It snowed all night.
The entire palace is covered in silver, majestic and solemn.
Yesterday, as soon as the snow fell, Zhu Jianshen issued an order to avoid today's court meeting for the sake of officials.
At midnight, the eunuchs will clear the snow in Qianqing Palace.
Therefore, when Zhu Jianshen got up and left Qianqing Palace, he saw no snow.
Today will be the seventh year of Chenghua.
Zhu Jianshen first went to the Queen Mother's place to say hello, had breakfast, chatted with the Queen Mother all morning, and made the Queen Mother laugh non-stop.
At noon, he went to his biological mother, Concubine Zhou, for lunch. After eating, Zhu Jianshen did not stay in the palace for long, but went straight to the palace of Queen Qian, the Queen Mother Yi'an, to pay her respects.
After arriving, I saw that Queen Mother Yi'an was also eating. At the end of the year, Queen Mother Yi'an only ate some vegetarian food.
I still pray for my father who is studying in Mongolia.
"Queen Mother Yi'an, I've come to pay your respects."
Queen Mother Yi'an glanced at Zhu Jianshen and said, "It has been more than seven years. When will Your Majesty want to bring your father back?"
As long as Zhu Jianshen comes to the palace, Queen Mother Yi'an will mention Zhu Qizhen.
However, because the last time she lost her composure, everyone around her was punished, so Queen Mother Yi'an no longer had any harsh words.
"I have been thinking about this matter. When Xu Du Yushi comes back, I will ask him to go to Mongolia to see his father. If possible, bring his father back as soon as possible." Zhu Jianshen said quickly.
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Queen Mother Yi'an's eyes became brighter.
That is hope, expectation, and longing for many years...
"Your Majesty, is it true?"
"I will work hard. Queen Mother Yi'an will take care of herself." Zhu Jianshen said slowly.
Zhu Jianshen's feelings have never changed.
He did not feel that he owed his father Zhu Qizhen. He was worthy of his ancestors, the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty.
But I only owe it to the woman in front of me.
Zhu Jianshen returned to Qianqing Palace in a bad mood.
And Zhang Bao also brought good news to Zhu Jianshen.
Xu Youzhen has entered Beijing and is now waiting for His Majesty's summons outside the palace gate.
This news really made Zhu Jianshen a little excited, and he hurriedly summoned him into the palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, wait for a while.
Zhu Jianshen met Xu Youzhen, who was tired of life.
This guy has some frostbite on his face and his hair is a little messy. He doesn't look like an important minister of the country, but more like a refugee fleeing a famine.
Of course, this is also Xu Youzhen's little trick.
However, this little trick was very useful to Zhu Jianshen. He was moved and even felt a little sorry for Xu Youzhen. As for his senses, it was improved to another level.
In Zhu Jianshen's opinion, he is not afraid of his ministers pretending, but he is afraid that his ministers are not even willing to pretend.
If you want to pretend to love and respect the people, you must first make yourself such a person. No matter what your starting point is, as long as the process is good, that is enough.
As usual, after seeing Zhu Jianshen, Xu Youzhen first knelt down and cried loudly.
"Your Majesty, I, I really miss your Majesty day and night." As she said that, Xu Youzhen rubbed her eyes and glanced at Zhu Jianshen out of the corner of her eye.
Your Majesty has become much more heroic...
"I also miss the censor of Xudu. Did this go well?" Zhu Jianshen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the sky is full of blessings. Everything goes well. When we entered Beijing, there was heavy snowfall all over the country. The auspiciousness can no longer be hidden. Next year, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe. Everything will go well and win." Xu Youzhen said quickly.
"I have one more thing, I want Xu Du Yushi to help me do it?"
"Your Majesty, no matter what your orders, wherever you go this time, I will do my best and die." Xu Youzhen hurriedly made a guarantee.
"Mongolia."
Hearing these two words, Xu Youzhen's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, why do you want me to go to Mongolia?"
"The Queen Mother Yi'an misses her father very much. I want you to go see my father. If Mongolia agrees, I can let my father return to Beijing." Zhu Jianshen said slowly.
"Your Majesty, that minister has not been with your Majesty well this year. Why don't you go to someone else? I think that Wang Wen is good, so let him go."
Good guy, who dares to stop this job?
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, his expression became a little bad.
"I'm not asking you to leave now. I'm asking you to find a time to go next year."
"But, your Majesty, I can't go."
"Why?"
"On the trip to Qinyang, I did everything personally. Now, I have an unspeakable secret and I can no longer travel far." Xu Youzhen said with an aggrieved look.
"But you just said that you would do your best for me until you die. Now you are unwilling to share my worries and solve my problems with such a small and unspeakable secret."
"Your Majesty, if it is about other matters, I will definitely have nothing to say, but the matter concerning the Emperor is too important. It is better to report it to the Queen Mother first, and then discuss it with Yu Taibao and others."
"Don't worry about this. I will tell this matter to Grandma Huang and also to the Taibao."
