The ministers laughed again, in the hearts of today's ministers, they no longer regard official positions and power as their own private property, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's preferential treatment of officials more than twice the social average, not many people still want to be officials, officials are public servants, servants who do things for the people, and are no longer a symbol of prestige.

Cao Wenzhao came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors and five emperors have been my holy emperor, what is the monarch who can cover a country to the sky?" On the occasion of this celebration, there is also a gift for the emperor. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly: "What do you have to give to me?" ”

Cao Wenzhao knelt down and saluted: "Please allow the emperor to present the gift." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile, raised his hand, and signaled that he was ready.

Wang Chengen: "Present it." ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "Bring it up, the emperor has approved it." ”

Two royal guards escorted an old man with gray hair in.

Emperor Chongzhen sat down and looked at it carefully, slightly surprised, "This is Huang Taiji?" ”

The old man raised his head, his eyes were scattered, and his face was haggard, like a ten-year-old man.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji broke his legs, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen would not have recognized Huang Taiji at once.

Emperor Chongzhen and Huang Taiji's eyes touched, it was like a thousand years of reincarnation, if people can't see through, can't let go, and live a few more lives in vain, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen in this life, whether he wins or loses, he has already let go of his stubbornness, looking at Huang Taiji's eyes at this moment, wise and calm.

There are not many people in the Manchu Dynasty who have seen Huang Taiji, and no one knows the origin of this old man, which is very strange why Cao Wenzhao is celebrating in this universal day. Bring such an old man with you?

Emperor Chongzhen was very emotional, "Huang Taiji is not even fifty, why is this appearance?" ”

The crowd was shocked. Hearing what the emperor said, I knew this. This old man without legs is Huang Taiji, and in everyone's hearts, Huang Taiji should be a tall and mighty image, so no one thought of it.

Huang Taiji looked around, and then he realized that he had arrived at the Jinluan Hall of the Ming Dynasty, sat on the ground, smiled bitterly, and used the once majestic palace. Now he said in an old and hoarse voice: "Chongzhen, don't be pretending, since you caught me, just give me a good time." I know you've invented all kinds of torture, I'm not afraid! It's okay to kill Lao Tzu, but it's not okay to humiliate Lao Tzu. ”

When the ministers heard that Huang Taiji actually felt that the Holy Ming Emperor claimed to be Lao Tzu, they were all indignant! A few ministers who approached couldn't help but go over and strangle Huang Taiji alive, but fortunately they were blocked by the imperial guards, otherwise Huang Taiji would be trampled to death on the spot.

The ministers scolded non-stop!

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand, he stopped everyone's scolding.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded. smiled: "Very backbone, okay, then I will ask you." Why don't you have a treat for yourself? It took more than a year to hide for my army to catch me? ”

When the ministers heard this, they laughed, and pointed at Huang Taiji together, counting his hypocrisy.

Huang Taiji said angrily: "I want to keep a life, so as to turn against your Daming!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed, "The whole world has returned to me, where are you going to fight against me?" The anti-Ming Dynasty? Aren't you going to fight against the billions of people in these four seas on your own? If you win, you can afford to lose. Fang does not lose the true character of the emperor! How do people like you feel that they are plotting against the Ming Dynasty? This picturesque landscape of mountains and rivers. Can someone like you sit still? ”

Huang Taiji thought about it, he was indeed ridiculous. smiled bitterly twice, "Chongzhen, I'm not as good as you in governing the country, and I'm not as good as you in war, don't you just want to listen to me and convince you?" I don't want to say it, you just rely on luck! Who knows where you got a bunch of new firearms, if I also have the equipment of the Ming Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty is less than one percent of the population of the Ming Dynasty, I am also confident that your Ming Dynasty will be defeated and broken! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face was calm, indeed, this was his biggest regret, if he didn't wear it back to modern times, would he be able to play Huang Taiji? Can you fight too high Yingxiang, can Li Zicheng them? He didn't know either. (Perhaps, he'll have to prove it with another story.) ）

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, "Since you are here, you can't be killed on this day, if you come, you will be a guest, remove the shackles and give Huang Taiji a seat!" ”

Although the ministers did not understand why the emperor was so polite to this man who was incomplete and dying, no one advised him, and everyone felt that the emperor was magnanimous and quite different from peace.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen shouted: "The celebration begins, play music." ”

The Ming royal ritual music played.

