The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 748 Good News Repeatedly
When the imperial chariot entered the city, it was another scene immediately.

Although the road had been put under martial law by the imperial camp, there were still crowds of people behind the soldiers of the imperial camp, stretching their necks to watch the emperor's honor guard.

The doors of merchants on both sides of the road were decorated with the flags of the Ming Dynasty with the same brilliance of the sun and the moon. People outside the doors were all laughing and talking about the great victory in Beijing and the majesty of the emperor.From time to time, boys dressed as dragon guards can be seen playing the game of "beating tartars" with brooms in their hands.

The morale of the entire city is high, showing signs of prosperity.

Suddenly the speed of the car slowed down, Shi Lin drove his horse to the cloud chariot where Zhu Linmi was riding, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Kang and Eunuch Feng are here to see you."

"What are you doing out of the palace?" Zhu Linmi looked out of the car window, and saw Eunuch Bingbi's smile turned into an orange peel.

Feng Kang first stepped forward to salute, and then approached mysteriously and said: "Long Live Lord, this servant is here to announce the good news to you!"

"Happy news? Why can't we wait until I return to the palace?"

"If Lord Long Live returns to the palace, won't it be the servant's turn to talk about it?" Feng Kang smiled brighter, and whispered a few steps forward.

Zhu Linmei was overjoyed when she heard the words, she stared at the eunuch and said, "Really?! Why didn't someone tell me?"

"How dare the servants lie to the Holy Majesty about such a big matter." Feng Kang said again, "Before, the empress and the empress dowager thought that the emperor was commanding the army on the front line to fight, and I was afraid that you would be distracted if you knew it, so they strictly ordered the palace not to disperse. Get the news."

"Great!" Zhu Linmi clapped her hands excitedly, and hurriedly told Shi Lin, "Send the order, speed up, and return to the palace!" Turning around, seeing Feng Kang still standing there, she couldn't help but wondered, "What are you still doing here? ..."

When he saw the expectant look on the eunuch's face, he suddenly realized. He pointed at Feng Kang angrily, and said to Ma Wensheng behind him, "Reward! Give me a big reward!"

Feng Kang hurriedly took a few steps back and knelt down happily, shouting: "I thank the emperor for the reward!"

When the Son of Heaven passed the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Linmi saw from a distance a large group of inner court stewards and maids of honor surrounded by two beautiful women in long red skirts and scarves.One of them wore a phoenix bead and emerald crown, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he nodded towards this side with a smile, while the other stood on his feet and looked up, his pretty face full of excitement and anticipation.

It was the queen of the dynasty and the imperial concubine.

Zhu Linming got out of the car and hurried up to meet them. She hadn't seen them for several months, and she really missed them very much.

The eunuchs and maids at the side all knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.When Mu Zhiqing and Zhen really wanted to salute, they were held back by Zhu Linmi, "My family is not so particular."

Then he remembered what Feng Kang said just now, and his eyes fell on Mu Zhiqing's lower abdomen in an instant, where he could already see signs of a slight bulge, obviously she was pregnant for several months.

He couldn't hide his joy, squatted down and put his ear on Mu Zhiqing's stomach, and said with a smile: "Little guy, Daddy is back, let's say hello."

Empress Daming glanced at the servants around her, her cheeks were flushed, and she whispered: "Your Majesty, it's only been four months, there hasn't been much movement..."

Zhu Linmei smiled and stood up, looked at her and said softly: "I'm pregnant and don't rest well, I ran so far to meet..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The concubine has always been in good spirits, and she takes a walk in the imperial garden for an hour every day. It's not a problem to greet you for a while."

"That's right, it's good to exercise more." Zhu Linmei helped the queen and walked slowly towards Kunning Palace - it has been repaired there - he was very happy in his heart, but although he has been a man for two lifetimes, he has no experience of being a father , It took a long time to think, "By the way, do you have any physical discomfort? I heard that you will feel sick when you are pregnant?"

