Chapter 236: After the Emperor's Drama in the Inner Court

The warm spring has arrived, and the milky fragrance of the Royal Garden is overflowing.

Zhu Houzhao's wife, the current queen of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Shi, was taking out bottles of yogurt in glass bottles from the freezer.

Ice is made using the principle that calcium nitrate cools down when dissolved in water.

Daming is now able to make nitric acid, and there is a special government-run nitric acid factory, so it is not difficult to make calcium nitrate.

The use of calcium nitrate to make ice storage is naturally to provide a low-temperature preservation environment for yogurt.

The yogurt is made by the queen herself, and it is fermented by fermenting the group of symbiotic bacteria of lactobacillus and Streptococcus thermophilus isolated from the plate line, and then mixed with fresh fruits, such as strawberries, etc., which is now the nutritious cheese that the Ming court has begun to eat, and has been officially promoted to the people.

Han people have always eaten grains, and the spleen and stomach are intolerant of big fish and meat, and the appearance of yogurt can improve the digestion and nutrient absorption of Han people.

Queen Xia distributed the yogurt to the little prince Zhu Zailei: "Go to school after eating, don't fail the arithmetic and make your father angry." ”

"Thank the mother, but the mother, the equation is really difficult."

The prince Zhu Zailei pouted, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Houzhao in the room, afraid that Zhu Houzhao would hear it.

"No matter how hard it is, you have to learn!"

Empress Xia said and walked into the palace with a bottle of yogurt, and told Gong E to remember to send the little prince Zhu Zailei to the palace school, and then walked to the place where Zhu Houzhao rested, however, when she was about to call His Majesty, Empress Xia heard Gu Dayong, the eunuch of Xichang, talking back to Emperor Zhu Houzhao:

"Your Majesty, now there are many slanderous discussions against the queen's mother, saying that because the queen's mother is not virtuous and her feet are long, she is jealous of the world's foot-binding daughter, so you have made the world prohibit foot-binding because of your majesty, and even the former minister's left attendant Lu Zhaoji slandered the queen's mother for not being virtuous, Your Majesty, you don't know."

"These people are not honest after resigning, Xichang continues to stare at them, if there is a crime, be sure to expose it!"

After Zhu Houzhao said this, he asked Gu Dayong to retreat.

Queen Xia couldn't help frowning slightly, walked in, and asked:

"Your Majesty, can you tell your concubines how the queen is considered virtuous?"

Although she is the emperor, Xia Xiang'er has been in the palace since she was fourteen years old, but she has never experienced the wind and rain outside, Zhu Houzhao also gave her enough tolerance and freedom, and did not impose the etiquette of this era on her, so that she gradually forgot to pay attention to the queen's reputation, so that now when she heard Gu Da say that people from the outside world said that she was not a virtuous queen, her simple and leisurely heart began to have some insecurity, so she had to ask.

"The queen with salt", Zhu Houzhao said with a smile and asked Queen Xia to sit beside him.

Today's Empress Xia is twenty-four years old, and she has been by Zhu Houzhao's side for ten years, and has grown from a shy and silent cardamom girl to a soft and plump mature young woman, at this time, as soon as she sat next to Zhu Houzhao, she showed the peach peak that could not even be covered by the phoenix robe in front of Zhu Houzhao, and the pink face was slightly angry, frowning, obviously Zhu Houzhao's answer made her feel that His Majesty the Emperor did not answer her words very seriously, but she did not dare to be angry with Zhu Houzhao, and had to put aside the question of the queen's sage in her heart for the time being, handed the yogurt to Zhu Houzhao, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please use it!" ”

Zhu Houzhao had just eaten breakfast, and it was the time of spring warm, so after taking the yogurt, he said: "I want to eat differently", and immediately said to Queen Xia.

Empress Xia's face was slightly red, and she twisted and pinched: "Your Majesty, this is even more unvirtuous!" ”

"Between you and me, sweet is the best taste, no matter how salty it is in other people's mouths", Zhu Houzhao said with a smile and gave the female officer a look, and the female official understood and closed the door and window.

And Queen Xia stretched out her jade hand to take off the phoenix robe, and for a while the red glow fell to the ground layer by layer, revealing only the light of the day, and Queen Xia poured the newly made yogurt of the Ming Dynasty on the snow-white skin: "Your Majesty, it's so cold!" ”

"I'm here to warm you!"

Zhu Houzhao came over as he spoke.

……

After leaving the inner court, Zhu Houzhao still licked his lips, only felt that the taste of yogurt was still there, and even mixed with a trace of strawberry aroma and women's body fragrance, no matter how the outside world looked at himself and his queen, but in Zhu Houzhao's view, his queen was not satisfied, virtuous or not only he knew, which matter to those civil officials and doctors, they asked their wives to observe etiquette and etiquette, and asked their concubines to be profligate enough, and the result was either their wives killed their concubines with etiquette, Either he believes in the concubine's slander and divorces his wife, no matter what, after all, the husband and wife will not be harmonious, and the house will be restless.

But Zhu Houzhao couldn't let the literati doctors slander himself and the queen behind his back so unscrupulously, Zhu Houzhao felt that he had to let the literati and doctors feel the taste of being slandered and viciously evaluated.

Thereupon.

Zhu Houzhao summoned Tang Bohu again and asked Tang Bohu to organize people to comment on the current day of the corporal doctors, and try to expose their ugly faces.

