Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu is also notoriously cunning, he often plots against others.If some people want to plot against him, he must be dissatisfied, so he put down what he just said.

Liu Ming whispered, "The stepfather of the minister is not a man of high morals. Even if he did do those things, the minister still thinks it is 'reasonable'."

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu made a sound.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu just paced in front of the desk in silence.He opened his mouth again and said, "It takes hard work to strike iron."

Liu Ming hurriedly said, "Your Majesty taught you the right thing."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, and said, "As long as you are not that kind of person, you don't have to be afraid."

Liu Ming thought for a while, then bowed and said, "I don't know how to repay the kindness of the Holy One."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stopped talking about the impeachment, and instead asked, "What is the name of Liu Tiju's cousin? Do you have a good relationship with him?"

Liu Ming bowed and said, "Returning to the Holy One, my cousin's name is Chen Zhang. I and Chen Zhang grew up together, and the brotherhood is very strong. However, when Chen Zhang was alive, I probably thought he was just a relative; until Chen Zhang After he died, I felt a little empty in my heart. Or maybe he died too badly, so I was worried about it."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Then you go home and stay, and then I will allow you to go to the south with the army to make up for your mistakes."

Liu Ming said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

Zhu Gaoxu said again, "The family of your stepfather's family should be fine, but the fertile land that has been invaded must be spit out to convince the public."

Liu Ming thanked you again.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and told Liu Ming to go back.

The heat of summer is getting stronger day by day, and the palace room today seems to be more stuffy than yesterday.When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door, he still didn't feel any wind, and his mood became a little irritable.

The silk on his body is very thin, but it also has two layers. In addition to the inner lining, there is also a blue tuanlong robe on the outside.According to etiquette, no matter how hot the weather is, fastidious people are not allowed to show their arms, and can only bear it in long clothes.

After a while, those eunuchs and court ladies came in again.The two court ladies took a look at Zhu Gaoxu, and hurried forward to fan him with fans, which made him feel better.But the maids were not feeling well. The two young ladies who kept fanning had sweat all over their hairlines, and the strands of hair were sticking to their skin.Sweat soaked their dresses, and there was a faint scent of a woman in the wind, which made Zhu Gaoxu even more impetuous, and resisted not turning his head to look at them.

Zhu Gaoxu stayed in the Rouyi Palace all afternoon, and left before Youshi, and went straight to Kunning Palace in a sedan chair.When he came to Guo Wei's bedroom, he took off his robe and hat, then rolled up his sleeves and sat on a bed without moving.

"Holy Majesty is afraid of heat but not cold

ah. " Guo Wei's voice said.

Then she took a bowl of chilled white fungus and goji berry soup from the hand of the court lady, brought it up, and began to talk about many trivial matters in a leisurely manner, nothing important.Zhu Gaoxu sat there and listened, without interrupting her at all, but sending out some short responses from time to time.

On the contrary, Guo Wei came back to her senses and asked carefully, "Is the concubine talking too much?"

Zhu Gaoxu adjusted his troubled mood, shook his head and smiled, "I like to listen to you talking, so I didn't say much."

Guo Wei's delicate and fair face suddenly showed joy, "Really?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "We have been married for so many years, why should I coax you anymore? The beauty is not only good-looking, but also has a comfortable voice. Hearing Wei'er's voice is very pleasant and refreshing, I feel that the weather is not so hot anymore, and it is very refreshing. "

Guo Wei covered her mouth and giggled non-stop, "Even if you're coaxing me, I'd be very happy. But my concubine is a queen, not a beauty."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "A beautiful queen." He then casually said something more specific, "Wei'er is not like Guo Ying, who is burly and burly, but you were born with thin bones. You have grown plump over the years, but you are still slim. , the figure looks slender and soft, and a little more charming, which is very eye-catching."

Although the two are a couple, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't see Guo Wei every day, and his attitude is always very good when they meet.

He simply said a few words casually, but Guo Wei was overjoyed.She was so happy that she turned around in front of Zhu Gaoxu twice, deliberately letting him see more clearly.Unlike her usual dignified appearance, she seemed to have turned into a spoiled young lady at this time.

She also talked more, "The concubine met my father in the palace a few days ago, and my father praised the Holy Majesty. He said that the world has changed a lot since the Majesty has been on the throne for a few years. The river is full of merchant ships and cargo ships. Cars, horses and pedestrians on the post road are in an endless stream, and more and more houses are attached to the city. The weather of the soldiers in the Beijing camp and the guards is also very different from before. It's only because the courtiers and concubines don't know much about military affairs. If it weren't for the father Let me tell you, the ministers and concubines don't know that the Holy One is so powerful, he is truly a master of Wenzhiwugong."

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu had no interest in the content of her chat, but when he didn't notice, he suddenly felt a lot better.Guo Wei made him think that his new policy is effective, and that people in the world must agree with him.

Guo Wei didn't know what to think of, her little face turned cloudy again, and said softly, "It's a pity that the Guo family didn't help the Holy One, but got a lot of rewards and benefits instead."

"The Queen has helped me a lot." Zhu Gaoxu said very sincerely, at least the harem is not flying around for the time being.He paused and then said, "Besides, when a person reaches the position of emperor, money is not what he cares most about. It doesn't matter if some of it is distributed."

Guo Wei asked, "What is that?"

Zhu Gaoxu said lightly, "Quan | Power."

