eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 258 The Harem

Chapter 258 The Harem

Up to now, Zhu Houzhao is probably able to grasp the small circle closest to him. These people may not agree with every decision he makes, but they trust him as the emperor.

However, if the scope is expanded, it will actually be much more intense.

And since the military order precedes the government order, the plan of Qianqing Palace today cannot be passed on before the military order is in place.

The emperor glanced at Liu Jin, the grand duke in charge of ceremonies knew he had something to say.

"... Opening the sea is for the reconciliation, the reconciliation is for Ping Bian's troubles, and Ping Bian's troubles are for Jing Sifang. You are all confidantes of His Majesty, and you all know the rules of the court. The affairs discussed in the palace are approved by the imperial edict of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. To be precise, if the Supervisor of Rituals has not approved it, but it is circulated outside, the Supervisor of Rituals will not recognize it."

He is a fox pretending to be a tiger. Everyone knows that in the Zhengde Dynasty, the right of the Sili Supervisor to approve reds has been greatly restricted.

Zhu Houzhao went on to say: "If there is nothing to do, let's retreat separately. After retreating, the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War will discuss the candidates for the commanders of both Zhejiang and Min. The governor of Fujian...if there is a suitable candidate, he can also submit a memorial."

This candidate is very critical, so the emperor meant that it is not appropriate to make an immediate decision today, but to ponder over it.

"As for Mr. Yang Ge, I don't know how the situation will be this year. If the situation is good, I will allocate more than 30 taels. If the situation is bad, then I have to wait. People always say that I am young and impatient, but in fact I am patient in the matter of resetting, and Mr. Yang Ge must grasp this rhythm. As far as this year is concerned, Ningxia, Datong, and Xuanfu cannot be chaotic."

Yang Yiqing, Yang Shangyi and Zhou Shangwen came out together, "I respect His Majesty's will!"

After the courtiers withdrew,

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair in Xinuang Pavilion, unwilling to leave for a long time.He stared blankly at the black tiles and red walls outside the hall gate and the white square in front of the hall.

He was still thinking about these things in his heart, wondering if there were any mistakes or omissions.

"You address."

"The servant is here."

"Go and call Zhang Yong."

Zhang Yong used to be the supervisor of the army, but he got along with Yang Yiqing along the way.For an important frontier like the Northwest, the palace would send eunuchs to guard it as usual.

In order to reduce constraints, Zhang Yong is still the most suitable.

With his body in his mouth, You Zhi hurried to the Yumajian.And Zhu Houzhao called Fengxi and Guo Shangkun over again.

"...I forgot to ask, how did you persuade Yang Yingning earlier?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I made my own decision and went to the Ministry of Punishment to let Mr. Yang Ge meet Liu Shiyong."

Zhu Houzhao was indeed a little surprised, he had so many things to do every day, it was hard to think of such a way, "So it was Liu Shiyong's persuasion."

Liu Daxia was accused of beheading after Qiuhou.

Generally, this kind of person still has a glimmer of life, even after the emperor gradually calms down, he may not be killed.

"I didn't kill him immediately at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect. You two are also very wise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head, and suddenly remembered what he had talked with them before, "You all know the things in Zhejiang and Fujian. Yuan Xue (Fengxi characters), do you have the guts to be the chief envoy of Fujian?" ?”

Fengxi's scalp tightened, he tried his best to perform earlier, of course he hoped to make the emperor feel that he is outstanding.By persuading Yang Yiqing, this purpose was indeed achieved.

Following this logic, he would naturally be assigned additional unusual tasks.

"Why don't you dare. The so-called difficulties and obstacles, the end is nothing more than death!"

"It's nothing more than death... If you are not afraid of death, then there are few things to be afraid of. But Yuanxue, you must know that Fujian is no better than Zhejiang. Zhejiang has been rectified before, and there are people there, and the situation is still there." Slightly better. Fujian, it must be much more dangerous."

Feng Xi said calmly: "The minister has gone, His Majesty already has someone in Fujian."

In fact, during the court meeting just now, the name of the person Zhu Houzhao had in mind was Liang Chu. Liang Chu is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

But Fengxi persuaded Yang Yiqing that he immediately changed his mind.In that kind of environment, it is necessary to use strange things, Liang Chu is still a little more decent.

"Mingzhi, He Jian, the governor of Yingtian, will probably go to Beijing in the next few days. When he takes up his post, you should follow him. To participate in politics for one term."

"The humble minister leads the decree." Guo Shangkun said.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head and rubbed his temples.Liu Jin came out and took the two out.

Since his sudden ascension to the throne, there have been too many things.

But his people rested, and his mind still couldn't stop, "Liu Jin."

Liu Jin quickly took a few steps and came to the emperor, "Your Majesty, why don't you rest earlier today?"

"Prepare the fragrant soup, soak it before going to sleep. I will go there when Zhang Yong is arranged."

"The servant girl went and called Miss Qiuyun."

