Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

Today in the court hall, they all saw the emperor's protection of them, and they were moved in their hearts.

This is their greatest glory.

His Majesty protects them so much, how can they fail His Majesty?

Whether it is opening the sea or commercial reform, the emperor has always supported Yan Song and Xu Jie. Without the emperor's full support, they don't know how much impeachment they will suffer.

The emperor propped up a world for them and gave them a platform to display their talents. How could they live up to the emperor's expectations and trust?

As soon as Zhu Qizhen arrived at Qianqing Palace, he smelled a distinctive smell of meat.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Zhu Qizhen looked suspicious, and his voice fell.

The Empress Dowager walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and said with a smile: "Emperor, you are lucky, Aijia found you a beautiful woman who can make local snacks."

"Well, this taste is really different from the delicacies in the palace."

Zhu Qizhen also noticed something strange, and his eyes lit up.

As an emperor, he has long been tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas in the palace. Occasionally, if he changes his taste, it's like a little farewell to a new wedding, with a special taste.

Empress Dowager Sun took Zhu Qizhen by her arm and came to the Imperial Garden of Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen was surprised to see that there was a big table in the yard, and there were all kinds of delicacies on the table, and they were all made with local flavors that he had never seen before.

In addition to various green leafy vegetables and various seasonings, there is also a pot of venison.

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Mother, where did you find the cook? It smells like the rustic flavor of cooking, and there is really some craftsmanship."

Empress Dowager Sun's father was the daughter of Sun Zhong, the governor of Yongcheng County.

She grew up in Hejian, and her father was not a high official. When the Queen Mother was young, she ate these country delicacies.

There are many delicacies in Yongcheng, among which the venison rice noodles in Yongcheng are even more famous. When Queen Mother Zhang was young, the delicacy she most wanted to eat was venison rice noodles.

But venison is first-class meat, extremely rare and expensive.

It is too difficult to eat venison once.

During the period of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the Empress Dowager Sun married the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji, and entered the Prince's Mansion, and they were inseparable from Zhu Zhanji and his wife.

After Zhu Di's death, Zhu Zhanji's father ascended the throne for one year, and then left with him.

When Zhu Zhanji became emperor, he abolished Queen Hu and made Zhu Qizhen's mother the queen. It is conceivable that Zhu Zhanji has a deep affection for Queen Mother Sun.

Since ancient times, a gentleman does not go to the kitchen.

However, Zhu Zhanji didn't care about other people's gossip. After knowing that his wife liked to eat venison, he once made venison rice noodles for Queen Mother Sun himself.

Zhu Qizhen's father, Zhu Zhanji, was a diligent emperor.

He loves Jiangshan.

However, he also loves beautiful women more.

The beauty of Jiangshan can do it completely, and she will live up to both. This is Zhu Qizhen's father, Zhu Zhanji, telling him this son with practical actions.

After the Queen Mother and Zhu Qizhen sat down, a beautiful and tall woman walked into the imperial garden, holding various dishes in her hands.

However, what made Zhu Qizhen puzzled was.

On this woman's waist, there is actually a belt hanging, which is unique to Ouchi guards.

Moreover, as a master of martial arts, Zhu Qizhen sensed from the woman's long and slender breath that she turned out to be a martial arts practitioner, and her martial arts skills were good.

You know, all the guards in the palace are men.

Why is the waist badge specially made by the Ouchi guards hanging on the waist of a woman, and how did this woman know that the Queen Mother likes to eat local venison?

It seems that she did a lot of homework before entering the palace.

"Empress Dowager, this venison should not be too hot, it will get old if it is hot, but it should not be cold, as it won't have the special fragrance of venison... Come, you have a taste of this piece."

The woman picked up a piece of venison for the queen mother, looked up at Zhu Qizhen, and bowed to salute.

"My humble minister Haitang, see Your Majesty."

"Haitang?"

Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly, suddenly thinking of someone.

The subordinate of Tiedan Shenhou of Wolong Mountain Villa, the No. [-] secret agent of Xuanzi, Shangguan Haitang.

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

Chapter 56 Iron Brave God Honors Face

In the imperial garden, Zhu Qizhen looked at Shangguan Haitang.

This beautiful woman, in terms of appearance alone, will not be overshadowed by those eighteen beautiful women.

However, Zhu Qizhen didn't have that kind of thought.

Did he know that Shangguan Haitang was one of the most powerful subordinates of God Marquis Tie Dan, the No. [-] secret agent of Xuan Zi.

But Hou Zhu, the god of iron gall, ignored him, but he was ambitious and had always coveted the throne.

Being scrutinized by the emperor, Shangguan Haitang is a daughter's family after all, she couldn't help but blushed, she picked up a piece of venison for Zhu Qizhen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is a local flavor made by my minister, please taste it."

"Well, the fragrance is overflowing, it seems very good."

Zhu Qizhen was noncommittal, smiled lightly, and then pushed Shangguan Haitang away: "Put it on the plate, you can step back for now."

Undoubtedly, he was worried about Shangguan Haitang.

Perhaps it should be said that he was worried about Tie Dan Shenhou.

Tiedan Shenhou, one man and one sword, entered the Wara camp alone, and beheaded the Wara grand master first. It is said that the Ming Dynasty defeated, which is already a good story.

Speaking of the Lord of Tiedan, in the Ming Empire, who doesn't give a thumbs up?

If you don't praise him for his loyalty and courage, you can break through thousands of mountains and rivers.

However, the more this is the case, the less Zhu Qizhen dares to take lightly the God of Tie Dan. This is a veritable hero, a fierce tiger dormant in the dark.

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

Shangguan Haitang bowed her hand and led the decree to leave the Qianqing Palace.

