The fragrance is dotted among the flowers, and bees and butterflies are busy fighting for honey.

Next to it is the sea of ​​flowers in the Imperial Garden, and everyone is sitting in the pavilion corridor.

This was the first time that King Zhu Yunyu of Wu gave a banquet to his ministers. Xie Jin and Tie Xuan sat upright, without looking sideways.

The palace was given a banquet and meal system, and the two of them sat behind a square table. Zhu Yunxiu was wearing a common clothes for exercise in the morning. Because he was not solemn enough, he changed his clothes in the palace.

Twelve eunuchs lined up in a row, holding blue and white porcelain in their hands.

First of all, four kinds of vegetarian dishes are in front of each person, pickled cucumber slices, dried radish with sesame oil, stir-fried cabbage with sesame paste, and sugar garlic. (cucumber is cucumber, Huangtonghuang, so it is taboo)

Then there was a cut salted duck egg for each person. The duck eggs were just marinated and cooked just right, and the red grease seemed to be flowing under the sun.

Stewed rice porridge per person, rolled with scallion oil and golden shredded buns, with shrimp skin and meat filling.

As for the Emperor's House, the food is a bit shabby, but the chefs on the old man prepare all year round. First, the old man has a simple temperament, and second, the old man likes these home-cooked side dishes.

If anyone is blinded and dares to prepare bird's nest for the old man in the morning, he will probably be treated as bird's nest.

Zhu Yunxiu was still changing clothes, and the two officials of the King of Wu could not move without permission, and sat there looking at the nose and the nose to the heart.

Tie Xuan was calm and had a tall body sitting straight and motionless.

Xie Jin sat in the imperial garden, his eyes full of colorful scenes. He was full of poetry in his heart. He wanted to recite a poem, but when he saw Tie Xuan, who was like a lump of elm beside him, he could not write any poem.

Brother Tai! Tie Xuan is about six or seven years older than Xie Jin, so Xie Jin said brother Tai.

Tie Xuan turned his head slightly and nodded slightly.

In the lower grades of Xie Jin, a native of Jiangxi, was the tenth Jinshi in the Wuchen rank in the 20th year of Hongwu. Xie Jin began to report to his family.

According to legend, when he was in the imperial examination, he was probably the top three in the first place, but he was too young and his articles were fierce. In order to tease his temperament, the examiner relied on his reputation and then became a little more famous.

Tie Xuan pondered for a moment, and was promoted to Tie Xuan, a native of Deng, Henan, and was appointed as an official.

But after Xie Jin was slightly surprised, he asked the gossip.

Tie Xuan's face remained unchanged, Yuanchen.

Oh! Xie Jin suddenly realized, no wonder!

Tie Xuan's eyes trembled three times, and then he had no expression on his face.

It turned out that it was not an imperial examination. The Imperial College can still be awarded an official position. In a few years, a county magistrate will be amazing. Not to mention the Sixth Division of the Central Government, brother is very lucky! Xie Jin continued to laugh.

Tie Xuan suddenly turned his head, and a tall shadow directly enveloped Xie Jin.

The latter only felt that the eyes were dark, as if it was blocking a mountain.

The Imperial College is a dropout from the Imperial College. Although the Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the country, the students in it are all recommended by local students, and the Imperial College students have the power to become officials.

Since ancient times, such good things have almost never been the turn of ordinary people. Local people recommend children of prominent families from all over the country, officials or simply children of nobles.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the officials were mixed. In addition to the Huai people in power, there was also the Jiangnan faction, the Huai people's mortal enemy, and there were also the Dayuan officials and nobles who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not from a high school, he had a broad mind. Before Chang Yuchun and others conquered Dadu, Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly instructed that the nobles and officials of the Yuan Dynasty should not be harmed.

His actions not only won the favor of the failed party, but also quickly transformed these people into the power of the Ming Dynasty officials.

Tie Xuan's ancestors were also prominent, so he was recommended to the Imperial College.

Xie Jin felt that his eyes turned dark. When he looked at Tie Xuan's dull face, he was suddenly a little nervous. Brother Tai, Brother Tie, you blocked the light!

Tie Xuan suddenly smiled and shook his head and returned to his position.

At this time, Zhu Yunxiu changed his clothes, wearing a prince's robe wrapped in gold thread, and strode in.

Others give banquets to the main banquet, but I am breakfast. Don’t dislike them, just use them! Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

In fact, he was worried that he had no team of his own, but he didn't expect that the old man had already chosen his right-hand man for him. One hero and three gangs, Tie Xuan was steady and Xie Jin was talented, and he was very happy.

Both of them are scholars, and they cannot find any faults in etiquette. They pay attention to eating without saying anything or talking, and eating slowly.

Zhu Yun'e was a little bit unserious enough. He was in the same way as the old man when he had a meal, and he had a big relationship.

The shrimp skin buns are good, fragrant and fresh! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Dingshi, why don't you eat them?"

Zhu Yunxiu noticed that Tie Xuan just ate rice porridge and side dishes, and the meat buns didn't move.

This meat bun is only the size of a longan. Although it looks small, the workmanship is very complicated. It is not as big as the northern buns, and it tastes unique.

Tie Xuan hesitated and stood up and said, "Go back to Your Highness, I am a descendant of Semu people, and I believe in Islam at home, so I don't eat big meat..."

I understand! Zhu Yunxiu looked at Tie Xuan's face like a mixed-race child, and suddenly realized, and smiled and said, "It's mine."

I dare not! Tie Xuan quickly said solemnly.

Don’t eat big meat? The ancients said that there is a gift from above, but the lower one cannot say anything... Xie Jin just spoke, and felt that Tie Xuan’s shadow was pressing over again, so he immediately shut up.

