Chapter 609: The Emperor's Northern Tour

A few days after the examination, there is the palace examination, and after the palace examination, there is the gold list transmission, and this process is completed in one go without delay.

When the palace test was released, as expected, because of the fraud turmoil, Jiangxi Juzi, who had been the leader in previous years, and Zhejiang Juzi, which followed closely behind, were greatly affected this time. In addition to a Jiangxi lifter named Chen Xun who bravely won the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, and Chuanlu are all included in Fujian Juzi, accounting for more than half of the top 36, which can be said to be a big bargain.

However, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are big provinces in the imperial examination after all, although they have been pinched by dozens of top lifters, there are still more than 20 people each, but the ranking is relatively low. Among them, among the Zhejiang lifters, the highest ranking is Wang Xian's uncle Lin Rongxing, who ranks 27th in the second class. Li Yu also won a top three fellow jinshi, but he was already overjoyed...... He has a good idea of his level, if he doesn't have that kind of thing, with his own level, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get lucky.

In any case, it's good to win, and after the first, it is the glory of the new science and technology scholars, wearing red to parade the streets, going to Qionglin banquet, and setting up a monument in Guozijian...... has earned the attention of the people, and has also entered the spring boudoir dream of many big girls and little daughters-in-law. It's really a spring breeze and horseshoe disease, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day!

However, this excitement is no longer the center of attention of the Ming Dynasty, and even this national capital is no longer the center, because the Ming Dynasty Supreme Yongle Emperor made a northern tour, and the next day after the palace test, he set off to the north.

It is not the first time that Emperor Yongle has toured the north, in fact, since his ascension, especially in recent years, Zhu Di has spent more time in Beijing than in Beijing. Although there were more than 1,000 civil and military personnel, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and thousands of large and small ships, under the command of the Sixth Division, all aspects were in good order and not chaotic.

The so-called line in the six departments is an institution set up for the emperor's northern tour, where the emperor is, where is the line. Zhu Di will be away from Beijing for a year and a half at the shortest, so naturally he can't ignore national affairs for such a long time, let alone throw away his authority for so long. In the sixth year of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered the Ministry of Rites to cast 14 seals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Sixth Department, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Dali Temple, and the Jinyi Weifan, and added the word "Xing In";

Only when the emperor was in Beijing, these institutions did not exist, and only as soon as the emperor went out to patrol, the thirty institutions of the inner and outer courts began to operate by transferring officials from various yamen in the capital. For example, this time the emperor visited Beijing, and Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, was the secretary of the household department, and he was also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Imperial Court. The rest of the internal and external yamen also had their own appointments, all of them were shrewd and capable people, helping the emperor to still control state affairs after leaving Beijing.

After these trips went on tour with the emperor in the yamen, except for the decision-making power of the capital, the other yamen continued to operate as usual, and handled state affairs as usual under the leadership of the crown prince. In fact, after the assassination of the King of Han, the emperor ordered someone to call the prince to Beiyuan, and allowed him to visit the King of Han, and the ban order has been lifted, but the prince is cautious and still does not dare to go out. This time, the emperor decreed that the crown prince would supervise the country during the northern tour, which was an official edict to the world, the prince was safe and sound, and the father and son were reconciled as before......

According to the previous practice, the King of Han and the King of Zhao were both going to accompany the northern tour, but this time the King of Han was assassinated, Zhu Di left him in the capital to recuperate from his injuries, and only took the King of Zhao to the north. There were also Cheng Guogong, Ningyang Hou, Yangwu Hou and other nobles, as well as Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi, Lu Zhen, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and other civil ministers, almost all of whom were important ministers.

Ji Gang, Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi and other civil and military cadres stayed in Beijing to assist the prince, and Wang Xian, the envoy of Beizhen Fusi, although his power was not small, was not qualified to be arranged by the emperor alone, since he was not allowed to accompany him in the will, he naturally stayed in the capital.

On the fifteenth day, Wang Xian sent away the emperor's mighty northern tour team with the crown prince, and returned to the capital after almost dark. As soon as the emperor left, the capital immediately became less depressed, and Wang Xian had already ordered someone to roll up the curtain when he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was on his way back...... Although it was just a small movement, it revealed the prince's relieved mood, you must know that when he went out of the city, Zhu Gaochi's chariot was lowered and covered tightly.

But that's all, the prince didn't rush to talk to the courtiers, after all, his father had just left, and he couldn't be in a hurry if he wanted to talk to someone. When he returned to the capital, Zhu Gaochi instructed the ministers left behind to be conscientious and not to slack off, and after a few words of gentle exhortation, he told the ministers to disperse.

After the gang broke up, Wang Xian did not return to the yamen, but hurried home, today his brother-in-law after the jinshi, the head back to the house as a guest, how can he, who is a brother-in-law, be absent?

The group hurriedly returned home, and the porter, dressed in a green coat and a small hat, saw that the second master had returned, hurriedly opened the main door, stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse, and led his mount into the sedan hall. In the sedan hall, someone had already prepared a stool and asked Wang Xian to step on the horse. Look at the six slaves in the sedan hall, standing there with their hands tied up in the rules, and they will show the atmosphere of some famous families.

