It seems that I am still too full [travel]

After the establishment of the new dynasty, the new emperor fought outside and ruled internally, and finally unified the world. After a few years, the new Ming Dynasty, Haiyan, Heqing, was full of vitality, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The deserted harem gradually attracted the attention of courtiers and common people all over the world.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he first rewarded the meritorious ministers according to their merits, and then enfeoffed the clan relatives.In addition to posthumously proclaiming the deceased ancestors, his elder brother who died young was posthumously named Prince Shen, and Prince Shen's widow and only son were conferred the titles of concubine and eldest son in turn, and lived in the Prince's Mansion outside the palace.The palace is sparsely populated, and now there are only a few old concubines brought over from the Han family, not to mention the empress, there is not even a concubine or below.It has to be said that this kind of situation is really unprecedented for the royal family. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was an extremely independent man, and he was actually a golden bachelor.

For this weird thing, the folks have different opinions, and they have everything to say. As for the bureaucrats and subordinates of the upper class, they think more about it.But regarding the topic of the new emperor's harem, for some reason, the old officials who followed the emperor to fight the world kept secrets and kept quiet about it, but a group of upstart officials looked at the school-age women at home or relatives, and their hearts were hot , eager to try, secretly planning their own.

However, the most defensive opponents of these upstarts who started to make plans are the new emperor's maternal ancestors, the Han family.Now everyone in the world knows that the new emperor is the royal lineage of the Daliang royal family of the previous dynasty. His family name is Nai Chu. It was also listed as a first-class Zhongninghou's mansion and enjoyed a salary. Even the mother of the new emperor came from the Han family and was a relative. People at the time always believed that the Han family was very likely to want to get their hands on the queen's position just like them.

As everyone knows, the Han family is also suffering now. Don't look at the first-class Zhongninghou's mansion in the eyes of outsiders. It is full of flowers and looks very bright, but in fact it only enjoys salary. The noble titles of the mansion are only inherited for three generations rather than hereditary. After three generations, if the children in the family do not live up to their expectations, their Han family will still end up with nothing.

Now the elders of the Han family, especially the elders of the big clan, are so full of regret. In the past, they were ambitious, forgot their original intentions, and relied on the power of their elders to try to manipulate the fledgling new emperor at that time. Later, even the new emperor gradually Separated from the Han family to stand on his own, and also kept making small moves behind the scenes. Now that the new dynasty is established, although Han Ji thought of the Han family's merits in raising the blood of the previous dynasty, he never liquidated it and instead raised the Han family, but that's all.They had planned for the queen's position before, and the Wang family's first daughter was only one of the candidates, but they couldn't even send anyone to them.

But she said that this daughter of the royal family could not enter the new emperor's harem, and it was nothing at all. There were too many people who sent the new emperor's beauties, but her father was a restless master. After taking refuge in Han Ji, he was first demoted because of dereliction of duty , and then secretly contacted Xie Yong, the prime minister of the court, many times. This is nothing. After all, as long as he does not rebel, Han Ji will not take care of the personal relationship of a small soldier under his command, but he should never use his schemes to the point where he cannot move. on people.

Before the plague hit, Xie Shi went to Fuzhou to assist Qiu Zhi to preside over the overall situation. This Lord Wang accepted Xie Yong's money as a bribe, and intentionally or unintentionally used words to lure Xie Shi to visit Xie Pu in prison.Xie Shi is well-known among the people for his kindness, Xie Yong's original intention was that he would see his cousin of the same blood descended to this point, and he would be soft-hearted and let him go. Unfortunately, Xie Shi was not the heart of the Holy Father, so he failed to do so.But in the end, this move touched Han Ji's rebellion. The end of this Lord Wang who wanted to cling to his relatives was not good. His family was backward, and the daughter of a family who had been pampered for more than ten years could only marry an ordinary woman in the end.

In the winter of the fifth year of Kaiping, Bianjing City, Yuewang Mansion.

Today is the beginning of winter, and the city of Bianjing occupies the central part of China. After all, it is no warmer than Fuzhou. At this time, it is already a place where the wind is howling and the snow is fluttering.It's cold outside, and ordinary people are naturally staying at home. There are few people on the street at this time, except in front of the Yuewang Mansion, the sun is shining, and there are many cars and horses. Looking at the family coat of arms on it, I was secretly speechless, I am afraid that the most powerful adults in their Ming Dynasty are all here.

