Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Not long after, Chuntao brought the queen's gold seal and the gold-made imperial decree that Zhang Yan had given when she was canonized as a queen by Emperor Tianqi.

The golden light is dazzling!

Xia He brought the queen's crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, a red coat with green clouds and dragons, and a black robe embroidered with nine green dragons and four auspicious phoenixes.

A group of little palace maids hurriedly changed Zhang Yan's clothes.

After falling ill, Zhang Yan, who originally looked lazy, suddenly became dignified and majestic.

Dongmei is back.

She has already sent the memorial to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Waited a little longer.

Qiu Ju brought a large number of Luan guards holding various ceremonial guards.

The etiquette for empresses traveling in the Ming Dynasty was set by the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Divided into three levels: 20 people, 36 people, and 58 people.

Emperor Yongle added two more people each.

Therefore, what appeared in front of Zhang Yan was a huge guard of honor.

Among them, there are 4 people holding long swords, 4 people holding Jinwu, 8 people holding golden melons, 4 people lying down and half standing, 4 people holding swords, 4 people with swords, 4 people with bone flowers, 2 people with axes, 1 people with brocade yellow umbrellas, gold chairs, gold chairs 8 foot pedal, 2 gold water basin, and [-] gold water pot each, [-] people with square fans, and [-] people with red staffs.

There are also 12 people holding ringers, that is, the eunuchs who opened the way, holding clean whips.

Stand in front of your eyes.

Although the Meridian Gate is right in front of you, if the wall is opened, the distance in a straight line is less than half a mile.

However, Zhang Yan did not dare to be careless at all.

At this time, Zhang Yan had calmed down after the initial anger.

Ever since the emperor built a new palace and made Han the capital his capital, the emperor has always been the only one in the palace and in the court.

This time, the wooden stick found in the square outside Chengtian Hall...

It must have been buried during the two great dynasties of New Year's Day and Lantern Festival.

If not, it was someone who buried it there during the Lantern Festival celebration!

Zhang Yan broke into a cold sweat when she thought of this.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Before the Lantern Festival celebrations, the child fell in love with the jujube tree in Concubine Shen's palace and never climbed the jujube tree again.

After the Lantern Festival celebration, Zhu Cijiong fell in love with fire-breathing acrobatics again.

These days, I am obsessed with tinkering with that thing.

Even climbing trees was forgotten.

If this were not the case, but if something went wrong, the child would probably be killed!

The more Zhang Yan thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately put away the Luan Yi and went straight to the Chengtian Palace Square.

The jujube tree has not sprouted yet, not even a single bud.

Zhang Yan circled the wild persimmon tree and said:

"Qin Zhien, who discovered the wooden stake first?"

Qin Zhien brought several young eunuchs:

"If I get back to you, it's these three people."

Such a huge battle frightened the three young eunuchs half to death.

They were prisoners, and they had already lost their courage by the Ming Dynasty's bombardment.

At this time, seeing Zhang Yan's frosty face again, she immediately fell to her knees.

I can’t even speak clearly:

"Hui, Hui, queen, yes, yes, we..."

Zhang Yan calmed down her momentum and asked Qiu Ju for a silver dollar:

"You have made a contribution by discovering the problem, and I will reward you."

As soon as these words came out, the three little eunuchs raised their heads one after another, their faces full of joy.

But I heard Queen Zhang continue:

"Describe to me how you found the wooden pile from the beginning, where it was at that time, and what its posture was."

The three little eunuchs were overjoyed.

Someone spoke first and said:

"To tell you the truth, early this morning, Eunuch Xi from the general office arranged for the three of us to loosen the sand."

Zhang Yan frowned.

She blamed herself deeply.

After I decided to spread sand under the tree, in order not to waste manpower, I actually made a rule to loosen it once a month.

Now that I think about it, this is a blessing!

If Zhu Cijiong hadn't first become obsessed with climbing jujube trees and then with fire-breathing acrobatics...

I'm afraid I've been tricked a long time ago!

A little eunuch with a scar on his face pointed at the pile of sand and said:

"I was digging and digging, and suddenly I felt something hard, so I started digging, and found that it was a wooden pile..."

The little eunuch gestured and described the place where the wooden stake was found and the shape of the wooden stake.

Zhang Yan asked the little eunuch to stay where he was, while she went up to the Meridian Gate Tower with a full set of ceremonial guards.

Empress Zhang went out with a full set of ceremonial guards. The Yulin guards did not dare to neglect and stepped aside under Qin Zhien's command.

Zhang Yan looked from the city wall and saw clearly the little eunuch squatting on the beach.

"Xiao Qinzi, bring me the roster."

Qin Zhien quickly ran towards the signing room downstairs. After a while, he returned to the city gate building with the roster in hand.

Zhang Yan flipped through it and found that the palace guard on duty today happened to be the military officer on duty during the Lantern Festival.

His name is Xie Yinglong, and he holds the position of Thousand Households.

However, there were some changes in the soldiers.

The generals will be transferred so that the generals and soldiers guarding the palace cannot be together for a long time. This is the emperor's wish.

Zhang Yan naturally understood that this was done intentionally for safety reasons.

Zhang Yan was on the city wall, summoned Xie Yinglong, and asked:

"Xie Qianhu, are you on duty at the Meridian Gate Tower on Lantern Festival?"

Xie Yinglong was originally a servant of Luo Dai, a general of the Ming Dynasty, and was proficient in firearms. He joined the Chuang Army in Luoyang and died in the anti-Qing struggle in Hubei.

In this time and space, he was recruited again by Zhu Youjian and became a middle-level general of the Yulin Guards.

Hearing the Queen's question, he hurriedly saluted:

"As for your Majesty, the general will indeed be on duty that day."

Zhang Yan frowned and turned to look at the venue of the Lantern Festival.

She still couldn't figure out how this thing was brought into the palace.

Zhang Yan asked tentatively:

"Did you notice anything strange that day?"

Xie Yinglong shook his head:

"Returning to your Majesty, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the big square at the foot of the mountain was very lively with loud gongs and drums.

On the contrary, few people came to the three main halls. "

"Few people come?"

Zhang Yan's brows jumped, she immediately grasped the key point, and immediately asked:

"You mean, someone came to Chengtian Palace Square that day?"

This question was too general. Without waiting for Xie Yinglong's answer, Zhang Yan immediately pointed to the wild persimmon tree beside the palace wall and asked:

"If you think about it carefully, did anyone come here that day?"

Xie Yinglong blurted out without even thinking:

"Hui Niang, when you said this, the general really remembered it.

That evening, when the sky was dark, a palace maid came here.

It was dark and she was carrying an unlit lantern.

She squatted under the jujube tree for less than three breaths before walking towards the main square at the foot of the mountain. "

"Do you remember it clearly?"

Zhang Yan's face was serious.

Xie Yinglong patted his chest vigorously:

"The general is willing to issue a military order!

Because at that time...because...because...the general thought that the palace maid wanted...that..."
