Due to the limitations of the ritual system, Zhu Youxiao could only allow thirty officers to spend New Year's Eve with him in the square outside the Ganqing Gate.

But for the officers, being able to celebrate New Year's Eve with the son today is considered the supreme glory. Even if you cannot reunite with your family at this time, you will be satisfied.

Seventeen high-legged long tables were lined up on the left and right sides of the white marble base. In addition to thirty officers standing straight in a row waiting for Zhu Youxiao's orders, Lu Xiangsheng's family had already taken their seats at the invitation of Queen Zhang Yan.

At this time, a stage was also set up in the square in the center, and famous wines tributed from all over the country were also placed aside.

Big red lanterns are already hung around, and the pillars are covered with various colors of flowers made of paper, especially Big red.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting side by side with his queen on the platform, took the wine glass and said, "Please take your seat." The officers shouted in unison, "Yes!" before taking your seat in an orderly manner.

For a moment, the queen couldn't help but exclaim: "All of these guys are so energetic, they are really majestic, Your Majesty."

"Do they have my might?" Zhu Youxiao put his hand on the queen Zhang Yan's thigh, which made the queen glaring at him and whispered: "Your Majesty, be more respectful."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and returned to his usual serious appearance. He raised his glass: "Come on, today is New Year's Eve, and the New Year is approaching. At this banquet, we do not distinguish between the king and the minister, but only about friendship, so we don't have to be restricted."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The officers and students hurriedly raised their glasses together to respond to Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao found that one of the thirty officers was missing, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Aiqing, why is one missing?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the absent person is the officer of the Ding Bed in the Xuanzi Room. He has not met the standards and has no face to see Your Majesty. He is locking himself in the house to practice hard. Because Your Majesty said that you don't need to name it today, so you have not mentioned it."

After Lu Xiangsheng answered, the other officers smiled slightly.

"Since that's the case, you don't have to worry about him. Drink a bar." Zhu Youxiao said, then raised his glass and poured the wine into his mouth. After drinking it all, he turned it upside down.

"Your Majesty is so good to drink!"

Oboi and some open-minded officers couldn't help but exclaim loudly, and hurriedly drank the wine. It seemed that at this moment, they had been closer to their Majesty.

As soon as these officers finished drinking, Zhu Youxiao asked the little yellow gate around him to add wine to them. These officers were also relaxed and all stood up to bow to Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang Yan: "Today's New Year's Eve, thank Your Majesty, the Queen's gifts. I am grateful to you. Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Queen's Longevity and Health!"

Zhu Youxiao felt a little awkward when he asked these officers to say some literary congratulations in front of him. Even the queen Zhang Yan couldn't help but cover her face and smile.

However, it can be seen that the congratulations of these officers were all out of sincerity, so Zhu Youxiao slapped the table and cheered: "Very good, you all are my hope for the future of the Ming Dynasty. I have you, a group of good men, protecting me, so why worry about not being able to live a long life and be healthy! Here, I also wish all men to make achievements as soon as possible and be promoted to a marquis!"

Due to the attack of alcohol and the golden words of His Majesty the Emperor, these officers couldn't help but feel excited for a moment, and they wanted to immediately cross the sword and horse to obtain the head of the general among the millions of troops to Zhu Youxiao, so as to live up to your kindness!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. You will go through fire and water in the future!"

The heroic spirit of the officers was completely mobilized by Zhu Youxiao, and unlike the emperors who were good at the deep palaces before, Zhu Youxiao, did not seem pretentious, so he also surrendered the nobles to drink with these officers.

The ministers who accompanied Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Chengen couldn't help but smile at each other. They can see now that His Majesty is no longer His Majesty of the past. After he recovered from a serious illness, His Majesty first demoted Wei Zhongxian, then used thunder to eliminate Donglin and copy the Shanxi merchants. His methods have to be said to be more iron-blooded, and his emperor's mind is more familiar with them.

Now in front of a group of officers, His Majesty, who has never drunken wine, can be so arrogant and unrestrained. He and the military officers who are not willing to see them, shout and drink happily.

Anyone who understands it can see that Your Majesty is collecting the morale of the army and is unwilling to be a puppet locked in the Forbidden City. Although he is no longer a puppet, all the emperors and ministers here know that Your Majesty’s goal is not just to be a founding king.

"At that time, Emperor Taizu was originally a commoner in Huaiyou. He started his career with twenty-four disciples in Huaixi. He eventually destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty and restored my China. Now I also have thirty young heroes, so I should not lose to the glory of my ancestors back then! Come on! Do it!"

The officers sitting were chosen from the Beijing camp, and most of them were descendants of the great relatives of Huaixi. Now when they heard that Zhu Youxiao praised his ancestors for their glory, they were all full of energy.

On this New Year's Eve, it seemed that Zhu Youxiao and the officers seemed to have become the main characters, while the others became only foils, but everyone could not leave, so they could only wait.

The drunkenness became stronger. With the advice of Queen Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao restrained himself and ordered the show to start. He personally ordered a few plays of Yue Fei's loyalty to the country and Huo Qubing to conquer the Huns.

The intense war drums and sonorous gongs and the wonderful fights of the martial artists on the stage made the officers blush and wished they could also kill the enemy on the battlefield and make achievements.

After the play was finished, Zhu Youxiao was already drunk and fell in the arms of Queen Zhang Yan and closed his eyes and fell asleep. None of the officers dared to laugh at his own Majesty when they saw this. Even Oboi couldn't help but be more sure that he had decided to follow the Ming lord. With such an Emperor of Ming Dynasty, even if the warriors of the Later Jin Dynasty were brave, they would probably not be able to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

When the next day, after Zhu Youxiao woke up, it was almost my third son.

It was only the latest time since Zhu Youxiao came to the Ming Dynasty, but when he heard the commands from the officers from afar, he couldn't help but turn over and start: "Change clothes!"

"Your Majesty, you drank too much yesterday, so why don't you sleep more today," Queen Zhang Yan walked in at this time and asked with great concern.

"No need, it hurts even more when sleeping. Who made me the emperor? The ministers have holidays, but I don't have it?" Zhu Youxiao said, and put on his shoes. When the queen saw that she could not persuade him, she ordered Liu Rushi to go to the imperial kitchen to send lunch. She personally combed Zhu Youxiao's hair and hair buns, and said: "Everyone wants to be the emperor, you can see me. This emperor has no intention and is exhausted."

"If you beloved concubine, if you are trying to make a sigh of relief, give me another dragon son. When he grows up, I will pass the throne to him and then become the emperor by myself, and it will be easy."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, the queen lowered her head and said nothing for a while.

Zhu Youxiao knew that he had missed his mouth. He smiled awkwardly and left the hall, stretched out of the body and said, "My Great Ming Dynasty's eighth year will start from now on!"
