Chapter 48: Zhu Youzhen's Ambition

Jiang Dejing came to the south study, and the emperor wanted to invite him to dinner, saying that he was seeing him off, which made Jiang Dejing very puzzled and even more confused.

Li Banghua had already arranged to take care of Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, and went to the prison cell of Fusi in Beizhen to inspect it, and just returned to the south study, "Zhongbao, you are here, let's go, don't let the emperor wait." ”

"Don't! Dejing was terrified to death, how could the emperor remember to see him off? This is unheard of! First of all, congratulations to a few of you who have been promoted. ”

Li Banghua said with a smile: "Zhongbao, you are just anxious, otherwise, it is not you Lord Jiang who is sitting in the first auxiliary seat?" ”

The early dynasty arrested Li Jiantai, and in the afternoon, he took out Wei Zaode and replaced Li Banghua as the first assistant, Ni Yuanlu also entered the cabinet, Jiang Dejing just found out, he guessed that something big must have happened in the court, but what happened specifically, he really didn't know, and continued to wonder about it, but subconsciously told him that this was a good thing, "Brother Meng Yan, are you kidding, quickly tell Emperor Dejing that he suddenly wants to see him off, what is going on?" ”

He is also strange, Li Banghua, the old gentleman, usually doesn't like to joke.

Ni Yuanlu laughed, "Brother Zhongbao, have you seen who the emperor invited to dinner?" The emperor's grace is mighty! ”

Jiang Dejing was a little anxious, "Ruyu, are you also laughing?" ”

Fan Jingwen said with a smile: "Brother Zhongbao, can't you guess what the emperor means?" The emperor is reluctant to let you go, and when he sees the emperor for a while, he has to hurry up and ask for guilt, the emperor has good intentions, you can't live up to the holy will. ”

"Hey! Ay! Mengzhang, what the hell is going on? You tell me to stay in the dark, don't let me keep it in the dark. ”

"Brother Zhongbao, remember what the younger brother said, when I saw the emperor, I should hurry up and ask for guilt, let's go, don't let the emperor wait for us, this is not the way to be a minister."

Several people walked towards the Qianqing Palace, and Wang Lian, who was on duty, immediately smiled and guided these people into the Qianqing Palace.

Jiang Dejing knelt down first, "Your Majesty, the minister is sorry for the emperor, and the emperor is worried, the minister is guilty, and the minister is sincerely afraid." ”

The current Zhu Youzhen, the mood is as good as it is, this Jiang Dejing is indeed talented, Jiang Dejing resigned at that time, which made him very annoyed, and now he feels that it doesn't matter, do people also feel hopeless? He wasn't like that at the beginning, but as the emperor, he couldn't say small things to his subordinates, "Zhongbao, I heard that you are going home, I will set up a banquet for you to see you off, get up, and follow me to the restaurant." ”

Jiang Dejing was frightened and confused, why wasn't the emperor annoyed when he saw him? At that time, I was furious when I resigned, and today it is a bit weird.

The group came to the restaurant, the table in this restaurant was quite large, Zhang Ping was a little surprised, didn't he say that this is the place where the emperor eats breakfast and supper? With such a big table? I rub! Today's dishes are on the grade, just a few cold dishes just came up to make people appetizing, it seems that the imperial kitchen is not simple.

Zhu Youzhen sat down, Li Banghua and Fan Jingwen sat on Zhu Youzhen's right hand, Ni Yuanlu was ready to play horizontally, and the position on the left near Zhu Youzhen was the host and guest position, which was obviously Jiang Dejing's, and the position next to Jiang Dejing He felt that it should be left to Zhang Ping.

Jiang Dejing didn't dare to sit down, so he sat down at Zhu Youzhen's signal.

Zhang Ping wanted Ni Yuanlu to take a seat, but Ni Yuanlu refused, so the two of them humbled each other, Zhu Youzhen spoke, "Okay, Ruyu sits on the head, Cixuan is my nephew, and he is here to accompany everyone, sit down." ”

Jiang Dejing looked at Zhang Ping, the emperor's nephew, which prince's son? Isn't there a rule that no one in the royal family can leave the fiefdom without the emperor's consent? The emperor is still very close to this young man? It should be a close branch, but I haven't heard of anyone with a son of this age?

"Huh! Let me introduce, Zhongbao, this child's name is Cixuan, he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and he has been worshiped under the knees of the Queen Mother as a son, and he can be regarded as my nephew. ”

Jiang Dejing felt extremely puzzled, the Queen Mother recognized her son? Can the Queen Mother accept her son casually? The emperor also approved and called us to dinner, what the hell is going on? If you don't do your own business, who can tell the royal affairs clearly?

Li Banghua looked at Jiang Dejing, "Zhongbao! In the past two days, you have not been in the court, but the court has undergone earth-shaking changes, the emperor took out Li Jiantai and Wei Zaode, and arrested Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, the two things that have brought disaster to the country and the people, the three of us are fortunate enough to enter the cabinet are the emperor's fault love, by the way, Nanjing Shi Kefa is also the second assistant of the cabinet, and the emperor ordered Shi Kefa to preside over Jiangnan as a second assistant, do you think about Jiangnan has been stable since then? This pavilion also tells you, General Zhou Yuji killed 70,000 or 80,000 rogues in the first battle of Daizhou-Ningwuguan, and scared Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng will definitely not dare to be arrogant for the time being, but General Zhou Yuji is not dead, the emperor sent the governor to save Zhou Yuji, in addition, our court is not short of money, the emperor's inner treasury is full of no place, and the silver treasury of the household department is stored with nine million taels, and the emperor will make great achievements in the future, and our Ming Dynasty Zhongxing is just around the corner. It's not something we can speculate about as courtiers, you shouldn't, you shouldn't resign! Don't say that the emperor wants to lead our Ming Dynasty to Zhongxing, even if the court can't get better, we should also be courtiers and die! ”

