In fact, Zhu Youzhen still faintly expects this mature Empress Zhou to put forward some opinions or show some surprised actions for her shocking ideas.
But what Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that Queen Zhou didn't show any shock and express any opinions, and only got up to Zhu Youzhen to bless herself:
"The concubine understands what Your Majesty means, please rest assured."
Queen Zhou's expression was indifferent, her eyebrows were indifferent, and after she sat down, she still only twisted the red sandalwood Buddha beads between her fingers and recited the scriptures.
Zhu Youzhen was quite annoyed.
"Queen, what do you need to do not be so cold and violent to me."
Zhu Youzhen had to prepare seriously to communicate with Zhou.
Empress Zhou stopped the Buddha beads in her hand, she didn't know what to say, so she still sat next to Zhu Youzhen blankly.
"Are you still complaining about the abolition of the crown prince, and maybe you still have an opinion about me sending King Yong to the Ming Army Military Academy to participate in the Guards, but I have already told you that this is what they must do as the Ming Imperial Family, don't you understand?"
Zhu Youzhen said and grabbed Queen Zhou's shoulders and pulled her in front of him.
Empress Zhou showed a smile: "The concubine understands that Your Majesty has misunderstood." ”
But even after Zhu Youzhen stayed in Kunning Palace at night, Queen Zhou's performance in bed was no longer as active as before, as if there was no need at all since that day.
Zhu Youxuan was bored and had to get up and sit on the edge of the bed: "Okay, I will go to see Yuan Guifei, you can rest assured about the affairs of King Yong, I will secretly arrange someone to protect his safety, and he will not be a front-line participating troops, this operation, as long as I can completely annihilate the enemy of Jiannu, the situation between the north and the south can at least be stabilized, and Jiannu will no longer have the ability to go south, then I will have the opportunity to go north, and the war in the southwest will also be alleviated, and then I will send a corps to the west, and the situation in the Ming can be stabilized." ”
"The concubines wish Your Majesty a victory."
Queen Zhou covered her loose dress by Zhu Youzhen like wood, got up and sent Zhu Youzhen out.
After Zhu Youzhen went out, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and Queen Zhou looked at Zhu Youzhen's distant back:
"Why did you become like this, you never call the name of the emperor and only use the name of the prince, Your Majesty, do you really only have the Jiangshan Society of the Ming Dynasty now, but you are so iron-blooded to govern the country, contrary to the previous emperors' preferential treatment of ministers and scholars, and chilled the hearts of countless scholars, can you really win this battle?"
After saying this, Empress Zhou sat back on the bed in a daze, silent.
Zhu Youzhen was walking to Yuan Guifei's bedroom in the moonlight, and Chen Yuanyuan led the way in front with a lantern.
However, Zhu Youzhen had not yet arrived at Yuan Guifei's bedroom, but met the imperial sister-in-law Zhang who was standing in the pavilion in Yongdao.
The imperial sister-in-law Zhang is still dressed in plain clothes, and after moving south, she looks more and more haggard, and there are still traces of the former Cleopatra between her eyebrows and eyes.
Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know if the imperial sister-in-law is here to admire the moon or wait for someone." ”
"Naturally, I am waiting for the imperial uncle", the imperial sister-in-law Zhang smiled slightly.
"Eh, what's the matter with the imperial sister-in-law, she actually wants to take the initiative to present the royal brother", Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed.
He still respects Zhang Yan very much, after all, his throne is due to his brother, and his sister-in-law is like a mother.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, for Chongzhen, she is also one of the elders of her relatives.
"Yesterday, your imperial brother told me in a dream about his illness on the cruise ship and the incident of the red pill, although it was the fault of the rebellious ministers and thieves, but in the end it was the reason why he was too eager to succeed, without the wisdom of Shizong, nor the cultivation of Muzong, and without the wisdom of Shenzong, the imperial uncle is now in a national disaster, although he has the heart to revive the government, but because he knows that some things must be gradual, the war is open again, so it is better not to lose because of this."
As soon as the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen said:
"The words of the imperial sister-in-law, the royal brother should remember, the imperial sister-in-law must be a little tired, so don't send the imperial sister-in-law back to rest! This hot day, although the heat has not dissipated at night, if the imperial sister-in-law is allowed to pass the summer, I will not spare you! ”
Zhu Youzhen lost his temper with the palace lady who accompanied the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan, ostensibly because of the relationship with the imperial sister-in-law, but in fact it was just to express his anger at the imperial sister-in-law's advice.
He knew that now these Ming people are all accustomed to the art of checks and balances, and they are not optimistic about their current behavior, and he can't say anything now, he can only wait to prove himself with the results of the war.
The imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan only sighed when she saw this.
She originally wanted to help the Empress Zhou persuade Zhu Youzhen to restore Zhu Cihong's position as the crown prince, but now she can only return to the palace when she sees it:
"I hope Uncle Huang can really win this battle, you are exactly the same as your royal brother back then."
Fortunately, Yuan Guifei didn't care about this, and Zhu Youzhen came to her more relaxed.
Yuan Guifei is already pregnant in April, and is expected to give birth at the beginning of spring next year, as the first woman in his life to conceive a child for himself, he will naturally not be left out in the cold, but the concubine is not a queen, and her personality is slightly more cheerful, even if she is pregnant, she can play the game of picking up stones or solve the nine chains freely, and now she has seen Zhu Youzhen and took the initiative to do some palace secrets.
Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace.
Gao Hongtu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Liu Wanchun, Ruan Dayue, Hua Yuncheng, Huang Daozhou, Song Yingxing, and other officials of the six ministries and five monasteries, as well as other officials in Beijing, gathered inside and outside the hall.
"Now I have just received the exact news, the Qing court will march south to the Ming Dynasty in the near future, I have decided to inspect the Jiangbei provinces for several months, and specially appointed Wang Zhu Cijiong to supervise the country, the first assistant of the cabinet Gao Hongtu and the eunuch Wang Chengen in charge of internal and external affairs, all the ministers must fulfill their duties, Jinyi Wei commanded Wu Mengming to follow Hu, and Ruan Dayue, the secretary of the military department, moved to Zhenjiang to transport ordnance, money and food, and must not make any mistakes!"
Zhu Youzhen immediately issued such an edict, and all the officials were puzzled when they heard it.
Zhu Youzhen smiled coldly after looking at the ministers below, he knew what these ministers were thinking at the moment, he let Dingwang Jianguo not let Huiwang Jianguo definitely make some ministers reverie, and in the past, he was willing to Dingwang to inherit the unification, which was conducive to Dingwang taking advantage of this to form his own power.
And he ordered Ruan Dayue to go to Zhenjiang and Gao Hongtu to stay, which was to give Gao Hongtu a chance to restore his power.
After all, in today's Ming Dynasty, because Ma Shiying is outside, the entire court has formed two factions represented by Gao Hongtu and Ruan Dayue, and Ruan Dayue's party has grown a lot because of this eradication of the chaotic party.
Gao Hongtu's party can take this opportunity to absorb officials from the former Jiangnan gentry group to counter Ruan Dayue's party.
Zhu Youzhen could see the displeasure on Ruan Dayue's face.
But this is politics, and he, as a mature politician, must accept such an outcome.
As for the war, most of these courtiers didn't care much about it, except for the officials of the Generalissimo's Office and the Ministry of War, and even Gao Hongtu and other officials actually hoped in their hearts that this war could teach Zhu Youzhen a lesson.
