I'm really not doing business

Chapter 257: Close the door when you leave

There are many people waiting to see Zhu Yijun's joke, waiting to see this 15-year-old kid, behaving badly, leading Ming all the way down, completely igniting the conflict, and finally getting out of hand.

It's like a 15-year-old kid who played too many games and jumped off a high-rise building. This 15-year-old kid didn't know that he would die. He thought he could fly. I know I won't.

Some people with ulterior motives are waiting for that moment.

However, from the handling of Zhang Juzheng's departure from the court, we can see that this 15-year-old child does not lack experience in handling problems. He at least knows how to tie a safety rope around his waist before jumping. This safety rope, It is Zhang Juzheng, the ancestor of Xishan.

Zhang Juzheng's emergence from the mountain means that the little emperor's decrees are problematic and harmful to the saint. But this safety rope is so important. The supreme and seemingly omnipotent emperor has a new life because of this safety rope. Another chance.

The supreme and omnipotent young emperor can easily misunderstand that he is omnipotent, even the kind of omnipotent that can defeat death head-on, and then cognitively develops a sense of "I am different from others" towards all things. That is to say, I have a different sense of detachment from ordinary people. This sense of detachment is exactly the same harm as talking about one's heart with one's hands.

This sense of detachment is not only found in Zhu Yijun, but also in the sons of powerful and right children who are born noble and have everything.

When Zhang Juzheng talked about feasts, he mainly talked about being a human being.

These people with ulterior motives are also waiting for that day. Because Zhang Juzheng returned to the court before Ding You could complete the task, the emperor and the Taifu would definitely have a conflict over power that would affect the Ming Dynasty.

Fishing when the water is muddy has always been like this.

Zhu Yijun ended this court meeting. He asked Wang Xijue to commit suicide out of fear of crime and implemented the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Zhang Juzheng. Both of these things were a bit like jumping off a building.

The silence of the courtiers is not necessarily a sign of disloyalty to the emperor. Their silence, to a certain extent, is a reverence for some deep-rooted forces in this world.

In terms of theory and system design, the Ming Emperor was supreme. The reality is that some deep-rooted forces are extremely terrifying, forces that are more stable than imperial power.

After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun left behind Guo Chaobin, Minister of Industry, and met with the boatmen and crew members who had returned from the ocean. These boatmen and crew members were extremely frightened, but they were not so frightened. The sacred and solemn palace greeted them. Opened the door.

The project on the central axis of the palace supervised by Wang Chonggu has entered the final decoration stage, so the scars of the original fire can no longer be seen from the outside, but the palace wall that serves as a barrier is still there. It will be completely demolished after the decoration is completely completed. ,Restored to their original.

Several boat masters and crew members walked into the Wenhua Hall and met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, a 15-year-old boy with a powerful personality.

Zhu Yijun asked a lot of questions. The boatmen were very nervous, but they still answered the questions fluently.

The emperor is not as scary as those huge waves. After witnessing the power of nature and experiencing the horror between life and death, these boat masters and crew naturally have less respect for authority.

This is also the core logic of the promotion of civility and martial arts in the past dynasties, where chivalrous men use force to break the ban.

In an imperial country, soldiers who are accustomed to fighting on the battlefield will always resort to force to resolve some authority, or injustice, more intuitively, it is a grievance, just like the emperor's implementation of Zhang Juzheng's Annotation of the Four Books and Five Classics. When engraving the book, Qi Jiguang suddenly said that it might be the same.

The emperor had no motive to promote military power, because with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the losses in those border areas, even the losses in the capital, would not affect the emperor's extravagance, but the promotion of military power would affect the emperor's throne.

The boat masters answered the emperor's questions, especially some customs at sea.

The boat master and crew introduced the Kumi tribe of Ryukyu. The Kumi tribe is a group of Ming people on Ryukyu Island. They are also called the 36 Fujian people. During the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered to immigrate to Ryukyu. They are an important force in Ryukyu. political power.

