Chapter 116: Choosing a Concubine for the King (Asking for Votes, Asking for Collection)
"What? Happy silly? Empress Zhang stretched out her hand and waved in front of Xiao Wu.
With the focus back in his eyes, Zhu Youzhen asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, who is the bride?" β
This evil old society is about to get married, and he doesn't even know who the bride is? I don't even know what my surname is, isn't this a typical blind marriage and dumb marriage?
"Hehe, Xiao Wu, do you still remember it? That's the portrait. Sister-in-law allows you to take a sneak peek. Empress Zhang pointed to the scroll on the table behind her and laughed.
"Which one is my sister-in-law?" Zhu Youzhen looked at the three scrolls on the table, embarrassed to reach out casually.
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Empress Zhang suddenly laughed and couldn't breathe, "That, that, which one?" Xiao Wu, those three are all, you can look at them casually. β
Is it that funny? Zhu Youzhen rolled his eyes at Empress Zhang.
All three, right? Will there be three more brides?
Thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen opened one casually.
What a picture of a lady with a pen.
The girl in the picture is beautiful, pure and lovely, holding a fan as if she wants to flutter butterflies. It's really eyebrow-raising and vivid.
This painting, this method, this ......
Well, Zhu Youzhen admits that he can't see the quality of the drawings at all. The girl in the painting is beautiful, will the real girl be like the one in the painting? Zhu Youzhen expressed a slight suspicion about this.
Chinese painting is not as realistic as the sketches of Westerners, and the person who paints them will have some artistic processing (that is, P pictures).
This portrait should have the behavior of a P-picture, right? I just hope P's isn't great.
Zhu Youzhen muttered quietly in his heart.
All three are brides, so let's open them all and take a look.
Zhu Youjian was very fast, and the three portraits given by Empress Zhang were lined up on the table by him.
Nima, sure enough, they are all paintings of ladies with fine brushwork.
The girls on the three paintings look almost the same, if it weren't for the differences in costumes and movements, Zhu Youzhen would still think they were the same person?
Well, Zhu Youzhen admitted again that he did have some slight face blindness. He always can't tell the difference between the portraits on the plane, and in his previous life, he often couldn't tell which star was when he watched TV.
"Little Wu, which one do you like?" Empress Zhang asked Zhu Youzhen's opinion, and her eyes flashed with unpredictable light.
Which one? This image of a P figure asks which one I like? Do I like that piece of paper?
Zhu Youzhen had obvious difficulties in choosing.
Seeing Queen Zhang's longing gossip eyes, Zhu Youzhen said casually: "The three that my sister-in-law chose are all very good, and I like them all." β
"I love it all!" Empress Zhang, who was about to say something, looked at her for a moment, "I like it all, then let's stay." β
All stayed?
Zhu Youzhen felt as if he had made a mistake.
Whatever, anyway, a sheep is driven, and a flock of sheep is also herded. In this era, men can have three wives and four concubines, which is probably the greatest benefit of the traverser. But can my little green body withstand it?
Zhu Youzhen thought worriedly.
Why isn't my groom's dress red?
Aren't all grooms in ancient times dressed in big red robes?
This is also where Zhu Youzhen is confused.
Anyway, since it's not red, let me dye it red! The blood of the scum should be red too, right?
In the study of King Xin's mansion, Zhu Youzhen looked at the file of Huangzhuang, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Look at it, look at it, big brother, are these minions still a little in awe?" Zhu Youzhen complained loudly and handed a personnel file about Huangzhuang to Zhu Youxiao.
The people in the dossier are fully worthy of the supreme title of scum, and what they are doing in Huangzhuang is completely intolerable.
In the eyes of those scumbags, the tenants of Huangzhuang may not even be as good as a dog.
For these scumbags, bullying men and women is a trivial matter, and it is not uncommon to take money and kill people.
What disgusted Zhu Youzhen the most was that they were so outrageous that they used naΓ―ve children to give eunuchs as a medicine to restore yang. What they have done has completely lost the bottom line of people, and they don't deserve to be called people at all!
It is true that art comes from life. In these imperial villages, Zhu Youzhen saw the darkest side of the Ming Dynasty.
Maybe Huangzhuang is really closed, and many of these scumbags are carried out in broad daylight, without any concealment. Are they really not afraid of the Ming King's Law, and they are not afraid of retribution?
If the king doesn't kill, I will kill; If God doesn't report it, then I'll report it.
Zhu Youzhen gritted his back molars and said fiercely in his heart. ("It's not my business.") - God's calm voice came to his head. οΌ
"Big brother, these minions rely on the majesty of my royal family to do such a thing that violates the principles of heaven and humanity, and they are not afraid of breaking the blessings of future generations?" Ignoring God, Zhu Youzhen shouted angrily at Zhu Youxiao.
Because of the content of the dossier, Zhu Youxiao, who was already frowning, didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Smack", Zhu Youxiao slapped his palm on the file, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "This group of minions that should be killed." β
The sky has changed.
In the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the Huangzhuang in the capital set off a storm of purge.
4. Of the 500 Zhuangzi, at least one-third of the Zhuangzi have been replaced with new stewards and eunuchs.
The personnel changes in Huangzhuang this time are not as simple as changing the leader. All the changes in the imperial estate, the old leadership has been swept away.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and all the eunuchs who were removed were killed with rods; The government school and the companion are all handed over to the East Factory. All the people involved in Zhuangzi were relegated to the lowest level of Zhuang slaves.
What is the power of thunder, this is the power of thunder!
In addition to coming to thank Grandpa Wei, the surviving stewards of the Huangzhuang all obediently surrendered to the Xinwang Mansion.
That young man is terrible, he is the real cannibal who doesn't spit out bones.
If it weren't for Gonggong Wei's reminder in advance, this time ......
Long live the master also listens too much to that little master, right? This grace, the blessed king of the year must be ashamed of himself, right?
The mystery of Thunder's anger was revealed in a drunken gaffe of Father-in-law Wei.
Gonggong Wei said: Your Majesty deeply hates those things that don't know what to do, and there is still a little bit of humanity in what they do. Those actions have detrimental the blessings of His Majesty's children and grandchildren.
Gonggong Wei's words made the stewards of the Huangzhuang everywhere even more trembling.
Oh, my God?
Your Majesty counted the premature deaths of the three Highnesses on their heads?
No wonder His Majesty is so furious.
Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. The world is really unhappy.
Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and this is God's retribution by His Majesty's hand!
The rumors of karma spread louder and louder in the imperial village, and even the managers of the imperial village outside Beijing quietly clamped their tails.
Who would dare to challenge the authority of the king again?
The Huangzhuang in the capital was dumbfounded.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Xinwang Mansion issued a series of instructions: to expand the cultivation of new crops, reduce or reduce unreasonable taxes that were overcharged, and reorganize the management structure of the Imperial Village. The Xinwang Mansion gradually established a series of strict and formalized management systems in Huangzhuang.
With the implementation of the instructions of His Royal Highness King Xin in the Imperial Village in the capital, the atmosphere of the Imperial Village in various parts of the capital has changed.
At least, the tenants of Huangzhuang can live in the world like individuals.
