Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 231 229 - King Yan's Funeral (Leader Plus 14)

In the past few years, Zhen Wu often went out with the army, and each time he was away from home for four to five months, and as long as eight or nine months. This was the first time he returned home in just one or two months.

So Zhang Yuqing and the others were a little surprised when they heard that Zhen Wu had returned.

At this time, the sun was slanting to the west, illuminating the room brightly.

After Zhang Yuqing stood up in surprise, seeing that Zhu Yuying was more reactive than her, she jumped down from the bed in a hurry. For a while, Zhang Yuqing couldn't care about the surprise, and couldn't help but jump in her heart, saying: "Oh, why don't you Still got up."

"Mother, it's okay." Zhu Yuying smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how long it's been."

"That's not okay, you sit down for your mother." Zhang Yuqing insisted.

Zhu Yuying looked out of the house pitifully, like a child wanting to go out to play, Zhang Yuqing didn't like this, and pulled her to sit down again.

Seeing this scene, Erxian, who had been in a slightly heavy mood, suddenly became much lighter. Not only did he sigh in his heart that the relationship between his elder brother and his sister-in-law is so good, otherwise his own sister-in-law would never know it. Looking forward to seeing more, I can't hold back.

After such a short delay, there were already hurried footsteps in the courtyard.

Zhu Yuying's eyes were bright, and she recognized that it was Zhen Wu. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant with a child, Zhu Yuying often thought about what Zhen Wu would look like when she found out. She touched her stomach involuntarily, wanting to tell Zhen Wu , she helped him conceive a child, and they had their offspring.

"Mom, I'm back."

Just as Zhen Wu's voice sounded, the person rushed into the room following the sound in two or three steps.

He paused for a while, and after greeting Zhang Yuqing and the two sages absent-mindedly, his eyes immediately fell on Zhu Yuying's body, so full that he couldn't take anything else.

Zhu Yuying smiled and nodded lightly, as if telling Zhen Wu that she was really pregnant.

Zhen Wu's eyes shifted from Zhu Yuying's face to his abdomen, he imagined a baby growing there, and couldn't help but want to yell out of excitement.

Zhang Yuqing had never seen Zhen Wu like this before. In her impression, her eldest son had always been stable, he was not in a hurry when encountering anything, and he was able to handle everything with ease.

It is more reasonable for the youngest to be as excited as today, as excited as a kid.

However, Zhang Yuqing also understood Zhen Wu, thinking that Zhen Wu's father knew it back then, and it was the same after she was pregnant with Zhen Wu.

"I'm going to be a father soon, and you're still in such a panic. Don't you worry about scaring me, an old woman, or your wife and children?" Zhang Yuqing deliberately reprimanded Zhen Wu with a smile in her eyes.

Zhen Wu reluctantly looked away from Zhu Yuying, and joked with Zhang Yuqing with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the wife and children are with you, don't be afraid of being scared."

The three of Zhang Yuqing laughed for a moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Yuqing said, "Look at your dusty body, hurry up and wash it off."

"Yes."

Zhen Wu responded, and then said to Zhu Yuying: "You rest with our mother's second sister first, and I will talk to you later."

Zhu Yuying nodded with a smile, she just felt that she was pregnant with a child and her husband came back, so there is no better life than now.

After Zhen Wu withdrew, he returned to his courtyard, washing his hands while thinking about how to take care of Zhu Yuying in the future.

Eat first.

Pregnant people can't always come with other people's diet, and when they turn back, they will have the small kitchen in their yard cleaned up. Ying will be hungry.

Then, Zhu Yuying's body is a little weak, so it won't work, you have to take her for a walk in the garden if you have nothing to do, you can't let her stay in the house all the time, and the dogs at home need to be tighter, and you can't let these things startle. Zhu Yuying.

Following Zhen Wu's random thoughts, he slowly washed up. When Zhen Wu came to the courtyard, he saw Xiu'er who was busy at the side, and beckoned: "Xiu'er, don't be too busy, let me tell you." something about you."

Xiu'er put down the work in her hand, walked over quickly with small steps and said: "Master Jun, please order."

Zhen Wu talked about what he thought just now.

While talking, seeing Xiu'er holding back a smile, Zhen Wu asked back, "What's wrong?"

Xiu'er smiled and said: "Earlier, the old lady and the princess have told me that the small kitchen in our courtyard has been cleaned up. As long as the princess wants to eat, we can light a fire at any time. The old lady and the princess have prepared a lot of things Woolen cloth."

