Chapter 176: Supervisor of Literacy
After lunch in the palace, the two princes and their princesses surrendered. Zhu Di went to the east warmhouse of the Ganqing Palace to rest. He wanted to take a nap for a while, but then he suddenly remembered something that he had nothing to do, so he asked someone to come and find several eunuchs.
Zhu Di just took control of the huge Ming Dynasty and had endless things to do every day. He could only hide all his emotions in his heart and do it one by one according to the thoughts.
Soon, the eight eunuchs who called their names came to Donghunting Pavilion.
Zhu Di took a look and everyone was here.
They are all eunuchs, including Zheng He (formerly known as Ma He), Baoer (formerly known as Li Qian); Yunxiang (formerly known as Mengge), Tian Jiahe (formerly known as Hasai Tiemu); Wang An (formerly known as Buhuadu), Meng Ji (formerly known as Tianer), Gouer, who was originally named Wang Yan, and Hou Xian.
It turned out that there were more than eight eunuchs in the Yan Palace. Now Zhu Di values these eight the most because they all fought hard in the "Jingnan Battle". Like that dog, he led the way every time he attacked the city and was not afraid of death at all.
At this time, Zhu Di said, "According to the original court system, the eunuchs in the palace were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. I think it is inconvenient to let the outer court manage internal officials. You can build a yamen called the Silijian, and in the future I will help me manage the eunuchs in the palace."
Everyone bowed and said, "I will obey the order."
Zhu Di pointed at Zheng He again and said, "You are the eunuch of the Silijian, and Hou Xian is the young supervisor. You can think about it. All eight people will go to the Silijian to be an official. In the future, don't let the Ministry of Personnel interfere in the eunuchs in the harem."
Zheng He and Hou Xian knelt down and said, "I am waiting for the emperor to thank him for his kindness!"
Zhu Di thought for a while and asked again: "Zheng He, Hou Xian, you are all by your side today for lunch, tell me who is better than Gao Chi or Gao Xu."
"This..." Zheng He and Hou Xian looked at each other.
Zheng He said: "The two princes are the princes of the emperor, so I look good."
Hou Xian also hurriedly echoed: "Eunuch Zheng is saying."
"This morning, an official impeached Gao Xu to wear the prince's clothes beyond the rules. I guess the official's meaning was to urge me to enfeoff all the siblings." Zhu Di said, "There are no outsiders here. Who do you think is better to be the prince?"
Zheng He was startled and kowtowed quickly, and the other eunuchs hurriedly lowered their bodies. Zheng He said, "At that time, I was also in Fengtianmen and impeached the prince of Gaoyang County. He was the attendant of the Hanlin Academy. However, I didn't expect Xie Jin to have such a meaning. The emperor was as strong as the emperor, and I didn't expect those things. I didn't think about it, so I didn't know how to answer, and asked the emperor to sue him."
Hou Xian was even more direct and said, "I am just a servant who serves the emperor and dare not talk about such a big deal."
"Forget it!" Zhu Di waved.
"I'll thank you for your kindness and give up."
...Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei have returned to the palace. She asked Wang Gui to move all the gifts given by the emperor and the empress to the warehouse and then register and record them.
There was actually a living thing in the gift, so I couldn't move it to the warehouse, otherwise I would starve to death in a few days. It was a colorful parrot. The parrot didn't even scream and was jumping around in the cage, looking at the people outside the cage.
"My mother rewarded me." Guo Wei said softly.
So Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to bring the parrot to Guo Wei's new house and put it in the hall outside the bedroom.
Zhu Gaoxu walked into the new house, stretched out his finger to tease the parrot, and saw Guo Wei's eyes red again, and asked, "Wild has cried? Why did the queen give you a parrot?"
Guo Wei glanced at the palace maid next to her. The two palace maids were also given by the queen. They were very eye-catching and went out immediately.
Guo Wei whispered: "The princess knows that I know Lian Ying's daughter, but she says how Lian was insulted by the soldiers, how she died and was eaten by evil dogs. When I heard this, I felt that Lian was so pitiful and miserable that I couldn't help crying.
At this time, my mother entered Kunning Palace. When I saw my aunt wink at me, I guessed what my aunt meant. My mother would be unhappy when she heard about this, so she quickly changed her words and said that the parrot at home was sad. So my mother only admired a parrot and said it was a Western Region parrot sent by a general named Song Sheng."
"The princess is a scheming girl! She must have done it on purpose. Lian Ying wanted to plot to assassinate her father, and the whole family was in trouble. Even the girl was implicated, so miserable. This was the punishment of the father's order. The mother knew everything." Zhu Gaoxu said a little angrily, "If Weier said in front of the mother, how miserable the girl in the Lian family was, how could you sympathize with her, then would it be that the father had done something wrong? Can the mother be happy?"
