Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 12
Zhu Yousong looked at Zheng Hongkui in the dusty world, and in order to make him feel more of the emperor's grace, he sent a decree to grant an imperial banquet.

Soon at the designated place, a designated person served him a table of designated wine and dishes, four dishes and a jug of wine.

Zheng Hongkui ran for a long time, and it was already past dinner time. He was indeed hungry. If he was to eat more, the four dishes and a pot of wine would definitely not be wasted. According to the regulations, Zheng Hongkui just ordered the table of wine and food symbolically with chopsticks, then picked up a glass of wine and poured it on the ground respectfully, and then kowtowed respectfully to the table of wine and food, and then respectfully I respectfully leave.

At this time, if Zheng Hongkui ate all the food and wine on the table, Zhu Yousong would definitely not blame him, but even so, Zheng Hongkui felt that he had been greatly honored and favored, he was very grateful, and his loyalty to the emperor became more determined.

It was already the second watch for the eunuch to send Zheng Hongkui away. Zhu Yousong didn't feel sleepy at all. With some martial arts in his body, and the addition of a loyal bodyguard like Zheng Hongkui, he can throw off his arms and do a big job from tomorrow.

To rectify the court, we must first start from the factory guards. Cleaning the factory guards will definitely be interfered and obstructed by the Ma family and his son. It is just to take this opportunity to eradicate the Ma party and strengthen the imperial power. If necessary, we must kill chickens and monkeys to deter those who are against the court. Lin Dang, today he has taken the first step.

The more he thought about this, Zhu Yousong was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore.He simply got up, practiced his fists and kicks a few times, and danced with his sword for a while. After feeling hearty, he returned to the dragon couch.

Maybe he was really sleepy, this time Zhu Yousong fell asleep very quickly.

The sky was full, and the eunuch on duty came in and gently woke him up, "My lord, it's time to get up and get ready for the morning court."

Zhu Yousong rubbed his eyes, he had slept through these two hours, and he felt refreshed.

The maids and eunuchs helped him dress, comb his hair and wash his hands, and when he put on the dragon robe and the dragon crown, Zhu Yousong in the bronze mirror couldn't believe that the majestic emperor in the mirror was himself?
When the sky seemed to be bright or not, Zhu Yousong got on the dragon chariot, and the eunuchs and maids who accompanied him lined up in an orderly manner. The person in charge of the escort is Jin Yiwei on duty commanding Zu Hai, this is the third in command of Jin Yiwei, with the generals of Jin Yiwei, Qianhu, Baihu and other hundreds of people guarding around the periphery of Luanbi, one by one in fresh clothes and angry horses , Long knives like a forest.

Zhu Yousong gave an order to get up and drove, and the team of thousands of people left the Hall of Martial Arts and rushed to Fengtianmen.

Although this dragon chariot is incomparable with the later BMW Da Ben, it is the most luxurious and noble car in the world, none of them.Zhu Yousong sat in the chariot, and he had a panoramic view of the row upon row of buildings with red walls and green tiles.

At this time, on both sides of the imperial road leading to Jinshui Bridge and Fengtianmen, there are already lined up with pro-military captains, all of them are full of energy, and their helmets are bright. When the dragon chariot arrives, the whip is blown and the staff is held, it is lively and majestic.

At this time, there was another group of troops on the southwest side of the Wuchaomen Square, different from the Jinyiwei who greeted the driver, but the number was several times larger than that of the Jinyiwei. The troops were led by two guard commanders, thousands of Ming soldiers in helmets and armor. Liang is fully armed and ready for battle.

But these troops are not the welcoming ceremony of the emperor's early court, but Ma Shiying's pro-military guards.When Chen Bing went to court outside the Meridian Gate, only Ma Shiying among the officials dared to be so arrogant.

Someone had reported this matter to Zhu Yousong long ago, and Zhu Yousong knew what he knew, and based on this, if the Ma Party is not eliminated, the court will be in trouble.At the same time, he also felt sad for the original owner of this body, being an emperor would be useless for this sake!

When Zhu Yousong was surrounded by everyone and Yu Dao sat on the chair that no one but him dared to sit on in the Jinluan Hall, the palace door opened wide, and a distinctive voice sounded at the entrance of the hall, "It's time for the morning court, civil and military All the officials pay homage to the king!"

All the officials who had been waiting outside the hall habitually adjusted their crowns and shook their robes, holding arc boards, and filed in. After standing still in order of rank, they knelt down neatly and kowtowed, and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" , The sound shook Xiaohan.

Zhu Yousong sat upright on the dragon chair with his head held high, and looked down. At this moment, Zhu Yousong felt the real emperor's aura, but this was half of the country with internal and external troubles. If one day, he really unified Huayi , and then sit in this position to accept the worship of these black hats and beast costumes, what kind of majesty should it be?

Thinking about this, Zhu Yousong felt a little overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to think too much. All the officials were still kneeling after bowing, and the emperor didn't speak, so no one dared to get up.

"Everyone is flat." Zhu Yousong said loudly as he rushed to Jin Jie.

"Long live thanks." After all the civil and military officials thanked in unison, they got up and stood up.

Zhu Yousong looked at the following and said: "My dear friends, before the early court, I have something to make public..."

Zhu Yousong explained last night's will, and the eyes of all civil and military officials fell on Zheng Hongkui, who was wearing a flying fish suit next to Ma Luan, the commander of Jinyiwei, with disbelief on his face, and some even whispered Whispered up.

"Isn't General Zheng in Zhenjiang? When did he enter Beijing?"

"It is said to be last night."

"Your Majesty just issued an order for him to sit in the town to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and he was specially named General Zhenhai. Why is he serving in Jinyiwei again?"

"unknown."……

Zheng Hongkui acted as if he hadn't heard these words, and stood there facing His Majesty with integrity, without saying a word, not even looking evil in his eyes.

At this time, Ma Shiying and Ma Luan did not speak, but their hearts were opened.

Ma Shiying originally thought that the emperor summoned Zheng Hongkui overnight to promote him to be Minister of the Ministry of War. If so, someone would strongly oppose him. This is also the reason why he led the troops to the early court. He did not expect that Zheng Hongkui would be appointed to serve in Jinyiwei, and he felt a little relieved , but such an important guard as Jin Yiwei, transferred a second-in-command, but did not inform him of the number-one's son in advance, it seems a bit strange.

Zhu Yousong paused for a while to see the reactions of all the officials, and then said: "I have been in poor health recently, and I have a backlog of papers. Let the court discuss this morning."

As soon as Zhu Yousong said this, the eunuch Han Zanzhou, the supervisor of ceremonies, hurriedly took a stack of folds from the hand of the eunuch Li Guofu and gently placed them on the Longshu case.

Zhu Yousong casually picked up Li Zhan's booklet, looked at it, then put it down, and fixed his eyes on him.

"Li Zhan, Minister of Taichang Temple?"

"what……"

When Li Zhan heard the emperor calling him to get out of class quickly, he knelt down. Although he, a small minister of Taichang Temple, impeached Jiang Riguang, a scholar of Dongge University, he couldn't hide the fact that Jiang was surnamed, but did the emperor want the court to discuss this matter? thing?In court, is this appropriate?Besides, is there still a need for a court discussion?
Who cares, at this juncture, he has to do something and not do something, for the sake of Governor Ma and for his own future career.

Thinking of this, Li Zhan responded to the emperor with a heartbeat, "My minister is here."

　I was on night shift yesterday, sorry for the lateness.
