Chapter 139: Wei Zhongxian is deflated
Time has been recovered to the time when the Southwest Journey News was just passed back to Beijing. Since that day, inside and outside the capital have been busy.
Han Mine, Liu Yiyin, Wang Zaijin and other cabinet ministers, as well as Cui Chengxiu and other ministers, the ministers and ministers, should visit each other and go through the motions, and coordinate with the departments and courts to speed up the preparation of the triumphal ceremony.
Speaking of which, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not personally fought for several times, and there was not much experience to learn from this triumphal ceremony. Just look at the triumphal ceremony of Wuzong's rebellion, we still need to prepare for the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth and offering prisoners.
This triumphal is of great symbolism, so it is naturally necessary to be perfect.
All departments and yamen in the capital also have their own division of labor, just like small parts of a large machine, they started quickly.
The department set up a supervisor is equivalent to a logistics department, which is in charge of ceremonies, curtains, etc. The Imperial Heaven Supervision is responsible for observing the celestial phenomena and telling the people of the world that we have calculated the day the emperor will return to triumph. It is a good day and will be blessed by God.
A few days before the emperor returned to Beijing, Shang Baosi was in charge of talismans and seals, and he wanted to place flags in the square outside Zhengyang Gate and set up a high platform.
Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and the Five City Military and Masjid will dispatch yamen runners, soldiers and guards on both sides of the streets and alleys on the day of triumphant success, so as not to disturb the saint's carriage.
There is also the Jiaofangsi, which is in charge of music, dance and opera. At the prisoner's (pretending to behave) ceremony held a few days after returning to Beijing, they will present songs and dances to set off a lively atmosphere.
Today, when Zhu Youxiao set out from Tongzhou, Queen Zhang Yan was not idle either. She got up early and went to Cining Palace to greet Concubine Liu.
Almost at the same time, outside Zhengyang Gate, all officials gathered together and presented sacrifices to the capital like in the past, thanking the heaven, earth, and ancestral temples for their triumphant return.
On the afternoon of October 1st of the first year of Tianqi, the Yongwei Camp, who was sharp and sharp, walked slowly into Beijing from Yongding Gate with neat steps.
In fact, this victorious army that returned triumphantly from the southwest arrived in Tongzhou more than ten miles away a few days ago.
The reason why he stayed for a few days was that he gave the capital a time to prepare the ceremony, and that of Zhu Youxiao.
As for how well the ritual department was prepared for this ceremony, it must be more grand than the triumphant success of Wuzong...
The emperor rode on a white war horse with a cold expression, wearing royal armor, and was covered with fashionable clothes behind him, and countless flags were clamoring with the north wind.
This seventeen-year-old imperial emperor came from the deep palace, but his various actions since he succeeded to the throne in the late Wanli period and the blood stains on his clothes and armor all show his wrists and abilities that are inconsistent with his age.
It is rare to search for historical books if it only takes one year to succeed the throne and have achieved such a high reputation among the people.
What greeted Zhu Youxiao was the cheers of the people in the capital. Many people were kneeling on both sides of the road with conscience, shouts resounded through the sky.
"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
"The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
Amid such cheers that shocked the world, everyone of the officials and soldiers who maintained order felt uncomfortable and did not dare to take it lightly, and they were nervous as if they were anything.
In the boiling of countless people, they are like a small boat, which may be dispersed and chaotic at any time...
It has to be said that human emotions are the most unpredictable.
The moment they stepped on the streets of the capital, facing the eager expectations of countless people, they unintentionally straightened their backs, and at this moment, a raging fire ignited in their eyes.
The well-trained soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion did not make extreme actions. They followed the Emperor Horse silently and could not see anything, but the pride and pride in their bones could not be concealed.
Zhu Youxiao slowly came to the square outside Zhengyang Gate and saw the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time ago. A hint of mockery appeared on his face, which had not changed for a long time.
Accompanied by the triumphant song played by the boss band in the square, Zhu Youxiao led Yongwei camp to Zhengyang Gate, transferred to the imperial carriage, and entered directly.
