A palace is still a palace, no matter what happens, it is still a palace.
When the sun falls on the golden glazed tiles, it is still so scary that people dare not look directly at it.
Zhu Yunxi played a set of military boxing in the garden of Fengtian Temple. After exercising his muscles and bones, he took a handkerchief from the eunuch standing next to him and wiped the sweat on his face.
Under the sun, beside the red palace wall and in the garden with blooming flowers, the young man's face was full of heroism.
"Grandpa, are you up?" Zhu Yunxi threw the towel over and asked.
The eunuch bowed and took it, "In response to your highness, the old emperor got up early and was reviewing the memorial in the palace!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded. The day before yesterday, the palace lost many people and gained many new people. His former personal eunuch Wang Ba Shai was recovering from his injuries, and now this one was the old man's new reward.
"That's right!" Zhu Yunxi stopped at the entrance of the garden, turned around and asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Pu Wuyong!" the eunuch said with a humble smile.
"Are you also from Korea?" Zhu Yunxi looked at it a few times, "The accent doesn't sound like it!"
"This slave is the god-grandson of Eunuch Pu, so his surname is Pu!"
"Pu Wuyong?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "One of you is useless, and the other is useless. Haha, the bottom is gone, of course you are useless! Who named you two, you are really talented!"
Pu Wuyong didn't know how to reply, so he could only laugh.
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, talking to an official.
What happened the day before yesterday was also a blow to the old man. Zhu Yunxi looked at his profile but didn't find anything strange.
"Grandpa, you got up so early!" Zhu Yunxi walked over and said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, and the official quickly saluted, "My lord, Hu Guang, the doctor of Zongzheng Mansion, has met His Highness the King of Wu!"
Zongzheng Mansion is an organization responsible for serving the sons and grandsons of the Zhu family. It has always been thankless and easy to fall into trouble.
"Get back on your feet!" Zhu Yunxi said gently.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of paper from the imperial desk and handed it over, "Grandson, take a look!"
"One thousand pieces each of spring, summer, autumn and winter cloth, eight hundred catties of gold, one thousand six hundred catties of silver, six hundred catties of white jade. Two boxes each of pearls, agates and precious stones. Five hundred pieces each of Sichuan brocade and Hangzhou silk, and three hundred pieces of ivory and tortoiseshell.In addition, twelve sets of large and small porcelain pieces were made for the office. Three boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and 286 pieces of gold, silver and bronze. "
"Eight eunuchs, sixteen palace maids, and thirty-two Jinyi captains."
"Enrich the East Palace of King Wu. If there are any deficiencies, the Zong Zhengfu will make up for them one by one according to the old rules of the prince immediately..."
After finishing reading, Zhu Yunxi asked doubtfully, "Grandpa Huang, is this? For your grandson?" As he said this, he laughed, "Are you trying to empty the treasury?"
"You are the King of Wu, and the etiquette cannot be discarded. It turns out that we thought that your fiefdom is in Hangzhou, which is the richest place in the world. There is no need to arrange anything for you in the palace." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked the official to go down, and then continued. , "But you don't need a fief now, but you still have to have the things you should have in the palace."

In feudal society, these are all etiquette, etiquette is etiquette, represents the etiquette of the class, and also represents the authority of the imperial power.
As the King of Wu of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's direct grandson, he could rely on etiquette for all living expenses. You can’t overstep, but you can’t lack what you should have.
If it's missing, it's a Ming Dynasty joke.
"Grandpa, I don't lack these!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Besides, your grandson is living with me now, so where can I get so many treasures in the East Palace? I don't need them!
Besides, Jingren Palace was my father’s original residence, and there was everything in it. "
Zhu Yuanzhang once passed a decree that the palace where the prince originally lived became Zhu Yunxi's bedroom. According to etiquette, even if he doesn't live in it. Also seal up the original items and replace them with new ones.