They introduced the vigorous development of the Manila port. In one year, there were many more streets on the coast, and all the Southeast Asian countries came to Manila for business. All kinds of rare treasures of the Southeast Asia can be seen in Manila, even Silverware from Thailand and the West will also appear, because merchant ships from Hongmaofan come from the east.

They introduced the dead silence in the windless zone of the equator, the deep-seated loneliness and calmness that drives people crazy. People on the ship will be driven crazy in that environment, and then go crazy and dive into the sea. No trace.

When there are huge waves, I hate the wind and waves; when it is calm for a long time, I miss the wind and waves.

It also introduces the Sun City in Mexico. There are Ming people in Sun City, mostly from Fujian and Guangzhou. Of course, there are also red-haired people who have a brutal rule in the local area, because there is a death pit next to the mining factory. Zhou Shi The largest death pit I have ever seen can bury at least 1 people.

It also introduces the strange New World indigenous people. Some of the indigenous people have very big feet. They like to suck the water from a plant called Ayahuasca. After sucking it, people seem to have fallen into an infinite illusion, with their teeth and claws dancing, and they look like... Madness, a brief pleasure in extreme pain.

It also introduces the violent Atlantic Ocean, the free city that does not abide by any rules, and the overly open atmosphere of the West.

Zhu Yijun is very interested in their journey. As witnesses of the ocean voyage, they will communicate and exchange in the capital and with the writers of major poetry societies and newspapers, and finally record the journey in the form of pictures and texts.

The navigators presented the Ocean Needle Map, which is a symbolic representation of navigation, the map where the needle points, and the needle map is at some key positions, and the Zhoutian Map, which is the celestial phenomenon depicted in a certain place to determine one's own position. location, which is extremely valuable navigation information.

The needle chart is the most important chart for navigation today.

Guo Chaobin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, mainly asked about shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty, especially the pain points that continued to change and may even cause shipwrecks. For example, in some vulnerable areas, the ship plates were reinforced with steel wrapped with wood, such as masts that were exposed to wind, The density of canvas and so on, Guo Chaobin asked in detail.

Guo Chaobin, like previous ministers of the Ministry of Industry, actually rarely spoke during court discussions, but when it came to projects, Guo Chaobin asked really detailed questions. He was a technical bureaucrat, a follow-up official who did practical things.

With third-class merit, Zhu Yijun awarded merit plaques and corresponding rewards to all the navigators and crew members on this voyage. Songjiang Prefecture, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War all rewarded them. At the same time, he ordered Songjiang Prefecture to erect an ocean monument and personally After writing the inscriptions, all the captains and crew members who died on this ocean voyage will have their names and deeds engraved on them. Many of their bones were buried in the sea, but their names will be remembered by the Ming Dynasty forever.

"After engraving the needle pattern, send it to the third window engineering school in the side hall." Zhu Yijun solemnly said to Feng Bao: "My boss will supervise it carefully. This is a precious gift brought by the boat masters, so be sure to pay attention."

Feng Bao handed over the chart and said very solemnly: "I will hand it over to Xu Jue to keep an eye on in person."

Zhu Yijun nodded in agreement. He actually didn't care whether Antonio paid back the money, nor did he care about the little silver he lent to Antonio. There were more than 500 million taels of silver and more than 100 million silver coins lying in the money. He was not short of money.

But the Ming Dynasty lacked this nautical chart, especially the nautical charts produced by the Ming Dynasty itself.

Whether the chart presented by Antonio is true or false, you just need to compare it carefully. Even Antonio himself does not know that there is an error.

"Da Sikong, follow me later to Wang Xijue's mansion in the capital." Zhu Yijun stood up and did not let Guo Chaobin leave. Today he plans to take Zhu Yili and his uncle Zhu Zaiyu to Wang Xijue's mansion to see the top luxury goods of the Ming Dynasty. The regulations on housing also allowed them to see the extreme luxury of the luxurious homes of the Ming Dynasty.

After Guo Chaobin understood the emperor's intention, he bowed his head and said: "I obey the decree."

Guo Chaobin took the lead. His Majesty's trip is never simple and requires a lot of preparation.

