Chapter 24 Qiantang Chen Mansion
After arranging Hai Dafu, Zhu Qi looked at the two young palace servants who were eager to try behind Hai Dafu, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are still too few people available around him!

"Sanbao, today I give you the name Zheng He. In the future, you will be the deputy manager of my Prince Zhao's Mansion. The Huangzhuang, mountains, and mines under the name of the Mansion will be handed over to you. You must train more talents for the Mansion; You will also be in charge of the guards of the various industries under your name, and you will manage them in a unified way in the future to eliminate bad people."

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young palace official knelt down and said, "Zheng He thank you, my lord, and I will not let you down."

Zhu Qi nodded, then looked at another feminine palace man and said: "Little Yuzi, today I will give you the name Yuhuatian, and I will also make you the deputy manager of the palace. The shops, restaurants, inns, etc. under the name of the palace will be handed over You arrange it. For the specific plan, you find Eunuch Hai!"

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, a young palace official who was also [-] or [-] years old knelt down and said, "Thank you for your name! Huatian must work hard."

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "Eunuch Hai, you will arrange the hundred households, caravans, and increasing industries under the Wangfu!" Hai Dafu nodded in response.He also knew that there were too few people available in the Palace, otherwise he would not let two teenagers be in charge.

After all the arrangements were made, the three of them left in a hurry. There are a lot of things to do in the palace!

Zhu Qi initially straightened out Zhao Wang's mansion, and then began to drink medicine, practice boxing, and study step by step again!
Outside the palace, Hai Dafu hurried away with a dozen or so carriages.

Hai Dafu's trip represented Zhao Wangfu, Zhu Qi's filial piety, and the grief of Zhu Qi's mother and concubine.Therefore, Hai Dafu attached great importance to it. After bidding farewell to Zhu Qi last night, Hai Dafu spent a long time picking and choosing in the warehouse of the palace.

Zhu Qi's uncle, Chen Heng, was on duty in the Ministry of Industry these days, and he was always a little restless.What he was thinking about was the fact that the Chen family had sent a greeting card to Zhao Wang's family.

Chen Heng was still a teenager when his sister was drafted into the palace.

Although, later, my elder sister was accidentally canonized as a concubine by Emperor Hongwu, but the Chen family of Qiantang was a scholarly family with strict family education. The Chen family of Qiantang did not use their daughter's name to do anything wrong, but they were more cautious!Therefore, many close friends of the Chen family in Qiantang did not know that their sister was the imperial concubine.

In fact, it was mainly due to the decades of troubled times. From the aristocratic family to the small family, everyone has learned to behave in a low-key manner.The number of large and small families that have been wiped out in the past few decades is countless.

Although the Ming Empire was established, Emperor Hongwu was a self-made man who hated the gentry and officials who oppressed the people the most.In recent years, the Ming Empire has beheaded many civil and military officials and noble relatives.Under the butcher's knife of Emperor Hongwu, the civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty and their relatives were very honest.

The Qiantang Chen Mansion has been passed down for a hundred years, so it is natural to know the principle of being wise and protecting one's life.

In the past few years, my sister had often exchanged letters, but then the letters gradually stopped, and there was no reply to the letters sent by the Chen family.These years, I have often seen my mother cry while looking at the things left by my sister, but what can I do as a scholar!As my sister is a concubine, since she has disappeared silently, she must be involved in the secret history of the palace. Don't say that he can't find out, even if he can find out, he won't dare to inquire about it.

Since ancient times, the palace has been extremely treacherous, and if one is not careful, the family will be wiped out.My father also told me many times, but I know that my father and mother generally miss my sister very much!

Last year, I was suddenly transferred to the capital with the appreciation of the prince, but I actually had some thoughts.

No way!Although the prince fancyed himself and rewarded him with a lot of property, he never had the opportunity to meet the prince.At the beginning, when I received the transfer order, I learned the news that the prince was retreating as soon as I entered Beijing; later, I learned that the prince was leading the army.

Although, there is no chance to meet the prince, but the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village.

Years later, someone from the palace came and said it was an old man beside my sister.

Only then did Chen Heng learn that her sister died of illness after giving birth to the Nine Princes for His Majesty!The Ninth Prince has been sick and weak since he was a child and has been recuperating in the palace for these years. As for why the news was interrupted, the palace people don't know.

Although Chen Heng received a summons from the palace man, but he had just been in the capital not long ago, so the news was not smooth, and he did not know whether it was true or not.

It stands to reason that my sister, as a concubine, gave birth to a prince for His Majesty, and if my sister died of illness, the court would notify the Chen family no matter what.However, not only did the Chen family not get the news, but they were also worried for so long!No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out!
Therefore, Chen Heng was dubious about the news from the palace man.

It was true that the Ninth Prince was out of the palace. The imperial court did not block the news, and Chen Heng could find out after a little inquiring.But if it is said that the Ninth Prince is his nephew, Chen Heng still can't believe it.In the end, Chen Heng thought for a long time, and then made up his mind to take advantage of the Ninth Prince's opening of the mansion, invest in the invitation card, and test the truth.

The servants who went to send the invitations were sent back soon.There is no follow-up!This made Chen Heng even more headache, could it be that he was being plotted against.But I am just a small official from the Ministry of Industry, so what is there to be calculated by others?

In fact, the root cause of the disconnection between the Chen family and the palace was Hong Wudi and the empress.

Zhu Qi's mother and concubine passed away shortly after giving birth to Zhu Qi, and the newborn Zhu Qi was weak and sick, and she was about to die.His own son was about to die, and Emperor Hongwu was naturally furious, and ordered the imperial hospital to cure Zhu Qi.

At that time, the empress also focused on taking care of Zhu Qi, and the funeral of Zhu Qi's mother and concubine was handed over to the palace people according to the etiquette system.

In fact, the funeral prepared by those palace people was connected with Zhu Qi, but no one thought that Zhu Qi would survive tenaciously.The palace people who were in charge of the funeral of Concubine Zhu Qi's mother were all terrified. If Emperor Hongwu knew that he was ready for the funeral of the prince, the furious Emperor Hongwu would have delayed them.

Therefore, these palace people tacitly concealed the matter, and tried their best to reduce the influence of this matter in the palace.The empress's ability to entrust the funeral of the concubines to these palace people shows that these palace people are trusted by the empress and have status in the palace.They teamed up to deceive the upper and lower, and Hong Wudi and the empress saw that there was no surprise or overstepping in Concubine Chen's funeral. Naturally, they did not expect that there was something tricky in the middle.

In addition, Zhu Qi became ill later on, and spent most of his time recuperating in the hospital.This Concubine Chen was never mentioned again!

In fact, all the letters from the Chen family were handed over to the palace, but these people cheated and withheld the letters secretly.This also caused the Chen family to think wildly.There was no reply to the letter, and the Chen family did not dare to send it again.In this way, the Chen family and Zhu Qi broke off contact.

In fact, with Hai Dafu's shrewd actions of those palace people, Hai Dafu couldn't be hidden from him. However, after Concubine Chen died of illness, Hai Dafu was in a state of confusion and stayed by Zhu Qi's side all the time. All his thoughts were on Zhu Qi. Where can I take care of a lot.In addition, there was no mistake in Concubine Chen's funeral, and even Hai Dafu didn't notice the problem.
