Chapter 624 Chaoyang

In the orange-red morning glow, the sound of drums in the distance awakened the luxurious imperial city and the large capital.The sound of drums at the hour of Mao seemed to remind people that a new day has arrived.

However, Zhu Gaoxu, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had already started to move.

There is a large wide area between Bei'an Gate and Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace in the north of the imperial city.Among them, the Yulin Left Guard and the Mansion Left Guard were stationed in the east, and the Yulin Right Guard was stationed in the west.

Zhu Gaoxu was running in line with more than a thousand people in the Yulin Right Guard's defense area; in the area to the east, there were still a thousand people running there.

These more than 2,000 people were all military generals, and the lowest level was a hundred households. They were all elite soldiers before the attacking army entered Guangxi.

Zhu Gaoxu asked these generals to run six or seven miles every morning, and he personally took them to run them recently; he ran twelve miles every ten days.

In addition to two days off every ten days, the generals have to run every morning and train the army every day.

Military pay will be paid as much as the period of the battle for the crime.

The noisy footsteps gradually became a little lighter, and the team that was tying up to a long dragon began to slow down.Zhu Gaoxu trotted away from the team, and the generals looked at Zhu Gaoxu in short clothes.

Zhu Gaoxu ran to the front of a group of eunuchs, palace maids and Jinyiwei guards. He was sweating heavily and breathing heavily and evenly.

A palace maid knelt on the ground and held a wet towel folded in a wooden plate. Zhu Gaoxu grabbed it, wiped his face randomly, and threw it back into the wooden plate.

At this moment, General Zhao Ping came immediately and handed the reins to Zhu Gaoxu.He stepped on the stirrup and rolled over the horse vigorously.There was a cry behind him.

Zhu Gaoxu ran along a street outside the palace wall, and a group of Jinyiwei guards also kicked the horse and followed.

The sun in the east sky has emerged from the palace wall.Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes on the horse's back for a while, and suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.

The rising sun seemed to herald a new era to the world; the closed continents and regions in the world will begin to establish connections in the near future and will communicate in a rough and disorderly way of eating the weak and the strong!

Perhaps because the world entered such a period for the first time, they were very ignorant; but Zhu Gaoxu was different, he had already seen the future.

This year, Zhu Gaoxu is twenty-six years old and has not yet completed. He is at this age and holds great power, facing this era and this situation; if he can't do anything, he will not even forgive himself...

The group rode their horses and headed straight south to Xihuamen from the main road outside the palace wall.

The soldiers and eunuchs guarding the gate knew Zhu Gaoxu and gave great gifts outside Xihuamen.

Zhu Gaoxu kicked his horse and rushed into Xihua Gate, and then entered the three hall areas from the Wu Tower to the east of Wuying Hall.

He entered from the north of the Imperial Gate, and then under the service of the eunuchs and palace maids, he changed into a yellow five-clawed dragon robe and put on a black gauze hat.Then he went to the Imperial Gate to listen to the affairs seriously.

There was no court meeting today. After Zhu Gaoxu greeted the officials on duty, he started working.

At this time, he was no different from the previous emperors, and he was quite diligent; the only difference was that his hair was a little wet and his sweat was not dry yet.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly saw the memorial of Zhang Fu's memorial and requesting to remove his title.Gu Cheng apologized for guilt, saying that he was in good health a while ago and failed to congratulate him when the new emperor ascended the throne. He has recovered recently. Please punish the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at these two memorials, pondered for a while, and remembered the memorial that Wu Gao pleaded for Geng Hao.

In less than a stick of incense, Zhu Gaoxu handled these matters together.

He turned to Hu Guangdao, an official from the Hanlin Academy behind a table: Writing the imperial edict, Zhang Fu's Marquis of Xincheng, Gu Cheng's Marquis of Zhenyuan, Wu Gao's Marquis of Jiangyin, were either granted the title of Emperor Taizu, or granted the title of Emperor Taizong; I cannot take the credit.When "destroying crimes and rebellion", all the civil and military officials and military officials were deceived by the deposed crown prince and the treacherous slander in the East Palace. It is understandable that I have decided to kill only the evil ones, and I cannot reduce the title because of this.

Zhang Fu and Gu Cheng’s apology will be rejected and no further mention will be made in the future.

Xu Huizu's rank of Duke of Wei was expelled during the Yongle period because of crimes; later the abolished prince and restored his title, which was illegal, so Xu Huizu should have no title.Zhang Fu's title of British duke was granted the title of deposed prince and was illegal, so he was still the Marquis of Xincheng.

Hu Guang bowed and said: I will accept the order.

...The emperor had long guessed that he wanted to enfeoff heroes and harems inside and outside the court and the country; in recent days, a lot of news has been reported to the palace, so everyone already knows it.

Yao Ji, who lives in the West Six Palaces, has been very silent recently.

She had heard what Yao Fang had done before, but she was not angry or frowning; she had these emotions in her heart, but she had not shown them, because it would be of no use to let outsiders see them!

At this time, Yao Ji had invited the eunuch of the Sili Prison, Wang Gui, to ask for more details.

