I want to be a grandson

Chapter 616 Don't Have A Taste...

"Cao Guogong, you've improved your studies here, what books do you read?"

Basking in the warm sun on the withered grass is really very comfortable, Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair and said to Li Jinglong who was standing beside him.

Hearing this, Li Jinglong hurried forward two steps, and said with a coy smile: "Your Majesty, I have only read a few idle books recently, and I dare not think about knowledge. Don't you know how much I am here, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yunxi pointed to the stool beside him and signaled him to sit down. Li Jinglong sat down after thanking him, but he didn't sit down firmly, and his buttocks only sat on the corner of the stool.

Zhu Yunxi said: "When I saw the horse and the giraffe brought back just now, other people only knew the general idea, but you can quote the scriptures and discuss it, and what you said is really well-organized. It's hard to be unconvinced. It's just that your knowledge hasn't improved yet? "

Li Jinglong's face turned red, he cleared his throat, bowed his hands in a nervous expression and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I secretly ran to take a look because I knew that Ma He had brought back a unicorn in advance... …

After reading it, I was also very surprised, so I went home and found out all the books my father sealed in the box and compared them, so that I can give a general idea..."

"My minister is guilty, please punish him!" As he spoke, he was about to get up and kneel.

Ersan held him back with one hand, "What are you doing with such a grand ceremony, you are all relatives, you are just checking in advance, what is that? Please sit down."

"Yes, I thank you, Your Majesty..."

Li Jinglong felt relieved at this moment, after all, he intentionally concealed it for the sake of "performance". Although this is not a big mistake, after all, he was playing tricks here.

And Zhu Yunxi also understood the reason why he did this, which is to use the scriptures and classics to explain that the giraffe is the ancient auspicious beast unicorn, so as to confirm the auspiciousness of the unicorn from the sky and the arrival of the sage.

If he really accepted this point of view, then Li Jinglong would also make contributions and be rewarded for it, but in general, Zhu Yunxi would ultimately benefit from what he did.

Because even if he personally said that the one locked in the garden was not a unicorn, it would invisibly increase his prestige. An emperor who disdains to be blessed by foreign things dares to deny it, which in itself is great self-confidence and the determination to become a holy king. !

So even Li Jinglong's "mistake" will become Zhu Yunxie's assist!

"You are so open-minded! I said why you have suddenly improved your knowledge by leaps and bounds. It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time, hehe..."

"Uh... I dare not hide it from His Majesty."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, looking at the garden where Xu Miaojin and the concubines of the harem were visiting the giraffe, because they were far away and couldn't see in, but they could also feel their surprise from their exclamation and laughter.

Presumably they also thought it was a unicorn.

"Cao Guogong, what do you think about Liang Daoming's request to include the Three Buddhas Qi Shichen?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

"Your Majesty, I think that I, Daming, should be sympathetic to the sufferings of the local people, agree to their request, and set up prefectures and counties in Sanfoqi."

Li Jinglong frowned and looked sad, endless sorrow and infinite sympathy immediately appeared in his eyes,
He sighed and said: "I understand that the local people in Sanfoqi have suffered from wars for many years. The leaders of the country attack each other and are hostile to each other. They even massacre men and women at every turn. It is completely inhumane.
There are also small countries in the surrounding area who frequently attack and fight. They don't have the benevolence of Ming Dynasty, and they don't have much medicine, so there are countless casualties..."

As if he was talking about the sad part, Li Jinglong reached out to touch his eyes, as if to wipe away the tears,
"As far as Wei Chen knows, the local people live in a very difficult situation. They often eat wild fruits and vegetables, or even grass roots and bark to satisfy their hunger. I don't know how many people died of starvation...

When they saw the Daming Mission, they saw the strength and wealth of my Ming Dynasty, so they sought refuge in order to survive, and hoped that Da Ming could enlighten them and save them from the fire and water..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the cousin in front of him who looked like a showman, and couldn't help laughing in his heart!
After hearing some of the tragic situations of Sanfoqi, I can empathize with them, as if I was there, and even experienced those pains personally!
With this acting skill, he will be at the level of an actor in later generations!How embarrassing are those greasy CEOs...

"You mean Daming should agree to their request?"

It is estimated that Li Jinglong will really cry out with snot and tears if he continues to act, and he is also shocked when he sees it, so Zhu Yunxi hurriedly interrupted his acting skills.

"Yes! Of course I must!"

