“Da Ming Zhengde Emperor New ( Find the latest chapter!
The beautiful picture depicted by Li Suide only flashed in the minds of many craftsmen and then disappeared. They felt that such a fantasy could not happen to them.
There are also people who are indignant at the moment, getting up in the middle of the night to get together, just to say such an unreliable thing, which is simply irritating.
When Li Suide finished speaking his thoughts with an excited expression, many craftsmen were already sleepy. They didn’t understand the unreliable news that Master Shang Shu didn’t know where they came from. Keep going.
“I said, Master Shang Shu, you are here in the middle of the night to talk about this? I have never seen any coal in Dalian. Can you describe to us what coal is?”
A craftsman teased with a sleepy expression.
Li Suide was immediately speechless. To be honest, he had also heard that coal was black, but he had never seen it before.
In this era, most of the fuel used in the palace was delivered by “charcoal sellers”. They used an ox cart to burn a truckload of charcoal and then sent it to the palace. The better ones were exchanged for a few taels of silver. If the palace has a bad temper The man was on duty, he put a red tent on his bull’s head and left.
The common people are also accustomed to this, they feel that they are born to work for others.
“Well, coal is a black thing, as dark as night, but, but…”
However, after a long time, Li Suide didn’t have it, but he came up with a reason. What he wanted to express was that coal could burn, but he had never seen it before, and he didn’t dare to say it easily. It’s hard to describe what he has never seen before.
The next morning.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, people were crowded.
The **** on duty got the news early that His Majesty is going to the Xishan Coal Yard today, which is a deserted place.
After Xiao Fangzi took over the position of Liu Jin, everyone seemed to be cautious. Although he was also born as a eunuch, he was much more diligent than Liu Jin, and he had no idea of usurping power for the time being. He did everything Zhu Houzhao arranged. Finish.
After arranging the carriage and horses, Xiao Fangzi carefully placed a charcoal basin under the dragon chariot and laid a layer of quilt before going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve Zhu Houzhao.
Today is not going to the morning court, Zhu Houzhao has a lot of time to do things he likes, and all arrangements between the DPRK and China are handled by the cabinet.
However, the Ming Dynasty had strict management regulations for the emperor’s departure from the palace. When Emperor Hongzhi was on the throne, he emphasized many times that whether it was the crown prince or any of the royal relatives who went out of the palace, they had to go to the cabinet to say hello, and they could only travel after completing the registration.
If the return time has passed, the palace will send someone to look for it.
But here, Zhu Houzhao, one of the things he did after he ascended the throne was to abolish the rules and regulations.
Therefore, if he wants to go out of the palace now, it is just a matter of his own thoughts. Some court ministers suggested many times to restore the original system, but they were all rejected by Zhu Houzhao.
“Little Fangzi, go and tell the Queen Mother, I have something to do all day today, so I won’t go to greet her old man. If you want her not to worry about it, just stay in the palace.”
Xiao Fangzi hurriedly informed her and ran towards the Cining Palace.
All the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works have been prepared for most of the night, and now they are dressed in ordinary people’s clothes. According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Works, they have to dress up as civilians and go to mine the Western Mountains.
When everything was ready, Zhu Houzhao led the Ministry of Industry and the Royal Forest Army with more than 300 people and set off towards Xishan.
Xishan is more than 100 miles away from the capital. It takes about four hours to arrive from the capital, and it is a mountain road when you arrive at Xishan. Generally, few people walk, so the road there is also easy to walk.
The groom drove the carriage, and the carriage slowly walked on the official road of the Forbidden City.
Inside the Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager originally planned to go to Chuxiu Palace with Zhu Houzhao to meet the newly recruited Jiangnan Embroidered Girl, but she got the news that Zhu Houzhao was leaving the palace early in the morning, which made her a little unhappy.
But there is no way out. Zhu Houzhao is now the emperor of Daming, and many things are beyond his control.
“Call Zhaoyi over for Aijia.”
Bai Xue is now raising a baby in Chuxiu Palace, and the queen mother does not let her participate in any harem affairs at all, the purpose is to make her feel at ease to give birth to a dragon seed for Zhu Houzhao.
“Hail the Queen Mother!” As soon as Bai Xue came in, she was about to kneel down for the Queen Mother.
“Get over it! Take care of your body now, and tell Ai Jia what you want to eat, and Ai Jia will satisfy you with everything.”
“Thank the Queen Mother for her grace!” Bai Xue was about to kowtow to thank her, but was rejected by the Queen Mother.
“Today, Ai’s family called you here because I wanted you to go with Ai’s family to see this group of newly recruited Jiangnan beautiful girls. If Ai’s family likes you, they will look for Zhao’er directly. What do you think? ”
“Everything is arranged by the Empress Dowager!”
Zhaoyi has a big belly now, and she has also learned from Liu Ruyue’s lesson. She has to be cautious when talking and doing things in the palace. Don’t think that she is Zhaoyi now, the master in this harem, but once she gives birth to the child, basically There’s nothing wrong with her.
It would be nice to be treated as a concubine, and to be able to retire in the harem, but if you offend the queen mother or someone a little bit, it is estimated that after giving birth to a child, there may be people who will be beaten and left in the palace.
There have been many such examples before. Don’t look at them being favored by the empress dowager now. Once they fall out of favor, they will be doomed forever.
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction and said, “Since Zhaoyi said so, I shouldn’t object to Zhao’er when I see it.”
The two took a few eunuchs and palace maids and went directly to the West Garden of Chuxiu Palace. This is the temporary residence of the beautiful women who enter the palace every year. Bai Xue also lived here.
“The Empress Dowager is here!”
“Ms. Zhaoyi is here!”
With the sound of two trumpets, there were neatly rows of young girls in various clothes kneeling inside.
These Jiangnan girls all look down-to-earth and have much better skin than the girls in the north.
“Happy Empress Dowager, Empress Zhaoyi thousand blessings!” All the beautiful girls and palace maids knelt down and salute. This is the basic etiquette that everyone must learn after entering the palace.
“Well, it’s good, everyone get up!”
When the queen mother saw these beautiful girls for the first time, there was an excited look on her face.
I haven’t seen the Queen Mother so happy for a long time.
“Empress mother, I think this batch of beautiful girls entering the palace is much better than the previous batch.”
Bai Xue is very good at talking, and now she has to speak selectively so that she can please the queen mother.
“Isn’t it? I see that he is not favored by this photo, Aijia is really going to be angry…”
She originally wanted to talk about Zhu Houzhao’s doting favor with Liu Ruyue~www.readmtl.com~, but she felt that the situation was inappropriate, so she immediately changed her tune.
“Zhaoyi, you said that this batch of beautiful girls are all good, what should I do with the girls from the last batch?”
“Empress mother, according to the concubines, if the queen mother really thinks that they can’t stay in the palace, they should be sent back to their origin, so as to prepare for future drafts. At least some big families dare to send their daughters to the palace. in the palace.”
“Well, yes, you are more and more able to talk now, and many things are more thoughtful than Aijia’s consideration. After you give birth to the child, you will be responsible for the drafting in Chuxiu Palace. ”
“Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, the concubine is just talking about things.”
The queen mother beckoned, indicating that Bai Xue should stop talking, she was going to start explaining the rules of the palace to these beautiful girls kneeling on the ground.
