Entering December, the capital is also starting to get busy.

This Spring Festival, for Zhu Youzhen, has a very special significance, the Liukou was finally completely exterminated, although there are still many problems in the Ming Dynasty, but the signs of good continue to appear, appoint the emperor's relatives into the court as officials, to the greatest extent to stabilize the vassal king, those who like to cause trouble in the fief before, basically put an end to it, you must know that this is one of the important procedures of the assessment, if it is not good in the folk reputation, it must be difficult to come out to be an official, so many vassal kings began to self-restraint, also restrain his family.,In the past, the internal guards and brocade guards often reported the arrogance and bullying of the vassal king.,Now there's almost nothing.。 The second is that the situation in Shaanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan has begun to improve, these places, which used to be places with frequent disasters and needed the support of the imperial court, are now self-sufficient, and the situation is also stable. The last is Liaodong, which has been quiet for two years, which has never been the case in the past.

With so many happy events, Zhu Youzhen seems to have seen that the Ming Dynasty will gradually prosper and become stronger.

In such a situation, how can you not celebrate wantonly, of course, Zhu Youzhen, who is used to living a poor life, will not spend too much silver, but just ask this Spring Festival to be happy with the monarch and the people.

From the beginning of the lunar month, Shuntianfu has been busy, to do a lot of arrangements, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Shandong and other places of the governor is also very smart, have decided to send a special celebration team, into the capital singing entertainment, this is in response to Tianfu's request, plus the local troupe and other teams, this Spring Festival must be very lively.

The Spring Festival atmosphere in the capital, under the backdrop of Ying Tianfu, also seems to be very strong.

Zhu Youzhen specifically asked the household department to allocate some silver taels. During the Spring Festival, there is no starvation in the capital, and all residents who are unable to live can be rescued by Tianfu.

Su Tiancheng is not very interested in this kind of practice, this kind of treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause. It doesn't make much sense, it's just to whitewash the peace, but he won't say anything, at least Zhu Youzhen can take into account the poor people, which is very good, and it is not easy to take out the silver for relief.

The mansion is also very lively, this Spring Festival, because Su Tiancheng is at home. Zhu Xianxin arranged it very carefully.

Su Tiancheng is still the same as usual, looking at Hong Chengchou's letter.

There is a lot of information sent by Qu Qingze and the dark line, and through this information, Su Tiancheng knows that Houjin has no action for the time being, and there is not much arrangement, and it seems that he is also in a wait-and-see attitude, including Huang Zaisheng, who is in Shenyang, the capital of Houjin. Nor did any valuable information come in.

According to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, Huang Zaisheng left Shanhaiguan. entered Shenyang, nominally to do business, of course, Huang Zaisheng's identity, Houjin also knows the way.

The thing that Su Tiancheng was most concerned about was the Houjin spy who had infiltrated the Guanningjin defense line. In this regard, Huang Zaisheng does not know Lu Dao, and it is impossible to know Lu Dao, and it is estimated that there are not many people in the intelligence network of Houjin Zhi Lu Dao.

"Sir. Someone from the palace has arrived. ”

Hearing the housekeeper's report, Su Tiancheng hurriedly stood up and followed the housekeeper to the door of the mansion.

"Lord Su, the queen mother, please go to Qianning Palace."

Su Tiancheng was taken aback, this eunuch spoke very politely, the queen mother could have issued a decree to ask herself to enter the palace, but now she said that she was invited to Qianning Palace.

This Qianning Palace is where the queen mother lives, only the emperor can go casually, since the queen mother summoned herself in the Qianqing Palace, it means that the emperor also knows the way.

"Father-in-law wait for tea, and the official will prepare."

The housekeeper took his father-in-law to the lobby for tea, and at the same time gave his father-in-law a gold ingot.

Zhu Xianxin checked Su Tiancheng's outfit and was not relieved until she couldn't see any problems.

When entering Qianning Palace, Su Tiancheng heard Zhu Youzhen's hearty laughter.

This is the first time Su Tiancheng has heard such laughter.

The scene introduced into the eye made Su Tiancheng very emotional, Zhu Youzhen and the queen mother were sitting, Zhu Cihong was standing next to him, Zhu Youzhen was holding a letter paper in his hand, which was probably an article written by Zhu Cihong, Zhu Youzhen and the queen mother had a smile on their faces, and Zhu Cihong stood next to him, looking very respectful.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Su Tiancheng would have found it hard to believe that there was such a warm scene in the Emperor's House.

"Su Aiqing, this is the Qianqing Palace, if the queen wants to see you, there is no need for a big gift, I am also a guest today, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Empress Zhou glared at Zhu Youzhen and spoke.

"Lord Su, this palace invited you here today to thank you, after the prince came back, his performance was very different, thanks to Lord Su's careful teaching."

