Chapter 23 Rejecting Zhu Di

The Fengtian Hall, the Huagai Hall, and the Jingshen Hall are known as the three halls of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, which are for the emperor to hold major ceremonies, receive foreign envoys and handle government affairs on a daily basis.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen's daily office space were originally located in the East Warm Pavilion of Fengtian Hall. When the Yan army entered the city, Zhu Yunwen burned all the Fengtian Hall with a torch. After Zhu Di ascended the throne and became emperor, he could only temporarily transfer his daily office space to the Huagai Hall behind Fengtian Hall.

When Ma He led Qin Feng to Huagai Hall, Zhu Di was wearing a black gauze-winged crown and wearing a yellow silk embroidered with a dragon and burying his head to deal with the imperial case and submitting a memorial.

"Your Majesty, Qin Feng is here." Ma He bowed and respectfully presented to Bing.

Zhu Di didn't say anything, he didn't raise his head, and just waved his hand slightly to tell him to know.

I just ascended the throne and I need to pay attention to many things, so it is normal to be more busy.

Ma He didn't say much, but just suppressed his voice and whispered to Qin Feng, saying, "Please let Mr. Qin take a moment here."

Then, he turned around and left Huagai Palace.

After Ma He left, only Zhu Di was left in the empty hall, plus a few little eunuchs with no sense of existence. Except for Zhu Di's occasional sound of memorials, the entire hall can be heard.

Qin Feng was extremely bored in the hall and did not dare to move at will. He had to wrap his hands around the corner of his sweatshirt and carefully analyze his next response plan with Zhu Di from various angles and aspects in his mind.

All of these are related to his personal interests, and he is content with his own consideration and cannot be careless at all.

After a long time, Zhu Di's deep voice sounded, bringing back Qin Feng's thoughts to the Pacific Ocean.

"I have arranged dinner and have a chat."

Ma He has informed Qin Feng in advance of this process, and Zhu Di speaks, so Qin Feng will not be unprepared.

Immediately, I smiled slightly, touched my stomach, and said without any leakage: "Then I'll thank Your Majesty. I'm really hungry."

This is not too false.

He had already eaten half full at home, and had to stand in the Huagai Hall for at least half an hour. The food he ate at home had been almost digested.

Soon, dinner was served.

Shredded goose noodles soup, minced pepper mutton, goose meat bbq, mung bean chess noodle.

Although the two simple dishes and one soup are all meaty, they are so shabby that they can no longer be as shabby as the Manchu and Han banquets of the Qing emperors in later generations. Even the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who advocated diligence and frugality and implemented frugality throughout his life, was a little bit terrible.

"Come on, eat." Zhu Di invited.

Qin Feng moved his hands and feet for a while, but he was not polite and sat down.

This meal may be a bit creepy compared to Zhu Di, but for him it is definitely a delicious food on earth.

No matter what, this meal is definitely too much bigger than his aunt who made the fart and ate it into two parts.

As soon as he started to get the chopsticks, Zhu Di took the initiative to raise the topic and said with a smile: "I have met Duke Cao and King Gu. They both praised you very much. After Zhanji came back, he praised you for your bravery and fearlessness in military strokes many times. Now many people in the army are well aware of you."

When others praise you, you must implement humility to the end.

Of course, if others slander you, pride will not make people fall behind.

Zhu Di praised, Qin Feng smiled and said with a little humility: "Your Majesty's destiny is here. Duke Cao and His Highness Gu are clear-headed, righteous, upright, decisive, and take the world as their responsibility. At the critical moment, they can decisively abandon the darkness and turn to the light. The boy can go to the city to travel back and forth. This is just a borrow from His Majesty's emperor's luck."

Zhu Di also listened to several opinions on what Qin Feng did when he entered the city.

If Qin Feng had just crawled into the drainage pipe and sent Zhu Di's letter to Li Jinglong and Zhu Lu, then came out, and Zhu Di would not have summoned Qin Feng in person.

Zhu Di's humility made Zhu Di quite satisfied, but Zhu Di's position was not upright and he liked to be called the destiny of heaven the most. Qin Feng said the destiny of heaven the same, which made Zhu Di even more satisfied.

Zhu Di's smile on his face quickly reached the bottom of his eyes, and even put a piece of mutton minced pepper into Qin Feng's bowl.

Not to mention that Zhu Di is now the emperor, but when he was a vassal king, he was also a nobleman. With Zhu Di's identity, he could pick up food for him personally, which would definitely be a blessing that he would not have been able to cultivate for several lifetimes.

Qin Feng thanked sincerely and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the government must be busy at the beginning of the throne. You must pay more attention to your health. You must not be disordered in your work or rest, and you cannot make up for your diet. You should carefully adjust it. The Ming Dynasty still needs Your Majesty."

Zhu Di raised an army as a vassal king and usurped the throne and planned to rebel. Although it was still impossible to wash away after time, it had to be admitted that it was because of Zhu Di that the Ming Dynasty had the character of the emperor guarding the country and the king dying the country.

Qin Feng's concern made Zhu Di less alienated from Qin Feng.

"I have re-activated the Jinyiwei. I have told Ji Gang to give you a hundred households. You should prepare to take office immediately." Zhu Di said.

Many people have never been able to find a hundred households in their lifetime. Zhu Di arranged for Qin Feng to have a hundred households as soon as he came up. Needless to think that it was because of Qin Feng's contribution to lobbying Li Jinglong.

"The Hundred Houses of Jinyiwei?" Qin Feng was a little stunned.

Although Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and other major Jianwen remnants have been destroyed, there are still many subjects who are dissatisfied with Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne, and are fighting against Zhu Di in their own way.

The Jinyiwei will act as the executioner to destroy the remaining party of Jianwen for a long time in the future.

Whether from the future or from the present, we cannot say that these so-called Jianwen remnants did something wrong.

Fang Xiaoru sacrificed his ten clans to fight Zhu Di to the last moment of his life. He could choose to surrender Zhu Di. With Fang Xiaoru's prestige in the scholars, he could have been able to make a fortune with Zhu Di.

But in this way, there is a lack of a strong scholar.

Zhu Di needed to maintain the long-term stability of the world with his iron-blooded skills, and Fang Xiaoru and others also needed to maintain the backbone of the literati with their passion.

There is no right or wrong, and there is no harmony.

Since it is an endless problem, he has no choice but to solve it.

Since it cannot be solved, the only thing he can do is not involved and will not express his opinions.

"Your Majesty, you are so frightened and afraid that you will let down your Majesty's love. You are just a fool, but you will not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility if you don't have any literary skills." Qin Feng refused.

The Jinyiwei was the personal army of the emperor and was directly led by the emperor. Many people dreamed of Qin Feng's rejection was really something Zhu Di never thought of.

"Then choose the guards of the Beijing Army and take them directly to a hundred households." Zhu Di changed his mouth after a little surprised.

Although the guards of the Beijing Army are very valuable in the army, there is little room for development.

After all, most of the time, the Beijing army mainly guards the capital. When will the capital need to be guarded? No foreign enemies must be attacked?

If foreign enemies have all reached the capital, can the court still be saved?

Besides, from the prophet of his time traveler, if he goes to the capital army, he will never be able to wait for the opportunity to defend the capital in his life.

Since it is a place with little development potential, why should Qin Feng be bound by it?
