yiwei and found all the officers in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing who had received any unusual movements that day.
Excused for demotion.
Isn’t it easy to find an excuse? Which of these soldiers doesn’t have any messy things? Just use eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling as an excuse. The crime will not lead to death, but they will be demoted, and these people Zhu Gaochi will never let them do it again.
If you rise up, you may even go to jail if you are in a key position.
On the third day, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui arrived in front of the emperor in a hurry. The filial piety shown in the previous few days was now hard to find.
The family affection of the royal family is like the soil of the North Pole under the white snow. It exists, but generally you cannot see it.
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Father, my eldest brother is blatantly eradicating dissidents. All the generals who have been with me in the military camp have been demoted. Third brother, do you think so?"
Zhu Gaosui looked up at Zhu Di and nodded.
Zhu Di drank his porridge and read the newspaper, but did not answer Zhu Gaoxu.
"Father, brother, you can't ignore this. He is overstepping his bounds, a complete act of overstepping. Today he doesn't take our two brothers seriously, doesn't care about brotherhood, and does whatever it takes to eradicate dissidents. Tomorrow he may be disrespectful.
Father."
Seeing that Zhu Di was still unmoved, Zhu Gaoxu began to count the wounds again.
Zhu Di finally raised his eyes and looked at him: "Gao Xu, this time I have sealed your two places in Zhejiang and Fujian. If you don't go back and take care of things after the New Year, what are you doing in Beijing?"
"Father, I have eaten a year of wind and sand in the northwest desert for you this year. It is impossible for you to do this..."
"Nonsense!!" Zhu Di interrupted him and said wildly: "Ahem."
The eunuch hurriedly brought tea to clear his throat and said imploringly: "Prince Han, Your Majesty has only been feeling better these past two days. The imperial doctor has told you not to be angry."
Zhu Gaoxu stood angrily, waved his hand and said, "I don't care, brother can't bully people like this. This is not clearly targeting us. Go call brother to confront us face to face."
If they were really called to confront each other, the two of them would talk to each other, and then it would turn into attacking each other, and the emperor would be angry again.
"Why did your elder brother bully you? Those who followed you in the military camp are your subordinates? Then take them to the fiefdom. What are you doing in the military camp in the capital?"
Zhu Gaoxu could tell that the emperor was helping Zhu Gaochi, and he said angrily: "Father, can it be that your elder brother bullies the two of us like this?"
"Let's all go back to the fiefdom. Not only you two, Zhan Ji, Zhan Yun, and Zhan Yi have all gone back to the fiefdom. Let's all go. Let's all go."
Zhu Di secretly helped Zhu Gaochi. He didn't say anything. According to Zhu Gaochi's character, it was impossible for him to return to his fiefdom and he would definitely stay in the capital.
Everyone knows that Zhu Di's time may be running out. The longer it takes is one or two years, the shorter it is just a few months. Once something happens, if they are far away in the fiefdom and the news is concealed, Zhu Gaochi will succeed to the throne later.
They are still in the dark.
Zhu Gaoxu stood tall and straight and asked expressionlessly: "Father, do you really want to do this?"
The father and son looked at each other: "Father once told the child that the prince is sick and you should encourage him. It seems that the child does not need encouragement now."
"Your Majesty Han!!" When the old eunuch saw what King Han said, he was about to interrupt.
But Zhu Gaoxu knelt down, performed a military salute, then turned around and left, all in one go.
Zhu Gaosui hurriedly said: "Father, I will go and persuade my second brother."
The old eunuch was afraid that the emperor would be agitated: "Your Majesty, Prince Han..."
But Zhu Di waved his hand and interrupted him: "What he did was the military etiquette that I taught him when I first taught him how to ride a horse. Hey!"
Zhu Gaojiu walked out of the emperor's palace and was about to go to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaosui stopped him: "Second brother, don't ask for trouble. If the eldest brother can do it with such a big fanfare, the old man must have acquiesced."
"Is it really possible for the eldest brother to bully us two like this? Let me tell you, if he bullies us one step, and we endure it, he will bully us thousands of times. In the past, the eldest brother was just pretending to be benevolent and righteous, but look now
, he strikes without mercy and doesn’t care about his reputation, he is just a big-tailed wolf.”
Zhu Gaosui was caught in a dilemma.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: "You have forgotten how Zhu Yunwen treated the vassal king back then. After our father became the emperor, some of his brothers who had real power, were less capable and had lower spirits, lived the lives of Prince Ansheng.
Didn’t dad cut off part of their salary? Some of them were more powerful. For example, King Su almost lost his vassal title after his death, but this time he appointed a new King Su for the purpose of the Western Expedition."
"Looking at the way the boss behaves, can we two have a good life in the future? I often confront him, and you have never heard of him. If he behaves like this, he will definitely use us two to establish his power in the future."
After a while of "persuasion" by Zhu Gaoxu, the two finally went to the Prince's East Palace together.
The prince received the news in advance that the two men were coming, and made it clear that he would come to investigate and investigate. Zhu Gaochi shook his head helplessly and fled into the harem, out of sight and out of mind.
When Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui arrived at the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi had long disappeared, and only Zhu Zhanzhen was waiting for them here.
"Where is your father?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with some anger.
"Missing."
This answer made the angry Zhu Gaoxu almost laugh out loud. This kid never spoke in tune.
"Prince, Prince." Zhu Gaoxu shouted throughout the courtyard, but there was no response.
"Second uncle, let's have a cup of tea first."
"Your father can hide for a while, but not forever."
Zhu Gaoxu sat down: "I'll wait here. Third brother, please come and sit too. I don't believe he won't come back."
Zhu Zhanzhen had a headache. The fat dad meant that Zhu Zhanzhen had a good relationship with Zhu Gaoxu and asked him to solve Zhu Gaoxu, but he couldn't help it. Can Zhu Zhanzhen have a solution? Is Zhu Gaoxu so easy to solve?
"Second Uncle, I heard that Ningbo Port is doing very well. The trade volume has increased dramatically in recent years."
"You kid, don't take the subject away from me. Today I'm here to ask for an explanation. Why does the boss target me? This matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to get involved."
Zhu Zhanzhen looked helpless, and I didn’t want to get involved, but Fat Dad left the mess to me.
"Second uncle, we worked together to defeat the Chagatai Khanate. This time I am going to Japan. What do I think about us working together again? To defeat Japan as well."
"Japan???" Zhu Gaoxu was finally attracted to his attention.
