Chapter 301: The Emperor Receives You

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, should now be the most proud vassal king in the Ming Dynasty.

In that year, he was the first to accept the edict of His Majesty Zhu Youzhen, the newly enthroned emperor.

immediately threw down the bottles and jars and Liangtian Meishe in the Qinwang Mansion in Shaanxi, and took his brothers and sisters to the capital without hesitation.

All the clan magnates were preparing to see his jokes, and felt that he should be the first to land on the head of the vassal king.

What people didn't expect was that when the graves of these clan relatives and magnates were already three feet high, Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, was still able to walk into the highest power institution representing the empire, and Zhu Youzhen had to take a special time to meet him.

"The major affairs of the country are in the sacrifice and the Rong. The soldiers and soldiers who have been adrift in the second year of Chongzhen will return to Beijing in the near future. I want to hand over this matter to you, I don't know what King Qin wants? ”

For the King of Qin, who had already surrendered, Zhu Youzhen was much more magnanimous.

The king of Qin not only gave up the fief, but even returned all the fields of the fief to the imperial court, in exchange for nothing more than the freedom of imperial examination and work for himself and his family. Zhu Youzhen didn't care if there was anyone behind him to support him and give him ideas, what he wanted was an example and a specimen.

Therefore, even if it is to settle things, Zhu Youzhen still tries to use an inquiring tone as much as possible.

"If Your Majesty trusts you, the minister will be extremely willing."

The current King of Qin also put himself in the shoes of a courtier.

"The building of Valhalla has also been completed, which involves the arrangement of the Sheji family and country, and King Qin will have to worry about it."

"Obey." King Qin felt that knowing today, he had gained the trust of His Majesty the Emperor again.

But Zhu Youzhen was relaxed, and felt that he had thrown out the biggest trouble before the New Year.

According to his idea, the placement of the Heroic Spirits should be based on these dead Heroic Spirits, and there was no need for a grand ceremony. As soon as this idea was revealed, it received unanimous opposition from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites.

Okay, since you are doing things on other people's territory, you still need to respect the opinions of the local natives. Zhu Youzhen can't do anything else, but he also knows that this kind of thing must be handed over to the right person to do, and there won't be any big trouble.

Standing in His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu He Ruzhong and Qin King Zhu Cunshu whispered, in the matter of sacrifice, it is obvious that the common language of the Ministry of Rites and the King of Qin is far superior to his own.

If it weren't for the fact that there was something else on top of the Wuying Hall today, He Ruzhong would be ready to leave directly with King Qin.

Zhu Youzhen was wearing a bright yellow dress, standing on the throne, and nodded slightly.

The little eunuch beside him began to shout at the top of his voice:

"The first batch of Jiang Weichun and his parents met in the second year of Chongzhen, the Royal Army Academy."

"Xuan Royal Army Academy Chongzhen in the second year, the first batch of second place, Min Yu and his parents to meet."

"Xuan Royal Army Academy, Chongzhen, the second year, the first batch of third place, Dai Jiuzhang and his parents to meet."

This is the first batch of people Zhu Youzhen will meet today, and he is also the outstanding among the first batch of official graduates of the Army Military Academy this year.

The second batch of 96 students formed a guard of honor, dressed in black and red cloaks, and holding new rifles with cold bayonets, lined up in two rows in front of the royal guard of honor.

Six trumpeters raised a trumpet with a dragon flag with a red dragon on a black background and sounded the welcome song of the Ming army.

Jiang Weichun and they are okay, and they have not seen the emperor on weekdays, so before this big battle today, although they were a little nervous, they were not stage frightened, supported their parents, slowly got down from the royal carriage, and walked down the steps into the Wuying Palace.

Their relatives are completely different.

Jiang Weichun no longer has parents, and he can only finish reading with the help of his sister and brother-in-law. So here today are their sister and brother-in-law from the mountains of Guizhou, as well as their daughter.

Min is a son of Jingying in the capital, his father was originally a guerrilla, and today he is also wearing his former battle robe and following his son. His mother died when he was ten years old. Originally, there were two father's concubines who were scrambling to come, but they were blocked by their father with a word: "What kind of place is that?" You can go if you want to? ”

Dai Jiuzhang is an orphan, and he is one of the children of Zhu Youzhen's daughter, Princess Wuniang, who spent five buckets of millet from the beggars in the capital in exchange. It is also the largest one in Wu Niang's orphanage. Without parents, Dai Jiuzhang made his own decisions and invited Wu Niang to participate in his ceremony. Princess Wu Niang didn't refuse, but Wu Niang didn't come alone today, she also brought more than a dozen little orphans in the same orphanage.

Therefore, although Dai Jiuzhang has no parents, he is the largest group of people in the three families. For them alone, the Ministry of Rites used three carriages.

