A year has passed, and it is already October.

The weather is slightly cool.

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of the month, there have been a lot of displaced people in Sichuan, even more than their original homes, and now there are many people who have no way to work, but there are more taxes than before, for which the people are complaining bitterly, and the people's grievances will rise, I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible!"

The words of Wang Wei, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, were sonorous and powerful, and the people were extremely worried, but Zhu Youzhang, who had always suffered for the people's livelihood, seemed to have not heard of it, and still held the book in his hand and bowed his head to observe.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Wei called again, and Zhu Youzhu came out of his thoughts and raised his head to answer.

"Sichuan Displaced People......"

Zhu Youzhu didn't wait for Wang Wei to say, so he replied in a hurry, and only said: "I know, exempt the homeless from paying taxes, sir, that's what I mean, I am approved."

Wang Wei was quite stunned when he heard this, and Zhu Youzhu said again: "I hope that Mr. will pay more attention to the affairs of people's livelihood, and I will also live on behalf of the people in the world, thank you, sir."

When Zhu Youzhu said this, Wang Wei was relieved of some depression in his heart, and bowed down and said, "Weichen retires."

Looking at the notebook in Zhu Youzhang's hand, it was written, "Your Majesty has been in power for three years, and the heir has not heard of it, please send the internal official Bo to select the daughter of a good family to enter the palace for selection." ”

Since last February, Guo Yong asked for a pre-selection of a good family girl in the palace in front of the courtiers, and after he reprimanded him, no one dared to play about me and this matter.

"When did this copy arrive?"

"It was delivered last night, when His Majesty was resting in Kunning Palace, and the slave didn't dare to disturb it, so he put it here."

Zhu Youzhu put down the notebook heavily, and sneered slightly teasingly, "Uncle Huang didn't go to the Dao this time, and I thought he was begging for a bonus again." ”

Zhang Yu also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is talkative, this Jing Wang Ye is inevitably insatiable, when the first emperor was in power, every time the court celebrated, he would be rewarded extraly, and the treatment of the palace could be described as very generous." Moreover, he also got two-thirds of the Jiujiang Mansion's ship material banknotes, although it was only half a year at that time, it was enough for the expenses of several generations of the palace. ”

Zhu Youzhu was silent, after all, this Zhu Jiantong was his imperial uncle, and it was not too much to ask for the old age. He just replied: "The king asked the official to choose a woman because I did not have an heir, which is a grand intention. This is a matter of human ethics and should not be taken lightly. I ascended the throne for three years, and the first emperor was not long in luck. If you choose a concubine, will you not open up the world's private discussions? After the ancestor was registered, there was no case for officials to re-elect concubines, and if I wanted to choose a concubine, I should also entrust the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to do it, how dare I do it arbitrarily. ”

After putting down the pen, Zhu Youzhu just covered the jade seal, and saw the guards outside the palace come in, and said: "Your Majesty, the left Changshi of the Jingwang Mansion in Qizhou asks to see you."

Zhu Youzhu frowned, "Xuan." ”

When he raised his eyes, Zhu Youzhu really saw that Zuo Changshi led five good-looking women in.

After Zuo Changshi finished saluting with the five women, he said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates will enter the palace to offer five beautiful women, and I hope Your Majesty will accept them."

Zhu Youzhu didn't answer directly, but looked at Zhang Yu sideways, "Zhang Yu, do you think their looks are comparable to the queen?"

Zhang Yu looked sideways and shook his head.

Zhu Youzhu picked up Mao Ying and approached, a smile flashed between his eyebrows, standing in front of the five women, picking up their chins one by one with the top of Mao Ying, and said separately: "This eye is not as smart as Mao'er, this nose is not as tall as Mao'er, this mouth is not as small as Mao'er, and this eyebrow is not as delicate as Mao'er."

He walked up to the woman closest to Zuo Changshi, pretended to look at it carefully, and said, "Well, it's quite delicate."

