Chapter 74: Ending (1)

When I returned to the Forbidden City, I was also decorated with lights and joy.

Since the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year, after worshiping the kitchen, the ministers who were in the palace were welcomed by the officials who were guarding the gourds and python robes and garments. The imperial kitchen steamed snacks and steamed pork were used to reward court officials.

When people celebrate the New Year, they pay attention to having a wealth of food and clothing. No matter how hard they are, they must behave in a good manner. During the New Year in the palace, they must have the atmosphere of the heavenly family and demonstrate the power of heaven.

Because during the Chinese New Year, not only the two of them but also the Zhu family's own business, royal relatives, meritorious ministers, and even envoys from vassal states would be rewarded.

However, the old man was very serious about the reward. Not to mention the money and red envelopes, just entertaining the ministers is five dishes and one soup, and a cup of wine.

When Empress Ma was there, she advised the old man that it was so shabby that it would be a shame that it would be despicable for the family.

The old man replied, "Only the king and the ministers can be rich in their lives when they are poor!"

Zhu Yunyu was dressed in regular clothes. As soon as he walked behind Fengtian Palace, in front of the side hall where the old man lived, he listened to the old man's voice from afar.

Higher east, higher!

As we approached, it turned out that Park Bushen was taking a few young eunuchs and pasting Spring Festival couplets under the supervision of the old man and several grand senators.

When thousands of households are in the sun, they always replace the old charms with new peaches, which is about Spring Festival couplets.

The old man was wearing a brand new cotton robe and new shoes, and his hands were wrapped in his sleeves. A group of eunuchs wandered around under the command of the old man, fearing that it would not make the old man angry.

A group of ministers, including Liu Sanwu, Fu Youwen, Zhan Hui, Fang Xiaoru, etc., were watching with smiles.

Throughout the dynasties, every Chinese New Year was sealed for holidays one week in advance, but when it came to the old man, he only had one day on New Year's Eve and he had to attend court on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Although the yamen were a little relaxed during the Chinese New Year, he worked as usual.

When he came to court at the end of the year, he had asked about the number of corrupt people to make a case for promotion and demotion. If he did not take corruption, he would be found out and he would be punished with a serious crime.

I came to pay homage to the end of the year to investigate the number of people who were wronged and corrupt, and used this as a basis to remove or demote officials. If I encounter corruption and are not punished, and if I find out who is letting him go, I will be severely punished.

The old man not only needs to work during the New Year, but also needs to fight corruption!

Grandpa Emperor, grandson is back! Zhu Yunyu saluted and said with a smile.

All the ministers have seen the courtesy, and I have met Your Highness!

Look at this couple! The old man smiled at Zhu Yunxi and said, "The east door was written by Liu Sanwu, and the west door was written by Fang Xiaoru. If we don't know a few big words, we can't tell at least. Please show it!"

The hall is a complete building community. In addition to the main hall, there are many side halls around it.

On the door frame to the east, five clouds welcome the dawn sun and blessings welcome the New Year.

The couplets in the palace must mean extraordinaryness. They are written in neat large characters, dignified and solemn.

On the door frame to the west, the world is full of three yangs, and the universe is full of spring.

Zhu Yunxiu thought to himself that the west side was better than the east side, and the west side had a more powerful atmosphere and a more magnificent atmosphere. However, he could only say it in his heart, saying that Liu Sanwu was not good-looking in terms of face.

The knowledge of the two bachelors is naturally excellent! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, both are good, both are good!

Dasun, the main entrance of our bedroom has not been posted yet? The bachelors all praise you for your good study, so please write a copy for us!

Looking at the old man's expectant gaze, Zhu Yunxiu felt a little embarrassed. This really stumped him. Although he was still hard at studying, literature requires talent.

Under the exploratory gaze of the old man and his ministers, Zhu Yunqiu thought for a while. What was it all, ordinary sentences like spring and blessings in the world.

Have it!

Zhu Yunxiu pretended to be meditating, walked a few steps forward on the ground, and spoke slowly. The phoenix danced in the sky, the moon was bright and the wind was bright and the spring of the morning!

OK! After Zhu Yunyu finished speaking, the Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui shook his head and said, Your Majesty, His Highness the Grand Prince, this couplet has a magnificent momentum and great meaning. The Kirin and Phoenix in the first couplet are both divine beasts, and only in the prosperous era can appear. The bright moon and gentle wind in the second couplet show that our Ming Dynasty is in good weather and prosperity, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.