His Majesty has to change into regular clothes, and the royal guards have to clear the streets in advance to eliminate risks. This is already a standard that Zhu Yijun, with Ma Ziqiang, Wan Shi and the two great uncles, has reduced and reduced the etiquette. There is no pilot car, no white. There are no music and dance classes at Taichang Temple, no arrangements for subjects to kowtow and shout three cheers, and no roll calls that are so cumbersome as to be boring.

Ma Ziqiang and Wan Shihe were helpless about this reduction in etiquette and could only let it go. On the premise of ensuring His Majesty's safety, they made in-depth changes in etiquette.

Guo Chaobin will use this time to restore all the luxuries of Wang Xijue's mansion. After all, after arresting Wang Xijue, the house has become an official residence. The house is basically useless, cannot be sold, and rewards cannot be given out.

This kind of house cannot be sold because a high-ranking official has been dismissed. In the current era of emphasis on Feng Shui, it will always be considered that the mansion is a nuisance to the owner. This is also true to a certain extent, because the investigation and prosecution of Wang Xijue started from this mansion, even if it is a reward , whoever receives this reward and does not commit suicide that night has no reverence.

Therefore, this kind of mansion will slowly collapse over time, and eventually the land will be sold. After a few decades, when people slowly forget these things, the land that carries the story will build a house again. .

When Zhu Yijun brought his uncle and younger brother to Wang Xijue's ten-acre luxurious house, he realized that it was really very close to the Imperial College.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Blessings."

Zhu Yijun's last big driver, Yuren, just appeared with the sound of mountains and seas drinking. The whole street was empty and full of tyrants. These tyrants were led by Zhao Mengyou himself and were responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety. He was accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Industry and so on. A large number of people also knelt down.

Zhu Yijun looked at the end of the street and was stunned. He pointed at the end of the street and said, "Why is there a stage there?"

"I heard that the owner of this mansion was arrested, so people will naturally come to perform." Guo Chaobin answered this question. He thought for a moment and said more accurately: "Actually, the theater troupes and people who gathered here didn't know that they lived here. I don’t know who it is, but I heard that the people in this mansion were unlucky, so they all came over to watch the fun."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty hate corrupt officials and these traitors who eat people without spitting out their bones. But let the people say who it is and which person they are. They don't know because they have no way to know, so , I have so much hatred that I don’t know who to hate, and I don’t know who caused the specific suffering, so I can only hate the court.”

"Whenever you encounter such a high-ranking official being dismissed, no matter whether he is good or bad, you will have to play and sing."

Zhu Yijun looked at Guo Chaobin in surprise. Guo Chaobin usually didn't talk much, but today he was asked to travel with him. What he said was very specific. The cause behind a phenomenon was analyzed deeply, and he had a profound knowledge of contradictions.

There is a contradiction here. The common people hate, but they cannot hate a specific person, so they can only hate the court. It was the court that gave them the power of life and death to take and take away, and let them be the great masters of Qingtian, but they did He became the great master of Zhuotian.

"This custom is very good." Zhu Yijun looked at the stage at the end of the street and said, "Just sing."

"Li'er, come here." Zhu Yijun stood in front of the open door, looked at the golden rivets on the dark purple door in front of him, and said, "Do you know? Wang Xijue has a reputation for integrity. He is an honest official. When you look at this gate, do you think it is honest?"

Zhu Yirui looked at the purple and magnificent door, thought for a while and answered the question: "I don't know, but I only know that I don't wear purple robes or green robes because the dye of purple robes is expensive. For this reason, my mother, I also blamed the Taifu."

The stone lion in front of the gate is majestic and majestic. The threshold is so high that Zhu Yichun has to lift his legs with all his strength. There are side doors on both sides of the gate. The gate is not open on weekdays, and those who can walk through the main gate are big shots.

There is no doubt that Zhu Yijun is a big shot. He walked forward, and the door opened slowly under the pull of the concierge without making any sound.Zhu Yijun stood in front of the threshold and couldn't help but think of going to Zhang Juzheng's house to have dinner. Zhang Juzheng demolished the threshold completely twice. This was Xu Da's etiquette when Zhu Yuanzhang went to General Xu Da's house to have dinner. The emperor walks as if he were walking on flat ground.

