The Ming Empire has not yet reached the time of sunset, and it still has a strong national strength.

After all, Hongzhi Zhongxing is not really a waste of fame.

Since the first year of Zhengde, so many big officials and gentry have been attacked by cases such as anti-party cases, and the finances of the central court have also been greatly supplemented.

It stands to reason that even the little prince, a strong man who unifies Monan and is about to unify all of Mongolia, is not enough to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

But that's right.

Zhu Houzhao did not alleviate his contempt for the little prince.

The little prince has ambitions, Zhu Houzhao himself has no ambitions, just like the little prince rebuilding Dayuan, he also wants to eat the little prince and wants to own the entire land outside the Guan, including the population there.

Ma Wensheng left Beijing again and went to the three sides, continued to coordinate border affairs, prevented the little prince from entering the mainland, and encircled the capital first.

Xu Jin, the secretary of the military department, is still in charge of the Beijing division, responsible for dispatching the world's money and grain, and recruiting brave soldiers to enrich the border army.

Jiao Fang and Wang Hua, the first assistants of the cabinet, as well as Wang Hua and Xu Jing, the head of the household department, began to prepare for the resumption of the opening of the law of collecting grain and salt.

Although the Ming Dynasty of Zhengde for four years seems to be very calm.

But the hearts of the rulers of the entire Ming Empire were not at peace, even the people who knew the inside story were not at peace.

Under the propaganda led by the Emperor Ming Pao and the Second Chamber.

More people began to know what the upper rulers of the empire were doing, what they were anxious about, and they began to care about the fate of the empire.

They knew that the Emperor had killed the son of a northern Tartar leader in order to avenge the common people, but the Empire was in danger of being reprisaled.

"Guards have been strengthened in all parts of the border towns, troops have been increased in all passes, and sentry cavalry has been released everywhere even if they don't collect at night! The merchants who went out to trade abroad also had their eyes covert, and they had already mobilized 300,000 stone grain from the Huguang area into Beijing in case of emergency! ”

After Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, reported to Zhu Houzhao the latest matters of the Ministry of War, he asked again: "Your Majesty!" Chen dared to ask, Your Majesty, do you really want to go to Datong? ”

"That's right, go to Datong, I want to organize hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen to destroy the little prince! Jiao Fang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Jin, the master of ceremonies, will go with me, and you and Wang Hua will sit in Beijing! ”

Zhu Houzhao said.

"Hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen? Your Majesty, when did Daming have hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen", Xu Jin was a little puzzled.

"Daming naturally doesn't have so many iron horses, but there are still some in the whole world."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, he believes that the little prince is not only an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and the other tribes may not be willing to sit back and watch the little prince become bigger, and he believes that it is not a problem to organize an alliance with the imperial prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

And if you unite other tribes outside the entire pass to attack the little prince, it is naturally not a problem to organize his hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen.

Xu Jin didn't say anything more, and he didn't stop Zhu Houzhao, he knew that his emperor was not an emperor who was only satisfied with governing the people in the Guannei, he wanted to show his eloquence and create his own imperial cause.

Zhu Houzhao left the cabinet and the celebrant duty room, and prepared to go back to the inner courtyard of his palace to rest and rest.

With the six ministries of the cabinet almost all reformist officials, now he, the emperor, does not have to stay in the cabinet all the time and control the power with the celebrant supervisor, Zhu Houzhao believes that these officials will handle daily government affairs in line with the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the Ming court and the people.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he had been in Daming for five years.

Suddenly.

He almost forgot that he was still a man from the afterlife, 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 imagined that this place would become his home.

What Zhu Houzhao didn't expect now was that he himself was only nineteen years old now!

However, Zhu Houzhao is unimaginable, he is only nineteen years old, and he has become an awe-inspiring emperor, even if he glances at it slightly, the eunuchs in the palace wall next to him will be frightened as if they have lost their souls.

Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang here.

It is still the place where Zhu Houzhao often comes after dealing with the government, and the meals and the usual royal gatherings are all here.

Zhu Houzhao's queen and even the two concubines will often accompany Empress Dowager Zhang here.

However, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's two relatives do not come to Cining Palace often now.

According to Zhu Houzhao learned from Yan Song, the knowledge of navigation that these two uncles had mastered was advancing day by day, and after Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, found Zheng He's relevant materials for going to the West from the Ministry of War, which were transferred to Beijing Normal University for safekeeping, these two people looked through and looked at them, saying that in the future, they would go to find the sweet potatoes with a yield of dozens of stones per mu mentioned in the books of Beijing Normal University.

Zhu Houzhao is very pleased with this, these royal relatives are actually the most troublesome class for him, one by one they have countless land wealth but do not pay taxes, not to mention, even if they commit crimes, they are too ruthless, if they can do something right, it is naturally good, lest they have to come to a sixth relative and forcibly dispose of it, which sometimes makes Empress Dowager Zhang sad and affects the relationship between mother and son.

There was a saying in later generations that a woman with a younger brother could not marry, which in fact also reflected a family phenomenon in which an older sister doted on her younger brother.