As he said that, he smiled again. I have been studying for decades, and I have never heard of such a couplet. What is even more rare is that although Your Highness is young, he has a heart of worrying about the country and the people. The state has a crown prince, such as Your Majesty’s blessing, the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, the blessing of all people, and the blessing of me!

Haha! The old man smiled and said to Liu Sanwu and others, is that true? You all tell me! Don’t just praise him!

Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Secretariat, said, "Your Majesty, what Zhanbutang said is very much. Your Highness's couplet is not only full of charm, but also rare is that it has the aura of an emperor. It is not a heroic ruler of a generation, so it cannot be made!

Fang Xiaoru's stern face also smiled and said, "It's great! He is heroic and majestic, and can be regarded as a famous saying for all ages!

Seeing that the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy praised them all the time, the old man's face even more smiling, and his beard shook, all of which were taught well! You all have all the achievements!

Zhu Yunxiu felt relieved. Fortunately, he had watched many TV series before, so he happened to use it.

Liu Sanwu is right, this couplet has the spirit of an emperor.

It’s strange if you don’t have the aura of an emperor!

(Kangxi's imperial pen, couplets from the Changchun Palace of the Forbidden City. In many shoddy Qing Palace dramas, the door of the Jurengfei Palace is also placed at the door of the palace, which is outrageous.)

However, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to use the couplet of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and post it to my Ming Dynasty’s bedroom? Zhu Yunsheng said in his heart.

What if he doesn’t matter, take the Ming Dynasty and leave the Qing Dynasty with no way out!

At this time, the Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui said again, Your Majesty, His Highness, the talented and learned ministers can't wait for the couplets in Huagai Hall, please look at...

Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxiu quickly interrupted. Have you seen the tribute presented by Goryeo? As he said that, he glanced at Zhan Hui with reproach.

This old guy looks pretty good at flattering, but why is he so frowning at this time? There is only a little ink in his mind. Wouldn’t he behave like a fool if he continues to write it on?

Poor Zhan Huiben wanted to flatter him, but he didn't want to slap the horse's leg. He suddenly became frightened and repeatedly wondered why the reproachful look of the crown prince came.

What do we think of that? They are all things that are not suitable for food or drink! The old man looked at the side, and there was a Hanlin scholar with good calligraphy writing and splashing ink, writing the couplet that Zhu Yunyu had just mentioned, and said casually.

Zhu Yunxiu approached and said with a smile, "My grandson saw it yesterday. The twenty eastern beads sent by Goryeo were crystal clear and better than those in our palace!"

Oh! The old man still looked at the couplet and said lightly, if you like it, take it to the palace! As he said that, he frowned and said to the Hanlin scholar who wrote the couplet, "You can't make your word, our grandson's couplet has a grand atmosphere and an emperor's spirit. Look at your words, you're so thin that you're so thin, can you write big words?"

Poor that Hanlin Bachelor, who has a very handsome skinny gold body, is so inconsistent in the old man's mouth.

What’s even more pitiful is Goryeo. Their tributes they put in great painstakingly were not as good as Zhu Yunxiu’s couplets in the old man’s heart.

Although the old man did not pursue the obstruction of Goryeo's land on the border, he was very harsh on Goryeo. Every year, Spring Festival, Zhu Yun's birthday, Mid-Autumn Festival and other major festivals, Goryeo must send envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and must do his best to do his best to be perfect.

Not only Goryeo, but also around Annan, Siam, and even Ryukyu all sent envoys to pay tribute to the Spring Festival.

Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxiu was next to the old man and the officials of the Honglu Temple reported how to return gifts to the vassal states such as Goryeo!

The old man withdrew his gaze and thought about it. He just gave some cotton cloth or wine something worthless! As he said that, he smiled at the ministers. It was not that we were stingy. When we thought of taking things from the people of the Ming Dynasty and making those small countries, we felt uncomfortable!

The ministers smiled bitterly, and no one dared to say more.

The old man has such a personality. In his opinion, he should be punished by the fact that he should give me the country and the country's wealth in the Celestial Empire. He would be easily scolded. In his opinion, you should give me the right amount, and you must offer the best in order to show sincerity. But on the other hand, I will give you the meaning. Even if I give you a needle, you have to go home to offer it.
