Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

It’s not that I don’t want to.

But can't.

Now that he was well-known, what playful emperor wouldn't want to participate in some hunting activities? After getting tired of other things, it was only natural for him to set his sights on new entertainment activities.

"Yes! I will arrange it for Your Majesty right away!" As soon as Zhu Yunhuan finished speaking, the Jinyiwei who came to report received the order and immediately responded. Then they stopped and waited until Zhu Yunhuan's dragon chariot walked a distance before turning around and retreating.

Beside the dragon chariot, Ma Sanbao knew Zhu Yunhuan's intentions from the very beginning. He immediately, knowing the situation well, cooperated and advised, "Your Majesty... I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to cancel tomorrow's morning court session. The late emperor has always been diligent and set an example. Except for very special occasions, he never missed a morning court session..."

Zhu Yunhuan said coldly, "Shut up! I've been attending morning court for more than twenty days in a row, can't I enjoy myself? Even the Emperor didn't explicitly stipulate that I must attend morning court every day, right? Go back to the Qianqing Palace and get ready. I'm going hunting today!"

Now the coronation ceremony has also been held.

In other words, the overall situation has been determined.

As long as he, as an emperor, does not act too outrageously or truly touch the vital interests of certain people, his arrogance and domineering behavior, as well as his indulgence in eating, drinking and having fun, will at most cause some complaints and will not affect his position.

This is especially true for the Huaixi nobles who currently hold the initiative in Yingtian Prefecture.

This is actually something that people welcome.

"Yes..." Ma Sanbao closed his mouth again in cooperation.

Surrounded by the honor guard, Zhu Yunhuan returned to the Qianqing Palace, changed into the crescent-shaped white silk shirt that he always liked, and left the palace surrounded by the Jinyiwei.

Ma Sanbao was left in the Qianqing Palace by him. After all, there were sweet potatoes planted in the backyard of the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Yunhuan could not feel at ease unless he was someone he absolutely trusted.

……

Yingtian Prefecture, a suburb of Beijing.

Zhimaling.

The autumn wind has turned the maple leaves here red, and the red, yellow and green colors all over the mountains are intertwined together, forming a beautiful autumn landscape.

A middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, wearing a crimson official robe and a black hat, was galloping towards them on a red-maned horse. His face had a heroic and elegant look.

Behind him followed an official in a blue robe.

Riding a black horse, he lagged behind by half a horse's length and followed at a gallop.

The two men soon arrived at the entrance of the Daming Royal Hunting Ground. They reined in their horses, raised their hooves high, and heard clear neighing sounds.

"Lord Ru, why did His Majesty suddenly feel like hunting again? I received the news and rushed here in a hurry..." After entering the hunting ground, the blue-robed official said with a frown.

And the official in scarlet robe walking in front of him.

It was none other than the head of the Ministry of War among the six ministries, the Minister of War Ru Chang!

The two of them walked in a hurry. Ru Hong's brows were furrowed, and a look of fatigue appeared on her face. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Like you, I received an urgent notice and rushed all the way here from Yingtian Prefecture."

"In the capital, even the morning court session has been cancelled."

"Our Majesty is different from the previous emperor. You've seen him at court on a daily basis. Censors are fussing and arguing with the Duke of Liang and his gang almost every day. His Majesty is a playful person by nature... Today he enjoys planting flowers and making ceramics, tomorrow he'll have the Ministry of Works build a brick kiln, and the day after tomorrow he'll be selling newspapers..."

"But there's nothing we can do."

"After all, we are his subjects, and he is His Majesty. Sitting on the throne, he is the most respected person in the world. The emperor is the leader of his subjects."

Ru Rong lowered her voice.

At the same time, he warned, "Since Your Majesty is coming, the Jinyiwei will definitely come. This is an open place and we can't hide anyone. We can just talk about this, but from now on, you must be careful with your words and actions."

"Although our Majesty loves to have fun, he also has a murderous streak. Don't think he's easy to bully."

During these days, although Ru Zheng, as the Minister of War, seldom spoke in the court, he had never really had any contact with Zhu Yunhuan.

But he witnessed both cases of family annihilation.

Knowing that Zhu Yunhuan had the Huaixi nobles supporting him behind the scenes, he naturally did not dare to relax at all.

The blue-robed official nodded immediately.

A solemn expression appeared on his face: "I understand."

"Now that His Majesty has arrived, all we can do is to please His Majesty and wait until he gets tired of playing before we return to Tianfu."

Ru Zheng nodded: "That's right, that's the truth."

The two looked at each other and immediately reached a tacit understanding not to discuss the matter anymore.

Not long after.

The two of them rushed to the largest tent in the hunting ground. They had received news from Yingtian Prefecture early in the morning that the new emperor was coming to the hunting ground to hunt. Naturally, the soldiers stationed there made temporary preparations and lined up to welcome him.

Ru Rong glanced at the many soldiers lined up.

Since the troops under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War were stationed nearby, they were also responsible for the patrol work near the hunting ground on weekdays. In a sense, this group of people were Ru Chang's soldiers.

"Those over there, and you too. Those skilled in horseback archery, step out! This is His Majesty's first hunting trip since ascending the throne. You must accompany and serve him. Not only must you protect His Majesty, but you must also keep him happy and enjoyable!"

"Do you understand?"

Although Ru Chang has a bit of the air of a Confucian scholar, he speaks with full energy and a certain dignity.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small group of people stood up from the queue and lined up separately, just as Ru Rong had said.

Ru Chang glanced again at the crowd's formation and the nearby arrangements.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, feel relieved, and wait with his hands behind his back.

Because he set out at almost the same time as Zhu Yunhuan.

So the crowd didn't have to wait too long before they heard the faint sound of horse hooves, which gradually approached and became louder.

Then, a black banner embroidered with the word "Ming" came into view...
