Chapter 551 The Return of the Emperor

"Crack...crack..."

"Sing--"

"Please respectfully ask your Majesty for the Holy Prayer..."

In the early morning, when the sound of firecrackers rang throughout the capital, accompanied by the singing of the Honglu Temple Minister, all the officials in court robes began to sing salutes.

Amid their kneeling and singing, the first day of the first lunar month of the 17th year of the Tianqi revelation arrived as scheduled. Zhu Youxiao, who agreed to return to the capital on this day, was also wearing a crown robes and sitting on the dragon chair of the Huangji Hall.

superior.

"Well... let me calm down!"

"Long live...Long live...Long live..."

Zhu Youxiao spoke in a plain tone, his voice echoed in the Huangji Palace and received a response soon.

All the officials holding tablets stood up one after another, and the most eye-catching one among them was naturally Zhu Youjian, who was also wearing a crown garment.

The two brothers have not seen each other for several years. Now they have finally met, but the scene is in the New Year's court, which is a pity.

Although it was a meeting for many years and the scene was a grand court meeting, for Zhu Youjian, when he saw his brother who kept saying that he had "loss" but was actually nearly 200 pounds, he

I almost couldn't hold it in a while.

But except for him, other ministers think it's nothing, after all, men have to be fat.

Although the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty did not require men to have big arms and round waists, they must at least have strong figures.

For example, Zhu Youjian is five feet and nine inches tall (189cm) and weighs more than 140 kilograms (84kg), but in the eyes of people of this era, he is still a bit thin.

"I am going to the court today for a complicated matter, so I can have a simple court meeting."

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao was a little nervous when his younger brother stared at him. He quickly interrupted his younger brother's eyes. At the same time, he also remembered the mountains of memorials in the Qianqing Palace, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Youjian complaining.

As soon as Zhu Youjian saw this gaze, he immediately knew that his brother had read the memorials in the Qianqing Palace.

Actually, there are not many, but only more than 2,600 copies. With the speed of Zhu Youxiao’s handling of the memorials, it can be processed in just one month...

"Since Your Majesty has returned to the court, I beg you to resign as the governor."

As soon as the court meeting began, Zhu Youjian expressed his idea of ​​handing over power, but the following officials immediately got upset:

"Your Majesty has just returned to the capital and has not yet adapted to it. If the King of Qi resigns at this time, it may be detrimental to Your Majesty's health."

"There are too many big and small matters in the court, and the six ministries are still struggling. What's more, Your Majesty? Please ask the King of Qi to continue to supervise the country."

"Please think twice by your Majesty..."

As the Yanshan Sect, who most wishes that the emperor will die, is now concerned about Zhu Youxiao's body, which makes people speechless.

"I am in good health recently, and I resigned from the position of governor and was preparing to recuperate."

"Even if Your Majesty does not approve it, please allow me to use the rest I have accumulated over the years."

Zhu Youjian's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but as soon as he said it, the faces of the ministers in the temple changed drastically.

It is common sense to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a good time to have a

Not to mention the fifty days before the fourth year of the Apocalypse, just starting from the fifth year of the Apocalypse, officials had 52 days off and various holidays every year, while Zhu Youjian often only had one or two days off every year.

Zhu Youjian's accumulated rest for more than 600 days.

Six hundred days...it's been almost two years.

If Zhu Youjian really had two years of rest, wouldn’t the temple be in chaos?

Therefore, all the officials looked at Zhu Youxiao one after another, hoping that the emperor could say "justice".

"This..." Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting in a high position, pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "The matter of supervising the state is put on hold for a while. As for Mu Xiu, what if you are temporarily put on it for a hundred days?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

The essence of a person is to be more and more frugal. When Zhu Youjian said he would resign from the position of governor, all the ministers refused, but when Zhu Youjian asked for a 600-day break, the ministers felt that there was nothing wrong with resigning. .

Now the emperor retained the power of King Qi to supervise the country and restricted Mu Xiu. Instead, they sang the tribute happily.

"I obey the order..." After getting more than three months of rest, Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's report to all the ministries." Seeing that Zhu Youjian stopped talking, Zhu Youjian was also anxious to finish the process and then went back to handle the mountains of memorials in the Ganqing Palace.

It seems that they don’t want to cause trouble. No matter it is the Yanshan faction or the conservative party, no one jumped out to cause trouble, but just finished the process honestly.

"Sanchao..."

"clang--"

As the singing of the Minister of the Honglu Temple rang, the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated from the Huangji Palace one after another.

However, when they withdrew, Zhu Youxiao signaled Zhu Youjian to follow him, and Zhu Youjian also took a detour to the back door of Huangji Palace.