There have already been palace maids who offer imperial wine to the emperor and ministers.

Emperor Chongzhen said loudly: "Give Huang Taiji a bowl too." For this first glass of wine, I would like to thank my queen, the queen, for coming to my side. ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say which queen, Zhang Yan and Zhou Ke'er both hesitated.

Emperor Chongzhen actually said Empress Zhou.

The two women still have a tacit understanding, and Zhang Yan will naturally not compete with Queen Zhou for this glory, although this is a banquet in the palace, it is equivalent to appreciating the prosperity with all the people in the world.

Empress Zhou didn't move, and Emperor Chongzhen himself stood up and walked towards her.

Empress Zhou was sure that the emperor was looking for her, and hurriedly got up.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and held Empress Zhou's hand and held Zhou Ke'er in his arms.

Zhou Ke'er's eyes were filled with tears, "Emperor, where is the merit of the concubine?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, "No matter how many women I have, you also occupy the heaviest weight in my heart, come on." ”

Huang Taiji raised his head and looked at Da Yu'er among the side concubines of Emperor Chongzhen, seeing that Da Yu'er was still young and beautiful, Chu Chu was moving, and his heart was extremely sour.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "This first cup of wine, I want to respect my good queen, without the queen mother of the world, I will not have a worry-free environment, and I will not be able to devote myself to the tedious management of the country." I will not be able to break through countless difficulties and obstacles and create today's prosperous era of Chongzhen! ”

The ministers cried bitterly and fell to the ground, and the concubines led by Zhang Yan also knelt on the ground, "The queen has no borders!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen went over and led Zhang Yan over, "This second cup of wine, I want to honor my Empress Zhang." Everyone knows that Empress Zhang used to be my imperial sister-in-law, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this, I know. No one in the world dares to talk about me behind my back, but I can satisfy your curiosity. Until now, I haven't had a round house with Empress Zhang! I am very glad that I can finally get together with Empress Zhang, and I also wish that the subjects of the world can let go of the fixed seal in their hearts, abandon the shackles, and bravely speak out while following the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Build a more sincere empire. ”

The ministers and the Great Khan, I didn't expect the emperor to tell the private affairs of himself and Empress Zhang in public?

Zhang Yan had already cried when the emperor hugged Empress Zhou just now, and she couldn't help it at this time, she was inexplicably moved in her heart, ashamed and happy, she didn't expect the emperor to be so frank and tell her and his private affairs in public, she originally said that she would not attend this occasion today, it was the emperor who wanted her to come.

Emperor Chongzhen beckoned and motioned for Zhang Yan to sit beside him.

Zhang Yan replied shyly, but she couldn't disobey the holy decree on such an occasion. Or walked over.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen actually stood up and hugged Zhang Yan. hugged and kissed Zhang Yan in public, tasting in public, tasting generously, his lover.

Zhang Yan was so ashamed that she wanted to die, but Emperor Chongzhen smiled at the ministers and said, "You don't think I've lost the ceremony, do you?" Today is a day of great joy for me and Empress Zhang, aren't you happy for me? ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt down: "I wish the emperor and Empress Zhang a good life!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded, "This third cup of wine, I want to pay tribute to all my concubines, they are also my wives." In particular, I want to respect Zheng Guifei, who does not have Zheng Guifei's talent. The government affairs of the Ming Dynasty will not develop so rapidly and all industries will prosper. The country is peaceful, and Zheng Guifei has made great contributions! Home and everything is prosperous, and I also wish families all over the world to be happy. ”

In the past few years, everyone has become accustomed to Zheng Guifei's management of the Ming Dynasty, especially in recent years, in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Guifei's role has even surpassed the emperor to a certain extent.

