Chapter 263 The first day of being a prisoner(1/2)
Today.
Zhu Zhanji got up early.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be lazy, but that he is forced to pull him out of the messy bed by three women who have been dressed a long time ago.
"Today I want to offer tea to the prince and the princess. You have to go to the cabinet to be on duty and move. There are too many things to do, so you can't miss it."
This is the explanation given by Sun Ruowei, who has just finished a happy ending, with a flush on his face.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji could only wear dark circles, and let the three women dress up in colorful clothes.
When he arrived in front of his father and mother, who had already gotten up at some point, Zhu Zhanji seemed to have his bones removed. After taking the three girls toast a cup of tea, he was then stuffed two buns into his arms by the kind-hearted Zhu Xiu, and then he sat in a soft chair and entered the palace.
Standing under the wall on the north side of the cabinet room, Zhu Zhanji could see Jingmo Panheng in front of Wenhua Hall at a glance.
According to the old man's will, all his belongings in the East Palace will be moved here today.
In order to fight north, the old man was able to enclose the prince of the Ming Dynasty in the East Palace.
Similarly, Zhu Zhanji was very convinced that in order to ensure that he, the new governor, could firmly implement the preparations before the Northern Expedition and not be brainwashed by the prince's thoughts, he asked him to move here with his three granddaughters who had just married into his family.
Zhu Xiu was a little worried. The one he had silently put in his arms was about strengthening his body, refreshing his mind, and not falling down the golden spear, and sweeping thousands of troops to ask for pills, thinking about when he would give it to his grandson.
"Let's go, I didn't expect that I would live a hard life of plagiarism at a young age..."
Zhu Zhanji sighed silently, looking as if there is nothing more sorrow than death in his heart.
The cabinet room was guarded by eunuchs from the palace, which was to better serve the cabinet ministers and allow them to concentrate on handling the complicated government affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
Waiting for Zhu Zhanji to take Zhu Xiu into the payroll room.
But he was a little stunned.
I saw that there was no one in the room except for the palace servants who were sweeping and wiping tables and chairs.
"Why?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but ask.
The eunuch who was in charge of the cabinet room hurriedly walked over on tiptoe: "If you go back to the grandson, there is no morning court in the palace today, and it will take half an hour for the elders to come."
Suddenly, Zhu Zhanji's head was buzzing.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who promised to be diligent in the government affairs, was loyal to the state affairs and devoted his entire work.
Why can't I even see you when I get here?
The meat buns I just took out of my arms were no longer fragrant.
After finding his seat, Zhu Zhanji threw two meat buns on the table, and he retracted into a chair, wrapped his arms around his chest, and inserted his hands into his sleeves.
He raised his legs and put them on the patellated table, closing his eyes.
The sound of sleeping sounded soon after.
...
Yingtian City, which was still bright, slowly woke up in the fragrance of porridge covered with the streets and alleys.
The child who wet the bed was cursed by the irritable mother and threw his arm into the large water tank in the yard.
The Yexiang Convoy who wanted to leave the city and the water delivery convoy who wanted to enter the city seemed to be two parallel trajectories and would never meet.
In the days when there is no morning court, officials in Beijing are always happy.
The food at home is fragrant, full and beautiful, and then I went out with satisfaction.
Before they arrived at the yamen, they were already thinking about going to the yamen today. Today, they should call on their colleagues in the yamen to go to which family on the Qinhuai River to have fun.
Emperor Yongle was strict, but also democratic.
At least I don’t have much opinion on my ministers’ romanticism.
Thousand Steps Lounge.
It is used to describe the passage between the Hongwu Gate and Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City of Yingtian City.
Enter from Chengtian Gate and then through the Meridian Gate, you can step into the palace.
Several carriages were like the past, hanging their own small flags, almost pinching one and gathering outside the Meridian Gate.
Three carriages and a group of tall horses.
Three old men with gray beards walked down the carriage.
Junma promoted the next general with the spirit of dragon horse.
Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Ding of the cabinet in Xun, just as soon as he got off the horse, clasped his fists and raised his hand: "Three old men are old."
Xu Jingchang was in a good mood.
Although he faced the emperor's anger in the palace yesterday, the fire did not burn him. When he returned home, he accepted congratulations from the Ming Wuxun Group for his becoming the Grand Princess of the Ming Dynasty and the Grand Princess of the Ming Dynasty.
If everything goes well, the Xu family will truly become a family that is together with the country in a time visible to the naked eye.
Even Zhang Fu, the number one person in the Ming army, could not compare with this.
Xu Jingchang is very conscious. The future of the Xu family is all about him, but he is even more in the young man he will meet soon.
So even as an elder, he must come here early today and make a clear supportive attitude.
