Chapter II: Pro-Government
"The concubine respectfully invites the emperor to be sainte." In the past month, Zhu Youxiao has only seen Zhang Yan once, but when he first woke up from a serious illness, Zhu Youxiao has not seen her again in the following time.
Zhang Yan is the queen of Zhu Youxiao, one of the five great queens in ancient China, and is a very famous beauty in history. And according to records, Zhang Yan is definitely also a virtuous and virtuous woman.
"Zitong, come, sit down and say." Zhu Youxiao pointed to the position next to him and said. As for how to call Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao really can't remember clearly, the memory left to him by Zhu Youxiao last time is very vague, and it is instinct to keep it, for example, he can clearly express it in the language of this era, and can easily understand the language of this era, but anyway, it is definitely right to call Zhang Yan Zitong, this is an ordinary title of the emperor to the queen.
Zhang Yan sat beside Zhu Youxiao obediently, Zhu Youxiao looked at the legendary beauty in front of him so closely for the first time, it is indeed better to be famous than to meet, Zhang Yan is the top beauty in that era.
The system of selecting concubines in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the most demanding in all dynasties, which also created the harem of the Ming Dynasty to really gather the top beauties of this era, and the Ming Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty went to North Korea many times to choose concubines, bringing a large number of Korean beauties to the Ming Dynasty, which may also be a reason why the Korean beauty industry is so developed in later generations.
Most of the beauties were selected to go to China, and the quality of the rest can be imagined.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Zhang Yan was looked at by Zhu Youxiao so squintly for a while, and she finally couldn't help but call softly.
Zhu Youxiao held back for nearly a month, not because he didn't want to, but because Zhu Youxiao's father Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo was too much in this aspect, he only became the emperor for a month and hung up, this is the famous "January Son of Heaven" in history, Zhu Youxiao's thin body bones, if he indulges it, he believes that it is a matter of the month, so he puts exercise in a very important position.
Now that Zhang Yan is sitting next to him, the fragrance on her body is like a green medicine, and she has been holding it for nearly a month, which inevitably makes him have some thoughts.
Eating the marrow knows the taste, this idiom Zhu Youxiao feels is used to describe this matter. This kind of thing is not exempt even to saints, and Zhu Youxiao, a mortal, is even more irresistible.
Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses when Zhang Yan shouted like this, and he couldn't help but blush, "Zitong, what are you looking for me?" ”
"The concubine is attached to the emperor's body, I haven't seen the emperor for nearly a month, and I came to see the emperor today." Zhang Yan said softly.
"Zitong is bothered, you have to pay attention to your body yourself." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Yan was squeezed out by the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian in the palace, and her only son was killed by the two of them, and now she was mentioned by Zhu Youxiao, she felt miserable in her heart, tears swirled in her eyes, and they almost flowed down.
Looking at Zhang Yan's expression, Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhang Yan had a very hard time in the palace, and Zhu Youxiao had a very mixed life in the past, and his children were either killed by the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian, or they died, and the child in Zhang Yan's belly was secretly framed by the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian, resulting in stillbirth, and finally gave birth to a stillborn. He comforted Zhang Yan and said: "I know what happened in the palace, you can rest assured that I will never let them go." ”
It is really not difficult for Zhu Youxiao to deal with Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, even if Wei Zhongxian is powerful later, Chongzhen can easily deal with Wei Zhongxian, not to mention that the current Wei Zhongxian is far inferior to that period, and his eunuch party has just begun to take shape. Zhu Youxiao has also been considering whether to move Wei Zhongxian for a month, after all, the eunuch party is the most effective means to deal with the civilian clique.
In the end, Zhu Youxiao still decided to move Wei Zhongxian, the civil official group is actually not as terrible as imagined, even if it is the Donglin Party, there are many loyal people, not to mention that even in those developed countries in later generations, it is the literati who hold the state power, but now in the Ming Dynasty, the civilian official group has been corrupted, and the status of the military attache is too low, now that he is here, what he has to do is to change these status quo.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao still understands the truth that it is difficult to do.
"Immediately pass on the Jinyi Guard's commander and the celebrant to seal the eunuch." Zhu Youxiao said he would do it.
"The concubine will retire first." Zhang Yan realized what Zhu Youxiao was going to do, and she got up and prepared to leave.
"No, you stay."
……
With a stick of incense, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wang Tiqian, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, hurried to the Qianqing Palace.
"Minister Luo Sigong (Wang Tiqian) knocks to see Your Majesty."
"Two flat." After the two of them were flattened, Zhu Youxiao continued, "Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka two brutalized my heirs and tried to poison me. I now order the two of you to investigate this matter thoroughly, and except for these two and their families, all the servants will be dealt with leniently, and the officials will remain in their original positions. ”
"Commandment." The two said in unison.
"Remember not to use this matter to implicate too much, Wang Tiqian, I know that you and Wei Zhongxian have a close relationship, I believe you this time, you don't want to disappoint me." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
"A slave deserves death." When Wang Tiqian heard Zhu Youxiao's words, his legs fell to the ground with weakness, and he kowtowed desperately.
"I don't need you to die, just get things done, don't let me down, you are still the eunuch of the palm print of the celebrant eunuch."
"The minions will not disappoint Your Majesty." Wang Tiqian raised his head and said with a bloody face.
Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to exterminate the eunuchs, and if he did, the Donglin party would completely occupy the entire imperial court overnight. This is extremely unfavorable to Zhu Youxiao's rule, and the Donglin Party is also mixed, especially several high-level leaders of the Donglin Party are also of bad character, for example, Wang Wenyan, the current cabinet secretary, is not a good bird, and he now needs the eunuch party to check and balance the Donglin Party.
……
After the two left, Zhang Yan knelt on the ground and said with tears streaming down her face: "The emperor is sage! ”
"Zitong, hurry up, I used to be confused, from today on, I will definitely be a good emperor." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Yan was still full of tears.
Zhu Youxiao has modern thinking, although he has been the emperor for a month, he has not established too many feudal hierarchical concepts, especially between husband and wife. He gently wiped the tears on Zhang Yan's face with his hand and said, "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry, it was wrong for me before, and it won't be in the future." ”
"The emperor is the son of today, there will be no mistake, but he has been deceived by the Hakka family and Wei Wei." Zhang Yan hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief and said.