Zhen Wu rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, Zhang Yuqing and Xu Miaoyun are both experienced people, what they can think of must be more complete than what Zhen Wu thinks, he is more worried, but so what, do you love your wife? , not shabby.

"That's good, that's fine, that's fine, go ahead." Zhen Wu shamelessly dismissed Zuo Xiu'er, then turned around and went to Zhang Yuqing's yard to accompany his wife.

……

Watermelon garden.

It's not a place where watermelons are grown, but Xiaoliu's yard. Since Zhu Yuying married here, Zhen Wu's family has changed their previous style and rapidly evolved to look like a truly prominent family.

First, they forced all the family members to arrange personal maids, and arranged servants to accompany them when they went out. Then, they sorted out the division of labor among the servants in the house. And uniformly divided all the servants into grades.

For first-class big maids, second-class maids, third-class young maids, or the chief steward of the courtyard, the reward and punishment system has also been finely revised, making the entire Zhen Mansion more orderly.

Although Zhang Yuqing had combed before with the help of Dongmei and the other two, but the combing was not as meticulous as Zhu Yuying's.

This made Zhen Wu have to sigh, after all, Zhu Yuying is His Royal Highness who came from the palace. Without Zhu Yuying, his family's rules and regulations would probably take a long time to slowly improve to become like this.

This reminded Zhen Wu of a joke in later generations. Most people in the world, even if they get rich suddenly, cannot live the meticulous and regular life of a real rich family.

This has nothing to do with how much money you have or how expensive your food is.

This is the way and habit of living since childhood.

There are too many rich and powerful days before it can evolve naturally.

Speaking of Watermelon Garden, this name was chosen by Xiao Liu himself. When Zhu Yuying asked Zhen Wu to name each courtyard, Xiao Liu happened to be playing around with Zhen Wu. After hearing this, he had to call this name on a whim. Wu also let Xiaoliu.

And Zhu Yuying asked Zhen Wu to name each courtyard for convenience.

For the sake of avoiding people often saying things like 'Grandpa's Yard' and 'Old Lady's Yard', Zhen Wu's yard is named 'Chengxiang Garden', Zhang Yuqing's is named 'Jufu Garden', as for the third child's, Zhen Wu named it I chose 'Jingyongyuan', so that the third child should not always know how to be fierce and fierce, but to maintain awe of bravery.

At this time, in the watermelon garden, 14-year-old Xiao Liu listened to the movement outside with his ears upright. After waiting for a long time, Zhen Wu did not come to coax her, and he sat down on the stool angrily and said nothing.

Hongdou, the little maid beside her, asked weakly, "Auntie, the uncle is back, why don't we go and see?"

"Look what, the last time I was punished, I didn't know to look for me when I came back, so I didn't look for him." Xiao Liuyue said more and more angrily, got up and picked up a soft bow from the side, and looked at Xiao Hongdou .

Xiao Hongdou immediately opened all the windows wisely, and then quickly stepped aside.

Xiao Liu put on an arrow feather angrily, then directly pulled the soft bow to its full arms, and shot it out of the window with a whoosh sound, hitting the arrow target not far from the window.

"Hmph, since I have a sister-in-law, she treats me more and more badly. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant with a little nephew, how can he remember that there is a sister like me?"

Xiao Hongdou sighed secretly, thinking that if the uncle knew that his sister was shooting arrows in the house again without telling the uncle whether he remembered this girl, the aunt might be beaten and ran away.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Liu suddenly said, "Xiao Hongdou, go and call me Xiao Qi."

"what?"

"Ah for what?"

Xiaohongdou wondered: "I want to take my anger out on Master Qi again. Grandpa is at home now, and Master Qi will definitely complain to Grandpa."

Xiao Liu didn't listen to Xiao Hongdou, and just stared at Xiao Hongdou.

Xiaohongdou had no choice but to rush to Xiaoqi's courtyard to invite Xiaoqi, but after a while, Xiaohongdou ran back, and she said to Xiaoliu with a bitter face: "Master Qi said he is not at home."

……

There are always these trivial things in the house, but if there are no such things in the house, there will be no fireworks.

On the second day, King Yan's Mansion.

As usual, Zhu Di came to his study, and first dealt with military affairs. After all the matters were dealt with, Zhu Di stood up, looked at the sky and it was almost noon, and thought about going to Zhen Wu's house after eating. voila.

Just as he was thinking about this, San Bao rushed in from the outside.

As soon as Sanbao entered the study, he knelt down and said with a pale face: "Your Highness, something is wrong, the emperor... the emperor has passed away."