Guo Wei stared at Zhu Gaoxu with her bright big eyes, and nodded with a pale face.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "This scheming girl won't give me face! I've just gotten married. When my wife first met her, she digs a hole for you. It's really too much. Be careful of her in the future, it's best to meet her less and talk to her. Weier is probably not her opponent."
Guo Wei looked timid and said, "I didn't expect the palace to be so terrible. I didn't offend her. She was still my sister-in-law. She actually wanted to harm me! It's all my fault that I was too stupid and could not do anything, which made the prince implicated."
"No, Weier is already very smart. Otherwise, she will definitely get into the trap! A 14-year-old girl can make Zhang like a scheming woman, Weier is very good." Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.
Guo Wei said: "The prince is tolerant to me, thank you. I really didn't expect that there were so many things in it. Fortunately, a little aunt reminded me. I think my sister-in-law is bad, and my sister-in-law is good."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Weier doesn't need to thank me, you and I are one. My aunt is good to you, just remember it, and you must be kind to her."
"Well, I will remember my aunt." Guo Wei said softly.
Zhu Gaoxu took two steps back and forth and said, "Zhang cannot be said to be bad, but he is very sensible. She is not bullying you for no reason, just because her husband and I are competing for the position of prince.
I didn't want to fight, and I couldn't fight anyway. But if someone in the court supports me as the prince, he will naturally have conflicts with the prince's house. This conflict cannot be resolved. It's not just a few good words and get along well. Weier doesn't have to blame herself."
"So terrible..." Guo Wei said in a trembling voice.
On the first day she entered the door, she could see that she was very happy, but on the third day, there was less smile on her face. Zhu Gaoxu saw it and was powerless.
He couldn't make the people close to him happy all the time, but wanted them to be safe... But if this continues, Zhu Gaoxu's whole family will die! Not to mention people like Guo Wei, even Zhu Gaoxu's future children, people from the Zhu family, no matter how big or small, will die!
The feeling of the two heavens of ice and fire surged into Zhu Gaoxu's heart again. While he was very concerned about the people he was close to, he was full of hostility and thought to himself: If I want my whole family to die, I will not let you have a good life!
Zhu Gaoxu walked faster and faster, and said in a deep voice: "It's impolite to come but not go. I've said it very clearly that I won't argue with you. Since you do this first, I'm too rude to not respond!"
Seeing Guo Wei's face was worried, he quickly relaxed and said gently: "Don't be afraid of Weier, I'll protect you."
"Prince..." Guo Wei took the initiative to grab Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and grabbed it very hard.
Guo Wei looked restless and said worriedly: "The Princess is so terrible. What should my sister do? My father and mother agreed to the queen that she would marry her sister to the Prince as the second concubine. After her sister passed by, can she be the Princess's opponent?"
Zhu Gaoxu was speechless. Seeing Guo Wei like this, he must have rarely seen conspiracy. He guessed that her sister would not be much better. He said helplessly: "There is no way, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have already promised her mother, can she regret it? The mother is the queen! Besides, I have to guess that letting you sisters marry into the prince's mansion and the Gaoyang Prince's Mansion respectively is not the mother's intention, but the father's imperial edict!"
"Why?" Guo Wei asked immediately.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The Guo family is the Marquis of Wuding. Even if the old Marquis dies, there are still more than a dozen sons in the court. The relationship between the court is mixed, and the father is also interested in winning over the Marquis of Wuding.
Even if the Guo family is not as thin as before, it is a lean camel than a horse. This is a big force. The father doesn’t want to let any of our brothers have an extra force because of marriage. If the Guo family and both sides are relatives, there is a way out, and the position should be unrelated to one of them."
Guo Wei looked powerless: "So that's the case. My sister and I both thought it too simple..."
Zhu Gaoxu advised kindly: "One of your sisters must marry the prince's house. If it weren't for your sister, then you would definitely go. Weier felt sorry for your sister, but she should be glad that you were not going by yourself."
"I would rather go by myself..." Guo Wei was angry and suddenly came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "I don't think it's not that I feel it's not good to marry my husband, but I want to suffer that. I'm already ready for this."
"Ah?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled. Looking at Guo Wei's expression, it seemed that she was not disguising her.
Guo Wei looked up at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "The prince doesn't know, my sister definitely doesn't like the prince. Today I thought about it when I saw the prince. I was so... a little fat."
"In the royal family, there are many problems, but fat is not the problem." Zhu Gaoxu said quietly, "If you want to talk about my eldest brother, he is not bad, he values family affection. As the second concubine of the prince, the biggest problem is the prince's concubine Zhang!"
Guo Wei sighed, "Sister, like me, thinks very simple. She doesn't like people like the prince, nor does she like the majestic martial artists who lead troops to fight like the prince. Her sister looks down on the martial arts husband. She only likes scholars, tall, thin, and gentle."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Since that's the case, even if Weier sacrifices herself, your sister will not be satisfied, so you will be in vain. There is no way, how can the world be easily accomplished? Who said you are the women of the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Scheming woman! Scheming woman! Scheming woman..."
