A palace is still a palace, no matter what happens, it is still a palace.
When the sun falls on the golden glazed tiles, it is still so scary that people dare not look directly at it.
Zhu Yunxi performed a set of military boxing in the garden of Fengtian Temple to exercise his muscles and bones, then took a handkerchief from the eunuch standing beside him and wiped the sweat on his face.
Under the sun, beside the red palace wall and in the garden with blooming flowers, the young man's face was full of heroism.
Is Grandpa Huang getting up? Zhu Yunxi threw his handkerchief over and asked.
The eunuch bowed and took it, and replied to His Highness that the old prince had gotten up early and was reviewing the memorial in the palace!
Zhu Yunxi nodded. The palace lost many people the day before yesterday, and also gained many new ones. His former personal eunuch, Bashan Wang, was recovering from his injuries, and now this one was newly rewarded by the old man.
By the way! Zhu Yunxi stopped at the entrance of the garden, turned around and asked, what is your name?
The slave’s name is Pu Wuyong! The eunuch smiled humbly.
Are you also from Korea? Zhu Yunxi looked at it a few times and found that the accent didn’t sound like it!
The slave girl is the god-grandson of Eunuch Pu, so her surname is Pu!
Are you useless? Zhu Yunxi smiled, one of you is useless, and the other is useless. Haha, the lower part is gone, of course you are useless! Who named you, you are really talented!
Pu Wuyong didn't know how to reply, so he could only laugh.
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, talking to an official.
What happened the day before yesterday was also a blow to the old man. Zhu Yunxi looked at his profile but didn't notice anything strange.
Grandpa Huang, you got up so early! Zhu Yunxi walked over and said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, and the official quickly saluted, "Hu Guang, the doctor of Zongzheng Mansion, has met His Highness King Wu!"
Zongzheng Mansion is an institution specifically responsible for serving the sons and grandsons of the Zhu family. It has always been thankless and easy to fall into disgrace.
Get down! Zhu Yunxi said gently.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of paper from the imperial desk and handed it over, "Dasun, take a look!"
One thousand pieces each of spring, summer, autumn and winter cloth, 800 jins of gold, 1,600 jins of silver, 600 jins of white jade. Two boxes each of pearls, agates and precious stones. 500 pieces each of Sichuan brocade and Hangzhou silk, and 300 pieces of ivory and tortoiseshell, to be made separately.
There are twelve sets of large and small porcelain, three boxes of antique calligraphy and painting, and 286 pieces of gold, silver and bronze.
There are eight eunuchs, sixteen nuns, and thirty-two Jinyi captains.
To enrich the East Palace of King Wu, if there are any deficiencies, Zong Zhengfu will make up for them one by one according to the old rules of the prince immediately...
After finishing reading, Zhu Yunxi asked doubtfully, Grandpa Emperor, is this for your grandson? He said and laughed, are you trying to empty the treasury?
You are the King of Wu, and the etiquette cannot be discarded. It turns out that we thought that your fiefdom is in Hangzhou, which is the richest place in the world. There is no need to arrange anything for you in the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked the official to go down, and then continued, "But
You don't need a fief now, but you still have to have the things you should have in the palace.
In feudal society, these are all rituals, which are etiquette, represent the etiquette of the class, and also represent the authority of the imperial power.
As the King of Wu of the Ming Dynasty and the direct grandson of the emperor, we must follow the etiquette for all living expenses. We cannot overstep it, but we cannot lack the things we should have.
If it's missing, it's a Ming Dynasty joke.
Grandpa Huang, your grandson doesn’t lack these! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, besides, your grandson is living here now, so where can I get so many treasures in the East Palace? My grandson doesn’t need them! Besides, Jingren Palace was the original residence of his father.
, there is everything in it.
Zhu Yuanzhang once decreed that the palace where the prince originally lived became Zhu Yunxi's bedroom. According to etiquette, even if he did not live in it, the original things must be sealed and replaced with new ones.
