It was sent by the Ministry of War on its own initiative, so it can't be said that it was requested.
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen with pride. He solved the preliminary production equipment and expanded the production scale without spending a penny...
It was just this blatant way of "giving and accepting bribes" that left Zhu Yunwen dumbfounded. People like the Ministry of Works were so good at getting things done. They would do whatever they wanted without leaving any room for error. Should they be sent to a labor camp?
However, it was his wife who took the bribe. If he made the culprit unhappy, he might not have a place to sleep. After thinking about it, he turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing happened.
In the early morning of the Lantern Festival, Mochou Lake is already crowded with people.
The emperor and queen will spend the Lantern Festival with the people here. Such a prosperous time has naturally attracted countless people, merchants, and some officials who did not want to miss it and entered Mochou Lake early in the morning.
A high platform was built by the lake. The high platform was surrounded by gauze. There were many figures inside, walking around, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard from time to time.
Under the stage, soldiers were setting up tables and chairs.
When the emperor and queen are here, they can't just sit on the cold benches. Put a small stove next to them to at least keep them warm.
What, cabinet ministers are coming too?
Then arrange it in the front row.
The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion wants a front position?
Why, a group of rough guys, except Xu Huizu, everyone else is sitting in the second row.
Chen Di, the Minister of Etiquette who was in charge of the platoon position, made the decision neatly without fear of offending others.
Responsible for maintaining order, in addition to the Jinwu Guards, there is also the Ming Security Bureau.
Liu Changge stood beside Chen Di, scanning the surrounding crowd with sharp eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "Master Chen, why do you think the emperor made such a big move? What should we do if something unexpected happens?"
Chen Di wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the enthusiastic soldiers and people, and said with a smile: "Liu Commander Shi, this is good for the people. In the past dynasties, the emperors all sat high in the palace. Although the people knew that there was an emperor, they could not That’s all I know. Your Majesty enjoys the National Day and Lantern Festival with the people. Not only do all the people know that the Emperor exists, but they also know that the Emperor is here."
Liu Changge watched Chen Di point to his heart, understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that Liu doesn't understand the emperor as well as Mr. Chen."
Chen Di straightened an untidy stool and said to Liu Changge: "Liu Commander Shi also has merit, and the historian will never forget you."
Chen Di admired Liu Changge, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Security Bureau.
Today's Daming Security Bureau has not followed the old path of Jinyiwei. In the past six months of operation, it has not arrested anyone without permission or framed a case, which completely dispelled the concerns of the courtiers about the Security Bureau.
Liu Changge puffed out his chest, and an indifferent smile appeared on his angular face.
Leave a name in history and live up to your life!
Chen Di came closer and asked in a low voice: "Commander Liu Shi, is there any new news in Peiping?"
Liu Changge glanced at Chen Di and said warily: "If Mr. Chen wants to know the news, he can go to the cabinet to check Peking's confidential documents. I asked Liu, but I asked the wrong person."
Chen Di laughed and saluted: "Yes, I shouldn't ask you. Hey, I have also read the confidential documents of the cabinet. King Yan was unwell, and the command of the three guards of King Yan was transferred to Zhu Gaochi. But Zhu Gaochi handed over the seals of the three guards of King Yan. The thing was handed over to the commander of the capital, Shi Ping'an."
"In this way, the worries about Peking are finally relieved. However, this is a document written on the third day of the first lunar month. It has been more than ten days now. I don't know when the new report will be sent."
With a smile on his face, Liu Changge said to Chen Di, "It's almost here. Sir, you might as well wait a little longer."
Chen Di was extremely pleased to see Liu Changge's relaxed and happy expression. Needless to say, things in Peking must be making good progress.
If King Yan truly surrenders, then the Ming Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai.
A few months ago, Chen Di was still opposing Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's plan to cut down the feudal vassal. But now the emperor remained calm and managed to avert the crisis from thousands of miles away. Chen Di admired him endlessly.
