When several eunuchs were dragged to the gate tower, a puddle of water was left on the ground. They were so frightened that they just begged for mercy.
Just then, a voice said, "Wait!"
When Zhu Gaochi looked back, he saw that the person who spoke was the Crown Princess Zhang. In this mansion, after he gave the order, the only person who could stop him was Zhang. Zhu Gaochi frowned, but did not speak in a hurry.
The eunuchs who were about to be beaten to death broke free, crawled to Zhang and knelt down, "Thank you, Crown Princess, you are so kind-hearted, thank you..."
Zhang said coldly, "Don't thank me! Whether you can survive or not is up to the prince." She knelt down and said, "No one wants to see such a tragedy, but it has already happened. Now that things have come to this, prince, please calm down and deal with them later, okay? Let's go in and sit for a while."
Zhu Gaochi glanced at her and walked into the house without saying a word.
After sending Wang Gui and others away from Yunnan Mansion, Mu Sheng still did not come to the Han Prince's Mansion to meet them. Mu Sheng is just a marquis; Zhu Gaoxu is a prince. It is impossible to go to see Mu Sheng first. He can only wait and see what is going on.Zhu Gaoxu feels that people still need to meet and communicate. Even if those etiquettes are a bit false, the basic attitudes such as goodwill, malice, or wariness can still be judged; otherwise, they can only be imagined and suspicious of each other.To understand the situation in Yunnan Mansion, in addition to looking for Mu Mansion, which has been running Yunnan for many years, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Shen Xu might also know a lot.At this time, he thought of the pear garden south of Caihaizi. Mrs. Shen Xu had said that there would be a VIP seat reserved for him....The prince's trip was a big one, but today Zhu Gaoxu wore his old light purple robe and went out with only Wei Da and
The girl dressed as a man looked at the receipt and said, "Please redeem this receipt for him."Little brother? Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Forget it. That little brother just broke things just now because he wanted to punish evil and promote good. I just sat there and didn't do anything. So I'll just clean up the mess."The young lady was not persistent. "Brother Hong is generous and kind, and I admire you very much." She paused and said, "See you later. Goodbye."Zhu Gaoxu also said goodbye to her and turned around and shouted, "Check out!"He took a look and saw the two girls going into the theater.When counting the money, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes, after all, they were printed by his family. But he found that the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes had depreciated in Yunnan Province, and the ratio of notes to money was 50 to 1! It seemed that the Ming Dynasty court could no longer play with this advanced paper currency.
"When a man is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..." The sound of a man reading a book came from the Wenlou of the Han Palace. When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw a large group of young men reciting the primer, he thought the scene was a bit weird.However, this strange thing was created by him. The people who came to study were soldiers from the "Royal Palace Guarding Hundred Households" and the Royal Palace Guard. Zhu Gaoxu found that more than half of these men were illiterate. How could they be used if they were illiterate?The bright and clean lobby of Wenlou, originally a place where elegant Confucian scholars discussed classics, was now filled with two or three hundred dark-skinned men sitting upright. Hou Hai, who was teaching, paced among the crowd while reading.Hou Hai was the first to see Zhu Gaoxu. He quickly put down the book in his hand, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."Wang Bin
Although the Mu Mansion is a marquis's mansion, it is larger than the average prince's mansion.Geng Hao was led by a maid for a long time before he reached the gatehouse of the inner house. At this moment, a pleasant voice asked, "When did cousin come?"The girl who caught up with him from behind, with big eyes and a small chin, was Geng Hao's cousin, Mu Zhen, the eldest daughter of Mu Sheng. She was no longer a little girl, but had grown into a pretty girl, with beautiful eyes that were smiling without smiling, and quite charming.She panted but smiled, "I just passed by here and suddenly saw my cousin. I almost didn't recognize him."Geng Hao glanced behind her and thought that she might have known that he was talking to the old lady just now, but she was pretending to have seen it. Geng Hao bowed and said, "Cousin, long time no see."Mu Zhen smiled lightly and said to the maid beside Geng Hao, "You go back and serve your grandmother. My cousi
There was a shaded street on the west side of the Mu Mansion. When Zhu Gaoxu came in by carriage, he felt the light suddenly dim; the shade of the trees blocked the sun, leaving colorful light and shadows on the brick and stone ground.Zhu Gaoxu gently lifted the curtain and felt that the breeze in the air was much cooler than outside. He looked at the street in front of him and seemed to see the exit of the tunnel, with dazzling light.The air was filled with the smell of wood ash and fermented black beans. Zhu Gaoxu then remembered that it was almost noon and the people around him should be cooking. Yunnan Han people like to put fermented black beans in their home-cooked dishes the most, and they put that stuff in almost every dish, so it's no wonder there is such a smell.The big trees on both sides are mostly banyan trees, mostly growing in the courtyards of houses, and occasionally growing on the street. Not far away there is a big banyan tree, with man
Just south of the Prince of Han's Palace, inside the Duanli Gate, Wang Bin and Hou Hai came out of the "Shouyu Suo" office on the west side and walked together towards the Chengyun Hall in the north.The front hall, named Chengyun Hall, is covered with glazed tile arches, which are shining green in the sun. The sky is blue and white, and the ground is full of palaces and spacious land. Although it is located in a remote area, it does not feel blocked at all."I heard that Commander Wang once blocked a musket for the prince and almost lost his life?" Hou Hai turned around and asked.The look in this civil servant's small eyes always makes people feel uncomfortable, as if they are being spied on."Hmph." Wang Bin snorted, as if he disliked Hou Hai.Hou Hai stopped talking in anger, and the two walked silently across the wide brick floor and came to the front of Chengyun Hall. They did not enter the main hall, but walked to the row of houses on the
After returning to the palace from Shen's house, Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to do, so he returned to the inner hall. When he saw Guo Wei folding clothes in his palace, he casually said, "There are so many people in the palace, how can Wei'er do these trivial things by herself?"Guo Wei put down her clothes and came to salute and said, "Your Majesty, it is a wife's duty to take care of her husband's daily life. I don't want others to take care of Your Majesty's clothes.""Okay." Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay much attention, walked to a table and sat down. The maid brought tea.Seeing Guo Wei's graceful figure walking around the palace, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a subtle feeling in his heart.After a while, he started talking casually, "Before we left Beijing, I heard that my father no longer lived in Qianqing Palace, and my mother had lived in Kunning Palace for two months. She said she was not used to it. I also feel like this The palace is just grand and not really s
Walking up to the Wangqin Tower northeast of the Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu looked northeast toward the capital, but it was impossible to see the capital.He looked past the Kunming city wall in the distance and gazed towards the clear horizon, only to vaguely see the shadow of a distant mountain. That mountain might be Phoenix Mountain.The horizon was blocked by the shadow of the mountains, and only at this moment could he feel the isolation of the southwestern border.According to the Ming Dynasty etiquette, the Prince's Mansion built this Wangqinlou so that the descendants of the Zhu family could miss the emperor and relatives who were far away in the capital.However, Zhu Gaoxu stood here, not missing his parents or brothers and sisters, he only missed Miao Jin. Most of the people he cared about from the bottom of his heart in the Ming Dynasty had followed him to Yunnan Prefecture, except Miao Jin.Wang Gui and his men had been away from Yunnan f