The Ming Dynasty was a very tolerant dynasty, and in a sense it was the beginning of China's formation of a truly multi-ethnic country.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a great lord who expelled the Tartars and restored China, he never blindly and narrowly xenophobic. He not only ordered Song Lian and others to compile the history of the Yuan Dynasty, but also gave a positive attitude towards some policies that benefit the people in the early Yuan Dynasty.

(Interested friends, please check out the economic policies of Jiangnan in the late Southern Song Dynasty and the policy comparison of Kublai Khan in the early Yuan Dynasty)

And treat the subjects of the world, whether they were descendants of Semu people who had settled in the Central Plains during the Yuan Dynasty or other Hu people, they were treated equally. As long as they abide by the law, they would be citizens of the Ming Dynasty, who could be officials, farming, and doing business without any restrictions.

In the early years of Hongwu, he issued an order to remarry the clothes like the Tang Dynasty. This means that the clothes in the early years had the shadow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At the same time, they were forbidden to speak Hu language, Hu surname, braided hair, Hu clothing, etc. Hu people and Semu people could intermarry with Han people, but both parties had to voluntarily.

In general, the early Ming Dynasty was a country of confidence and inclusiveness. This also made the Ming Dynasty's culture present a very colorful side, and its political influence was very far-reaching. Even so, such inclusion also allowed external things to be better integrated into local civilization.

Respect others is respecting oneself. This is the most basic quality and moral qualities of a person and a country.

The place where Zhu Yunyu grew up in this era was still a wild place. But when he grew up, there were more than 50 classmates in a class, including Han, Man, Mongolian, Hui Dynasty, Hezhe, Oroqen, and Daur.

Everyone has the same cultural bloodline and the same values, and is as close as one family regardless of their own.

The person came, bring the bun in front of me! Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

Tie Xuan's dull face showed a rare slight expression. He said, "Your Highness is like this, I am grateful in my heart, there is no need to take it, it's okay!"

Isn’t it a waste if you don’t eat it? Zhu Yunxiu joked, I know your rules, although you don’t eat it, you don’t care what others eat in public places, right!

Tie Xuan looked up in surprise. He really didn't expect that this young King of Wu would have such an understanding of their habits of semen. He nodded and said, "That's right."

Is your wife a Han? Zhu Yunxi asked again.

My wife and mother are all Han people! Tie Xuan smiled slightly and said, "In fact, Chen Zhi's family is just a Semi family in the Dayuan household registration. The family has intermarried with Han people in all dynasties. As he said that, hesitated, Chen Zhi's family has lived in Dengdi, Henan for generations, and is no different from Han people."

I understand, understand! Zhu Yunxi continued to smile and said, Henan’s stewed noodles are quite fragrant.

When talking about his hometown, Tie Xuan had a smile on his face. I have a chef at home who made good pasta. If His Highness does not abandon him, he will come to the humble house another day and ask him to cook a bowl for you.

However, I was also a little surprised that Yingtian and Henan were more than just a thousand miles away, and why the King of Wu knew so well.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, and said one thing was certain!

Your Highness! Xie Jin also spoke, I am from Jiangxi, and the chef at home is good at making tea and rice, especially tofu.

Haha! Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud, okay, I'll go and have time to check it out another day!

Xie Jin was a little worried and continued to say that His Highness had said something.

It is hard to chase after the horse! Zhu Yunxi smiled.

At this time, Park Bucheng walked quietly and whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear. Both of them placed their chopsticks.

The smile on Zhu Yunxiu's face faded and he said seriously that the coffin of Duke Qian of Mu Ying has arrived. Grandpa Huang asked me to handle his funeral. Let's go with me!

Yes! The two stood up and said respectfully.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunxiu reported to the old man and was about to leave the palace.

The King of Wu had a full guard of ceremonial guards in the palace. When Zhu Yunyu was about to leave the palace, two hundred guards outside the hall were personally soldiers, more than one hundred palace servants, and dozens of Jinyiwei were standing and waiting.

Please see His Highness the King of Wu! Among the guards, Fu Youde's son Fu Rang, brothers of the Liao family of Duke of Chu, and many noble children bowed together.

No gift! Zhu Yunxiu sat in the topless sedan chair and found that the clothes of the guards were a little different from those in the past.

In the past, most of the guards in the palace were dressed in brocade clothes, but today they were all armored. Moreover, the expressions on these people's faces all showed a closer look than before.

What's the matter so happy! Zhu Yunxi asked Liao Yong who was accompanying him.

Liao Yong lowered his head slightly, don’t your highness know? His Majesty’s decree in the morning, and I am now your highness’s personal army!

My personal army? Zhu Yunqi was stunned.

According to the system of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings had their own army, and they were all elites of the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, these soldiers obeyed the management of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but in fact they were the private soldiers of the vassal kings.

The old man not only gave it to the civil servants, but now he also gave it to me as a military general!

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the guards with his head held high and his chest and thought, and he should know that most of the guards in the palace were from the generals.

Now is the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. My heroic sons and heroes are not idiots from the late Ming Dynasty. They have received special military education since childhood. If they are released and polished for a little, they will become good generals.

Zhu Yunqiu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly turned around. Outside Fengtian Hall, the old man stood there with a few eunuchs, watching with a smile.

Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxiu was infinitely moved.

~~~~~~

I have a few words of water.

It is harder to write this chapter than any previous chapter, and there are many things to consider. The first is review, and the second is that I know that writing Tie Xuan like this will definitely not be pleasing to you and will lose some readers.
To be continued...