"The minister doesn't dare, this is all His Royal Highness the Prince's wisdom, the minister followed His Royal Highness the Prince, learned a lot of things, when he was in the city of Kuizhou, His Royal Highness the Prince was not afraid of danger, regardless of his own safety, resolutely refused to leave, the minister was deeply moved, and everyone was also infected, so he was able to resist the crazy attack of 90,000 rogue with more than 10,000 soldiers, and achieved a great victory later."

"Su Aiqing has said, the prince is still young, I used to be busy with court affairs, and rarely cared about the prince's affairs, since the prince came back from Sichuan, he has repeatedly surprised me, Su Aiqing looked at this article, I think it is really good, at such an age, to be able to write such an article, if there is not enough grinding, it is impossible."

Su Tiancheng carefully read the article written by Zhu Cihong, and was pleasantly surprised in his heart.

It turns out that this article written by Zhu Cihong focuses on the people's livelihood, that is, the point of view that Su Tiancheng has always adhered to, the people can only make the country strong, only when the people are rich, the government can be rich, and the country can be strong, although this article, from the theoretical aspect, still seems a little naïve, some take it for granted, such as the king's gift, can make the people rich, etc., but Zhu Cihong has such a thought, which is very precious.

The truth that the people are noble and the monarch is light, many emperors shout like this on their lips, but they don't think so in their hearts.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's article, the ministers feel a lot, the whole world, is not the king's land, the shore of the land, is not the king's ministers, this is all thanks to the teachings of the emperor and the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince has such a benevolent mind, why worry that my Ming is not rich and strong, why worry that my Ming people are not rich."

The smile on Zhu Youzhen's face was even more.

"Su Aiqing, I am very pleased, since I ascended the throne, I have never been so happy, today the queen said, I want to thank you well, I agree very much, but I don't know what kind of reward Queen Ludao can come up with, this reward is too little, it seems that I am a child, but I don't know what reward Queen Ludao will have."

Zhu Youzhen is actually in the mood to joke, to say that he is not very old, he ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and now he is only twenty-eight years old, probably at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he has encountered too many things, and he doesn't know what the joy of the road is.

Empress Zhou looked at Zhu Cihong, her eyes were full of love.

"Master Su, the emperor has always asked for frugality, and this palace has to take the lead in doing it, the prince's progress is so obvious, this palace must thank you, and this palace can't get any decent gifts, this gift is too clear, it really damages the emperor's face."

"Your Majesty, the Queen, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister does not dare to have such thoughts, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed smart and wise, the minister is beyond the reach of the dust, when it comes to rewards, the minister will never dare to have any extravagance."

When the eunuch came in with a plate, Su Tiancheng didn't know what to say.

In fact, the reward given by the emperor and the queen mother does not mean much, after returning home, these things do not dare to take out the Lu to trade, unless the emperor and the queen mother directly reward gold, silver and jewelry, but these things are too vulgar, generally not, other things, after taking back, can only be honestly worshipped, for fear of damage.

"Lord Su, this jade Ruyi was given to this palace by the emperor when the palace married the emperor, and for so many years, the palace has always taken care of it, and it will be rewarded to you today."

Su Tiancheng could only kneel.

"The queen mother is such a valuable gift, the minister doesn't dare to accept it."

"Hehe, Su Aiqing, this kind of gift is just right, I have always wanted to reward you with something, today with the light, the jade Ruyi given by the queen mother also carries the meaning of me, this jade Ruyi is also given to me by the emperor, and it is a tribute to Persia."

While holding the plate, sweat drops appeared on Su Tiancheng's forehead.

This jade Ruyi, the value is not very high, but the meaning is extraordinary, to put it bluntly, this is the emperor and the queen's affection, now rewarded to himself, grace is needless to say, the key is that he got this gift, after returning home, he must be enshrined well, and there must be no damage.

It can be said that this jade Ruyi represents the supreme glory, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers learned that the emperor and the queen's love objects were rewarded to themselves, what kind of opinion would it be, that is needless to say.

Su Tiancheng always thought that the emperor and the queen might talk about the prince's next move, that is, after he went to Ningyuan, whether the prince would follow the past, in fact, Su Tiancheng did not agree to such an arrangement, and the confrontation with Houjin Da was protracted, not a matter of a while, if the prince followed for a long time, it would definitely affect his studies.

Fortunately, neither the emperor nor the queen mother mentioned it.

After going home, after Zhu Xianxin saw this jade Ruyi, the color of his face changed, Su Tiancheng was a little strange, and asked what was it for, Zhu Xianxin was stunned for a long time before he spoke, it turned out that before the emperor ascended the throne, the situation was very difficult, for fear of being hurt by Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, at that time, the queen mother even cooked in person to prevent someone from poisoning, this jade Ruyi was specially given by the emperor at that time, in order to thank the queen mother, this matter, Most of the royal relatives are knowledgeable, and they can't imagine that the emperor and the queen mother will give this jade Ruyi to Su Tiancheng.

Hearing this story, Su Tiancheng blinked, isn't this gift too great. (To be continued......)