Obviously, Guo Chaobin didn't know this etiquette, so he didn't open the door. Feng Bao immediately became anxious.

"Your Majesty, slow down." Feng Bao quickly called a few eunuchs, removed the threshold of the door, and invited Your Majesty to come in.

Feng Bao winked at Guo Chaobin and asked him to quickly tear down all the thresholds in the house. Guo Chaobin was frightened. He had never done anything like picking up a driver. How did he know there was such a rule?I was sweating so much.

Zhu Yijun said gently: "Da Sikong, I am not looking at the threshold, but at the hinges of the door. Look at such a heavy and thick door, but there is no sound at all. The hinges are full of paint. Shark oil."

Shark oil is the brain oil of whales. It flows out from a hole in the whale's forehead. A giant whale can only get [-] kilograms of shark oil. Zhu Yijun had to rely on the tribute of Guo Zhengmao to obtain this top-quality lubricating oil. But Wang Xijue used this thing on the hinges of the door.

Zhu Yijun gave Guo Chaobin a step up. Those who don't know are not guilty. This is not a courtesy that must be learned. Besides, Lao Guo is a kind and diligent person. Don't scare people with Feng Bao's wink.

Guo Chaobin breathed a sigh of relief. Your Majesty's reputation is excellent. Since you gave me the steps, it shows that you really don't care. Your Majesty has never been a difficult person to understand, and he has never liked the emperor's mentality. The emperor's mentality is what the emperor wants. What a proof of freedom.

Zhu Yijun is the emperor of the world and follows the rules of the world.

The rivets on the door are made of gold-plated copper ingots, and there is no difference in the size of each one. Zhu Yijun liked this door very much, and said to Guo Chaobin: "I like this door very much. When I leave, take it down and I will take it back." In the palace, it is installed on the gate of Baoqisi."

Breaking down doors is Yin Zhengmao's traditional skill, and now His Majesty has stolen it.

As soon as Zhu Yijun stepped into the door, the very quiet mansion began to become lively. The servants began to get busy. The whole house seemed to be activated. Everyone was active and running around, holding various kinds of things in their hands. With such objects in hand, the two servants walked five feet away from the emperor, each holding a lamp.

"Do you want to light up the lights in broad daylight?" Zhu Yijun really didn't know anything about extravagance. He asked Guo Chaobin. Guo Chaobin was also a little confused. After asking the housekeeper, he learned why these two people were needed.

During the day, they lead the way, and at night, they light up the lanterns for lighting. Just like the emperor asked the royal guards to clear the streets when traveling, the old man also needs someone to guide the way when he returns home. As for holding the two lanterns during the day, it is for a sense of ceremony.

Zhu Yijun understood clearly and walked into the door. As soon as he entered the door, there was a huge screen wall. On the screen wall were written four words, Tranquility and Zhiyuan. The emperor was slightly disappointed. He thought Wang Xijue would write God rewards those who work hard. The screen wall came from Hainan. The mahogany and red pear carvings are embellished and wrapped around the screen wall stone, making it look particularly dignified.

"The scenery is clear and harmonious, and we are about to pass through the bamboo forest. It is raining at night when it is suddenly cold, and the frogs are singing loudly. We sit together and forget the guests and hosts, and the poems reflect the past and the present. We call the children frequently to cut the candles, and we don't realize that they are getting deeper." Zhu Yijun walked out of the screen wall area, The first thing you see is a bamboo forest. The wind blows the bamboo leaves and makes a rustling sound. There are no snakes, rats, mosquitoes or flies, because they have been cleaned up by the servants.

"Good poem!" Feng Bao immediately flattered him. This was all instinctive. The emperor usually never recited poems to express his feelings. After finally reading a few lines, he naturally wanted to praise him.

"This is a poem sent by a poet to this house, not written by me." Zhu Yijun walked in the bamboo forest. On the left was the bamboo forest and on the right was the stone path spliced ​​with bluestones. The railings carved with white marble were spotless, and the scenery was clean and peaceful.

