Chapter 272: Preparations for the Beijing Normal University Parade
After coming out of Huagai Hall, Zhu Ying began to inspect the twelve personal guards.
In less than ten days, it will be the first day of October. This is an important day for Zhu Ying.
At the same time, Zhu Ying also proposed to the old man that after the morning ceremony, the Ming Dynasty military parade would be held at about the same time.
The location of the military parade was chosen at the gate of the palace, and all the people were allowed to watch it together.
The most important of them is that for the envoys of all tributary countries, this is the best time to show force.
Especially Pierma Heima.
Thinking of Pierma Heima, Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask Ye Yueqing next to her: "What is Pierma Heima doing recently?"
Ye Yueqing heard this and said with a smile: "Reporting to Your Highness, Pi'er Ma Heima and His Highness Yun have been getting along very well recently. The two hit it off and they have been traveling around the capital these days.
Although Pierma Heima came with the envoy team, in fact he did not belong to the envoy and was more like a tourist.
Zhou Bingyan, the thirty-seventh disciple of Zhu Ying, had a deep understanding of the royal family. At the same time, he also asked Zhou Bingyan to ask if he could send a message to His Highness Yunzhi and ask him to meet him.
After reporting to Ye Yueqing and getting Zhu Ying's permission, people from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce approached Huang Zicheng and asked him to convey it on his behalf.
At present, not many people know about the relationship between Qunying Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Ying, and many people are also very secretive about it. Huang Zicheng does not know that Qunying Chamber of Commerce belongs to His Highness Chang Sun.
For this reason, I did not refuse the benefits sent by the Chamber of Commerce and directly accepted them.
Huang Zicheng, who had benefited from this, naturally worked a lot on communication. The key point was that the situation of Pi'er Ma Heima was very similar to Zhu Yunxuan's situation.
Both of them have eldest brothers, who are second in line to the throne. Their grandfathers are both emperors, their fathers are both dead, and they are not much different in age.
After receiving such news, Zhu Yun immediately became interested and went out of the palace to meet Pi'erma Heima.
I said that during the morning court just now, this boy was not focused on things like Liang Guogong. He just wanted to go to court early and meet his friends."
"At this time, I'm afraid I've already met Pi'erma Heima."
Zhu Ying asked with a smile.
Ye Yueqing nodded. Currently, as a female official beside His Highness Changsun, she is not qualified to attend the morning court. During the morning court, she will also exchange information with the Jin Yiwei.
Now Jinyiwei has been nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhu Ying, and on the actual executor side, Ye Yueqing is the representative.
"Your Highness's guess is correct. After the morning court, His Highness Yunwen has already left the palace."
Listening to Ye Yueqing's answer, Zhu Ying smiled and continued to inspect the personal guard station.
In fact, it was very troublesome for the prince to leave the palace. In the past, if the prince wanted to leave the palace, he had to get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval.
Later, in the exchange between Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang, they mentioned that the princes should be allowed to see the real situation of the people, and that they would not have too many thoughts in their minds because they were too bored in the palace. Therefore, after the current prince turns twelve years old,
He has the right to enter the palace on his own.
Many princes are very grateful to His Highness Changsun.
Most of the princes have only been out of the palace for a handful of days from birth to now. Who doesn't have a playful heart?
Although the palace is large, it has a lot of etiquette, and after being here for more than ten years, it is too boring, and everyone wants to go out and play.
Now that His Highness Changsun has issued the order, everyone is happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that even this small incident would cause Zhu Ying's status in the hearts of many princes to skyrocket.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yun gradually accepted his eldest brother.
Just when Zhu Ying was inspecting the guard post, Zhu Yunxuan finally arrived at the bank of the Qinhuai River. Next to Zhu Yun, there were several Jinyi guards following him.
As a prince, normal security work must still be carried out. Whenever a prince leaves the palace, he will be protected by royal guards.
"Brother Yunwen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's almost lunch, why did you come here just now?"
On a luxurious two-story boat on the river bank, Pi'er Ma Heima looked around and finally waited for Zhu Yunxuan.
Zhu Yunzuo bowed and said: "Brother Ma Hei, I am not as cool as you. I have to go to the morning court before dawn. Only after the morning court can I have my own time."
As he spoke, Zhu Yun boarded the building boat, and the Jin Yiwei also stood guard on the building boat.
