Chapter Seventy-One: The Great Meeting

Zhu Qizhen and the Sun family talked for a while, and Wang Zhen whispered beside him: "Master, the time has come." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Queen Mother, the child is gone. ”

Sun watched Zhu Qizhen leave.

At the moment when the sun rose, the sun shone on the earth, and there was not much warmth, only coldness, and Zhu Qizhen also felt the biting coldness.

Even though he was wearing a thick cotton jacket, he still couldn't stop the cold.

The drums sounded in unison, and all kinds of musical instruments whose names Zhu Qizhen said were played, all of which were court music. The rhythm is slow and melodious, but it gives a solemn feeling.

Zhu Qizhen came to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace surrounded by countless guards.

The main hall of the Qianqing Palace has changed greatly.

Twenty-four yellow flags, with all kinds of patterns on them, most of them are various patterns on the Classic of Mountains and Seas. These exotic beasts, above the flag, float up and down with the wind.

Originally, Zhu Qizhen was supposed to be held in the Fengtian Palace, but after the three major halls were burned, they had not been built and could only be temporarily placed in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen followed the central axis of the Forbidden City and entered the Qianqing Palace from the main gate by car.

Along the way, Zhu Qizhen found that it was separated by the central axis, and the civil and military officials were separated on both sides.

Zhu Qizhen saw some familiar and some unfamiliar faces.

After Zhu Qizhen sat on the throne in front of the Qianqing Palace.

The Great Pilgrimage began.

The first to come to the court was King Yue.

During the Hongwu period, the vassal king also came to participate in the court meeting, but later, it was completely exempted. King Yue and Zhu Qiyu were two princes in Beijing.

It's just that Zhu Qiyu is still too young.

The Empress Dowager was in charge and exempted Zhu Qiyu from participating.

So King Yue was the first.

King Yue saluted in front of Zhu Qizhen's imperial case, and then shouted three times Long live.

Zhu Qizhen comforted a few more words and said, "Uncle Wang is hard. However, in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, King Yue is really hard.

The major affairs of the country are in worship.

Now, on the whole, there is no big war in the Ming Dynasty, and a little friction on the nine sides is just a small problem. But all kinds of sacrifices are inevitable.

The emperor can't come in person, so he naturally has to do it on his behalf.

And the one who acts the most is King Yue.

And King Yue's body was not very good in the first place. Many things did make King Yue's body have even worse signs.

Zhu Qizhen looked at King Yue's face badly. Privately instructed Wang Zhen to send the imperial doctor to stay in the palace of the king of Yue.

After the king of Yue, it is the nobles of each family.

Although the late Ming Dynasty was a civil and military scholar, in the construction of the Ming Dynasty, it was a martial artist, so in the order of the Great Dynasty, it was obvious that the nobles were before the civil officials.

The leader is naturally Zhang Fu.

In addition to Zhang Fu, there are also Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo.

Zhu Qizhen's attention was mainly on Xu Jingchang.

It's just that I was a little disappointed when I saw Xu Jingchang.

Because it's very simple, Xu Jingchang is old.

Zhu Qizhen knew that Dingguo Gong wanted to select talents, so he had to choose from the next generation. It's just that the Ming Dynasty has never been as good as the generation.

Xu Jingchang is estimated to be inferior to his father Xu Zengshou.

Now even if it is Xu Zengshou, although this prince of the country was exchanged for his life, Xu Zengshou himself will not fight.

As for the Ming Dynasty, there are two other princes, one is the Duke of Wei and the other is the Duke of Qian. However, one is in Nanjing and the other is in Yunnan, and neither has arrived.

Immediately the following kinds of nobles.

Most of them are heroes of the appeasement.

Everyone in Zhu Qizhen watched carefully, and there were some veterans among them, but they were in good spirits, and they looked like they were old and still able to go into battle.

But more often than not, the younger generation. There are even a few who don't look like adults.

But there is no way.

The fathers are gone, and the title is passed on to them, and they are naturally qualified to attend the court.

Zhu Qizhen said secretly: "Qinghuang is not accepted." ”

Before, Zhu Qizhen knew that the Ming generals had signs of being green and yellow, but on paper, it was shallow, and today he really took a look at the lineup of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really old.

