Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 51
After Zhu Youxiao issued the decree, he asked Lu Xiangsheng to re-register the more than [-] officers and soldiers who could follow him to the top of the mountain.

The other officers and soldiers were naturally expelled from the barracks by Zhu Youxiao.

However, in order to prevent these eliminated officers and soldiers from complaining and causing conflicts, and causing too much turmoil in the reform of the army, Zhu Youxiao still retained his original official title and treatment for military officers. A generous severance silver was given.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao inspected the Gyeonggi garrison, not only did not expand the troops, but abolished most of the troops, and the entire Gyeonggi garrison was almost empty.

The point is, Zhu Youxiao also spent more than [-] taels in one go.

Fortunately, he has sufficient internal funds now, so he can squander them at will for many years. What's more, these officers and soldiers are wasting money and food for raising them. Now they are directly abolished.

Zhu Youxiao walked down the mountain back to the Beijing Camp Campus, and then went directly to the Yamen of the Beijing Camp Intervention Hall.

Here, Wang Chengen had already ordered hot water to be prepared, Zhu Youxiao simply took a bath and washed, then changed into dry clothes and entered the dragon chariot under the watchful eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and other officials.

As soon as Liu Rushi in Longchao saw Zhu Youxiao coming in, he hurriedly got up and lowered his head, not daring to look up at Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao felt a little strange seeing her like this, and asked with a slight smile, "Are you hungry?"

"My servant is not hungry," Liu Rushi replied in a low voice.

Seeing that she seemed to be cheerful when she didn't come, Zhu Youxiao thought she had something on her mind, so she fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier and asked, "Why are you upset, tell me."

"Your Majesty, you just killed someone!"

It was the first time to see His Majesty, who is usually gentle and courteous, kill people directly. For a little girl who was only eight or nine years old, the shock was not small.

Perhaps, at this time, Liu Rushi realized that this seemingly gentle, courteous and frugal man in front of him was actually an emperor who held the power of life and death. If he was a little careless, his head would fall like that man just now.

Therefore, Liu Rushi, who is small but precocious in mind, will also become a little uneasy when Zhu Youxiao returns.

Zhu Youxiao was also silent for a moment, then got up and grabbed Liu Rushi's little hand, and pulled her to the brazier: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a tiger, don't stay too far away from the brazier, be careful of catching cold."

"Well", Liu Rushi nodded, not daring to disobey Zhu Youxiao's wishes, her two watery eyes secretly stared at Zhu Youxiao, and then withdrew her eyes, like a mouse standing with a cat .

Zhu Youxiao was not angry because of Liu Rushi's childish words, and said to himself: "I don't want to kill people, but if I don't kill them, they will kill me, you, and Daming Thousands of people, also harmed my thousands of years of glory in China."

"Can we not kill people, just arrest them?" Liu Rushi answered innocently.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, touched her little head, and didn't say anything. In his opinion, Liu Rushi is still a child and doesn't understand that politics is always a game of life and death. Even if he told her, She couldn't understand that, just like Zhu Youxiao himself, he who was supposed to save the sick and save the sick became ruthless without knowing it, even though he was for the whole world.

The snow had finally stopped, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the bright yellow dragon chariot, and the chained shafts creaked in the snow.

And the flying fish suit Jin Yiwei who was with him also became a snowman, and Wang Chengen, who had been waiting outside, also had gray hair at this time.

But at this time, the whole world looks particularly bright, and the field of vision is much wider, from the snow-capped Forbidden City to the traces of snow-capped mountains in the distant sky.

After looking outside for a while, Zhu Youxiao put down the car curtain, and continued to study while half lying on the Kang Kang. At this time, Liu Rushi, who was sitting by the brazier, was already dozing off on his lap.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's dragon chariot entered the inner court, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly rushed to Kunning Palace to report, following the edict of the empress empress Zhang Yanzhi.

Now Zhu Youxiao no longer lives in Qianqing Palace, but simply lives with his queen and Yao Xuan, so it doesn't seem deserted.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Youxiao entered the inner court, he went to Kunning Palace. Zhang Yan also brushed the snow off Zhu Youxiao's body like an ordinary wife, took off her cloak, and handed Zhu You the newly heated thermos school.

Zhu Youxiao gave Liu Rushi the thermos directly, and then simply held Zhang Yan's jade hand to keep warm. Zhang Yan's pretty face flushed: "Sister Yao is still here?"

"What's the matter? It's not once or twice that you serve me on the couch together. Since you are at home, you don't have to pay so much attention." Zhu Youxiao said and waved to Yao Xuan: "Come here too, sit next to me Come."

Yao Xuan could let go when he was having fun on the couch, with boundless waves, but he was more cautious than Zhang Yan in normal times, and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "I don't dare to do it myself", and then sat halfway down.

There are many red tapes in the palace, Yao Xuan must abide by them so much, Zhu Youxiao can't force him, he lay on his back on the dragon couch, Ge You came up and told the maid below: "Pass the meal, I've been busy all day outside, I'm really hungry .”

Empress Zhang Yan couldn't help but smiled and nodded slightly to the accompanying female officer, and the female officer passed it on to the little yellow gate at the door, who clapped her palms towards the outside.

After a while, four or five little Huangmen came in with red sandalwood boxes and began to set meals in the cubicle behind the screen, while the little Huangmen next to Zhu Youxiao wisely went to pick up chopsticks and start testing the poison.

After the little Huangmen who tested the poison nodded, the female officer next to Zhang Yan came to Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan: "Your Majesty, your majesty can eat now."

Zhang Yan helped Zhu Youxiao and walked behind the screen, saying: "Didn't the concubine ask Xiao Rushi to prepare some pastries for you, because I was afraid that your majesty would be hungry, didn't Xiao Rushi remind you?"

"Don't talk about it, the mung bean cake that was just presented was eaten by this greedy little girl!"

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he tapped Liu Rushi's forehead, and Liu Rushi quickly pouted and explained: "Go back to your mother, it was His Majesty who let the servant girl eat."

Knowing that Zhu Youxiao was teasing Liu Rushi, Zhang Yan just smiled.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked, "Where is the Ke family?"

"Mom is sick, and she is resting now, and the concubine didn't let her come to serve her." After Zhang Yan said, Zhu Youxiao nodded. Seeing that Liu Rushi was still in front of him, he pointed at the soft stew Pig's trotter soup, said: "Xiao Rushi, serve two dishes to honor your grandma, it will be regarded as my reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En", Liu Rushi responded and left with the pig's trotter soup.

Zhang Yan couldn't say that it was a breast augmentation thing she specially ordered the imperial dining room to prepare for herself, so she glared at Zhu Youxiao and sat down first.

After dinner, without chatting for a long time, Zhu Youxiao dismissed the maids and eunuchs, closed the palace door, and dragged the queen and Yao Xuan into the back room.

Needless to say, it was a beautiful night.
