Chapter 314: Return to Beijing
After the Suzhou incident was resolved, Zhu Chen didn't need to worry about it.
After returning to Beijing quickly with the soldiers, it only took less than half a day.
After sending Shen Qingqiu home, Zhu Chen was going to the palace to report on his work.
The matter of Suzhou is almost handled by him, so after he returns to the capital, he has to go to the palace to explain the ins and outs of this matter.
This is the first time Zhu Chen has entered the palace.
As soon as they rode the little mare and came to the gate of the palace, the Guards immediately blocked the way.
However, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army is not a fool.
can see that this person's identity is extraordinary, and he can immediately recognize Zhu Chen.
Therefore, seeing Zhu Chen coming on horseback, the commander of the Royal Forest Army immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "I have seen King Huai." ”
He acted respectfully, and there was no disrespect in his words.
It can be seen that he has great respect for King Huai.
Zhu Chen bowed his head, got down from the little mare, took out a debriefing document and said: "Suzhou is over, I want to go to the palace to report on my work." ”
When the commander of the Imperial Forest Army heard this, he smiled and said, "I see, quickly, get out of the way." ”
Soon, the Guards were all out of the way.
The little mare was also respectfully led away by them to feed the grass.
Zhu Chen took the debriefing document and walked into the palace.
The first time he came here, seeing the palace walls on both sides that were dozens of feet high, Zhu Chen suddenly felt very small.
This Forbidden City, which gives people the feeling that it is also majestic and solemn, makes people dare not blaspheme and laugh.
Zhu Chen didn't know why, his heart was surging.
Walking in the palace road, Zhu Chen muttered in his heart: "Is this the power center of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Finally, one day, I will be able to set foot in this place.
The feeling of being in control of power seems to be overwhelming and intoxicating.
In Zhu Chen's mind, those words sounded again: Ordered by the sky, he will live forever......
Be the emperor and control the Ming Dynasty!
Who doesn't want the throne?
It's just that Zhu Chen, who was still surging just now, was like a deflated ball in the blink of an eye, and sighed lightly: "This is the opposite, whether it is made or not." ”
It's so distressing.
The old man is the emperor, to create the old man's rebellion?
Knock out all your heads.
This is really a great filial piety.
Putting aside these thoughts, Zhu Chen walked quickly towards the deep palace.
About half an hour later, Zhu Chen walked to the end of the palace road.
At this time, along the way, there were already many eunuchs and palace maids.
These eunuchs and palace maids, under the instruction of the old man, have long seen the portrait of King Huai, and when they saw King Huai entering the palace, they hurriedly saluted.
"Meet King Huai."
"Meet King Huai."
"Meet King Huai."
Walking between the pavilions and pavilions, along the way, there are eunuchs and palace maids to salute themselves.
This feeling is something that Zhu Chen has never been respected.
That feeling, like everyone prostrate at your feet, only you look down on them, gives people a sense of supremacy, as if heaven and earth are dominant!
Zhu Chen's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"This King Huai seems to have a lot of face." Zhu Chen muttered.
When you enter the palace, someone pays a visit to you, similar to the eunuch in the novel who is embarrassed, there is no such thing at all, the eunuch here is very well-behaved, a Huai king, and he is called kindly.
Finally, a little further, a great eunuch could be seen hurrying in.
Seeing King Huai, the big eunuch hurriedly saluted and said, "King Huai, I'll lead the way for you." ”
Zhu Chen bowed his head and followed the big eunuch all the way to the emperor's imperial study.
This palace is beautiful, and it is the most luxurious place Zhu Chen has ever seen.
Moreover, there is a sense of solemnity everywhere!
Thinking that he would be able to see the old man soon, Zhu Chen was not panicked on weekdays, but now he was inexplicably a little nervous about the old man.
After walking for another half hour, he finally came to a palace.
The big eunuch smiled and said, "King Huai, this is the imperial study, you can go in directly." ”
When King Huai entered the palace, someone had already reported it.
Zhu Chen was surprised: "Go in directly?" ”
The great eunuch nodded and smiled.
"You didn't cheat me?" Zhu Chen asked in surprise.
The big eunuch couldn't cry or laugh: "Absolutely don't dare!" ”
This is a person that both the prince and the emperor fancie, who would dare.
Zhu Chen put his mind at ease, gradually went up the steps, pushed open the door of the imperial study, and walked in.
In the empty palace, there are bookshelves on both sides, and they are full of various books.
Big!
It's huge.
This was Zhu Chen's first reaction.
Moreover, it is solemn and solemn, and when people enter here, there is a sense of depression.
Zhu Chen shouted: "Old man? ”
"Old man?"
It seemed that he heard the shout, and in the imperial study, a voice full of smiles sounded again: "King Huai, this." ”
"King Huai, this, this."
Following the voice, Zhu Chen looked over there.
I saw that the old man had turned into a big fat man, sitting on the dragon chair, waving to himself with a smile.
The fat hand beckoned, giving Zhu Chen a feeling of Maitreya Buddha.
"The Prince?" Zhu Chen was surprised.
Then, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I've seen the prince." ”
The crown prince stood up from the throne with a smile, walked in front of Zhu Chen, and helped Zhu Chen up with a smile: "Child, get up." ”
Is this the historical Akihito sect?
Sure enough, he is cute and easy-going.
Zhu Chen was helped to stand up by him, and before he could speak, the prince smiled and said, "When did you come back?" ”
Well?
Is the prince so considerate of his subordinates, he asked so carefully.
Zhu Chen replied truthfully: "I just came back, and I entered the palace immediately." ”
The prince sighed, nodded and said, "I'm here to report on Suzhou, right?" ”
Zhu Chen nodded: "Exactly." ”
The prince smiled: "Okay, you wait." ”
He walked back to his place, brought two small stools from the shadows, and said with a smile, "Sit down." ”
Zhu Chen was dumbfounded.
This is the emperor's imperial study, except for the dragon chair, where did the small stool come from?
The ministers went to the palace to report on their work, and there were stools to sit on? Isn't this a treatment that only existed in the Song Dynasty?
In the Ming Dynasty, the minister could only stand.
Seeing that Zhu Chen was curious, the prince waved his hand: "Harm, don't make a fuss." ”
"The old man wants to be an emperor, so let the ministers stand and talk, I, I think they are tired of standing, let them sit and talk."
"These stools are deliberately hidden by me for Yang Shiqi and them to sit on, don't tell me about this, otherwise the old man will have to settle accounts with me."
The prince was so easy-going, and he didn't talk about anything, which made Zhu Chen embarrassed.
But the prince insisted, Zhu Chen could only sit on a small stool, and the prince also sat down beside Zhu Chen.
The two looked at each other, and the prince smiled and said, "Say, I'm listening here." ”
"This imperial study is very empty, there is no one in it, you don't have to scruple, just the two of us."