......
After visiting Fengxian Hall first, a few banquet halls to pay homage to him one by one, Zhu Youxiao came to Cining Palace. Since there was no empress dowager in this dynasty, he followed the customs to see the concubine.
"Emperor, get up quickly, I've been back from going back and forth for thousands of miles?" Concubine Liu sat upright and said with a smile as soon as she finished speaking:
"Thank you for your personal struggle."
"Not working hard..." Zhu Youxiao recalled the injury on the inner thigh, and asked in a twitching corner of his mouth:
"Where is the queen, why didn't she come?"
"She..." Concubine Liu showed a kind smile, her eyes bright, as if she was talking:
"I heard that the emperor came back, she was happy at first, but almost lost her moral character when she stumbled. Now, for some reason, she suddenly felt sulky."
"Strange, I was still fine before paying my respects to the Ai family in the morning."
Zhu Youxiao was stunned and turned to smile knowingly.
Indeed, I just learned that she was pregnant and went to the in-person search. It was not that she had to go to the in-person search, but she was a little reckless.
I think I have been left in the palace for a long time and have been subjected to many rumors, but now that I am back, I will never ask anyone to create any more rumors.
This time, after winning, I won, I can show off my punches and kicks.
But the matter in the palace must be handled properly first...
Zhu Youchao respected Concubine Liu more. He said whatever he had. He would not deliberately pretend to behave. He spread his hands and said with a smile:
"Then, I'll go see her-?"
"Go quickly, go quickly..."
Concubine Liu seemed to understand, but she didn't try to keep her. She pretended to urge her. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao left the Cining Palace, she smiled slightly and went to do her own business again.
As soon as I left the Cining Palace, I saw Wei Zhongxian from a distance.
Zhu Youxiao paused, changed his light look, walked over with his hands behind his back, and Wei Zhongxian smiled and bowed:
"The emperor is back in triumph, please forgive me for not going to Zhengyang Gate to welcome you."
Zhu Youxiao was wondering just now that such a major ceremony would not come with Wei Zhongxian's temperament.
I heard it now, and didn't make any expressions, but just slowed down and said as I walked:
"What's wrong?"
Wei Zhongxian took a look in surprise and said:
"Report to the Emperor, a few days ago, several assassins were captured in the palace. They were ordered to sneak into Kunning Palace and wanted to assassinate the queen."
Speaking of this, he looked at his upper body slightly and saw that Zhu Youxiao's eyebrows were really moving slightly. He was happy and ran to the railway while it was hot:
"But the factory servants of the slaves first heard the sound of the wind and caught all the assassins. According to the confession, it was-"
Before the topic was finished, Zhu Youxiao suddenly interrupted and asked:
"How is the queen?"
"The Empress is fine, but the assassin confessed that it was Zhao Nan--" Wei Zhongxian's words were interrupted by Zhu Youxiao again.
"Okay, you have made merits in protecting the emperor, and I have rewards." Zhu Youxiao stood in front of Kunning Palace and smiled and said, "Why, do you want to see me and the queen reminisce about the past?"
“No, no…”
Wei Zhongxian was shocked, waved his hands repeatedly, and stepped back, but he was secretly alerting himself, was he a little too hasty today?
Or, how many days will I come to meet the saint again?
Thinking of this, he glanced at the Kunning Palace Gate that was closed tightly, turned around and left.
After entering the palace, Zhu Youxiao served the palace maids and threw Damao on the ground with a dark face. Seeing the dimly lit warm pavilion, he personally took the lights and came to the inner room.
At this time, Zhang Yan was lying on the couch, and Zhu Youxiao didn't feel embarrassed, so he went up and hugged her behind.
The man in his arms trembled all over, but he didn't struggle too much.
Zhu Youxiao felt soft and comfortable in his arms. He was about to speak, but when he heard a crying sound, he frowned and stood up and asked:
"Is it the assassin's business?"
