Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2099 Zhengguoben (Yuan [-]) firmly wishes, dare not ask

Although it was said that Zhu Yijun summoned his ministers in Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss private matters, Gao Yushi didn't care much about it.What topic Zhu Yijun chooses is Zhu Yijun's business, and what topic he proactively mentions is his pragmatic business.Over the years, Zhu Yijun has never stopped him from speaking.

What's more, now that Gao Yushi is an important minister of the court-a pillar-like important minister, it is even more impossible for Zhu Yijun not to let him speak.

Arriving outside the East Nuan Pavilion, Gao Wushi saw Chen Ju coming down the steps with a smile on his face, and was about to greet him, but unexpectedly Chen Ju whispered: "Master Hou, the empress is also here."

Gao Yushi was about to go up the steps with half his foot hanging in the air. When he heard this, he stopped in his tracks and said in astonishment, "Is the Empress here? Then I will ask to see you later." He raised his raised foot Take it back and stand under the steps.

"No, no." Chen Ju still had a smile on his face, and said: "It was the emperor who invited the empress to come here, and not only the empress, but also the young master."

Gao Wushi stared at Chen Ju's eyes, and asked seriously, "Master?"

"Yes, master." Chen Ju also replied seriously.

"Is the matter finally settled..." Gao Wushi let out a long breath, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to say to Chen Ju: "The nearly 20-year national struggle has finally been settled. Is it gone?"

Chen Ju took a deep breath, and said slowly but firmly: "Our family thought that the emperor invited Lord Hou to come here today to make a final decision, so as long as Lord Hou is firm enough, this matter will surely happen!"

Gao Wushi still raised his head, but slowly closed his eyes, opened them after a while, looked at Chen Ju and said, "I see, thank you Brother Lingang."

"It's all for the country of Ming Dynasty. There is no hard work. If you talk about hard work, Hou Ye is the one who has worked the hardest these years!" Chen Ju sighed.

Gao Wushi smiled indifferently: "Brother Lingang is too famous... If that's the case, please let brother Lingang pass it on for you."

Chen Ju nodded, stretched out his hand, pointed to Hou Xuan's position, and said, "Please wait here, Lord Hou." The position of the umbrella—it wasn't raining today, and the umbrella just told the servants where to stand.

Chen Ju came in to report and did not say anything, Gao Yushi stood under the umbrella and muttered silently: "Master..."

When Chen Ju mentioned the word "Xiao Ye" for the first time just now, Gao Wushi immediately asked a serious question, and Chen Ju also answered seriously.Now, Gao Yushi is talking again, why?

Because "Xiaoye" corresponds to "Emperor", it is a special name for the prince in the palace.As I said a long time ago, in the court of the Ming Dynasty, at least after Zhu Di appointed Beijing as the emperor, many titles in the Beijing court began to be "northernized". The more obvious feature is the word "ye". Usage has increased significantly.

The character "ye" has its own historical origins. If you look at the simplified form of this character, it is difficult to understand. You have to look at the traditional form: it is written as "ye", with "father" on the top and "ye" on the bottom.

In the oracle bone glyphs of the character "Father", the character "Father" is a hand holding an object such as a stone axe.In ancient times, people learned to use tools for productive labor and war, which is of great significance to creating a new life, so "father" is a respectful title for men engaged in labor and war in ancient times.

So, who is the main labor force in a family, and who is the one who has to go to war when the tribe needs it?Of course, it is an adult man in the family, so after a period of evolution, "father" in ancient Chinese became fixed and became "father", the head of the family.

It can be said that the formation of patriarchal society stems from the fact that only adult men can undertake two of the three most important events in ancient tribal society: production and war. [Note: Another major event is sacrifice. ]
According to historical records, until the Tang Dynasty, the word "Ye" did not appear, and the people in the Tang Dynasty called their fathers "Ye" and "Ye Ye" in colloquialism - this sound finally turned into Ye.

Du Fu's "Soldiers and Chariots" said: "Yeniang's wife walks to send each other off." Among them, "Yeniang" is the parents, that is to say, people in the Tang Dynasty said "Ye" is not the grandfather but the father.

This is not an isolated evidence. For example, Li Shimin's letters to Li Zhi are often inscribed with "Ye Ye Chi" - Chi is because Li Shimin, as the emperor, writes everything is Chi, and "Ye Ye" is his Self-proclaimed in front of his own son.

