readx;

The ministers who entered the city crossed the Jinshui Bridge one after another, and after entering the main hall, they stood in shifts and began to congratulate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the other side, it was the women and officials who were led by the eunuchs to enter the inner palace directly and go to Kunning Palace.

After the hundred officials congratulated him, he went out of the palace on duty, and the errand of the errand, except for a small number of ministers who were close to the palace would stay, and most of these people who stayed were relatives of the emperor, in addition to Zhang Yanling, there were also Liu Chengfeng people, etc., as for Zhang Heling, because he was not in the palace, he couldn't come, but it was enough for Mrs. Zhang to enter the palace.

Zhu Youzhu received the hundred officials of the imperial court, and hurriedly drove straight to the harem, and the women waited for a long time in Kunning Palace.

There are too many rules in the palace, and they can't be detailed for a while, but Queen Zhang is really happy today, not only because it is her birthday, but also because of this excitement, you must know that people in the deep palace are used to loneliness, but they have always hoped to be a little more angry.

However, the first time she saw such a scene, Queen Zhang was still a little shy, although she was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was also very dignified and decent, but this time she was really a little different, so she just pursed her mouth and listened to the length of the family.

The two ladies of the Zhang family are closer because they are close to Queen Zhang, especially the wife of Zhang Heling, Wang, who has a very sharp mouth, and praises Queen Zhang for a while, and for a while her eyes fall, she turns to Duoduo and boasts a few more words.

Although Zhu Yueluo is much more cheerful than before, but this kind of excitement is also the first time to see, whether it is in the Zhou Wangfu or in the Ning Wangfu, she belongs to the kind of existence that is forgotten in the corner, and now she has become a princess, but there are also people who keep talking to her, she is a little shy, just smiling. It's very cheerful, and her mouth is pointing to the east and west, but fortunately, she is not completely ignorant of the world, and she didn't say anything inappropriate at this time.

During the period, Zhu Youzhu came in once, as soon as the emperor arrived, the women saluted one after another, the sound of chirping stopped abruptly, Zhu Youzhu glanced at everyone with a smile, sat down and took a sip of tea, and said, "What?" Are you all afraid of me? Why, when I came, everyone stopped talking. ”

The women didn't even dare to say anything, but after the word "dare", they didn't dare to say anything more, so they fell into an awkward silence again.

Zhu Youzhu shook his head with a wry smile, stood up, and said: "This is the queen's birthday, you sit with the mother for a while, and the palace will give a banquet later, I still have some things to do." ”

He had to borrow an excuse and escape.

It's funny to say, don't look at this emperor in front of the courtiers is extremely majestic, but after all, he is not the kind of person who is abusive, he is surrounded by so many women, and he feels uncomfortable all over, so it is naturally better to leave.

The ladies are all in Kunning Palace, but the royal relatives are all talking in the Cheng'en Hall on the side, the Cheng'en Hall is just a small hall, which is responsible for entertaining guests in the inner palace, but there are not many opportunities to use it usually, and it has not exceeded ten times in the hundred years since the founding of the country, but every time there is a eunuch who is in charge of cleaning, so there is no such lifeless feeling at all.

Everyone sat down, reminiscing about the old and chattering.

Most of the relatives of the emperor are divided into two kinds, one is hereditary after the heroes, such as the Duke of Wei, the Duke of E, and the Duke of E. There is also a title that is obtained because a sister or daughter marries into the palace. These two titles are very different, such as the Duke of Wei, which is the founding general Xu Da, the title is based on the founding of the country and the auxiliary government of the ancestors, so their duke is the first-class founding assistant Yun Tuicheng, as for the British duke, but because of the auxiliary Emperor Wen Jingnan, their title is the second-class Fengtian Jingjing is difficult to push sincerity.

Whether it is the founding of the country or the martyrdom, they are both relatively noble titles, and in addition to the hereditary replacement of these two titles, it is impossible to have canonization now.

And the general imperial relatives, such as the Marquis of Shou Ning, although they are the brothers of Empress Zhang, can only be given the title of fourth-class Fengtian Yiwei Tuicheng, to put it bluntly, this is a fourth-class marquis with no military merits, and don't think about going further until he dies.

It was Liu Chengfeng who was now canonized as a duke, but because of his real merits, he was given a third-class duke of Fengtian Yiyun and sincerity.

With such a difference, those first-class founders and second-class Jingnan lords will not look down on the third- and fourth-class lords very much. After all, in their eyes, they are a hereditary wealthy family, not only because they have been passed down for several generations, but most importantly, their ancestors are all great heroes from the dragon, which is an extremely great honor. As for those fourth-class nobles, they are just relying on their own sisters to obtain the shadow, how can this kind of goods be compared with them.

is those third-class dukes who fight with a knife and a gun, in their eyes, they are actually nothing, the so-called wealthy family is by no means a generation or two generations, but the accumulation of several generations, and it is by no means comparable to these people.