Murong Jing'er was rehearsing the show on the high platform. This was the first performance of the cultural troupe in the capital. Murong Jing'er did not allow any mistakes. The performances he performed were all personal stunts, and he listened to Zhu Yunwen's opinions. , made some adjustments.
Near dusk, Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui took a dragon boat on the Qinhuai River to Sanshan Bridge, entered Sanshanmenwai Street, and headed to Mochou Lake Xiyuan.
Along the way, the people were jubilant and cheering.
Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui rode in the royal chariot together, waving frequently to signal to the people.
"Long live the Emperor, a thousand lives the Queen!"
I don't know who shouted, and the whole street was filled with thunderous sounds, which continued until Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui led people into the Xiyuan Performance Stage.
Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian and the talented concubine Luo Yan'er also left the palace. Seeing the scene of support from the people and admiration from all the people, they couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty and Queen!"
Xie Jin, Xu Huizu, Chen Di and other officials saluted. Zhu Yun raised his right hand and said: "Everyone, get up. Today is the Lantern Festival. The family and country are reunited, and we should rejoice with all the people."
Zhu Yunwen looked back and saw that there was a space of three feet between the inner court and the outer court, and hundreds of soldiers stood in these positions, all holding shields and hanging long knives on their waists. They were heavily guarded. He couldn't help but frown and looked at Liu Changge. Asked: "I said, don't hinder the people, why is this?"
Liu Changge quickly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, you can only act this way!"
Zhu Yunwen snorted and said sternly: "These are my people. Could it be that the people of Ming Dynasty will harm me? If so, I just stay in the palace, why go out? Remove all the guards, I want to take a look , in front of everyone in the world, who dares to hurt me!"
Liu Changge was in a dilemma. If the crowd was too close and there was no buffer space, what would he do if someone attacked and offended Tianyan? Liu Changge looked at Xu Huizu, Xie Jin and others and motioned for them to say a word.
Xie Jin took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Commander Liu Shi is also thinking about the safety of the Emperor and Queen. If not, let the guards stay in the inner court and withdraw from the outer court."
Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything. Seeing that this was acquiescence, Xie Jin signaled Liu Changge to make arrangements.
As night falls, a bright moon rises in the east and shines into thousands of homes.
Countless people looked at the bright moon behind the high platform. At this moment, the bright moon looked so perfect.
There was a sudden sound of a gong, and the hustle and bustle by Mochou Lake subsided instantly.
A big man came on the stage, his anger was sinking in his Dantian, and he shouted loudly: "On the Lantern Festival, the emperor and empress are here, which is really a grand event. Now, please take the stage to give a speech, the Ming Emperor and Empress."
As Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui climbed onto the high platform, the lights on the stage became brighter. Before the two of them spoke, the noise below was already loud:
"Long live the Emperor, a thousand lives the Queen!"
The sound was like a tidal wave, spreading far and wide through the air.
The gong sounded, and the crowd's noise gradually subsided.
Zhu Yunwen motioned to Ma Enhui to speak first. Ma Enhui managed the harem on weekdays and had seen many big scenes, but compared with today's scene, it was still nothing.
"While we are celebrating the Lantern Festival, I would like to express my wish. May I make it clear that all scholars can display their ambitions, that the people will no longer suffer from hunger and cold, that workers can do their jobs well, and that businessmen can do more righteous deeds for the sake of their family and country. Let me We wish you a bright and prosperous future!"
Ma Enhui shouted loudly.
The people are excited, and the voice of "May the Ming Dynasty last forever" points directly into the sky.
After the sound wave reached three levels, Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and lowered his head. When the heaven and earth were silent, he shouted: "You are the people of the Ming Dynasty and my people. Let us work together as one, overcome the thorns and obstacles, and jointly create the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty!"
The sound echoed out and hit the surface of Mochou Lake. The sound traveled further along the water surface.
Prosperity!
This is a declaration of prosperity!
The people of the capital heard the voice of Shengshi for the first time!
All the people are shouting!
In an instant, countless fireworks took off and exploded into colorful fireworks.
At this time, the bright moon is just a foil.
The Empress of Ming Dynasty is the protagonist!