"Is this the Prince Yue's Mansion?" Walking through that street, a new official asked curiously in a low voice.

Someone nodded, and the little official said again: "It is said that King Yue is a fairy who came down to help His Majesty to calm down the world. After that, he was named the only king with a different surname in this dynasty. , but really?"

Hearing this, the leading patrolman glanced at him, and sternly reprimanded: "Your honor, is it something we can argue with?" Not to mention that it was King Yue's tongue that he was chewing.The old official used to be a black armored guard, and he retired after hurting his leg. It seems that people like them who can be close to serve, most of them know in their hearts that the crime of criticizing His Majesty may not be as serious as criticizing the King of Yue.

It is said that the bow is hidden, and the rabbit is dead, but the experience that has been fulfilled in the past dynasties cannot be fulfilled in His Majesty. Their Majesty could not tolerate any attack from others to the King of Yue. It is said that when His Majesty fought in the world in his early years, because At that time, the king of Yue cultivated immortal rice, and also made bombs and other things. He was assassinated and hijacked by several groups of hostile forces, and once the king of Yue almost died because of this.At that time, His Majesty was furious, not only personally dispatched troops to destroy the state capital occupied by the master messenger behind the scenes, but also cut its leader to death in public, as a warning to everyone else.After killing several waves of small forces in this way, perhaps seeing that the end of offending the King of Yue was too severe, the subsequent assassinations gradually decreased.

The old official squinted his eyes, and thought to himself, don't look at the excitement in Jingzhong because of the choice of concubine, I am afraid that in the eyes of His Majesty, the three thousand harem may not be as important as the king of Yue alone.

Wangfuzhong——

"Why didn't you see some old gentlemen? I heard that they came to you directly after the next court. It stands to reason that they are faster than me, a busy little official like me?" Although the speaker was wearing the official uniform of the court, , but at this moment, they were unrestrained, and everyone collapsed on the special sofa in the mansion, and said lazily.

The owner of the house is obviously used to behaving like a friend, and he doesn't care, his voice is warm and clear, like the warmth on the white snow, "The old gentlemen heard that the plum blossoms in the back mountain are blooming, and they organized a group to Wenmei Pavilion halfway up the mountain to taste it. Ming Shangmei, I guess it will come down later."

"Such a beautiful thing, you should wait for me! Nowadays, the officials and officials all over the capital, in order to cater to their wishes, who doesn't plant plums? When winter comes, every family will post a post to hold a plum appreciation party, saying To judge the first plum scene in Beijing, but let me tell you, the first plum scene in Beijing is to explore the fragrant snowy sea in the mountain behind you."

"That's true. The back mountain of the son's mansion is connected to the short mountain. It is uniquely blessed. There are thousands of plum trees. If you climb the hill and look at it, the flowers and branches are covered with waves. If the sea is rippling and the ground is covered with snow, there is no other place that has such a superb view. How could it be such an honor to be nominated by His Majesty? It's really ridiculous and generous."

"Well said! As expected of an attendant of the Yue Palace, this awareness follows your master, and is first-rate."

Xie Shi chuckled, realizing why Cen Yu and the attendants around him talked about Pinmei's meeting in Beijing for no reason today.It is well known throughout the country that His Majesty is addicted to plums. Not only do plums grow in his residence, but he also likes to drink plum wine and eat plum blossom crisps.As the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee repeatedly mentioned the matter of choosing a concubine this year, many officials and officials who intend to succeed in the post are building plum gardens, holding plum poetry gatherings for noble girls, and competing for the title of the first plum scene and plum blossom fairy, for The only thing is to show your face in front of His Majesty.

Xie Shi added a cup of hot tea to Cen Yu. There was a wintersweet flower floating on the cup, which was made from plum blossoms collected this winter. Are there any worries?" Xie Shi, as a southerner, felt cold after winter, and he didn't want to "check in for work and have a meeting", so he simply excused his illness and didn't go to court. Anyway, his "boss" lived in his house every day, and he was available at any time. Reporting to work, and he has just hung up a idle job, so it doesn't matter if he likes to go or not.Now I stay at home every day, eat delicious food, and read the new book of writer Luo Da, what a beautiful day!