Mu Zhiqing smiled and said: "A while ago I always felt like vomiting, but it has been cured in the past month. I have my real sister to take care of me on weekdays, and the queen mother often comes to ask me. Everything is fine."

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Linmei smiled happily.

Mu Zhiqing said again: "Your Majesty, you have been away from the palace for several months, and the Empress Dowager is also very concerned about it. Your Majesty should go to the Tai Chi Hall to say hello first, and it won't be too late for us husband and wife to talk slowly."

"That's right," Zhu Linmei nodded, "Then I'll go to the Tai Chi Hall first." He turned around and took Mu Zhiqing and Zhen Zhen's hands, "Let's have a good family reunion in the evening, ah... we will eat at Kunning Palace Hot pot!

"As for what hot pot is, you will know when the time comes."

The second daughter is also very happy.Zhen Zhen even clapped his hands and said, "I want to hear His Majesty's talk about the battle to recapture Beijing!" Obviously, she has not been on the battlefield in the palace for the past few months, but the little girl is bored to death.

"no problem!"

Zhu Linmi followed Ma Wensheng and others to the Empress Dowager's palace, and was already thinking about it on the way. According to the instructions of the emperor's ancestors, if Zhiqing had a son in her womb, her name should start with the word "Ju".Then the next word follows the order of "fire, earth, metal, water, wood", and it is the turn of the word "wood".

What should I call it? "Zhu Juhuan"?Take the meaning of Yu Yuhuanhuan. "Zhu Juliang" seems to be good too, it is the beam of the Ming Dynasty...

If it is a daughter, it seems that the degree of freedom is much greater, called "Yanxia" and "Lanyue"... Maybe her mother can give a good idea, and go to Kunning Palace to ask Zhiqing later...

Taking charge of the world, winning great victories on the battlefield, expelling the Tartars from the north, and now having a son, Zhu Linmi only felt extremely happy in her chest, and she deserved to be alive in this world!

On this day, the sound of firecrackers celebrating the recovery of Beijing can be heard in the city of Nanjing, which is even more lively than the New Year.

The Kunning Palace was also filled with laughter and laughter, and Da Tianzi's family chatted until Haishi, but they still had more to say.In the end, it was Zhu Linming who worried that Mu Zhiqing was pregnant and needed to rest more, so she withdrew the family banquet and let her rest earlier.

But for the king of a country, the time available for relaxation and rest is always short.Early the next morning, he summoned the main officials from the cabinet and the ministries of officials, households, soldiers, workers, criminals, rites, publicity, and commerce to gather in the recently renovated Qianqing Palace.

During the imperial conquest, a lot of affairs, big or small, piled up between the court and China, and they needed to be dealt with intensively.

After all the ministers finished their salutes, Zhu Lin said: "If there is any important matter recently, let's talk about it."

Yu Xin and Zhang Jiayu, who had just recovered from their injuries, looked at each other, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, after hearing that His Majesty intends to abandon Shuntian Mansion, he will decide to go to Ying Tian Mansion. I wonder if..."

His words stirred up thousands of waves, and dozens of important officials in the hall were quite surprised, and they couldn't help looking at the emperor together.

This is a major national policy, and Zhu Linmi didn't have to hide it. She nodded immediately and said, "I have indeed decided not to move the capital anymore. Nanjing has good water transportation, and there are many ports nearby, which are conducive to foreign trade. It is the best choice for the national capital."

There was a burst of discussion among the ministers.After a while, Zhang Canghai from the household department said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the country's capital should be stable and easy to defend. There is no danger to defend around Nanjing, and there are many waterways, so that the enemy can come by boat. I think it is the land of the Ming Dynasty. As far as future plans are concerned, Shuntian Mansion is more suitable."

His words immediately attracted many courtiers to nod in agreement.

Zhu Linming knew that he was from the south, and it would be more beneficial for him to set the capital in Nanjing, but he was able to suggest returning the capital to Beijing, which shows that he is indeed loyal.