That Zuo Changshi smiled when he heard this, a little honest, Zhu Youzhu glanced at him sideways, and said, "It's a pity, it's still not as good-looking as Zhu'er."

Zhang Yu and everyone in the palace couldn't help but sneer when they heard this, but Zuo Changshi was sleepy, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that the queen is beautiful, if you can match her, you have to work hard."

"So Uncle Huang is not sincere, just find a few vulgar fans and give them to me, you go back and tell him that he is not as good-looking as the queen, so don't send them to me again in the future."

Zhu Youjiao's words are really shrewd, although there are countless beauties in the world, but there are a few people who dare to boast that they are more beautiful than the queen.

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Youzhu saw Zuo Changshi speak, hurriedly interrupted, and said to himself, "What's your name?"

Zuo Changshi was slightly stunned, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, subordinate Fan Liang."

"Fan Liang?" Zhu Youzhu nodded, then looked at the woman in front of him, and said, "You go back and thank Uncle Huang on my behalf, I accepted his long history."

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Youzhu turned around and walked towards the bookcase, and immediately answered: "Okay, you all go back, Fan Liang doesn't have to go."

"Yes."

Fan Liang saw that the five women were gone, and finally stopped talking, Zhu Youzhu walked to You Tai, paused, and said: "Uncle, I see that you are old, and I can't bear to let you be tired, you might as well go back to the princess's mansion and take your money to live idle, and in the future, Fan Liang will guard the Qianqing Palace on your behalf."

You Tai was immediately stunned, and it took a long time to react, bow down, and say, "Yes, my subordinates will retire."

"Fan Liang, you should also go out and guard."

"Yes."

The two of them had just left the Qianqing Palace not far away, You Tai took advantage of Fan Liang's unpreparedness, and suddenly drew his sword and swung it at him, his eyes were clearly full of killing intent, Fan Liang saw the situation and hurriedly took a step back, taking advantage of this evasion to draw out his saber and raise it above his head to resist.

You Tai was full of strength, Fan Liang saw that the situation was not good, and he also swept his leg and kicked him in the abdomen, You Tai leaned back, almost didn't stand firm, he suffered a lot, calmly put the knife back into the sheath, and Fan Liang smiled heartily on his back, and said: "The young man is really good kung fu!"

Fan Liang straightened his waist, clenched his fists with both hands, and said to him in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Captain Youdu, admit it!"

After saying that, Fan Liang turned around and left, You Tai looked at his figure, and felt quite emotional in his heart, only to blame Longqing for messing around and mistaking his good future, otherwise, how could Fan Liang, a stinky boy, replace him now.

Zhu Youzhu saw that You Tai and Fan Liang had already left, so he wrote down and added to Fang Cai's notebook: "If the king intends to be sincere, I have already made up my mind, and I don't have to worry about it." Only Uncle Liangzhi. ”

At the end, Zhu Youzhu closed the notebook, put it aside, and said to Zhang Yu: "Keep it for the time being, and send it in a few days."

Zhang Yu was originally puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood his intentions and agreed: "Yes."

It turned out that Zhu Youzhu wanted the music book to arrive in Qizhou with the five women, and the five women took a carriage on the return trip, which was extremely slow, but the performance book was sent to the fast horse and whip, and it would definitely be delivered in five days.

"What time is it?"

"Youshi", Zhang Yu bowed down slightly and said, "Your Majesty should go to Kunning Palace to dine with the queen."

Zhu Youzhu bowed slightly, then walked to the palace gate and stopped, looked back at the people standing in the hall and said, "Don't spread what I say today to the queen's ears!"

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Your Majesty, everything you just said is a compliment to Niangniang, why can't you let Niangniang know?"

Zhu Youzhu glanced at him and said casually: "I'm afraid that she will be proud."

Speaking of which, what Zhu Youzhu is really afraid of is that Zhang Junzhu will hate King Jing.