He Ma Guan said: "Our great Mingting Court is Ma. When I was in Mal, I was never transferred to take care of these things. It was all handled by my elder brother. I usually start whenever I want. "The teacher who teaches me also needs to wait.
I won't start until I get up. If I feel unhappy, I'll just go out and play, so I don't need to worry about it."
Hearing Pi'erma Heima's words, a trace of pride flashed in Zhu Yunzhi's eyes. After all, he was a barbarian. Although his identity was similar to his own, he really lacked instruction in etiquette.
Although I am a little tired like this, I am not as shallow as Ma Heima in front of me.
Zhu Yun didn't want to talk more about this aspect, so he talked to Ma Heima about some customs and customs in the Middle East.
The two of them chatted, sipping tea and looking at the scenery on the river.
Zhu Yun still feels very comfortable with this kind of life.
"By the way, Brother Yunzhi, I heard from the envoys that in ten days' time, on the first day of October, the Ming Dynasty will hold a grand military parade. Not only will all the tribute envoys be invited to participate, but the common people will also be allowed to observe the ceremony."
"Could you ask Brother Yunwen to help me broadcast all of this on demand?
Pierma Heima seemed to suddenly remember, and then asked.
Pi'er Ma Heima was very excited about this grand military parade. When all the envoys got the news, they were very excited. They could see from the military parade about the most elite military of the Ming Dynasty, especially Ma Heima.
Here, some people are hesitant about paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and they pay more attention to this matter.
The status of the location has not yet been officially announced, but Pierma Heima has already ordered the envoys to obtain the best viewing location no matter how much it costs.
Over at Tianjie Temple, the officials who contacted envoys from foreign countries have been extremely busy since this notice was issued. Every day, they tried their best to get the specific viewing position. When Zhu Yun heard this, his eyes dimmed at first.
, and then immediately recovered and said: "This military parade was arranged by my eldest brother, His Highness Sun. The first day of October is also the day when my eldest brother is canonized as the grandson."
Hearing these words, Pi'er Ma Heima immediately closed his lips tightly, knowing that this had touched Zhu Yun's sore spot.
Pi'erma Heima still knew some news about Zhu Yunwen, which is why he felt that this was the only difference between Zhu Yunwen and himself.
My eldest brother has always been alive and well. Pi'erma Heima is a posthumous child, and his father died when he was born.
Therefore, from the time when he was sensible, Pierma Heima's eldest brother Maheima Sultan was already the heir to Timur's empire, but he had never experienced such pain as Zhu Yunzhen.
I wanted to say a few words, but Pi'erma Heima didn't know how to say it.
He also knew that Zhu Yunluo's eldest brother only returned a few months ago.
Regarding the fact that Zhu Yunxuan's eldest brother returned after disappearing for ten years, from Pierma Heima's point of view, it seems normal.
Because there are too many such situations on the grassland. When migrating, it is easy to get separated. Nomadic people often appear in this regard.
But for Zhu Yunzhi in front of him, he must be in a very bad mood.
After saying this, he also noticed Pierma Heima's thoughts, so he continued, "My eldest brother is far inferior to me in terms of civility and martial arts. He is a born king. Even if he is living abroad, he will end up causing harm to his son."
Ma Guo said casually: "You don't know yet, I am the one who started the Qunying Nanhui in the outside world. How about you have heard of it? According to the Western Region, very
"What!"
When Pi'erma Heima heard this, he felt like a thunderbolt from the sky. He instantly stood up in his seat. Zhu Yun was shocked by Pi'erma Heima's reaction and accidentally spilled some of the tea in his hand.
come out.
"Brother Ma Hei, what's wrong with Xu?" Zhu Yunxuan asked in surprise.
Pi'erma Heima quickly explained: "Nothing, nothing. I didn't expect that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was founded by your eldest brother."
As he spoke, Pi'er Ma Heima's voice was a little flustered, and Zhu Yunwen continued: "I think you must have heard of Brother Ma Hei. My eldest brother is really talented and uniquely endowed."
Pi'erma Heima smiled awkwardly, the shock in his heart continued.
He has not only heard of it, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is not very famous in the Ming Dynasty, but it is extremely famous in the Western Regions. It is a force that spans a large area and has the support of many nobles.
