Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 217 The Tranquility Inside the Palace Wall (Seventh Change)

Tree edge of the village together, Aoyama Guo oblique.

If it weren't for the smoke, Jiangnan at this time would be a good time for outings.

Zhu Youjian took the reins of the horse and walked into Nanjing City.

Although the war is approaching in Jiangbei, the city of Nanjing is still full of pedestrians, there are still shouts in front of the row upon row of shops, and the sound of oars on the Qinhuai River in the distance is still rising and falling amidst the laughter of men and women.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, a great victory in Mengcheng, the Third Army of the Guards repelled five thousand cavalry from the Qing Army, and the Deputy Commander of the Qing Army died in the battle in Hubei!"

At this time, a little boy wearing a slightly longer soap-colored short jacket and linen shoes ran from the crowded place at the gate of the city with his chubby little hands, holding a large stack of "Guanghua" about three inches thick. daily".

After all, Nanjing under the rule of the Ming Dynasty was no more political than the northern enclosure under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Even the children of the low-level people could have clothes wrapped around their bodies.

Although Guanghua Daily is printed in very small lowercase letters, in an era without lead printing, the only way to increase the content load is to increase the thickness of the newspaper. Although the little boy was holding a very thick newspaper, he was caught by the gate of the city within a few strokes. The pedestrians robbed them all. After all, it was the news of defeating the cavalry of the Qing army, so it naturally attracted attention.

Zhu Youjian didn't buy it, but just looked at the phenomenon in front of him and smiled. The Daming Mansion Newspaper used to serve the officials and officials, but now the newspaper office popularizes the public, which can also indirectly promote the literacy rate of the common people. In addition to making a living by reading newspapers in restaurants and tea shops, the newspaper also passed the news to ordinary people for the court.

Zhu Youjian heard it clearly. When the figure of the little boy disappeared into the vast crowd, there were cheers from the nearby teahouse.

It has been several days since the Battle of Mengcheng, but the people in Nanjing who just got the news at this moment are still very excited, Zhu Youjian couldn't help smiling, and rode his horse to Hongwumen.

After passing the Hongwu Gate, it was the seat of the dignitaries and the royal family. Without the noise of the outer city, it also added a trace of tranquility. The First Corps of the Second Army of the Guards had begun to leave the city one after another.

Officials from all walks of life come and go to various yamen, ensuring that the state machinery still maintains a benign operation during this time of war.

Miyagi was right in front of him, and Zhu Youjian also stepped into Huangji Gate at this time.

Since Emperor Chongzhen went south to the present, although he has accumulated a lot of wealth, he has not yet repaired the palace because of military expenses. I am indeed respectful and thrifty enough, but what I don’t know is whether such a thrifty government will still make Nanjing City reproduce the ending of Beijing City and fall into the hands of others.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help swearing secretly that once the northern captives were repelled, he would definitely renovate the royal palace.

There are not many palace people in the palace city today, and Xu Zhaohua has just been added after moving south for a year.

As soon as Zhu Youjian entered the Qianqing Gate, he first came to the Qianqing Palace. Sure enough, he saw Chen Yuanyuan's tearful eyes leading a group of eunuchs from the Qianqing Palace standing in front of the jade steps of the Yangshen Palace.

Chen Yuanyuan was obviously thinner than when she left, and she looked more and more slender with a pink neck and slender waist. If it weren't for the cover of the skirt, a pair of long legs could be seen.

"See Your Majesty!"

A soft call in Yan language, as if never seen Sanqiu, with a trace of resentment.

The appearance of Zhu Youjian obviously made Chen Yuanyuan feel a lot more relaxed at the moment, and he hurriedly helped Zhu Youjian take a bath and change clothes. Zhu Youjian was wearing a bunch of long hair, and Chen Yuanyuan held it in his palm and gently combed it with a comb. The long hair was full of light, black and shiny.

It was precisely to keep these strands of long hair that hundreds of thousands of Han men gathered at the foot of Yangzhou City to fight against the Qing army's [-] cavalry.

