Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The emperor moved the capital to the Central Plains, reshaped the Ming Dynasty in a desperate situation, and went north to fight, winning a brilliant victory.

According to tradition, this year's Zhengdan should be celebrated with great congratulations.

Chen Qiyu and other court officials also proposed a New Year's Day performance...

Congratulations to the Emperor!

Celebrate the Ming Dynasty!

But he was rejected by Zhu Youjian.

He put the performance on the Lantern Festival.

Because he wants to bring the nobles in the harem...

Go travel!

……

Zhu Youjian only held a hasty banquet on New Year's Day.

Although the dishes are richer than any state banquet in the entire Ming Dynasty, the process is extremely simple.

All the music and dance were gone.

The state banquet, which was supposed to last for several hours, ended in only half an hour.

Just after noon, Zhu Youjian asked all officials to leave the palace.

"Wang Chengen.

Are the two queens and noble ladies ready? "

Zhu Youjian rubbed his face, and after dispersing the faint smell of alcohol, he asked.

"Reply to Your Majesty:

The two queens, the prince, the empresses, Prince Ding, and the two princesses are all ready.

At this time, His Majesty is waiting for you in Nuanyang Palace. "

Wang Chengen leaned back and said.

"go!"

Zhu Youjian immediately stood up and walked along the palace wall towards Zhang Yan's Nuanyang Palace.

……

In Nuanyang Palace, a group of warblers and swallows have gathered together.

The concubines gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Zhu Cijiong was walking among the nobles with the little princess Zhu Yini, who had just started to lose her teeth.

Zhu Yini is too young to catch up with Zhu Cijiong who is like a mud monkey.

The two are chasing each other, the former is slippery and the latter is shaky...

Zhu Yini kept shouting:

"Brother, brother, wait for me, wait for me..."

(The term "brother" is very interesting.

During the Tang Dynasty, elder brother was the name a father used when speaking to his son, similar to the context of "I am my father".

By the Song Dynasty, "gege" evolved into the same usage as today: the wife called her husband "gege", with a boudoir context.

In the Yuan Dynasty, when speaking to Zhang San, the elder brother used a term similar to "your father" to address Zhang San's father.

However, the colloquial meaning is much stronger, and it is semi-slang, a bit like today's "your dad".

In the Ming Dynasty, parents called their sons elder brother. For example, in the records left by Chongzhen, there are many words such as "Brother Xun" and "Brother Jiong". Even Zhu Youjian was called "Brother Jian" before; calling his daughter , then it is "sister", and if you add a word in front, it is "a certain sister" {today, this is a curse}.

After the mid-Song Dynasty, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, servants called the master's young master, also called "brother".

At the same time, the custom of a woman calling her lover brother is still preserved.

At the same time, brother also had its current usage, meaning elder brother.

Many people will talk about how our current language habits came about...

In fact, words and languages ​​are not static.

Look at how long the Internet has only been around now and how many new words have appeared.

For example, "fuck", "wow"... (wow is an exclusive word in Hokkien to express negative distance contact between men and women. What about now? I am amazed.)

There are no fixed habits or customs.

Chinese culture itself is absorption, integration, innovation, and is always evolving.

Never rest on your laurels. )

……

The little girl is whining...

Zhu Cijiong, however, turned around and teased as he ran:

"Come on, come on, come after me!"

The little girl didn't know why, but she became anxious.

Immediately he put his hand on his waist and pointed at King Ding with the other hand.

"Old man, watch your move!"

Zhu Yini had just lost her front teeth and her speech was a bit leaky.

The childish voice and the angry expression on his face made all the noble people overjoyed.

Zhang Yan smiled and stretched out her hand to pull Zhu Cijiong:

"Look at you, you are leading a bad sister."

Zhang Yan completely forgot about this signature move, but she came out with it...

But Zhu Cijiong, like a loach, immediately ducked and passed by Concubine Liu's side.

Zhang Yan missed the point...

Zhu Cijiong also turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Zhu Yini:

"A little bit!"

He made a face:

"Hua Yazi, come and chase me!"

Zhang Yan's face was stern, and with Concubine Liu's cover, she raised her hand and grabbed Zhu Cijiong's collar, reaching out to give Zhu Cijiong a chestnut...

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment, Wang Chengen's voice rang.

The emperor is here!

Everyone hurriedly stood still according to their rank.

Zhang Yan glared at Zhu Cijiong and let go...

Zhu Cijiong did not dare to be naughty anymore, and stood respectfully beside Prince Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Youjian's figure has already entered Nuanyang Palace.

"I, my concubine, are waiting to see your Majesty!"

The two queens, together with the nobles, hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhu Cijiong, who just looked like a mud monkey, was very well-behaved now. He followed the prince brother obediently and bent down to salute Zhu Youjian:

"My son sees my father."

"Get up."

Zhu Youjian spoke while walking and had already walked in:

"We are all family members, so we don't need so many etiquettes."

"Father, my brother bullies me."

Zhu Yini, who had small arms and legs, ran towards Zhu Youjian.

He stretched out his arms in thick clothes and asked for a hug, while also applying eye drops to his second brother.

Dressed in a bright red palace outfit, she has gained a lot of weight and is no longer the bean sprouts she once was.

It looks like a dumpling.

Zhu Youjian squatted down and picked up Zhu Yini, who was already a lot heavier.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Zhu Ruini's little nose, and said with a smile:

"Tell me, which brother bullied you?"

"Humph!

Father pinched my nose again and ignored you! "

Zhu Yini proudly broke away from the emperor's hand, grabbed the emperor's dragon robe, pulled her legs away, and slipped off him.

His little face wrinkled, and he said to Zhu Youjian righteously:

"My mother said, don't let anyone pinch your nose.

Otherwise, it won’t look good. "

"Hahaha!"

The little princess' words made everyone laugh.

Zhu Youjian was also overjoyed and reached out to grab Zhu Yini, preparing to tease her some more.

who knows--

The little girl has already dragged the second brother who just "bullied her" and ran away...

In the crowd, Zhu Yini grabbed her second brother's shoulder hard, biting her ear and said:

"Second brother, second brother, let me tell you."

"Father is a bad guy, let's ignore him..."

Zhu Youjian had a stinky face.

Who said this is a little cotton-padded jacket?

This is really leaky!

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed even more happily.

Zhang Yan reached out and pulled Zhou.

Empress Zhou, whose past feud was over, understood instantly and hurriedly said to Zhu Youjian:

"Your Majesty, I am a concubine, I am a concubine..."

Who knows that when you open your mouth, you will be speechless.

It seems - this is interfering in government affairs...

"Um?

What does the Queen say? "
