Hou Xuanyan returned to Suzhou and brought only a thousand personal guards who came. Li Rutai was killed in front of Yangzhou. The court rewarded him with no reward. Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian was smiling and gave Wuxiang to foreign countries. Li Haoxian and Zhu Dadian were all given the title of Earl, but they were hereditary.

Recently, this period has been the happiest time in Zhu Youjian's life. His life has been bumpy, suffered many hardships, and finally endured the spring.

He was born as a vassal king, and because he was not liked by his grandfather, he spent most of his life in imprisonment.

This has sharpened his character, but also limited his vision. He was detained by his grandfather in the Tang Palace and by Chongzhen in Fengyang. In his great years, he could only stay in the courtyard and watch the sky.

In the Forbidden City in Nanjing, in the Nuanfang Pavilion, Zhu Youjian splashed his brush and wrote an imperial edict for Hou Xuanyan.

Wang Xiangnian lowered his hands, stood aside with a smile, and said with a gaze: "Your Majesty, your calligraphy skills are increasing day by day. If I don't understand calligraphy, I feel very imposing."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "People feel refreshed when they are happy, and they have been getting good news recently. When I write, I feel that my wrist strength is much stronger."

Wang Xiangnian naturally knew the emperor's thoughts. Seeing that the emperor who had been suffering had finally been waiting for a good day, his eyes turned red and said with a smile: "This is all God bless Your Majesty. The late emperors of all generations have protected our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youjian gently put down his pen and ordered the eunuch to go to Suzhou to issue an order, and then said, "Since I left the cage of Fuzhou, relying on the powerful brigade of the Duke of Yue, and the civil servants of the Qing Dynasty, and the civil and military officials of the court, why worry about the great rule of the world? It will only take a moment or later to restore the Central Plains and recover the Shenjing."

At this moment, a little eunuch outside the hall shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen Zilong, Minister of Personnel, asked for a visit."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "I'm just talking about him, he's here. Come in quickly."

After Chen Zilong entered the palace, Zhu Youjian treated him very well and specifically asked him to bring a chair to give him a seat. After Chen Zilong sat down, he said, "Your Majesty, I will not be able to congratulate you on this time."

Zhu Youjian twisted his beard and smiled, saying, "The Chen Qing family is intent. The battle in Xiaotongshan, Yangzhou is indeed a great joy. I have just prepared an imperial edict to commend Duke Yue and two generals under him."

Chen Zilong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Yangzhou will lose first and then win, at best, but it is a matter of merit and demerit. What is there to be rewarded? If you give your kindness easily, you are afraid that the generals will gradually become arrogant and will not obey the imperial court's dispatch. There is Zuo Liangyu in front and four towns in Jiangbei behind, which will cause disaster, which is no less than that of the Qing Dynasty. Please think twice."

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he was displeased at first, and then he thought that if Hou Xuanyan and Chen Zilong were too close to each other, it would be a force that threatened the imperial power. Since they had conflicts themselves, they could establish royal authority by themselves.

When Zhu Youjian thought of this, he did not reply and smiled and said, "What I mean by my dear, is it that our Ming Dynasty is coming?"

Chen Zilong stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi, the head of the literary world of the Ming Dynasty, has fled back from the north. Qian Gong was trapped in the enemy camp, and he could not forget the Ming Dynasty and risk his life to escape from the Shenjing. This shows his loyalty. Qian Gong has a reputation in Jiangnan for a while. I think Your Majesty should use him quickly, and one can relieve the hearts of the scholars in Jiangnan, and another, it will also add a pillar to the court."

No matter how well Zhu Youjian was in good condition, he couldn't help it. He threw away all the thoughts of weighing and other things. His face gradually turned ashen, and Chen Zilong was still talking nonsense. Zhu Youjian slapped the table and said angrily: "Qian Qianyi's traitor who was against the country and Xiancheng. I have to kill him because I am a mercy outside the law. Do you still have to use him more?"

When ordinary ministers were furious when they saw Long Yan, they were so scared that they knelt down and beg for mercy. But Chen Zilong was not an ordinary minister. He was from the Donglin Party with a good root. These old Donglins all have one thing in common, that is, they are quarreled with emperors with good tempers and never cowardly. All their strong wills are used to bluntly speak out.

He stubbornly said with a righteous look on his face, "Your Majesty has heard the words of the saint: the Master's way is loyal and forgiveness. Now that the country is in trouble, if Your Majesty only cares about clearing old accounts and does not have a heart of kindness and forgiveness at all, then the people in the Central Plains will have more than tens of millions of people. Will they all beheaded in the future?"

Wang Xiangnian saw the emperor's face turned red with anger and said intimately, "I'm afraid that it's not a matter of repeating Su Guansheng's almost angering the emperor. He hurriedly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Chen, Your Majesty has always been generous, but it depends on what he is dealing with. Those people are unarmed and have never eaten the king's fortune, and they have to take out food to support officials. We have failed to protect them, so how can we kill the heads of those little people? Qian Qianyi opened the city and surrendered himself. We have heard that he knelt in the heavy rain outside the city gate and welcomed Duoduo into Nanjing City. If you don't need such a person, you will become unkind and unforgivable? We think your words are unfair."

Chen Zilong was furious. They hated eunuchs the most because Wei Zhongxian was the eternal pain in their hearts. When they heard that eunuchs were interfering in politics, they were even more angry than before. He dared not scold the emperor, but dared to scold eunuchs. Chen Zilong glared and cursed, "Okay, the legacy of the eunuch party Wei Zhongxian has not been cleared yet, and another Wang Zhongxian came out. I think the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later be destroyed in the hands of you people who are neither yin nor yang, half yin and half yang."

Although Chen Zilong hated Wang Xiangnian for being too verbally speaking, he could not find any words to refute him, so he had to attack others' physiological defects.

Wang Xiangnian was embarrassed and angry. After hearing Wang Xiangnian's words, Zhu Youjian, who had just soothed, couldn't help but become even more angry when he saw him so rude.

Zhu Youjian held up, his eyes shone with golden light, shook his head and cursed: "Get out! Get out of here!"

When he was in Fuzhou, the imperial doctor warned him not to get angry anymore. He didn't want to argue with Chen Zilong anymore. After all, his health was important, but Chen Zilong was an old party member. The Donglin Party was never afraid and had to continue fighting.

Wang Xiangnian shouted the guard in at the top of his voice, and then carried him out.

Chen Zilong struggled while cursing: "Eunuch thief! Eunuch thief who is in trouble with the country!"

As the scolding became farther and farther away, Zhu Youjian collapsed weakly on the dragon throne. In the early morning, the dream of civil and military personnel assisted him in achieving the great achievements of Emperor Taizu Gao was gradually shattered.

"I am incompetent and have caused this great humiliation to my great companion."

When Wang Xiangnian heard this, he was overwhelmed and cried, saying, "Your Majesty has ruined the old slave. It doesn't matter if these people insult the old slave. They are so angry that they should be cut into pieces."
