Chapter 24 Seeing the Empire, the Heart is also Sad

Zhu Cihao stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Then he said to the person next to him, a middle-aged man surnamed Li Minggeng: "Let's do it, this time Xiao Wang wants to be the supervisor who exterminates the thieves." ”

Li Geng bowed his head: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates are six points sure of this matter." If His Highness can convince His Majesty, he will be nine points sure. ”

Zhu Cihao nodded, and then said nothing.

The capital has arrived.

Yongle time, the Ming Dynasty moved the capital here, the line of the capital system, the original Jingshi Jinling in the south, it became the capital. At this point, there is a king who dies.

After all, Jingshi is Jingshi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Roughly due to the removal of the danger of building slaves, there is less urgency and more leisure among the Beijing divisions.

There are people, merchants, visitors from the south to the north, dignitaries, and gangsters, all of which are all-encompassing.

It's as if the whole world is condensed in this huge city.

Zhu Cihao took Zhao Yu with him, he was a big look, and he didn't hide it at all, and he entered the city. Before Ouchi, Emperor Chongzhen had already gotten the news.

Subsequently, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, the most powerful group of people, also got the news, and their expressions were different.

In the palace, the emperor said that the empress smiled and said: "The prince went out of the horse, and he really never returned empty-handed." ”

Empress Zhou was a little worried: "Hao'er is only fifteen, Your Majesty will let him go to Liaodong, if there are three long and two short, teach me how to live?"

The emperor sighed: "It was not me who sent Hao'er to go, but Hao'er came to ask for his life." Zitong, you should know that Hao'er can speak well, but I can't talk about him. Besides, now that the country is in danger, Hao'er is my son, the prince of the world, and it is time to take some responsibilities. ”

The queen was silent for a moment and said, "Finally, nothing happened." ”

"It's not going to happen. The emperor said: "I have already sent Jinyi Wei to protect secretly, and I also gave Hong Chengchou a decree to guard him carefully. At present, Jiannu is frightened, shrinking into the nest, and Hao'er is going, which is also regarded as an autumn outing. ”

smiled again: "But Hao'er is also a ghost elf." Jin Yiwei almost lost his trace. ”

Speaking of which, I was also a little scared.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that his son was a godsend. Much more capable than yourself. It is said that in recent years, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the state affairs were inadequate, and he had already pondered about cultivating the crown prince.

If something really happens this time, I'm afraid I will regret it.

Thankfully, it's back.

This kind of worry has been buried in Emperor Chongzhen's heart for half a month. Half a month ago, after the prince arrived in Liaodong, he lost his whereabouts, which really shocked Emperor Chongzhen, and under the anger, the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing reprimanded several times. It's just that the queen was worried and didn't say anything.

Even if it is mentioned now, it is only an understatement.

The emperor said to Wang Chengen, who was beside him: "You send someone to bring Hao'er, by the way, and that Zhao Zhuangshi, I want to meet this god general." ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed and retreated.

For about half an hour, the emperor and the queen were waiting a little boring, Wang Chengen came in, bowed and said, "The prince and Zhao Zhuangshi have arrived." ”

The emperor exhaled and received him with the empress in his regular clothes.

"Pass in. ”

Zhu Cihao was in front and Zhao Yu was behind, and the two followed suit, but they never flinched. With his head held high, he entered the palace.

This is Cining Palace, where the queen is located.

At the entrance, I looked up and saw two ninety-five dragons and phoenixes sitting on the head.

Zhu Cihao defeated his parents first and retreated to the side to sit down.

Only then did Zhao Yu face the emperor and empress.

He was not afraid of royal majesty, and raised his head without flinching. When he looked at the emperor and queen, he saw that these two people, dressed in clothes, were also washed and white.

There are patches on the queen's clothes!

This made Zhao Yu extremely surprised.

Isn't the emperor and empress like this? Isn't it rich in the world?

Suddenly, I remembered some of the things that Zhu Cihao said.

Only then did I know for sure that due to the wars in Liaodong, frequent natural disasters, and the rise of thieves, the emperor's internal funds had long been exhausted. I had to cut back on food and clothing!

Is this heaven's home?

Zhao Yu actually felt some sadness for it.

That Emperor Chongzhen was probably only in his thirties, his temples were white, and his complexion was mostly tired. Queen Zhou is a good mother in the world, but she is like an ordinary family, but her face is kind and gentle, and her eyes are like water.

If you throw away a layer of identity and that touch of majesty, I am afraid that life will be a little worse than that of an ordinary well-off family?

It is said that Zhao Yu does not have a good impression of the emperor of the Zhu family. This world belongs to the Zhu family. But the world is so erosive, and the Zhu family can't escape its responsibility.

The death of his parents under the Tartar knife is that the son of the Zhu family failed to protect the people.

But now that he saw this emperor and the queen, Zhao Yu suddenly felt that he couldn't blame him.

This emperor doesn't know how hard he is, even cutting back on food and clothing, how can he blame them?

With a faint sigh, Zhao Yu bowed and bowed: "Zhao Yu, a grass people, has seen the Son of Heaven and the Queen." ”

Wang Chengen, who was beside the emperor, was about to speak, but he didn't bow down in the face of the emperor, which was really rebellious. but was stopped by the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen laughed heartily and said, "What a warrior, I can be regarded as waiting for you!"

