Chapter 607 Like an old friend

In February, except for civil and military officials who were too far away from the capital, congratulatory letters from various places had been delivered to the Tongzheng Envoy Department and Zhu Gaoxu.

Behind the chair in Dongnuan Pavilion, the Ming map hanging on the wall has a new purpose; Zhu Gaoxu used red strokes to circle it on it according to the area of ​​the congratulations.

The map was covered with dense red circles.At first glance, it looks like a painting full of red flowers, a bit rough but very beautiful; it is exactly the same as the spring scenery at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu had made some personnel adjustments in a short period of time after he ascended the throne.

In addition to the deployment of civil and military officials in the court, he also ordered Cao Fu to be the eunuch of Shangshenjian; Hou Xian and Wang Jinghong to be the young supervisor of the Sili Supervisor (the position of the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor was left for Wang Gui).

Seeing that his throne was getting stronger and stronger, Zhu Gaoxu was in a good mood.Now we just wait for the new power structure of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize.

Recently, Zhu Gaoxu also received the 800-li military newspaper in the north, and all Mongolian tribes have retreated!

As expected by Zhu Gaoxu, some tribes went south this time just because they thought they had an opportunity, so they decided to take advantage of the situation and rob and rob, and were ready to run away; it was difficult for the court to launch a counterattack battle.

The original large-scale battle of the Jingnan Battle and the Battle of Crime in the Ming Dynasty, such a war model seems to be no longer suitable for fighting against the northern border.

Zhu Gaoxu is thinking about how to change his tactical ideas recently...

Since Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, he has been generally successful and no major problems have occurred. He has laid the foundation for his throne in terms of martial arts and morality.

But there is one thing that every time I think of Zhu Gaoxu, I feel like a thorn in my throat: Who poisoned the late emperor?!

Perhaps because I have been thinking a lot recently, this matter has simply become the sand in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, which makes him very unhappy, like a knot in his heart that is difficult to let go.

Or everyone has some knots.Like the late emperor Zhu Di, he could not let go of the whereabouts of Jianwen and his son, and had to try his best to find them out so that he could feel at ease...

At this moment, Hou Xian, the young supervisor of the Sili Supervisor, walked into the East Nuan Pavilion.When Zhu Gaoxu heard the soft footsteps, he moved his eyes away from the map in red circles and turned around to look at Hou Xian.

Hou Xian bowed forward and bowed in a deep voice: Report to the emperor, the matter is done.General Wang sent the man to Xuanwu Gate; the servant took him into the palace and cleaned up a yard in the northwest of the palace and near the Imperial Garden, so that she could live there.I sent some palace maids and eunuchs to serve them, and the cost was also quite good.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: I understand.

After all, Hou Xian was a person who served Emperor Taizong in the Yongle Dynasty. Emperor Taizong was not an emperor who was easy to serve. Hou Xian also worked as an eunuch in the Hongxi pseudo-degree dynasty; this person is very familiar with the rules in the palace.

He didn't even say a word of what he shouldn't have said, and didn't even mention Ma Enhui's name.

Ma has great kindness to me. She has been in Zhongdu for seven or eight years and has fulfilled her feelings for her ancestors.That's why I sent someone to take her back to the palace to live.Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.

Ma Enhui's identity is indeed a bit special.

Hou Xian bowed and said: Yes, the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu pretended to sit down and read the memorial, but for a while he didn't even read a word!So he simply threw down the memorial, raised his hands and stretched his arms.

Then he said in a casual tone: I won’t be working today.I went to see Mrs. Ma and thanked her in person.

Of course, Hou Xian refused to comment and immediately said: The emperor will prepare the imperial carriage soon.

Surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, Zhu Gaoxu took a sedan chair and left the Ganqing Palace.The Imperial Garden is in the northwest, and a group of people go out from the gatehouse in the west and pass through the cliff road near the West Six Palace.

Then Park was arranged to live in the West Six Palace, and somehow ran to the side of the road.She bowed her knees on the side of the road and said, "I'm paying homage to the emperor."

In recent days, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to find anyone else, just asked Park to serve in bed.She went to the Ganqing Palace to sleep almost every day, which was a very favorable manifestation, so the eunuchs stopped the sedan chair.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Park and saw her heartfelt joyful look, and immediately thought to himself: Is her political purpose a little forgotten?

Park said softly: The emperor came back early today.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I have something to do, so I will pay early.

The eunuch Hou Xian immediately walked over and said kindly: The weather is getting warmer, but the wind is still cold.You welcome the car, don't have to stand outside for too long.After saying that, Hou Xian waved his hand, and the eunuchs continued to carry the sedan chairs to the west.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at him, while Park still bowed and stood there, as if he was a little disappointed.She should know that there is an imperial garden to the west?

The crowd came outside the yard where Ma Enhui lived.

Zhu Gaoxu got out of the sedan chair and ordered most of the followers to wait outside, and only brought Hou Xian and a few eunuchs in.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the yard all came to greet them at the door, but Ma Enhui did not come out.

There is a row of houses in the yard. At the door of one of them, Ma Enhui was seen standing at the door and looking at this side.

She looked at the red dragon robe on Zhu Gaoxu's body, and her expression was very strange and complicated; it seemed to have a smile, but there was endless helplessness and sigh.

Zhu Gaoxu walked over, and the two of them were actually in awkward silence.

Ma Enhui stood silently for a while, and finally bowed her knees and said, "I have seen the Lord."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: Is this considered an order?

Ma Enhui looked up at him, but did not respond, but said: Please sit inside.

The door of the room was open, and Zhu Gaoxu and Ma Enhui walked into the room, and he sat down on the Grand Master's chair directly north.

After another silence, Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to speak: We haven't seen each other for six or seven years.

Ma Enhui murmured a little distractedly: Yes.For some reason, I saw the emperor as if an old friend met again.But when we think about it, we have only seen two or three sides in total, and we are afraid we are not considered old friends.

But it's a long time.Zhu Gaoxu said, I have missed you many times in such a long time.

Ma Enhui's face suddenly turned red, she looked up at Zhu Gaoxu with frown and said in a very low voice: The Lord, be careful of his words.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her expression carefully and knew that she had misunderstood, so he continued: Because you told me the authentic tunnel in Fengxian Palace, I was lucky enough to get rid of it, otherwise how could this be?I think of your kindness and often worry that you are in danger and that I will not be able to repay your kindness; but at that time, I was all in the hands of the pseudo-official army of the deposed prince, and my men could hardly affect the Jiangbei region, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Gaoxu explained, Ma Enhui's face turned redder.She was quite generous just now, but at this moment she buried her head and said nothing, as if there was a hole in the ground and wanted to get in.
