"Wang Banban, do you say that Wei Zhongxian is a loyal minister?" On the way back, Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Chengen with some emotion.

"Long live, we are all crippled. No matter where you are, you are despised. Now scolding slaves and maids is a eunuch, and there are many of them. The slave and the maid don't know what loyalty is, they only know that it's good to live the slave and the maid. For the rest, the slave doesn't care. As for Wei Zhongxian's loyalty, the slave maid is not qualified to comment. ”

Wang Chengen was silent for a moment and answered Zhu Youzhen's question seriously.

"Then leave it to posterity to judge!"

Wei Zhongxian's death did not make any waves.

Under the organization of Wang Chengen, a small funeral was held, which was also limited to a few people who took care of him.

In accordance with his wishes, Zhu ordered his ashes to be buried under a tree outside the Deling Tomb.

Li Jinzhong, he can continue to be loyal to the apocalypse in the future.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the capital is becoming more and more lively day by day.

The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month

Zhu Youzhen took Wang Chengen and a few guards out of the palace quietly. On a lively street in the west of the city, I wandered all the way to a small stall.

"Shopkeeper, come two zongzi. Eat here. ”

"Wait a minute! I'll take this guest's share first~"

"The Emperor... Why are you here!? Li Xiaohua called out in surprise.

"Come and see you, how is the business?" As he spoke, he motioned to Li Zhao that he did not need to salute.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year recently, and business is very good. We do not sell enough every day. ”

Since Li Dingguo went to the military academy to study, Zhu Youzhen asked people to find a small courtyard in the city and sent Li Zhao's mother and daughter out of the palace. First, it was inconvenient for Li Dingguo to enter the palace during the military academy holiday, and second, Li Xiaohua was always uncomfortable in the palace.

Zhou Yufeng was quite reluctant, worried about the livelihood of the mother and daughter.

But Li Zhao said that he would make zongzi and sell zongzi after leaving the palace.

So there is such a dumpling stall with a small cart.

"What about Rujing?"

"I went to school and said that there was a book left at school. Brother Emperor, are you eating here? ”

"Well, get one for your Uncle Chengen."

"Okay."

The two sat on a small stool behind the stall and ate zongzi, the taste of zongzi was not very good for Zhu Youzhen, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but at least the portion was enough and clean.

The process of eating zongzi was very peaceful, and there was no bloody plot where someone coveted the beauty of the mother and daughter and came to make trouble. When he was almost finished, Li Dingguo came back.

"Mother, sister, I'm back. How much did you sell today? ”

"Your Majesty is here." Li Xiaohua pulled Li Dingguo over and whispered.

"Who? Your Majesty!? ”

Li Dingguo was startled, looked behind, and sure enough, he saw two people sitting on a stool eating zongzi, not His Majesty.

"Hello Headmaster!"

Li Dingguo walked over and gave a standard military salute!

It's been almost three years since I went to military school! Finally, I have the opportunity to salute and shout out to the principal in person!

Li Dingguo's shout attracted the attention of passers-by around him, and they all looked at Zhu Youzhen curiously. I had to see who the headmaster was in this child's mouth, and when he saw that it was a young man, he quickly turned his eyes away.

The appearance is mediocre, what is there to see.

"Excuse me, I heard your sister go back to school to get books?"

"Yes, Headmaster, there's a math book left at school"

"How's your schoolwork?"

"It's okay!" Li Dingguo asked modestly.

"Long live, Li Dingguo is the first in all subjects." Wang Chengen interjected.

"Oh? Dingguo is so powerful!? Zhu Youzhen was surprised, Li Dingguo, who was a famous king of the two Turks, really deserved his reputation!

After eating the zongzi, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen wandered around together. I walked around the city again, and went to Global Premium and Global Bank to have a look, and then went back to the palace.

The New Year is coming in the hustle and bustle.

Zhengdan

The Great Pilgrimage

One by one, the foreign envoys finally met the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty and offered their own tributary gifts.

Gifts come from different countries and regions, and they can be described as diverse.

There are animals, there are plants. There is food and use.

Zhu Youzhen took out the things that had been prepared a long time ago and rewarded them to the envoys of various countries.

The rewards are also strange, mirrors, kitchen knives, toothbrushes, stockings, shampoo, stainless steel basins, plastic trash cans. There are so many strange things. There is no gold or silver jewelry.

Zhu Youzhen doesn't give them any face.

It's a bunch of cheating goods, and when they take some of their own sustenances, they want to exchange gold and silver for Daming, and they want to eat it.

