Chapter 217: Tranquility Within the Palace Walls (7th Shift)

The green tree village is close to the edge, and the green mountain Guo is oblique outside.

If it weren't for the smoke of gunpowder, Jiangnan at this time would also be a good season for outings.

Zhu Youzhen pulled the reins and walked into Nanjing City.

Although the war is close to Jiangbei, the city of Nanjing is still full of pedestrians, there are still bursts of shouting in front of the rows of shops, and the sound of oars on the Qinhuai River in the distance is still rising and falling in the laughter of men and women.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Mengcheng is a great victory, the Third Army of the Guards Army repelled the Qing army's 5,000 iron cavalry, and the deputy capital of the Qing army, Southern Hunan, was killed!"

At this time, the little boy in a slightly longer soap-colored shirt and linen shoes waved his fat little hands and ran from the crowded place at the city gate, holding a large stack of "Guanghua Daily" about three inches thick.

Nanjing under the rule of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the northern enclosure politics under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the children of the low-level people can have clothes to wrap their bodies.

Although the printing font of Guanghua Daily is very small, but in the era of no lead printing, it can only increase the content load by increasing the thickness of the newspaper, although the little boy holds the newspaper is very thick, but it is robbed by the pedestrians at the city gate in a few clicks, after all, it is the news of the victory over the Qing army's iron cavalry, which is naturally attention-grabbing.

Zhu Youzhen didn't buy it, but just looked at the phenomenon in front of him and smiled slightly, most of the Daming Di newspapers used to serve the eunuchs' families, and now they use newspapers to popularize the citizens, which can also indirectly promote the literacy rate of ordinary people, of course, there are also scholars in the workshop who take the newspaper to read the newspaper in the restaurant and tea shop to make a living, but also pass the news to the ears of ordinary people for the imperial court.

Zhu Youzhen heard it clearly, and when the little boy's figure disappeared into the vast sea of people, cheers were already heard in the teahouse next to him.

The battle of Mengcheng had been a few days ago, but the Nanjing people who had only just received the news at this moment were still excited, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile, and beat his horse to Hongwumen.

After the Hongwu Gate, it is the seat of the dignitaries and the royal family, without the noise of the outer city, but also added a touch of quiet, the first corps of the second army of the Guards has begun to go out of the city one after another.

Officials of all walks of life came and went in the ministries and yamen, ensuring that the state apparatus remained healthy in the face of such a great war.

Miyagi saw that it was right in front of him, and Zhu Youzhen also stepped into the Imperial Gate at this time.

Since his own Emperor Chongzhen went south, although he has accumulated a lot of wealth, he has not yet repaired the palace because of the accumulation of military expenses, not only the ministers will feel that His Majesty is frugal when they enter from here, but even Zhu Youzhen feels that he is indeed frugal enough at this time, but I don't know that such a diligent and thrifty government will still make Nanjing City reproduce the ending of Beijing City and fall into the hands of others.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but secretly swear that once he repelled the northern captives, he would renovate this royal palace city.

There are not many palace people in the palace city now, and since moving south for a year, Xu Zhaohua has just been added.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen entered the Qianqing Gate, he came to the Qianqing Palace first, and sure enough, he saw Chen Yuanyuan with a pair of teary eyes and a group of eunuchs from the Qianqing Palace standing in front of the jade steps of the Health Palace.

Chen Yuanyuan is obviously thinner than when he left, and he looks more and more slender, with a slender waist and slender waist, if it is not covered by Luo's skirt, he may be able to see a pair of long legs.

"See Your Majesty!"

A swallow whispered, as if he hadn't seen Sanqiu, with a hint of resentment.

The appearance of Zhu Youzhen obviously made Chen Yuanyuan feel a lot more relaxed at the moment, and he was busy bathing and changing clothes for Zhu Youzhen, and when the sun set on the West Mountain, when the colorful clouds were piled up on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, in the royal palace against the glow, Zhu Youzhen was wearing a bundle of long hair and was gently combed by Chen Yuanyuan with a grate in his palm, and his long hair was overflowing, black and shiny.

