Of course, Zhu Youzhen did not give Zuo Liangyu any will for him to enter Beijing to participate in the court.

What kind of virtue Zuo Liangyu is, he doesn't have to test it to know.

It's just that Zhu Youzhen now wants to stabilize the situation in the court, so he has no choice but to tell such a lie first and flatly deny Zuo Liangyu's rebellion.

The current Zhu Youzhen is not worried about Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, but only worried that someone will take the opportunity to instigate and cause internal panic in the court.

Then he used this to say that he was the emperor who was unqualified to cause Jiangshan Sheji to face such a crisis, and used this as a way to coerce other ministers of the imperial court to attack himself, or to attack his trusted henchmen, and then indirectly challenge the imperial power in order to achieve the political interests of his own small group.

This kind of commonplace trick is very common in all dynasties, and Zhu Youzhenrao can think of this not long after he became an emperor.

In addition, when Zuo Liangyu came to have an excuse to enter the army and the traitors in the court, I was afraid that most neutral officials would mistakenly think that they were right, or have to admit that they were right, and hoped that he, the emperor, would make a compromise in order to obtain Gou'an.

Zhang Shenyan was originally very proud, he just wanted to reveal the news that Zuo Liangyu was going to raise troops to rebel in advance, so that the ministers would panic, and then when Zuo Liangyu raised troops, he could take advantage of this to make the Donglin Party attack Ma Shiying and others.

However, to Zhang Shenyan's disappointment, His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, Zhu Youzhen, was more sophisticated than he imagined, and directly lied and said that he had preached the will to Zuo Liangyu, so that the hundred officials had to think that maybe they would not know Zuo Liangyu's loyalty until after the Lantern Festival.

So much so that he Zhang Shenyan couldn't see the scene of the controversy between Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen and his ministers.

After Zhu Youzhen said this, the officials from the north naturally chose to believe it.

The rest of the ministers also chose to believe, and Zhang Shenyan and others had to wait for the Lantern Festival to arrive.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the great dynasty does not need to discuss any major affairs of the dynasty, but it is just a hundred officials who say a few auspicious words, look forward to the future, and praise the great Ming of Guotai and Min'an, and there is nothing to remember.

After the court meeting was over, Zhu Youzhen put away his smile, and said to Wang Chengen on the way: "Okay, the scar forgets the pain, Wei Zaode, Qian Qianyi's heads are not rotten, and some people have started to engage in party strife again, even at the expense of harming the interests of the country, now that Jiannu is about to go south, Zuo Liangyu peeps into the southeast, one by one does not think about how to save the country, but only thinks about fishing in troubled waters and making waves, it is really a lifetime of reading in vain!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen instructed: "Before the Lantern Festival, be sure to find out who is plotting and instigating this matter, but remember not to let them find out easily, if necessary, you can carry out assassinations to deter you, but you must do it perfectly, so that people can't see the flaws!" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly received the order and said yes.

Here, Zhu Youzhen ordered someone to call Shi Kefa again: "How many guards and soldiers are there who have come to Nanjing Palace City to ask to see me?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, more than 8,000 guards have arrived in the palace, and now most of them are arranged to live temporarily in the Wuying Palace, and each person is provided with food every day according to the treatment of the young eunuch in the palace!"

After Shi Kefa ordered, Zhu Youjian nodded and ordered: "Send someone to order officials from northern Beijing and officials above the second rank to start entering the palace tonight, and we will hold a banquet in the Wuying Hall to invite everyone to spend Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

After Zhu Youzhen said this, he hurriedly entered the Qianqing Gate, and saw that Chen Yuanyuan was walking in the hall with Yuan Guifei, who was not walking well, so he came over and asked, "Is there a concubine?" ”

"Where, it's all your Majesty's fault, last night was too ruthless, and the concubine became like this! Ouch, it hurts! ”

Yuan Guifei said coquettishly.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, as he exercised more and more, his physique was much stronger than before, and he was much stronger than before in this regard, and it was reasonable for Rao to be embarrassed by Yuan Guifei.

"The concubine can't serve Your Majesty tonight, Your Majesty should see the queen, the queen is still angry, Your Majesty, you haven't been to see her, and the concubine heard that the red plum blossoms in Kunning Palace are blooming very well, and now in this snowy day, it is time to fold the plum and insert the bottle."

Zhu Youzhen looked at the sky, and it was indeed as Yuan Guifei said, it was the snow-white side of the glass world, so he ordered: "In this case, let's go to Kunning Palace to visit the queen begging Hongmei together!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a coat for Zhu Youzhen and Yuan Guifei to put on, and personally took an umbrella for Zhu Youzhen to cover the falling snowflakes.

Logically speaking, Chinese New Year's Eve should not be so cold, and the snow should not be so thick, but now is the period of the Xiaoice River, even in Jinling City, it is no different from Yanjing's Chinese New Year's Eve.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen came to Kunning Palace, he really saw bright red plums standing on the snow-covered ground, and he couldn't help but smile, and instructed Gong E, who rushed to hear the sound: "The queen doesn't have to go out to greet her, I will go in personally." ”

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen walked around the red plum forest to the inner hall of Kunning Palace, and as soon as he bypassed a section of the ear wall and passed through the flower shed, he saw that the queen was already standing outside the curtain of the wing room.

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and shook Zhou Hou's cold hand: "I heard that you were angry, and I complained that I didn't come to see you?" ”

"How dare the concubine, Your Majesty has all the opportunities, how can you run into this palace every day", as soon as the queen Zhou said this, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "I only have one machine, where there are ten thousand opportunities, Rao is this opportunity, so Yuan Guifei will complain again and again, and the queen will have to go into battle in person tonight." ”

As soon as Zhou Hou heard this, he immediately understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, and couldn't help blushing, snorted, and said coquettishly: "Not serious!" ”

Zhu Youzhen held Zhou Hou's hand and didn't let go: "I heard that your red plums here are excellent, I specially came to ask for a few branches, the Qianqing Palace is full of cases, all of them smell of ink, and there should be some floral fragrance to match." ”

After Zhou heard Zhu Youzhen say this, he hurriedly ordered someone to fold the red plum, and at the same time smiled: "Your Majesty Qianqing Palace now has a delicate round flower that can be picked, why do you need red plums." ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but look at Chen Yuanyuan, who lowered his head and made his skirt, and said with a smile: "Although this flower is fragrant, she has to let me pick it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with women's laughter.

Only Chen Yuanyuan blushed and didn't smile.

Today's Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian is naturally much funnier than before, making the harem less depressed, as if there is a family atmosphere, for the concubine Gong'e who has been away from home for many years, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, it undoubtedly makes people feel more cordial.

"Everyone moved here south with Shu, we are all a family, the master and the servants are forced to live here temporarily, now since it is Chinese New Year's Eve, we should also be happy, tonight, the Empress and Shu are going to the Wuying Hall to meet with the officials of the outer court and the officers and soldiers of the Guard, I can't accompany you to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, and it will even make everyone harder;

Before it gets dark, our inner court also has to gather and order people to prepare! In addition, I will take 10,000 silver dollars from my account at the central bank and distribute it to you, which will be regarded as a New Year's purse. ”

The concubines, the female officials and eunuchs in charge, and the people below all cheered and jumped for joy when they heard this.
