When Zhu Youjian woke up leisurely, he heard a ticking sound in his ears.
This sound was all too familiar to him.
It was a Western self-ringing bell.
Suddenly he woke up with a shock, he was not in the familiar dormitory.
The memories of yesterday flashed through his mind like lightning.
Yesterday, after entering the city, Xia Hua arranged for him and the queen to live in this room.
The house is also equipped with a bathroom, and the bathroom wall bath is entirely made of marble.
The most peculiar thing is that there are several water valves, hot and cold water flow out by themselves as soon as you open it, and there is also a copper nozzle in the shape of a lotus.
The maid here taught him for a long time before he and Queen Zhou learned how to operate it.
Previously, there were special bathrooms in the palace, but they were far away from the bedrooms.
On ordinary days, the palace maids and eunuchs used utensils to bring hot water and bathed in wooden tubs in the adjacent rooms of the dormitory.
After the queen helped him take a bath, he fell down on the big bed and slept soundly until now.
He didn't know how long he slept.
When Zhu Youjian thought of the queen, he quickly turned around and saw that Queen Zhou still had her eyes slightly closed, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
He quietly turned over and sat up, and then he noticed that something was wrong with the "curtain" opposite the bed, because there was a gap of sunlight in it, and it was obvious that the back should be empty.
Zhu Youjian got out of bed, opened the "curtain" with a snap, and was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The early morning sunshine instantly filled the entire room.
Separated by a hollow "wooden wall", outside was the endless ocean.
He once thought he was on a boat, but he didn't know until he noticed the tree-lined coast.
He should be on a building near the sea.
This building is at least eight or nine tall.
But he didn't remember going up the stairs, he just entered a cubicle, and then the four walls of the cubicle suddenly moved downward.
Just when he was wondering, the fence door of the cubicle opened and people came out again.
Xia Hua called the cubicle an elevator.
Strangely, this wooden hollow "wall" is not ventilated, and the indoor temperature is much higher than the outdoor temperature, so it is obviously insulated.
Zhu Youjian reached out and touched the hollows, only to find that these places were actually inlaid with glass.
As an emperor, Zhu Youjian naturally has a lot of knowledge.
He had seen many kinds of glassware, but this was the first time he had seen such a large piece of transparent plate glass.
"So beautiful."
Zhu Youjian heard a woman's voice and turned around to see that it was the queen who had also come to the floor-to-ceiling window.
She stood barefoot on the original wooden floor, her hair spread down to her waist, and her unique nightgown made her look even more elegant.
"Yes, this place is like heaven and earth.
I feel much more relaxed.
It's like I have changed my life."
"It's just that I don't know what's going on in the capital now, but I'm still worried about our three children."
When the queen mentioned Shuntian Mansion in the capital, Zhu Youjian's heart sank again.
In the cold wind of early spring, more than 1,200 Ming Dynasty officials of all ranks stood outside Chengtian Gate for a whole day, but they were not summoned by Li Zicheng, and not even a senior general of the Shun Army was seen.
Just when they were about to leave in despair, the Chengtian Gate opened, and a retained Ming Dynasty eunuch read out sharply the notice of Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng: "Every official will have an audience with you the next day."
On the second day, these officials gathered in front of Chengtian Gate early again.
This time the palace door opened wide, and officials entered the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
When they entered the temple, they saw that the outside of the temple was filled with soldiers wearing black uniforms.
Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and other generals and assistants of the Shunjun army were already sitting high in the hall.
The man with a red face and black beard sitting on the throne in the middle was naturally Li Zicheng.
After everyone had arrived, Niu Jinxing stood up, took a roster, and called everyone's name one by one.
Those who were slow to respond would be dragged down by the soldiers beside the palace and beaten with sticks for dozens of times.

The beatings would only leave their skin and flesh torn, and they would beg for mercy.
Every time Niu Jinxing clicks on a person, he will use that person as the theme, laugh and curse, feel proud, and pretend to be unforeseen.
This process was finally completed.
Niu Jinxing presented the roster to Li Zicheng and said with a haha: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 1,232 people.
It seems that I have kept my salary for this month."
Li Zicheng said: "The Prime Minister is really clever and clever."
When he glanced at His Highness's former ministers, he was even more disapproving.
Next, everyone expressed their congratulations to Li Zicheng one after another.
Wei Zaode, the former chief minister of the cabinet, was the first.
He lay down in front of Li Zicheng respectfully and spoke a lot of congratulations and requests for help that Li Zicheng could not understand.
Li Zicheng asked: "If they use you, what can you do for them?"
Wei Zaode's specialties are twofold.
One is long rhetoric and eloquence.
To put it bluntly, he is a good talker.
The second is to be good at figuring out the master's thoughts.
With these two points, he gained Zhu Youjian's trust and rose to a high position suddenly, but he did not offer a single useful strategy.
Even though he was good at talking and talking, he did not use it when Emperor Chongzhen needed it most.
Instead of refuting the ministers' objections to the southward migration in the court, he remained silent.
Wei Zaode was delighted after hearing what Li Zicheng said, thinking that the new owner intended to use him.
He immediately replied: "I have read a lot of books since I was a child.
Although I have no talent in the world, I can quote from others and speak eloquently to the world."
Li Zicheng frowned and said: "I want you to argue a ball to argue about this country.
Isn't it because of my argument?"
After that, he waved his hand to drive him away.
"Next" Honglu, who was in charge of roll call, continued to sing.
After passing a few people, all like Wei Zaode, Li Zicheng became a little impatient.
Looking at Liu Zongmin again, the same is true for Li Guo and other generals.
Some people pick out their ears, some pretend to be asleep, and some even take off their boots and pick at their feet.
Only civil servants such as Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, and Song Xiance are still interested in this, just because this kind of thing gives them, the once despised lower-class civil servants, a sense of revenge.
After a while, Li Zicheng finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He yawned and said to Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance: "Prime Minister, military advisor, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to the palace to rest.
It's up to you to decide what can be used."
Just keep it."
After saying that, he stood up and retreated into the back hall.
Liu Zongmin, who had been impatient for a long time, Li Guo and others, when they saw that Li Zicheng was gone, they slapped their butts and left in relief.
Liu Zongmin said as he walked: "I told him this was unnecessary and advised him a long time ago.
Today, the young ones have brought me some prostitutes from brothels and opera actors for my entertainment.
Damn it, this has ruined my happiness for an entire afternoon."
Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance only selected less than a hundred low-level officials from more than a thousand people to retain.
The rest of the people walked out of the palace in despair.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the palace, they were caught one by one by a large number of soldiers waiting outside the palace.
Two soldiers took one person and escorted him out of the palace in a line.
All the officials were shocked, thinking that they were going to be executed, and some people immediately peed their crotches.
When they were taken to Liu Zongmin, they found two peeling stakes erected in front of his house.
At this time, Liu Zongmin was watching the big show with prostitutes on his left and right.

When he heard that the prisoner had been escorted to his residence, he said impatiently: "I am not free today.
Take them all to the stable and wait for the next day." retrial
