Da Ming started to ascend the throne

The maids and eunuchs of the palace, including the eight beauties of Qinhuai, all gathered in the side hall today to have a big meal.

There are a lot fewer people in the palace than before. In order to make the New Year's Eve dinner more atmosphere, Zhu Youjian broke the convention.

He ordered Lao Wang, Ah Qing Ruyan and the princesses to be called to Qianqing Palace, where he and everyone gathered happily.

Zhu Youjian sat at the main seat, the three princesses and Ah Qing Ruyan sat on the left and right of him, four Xiaohua sat beside him, and Wang Chengen sat at the bottom.

It was the first time Sixiahua saw Ruyan, but she could tell from the seat that she was higher than the other four, and the little flowers all looked at the delicate and charming Ruyan with surprised eyes.

Zhu Youjian knew what the little flowers were thinking, so he smiled and said:

"This is your eldest sister, Ruyan. You must live in harmony, and you must not be jealous or jealous. Today, I will honor the five of you as nobles."

Finally got a title, the four little flowers were as happy as four delicate peonies, and hurriedly knelt down to thank:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. We must live in harmony with my sister."

Although Ruyan knelt down to thank her, she wanted to reject the emperor's kindness.

"Ruyan, thank you, Your Majesty Long En, I don't need a title as a concubine, as long as I can serve you by your side!"

"Everyone is flat, don't refuse, I've made up my mind, let's serve dinner!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ruyan didn't dare to refuse anymore, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

Lao Wang, who is loyal to the Ming royal family, would never think of it anyway.

As a royal servant, he was actually able to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the ninth-five-year-old emperor and princesses and concubines, and he felt extremely emotional:

"This should be the best treatment for an eunuch. It seems that our balls are not in vain!"

Chapter 354

As soon as it got dark, there were crackling explosions in the night sky.

Blossoming fireworks illuminate the large square outside Fengtianmen as bright as day.

Many common people and civil and military officials all stepped out of their homes to watch the fireworks.

Both adults and children had surprise smiles on their faces. This kind of scene has not been seen for many years.

Indeed, in the past, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and thought about money all day long, and the mice in the treasury would starve to death.

Where does he have the money to set off fireworks? The fireworks that bloomed this night are worth several hundred taels of silver.

Zhu Youjian stood outside the hall, followed by three princesses and five concubines, and all the beauties looked excited.

"Father, what is the meaning of setting off fireworks in the New Year? This is the first time we have seen such beautiful fireworks when we grow up!"

Wei Xi hugged her father's arm, her head resting on Zhu Youjian's shoulder with a look of happiness.

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand and pinched Wei Xi's little nose and said with a smile:

"This...means the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people."

"Well, yes, I also believe that under the wise leadership of Father Huang, Daming will definitely bloom as beautifully as today's fireworks. At that time, it should be called the prosperous age of Chongzhen!"

"Haha... Father also thinks about the prosperity of Chongzhen..."

The night passed quickly, and Zhu Youjian couldn't sleep in anymore the next day.

All civil and military officials will pay New Year's greetings to him at Fengtianmen Huangji Hall early this morning.

Looking back at the five golden flowers that were still sleeping soundly beside him, Zhu Youjian raised his mouth slightly.

"Hahaha, my body is really good, and I am still invincible in group battles..."

The civil and military officials of the early dynasty congratulated the emperor on the New Year. There were many details and ceremonies, and it took two hours to end.

In the court hall, Zhu Youjian did not hesitate to give each of the officials a red envelope of ten taels of silver.

The boss who grinned Baiguanle's mouth, it's better if the emperor has money, I hope it will be like this every year, and I hope Daming will prosper.

After returning to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian found that Caidie Qiuju's smile was even brighter today.

Zhu Youjian sat down beside the brazier and asked:

"Caidie Qiuju, you are very happy today, did you have a sweet dream last night?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the servant did not have a good dream last night. Just now the princess gave the servant a red envelope, which is a lot of money! Hehe..."

"Oh, I have overlooked this, you go and call Wang Chengen over."

"According to the purpose"

The two little girls didn't know what the emperor meant, so they hurried to find Lao Wang.

Soon Lao Wang came to see Zhu Youjian:

"Slaves see Your Majesty."

"Exemption, flat body, Old Wang, send red envelopes to the palace people for me. It's Chinese New Year, and everyone is 20 taels each, so everyone is happy and festive!"

"According to the purpose"

The old king was about to leave after receiving the decree, but suddenly stopped, and asked mysteriously:

"Your Majesty, are you sure it's 20 taels of silver per person?"

Zhu Youjian was a little dazed when asked by the old king. Could it be that the emperor gave out more money in red envelopes before?Probably not!

"Of course, why? Is it too little, then add..."

Hearing that the emperor wanted to add more, Old Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"A lot, a lot, it's really too much, never more than a tael of silver, and the servants will retire."

Perhaps because he was afraid that the emperor would change his mind, Lao Wang bowed and exited the Qianqing Palace after speaking.

If it was in the past, when he heard that the emperor gave out such a big red envelope, Old Wang would have desperately opposed it.

But now it's different, the gold and silver in the emperor's treasury are piled up into mountains.

After retiring from the court, Li Dingguo held Liu Wenxiu back:

"Third brother, the emperor's kindness is great. Since the emperor values ​​our brothers so much, we can't live up to His Majesty's grace. How about starting to do business today?"