Zhu Youzhen took the lead, He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Chengzong, the head of the military department, and Yan Mingtai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood in a row.

Yan Mingtai presented the ranking certificate to each student.

Sun Chengzong brought the symbol of guerrilla to his students.

He Ruzhong handed an imperial plum blossom medal to His Majesty Zhu Youzhen, and he put it on the chest of the military uniform for each student in turn. For the parents, there is a huge plaque with the four characters of tin type benevolence written on it.

When he saw Princess Wuniang, Zhu Youzhen still felt that he had snubbed the child at this time, so he deliberately walked over and patted Princess Wuniang's head, and then asked Wang Chengen to take the princess and the little orphans around him to the apse to play.

"How is it, Dai Jiuzhang?" Zhu Youzhen watched Wu Niang leave, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Dai Jiuzhang. He had also seen this child, so he paid special attention to it when he was at school.

Last night, the academy arranged all the corresponding 370 vacancies in the school's auditorium. Students graduating from the first class can choose where they want to go according to the order of their grades.

"Where did you choose?" Greetings were also a necessary part of the event. Zhu Youzhen also looked at the parents and sisters of the two who were a little shaky, so he chose Dai Jiuzhang to ease the atmosphere first.

"Guerrilla artillery battalion of the First Army of the Ming Dynasty." Dai Jiuzhang said clearly.

As the third place, he did not choose the positions of idle magnates such as the General Staff of the Military Department and the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Military Department, but chose the most painful and dangerous place in the Ming Dynasty at present, which was a bit surprising to Zhu Youzhen.

"Okay!" Zhu Youzhen patted him on the shoulder happily.

"It's good to have your own ideas, my First Army of the Ming Dynasty, although the environment is a little more difficult, but it's not that anyone can go if they say they can go."

"What about you?" Zhu Youzhen observed that Jiang Weichun's sister's eyes were red, and he also guessed a little in his heart. However, Min Yu's father was still the style of the old Jingying general, and looked at his son with a smile.

"The minister chose not to collect the night in the northwest and prepared to go to the Ningxia Health Center." Jiang Weichun stood up first.

Well, this is another one who is not afraid of death. After the reorganization of Yebu, there are now less than 5,000 people left, and there are six guards in total. Among them, the Ningxia Health Institute is the top priority next year, and they will shoulder the heavy task of recovering the Hetao area of the Ming Dynasty.

"Has the academy already begun to be set up?" Zhu Youzhen asked Sun Chengzong as he walked to his desk. He knew that this kid chose Ningxiawei, who didn't collect at night, and he was also going to a big military mission.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already begun. Ningxia Wei is still in Lanzhou Mansion now, waiting for next year's unified dispatch. The school, together with the General Staff of the Military Department, has been rehearsed many times. ”

"I handed over these dolls to the military department, and the military department should also be attentive."

"The minister knows."

Zhu Youzhen took out a short gun from his desk and handed it to Jiang Weichun.

"If you can win the first place among the three hundred, I have confidence in you to go to Ningxiawei. This short spear was given to me by the Academy of Sciences, and with you, I will never need this thing, so I will give it to you for self-defense. The eldest sister is like a mother, and the mother is worried, remembering, you must complete the task, and you must come back neatly. ”

"Woo ......"

The sister next to Jiang Weichun couldn't hold back anymore and cried directly.

"Whoa! The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust. Jiang Weichun half-knelt and took the short gun handed over by Zhu Youzhen, and looked at his sister a little embarrassed.

"Okay, don't use the etiquette of the court. Before leaving, I accompanied my sister to take a walk around the Jingshi. ”

"What about you?" Zhu Youzhen finally asked Xiang Min Yu.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister chose the Fuzhou Navy." Min Yu saw the others and felt as if he was a little embarrassed. His father was even more embarrassed.

"We are dolls on the ground, we can sink to the bottom when we cross the river, Your Majesty is here today, you hurry up and change your choice for Lao Tzu." You go to Liaodong at night, Lao Tzu can send you over, what navy do you go to? ”

"Why, last year's Navy training had results?" Zhu Youzhen was very happy.

Last year, Xiong Wencan organized a group of sailors and gunboat commanders to come to the military academy to conduct a short-term training in the navy, but few of them were qualified, and Zhu Youzhen, who heard the news, was depressed for a long time.

"Last year, the Navy won the first place in the short training. Mr. Xiong even sent me a special letter. Min Yu said with a red face.

"It's a good thing, why are you embarrassed."

Zhu Youzhen rolled up a world map he had drawn from his desk and handed it to him.

"Today's affairs of the Ming Dynasty are in the northwest and in Liaodong. But you know what? Where is the 100 years of the Ming Dynasty? Right in the ocean, in the Navy! What's so embarrassing, the place you go to is more dangerous and harder, but it is also the most promising place! ”
