At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 68

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up!"

Zhu Qizhen opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "What time is it... oh no, what time is it?"

Empress Qian lay beside her pillow and said softly, "It's three o'clock in the Yin hour, the emperor should be ready to go to court early."

"Don't go, don't go!"

Zhu Qizhen turned over, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Empress Qian had no choice but to continue to persuade: "If the emperor refuses to go to court for no reason, I'm afraid those Qingliu will impeach him again."

Zhu Qizhen murmured: "With the king here, just leave those troublesome things to him. I still have business to do."

Empress Qian looked strange, thinking that you are back, why do you still let King Tan take care of things?
This... is against the rules!

When it was near Mao, the lights outside the Meridian Gate were brightly lit, and all the officials had already arrived.

Everyone came early today, after all, it was the emperor's first morning court when he returned to Beijing, so he must seize the opportunity to perform well, so that it would appear that he has been working hard during this time.

While everyone was greeting each other, someone said, "Isn't that the sedan chair of His Royal Highness King Tan?"

Everyone looked sideways, and it really was King Tan's sedan chair.

At this moment, everyone is confused, what is the situation?
Zhu Qiyu got off the sedan chair slowly, everyone reacted immediately and stepped forward to salute.

"Everyone, don't be so polite, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!"

The Meridian Gate opened wide in front, and Zhu Qiyu clasped his fists to everyone, and then walked forward first.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then came to Fengtian Hall, but found a problem, where is the emperor?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the eunuch Jin Ying stepped forward, cleared his throat, and raised his voice, "Holy Yu!"

All the ministers bowed down one after another, shouting long live.

"I came back from Mobei, and I feel unwell occasionally. From today onwards, King Tan will oversee the country. Thank you!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

What's the situation?Why do you occasionally feel unwell?

I was very energetic when I hacked people up and ransacked my house yesterday!
"Cough, cough!"

Jin Ying coughed twice, signaling for everyone to be silent.

"His Royal Highness, my lords, have you heard clearly?"

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Cao Nai, stood up first, and asked tentatively, "Eunuch Jin, how is your Majesty feeling unwell? Is it a cold or something else? Have you notified the Imperial Hospital?"

With a professional smile on his face, Jin Ying said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, the emperor is not sick, but he is tired. Don't talk about it any more, my lords. Let our family say that the emperor has been fighting abroad for many days. It's time to take a good rest in the capital, His Royal Highness, don't you think?"

Zhu Qiyu was the only one who knew this decision in advance, and immediately said: "Eunuch Jin's words are very true, and I will follow the emperor's will!"

Cao Nai couldn't say anything more, so he had to take out the prepared memorial.

"According to the note received by the cabinet, there are three main things to discuss today. One, how to draw up the rewards for the soldiers; Time, there are a lot of vacancies, and we need to find suitable people to fill them as soon as possible..."

Zhu Qizhen slept until dawn and stretched comfortably, only to find that the pillow was empty.

Probably because he just woke up, his mind was a little foggy, and he was still remembering what happened last night.

It seems to be ordering an imperial supreme set meal...

No, I am the emperor!
As soon as Zhu Qizhen got up, he saw Empress Qian standing by the bed and looking at him.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Empress Qian beckoned, and two court ladies walked up behind them, carrying basins and towels to dry the washing utensils.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "What time is it?"

"It's already past Chen's hour, and the morning court is over."

Zhu Qizhen pouted secretly in his heart, got up at three o'clock in the morning, and went to court on time at five o'clock, whoever wants to go to this kind of thing, anyway, I won't go!
After washing up, Empress Qian waited on Zhu Qizhen for breakfast.

The emperor's imperial meal is also relatively simple, a bowl of white porridge, two noodle cakes, and a few side dishes.

While eating, a young eunuch came forward to report, and Concubine Zhou asked to see him.

This Concubine Zhou is the biological mother of Prince Zhu Jianshen, and her status in the harem is second only to Queen Sun and Queen Qian.

"My concubine has met the emperor and the empress!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "Have you eaten, Concubine Ai? Sit down and eat some together."

"My concubine thanked the emperor!"

Concubine Zhou was sitting on the right hand side of Zhu Qizhen, but she lowered her head and saw no movement.