Zhu Di didn't believe it at first, he just frowned, but he panicked the next moment, who would dare to talk nonsense about such things!
The voice of Sanbao was still ringing in the study: "The message sent by the carrier pigeon in Nanjing City said that the emperor's illness gradually worsened in May, until the tenth day of May...to the tenth day of May..."

After talking, Sanbao couldn't say anything anymore.

But the meaning has been fully conveyed.

Zhu Di slumped down on the chair all of a sudden, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed by the news.

One day later, Zhu Yuanzhang's edict was also sent to Beiping City. Zhu Di tremblingly opened the edict and looked at it: I have been entrusted with the destiny for thirty years. capital.Those who are not in the order, push this order to do it.

impossible.

Zhu Di's first reaction was that it was impossible, and his mind was full of thoughts, how could his father die, and how could he not let all the sons go to the funeral, he walked up and down on the ground frantically, chanting words all the time.

Until he accidentally fell to the ground, when Zhu Di looked up again, tears were streaming down his face, and he cried loudly: "Why did the father leave suddenly? He was nagging me a while ago, he was still nagging me a few days ago." me."

……

Following the delivery of the edict, the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death also spread in Beiping City, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Wangfu, even Zhen Wu was no exception.

All knew that a new age would bloom.

But the palace has been quiet and there is no movement, and Zhu Di just took Zhu Gaochi's third brother to worship at the palace to mourn Zhu Yuanzhang.

During this period, only Dao Yan came in and out a few times, and no one knew what he said.

Just when everyone thought it would be peaceful forever, however, on this day a week later, Zhu Di suddenly summoned all the cavalry of the guard army, and a total of [-] cavalry marched mightily towards Ying Tianfu.

Eight thousand cavalry marched lightly, along the official road, supplying supplies nearby, and made no secret of the news.

In this way, Zhu Di's behavior soon spread to Nanjing.

In Nanjing City, in the mansion of the son-in-law Mei Yin, when Mei Yin heard the news, she angrily twisted the letter into a ball, and said angrily, "If you listen to me, why did this happen? With this kind of method, the great-grandson would be forced to listen to Huang Zicheng's nonsense, why did he have a thorough understanding of the etiquette rules, and if there was a thorough study, the late emperor would be buried in a hurry after only laying the coffin for seven days?"

Princess Ningguo at the side changed her expression and said: "Shen Yan, now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, don't call him Taisun again."

Mei Yin sneered: "Yeah, he was in a hurry, he was afraid that he would succeed to the throne one day later, and he said that he would have a three-year funeral, which sounds nice, and he didn't even want to deal with the late emperor's affairs, just pretending in the imperial city What kind of funeral is a funeral?"

It was not without reason that Mei Yin was so angry. Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang died on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month. After discussing with Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly buried Zhu Yuanzhang on the sixteenth day of the fifth month.

On the same day, that is, the emperor's throne, announced to the world, amnesty the world, and set next year as the first year of Jianwen, and under the persuasion of Huang Zicheng and others who said, "The world cannot be without a master for a day, and the superior cannot be neglected in the government for a day", crying It was decided to sit in the imperial city for a three-year mourning period.

The funeral of such a generation of emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ended in a hurry.

Compared with the funeral that Zhu Yuanzhang handled for Zhu Biao back then, it is simply a world of difference.

The benevolent Zhu Yunwen, his true nature is beginning to emerge.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t only have grandsons, he also had sons. Zhu Di originally planned to follow the will and stay in the feudal state honestly, but this deception was too much, and Zhu Di had to come to ask for an explanation, even if it violated Zhu Yuanzhang’s will.

Princess Ningguo was also quite dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's funeral for her father, but she still sighed and persuaded Mei Yin: "What can we do, the new emperor won't listen to you, what's the use of being angry, besides It is said that before the father left, he specially asked you to assist the new emperor, even if you were a little dissatisfied, you can't ignore the father's order."

Speaking of this, Princess Ningguo paused and said: "Besides, once the emperor and the courtiers, you are the minister who cares about the fate left by the father, and you still need to consider more for the new emperor. He is so anxious, after all, is he afraid of me? The fourth brother is here."

Mayym sighed heavily.

At the same time, in the imperial city, in the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Yunwen summoned Qitai and Huang Zicheng, and asked in a panic: "Now that the King of Yan is coming, and he is coming to Huai'an, what should I do?"

