readx; Zhu Youzhen led 3,000 light cavalry to travel day and night, and it took only one and a half days to return to Beijing from Shanhaiguan. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info didn't allow him not to hurry up, because nearly a month had passed since he secretly left the Jingshi.

Originally, he didn't want to leave Beijing for such a long time, but the trip to Phi Dao was delayed for ten days, and after breaking through from Daling River and Jinzhou, he did not dare to take the western Liaoning corridor, and he was four or five days slow to cross the mountains and mountains, and it took a few days to deal with the plague in Shanhaiguan, which disrupted Zhu Youzhen's original plan.

When he was still in Shanhaiguan, Zhu Youzhen had already learned from the flying pigeon biography that the secret of his stealing from Shanhaiguan had been revealed. This is also something that can't be helped, the emperor has not shown up for so many days, if there is no major event in the court, it can barely be said; However, the Houjin army suddenly attacked, and Liaodong, Jizhou, Tianjin and other places of course had to complain to the imperial court. If such a big thing happened, if the emperor avoided the ministers on the grounds that the emperor was sick, it would be really unreasonable.

In fact, some ministers who were already anxious were forced to die outside the Donghua Gate, and the emperor must go to the court to discuss the matter of resisting the captivity. Empress Rui'er saw that she was going to make trouble, and in desperation, she had to admit it herself: The emperor had already gone to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation.

This news was nothing less than a bombshell, which suddenly ignited the dissatisfaction of the ministers against the emperor. The officials led by the Donglin Party were extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Youzhen's behavior of leaving Beijing without greeting him, and even compared Zhu Youzhen with Zhu Hou, a martial artist who was greedy for frolic and went out of Beijing to have fun without authorization. They blocked the palace gate every day and accused the secretariat of deliberately concealing information and delaying major state affairs. Mei Jian and the others became their punching bag, and they were pointed at their noses and scolded all day long. These weak women have never seen such a scene, they are all frightened, and they are even scolded on the spot to tears.

This is just a speech official who is not in charge of specific government affairs, and the officials of the six ministries are even more complaining. In the past, there were eunuchs, and the power to approve the red was in the hands of the eunuchs, the emperor was lazy, and the court could still operate normally; But now Zhu Youzhen abolished the eunuchs and took the right to approve the red into his own hands, and the secretariat was only responsible for sorting out the chapters, but had no decision-making power. For more than 20 days, all the pieces from all over the country were stranded in the palace, and now they are piled up.

The brothers in the cabinet were not in a hurry, they knew very well in their hearts, anyway, they were going to get out of class, and when the emperor was there, they had to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day; Now that the emperor is gone, they are even more hands-off.

However, the six Shangshu were under great pressure. In particular, Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the ministry, the king of the household department, and Yuan Keli, the secretary of the military department, because they usually defended Zhu Youzhen, they also became the target of public criticism at this time. Sun Chengzong followed the emperor away, it was better to be out of sight and out of mind, but the two were a little embarrassed, and even Huang Daozhou, a student of Yuan Keli, also accused his teacher of being too indulgent to the emperor on weekdays, which led to the emperor acting so recklessly, and Yuan Keli was speechless.

From the rush from the flying pigeon's biography, Zhu Youzhen also roughly learned that the situation in the Ming Dynasty did not change greatly immediately because of the new monarch's accession to the throne, and the situation in various places was still erosive. Thieves are still raging in Henan and Hubei, and the officials and soldiers not only do not suppress them, but often make trouble because of unpaid wages; Natural disasters are also frequent, and there are no less than dozens of snow disasters, droughts, earthquakes, and plagues reported throughout the country. What particularly worried him was that several local officials, including Shuntianfu, Xuanhua, and Datong, had reported that there was an epidemic of "epidemics".

The only news that made Zhu Youzhen happy was that Concubine Qi Meifeng had arrived in Beijing. She was ordered to come to Beijing with all the members of the former Qin Palace, a large number of craftsmen, workers, and men from the Huanghai Merchant Gang. When Zhu Youzhen led his army to the Andingmen north of the Beijing Division, in addition to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Empress Rui'er, Concubine Bao Yulian and Concubine Qi Meifeng, who had already been looking forward to it, were all greeted outside the city gate. When Zhu Youzhen saw his relatives, he showed a long-lost smile.

When the holy driver returned to Beijing, all the ministers who took over naturally had to kneel to pick it up. Rui'er, Bao Yulian and Qi Meifeng also wanted to kneel, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly jumped off the horse, hugged Qi Meifeng with his own hands and said: "You are pregnant, and the weather is still very cold, so why bother so hard to pick it up." There are also the queen and Concubine De, during the time I am not in Beijing, you have also worked hard, and I should be the one who salutes you. ”

"Long live the Lord will speak!" Seeing that the ministers were a little far away, Rui'er couldn't help but say with tears in her eyes, "You have been gone for so many days, and the concubines and others can't cope with the ministers or trivial matters, why did you go to Liaodong without saying a word, and I heard that you are still surrounded by Tartars?" Our sisters were scared to death when they received Herzhe's pigeon message! ”

Qi Meifeng also complained in a low voice: "Long live is too anxious, you are now the Son of Heaven, how can you be so reckless." There are no eyes on the battlefield, in case..."

Speaking of this, the tears of the three women could not be stopped. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly comforted: "You are responsible, resentful, are you not good at me?" This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the palace and talk about lovesickness slowly, hehehe..."

Although the three women really missed their husbands very much, Zhu Youzhen was so ashamed that the three of them turned their heads in shame when they spoke like this in front of so many ministers, and no one ignored Zhu Youzhen.

However, in the end, they were separated for too long, and on the way back to the palace, Qi Meifeng still couldn't resist Zhu Youzhen and rode in the same sedan chair with him. As soon as the sedan curtain was lowered, Zhu Youzhen's hand immediately walked up dishonestly on Qi Meifeng's delicate body, making Qi Meifeng ashamed and afraid, and opened Zhu Youzhen's salty pig hand with a slap, and whispered for mercy: "Long live!" People are more than five months pregnant, aren't you afraid of fetal gas? ”

"It hurts, it hurts, Meifeng, you're lighter!" Zhu Youzhen grinned in pain, and at the same time smiled awkwardly, "Our husband and wife have been separated for so long, didn't I forget my feelings for a while, and almost forgot the little guy in your belly." If it weren't for him, hehe, I wouldn't be able to resist it now..."

Although she was in a sedan chair, Qi Meifeng was still so embarrassed by Zhu Youzhen's unbridled teasing that her face turned red, and she hurriedly stopped him and said: "Long live, bear with it, otherwise people will not be laughed at to death!" By the way, the concubine heard that the county lord must wait until the concubine arrives in Beijing before he is willing to be canonized into the palace, so hurry up and do it. More than a few of us, the county lord needs the mercy of Banzai. ”

This sentence suddenly aroused Zhu Youzhen's infinite feelings, both for Zhu Cunqi and for Li Zhenyan, and the two of them were silent invariably.

After a while, Qi Meifeng said: "This time, the concubine came to Beijing and brought Miss Yuanyuan, Qiu Linna and Yiyi. They are now temporarily living in the palace of King Xin, do you want to join the palace together? ”

"This..."Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly red, and he muttered for a moment, "Yiyi was originally Rui'er's maid, let her enter the palace first, and live with Rui'er." As for the other two, let me think about it again..."