Xu Youzhen looked embarrassed. If she had known that His Majesty wanted her to see the Supreme Emperor, she would not have rushed to the capital in such a hurry.
It seems that after I go down, I will discuss with Yu Taibao how to deal with this matter.
…………
In a deep house.
Zhu Qizhen's family was having a dinner party.
Five of the eight women were holding children.
Four princes and one princess.
It's hard to say whether these women will have any status in the future, but the children of Zhu Qizhen are all members of the old Zhu family, with golden branches and jade leaves, sons and grandsons of dragons. He is destined to be famous and influential in the future.
The eldest will soon be six years old, and the youngest is less than one year old.
He hasn't even registered his clan status yet.
The children are very active, sometimes crying and shouting, sometimes bursting into laughter. The rules for women in this deep house are not strict, and they are all chattering.
Zhu Qizhen said nothing and walked out of the room after finishing the meal.
He sighed leisurely: "It's another year..."
Zhu Qizhen was imprisoned here. Even his children and his women, like Zhu Qizhen, could not step out of this deep house.
At this time, the housekeeper and eunuch of the deep house came over.
"Your Majesty, Master Leng is here to wish you well and wish you a happy new year."
For so many years, the only official I have seen is Magistrate Leng.
This was also Zhu Qizhen's hope of escaping. He also used many methods to promise a high-ranking official, a generous salary, and a name in history. However, this guy had no luck, but Zhu Qizhen did not dare to give up.
I just thought that with my perseverance, one day I would be able to move heaven, earth, and Magistrate Leng.
Let him take him on another century-long escape. After returning to the capital, he will clear out Chao Gang and take his whole family back.
After Zhu Qizhen heard the eunuch's announcement, he went directly to the lobby without stopping.
Leng Kuang was standing in the lobby. When he saw Zhu Qizhen entering the room, he hurriedly saluted: "Leng Kuang, a humble minister, has met the Supreme Emperor."
"Bingshen." Zhu Qizhen said, helping Leng Kuang up, and then said: "Prefect Leng, we are not in the palace now. You and I are friends, not monarchs and ministers. There is no need to kneel down when you see me next time."
Leng Kuang said softly: "There is a difference between a monarch and his ministers, Your Majesty."
After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he sighed and sat on the main seat.
"My eldest son is ten years old, and I don't know if he misses me." Zhu Qizhen said coldly.
Now Zhu Qizhen is a little dissatisfied with Zhu Jianshen. You said that your six or seven-year-old kid can't decide anything, and there is no way to get your father out. But now you are ten years old. Now that I’m an older child, I should be able to make some decisions...
Why don't you think of a solution? Are you like me, who only knew how to play when you were ten years old? But when I was ten years old, I often thought about my father and woke up crying in my dreams late at night. You guys are a bit ruthless.
"Of course Your Majesty misses the Emperor." Leng Kuang also heard the dissatisfaction in Zhu Qizhen's words and said quickly.
"Then when can I return to the capital?"
Leng Kuang thought for a while and said: "In ten years, when His Majesty's eldest son is born and the whole country celebrates, it will be the day when the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital. When the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital, he can directly become the emperor's grandfather."
At the beginning, Yu Qian and others discussed with the Empress Dowager that they would bring Zhu Qizhen back after Zhu Jianshen got married and took office.
But now they have changed their mind.
Wait until Zhu Jianshen gives birth to the child before bringing him back...
Yu Qian also told Leng Kuang about this arrangement, which probably meant telling Leng Kuang that he would have to work harder for a few more years.
After hearing Leng Kuang's words, Zhu Qizhen's face instantly turned ugly.
What, you want me to stay in this deep palace for ten years.
This is a joke.
If he waits another ten years, he will catch up with his father's age, and it is not certain whether he can live that long.
Historically, Zhu Qizhen did die during this time period.
"Whose idea was this? What should I do with my children? Now they don't even have clan registration. You can tell me to ask my children to return to Beijing first."
"Your Majesty, I do not have the authority to report the matter of the Supreme Emperor Chen. Your Majesty still thinks that the Supreme Emperor is in Mongolia."
"I am here today. Firstly, I wish the Supreme Emperor a happy New Year. Secondly, I want to tell the Supreme Emperor that if nothing unexpected happens, in March and April, there will be officials from the capital coming to visit the Supreme Emperor..."
After Xu Youzhen left the Qianqing Palace, she went down to find Yu Qian and informed Yu Qian that His Majesty asked him to go to Mongolia to see the Supreme Emperor.
Yu Qian knew that Zhu Jianshen could accomplish most of the things he wanted to do, so he wrote a letter to Leng Kuang and told him to make more preparations. If Xu Youzhen just had a look, that would be it. If he really wanted to take the Emperor When he returns to the capital, he will be beaten with sticks...
Zhu Qizhen was shocked when he heard the officials coming from the capital. This was another opportunity.
"Who is it? Which beloved?"
"Xu Youzhen."
"What..." Zhu Qizhen exclaimed. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Is it the Xu Youzhen who scolded him so badly?
