The scholar-bureaucrats missed the Song Dynasty because it was an era when the status of literati was extremely high. They missed ruling the world with the scholar-officials. They missed the golden years when even the emperor could not easily execute civil servants.

As for paying tribute to the Liao Dynasty, being beaten by Xixia, and the emperor being kidnapped by the Jurchens, etc., that is another matter.

As for the gentry, including some officials, they miss the rule of the Mongols. Although the status of the Han people in the north and the Han people in the south is not high, and even many scholars are classified into the ninth class lower than craftsmen and prostitutes, that doesn't matter. The main thing is

It is also because of the tax package system that they have great benefits.

The Mongols in history can be said to be very 'lenient'. The Han people did not need to perform corvee service, military service, etc., because in the eyes of the Mongols, the Han people were not trustworthy.

It seems to lower the status of the Han people, but it does also cause the people at the bottom to have no way to survive.

Now some people miss the Song Dynasty, and some miss the Yuan Dynasty. Lao Zhu understands this, and Zhu Xiongying also understands this.

Hongye brought some wine, and Zhu Xiongying looked at Queen Ma. Queen Ma, who was holding her shoes, just glanced at it lightly. She was the one who arranged it and had someone bring the wine.

Zhu Xiongying looked at the wine and immediately said, "I want to drink wine and make wine. This is not possible. Let me make wine again."

Distilled liquor has a history. Some say it existed in the Yuan Dynasty, while others say there were stills in the Song Dynasty. There is also a saying in the Tang Dynasty that it was shochu. Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were bronze stills.

Since the emperor's grandson is not satisfied with this, he should continue to work hard and bring out stronger wine.

Although it is basically not up to the level of medical alcohol, it actually doesn’t matter.

Zhu Xiongying remembered the important matter and said quickly, "Bring me a set of distilling utensils. Forget it, send them to the Kaiping Prince's Mansion."

After Hongye left, Empress Ma asked with a smile, "A good grandson, you don't want to govern the world, so you are busy with these things."

Zhu Xiongying was not happy and said with a smile, "Grandma, what I do is big things. Now I am busy with military affairs and just ignore government affairs. Now I don't have to do these things, so I can relax a lot.

year."

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying stretched out his hand to please, "Grandma, can you give me the palace talisman?"

Empress Ma pointed to a box with a smile, "Go get it yourself. It doesn't matter if you go out. You can't have dinner at your grandmother's house."

"I will definitely come back before the imperial city closes." Zhu Xiongying hurriedly ran to get the palace talisman, but then remembered something, "Grandma, I will send someone to the red warehouse to get some things in a while. It's only the beginning of spring, and many students are probably in trouble.

."

The red warehouse is also dedicated to storing grain to support the wives and children of the imperial students.

The main reason is that nowadays, places like the Imperial College are not only filled with disciples of the gentry and gentry, but also many scholars from poor backgrounds. Most of these people are studying, and most of them have living allowances, while their wives and children have a hard time making a living.

So Empress Ma asked Lao Zhu for money and food, and built more than twenty red warehouses to subsidize the wives and children of Tai students.

Queen Ma is a virtuous queen, not just because she is in love with Lao Zhu, but the most important thing is that she is a model in the harem and loves her people like her own children.

"Then you go and give a reward in your name." Empress Ma said, "I also know that you, like your grandfather and your father, have some suspicions about those scholars, but in the end, we still have to rely on them to rule.

The world."

Zhu Xiongying immediately took out his brush and started writing the decree. After finishing writing, he took out the seal from the box, breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the ink pad again, and stamped it fiercely.

Queen Ma, who was picking up the soles of her shoes, felt a little strange and asked, "Why two sounds?"

Zhu Xiongying was stunned and calmly rolled up the two portraits, "Grandma, I'm going out and will be back in the afternoon."

"Can't you lie to me?" Empress Ma was angry and funny, criticizing, "You can say whatever you want, can I still believe you?"

Zhu Xiongying took Yizhi in his hand and said with a playful smile, "Then I might as well not say anything, because I can't deceive my grandmother. I have done something on my own initiative, and I can't deceive my grandmother with words anymore."

"If you really want to save worries, don't make your own decisions." Queen Ma was angry and funny, but she still said, "My will is easy to use. If there is something important, I still have to go to your father."

Zhu Xiongying said, "It doesn't necessarily mean it can be used, and it definitely has nothing to do with government affairs."