It was precisely in order to protect these strands of long hair that hundreds of thousands of Han family sons gathered under the city of Yangzhou to fight against the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Qing army.

Chen Yuanyuan smiled like a flower, looking at His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen in the diorama, only to feel that it was good to be as quiet as now all the time, and took out the jade dragon crown from a palace and wore it on the top of Zhu Youzhen's hair, and the golden hairpin was inserted horizontally, and the elegance of the initial hair was collected at the bottom of the crown, showing the elegance of the Chinese emperor.

The Xuanxi gown was unfolded in the hands of two tall and elegant Gong E's eyes, Zhu Youzhen got up and put it on his body, and Chen Yuanyuan personally accessorized the hanging objects.

The sound of the bell entered the temple at this moment.

In a trance, Zhu Youzhen heard the sound of cannons from Kaifeng City, the sound of fighting at the foot of Mengcheng, the screams outside Dingyuan City, and the blood of the enemy and the body of the guards were intertwined in the world of fire and oil, which made people's blood still uneasy.

Zhu Youzhen had ordered dinner to be used in Kunning Palace, and the prince and the princes, as well as the queen and Yuan Guifei and the newly acquired daughter Xu Zhaohua were also accompanied.

Now that he is Emperor Chongzhen, and the royal family is his family, now that he has experienced a war of blood and fire with his own eyes when he goes out of the palace, Zhu Youzhen at this time can't help but cherish the feeling of starting a family even more.

After the unitary hour, the sky in Jinling City will get dark very quickly, and when Zhu Youzhen enters the Kunning Palace in the inner court, it is already the beginning of the lanterns, and the insects are singing all around, and the princess of the concubine palace has been lined up in front of the wall to greet each other.

One of them has a pink face with spring, shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and there is still some youth and childishness to follow the queen, presumably Xu Zhaohua.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile slightly, he didn't love a demon in the color when he saw one, and he was not interested in this kind of young girl who was only in junior high school in his previous life, and he was not morally in the past, so he had no other thoughts, just smiled slightly: "Who is Xu Zhaohua?" ”

Sure enough, a young girl who was noticed by Zhu Youzhen stepped forward, folded her hands, attached them to her waist, and attached herself to Zhu Youzhen with pure and elegant dignity, and lowered her eyebrows: "People's daughter Xu Zhaohua, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Sure enough, she is worthy of being a famous lady, but she is more calm than the champion Lang", Zhu Youzhen said, and walked directly to the graceful and luxurious queen Zhou, who had not touched a woman for a month, but he couldn't help but hug Queen Zhou's waist.

A peck on her cheeks, which still had no wrinkles, whispered: "I have seen countless lives and deaths these days, and under the sleepless sleep, I have already accumulated a fire, and I have to rely on the queen and the concubine to serve together tonight to clear my desires." ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he couldn't help but come over and hook Yuan Guifei's jade face, Yuan Guifei and Queen Zhou couldn't help but blush, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but bow his head, looking lonely, the concubine can be close to the emperor, but she, as a palace lady, does not dare to cross the rules easily.

"Under Kaifeng City, I also saw the face of Duoduo clearly, full of murderous and ugly, fortunately he didn't sit here, otherwise it would be difficult for me to swallow this full of delicacies", Zhu Youzhen said this, the women sitting and standing couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, graceful and soft, but also made Zhu Youzhen find that in the palace and on the battlefield outside the palace is really different, what you see in the palace is mostly the feminine beauty of women, and on the outside is more masculine, full of liver and gall, ambition and heroism!

Zhu Youzhen was very interested, and continued to talk about the war between Mengcheng and Dingyuan, and in the full seat, even Xu Zhaohua raised his head to listen carefully, and even when Zhu Youzhen mentioned Xia Wanchun, he also found that Xu Zhaohua's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but quip: "Don't worry, your champion is not in Mengcheng and Dingyuan, but in Yangzhou, so you don't have to listen." ”

Xu Zhaohua couldn't help blushing, provoking Zhou's couldn't help but stretch out his leg and kick Zhu Youzhen, the phoenix's eyes opened, adding three points of beauty, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but stretch out his foot to hook Zhou's calf, rubbing.