Here, the two brothers finally took off their disguise in the temple, and Zhu Youxiao also complained: "My brother left more than 2,000 memorials for me to deal with. Are you afraid that I will be idle?"

"Brother, it's good to deal with more memorials and eat less." Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhu Youxiao's big belly and three chin, and responded angrily.

"Uh..." Zhu Youxiao was a little embarrassed by Zhu Youjian's words.

"I have told my brother a long time ago that even if my brother overeats in Yanshan, he should go out hunting more often, and that would not be like the ones right now."

Zhu Youjian really didn't know what to say. Judging from Zhu Youxiao's height of less than five feet and five inches (176cm), he could not be said to be obese even if he weighed nearly 200 pounds, but he had to lose weight.

"I will pay attention after returning to Beijing this time. Don't be angry with my brother."

Zhu Youxiao took Zhu Youjian's hand and kept comforting him and admitting his mistakes, but Zhu Youjian pulled out his hand and shook his head and said, "Brother, let's do it first."

After saying that, he looked at his pocket watch time, then bowed and said, "From today, I will take a hundred days off."

"There are all memorials in the court. If the brother is not good enough, let Ran'er help deal with it."

"Where are you going to go with your younger brother Mu Xiu?" Zhu Youxiao was worried about where Zhu Youjian was going, especially because he was going too far.

However, Zhu Youjian responded calmly, "It should be that he went to Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hexi provinces to inspect his brother."

It has been almost a year since Zhu Ciran had seen the situation of the three provinces. In a year, Zhu Youjian made many new policies and changes to the three provinces. He wanted to see if there were any changes in the three provinces.

"That's fine." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhu Youjian was going to the three provinces with railways.

As long as you go to a place with railways, you can come back for at most five or six days, and you can handle anything if you have anything to do.

Zhu Youxiao was embarrassed to not let Zhu Youjian go. After all, he had been playing outside for three or four years, and his younger brother finally had a hundred days off, so he was not good to block him many times.

"My brother has sued him."

Zhu Youjian bowed and stepped back a few steps. Although Zhu Youxiao was reluctant to leave, he could only nod and respond.

He just watched Zhu Youjian retreat, then turned around and left. It was not until Zhu Youjian completely disappeared that he looked at Wei Zhongxian:

"Let's go, go back to the Ganqing Palace."

"I accept the order..." Wei Zhongxian, who had not spoken, finally dared to speak. Zhu Youjian's aura was too strong, which made him afraid that he would be scolded if he spoke.

"It's OK to leave..." Wei Zhongxian took a breath after glance at Zhu Youjian's back.

Under his care, Zhu Youxiao returned to the Ganqing Palace, and Zhu Youjian also returned to the Qi Palace at the same time.

The first thing he did when he returned to the palace was that he went to the Guanxin Palace.

"Your Highness seems very happy today, because long live back, right..."

When he was changing clothes for Zhu Youjian, Yuan Xipin smiled and joked, and Zhu Youjian nodded:

"Not only is my brother back, but also because I am preparing to take a 100-day break today."

"Really?" Yuan Xipin looked up with a hint of surprise, followed by happiness: "It's good to rest. Your Highness hasn't had a good rest in the past few years. I'm afraid you will be exhausted."

"Well...but this time I'm going to take a break in the mansion for three or four days, and then go to Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hexi to see if the lives of the people have improved."

"After reading Ran'er's Travels, I was very worried about the lives of the people in Shanxi, but I had to order a ban on food to immigrate."

"After this year, more than one million people in Shanxi have moved out, and now there are only more than 5.6 million people. I think life should be easier."

"I just feel like I'm not having a good time if I don't go and see it."

Zhu Youjian talked about his thoughts, and at the same time discussed with Yuan Xipin: "I am going to take Brother Huang, Brother Huang, Brother Jiong, and Brother Xu to see him, and I will not bring my concubines along the way. .”

"As for Huan'er and Chan'er are too young and are not yet one year old, let them stay in Beijing."

Zhu Youjian's words were already very tactful, and in fact, they were asked Yuan Xipin, Zhu Cihuan, Zhu Cican and others to stay in the capital as hostages.

Although he didn't have to do it, he had to do it in order to reassure many people.

"Your Highness is right. I will take good care of the family, but you still have to bring at least one concubine to you."

Yuan Xipin smiled and spoke, and Zhu Youjian said slightly when he heard this: "I'll take Zhou Pingfei there."

Zhou Sujie is Zhu Cilang's biological mother, so taking her there will not affect the situation.

Yuan Xipin nodded and agreed when she heard this, and then continued to serve Zhu Youjian to change his clothes.
