After a while (about 3 pm), Du Xian left the greenhouse hall, and Xue Chongxun continued to review the memorials.
He has lived in the Daming Palace for several months, and he has hardly left the palace gate except for a trip to Wugong County. Now he finally understands why some emperors in the previous dynasty claimed to be staying at home. It turns out that they are indeed otaku.
Xue Chongxun is not very interested in entertainment activities such as singing, dancing and banquets, and he doesn’t have much enthusiasm for Cuju chess skills. The only fun he has every day except for office work is to play with women.
Fortunately, there were tens of thousands of beauties in the Daming Palace, but he was quite satisfied.
After staying in the greenhouse for a while, he remembered something and asked someone to go and pass on the eunuch Yang Sixu to speak.
The person who went to report the news was about to go out, but he changed his mind and said: Let Yang Sixu go to the south bank of Taiyechi to find me.
A few steps north from the Greenhouse Hall is Taiye Pool. Can you walk around with mountains and water?
It's good to go out for a walk.
Seeing that Xue Chongxun was about to leave, Bai Qimei hurriedly asked: There are still so many memorials, so don’t you need to criticize Xue Lang when he left today?
Perhaps Xue Chongxun never asked about etiquette and rules. Except for the ministers in the other dynasties, there were all random names around him. Some called His Majesty, some called the Emperor, and Bai Qimei and others, Xue Langjun and others, and Xue Chongxun didn't care, and he would not turn against him because of the minor details. Instead, he thought it would be better to be casual or he would become a lonely person.
You stay and help me see. Except for the urgent reporting of border military forces, appointment and removal of officials, taxes and finance, you can do everything else.Xue Chongxun said.
Bai Qimei laughed and said: This is a memorial, so can I become the emperor?
The eunuch and palace maid on duty in the Greenhouse Hall suddenly changed her face slightly. Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun didn't care about this joke, and didn't even scold her. He smiled and said: "Yes, you can be the emperor here for a while."
Of course he wouldn't bother with Bai Qimei. A girl like her doesn't even know who her parents are, and she has no foundation. Not to mention that she is just a joke, even if she is really ambitious, she has no possibility of having power.
But Bai Qimei dared to make trouble, but the others were still respectfully afraid of being rash. In everyone's eyes, Xue Chongxun should still be a person with an unpredictable mood. Just like last time, a censor was excited and offended him a little, so he asked someone to drag him out for disrespect and beat him half to death. Now he probably doesn't have the ability to keep him at home.
Xue Chongxun did not take the bus, but walked to the shore of Taiye Pool with several followers.
This place should be regarded as the best scenery in the Daming Palace. The fairy island towers are faintly visible in the mist of the mist on the lake, and the water pavilions along the coast are very beautiful.
Xue Chongxun waited for Yang Sixu to come to see him. Yang Sixu was not only a errand in the palace as an official of the provincial eunuch, but also a general position for military merits. Recently, he was in charge of the Mingguang Army's errands in making gunpowder and cannons, so he was not very busy with the palace. If he wanted to see him, he had to find someone to call him temporarily.
Taiye Pond is divided into two ponds. The west pond where Xue Chongxun is wandering covers an area of more than 200 acres. With the government courtyards and stone paths along the coast, it looks like a city, not exactly like a city, it is simply a paradise.
Because the members of life here are simple, just like a monotonous society, the most common ones are young women.
The wealth of hundreds of states in the world supports this place, like a greenhouse without wind and rain...
Although it is also full of open and secret struggles, it is like a big family on the surface.
No matter how you fight below, at least Xue Chongxun, who is the person in power, has a daily life here as if he is in Xiaoyao Palace.
No wonder the emperors tend to lose their enterprising spirit when the world is peaceful, because if they want to live a life, the emperor is indeed like a flower in a greenhouse in the palace. There is neither competition for women nor material worries: obviously most of the pressure on the world is due to economic and material matter, and there is very few problems that cannot be solved.
Xue Chongxun silently saw the scenery, and Yang Sixu came. He trotted over. He ran over and ignored the dust on the stone path and fell directly on the road to pay his respects.
Now in Xue Chongxun's eyes, Yang Sixu is one of the most loyal eunuchs, and Yu Liben is also considered one, but Yu Liben has a very close relationship with Princess Taiping.
Although Princess Taiping and Xue Chongxun are a mother-son relationship, due to certain conflicts in power, people who please both sides are naturally not as good as eunuchs like Yang Sixu who only defect to him in the eyes of Xue Chongxun.
Xue Chongxun asked Yang Sixu to be calm and asked directly: How is the progress of artillery making in Wugong County?
Report to Your Majesty, four unexploded cannons have been made, and the medicine and shells are still being tested.
Yang Sixu had long been used to Xue Chongxun's straightforward way of speaking, and he seemed to be prepared. He guessed that Xue Chongxun might ask about this matter, so he immediately took out a document, and all the materials consumed by trial-making medicine and artillery over the past few months were all accounted for. The rewards for officials, soldiers and craftsmen to achieve their respective goals. The Ming Guangjun Academy's Office also kept its promise and fulfilled it. The amount of money and grain paid is recorded in the book. Please check it out.
Xue Chongxun took it and looked it casually. This thing was a bit like project cost, account name, etc., most of it was data, and it was made of Chinese characters and numbers, so it didn't look very clear.
Although Xue Chongxun did not have the mentality of worshipping foreign countries in his previous life, he had to think that in terms of data, Arabic numerals and letter formulas really look concise.
Perhaps his thoughts are not purely Han-century, but pragmatism without much faith.
