Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Second The Grand Scholar Comes From Guangdong

The Duke of Qian was destroyed by rebels during the Shadingzhou Rebellion in the second year of Longwu. Later, after the Daxi Army entered Yunnan, Sun Kewang sent someone to rebuild the Duke of Qian and presided over the government affairs of the Daxi Army. After the Daxi Army Alliance Ming and Anti-Qing, Sun Kewang established the Qin Palace (the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom) in Guiyang. The Duke of Qian was returned to his original master Mu Tianbo. However, because Kunming was controlled by Feng Shuangli and other generals of the Daxi Army, Mu Tianbo did not dare to return to the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom

Although the Duke of Qian is not as large as the imperial palace, it is also called the Mu Palace in Kunming City, so it occupies a huge area.

Because of his heartache, he lost his eldest son and second son, Zhu Youlang loved his third son Zhu Cixuan very much and was anxious to see his son. Under the guidance of the inner prisoner and the palace maid, he quickly walked towards the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's Mansion in the night was quiet. Except for the guards, eunuchs and palace maids on duty, the rest of the mansion were sleeping soundly in the house. According to the rules of the palace, there were palace maids calling for the night at night. They held palace lanterns and golden bells in their hands and sang "The world is peaceful" every night, regardless of wind and rain, and they kept cold and heat. However, the Duke's Mansion of Qian was not an imperial palace, but this was just a temporary residence of Emperor Yongli. In addition, the evacuation from Anlong was rushed, and no one of the tools in the palace could be brought with them. After arriving in Kunming, they were only hastily placed. The palace system and rules were not fully established. Li Dingguo even put the priority on the security of Emperor Yongli's guards. Therefore, the rules in the Duke's Mansion were simple, so the palace maid was naturally exempted from shouting at the night.

When we arrived at the residence of Queen Wang, a palace maid quickly came up to kneel on the side of the Hou Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang. Soon, Queen Wang rushed to the door to kneel down to greet him.

Because he had been following Emperor Yongli for a long time and Queen Wang's health was always bad, so Zhu Youlang could not make her kneel. He hurriedly pulled her up and said with concern: "Didn't I tell you? I'm just like a couple in the folk. I'll be exempt from these traditional Chinese etiquettes. If you do this again in the future, I won't come to you."

Queen Wang was moved when she heard this, but said, "The emperor is the king of a country. As the queen, I am the mother of a country, how can I not obey etiquette and law?"

Zhu Youlang smiled and shook his head and said, "You and I have a couple in distress are the greatest true feelings in the world. Why do you need to talk about etiquette?" After saying that, he looked into the yard with expectation, "Is Xuan'er okay? Have you slept? I missed him very much in the study just now."

"Xuan'er is already asleep, he is still young. How can he stay up late in his body? He went to bed early. By the way, Xuan'er learned a lot of principles with Mr. Lei today." Queen Wang took her husband's hand and walked slowly towards the residence.

The Mr. Lei mentioned by Queen Wang refers to the Grand Secretary Lei Yuelong, who was also the prince's teacher chosen by Zhu Youlang for his son.

When he heard that his son had learned a lot of principles, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but have a smile on his face and asked, "But is it true? Xuan'er, don't mess with Master Lei, but asks you, your mother, to coax me later."

"Look at what the emperor said, no matter how ungrateful I am, I can't raise a child and not teach him. Instead, I help him hide his father's principles. Xuan'er is really smart. Mr. Lei only taught him a few times. He then wrote it down. After school, I personally took the exam, and he could answer them one by one, and even learn from it."

Queen Wang chuckled, her face full of pride in her mother's pride for her son.

"That's good, that's good. Xuan'er is good at studying and inheriting my throne in the future. I will be the Supreme Emperor. With the Queen, you will play the piano and write poems in the palace every day, travel the mountains and watch the waters, and be the pair of immortals and mandarin ducks."

Zhu Youlang's smile was even more intense. He really wanted to stop worrying about state affairs, and also wanted to live happily and worry-free with Empress Wang like a couple among the people. If he could really restore his ancestors' ancestral power, he would rather give up the throne to his son and spend the rest of his life with Empress Wang.

Queen Wang's eyes turned red when she heard this, and there was nothing she could say.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Youlang felt a little sad and forced a smile and said, "I won't say this anymore. By the way, I came to you just to see Xuan'er. Take me there quickly. I'm not anxious.

Queen Wang felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you are a father and don't see what time it is. Xuan'er has gone to bed early. Didn't you wake him up? Isn't it that Xuan'er has to go to the morning class tomorrow?"

As soon as he said that, looking at her husband's slightly haggard face, he couldn't help but feel sad and changed his mind, "I know that the emperor is worried about national affairs and cannot give up the opportunity to get together for a good time. Since the emperor is thinking very much, I will wake up Xuan'er and let your father and son have a good time."

Zhu Youlang thought for a while, but said, "Forget it, Xuan'er is already asleep. I, a father, will not wake him up, so as not to ask the child to blame my father for disturbing him to rest. I am tired, so let's rest with the queen." After saying that, he reached out to hold Queen Wang and wanted to rest, but there was a burst of urgent footsteps behind him.

"Whoever runs around is not afraid of being shocked by the emperor!"

The inner supervisor turned around and raised the lamp to illuminate the people. The guards also turned their heads and looked at them, with a look of vigilance in their eyes.

It was a little eunuch. He stepped forward and knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Prince has urgent matters to see the emperor!"

Queen Wang felt sorry for her husband and scolded the eunuch, "It's already been time, the emperor is about to rest. Can't Wang Kun say anything tomorrow?"

"this..."

After hearing what the Empress said, the little eunuch stood there and dared not speak.

Zhu Youlang waved his hand unconsciously, glanced at the little eunuch, and asked him, "What's wrong with Wang Kun? I want to see me so anxiously."

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Eunuch Wang wants me to come and invite the emperor. He said that Grand Secretary Guo from Guangdong has returned and is waiting in the study. If you have any important matters, please go quickly!"

"Guo Qing is back?!"

Zhu Youlang was startled first, then overjoyed and ordered the internal supervisor: "Hurry up and hold the lights in front of me, I'm going to the study."

"Your Majesty, please wait a little bit and don't fall."

Queen Wang knew that Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi had been recruiting a righteous army in Guangdong to fight against the Qing Dynasty since the fourth year of Yongli. He must have had important news about Guangdong when he came to Kunming, so he did not dare to delay her husband and asked the guards to follow him and take care of him. However, he was uneasy in his heart, not knowing whether the news brought by Guo Zhiqi was good or bad.

"Guo Qing, when did you arrive? What's the situation in Guangdong? After the King of Jin left, the situation in Guangdong collapsed? Where is the city wall now? How many soldiers and horses do he have? Guangdong's Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao have made moves westward..."

As soon as he entered the study room, Zhu Youlang ran in impatiently without seeing Guo Zhiqi's figure. He didn't care to take a breath, so he couldn't wait to ask. His expression was anxious and somewhat expectant.

The person waiting in the study was not Guo Zhiqi, but Wang Kun, who had just taken over as the eunuch in charge of seals in Sili.