"It's good that you have such a heart!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted the stool next to him, asked Zhu Yunxi to sit down, and then said with a smile, "But these are the rules passed down from past dynasties, and they cannot be abolished in our Zhu family."
After saying that, the old emperor smiled again and said, "Why do we need to rely on scholars to govern the country? Because they know etiquette, etiquette is the outline of the world, and the outline must not be messed up!"
"You said before that the world must be governed by principles!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Grandpa, a few days ago you said that there was not enough money for disaster relief in Jiangxi. From my grandson's perspective, it is better..."
"It's all stuff in the warehouse, there's no money from the user department!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.
The Ming Dynasty replaced Dayuan and conquered Dadu, which Dayuan had been running for hundreds of years. Countless rare treasures from all over the world in the palace fell into the hands of the Zhu family. Although the Ming Dynasty's treasury was a little thin, there were a lot of good things in the emperor's private treasury.
It is a pity that these treasures brought from the Liao and Song Dynasties to the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, as well as those brought by the Mongolian cavalry across the world, all bear the royal mark and are marked in the palace files and cannot be sold casually.
Even if it is sold, no one in the world would dare to buy it. The so-called etiquette is to make people behave and behave themselves. It is not something of your status. If you use it, it is a crime.
"My grandson just thinks there are too many!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the piece of paper again, "Wow, so many treasures!"
"You are now the King of Wu. From now on, when you meet with ministers and foreign officials, you will always be rewarded during festivals and festivals." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "We can't let you be empty-handed and unable to take out anything!"
The salary of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was extremely low, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still very generous to central officials and young talents. Officials he liked always received rewards from the palace.
Moreover, Zhu Yunxi got older and came to the front of the stage. It was the right thing to reward foreign officials and relatives.
"In this way, my grandson will thank Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi saluted and smiled, "My grandson will also be a rich man in the future!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "No matter how rich you are, you have nowhere to spend it!"
What this means is that because of Zhu Yunxi's status, the most useless thing in the world to him and the easiest thing to come by is money.
The two men were smiling and talking when Pu Bucheng came in from outside, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, people are here!"
"Call in!" With that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Yunxi and said, "Dasun, we have chosen a Ji Shan Dian officer for you." (Ji Shan, an official position equivalent to a secretary next to the prince in the Ming Dynasty. A person's name appeared in the previous article. Also called Ji Shan, that’s a person’s name.)
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with an elegant face, medium height and slight skinny came in.
"My lord, Xie Jin is here to see His Majesty."
Then, he kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi and said, "My lord, see His Highness the King of Wu!"
"Xie Jin?" Zhu Yunxi thought about it and smiled, "Are you Xie Jin from Jiangxi?"
Jie Jin was slightly surprised, "Your Highness, do you recognize me?"
How could Zhu Yunxi not recognize this famous person in history? Not only did he recognize him, but he also knew that this man died miserably in the end.
"Not only do I recognize you, I also know that you are a child prodigy!"
Xie Jin was born in a traditional scholar's family in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he took part in the provincial examination and passed Xie Yuan. At the age of eighteen, he took part in the national examination, and became Jinshi in the same subject with his elder brother Xie Lun and brother-in-law Huang Jinhua, which became a legend for a while.
After becoming a Jinshi, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Xie Jin as a Shujishi and entered the Hanlin Academy. For scholars, this is the most noble official position in the world.
In the Ming Empire, to be a high-ranking official, you must be a Jinshi. If you enter the Hanlin Academy, you will be a candidate for the six cabinet ministers. It just takes some time to hone.
Logically speaking, such an official career should be smooth sailing.
But not only was Jie Jin's official career unsatisfactory, but he was also not favored by Emperor Jianwen. Later, he took refuge with Zhu Di and rose to great heights, becoming an important minister.
But luck and misfortune depended on each other, and the time of his triumph coincided with his death.
During the Yongle period, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, understood Zhu Di's intentions. After getting Xie Jin drunk, he stuffed him into a snowdrift and froze to death.
