The next day, the emperor's grandson issued an order to select the coastal guards at the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and the four battalions of soldiers formed a single army. Tang He, the Duke of Xin, was appointed as the chief military officer, dedicated to the eradication of Japanese pirates, and the military number was Jing Haijun.
He also ordered the Quanzhou Shipyard in Guangzhou to build three more large ships and ten fast ships. The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated five hundred thousand taels of silver, and the emperor's grandson rewarded three thousand pieces of cloth in his inner treasury to serve as military supplies.
The purpose was simple, but it shocked both the government and the public.
Suppressing Japanese pirates is not a big deal, the court will take action sooner or later. The subtle thing is that this decree does not come from the old emperor, but from the young emperor's grandson.
Selecting generals, selecting soldiers, employing veteran generals, appropriating military resources, etc., this series shows that the Emperor Taisun has begun to intervene in the military. After the Taisun's decree is issued, whether it is the Fifth Army Governor's Office or the Ministry of War, even the person responsible for appropriation
The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry of Shipbuilding also accepted the order as a matter of course.
The meaning of this is even more intriguing.
Throughout the ages, the crown prince has had a noble status, but how many people can directly give orders to the six central departments? Even if they do, who will listen?
There is even news that after the new year, His Highness the Grand Sun will uphold the Holy Will and act as the official in charge of the government!
The Crown Prince is already a half-king, and the person in charge of the government affairs is more than half of the people, which is a step further. In the future, His Highness the Crown Prince will no longer only have a noble status, but also have the authority to dominate the world of government affairs.
There was an undercurrent in the Ming Dynasty, and officials close to Zhu Yunxi's faction were naturally happy and excited.
At the same time, another imperial edict issued by the old man himself did not cause much fuss.
Ma, the daughter of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was chosen as Princess Huai. The seventeenth day of the first lunar month was a good time to get married. After the Prince of Huai's wedding, he went to Huai'an to join the vassal. He was awarded a gold book and gold treasures, a salary of ten thousand stones, a government official, and a bodyguard.
Three thousand and so on!
Therefore, the prince's eldest son, Prince Huai Zhu Yunwen, will become the first vassal king among the prince's sons. Although there are rumors that King Huai has hated the emperor for some reason, the emperor will reward the prince with everything he deserves.
.The proportion of light gold and silver even exceeded that of several adult vassal kings at the time.
Moreover, Huai'an is a large canal town with prosperous commerce and trade. Being sealed here means that the Huai king has been rich and powerful for generations.
In the eyes of the courtiers, the sooner the vassal king leaves, the better the vassal will be. There can only be the emperor and the prince in the palace, but Zhu Yunxi felt heartbroken when he looked at the gift list given to Zhu Yunwen by the old man.
The Jing navy's money specifically used to exterminate pirates was only half a million silver. The reward for Zhu Yunzhen was as much as two thousand hectares of farmland in Huai'an, not to mention the gold, silver, jade and other items that built the palace.
A rough calculation shows that Zhu Yunwen's wedding and joining the feudal clan cost more than 300,000 yuan.
No matter how poor you are, your children and grandchildren cannot be poor. The old man really took this sentence to the extreme.
Of course, Zhu Yunxi also saw the cost of his own wedding. The gift list from the Ministry of Rites has been submitted. The cost of the emperor's grandson's wedding will cost about 700,000 yuan, not counting the tax exemption and rewards to the people of the capital in order to express universal celebration.
of expenses.
It is said that after reading the gift list, the old man was still a little dissatisfied and felt that it was still not grand enough. Finally, he wrote on the gift list that on the wedding day of the emperor's grandson, he would be rewarded by Tianfu and Fengyang Zhongdu, and the men over fifty years old would drink ten
Jin, five pounds of meat. For women over fifty years old, three feet of cloth and three feet of silk. For the old, weak, orphans and widows, a certain amount of wine, meat, food and rice must be given to make the people of the world happy with the heavenly family.
It hurts, it really hurts! Over and over again, more than one million taels of silver are gone.
How many warships are there? How many artillery pieces?
But you can't be stubborn with the old man on this matter. Zhu Yunxi will listen to whatever he says. In the words of the old man, rewarding the people and exempting from taxes is to pray for Zhu Yunxi. The people love him and move the heaven and the earth. The gods in the sky will naturally bless Zhu Yunxi in the future.
children and grandchildren.
I feel sorry for myself, but on my birthday, I also lost a lot of income.
Zhu Yunxi's imperial edict to choose his concubine had long been known to the world, and it coincided with his birthday. Gifts from vassal kings from all over the country were also quickly delivered to Beijing on his birthday.
Led by the two kings of Qin and Jin, they received five hundred gold, five thousand silver, and countless BMWs and antiques.
Other vassal kings from various places were not to be outdone. Among them, the king of Shu, who was born to Concubine Guo Hui, gave more than two thousand pieces of Shu brocade alone.
Looking at the mountains of gifts piled up in the warehouse, Zhu Yunxi had only one thought in his mind.
Are these vassal kings so rich?
Among these gifts, the congratulatory gift from King Zhu Di of Yan was the most special. Mink and fox skins from Dongqing, Zhuhai, Dongqing, these precious products from Liaodong were sent like water. Among them, there were 180 Hu slaves outside the Great Wall. They were all captives.
The children selected from the village were castrated and used as eunuchs.
Holding the gift list from King Yan, Zhu Yunxi fell into deep thought.
Zhu Di's gifts looked expensive, but they were just flashy things. There were no gold or silver items that were really useful, and he didn't even give a few good horses.