Even Pierma Heima has come into contact with quite a few people from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Many precious porcelains, teas, and silks are being dumped by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce. Even many nobles in Timur's empire are partners of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
As for the real person behind the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, it has always been a mystery in the entire Western Region. No one has ever known or even seen it. They only know that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is very powerful and has deep cooperation with many big nobles.
The amount of money he controls is unimaginable. Even many expensive treasures in Samarkand were given to his grandfather Timur by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
However, the main leaders of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under the Timur Empire were not Han Chinese, but Sogdians.
"Your elder brother is indeed very powerful."
After a long time, Pi'erma Heima sighed and said.
Zhu Yunwen nodded in agreement. He was now convinced of his eldest brother.
From Pi'erma Heima's reaction just now, it was not difficult for Zhu Yunzhi to guess that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under Big Brother Mo was probably much more famous outside the Ming Dynasty than he thought.
In fact, Pi'erma Heima and Zhu Yun didn't know that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the Timurid Empire and the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the Ming Dynasty can be strictly regarded as two different chambers of commerce and are more similar to the concept of franchisees in later generations.
The persons in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in the Mur Empire had relatively higher autonomy and were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, due to distance restrictions, Sogdians were basically the ones making the decisions.
Furthermore, the credit for the expansion of the chamber of commerce over there mainly lies with the person in charge.
Of course, the model of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce and the products from the Ming Dynasty are also irreplaceable for the chamber of commerce in the Timurid Empire.
The core economic lifeline is also controlled by the Ming Chamber of Commerce.
Businessmen are always seeking profits, and at least for now, the relationship between the two chambers of commerce is very harmonious.
In fact, there are many such elite chambers of commerce, and the Sogdians are not the only ones within the current scope of the Timur Empire. However, in terms of business, the Sogdians are the most famous.
The Sogdians are an ancient people from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in Central Asia who speak the Middle Eastern Iranian language.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, people's business activities that were active on the Silk Road promoted economic exchanges and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and built a bridge between agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, and between Eastern civilization and Western civilization.
The Judahs known as "Chinese", such as An Lushan during the Tang Dynasty, were Sogdians.
A large part of the Sogdians were influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and began to merge with the Han people. However, there is a big difference between the Sogdians on Timur's side and those on the Ming side.
"My eldest brother is not only very powerful in business, but also in the military."
Zhu Yunxuan said with a somewhat proud tone.
Perhaps this was the first time that he had described his eldest brother so proudly in front of outsiders, especially when he thought of the shocking training methods he performed at the palace martial arts field at that time, which would definitely make the person in front of him feel numb.
Shocked.
"Brother Yun, what do you mean? Could it be that this military parade was mainly organized by your eldest brother, His Highness Sun?"
Pierma Heima asked.
Managing and arranging are two different things.
If it is arranged, it is to strengthen the reputation of His Majesty the Great Sun, but the concept of organizing is completely different. Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "That's right, this military parade was organized by my eldest brother, even the large army included in it."
The training methods are also trained by my eldest brother himself."
"Just a few months ago, I was trained by my eldest brother in the martial arts arena in the palace, along with many princes."
"When you see it, you will naturally know that scene. It is really spectacular.'"
Recalling the scene in the palace, Zhu Yun couldn't help but look forward to the grand military parade. Not only that, but also the people watching the ceremony, it would definitely shock the world.
Hearing this, Pi'erma Heima became even more excited.
However, he did not ask for specific details. After all, it involves the army, and it is difficult to ask too much about some things. The identities of the two of them are laid out here.
After thinking for a moment, Pi'erma Heima followed suit and bowed: "Brother Yun, I have a merciless request."
Zhu Yundao said: "Friends like you and me, if you have any questions, just ask them directly. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Hearing this, Pi'erma Heima immediately said: "Recently, Tianjie Temple has notified us about the grand military parade in the capital, but the specific location of the envoys has not yet been decided. "I want to ask Brother Yun for help.
, find a good location to watch the ceremony.
When Zhu Yunxuan heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. He was the emperor's grandson, but Tianjie Temple, especially when it came to envoys, he had no right to arrange anything. Zhu Yunxuan, who didn't want to lose face, had to bite the bullet and said: "
I must ask my elder brother for instructions on this matter."
