In the study room of the Guogong Mansion, Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor, was busy reviewing the medals sent by the cabinet in the morning. In the past, when he was in Anlong, the concerts sent from all over the country were first sent to the Guiyang Lord's Mansion, and then transferred from the Lord's Mansion to Anlong, and most of the transferred concerts were also reviewed by Sun Kewang, and they were only sent to inform Zhu Youlang, so Zhu Youlang did not have any real power, and was completely a puppet emperor. Even the cabinet and the six ministries of Anlong Mansion are in name only, and the affairs of the Yongli Dynasty are almost monopolized by the six ministries set up by Sun Kewang in Guiyang.

After Li Dingguo Bao Zhu Youlang arrived in Kunming, the cabinet and the six ministries of the Yongli court really played a role, and Zhu Youlang once again exercised his duties as emperor.

Li Dingguo, like Dongxun Li Chengdong back then, was quite devout to Emperor Yongli, respected the newly established Yongli Imperial Court, kept the courtiers' festivals, and did not interfere in the appointment and dismissal of court officials.

However, Zhu Youlang did not learn the lessons of the past, and still appointed Ma Jixiang, who had taken refuge in Sun Kewang, as the first assistant, although Li Dingguo did not say much about this, but his subordinates and upright officials of the foreign dynasty had many complaints, thinking that the emperor did not distinguish between right and wrong, and trusted villains.

The arrival of the university scholar Guo Zhiqi exposed Ma Jixiang's private detention of Fu Wenbao, but the matter was gently put down by Zhu Youlang, and only sent someone to reprimand Ma Jixiang, and there was no punishment other than that.

Li Dingguo, who had personally led his troops to meet Sun Kewang's front army, was very sad when he learned of this in the army, but he still told his subordinates who stayed behind in Kunming, saying, "Since we have already protected the Son of Heaven and the lord of the country today, we should respect the Son of Heaven. ”

However, in order to prevent Ma Jixiang from making another mistake, Li Dingguo still deliberately sent someone back to Kunming. The future recitals of each ministry must be sent to the Son of Heaven first, which is the same as the will handed down by Zhu Youlang, so Ma Jixiang certainly hated this move for depriving the cabinet of power. But he didn't dare to disagree with the emperor and the king of Jin anymore, and honestly clamped his tail and behaved honestly.

After this incident, the six ministries and the general administration department were all sent to Emperor Yongli first.

Zhu Youlang has also changed his previous laziness, and everything that is sent to him must be made immediately, and today's music must be approved today, and it will never be delayed until tomorrow. When it comes to the emperor's spirit and seriousness, the capital can be compared with Emperor Chongzhen back then. This assessment is good or bad. But it can only make people reverie.

In the morning, the General Administration Department sent more than a dozen copies of the Song Shu and Tang Newspapers, all of which were sent to Kunming by horse from all over the country, and after Zhu Youlang approved a few copies, he asked the internal supervisor to take them and send them to the cabinet for drafting. Then ask the celebrant to approve the red.

The ancestral system is the cabinet first voted, and then approved by the celebrant supervisor, the emperor saw that there was no problem and then officially issued an edict to the ministries for implementation, and now this system has not changed. It's just that before the cabinet vote was drafted, there was an additional emperor who personally approved it.

Ma Jixiang was reprimanded by Emperor Yongli. The cabinet also became careful, and most of the opinions drafted by the cabinet ministers were mainly approved by the emperor, and to a certain extent, the power of the cabinet was greatly weakened, and the imperial power gradually increased again.

After approving another note, Zhu Youlang suddenly said to Wang Kun, who was standing beside him: "You go to the cabinet again to see, there is no news about King Jin, if there is any, send it to me quickly." ”

Wang Kun knew that the Son of Heaven was worried about the war between King Jin and Sun Kewang, and he said, "Your Majesty." King Jin's recital is coming, and the cabinet will definitely send it to the emperor immediately. He persuaded again: "The emperor has approved the morning's recital." It's time to pause and rest. ”

Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "Where can I rest, and where do I dare to rest." By the way, who is on duty in the cabinet today? ”

Wang Kun said: "It's the old Fuge." ”

Fu Ge Lao is the university scholar Fu Gang, who was originally the first assistant with the highest voice, but later because the emperor appointed Ma Jixiang, Fu Gang could only retreat to the position of second assistant.

