Chapter 423 Family Affairs
Zhang Huangyan received Zhu Hongsan's order and quickly wrote the edict, showed it to Zhu Hongsan, and then used the seal, ready to send it to the cabinet.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhang Huangyan, who was writing at the desk, and asked: "Xuanzhu, now that there is a vacancy in the Military Aircraft Department, who is suitable for you?" ”
Zhang Huangyan heard the emperor ask himself, his heart moved, he wanted to recommend himself, that literati didn't want to be promoted? But Zhang Huangyan's ears rang Chen Zilong's advice, and Zhang Huangyan felt that it was better to keep a low profile.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have been in Guangzhou for less than two months, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have not recognized all of them, and they really don't know who will be the chief military aircraft.
Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied when he saw Zhang Huangyan say this, if this guy recommended himself, it would be a bit overwhelming.
"Hmmm! It just so happens that Xuan is going to the cabinet, you are writing a will, Baochang County, Xiongfu in the south of the Ming Dynasty, has promoted Chen Zi to the chief military aircraft, so that he will rush to Guangzhou as soon as he receives the order, and accompany me on the northern expedition with you! ”
Zhang Huangyan nodded hurriedly, bowed his head and wrote another holy decree, and went out to send it to the cabinet after using the seal.
It's noon now, and Zhu Hongsan needs to take a break after a busy morning. Originally, at noon, Zhu Hongsan was just taking a nap in the lounge behind his study, but at noon today, Zhu Hongsan wanted to go back to the back to find his second wife, Ma Ruyan. After Ma Xiaofang's death, after the political struggle, Ma Ruyan was named the imperial concubine, and Ma Ruyan became the master of the harem without the queen.
Zhu Hongsan was probably the richest warlord in the late Ming Dynasty, not counting the mines, those factories in Dongguan could earn Zhu Hongsan millions of taels of silver every year. However, Zhu Hongsan is so rich, and he is probably the warlord who has had the hardest time during this time period. is a little stronger than Zhu Youlang, you don't have to be as upside down as him, but there is definitely no Zhu Youlang in terms of food and clothing.
Because Zhu Hongsan wanted to expand the army, the annual commercial tax of the imperial court was not enough at all, and only Zhu Hongsan used his own factory to subsidize it, and most of the annual profits were filled into the bottomless pit of the army. In this way, the cabinet ministers of the stinky old nine were not satisfied, and forced him to hand over the factory more than once. Zhu Hongsan scolded angrily every time, these grandsons are too unhuman, they are about to eat and have the idea of beating their own factories, if it weren't for these grandsons to govern the country, Zhu Hongsan really wanted to send troops to raid their homes. These guys are rich themselves, and they have their own ideas.
Zhu Hongsan was even more in the mood when he saw the appearance of his harem and copied their house, and looked at what he looked like. In order to raise money to equip the new army, Zhu Hongsan's palace covers an area of only 20 acres, that is, less than 200,000 square meters, and a large fitness square in later generations will be larger than this area. You must know that this does not belong to the palace, and a third of it will be used as a cabinet office, originally six departments are also here, but after increasing to thirteen, there is really no place, all let Zhu Hongsan out of the palace, and there is also a regiment of 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Division, as well as the Jinyi Wei Dahan general standing guard, and more than 300 eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for cleaning the harem, almost 3,000 people live in less than 100,000 square meters, which is really crowded.
As for the residence of the harem concubines, it is even more simple, except for the queen Ma Xiaofang, who has a small building, and the imperial concubine Ma Ruyan who has an independent courtyard, the other concubines are two or three people living together. However, Chongzhen's princess Zhu Yujiao has her own independent yard like Ma Ruyan, which is completely Zhu Yujiao's status is precious, and Zhu Hongsan's special treatment for her.
Seeing that his palace was so shabby, Zhu Hongsan could no longer suppress his anger, and now there was no one around except the eunuchs, Zhu Hongsan opened his mouth and scolded.
"These bastard ministers, banma day, a bitch raising drops, they eat and drink spicy food one by one, pick and force the horses, let Lao Tzu starve and be poor, wait for Lao Tzu's Northern Expedition to succeed, and kill these old bastards!" Zhu Hongsan was really angry, and he scolded Hu Guangtu when he was excited.
Cao Fang, who was following on the side, was a native of Beizhili, and he could understand the official dialect, but he couldn't understand this kind of Huguang dialect, but probably Qi could guess what it meant, and it seemed that the emperor was in a hurry.
Cao Fang is the emperor's domestic slave, so he naturally stands on the emperor's side, not to mention that these ministers are also excessive, they make slaves and maids one by one, and their family assets are huge, and when they encounter a place where they use money, they let the emperor pay for it himself, Cao Fang is also very angry.
"Emperor, or the slave will take Dongchang to raid the homes of a few ministers and give the emperor his anger!"
Zhu Hongsan sighed, he was angry just now, but he couldn't do anything about copying the minister's house. It's not that I don't dare to do it, it's that now when I need these stinky old nine to work hard, it's really a bit unauthentic to raid the house, so forget it!
"Forget it, I'm going to use these stinky old nine now, and I'll talk about it later!"
Cao Fang also knew that Zhu Hongsan was just talking, and when he heard that Zhu Hongsan was different from him, he hurriedly bowed and retreated.
