Zhai Zhe took off his dragon robe, changed into a tight-fitting arrow sleeve suit, and walked out of the main hall. Almost two months have passed since the enthronement ceremony, and he still has not fully adapted to the status of emperor.

He walked in front, and Zhang Bingyin followed closely behind, telling the story of what he thought was important to the court.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Chahar has been in Honglu Temple for more than ten days, and today he went to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to make trouble, and was beaten out with a whip by the sect minister."

"The Privy Council sent an urgent report from General Che, and Tokbo of the Tumut Department refused to build a horse farm with the Ming Dynasty."

"Admiral Jin of Nanjing mobilized 3,000 soldiers to arrest more than 500 squires and ordinary people who gathered to make trouble in Taiping Mansion.

"The governor of Shaanxi played, and Wu Sangui, the king of Zhenxi, still occupied Hanzhong and did not retreat"

The two of them walked around in the corridor, Zhang Bingyin's mouth did not stop, and the little yellow door followed a little farther behind.

Zhai Zhe suddenly stopped and asked sideways, "Is that all?" ”

"Well," Zhang Bingyin whispered, "Mr. Fang has made a twist and turn and discussed the reform of the scientific examination. "That report is not urgent compared to what he just said, but Fang Yizhi is his benefactor, and he knows that His Majesty's attention to Fang Yizhi may be second only to Zong Xiang.

"The matter of Nan Zhili was handed over to the Minister of Emergency Sect to be dealt with with with with all the powers, and he sent a decree to Li Laiheng and ordered him to act according to Jin Xiaoding's orders."

"The messenger of Chahar is ordered to meet him tomorrow in the Wuying Palace"

Zhai Zheluo pondered slightly, and then said: "Proposed order, Zuo Ruo should be appointed as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, and he will take office after the year." ”

"Let the things of Tumut go first, horses are not raised in a day"

Many complicated and important things in Zhang Bingyin's opinion, Zhai Zhe made a decision casually. It sounds sloppy, but when it comes to reality, the emperor didn't officially settle a matter, he just put the person he thought was suitable in that position.

"......, well, put Fang Yizhi's recital on my desk." Zhai Zhe raised his feet and walked to the Yinghua Hall not far away.

Zhang Bingyin bowed and waited for the emperor's footsteps to disappear completely before turning his head in the direction of Wenhua Palace.

Zong Mao monopolized power in the outer court, but the existence of the inner court was like a thorn in the huge power. The attendants of the three ministers of their own affairs all know what the meaning of their existence is, and if they listen to His Majesty's intentions, the inner court will be expanded, and it will reach five people, so wouldn't it correspond to the former cabinet scholars one by one?

Walking in the palace, Zhang Bingyin never looked left and right, his eyes were always staring at the front of his feet, and he could discern the direction by his residual vision. "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Ming Taizu abolished the phase ten years after the founding of the country, who knows how long the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty can exist"

"The emperor drove to the ......" The drag of the little yellow door is like the tail of the opera aria of later generations.

Zhai Zhe walked into the Yinghua Hall and walked twenty or thirty steps forward, and Ulan led a group of maids to wait by the corridor.

"No courtesy," he approached, and suddenly reached out and took Ulan's hand and walked into the hall.

Ulan followed the emperor obediently like the steppe princess twenty years ago.

The decoration in the Yinghua Hall is different from other palaces, and the floor is covered with thick embroidered wool blankets. After a mezzanine room, a Buddhist shrine was placed against the wall on the right hand side, which enshrined the idol of King Rifudo Ming, and the three pillars of sandalwood emitted a little green smoke. Further inside is the bedroom, in which a large log bed is placed, without lacquer dyeing, a typical yurt-style dress.

"How come I have never seen you worship Buddha in Jiangnan" Zhai Zhe let go of his hand and sat on the edge of the bed and lay down.

The smile was piled up on Ulan's face, and the skin at the corners of his eyes on both sides was pulled and folded: "Your Majesty, why doesn't Junyi"

"You're going to laugh at me too"

Ulan pursed his lips; "That's what the ministers say."

"I thought that after so many years in Jiangnan, you had become accustomed to the life of the Han people."

"What I have been taught since childhood, I will forget it there, and I am afraid that it will be taken to the grave." Wulan walked up to Zhai Zhe and sat down, "Next spring, do I really want to return?" ”

Zhai Zhe turned his head, "What, don't you want to go back?" ”

"Yes, it's just ......, there aren't many people I know there now."

Zhai Zhe straightened his arm and touched his fingertips on Wulan's face: "Your brother is still in Shengjing, the Jurchens didn't kill him, if the war in Liaodong goes well next year, maybe you can rescue him." ”

"Maybe," Wu Lan suddenly stretched out two hands to hold Zhai Zhe's hand tightly, and said, "I only have this one relative, if my brother dies, I will feel very lonely." He is not a hero on the grassland, Huang Taiji asked him to go to Shengjing, Tumut surrendered to the Great Zhou, if it is not very difficult, please save his life. ”

Zhai Zhe lay flat, his eyes aimed at the top of the white curtain, "I will do my best"

Tumut was between him and Ulan, and like the Emperor Taiji of the past, he didn't need Omubu Khan to come back.

A few years later.

When the Manchus released the Ombu Khan family, they were then killed by the Chahars in the Duoyan steppe. Ulan often thought of Zhai Zhe's performance at this time, and the emperor did not comfort himself as before, or even sit up to express concern. She would recall Zhai Zhe's stiff voice, and she knew that the emperor didn't want to save her brother at all.

Now, she still feels warm.

The maid turned up the fire in the stove, and Zhai Zhe took a nap in the Yinghua Hall here before leaving. Ulan sat on the edge of the bed, watching the emperor of the Great Zhou fall asleep, listening to the emperor's thunderous snoring.

Before leaving, Zhai Zhe said: "Ulan, when the grassland is covered with green next year, I will turn naturalization into a real pearl of the grassland." ”

That is the pearl of the Great Zhou, no longer the pearl of the Mongols.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Zhai Zhe smiled heartily: "Naturalization, I like that place." "There are many memories of him there.

Ulan bowed down to send the emperor to the gate of the Yinghua Palace, and she was now completely a bird in a cage. Like the two Hai Dongqing fed by the emperor, they are only occasionally released to relax, and everyone in the palace is like this.

Back in the hall, Ulan walked to the Buddha hall, she had not enshrined the Buddha Virujana for more than ten years, and almost no one worshipped the Tantric Buddha in Jiangnan.

The maid who had been following her reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, you forgot to tell Your Majesty that the second prince is unwilling to stay in the academy any longer. ”

"I haven't forgotten it, I'm just coaxing him." A faint layer of melancholy floated up Ulan's brow, "Your Majesty's dislike of people who are not good at reading the most is that I was too lax in disciplining him when I was young. ”

She said in her heart, "But if only our prince of the steppe could tame the fiercest horses and dare to fight the most powerful enemies." ”

The Ming Dynasty will divide the children of the royal family to various places, and His Majesty has also expressed his thoughts on the prince.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and it is unknown how many concubines he will accept and how many sons he will have."

When people are fine, they think wildly. Of the emperor's three concubines, she was the only one who was a Mongol and had no maiden family to accompany her.
