Zhu Qizhen reappeared in the Huagai Palace, and changed into a set of emperor's regular clothes: wearing a black gauze winged hat, wearing a gold robe with a disc collar and narrow sleeves, weaving a golden dragon on the front and back and on both shoulders, a jade belt tied around the waist, a pair of bright eyes like stars, and the whole person was not angry and arrogant.

"Your Majesty~" called softly, and saw Queen Qian's phoenix eyes with tears, looking forward to where she was already waiting. The original gaudy makeup was dull, the tear stains on the cheeks were still clearly visible, and even the clothes on the body looked particularly old......

It may be that the emotions of the original owner are affecting Zhu Qizhen, or maybe it is because Chen Hua is an orphan, and he didn't get a daughter-in-law until he died in his previous life, at this time, when he saw Queen Qian, he only felt hot in his eyes, and couldn't help but take Queen Qian's soft hair, his majestic expression melted like ice, and his voice trembled slightly: "Jinluan, you are haggard......"

The historical Queen Qian was blind for Ming Yingzong to cry, and finally Yingzong returned, and thought that the injury she suffered was worth it, and the experience was sad.

The big tears in Queen Qian's eyes slipped down, but she burst into tears and smiled: "Your Majesty, it's okay if you're fine, it must be the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors, and the concubines will fast for seven days to repay their vows, and pray for you for another month!" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs who watched this scene were also sour in their eyes, and they all lowered their heads to wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

"Brother Huang! You're finally back! Brother, brother" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were misty.

I saw Zhu Qiyu standing not far away with a tired face, and the look of surprise on his face was very sincere. Zhu Qizhen still admires the Ming Dynasty in history, Jingtai Dynasty basically achieved political clarity, and also reused a lot of capable officials, belonging to the category of Ming Jun.

Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen have had a good relationship since childhood, and when Zhu Qizhen drove the expedition, he even named King Yu to act as the government of the court. So for the fact that he was almost replaced by him, Zhu Qizhen was not only unwilling to be imprisoned, but he still had a good impression of him.

Zhu Qizhen said with emotion: "During this time, I have had a second brother Lao, and I haven't seen him for a few days, and I have lost so much weight." ”

A touch of embarrassment appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face, as if he had misunderstood Zhu Qizhen's meaning, and his voice was a little eager: "Brother Huang, I ......"

"Your Majesty!" Empress Dowager Sun finally came to the Huagai Palace, and when she saw that her son, who had been worried about her day and night, came back, her eyes could no longer hold back, and tears poured out like a.

The rare warm scene made Zhu Qizhen's eyes sour, and he hurriedly strode forward, and before he could get to the Empress Dowager Sun, he knelt down with his knees bent.

"The Queen Mother! The son's unfilial piety makes you worried! Zhu Qizhen said with a crying voice.

Empress Dowager Sun looked at Zhu Qizhen, who seemed to be several years old, and her voice choked: "The emperor looks mature, I'm afraid I've suffered a lot these days, but it's okay if people are fine, and the overall situation of the court is still waiting for you to preside." ”

The Queen Mother forced herself to calm down and stretched out her hand to support Zhu Qizhen: "Hurry up, hurry up, the courtiers have arrived, you have to show the appearance of the emperor, and the rest of the words will be said separately by the two of us when we turn around." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, got up and asked, "Have the ministers arrived?" ”

"Your Majesty, the important ministers in the capital are already waiting in the Fengtian Palace." Kim Young-answered.

"Queen Mother, when the son-in-law finishes handling the matter, I will come to you to say goodbye." Zhu Qizhen said.

Empress Dowager Sun nodded: "The emperor is in charge, as long as you don't take risks anymore, your mother can do whatever you want." ”

made Zhu Qizhen's heart very warm, and this sentence also spoke to his heart, but it was the opposite, so he could only nod stubbornly, and comfort Queen Qian a few words before going to Fengtian Palace.

After being interrupted by the Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qiyu didn't have a chance to speak, and when he saw that the imperial brother was gone, he hurriedly followed, and when he got out of the palace, he finally mustered up his courage.

"Imperial brother, I'm ......" but was interrupted by Zhu Qizhen: "Brother, I've worked hard for you this time, I have heard about some of your decrees, and I have done a good job this time, and I really live up to my entrustment!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Zhu Qiyu, of course Zhu Qizhen knew what Zhu Qiyu wanted to say, and he deliberately didn't want him to continue.

One is that he said that it is not easy to deal with, after all, the topic is too sensitive, and the other is that he still wants to use this matter to see who of those ministers has careful thoughts, and in the end, when he really wants to knock him, it is convenient to take it out and talk about it...... Be an emperor, basic operation.

Zhu Qiyu's heart warmed, he was not angry when he encountered this kind of thing as an emperor, and he suddenly admired Zhu Qizhen's mind very much.

Along the way, Zhu Qizhen learned about the situation by the way, and he could hear the sound of talking at some distance from the Fengtian Palace, and when Zhu Qizhen stepped into the Fengtian Hall with one foot, the originally noisy voice suddenly lowered, and Zhu Qiyu ran to the side of the courtiers and knelt down together.

"Welcome to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't go to sit on his Nine Dragons Golden Lacquer Throne, he entered the hall through the back door, and went straight to the main entrance.

Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jin Lian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yu Qian, the left servant of the Ministry of War......

The ministers who passed by did not stop again except for a moment in front of Yu Qian. After crossing the ministers, they crossed the threshold and came to the outside of the hall, and the ministers were puzzled and looked back.

