"Fairy water?"

"Can you hiccup?"

Hearing Emperor Shenwu say that what they just drank was fairy water, the chief minister and several cabinet ministers looked at their Emperor Shenwu in shock. They didn't know why they burped?

Hong Chengchou, who had always been relatively humble in front of outsiders, suddenly felt a gas rising from his body, but he did not dare to open his mouth for fear of damaging his image!

But how could he control hiccups? Even though his face was red from suppressing it, he still couldn't help but open his mouth and burp:

"belch……"

In front of Emperor Shenwu, Hong Chengchou actually opened his mouth and burped. Hong Chengchou felt not only disgraceful but also indecorous!

When Li Banghua and others heard Hong Chengchou burping, their eyes immediately looked at Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou's face turned red and he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Hiccup..."

Suddenly Li Banghua, Meng Zhaoxiang, Cheng Guoxiang, Jiang Fengyuan, and Feng Ying couldn't help opening their mouths and started burping...

The civil servant who always prided himself on being a noble person valued his face more than his life. He never thought that he would be so unbecoming in front of Emperor Shenwu today.

Several Ming cabinet ministers suddenly looked embarrassed and hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"I have lost my decency. Your Majesty, please punish me..."

It's normal to burp after drinking Sprite, especially when you drink half a cup in one gulp. Li Banghua and the others don't know the reason, but Zhu Cixiang certainly knows it.

Seeing several cabinet ministers bowing to apologize in embarrassment, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:

"It's normal to burp after drinking fairy water. How can I blame you? Just drink more slowly next time and get better quickly!"

When they heard this, they suddenly realized that they had to control their hiccups. It turned out that the magic water was responsible for the trouble, and they hurriedly thanked them:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing several people sitting down, Zhu Cixiang took out another bottle of Sprite and said with a smile:

"Would you like to try it again?"

When several old men saw that Emperor Shenwu wanted them to drink fairy water, they hurriedly waved their hands:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't dare to drink anymore..."

The fairy water tastes really good, and there is no problem in drinking it slowly when you return home, but they really don't dare to burp in front of Emperor Shenwu.

"Since you adults won't drink, I'll reward you..."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and gave the Sprite to the young eunuch Hu Bao. Hu Bao bowed and took the Sprite, and immediately beamed with excitement and hurriedly thanked him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After handing Sprite to Hu Bao, Zhu Cixiang started to get into the theme:

"My dear friends, starting from April 1st, I will personally conquer Liaodong with my imperial commander. Domestic political affairs will be temporarily handed over to the cabinet. The chief minister of the cabinet will take the lead. Several cabinet ministers must give their full support and cooperation. Remember not to change any of the strategies I have set.

…”

The matter of Zhu Cihong's personal conquest had not yet been discussed with the cabinet. When they heard that Emperor Shenwu wanted to personally conduct the conquest, several senior ministers in the cabinet were shocked and stood up and knelt down to persuade them:

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is now very powerful under your training. Just let Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting lead the army to regain Liaodong. Your Majesty must not lead the army to conquer Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty has just started to improve under your rule. I must not let the Holy Emperor take risks.

…”

None of the ministers in the cabinet supported Zhu Cihong's personal expedition, and two old men hugged Zhu Cihong's thighs tightly, making Zhu Cihong dumbfounded.

It has to be said that being an emperor is really not as fun as being a crown prince. There must be a good reason for the cabinet to prevent Emperor Shenwu from going on a personal expedition, that is, they are worried about another Tumu Fort incident.

Emperor Shenwu was like this, who was constantly fighting abroad. Think about how difficult it was for other emperors to leave the palace, let alone go out of the city or even go on a military expedition in person.

Zhu Cixiang looked down at Jiang Fengyuan and Meng Zhaoxiang who were hugging his legs and said with a smile:

"Two adults, there are more than twenty days until April 1st. What are you doing holding my thigh now? Let go!"

"His Majesty……"

Only then did Jiang Fengyuan and Meng Zhaoxiang let go of Emperor Shenwu, and Zhu Cixiang stretched out his hand to pull them up:

"I know what you are worried about. Just keep it in your heart. I am the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Xing. Even if I lie on the ground and let Jian Nu chop me down, they can't chop me to death. Well, I have made up my mind. You don't have to suffer. I urge you to step back!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

These old men really had no choice but to resign because they had nothing to do with the little emperor!

Those few people had just exited Qianqing Palace when Erxi came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived!"

Zhu Cixiang said hurriedly:

"Please!"

"According to the order!"

Erxi accepted the order and immediately turned around and went out.

After a moment, Emperor Chongzhen walked into the Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he looked at the layout of the Qianqing Palace. He thought that Zhu Cixiang would definitely make the Qianqing Palace a mess.

