"Okay, I won't say much. After today's court meeting, the army will be given three days off. Soldiers can go out to play and watch the fun, but they must be staged and batched, and they cannot disturb the people. In addition, each soldier will be rewarded with two taels of silver and five taels of silver for officers. The silver is not much. Just think of my dedication. It's the New Year, so I'll have fun." Zhu Youlang waved his hand and ended his New Year's greetings.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial." Zhu Youlang was about to walk down the steps when he saw Ma Bao step out.

"Come on."

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, can I drink wine?"

"Yes, but you are not allowed to get drunk. This way, you can't be too hindered. In order to prevent drunken trouble, every five people will be given a pound of wine, so that it will not only satisfy your cravings, but also not overdose. As for you officials, who are in Guilin, who are not in Guilin, tomorrow evening, I will set up a few tables in the palace to stay with me for the New Year, how about it?" Zhu Youlang replied with a brief thought.

"Your Majesty's wise!" Ma Bao said loudly.

Li Dingguo, Li Yuanyin, Bai Gui and others all laughed softly. Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Bai Gui went out and joked: "Ma Hu Bo, you haven't had enough time with you in Wushishan. How about fighting for wine tomorrow?"

Ma Baoniu glared at the eye: "Little Stick, don't be crazy, I'll let you see what a massive amount is tomorrow!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone was amused by these two living treasures, and even Zhu Youlang, who was the Supreme Master of Nine Five, laughed out loud without any image.

...

On New Year's Eve, the palace was brightly lit and bright as daytime.

There were three tables in the main hall, Zhu Youlang and one table, on the left were civil officials, Lu Daqi, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zizhuang, He Tengjiao, Wang Huacheng, Gu Yanwu, and Li Yong naturally at this table; on the right were military generals, Chen Jitai, Li Dingguo, Ma Bao, Li Chengyin, Jiao Lian, Li Guo, Bai Gui, and Bai Wenxuan at this table.

Four more tables were placed in the yard, led by Ma Jinzhong, Feng Shuangli, Wang Sheng and Duan Xing, such as Zhang Tongchang, Cai Renxiong, Yang Yuan, Li Zifang, Shi Fengxiang, Liu Wenji, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, etc., all of them were here. Except for Annan Bo Yang Changjiang who was filial and was not suitable for attending, basically all the well-known officials came.

In addition, a table was also set up in the back hall, led by Dai Yilan, Wang Huacheng, Jiao Lian and Bai Gui's wife were accompanying each other diligently.

Seeing that everyone was here, Zhu Youlang nodded at Li Hong, and Li Hong shouted loudly: "Serve the food, start the meal!"

With his shout, the wine and food came up like flowing water.

"My dear friends, the year is about to pass, and everyone has worked hard. I won't say much. Today, I'm staying up with the New Year. Don't be stubborn and drink happily. When I'm drunk, let Bai Xing send you back. Come and have a drink together!" Zhu Youlang picked up the wine glass, finished his toast briefly, and then drank it all in one go.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The hall responded with a loud bang, and then sipped the wine one by one.

"Okay, I'll just say this, bring this cup, everyone can do whatever you want." After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, he sat down to eat the food and stopped talking.

Since he said that, the ministers did not restrain themselves, and they exchanged cups and sang and started to drink.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became lively. The civil servants were more elegant. They were drinking, writing a poem, and answering it correctly, without any noise.

On the other hand, Ma Bao and Bai Gui were the leader, but they shouted loudly, and the noise almost lifted up the roof.

Zhu Youlang was happy to see this scene. The civil officials looked like civil officials, and the military generals had the style of military generals. Moreover, Li Dingguo and Jiao Lian seemed to have untied their knots and had a great chat.

However, Zhu Youlang noticed that both of them rarely drank. After drinking for a while, Li Dingguo and Jiao Lian stood up one after another and left the palace.

Zhu Youlang nodded and thought to himself: "These both of them are calm and moderate. They do not forget their responsibilities while drinking. They are designated to inspect the military camp."

After a while, Zhu Youlang saw Chen Jitai also went out and thought to himself: "What is your father-in-law doing? Could it be that there is any major military situation at this time?"

Zhu Youlang poured himself and drank it himself, suddenly remembered Wang Chang: "Oh, counting on the day, she is ten months pregnant, so she should have given birth, right? She is busy all day long. How can I ignore such an important thing? No, I have to ask."

Just as he was about to greet Gu Yanwu, Chen Jitai walked in with a smile and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Chen Jitai's voice was very loud, overshadowing the noisy sound in the hall. When everyone heard this, they quickly put down their wine glasses and looked at him.

"Oh? Bo Zhongyong, why am I happy?" Zhu Youlang's heart moved: "Could Chang'er have given birth?" He quickly put down his wine glass and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have just received news from Guangzhou that Zengcheng Bo Zhang Jiayu reported the victory. The siege of Ganzhou has been lifted, and a total of 30,000 enemies have been wiped out. Qing generals Tan Tai and He Luo will flee north."

"Okay, Zhang Yuanzi is trying to give me a New Year gift." Zhu Youlang said excitedly.

The release of Ganzhou means that the supply of pig iron will return to normal, and the production of grenades and mines will be back on track. Next, he also wants to develop more firearms, which are inseparable from pig iron - it can be considered a joy.

"Your Majesty, there is another joy. Dorgon fell off his horse while hunting and fell to death." Chen Jitai said again.

Zhu Youlang was stunned: "Ah? Dorgon died? No, if we follow the direction of history, Haoge should have been strangled to death by Dorgon with a bowstring. Dorgon did die of injury while hunting, but that happened in the seventh year of Shunzhi, which is three years later. Why did history have such a big reversal?"

Conspiracy must be a conspiracy!

Needless to say, now he is the Regent of Hauge?

Zhu Youlang made a quick judgment.

"Who is in charge of the Qing court now?" In order to confirm his judgment, Zhu Youlang asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, there is no further news."

Zhu Youlang stood up and walked back and forth with his hands in his face with a serious expression. He thought to himself: "In addition to Haoge, Jirgalang, Daishan, Ajige, and Duoduo, there are also the Empress Dowager Zhuang in the palace, who is not a good person. Daishan is old and according to the historical direction, he should die next year, and he should be excluded. So, who directed this incident? What impact will the Qing and Ming struggles next? How should I take advantage of these internal contradictions?"

Chen Jitai was very good at looking at the eyes. When he saw the emperor hearing the news, he not only did not show any joy, but instead looked worried and hurriedly offered another treasure: "Your Majesty, there is still a joy."

"He Xi?" Zhu Youlang stopped hearing this, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Chen Bangyan reported that the queen had a dragon son yesterday, and the mother and son were safe!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youlang sat back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Son, I have a son! Having a son means having hope!"…
