How the people of the inner court carnivaled with Zhu Youzhen for an afternoon, there is no need to elaborate.

How did the author know how debauched Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was in his harem.

I only know that when it is half the hour, twilight falls.

Zhu Youjian woke up in Kunning Palace in disheveled clothes.

Zhu Youzhen sniffed the freshly inserted red plum in the treasure bottle, and then instructed Queen Zhou:

"Now that Zuo Liangyu's troops are pressing, Jiannu and the thieves are behind the yellow birds, the people in the DPRK are unstable, and those who harm the public and private interests take advantage of this to stir up trouble and seek power and profit, therefore, Shu decided to gather northern officials to spend Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, you are the mother of a country and you have to meet with the hundred officials at the same time as Shu, and the emperor and queen are in harmony, which is also a manifestation of the current situation in the imperial court, and also to calm people's hearts."

Zhu Youzhen said that he ordered people to give Zhou Hou a large outfit, and he could no longer be as frugal as he is now.

Queen Zhou is naturally happy to obey the order, the hairpin ring is different from the black sideburns, Yingluo buckles between the pendant, the charm is still there, she makes red makeup to add more mature and charming bearing, plus the phoenix crown and bead curtain, and the mother of the country can not be desecrated.

Zhu Youzhen also wore a black color uniform, and came to the Wuying Hall in a sedan chair with the queen Zhou.

At this time, outside the Wuying Palace, thousands of tables were placed around the low table of the Wuying Palace, and everyone from cabinet ministers to ordinary guards officers and soldiers had gathered here.

The lanterns stretch endlessly, the eunuchs come and go endlessly, the tortoiseshell is opened, the black veil is like a cloud, and the red robe and the python robe shuttle in between.

The officers and men of the Guards from the north did not expect that His Majesty would really be true to his word, and let them follow a group of high-ranking officials of the DPRK to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with His Majesty and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Tongchang, who is now an officer of the Guards, was Zhang Juzheng, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he did not return to Huguang Jiangling, but came to the Forbidden City of Nanjing with his comrades-in-arms Xie Qian from Shandong and Wang Li from Beizhili.

The three of them, like the other officers and soldiers of the Northern Guards who came to the Forbidden City together, were all full of excitement at this time.

When Zhu Youzhen and Empress Zhou appeared on the high steps outside the hall and waved to the ministers, these people shouted long live.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"Most of the people present are homeless people like Shu, so let us welcome the first day of Chongzhen's eighteenth year together in Jinling City, on this Chinese New Year's Eve!"

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he raised the aluminum cup into the air: "Raise a glass!" ”

Empress Zhou also raised the aluminum wine glass, smiled without showing her teeth, and looked at the countless officials in front of her elegantly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The officers and soldiers below all raised their gold and silver cups and drank them all.

"Let's sit down", Zhu Youzhen said, and then led the queen Zhou to sit on the high platform outside the hall, and the ministers and guards below also sat down.

Zhang Tongchang, Zhang Huangyan, Xie Qian and others also sat down, and they were only in their twenties at this time, and they all looked at Queen Zhou curiously, wanting to see the face of the sky.

However, due to the dim lighting and the fact that they can only look up, they can't see clearly, and they only feel graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen continued to recall the past of going south with several important ministers from the north recently, and at the same time sighed at the difficulty of Taizu's entrepreneurship and the hard work of his imperial brother Zhu Youxiao to maintain the society.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Youjian summoned officials from the north to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with the officers and men of the Guards, and Zhu Youjian's purpose was to continue to draw closer ties with these people, so as to form their absolute loyalty to his own king and become the mainstay of resisting the Donglin Party officials who attempted to cause chaos and stir up party disputes.

Zhu Youzhen is good at exaggerating and exaggerating from the side, he compares himself with the northern officers and soldiers as homeless people, and uses the concept of family and country to emphasize the recovery and revitalization of the heart of the northern fist countless times, and at the same time said that the southern officials and people are now important to the Ming Dynasty to resist foreign captives and realize the unification of the world.

