Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 543

On the day of the winter solstice, the city of Beijing was covered with heavy snow, which made the eunuchs and court ladies miserable.

Just after the third watch, Zhu Jing got up, rinsed her mouth and cleansed her face, and the maid beside her handed over two sesame cakes, chewed them, and then hurriedly prepared to leave.

As the commander of the army and horses in the central city, he is almost responsible for maintaining law and order in the huge inner city, fighting fires, and dredging canals. In order to ensure that the Winter Solstice Dynasty will be held smoothly, he naturally has to be busy.

"Grandpa, slow down!"

At this time, the big maid serving on the side came in with a pair of high leather boots, her eyes full of dark circles were full of eagerness.

"It's just a pair of shoes, it's a big delay."

Zhu Jing said loudly, quite annoyed at the maid's self-assertion.

But there is no way but to stop.

This is the personal servant girl bestowed upon him by the emperor, an old man from the Nanjing Imperial Palace, who was born in a noble family.

"Hmph, I don't take care of myself. It's snowing heavily outside, so it's not okay to freeze your feet."

The big servant girl put her hips on her hips and squatted down to change his shoes on her own, and she said, "This is a reward from His Majesty, so you are not allowed to wear it."

"Understood!" Zhu Jing had nothing to do with such a sister-like character and could only let him manipulate her.

After a while, I put on these imperial leather boots.

Following the emperor since he was a child, Zhu Jing was already immune to rewards. The emperor didn't forget about the maids, servants, mansions, and even the clothes he wore, just like his own son.

How can such kindness be expressed in words?

"what--"

As soon as he put his feet on the ground, he immediately felt a difference.

"Why is it so warm?"

Zhu Jing was taken aback, and stomped her feet vigorously, only to feel warm, her feet were surrounded by heating, and her whole body was also warmed up.

"It's made of wool."

The eldest servant girl tidied up his clothes and said, "I heard that the palace first made shoes for His Majesty, and then the concubines, princes and princesses also made them."

"As for the rewards to the ministers, I am the first one!"

"That's it!" Zhu Mou raised his mouth, "Am I an ordinary person?"

"Humph!"

The servant girl didn't cooperate either, and said directly: "Being favored is both an honor and a pressure, so I'd better do my job well!"

After all, he even put another coat on him.

When I opened it, I found that it was also patched with wool.

"I'm dressed in wool, so the city of Beijing is nothing to worry about."

After saying that, he rode away in a hurry on the horse brought by his servant.

"Sister, you want us to get the loom privately, what if the young master finds out?"

The maids at the side came slowly, looked at the big maid leaning on the door lintel like a watchman, and said softly.

"The things that are fashionable in the palace will naturally be followed by the folks. This is a good deal, and it can accumulate a lot of property for our family."

Mingyue said to herself: "If it is pursued, I will carry it on my back."

"But, sister, the son is getting old, if the madam enters the door, wouldn't your work be in vain!"

A little maid said timidly.

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about!" the elder reprimanded quickly.

"fine!"

Mingyue shook her head, and said indifferently: "Just because our young master gathers and entertains guests every day, if we don't do business, our bags will be empty."

"If my wife enters the door today, tomorrow I will be so angry that I will go back to my mother's house."

Hahahaha--

The maids were instantly amused and forgot about the topic just now.

Only the bright moon is staring at the sky blankly. How can that round of white moonlight come and go, and go back and forth again and again, how can it decide its own destiny?
After going out, Zhu Jing came to the Yamen.

All the general banners, hundreds of households, and thousands of households had gathered a long time ago, and when they saw their immediate boss coming, they quickly knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Get up!"

Although Zhu Jing was young, he was full of momentum. He said loudly, "This is the first court meeting held in Beijing. Under the jurisdiction of our Bingma Division, there must be no mistakes."

"Yao Wen, you are in charge of inspecting the water leak—"

"Zhou Qi, you are in charge of directing the traffic, you must not overstep when going left or right."

"Then what if it's a department hall?" Zhou Qi whispered.

"Even if it's the frame of Shoufu, I have to stop it. We don't listen to anyone except the emperor's order."

Zhu Jing said coldly.

Under his arrangement, several thousand bosses quickly took over the task and left in a hurry with their subordinates.

And he can't stop, he needs to patrol around to prevent accidents.

No one can sleep that night.

The street is extremely wide, and the sidewalks on both sides are full of soldiers and horses, each holding a lantern to lead the way, which is extremely conspicuous.

Although it was still late at night, many officials got up early and set off, and there were two big dynasties a year, so they had to be careful.

At this time, there was heavy snow in the sky, and many soldiers kept shoveling the snow with shovels, so as not to block the streets and delay the important affairs of the officials.

Snowflakes accumulated on the shoulders of the hat from time to time, but Zhu Jing didn't care, her body was warm, and she patrolled meticulously.

At this time, several elders' carriages came suddenly, and the vehicles stopped immediately to make room for them to jump in line.

His coachman also entered as a matter of course.

And the vacant left lane showed its benefits at this time, enough for the convoy to make way.

At this time, two shouts suddenly came from beside my ears.

"Thirteen, thirteen—"

Zhu Jing cast her gaze, and two familiar heads poked out of the car window.

"Zhu Yi, Sun Lin, you are back—"

One is the son of the clan adopted by the emperor when he was in his infancy, and the other is a brother-in-law who is similar in age and has been a personal bodyguard for many years. Of course Zhu Jing knows it.

"In order to catch up with the court meeting, those who arrived last night did not greet you."

Zhu Yi was so reserved that he showed a smile, and his weather-beaten face was full of strength.

After being transferred from the Military Judicial Department, in just two or three years, at the age of twenty, he has become a guerrilla general with a bright future.

Sun Lin grinned loudly, and he said lively: "I'm really bored staying in Donghai Division. I look at the sea and watch the boat every day. You are much handsomer in a military robe."

"When will you get married?"

"This..." Zhu Jing became shy when asked about this topic.

"Okay, Thirteen, you go on patrol!"

Zhu Yi smiled and helped him out: "I guess it's better to wait for His Majesty to grant the marriage! Isn't it the same for you and me?"

"That's true." Sun Lin shook his head embarrassingly, and then let Zhu Jing go.

As a close person of the emperor, it is inevitable to give a marriage. Zhu Yi married You Shiwei's daughter, while Sun Lin married Wang Yingxiong's niece.

It follows the clan marriages with nobles, relatives and civil servants.

Obviously, Zhu Jing's future is also a noble daughter.

The moon had already set in the west, and the morning star gradually disappeared. Between half white and half black, like chariots and horses like fire dragons, they arrived at the Forbidden City.

Beijing also officially ushered in its true owner,
