Chapter 178 For three consecutive days, the king is not only greedy
The Ming Empire still has strong national strength before it reaches sunset.
After all, Hongzhi's rejuvenation was not really a fictional reputation.
Since the first year of Zhengde, so many officials and gentry have been cracked down on cases such as the rebel party, and the finances of the central court have also been greatly supplemented.
Logically, even the little prince, who unified the south of the Mo and even the strong man who was about to unify the entire Mongolian family, was not enough to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
But that's true.
Zhu Houzhao did not reduce his contempt for the little prince either.
The little prince is ambitious, and Zhu Houzhao has never had ambition. Just like the little prince rebuilding the Dayuan period, he also wanted to eat the little prince and own the entire land outside the pass, including the population there.
Ma Wensheng left Beijing again and went to the three sides, continuing to coordinate border affairs, preventing the little prince from entering the mainland, and surrounding the capital first if he acted again.
The Minister of War Xu Jin was still in charge of the capital, responsible for dispatching money and grain from the world and recruiting bravely to enrich the border army.
The cabinet chief Jiao Fang, Wang Hua, the Minister of Revenue Wang Hua, Xu Jing and others began to prepare to restore the Kaizhong French to collect grain and salt.
Although the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhengde seemed to be very calm.
But the entire ruler of the Ming Empire was not calm, and even the scholars who knew the inside story were not calm.
Under the propaganda led by the Imperial Ming Pao and the Second Secretariat.
More scholars began to know what the upper rulers of the empire were doing, what they were anxious about, and began to care about the fate of the empire.
They knew that the emperor killed the son of a northern Tartar leader in order to avenge their ordinary people, but the empire had to face the crisis of revenge.
"The border towns have strengthened their vigilance, and all passes have increased their troops. The mail cavalry and even the night are not collected! The merchants who go out for foreign trade have also secretly inserted their eyes, and have mobilized 300,000 stones of grain from Huguang to Beijing to prepare for the vain!"
After Xu Jin, the Minister of War, reported the latest Ministry of War to Zhu Houzhao, he asked again: "Your Majesty! I dare to ask, Your Majesty, you really want to go to Datong?"
"Yes, go to Datong, I will organize hundreds of thousands of cavalry to destroy the little prince! The cabinet chief Jiao Fang and the chief supervisor of the Sili Liu Jin will go with me, and you and Wang Hua will be in charge of the capital!"
Zhu Houzhao said.
"Hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry? Your Majesty, when will there be hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Jin was a little puzzled.
"Of course there were not so many iron cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, but there were still the whole world."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, he believed that the little prince was not just an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and other tribes may not be willing to sit idly by and watch the little prince become bigger. He believed that it would be no problem to organize an alliance with the Ming Dynasty's imperial prestige.
If we unite other tribes outside the pass to attack the little prince, it is naturally not a problem to organize hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
Xu Jin didn't say anything, nor did he stop Zhu Houzhao. He knew that he was not an emperor who only satisfies the governance of the people in the pass. He wanted to show his talent and strategy and create his own empire's great achievements.
Zhu Houzhao left the cabinet and the Sili Supervisory Office and was about to go back to his inner courtyard of the palace to rest.
As the six ministries of the cabinet were almost all reformists, now he, the emperor, did not have to stay in the cabinet and the rank of the ranks and supervisors to control the power, and he would not doubt the employment of people. Zhu Houzhao believed that these officials would handle daily government affairs in the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the Ming court and the people.
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he had been in the Ming Dynasty for five years.
Suddenly.
He almost forgot that he was still a person from later generations, but he was still shocked that he could have an empire.
Looking at the majestic and magnificent Forbidden City in front of him, he never thought that this place would become his own home.
What Zhu Houzhao didn’t expect now is that he is only nineteen years old now!
However, Zhu Houzhao could not imagine that he, who was only nineteen years old, had become awesome emperor. Even if he glanced at him, the officials in the palace walls beside him would be frightened as if they were depressed.
Cining Palace.
Here is the Queen Mother Zhang.
It is still the place where Zhu Houzhao often came after handling the government affairs, and the meals and daily royal gatherings are all here.
Zhu Houzhao's empress and even the two noble concubines would often accompany Empress Dowager Zhang here.
However, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's two relatives have not come to Cining Palace often now.
According to Zhu Houzhao, the navigation knowledge that the two uncles had mastered was keeping pace with the Japanese. After the relevant materials of Zheng He's voyage to the West found by the Minister of War Xu Jin from the Ministry of War were transferred to the Beijing University for safekeeping, the two of them looked through and looked at it, saying that they would go to find the sweet potatoes with a yield of dozens of stones per mu mentioned in the Beijing University books in the future.
Zhu Houzhao was very pleased with this. These royal relatives were actually the most troublesome class. They all owned countless land wealth but did not pay taxes. Even if they committed crimes, they could not be punished too ruthlessly. If they could do something serious, they would not cause trouble, so that after they would have to have a relative who refused to deal with it forcibly, which would make Queen Mother-son sad and affect the relationship between mother and son.