The entire harem is not very big, and it is not as big as Zhu Hongsan's own Zhuangzi when he was in Huguang. So Zhu Hongsan soon came to Ma Ruyan's residence. Ma Ruyan said that it was an independent small courtyard of his own, in fact, it was a main house with two wings, the main room was Ma Ruyan's residence, and one of the wings was the residence of Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin.
Zhu Hongsan, the second son, is thirteen years old, and the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the prince should go out of the palace at the age of twelve to live by himself, because his father had no money to build a house for him, Zhu Jiang had to live with his mother Ma Ruyan. However, Zhu Jiang was not in the palace today, and only Ma Ruyan and a few palace maids and eunuchs came out to greet him.
Ma Ruyan is the same age as Zhu Hongsan, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today. There are thirty-year-old women in this era who are grandmothers, so Ma Ruyan completely belongs to older women.
However, Zhu Hongsan's favorite ones are the royal * sister and the * wife, so Ma Ruyan has become more and more diligent in the past few months. Because of Zhu Hongsan's moisture, Ma Ruyan became more and more charming, exuding the taste of a mature woman.
Although Ma Ruyan is a concubine, she has received traditional education since she was a child, and she is much more ladylike than the crazy Ma Xiaofang, plus Ma Ruyan is wearing the imperial concubine's costume, which makes Zhu Hongsan feel of uniform temptation.
Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Ruyan saluting him, revealing his snow-white chest, and his heart was moved. Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and pulled up Ma Ruyan, and said in a low voice: "Little slut, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm getting more and more enchanting!" ”
Ma Ruyan frowned and said in a low voice: "Please respect yourself, Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Hongsan liked this kind of expression of the virgin, and when he saw Ma Ruyan like this, he laughed and said: "Self-respecting hanging, you have seen it all over your body and let me respect myself!" After speaking, Zhu Hongsan reached into Ma Ruyan's full chest and rubbed it, Ma Ruyan didn't dare to resist, only Ren Zhu Hongsan was light.
Zhu Hongsan thought that this was Ma Ruyan resisting himself, but in fact, he was wrong. Ma Ruyan has lived with him for more than ten years, and he has two children, where he still doesn't know that he is a bastard? Ma Ruyan is Chinese New Year's Eve this year, she is already an older woman, she can use any means in order to fix her favor, she has long known that her bastard husband is not a thing, and she likes to abuse women the most, so all these motherly worlds and Yongyong luxuries are pretended to attract Zhu Hongsan. But Zhu Hongsan likes this set, and it can be regarded as Zhu Hongsan's dead end!
Ma Ruyan is middle-aged, it is the age of a wolf and a tiger, and he was already looking forward to it, but he was teased by Zhu Hongsan in a few clicks. Ma Ruyan leaned on Zhu Hongsan's shoulder with silky eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of people here, let's go into the house!" ”
Hearing what his wife said, Zhu Hongsan could still bear it, picked up Ma Ruyan and walked into the house.
Zhu Hongsan was overworked in preparing for the Northern Expedition in the past few days, and he didn't last long, and after the incident, the palace maids and eunuchs entered the house to clean up.
Zhu Hongsan sat at the table and took a sip of herbal tea and asked, "What about the second child?" ”
Ma Ruyan knew that her husband was asking her second son Zhu Jiang, and replied: "Jiang'er went out of the city in the morning, saying that she was going to hunt in Baiyun Mountain outside the city!" ”
Zhu Hongsan likes this son very much, because the second son Zhu Jiang is the most like him, and another important reason is because of the prince, Zhu Jiang will definitely not be involved in the succession, as long as the prince is there, the Ma family will definitely not support the second candidate. It is precisely because there is no burden that Zhu Hongsan has complete father-son love for Zhu Jiang.
At this time, Ma Ruyan had already redressed with the help of the palace maid and the eunuch, and returned to the previous appearance of a virgin.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Ruyan's demeanor and laughed in his heart, and his mind restored her lewd appearance in bed just now.
"Like smoke, I have set the end of this month to go north to the south of Zhili, if there is no accident, I can take Yingtianfu at the end of the year, you can prepare at home in the next few months, and then we will all move to Nanjing!"
Ma Ruyan was also very happy to hear that he was going to Nanjing, after all, it is too hot here in Guangzhou, Ma Ruyan was born in Henan, which is much colder than the climate here in Guangdong, and it is really not suitable to go to Guangdong.
Ma Ruyan said lightly: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty a victory!" ”
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the court at home, it is enough to have a few gentlemen, you have to take care of the affairs in the palace, don't have any accidents, and you have to take care of a few pregnant women!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take care of my sisters! There is one more thing, the concubine doesn't know whether to talk about it or not! ”
"Say something, you and I are husband and wife, what are you afraid of!"
"That's right, Jiang'er is thirteen years old, and the concubine wants to ask His Majesty to arrange a marriage for him, which is better than being idle like now!"
"I didn't expect the second child to be thirteen years old, you and I are old!" Zhu Hongsan knew that Ma Ruyan's heirs were difficult, and he had already died a child before Zhu Jiang, so he doted on this son very much.
Zhu Hongsan asked, "Do you have any suitable candidates?" ”
"Your Majesty, I also asked Jiang'er, but he said that he had to choose his own marriage matters, but from ancient times to the present, there are those who choose their own marriage, and today's concubine just wants to ask His Majesty to talk about Jiang'er and arrange a marriage for him!"
When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he didn't expect that his son still had the concept of freedom to marry, not bad!
