Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 193 Zhu You interrogated Xia Wanchun
Zhu Youjian's body felt a little chilly, sleepy and dizzy. Fortunately, under the conditioning of the accompanying imperial physician, his nasal congestion improved a little bit.

Looking at Xia Wanchun, who was in full bloom, Zhu Youjian realized that he had already passed his thirties, and he was no longer the youthful young man he used to be. It's no wonder that this time he was just suffering from a cold, and it was more difficult than before.

It's nice to be young!

Zhu Youjian may be able to change this era, but he cannot change his body that is gradually entering middle age.

Xia Wanchun, who is only 15 years old, has not had the opportunity to write such a generous and desolate poem "Between the Clouds". Perhaps he will never feel generous and desolate in his life, so now he is only full of vigor, and the slightest bit is due to the ruin of the country. A bit of decadence born of death.

"My minister has seen His Majesty!" Xia Wanchun bowed to Zhu Youjian, although he still couldn't hide his childishness, but his vigor was not shared by the veteran officials in the court.

"Sit down, sit closer to me," Zhu Youjian said, then looked at Xia Wanchun: "You are the first scholar in military affairs in this dynasty, do you feel wronged?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't feel wronged. The champion was given by His Majesty, and the military position was chosen by me." Xia Wanchun bit his lips and teeth tightly as he spoke, and clenched his fists tightly, obviously a little nervous.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian just smiled slightly. He asked Xia Wanchun to accompany him, just wanting to take this opportunity to get closer to some outstanding young military officers. After all, the driving force for the transformation of the empire came from them.

But now that Xia Wanchun is so nervous, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to take the initiative to adjust the atmosphere to be more relaxed, and asked: "When you were named on the gold list, it was a wedding night in the bridal chamber. Although you are only fifteen years old, you can still be considered a marriageable person today." , is there a woman you like?"

Zhu Youjian's words are equivalent to the elders of later generations asking you to talk about a girlfriend when they see the younger generation.

Xia Wanchun couldn't help but smiled shyly, his face blushed halfway, and he was more cramped than before, and he couldn't blame His Majesty for asking such questions. Of course, he didn't expect His Majesty Zhu Youjian to ask him about the national policy when he was summoned. this.

This does not seem to be a topic that the king should care about!
Xia Wanchun may be thinking so in his heart at this time.

"Don't lie to me!"

Zhu Youjian seriously picked up the memorial in his hand and pointed at Xia Wanchun with a dull expression.

Xia Wanchun opened his mouth in embarrassment, as if his face was already as red as a peach blossom in the mid-autumn moon: "Report to Your Majesty, yes!"

Zhu Youjian raised his forehead and looked at Xia Wanchun pretending to be calm.

At the beginning, he didn't speak, but he was full of gossip in his heart. In ancient times, the marriage was decided by parents, and Xia Wanchun's admiration was not dared to confess.

But when Xia Wanchun answered like this, Zhu Youjian became gossipy and curious. He really didn't expect that Xia Wanchun, who was only fifteen years old, would really have a spring heart and have a crush.

Xia Wanchun opened his eyes wide as he spoke, looking at Zhu Youjian, he thought His Majesty would ask who it was, but seeing that Zhu Youjian didn't speak, Xia Wanchun had to swallow the words that reached his throat for a while.

After all, Xia Wanchun didn't know if what he said would lead to punishment by His Majesty for himself or the woman he admired. After all, it was against the rules of etiquette, how could anyone express his love to others without the permission of his parents.

Zhu Youjian was anxious to death, seeing that Xia Wanchun didn't say anything for a long time, so he had no choice but to open his emperor's mouth again: "Who is it?"

"Xu Zhaohua, the grandson of the former Great Sima Shanggong, and the niece of Mrs. Qi Gong, the right servant of the household department, when he visited Qi Shilang with his father in Nanjing, I felt that this girl should only exist in the sky!"

After Xia Wanchun finished speaking, he lowered his head, hurriedly bowed and bowed, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I did not intentionally violate military discipline and trespass into Duke Qi's inner house, but because my sister (Xia Shuji) invited me to come here." Go and tell Mrs. Qi about the guards!"

"Since they are old friends and relatives, if they meet in private, they will not violate military discipline!" Zhu Youjian said and looked at He Xin, the chief judge of the Guards Army: "He Xin, you say so."

He Xin, the eunuch of the Yuma Supervisor, was secretly laughing that His Majesty forced the champion of the new department to make a statement. He didn't notice that Zhu Youjian was asking him for a moment. When Zhu Youjian asked him suddenly, he suddenly nodded: "Yes, It's not a breach of discipline."

Right now, the spring breeze is warm, coupled with the slight discomfort in the body, and the affairs of the military and the country are basically settled, so we have to wait for the battle report from the front, so Zhu Youjian simply continued to encourage Xia Wanchun to relax.

Zhu Youjian looked at Shi Kefa: "Shi Gong, you are also from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, do you know Xu Zhaohua?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xu Zhaohua is the daughter of Xu Xianqing, the second in the list. Xu Xianqing's wife is the second daughter of the former great Sima Shang Zhou Zuo. The reason for this is that she has a stunning appearance, and on top of her mother's appearance, coupled with her mother's training, she is naturally beautiful and intelligent! The new champion admires this gentleman, and it is considered a good match."

Shi Kefa thought that His Majesty the Emperor would bestow a marriage on Xia Wanchun, the champion of the new discipline, and let him be the officiant, so he went into more detail.

However, after hearing this, Zhu Youjian just said to Xia Wanchun: "It's not easy for such a noble girl to win her heart. She must have great achievements. Although Chang'e loves young people in the past, such a young man must be as ambitious as Hou Yi." Ling Yunzhi is a hero, do you understand?"

Xia Wanchun was a little disappointed in his heart, so he just said: Your majesty has nothing to force him to ask about his feelings, but it turned out just for this?Isn't it supposed to grant a marriage, use the imperial power to promote a marriage, and leave a good story through the ages?
However, Xia Wanchun nodded solemnly. Indeed, as Zhu Youjian said, Xia Wanchun himself also felt that to be matched with a beautiful girl like Xu Zhaohua, it is not enough to have the title of champion.

"The Xiongnu is not destroyed, why is it home, I understand!"

Hearing what Xia Wanchun said, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but stare: "You are angry that I didn't give you a marriage to say such big words? Brat, how can women in this world rely on others to give you something? You have to fight for it yourself! But I can help you, so that Xu Xianqing won't get drunk and betroth his daughter when he is happy just after winning the second place!"

As he said that, Zhu Youjian asked Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, to order: "Send someone back to the capital to tell the queen, and ask her to issue a decree. On the grounds that Xu Xianqing's daughter, Xu Zhaohua, is good-looking and talented, she will be taken into the palace. Empress' righteous daughter, teach etiquette!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Xia Wanchun was naturally overjoyed.

"Don't rush to cheer. As soon as I heard that I called her into the palace, I wondered if I could live and fly with her? How to win her heart depends on how effective you can be with the troops outside. You can Write a letter expressing your admiration, and I will have someone deliver it to her, and when you make contributions abroad, I will help you convey your news."

When Zhu Youjian said this, Xia Wanchun became full of enthusiasm for a while: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this humble minister will definitely make meritorious deeds!"