Guo Wei finally calmed down, sitting on the bamboo mat next to Zhu Gaoxu, as if thinking about something.Zhu Gaoxu recalled her sister Guo Yan, and felt that Guo Yan was smart and exposed, while the queen was more simple and kind, but she should also have her own opinions.It's just that Queen Guo Wei may not be as knowledgeable as Imperial Concubine Mu Zhen.

Zhu Gaoxu put his palm on her catkin, her hand was slender and smooth, cooler than Zhu Gaoxu's palm.

It was getting darker outside and the temperature was getting cooler.For a while, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little comfortable.

Chapter 8 Chapter Seventy Emperor Review Map

After the decision of Nanzheng was discussed by the court, all the yamen have begun to deploy and prepare.By the twelfth month of this year, the Ming Navy Fleet will arrive at Saigon Port in Chenla as planned; however, the northern section of the sea route is not going well, and the remaining time is not enough.

The total strength of naval officers, sailors and other personnel is nearly 3, and they are being mobilized from Liujiagang to the capital.The soldiers can set sail after arriving at the large school field and undergoing a short training.

The army entered the city from the Outer Jinchuan Gate, passed through the Hongwu Gate, the main gate of the imperial city, and then left the Zhengyang Gate to reach the military camp at Dajiaochang.Some officials arranged a guard of honor at Hongwumen, and when the army passed by, the emperor would inspect the navy by the way.

Zhu Gaoxu took a sedan chair through the Thousand-step Corridor and arrived at Hongwu Gate.As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a yellow umbrella and a throne on the tower of Hongwu Gate.Zhu Gaoxu waited and watched for a while, and realized that there was a problem in communication between the Division of Honor Guards and Honglu Temple and other yamen, because he did not plan to sit on the tower to inspect the army.

He looked up at the city tower for a while, and then looked at the sky in that direction, and saw that the sky today was gray and the clouds were very low.

He didn't wear a dragon robe today, but he was wearing a blue military uniform and a hat with a big brim on his head.This attire is not in the etiquette system, but the emperor is also the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's army in name, so there is nothing wrong with wearing military uniforms; it's just that this kind of uniform only appeared a few years ago.

According to the military uniforms established during the Taketoku era, the army is gray and the navy is blue.Zhu Gaoxu's cyan clothes, custom-made by the Weaving Bureau, are no different from those worn by the navy officers and soldiers.However, the accessories on his body glowed orange and yellow, making him look even more dignified.The badge made of pure gold, the belt of gold and jade, and the sheath of the goose feather knife around the waist are also extremely gorgeous, and the sheath inlaid with gold is also decorated with various gemstones and emeralds.Even the moccasins had patterns on them.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, architectural clothing in the world has been developing in a complicated direction, and Zhu Gaoxu's equipment today is not abrupt.

He didn't go up to the tower, and when the honorable Zhao Ping brought a brown horse over, he stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse vigorously.Everyone had no choice but to walk and followed quickly.The civil and military officials in Hongwumen had no choice but to line up and walk out of Hongwumen.

There are a lot of people outside the city gate today, most of them are people who heard the news and came to see the strange things.The court deployed a large-scale military operation, and there was almost no possibility of keeping it secret in advance, and the movement was too great.However, Chenla Kingdom is far away in the sky, and it is estimated that there are no spies in the Ming capital.

There are many young women with oil-paper umbrellas on the side of the road, well dressed, and many of them can be called gorgeous.They were presumed to be the family members of officers and soldiers. Because of Ming Dynasty's decency, young women from decent families would not crowd the roadside to show their faces.And the navy officers and soldiers are not considered poor. They belong to the Beijing camp and have military pay. Every time they go to sea, they have settlement allowances and rewards after returning. The pensions given by the court are not thin; they are probably richer than ordinary people.

The crowded people across the street did not recognize Zhu Gaoxu at first.First, he was not wearing a dragon robe, and second, the distance was too far, and he was wearing a hat, so people probably couldn't see clearly.

However, soon the emperor's guard of honor came out of the city gate, and all kinds of umbrella covers, card corners, etc., looked like royal ritual vessels.The knowledgeable people on the side of the road may have guessed that the man on horseback was the emperor, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, and the surrounding people also followed the crowd and bowed down.The sea of ​​people prostrates themselves, revealing a big

At the back of the film, Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt some kind of religious|religious grand scene.

The Jinyi guards lined up, as well as the plainclothes Jinyi guards mixed in with the crowd, were all nervously looking around, keeping an eye out for their safety.

Zhu Gaoxu behaved very calmly and naturally.Although he has lived in the palace for a long time, he pays more attention to exercise on weekdays, and his body has not yet gained weight. At this time, he still looks tall and strong while sitting on horseback.As the emperor of the people of the world, a vigorous spirit and a majestic image may also be very important, which can give the world a stable atmosphere of power.

At this moment, the sound of "cracking" whips sounded, and then the musicians of Jiaofang played the tune of "Wanli Jinling".

"Crack, click..." The sound of orderly footsteps in the distance resounded through the streets one after another.Soldiers in green uniforms lined up in a square formation and appeared in sight.The soldiers carried firecrackers, and the generals walked on the side of the team with sabers.The army's momentum and etiquette and music were very large, covering up the noise of the crowd.

The hooves of the horse under Zhu Gaoxu's seat were moving slowly. It seemed to be affected by the momentum, but it was not frightened and ran wildly.

When the front team reached the front of Hongwu Gate, they could only hear the yelling of the generals, and the army raised their firecrackers with a "crash", and turned their heads to salute Zhu Gaoxu with fists clasped.Zhu Gaoxu also clasped his fists in return immediately.The purge scene attracted people's attention, many people raised their heads, and there was a commotion among the crowd.