It's good that you have such a heart! Zhu Yuanzhang patted the stool next to him, asked Zhu Yunxi to sit down, and then said with a smile, but these are the rules passed down from past dynasties, and they cannot be abolished in our Zhu family.
After saying that, the old emperor smiled and said, why do we need to rely on those scholars to govern the country? Because they know etiquette, etiquette is the outline of the world, and the outline should never be messed up!
You said before that the world must be governed by principles! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, Grandpa Huang, a few days ago he said that the money for disaster relief in Jiangxi was not enough. From my grandson's perspective, it is better to...
They are all things in the warehouse, and there is no money from the user department! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.
The Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty and conquered Dadu, which had been run by the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years. Countless rare treasures from all over the world in the palace fell into the hands of the Zhu family. Although the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was somewhat thin, the emperor's private treasury contained
There are a lot of good things.
It is a pity that these treasures brought from the Liao and Song Dynasties to the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, as well as those brought by the Mongolian cavalry across the world, all bear the royal mark and are marked in the palace files and cannot be sold casually.
Even if it is sold, no one in the world would dare to buy it. The so-called gift is to make people behave themselves. It is not something of your status. If you use it, it is a crime.
The grandson just thought it was too much! Zhu Yunxi looked at the piece of paper again, wow, so many treasures!
You are now the King of Wu. From now on, when you meet with ministers and foreign officials, you will always be rewarded during festivals and festivals. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, we can't let you be empty-handed and unable to take out anything!
The salary of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was extremely low, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still very generous to the central officials and young talents. The officials he liked always received rewards from the palace.
Moreover, as Zhu Yunxi got older, he came to the stage and rewarded foreign officials and relatives, which was what he should have done.
In this way, the grandson thanked Grandpa Huang! Zhu Yunxi saluted and said with a smile, his grandson will also be a rich man in the future!
Haha! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, no matter how rich you are, you have nowhere to spend it!
What this means is that because of Zhu Yunxi's status, the most useless thing in the world to him and the easiest thing to come by is money.
The two men were smiling and talking when Pu Bucheng came in from outside, knelt down and said, Your Majesty, people are here!
Call in! With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Yunxi and said, Grandson, we have chosen a Ji Shan Dian officer for you. (Ji Shan, an official position equivalent to a secretary next to the prince in the Ming Dynasty. There was a person named Ji Shan in the previous article.
, that’s a person’s name.)
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with an elegant face, medium height and slight skinny came in.
Sir, Xie Jin comes to see Your Majesty.
Afterwards, he kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi and said, "I'm here to see His Highness the King of Wu!"
Xie Jin? Zhu Yunxi thought about it and said with a smile, are you Xie Jin from Jiangxi?
Xie Jin was slightly surprised. Does Your Highness recognize you?
How could Zhu Yunxi not recognize this famous person in history? Not only did he recognize him, but he also knew that this man died miserably in the end.
Not only do I recognize you, I also know that you are a child prodigy!
Xie Jin was born in a family of traditional scholars in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He took part in the provincial examination at the age of seventeen and passed the Xue Yuan examination. At the age of eighteen, he took the national examination and became Jinshi in the same subject with his elder brother Xie Lun and brother-in-law Huang Huanghua.
It's a good story for a while.
After becoming a Jinshi, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Xie Jin as a Shujishi and entered the Hanlin Academy. For scholars, this is the most noble official position in the world.
In the Ming Empire, to be a high official one must be a Jinshi, and to enter the Hanlin Academy is to be a candidate for the six cabinet ministers, but it just takes some time to hone.
Logically speaking, such an official career should be smooth sailing.
However, not only was Jie Jin's official career unsatisfactory, but he was also not favored by Emperor Jianwen. Later, he took refuge with Zhu Di and rose to great heights, becoming an important minister.
But luck and misfortune depended on each other, and the time when he was proud was the time of his death.
During the Yongle period, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, understood Zhu Di's intention. After getting Xie Jin drunk, he stuffed him into a snowdrift and froze to death.

Last night, I chatted with some sisters who are interested in literature until it was too late.
