Daming heir

Chapter 152

"You go to work."

Just when Zhu Yunxi was about to explain, Tang Queqing looked at him softly with light eyebrows, and said something softly.

Tang Queqing looked at the man in front of him who was destined to be with him forever, with tenderness on his face and pity in his heart.

The children of the gentry in the court are still arty; the children of the generals in the capital are still riding horses and parading through the streets.

The man in front of him has already taken on the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Queqing covered the back of Zhu Yunxi's hands with both hands, pushed and shoved gently, and said softly: "I heard that you like to drink the local chicken soup from Luzhou Mansion the most. You haven't come back before, and the concubine has already cooked it. Stew it slowly. When you finish your work, it will be ready to drink when you come back."

This is completely into the character.

Zhu Yunxi had already stood up, took Tang Queqing's hand, and patted it gently.

Under Tang Queqing's calm eyes, Zhu Yunxi walked out of the corridor.

"The ministers and others see the emperor's grandson."

In the East Palace Piandian tea room, Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan, who had already rested for a while, heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, hurriedly put down their teacups, and got up to salute one after another.

Saying goodbye to the love of children, Zhu Yunxi, who rushed over from the lotus pond, waved his hands casually: "Sit down."

As he spoke, he himself was already sitting on the main seat.

The little eunuch Yu Tian who came behind him bowed and poured him a cup of golden tea soup.

Zhu Yunxi's expression was as usual, but his gaze was just looking at him lightly.

Yu Tian hurriedly lowered his head, put down the teapot carefully, put his hands together, and stepped back silently.

After that, a smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face and he looked at the three people who sat down again in front of him.

Strictly speaking, apart from their official positions and affairs in the court, the three of Xie Jin today are more like royal secretaries.

Both Xie Jin and Tie Xuan had a calm expression on their faces, but Xia Yuanji, who was also in charge of the Ministry of Household Cleaning Department, looked hesitant and depressed.

Today, I heard that the national treasury is empty at the old man's side. Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, drank a sip of tea, and asked lightly: "But you are worried about money and food?"

Xie Jin and Tie Xuan immediately looked at Xia Yuanji who hadn't gone out to drink with them in the past few days.

Xia Yuanji nodded helplessly: "The summer tax has not yet been sent to Beijing, but the imperial court spends money every day. Mr. Shang Shu is already getting angry, and there are several blisters on the corners of his mouth. This minister is considered light."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and suddenly stared at Xia Yuanji with a smile in his eyes.

Being stared at by the emperor's grandson, Xia Yuanji couldn't help feeling guilty, and his back felt numb.

He felt that there was something bad about the appointment, and it was about to happen to him.

Xia Yuanji hesitated and whispered: "The grandson of the emperor wants to..."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, looking extraordinarily indifferent, and then muttered and said casually: "It's nothing serious, but it's His Majesty's Longevity Day this year, it's decided today, and it has to be done. I invite you to take over this matter." Regarding this matter, I also patted my chest in front of His Majesty to guarantee that this year will definitely be more lively!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji felt his eyes go dark, and his mind was buzzing.

Where is the scenery to be done.

This is plain and clear, written in two big ink characters.

want money!

Xie Jin and Tie Xuan sat beside each other with smiles on their faces. They picked up the teacup tacitly, and secretly looked at each other while drinking tea.

In the past few days, his two couples, Xia Yuanji, have gotten to know each other well.As the three of them entered the palace to counsel state affairs, the invisible status of the three of them in the court was obviously raised.

And the result that followed was that each of them was in the yamen, and the things they took on became more and more important.

However, whether it is a scholar of the Imperial Academy or a staff member of the Ministry of Rites, no matter how busy and heavy the work is, it is far inferior to the already complicated affairs of the Ministry of Households.

Xia Yuanji these days, although he is only cleaning up the head of the department, he does not need to be taken lightly by those doctors. Even the servant of the household department often runs to him, discussing with him some things that are not available. .

What I did was just for the four characters of forming a good relationship.

Xia Yuanji learned that His Majesty's Longevity Festival will be held in the court this year, and he opened his mouth weakly: "Emperor Grandson, you didn't bring this up before His Majesty, did you?"

According to His Majesty's temperament, this year is another eventful year, and no matter what, he would not think about organizing a special event for his Longevity Day, and it will be rushed.

Then there is only one possibility, which is the idea of ​​the grandson of the emperor.

Looking at Xia Yuanji's appearance that he was about to roll his eyes and fall down at any time.

Zhu Yunxi also stopped teasing him, and said seriously: "Don't worry, the household department has no money, and the situation of living on counting money will not last long. This year's grandpa's birthday celebration expenses, the household department does not have to worry about it. "

"Really?" Xia Yuanji's heart felt hot, and he hurriedly got up and asked.

Turning around to realize it, Shanshan smiled awkwardly, and sat down silently.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and explained: "In the past few days, brother Wei Zhe first sorted out the number of Zhili post stations, personnel, land occupation, etc. in detail, and then took out the details of the numerous post stations in Daming. If this matter is done well Now, the annual income of the imperial court is not less than 10 taels, and it will become a benevolent government that benefits the people!"

