The Lantern Festival is the most lively festival in the Ming Dynasty, and it is even more popular, but it can be traced back to a longer time.

I don’t know how many Tang poetry and Song lyrics are about the Lantern Festival, and there are countless famous works that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Zhu Xu and the five pavilions from Chang'an Street to the other end, congratulations, rewards, flower boats, and lanterns like fire and dragons, pushing this warm atmosphere to the extreme.

On Chang'an Street, flowers are clustered, singing like thunder, like a sea of ​​lights, bright as daytime, lion dance, juggling, all kinds of shouting, noisy, coming one after another, as hot as boiling.

After a long walk, Zhu Xu, Bi Ziyan and other cabinet ministers came to a restaurant, sat at a table, looking at the fireworks outside, listening to the shouts, they all lost their usual seriousness and tension, and each one was smiling and quite relaxed.

"Come on, raise your glass."

Zhu Xu held the wine glass and said aloud to everyone.

The group of people raised their glasses with a smile and drank with Zhu Xuman.

Although the government is under great pressure, the situation is chaotic, and the court officials have different thoughts, they are all "work". Putting aside these, everyone can still have fun and chatting and laughing.

Zhu Xu was also much more relaxed and said with a smile: "You don't need to be restrained today. You can drink and get drunk. I'm responsible for sending you off."

Bi Ziyan and others were smiling politely, but the guests were having fun.

"Uncle the Emperor..."

Not long after, Xiao Yongning suddenly ran up. Seeing so many people, he saluted very stiffly and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Uncle, aunt, don't come out."

Zhu Xu had already realized it, and sighed in his heart, and he became more and more disgusted with the Ming Dynasty ethics. This is not enough to save a good Lantern Festival.

So many beautiful scenes slipped away in my mind.

"Sit down and have a meal." Zhu Xu said with a quiet smile.

The little girl sat next to Zhu Xu, and in front of outsiders, she still showed off her princess demeanor, but she was not rude.

The people in the cabinet naturally knew that the princess was willful and naughty, but nothing out of the ordinary, so they all smiled and signaled.

This meal was very good during the Lantern Festival in the entire capital. After all, the price control in the capital was excellent, the business was relatively developed, and there were many rich people, and they celebrated each other almost all night, and there were endless streams.

While Zhu Xu and others were having dinner, the Zhang family was now full of joy and decorated with lights.

The Zhang family is all in the inner prisoners, and the palace maids walk around, and Zhang Yun is constantly being dressed up, walking here and there, especially in all aspects of the wedding ceremony, meticulous.

The Zhang family is busy with work, are you tired a little?

"Come back to me and help your sister..." Mrs. Zhang grabbed Zhang Shu who was about to escape and said angrily.

Zhang Shu shook her head and screamed, "Mom, I'm very tired, why is my sister getting married? I'm tired..."

"Come here." Mrs. Zhang pulled Zhang Shu back and scolded her in a low voice.

Zhang Yun stood in the middle of the hall, and a group of palace maids were busy with her, chattering and talking nonstop.

After a while, a consul's palace maid said, "Empress, after saying so much, I guess you didn't remember much. Don't worry, we still have time."

Zhang Yun had a heavy phoenix crown on his head and a big red rosy cape on his body. It was at least a few dozen kilograms in total. He stood there without moving, and said with a chuckling, "It's okay, I remember it all."

Several palace maids looked at each other, and the consul's palace maid hurriedly said, "It's okay, we will lead you away at that time. As long as the empress listens to us, you won't be wrong."

"Okay." Zhang Yun looked at them with a turn, and said with a smile.

The palace maids didn't think Zhang Yun could remember it, and they fiddled with it more and more.

This person was going to live in Kunning Palace, and the master of the central palace did not dare to be careless at all.

Zhu Xu was half drunk outside the palace and took Xiao Yongning back to the palace. He celebrated the Lantern Festival with Empress Dowager Zhang, Li Jieyu and others.

Because Ci Ye kept making trouble, Li Jieyu had to take two little guys to leave the seat first.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was a little drunk, Empress Dowager Zhang said, "I heard that Ryukyu wants to pay tribute to a woman to the palace?"

Although Zhu Xu drank a lot, he was still very sober. He heard this and said, "That's what Ryukyu thinks, but I haven't agreed yet."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your palace is indeed a little deserted. When the queen enters the palace, she will arrange some people to come in. The two I and the concubine are optimistic about will be included as soon as possible. We must not be all barbarians..."

Zhu Xu heard that the Empress Dowager was a little worried and nodded, "I understand."

Queen Mother Zhang glanced at Xiao Yongning, who was still energetic next to her, and looked at Zhu Xu's red face again, and said, "Okay, I won't tell you much. There are still many things to do tomorrow. You should go back and rest early. You should go through Yicheng that should be gone seriously. Don't make any mistakes. You will make a joke when you ascend the throne..."

There was no way to treat Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Xu. After making a serious statement, he left the Cining Palace.

When the cold wind blew, Zhu Xu became much more awake, spit out a sip of alcohol, and said as he walked: "What else is there today?"

Cao Huachun followed behind and said, "There is nothing to do today. There is no new memorial to the cabinet. The emperor can rest early tonight."

