In the study of the Duke's Mansion, Emperor Zhu Youlang of Yongli was busy reviewing the memorials sent by the cabinet in the morning. In the past, when he was in Anlong, the memorials sent from various places were first sent to the Guiyang Guozhu Mansion, and then transferred from the Guozhu Mansion to Anlong. Most of the memorials transferred were reviewed by Sun Kewang. They only sent them to Zhu Youlang for a message. Therefore, Zhu Youlang had no real power and was completely a puppet emperor. Even the cabinet and the six ministries of Anlong Mansion were in name only. The affairs of the Yongli Dynasty were almost monopolized by the six ministries set up by Sun Kewang of Guiyang.

After Li Ding's national security guard Zhu Youlang arrived in Kunming, the cabinet and six ministries of the Yongli court truly played their role, and Zhu Youlang once again performed his emperor duties.

Like Dongxun Li Chengdong at that time, Li Dingguo was quite devout to Emperor Yongli, respected the re-established Yongli court, and was loyal to the ministers and did not interfere with the appointment and removal of court officials.

However, Zhu Youlang did not learn from his previous lessons and still appointed Ma Jixiang, who had defected to Sun Kewang, as the chief assistant. Although Li Dingguo did not say much about this, his subordinates and the upright officials of the foreign court had many complaints, believing in the emperor's right and wrong, and believing in villains.

The arrival of Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi exposed the private detention of the governor's and governor's newspapers, but Zhu Youlang gave up this matter gently and sent someone to scold Ma Jixiang, and there was no punishment other than that.

Li Dingguo, who had personally led his troops to fight Sun Kewang's front army, was very sad when he learned about this in the army, but he still reminded his subordinates who were left behind in Kunming, saying, "We have already guaranteed that the emperor and the king will break up today, so we should respect the emperor. We should not discuss the emperor's will without permission. We should do it with caution."

However, in order to prevent Ma Jixiang from making trouble again, Li Dingguo sent people back to Kunming. He asked the memorials of each ministries to send them to the emperor first, which was the same as the decree sent by Zhu Youlang. Therefore, although Ma Jixiang hated that this move deprived the power of the cabinet, he did not dare to sing against the emperor and the King of Jin again, and honestly clamped his tails to be a human being.

After this incident, all the memorials from the Six Ministry and the Tongzheng Department were sent to Emperor Yongli first.

Zhu Youlang also changed his previous laziness and had to summarize the memorials sent out. Today's memorials must be approved today and will never be delayed until tomorrow. When talking about the emperor's spirit and seriousness in the foreign court, he said that he could be compared with Emperor Chongzhen at that time. Whether this evaluation is good or bad, it can only make people imagine.

In the morning, the Tongzhengsi sent more than a dozen memorials and Tang newspapers, all of which were delivered to Kunming by express horses from all over the country. After Zhu Youlang finished several copies, he asked the internal supervisor to send them to the cabinet to the bill. Then he asked the official to approve the bonus.

The ancestral system is the first to vote in the cabinet, and then the official approval was approved by the Secretary of State. After seeing that there was no problem, the emperor officially issued an edict to various departments for implementation. Now this system has not changed. It’s just that there was an additional emperor personally approved it before the cabinet approval.

Since Ma Jixiang was scolded by Emperor Yongli, the cabinet became careful. Most of the opinions proposed by the cabinet ministers were mainly reviewed by the emperor. To a certain extent, the power of the cabinet was greatly weakened, and the imperial power gradually became heavier again.

After another memorial was approved, Zhu Youlang suddenly said to Wang Kun, who was standing beside him: "You go to the cabinet again to see if there is any news about the King of Jin. If so, please send it to me."

Wang Kun knew that the emperor was worried about the war between King Jin and Sun Kewang, so he said, "Emperor. King Jin's memorial is coming, and the cabinet will definitely send it to the emperor immediately." He advised, "The emperor has already criticized the memorials for a whole morning. It's time to stop and rest for a while."

Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "Where can I rest? How dare I rest? By the way, who is on duty in the cabinet today?"

Wang Kun said: "It's Master Fuge."