If it were before today, all the governors of the Five Army Governor's Office who were rotating in the cabinet would sleep until the sun was noon before they would slowly ride their horses to the imperial city, and then walk around the cabinet room in all directions.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is now all set up outside. The governors who have not led their troops outside really have nothing to do.
The three ministers of the cabinet who were asked about, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and Yang Shiqi, silently looked up at Xu Jingchang with glorious faces.
Yang Rong is now the chief assistant, and his previous bad temper has gradually subsided and he has started to cultivate his energy.
Yang Shiqi is a rare good man, and raising his hand is considered a gift to return.
However, Ji Fu Jin Youzi glanced lightly: "Duke Ding got up early today."
Civil officials and military generals never urinate in the same pot.
Xu Jingchang didn't care about the sarcasm of the second assistant, and said happily: "The grandson is married, and I am so happy that I can't sleep as a Ming minister!"
cut!
Dog relatives!
Jin Youzi didn't say anything, and he couldn't say this, especially at this moment, he could only curse silently in his heart.
However, Yang Rong interrupted at the right time: "You have known your Majesty's decree yesterday? Today, the Grand Son is the kingdom of the country, so we should arrive at the duty room earlier so that we can wait for the Grand Son to ask questions."
When the chief minister spoke, Yang Shiqi nodded quickly: "Mr. Yang said very well, I'd better go in quickly!"
He and Yang Rong had a good personal relationship. Now there are only three people in the cabinet. Although he is not the chief minister or the secondary assistant, his relationship with Yang Rong determines that he does not have to be the secondary assistant Jin Youzi has a poor status.
Xu Jingchang remained silent on the side, watching Jin Youzi's face change slightly, then smiled slightly, threw the horse rope to the imperial guards in front of the palace gate, and walked in with steady steps through the side door at the edge of the Meridian Gate.
The three cabinets took the down payment Yang Rong first, and the remaining two followed half a step and also walked into the cabinet.
Jin Youzi glanced at the chief assistant Yang Rong who was walking in the front, and thought about it and still wanted to vent in advance: "Yesterday's order... Your Majesty is determined to be the emperor again..."
This was discussing government affairs. Yang Shiqi said calmly: "I have sent a letter to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to ask them to organize their accounts and books. Regardless of whether His Majesty fights or not, what the court looks like and what the situation is, His Majesty knows."
When Jin Youzi heard this, he was a little unhappy and frowned and said, "What does it mean to fight or not? This is the time for the imperial army to march north? The court has wars in the south and east, and the grandson has just gotten married. The court has been in a row and has no chance to take a breath. At this time, if you want to march north, the entire court will be dragged down!"
He opposed the emperor's imperial expedition.
Yang Shiqi hummed twice, but after all, he felt that the assistant was right, so he could only hum in the end.
However, Yang Rong, the chief assistant who was walking in the front, stopped and looked back at the two of them: "Is there any news about Zheng Zhong, the East China Sea Fleet Supervisor?"
Nowadays, all matters of local garrisons and border troops are handled by the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and it is not almost a matter of removing the civil and military system and recruiting soldiers according to the miscellaneous matters.
This made the court, or the civil service system headed by the cabinet, always know very slowly about the Ming military.
Yang Shiqi curled his lips: "Fang Bin of the Ministry of War did not ask about the Chou Yin and Mao, but Xia Yuanji's side. He heard that Zheng Zhong had already sent a reply and asked the Ministry of Revenue to arrange the military soldiers of the Guancang to wait at Jiangkou Wharf."
Fang Bin is the Minister of War.
Xia Yuanji is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.
Yang Shiqi's words were, first, to remind the Ministry of War that it would not be used now, and second, to say that the Ministry of Revenue would soon have a batch of silver to be recorded.
Yang Rong grasped the situation and nodded silently and stopped talking.
The few people walked to the door of the cabinet room soon.
As soon as they entered the yard, Yang Rong and the other two saw Xu Jingchang who was rushing over first, and were standing at the door of the office chatting with someone.
As they got closer, the three old men saw clearly that the person who was chatting with Xu Jingchang was Zhu Xiu, the personal guard next to Taisun.
The three of them looked at each other silently.
Finally, Yang Rong walked closer and asked: "Where is the grandson?"
He was a little worried that the grandson, who had just married yesterday, was when he was young and was prone to being addicted to women. He was afraid that he would still sleep soundly in the Eastern Palace at this time and forgot that he was already the governor of the Ming Dynasty and was responsible for handling the affairs of the government.
Zhu Xiu was young and his eyes turned, "The grandson is already waiting for you in the duty room."
After saying that, he deliberately looked up at the sky.
Although not yet bright.