He didn't plan to check the accounts in person. He looked up at Yang Sixu and saw that Yang Sixu looked as usual, and he believed that the moisture in it would not be too great.
Yang Sixu is black and thin, not tall, and is much worse in image than the eunuchs and palace maids who are attending Xue Chongxun. The palace ladies who follow him are all white and tender in the greenhouse.
However, Yang Sixu's status in the palace is obviously much higher than that of them, and this is the case for people not to look good.
Xue Chongxun said: The rewards promised to soldiers and craftsmen must be fulfilled according to the rules. If the work is better than expected, you will have to increase profits and gains. This money cannot be saved, especially the craftsmen sent by the Military Equipment Bureau. Don’t treat them unfairly.
yes.Yang Sixu hurriedly responded.
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and said: Order to have one of the Ming Guang Army to transport four cannons to Hedong.
After hearing this, Yang Sixu was slightly surprised. He just created it and sent it so far without estimating the actual combat value. What should I do when I sent it to Hedong?
He could easily think of the land of Youzhou where there was suspicion of rebellion. Hedong is not far from Youzhou. He has guessed that the emperor might use martial arts to Youzhou, and of course he could also try out the use of cannons on the battlefield.
Among the generals who have had experience in using firearms, Yang Sixu calculated one, and Du Xian...
In just a moment, Yang Sixu had already guessed many things in his stomach.
But he didn't say much, but bowed and said: I immediately sent someone to the Mingguang Military Camp in Wugong County to pass the order.
Seeing Yang Sixu's thoughtful look, Xue Chongxun asked: Is there any difficulty? Is the cannon too heavy, and is the road too far?
Yang Sixu hurriedly said: No, there is a flat post road from Guanzhong to Hedong, and there is always a way to carry it over.
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: It is normal for the following to complain to the above. Don’t tell the following people that the central decision is inappropriate.
Yang Sixu immediately bent down and bowed and said, "I must never dare to discuss the holy will."
At this moment, the eunuch Yu Liben also came. When he approached, he bent down and bowed to Xue Chongxun to hold a tribute.
Yu Liben did not kneel down on the road. His approach was the most common. Since the Tang Dynasty, people in the court and the opposition did not kneel down at any time. There was no need to kneel down to the emperor when they met every day. Yang Sixu was obviously a little too respectful. Maybe he had always been a eunuch. Xue Chongxun had worked with Li Longji and his son before he came to power. At this time, he was a little cautious in front of the new master.
In fact, Li Longji was dead, and Xue Chongxun didn't mind these eunuchs and palace maids. The eunuchs did not have a huge network of relatives behind them like court officials and sergeants. Their background was relatively simple. Most of them came from poor families and became eunuchs and their families refused to recognize them, thinking that it would be a humiliation to their families.
Xue Chongxun asked: What's wrong with you?
Yu Liben bowed and said: I was sent by Princess Taiping to meet the emperor. I heard that you were at Taiyechi, so I rushed over.Princess Hezhong...was the lord of Wanquan County (the second daughter of Xue Shao). Because she was the emperor's sister, Your Highness believed that the title of Princess was in accordance with the etiquette system, so he changed the title of Wanquan County to Princess Hezhong.The princess is grateful to the emperor and His Highness for being kind to the emperor. She has come to Beijing to thank her for being kind. Your Highness sends me to tell you that you will go to Chengxiang Palace to have a banquet to meet the Princess in Hezhong in the evening.
Xue Chongxun wondered: Why don’t I know about Princess Feng in my sister?
Yu Liben hurriedly said: It was his Royal Highness’s order. I wanted to tell you personally, but the emperor has not gone to Chengxiang Palace for some days.There is also the county lord of the Wu family, Yonghe, who also lives in Hezhong Prefecture. When he heard that the princess went to Beijing, he also went to Beijing to visit His Highness.The second prince of the Wu family in Beijing will also go to the palace tonight to attend a banquet, but the Prince of Lijie (Xue Chongjian) cannot come to reunite in Hedong.
Obviously, Xue Chongxun saw from this incident that Princess Taiping had much more power than the ordinary so-called empress dowager. Princess Feng was just a matter of one word. Even Xue Chongxun didn't know about it before, and she only heard about it after Princess Feng entered the capital.
Princess Taiping usually grants official titles and awards titles. As long as it is not a key military and political yamen, Xue Chongxun usually doesn't care about it, and she is too lazy to say it.
Human Resources and Power are always kept in mind. This is indeed a binary pattern but maintains a certain degree of integration.
Princess Taiping did not use her opponent with the emperor, otherwise she would not have easily admitted that Xue Chongxun ascended the throne, and even earlier he would not have given him military power; Xue Chongxun could only acquiesce to such a situation, and a need and current situation in her heart made him unable to seize Princess Taiping's power.
Of course, he often doesn’t agree with Princess Taiping’s employment, and even employing people will affect some political layout, but as long as it is not too important, he can only compromise.
The entire government system is a top-down monarchy system. However, it is not just the one who actually operates monarchy, but the situation of two suns in the sky.
However, Princess Taiping and Xue Chongxun actually stabilized the status quo and there was no irreconcilable contradiction. This was obviously an artistic job that was more literary than technology.
He has lived in the Daming Palace for several months, and he has hardly left the palace gate except for a trip to Wugong County. Now he finally understands why some emperors in the previous dynasty claimed to be staying at home. It turns out that they are indeed otaku.
Xue Chongxun is not very interested in entertainment activities such as singing, dancing and banquets, and he doesn’t have much enthusiasm for Cuju chess skills. The only fun he has every day except for office work is to play with women.