Li Jinglong said with red eyes: "How can you not agree to such a favor to the foreign vassal and to save the people! Your Majesty please allow me!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, as if thinking deeply.

Upon seeing this, Li Jinglong hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, everyone in the five-army governor's mansion thinks this should be the case. After returning, I will write a letter immediately!"

"Hey, why are you talking about this? I'm taking you out for a walk today to relax. This conversation has touched on state affairs..."

Zhu Yunxi stood up with a smile and asked, "Look, it's almost noon today, what are you going to eat at noon?"

Li Jinglong knew that what he said had won the approval of the emperor, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Hearing this, he quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have made arrangements. There are all kinds of dishes, and there are some wild game. Let everyone try something new... ..."

The harem concubines rarely come out, and they are in a happy mood, so everything they see is fresh, and a group of women get together to have something special to say.

At noon, everyone ate in the garden of the elephant house, which was a bit like a picnic, and there were not as many rules and etiquette in the palace, so there were a lot of laughter.

After eating, Zhu Yunxi was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be tired, so he thought of driving back to the palace, but Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood, enjoying the family happiness, and refused to go back no matter what.

So the group of people didn't set off until the sky was getting dark, the cool air dropped, and they had enough fun, and then they set off to return.

"Your Majesty is tired, come here, get some water to wash your feet."

Back in the palace, Xu Miaojin quickly ordered someone to wait for Zhu Yunxi to wash his feet to relieve fatigue.

Xiao Qing, who was standing by the side, heard that he had received a blessing, and stepped back gently. After a while, he brought a basin of hot water and put it in front of Zhu Yunxi's feet, and squatted down to take off his shoes and socks.

"Xiaoqing..."

Xu Miaojin quickly called her to stop, and asked: "Go and see if the emperor is asleep, if not, let the nanny remember to breastfeed."

"Yes, this servant obeys..." Xiaoqing stopped what she was doing, and retreated silently.

After Xiaoqing left, Xu Miaojin beckoned to other maids to take off Zhu Yunxi's socks and wash his feet. After scrubbing for a while, the maids added hot water to soak his feet.

Xu Miaojin signaled the maid to step back, and sat on the chair beside Zhu Yunxi, her phoenix eyes turned slightly, looking extremely handsome,
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi asked, "What's the matter, who provoked you?"

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and my concubine can't bear it..."

Looking at Xu Miaojin, who is a new mother, she has a lot of body, and is a little round and beautiful. Seeing that her eyebrows are more charming, she has a special charm,
So he grabbed her hand, and suddenly pulled her into his arms, Xu Miaojin let out a soft cry in fright, the phoenix hairpin on her head trembled, don't tremble,
"Oh, Your Majesty..."

"Don't move!"

Zhu Yunxi hugged her, let her sit in his arms safely, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you angry with me?"

At this time Xu Miaojin didn't dare to move, for fear that he would make an inch!

As an emperor, it doesn't matter if he can be a bit of a loafer, at most he can be called romantic and elegant, but he is a queen, he must pay attention to his dignified appearance and majesty, so how dare he let him mess around in front of the maids!

"Your Majesty, the emperor's son has been born for almost three months. The little guy is very strong, and he doesn't have to be so nervous to wait around him anymore. You must give Xiaoqing a title, right?"

"You have mentioned this eight hundred times!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Let's wait for the emperor to grow up, you are so strong and agile, you can't work hard, you have to have considerate people around you to serve you..."

"That won't do!"

Xu Miaojin said: "Your Majesty, it has been several months, and Xiaoqing's status has not been determined for a long time. If this continues, how can I, a queen, assist the harem? There are many maids around me, and I don't need her to be by my side all the time." Serve..."

After begging for a long time, Zhu Yunxi was also afraid of leaving others with the reputation of being ruthless, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, then it's up to you, but you still need to choose a few more smart and down-to-earth people here, so that I can do it. rest assured."

"Yes, my concubine obeys!"

Xu Miaojin was very happy, she thought of something and tilted her head to remind: "Your Majesty, Xiaoqing has been with me since she was a child, this is also half of my natal family, this level..."

Zhu Yunxie said: "There are rules in the palace, whatever the title should be, even if Xiaoqing is close to you, you can't mess with the rules..."

"His Majesty……"

Xu Miaojin pursed her lips, her eyes were filled with affection, her mature charm was full of unhappiness, Zhu Yunxi felt itchy when she saw it, one hand became dishonest, and her eyes looked away,

Miao Renfeng arrived at...