The most hateful thing is the Siamese envoy, who dares to come to pay tribute with a few broken durian mangosteens and the like?

What about the lake ghosts?

Take this to test the cadres?

Naturally, these envoys have visited Global Premium and know that although these things are strange, they are worth a lot of money. The most important thing is that they have not seen it at all. So the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and ended the pilgrimage meeting in a chorus of praise.

Chongzhen five years, Renshen year.

It's here!

After the year, it was still a rare leisure, and Zhang Yan arranged a concubine for him a year ago: Yuan.

It's okay now, just put together a table of mahjong.

Concubine Tian is pregnant and can't sit for a long time, so Zhang Yan will be on top when she is resting. After a few days, Zhu Youzhen couldn't stand it. It's too tiring to sit all afternoon.

Overall, the holiday was enjoyable.

But this world is like this, some people are happy and some people are sad.

Zu Dashou was very worried.

After defeating Jiannu, Zhu Youzhen ordered him to lead his army to camp in the area of Fushun Pass and Yahu Pass. Prevent the slaves from entering the customs and looting. The New Year is all about here.

By this time, he had already learned that His Majesty was going to abolish the guard.

Although most of his subordinates are now recruiters, the guard is his roots, and it is the foundation of his ancestors' lives.

Right now, His Majesty is going to dig up their roots.

"Big brother, what does Your Majesty mean by this? As soon as he beat away Jiannu, do you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey? Zu Dale said with some dissatisfaction. There are also Zu Dacheng, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Kefa and other ancestral people in the house.

"Beat away Jiannu? Did you knock it away? Is it your credit? Zu Dashou glared at him irritably.

"Didn't we help? Didn't any of your brothers die? In my opinion! Simply..."

"Shut up!" Zu Dashou interrupted Zu Dale's words with a loud shout! "Are you crazy? Do you think this Liaodong surname is ancestor? Where do you think you eat, drink, play, and play? Did you steal it yourself from Jiannu? If you still want to live well, stay honestly, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I will send you to the capital to accompany Zu Dabi! Get out! ”

Zu Dale saw that his brother was furious, and he didn't dare to speak back, so he walked out angrily.

"Why should the eldest brother be so angry? This matter, the imperial court. Alas......"

After Zu Dale left, Zu Dacheng asked cautiously.

"Dacheng, the sky has changed. We can no longer live with the same thoughts, Your Majesty is a man who does not rub sand in his eyes. If Your Majesty really wants to cure our crimes, I am afraid that you and I will at least be exiled from our homes. In this Liaoning, Ni Yuanlu has the final say, and Zhu Kezhen has the final say. We, what we say doesn't count. Believe it or not, if you dare to say the words of today's great happiness, he will definitely die! ”

Zu Dashou sighed and began to analyze the current situation.

"Is that scary?"

"Say less, do more! Let's go back. You guys should be honest too. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to save you. Zu Dashou waved his hand and said to several children and nephews.

"Yes!"

Several people got up and left, leaving Zu Dashou alone and sitting quietly on the chair. The candlelight flickered his shadow, and he seemed a little lonely.

However, he didn't know that in Hetuala, not far from Fushun Pass, where he was, Huang Taiji's mood was even worse than him.

Since the incident with the thirteen armors of Taama, it has gone through ups and downs. From the Battle of Salhu, to the Battle of the Hunhe. and then to the capture of Liaoshen, which can be described as overwhelming. Took control of a large area of land in Liaodong.

"The Great Age of Genes"

But somehow, it suddenly became what it is now.

After years of hard work, he returned to the pre-liberation period.

He thought of the imperial palace under construction in Shenyang City, and remembered all the treasures he hadn't had time to take away because of his hasty escape. He got angry, threw away the grilled fish in his hand, and went to Da Yu'er's account.

"Great Khan, why are you here?" As soon as Da Yu'er finished eating, she saw Huang Taiji walking in with a gloomy face.

Huang Taiji didn't say a word, pressed Da Yu'er down on the bed, and moved rudely.

He needs to vent.

The sixteenth day of the first month

Officials at all levels who had finished the holiday returned to their posts.

Zhu Youzhen gave an order and asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead the troops to set off.

The maintenance center was reorganized and began.

Jiubian once again became the object of attention of the DPRK's Chinese martial arts.

And he started a new study.

He was going to get some salt and hit the rich smugglers. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about killing all these people who didn't pay taxes before, but later he found out that it was cool to be so dry, but the consequences might be very bad.

Ordinary people can't eat salt!

Even if new salt merchants are being supported, it is not a symptomatic treatment.

Alas.

Bear with me, and be cool later.
