Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 454
Zhu Changyuan carefully looked at Xue Guoguan's memorial, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Seeing Zhu Changyuan laughing, Xue Guo was also laughing in his heart. He had paid a huge price for this news. Now that he can make the emperor happy, he has no worries.

After all, although Zhu Changyuan was tolerant to him before, there are some things that he can't forget.

For example, he participated in the frame-up of Zhu Changyuan and obstructed his official career.

This is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that when Zhu Changyuan was imprisoned, the current concubine Chen knelt down at the door of his house, and the servants in the family even came out to insult Chen Yuanyuan one by one.

Xue Guoguan did not believe that Zhu Changyuan would not retaliate. The reason why there is no sign of retaliation until now is that this master knows how to endure better than the previous Emperor Chongzhen, and knows when to attack and when to hold back.

Now, he is [-]% sure that he can gain the emperor's trust.

After all, capturing the former prince and cutting out the potential threat of the emperor is a great contribution.

After Zhu Changyuan finished reading, he closed the memorial, looked at Xue Guoguan with a smile and said, "Okay, very good! You did a good job. Don't let the third person know about this matter. I will deal with it later."

After finishing speaking, he took the memorial and walked towards the harem, and Zhu Changyuan's face became more and more gloomy. When he reached the Qianqing Palace, he slapped his hand on the table angrily, and cursed: " Shameless, beast!"

Where is the crown prince, who is taking him in, when and where?
How could these things escape Zhu Changyuan's eyes, he knew early on that it was just because the current court situation was not stable and it was not suitable to invite him out, otherwise he would have gotten Zhu Cihong out and handed it over to Zhang Yan.

The queen must have regarded Zhu Cihong as her own son.

As for the threats Zhu Cihong brought to him, it was not without them, but he had [-] ways to resolve those insignificant threats, so why kill him?
But Zhou Kui, the crown prince's grandfather, betrayed his grandson to the imperial court, which is especially hateful and shameful!
According to Xue Guoguan's memorandum, Zhou Kui, who had been far away from the core of the court, wanted to return to the court to "serve the country" again, so he reported the matter of the crown prince hiding in his house to the cabinet.

"Hmph!" Zhu Changyuan snorted coldly, and said to Cao Huachun who had just entered: "If Empress Zhou knew that her father was such a wolf-hearted person, she would probably crawl out of the coffin board in anger!"

Cao Huachun ran to Zhu Changyuan with a smile on his face, and said, "Who is Your Majesty angry with?"

Zhu Changyuan showed the memorial to Cao Huachun, and said, "Look for yourself!"

Cao Huachun was a little embarrassed after reading it. He couldn't talk about this kind of thing because he had a good relationship with the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but according to the general practice, since the crown prince appeared, he might not be able to save his life.

"Give the memorial to the queen, so that she won't worry about Brother Lang!"

Cao Huachun breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to Kunning Palace with the memorial.

After a while, the queen ran over in a hurry, sat opposite Zhu Changyuan and asked, "Has Your Majesty found Hong'er?"

Zhu Changyuan nodded, looked at Zhang Yan who was as excited as if he had found his own son, and said with a smirk, "How can the queen be so excited, she's just a brother, I think if you give birth to a prince in the future, I'm afraid you will be biased." Brother Lang!"

The queen ignored Zhu Changyuan's words at all, and asked directly: "How do you plan to deal with it?"

That's what she cares most about.

"Kill it!" Zhu Changyuan's face suddenly became very serious, and he said to the queen half-jokingly.

Zhang Yan became anxious when she heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty can't, you clearly promised me..."

Zhu Changyuan said: "Why don't I dare?"

Zhang Yan suddenly stood up and said to Zhu Changyuan, "King Yanming, King Yanming, King Yanming!"

After calling Yanming King three times in a row, Zhu Changyuan was amused by her, and said with a smile: "I said to kill Zhou Kui, not Brother Hong, do you think you are promising?"

She also saw Zhang Yanzi's lazy appearance, her fluffy hair hanging casually behind her, sleepiness remained on her face, and she didn't even wash up.What's more, on such a cold day, she actually ran all the way from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace in a slightly thicker pajamas.

This is simply too much.

Looking at the white sky outside, Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, and said again: "How decent is it to come to see me without dressing up?"

Zhang Yan hastily confessed, knelt down and said: "The concubine is guilty, and the concubine thanked His Majesty for not killing him!"

Knowing that she pleaded for Zhu Cihong, Zhu Changyuan felt a little displeased, and asked, "In your heart, which is more important, Brother Hong or I?"

Zhang Yan raised her head, smiled slightly, like a peach blossom blooming in the palace, and said, "Naturally, His Majesty is even better!"

"Then I found a son for you, how do you thank me?" Zhu Changyuan stretched out his hand and lifted the kneeling Zhang Yan's chin with two fingers, looking at her jade-white face, he asked provocatively.

Cao Huachun bowed back knowingly, and gently closed the door of Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Yan breathed slightly, and said: "How much thanks does your Majesty want, how can I thank my concubine?"

Zhu Changyuan shook his head and said, "I never ask for thanks!"