"Qiuyun, you can just find someone. You can find Huaigu by yourself. His two younger sisters are being used by me..."

Liu Jin bowed and waited for the emperor's next order.

"Forget it, you'd better call him over."

"Your Majesty..." Liu Jin probably felt that the emperor had worked too hard.

"It's all right, it's very simple."

Zhang Yong is an internal official, where he goes is simply a matter of the emperor's words, and there is no need to discuss it with anyone.So it is really simple, there is no time for a stick of incense when you come and go.

But Mei Huaigu...

Zhu Houzhao went back to the imperial case, and he went out of the palace to Mei's mansion earlier, in fact, he took advantage of people's thought that he went there for the two girls.I'm afraid that everyone in the inner courtyard of Mei Mansion also thinks so.

Speaking of it, this is actually trying to put it nicely. If someone can't get married anymore, if he is not responsible, isn't this immoral?

But to be honest, there is nothing to use or not to use... The biggest reason is that he has seen his appearance, so of course he doesn't reject it.He doesn't want to do such a mind-consuming thing as a date, but it is a man's instinct to distinguish between beautiful and unbeautiful.

As for being pitiful... how painful can it be for two well-to-do young ladies to be sentimental about love? Is it more painful than poor people who have no clothes and no food to eat?

"Wei Chen, see Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't look up, but he could already hear Mei Huaigu's voice.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"For your two younger sisters, should I write one letter or two letters?"

Mei Huaigu was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect such a question, besides, she seldom heard it.For a while, I really stopped him.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao also thought of a solution in an instant, clicked his lips and said, "Let's write two letters. It's a bit too much for two people to read one letter."

After all, this kind of matter of using one person's 'quantity' to spoil two people, even the parties who take advantage of it, will find it a bit weird.

Mei Huaigu also slowly came to his senses, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and he said with some joy: "Your Majesty don't need to bother too much, I think one letter is enough."

The emperor raised his eyes to look at him, and Mei Huaigu felt a little nervous, "Uh... Your Majesty...?"

"Do you understand a woman's mind?"

These words were said with disgust, which made Mei Huaigu speechless for a while.

It didn't take long for the emperor to write the two letters.Because it's just a poem each, and in the age of strict etiquette, he couldn't come up with a small composition.

"Elder sister and younger sister, you should divide them well, don't make mistakes. And you tell them that the time is not right now, so you have to wait patiently for a while."

Mei Huaigu knew in his heart that the so-called inappropriateness meant that the late emperor died not long ago.

"My humble minister, thank you for your gift! Your majesty has given me a long grace in Meifu, and I will never repay you in my life!"

"Go down."

After a while, Liu Jin and Qiu Yun also arrived.

Surrounded by eunuchs and court ladies, the emperor prepared to take a bath and change clothes.

A few days ago, the emperor went to the Mei Mansion, and the news spread in the palace. Since he could deceive the important officials of the court, it would not be seen through by the people in the harem.

Qiu Yun probably still remembered that Empress Dowager Zhang summoned her the next day, then walked away and asked some blush-making questions.She is still an unbroken girl, how can she be ashamed to say something?

So in front of Empress Dowager Zhang, she was quite cautious, and her face was as red as a ripe nectarine.

Empress Dowager Zhang was very straightforward, "Qiu Yun, you are the ones who serve His Majesty on weekdays... I have to ask you some questions. I was quite surprised when I heard that Your Majesty went to the Mei Mansion. Why... the palace Can’t you? Go outside the palace to find the merchant’s daughter?”

From her point of view, it was indeed a strange thing.What she was worried about was whether the women outside the palace had played tricks on the emperor or something.

And these words smacked of accusation, but in fact Qiuyun can't say nonsense, 'not in the palace', that's not her problem, because she doesn't have the status to accept this accusation.

"The servants don't understand what the Queen Mother means. All along, the servants are just serving His Majesty's daily life."

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, "In the 17th year of Hongzhi, the late emperor and this palace were already choosing a good family for your majesty... The inheritance of offspring is the most important thing in the heavenly family. Now, your majesty is fifteen years old, and he is busy with government affairs all day long. But I didn't care about it at all. Listening to what you mean, Your Majesty...doesn't seem to have any such intentions?"

no?

How could Qiu Yunxin answer this!

If you say no, then it's not that you have arranged for His Majesty to say that there is a problem with him!When the time comes to cause the empress dowager to worry, that simple matter will be complicated!

If yes, how do you know there is?He must have done something, so it is even more unclear.

In fact... In retrospect, Qiu Yun thinks that there are probably some. Sometimes the emperor will have unintentional or intentional movements or simply bold eyes.

"What the Empress Dowager said... this servant really doesn't know how to answer. The servant only knows that she is just a tea maid, so she dare not have excessive delusions."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded with a slight smile, "No wonder His Majesty has been using you. You are indeed smart."

~~

Zhu Houzhao also felt that there was something wrong with Qiuyun today, that is, his face was flushed when changing clothes,

"What's wrong with you?"