Jiang Dejing was embarrassed, Li Banghua was right, and immediately stood up, retreated to a spacious place and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please punish the minister for being disloyal and unfilial, the minister knows that he is wrong." ”

Of course, Jiang Dejing also knew that this was Li Banghua helping him say good things, this Li Banghua was a stubborn old man, when did he ever pat the emperor's sycophants? Didn't you forgive him for the emperor's pleasure? But he was also surprised that Zhou Yuji didn't die? Did the emperor send the governor to save Zhou Yuji? What's going on? At the beginning, Li Zicheng called, Zhou Yuji asked the court for help, and the court had no soldiers to send, so he sent 2,000 men and horses to Zhou Yuji. Who is the governor sent by the emperor to save Zhou Yuji? With such a capable person, why hasn't the emperor said it all the time? Is the court rich? Where did you get the money? Are you kidding? The situation of the imperial court, can I, who has been the first assistant for a few days, know about it? The emperor's inner treasury is full, and every household has nine million in stock? Are you kidding?

But thinking about it again, can Li Banghua make such a joke? What's going on here?

Zhu Youzhen listened to what Li Banghua said, and his heart was warm, if he wanted to talk about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one could catch up with Li Banghua in terms of loyalty, Li Banghua said it well! I have done my best to die, and I am moved! I was really blind before, I didn't reuse this old man, the old man in the court said that he wanted to do it for a few more years and lie in the coffin and go back to his hometown, I wanted to cry when I heard it, I regretted it! Let's see who can do this in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? What about those nobles who have received the emperor's grace? At the critical moment, no one stood up and didn't say anything, Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, the two bastards, are still in the pit all the time, alas! This person's heart is really not ancient! Or Cixuan is right, these gentlemen have long forgotten their duties, and they all feel that it is a matter of course to enjoy the gifts of the country one by one, if a big event comes, the defection and defection to the enemy are faster than the other, this time they will take advantage of the case of Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, catch a group and kill a group, otherwise they can't shock Xiaoxiao, what should I do with that old thing of Zhou Kui? It seems that you still have to listen to Cixuan's opinion, you can't just let him go, special! He no longer has the emperor in his eyes, and I don't care what kind of country he is! But the queen is a good person, will this break the queen's heart? Alas, it's really hard to do!

In terms of loyalty, this Jiang Dejing is not as good as Li Banghua, but this Jiang Dejing is also a martyr with the country, which is not bad, forget it, spare him, but this problem of resigning at every turn cannot be used to, "Jiang Dejing, if I didn't know that you didn't have two hearts, I would have dealt with you a long time ago, since I knew that I was wrong, I wouldn't pursue you, don't I know how to treat my subordinates?" If I kill you, won't I become a faint king? ”

Just these few words scared Jiang Dejing into sweating, "The minister really knows that he is wrong, and he forgets that the emperor took in the minister, and the minister is willing to be a petty official, he can do anything, and he doesn't dare to resign anymore." ”

"Hehehehehe! So get up! ”

Fan Jingwen and Ni Yuanlu knew what to say, and both of them stood up and saluted Zhu Youzhen, "The emperor is shengming!" ”

Zhu Youzhen saluted comfortably! "Come on! Come! Come! Cixuan poured wine, our monarch and ministers drank it once, these two days, I and Cixuan drank twice, I used to think that drinking is really a chore, now I think drinking is a very pleasant thing, in the future, our monarchs and ministers are free, we must often drink together and be happy! ”

Seeing that several people were looking at him with surprised eyes, Zhu Youzhen wondered, "Hey, hey! You guys won't say I've become a cup glut, will you? ”

Several people immediately agreed, "How dare you! How dare you! The ministers just felt that the emperor had changed. ”

Zhu Youzhen asked, "It's getting better?" Or has it gone bad? ”

Ni Yuanlu smiled: "I have become extremely wise." ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed, "Haha! Comfortable! Comfortable! I can tell you, if I do something wrong, you must be bold and admonished! ”

"Definitely! Certain! We are willing to follow the emperor and assist the emperor to be a generation of saints! ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed loudly, "To be a generation of saints? That's not enough, I want to be the first emperor of the ages! ”

This arrogant statement stunned Li Banghua and the others, and they all looked at Zhu Youzhen in surprise, this is not the original emperor, why is this ambition so inflated?

"Hahahaha! I have all the loves, and I have the baby bump of Zhu Cixuan, can I become an emperor through the ages? I have thought about it, I not only want to completely eliminate Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but also let the people of the world live a really good life, not only to eliminate Jianlu and recover Liaodong, but also to completely eliminate Jianyu, conquer Mongolia and the Western Regions, and send ministers to inspect various countries like Sanbao eunuchs, and in the future, all countries will come to the court and the four seas will surrender! ”

My mother! Li Banghua, Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, and Jiang Dejing were all stunned.

Zhang Ping smiled, this Zhu Youzhen is an open-minded person today, if you really have such ambitions, buddy will help you to the end, if you don't have such a plan, quickly get out of the way, don't occupy the pit and don't, let's see if Zhu Cihong dares to do this.