Zhu Qizhen ignored it, took a sip of the porridge, and babbled, but heard a burst of sobbing in his ears.

Looking back, it turned out that it was Mrs. Zhou who was crying softly.

"Aifei, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Zhou rubbed her tears with the lapel of her clothes, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, but I haven't seen the emperor for many days, and I'm very happy."

Zhu Qizhen was secretly amused in his heart, so happy that he cried?

This woman is still playing hard-to-get tricks with me, oh, she's too scheming.

"Let Aifei worry!" Zhu Qizhen finished his porridge, smiled and said, "Since there is nothing else, I still have to go to the imperial study, Aifei, please do what you want!"

Concubine Zhou became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "I am a concubine... the emperor is the one to make the decision!"

Zhu Qizhen put away the smile on his face and asked, "What happened?"

Concubine Zhou hesitated for a moment, and said: "My concubine's father ran a cloth shop in the capital, but it was stolen last night..."

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback, the store was stolen, what is this?

"Shop stolen, go to Shuntian Mansion to report the crime!"

Concubine Zhou Guifei said softly: "The thief not only stole the property, but also killed the shopkeeper and several fellows. I secretly thought, can I ask Jin Yiwei to help check..."

Zhu Qizhen was a little baffled, and pretended to act for a long time. It turned out that he just wanted to recover the lost money as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, after all, he is also my father-in-law, and it is involved in a murder case. Forget it, let Jin Yiwei help to investigate!

"Wynn!"

Zhuan En hurried forward: "The servant is here!"

"Xuan Yuanbin to the imperial study!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Seeing this, Concubine Zhou hurriedly bowed to thank her.

Empress Qian on the side frowned slightly, and shook her head secretly, but said nothing.

After Zhu Qizhen finished his meal, he came to the imperial study and continued to think about how to carry out reforms. Huai En came to report and Yuan Bin asked to see him.

"Xuan!"

"My humble minister Yuan Bin, kowtow to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his head and said, "Uncle Qingyun's cloth shop was stolen last night, so send some people over there to have a look."

Uncle Qing Yun is Zhou Neng, the father of Concubine Zhou Gui, who was granted the title of earl in the 11th year of Zhengtong.

After Yuan Bin finished listening, he showed suspicion and did not move for a long time.

Zhu Qizhen felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "What's the problem?"

"emperor……"

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "Yesterday in the Dingxiang Building, I followed those two profiteers..."

"What did you find?"

"One of them is Wang Xu, a Shanxi merchant, who runs a warehouse named Fan Ji in the capital, which specializes in receiving and distributing goods. The other is Fang Jidong, who is the shopkeeper of Yunlai Cloth, and this Yunlai Come to Buzhuang, the owner behind it is Uncle Qingyun!"

Zhu Qizhen seemed to realize something, and asked, "The one that was stolen last night was Yunlaibuzhuang?"

"Back to the emperor, it's not just Yunlaibuzhuang, Fanji cargo station also has an accident!"

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt that something was unusual, and asked, "What's going on at the scene, have you been there?"

"I have personally inspected it. The shopkeeper Fang Jidong and the two assistants had their necks broken. The method was clean and neat. It seems that it was done by a master. The same is true for Fan Ji Freight Station, the method is exactly the same!"

"Killing for money, you're still a master..." Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked, "What does Shuntian Mansion say?"

"Shuntian Mansion has already taken over the case. However, Uncle Qing Yun seemed to be very anxious. He sent someone to Beizhen Fusi early in the morning to seek help. Wei Chen felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he went to the scene himself."

"Anything else to discover?"

"temporarily unavailable!"

Zhu Qizhen wondered in his heart, he was cut off just after he set his eyes on two big fish, who is so bold that he dared to kill people and rob them in the capital?
Besides, all the property was taken away by you, how can I search the house?

The more I think about it, the more something is wrong, no, this is clearly cutting off my fortune!

"Fan Zhong!"

Hearing the summons, Fan Zhong hurried in, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, what are your plans for today?"

"Go and find the official uniforms of the two Jinyiwei!"

Fan Zhong was a little puzzled, and asked, "What does the emperor want Jinyiwei's official uniform for?"

"Leave the palace and investigate the case!"

　It may be that I was tired of the supreme package last night, and today's update is later...
