Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Page 763



Hearing that the uncle said that he would send his son to serve in the army, several middle-aged men standing beside Qiao Hong wanted to send their son to serve in the army.

Qiao Hong took out a notebook and carefully wrote down the words of the uncles in the notebook. As a reporter for the Daming Daily, Qiao Hong certainly knew that Daming was recruiting soldiers every year.

She is going to step up the promotion of recruitment and try to get more young people to join the army to serve the country. This is what the official media of Ming Dynasty should do.

After interviewing a few more girls, Qiao Hong left the crowd. She wanted to interview some soldiers, preferably the general.

Interviews with military soldiers are sometimes rejected, and they cannot even enter the barracks.

When the imperial court generally issues announcements, there will be special personnel to send the manuscripts to the Daming Newspaper, and generally they will not accept interviews.

Qiao Hong was going to find an opportunity to sneak into the team, and quietly interviewed a few soldiers who had just returned from overseas.

Listening to their experiences of fighting overseas, she believes that ordinary people like to read such newspapers.

The triumphant return of the army and Zhu Cihong's return to the capital is a great joyous event for the officials, and under normal circumstances a large banquet should be held to celebrate.

After the army entered the city, the soldiers returned to the barracks to rest, and the generals rushed home as soon as possible to reunite with their families.

Especially a group of young generals, who haven't touched women for so long, can't control it long ago.

After entering the imperial city, the officials gathered around Zhu Cihong for a long time, unwilling to leave. They all wanted to hear what the prince had gone through and the process of the overseas campaign.

As the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, Sun Chuanting was going to apply to Zhu Cihong for a banquet to celebrate his achievements, and by the way, he would clean up the dust for the prince.

Seeing that the officials were not far away, Zhu Cihong knew what they were thinking, but he didn't want to show off his experience with King Ding, so he waved to the officials:

"My lords take care of everything and work very hard. It's getting late now, everyone, please go back!"

Sun Chuanting stepped forward and cupped his hands and said:

"His Royal Highness has returned, and the overseas war has won a great victory. We should hold a banquet to welcome His Highness to celebrate the overseas victory and triumph."

Zhu Youjian could understand the mood of the officials. When he entered the imperial city, he thought of his mother, and he was really not in the mood to celebrate. Besides, his father hadn't come back yet, so why did they celebrate.

Now that the chief minister of the cabinet opened his mouth, Zhu Cihong couldn't just refuse, he smiled slightly and said:

"My lord, I can understand your feelings. Let's celebrate together after the emperor's triumphant return! What do you think, Master Sun?"

After Zhu Cihong said that, what else could Sun Chuanting say, and he said goodbye immediately:

"Okay then, just follow His Highness' instructions, wait for the Holy Majesty to come back and celebrate together, and the minister will retire."

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he waved to the officials:

"Colleagues, His Highness said, we will celebrate together when the Holy Majesty returns triumphantly, everyone please go back!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

A group of civil and military ministers, led by Sun Chuanting, quickly disappeared beside Zhu Cihong.

After seeing the officials leaving, only the three princesses and the old eunuch Wang Cheng'en remained beside Zhu Cihong, so he fell silent.

Zhu Cilang called Princess Kunxing:

"The three imperial sisters, let's go for a walk with the emperor. The emperor is going to the East Palace first. After leaving for so long, the East Palace is probably very dilapidated.

Kunxing stepped forward and took Zhu Cihong's arm and began to act like a baby:

"Don't worry, brother, the Crown Prince's East Palace is cleaned and tidied up every day. What you looked like when you left is like this now. My sister wants you to accompany the three of us to have a meal together."

Chapter 625 The East Palace

Chapter 625 East Palace

Since the younger sister wanted to have dinner with her elder brother, Zhu Cihong would certainly not refuse.

But he still wants to go to the East Palace first:

"Okay, the emperor will accompany the three imperial sisters to have a meal in a while. Before the meal, the emperor still wants to go back to the palace to have a look. Look at the emperor..."

"Okay, let's accompany the emperor to the East Palace."

Before Zhu Cihong finished speaking, Princess Kunxing understood what the eldest brother meant, and immediately agreed.

The prince lived with his mother when he was a child, and the prince still lives in the palace when he grows up.

The other princes did not have the treatment of the prince, they had to move out of the palace and live in the palace outside.

The East Palace mentioned by Zhu Cihong is the Duanmu Palace, which is located in the Donghua Gate in the east of the Forbidden City, and it can also be called the Spring Palace.

The four of them went directly to Duanmu Palace. The eunuch guarding the palace gate saw the princess coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down:

"See Her Royal Highness."

Kunxing looked at Zhu Cihong beside him and said to the eunuch:

"This is His Royal Highness, my brother, the Crown Prince. Hurry up and pay your respects to the Crown Prince."

The eunuch was taken aback at the time, but quickly realized, and hastily kowtowed to Zhu Cihong again:

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

Zhu Cilang waved his hand:

"No gift, flat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing this, some readers may ask:

"No way! The eunuch who guards the gate of the East Palace doesn't know the prince? How is this possible!"

In fact, not only did the guard eunuch not know Zhu Cihong, but none of the maids inside had ever seen Zhu Cihong, only the eunuch in charge knew him.

The former eunuchs and maids were all kicked out of the palace by Emperor Chongzhen when the capital was about to be breached.

Now these court ladies and eunuchs are all newcomers, so no one knows Zhu Cihong.

As the emperor's servant, no matter the eunuch or the court lady, no one dared to ask where the prince was.

They only need to clean up the palace every day.

It will be two years since he entered the palace, and the prince has never appeared.

The princess will often come to the palace to check, and take a look at the relics left by her brother (I haven't seen the prince for so long, I thought Zhu Cihong was not alive)