"That's why His Majesty sang it so well!" Feng Bao didn't take it seriously at all. He's worn everything but flattery. No matter who wrote this poem, from today on, this poem is written by His Majesty.

Even Zhang Juzheng did not dare to compete with His Majesty for the copyright!

Zhu Yijun strolled on the bluestone road, passing lakes and frogs, bamboo forests and cicadas, and came to the first waterside pavilion. A nine-fold bridge connected the waterside pavilion, and the other side of the nine-fold bridge was connected to Xiu Xuetang.

Zhu Yijun stood in the waterside pavilion, paused for a moment, and continued to move forward. Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou after Xiu Xuetang. When he was in Huangzhou, he lived in Linquan Pavilion. There is an allusion to building a snow hall on the east slope, and the money to build a snow hall on the east slope. It was the money given by his younger brother when Su Shi was demoted.

Su Shi is a person who will never wrong himself, and Su Zhe gave all the money he saved to his brother in order to prevent his brother from being wronged.

"Is this place good?" Zhu Yijun walked into Xiuxue Hall and asked Zhu Yiliu his impression of this place.

The emperor, who knew nothing about extravagance, didn't know how expensive these furniture were, nor how much the gold and stone objects on the museum shelves were worth, but he knew they were expensive at first glance and that was it.

He knew that kind of paper, Goryeo tribute paper, which was a tribute from North Korea. It was high-quality paper that Zhu Yijun rarely used. It was piled up next to the desk in the side hall, and part of it was covered with brocade.

"Luxury." Zhu Yili said with great certainty. As a prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yili should not be so ignorant. He has no treasures in his pocket, so why should he be stunned for the furnishings of a courtier's house?

However, Zhu Yiliu has never seen many of the things on the ancient shelf.

Zhang Juzheng was to blame for this. Zhang Juzheng advised the emperor to be frugal from time to time. The emperor listened to his advice, and Empress Dowager Li did not want to be extravagant. The guys in the palace were mainly practical, so Wang Xijue lived a more luxurious life than the emperor.

"But this is not a home." Zhu Yizheng looked at it for a long time, but still shook his head and let him live. He would rather live in his brother's Baoqisi Guanghan Hall than come here, because it doesn't feel like a home.

Zhu Yiliu had seen Zhu Yijun's furnishings in Guanghan Hall. The books on the bookshelf were open, the agricultural books on the desk were full of annotations, and yesterday's unfinished manuscript was pressed under the paperweight. There were traces of activity everywhere. That was the moment. It's a home, a private residence. This place is more like a facade for others to see.

Zhu Yixuan is really smart. Buying a luxurious home is actually to buy a face. This is not a home, but a face, so the furnishings are too formal.

"Wang Xijue originally planned to use this place as the guild hall of the Southern Party, where students from the [-]th Prefecture of Nanya will stay when they come to Beijing to take the exam. Naturally, they have to have face." Guo Chaobin explained why this place is so organized, and everything there is life has traces of life. , the master has some habits, and the slaves must adapt to them. There is no trace of life here at all.

As long as the powerful and powerful man mentioned at the poetry meeting that he had such a house with mountains, rivers, courtyards and pavilions in the inner city, he would naturally fall to his knees.

Zhu Yijun walked to the piano building, which was called Dahuan Pavilion. It was Wang Xijue's usual music room. It was filled with piano scores. Zhu Zaiyu was amazed when he saw several famous pianos. This was Zhu Zaiyu's domain. Zhu Zaiyu introduced the origins of these pianos one by one.

"The emperor will take whatever he likes with him when he leaves. If he likes them all, he will take them all with him." Zhu Yijun was not interested in music theory. In his opinion, these pianos were worthless, but to Zhu Zaiyu, they were worth thousands of gold.

"Your Majesty, all my musical instruments are made by myself." Zhu Zaiyu did not want to be contaminated by these things.

"Ah, uncle, there is no need to be polite." Zhu Yijun felt that Zhu Zaiyu was being polite. He felt that he had brought so many beauties home recently, and the holy family was too kind.

