Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 203 Wang Duo Enters Beijing
Zhu Yousong moved his teacher to Beijing, and the capital was a sensation. Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, received Zhu Yousong's edict from Huai'an a few days in advance. Only then did he know that this kung fu emperor changed his makeup and did another earth-shattering feat What a big deal, the domineering uncle Dongping Liu Zeqing is finished just like this?

Gao Hongtu couldn't believe it. As the emperor, Zhu Yousong personally went to Longtan and Tiger's Cave to execute the beheading plan, and he succeeded. The tens of thousands of Huai'an soldiers who have always been lawless are now completely loyal to His Majesty and Daming. Now the four towns The generals were baptized once, and hundreds of thousands of troops, from the marquis general to the small soldiers, all dared not disobey the emperor's order.

This incident quickly spread among the officials. On the day when Zhu Yousong moved to Beijing, Gao Hongtu took a bath and changed his clothes, and led the six departments, nine ministers, thirteen departments and other senior officials out of the city to meet him.Ordinary people also rushed to the streets spontaneously, and the streets of Nanjing were empty.At this time, there were still many candidates from the Beijing Normal University who were going to the capital to catch up with the exams, including literary and martial arts exams, and they all rushed to the streets, wanting to see the true face of this legendary emperor.

In just a few days, Dongping Bo Liu Zeqing was destroyed, Zhu Yousong's beheading action has been spread, and the spread has been miraculous. Now the entire Nanming Empire knows and wants to see the true dragon demeanor of this kung fu emperor.

The entire Jingshuipo Street in Nanjing City, the loess padded road, on the street leading to the imperial city from the East Gate, is full of court guards in brocade clothes to ensure the smooth flow of the streets. This is naturally arranged by the current boss of Jinwei Zu Hai. A large area of ​​scarlet carpet was also laid on the gate. The second eunuch Li Guofu, at the behest of the Golden Queen, placed Zhu Yousong's favorite exotic flowers and plants on both sides of the city gate. The most admired flowers and trees when viewing flowers.

When Zhu Yousong's courtier appeared outside the east gate of Nanjing, Li Guofu ordered people to fire a [-]-gun salute, shaking Xiaohan.

Zhu Yousong was sitting on the lamp of the Happy Horse Thousand Miles, looking at the welcoming crowd like mountains and seas. Although this was not the first time, Zhu Yousong was still very excited at this time, waving frequently to both sides.

At this time, the officials headed by Gao Hongtu knelt on both sides of the official road outside the city.

Zhu Yousong got off his horse and let all the ministers be flat.The heavily made-up, well-mannered Golden Empress and her maid, Chan'er, surrounded by maids and eunuchs, also came to welcome the holy driver. Zhu Yousong pulled up the Golden Empress who was about to kneel, and in front of all the officials and the empress, Zhu Yousong Call the He family father and son over to introduce and recommend, and praise the inexhaustible contribution of the Green Willow Villa to save He this time.

All the officials cast admiring and admiring glances at the father and daughter. Empress Jin and Chan'er knew that there was another woman beside the emperor. Fortunately, the two of them were not jealous. Even if they were, they had to change it. Women are just and righteous, so there are 72 concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards of the emperors of all dynasties, also known as the three thousand beauties in the harem. In contrast, Zhu Yousong is already an ascetic.

That night, Chan'er, the servant, waited for Zhu Yousong to sleep with the Empress Jin, expressing the pain of parting for more than ten days in various ways, and playing Yan Shuangfei was just a way for their monarchs and ministers to reunite happily after a long separation.

The next day, Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of War, handed over the papers and asked His Majesty to see him. He was not in the capital for more than ten days, and all important affairs of state affairs fell on the cabinet.Since it was not the day of the Great Dynasty, the purpose of Xitai was passed on.

Gao Hongtu came in to kowtow, Zhu Yousong made him flattened, seeing how old he was, Ling Changsuan eunuch got him a grand chair for him to sit on.

After Gao Hongtu thanked him for his gratitude, Zhu Yousong heard that it was the main hall of the imperial examination examination, which had been repaired, because the previous imperial examinations and palace examinations were held in Beijing, and now the northern capital has fallen, and the southern capital was originally the accompanying capital. Institutions and buildings in the southern capital are basically the same as those in the northern capital, but before the Jiashen Revolution, the center of the imperial court was in the northern capital, and many institutions in the southern capital overlapped, and the buildings were left in disrepair all year round.

Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing, and Nandu became the center of the imperial court again. Although some buildings were repaired urgently, the imperial city was too big and there were many buildings. Since Song decided to open a course in Nanjing to obtain a scholar, the issue of the examination venue for the candidates was put on the agenda, so the candidates should not be allowed to take the test in the open air.

So the Ministry of Rites selected a main hall, asked the Ministry of Industry to take the lead in speeding up the renovation, and gave a timetable. The renovation work was completed a few days ago, but the gold-lettered signboard above the entrance of the newly completed main hall needs to be re-inscribed and unveiled. Don't look at it as a signboard. But it is a major matter of the country, no one dares to decide without authorization, the Ministry of Industry asked the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites pushed it to the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy handed it over to the cabinet, Gao Ge had no choice but to accept the book, just at this time Zhu Yousong came to Beijing triumphantly, Only then did I beg Long Yi to come.

Zhu Yousong nodded, and it was a small matter to unveil the inscription for the hall, Zhu Yousong knew it well.

Gao Hongtu then proceeded to play the second thing. Wang Duo, a scholar of the Dongge University in the late emperor's time, has come to Beijing, and now he is waiting for the order in the posthouse.

Zhu Yousong is no stranger to this name, and the knowledge of later generations combined with the memory of this body, he immediately realized that he has another pillar of the country.

Wang Duo, courtesy name Juesi, was born in Mengjin, Henan.A famous calligrapher and painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. His calligraphy is comparable to that of Wang Xizhi, and his reputation is greater than that of Huang Daozhou. He is known as the magic brush Wang Duo. Work in poetry.In short, this is a scholar who has a profound influence on future generations.

This Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi was admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a scholar, and was promoted to the Minister of Rites.In the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643), Wang Duo was a bachelor of Dongge University.But at the beginning of this year, due to major changes in his family, Wang Duo asked to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives. The 52-year-old Wang Duo finished dealing with the family's misfortunes in a few months. The remaining half of the southeastern part of the country.

The old lord passed away, and the new lord ascended the throne in Nanjing. Wang Duo has been at home for the past few months, and his ears have long been filled with the deeds of this wonderful Kung Fu emperor. This time he came to Beijing with a heart of serving the country and serving the people. , come here especially.

Zhu Yousong was very happy to see him immediately.

When Wang Duo, who was dressed in commoner clothes and had a clear face, appeared in Zhu Yousong's sight, Zhu Yousong found that the man had a medium-to-slender figure, and his waist was slightly bent, but his eyes were piercing. Yousong ordered him to be flattened, and the monarchs and ministers first exchanged views on the country's political leaders. Wang Duo is indeed a man of knowledge and insight. The person in the room nodded frequently with satisfaction, and said on the spot that he would still be in the cabinet, but he was no longer a scholar of Dongge, but a scholar of Jinshendian. This is also a member of the cabinet, and let Lu Jiude and Gao Hongtu be in charge Draft the decree and read it out in front of all the officials in the great dynasty.

Wang Duo was grateful for the emperor's grace, knelt down and kowtowed again, and when Gao Hongtu and Wang Duo gave their speeches, Zhu Yousong had an idea, wouldn't it be appropriate to entrust Wang Duo with the inscription in the hall?
