It was another early morning, and the morning bell of the Forbidden City rang. Zhu Yunxi slowly got up from the bed and walked to the mirror.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and he didn't sleep with any concubines. He just sat blankly in his bedroom, thinking about the past years in his mind. At the same time, he was also thinking about something that suddenly became strange.
in the future.
Yes, he is the emperor from now on. But everything in the future seems to be out of his control, becoming extremely strange and even profound. He doesn't know whether this feeling is because of the fear of the unknown, or because there is no one behind him.
He became frightened after seeing the old man.
Looking in the mirror, a thick stubble appeared on his chin, and his youthful face in the early years had now become resolute and rough. He also saw in his own eyes in the mirror, the majestic indifference and suspicion of an emperor.
.
But, there was no joy.
Yes, when a person suddenly gets something, it takes time to transform the inner fear into joy. Moreover, at this moment, Zhu Yunxi also felt that there was an invisible pressure on his shoulders.
The old man said, "I'll leave this property to you!"
This property is the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, billions of people, the prosperity of the sun and the moon, the splendor of heaven and earth. It is the eternal song in the universe, the Han Dynasty has been swaying for thirty thousand miles, and the blood and fire of the Han family for thousands of years.
"I want to be a good emperor! I must!"
Zhu Yunxi touched his face and thought to himself.
"I want this great Ming Dynasty, where no more people will be hungry!"
"I want this great Ming Dynasty, and there will be no more party strife and internal strife!"
"I want this Ming Dynasty to have no more tragic songs."
"I want this Ming Dynasty to be sung by future generations."
"Our civilization will no longer be destroyed by barbarism. Our civilization will spread to all directions. Our civilization will always stand!"
"Our descendants will no longer wander between the supreme glory of our ancestors and the humiliation of modern times."
"Our descendants will be proud of us!"
Thinking of these, Zhu Yunxi's eyes in the mirror were full of perseverance and strength.

"Quick! Long live the Lord, get up!"
Behind him, Wang Shai's somewhat panicked voice suddenly came from behind.
After serving Zhu Yunxi for so many years, this was the first time. His panic came from the fact that Rang's master was now the master of the empire. Although the emperor's grandson and the emperor were inherited, their meanings were completely different.
.Because Zhu Yunxi is already the emperor.
"Long live my lord, my servants will help you change your clothes and freshen up!"
Wang Shai knelt in front of Zhu Yunxi, burying his head deeply, as if he was prostrate to the ground. Behind him, the long team of palace servants and eunuchs did the same.
Zhu Yunxi took a look and found that the number of people serving him now was more than double that of before.
"Isn't it just to wash your face and change your clothes? Why are so many people needed?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Let's do the same as usual!"
"I don't dare!" Wang Shai kowtowed.
"It's over, it's over. The same people are still waiting for me... I'll change my clothes and wash up!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand impatiently, and then smiled, "If it makes such a big show again, I will change the person!
"
"My slave, comb the emperor's hair!" Wang Shai quickly stood up and took out Zhu Yunxi's special ivory comb from his sleeve.
Afterwards, all the miscellaneous palace attendants in the palace retreated, leaving only those people that Zhu Yunxi usually used.
"Your Majesty, it's time to clean Longgou!"
Another East Palace eunuch, Pu Wuyong, came forward with a cup of hot tea, knelt down and said.
"Just rinse your mouth, why wash Longgou?" Zhu Yunxi couldn't laugh or cry.
Then, he rinsed his mouth with tea and spit into the gilded spittoon. He continued to sit upright and let Wang Shai comb his hair.
Several palace servants were behind, slowly unfolding the dragon robe, and a black gauze crown was carefully held and placed next to the dragon robe.
Zhu Yunxi looked in the mirror and saw the fierce eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon on the dragon robe behind him, and smiled slightly.
"Is there something wrong with Grandpa Huang?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has sent someone to send a message a long time ago!" Wang Sha whispered.
