Chapter 589: King Xiang
Soon it was the fourth day of the first month. Wen Yin was born at the beginning of Yin Shi on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and today is the third day after birth, the day of the third day.
Because he was born to the queen and was a son, the vassal kings in Beijing gave exquisite gifts, mainly collars and longevity locks of various kinds, basically either gold or jade, or gold inlaid with jade, and even silver was less; And they are all sent in sets, Wen Yin just can't wear eighteen heads.
If ordinary people don't dare to give gifts like this now, but who calls them royal clansmen, even a county king has a part of the land from his father, plus now ordinary merchants have to find a shelter - there is no better shelter than these princes, they all take money from merchants, so they are very rich.
According to Yunxi's investigation, the prince's feudal place is that the county king who is not yet an adult has someone to shelter under the door. Yun Xi called all the county kings to the capital, and also had the idea of letting them harm a few local merchants.
Yun Xi accepted their gifts with a smile, and said a few words to the acquaintance from time to time; Xi Yao also came out to entertain the princess. It was lively for a long time, and most of the people dispersed after lunch at noon, and Zhu Bai originally wanted to disperse, but was left behind by Yun Xi.
Yun Xi took him to the Qianqing Palace, and after the two of them sat down, Yun Xi instructed Wang Xi to make a pot of Biluochun, and poured two cups, one in front of Zhu Bai and one in front of Yun Xi. Yun Xi picked it up and drank it.
Zhu Bai thanked Wang Xi and took a teacup to drink.
He took a sip, and the hot tea emitted hot water vapor, although it didn't affect his vision much, but Zhu Bai looked at it from this angle, and felt that the lines of Yun Xi's face seemed to be much softer.
On November 26, he received a letter from the imperial court and a letter from Yun Xi, asking him to pay tribute in Beijing in the first month. Of course, he immediately felt that something must be something.
Are you going to seal me away?' Zhu Bai thought so at the time. But he looked at the map carefully and felt that there was no place around Daming that could be divided for the time being.
In the past two and a half years of Yunxi's reign, everyone has figured out some ways for him to act, everything will be foreshadowed in advance, and every prince has been prepared there before the separation, but he has not seen Yunxi have this kind of preparation in the past year, and it is impossible to abolish Fusang or the Korean king and let him do it.
So he was very strange, he couldn't figure out what Yun Xi wanted him to do, so he came to the capital in a daze.
Zhu Bai was thinking about it, Yun Xi opened his mouth and smiled: "Twelfth uncle, my nephew heard that you are now more and more proficient in Taoist research?" Even the Taoist people in the Taoist temple near Jingzhou can't compare to the twelve uncles. ”
"How can there be such a thing, after all, I am not as good as a real person to study the Dao all day long, so I am far inferior to them, this is all touted." Zhu Bai smiled.
"Haha, nephew, I heard that Uncle Twelve is now the most profound person in Jingzhou, and he is still preaching to others." Yun Xi smiled.
"Where do I preach to others? It's just that the subordinates in the house are worshiped by the three Qings and the four emperors, and that is not someone else. It's Brother Seven, I heard that Brother Seven is really going to Buddhism now? Zhu Bai said.
As soon as he mentioned Zhu Yunxi's face, his face was a little unnatural, but then he returned to his normal face and said, "That's true." Since November of the first year of Jianye, the seventh uncle has been reciting Buddhist scriptures every day, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and has been officially ordained in November last year, worshipping under the name of Master Yinjie of Yuanjue Temple in Qingzhou. ”
When Yun Xi had just quelled the rebellion and knew about it, he thought that Zhu Rong was just stimulated and couldn't think about it for a while, but he happened to be disgusted with Zhu Rong, so he let him stay in the local area to clean the streets. 'King Qi sweeping the streets' once became a scene in Qingzhou, and hundreds of people in Shandong came with their families to watch dioramas.
But he didn't think that Zhu Rong was real, according to the words of Buddhism, he was enlightened, sincerely good, sincerely to the Buddha, and repented, even the people of Qingzhou, who had been harmed by him a lot, forgave Zhu Rong. In the end, Master Yin Jie accepted him as an apprentice.
Yun Xi was very surprised when he first learned the news, not only him, but also the entire elite circle in the capital was sensational, and countless people wanted to go to Shandong Yuanjue Temple to have a look. Yun Xi finally approved Zhu Rong's children in Beijing to go and see. They didn't know what was going on there, and when they came back, they all fasted and recited Buddhism.
Yun Xi shook his head and shook these thoughts out of his head. 'How did I think Zhu Yu was here?' ’
He brushed up his interrupted train of thought, and smiled at Zhu Bai: "Could it be that the twelfth uncle is as enlightened as the seventh uncle and wants to become a monk?" Why don't you ask Uncle Seven what he does? ”
Zhu Bai shook his head: "I don't have one." I just thought of Brother Seven. ”
Yun Xi didn't want his thinking to be messed up again, so he immediately talked to Zhu Bai about Taoism, took out the book "Standard Missionary Doctrine" compiled by the 'Missionary Society', handed it to Zhu Bai and said, "Uncle Twelve took a look at this, what do you think they have written?" ”
"This," Zhu Bai looked at the text on the cover after getting the book and was stunned for a moment before opening it.
