Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 167 Old Zhu is Immoral

"This is a good thing. We think Xu Da arranged it very well." Lao Zhu took the urgent message he received the day before yesterday: "Fu Youde and the others are going to Yunnan, which is very good,"

"Today's Princess Lin'an's birthday banquet, His Majesty is still so diligent, it is the blessing of the people." Li Shanchang put down his things and said: "Your Majesty, please."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Yi stood aside and said, folded Xu Da's letter to Lao Zhu and sent it elsewhere.

"Your Majesty, everyone is waiting for you." Song Lian cheerfully handed the birthday letter to Lao Zhu: "Look at it, Your Majesty."

Old Zhu said: "Let's have a simple meal today, without extravagance."

"Yes, Your Majesty." When Gao Qi raised his hand, he revealed the torn cuffs of his clothes.I had to put down my chopsticks and stuff the broken cuffs in.

Unexpectedly, it still showed up, Gao Qi smiled embarrassedly: "Everyone laughed."

"Wait." Old Zhu grabbed Gao Qi's hand and said, "Not bad, not bad."

Everyone didn't understand, His Majesty said that Gao Qi's hands are good?

Old Zhu said: "Gao Qi, we also have a piece of clothing, and the Queen mended it for us several times."

Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials said: "When the clothes are torn, they should be discarded. Your Majesty doesn't have to ask yourself that. This is too harsh."

Old Zhu said: "We own the Great Ming Dynasty and thousands of miles of land. Let alone changing a piece of clothing, it is not difficult to change clothes for the common people and hundreds of officials.

But you know, we think that dressing and eating are moral issues.

This thing is too extravagant, it is immoral.

A few days ago, we asked someone to formulate a set of rules for dressing. "

"Your Majesty, what are the rules?" Li Shanchang said with a smile.

"We have established rules for everyone, civil and military officials, and ordinary people, there should be perfect rules for dressing. Different statuses, different styles and clothes, cannot be surpassed. This is a moral issue."

Lao Zhu waved his hand, and the little eunuch immediately brought a roll, and Song Lian, who was sitting closest, took it and unfolded it:
Common people should wear square scarves. The rings of the scarves cannot be inlaid with gold, emerald, jade and other precious ornaments, and hats should not have tops. Businessmen can inlay crystals.People who don't care about farming and sang can't wear bamboo hats.Wear clothes to avoid...

Old Zhu said: "Also, we feel that if we have to abide by the ritual system of his dynasty every time we sacrifice, then the ceremony of the five crowns is too cumbersome. When offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the shrine, we only use the Tongtian crown and crimson gauze. gowns, and others in ordinary clothes."

Regardless of whether they understood or not, the officials below nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, the little eunuch next to him leaned on Lao Zhu's ear and said a few words.Lao Zhu showed displeasure, got up and left.

After half a stick of incense, Lao Zhu came to the banquet with a golden phoenix: "Who gave this golden phoenix as a gift?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"You don't say yes... we will know right away, this matter is a moral issue."

At this moment, Empress Ma stood outside the hall and coughed softly, and then Lao Zhu followed out.

……

Qianqing Palace.

"Giving a golden phoenix is ​​extravagant and immoral."

"You can bear with me, what kind of golden phoenix is ​​here, you can see clearly." Empress Ma tapped the hairpin lightly and said: "Chong Ba, take a look again!"

Lao Zhu put his hands on his hips, looked down in disbelief, and after a long pause, said: "This..."

"What extravagance is immoral, it's obviously made by my daughter-in-law." Empress Ma pulled Chang Meirong out from behind the screen and said, "This is a clay phoenix made by a girl from the Chang family, just covered with gold powder, look at you. "

"I've seen Your Majesty." Chang Meirong lowered her head a little scared.

Old Zhu's angry appearance is too frightening.

"Oh, look at us, we're confused." Lao Zhu patted the back of his head and said, "Skillful, dexterous."