"I don't like it." Zhu Zaiyu bluntly explained why he didn't want it.

He was born crazy. Although he couldn't be crazy when facing the emperor. The shock given to him by the emperor and Yuan Fu was too great and he had no right to be arrogant. However, facing Wang Xijue's collection, Zhu Zaiyu was not interested. This is his arrogance.

Zhu Zaiyu's arrogance lies in the fact that the best piano is the one he made with his own hands!
He doesn't use the guqin to give himself emotional value. Instead, he can give the guqin emotional value. This is Zhu Zaiyu's madness.

This girl Wang Yaozhuo has to play for His Majesty every five days. Unfortunately, after playing for several years, she still hasn't developed her artistic skills.

"I still admire your uncle's attainments in music theory. It's a pity that I can't understand five tones." Zhu Yijun understood Zhu Zaiyu's arrogance and walked out of Wang Xijue's private concert hall. In addition to the piano, there are also other musical instruments here, which can be called musical instruments. museum.

Zhu Yijun stood in front of the Wenqing Pavilion and looked at the five-story pavilion. This was Wang Xijue's study, which was a bit more luxurious than Zhang Juzheng's Wenchang Pavilion. It was where Wang Xijue collected his books.

Zhu Yijun walked in. This was the place that shocked him the most. It was a huge private library that contained a complete collection of various ancient books and even many unique copies.

"This is this?" Zhu Yijun saw a book on the bookshelf. After walking over, he suddenly turned his head, stretched out his hand slightly absentmindedly, carefully took out the book, put it on the desk, and gently I opened the somewhat off-line book and flipped through a few pages as if possessed.

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Hong reminded His Majesty worriedly, this thing must not be some kind of evil magic technique, otherwise His Majesty, who has always been as motionless as a mountain and can sleep soundly in the fire of the palace, how could he lose his composure like this.

"Zu Chongzhi's "Zhu Shu"!" Zhu Yijun pointed at the book and said eagerly to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Banban, this is the lost "Zhu Shu"!"

"Ah? Ah! Ah!" Zhang Hong was stunned. He looked at the words above, then stared at His Majesty and said, "It's really a magic trick! Oh my god! This, this, this, God bless the Ming Dynasty." ah!"

Zhu Yijun carefully closed the book and asked Feng Bao to bring the rosewood box and carefully put it in as if holding a treasure. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly: "This Wang Xijue knows that the court is bypassing him. He has this If I offer this book, can I still let him hang himself?"

"Oh, really! No respect! No respect!"

Zhu Yijun is now happy and angry at the same time. He is happy that he has found the lost original copy. He is angry because there are many people like Wang Xijue. The court needs these original copies. These people know that the emperor needs them and they hide them like this. Give.

Mao Kun gave the old case of Zheng He's voyages to the imperial court, and the imperial court immediately gave Mao Kun the reputation of the home of poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music and hairpins, and even gave him 5 taels of silver to expand Lumen Academy.

Wang Xijue watched the emperor being anxious for several years, just hiding it.

"Your Majesty, is there a possibility that Wang Xijue doesn't know what books are hidden in his library? Are they just for collection?" Guo Chaobin raised a possibility. The books in the library are not for reading, but mainly for use. Come to collect and prove that you are a manifestation of the powerful family.

"It's also possible." Zhu Yijun agreed with Guo Chaobin's statement that it was possible.

This Wang family compound is extremely extravagant. There are as many as eighteen places that can be called scenic spots. Zhu Yijun has acquired the art of decorating and has no interest in these extravagant things.

"Da Sikong, how much money will it cost to build this house?" Zhu Yijun asked. In the north, in the capital, and in the inner city, there are luxurious houses with mountains and rivers. The land is expensive and the construction cost is even more expensive.

"At least one hundred thousand taels." Guo Chaobin gave a conservative estimate, one mu would cost more than 1 taels of silver, and the things used were all expensive.

"It's enough for Cifu to open another woolen factory!" Zhu Yijun flicked his sleeves and said angrily.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! !