Chen Yuanyuan smiled like a flower, looking at the emperor Zhu Youjian in the diorama, she just felt that it would be good to be as quiet as now, so she took out a jade-encrusted dragon crown from a palace and put it on the top of Zhu Youjian's hair, and inserted the golden hairpin horizontally , then the initial elegance is collected at the bottom of the crown, showing the elegance of the Chinese emperor.

The black gown was unfurled in the hands of two tall and elegant maidens. Zhu Youjian picked it up and put it on, and Chen Yuanyuan personally adorned the hanging objects.

The bell sounded into the palace at this moment.

In a trance, Zhu Youjian heard the sound of artillery from Kaifeng City, the sound of fighting at the foot of Mengcheng, the screams outside Dingyuan City, the blood of the enemy and the bodies of the guards intertwined in the world of burning oil, It's still hot-blooded.

Zhu Youjian ordered the dinner to be served in Kunning Palace, and the prince and princes, the empress, concubine Yuan Gui and the newly adopted daughter Xu Zhaohua were also accompanied.

Now that I am Emperor Chongzhen, and the royal family is my family, and now I have experienced a bloody battle with my own eyes, Zhu Youjian can't help but cherish the feeling of starting a family even more.

After the unitary hour, the sky in Jinling City was getting dark very quickly. By the time Zhu Youjian entered the inner court of Kunning Palace, it was already the beginning of the lights, insects were buzzing all around, and the concubine Qiang Gong'e and the prince had already lined up in front of the wall to greet him.

Among them, the pink face with spring, slender shoulders and slender waist, who is still a bit youthful and childish, must be Xu Zhaohua who is following the queen.

Zhu Youjian could not help but smile slightly, he is not a perverted ghost who loves anyone he sees, and he is not interested in this kind of young girl who was only in junior high school in the previous life, and he is not morally past, so there is no Other thoughts, just smiled slightly: "Who is Xu Zhaohua?"

Sure enough, a young girl whom Zhu Youjian was paying attention to came forward, clasped her hands together, and attached herself to Zhu Youjian purely and gracefully.

"Sure enough, she is worthy of being a lady from a famous family, but she is more calm than the champion", Zhu Youjian said, and went directly to the graceful and luxurious Queen Zhou. He couldn't help but embrace Queen Zhou after he hadn't touched a woman in a month. Shi's waist.

I pecked at her cheeks that still had no wrinkles, and whispered softly: "I have seen countless lives and deaths these days. Under the lonely pillow, I have already accumulated a fire all over my body. Tonight, I have to rely on the queen and love." Only when the concubine serves together will I be able to purify my desires."

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he couldn't help coming over and hooking Concubine Yuan Gui's jade face. Concubine Yuan Gui and Empress Zhou couldn't help but blushed, and Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help lowering her head, looking lonely. As a palace maid, she dared not cross the line easily.

"Under the city of Kaifeng, I also saw the face of Duoduo clearly. His face was full of murderous looks, and he was extremely ugly. Fortunately, he didn't sit here, otherwise I would be hard-pressed to swallow the delicious food." Zhu Youjian said , the sitting and standing women couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. They were extremely graceful and soft, which made Zhu Youjian find that the palace was really different from the battlefield outside the palace. Most of the women seen in the palace were femininity. The beauty of beauty, but the outside is more masculine, courageous, ambitious and heroic!
Zhu Youjian became very interested and continued to talk about the battle between Mengcheng and Dingyuan. Among the full audience, even Xu Zhaohua looked up and listened carefully. Even when Zhu Youjian mentioned Xia Wanchun, he noticed that Xu Zhaohua's eyebrows frowned slightly. He couldn't help but joked: "Don't worry, your number one scholar is not in Mengcheng and Dingyuan, but in Yangzhou, so you don't have to listen."

Xu Zhaohua blushed involuntarily, causing Zhou Shi to stretch out his legs and kick Zhu Youjian. When the phoenix eyes opened, Zhu Youjian couldn't help stretching out his feet to hook Zhou Shi's calf, and rubbed against her.