There was a saying in later generations that women with younger brothers could not marry them, which actually reflected a family phenomenon in which sisters were extremely doting on their younger brothers.
Empress Dowager Zhang is the brother of Fu Demon, and Zhu Houzhao knew that, otherwise Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling would not have become marquis without any achievements.
Now that I know that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are studying, although Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't know what books are her two younger brothers reading, she is in a good mood. She feels that her two younger brothers have finally made a bright future and is naturally in a good mood. She also forgot about the day when Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, forcing her to kill Ma Wensheng.
Family harmony is prosperous.
Zhu Houzhao is very pleased that the current royal family can still live in harmony.
However, as the fourth year of Zhengde was about to pass, one thing made Empress Dowager Zhang feel a little sad again, that was the issue of Zhu Houzhao's descendants.
The queen has never been pregnant!
Zhu Houzhao also knew that the royal heir was very important in this era and even had strong political significance.
It is now the fourth year of Zhengde. If I have no children again, it will undermine the confidence of the entire reformist officials.
Looking back at the beautiful figure behind him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile, wondering if she wanted her body directly tonight.
I looked at the other two beautiful men who were looking down and pointed, wondering if I wanted both of them.
This increases the chance of getting pregnant.
"Concubine Su, Concubine Liu, tonight, you stay in Qianqing Palace! No, from now on, you will stay in Qianqing Palace! Until I leave the capital!"
Zhu Houzhao said something, and the two girls' ears were red without realizing that they nodded and said yes. They also guessed what Zhu Houzhao's words meant.
Queen Xia suddenly stopped and looked at Zhu Houzhao who had already climbed up the stairs. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't open her mouth.
When the four of them finished washing, all the palace maids who served retreated, and even the eunuch on duty had already covered the rich family.
Queen Xia had already consciously lying inside Longcai. As she grew older, she no longer dared to lie flat and sleep. She was instinctively shy, only showing her back, facing Zhu Houzhao's side.
But because she grew up, she is gradually becoming more familiar with human affairs. Although she has not experienced it personally, she also knows that something indescribable will happen between men and women.
Tonight, Emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly called Concubine Su and Concubine Liu to stay in the Ganqing Palace together, which surprised her and also felt a little different from the past.
Listening to the rustling sound of undressing behind her, Queen Xia pursed her lips, and she felt someone approaching her body.
She became nervous instinctively and dared not move.
Zhu Houzhao was indeed approaching Empress Xia. He was now naked. After getting on the bed, he touched his hands through Empress Xia's gauze dress.
At the same time, Zhu Houzhao turned around and looked at Concubine Su and Concubine Liu, who were still standing in the same place and blushed like an apple:
"Come on, take off all your clothes like me!"
As he said that, Zhu Houzhao turned around and got closer to Queen Xia, while Queen Xia was so nervous that she straightened her body.
The next morning.
The autumn sun shines in from outside the rich door, and the mottled sunlight shines on the four bodies that are lingering together.
The Neihuan, who heard the sound of a delicate voice for a night last night, was still yawning.
But Zhu Houzhao had already woken up from Concubine Su's breasts. Looking at the queen and the two Concubines who were broken by him under the golden tent, he just shook his head, a little dizzy, thinking that it would be better if he was young and strong.
Ruyi walked over, looked at the scene in front of her and said only one sentence: "Serve Your Majesty in the bath!"
When Zhu Houzhao returned from morning exercise again, the queen and the two noble concubines seemed to have more charming overnight, and there was something in the autumn waves, not just shyness and innocence.
For the rest of the days, Zhu Houzhao began a ridiculous emperor life.
Four years ago, when Zhengde had not tasted the taste of this place, he naturally would not know the taste of the inside. But now, when he first tasted the things between men and women, he naturally ate bones and knew the marrow, and was in love with him, and did not know the world.
I won't go to court today.
I won't go to court tomorrow.
I will not be in court the day after tomorrow!
It was not until the fourth day that Zhu Houzhao came to the Sili Supervisor and the Cabinet Office.
After all, tomorrow will be the day to leave Beijing and go to Datong, so he can no longer be lazy. Although the flowers are good, it is not a place for men to realize their ambitions.
Jiao Fang looked at Zhu Houzhao and sighed in her heart that she didn't have the energy to enjoy this blessing now. He was over 70 years old and had already been greedy for pleasure because he was young and greedy, so even if he took medicine, he couldn't last long.
Liu Jin was even more unhappy and regretted his choice.
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao had to say: "I admit that I have indulged a little in the past few days, but you are not as depressed as you are. If you want to advise, please advise. Could it be that I will kill you?"
"Your Majesty misunderstood! I am not depressed or happy, nor am I going to advise you. Your Majesty is a blessing for the country and the blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"
Jiao Fang smiled awkwardly.
"The inner minister thinks so too," Liu Jin also smiled awkwardly.
Chapter completed!