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and knelt down facing Jiangshan Sheji. This is one thing he has been thinking about on the way to the palace, there are so many ministers who have died, even if Wang Zhen is responsible, he will definitely be discussed, it is his own fault, there is nothing to avoid.

However, the majesty of the emperor could not be damaged because of this, in order to have less resistance in the future administration, and in order to block the mouths of the ministers, Zhu Qizhen decided to follow the example of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and kneel to the sky to ask for guilt!

Seeing Zhu Qizhen kneeling, the ministers were all shocked, and they all spoke to dissuade: The emperor can't!

The Jinyi guard, who was in charge of the emperor's safety, hurriedly knelt down, but fortunately, no one was facing the gate, or the emperor would have died if he didn't kneel like this.

"The minister inherited the unification at the age of eight, and it has been 14 years since the reign, and at the beginning of the throne, the Empress Dowager Lai taught painstakingly, assisted by the 'three Yangs', the court is clear, and the people are happy."

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and continued:

"Since the death of the Empress Dowager, the three Yang old retreated, the ministers suddenly took power, thought that the shackles had gone, then debauchery, with eunuchs and far virtuous ministers, and then in pursuit of the merits of the ancestors, bent on the conquest of Wara, to my Ming Dynasty 300,000 soldiers died on the battlefield, the corpses are still violent in the wilderness, the ministers know their sins, the emperor's anger please descend to heaven to punish the ministers. Please ask the emperor to bless the people of the Ming Dynasty and show the virtue of heaven! ”

After saying that, he slammed his head on the ground.

And all the ministers prostrate.

"Your Majesty! It's the incompetence of the ministers, and they can't share the worries of the monarch's father! ”

"The minister is guilty!"

"Your Majesty, don't be harsh on yourself, Warat is cunning, you are not at fault."

"Your Majesty! The minister is only willing to serve the country with his body and share his worries for the king! ”

There was already a cry in the hall, and the courtiers spoke out one after another.

"The emperor is a witness, and the minister Zhu Qizhen vows to stop the war and sacrifice the dead subjects with the head of Yexian!" Zhu Qizhen said goodbye.

It seems that the heavens really feel it, and when the last word comes out, a lightning bolt crosses the clear night sky, and thunder roars in the sky.

Zhu Qizhen finally straightened up, and a eunuch rushed over, knelt on the ground far away, and slid all the way to his side, holding the urgent military report with both hands raised above his head.

"Your Majesty, the Warat army is approaching the Beijing Division, and the deputy commander-in-chief Gao Li and Mao Fushou meet the enemy in the north of Zhangyimen Tucheng and defeat the Warat Advance first!"

Hearing the news of Wara's march, Zhu Qizhen was shocked, he thought that if he returned to the capital, the battle for the defense of Beijing would not happen, but he didn't expect that not only did it happen, but it was so much ahead of schedule.

When Zhu Qizhen was secretly thinking about it, the ministers in the palace had already spoken out to ask for war. Among them, led by Yu Qian, they all walked to the door of the hall on their knees, staring at Zhu Qizhen with burning eyes, and anger seemed to burst out from their eyes.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have already arranged the deployment of the city defense, with Sun Bo, the former military governor guarding Xizhi Gate, Wujin Bo Zhu Ying guarding Chaoyang Gate, and Governor Liu Ju guarding Fucheng Gate...... Although the matter was hasty and the preparations were not sufficient, as long as they dared to come first, they would never come back! Yu Qian said.

"Everyone, love Qing hurry up, when the country is dying, don't be polite, as long as it's beneficial to national affairs, you can speak!" Zhu Qizhen was helped up by Yu Qian, and he finally saw Yu Shaobao.

Chen Hua used to admire only three people: Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the rest is this Qian Yu Shaobao.

He admires Yu Qian the most, he obviously has the ability to change his own destiny by seizing the door, not to mention preventing the seizure of the door from happening, he only needs to speculate and take the first step to meet Yingzong, and there is absolutely no danger to his life. With his ability, not to mention the title, it is still very easy to mix the title of the third duke.

But he chose the direction that was most unfavorable to him, and even stubbornly insisted on his beliefs, and it was also because of his persistence that Yu Qian, who supported the first merit after Emperor Jing succeeded to the throne, was gradually excluded from the core of power. If you want to evaluate Yu Qian, he thinks that Yu Qian is the first person to achieve the four words of unity of knowledge and action.

Zhu Qizhen's lowered gaze met Yu Qian's raised eyes, those eyes could only understand its connotation with the depth of space, and describe its purity with the innocence of a baby. is not a strong body, but it is like the backbone of heaven and earth, supporting the broken country of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen shook Yu Qian's hand heavily: "As soon as I returned to the palace, I heard about the Renshou Palace in the morning, you Aiqing, it was you who helped me support the Ming Dynasty!" Especially Yu Qian, fierce and decisive, with a heavy burden on him, it is the time to employ people, Kuang Shangshu sacrificed his life for the country, and the overall situation of the military department cannot be presided over by no one, from now on, Yu Qian is the new secretary of the military department! ”

Yu Qian was a little surprised, and he had the impression that Zhu Qizhen didn't like his straightforward and faceless character. However, the qualified politician quickly calmed down, and was neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking around with their eyes, the ministers present looked at Yu Qian with envy, but there was one exception: renamed Emperor Xu Hui, Xu Youzhen.

Zhu Qizhen has more confidence in his heart: a small number of people can't affect the overall situation, and now that the people's hearts are available, it is a good opportunity to face up to Wara, and we must make good use of it.

ordered: "Yu Qian is the main general, responsible for the defense of Beijing!" ”

The Battle of Beijing? The ministers secretly touched this easy-to-understand and concise title.