Xia Yuanji frowned upon hearing the sound.

The grandson of the emperor is going to attack the court?

Not only him, but even Xie Jin and Tie Xuan, who were watching the play just now, couldn't help looking at the emperor grandson.

They have been by Zhu Yunxi's side for quite a long time, and they can't see that this young grandson of the emperor has countless thoughts about everything above the court.

Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the three of them, Zhu Yunxi knew that they thought he was going to do something at this time, pushing the two words that all officials have feared and dreaded since ancient times.

reform.

He laughed and said: "It's just to add some income to the court, and it won't go to war, nor will it take profits from the people."

Xie Jin heard the words, smiled and echoed: "The emperor's grandson is benevolent, and the ministers are relieved."

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and then said: "Since the Longevity Festival is going to be held for grandpa, the local officials in Daming probably won't be able to make it according to the time.

The local government of Zhili would like to say that officials who are in Beijing this year, the rest do not need to enter Beijing, let alone send congratulatory gifts to Beijing. Anyone who violates the law will be reprimanded by the court and the central government. If it is serious, it will be punished by a judge! "

To do a special event, and to do it in a splendid manner, does not mean that all local officials from the Ming Dynasty should come to Beijing.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's arrangement, the three of Xie Jin were even more determined.

Otherwise, local officials would come out in full force for such things as the emperor's longevity festival, and the expenses along the way would cost the court countless money and food.

Not to mention, these local officials still have to choose congratulatory gifts for the emperor, and this account will eventually be counted on the heads of the local people.

Only at this time, Zhu Yunxi changed his words again: "However, it has been 34 years since the founding of our Ming Dynasty. There are also many envoys from foreign countries in Beijing. I want to let them know that they will come to the palace this Longevity Festival. You must listen to the orders of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Why did this topic jump from the post station to the Fanbang vassal state?

The three of Xie Jin looked at each other helplessly again.

On the contrary, Tie Xuan, the Ministry of Rites, suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the grandson of the emperor may not know that two groups of envoys from the Wa Kingdom have disembarked at the Songjiang Mansion at the same time in the past few days, and they entered the city today. .”

In the first few years of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship with the Wa Kingdom was very bad.

In the early years of Hongwu, the Japanese state even killed the envoys sent by Daming.Later, in order to alleviate the Japanese invasion in the southeast coast, Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his anger and sent envoys again, but he was not killed again, but the relationship with the Japanese country did not make much progress.

Zhu Yunxi never imagined that the little...Wa kingdom would arrange envoys to Beijing this year.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji didn't know the domestic details of Wa Kingdom, so they asked suspiciously: "Two batches of envoys? Why?"

Tie Xuan smiled: "I heard from the Songjiang Mansion that the country of Wa has not been very peaceful these years, and the country has been divided into two groups, which have been fighting all the time."

After hearing the words, Xie Jin immediately said quietly: "So, they came here to ask for my help, Daming?"

Tie Xuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "The report sent by the Songjiang Mansion to the Ministry of Rites stated that the two groups of people were in completely different situations. They disembarked almost at the same time. One group was proud and well-dressed. On the contrary The other group of people, it seems...that day seemed to be quite miserable..."

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji laughed immediately.

At this time, Xia Yuanji also forgot the troubles of the household department, and said: "Then there must be something for me, Daming. Otherwise, he would not have entered the court at the same time at this time."

Xie Jin looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Emperor Taisun, the Japanese country belongs to my Ming Dynasty, and the most important thing is the Japanese invasion in the southeast coast. This time, maybe our dynasty can take this opportunity to reduce the pressure on the southeast coast. Our dynasty must not miss it." Such a great opportunity.”

The Japanese invaders on the southeast coast were spontaneously carried out by the poor people in the Japanese territory, and some were transported back to the country in order to plunder resources in the Southern Dynasties.

If the territory of the Japanese country can be appeased, the Japanese invasion along the coast of Daming will definitely be alleviated a lot.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi asked, "Over there, has there been any news about the Lee family's North Korea?"

Tie Xuan frowned and pondered for a moment: "Li's North Korea has always had envoys in Beijing. I don't know what the emperor's grandson asked, what is the arrangement?"

The corner of Zhu Yunxi's mouth raised slightly: "Knowing the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, I will arrange the two groups of Japanese envoys to stay next to Li's North Korean envoys."

Tie Xuan couldn't help being taken aback: "Wa's envoys who entered the court this time are also put together?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Tie Xuan, and said calmly: "Since they are all envoys of the Japanese kingdom, how can we arrange two places? My Ming Dynasty wants to respect foreign countries and foreign countries, how can we divide one country into two in the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" Half?"

Tie Xuan was a little hesitant, always feeling that the grandson of the emperor was holding back some tricks and didn't explain it to them.

It can be seen that Tie Xuan can only respond to the expressions of the emperor's grandson and his radiance.