But after looking at it for a long time, I found that Zhu Cixiang had not changed anything, but only hung a map of the Ming Dynasty on the wall of the main hall.

Chongzhen walked to the map and looked at it carefully. He was surprised to find that the map was much larger than before, even larger than when Emperor Chengzu was in his heyday.

Not only was the entire territory of Liaodong included in the Ming Dynasty's territory, but Korea, Annan, Myanmar, Southeast Asian countries, Japan, the entire territory of Mongolia, Xinjiang, Uszang, etc. were all included in this Ming Dynasty territory.

The little heart of Emperor Chongzhen suddenly began to beat wildly. They couldn't even keep the territory given to them by their elder brother. Zhu Cixiang was so ambitious, so arrogant!

"I've met my father!"

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was thinking a lot, Emperor Shenwu Zhu Cixi came forward to pay his respects.

Chongzhen looked back at the current Emperor Shenwu and said:

"Your Majesty is exempt from the gift. I heard that you are preparing to lead a military expedition in person?"

"Yes, Father, please sit down and let's talk slowly if you have anything to say!"

Zhu Cixiang pulled Chongzhen to sit down, and Hu Baoerxi immediately brought him snacks and made him a cup of excellent tea:

"Your Majesty, please have some tea!"

Chongzhen nodded, waved to Hu Bao and others and said:

"You all stand down!"

"Here!"

Hu Bao knew that the Supreme Emperor wanted to talk to him about something important, and he didn't want slaves like them to hear it, so he hurriedly dismissed all the maids and eunuchs in the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Cixiang was a little confused by Emperor Chongzhen's operation. He didn't know what important matters Chongzhen had, but he actually drove away Hu Baoerxi and the others.

"Father, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it. I will try my best to satisfy you as much as possible!"

Chongzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly put down the teacup and whispered:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty, my father has a merciless request. Regardless of whether you agree or not, please do not reveal the content of today's conversation between you and my father!"

Chongzhen hesitated a little when he spoke, and his face turned red.

Zhu Cixiang nodded hurriedly:

"Father, please tell me directly. Your Majesty will not let anyone know what happened today!"

Chongzhen seemed a little embarrassed and had no confidence at all when speaking. This was a scene Zhu Cixiang had never seen before.

"Your Majesty, my father knows that you are about to go on an expedition to Liaodong. If Liaodong is restored, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably enter a prosperous age. My father is very bored after he abdicates. I hope that my emperor can take his father with him when he goes to war..."

Zhu Cixiang never thought that the Supreme Emperor would follow him on the expedition. He was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat and shouted hurriedly:

"Father, what are you saying? You must not do it. Fighting is not a good thing. People will die if you play with it. Please give up this idea, Father!"

What an international joke, Chongzhen never left the capital when he was emperor, and now that he is retired, he still wants to go to the battlefield.

The journey from the capital to Liaodong was so long, whether it was riding a horse or a carriage, it was very painful. It was not as exciting as fishing and playing mahjong in the palace. Zhu Cixiang was speechless!

After hearing this, Chongzhen stood up from his seat, stared at Zhu Cixiang closely and said:

"No, you must bring your father with you when you are on your own expedition. My father has never left the capital in his life. The last time he went to Henan was the only time he traveled far in his life.

In such a major historical event as the liberation of Liaodong, my father must participate in it. Even if he serves as a leading soldier for the frontline soldiers, he can still be considered as my father's contribution to the liberation of Liaodong.

My father is now in good health and can mount his sword to kill the enemy. My father is not afraid of death. If he can be like Emperor Chengzu and die for the Ming Dynasty and finally die on the way to victory, my father will have no regrets..."

The more Chongzhen talked, the more excited he became. When he finally spoke, he shouted loudly to Zhu Cixiang that he must follow Zhu Cixiang to conquer Liaodong, otherwise he would die in peace.

Zhu Cixiang watched the performance of Emperor Chongzhen speechlessly. He did not understand why his father was so stubborn at first. When he heard it, Zhu Cixiang suddenly felt relieved, and the speechlessness on his face was replaced by a smile.

Good guy, Emperor Chongzhen wants to take a piece of the pie to regain Liaodong. He wants to leave his name in the history of regaining Liaodong, even if he dies in battle.

Zhu Cihong knew that his father was not afraid of death, otherwise he would not have defeated the capital city. Emperor Chongzhen resolutely hung himself on the southeastern branch of Meishan.

If he could contribute even a small amount to the Ming Dynasty's restoration of Liaodong, then at least some of the bad reputation he had during his reign could be restored after the merits and demerits were balanced.

Chongzhen wanted to save face and would not speak directly to Emperor Shenwu, but Zhu Cixiang had already realized his father's true intention, so how could he ignore it.