He quickly browsed through it and said to Yun Xi, "Your Majesty, what are you doing with this?" ”
"As the name suggests, it is to facilitate the mission, to facilitate the missionary to the savages in the Northeast. Those savages didn't even know Chinese characters, they couldn't speak Chinese clearly, and they couldn't understand the teachings that were too complicated, so I ordered someone to write this book. What do you think? ”
This is blasphemy! Zhu Bai thought in his heart. Of course, he knew that Yunxi had sent people to spread Taoism in the Northeast, and he was extremely happy at that time; But now that I have seen the "Standard Missionary Doctrine", I immediately feel that such a distorted Taoism might as well not be preached.
Although Zhu Bai's words were not spoken, Yun Xi already knew through his expression that he didn't like this universal doctrine, and secretly said a pity in his heart.
But since he had called Zhu Bai to the capital, and Zhu Bai really believed in Taoism, he could not modify the plan.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "Does Zhu Bai want Taoism to flourish?" ”
"Nature is hopeful, and it must flourish more than Buddhism." Zhu Bai said.
"In that case, is Zhu Bai willing to serve a mission?" Yun Xi asked again.
"Of course I do. However, it should be the real Taoism, not such a somewhat distorted Taoism. Zhu Bai said.
"Okay, is the Twelfth Uncle willing to go to Yongfan to preach in person?" Yoon-hee asked.
"Your Majesty wants to seal the ministers further north of the Yongfan?" Zhu Bai asked.
"Far from it. Yongfan is already extremely cold, and even if there are people in the further north, how many people can there be? What good is it for me to send Ju Bai to guard such a place? Yun Xi said.
Yun Xi's sentence was not said from the perspective of family affection, but from the perspective of interests, which was easier to convince, so Zhu Bai thought about it and accepted Yun Xi's statement.
"But what did Yunxi send me to Yongfan to do, didn't he adapt to the environment there in advance?" Zhu Bai wondered in his heart.
"Is Zhu Bai willing to go to Yongfan to preach in person?" Yun Xi asked again.
Although Zhu Bai didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Yun Xi's gourd, he thought that Yun Xi couldn't go back on his word, nodded and said, "I do." ”
Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhu Bai: "The climate of Yongfan is cold, and Jiudun (Zhu Bai's eldest son) may not be able to adapt to it, so he doesn't have to go with him; It just so happens that Jiudun is also seven years old this year, and it's time to enter the Royal Academy, so stay in the capital. ”
Of course, Zhu Bai had no room to shirk, so he could only agree.
Yun Xi said a few more words to him and told him to step down.
When Zhu Bai left the room, Yun Xi said to himself: "Such a bold man, so persistent in the teachings of Taoism, are all real Taoists like this?" ”
"No, the people in Jinan now are also real Taoists, and the Taoism is even more profound than Zhu Bai, why not like him? It seems to be for personal reasons. ”
"Send him to Yongfan for a year, and hopefully when I summon him again this time next year, he will no longer be like this."
"Jiudun must not become like this, you have to educate well."
After that, Yun Xi shouted loudly: "Wang Xi! ”
"The minions are here." Wang Xi immediately appeared and said.
"Send someone to tell Fang Mingqian that there is no need to go to sea to explore this year, let him and the soldiers of the fleet rest for a year."
"But it's not good to let them be completely idle for a year," Yun Xi said, "At the same time, tell Fang Mingqian that he will be in charge of escorting Zhu Mengjiong to the post of chief soldier in Yokohama." Yun Xi considered the usefulness of Yokohama in the future, and felt that it would be better to familiarize Fang Mingqian and Zhu Mengjiong with it.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Xi saw that Yunxi had no other instructions, so he bowed down and retreated to find someone to pass on the message.
……
……
After a few days, Xiyao was calm and recuperated in Kunning Palace, and Xiyi still lived in Kunning Palace to handle palace affairs, take care of her sister, and take care of Wen Yin.
In Xiyao's postpartum cultivation method, Yunxi once again had a fierce conflict with others. When Xi Yao gave birth to her first child, Zhu Yuanzhang was still in power, when she gave birth to her second child, just in time for Zhu Yuanzhang to die, and Xi Yi was bleeding heavily when she gave birth to Wenqi, all of which were special circumstances Yun Xi did not interfere much with postpartum care, and the other concubines Yun Xi did not care enough, and finally this time the conflict broke out.
Yun Xi has always believed that women need to cultivate after giving birth, but there are many problems in the traditional Chinese 'confinement' method, and it must be changed; Even if he is an emperor, he will not always obey the yang and the yin.
Yun Xi had to come to Xi Yao's dormitory every day to watch them open the gaps in the doors and windows for ventilation, personally help Xi Yao walk around the room every day, personally watch the palace maids wipe Xi Yao's body to keep it clean, and expelled a few disobedient palace maids out of the palace, so that it was better.
Xi Yao's mother was very skeptical, but Xi Yao felt that Yun Xi would not harm her, and Yun Xi proposed that the method of blood transfusion should also know a little about medicine, so she accepted Yun Xi's approach.
In this way, it is another year of the Lantern Festival.