It seems that you can still go into battle, but how many years can you play? Zhu Qizhen's heart became more and more worried. However, on the whole, the generals of the Ming Dynasty can still hold the scene.

Some of the officers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, although they do not have titles on them, they still seem to have spirit.

Of course, that's all Zhu Qizhen can see?

Sometimes it is impossible to tell whether they can fight or not, but some people are already trembling in front of the emperor and look very nervous, expecting them to be calm and calm in the midst of thousands of troops, but they can't.

There were a few military attachés who performed well, and Zhu Qizhen ordered Wang Zhen to write them down one by one, and after he went back, he would look through their resumes carefully.

Then came the civil service. There are more civil servants.

Yamen at all levels in Beijing, officials of the seventh rank and above, are qualified to come to the court.

After Zhu Qizhen met with the civil officials in front of him, such as Sanyang, Hu Hu, Wang Ji, and other ministers, the servants and chiefs in the back all met in batches.

Before, when Zhu Qizhen looked at the military generals, he still put some thought into it, but when he looked at the civil officials, he became serious about the process.

Suddenly, the eunuch beside him shouted: "Shuntian prefect Yu Qian." ”

A minister in his thirties stepped forward to salute and shouted three long live.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly cheered up and looked at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian looked very serious, a little thin, with a long beard, and a bit of a southerner. Zhu Qizhen asked, "You are Yu Qian." ”

"Back to Your Majesty." Yu Qian also said with a glance: "Exactly." ”

Zhu Qizhen had something to ask Yu Qian, but he knew that this was not the time to speak.

It can be said that the time for meeting with each person is prescribed. From the princes, nobles, civil officials, and envoys, it was exactly noon, and it was a big feast at that time.

Even Zhu Qizhen can delay too much time.

If you delay for a long time, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yu Qing has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief and rewarded a sword. Immediately, Zhu Qizhen untied a sword he was equipped with and handed it to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen was taken aback, but he didn't know that this mere Yu Qian had such a big weight in the emperor's place. Although my heart was full of puzzlement, I didn't dare to slack off.

He took the sword with both hands.

Stepping back, he presented his hands to Yu Qian and said, "Lord Yu, don't live up to Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Yu Qian was also taken aback and slightly stunned. Immediately took it with both hands, then put it aside, saluted, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Immediately a eunuch called out the name of the next official.

Yu Qian picked up the long sword with both hands again and retreated step by step.

And the next officer came up.

For a time, the name Yu Qian spread all over the world. Become the center of attention in the world.

Every conversation between Zhu Qizhen and his subordinates, more than a dozen eunuchs with loud voices shouted loudly, so that everyone in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace could hear it.

This sudden rise of Yu Qian was naturally heard in the ears.

For a while, everyone secretly turned their heads and ears to listen to Yu Qian's details.

Although Yu Qian was the governor of a province before, his name above the officialdom has not yet reached the point where everyone knows it. So much so that the imperial history, which maintained discipline, frequently came out of the ranks, and only then did he press down the momentum of this head-to-ear.

Yu Qian returned to his position, and everywhere he passed, everyone's eyes fell on the imperial sword in Yu Qian's hand, and all kinds of officials saw Yu Qian and saluted and retreated.

And Yu Qian, under the hands of Shuntianfu, also bowed down one by one, and his attitude towards Qian was completely different.

Yu Qian saw all this in his heart, his face was silent, and he looked peaceful, but he was inexplicably moved in his heart.

Look at the long sword in your hand.

It's obvious that the emperor didn't create the sword to reward people. The dragon relief on it swims incessantly with the sunlight on the scabbard.

It's like being alive. But there are two words on the hilt: "Righteousness." ”

This sword is for Zhu Qizhen's own use, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't need to go into battle, with a sword, the only use is probably to kill himself. So Zhu Qizhen engraved the word Zhengxin.

It was also when Zhu Qizhen said that he was rewarded, and he had not prepared before, so he gave this sword away.

Yu Qian didn't know this, but he knew, and now everyone in the world thinks that Yu Qian has a special encounter today, and if he doesn't want to repay him with death, he can't do it.

Even Yu Qian himself thought so.