As long as he is a ruler, there are few clean ones, and the emperor may not dare to act nonsense because he is the lord of the world, and he is easy to be stared at, but the officials, especially the literati and doctors who have always loved romance, will only be more dirty and unbearable.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao believes that it is naturally not difficult for Tang Bohu and others to blacken these literati and doctors.

Zhu Houzhao not only wanted Tang Bohu and others to manipulate public opinion to expose the ugly faces of these literati and doctors and blacken them, but he also wanted to make the most truthful evaluation of the character of these people in official historical materials.

"Lin Hanlin, how happened to the "Records of the Jinshi of the Filial Piety Dynasty" that I asked you to compile?"

Zhu Houzhao summoned Lin Kui, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, on this day, and asked.

Lin Kui replied: "Your Majesty, eighty percent of the compilation has been compiled, and the compilation can be completed the year after tomorrow." ”

"You can read the list of a few Jinshi to me," Zhu Houzhao ordered.

Lin Kui received the order, and then read it: "Yu Tai, the 114th Tongjin Shi of the 15th year of the Hongzhi Kedian Examination of the Third Class was born, a native of Wuxi in the south, the word Guochang, and the number Zhengzhai. At the beginning of the household, the officials participated in the politics of Shandong. Also, in the south of Biyuan City, he lived in seclusion in Fangzhou and died in ten years. Good at painting, happy with poetry. "Youfangzhou Manxing Collection". ”

"Wait! I remember very well that this Yu Tai was dismissed and returned to his hometown because he was implicated in the corruption case, when the examination law was first implemented, the 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver that had been allocated to Shandong to buy grain due to the great hunger in Huaiyang were only purchased back 100,000 stones, and even half of them were sand and gravel.

Such a big corrupt official, why don't you record his moral corruption, only remember what poetry collections he left behind when he went home to build a private garden, and lived in seclusion in Suzhou. If the people of later generations look at it, don't they still think that he Yu Tai is a romantic gentleman with different currents and filths, so he only returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, and even made outstanding contributions to the architectural history of my China? ! ”

Zhu Houzhao asked very seriously.

"Your Majesty is angry, all the history has been recorded like this, the merits and demerits are only to be commented on by future generations, but in order to take care of the reputation of this dynasty, basically the scholars and doctors of this dynasty are all to remember their merits, not to record their treachery, so as not to make future generations of scholars shameful of this dynasty, and the original master of the Hanlin Academy (Lu Zhaoji) also specially instructed that Yu Tai is his nephew, should not remember his greed for ink, the minister thought, the officials have not been impeached for greed for ink, and naturally do not need to remember their greed for ink", Hanlin Lin Kui replied.

"Ridiculous! The monarch's life, and it is still recorded, why is the civil official not truthfully recorded, so it is not intended to mislead the people of later generations, I am not afraid of what the people of later generations will think of this dynasty, if this dynasty is full of historical materials are loyal ministers and good generals, then why will it die?

Could it be that the king should be blamed for this! How can a king alone cause the world to fall! Give me a real record! There must be no spread pool! Greedy for ink, seizing the people's land, abusing and killing the army and the people, all the civil officials who committed these things are written down by me, and there must be a review of the dynasty, be sure to be detailed, otherwise, the people of later generations will think that I am too cruel, and think that the officials in the world are all moral gentlemen, but I don't know that it is because these corrupt officials and cruel officials are too cruel to harm the people, so that the emperor has to be cruel! ”

Zhu Houzhao said and noticed this Yu Tai's record text again, and remembered that Lin Hanlin mentioned Lu Zhaoji just now, so he snorted coldly:

"It's this Lu Zhaoji again! If it is his nephew, then he has to record it well, write clearly in the record of his nephew Yu Tai in the big corruption case in Shandong that year, and write clearly how his nephew participated in colluding with officials in Huaiyang, Shandong and Huaiyang to embezzle the people's fat and ointment, don't let any corrupt official be mistaken for a good official by future generations, and let them stink for 10,000 years! With this as a warning to the people of the world, I always thought that you were an honest and honest person, and the historical events you remembered would not be biased, but I didn't expect that you would remember good and not evil, I am very disappointed! I will let the officials demote you to a higher level, and next time I will listen to the words of other powerful people and change the official historical materials without permission, I will deal with you strictly! ”

"Obey! Obey the order! ”

Hanlin Lin Kui didn't expect that His Majesty would be so dissatisfied with the list of Jinshi that he was responsible for compiling, and he reprimanded himself, so he was naturally a little frightened, and hurriedly responded twice.

Zhu Houzhao knew that Lin Kui was honest, relatively cowardly, and very strict with the rules, so he could understand Lin Kui's behavior of recording civil official deeds according to the tradition, so he did not punish him severely, but he still reprimanded him, and at the same time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but remember that Lin Kui was also the recorder of his own living notes, so he couldn't help asking: "How did you record my daily life, and show me what you remember today." ”

"Yes!"

Lin Kui responded, and then read it: "Bingyin, the emperor can't afford to sleep, the emperor's eldest son can't afford to ask for peace, and then offer a new yogurt to the emperor, meet the governor of the West Factory, when the West Factory Governor comes out, after the emperor plays in the warm pavilion, the yogurt is fragrant, and the people are more fragrant......"

"Enough!" Zhu Houzhao shouted.
