I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 48 Lu Gong arrives in Beijing
Inside Kunning Hall.

Looking at the pattering autumn rain outside the window, Li Tianbai played with the ink pen in his hand boredly. It has been five days since the Great Court Meeting, and the huge Ming Empire has not undergone any drastic changes because of his accession to the throne as the new emperor. The original trajectory runs in an orderly manner.

The only thing that has changed may be that Huang Zhun's household reform bureau has become the most powerful yamen in the court, and Zhu Gaoxu has also become the first prince in charge of Jinyiwei in the history of Ming Dynasty.

The original historical trend has become impossible because of Li Tian's arrival.

"Your Majesty, on the autumnal equinox day of Bailu, it will be cool all night, and my concubine should ask the Secretary of Salvation to send some charcoal stoves over."

Empress Zhang demonstrated the tea art in a flowing manner, and said in a warm voice.

"Is it Bailu today?" As a descendant, Li Tian is not sensitive to the so-called 24 solar terms.

Serving the freshly brewed Bailu tea to Li Tian with her own hands, Empress Zhang nodded, with a bit of worry in her eyes and said:

"There is a saying in the market that when it rains in Bailu, it will rain all autumn. Your Majesty, it's raining in the capital, so it's raining heavily in the south."

Li Tian also frowned when he heard the words. Although he didn't believe any common sayings, if it really rained heavily all day in the south, then floods would come.

Sitting and waiting to die has never been Li Tian's character. Glancing at the two Jiang Bao and Wang Fu standing aside, Li Tian said in a deep voice:

"Jiang Bao, go to Qianbu Corridor to pass on my oral order to ask Xia Yuanji to prepare disaster relief supplies in advance, in case of emergencies."

"The old slave complies."

Jiang Bao bowed his hands and walked out quickly.

Seeing Jiang Bao's leaving back enviously, Wang Fu lowered his head and lowered his eyes and said:
"Your Majesty, what is the old servant doing?"

"You?" Li Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wang Fu really wants to fight Jiang Bao for everything, but it doesn't matter if you fight, the more you fight, the more vigorous you are:

"Let Xixin Division send some charcoal stoves, and don't forget to ask them to send some to the concubines in the apse as well."

With an errand, Wang Fu's chubby face suddenly showed joy, and he bowed and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will definitely handle it properly."

It was raining lightly outside, and the hot tea quickly became warm. Li Tian drank half a cup, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Ling'er, look at Wang Fu's naive look, I'm afraid I will pull him down."

Intimately serving new tea for Li Tian and pouring a cup for herself, Queen Zhang covered her mouth and smiled lightly:
"Eunuch Wang's qualifications are not as old as Eunuch Jiang's. Of course, he is worried that His Majesty will forget him, but let the concubines say that Eunuch Wang should really run around more."

"I should let him move more. Look at his chubby face, it can grow bigger in a few days. I don't know how much filial piety I have had during these days."

Watching the drizzle and chatting with Queen Zhang, Li Tian liked the relaxed atmosphere very much, and drank several cups of tea in a short while.

Today's memorial has almost been reviewed, and Li Tian didn't bother to find fault with himself, so he tilted his body and lay directly on the queen's jade legs:
"Ling'er, if you have free time these few days, how about going out of the palace with me?"

"Your Majesty wants to go out of the palace, so I voluntarily accompany you."

Li Tian's intimate behavior made Queen Zhang's heart full of sweetness, and said happily.

With the beauty's elastic jade legs under his pillow, Li Tian was a little distracted, but he has recently practiced the Nine Forms of Guyang to the third form. The third form requires abstinence for seven days to strengthen essence.

In order to be more fierce in the future, Li Tian will naturally not destroy the Great Wall himself, but it must be okay to be gentle.

Caressing the smooth and tender skin of Empress Zhang, Li Tian suddenly remembered the brother-in-law who caused him trouble, and said casually:
"Ling'er, my brother-in-law has returned to his hometown?"

Although there was no one in the huge side hall, Empress Zhang still blushed with embarrassment, bent her body and tried to cover those dishonest hands, and said in response:
"I have already sent someone to drive that brat back to Pengcheng."

Li Tian was worried that the queen's younger brother would be involved in the next purge in the capital, which would make it difficult for him. When he heard that Zhang Yongri had returned to Pengcheng, Li Tianen let out a sigh and murmured:
"That's good. As soon as Lu Gong arrives, I'm ready to do it."

"Your Majesty, the old slave is back."

Jiang Bao's respectful voice came from outside the hall, and Empress Zhang's expression changed drastically, she hurriedly pulled Li Tian's big hand out of her clothes, and said in embarrassment:
"Let Eunuch Jiang see the concubine like this, how will the concubine see people in the future?"

Li Tian smiled, got up unhurriedly and said:
"How did Xia Yuanji reply?"

The emperor didn't call to enter, and Jiang Bao didn't dare to enter the hall, he just clapped his hands outside the hall and said:
"Lao Shangshu Xia said that His Majesty will take care, and the household department will start the matter of relief supplies today."

As soon as Jiang Bao finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around and saw Huang Yan who was wearing a coir raincoat and coming in the rain.
Hurry up and say:
"Your Majesty, Admiral Huang is here."

Huang Yan also saw Jiang Bao, took off his coir raincoat, and hurriedly said:

"Director Jiang, Your Majesty can stay in the hall, our family has something important to report."

Jiang Bao was about to speak, but saw that the emperor had already walked quickly, Li Tian also saw Huang Yan, and immediately said:

"I'm here, has Lu Gong arrived in Beijing?"

Seeing Li Tian, ​​Huang Yan hurriedly bowed to the ground and said respectfully:
"Returning to Your Majesty, Lu Gong arrived in Beijing half a quarter ago, and is now in Dongchang."

Looking at Huang Yan's wet and dripping robe, Li Tian understood that Huang Yan must have been reported by Lu Gong as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and made a note of Huang Yan in his heart, and quickly said:

"You go to the side hall to change your clothes first, and immediately go with me to Dongchang to interrogate Lu Gong after changing."

The courtiers are often moved because of these small things, Huang Yan felt warm in his heart, and bowed deeply:
"Old slave, go here."

After Huang Yan changed into dry clothes, Jiang Bao had already arranged the carriage. Li Tian greeted the queen and got into the carriage directly:
"Come in, now is not the time to be formal with me, I still have something to ask."

It is a great favor to ride with the emperor, and to Huang Yan and Jiang Bao, two people who have made mistakes, it is like rain from heaven.

But when they got into the carriage, Huang Yan and Jiang Bao still didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Li Tianping, so they simply squatted in the corner of the carriage together.

Seeing this, Li Tian didn't bother to say anything more. To win over people's hearts, just stop at it. Repeated favors will only appear hypocritical.

There is a charcoal stove that has already been burned in the carriage. Li Tian didn't feel cold, so he leaned on the cushion and said:

"Lu Gong didn't know that Ji Mian was dead, so how did he react to my dismissal of him as commander?"

Huang Yan squatted down and bowed, respectfully said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lu Gong didn't know that Ji Mian was dead. As soon as Lu Gong entered Beijing, he was invited to Dongchang by the old slave. It seems that Lu Gong didn't care about His Majesty dismissing him."
