Chapter 109: The Beginning of Man
In December of the second year of Jianwen, Shandong Left Administration Commissioner Sheng Ren went to Beijing to report on the canal matters, and the family of King Zhu Jing of the King of Qi was also introduced to Beijing with him.
The latter entered Beijing not because of the canal. As the end of the year approached, Shandong was close to Nanjing, so Zhu Jing went to pay New Year's greetings to Zhu Yunwen.
Taizu decided to set the emperor's teachings on the ancestral teachings of the vassal kings, and no matter how big the matter was, this family law gradually lost its binding force in the past two years. The main reason was that Zhu Yunwen had cut off the six vassal kings in the past two years, and the other vassal kings could also see Zhu Yunwen's original intentions. Some Taiping vassal kings who were close to Nanjing began to consciously lean towards Zhu Yunwen.
Before the vassal state is reduced, we should first express our loyalty to the emperor. We should sell it in front of the emperor for no reason. We can also leave a good job for us during the liquidation in the future.
No one thought of resisting. The King of Yan went to Nanjing to enjoy his fortune. Who has the ability to fight against Zhu Yunwen?
Sometimes these little brothers envied Zhu Di from the bottom of their hearts, and led the clan's official position as the Chief of Staff and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace. They were all three ranks of the clan, the army, and the state affairs of the country. They all reached the top. As a minister, they had to do this for thousands of years.
"See my Emperor's Holy Bow An."
Zhu Jing only rested in the Qi Palace in Nanjing for one night, and ran to the palace to meet and greet him early the next morning.
"Uncle Qi is here, sit down."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Jing and lowered his head.
"Uncle Qi sat for a while, I have finished these memorials."
Shuangxi presented tea to Zhu Jing, and excited Zhu Jing quickly raised his butt to take it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, please do not worry. Your Majesty is the most important thing in the country."
No hurry, then just wait.
Zhu Yunwen has no time to get up with this batch. As the end of the year approaches, the statistics on annual income expenditures in various provinces have been released one after another. The cabinet has to formulate a few expenses for next year. Zhu Yunwen is so busy that he doesn’t even have the time to find Zhu Di and Zhu Zhi to play cards.
It took an hour for Zhu Yunwen to put down his pen, stretched his waist, and slapped his forehead with a blaming voice.
"Look at me, I forgot that Uncle Seven is still there when I get busy."
I believe you!
You just want to give me a warning.
Since he mourned Taizu, this is the first time Zhu Jing has entered Nanjing. He has complained about Zhu Yunwen's words.
"I went to Beijing this time just to see if the emperor's holy court, Jin An, and there is nothing serious about it.
Seeing that Your Majesty is so concerned about the country and the affairs of the country, it is really a model for me. I am fortunate to see Your Majesty’s approval of politics closely, how can I feel the passage of time?”
Zhu Jing pretended to come back to his senses suddenly and said with a smile.
Zhu Yunwen's hand was served with tea, and he was so happy that he was not amused by the sudden low-level flattery. He quickly coughed and tightened his face.
"Uncle Seven has been awarded too much. Grandpa has taught me many times that I cannot neglect the government's affairs. When it comes to diligence, how can I compare to my grandfather? If I really want to be hardworking, no uncle can do more hard work than me.
The fourth uncle has to worry about military and national affairs, and also goes to the martial arts hall to teach. Uncle Wang from all over the country is even more responsible for the land and never slackened day and night. Even Uncle Qi, who has been worried about it in Shandong in recent years, what is this?”
For some reason, Zhu Jing's heart suddenly jumped, and he beat the emperor and said the word Shandong. When Zhu Jing heard it, he was like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
He looked up at Zhu Yunwen with the courage, and Zhu Jing forced out a three-point smile.
"This is all my duty. How dare I take the emperor's concern? I am very grateful."
"Yesterday, Sheng Ren entered the North Korea and reported on the canal matters, saying that everything was going well, and the diversion had been cleared. When next year begins, half of Shandong province will not be threatened by drought."
Zhu Yunwen smiled with a heart, "In order to connect the canal to Shandong, the imperial court allocated more than 4 million taels of funds, plus the southern Zhili and Jiangnan to supply grain."
Does the emperor know something?
Impossible! There is anything in Shandong that has always been done together to discuss before reporting on Nanjing. It can be said that it is not leaking and cannot be passed into the emperor's ears.
Zhu Jing comforted himself in his heart and forced himself not to think too much.
"It's all thanks to the Emperor's blessing. It will take more than half a year to have good weather, otherwise how could the construction be completed so smoothly."
"No matter what, it's fine to finish."
Zhu Yunwen explained, "With this tributary, the danger of drought can be greatly reduced. The people of Shandong will be much better in the future, and I am very happy.
However, I also told Sheng Ren that after he went back, he should strengthen the embankments along the coast and not turn water conservancy into floods, which would be unsatisfactory."
Zhu Jing hurriedly bowed and praised, "Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son and cares about the people is a blessing for my Ming Dynasty. My father has a spirit in heaven. I will definitely be very happy to see Your Majesty like this."
"Okay, Uncle Qi will do it."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, "It's just the New Year's Day, and all the uncles who are close to Nanjing have entered Beijing one after another. I have ordered the uncle of Liao to be the You Zongzheng, so I will treat you well this time."
"Thank you for your kindness, I will leave."
Zhu Jing respectfully kowtowed on the ground, got up and retreated all the way away from Qianqing Palace.
The huge bedroom once again fell into silence.
Shuangxi waved his hands, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the hall bowed their heads and retreated one after another. Then one of them walked out of the side warmer pavilion and fell silently to Zhu Yunwen not far from him, covering his forehead with his forehead.
"I just gave him a chance."
Zhu Yunwen leaned against the dragon throne with his eyes closed.
"He doesn't say it, I can't ask."
The man's body was trembling all the time, and when he heard Zhu Yunwen's words, he trembled even harder.
"Your Majesty is kind and righteous."
"Hundreds of lives, millions of ICBC. If my grandfather saw it in Tian Youling, I would be very sad."
Zhu Yunwen's knuckles were white and he said with gritted teeth.
"I just wanted to give him a glass of poisonous wine to make him more decent, but he insisted on challenging my bottom line. He felt that I would not peel the clan's skin or remove the clan's tendons?"
Huh ~
After several deep breaths, Zhu Yunwen's voice calmed down again and waved his hand to the man.
"You go down, I know."
Torture and kill the people, greed for ICBC!
Zhu Jing, Zhu Jing, you have completely forgotten Emperor Taizu!
Zhu Yunwen really couldn't understand why the people in this world had already enjoyed endless wealth and glory, were already arrogant, and still had to greedily absorb the blood of the court and gain happiness by ravaging the people?
Zhu Yunwen never understood human nature for two lifetimes.
"Your Majesty, are you going to take someone now?"
Shuangxi lowered her head, and her tone was calm as if she was going to kill the prince of the Ming Dynasty next time, but a chicken.
Pressing the temple that was slightly swelling and painful, Zhu Yunwen shook his head gently.
"You can't alert him. Let him live for a few years, otherwise it will be difficult to collect evidence of his crime in the future."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen suddenly waved his hand.
"I won't talk about these unhappy things anymore. Shuangxi, Concubine Jing, you're about to give birth."
Shuangxi smiled and smiled.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has taken the pulse before. It is estimated that he will be in labor within half a month."
"I have a headache about the name every day. I don't think about it anymore. I want to go and see Concubine Jing. If you go back and send someone to Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin a message, they are more knowledgeable than me, so let them think of a few words and send them to the palace."
Zhu Yunwen stood up and walked towards the harem.