In fact, why wait until the Tang Dynasty, as early as before the Jin Dynasty, people had already called their father "Ye", but I won't go into details here.In short, in the Song Dynasty, people added the word "fu" on the basis of "ye" to write the word "ye" in form and sound.

Later on, the word "Ye" gradually raised the seniority from the original meaning of father, and it was specially used to address grandfathers and men of the same generation as grandfathers.After the Ming Dynasty, the word "Ye" has been used by people to address grandfathers or men of high status.

Since there are so many "respectable men" in Beijing, the appellation of "Mr. Mou" has spread around Beijing.Later, when the Tartars entered the customs, they also accepted this custom, so that when later generations saw Qing palace dramas, the whole drama was completely gone.

In short, both the Ming and Qing dynasties liked to call the emperor "Huang Ye", "Long Live Lord" and "Long Live Grandpa", and they also liked to call the prince "Xiao Ye". What is more important is that this person has a high status.

Since it mainly shows a pair of noble status, the most noble father and son in the world, it is naturally the emperor and the prince - "Emperor" and "Little Master".

Chen Ju has been able to secure the position of the supervisor of ceremonies, largely because of his cautious and stable personality. Since he dared to call the emperor's son-in-law "young master" in front of Gao Yushi, he naturally has enough knowledge of today's affairs grasp.

It's just that Gao Pragmatism is still unclear as to where this confidence comes from.

"Xuan——Fengtian Yiyun pushes sincerely to keep the text, and the minister specially enters Zuozhu Kingdom Taifu Taizi Taishi and Wenhuadian University Shihubu Shangshu Nanning Marquis Gao Wushi has an audience!"

With a loud call, Gao Wushi woke up from his thoughts.He subconsciously glanced at Chen Ju, who had yelled this himself, and murmured in his heart: Since calling in Dongnuange is generally defined by the emperor as talking about private matters, why bother to read all my official titles?This should be used in more formal occasions.

It seems that the issue of the crown prince is really going to be discussed, but for some reason, Zhu Yijun deliberately defined it as a "private matter of the Tian family".

But this is not the time to think too much, Gao Yushi retracted his gaze, calmed down, and walked into the East Nuan Pavilion with his head slightly lowered.

He lowered his head on purpose, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhu Yijun who was sitting in the hall below his knees, and the hem of another bright yellow dress beside him. .”

Although the action was formal, it was after all in Dongnuange, so he omitted the long live, thousand live and so on.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "It is not necessary to be too polite to be practical, let's be flat... Come here, give Nanning a seat, and a brocade seat."

Ci Zuo and Ci Jin Zuo seem to be a word apart, but they are actually quite different.Generally speaking, the emperor's so-called granting a seat is likely to let the eunuchs move a small stool casually, which was already a great favor in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

If it's a brocade seat, it's a seat like a grand master's chair, and in this season, when the new year is just starting, some fur brocades and the like have to be spread on the grand master's chair to keep warm and cold. It is an extraordinary courtesy.

Of course, Gao Yushi's status is indeed high. For example, the "Special Entry to Zuozhu Kingdom" in his full-time title just now, this genuine first-rank Wen Xun was obtained by only nine people in the entire Ming Dynasty in the original history: in the third year of Hongwu, Li Shanchang and Xu Da were granted Zuo Zhu state; at the beginning of Zhengde period, Liu Jian was named Zuo Zhu state as Minister Gu Ming; Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Juzheng, and Shen Shixing were also granted the title of Zuo Zhu state.

However, due to the emergence of Gao Yushi in this life, Gao Gong replaced Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Yushi himself replaced Shen Shihang...but still made up nine places.

With such a status, it is reasonable for the emperor to give him preferential treatment.

Gao Yushi sat down, still bowing his head slightly, mainly because it was inconvenient for a minister to look directly at the queen - although he had seen it many times in the early years, but today's situation is different, and his attitude must be correct.

On the contrary, Zhu Yijun felt a little uncomfortable when he came like this.According to Zhu Yijun's experience, once Gao Yushi is so formal, he will be courteous during the conversation, which in Zhu Yijun's opinion is not conducive to today's conversation.

With a thought, Zhu Yijun simply got up and walked to the queen, beckoning the queen to give him the child.Queen Wang obediently handed over the sleeping imperial son in her arms. Zhu Yijun looked at it and subconsciously showed a gentle smile.

Then, he walked up to Gao Yushi with the child in his arms, and said, "Yushi, come and see my child."