Counting the days, Tie Xuan and Xie Jin should have arrived in Peiping by this time. I wonder how much they can get a glimpse of Yan Fan's true strength.
Zhu Yunxi's birthday was not a grand event, but on the day of his birthday, the palace was also very busy. No foreign ministers attended, and all the princes, unmarried princesses, and married princesses in the palace were accompanied by their children and husbands.
, returned to the palace and attended the family banquet.
The usually deserted palace suddenly became lively. Especially the young princes who had so many free time in the palace jumped up to three heights when they saw so many people. And most of these people were their juniors.
, the sons of princesses who are married and become fathers must be called uncle.
A group of little brats quickly became involved, creating a chaotic atmosphere in the palace, which the old man happily ignored. Among them was the son of Princess Yongjia, who was just about the age of peeing in the mud. Following Tang Wang Zhu Dong, Zhu Nan and others, the palace was full of troubles.
It was another flesh-and-blood reunion, Zhu Yunxi's birthday, but he was willing to let the old man be the protagonist. As the old man got older, such a reunion was rare. Not only the old man, but also the princesses who entered the palace, and their biological mothers could also make an exception to meet their daughters.
When I met my grandson, I felt a bit bitter in my joy.
Among the princesses, Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing are the closest to Zhu Yunxi. The gifts they brought to Zhu Yunxi were clothes made by their own hands. They were more affectionate than gifts. They and the prince Zhu Biao were all from the same mother, and they were Zhu Yunxi's genuine goods.
's aunt.
Princess Anqing's consort was Mei Yin, the commander-in-chief of Huai'an who held the post of governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Although he did not have much contact with Zhu Yunxi, he was definitely on his line.
This prince-in-law had the trust of the old man and held a high position. In the original time and space, he was also the minister left to Emperor Jianwen after the old man passed away.
However, Jianwen didn't know people well, he only trusted Confucian officials and that idiot Li Jinglong, and treated the people the old man left to him as decorations.
Among all the princesses, there is only one who seems to be somewhat different from the other.
The old man's eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an, is only in her forties, and her hair is already half white. Although there is nothing wrong with her when she is sitting at the table, she looks out of place.
Princess Lin'an, Li Shanchang's daughter-in-law, the old man killed Li Shanchang's entire family, a family of more than seventy people. Only Princess Lin'an's husband and children were left, but her husband and children were also exiled, and she was the only one living alone in the princess's mansion.
During the dinner, Zhu Yunxi saw the old man secretly glancing at his eldest daughter a few times, but he didn't look at him there. There was a trace of sadness in the old man's eyes.
The old man trusted Li Qi, the commander-in-chief, and loved him like a son, but when it came to power struggles, he was so cruel.
However, Princess Lin'an's old age and depressed appearance hurt the old man's heart. He could not care about anyone in his life, but he could not let go of his children.
The monarchs of all dynasties were very wary of their consorts and relatives, but the old man treated them as a family. As long as they had talents, they would not hesitate to use them in high positions, and everyone would lead troops in the army.
The banquet was held in Jingren Hall of the East Palace, and the family reunion was very lively. Without foreign ministers, there were not so many etiquette and rules. Zhu Yunxi also put down his posture and had a few drinks with several older uncles in person.
The children and grandchildren in the palace are making noise, and the old people in the palace are laughing. The king is lonely and widowed, but he expects his children to be filial.
While talking and laughing, when the banquet was coming to an end, Zhu Yunxi was holding a wine glass next to the old man and had something to say.
The palace suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the emperor's grandson in awe.
On the day of Grandpa Huang's birthday, due to etiquette, the aunts were not able to show up. Zhu Yunxi said, in fact, Grandpa Huang misses you very much in his heart. I heard him say more than once, how is so and so? How tall is the eldest son in her family?
?Those who are not filial do not even know how to enter the palace and let us see!
The old man stared, why are you saying this?
Zhu Yunxi said one word, and someone in the palace suddenly shed tears.
Married daughters throw away water. The daughters of the Tian family actually have nothing but their noble status, and their marriages may not be happy.
Today, I want to discuss a decision with the emperor! Zhu Yunxi said loudly, from now on, all the aunts can hand in the sign to the palace at any time. If you want to see your mother and concubine, you must fulfill your filial piety early and don't let the palace wall block the love between our heavenly family.
!
The old man muttered, "There are no rules. Isn't this chaos? How can a married daughter come back to the family?"
Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxi turned his head and said, "Don't you want to see these daughters often? Don't you want to see your grandchildren? Look at Princess Yongjia's baby, how cute he is, carved in pink and jade. They say that the nephew looks like his uncle. This boy and Uncle Shu Wang,
The eyebrows are so similar!
Haha! The old man laughed out loud. It was true that the King of Shu was exactly the same as him when he was a child! After saying that, he looked at the biological mother of King Shu and Princess Yongjia, Concubine Guo Hui, with rare tenderness in her eyes.
That’s it! Drink this cup, and if there is any unscrupulous censor making noises, I will take care of it!
Your Highness is benevolent! All the princesses and consorts in the palace all praise you.
Mother, my daughter sees that the emperor’s grandson treats you and our family quite well! Princess Yongjia whispered to her mother Guo Huifei.
Concubine Guo Hui nodded, leaned into her daughter's ear, and called your husband to go to His Highness's house more often. They are not outsiders, although they are not blood relatives, but with your aunt's level of relationship, it is not the same as being a close relative!?
Princess Yongjia turned around, only to find that the old man's face turned very ugly after His Highness Taisun said something on the imperial steps.
