Zhu Yunwen sat in the imperial study to correct the folds, the harem beauties were not canonized, and the funeral and enthronement ceremony were not held, but the country still had to operate.
The Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian and Zongren Mansion jointly determined the specific time of the funeral and the enthronement ceremony, and the funeral was prepared to be held three days later.
Zhu Yunwen said to Xiao Lizi who was serving beside him: "Xiao Lizi, you instruct the celebrant to arrange the places for each concubine, it is best to let them all return to their hometowns, and remember to give enough gold and silver." ” Xiao Lizi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know if I should talk about or not. ” Zhu Yunwen said lightly: "I know what you want to ask, the funeral system is a rotten system left by the tyrannical yuan, and the emperor also ordered me not to be martyred before he died, you go, remember to transfer what I said to the person who is the celebrant of ceremonies." ” "Yes."
As soon as Xiao Lizi was about to retreat, he saw another little eunuch running in in a hurry, and Xiao Lizi scolded angrily: "Bold!
The emperor still dares to be so rude here, don't you want your head?
” The little eunuch shook his body and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's just that the situation is urgent, and the people from the Gong Wei Division asked me to report it quickly." ” Zhu Yunwen didn't mean to blame, he said: "I'm exempt, you can say it." ” The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is an old man and a woman outside the imperial city who want to come in today, and the forbidden army stopped them, but that old man actually took out the emperor's letter, the matter is very important, and the small one can only come to tell His Majesty immediately." ” The Emperor's Signal?
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely suspicious and would not usually give the signal to others, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Is it true that you have checked it?"
What does the old man look like?
” The little eunuch thought for a while and said, "The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard has already checked the signal, it's true, that old man, he looks very ordinary, but it can be seen that the girl next to him is different from ordinary people." ” An ordinary old man, a beautiful girl who is different from ordinary people?
Don't?
Zhu Yunwen began to guess in his heart.
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while and said, "Please come to the imperial study to see me, don't be rude?"
” The little eunuch was startled, he answered and left in a hurry, and Xiao Lizi also left to do the affairs of the harem.
Zhu Yunwen frowned, if he guessed correctly, it should be Liu Bowen and Xiao Jiu, but after saying goodbye that day and never seeing each other again, how could they come to the capital?
It didn't take long for Liu Bowen and Xiao Jiu to come to the imperial study under the leadership of many attendants, and the moment Zhu Yunwen saw Liu Bowen, he confirmed the doubt in his heart.
Zhu Yunwen shouted back from the guards, and he said with a smile: "Why did Mr.
Liu come to the capital?"
” Liu Bowen brushed his beard and said, "I'm old, I don't want to leave, so I'll come back, I'm afraid that the emperor won't welcome us." ” "Why, I respect Mr.
Liu very much."
Zhu Yunwen's words are true, and Liu Bowen also has the capital to make him respect.
Liu Bowen didn't sit down, he saluted Zhu Yunwen and said: "I was the prince back then, and now I am the emperor, time flies so fast." ” Zhu Yunwen smiled and didn't answer, Liu Bowen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I came today to help me for the sake of the emperor's dedication to the Ming Dynasty in the past." ” Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "Mr.
Liu, please speak, I will agree." ” Liu Bowen was silent for a while and said, "The first thing is about King Yan. ” Zhu Yunwen's expression was stunned, he didn't know why Liu Bowen suddenly mentioned Zhu Di.
Liu Bowen continued: "Your Majesty, before I came, I had already met Yao Guangxiao, the advisor of King Yan, and from what he said and what I saw, I could feel that King Yan had no intention of rebellion, so I hope that the emperor can give Zhu Di a good result." ” Zhu Yunwen said indifferently: "Do you think I am the kind of person who kills my uncle indiscriminately?"
I promised my father and the imperial grandfather that I would not deal with the princes, and I did what I said, but you also know that if you want to live a stable life, you must firmly grasp the power in your hands, and if you don't cut the domain, I will live unsteadily, and they will live unstable. ” Liu Bowen's eyes flashed and said: "Cutting, it must be cut, but we can't let the princes have too much resistance." ” "I want to hear about it."
Liu Bowen thought for a while and said: "The fiefs of each prince are in various places in the Ming Dynasty, for those who are weak, the emperor can directly abolish their army, and for the strong, the emperor can also call them to the capital." ” Zhu Yunwen chuckled and said, "You want me to let them stay in the capital forever?"
” Liu Bowen nodded and said: "The new emperor ascends the throne, they must be afraid, and few people will be unwilling to stay in the capital for a lifetime in glory and wealth." ” Zhu Yunwen asked, "Do you think King Yan will come to the capital to be a prince with peace of mind?"
” Liu Bowen said with certainty: "No, but the emperor, you have two generals, Lan Yu and Geng Bingwen, and now you can send one of them to fight with the Yan army to form a containment situation, which can not only prevent the Yan King from thinking about it, but also fight against the Northern Yuan, why not?"
And the emperor doesn't force King Yan, how can King Yan rebel?
” Zhu Yunwen nodded noncommittally and said, "What about the second thing?"
” Liu Bowen looked outside the door and said: "The second thing is my private matter, old man, I am too old to take care of Xiao Jiu all the time, and I also want to go to the mountains and forests alone, Xiao Jiu She is a Mongolian, I am afraid that she will be bullied if I leave me, so I brought her to the palace, hoping that the emperor will protect her." ” Zhu Yunwen was happy, he said: "Let her live in the harem?
” Liu Bowen said: "Yes. ” Zhu Yunwen said happily: "No problem, the harem is so big, it can still accommodate one person." ” Liu Bowen suddenly smiled, he said: "The demeanor of an alien beauty, even the emperor did not resist it, I look forward to the day when the emperor crowns her as a concubine, hey, it can be regarded as finding a home for her, and it can be regarded as an explanation to that person." ” Seeing that Liu Bowen said so firmly, Zhu Yunwen coughed twice, if he really let Xiao Jiu live in the harem, he might not be able to stop her charm.
Zhu Yunwen asked, "Is she willing to stay here?"
” Liu Bowen nodded with a smile and said, "I told her that I came here to find her husband, and she also understands that your majesty, Xiao Jiu is simple-minded, please be kind." ” ---------------------------------------- Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for attention.
Regarding Xiao Jiu, her role will be a bit heavy in the future.