Hearing this, Cen Yu immediately got up serious, and said with a serious face: "The idiots in the court are playing again to ask His Majesty to draft a queen."

"Oh, it's not a rare thing, so what's the matter?" Xie Shi's expression remained unmoved, even though those ministers essentially wanted to choose a concubine for his family and let him wear a cuckold, he still played it lightly.

It is true that the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, and Cen Yu is worried for him when he sees him like that, "This time is different, this time it is a joint letter, nearly one-third of the ministers of the court and China have signed it, such a big momentum, It is impossible for His Majesty to veto it with a single word like the previous few times, and he has to give an explanation in the face." Speaking of this, Cen Yu rebelliously thought in his heart that there is really no other way, so let his master declare "No" to the outside world!

He looked at his friend across the street. Even though he was over [-] years old, God was still not willing to give him a trace of time. He was still beautiful and flawless, and his complexion was unparalleled. He has a gorgeous temperament, leaning on the small table in a blouse at the moment, like a reed leaning on a jade tree, with such a fairy boy beside him, his Majesty is blind, so he will abandon him and look for others, and others will not look at themselves in the mercury mirror, See if you are worthy!

Xie Shi smiled, and suddenly, he looked at the group of people who came out of the window stepping on the snow, and his eyes only fell on the headed man in the black robe, and said softly: "So what? He can only have me in this life, and he is destined to be the only one in his life." Let those adults down."

Cen Yu was amazed at Xie Shi's straightforwardness and enthusiasm at the moment, and heard the movement from outside the house, he knew who it was, he opened his mouth to say something, but seeing the determination and indifference on the face of his friend in front of him, he felt that there was no need to say more, this I am afraid that the friendship between the two is stronger than anyone else, and it will never change. How can ordinary people control it? Why is he so careless?

His Majesty came in person, and Cen Yu stepped forward to meet him first.Han Ji came in from outside the house and took off the cloak outside. He was warming up by the stove for fear of freezing his body, so he didn't approach Xie Shi immediately.This meeting glanced at Cen Yu, indicating that he didn't need to be too polite, and teased lightly: "Today, the servant of the household department is playing, and the task of the household department is heavy. I beg you to transfer more people. I think you, the secretary of the household department, are quite free."

Cen Yu chuckled, not at all timid, "Your Majesty, don't want to wrong the minister. The minister has to work overtime to handle official affairs before coming to the meeting. He is too busy with paperwork on weekdays, so busy that he can't even take care of food! Now the Ministry of Household Affairs It is true that there is a shortage of manpower, Your Majesty will have to deploy more manpower, it is best to bring in that young man Xue Sheng, I think he is more than enough to be a servant of the household department, it would be a pity to become a teacher!"

Han Ji didn't want to discuss court affairs with him, but just dealt with him: "Go and ask him if he is willing to serve." Xue Sheng practiced and worked under Han Ji when he was young, but now that the world is peaceful, he has followed his teacher Qin Sui, he devoted himself to scientific research.

Xie Shi had a smile in his eyes, and went forward to meet him, looked at his clothes, and knew that he had changed into plain clothes in the main room after returning from the palace. It was probably a meeting with friends today, and he was afraid of being disturbed by wearing a dragon robe. People are uncomfortable.

Han Ji stared at him, but took half a step back, and said in a low voice, "Good boy, be careful of the cold." His lover is afraid of the heat in summer and the cold in winter, so Han Ji pays special attention to his body when winter comes. , for fear that he would contract typhoid fever.

"Don't be afraid, I'm going to eat hot pot later, I'm sure I'll sweat from the heat." Xie Shi chuckled.Since the expedition fleet across the Pacific Ocean arrived in the New World a few years ago, various new foods from overseas have flowed into China.In addition to high-yielding grain potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, the most popular is probably chili.The hot pot soup bases of various colors prepared by Xie Shi himself are also new in Bazhen Pavilion, becoming the most popular seasoning for officials and officials in winter.When thanking, it may be "there is no pepper for a long time",

After the world was pacified, Mr. Song, Yang Weizhen, Qin Sui and many other great scholars traveled around, collecting ancient and modern classics and history books, and determined to compile a grand canon that has never been seen before or since. In Xie Shi's words, it is Huaxia It is an encyclopedia for human beings to organize knowledge and pass it on to later generations. The great Confucianists did not return to Beijing until recently, and now they live in Xie Shi's mansion.Xie Shi had this banquet in order to cleanse them up.