Fu Gang is old and steady, and he is quite effective, Zhu Youlang is not worried that he will make a mistake, and instead asked Wang Kun: "Where did Ma Jixiang go?" ”

Wang Kun was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "The old slave heard that the old man went to handle the military rations of the King of Jin. ”

"This kind of thing needs to be handled by the household department and the military department, what is he going to do?"

Zhu Youlang was very annoyed, Ma Jixiang was really good at doing things, but as the first assistant, he went to do the trivial matter of preparing military rations, and he really knew the priorities.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Wang Kun hurriedly said: "The elder of the pavilion is also not at ease, I am afraid that the people below will miss the major event of the King of Jin. ”

Wang Kun obviously said good things for Ma Jixiang, Ma Jixiang ran to prepare military rations, others don't know what he is thinking, can Wang Kun not know? It's not that I want to take the opportunity to make a sum of money to fill my pocket, and it's difficult for this Shoufu to drop down and reach out in person, I've been really aggrieved in Anlong all these years, and I finally have a chance to reach out, and Shoufu is not ashamed.

Zhu Youlang was coaxed by Wang Kun, turned his anger into laughter, and said: "This is also true, the King of Jin's side must indeed have sufficient supplies, and the people below must not be mistaken." Well, after Ma Jixiang was reprimanded by me, he knew that something was good, and it was not in vain that I trusted him so much. After speaking, he didn't care about Wang Kun, he sat there by himself, and then reviewed the rest of the music.

After approving a few copies, Zhu Youlang suddenly felt a little tired, so he asked Wang Kun to read the song Shu and Tang Bao to him, and then he gave instructions, and Wang Kun wrote it.

Wang Kun had studied in the Inner Book Hall in his early years in the Forbidden City, and thanks to the teachings of the Inner Book Hall, his handwriting was good and neat, and he was the eunuch of the Si Li's palm print, and he had been criticized a lot of red, so there would naturally be no mistake in writing. Zhu Youlang looked at it from the side, and he was also very reassured.

After Wang Kun drafted three notes on his behalf, Zhu Youlang felt that his spirit had recovered slightly, so he waved his hand and motioned for Wang Kun to step back and continue to draft the decree himself.

Wang Kun hurriedly took a few steps back respectfully, and stood where he had just stood, breathing breathlessly, not daring to make a little movement.

After approving another copy, Zhu Youlang saw that there were still many songs and reports on the table, and he couldn't finish the approval for a while, so he put down the pen and got up to move his muscles. After sitting for a long time, he also had some backache.

Wang Kun came up here and was about to ask the emperor if he needed something to eat, when an internal supervisor outside the house said: "Long live the lord, the queen mother and the county lord of Changle are here." ”

"The queen and the lord are here?" Zhu Youlang immediately showed a smile on his face and ordered the inner supervisor: "Let them come in quickly." ”

Not for a while. Queen Wang and Zhu Shuyi, the lord of Changle, both came to the study.

"The concubine has seen the emperor!"

Queen Wang bowed down and was about to salute, but Zhu Youlang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, pretending to be unhappy and said, "How many times have I told you." Don't salute when you see me. ”

The queen smiled, but still insisted on saluting. Zhu Youlang had no choice but to let her go.

"Shuyi has seen the emperor!"

The county lord of Changle also stepped forward to salute Zhu Youlang, her father was Zhu Yuyi, Emperor Shaowu, and her great-grandfather was Emperor Taizu's twenty-third son, Tang King Zhu Huan, according to generation, Shaowu Emperor Zhu Yuyi and Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian are the uncles of Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang. Therefore, Zhu Shuyi is the aunt of Emperor Yongli. But she didn't dare to really call herself an aunt in front of Emperor Yongli, and because she was young, she only called herself by her name.

"The county lord is quickly excused."

