"Liu Hong listens to the seal!"

Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, and went straight to the point.

Liu Hong was stunned when he saw this, and then fell to his knees again.

"Liu Hong, although you are a rebel, you have lost your way and returned today, and you have made great achievements! I named you the deputy chief soldier of the Beijing camp, and I will reward you with 500 taels of gold and 3,000 taels of silver! ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong's face was immediately full of surprise.

Liu Hong was secretly happy in his heart, he had heard of the deputy chief soldier of the Beijing battalion, who was said to be able to manage one of the three major battalions in the capital, but he was a position with real power.

And looking at the soldiers and horses in the capital, almost all of them are elite, and these three battalions are definitely not weak.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Liu Hong knelt down and said.

Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a surprised look, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

The three major battalions in the capital now have less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them are in the hands of Li Guozhen, the chief soldier of the Beijing battalion.

"Flat!"

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and his eyes fell on Li Yuanyin: "How are sweet potatoes and potatoes now?" ”

Li Yuanyin half-knelt on the ground and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, these two grains are really magical, and now they are all ripe!" ”

"Excellent! Tell the Jinyi guard to preside over the security in the city and protect the grain, but not to disturb the people at will! Zhu Youzhen said.

Liu Hong on the side was a little confused.

What are they talking about? What grain?

It's just early spring, how can there be grain ripening!

"Okay, the rest of the problems will be reported to the court tomorrow morning!"

Zhu Youzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, stretched out to the sun, and slowly went down to the city with his hands behind his back.

The thieves have been destroyed, but the Qing soldiers have already moved south, and that group of people is not easy to deal with!

Forbidden City, Ciqing Palace.

Empress Zhou came here to have a small gathering with Empress Zhou.

"Imperial sister-in-law! In the past few days, the army has pressed the border, and even in this palace city, you can still hear the sound of shouting and killing, and the emperor has not returned to the palace for three days, I don't know when it will be a head! Empress Zhou sighed.

After Zhang Yan glanced at Xiao Zhou, she saw that her face was full of worry.

With a long sigh in his heart, he stroked Xiao Zhouhou's hand.

"I know you're worried about the emperor, but now the emperor has to do this!" Zhang Yan persuaded.

Now that the army of thieves is pressing, it is a great luck to be able to hold the capital!

And at this very moment.

"Queen, great joy! Great joy! ”

A joyful voice came from outside the palace.

Wang Chengen's face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and he crossed the threshold in an instant and came to Ciqing Palace happily.

"Two mothers, great joy!"

The eyes of the two queens fell on him, Zhang Yan's face sank, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Under the public, what kind of system!" ”

Wang Chengen immediately smiled and nodded, and hurriedly slapped himself.

"It's the minister's fault, the minister is confused!"

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing this, Queen Zhou covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and turned her head to Zhang Yan. "Imperial sister-in-law, it seems that this Wang Chengen should have a good thing to report, otherwise how could he be so out of shape."

"Really?"

Zhang Yan looked at Wang Chengen, slowly held up the teacup in her hand, and took a sip of tea.

Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Queen, the emperor has won, and the thief has been captured!" ”

Smack!

In an instant, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, and it shattered.

Zhang Yan stood up in an instant and looked at Wang Chengen in shock.

"That's right, absolutely yes, the army has been defeated, and the emperor has sent someone to arrest the thieves!" Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Great! Emperor Daming is still there! ”

Zhang Yan sat on the chair and muttered to herself.

Xiao Zhouhou was also full of surprise at this time, and said, "In that case, where is the emperor now?" ”

What she is most worried about now is the emperor's safety.

Wang Chengen's face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and he said: "The emperor didn't close his eyes once in the past few days, and he fell asleep as soon as he came back!" ”

Empress Zhou's face was full of worry, she looked at Zhang Yan at a glance and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go see the emperor!" ”

Saying that, Xiao Zhouhou grabbed his steps and walked out in small steps.

A helpless smile flashed on Zhang Yan's face, and she turned to Wang Chengen and said, "Hurry up and follow along!" ”

"Yes! Be! ”

Wang Chengen immediately nodded yes.

In the palace at this time, Zhu Youzhen lay on the bed and fell asleep.

For the past three days, he has not closed his eyes once, and now he is lying on the bed, almost falling asleep with the bed touched.

Outside the temple.

Empress Zhou slowly pushed open the door, only to hear a squeak, she cautiously walked into the hall.

She followed the voice to the bed here, and saw Zhu Youzhen who was asleep.

"The emperor is really, he didn't even change his armor!"

Xiao Zhouhou sighed with some pity, and gently summoned a few maids to serve Zhu Youzhen to take off his armor.

Immediately afterwards, she personally wiped Zhu Youzhen's body, lay down beside Zhu Youzhen, and stared at Zhu Youzhen with stupid eyes.

……

Day 2.

The morning light is faint, and the sun is slowly rising.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the time has come!"

Wang Chengen pressed his throat and carefully called Zhu Youzhen outside the palace.

Zhu Youzhen's ears moved slightly, and he felt that there were three thousand hairs pressed on his chest in front of him.

He looked down and saw Empress Zhou lying on top of him, sleeping quietly.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile slightly, and his fingers couldn't help but wrap around her hair, gently drawing circles on her smooth back.

He woke up in the evening last night, but he stayed warm with Queen Zhou for most of the night.

"Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to court!"

Zhu Youzhen got up slowly, careful not to alarm Xiao Zhouhou, and then put on his clothes and walked outside the hall.

"Welcome to the Emperor!"

Wang Chengen and the others held up the dragon robe, bent down and whispered.

"Let's go, go to court!"

Zhu Youzhen opened his arms and watched them serve him and put on his dragon robe, and then walked in front of him and walked towards the Jinluan Palace.

In the Golden Luang Palace.

At this time, there were a few more fresh faces in the hall, which made several other ministers discuss.

Liu Hong was wearing an official uniform, looking at himself with some novelty, looking very happy.

And Zhao Yun stands among the generals, almost standing out from the crowd, making it impossible not to pay attention.

But almost no one knows who he is!

After a while, everyone withdrew their gaze and stood there looking ahead.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was dressed in a dragon robe and slowly sat on the throne.

"See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

His Royal Highness's ministers kowtowed and bowed down one after another.

"Flat!"

Zhu Youzhen nodded, stretched out his hand, and asked them to get up.

"Li Guozhen! How many people were caught in the thieves yesterday! Zhu Youzhen asked directly.

Li Guozhen took a step forward and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister arrested the thieves and deserters yesterday, and arrested a total of 53,200 people, and some of the thieves are fleeing, and the minister has ordered people to continue to arrest!" ”

"Keep arresting, be sure to catch them here, but if there are thieves who slaughter people, there will be no mercy!" Chongzhen squinted.

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, some people in Wenchen immediately changed their faces.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks this move is inappropriate, how should so many people be handled?" Fan Jingwen stepped forward and asked.