The two masters chatted and laughed in a low voice, forming a small world of their own, no one dared to come forward to disturb, even Cen Yu, who was talkative just now, excused his respect and retreated with a wink.

After driving away the cold air on their bodies, the two sat down next to each other.Xie Shi was afraid of the cold, so the reception room was made into a sunken tatami style, and the two of them were like Siamese twins, even when they sat down their knees touched each other.Han Ji took the hands of the people around him into his palms, and felt relieved when he didn't notice the coolness.Xie Shi laughed that he was too careful, "A few days ago, I only caught a cold when I went out to play with Fenyuan and caught the snow, and it will be fine after drinking a few doses of medicine, don't worry."

Han Ji stared at him, and said solemnly: "You dote on her too much."

When he thanked him, he laughed, "The little girl must be pampered. Besides, if you want to talk about who dotes on her the most, I think you are more immodest than me. I heard from the former officer that you plan to knight her. With you Is this the way to be the emperor?" After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because Xie Shi didn't like the inhuman royal practice of letting people become eunuchs, Han Ji abandoned this method. Today's ministers are a bit like the secretary of the president of a large group in the past. Assist the emperor in handling government affairs.

His Majesty the Emperor was not annoyed when his husband read it. He touched his nose and began to change the subject: "Send someone to Prince Shen's Mansion to call Chu Ning."

Facing Xie Shi's puzzled eyes, Han Ji only said indifferently: "He has reached his age, and he can't always be under the protection of his parents. It's time to learn how to deal with interpersonal relationships. Only in the future can I trust him with state affairs."

Xie Shi was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Have you decided?"

"Things that were decided more than ten years ago are just announced to the world. The decree has been drawn up and will be announced after the opening of the dynasty in the next year." what to eat today.

"When he can share the burden for me, I will go to play with you when I have time. You have never been to your fief, so you can go and see it then." South of Nanling, the Guangdong-Guangzhou area was designated by Han Ji as Xie Shi's fief , he is also the only prince in this dynasty who has an actual fiefdom, and he is still a king with a different surname. He shocked the world at the beginning, which is enough to see the greatness of the emperor's grace.

Xie Shiwei broke away from his hand and held him instead, with a smile brighter than the melting snow outside the window, "Okay, you and I will swim together."

"Brother Shi, we are here, maybe we have eaten hot pot? We have heard the name of Xie's hot pot for a long time while traveling outside, and today finally got what we wanted!"

"Gentlemen, go slowly, the road is slippery in snowy weather."

"Don't worry, Qin boy, the old man is in good health, and with Xie boy's delicious food, he will live another ten years without any problem."

Xie Shi heard the movement outside the house, greeted him, and said with a smile: "The gentlemen are all national treasures. If the boy's craftsmanship can make the gentlemen live a long life, it will be the boy's honor."

Several old gentlemen loved his words, no matter what they said, they were all happy to hear him, as if they were ten years younger.

"But from now on, I'll just stay in Yue Wang's mansion and take care of him. No one can drive me away." Mr. Song said, deliberately looking at His Majesty behind Xie Shi.

Han Ji: ...What if Fu Lang is too popular?

It is snowing heavily outside the house, and the warm room inside the house is fragrant, the copper furnace is filled with tin, the porcelain pot is lacquered with dowry, and the cups are intertwined.The reunion of old friends, a happy event, Xie Shi also drank a lot of wine, at this time, resting his chin on his hands slightly drunk, looking at the people around him with twinkling eyes, and seeing his friends and confidants, the great Confucianism and giants gathered together, laughing and laughing, and looking back at the past Alone and helpless for half his life, he has long since let go.

How lucky he was when he thanked him. In this life, he was accompanied by a confidant and loved one, and his confidantes and friends often get together. The world is clean and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If all the things in the previous life were in exchange for luck in this life, then this is a gift of fate. This life has already been completed. Ask for nothing else.