Zhu Youlang looked at this distant cousin. Thinking of her uncle and father, the indescribable feeling in her heart, she felt a lot of emotion, and stepped forward to take the county lord. asked her with a smile: "Are you still used to living these days?" ”

"Shuyi is used to living."

Although it is a nephew. But Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang is nearly 20 years older than Zhu Shuyi, and he has been tired of running around all these years, and he looks old, so in Zhu Shuyi's eyes, his cousin Zhu Youlang is like a father.

Wang Kun stepped forward to greet Queen Wang and the Lord of Changle County, and went to bring two brocade stools.

"It's good to get used to it, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. Come, sit down and talk. Zhu Youlang motioned for Queen Wang and the county lord of Changle to sit down and speak.

"Listen to Mr. Guo. You escaped from Guangzhou with Tang Wang, why did you get separated from him later? ”

The Tang King that Zhu Youlang said was definitely not Zhu Yuyi, the father of the county lord of Changle. It's her other uncle, Zhu Yuyi, who is now in Wencun.

Shuyi was only seven years old at the time, and escaped from Guangzhou with her uncle with her nursing mother, but was caught up by the Qing army halfway. Shuyi lived there for several years, and the nurse unfortunately contracted and died, and later Shuyi heard that her uncle was in the Taishan area, so she wanted to look for him, but on the way, she met bandits and took them to the village. ”

Thinking of the death of the nurse who loved her the most, Zhu Shuyi's eyes were red, she held back the sadness in her heart, and continued:

When the bandits saw that Shuyi was young, they didn't speak, but they said that Shuyi was mute, so they asked Shuyi to cook and wash for them. Shuyi lived in that village for six years, and then the bandits listened to the words of a Xiucai and went down the mountain to fight the Qing army in Luodingzhou City, and after Xiucai took the bandits down the mountain, the women who were captured by the bandits all ran down the mountain and ran home, and Shuyi didn't dare to stay there alone and went down the mountain. After going down the mountain, Shuyi was homeless, so she wanted to go to Taishan alone to find her uncle, but she didn't know where her uncle was, until she met Scholar Guo on the way. ”

"If it weren't for Shuyi, Lord Guo wouldn't have been able to pass the checkpoint of the Qing army, and would even be arrested by the Qing army. Queen Wang interjected.

The queen of these things naturally told Zhu Youlang, thinking that the county lord had suffered so much at a young age, Zhu Youlang couldn't help sighing, and said to the county lord of Changle: "The county lord has really suffered a lot over the years, and I am sad to hear it, alas, my children of the Zhu family are really troubled." As he spoke, for some reason, he suddenly remembered that his two biological flesh and blood who were lost in Zhaoqing, and his eyes were red.

When Queen Wang saw her husband like this, she knew that he missed his flesh and bones, and was afraid that he would be too sad and sad, so she hurriedly said to Wang Kun: "Go and ask someone to bring some snacks, the emperor must be hungry when he is busy now." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Wang Kun hurriedly went out and ordered the palace maid to bring snacks.

When the dim sum was delivered, Zhu Youlang had already stopped his sadness, picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to his cousin, and said softly: "You are the king of my Ming Dynasty, but you have never enjoyed any glory and wealth since you were a child, but you have suffered the same sins and hardships as us adults, I am really sad and sad." Come, eat a piece of dim sum, this is a very famous restaurant in Kunming City, it is very delicious, I like to eat it very much, you can taste it, if you like to eat, I will ask them to send some more. ”

The county lord of Changle took the piece of dim sum, suddenly lost his mind, and said in a low voice: "Shuyi knows that the mutton soup is delicious. ”

Lamb soup?

Zhu Youlang and Queen Wang were stunned, and were about to ask, but they didn't want to go outside but suddenly ran to a figure, and they didn't look at the road in a hurry, and knelt down in front of Zhu Youlang with a "plop" sound, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, Lubu is successful, Lubu is successful, Lubu is successful!" ”

Readers pointed out an error, which has been corrected. Zhu Shuyi is the cousin of Emperor Yongli, not a cousin. The generation of the Tang King is the same as that of the Wanli Emperor. (To be continued.) )