The emperor got up and walked in front of him. Of course Gao Yushi couldn't sit still, he had already stood up, smiled and glanced at the infant child, then showed some surprise, and asked, "The emperor's son's jaundice has gone?"

Zhu Yijun said happily: "Yes, this thing comes and goes quickly, so it can be seen that the emperor is a very lucky person."

It is natural to agree with this kind of high-level and pragmatic statement, and nodded again and again: "What the emperor said is very true. I see that the emperor's son-in-law has a full heaven, a round earth pavilion, thick ears and a long neck, fair and rosy skin. It is indeed a sign of great wealth. Congratulations to the emperor , Congratulations to the queen."

The queen obviously wouldn't interrupt at this time, but Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Yushi with a smile, and suddenly lifted the child forward slightly, saying: "It's not your fault, I can't have this son, you can come and hug him too."

This was completely beyond Gao Yushi's expectations, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "The minister is a foreign minister, it stands to reason..."

"I let you hug me, who dares to talk?" Although Zhu Yijun still kept smiling, his tone was murderous: "In the future, I will ask him to respect you as my father. What?"

Gao Wushi's spine went numb for a moment, and he almost suspected that Zhu Yijun had summoned him to kill someone today.The problem is that when Zhu Yijun spoke to such an extent, he dared not refuse. He could only stretch out his hand while pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "The emperor is joking."

Zhu Yijun was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the child was hugged by two different people in a short period of time, probably because he fell asleep due to the noise, and opened his eyes in a daze.

The two clear and bright eyes looked left and right, and seemed to feel that these two people were not very familiar, and showed a little confusion for a while.

Gao Wushi was a little nervous, for fear that the child would burst into tears as soon as it was handed over to him.Although this is a very common thing, after all... the situation is a bit special now, and I even have some doubts about what Zhu Yijun is thinking in his heart.

Zhu Yijun also seems to be very concerned about this problem that is not a problem in theory. He looked at the little guy seriously, leaned closer, and said with a smile: "Oh, my son is awake? Here, see who is hugging you, do you like it?" ?”

Queen Wang on the other side seemed a little nervous when she heard this, subconsciously got up and walked over, saying, "Hao'er woke up? Are you hungry? Did the nurse just follow?"

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, but continued to look at the child in Gao Yushi's hand.The child was dazed and puzzled, but when he saw his mother approaching, he immediately smiled, and then, as if relieved, he turned his head slightly, leaned against Gao Yushi's chest, and fell asleep with his eyes closed again.

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said: "Well, be practical, I heard the old lady in the palace say that children are the most sensitive, and he feels safe with you. Only then can I continue to sleep...Okay!"

Gao Wushi breathed a sigh of relief, not caring that his back was drenched in cold sweat, and said with a blissful face, "To tell you the truth, I was afraid that I had been on the battlefield a lot earlier, and with the evil spirit on my body, I would disturb the emperor's son-in-law." .”

Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "You are a civil servant, or a great Confucian in the world, what evil spirit can you have?" He stretched out his hand and took the child over, turned around and handed it to the Queen Wang who came over, jokingly said: "Queen, this is Rang Hao Get a little literary, why are you in a hurry?"

Empress Wang took the child and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, if the emperor had said earlier that he wanted Hao'er to gain a bit of culture, the concubine would rather have Hao'er hungry than move."

Zhu Yijun smiled more freely, turned his head and said to Gao Wushi: "Mistakes are not allowed by the ancestral system. I think the queen can't wait to raise Hao'er in your house. That kind of literary spirit is called the peak."

You can't take these words casually, Gao Yushi hurriedly said: "This is not possible, not to mention the lack of talent and learning, but to say that as the emperor's son, it is true that some culture is needed, but the more important thing is nobility. Only by the emperor's side."

"You are the only one who can talk." Zhu Yijun laughed again, and then said to Queen Wang: "The wet nurse is in the ear room, the queen will see if Hao'er is really hungry, I will talk to Pragmatic first."

Queen Wang understood, nodded and said: "The concubine knows."

Just when she was about to leave, she stopped suddenly, smiled and said to Gao Wushi: "Hao'er is so close to Gao Aiqing, I hope Gao Aiqing can teach Hao'er well in the future."

Gao Wushi was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Yijun, but Zhu Yijun just smiled and said nothing, so Gao Wushi had no choice but to say: "I don't dare to ask for what I want."
