The incense that Gong E placed in the Xuande furnace during the day still exudes a faint smell.

Colorless and formless, but it penetrates into the heart and spleen, and soothes people's mood.

Zhu Di was lying on the couch with his face on his side, his eyes were closed, his breath was even, and his legs were stacked together, as if he had fallen asleep.

As soon as Liu Yongcheng came in, he was stunned.

In his opinion, although it was Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu lying on it, this appearance was the posture commonly used by Yongle Emperor Zhu Di in the Qianqing Palace.

For many years, this unique pose had only been used by the old master.

In an instant, Liu Yongcheng seemed to have returned to the happy life of following the Yongle Emperor in the south and the north, and the golden iron horse, and after a long time, he reacted back and called softly:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Ahh

Zhu Di opened his eyes, stretched his waist, put his hands on his chest, leaned on the couch, and said with a smile: "You are here, sit down, the old rule, just sit there." ”

"I called you tonight to gossip with you."

The old rules?

Looking at the seat that had been prepared for himself on the side, it was exactly the same as when Emperor Yongle was alive thirty years ago, Liu Yongcheng was completely stupid.

What's going on?

Is it a coincidence?

Liu Yongcheng sat down, a little suspicious, and he didn't dare to tell the questions in his heart.

Seeing his frowning look, Zhu Di laughed in his heart, and naturally understood what he was thinking, today's arrangement of the Qianqing Palace was to make him confused.

directly said that he was reborn and returned, and it was returned to his great-grandson, no one would believe it.

However, if we don't say it explicitly, engage in some illusory things, and take advantage of Liu Yongcheng's belief in Buddhism, which is almost superstitious, it may have unexpected effects.

The art of war is cloudy: Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause people but not people. He who can make the enemy self-inflicted, will also benefit.

Zhu Di is well versed in it, when Jianwen's army was ten times larger than himself, he used the mentality of the enemy army to divide and disintegrate, win over the weak side, and divide the strong side, so that he could not be defeated in a hundred battles and be invincible.

"I had a dream in the middle of the night, and now I have a great headache." Zhu Di said as he rubbed his temples, his face was ignorant and at a loss.

Liu Yongcheng asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty what kind of dream is it?" ”

Zhu Di sighed, lowered his head and said: "I dreamed of a person, I could only see the outline in the dream, I couldn't see the face clearly, he claimed to be Emperor Taizongwen, and said that the Ming Dynasty is now at the moment of life and death. ”

"He also said that when you entered the palace in the name of Liu Ma'er's mother, you were eleven years old, and it was Emperor Taizu Gao who kept you exceptionally. Emperor Taizongwen gave you the name Yongcheng, which means that you will always be sincerely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and now it is time for you to repay your kindness..."

"I don't know, is this true or false?"

Zhu Di said very indifferently, he was simply narrating the story, but as a listener, Liu Yongcheng's heart was turbulent.

Liu Yongcheng recalled a past.

When he entered the palace at the age of twelve, his surname was Liu Ru and his name was Ma'er, and it was Emperor Taizu Gao who saw that he "looked fierce and had a majestic demeanor", so he made an exception and retained him as a personal companion.

As for the name Yongcheng, it was also given by Zhu Di, which meant that he should always be sincerely loyal, and since then, Zhu Di began to let him lead troops to guard the frontier, setting a precedent for ministers to lead troops, that is, the beginning of the ministers' general army.

Of course, he also lived up to Zhu Di's trust back then, and the commander of the army often fought in armor, and he was the first to take the lead, so he repeatedly broke through Mongolia and made the captives change their color.

These things should only be known to Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizongwen, especially the real age is one year younger, which is even more difficult to mention!

Combined with the various coincidences just after entering the door, the expression on Liu Yongcheng's face kept changing.

Could it be...

Emperor Taizongwen really dreamed just now?

When Zhu Di saw this wonderful look on his face, he knew that his goal had been achieved, so he sighed and suddenly asked, "By the way, I remember, that Liu Ju who guards Xizhimen is your servant, right?" ”

Liu Yongcheng's mind was still in a state of panic, and he said very solemnly: "It's the slave's servant, did he do anything offensive to His Majesty?" ”

"That's not it, last time he went out with me to attack Warat, and he beheaded more than 800 levels with me, I remembered it, and when Warat retreated in the future, I should give him a credit."

Zhu Di praised: "I have your uncle and nephew by my side, why worry about the injustice? ”

Liu Yongcheng hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, it is his honor to be able to do things for Your Majesty, and the slaves and maids dare not ask for merit and rewards for him." ”

"So be it, I'm tired."

"The slave and maid are gone."

Watching him bow down and withdraw from the Qianqing Palace, the smile on Zhu Di's face stopped abruptly.

Fooling others to say that they gave themselves dreams, why do you always feel weird when you say this?

......

When Zhu Di summoned Liu Yongcheng, Yu Fu, the two were also having a long talk.

A waitress brought a tea set, placed it in front of the two people on the table, poured it one by one, and then stood aside.

Yu Qian picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Wang Ge Lao came to visit late at night, I'm afraid it's not for me to drink weak tea, right?" I don't have any famous tea. ”

Wang Zhi also picked up the teacup, took a sip and said: "Yu Butang called it like this, alienated the relationship between you and me, coarse tea and light rice, searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, refreshing, is exactly what I need now." ”

Yu Qian smiled and stopped talking.

"I don't know if Yu Butang knows that now, the situation in Xizhimen has changed a little." Wang looked at Yu Qian directly, and saw that the other party didn't want to talk, so he had to continue:

"In the afternoon, the emperor knocked on the door and issued a holy decree to let the Xizhimen defenders open the city gate, and Yu Butang didn't know yet."

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, a little angry: "Why don't I know about this?" ”

Wang Zhi smiled and said: "The problem is here, you don't know, I only found out not long ago, the Queen Mother knew later than me, and the Manchu Dynasty attacked the ministers." ”

Yu Qian suppressed his anger and frowned: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say, who first knew about this matter so much?" Wang leaned back in the chair, looked at Yu Qian, who was pacing back and forth to think, and said lightly:

"It was His Majesty who first knew about it today, and the Xizhimen guard, that is, the Liu Ju you sent, was the first to tell Your Majesty."

"There are a lot of unhappy people down there, and a lot of them come to me, what do you think?"

Only then did Yu Qian discover the change in the state of affairs, because in the past, if there was such a thing, Liu Ju would be the first to tell himself, and then the queen mother and ministers.

Now it has changed, the first to tell the emperor, then the queen mother and the ministers.

That is to say, in Liu Ju's heart, the emperor's specific gravity has changed.

Then the question is, is there only one Xizhimen Governor Liu Ju who has changed his mentality?

Or is it that many people have subtly ceased to be the same as before, but this change has not yet reached a level that is enough to be revealed.

"What do you say?" Yu Qian sat down, suddenly looked at Wang Zhi closely, and said in a deep voice: "This is not my responsibility, now my task is to defend the Jingshi and repel the Warat people, that's all." ”

"Ge Lao, I advise you to leave it alone, don't be dragged into the water, the water here is very deep."

He also understood that the newly enthroned Emperor Jingtai was obviously much deeper in his mind than he looked.

As the emperor's share in the hearts of the generals increased, the number of ministers who oversaw the soldiers naturally decreased.

Judging from this matter, in just a few days, the military power has been quietly regained by the new emperor, which is a very bad signal for the civilian clique.

At the beginning, no one expected that the emperor would personally go out to fight, and the impact would be so great.

Of course, Yu Qian now also suspects that what the new emperor has done so far is just to go out and fight?

This is still visible, how many means are there that cannot be seen?