Empress Dowager Zhang is a demon of Volde, Zhu Houzhao knows this, otherwise Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling would not have become marquis directly.

Now that she knows that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's two younger brothers are studying and studying, although Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't know what books her two younger brothers are reading, she is still in a good mood, and she feels that her two younger brothers are finally promising, and she is naturally in a good mood, and she has forgotten that day when Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, forced her to kill Ma Wensheng.

Home and everything is prosperous.

Zhu Houzhao is very pleased that the current royal family can still live in harmony.

However, as the four years of Zhengde are about to pass, there is one thing that makes Empress Dowager Zhang feel a little worried, that is, the issue of Zhu Houzhao's heirs.

The queen has never been pregnant!

Zhu Houzhao also knew that the imperial heir was a very important thing in this era, and even had strong political significance.

It is now four years of Zhengde, and if he has no more children, it will undermine the confidence of the entire reformist officials.

Looking back at the shadow behind him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile, wondering if he would directly ask for her body tonight.

Then I looked at the other two delicate people who were hanging their heads and fingers, and wondered if I wanted even two.

This increases the chances of getting pregnant.

"Su Guifei, Liu Guifei, tonight, you stay in the Qianqing Palace! No, from now on, you all stay in the Qianqing Palace! Until I leave the capital! ”

Zhu Houzhao said a word, and the two girls unconsciously turned red at the root of their ears, and their chins said yes, and they also guessed what Zhu Houzhao's words implied.

Queen Xia suddenly stood on her feet, looked at Zhu Houzhao, who had already climbed the stairs, and wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but she didn't open her mouth after all.

By the time the four of them had finished washing, the palace ladies who served had all retreated, and even the eunuchs on duty had covered the Zhu Gate.

Queen Xia had consciously lay down on the inside of the dragon collapse first, and as she grew older, she now didn't dare to lie down and sleep, instinctively a little shy, only showing her back, facing Zhu Houzhao's side.

But because she has grown up, she is now gradually understanding people, although she has not experienced it firsthand, but she also knows that some unspeakable things will happen between men and women.

Tonight, Emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly stopped Su Guifei and Liu Guifei to stay in the Qianqing Palace together, which made her feel a little surprised, and she also felt a little different from the past.

Listening to the sound of stripping behind her, Queen Xia pursed her lips, she felt that someone was approaching her body.

She instinctively tensed and didn't dare to move.

Zhu Houzhao was indeed approaching Empress Xia, he was now naked, and after getting on the bed, he touched his hand through Empress Xia's tulle clothes.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao looked back at Su Guifei and Liu Guifei, who were still standing in place and restless, blushing like apples:

"Come up, take off all your clothes, like me!"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao turned around and got closer to Queen Xia, who straightened up nervously.

Early the next morning.

The autumn sunlight shone in from outside the Zhu Gate, and the dappled sunlight sprinkled on the four bodies that were intertwined.

The eunuch who listened to the sound of Jiaoyin snorting all night last night was still yawning.

But Zhu Houzhao had already woken up in Su Guifei's breasts, looking at the queen and the two concubines who were broken by himself one by one under the golden gauze tent, he just shook his head a little dizzy, thinking that it was good to be young and strong.

Ruyi walked over, looked at the scene in front of him, and only said: "Serve Your Majesty to bathe!" ”

When Zhu Houzhao came back from the morning exercise again, the queen and the two concubines seemed to be more charming overnight, and Qiu Boli suddenly had some content, instead of just being shy and innocent.

In the rest of the days, Zhu Houzhao began an absurd and nonsensical imperial life.

Zhengde four years ago, he didn't taste the taste of this room, so naturally he didn't know the taste of the inside, but now that he tastes the things of men and women for the first time, he is naturally bone-eaten, relentless, greedy and happy, and does not know the geometry of the world.

Not today.

Tomorrow is not coming.

The day after tomorrow is still not the day!

It wasn't until the fourth day that Zhu Houzhao came to the room with the celebrant and the cabinet.

After all, tomorrow is the day to leave Beijing and go to Datong, he can't be lazy anymore, although the flowers are good, after all, it is not a place for men to realize their ambitions.

Jiao Fang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and secretly sighed in his heart that he didn't have the energy to enjoy this blessing now, he was already too old to be greedy for joy because of his youth, so that even if he took medicine, he couldn't last long.

Liu Jin was even more unhappy, and regretted his choice back then.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao had to say: "I admit that I have indulged a little in the past few days, but you can't wait to show such a depressed appearance, if you want to advise, you can advise, it's hard for me to kill you." ”

"Your Majesty misunderstood! The minister is not depressed, and the minister does not have His Majesty to advise, His Majesty is fierce and fierce, which is the blessing of the society and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Jiao Fang smiled awkwardly.

"That's what the ministers think too", Liu Jin also smiled awkwardly.

"In that case, let's get down to business, is there anything important that needs to be reported", Zhu Houzhao said and began to flip through the notes.