Without the memorial, Zhu Xu felt a little uncomfortable. He thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then go back to bed. I don't know how much things are waiting tomorrow."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu returned to Qianqing Palace with a staggering stagger, washed and went to bed.

When Zhu Xu was sleeping, the bustling city of the capital did not decline, but became more and more prosperous.

In the cabinet, the adults of the six ministries all had a day off, banqueting each other, drinking and chatting about the world.

At the same time, officials from all over the country set off almost at the same time and rushed to the capital. Envoys inside and outside the Ming Dynasty also set off and rushed to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In the second year of Jingzheng, January 20th.

This was the first day of the dynasty. Zhu Xu led a minister from the six ministries of the cabinet to watch the flag-raising at Chengtian Gate.

There were gradually more and more people watching, standing in the distance and looking at it.

The solemn and solemn guard of honor, the thick, the sound of passionate drums and pianos and other mixed music were very solemn in front of Chengtian Gate.

Zhu Xu looked stern and lowered his hands. It was the first time that all of you all followed suit. He looked at the guard of honor seriously and watched the national flag slowly rise.

Zhu Xu's mentality was a little complicated. Looking at the slowly rising national flag, his eyes were straight and his heart was surging.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty finally looked a little bit, and from this moment onwards, it was about to enter a new stage.

The other adults had their own thoughts and looked down at the bottom with a calm expression. Yu Guang glanced at Zhu Xu from time to time.

No matter what, His Majesty the Emperor is for the sake of the "Ming Dynasty Revival". Although he does not agree with many of his actions, now he is right. Most of the contributions to the Ming Dynasty's performance are his.

The guard of honor stood under the national flag without moving, standing sternly, with a fluttering and rustling Ming flag above his head.

The people around were a little confused and didn't know how to react. They were very uncomfortable with this scene and felt inexplicably that the emperor and the adults of the court were there, strange and thought that something big was happening.

Zhu Xu and others completely raised the national flag and leaned slightly towards the national flag.

All the adults looked at him, feeling awkward, and they still followed suit and bowed to the national flag.

After a while, Zhu Xu turned around and smiled and said, "From now on, I will come once every ten minutes. I will come, and all the adults will come too."

These are all small things, Bi Ziyan and others didn't care much, so they followed Zhu Xu and followed him down the city tower.

Bi Ziyan was quite happy and followed Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, there are many people coming to Beijing from all over the country, and it is inevitable that there are too many people and troubles. I wonder what arrangements the emperor has?"

Zhu Xu could hear that Bi Ziyan was testing and said directly: "The cabinet has full authority to deal with it, and it is done according to the law and regulations."

Even after hearing Zhu Xu say this, Bi Ziyan was still not relieved. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of instructions are there for the general framework of the 'New Policy'?"

Zhu Xu has seen it, and overall it is in line with his ideas. He said while walking: "The 'New Deal' is an unprecedented process. We must not only be firm and vigorously promote it, but also strictly correct the problems found. We cannot be neglected and can also fool it. We must establish a complete system without leaving any loopholes. In the process of implementing the 'New Deal', we must not only correct the past laws, but also emphasize the irresistibility of the law. Although there are some contradictions, you must clearly distinguish... The reason why our Ming Dynasty has been so chaotic for a hundred years is that too many people have crossed the boundaries and have no constraints, which has led to the monarchy not being a ruler, the ministers not being a minister, the inner and outer courts being confused, the court's outstripping, the borders are in decline, and the people are not living in poverty..."

Bi Ziyan and a group of people following Zhu Xu changed their expressions slightly and did not respond.

Everyone knew that the man in front of him was deeply disgusted by the party struggles and was full of anger at the corruption of the Chaotong period. He followed behind him silently, and did not dare to talk to him.

Zhu Xu didn't care whether these people could understand the subtext in his words, and continued: "The Governor's Court, the Criminal Prison Department, the Dali Temple, etc., must show the courage to take responsibility. In the past, people were misleading, and they were shirked from each other, and they were like each other. I don't want to see it. I know that some people are not afraid of being dismissed from office or death, and are upright and upright to resist the "New Policy". Whenever they encounter it, they will be dismissed from office and never use it! For both ends of snakes and rats, they are swayed and unable to do things, they must be eliminated. My Ming Dynasty has the most no shortage of people who are officials..."

Zhu Xu said similar things in the past, but what he said today has a different meaning, that is, it is time to take it seriously.

A group of cabinets, the adults from the six ministries couldn't help but look at each other. They felt as if a hurricane blew past their faces, then left the palace, out of the capital, swept across the east, west, south and north of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu led the people to the cabinet and said, "I will stay in the cabinet for one day today, and I won't go tomorrow. I'm so busy with this wedding that I'm dizzy. You should take more responsibility for the next thing. When I've been busy for a while, all the things can be promoted..."

"Yes." Bi Ziyan raised his hand and said, "The emperor's wedding is a major event, and the cabinet will do its best. The emperor can rest assured that I will handle the government affairs during this period."

A big marriage is both an adult and an emperor’s rule. Although many people have forgotten this, this matter still needs to be done well.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "Adults and envoys from all over the country must come to Beijing. The cabinet will be entertained with good health. Try not to cause trouble..."
