Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1132 Morning is the beginning of the day

In a trance, he came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony again. Wang Tong knew that this was a dream of memories, but every time it was so real, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake every time.
". Cut off the heads of 30 Japanese soldiers. Cut off the heads of Toyotomi, Tokugawa, and Maeda. , Sado Oshima, and Sakai Town are the territories of the Ming Dynasty, and Wa Kingdom is willing to pay 50 taels of gold, 500 million taels of silver, and 200 taels of women. Every year, it is willing to offer 100 million taels of silver and [-] million shi of rice.”

"Why is this a town, and what kind of island is it? Can't we just build a million hectares of fertile land?"

"Brother, I thought the same way before, and after I inquired about it, I found out that Hizen and Sakai Town are on the side of the Japanese pirates, which means our Daming Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Prefecture, and Sado Oshima, tsk tsk, five golden mountains, eighteen Silver Mountain!"

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, if the censor investigates you for being inappropriate in front of the palace, you will be guilty for nothing, brother, your family also has a lot of property, so you are not going to try it in Japan?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, he, Wang Tong, fought too fast. He entered the Wa Kingdom in the middle of the 21st year of Wanli, and returned with a big victory in the 22nd year. Repeatedly, wait until you stabilize before it’s too late.”

"Oh, this Wang Tong is in his 30s, the murder is too serious. The other family chopped off a thousand heads of Tartars back then, so they could have a future as a marquis. Nearly a hundred people died in his hands. By the way, can you sleep tonight?"

"It's useless to say these things. Your Majesty, the Supervisor of Rituals, and the cabinet have all discussed it. This time, Wang Tong was given the title of County King. Half of the land in Japan and North Korea was granted to him. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu probably didn't expect it. Today, Zhang Taiyue doesn't know what to think when he sees today."

"Hehe, let's see if Wang Tong refuses or refuses. Last time he gave up his great work and hid in Songjiang, but now he can't give up!"

"Several, several, low-pitched, the censor looked over, you said this, Wang Tong glanced at me when he went to the hall, I was cold all over, murderous, I go back tonight, I want a hot drink Jiu Nuan warms the body, speaking of it, there is no such thing as grace, the crown prince is here, and the emperor and the prince personally greet him."

It is said that the Imperial Palace is quiet and there is no sound, but Wang Tong can still vaguely hear these words, but seeing the Emperor Wanli in front of him and the Crown Prince Zhu Changxun at the side, it seems that he did not hear this, and the appearance of the rest of the people is also a little vague. Only Zhao Jinliang and Wang Tong, who accompanied Zhu Changxun, could see clearly that when he heard that he captured Daban, Zhao Jinliang was appointed as the companion of the prince Zhu Changxun, which almost determined his wealth for the rest of his life.

"When you come back this time, stay in the capital and don't leave. Help me deal with the government affairs. If you leave again, people in the world will laugh at our monarchs and ministers."

Emperor Wanli said with a smile, Wang Tong didn't pay attention to these words, nor did he pay attention to the vague smiles behind Emperor Wanli, he just looked at the prince Zhu Changxun on the side.

Sure enough, although he was smiling gently, the prince Zhu Changxun, who had been cared for in the inner palace since he was a child, still retreated back in awe, obviously scared, and the distance between the two sides is very far, so it stands to reason that Wang Tong couldn't hear what he said. But still clearly heard:

"Companion, I'm afraid."

Zhao Jinliang seemed to ponder for a while, and then said firmly:
"There are slaves here, Your Highness need not be afraid."

After speaking, he stood sideways in front of Prince Zhu Changxun, and looked at Wang Tong indifferently.
"When~~~"

Long bells and drums sounded, first it was dark, and then Wang Tong opened his eyes

"Dream about this again."

The plain-colored tent came into view, and the sound of light footsteps could be heard outside the house.

Wang Tong shook his head, took a deep breath, and sat up on the side of the bed. When he moved, the woman beside him was also awakened, and opened his eyes and asked:
"emperor."

"You just need to sleep for a while, I can't sleep."

"Is the emperor dreaming again?"

I remember that when I first saw Lu Ruomei next to me, she still had black hair, and now it was a little frosty. Wang Tong touched his face subconsciously, and now it was also full of wrinkles.

"When you get old, you have more dreams.

"Your Majesty has woken up, come in and serve."

Lu Ruomei by the bed had already sat up with her clothes on, and pulled a hanging rope on the bed curtain, she could hear the bell ringing outside, and footsteps sounded in front of the bed, someone said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, please dress and wash."

Wang Tong had already got out of bed, and saw a few court ladies waiting outside, and an eunuch wearing a boa robe was waiting there. This eunuch was in his 40s and was quite refined. Seeing this person, Wang Tong frowned. said:
"Shen An, it's better for you to worry less about these things of serving people. What you do in the secretary prison is central work, not the affairs of these housekeepers."