Zheng Yuelin smiled sweetly, her bearing surpassed that of a man, her demeanor was the best in the world, and there was only the emperor in her heart.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "This fourth cup of wine, I want to pay tribute to the ministers!" I want to respect the people of the world! It is your tireless work and fearless struggle of life and death that have brought about this glorious and prosperous world! Without you, there would be no Ming! ”

The ministers wiped their tears and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "This fifth cup of wine, I want to give it to my opponents, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, corrupt officials of all sizes in the Ming Dynasty, oh, and the representatives of Jiannu here, Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, I drink this cup with you, how about it?" ”

Huang Taiji snorted and picked up the cup, "Emperor Ming is so powerful, I can drink this cup with you, hum, it's just that I am a prisoner now, I can have a drink with Emperor Ming, why not?" However, Chongzhen, remember, I still say the same thing, I don't accept you, you are lucky. ”

The ministers were furious, thinking that this man was crazy? Was the emperor lucky? You are a dog with a hairy hair and drinking blood, how old are you, and you want to swallow my Daming?

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, without the slightest anger, he looked at the current Huang Taiji, as if he saw the shadow of his past, he knew that he was definitely not as good as Huang Taiji, if under the same conditions, he could win Huang Taiji? "Huang Taiji, what you said is right, I didn't say that I didn't stand lucky, I admit that my talent can't compare to you, but, there is only one Ming in this world, my courtiers, my people, this great achievement created, you can't deny it! Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here either! ”

Huang Taiji thought that his clan was extinct! The circles under his eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it anymore, although he still wanted to argue a few words, after all, he couldn't cry, and drank the glass of wine violently, but a stream of blood gushed out all of a sudden, and the blood was swaying in the wine.

All the ministers felt unlucky, and the imperial guards hurriedly came to clean up.

As soon as the water was splashed, the bluestone floor of the main hall was as bright as if it had been milled out of water.

Thinking about the past, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have too much emotion in his heart, winning, that is, winning, in this world, it will always be just about winning or losing, no need to why, winners, just enjoy life and cherish life.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and held the hands of Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou, and he felt happy.

The rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty were originally built on the bones, so why not add one more on the festive day.

Next, the princes came to congratulate Emperor Chongzhen, who gave birth to more than forty princes in total! More than thirty royal daughters.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the princes with a smile, no matter how heavy the world is, these more than 40 boys and more than 30 daughters are the treasures of his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen and each of his children said a few words, asked them what they thought, talked about their hopes, he did not demand any child, when people are young, they should waste their youth, and they will be too heavy in their lives, what is the difference between him and his previous life?

Emperor Chongzhen held Princess Changping in his arms, this is his most beloved daughter, remembering that he cut off Changping's arm with his own hands in the previous life, his heart was sour, and then he looked at Changping's stunning face, innocent and delicate girl's attitude, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, two emotions impacted him, making him even more like a jewel to Changping.

Emperor Chongzhen kissed Princess Changping's pink face heavily, "My baby." ”

All the princes and princesses held back their laughter, and they were all slightly jealous in their hearts, such a big girl, still a baby?

Princess Changping coquettishly put her pink face against the emperor, "Father." ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Okay, you guys also go and have a drink with the ministers!" Although you were born in the emperor's family, except for the crown prince who will be the emperor in the future, other princes, I hope that you will treat yourself as ordinary people, and you must live a wonderful life, and you must not be delayed by the three words of the emperor's family. ”

The princes and the princesses knelt down together and said yes.

At the end of the banquet, Emperor Chongzhen personally led hundreds of officials to ascend to the ** and celebrated with millions of people in Beijing.

The people finally waited for the emperor to come out, cheering in unison, long live the mountain!

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves, what an honor it was to see the emperor?

This is not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but a real great monarch.

Looking at the emperor's face becoming more and more youthful, he stood handsomely on the top of the city tower to accept the congratulations of all the people, as if he had turned back time.

Millions of people waved red flags, waved the Ming flag, waved countless colored flags, and everyone sang and laughed!

The blue sky and white clouds overhead, the mountains and rivers in the distance are picturesque, and the air is filled with sweet happiness.

Remembering that in the previous life, before he died, he saw millions of peasant troops attacking the city, and the scene at this time made Emperor Chongzhen's eyes red again, holding the hands of Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang tightly.

Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang felt the excitement of the emperor and clung to the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, and said softly to Zhang Yan: "I want to take good care of you tonight!" ”

Zhang Yan was drunk when she heard this, and responded softly in the emperor's ear, "The concubine will try her best to serve the emperor tonight, and the concubine must add another dragon to the emperor this year." ”
