There were very few eunuchs in the North Palace of the King of Chu. After Jianwen and his family moved into this palace, the eunuchs were unwilling to use more eunuchs left by the King of Chu. In addition, the Huguang royal family had not yet publicly recruited eunuchs, which caused the situation that there were particularly many women in the inner palace and few eunuchs.
One sunny morning, Zhang Ning went to Zhongzheng Hall to greet Emperor Jianwen, and the guards accompanied him were a bunch of women.
The cavalry team led by Taohua Fairy is composed of women selected by the provincial eunuch.
This group of people originated from Yao Ji's love of horse racing for a period of time. He thought that female riders were also very good at riding horses. On a whim, a horse team like a guard of honor organized by horses was the Peach Blossom Fairy; a team that was usually idle, walked on the palace avenue from time to time, and occasionally appeared on the streets of Wuchang.
Although they were a group of women, wearing narrow-fitting green and red riding uniforms and brand new and bright swords, they were also heroic and energetic, and they were incomparable to the palace maids with green sleeves and colorful skirts in the palace.
The cavalry team came from the central axis road that extended north and south, destroying the peaceful atmosphere in the palace.
An old eunuch was cleaning the fallen leaves on the roadside, and he couldn't help but stop and watch.
Three or four palace maids carrying baskets and lanterns walked by the corridor next to a palace in small steps, looking sideways.
Zhang Ning was wearing a yellow brocade robe and was also riding a horse, but there was a person leading the horse in front and walked slowly.
He had considered visiting Emperor Jianwen with Zheng Qia. Zheng Qia was Jianwen's old minister and could take the opportunity to propose the matter of winning over Mu Sheng in Yunnan.
But Yao Ji felt it was more appropriate to just ask Zheng Qiao to pass on the matter in Yunnan alone. Zhang Ning thought it was good...
Perhaps Zheng Qia had already revealed this to Emperor Jianwen, and they knew the purpose of the trip.
The guard stopped outside the gate of Zhongzheng Hall. Zhang Ning consciously took off the sword according to the rules, and then asked the palace servants from Nangong to take them in to see the emperor.
The person in charge of greeting was a strange eunuch, who was a little fat.
The largest eunuch in Jianwen before, the surname Cao, is said to have shared the joys and sorrows for many years. Unfortunately, the eunuch surnamed Cao implicated Empress Ma and was executed as a victim.
Any nostalgic person who is too familiar with others will be uncomfortable if he suffers disasters, right?
Perhaps Jianwen was also sad about Eunuch Cao's death...
The new eunuch Zhang Ning has never seen it, but his figure is the same as Eunuch Cao, and he is both broad and fat.
Perhaps Jianwen prefers fat eunuchs with gentleman style?
Surrounded by the front and back,?Next, Zhang Ning came to a warm pavilion where Jianwen was located.He bowed and shouted: My son asked my father for good.
Emperor Jianwen on the chair seemed to be wearing an ordinary Taoist robe. Out of politeness, Zhang Ning did not look up at him. He just glanced through the light and heard Jianwen's very kind voice: King Xiang is filial to his ministers, and I feel no comfort in my heart.
Zhang Ning said thanking his father for his kindness, then he got up from the ground and stood respectfully aside.Jianwen ordered someone to sit down, but Zhang Ning said he didn't dare to sit down.
Zhu Yunwen asked some questions about health, mostly meaningless and polite words, and Zhang Ning also answered them seriously.
He remembered that this kind of question and answer was like the eight-legged essay, with fixed patterns and etiquette, but he did not specifically find civil servants who knew etiquette to learn and recite, so he had to deal with the matter roughly according to the meaning.
But even if it is a cliché, such a conversation seems to express a kind of care. No wonder people need to communicate, even a very shallow communication is useful.
At this time, the fat eunuch brought tea. Zhang Ning had been in the Ming Dynasty for so many years and still understood the rules, so he took the initiative to worship Jianwen Tea.
Because I am a junior, I can stop drinking, so I feel relieved...
To be honest, he really dare not try the diet here easily.
According to theoretical speculation, Jianwen should not have harmed him. If he dies, it will be of no benefit to everyone.
However, many new and old gaps accumulated together made Zhang Ning very cautious and dared not truly trust Nangong's people.
In the moment of relaxation, he suddenly realized how pale the so-called father-son relationship with Jianwen was.
Sometimes he also felt that Zhu Yunwen was kind to him, because only after getting a title from here could he inherit Taizu's bloodline. This is a kind of inheritance and continuation...
But why do you feel so alienated and strange, and there is almost no difference between you and a stranger?
From the heart, as a person in later generations, he had no sense of identity with his parents here, but he could trust Yao Ji very much...
Perhaps it was Yao Ji's existence that destroyed the only connection between them?
Zhang Ning took advantage of the empty speech and looked up at Zhu Yunwen quietly, but unexpectedly found that he was looking at him condescendingly.