The eunuch bowed with a smile and said:

"Long live Lord Shengming, these palace people in the palace are still not familiar with the work of the inner officials. It is not convenient for Long live Lord and the empresses to use it. After the servants have trained them, they will concentrate on state affairs."

In the second year of Dahuawu, [-] in the Western calendar, the day in the palace began as usual, with some people serving and washing, some responsible for dressing, and some rushing to arrange breakfast.

The palace ladies were running around, a busy scene, but compared to the ostentation in the palace in the Ming Dynasty, this was at best the scale of a wealthy family.

Among the busy palace people, there are not many eunuchs, and occasionally one is over 30 years old. In the past, this kind of work was done by eunuchs in their teens.

In the 41st year of Emperor Wanli, he stopped recruiting officials into the palace. In the first year of Wu, Emperor Wu sent all the officials in the palace under the age of 30 to Liaoning and Jianzhou General's Mansion, and distributed land, farm tools and the first year The rations are ordered to live on their own, and there are strict orders that eunuchs and those who come from the palace will be executed.

Internal officials over the age of 30 are appointed according to their respective directors. The 24 yamen in the palace correspond to the official offices outside the palace.

The current palace, apart from being much more secure than the common people, is no different from the wealthy and powerful families in other aspects. There are also scholars among the people who joke in private, saying that the current imperial palace is not much richer than the Liao government in those days. He has become an emperor, but he still doesn't know how to isolate China and foreign countries.

Although the secretary supervisor has the name of "supervisor", it is not an internal official office. He is composed of some eunuchs from the former court, the internal official supervisor, and Wang Tong's shogunate. He is a counselor and assists Wang Tong in handling For government affairs, the secretary supervises one secretary-general, one left and one secretary participates in politics, eleven secretarial counselors, and 120 secretaries in charge.

When this institution was first established, many people rumored that in the past, the Hua Dynasty would replace the cabinet and supervisors with secretaries and inspectors, and internal officials would be in charge of state affairs.

However, everyone soon discovered that the position of the secretary supervisor is not high in the new dynasty's system, and the cabinet that was thought to be abolished by everyone has been greatly strengthened.

There are many eunuchs in the secretarial prison. Like other courtiers, these eunuchs have their own residences in the capital and do not live in the palace. However, the operation and maintenance of the palace cannot be done casually. Instruct the operation in the palace, let the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs learn, these few internal officials can't live in the palace forever.

The current imperial palace is located in Xiyuan, and the rest of the Forbidden City, except for a few halls, are constantly being renovated and rebuilt to serve as official offices. access to the royal garden.

Xiyuan is not too big. After Wang Tong finished washing, he had breakfast with Lu Ruomei, and then went to Wangtian Tower near the lake as usual.

The place where the emperor handles political affairs is the Political Affairs Hall, which is next to Wenyuan Pavilion. Strictly speaking, that location is now outside the palace. This efficiency is much higher than before.

"Your Majesty, Li Shun came to Beijing to see him today. After seeing His Majesty, the servants will arrange for someone to bring him here so that the painter can copy it."

The eunuch Shen An, who had been following Wang Tong, reported that Wang Tong nodded. The windows of Wangtianlou were not made of paper, but glass made by Tianjin Weijiangfang. It is said that it can only be made at a certain time, but Wang Tong personally broke this superstition when he was still a courtier, but the technology is still far behind that of Europe. Jin Yiwei spent thousands of taels of gold to buy the formula in Italy. The interiors of wealthy families are much brighter than a few years ago.

Although Wangtian Tower has a big name, it only has two floors. The construction methods are also very different from this era. It is mainly made of bricks and stones, which is very spacious and tall. After Wang Tong became the emperor, he built it for himself. This is the case for private buildings. They still use their own expenses without touching the national treasury. During the construction process, architects from Europe participated.

After entering the gate of Wangtian Tower, you can smell the smell of ink, which is very pungent, as if there are things like medicinal materials in it.

When the guards downstairs saw Wang Tong, they all bowed to salute. Warriors don't have to kneel when they carry swords on errands. This is one of the rules of the new dynasty. When saluting, they reported:
"Your Majesty, the painters have arrived and started painting."

Wang Tong nodded, and walked up to the second floor with everyone. There are some stone pillars on the first floor of Wangtian Tower, and the second floor is even more spacious. More than a dozen painters are engrossed in painting scrolls on the walls.

The huge wall was used as a drawing board. The painters only knew that the emperor was coming after being greeted. Everyone hurriedly came over to pay respects. Since they started painting, they already knew Wang Tong's habit of coming. Shen An made a few gestures. , All the people retreated quietly, only a few personal guards stood far away.

The painting is not finished yet, and many parts are still incomplete, but Wang Tong is still fascinated by it——
Everyone, there is no end to the book, and everything that should be explained clearly will be explained. Please rest assured that the outline will not be exhausted.