Wang Gui narrated the ins and outs of the whole story in a deep voice, two illegal things that Yao Fang had done.

Yao Ji just listened silently, and she sat quietly next to a few tables; compared to before, her expression was still calm at this time, but she was less lively and her smiling face was completely invisible.

At this moment, Wang Gui whispered: By the way, when Yao Fang went to the old mansion (Hanwang Mansion) to take Xiao Wencai away, he even said something!He said that his sister was named a concubine and the imperial concubine, which was as simple as playing...

Yao Ji, who was sitting on the chair, heard this, and her eyebrows trembled and her bright pupils shrank a little.

She finally said: My brother was not good at doing something ridiculous, and Eunuch Wang laughed at him.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: Wherever you are, I dare not!

Although Wang Gui was a eunuch, he became a eunuch in the Silijian and was in charge of the eunuch in the huge imperial city, and his power was still quite good.

Seeing his respectful look, Yao Ji couldn't help but sigh: Alas, it would be great if my brother had half of his knowledge of the general.

I was just angry when I saw General Yao and was confused.Wang Gui said, "I will say goodbye."

Wang Gui walked out of the palace and the two palace maids outside the door saw him go.

At this time, Yao Ji stood up from the chair, her brows frowned, and even her face turned pale.

She dragged her long skirt, held her hands in front of her abdomen, and walked slowly back and forth on the wooden board.

She seemed to have forgotten the time and kept walking like this, not saying a word or doing anything for a long time.

She thought about a lot of things and a lot of people.

But what I thought about the most was the matter of her brother Yao Fang.

She and Yao Fang were separated when they were young, and the brother and sister had little deep relationship; but after all, they were brother and sister, and Yao Fang was one of her only relatives.

Yao Ji was both heartbroken and angry at Yao Fang.

Now, the imperial court is about to award titles, and Guo Wei and Du Qianrui are all looking forward to Cute's enthronement of their parents' family; and Yao Ji is the most miserable. Not only is the Yao family hopelessly awarded the reward, but the brother is also facing death penalty... Yao Fang is really likely to be executed!

When Zhu Gaoxu was a vassal king, this kind of thing could be favored; now he is the emperor and has greater power, but it is not that simple!

Occasionally, when Yao Ji is very angry, she doesn’t even want to care about Yao Fang anymore!He really asked himself for his own sake and was ignorant again and again.

Yao Ji calmed down and still felt that she had to find ways to save Yao Fang!

If her brother was punished for death, the entire Yao family would be implicated and become an unclearable stain; the family of the murderer was also a crime convicted by the new emperor himself, what status could his family have?

After lunch, Yao Ji began to take a shower and change her clothes, and slowly dress up.

She rubbed for nearly an hour, looked at the yellowed mirror at the bronze mirror, and her beautiful face couldn't help but sigh.

Then she walked to the base outside the Ganqing Palace and knelt gently to the door.

The eunuchs and palace maids on duty around him were shocked when they saw this!

Everyone noticed the few wives and concubines Zhu Gaoxu had before entering the palace, so he naturally recognized Yao Ji!

Yao Ji was going to wait here until the time of Youth, and she knew that since Zhu Gaoxu entered the palace, she only lived in the Ganqing Palace and did not go anywhere else.(It should be because I think the Ganqing Palace is safer.)

Unexpectedly, after waiting for less than half an hour, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly walked up to the base.

Yao Ji raised her head slightly surprised and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said, "I heard you kneel here, so hurry up and get back in advance." The stone bricks on the ground are as hard as stones. Get up quickly. What can we say carefully?

He walked forward and lifted Yao Ji up without saying a word.

Yao Ji felt the power of his understatement, and suddenly felt warm without any preparation, and her nose was sore and almost cried.

Entering the house... said the palace.Zhu Gaoxu grabbed her soft and white hand and said.He turned his head and waved his hand hard, and all the palace servants bowed their knees and stopped outside.

The two walked into the huge Ganqing Palace, and Zhu Gaoxu pulled Yao Ji to a big chair and sat down. He immediately sat down on the chair next to him.In the spacious palace, there was a silence.

Yao Ji slowly looked back around her. She came to the capital and went to bed once, but it was evening.This is the first time I can see the emperor's bedroom clearly.

It's really luxurious here.Yao Ji whispered softly, but for some reason, I still feel that the courtyard in the Hanwang Mansion in Yunnan is more comfortable.

Zhu Gaoxu said: This specification itself is a kind of majesty and power.But if you want to sleep comfortably, I feel the same as you.

Yao Ji showed a reluctant smile.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: But if we talk about the places we have lived in, the most unforgettable thing is the shop attic below Jiming Temple and Xiangzhu Street.

The Lord still remembers it.Yao Ji pursed her lips gently. The place was uncomfortable. It was very difficult for both of them to lie down, but she was forced to helpless...

Zhu Gaoxu said: If it weren't for this narrowness, how could I be so close to you?

Yao Ji's complex feelings at that time still turned red.

But she suddenly had a little more hope; when she heard Zhu Gaoxu and Xu Jiu and thought of her past affection, she understood that there might be room for that matter.