Chang Meirong's face turned pale, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Seeing that Lao Zhu is a girl from the Chang family, he personally selected the princess for Biaoer, if I scare her, what will Biaoer do?

Then he laughed and said: "We were so confused, we thought it was sent by another minister." Lao Zhu said to Chang Meirong: "Biao'er is not here, so come to the palace to talk to the empress when I have time, so that she won't be bored."

Hearing this, Empress Ma looked a little better.

This Zhu Chongba, if he scares his good daughter-in-law, he will never end with him.

After Lao Zhu left, Chang Meirong was at a loss for a moment. Empress Ma took her by the hand and said, "I'll take you for a walk around the palace, recognize people, and see those weird things that Biaoer made."

"Okay." Chang Meirong blurted out, thinking that she was a little too excited just now, she nodded with a smile.

East Palace.

Although the owner is not there, there are still people in the Wenhua Palace, and there are colorful flowers inside and outside the other courtyards.

Jin'er and Yu'er are trimming the leaves of those herbs, and next to them is Zhu Biao's watering device made by himself with bamboo, which is dripping water.

On the side of the bedroom wall, there are some fitness equipment prepared by Zhu Biao, including stone locks and stone hammers.

Empress Ma picked up a pot and said, "He did it all. Look at the herbs and flowers, how well they bloom."

"Yes." Chang Meirong held up her blue skirt, squatted beside her, closed her eyes and sniffed with her nose: "It smells so good."

Jin'er and Yu'er ran over and saluted Empress Ma and Chang Meirong: "I have met the empress, Miss Chang."

"You two are doing well, not bad." Empress Ma walked over to sit on a bamboo chair.

The chair suddenly fell backwards, and Empress Ma stood up immediately in fright: "I was scared to death, this chair is broken."

Yu'er stepped forward and said, "My Majesty the Empress, Your Highness asked the craftsmen of the Academy of Science and Technology to make this. It's called a rocking chair. You can lie on it and shake it."

"Your Highness said...that lying in a rocking chair...you can grow old."

Yu'er knocked on Jin'er: "It's sitting on a rocking chair, getting old slowly, you remember wrongly."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's take the girl from the Chang family around."

"Yes. Empress Dowager."

Jin'er and Yu'er ran up to Chang Meirong with a smile, pulled her up warmly and said, "Miss Chang, I'll show you the paintings His Highness drew."

"I can also make egg custard, His Highness likes it very much." Jin'er followed with a smile.

Empress Ma looked at Zhou Qingru who was not far away and said with a smile: "Go, Gao Qi should be out by now, pay attention to some things you can't do."

Zhou Qingru blushed and nodded to Empress Ma: "Your Majesty, you are really a good person."

"Nonsense, I'm not a good person, I don't have a straight face."

Empress Ma pressed Zhu Biao's rocking chair with her hand, poked it, and it moved back, then sat down and said, "Biao'er, don't blame the queen mother, the girl from the Chang family is also your good match, in the future, you will be the one who is the best." you go."

……

Zhu Biao was eating at the moment, when he sneezed suddenly, he rubbed his nose and said, "Who is talking about Gu."

"Brother, could it be that Minmin Timur scolding you." Zhu Di said while holding his food, "I must conquer Mobei and Monan."

"When Beiyuan is flattened, we will return to the imperial court." Zhu Biao said.

"It's boring, then I can't fight anymore." Zhu Di poked the rice in the bowl.

"You are young."

"It's not small." Zhu Di grabbed his sparse beard and said, "Brother, look at my beard, has it grown?"

Zhu Biao took a closer look and found that Zhu Di really had a few sparse beards on his chin. He said, "Don't worry, fourth, that monk Shide in Fengyang will take you to his hometown to fight. There is a mountain of silver there."

"Okay. It's a deal." Zhu Di and Zhu Biao clapped their hands together as an oath.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"We are the two heroes of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di said loudly.

　Thank you for your support.