In other words, the Wang family does not need to be compared with when they were in Hangzhou, but compared with when they first entered Beijing, they are already two families. When I first came to Beijing, the Wang family was just developed, although the family was rich, but it was full of nouveau riche atmosphere, and the servants who came from Hangzhou in the house relied on Wang Xian's old lady, who liked to be lively and informal, and there was also a Hou family who always wanted to take advantage of the public, and as a result, people were free and unruly, stealing chickens and dogs, and even servants messing around. Although Lin Qing'er can't see it, her mother-in-law has the final say on everything in the family, and she can't talk much, so she can only take care of the people in her yard.

Later, there were still a few embarrassing big things, and Aunt Wang couldn't see it herself, so she had the heart to rectify it, but people's hearts were already scattered, and it would be difficult to put it away again. Aunt Wang had no choice but to ask for help from her daughter, but Yinling was a sensible person, and said to the old lady, what did you have to give my second brother to marry the sister-in-law of the Lin family? Isn't it that she is knowledgeable first, and secondly, she has been a housekeeper, and she is a good hand at managing the family? How can you marry your daughter-in-law into the family, and you don't know how to use it?

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, although she thought it was not bad at the beginning, but when her daughter-in-law came into the house, her mind changed subtly, in short, it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that made her always want to suppress Lin Qing'er, for fear that she would be suppressed by her daughter-in-law. Although the old lady was polite to Lin Qing'er, she always refused to let her take care of any things in the family on the grounds that she was weak and needed to be well recuperated and passed on to the next generation. When she couldn't even manage it, she would rather let the Hou family take care of it than let the Lin family interfere, but as a result, the Hou family's uneasy one, Guang Zhilu Dao collected money in his room, making the family more and more unseemly.

After thinking about it, Aunt Wang finally admitted that she was not the material for such a large family, and the eldest daughter-in-law was even more insufficient, so she still had to let the second daughter-in-law take care of it...... After listening to her mother-in-law's arrangement, Lin Qing'er was not hypocritical, and immediately took the order to start tidying up the housework. In fact, these days, she has been watching coldly, and she has long seen through the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the family, and she has to wait for the old lady to hand over the power. She first closed the door with her parents-in-law and eldest brother and sister-in-law, and set down the family rules one by one, and this discussion lasted for two whole days......

In fact, the family rules were all drawn up by Lin Qing'er a long time ago, and it is said that it will not take so long. The main reason is that Hou feels that in this way, he will not be able to take advantage of the public school, and he will not be able to arrange people at will. What's more, as a sister-in-law, she has to be controlled by the concubine everywhere, so she always thinks of ways to instigate the second elder and fight with the Lin family.

Fortunately, Father Wang is a sensible person, and finally couldn't help but scold: "Eldest daughter-in-law, do you still know how to do things?" You are so capable, how can the housekeeper manage the mess, and the expenses of tens of thousands of taels of silver can not be reconciled? It's fun enough that I didn't let you fill this hole! Now the second daughter-in-law is here to clean up the mess for you, and she is still chattering here.

If you talk nonsense, get out of here! ”

Seeing that his father-in-law was really angry, the Hou family didn't dare to say anything more, and the Wang family rules were difficult to come out.

Set the rules, and with the support of her in-laws, Lin Qing'er naturally had the confidence, and the next day, she gathered the people in the family together, moved out the dirty things they had done in the past, one by one, and drove away half of the subordinates on the spot. For a while, the god of the house cried wolf, which really frightened a large group of people.

Lin Qing'er also made clear the family rules, ordering every subordinate to recite them, and if they can't memorize it within ten days, they will be kicked out of the house and will not be hired, and they will be regularly spot-checked in the future. The same is true for the newly recruited subordinates. The purpose of memorizing the house rules is to abide by the rules, and those who violate the house rules will be punished for the lighter ones and the heavier ones will be beaten on the board, and they will never be hired after the board.

In fact, Lin Qing'er originally wanted to sign a death contract with his subordinates, which is better to manage, has high loyalty, and can have a family and children in the future, and those famous families use this way. But this old lady insisted on disagreeing, she always felt that her son's official position was too easy, maybe one day it would return to its original form, and the big family of the scholar family raised slaves, and the cost was too high, in case something happened in the future, it would be a big trouble to smash it in your hands.

Therefore, most of the servants of the Wang family still signed a ten-year and five-year living contract, but under Lin Qing'er's heavy code, the Wang family still showed some well-organized rules, at least a hundred times stronger than the previous chaotic appearance. After Wang Xian became the commander of the Fusi of Shangbei Town, the people in the house were even more solemn, lest they would make the second lady unhappy and complain to the terrible spy leader of the second master......

However, they were obviously too worried, because Wang Xian was busy with official business, Lin Qing'er never bothered him with trivial matters at home, and he digested everything by himself. I only know that Lu Dao is becoming more and more popular......
