Although the Ming Dynasty is now in the last days of ups and downs, especially in the Jianghuai area, many people think that the Ming Dynasty has run out, and it is inevitable to change the dynasty.

But whether it is the Ming Emperor Chongzhen who is really dead or fake, or the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is still the world of the Zhu family, and this has not changed at all.

Therefore, when it came to the son surnamed Zhu, all the officials present were shocked.

In the Ming Dynasty, the surname Zhu was a national surname, and after Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, all those with the surname Zhu changed their surnames as long as they were not his relatives.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was still a prince surnamed Zhu, and even ordinary people would think that this person was either an imperial relative or a national relative, not to mention these system Chinese military officials?

Therefore, the prefect of Yangzhou did not dare to slack off, "What is the name of this Gongzi official seal surnamed Zhu?"

"My lord, Childe said that his name is Zhu Wu."

"Zhu Wu?"

Among the military and political dignitaries of Yangzhou present, the highest was the fourth rank, and the youngest was also the seventh rank official, including Liu Zhaoji, all looked at each other.

Some have been officials in Yangzhou for half their lives, and they have never heard of a son named Zhu Wu in Yangzhou.

It was still Governor Ma who was well-informed, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please Zhu Gongzi."

There was not much time, and Chongzhen came in with five escort masters.

The eyes of these civil and military officials present all fell on Chongzhen, and at this time, Chongzhen's sunglasses were also taken off, and the birdcage was not mentioned, but he was holding a folding fan in his hand and wearing silk and satin, which was the image of a merry son.

However, although Chongzhen is young, even if he is a traverser, he has been the emperor for so many days, and his temperament has long been cultivated, and the majesty of this face, coupled with these five guards and guards, although they are dressed as servants, their temperament is unique.

Whether it's two men or three beautiful women, all of them are not angry and self-assured.

In particular, those brilliant eyes are alert, and at first glance they are not idle.

These officials are all old fritters in the officialdom, they have read countless people, and they are very accurate in seeing people, and they feel that this Zhu Gongzi is definitely not an ordinary person.

Liu Zhaoji and Han Hu, the two military attachés, are both people with martial arts, and they soon saw that including Chongzhen, these six are all people who practice martial arts.

Therefore, Ma Zhifu took the lead, and these cultural relics officials all stood up unconsciously, clenched their fists at Chongzhen and smiled, but they didn't know how to say it.

"Hahaha, my lords, I'm glad to see you,"

Chongzhen laughed, shook his fan, and didn't wait for these people to give up his seat, he came to a chair and sat down straight, and the five men and women who escorted him stood behind him in an orderly manner.

No one needs to introduce him, Chongzhen looked at the clothes of these officials and their seats, and immediately knew which one was the prefect and which one was Liu Zhaoji.

As the emperor of a country, of course, the officials of his own family are like a few treasures, the difference in rank will be different by one level, and the difference between civil and military affairs is more obvious.

The others were all nameless, Chongzhen swept it at a glance.

But there were three officials, and Chongzhen's gaze stopped for a moment.

First Liu Zhaoji, Chongzhen's gaze stayed on his face for two breaths, and he instantly felt that this was a military general worthy of his reputation.

Chongzhen's sharp gaze immediately saw that Liu Zhaoji's martial arts cultivation was the 7th layer of the body refining realm, and the majestic country-shaped face, with this burly figure, was definitely a fierce general with ten thousand enemies on the battlefield.

Then Chongzhen's eyes fell on the face of Ma Minglu, the prefect of Yangzhou, it is said that the official of the prefect of Ma has a good reputation, and finally Chongzhen's eyes fell on the body of the official Tang Laihe, although the official Tang is not big, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his face is righteous.

On this trip to Yangzhou, half of Chongzhen came to these three.

In history, the three of them were the main ones to resist the Qing Dynasty, and launched the Yangzhou military and civilians to fight against the warlord Gao Jie, which was passed on as a beautiful talk, especially Liu Zhaoji, the Qing army broke through Yangzhou, he led his subordinates to fight without retreating, and started a street battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and finally outnumbered after killing hundreds of enemies, and finally died heroically

Country.

This is a hero of the Ming Dynasty who shines in the annals of history, and Chongzhen certainly has to value it.

At this time, the prefect Ma Minglu spoke first, and it was not rude to clasp his fists and bow his hands, and he did not sit down, and the other officials were even more embarrassed to sit, so they just stood there.

"Gong Zhu is invited, I don't know where the prince's mansion is, what is the important matter to come to see this official and these adults?"

Chongzhen smiled indifferently and sat there shaking his fan steadily, "Governor Ma, General Liu, it doesn't matter where this son's mansion is, the important thing is that the traitor Liu Zeqing is trapped in Yangzhou City, I don't know what you plan?" Is there a good way to defend the city and retreat?"

As soon as Chongzhen said this, these people were stunned, and they discussed it all night, just for this matter.

This Zhu Gongzi is really not simple, and his conversation is even better, at the juncture of Yangzhou City's life and death, he cares about the affairs of his family and country, and he is also a husband.

It's not like those gentlemen who walk their dogs with eagles and dogs, they only know how to eat, drink and enjoy themselves all day long, and they don't care when the sky falls.

Ma Minglu said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. Childe's righteousness is admired by the house, and we have been discussing countermeasures overnight, I don't know what Childe's opinion is?"

"Yes, what do you think?" They all hugged their fists and bowed their hands to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen said: "What this son means is that Liu Zeqing must not be allowed to come in and fight against thieves."

Ma Minglu, Liu Zhaoji, and Tang Laihe were suddenly in awe, "Gongzi is high-minded, this official admires him, Gongzi should be a person who practices martial arts, right?"

"Hahaha, don't hide it from the lords, my son is good at martial arts, but these servants are excellent in martial arts, and any one of them can be beaten by thousands of horses." Chongzhen talked and laughed.

Tang Wancai, Gu Shunyi and other 5 people behind him, hearing the emperor praise them like this, pulled their chests high, and looked like they were not giving in.

Ma Minglu, Liu Zhaoji, and Tang Laihe saw that the five people around Chongzhen were really heroic, and nodded frequently, "That's good, that's good, Gongzi is willing to help, it's the blessing of all the people of Yangzhou, and the blessing of the emperor!"

It's just that the two people sitting there listened a little unpleasantly, and felt that Chongzhen's words were a bit big, and the smile on his face gradually shook his head.

Chongzhen saw it in his eyes, and said with a cold smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, of course defending the city is not a problem, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the traitor Liu Zeqing are just the name of ants in the eyes of this son, and they are not enough to worry about. It's just that my lordship, this son wants to know, who is the so-called emperor in your mouth?"

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