Fuge Lao was the Grand Secretary Fu Gang. He was originally the most popular assistant. However, because the emperor appointed Ma Jixiang, Fu Gang had to retreat to the position of secondary assistant.

Fu Gang is a mature and steady person and is very effective in doing it. Zhu Youlang was not worried that he would make a mistake, so he asked Wang Kun: "Where has Ma Jixiang been?"

Wang Kun was stunned and thought for a while and said, "I heard that the old man of the Pavilion has gone to handle the military rations of the King of Jin."

"It's enough to handle the raising of military rations by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. What is his assistant doing?"

Zhu Youlang was very angry. Ma Jixiang was really good at doing things. As the chief assistant, he went to do small matters about preparing military rations. He really distinguished the priorities.

Seeing the emperor getting angry, Wang Kun hurriedly said, "The master is not at ease, afraid that the people below will miss the big affairs of King Jin. At present, King Jin is responsible for the safety of our Ming Dynasty. The cost of the army must not be careless, and there must be no shortage of food and grass."

Wang Kun obviously said good things for Ma Jixiang. Ma Jixiang was a prime minister who went to prepare military rations. Others didn't know what he was thinking. How could Wang Kun not know? He wanted to take the opportunity to get a fortune to make a living, and it was difficult for the prime minister to be able to give up his own hands. Over the years, he has been very frustrated in An Long. After finally reaching out for a mobile phone, the prime minister is shameless.

Zhu Youlang was coaxed by Wang Kun, turned anger and laughed, and said, "That's true. The King of Jin must provide sufficient supply. Don't let the people below mislead the matter. Well, after Ma Jixiang was scolded by me, he knew that it was better than him. It's not in vain that I trusted him so much." After saying that, he didn't care about Wang Kun, sat there on his own, and then reviewed the remaining memorials.

After just placing a few copies like this, Zhu Youlang suddenly felt a little tired, so he asked Wang Kun to read the memorial and Tang to him. He gave him another explanation, and Wang Kun picked up the pen and drafted it.

Wang Kun entered Nei Shutang to study in the Forbidden City in his early years. Thanks to the teachings of Nei Shutang, his handwriting was well written and neat. In addition, he was a eunuch in the Sili and had criticized a lot of red marks, so he naturally would not make mistakes in writing. Zhu Youlang looked at him from the side and felt relieved.

After Wang Kun drafted three memorials on his behalf, Zhu Youlang felt that his spirit had been slightly restored, so he waved his hand to signal Wang Kun to step down and continue to draft the order himself.

Wang Kun took a few steps respectfully and stood there where he was just standing, breathing with his breath, not daring to make any movement.

After another copy was written, Zhu Youlang saw that there were still many memorials and reports on the table, and he couldn't finish it for a while, so he put down his pen and got up to move his muscles and bones. After sitting for a long time, he felt a little sore in his waist.

Wang Kun came up and was about to ask the emperor if he needed something to eat, but an internal culprit outside said outside: "Report to Master, the Empress and Princess Changle are here."

"The queen and the princess are here?" Zhu Youlang immediately smiled and ordered the inner prisoner: "Let them in quickly."

After a while, Empress Wang and Princess Changle Zhu Shuyi both came to the study.

"I have met the emperor!"

Queen Wang bowed and was about to bow, but Zhu Youlang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, pretending to be unhappy and said, "How many times have you told you? Don't bow when you see me."

Queen Wang smiled, but still insisted on saluting. Zhu Youlang had no choice but to let her go.

"Shuyi has met the emperor!"

Princess Changle also stepped forward to salute Zhu Youlang. Her father was Emperor Shaowu Zhu Yuyan, and her great-grandfather was the 23rd son of Emperor Taizu, the Tang Dynasty, King Zhu Yuyan. According to generation, Emperor Shaowu Zhu Yuyan and Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian were both uncles of Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang. Therefore, Zhu Shuyi was the aunt of Emperor Yongli. But she dared not really regard herself as an aunt in front of Emperor Yongli. In addition, she was young, so she only called her own name.

"Princess, please give me a gift."