However, he still explained earnestly in order to distract her attention, and said: "I will have a long time in the palace, there is always a chance to show favor to her, why rush for a while..."

The ranks of concubines in the harem of the Ming Dynasty included empress, imperial concubine, noble concubine, concubine, concubine, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauty, talent, nobleman, servant, lady, etc.

Although it has changed from time to time, it is not static, but it is roughly the same.

It is not to say that concubines have no status in the palace because of their low rank. For example, the well-known servant Li Xuan is very popular with Zhu Changluo of Ming Guangzong. According to historical records, she is very popular. Zhu Youjian's adoptive mother,
She was selected as a servant at the beginning, Guangzong succeeded to the throne, and wanted to make her an imperial concubine, the imperial concubine canonization ceremony was approaching, but suddenly Guangzong passed away, this is the protagonist of Hong Wen's case.

Because of this, Li Xuanshi was not granted the title, and Emperor Xizong succeeded to the throne and was honored as Concubine Kang. Under the instigation of Zheng Guifei, this Li Xuanshi stayed in Qianqing Palace, defending with offense, and instigated some veteran officials to seek titles for her.

At the same time, he detained Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao, and ordered all court memorials to be handed over to him for review. He was the protagonist of one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, the "Moving Palace Case".

So it's not that low grade means no status, the key is whether the emperor favors or not.

"His Majesty……"

This time Xu Miaojin finally found out that something was wrong, because there was something in her arms that drew circles and squares...

"Queen, it's getting late, let's rest..."

"Um……"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi picked her up, he walked towards the bed. The maid serving at the door saw this and closed the door wisely.

……

"Your Majesty, this is the list of rewards proposed by the servants. Your Majesty will check to see if it is appropriate."

In the palace, eunuch Li Fu handed a list of rewards to Zhu Yunxie's desk.

Zhu Yunxi opened the list and looked at it, and couldn't help but said to Ma and Wang Yi who were begging to see him: "Look, you finally brought back some good things for me, and they haven't warmed up yet. The palace will reward you..."

Ma He knew that it was because the queen gave birth to the eldest son. Now that some time has passed, and the Hundred Days Banquet is coming soon, so he must give some rewards to the courtiers.

According to the ancient customs, when a baby is one month old, a full moon wine is set up to celebrate.

Of course, there are also banquet guests, but there are fewer of them. After all, the medical conditions in ancient times were limited, and the probability of infant death was too high.

When the baby is born and it is full day, a hundred-day banquet is arranged. Usually, the scale of the banquet is relatively large during the hundred-day banquet, and relatives and friends will come.

The emperor gave birth to the eldest son, so the reward must be indispensable, otherwise others will think that the queen is not favored, or the emperor does not like this son...

Ma He saluted and said: "Your Majesty gave birth to a dragon son. It is a joy to congratulate. It is far from being comparable to those ordinary things. When I got the news when I was at sea, I was also happy for Your Majesty, but it was too late to congratulate him face to face."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "In a few days, there will be a hundred-day banquet for the emperor in the Tiangong Palace, which can just be combined with the rewards of the New Year, and saves money..."

Ma He: "..."

Wang Yi: "..."

Only Your Majesty can "reduce and save" in this way!
Zhu Yunxie said to them: "By the way, you should rest these days and take good care of your body. In a few days, you will all attend the Hundred Days Banquet in Wenjiang, and you must not miss it!"

Yes, Zhu Wenjiang is the name Zhu Yuanzhang, the great-grandfather, gave his great-grandson. He said that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous and the territory was eternal.
Zhu Yunxi once wondered which book he copied from, or simply because he couldn't find the right words, he simply invented a set of fallacies...

But he dare not say this to Zhu Yuanzhang...

"Yes, I will obey!"

Wang Yidao: "It is also a blessing for me to be able to participate in the Hundred Days Banquet of His Majesty's son..."

"You don't need to shoot ass!"

Zhu Yunxi was in a very good mood, and said to them: "The jewels you brought back have entered my internal storage and filled my warehouse. This is a credit.
In addition to your contributions to the Western Ocean and the convincing of the Quartet, this time your official positions will be promoted again, and I will tell Qi Tai later, you just have to wait! "

"Thank you for your majesty's long grace, long live your majesty, long live, long live!" The two kowtowed and thanked.