"What did you say?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Wang Sha paused and said, "The Supreme Emperor said that he will not go to the court meetings, and the Emperor will go by himself. He also said that he will not go to the next court meetings, and that the Emperor will go by himself!"
"Not going?" Zhu Yunxi was a little confused.
Although the Zen position was announced at the Ancestral Temple yesterday, it was still very hasty after all. Many things required the old man to personally come forward, so why didn't he go today.
Furthermore, today’s court meeting is so important, old man...
The old man is absolutely letting go and delegating power!
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi understood. The old man was telling himself that everything from now on will be your own, and the emperor will no longer support you.
"What are you going to do today, old man?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask with a smile.
Wang Sha said in a low voice, "I heard from the people sent by Eunuch Pu that the Emperor is going to tidy up the one-third of an acre of the Imperial Garden today. He said that from now on, he will cultivate the land and raise chickens!"
~~~
Boom boom boom!
The old man's big hand kept beating on the door of a wing next to the palace.
He was dressed in cloth clothes, wearing cloth shoes, his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin, and he was dressed in common people's clothes.
Boom!
The old man slapped her hard twice more and shouted in a loud voice, "You eggless old Pu, it's so hard to change your clothes. Can you fucking do it? If you can't, I'll change you!"
"Come, come, my slave is here!"
There was a sound of panic inside, and the door was pushed open with a creak. Pu Bucheng tied his belt and said, "Long live the Lord to calm down, this slave deserves to die!"
"We are no longer Long Live!" The old man said with a straight face.
"Master, calm down!"
The old man looked at Pu Bucheng dissatisfied and muttered, "Hey, you have been following us all these years and have become guilty. You see how much you enjoy, you don't even know how to wear clothes!"
Pu Bucheng found an old farmer's clothes somewhere. Although he was a eunuch, this was the first time he wore such clothes.
Moreover, the old man had vacated this somewhere, so he had to replace it.
"The New Year is over, the festival is over, it's time to get to work!" the old man continued loudly, "among the people, farmers have already been busy in the fields in this situation!" As he said, shaking off the clothes on his body, "
When you start working in the new year, you can’t wear new clothes, you have to wear old ones. Only in this way can God reward you and give you a good year and a good harvest!”
"This slave is stupid and doesn't understand anything!" Pu Bucheng whispered.
"That's right, you were cut into the palace when you were young, and you have never been among the people!" As he said, the old man put the hoe on his shoulder, "Come on, follow us to the fields!"
"Hey!" Pu Bucheng hurriedly agreed, carrying a pole and following the old man's side.
"Hurry up!" the old man urged.
"My slave obeys the order!" Pu Bucheng was old, but he had never used a pole. No matter how hard he tried, the pole just kept swinging around on his shoulders.
"You need to use strength on your waist to carry the carrying pole. Straighten your waist!"
"My slave is standing straight!"
"Come on, mother, you're stooped!"
Next to Yong'an Palace is one-third of an acre of land that the old man originally planted a few years ago.
There was some desolation in front of him. The old man put down his hammer and looked at the desolate land in front of him, with a particularly gentle smile on his face.
"Old man, here we come!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a short distance away with his big finger and said loudly, "Over there, let's make a circle in the afternoon and raise livestock!"
"Over there, leave a few of them to grow vegetables, and let's grow the rest to grow food!"
"All slaves obey the master!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
"Haha!" The old man laughed, spat into the palm of his hand, and walked towards the fields, "A day's plan starts in the morning, a year's plan starts in the spring! Work!"
Dang! Dang!
In the distance, there are two more bells ringing, which is the precursor to the beginning of the court meeting, which means that all the officials will enter the palace and the emperor will ascend to the palace.
Snapped!
The old man used his hoe to smash a small hoe, then crushed the small hoe into pieces with his big hands and stepped on it with his feet.
The bell rang over there, but he didn't even look at it.