Zhu Youlang looked at this distant cousin. When he thought of her uncle and father, he felt indescribable feeling and felt a lot of emotion. He stepped forward and held the princess. He asked her with a smile: "Are you used to living these days?"

"Shuyi is used to living."

Although he was a nephew, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang was nearly 20 years older than Zhu Shuyi. In addition, he was exhausted over the years and looked old. Therefore, in Zhu Shuyi's eyes, his cousin Zhu Youlang looked like a father.

Wang Kun stepped forward to greet Queen Wang and Princess Changle, and then brought two brocade stools.

"It's good to get used to it. I'm afraid you're not used to it. Come and sit down and talk." Zhu Youlang signaled Queen Wang and Princess Changle to sit down and talk.

"I heard from Mr. Guo. You escaped from Guangzhou with King Tang, but why did you later get separated from him?"

The Tang King Zhu Youlang mentioned was definitely not Zhu Yuyan, the father of Princess Changle. But her other uncle, Zhu Yue from Wencun.

"Shuyi was only seven years old at that time. She was carried by the wet nurse and escaped from Guangzhou with her uncle. She was caught by the Qing army halfway. In the chaos, the wet nurse was lost with Shuyi and her uncle. She had no choice but to take Shuyi back to her hometown Luodingzhou. Shuyi lived there for several years, and the wet nurse unfortunately died of illness. Later, Shuyi heard that her uncle was in Taishan area and wanted to find him, but she met a bandit on the way and asked them to be captured in the village."

Thinking of the death of her wet nurse who loved her the most, Zhu Shuyi's eyes turned red, she suppressed the sadness in her heart and continued:

"The bandits saw Shuyi's young and didn't speak. They just thought Shuyi was a mute, so they asked Shuyi to cook and wash clothes for them. Shuyi lived in that village for six years. Later, after hearing a scholar's words, the bandits went down the mountain to attack the Qing army in Luo Dingzhou City. After the scholar took the bandits down the mountain, all the women who were abducted by the bandits went down the mountain and ran home. Shuyi did not dare to stay there alone, so she went down the mountain. After going down the mountain, Shuyi was homeless and wanted to go to Taishan alone to find her uncle, but she didn't know where her uncle was until she met Grand Secretary Guo on the road."

"If it weren't for Shuyi, Lord Guo would not be able to pass the Qing army's checkpoint and would even be captured by the Qing army. Whenever he talked about this, Lord Guo praised Shuyi and regarded Shuyi as his life-saving benefactor." Queen Wang interrupted.

Empress Wang naturally told Zhu Youlang about these things. Thinking of the princess suffering so much at such a young age, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but sigh and said to Princess Changle: "The princess has suffered a lot over the years. I feel sad when I hear them. Oh, my Zhu family's children are really plagued by many disasters." As she said that, for some reason, she suddenly remembered the two biological flesh and blood that she lost in Zhaoqing, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing her husband like this, Queen Wang knew that he missed his flesh and blood, and was afraid that he would be too sad and sad, so she hurriedly said to Wang Kun: "Go and ask someone to send some snacks. The emperor must be hungry until now."

"Yes, Empress."

Wang Kun went out to send snacks to the palace maids.

When the snacks were delivered, Zhu Youlang stopped his sadness, picked up a piece of snack and handed it to his cousin, and said softly: "You are the king of the Ming Dynasty, but you have never enjoyed any wealth since you were a child. Instead, you have suffered as much as we adults. I am really sad and sad. Come on, eat a snack, which is made in a very famous restaurant in Kunming City. It is delicious. I like it very much. You can try it. If you like it, I will ask them to send some more."

Princess Changle took the snack and suddenly became a little lost. She whispered: "Shuyi knows that the mutton soup is delicious."

Lamb soup?

Zhu Youlang and Queen Wang were both stunned. They were about to ask, but they didn't expect that there was a sudden figure outside. They were so anxious that they didn't look at the road. They knelt in front of Zhu Youlang with a "thump" and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, Lu Bu Jie, Lu Bu Jie, Lu Bu Jie!"