An indescribable feeling surged into my heart again.
Perhaps Zhu Yunwen is also examining such a son, and is also wondering why he does not have a sense of closeness?
Zhang Ning felt that the effect of greetings and showing goodwill this time may be very poor, and it is better than nothing.
No matter what era people are, even if there is a generation gap in their thoughts, some things are common: it is difficult to fake whether you treat others with your heart.
Even if there are thousands of words and clever words, if Zhang Ning did not have loyalty and filial piety from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yunwen would probably find it difficult to develop love for his son.
……
Even so, only two days later, Zheng Qia had an answer.Emperor Jianwen was willing to write a letter to Mu Sheng in person to help Wuchang win over Yunnan.
The cabinet also compiled the copper mine information from Huguang and Jiangxi to report it. These things were old files that were stored in the General Administration before and can be used as a reference. To achieve more accurate mineral output, it has to be reported again in various places.
Zhang Ning was going to take the things to the study in the attic and hand them over to Xu Wenjun for safekeeping, so that she could ask her if they wanted them.
After Old Xu died, Zhang Ning felt that Wenjun had no support, so he adopted him as his second concubine, but she actually did a job equivalent to a secretary; whether it was private or official, there was no one more reliable and simple relationship than Xu Wenjun.
He walked very slowly, and while he walked, he took things into consideration.
He believes that the raw materials of this order of magnitude can be extracted through local mining and mining.
If Yunnan cannot supply high-quality copper materials, at most, spend more time waiting for local copper smelting. It is said that there are some problems with quality, but there will be no way to solve it. Of course, it is better if things in Yunnan can go smoothly.
Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed, and the original navy plan could be carried out no matter what.
When he entered the study, he could not see Xu Wenjun. He remembered that she was here today.
After a while, I saw two people walking out of the inner room, one was Xu Wenjun and the other was Zhao Erniang.
Both of them were wearing lapel robes and wearing buns on their heads as women dressed as men.
Zhao Erniang hurriedly stepped forward and said: I, I am here to find Wenjun... Please punish me.She looked a little nervous, probably because she came to the government office privately because she was not allowed.
Zhang Ning hadn't thought of this woman for a long time. At this moment, he was stunned when he saw it and hurriedly made a move to help: Forget it.
At this time, he could not help but remember the past. Zhao Erniang was once a tool under Lao Xu. She encountered unexpected problems and suffered great harm when doing things...
For Zhang Ning's business.
He felt a little guilty, but he was no longer used to expressing his emotions and ignored Zhao Erniang for the time being.
Soon he was attracted by the map on the wall and walked over to see the location of the copper mine indicated on the materials.
The largest mining area in the control area, Daye.
I quickly measured the distance from Daye to Jiujiang with a ruler and estimated the distance based on the scale.
It seems that after the copper ore is mined, it can only be refined on site, and then slowly transported it to Jiujiang Dock with mules and horses.
He almost forgot all the people and things around him for a moment, and his eyes were very focused.
While thinking about something, he used his fingers to touch Daye to Jiujiang, and then looked at Nanjing on the right along the line of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, his fingers became very gentle, as if he was touching not a piece of paper, but the beautiful woman's beautiful skin, and his eyes also became affectionate, but there seemed to be a little coldness in it. Coldness comes from ambition, right?
Zhao Erniang, who was standing by, observed him with an unrecognizable look. Is this the man who patiently comforted her with the story of the wild grass?
He said that a seed fell into the barren cracks of rocks, with only a little soil and water, and it can still germinate and take root, showing its own life.
At that time, she was deeply moved by such tenderness.But those illusory and distant warmth are so unsure, while those truly lost and experienced pain will remain forever.
Zhao Erniang felt that she should not be here today. As a woman, she lost her usefulness as a woman. What is the use of ambition in front of a prince and prince?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Ning suddenly said without looking back: Er Niang, come here with Wen Jun from now on.I am often busy and I rarely see you once. When I come here, I can still meet you from time to time.
Zhao Erniang raised her head in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.She looked over and saw only one back, but she couldn't see his eyes.
At this time, Zhang Ning turned around and looked at her seriously: There are many people around me now, all of whom are very important; but I will not forget who is there when there are very few people around me, and I also understand in my heart who should really cherish who.
Ancient people were probably not good at expressing friendship in this way. Zhao Erniang blushed and was uncomfortable avoiding his gaze. Even Xu Wenjun pretended to complain: Why did the prince suddenly say this today? It's true.
Her voice was a little strange.
Neither Xu Wenjun nor Zhao Erniang, they probably don’t have that broad mind and will think about the reason why Zhang Ning performed like this. Perhaps they just think that they do not belong to any force and are his followers at the beginning. It is of great value to be trusted to the greatest extent.
One sunny morning, Zhang Ning went to Zhongzheng Hall to greet Emperor Jianwen, and the guards accompanied him were a bunch of women.