After Shangguan Haitang left, Zhu Qizhen turned his head to look at the queen mother, and asked softly: "Queen mother, when did Shangguan Haitang enter the palace, and what did she do in the palace?"

"I entered the palace three days ago. I came to serve Ai's family. Is there any problem?"

Empress Dowager Sun said with a smile, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

"Does the empress know who Shangguan Haitang is?"

Zhu Qizhen held a piece of venison and put it in his mouth.

The smell is very fragrant, but he frowned.

"She was recommended by God of Tiedan to enter the palace."

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was frowning tightly, with a preoccupied look, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Emperor, you don't have to be so afraid of the Iron Lord, after all, he is of royal blood, and he is one of the four life-saving ministers. Soon, didn't you still make meritorious service in the battle to wipe out Wala?"

Everyone knows that the God of Tie Dan is loyal and loyal.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't take it seriously, he was treacherous and loyal, and he was talking about people like Tiedan Shenhou.

He smiled lightly and asked, "Does the Queen Mother know the details of this Shangguan Haitang?"

The queen mother took a bite of venison, and said with a slight smile: "Isn't she the No. [-] secret agent of Xuanzi in Hulong Villa? Aijia knows that she knows physiognomy, medicine, and disguise. Adopted by Marquis Tie Dan, she is the adopted daughter of Marquis Tie Dan, and I heard that she can do some martial arts."

Hearing the queen mother's casual smile, Zhu Qizhen was slightly surprised.

The Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she doesn't even step out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace on weekdays. How can she know so much about Hulong Villa?

Her Majesty ate a piece of venison, and wiped her hands with her handkerchief.

"Emperor, when your father left, he once asked me to listen to the government behind the curtain, to keep these ministers and vassals from all walks of life in check for you, and to sit firmly in the country. If anyone blocks your way to be an emperor, Aijia will get rid of him."

Hearing what the queen mother said, Zhu Qizhen immediately understood the reason.

In this huge Ming Empire, maybe there are some things that I don't know, but the Queen Mother knows it like the back of my hand.

For the sake of the throne, Tie Dan Shenhou has deployed the world for [-] years. Perhaps his loyalty can deceive the ministers, but the Empress Dowager Sun knows it well.

The Empress Dowager stood up, and a court lady supported the Empress Dowager's arm.

"Emperor, in fact, the Ai family knows everything you do and every imperial decree you make, and the things you didn't do and the imperial edicts that you didn't issue, the Ai family also did and issued for you."

"That Shangguan Haitang is very handsome and sensible. The Ai family thinks that she will be able to give birth to an emperor's heir. Tonight, the Ai family will arrange for her to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to serve the emperor."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, her gaze remained soft.

"Get up and drive back to the palace."

The old eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace shouted loudly.

A group of people surrounded the Queen Mother, walked out of the imperial garden of Qianqing Palace, and returned to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Seeing the queen mother go away, Zhu Qizhen sighed.

"It seems that I underestimated the Empress Dowager in the past. I originally thought that the Empress Dowager was just a loving mother, but now it seems that the foundation of the Empress Dowager is actually much deeper than that of the Iron God Hou Zhu Wushi."

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. If it is really as it seems, the queen mother is just a kind and kind woman. In the past few years, how could the emperor's empress dowager, who was orphaned and widowed, be able to control the civil and military affairs of the court?

You know, among the ministers in the court, which one is not as shrewd as a fox?

The depth of imperial power is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and becoming the most powerful woman in the harem, the mother of the world, is not just an ordinary woman.

At the same time, in the East Factory.Cao Zhengchun grinningly stared at the official censor who had embezzled 10 taels of silver.

"Hey, Mr. Li, don't let the miscellaneous family trouble you, anyway, you won't survive, so just be honest and tell the people behind the scenes, and the miscellaneous family will give you a knife."

"Master Li, what do you think of this Governor's proposal?"

Cao Zhengchun had a smile on his face, as if he was not interrogating the criminal, but in the eyes of anyone, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

Master Li gritted his teeth tightly, beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead.

"Hey, Mr. Li's bones are really hard, and this governor admires him very much."

Cao Zhengchun said with a smile: "That is to say, Mr. Li has to fight to the end. Very good, then the governor will fulfill you. Don't worry, Mr. Li, Dongchang will not let you down."

Then, Cao Zhengchun made a move.

"Come here, use the torture tools for Mr. Li, and take good care of him. The governor will come back tomorrow."

After all, Cao Zhengchun left the prisoner in Dongchang.

Dongchang's fans began to torture the official censor, and there were screams like killing pigs in the prison.

These fanzi also do not interrogate the prisoners, they are only responsible for the execution.

After a day of torture, interrogation will come again. If you don’t speak up, continue to torture for another day. It’s also no interrogation, just torture.

No matter how tough a man is, he can't stand the torture of Dongchang.

"I recruit, I recruit, I recruit all."

A censor, unable to withstand the torture, confessed quickly.

"Hmph, what a fucking let me down."

Dongchang's fan snorted coldly in disdain. He had just tortured the censor, and before he was satisfied, the censor called for a confession.

"Master Zhao, it's not time for you to confess yet."

"Use torture, continue!"

These fans didn't pay any attention to the censor who called for a confession. Even if he called for a confession, the fans of Dongchang would not let him go.

He had to be tortured for a day and a night before giving him a chance to confess and be lenient.

After nightfall, under the stars, Shangguan Haitang was indeed sent to sleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation by the Queen Mother.

Zhu Qizhen sized up Shangguan Haitang carefully, she often wore men's clothes when she traveled around the world.

Shangguan Haitang was also a little uneasy and very nervous.

At noon, she cooked some country delicacies for the emperor and the empress dowager, all of which were the empress dowager's favorite dishes.However, His Majesty did not eat a single bite. It is conceivable that His Majesty is deeply wary of Hulong Villa.