Then he hurriedly said, "Give me a seat." ”

And then there was some small talk.

It's nothing more than asking about Zhao Yu's background, growth, and some trivial things. This made Zhao Yu feel that the emperor and queen were not much different from the neighbors next door.

After that, the meal also proved that the emperor was thrifty.

The emperor, the empress, the crown prince, plus Zhao Yu, four people and five dishes. Two of the meat dishes, the remaining three are vegetarian, one small dish after another, and the portion is pitiful. According to Zhao Yu's stomach, all this is poured in, and only the bottom is filled, but seeing the emperor like this, it is not easy to say much, so he can only endure it.

After thinking about leaving the palace, I will find a place to eat well.

When eating, the emperor did not have the rule of not saying anything about food, he was very kind, and he also served Zhao Yu with vegetables. So is the Queen. Zhao Yu didn't hide his words, he just said that he came here, that is, the glorious lintel, and the inheritance of the ancestors.

The emperor also said that he was real.

It is indeed in.

It's not that Zhao Yu doesn't have a heart, but he feels that it's not necessary.

That's what it is, twists and turns, what does it mean to hide and hide?

After eating, after chatting a little more, the emperor instructed Zhao Yu to attend the court meeting tomorrow, and gave him a pass token, and Wang Chengen arranged a residence, and then left.

The crown prince personally sent Zhao Yu out of the palace, and after saying goodbye, Zhao Yu lived in a house not far from the palace under the guidance of a little eunuch.

The little eunuch also said that this house used to be a noble family's house, but the noble's family was ruined, and the house was sold several times, and then returned to the government.

It happened to be rewarded to Zhao Yu.

The house is not small, a big house with three entrances and three exits, a back garden, and a small school field.

However, it was dusty and the garden was full of weeds.

There is no need for Zhao Yu to worry about these, there are more than a dozen little eunuchs from the palace, and they will be sorted out quickly.

It's just deserted, and in the end, only Zhao Yu is left.

Fortunately, the prince's entourage Li Geng arrived later, and he also brought ten maids and ten attendants. That's what makes this house a little popular.

He also sent a thousand taels of silver to Zhao Yu for use.

Li Geng also explained, but the prince has secretly sent people to do business over the years, but in fact he has accumulated some wealth. But it has never been used.

Zhao Yu knew it.

What is the purpose of the prince's accumulation of wealth? Not to enjoy happiness, but to turn the tide and help the building to fall. There will be more places to spend money in the future.

This money, even Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know.

Otherwise, when the Liao salary was levied, it would have been looted by the emperor long ago.

So he settled down in this house.

Zhao Yu didn't recognize his life either, so he first meditated and practiced qi and blood for half a night at night, and slept for less than two hours, and the time came.

It wasn't dawn yet, but the morning party was so early.

An attendant came to remind him that it was time to go to court.

Zhao Yu changed into the clothes brought by the attendant and went out of the house to the palace gate.

Zhao Yu took out two hundred taels of the silver that Li Geng brought yesterday, and selected a leader from among the attendants and maids, and gave each of them one a hundred taels, which was temporarily used for decoration and daily needs.

This garment was bought by the attendant after he had money yesterday.

According to Zhao Yu's requirements, it is still a short coat cloth shoes, at most the material is better, that's all.

At least Zhao Yu is definitely not used to wearing such long-sleeved robes now. After all, after so many years of habit, I have been wearing it like this.

He's not afraid of jokes. Although Zhao Yu is young, he has practiced kung fu to such a hot time, and when his heart should be quiet, it is terrifying. When you are angry, it is like a volcano erupting. are the two extremes.

In this regard, he will not be angry.

Just like right now.

When Zhao Yu came to the palace gate, he saw many carriages of various colors stopping outside the palace gate one after another. Threes and threes, court officials wearing various official uniforms, gathered together and chatted in low voices.

Seeing Zhao Yu like this, a man who looked like a man of the people came over, although he was tall and long, he had a lot of disdainful glances.

There is one person, I don't know what kind of official it is, Zhao Yu can't understand how many products it is, I saw that the official had a three-inch goat's beard under his chin, and his face looked like Zhou Zheng, but that gaze was extremely annoying.

The official pointed at Zhao Yu: "Where did the people come from, I don't know that this is the palace gate?"

Then he called to the guard guarding the door: "Drive him away quickly." ”

Sure enough, two guards came over, and according to the sword soldiers, they were about to call for peace, when they saw Zhao Yu's face. I actually know a little familiar. One person recognized it, and it was clearly the person brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday!

His heart trembled, he heard that this person was the killing god from Liaodong!

So he hurriedly grabbed his companion, smiled flatteringly, bowed, and hurriedly retreated.

The official was dumbfounded, his face flushed, and he shouted, "What is the truth?!"

This movement naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding court officials.

I saw Zhao Yu.

There is a steady one, go to ask the two guards just now, and the two guards shouted: "It's Zhao from Liaodong... Mr. Zhao!"

Installed the name of a gentleman.

I don't know what to call it.

Some officials didn't react for a while, but some were alert and reacted all at once.

Someone disdainfully said: "It's a martial artist." ”

Zhao Yu looked at these court officials coldly, forced a flash of light in his pupils, glared at him fiercely, swept sideways, and for a moment, he was silent.

I actually smelled some feces and urine.

Zhao Yu snorted coldly: "Waste." ”