Qi Tai was born in Jieyuan of Yingtian Mansion. He is currently the left servant of the Ministry of War, but he is about to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. After Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne, he immediately accepted Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to participate in the state affairs. Huang Zicheng insisted that once Zhu Yuanzhang asked him about the border generals, Qi Tai was able to give a good answer, and then Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the border map, Qi Tai actually took out a booklet from his sleeve and summarized these atlases.

You must know that this is a spot check, not prepared in advance, so Qi Tai is very valued by Zhu Yuanzhang. Before he died, he was called by Zhu Yuanzhang to assist Zhu Yunqi. Is it just talking on paper?

As for Huang Zicheng, this guy was selected as an accompanying student in the East Palace early on, and all his positions were editors and writers, or he gave lectures to Zhu Yunqi, but he has Zhu Yunqi's trust, the point is that he still thinks he is very good.

One of the more famous things about the two of them is that when Zhu Yunqi wanted to cut down the vassal, Qi Taijianyan first cleaned up Zhu Di, and made a good suggestion. In the name of defending the border, he sent troops to defend Kaiping, and then Transfer all Zhu Di's guards outside the Great Wall, and wait for Zhu Di's wings to be cut off, and Zhu Di can naturally be flattened slowly.

If Zhu Yunqi had listened to Qi Tai's words, he would not know what to do, but Zhu Yunqi obviously trusted his accompanying lecturer Huang Zicheng more. Inverted.

Speaking of which, there is another important member of Zhu Yunqi's team, Fang Xiaoru, but he has not entered Beijing yet, but Fang Xiaoru needs no introduction, he is quite famous, his name is Zhou Li, and his name is Ten Clan Layman.

At this time, Qi Tai and the two listened to Zhu Yunqi's question. Before Qi Tai could speak, Huang Zicheng jumped out with a face full of confidence. Do you still remember asking your ministers about the power of the kings?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded.

He remembered that at that time, not long after he became the emperor's grandson, he felt very unconfident in the face of Yan and Jin, so he asked Huang Zicheng: "All the uncles and vassals have heavy troops. If there is a change, what should we do?"

At that time, Huang Zicheng replied very confidently: "The kings only have guards, and they can only defend themselves. If there is a change, they can be supervised by six divisions. Who can resist? The seven kingdoms of the Han Dynasty are not weak, and they perished in the end. Big or small The forces of strength and weakness are different, and the principles of pros and cons are even more different!"

The simple meaning is that if the kings dare to jump, they can be slapped to death with one slap, so there is no need to worry at all.

It is also this sentence, coupled with Huang Zicheng's influence on Zhu Yunqi later, that gave Zhu Yunqi confidence, so Huang Zicheng is also called Mr. Huang in contacts.

And in Huang Zicheng's heart, he really didn't take Zhu Di seriously, but he didn't know if Huang Zicheng forgot that there was a person named Zhou Yafu when he told Zhu Yunwen about the history of the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, or how could he have forgotten what Zhou Yafu did? net.

Qi Tai didn't know what charade they were playing, so they remained silent.

Huang Zicheng grinned and said: "You can notify the Beijing camp in advance to make preparations, and another person will go to stop it with the late emperor's edict, angrily scolding the king of Yan for violating the late emperor's edict, so that the king of Yan can retreat in the face of difficulties."

Zhu Yunqi got a solution and was overjoyed: "Thanks to Mr. Huang, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it, so who do you think should be punished? In fact, I don't want to go to war with my fourth uncle at this time, otherwise how will the people of the world treat me, so It is best to choose a good minister to go and persuade King Yan to return to the north, so that everyone will be happy."

Huang Zicheng thought about it.

At this time Qi Tai stood up and said: "The imperial edict was issued by this minister to inform the world, so let this minister go."

Zhu Yunxuan was overjoyed again: "In this way, there will be Lao Qi's servant. If you return after success this time, I will promote you to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I will have something to say to other courtiers."

"The humble minister will surely live up to his high expectations and return after success."

Zhu Yunxuan nodded, then said some things, and then let them go on their own errands. Qi Tai held Zhu Yuanzhang's will and took some soldiers with him, without too much delay, he went directly to Huai'an.

He was actually a little worried in his heart, worried that Zhu Di was used to fighting in the battlefield, he would not listen to dissuasion, and then cut him down without saying a word.

But after he touched the edict in his arms, the worry dissipated.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him strength and made him feel that he is very brave now.

Qi Tai touched the Yizhao again, and looked forward with sharp eyes. He didn't believe that Zhu Di dared not listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's words!
……
