All-Heavens Star Chart

The first emperor died, and the whole country was in mourning. Although almost a month has passed, the mourning clothes of officials and people have gone out, but the entire Ming Dynasty is still in place. In the silence.

At least in the past three months or so, this silence will always continue.

Since the first day when the mourning clothes were removed from his body, Zhou Chen has led Ba Dao, Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the three cronies, and the two Bright Gowns under Chen Yun and Xu Yan. Guard Baihusuo, left Guangyang Mansion moved towards the capital and left.

According to the secret decree issued by Emperor Zhengde, Zhou Chen had to leave for the capital to report on his duties on the first day after he was relieved of service. Therefore, he naturally did not dare to be negligent.

After walking for about ten days, Zhou Chen and the others were finally able to faintly see the outline of the capital.

When the news of the funeral was spread from the capital to various places, the banned troops were able to reach Guangyang in just a few days due to the 800-mile expedited method. Fucheng,

However, Zhou Chen and the others did not go so desperately on the road, so they spent a lot of time on the road.

The capital, the political core of the Ming Dynasty, has not been seen for more than three years, but the prosperity within the capital has not changed at all, even more than it was a few years ago. To prosper even more.

It's just that it's the period of the nation's funeral, so the streets in the capital are quieter than before.

This is not to say that the number of pedestrians passing by is sparse, it's just that there is not much noise.

Because all of the things Zhou Chen followed are the elites of Bright Gown Guard, it is undoubtedly a lot smoother when they enter the capital.

Other caravans of common people still need to line up to pass through the city gate, and after Zhou Chen and the others showed the token of Bright Gown Guard, the sergeants stationed at the city gate should be even as Zhou Chen and their entire The group has cleared a channel.

Until Zhou Chen and other entire groups passed the city gate, the defenders were not allowing other people to enter the city.

Looking at the fading back of Zhou Chen and the others, all the faces of the defenders were terrified.

Compared to all places in the Ming Dynasty, the Bright Gown Guard in this capital has the best reputation.

After all, this is at the feet of the emperor, and the position of the emperor’s parent army is undoubtedly highlighted more vividly and thoroughly.

Another point is that the Bright Gown Guard's edict can be set up in the capital. The reputation of the edict is terrifying, not to mention that it can stop children from crying at night, it is definitely not much difference. NS.

So the local people in Beijing are naturally afraid of this Bright Gown Guard the most.

Without any delay or hesitation along the way, Zhou Chen Dangye led a group of Bright Gown Guards such as Ba Dao, Chen Yun and Xu Yan, and went straight to the Imperial Palace in the Forbidden City.

Outside Chengtian Gate, after Zhou Chen reported his identity information to the marching troops on duty, not long after, a smiling middle-aged eunuch walked out of the side gate and moved directly towards Zhou Chen Ying Up here.

While he moved towards Zhou Chen and gave a salute, he laughed and said: "Master Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few months, our family misses you very much!"

The middle-aged eunuch was not a stranger. He was the great Court Eunuch Cao Zhengchun who had dealt with Zhou Chen a lot in the past few years.

As soon as he saw Cao Zhengchun, Zhou Chen’s mouth was also curved. He walked quickly to meet him, cupped the hands and said in return: “In Youyu County a few months ago At the time, didn’t Eunuch Cao say to entertain the official?

Isn’t this? The official came to the capital for Eunuch Cao’s appointment!"

"hahaha! Lord Zhou! I’m really joking. The Holy Master asked our family to welcome Master Zhou. We still don’t know if Master Zhou was called back to the capital by the Holy Master?!"

Cao Zhengchun smiled. He shook the head and said: "The Holy Master is waiting for Master Zhou in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, please come with us!"

After the voice fell, Cao Zhengchun turned slightly and turned one hand to the palace. A quote from within the door signaled Zhou Chen to go first.

It’s just that Zhou Chen’s steps didn’t move at all. He also stretched out his hand and said, "It’s Eunuch Cao first!"

In this regard, Cao Zhengchun He didn’t show any humility, he moved towards Zhou Chen laughed more graciously, and then said: "I would like to ask Master Zhou to go here."

While speaking, Cao Zhengchun led him. After Zhou Chen walked through the side door, moved towards the deep palace inside and walked in.

And Ba Dao, Chen Yun, Xu Yan and other Bright Gown Guards naturally stayed outside this Chengtian Gate and waited.

With their status, they are not yet qualified to enter the Imperial Palace.

Passing through the guards of the palace gates, Zhou Chen finally followed Cao Zhengchun to the gate of Yangxin Temple.

This is Emperor Hongzhi’s favorite office and living place during his lifetime. In order to imitate his Imperial Father, the new emperor Zhengde also chose to work in this Hall of Nourishment.

Outside the gate of the Hall of Nourishment of the Heart, Cao Zhengchun bowed deeply and moved towards the inside of the hall, and said loudly and reported: "Slave Cao Zhengchun, please see the Lord, Zhou Chen, Lord Zhou is here!"

"Xuan!"

In a short time, a melodious and sharp voice came from the hall, proclaiming that Zhou Chen and Cao Zhengchun are two golden temple faces.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen followed Cao Zhengchun and walked into the Hall of Nurturing Heart.

The reason why I say this is because the decoration in the Hall of Nourishment has not changed at all, it is still exactly similar to that of Emperor Hongzhi before his death.

It can be seen that this Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao is also a man of filial piety.

We must know that Emperor Zhengde is still a young man who is naturally jumpy at the moment, how could he like such a simple and crude decoration in the Hall of Yangxin?

If it weren't for the memory of the first emperor Hongzhi, how could Emperor Zhengde keep the decoration and furnishings of this Yangxin Hall?

Walking into the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, Zhou Chen bowed his head and bowed his hands and said: "The official Zhou Chen has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sacred Bow Jinan!"

" Zhen'an!"

I heard Zhou Chen's voice in his ears, and the Emperor Zhengde, who was sitting behind the large bookcase, raised his head. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is here!"

As soon as the words of Emperor Zhengde fell, Zhou Chen lifts the head and said, "this lowly official doesn't dare" !"

As for the emperor Zhengde calling himself Brother Zhou as before, Zhou Chen didn't dare to take it.

Since ancient times, the emperor is a lonely existence. You and the current emperor are called brothers, is it a tired of living?