"Regardless of whether Zuo Liangyu is against it or not, will Li Zicheng and Dolgon fight against us next year, everyone, we can't be chaotic internally! The decline and fall of any dynasty starts from internal divisions, I know that the current Ming still has factions, there are north and south, there are also merchants and landlords, and gentry and Li Shu, but no matter how we divide, we are all part of the Ming Dynasty! They all have the responsibility to defend their homeland and recover the northern capital! ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he raised his wine glass again: "Defend your homeland and recover the northern capital!" ”

The officials of the northern department and the officers and soldiers of the Guards chanted along, and even the southern officials such as Shi Kefa chanted along.

Only Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, Liang Yungou and others didn't react, and only shouted a sentence or two awkwardly after a while.

Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen saw all this in their eyes.

Zhu Youzhen even walked in front of Gao Hongtu in person, and asked Wang Chengen to pour wine for Gao Hongtu: "Gao Aiqing, I know that you are a member of the Donglin Party, but I still say the same thing, I am not hostile to the Donglin Party, I am just a person who can use what can be used, whether it is Donglin or a eunuch party, those who can contribute to the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty are all my talents!" Just like you are old, with clean sleeves, loyal and honest, good at civil affairs, I can't do without you! ”

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen patted Gao Hongtu personally: "Bring the wine, I want to personally toast with the elder Gao Ge!" ”

Gao Hongtu was already a little uneasy because he was forcibly tied to Zuo Liangyu's rope by Zhang Shenyan, but now seeing that His Majesty did not give others a drink, but treated himself with such courtesy alone, which made him even more ashamed and afraid.

Zhu Youzhen then walked in front of Zhang Shenyan and Lu Zhenfei, and also expressed great courtesy and respect.

Although Zhang Shenyan didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly treated them like this, he still pretended to be very frightened on the surface, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"Your Majesty pay attention to the dragon body, don't drink too much wine, this cup of wine is a small minister's drink, but please don't drink it!"

Lu Zhenfei poured a glass of wine directly into his mouth as he spoke, but he couldn't help coughing when he didn't drink much, so he had to smile bitterly: "You can't do Liu Ling in the end." ”

Next, Zhu Youzhen walked up to the northern officials and officers and soldiers of the Guards to encourage them one by one or say some words of blessing.

Even, Zhu Youzhen sang with these officers and soldiers who relied on him as his confidants.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia is returning to his hometown. Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet! ”

"You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky. Rushing to the sea and never returning. You don't see Gao Tang Mingjing's sad white hair. Morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. ”

……

From the song of the wind to Li Bai's general wine and Manjianghong, etc.

A series of heroic songs were sung by thousands of boys, but also added a touch of warmth and heroism to the cold Chinese New Year's Eve.

Here, Empress Zhou also came over calmly and magnanimously, and smiled with several cabinet officials and high-ranking officials in front of her, as well as the nobles of the imperial court:

"The Son of Heaven is the father of the world, and the palace is the mother of the world, no matter how the country changes in the future, but please remember that as long as Your Majesty and the palace are still there, the country and the society are there, and your home is there! Come, now the monarch and the ministers have fun, everyone has a drink! ”

As a queen, she is naturally not an ordinary woman, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but now it is just a banquet, so it is naturally not taboo for the Zhou family to meet and talk to the ministers.

The ministers even felt the royal confidence in controlling the people from Zhou's elegant and calm demeanor.

"'A good majesty and the palace are here, the rivers and mountains are here, and your home is there', although this is said to be plain, but it is also full of officials!"

Gao Hongtu sighed secretly, and when he saw His Majesty Zhu Youzhen, who had laughed heartily when Li Banghua and others talked about all kinds of embarrassing things on the way to the south in the past, his heart became even heavier, because he seemed to see not a great Ming in the last days, but a vigorous Ming.