Empress Ma nodded. Her grandson's peace of mind has been reflected since he was a child, and he is also measured. So don't talk about Yi's edict. Even if it is a false edict, the palace will recognize it when it is passed back.

In fact, imperial edicts often have procedures.

In the Tang Dynasty, after it was written by Zhongshu Sheng, it was sent to the emperor for sealing, then to Menxia Sheng for review and sealing, and finally to Shangshu Sheng for execution. The emperor signed and sealed it, but this does not necessarily mean it is absolutely easy to use.

The Song Dynasty was even more extreme. The emperor could not directly issue imperial edicts, and civilian officials had more restrictions on imperial power.

The Ming Dynasty is a little better now. There is no prime minister system and no restrictions on the civil service group, so it is much more convenient for the emperor to directly issue imperial edicts. However, edicts are also particular, and different official grades have different styles of imperial edicts that they can access, which also requires

Civilian polishing and distribution also need to keep files.

Zhu Xiongying left the Meridian Gate in a carriage and went straight to the Kaiping Palace.

Chang Lan's face turned cold, and he grabbed a teacup and threw it at a burly man, "You bastard!"

The burly man immediately lowered his head with a flattering expression, "Sister, sister, he is a bastard."

"I'm talking about you!" Chang Lan was extremely angry and glared at Lan Yu and shouted, "You are now the Marquis of Yongchang. I can't punish you anymore, and I can't punish you anymore."

Lan Yu lowered her head and said flatteringly, "Sister can take care of me, but if I don't do well, I still have to discipline me."

When Lan Yu is in front of her sister, it's not just about the so-called bloodline suppression. It's said that elder sisters are like mothers, which is normal. She is more than ten years younger than her sister, and it was her sister who took him as a dragster to marry him.

Brother-in-law.

At home, he was in charge of his elder sister, and when he was in the army, he worked under her as a junior high school student. If it weren't for his elder sister, he would have had the opportunity to become a marquis or a general.

"You just came back from Yunnan last year, look what you have done now?" Chang Lan was very angry and said, "Your niece is now in the palace, diligent and respectful, abiding by women's ethics, for fear of doing something wrong.

I’m afraid of ruining the future of the emperor’s eldest grandson.”

Lan Yu whispered in a low voice and said, "Who doesn't know that my niece and the prince have a deep love for each other? My nephew and grandson live in Kunning Palace..."

Chang Lan snorted coldly, and Lan Yu's whisper disappeared.

Lan Yu quickly changed her face, hurriedly showing off and trying to please her, "Sister, I'm really not fooling around. I'm doing my duty now. A few days ago, the prince asked me to take charge of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion."

After all, he is also the prince's 'uncle'. He has made some achievements in the past few years and is about to be put to great use.

Just as the elder sister was educating her younger brother, a housekeeper came over happily, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson has arrived in front of the mansion and got out of the car."

Chang Lan was stunned and immediately said with joy, "Hurry, let someone go to greet you. Quick, open the middle door!"

"Grandma, Xiongying is here." Zhu Xiongying had no intention of asking someone to open the middle door, which was too formal, so he entered the palace directly from the side door, "Grandma, hurry up and prepare the roast goose for me. I want to eat the roast goose."

According to the ceremony, the middle gate of the palace must be opened wide to welcome Zhu Xiongying, and the men, women, and children of the Kaiping Palace must wait at the gate. But Zhu Xiongying came in directly, and no one dared to stop him.

Chang Lan was very happy and said quickly, "Concubine..."

Zhu Xiongying started to jog, supporting Chang Lan to prevent her from saluting, "Grandma, if this is the case, Xiongying will not dare to come here in the future. It is not easy for the mother and concubine to leave the palace, but I can go out for a walk now. If it is really like this,

I won’t come here anymore.”

Holding Zhu Xiongying's hand happily, Chang Lan said quickly, "No heretics, no heretics. The emperor's eldest grandson will come here often in the future."

Lan Yu, who was next to him, knelt down quickly, his face full of joy, "Your Majesty Yongchang Hou Lan Yu, I would like to pay homage to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, Your Highness Qianqiu."

After taking a look at Lan Yu, I realized that Zhu Xiongying actually knew her, but they had only met her twice.

Zhu Xiongying was not polite and said immediately, "Grandma, it's time for you to take care of your uncle. He just returned to Beijing last year, and he took in a third concubine again? But I heard that the third concubine in Xinna's past was a

One is from a gentry family, one is from a scholar family, and there is a businessman. He is not to the point where he wants to taint himself, let alone use his power to oppress others."
