Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 581 This woman is very important to us
Xu Zhaohua couldn't calm down for a long time, and he hid in the dark room and cried for a while after making sure that no one found him.

It wasn't until dawn on the second day that Xu Zhaohua opened the door to meet people again, and appeared in Tongzhou City as if nothing had happened.

"Send this letter to Northeast Governor Xia Zhitai as soon as possible!"

After Xu Zhaohua told his confidants, he saw his own people coming to report that all civil and military officials had arrived in Tongzhou City.

Xu Zhaohua obeyed and hurriedly put on the crown and went to invite the queen to the chariot.

"Even five years ago, this old man would never have thought that I, Ming Dynasty, would be able to regain the northern capital, once again rule the world, turn the tide at a time when the country is in peril, and bring prosperity to a peaceful world. My emperor's merits and virtues are unrivaled in all ages!"

Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was in a good mood. Standing outside the city of Tongzhou, he began to express his emotions. He praised Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian especially loudly. He was afraid that Jin Yiwei in the dark would not be able to hear him, and other ministers also shouted.

However, some ministers also followed suit, but felt quite uncomfortable. Minister of the Ministry of War, Ruan Dayue, was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the city, so he took advantage of a free moment to come to Ma Shiying, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council:
"In April, the barley is yellow in the south wind, and the jujube flowers are not falling. After a while, I'm afraid Ruan will have to come down from his position in the Ministry of War and return to his hometown to work in agriculture."

"Why did Da Sima say that, the position of the first assistant has not yet been determined," Ma Shiying said with a smile.

"Don't you see it yet? Why do you think Gao Hongtu is so happy? There is no other reason than welcoming the empress than the emperor. They can see that the emperor still has deep affection for the empress. A son is as precious as a mother, who doesn't know that today's queen loves the eldest son the most, and His Majesty has a deep affection for the queen and sent all the officials to welcome him. Isn't it intentional to elevate Hui Wang's party, isn't it intentional for Gao Hongtu to continue to be the chief assistant of the cabinet? Go on? Gao Hongtu chose me to be Minister of the Ministry of War, but because you were in the southwest at that time, His Majesty forced me to be in charge of the Ministry of War. Now that you have returned to Beijing, how could he, Gao Hongtu, stand you and me in the court at the same time? reason."

Ruan Dayue wanted to say in his heart why he was not the chief assistant of the cabinet, otherwise he would have let Gao Hongtu and other officials go down!

"Don't worry, His Majesty is controlling all of this. The world has just been unified. If Your Majesty doesn't want to change the cabinet chief at will, he won't change the members of the military department at will. Money, food, national taxes are fundamental, and it's not impossible now. These Over the years, I have also learned a lot of useful methods from His Majesty, and you will know it after a while."

After Ma Shiying said with a smile, he saw Xu Zhaohua, the supervisor of rites, coming over, and came to greet him: "Xu Suitang! Don't come here without any problems!"

Gao Hongtu and other officials hurriedly gathered around after hearing this: "Xu Suitang is a woman who does not give way to men, and in the future, Xu Suitang must personally control the affairs of the inner court!"

"After all, it is also my daughter's family. In a few years, we will have to talk about marriage. Everyone, don't forget that back then, His Majesty said that Xia Wanchun, the current Governor of Northeast China, would bestow the marriage. Xia Zhitai is looking for Xu Suitang."

Ma Shiying's mention of this is tantamount to reminding Gao Hongtu, don't try to get Xu Zhaohua from the inner court, if he wants to win over Xu Zhaohua through the Queen's care, he will suggest that His Majesty fulfill the promise of the marriage.

Gao Hongtu could hear Ma Shiying's implication, so he didn't bring up the matter anymore, with a little anger in his smile, and didn't want to talk to Ma Shiying anymore.

In his heart, Xu Zhaohua hated these officials talking about him. Although they were very courteous, they didn't show any respect for him in their words.

She even wanted to get out of here.

"I kept you gentlemen waiting for a long time. The queen mother's phoenix chariot will arrive soon. I think you gentlemen haven't eaten yet. The journey has been exhausting. How can you make you hungry for a long time? Xiao Wang specially ordered someone to cook red date porridge, gentlemen. Taste a bowl, it is estimated that after eating, the queen mother's phoenix chariot will arrive!"

At this time, Hui Wang Zhu Cihong was very respectful and polite, and his words revealed respect for the officials of the empire, and he could even be said to be very considerate.

Gao Hongtu and other officials were very moved, so moved that they even covered their faces and wept. They all praised His Royal Highness King Hui as a respectful and virtuous corporal who treats people with sincerity and love.

Even Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue couldn't help acting on the occasion, and at the same time, they had to admit that His Royal Highness Hui is used to winning people's hearts in these details, otherwise there would not be a large group of officials who still follow His Highness Hui's lead, and their own His Royal Highness King Ding is not as good as King Hui in this respect.

King Hui Zhu Cihong also personally handed a bowl of jujube porridge to Xu Zhaohua, lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday, my king was a little abrupt and offended my sister. I hope my sister will not be as knowledgeable as me. I promise that I will never do such a thing again. , from now on, I will only have business affairs with my sister and have no personal relationship."

Xu Zhaohua really wanted to say that she had never had any personal affair with him, but at this moment she couldn't afford to show embarrassment to the wise King Hui in front of all the officials, so she had to accept the jujube porridge: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift!"

Ruan Dayue saw this scene in his eyes, and exchanged a glance with Ma Shiying: "We must let King Ding get in touch with Xia Zhitai, I feel that this woman is very important to us."

"It's up to you to say that. Now here are all Hui Wang and his people, and Xu Zhaohua is a member of the inner court after all. Hui Wang and the others can talk like brothers and sisters. We can't strike up a conversation, otherwise it will be a great sin. Everything waits After returning to Beijing, tell us not to attack Xu Xianqing first. Before Xu Zhaohua expresses his position, we'd better not get involved with the inner court. If King Hui's party wants to touch it, we don't need to do it, His Majesty will Do it!"

After speaking, Ma Shiying sneered.

Soon, the queen's phoenix chariot drove into Beijing, Xu Zhaohua accompanied the phoenix chariot, and Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan deliberately followed behind Xu Zhaohua.

"Third brother, to tell you the truth, the more I look at her, the more I like her. It's a pity that her figure and butt are like roses, beautiful but prickly!"

Zhu Cihong swallowed his saliva and laughed.

"Brother, if you become the emperor, she is not something that can be easily captured, so why worry, brother, I am already planning, and I will satisfy you when the time comes."

Zhu Cihuan couldn't help sneaking glances at Xu Zhaohua's chest after speaking.

At this moment, Xu Zhaohua also keenly felt that someone was staring at her, so she couldn't help but retract her neck, trying not to expose an inch of her pink neck, and also couldn't help nodding her head to shrink her increasingly protruding chest.

Finally arrived in Beijing.

After Xu Zhaohua bid farewell to Queen Zhou, he hurried back to the Supervisor of Rites on the grounds that he was busy with business.

As soon as she returned to the inner hall of the Prison of Priests, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely relaxed. She suddenly felt that it was good to stay in the Forbidden City, because in the Forbidden City, even princes could not enter the Forbidden City casually.
