Han Zanzhou is now the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, the head of the inner prison, mainly due to the fact that he opened the Chaoyang Gate with Qian Qianyi at the critical moment to welcome the Pingnan army into the city.

A correct choice made him regain Chongzhen's trust, and with no one around Chongzhen now, he became the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, the most important position.

And Lu Jiude, another great eunuch of the Hongguang Dynasty, is now in prison with King Fu, and I am afraid that he will not be able to turn over in this life. It is really amazing that the two people who were not much different in power positions at the beginning have very different circumstances now.

In the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi is also known as the internal minister, and his status is very important, but Han Zanzhou is respectful in front of Chen Yue, and he does not dare to stand up at all. Originally, it only took a little eunuch to guide Chen Yue, but he did it himself, for the sake of Chaoyangmen, if Chen Yue didn't speak for him on the fold, where would he be today?

"Master Hou, don't thank you for your kindness, if there is anything to use the slave in the future, you can just speak." Seeing that there was no one around, Han Zanzhou said to Chen Yue in a low voice.

"It's all for His Majesty, Gonggong Han is polite." Chen Yue smiled slightly, his eyes touched Han Zanzhou, and the two smiled knowingly.

The Nanjing Imperial Palace has been idle for too long, it has long been dilapidated, and some time ago, when King Rifu was there, he only cleaned and sorted out the temporary residence of Wuying Palace, and it was too late to rebuild the palace.

Chongzhen naturally did not want to live in the Wuying Palace, where King Fu lived, Wang Yin was personally responsible, recruited more than 200 craftsmen, and repaired the Qianqing Palace in a few days, barely able to live. Han Zanzhou led Chen Yue to wait in the side hall, and he went to report to Chongzhen.

When Chongzhen was first seen in Beijing, there were guards who came to search his body, and it was forbidden to bring weapons to the audience. And now a few guards were standing at the entrance of the hall, but no one came to check, on the contrary, a few guards turned their heads from time to time and smiled at Chen Yue. These guards were originally old men drawn from the Pingnan Army, and a total of more than 100 people were transferred in Huai'an, led by Wu Mengming, who was in charge of guarding Chongzhen.

After waiting for a while, a little eunuch came over and took Chen Yue into the main hall, Chongzhen changed into a loose Taoist robe, and was already sitting at the table.

Chen Yue knelt down and kowtowed, Chongzhen waved his hand and asked him to get up, with a very casual attitude.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you seen Her Royal Highness Princess Kunxing?" Chen Yue's butt landed on the seat and asked casually. As soon as the words came out, I saw Chongzhen's face darkening all of a sudden.

Chongzhen glared at Chen Yue vigorously, hating the root of his teeth, although he is the emperor, but there is not much difference from other fathers, the most precious is Princess Kunxing, in the case of the three princes are lost in Beijing, Kunxing is already his only relative, and now a little bastard is always thinking about Kunxing, so how not to be angry.

"Hehe, the minister lost his words, lost his words!" Looking at Chongzhen's dark face, Chen Yue smiled awkwardly, knowing that now is not as good as when he fled from Beijing, how can he see each other? Kunxing is a princess, and it is impossible to accompany him to dinner. However, looking at Chongzhen's annoyed and blackened face, Chen Yue was secretly refreshed in his heart, and asked his daughter in front of the emperor, I'm afraid there is no one but himself, right?

"During the state funeral, the princess must keep filial piety for her mother for three years, and she can no longer act as recklessly as before." Chongzhen "snorted" and said, so Chen Yue knew that he would not think about Princess Kunxing for at least three years.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Chen Yue casually patted a sycophant, looked down at the dishes on the table, a total of eight dishes with four meat and four vegetables, plus a white fungus bird's nest porridge, the food was quite rich, if it was an ordinary treat, but this was an emperor's hospitality to a hero! Chongzhen is still as frugal as ever.

"Don't shoot on the back, you're not a civil official, and you can't shoot well!" Chongzhen snorted coldly, stretched out a silver chopstick, picked up a piece of tofu, and gently put it in his mouth.

"Why isn't the minister a civil official? At the beginning, the minister had served as an inspector, a military officer, and a governor, all of which were positions that could only be done by civil officials. Seeing that Chongzhen had already moved his chopsticks, Chen Yue was no longer polite, and stretched out his chopsticks to sweep. Not to mention, I don't know where to invite the imperial chef, and the food is unusually delicious.

Hearing Chen Yue mention the past of that year, Chongzhen couldn't help but think of the dispute between the ministers that caused Chen Yue to be a civil official or a military attaché, and now it is really ridiculous to imagine. A bunch of ministers for some reason pushed a rude warrior into the civil ranks.

Chen Yue's last position was the governor of Tianjin, the imperial history of Zuo Yandu, a serious civil official position. Chongzhen shook his head, no longer dwelling on the topic, and began to concentrate on eating.

Chongzhen's amount of rice was very small, and after eating a small bowl of rice with a few chopsticks, he was already full. And Chen Yue was still eating and drinking there. Han Zanzhou, who was waiting on the side, looked dumbfounded, he had been an errand boy in the palace for more than 20 years, and he had never seen such a reckless courtier.

Pingnanhou really has an unusual relationship with the emperor, it is like a family, it seems that you have to be more careful with him in the future, and you don't dare to offend him, Han Zanzhou said secretly.

Looking at Chen Yue's appearance of not knowing etiquette, Chongzhen shook his head slightly. Under normal circumstances, the courtiers accompany the emperor to eat, they are all trembling, and as soon as the emperor puts down the chopsticks, he immediately stops chopsticks and does not eat, no matter whether he eats well or not, where is like Chen Yue who eats and drinks like a relative!

Not to mention, Chen Yue is just a relative, does he still need to be restrained to accompany his future father-in-law to have a meal?

Seeing that Chongzhen didn't eat, Chen Yue was even more unkind, sweeping like a storm, ate all the food on the table, scooped up a bowl of soup and poured it down, only then did he stop unsatisfied, leaned on the back of the chair and burped comfortably, almost not making Chongzhen stunned.

"Looking like a starving ghost reincarnated, how long have you not eaten a full meal?" endured and endured, Chongzhen still couldn't help but scold.

"Hey, how can the food in the barracks be compared to the imperial meal, it can only be called pig food, barely filling the stomach." Chen Yue sighed, to be honest, this meal was the most comfortable meal he had eaten since he crossed over. For more than a year, he spent most of his time on the march and fighting, and although he had hundreds of thousands of silver taels in his hands, he never worked hard to eat.

"Aiqing has suffered!" Looking at Chen Yue's young but weather-beaten face, thinking about his contributions to the southern and northern wars, Chongzhen was slightly moved and said softly.

"Hey, young minister, it's nothing to endure some hardship. But Your Majesty, I heard the princess say that you only have four dishes and one soup in plain life, but you are the emperor of my Ming Dynasty, there is no need to suffer yourself so hard. Chen Yue persuaded. Chongzhen's thrift is rare, but Chen Yue is quite unimpressed.

"Alas, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, the use is tight, and silver is used everywhere, so I can save some." Chongzhen sighed.
