Chapter 140: Walking on Thin Ice

It was dawn, but nothing happened that night.

Except for the fact that Wei Zhongxian sent a few women to sleep with him, but Jiang Wan stopped him immediately on the grounds that Zhu Youjian had already gone to bed, the night was uneventful.

Jiang Wan didn't even dare to stay with the palace servants serving in Qianqing Palace, so how could he let Wei Zhongxian send people in? He thought that even if he sent a few fairies in, Zhu Youjian probably wouldn't be interested at this time, let alone It was said that it was sent by Wei Zhongxian.

After dawn, courtiers came one after another to see him, and Zhu Youjian also started his first day as Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Wan divided half of the team to eat and rest, while the other half continued to do what the guards were supposed to do. These young guards did not understand many of the rules in the palace, but this was not a problem.

Jiang Wan told him that rules are set by people. What the rules are now does not matter what others say. They, the personal guards around the emperor, have the final say.

With his words, the teenagers became more courageous, and were no longer afraid that they would not understand the rules and do embarrassing things. After losing their scruples, the teenagers not only stopped being loose but became more strict.

Even the courtiers who came to see him felt that these guards were trying to make things difficult, but no one dared to complain about these things at this time. At most, they could only make a few slanderous remarks.

While Zhu Youjian was meeting with the minister, Jiang Wan took the time to squint for two hours. When he woke up again, he was refreshed and resurrected with full blood.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Youjian was talking to Queen Zhang, who should be said to be Queen Mother Zhang now. Outside the door, the courtiers who had sneaked out to wait for the audience were waiting silently. Jiang Wan appeared outside the door of the Palace of Qianqing. Many courtiers They all looked at Jiang Wan curiously.

Among these armored guards, a scholar wearing a long gown suddenly appeared. In their eyes, he was really out of place.

Perhaps someone had seen Jiang Wan and found out his identity, so there were low murmurs in the crowd, but the murmurs quickly stopped. These courtiers were obviously more concerned about this unknown guy than they were about him. I am concerned about what kind of person the new emperor who is in the palace at this moment will be.

Wang Chengen bowed and exited the palace, looked up and saw Jiang Wan, walking towards him.

When the emperor and the queen mother were talking, even he had to avoid them. There were some words he could listen to, and some words he really couldn't listen to.

"Last night, I was worried to death. You entered the palace so rashly without any preparation. If someone had the intention of harming you, how should I face your powerful royal brother?"

"You are so disobedient. I told you that if this happens, you will not be able to eat any meals in the palace, and you must always have loyal and reliable people around you. You can bring a eunuch with you. Entering the Qianqing Palace, you don't take your own safety seriously!"

"I'm not nagging, you are now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You want to inherit your brother's legacy and take over the Ming Dynasty. There are many people in and outside the palace who don't want to see you become the emperor. Your safety is the Ming Dynasty. The safety of the country..."

There is a sad look on Queen Mother Zhang's face, but the concern at this moment has far exceeded the sadness. When Emperor Tianqi died, he was only twenty-three years old. She, the Queen Mother, was actually just a girl in her early twenties. That's all.

However, as soon as she saw Zhu Youjian, she almost kept talking, as verbose as an old woman.

"sister in law!"

Zhu Youjian interrupted her: "I'm prepared. I'm no longer the kid who doesn't understand anything in your eyes!"

He pointed outside: "The guards outside are all members of my Tenth Prince's Palace. Moreover, they are all innocent, loyal, brave and reliable. If someone wants to harm me, then all of them must die!"

"Everyone in the Qianqing Palace has been expelled, and there is not a single suspicious person around me!"

"As for the food in the palace, I naturally don't eat it. These guards all carry dry food. I will eat whatever they eat! I don't believe that someone can find a loophole to harm me!"

Empress Dowager Zhang showed a hint of surprise, and then nodded slowly: "It seems that your imperial brother really did not misjudge the person!"

"I'll probably be a little busy these days. Sister-in-law, don't think I'm neglecting my sister-in-law!" Zhu Youjian said: "I have to deal with things in the palace first. Things outside the palace can be delayed for a while. If it's my sister-in-law's side, If you need anything, just tell the head guard next to me!"

After saying that, he shouted outside: "Jiang Qing's house!"

Jiang Wan responded and stood at the palace gate waiting for instructions.

"His name is Jiang Wan!" Zhu Youjian pointed at Jiang Wan and said, "At least, at this moment, in this palace, apart from my sister-in-law, he is the person I trust most!"

"I feel relieved knowing that you are on guard!"

Empress Dowager Zhang stood up with some relief: "I won't delay the emperor, you can do your business now. I can help to some extent with matters in the palace. Just ask him to tell me when the time comes!"

"Sister-in-law, walk slowly!"

Zhu Youjian stood up and said goodbye. Obviously, he was not quite accustomed to his status as emperor, at least not in front of those close to him.

Queen Mother Zhang walked out of the palace door, glanced at Jiang Wan, smiled slightly, and walked out with her head held high.

"You go and take a rest. I have something to do. As you said, everyone should perform their duties and find their place. The days ahead are still very long, so you have to relax!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and said, "Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Jiang Wan bowed slightly and retreated. Beside him, Wang Chengen shouted loudly: "Cui Chengxiu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, is here to see you!"

A courtier walked out of the crowd. Jiang Wan saw several guards coming forward to conduct a routine check, and then watched the man walk in.

"Father-in-law, please take some time to take a nap!" Jiang Wan saw the bloodshot eyes in Wang Chengen's eyes and said, "I am here, and I have to trouble my father-in-law to serve your majesty at night!"

"No need!" Wang Chengen smiled: "The manpower at the palace is almost here. It's better for my family to use it. I don't need our family to serve His Majesty tonight!"

He looked around, moved closer to Jiang Wan, and said in a low voice: "It's your people, you have to organize them well, and you must not miss anything. There is not much to do during the day, so let them rest in separate shifts. You But there is no rotation of people, and within a few days, His Majesty will have no one available for him!"

"I understand this!"

Jiang Wan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. If I couldn't think of this, then I would be too shameless..."

While the two were talking, someone walked up to the guard not far away and said a few words in a low voice. The guard looked a little strange and turned towards Jiang Wan: "Mr. Jiang, that person sent a message saying that I want to be here for nine thousand years."

want to see you!"