Zhang Yan stood up slowly from the ground, her face was reddish, she looked out of the window with some anxiety, then at Zhu Changyuan, and said, "Then..."

After saying two words, he was so ashamed that he couldn't continue, and then looked down at the stove in front of him, and remained silent.

Zhu Changyuan stretched his right hand into a palm, slowly approached her lower abdomen, inserted it into the underwear, and touched Zhang Yan's smooth skin, both of them trembled slightly.

Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath, put his right hand on Zhang Yan's smooth belly, and then gently pushed upwards, closing his eyes with an expression of enjoyment, but said without a formal expression: "Look, Du, Du, Dong It's cold, if it happens again next time, it will probably freeze!"

Zhang Yan was short of breath, closed her eyes and said: "Don't worry, in order to bear the rain and dew from His Majesty, my concubine, my concubine, oh, my concubine, oh, no more! Well, your majesty, wait until the evening, huh, your majesty will ask for more later!" Morning..."

"I'm going to be late, they, oh, they will, go to his morning!"

+++++++++++++++++
Zhu Changyuan's battle was fierce this time, but even though he was half an hour late, he still went to the morning court.

Sitting on the chair, looking at the minister who had been waiting for a long time below, a feeling of being an emperor suddenly rose in his heart, and he secretly said: I spank your buttocks when you are late, and you have to wait if I am late. No one dared to deduct my salary, how cool.

He put his hands by his mouth and nose and yawned, only to realize that Zhang Yan's smell was still on his hands, and then he remembered that he had come too hastily and forgot to wash his hands.

"Oh, I'm sorry everyone, Cao Huachun fell asleep and forgot to call me!" Zhu Changyuan deliberately poured dirty water on Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun smiled wryly, and said to himself: Obviously you did the cannonballing, so blame me!

It was only then that Zhu Changyuan discovered another advantage of being an emperor: he could find someone to serve as a post for him at any time, and all those who served as the post were grateful to Dade.

Xue Guoguan presented the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, I discussed with the cabinet ministers yesterday to finalize the matter of Your Majesty's new six departments. I believe that Your Majesty's new six departments are completely reasonable, conducive to the progress of the times, and can meet the requirements of the Ming Empire."

As the old saying goes, what is above must be as good as what is below.

Zhu Changyuan just inadvertently said something in the past two days to follow the pace of the times and adapt to the trend of the times, and the officials below have already started citing scriptures.

However, this might not be a good thing for him.

Except for Jiang Fengyuan, all the cabinet ministers below scolded Xue Guoguan in their hearts, and secretly said: How dare you say that the cabinet ministers are discussing?Obviously, you and Jiang Fengyuan took advantage of the opportunity of being on duty in the palace at night to finalize it by yourself. I don’t know any news, okay?

"Okay, present!"

Cao Huachun hurried down and brought up Xue Guoguan's memorial and handed it to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan took a general look, and it was similar to what he saw in the side hall on the platform before. He nodded and said, "That's very good. The cabinet will draw up a list of ministers and ministers, and report it to me."

In the morning, I have already communicated with Zhu Changyuan. The new department will use people from Riyue Island, and there is still a lot of communication.

But Xue Guoguan had to put on a show and said: "Yes, I obey the order!"

After Xue Guoguan finished, Wang Daozhi, the censor of Zuodu, wrote a letter and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Sizhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has become an official, and I recommend Liu Zongzhou, the servant of Zuo, as Minister!"

Liu Zongzhou was originally sent home by Emperor Chongzhen in a contest with Wen Tiren three years ago, but now he has returned to his post because of Zhu Changyuan's call.

"Do you have any opinions, ministers?" Zhu Changyuan asked.

Liu Zongzhou is a great contemporary Confucianist with a high reputation, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world, so there will be no one who opposes it.

"Okay, then Master Liu!" Zhu Changyuan made the decision at that time.

Liu Zongzhou came out from the team, knelt down to thank Zhu Changyuan, and said: "My lord, Liu Zongzhou thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!" His mind was full of thoughts.

When Zhu Changyuan and Zhu Changyuan were officials in the same yamen, he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the other party was the head of the sixth rank. Because of the Wen Tiren case, the two were expelled from the court at the same time.

Zhu Changyuan joined the army and became a soldier. He went home to work in agriculture and taught him lessons.

But in just a few years, Zhu Changyuan has been promoted all the way. First he was defending Xiangyang, then he was directly titled "Uncle Emperor", and then he was granted the title of "Shenhou!" The king paid homage to the prime minister, and even today's carry is the emperor.

Three years seemed like a dream, Liu Zongzhou couldn't imagine it was real.

"Liu Aiqing lives in peace, hope to be loyal to his duties, and serve the country and the people!" Zhu Changyuan stood up, looked at the full hall of ministers, and said: "You are all high-ranking officials and generous salaries. I have no objection, and I will give you even higher salary in the future." salary."

"As a minister, you should repay the worries of the king! However, please don't forget the teachings of the emperor Taizu!" After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, two little eunuchs below carried a screen to the hall, and placed the screen in the front of the hall. middle.