Therefore, when everyone chats and talks, they are all in a clear way, and the first- and second-class lords will never get together with the third- and fourth-class lords, and the third- and fourth-class are also disgusted with their arrogance, and naturally they don't want to deal with them.

Liu Chengfeng is now the upstart of the Ming Dynasty, and he was awarded the title of third-class duke at a young age, which is an outlier in the Ming Dynasty, so among the third-class and fourth-class lords, under the recommendation of this Trillium, it is quite popular.

Liu Chengfeng, this guy, has always seen people talk about people, he is more fierce than anyone else when others are vicious, and he is more energetic than anyone else when others have a relationship with him.

However, Liu Chengfeng clearly felt that in a corner, there was a person in his thirties who was quietly looking at him with cruel eyes, and there was a clear flash of resentment in his eyes. Liu Chengfeng's eyes inadvertently glanced at him a few times, gently pinched Zhang Yanling beside him, and listened, "Who is that person?" ”

Liu Chengfeng is an upstart, it can be said that he has not yet integrated into the circle of the nobles of the Beijing Division, so he does not know about many people, Zhang Yanling did not dare to slack off, glanced at the man, and then said in a low voice: "Zhengzhou Hou Fangxin, what, Grandpa Liu recognizes him?" ”

Liu Chengfeng then remembered that when he cleaned the gambling house, it seemed that he had indeed cleaned a gambling house of Zhengzhou Hou. This Zhengzhou Hou is said to have a big family and a lot of industries in Beijing, and the gambling house is just a small business of Zhengzhou Hou.

Having said that, Liu Chengfeng swept people's gambling houses, for Zhengzhou Hou, it is no longer a matter of losing some money, the most important thing is the problem of face, Zhengzhou Hou is a second-class marquis, with a prominent status, especially after the battle of Tumubao, many first-class and second-class lords have fallen in the war, and even many people, because the men have gone out with the army, even to the point that no one has attacked the lord, since then, the court attaches great importance to these old heroes, it can be said that the emperor wants to sweep away the gambling shop of the Zhengzhou Hou, I'm afraid I have to think about it too.

Now a brocade guard said that he would open the gambling house of Zhengzhou Hou, and this matter has become a laughing stock for everyone in the upper circle of the Beijing Division, and Zhengzhou Hou Fangxin is naturally very unhappy.

But so what, Liu Chengfeng is not afraid of this Zhengzhou Hou, his gambling house is hiding dirt and dirt, after the raid, the people in the gambling house were also arrested, and under torture, he also confessed a lot of shady things, if this Zhengzhou Hou dares to make a fuss about this, Liu Chengfeng doesn't mind doing it at all.

While everyone was talking, Zhu Youzhu came from Kunning Palace, he stepped in, everyone stopped talking and saluted solemnly.

Zhu Youzhu smiled, pressed his hand, and said: "What's the matter, a good birthday banquet, it's like a court meeting, this is the case in Kunning Palace, and the same is true when you arrive here, everyone don't be polite, get up and talk." ”

Everyone got up one after another, Zhu Youzhu picked a place to sit at random, pressed his hand again, and said: "Come, sit down and talk, what about you, you are all people who share weal and woe with Daming, and you are all your own family, don't be so rusty." ”

His gaze fell on Zhang Yanling, and he couldn't help but say, "I heard that Heling is still in Jiujiang Mansion now, isn't it?" I can't come today, but I sent a letter to the queen, and it's rare that he has a heart. He is also bitter in Jiujiang, and coming back this time is a great achievement for him. ”

Zhang Heling went to Jiujiang to personally supervise the construction of the Chi Road, which was not for the sake of trade routes, but for the court to prepare for a rainy day when it turned against King Ning in the future.

Jiujiang is located in the upper reaches of Nanchang, close to Poyang Lake, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang in order to compete for hegemony, there was a big war here, and now, it has become an important fortress to contain King Ning, Zhu Youzhu several times analysis, all believe that once King Ning rebelled, Jiujiang must become the most fierce battlefield.

Therefore, Zhang Heling was ordered to preside over the construction of Chidao, and at the same time, he also secretly hoarded armaments in Jiujiang, just in case.

The reason why Zhu Youzhu said this sentence can be regarded as a change in his two brothers-in-law, no matter what, these two guys can be regarded as good learners, and they are no longer as foolish as before, at least they can share their worries for the palace.

However, his words, when Ying Gong, Wei Guogong and others heard it, they seemed a little unhappy, and they felt as if they had been trapped.
