Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 60 The Eight Years of Apocalypse Begins Here

Due to the limitation of etiquette, Zhu Youxiao could only let [-] military officers and students spend New Year's Eve with him on the square outside Qianqingmen.

But for military cadets, being able to spend New Year's Eve with the present day is considered a supreme honor. Even if they can't be reunited with their families at this time, they are satisfied in their hearts.

Seventeen tall and long tables have been arranged on the left and right sides of the white marble platform. In addition to [-] military officers and students standing straight in a row waiting for Zhu Youxiao's order, Lu Xiangsheng's family has already been seated at the invitation of Queen Zhang Yan.

At this time, a stage was also set up on the square in the center, and famous wines from all over the place were placed aside.

The surrounding area has already been filled with red lanterns, and the pillars are covered with flowers of various colors made of paper, especially the red ones.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting side by side with his queen on the pedestal, raised his wine glass and said, "Take a seat", and all the officers shouted "Yes!" in unison, and then took their seats in an orderly manner.

For a moment, the queen couldn't help admiring when she saw this: "These sons and daughters are all so energetic, they are really mighty and extraordinary, Your Majesty."

"Are they as powerful as I am?" Zhu Youxiao dishonestly put his hand on Queen Zhang Yan's thigh, causing the Queen to stare at him like a phoenix, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be more self-respecting."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, and returned to his usual serious look, raising his wine glass: "Come on, today is New Year's Eve, and the New Year is approaching. At this banquet, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, but only friendship. You don't have to be restrained."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officers and students hurriedly toasted together to respond to Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao found that one of the thirty officers and students was missing, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Aiqing, why is there one missing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the absent person is Tan Botong, an officer student in the No. D room of the Xuanzi No. [-] Room. He has no face to see His Majesty because he still has not reached the standard. , so it was never mentioned.”

After Lu Xiangsheng answered, the other officers and students smiled slightly.

"If that's the case, don't worry about him, let's drink," Zhu Youxiao raised his glass and poured the wine into his mouth, and turned it upside down after drinking it in one gulp.

"Your Majesty has a good drinker!"

Aobai and some open-minded military cadets couldn't help admiring loudly, and hurriedly drank up the wine. It seemed that at this moment, they had drawn a lot closer to their majesty.

As soon as the officers and students finished drinking, Zhu Youxiao asked the little yellow door next to them to refill the wine for them. These officers and students were more relaxed, and they all stood up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and Queen Zhang Yan: "Today's New Year's Eve , Thank you, Your Majesty, the empress for your gift, I am so grateful, congratulations to your majesty, the empress, for your longevity and well-being!"

Zhu Youxiao felt a little awkward for these officers and students to say some polite congratulatory speeches in front of him, even the queen Zhang Yan couldn't help but hide her face and snigger.

However, it can be seen that the congratulations of these officers and students are all out of sincerity, so Zhu Youxiao directly slapped the table and cheered: "Very good, everyone is my hope for the future of Ming Dynasty, I have you guys Haoerlang protects the country for me, why should I worry about not being able to live a happy and healthy life! Here, I also wish you all the sons and daughters to make contributions and careers as soon as possible, and become more officials and marquises!"

Because of the alcoholic attack, coupled with the golden words of His Majesty, these officers and students couldn't help but feel excited for a while, wishing to immediately straddle the horse and win the head of the general among the millions of troops and present it to Zhu Youxiao, so that Live up to Jun En!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that he will go through fire and water in the future, and he will not hesitate!"

The heroic spirit of the military officers and students was completely mobilized by Zhu Youxiao, and unlike the previous emperors who grew up in deep palaces, Zhu Youxiao did not appear to be pretentious, so he condescended to drink with these officers and students.

Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Chengen and other accompanying officials couldn't help but smile at each other. They can see now that His Majesty is not the same Majesty as before. After recovering from a serious illness, His Majesty first demoted Wei Zhongxian, and then used thunder to eliminate Donglin and copy Jin. Shang, his methods have to be said to be more iron-blooded, and his emperor's mind is also more familiar.

Now, in front of a group of military officers and students, His Majesty, who has never touched a drop of alcohol, can still be proud, and drink happily with the military officer who is unwilling to look at him by a group of civil servants.

Anyone who understands can see that His Majesty is trying to win the hearts of the army, and he is not willing to be a puppet locked in the Forbidden City. Although he is no longer a puppet, all the courtiers present here know that His Majesty's goal is not just to be a conservative king.

"Back then, the Emperor Taizu was originally a commoner in Huaiyou. He started his business with 24 disciples of Huaixi, and finally wiped out Beiyuan and restored our Huaxia. Now I have thirty young heroes. They should not lose the glory of our ancestors back then! Come on! Dry!"

Most of the sitting officers and students were selected from the Beijing camp, and most of them are descendants of Huaixi Xunqi. Now when they hear Zhu Youxiao praise their ancestors for their glory, they all feel very high-spirited.

On New Year's Eve this time, it seemed that Zhu Youxiao and the military cadets had become the main characters, while the others were just a foil, but everyone couldn't leave, so they could only wait.

The drunkenness became stronger for a while, and under the persuasion of Queen Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao refrained a little, and ordered a few plays in which Yue Fei served the country faithfully and Huo Qubing conquered the Huns.

The exciting battle drums and clanging gongs and the wonderful fighting of the martial arts students on the stage made all the officers and students blush when they heard it.

After the play was over, Zhu Youxiao was already very drunk, fell asleep in the arms of Queen Zhang Yan and closed his eyes, none of the officers and students dared to laugh at his Majesty, even Oboi couldn't help but be more sure of himself and Ding Knowing the Ming Lord, with such a Ming emperor around, no matter how brave the Houjin warriors are, it would be difficult for Daming to succumb one step.

When Zhu Youxiao woke up the next day, it was almost midnight.

It was just the last time Zhu Youxiao got up since he came to the Ming Dynasty, but when he heard the command of the officers and students in the distance, he couldn't help turning over immediately: "Change clothes!"

"Your Majesty, you drank too much yesterday, why don't you sleep more today?" Queen Zhang Yan came in at this time and asked with concern.

"No need, my head hurts even more if I sleep again. Who makes me the emperor? The ministers have holidays, but I don't." Zhu Youxiao said and put on his shoes. The queen ordered Liu Rushi to go to the imperial banquet when she saw that she could not persuade Fang Chuan came for lunch, and she personally combed Zhu Youxiao's hair and tied it in a bun, and said: "Everyone wants to be an emperor, so you can watch it. This emperor has no meaning at all, and he is exhausted."

"My dear concubine, if you can hold your breath, give me another dragon son. When he grows up, I will pass on the throne to him, and then I will become the Supreme Emperor myself. It will be easy."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, the queen immediately lowered her head and remained silent for a while.

Zhu Youxiao knew that he had slipped his tongue, so he walked out of the hall with an embarrassed smile, stretched his body and said, "My great tomorrow will start eight years from now!"
