Chapter 385: The Maid
After dinner, Ouyang Tong said goodbye to Zhu Qiming, left Qiupu Xuan, went to take care of the matter of leaving Beijing, and played overnight, preparing to present it to Emperor Jingtai tomorrow morning, in order to seek success.
At the beginning of the year, the guards sent to the Longmenchuan camp and Ouyang Tong's family members have been taken back to Beijing and sent their families to Jiangnan, which is not a difficult thing for Ouyang Tong, but the difficult thing is that he has an official position, and he needs to pick it up before leaving.
Of course, with Zhu Qiming from the side, Emperor Jingtai would never embarrass a small Yuefu long history.
After Ouyang Tong left, Zhu Qiming took a bath, found out the "Seven Strategies for Pingyu", and re-read it from beginning to end. Thinking that the front line of Datong and Xuanfu is about defenselessness for the Warat people, it is not difficult for the Tartar thieves to penetrate into the Ming Realm, and the defenders of Bauhinia Pass may be difficult to resist the offensive of the Warat Iron Cavalry, and the defense of Juyong Pass does not seem to be worth looking forward to, the defenders there are already afraid of the enemy, and the strange situation that the emperor is trapped in the captive camp can be used as an excuse, just put on a defensive posture first, and then let the Tartar thieves enter the pass.
After all, the decisive battle at that time is destined to be launched under the city of Beijing.
He couldn't help but think of the "strong wall Qingye" that was often talked about by the original "Sanyang" and now Wang Zhi and others, and felt that this theory was ridiculous and ridiculous. Just imagine, how could so many people in Shuntianfu avoid entering the capital? The strong wall is okay, but Kiyono is completely empty talk!
There are countless people and property around the capital, once the Warat people besiege the capital, the inside and outside of the city are cut off, and then the Tartar thieves can obtain a steady stream of supplies by unscrupulous means, if so, I am afraid that the first to hold on to the soldiers and civilians in the city is afraid that it will not be able to hold on!
In the western suburbs of Beijing before this afternoon, Zhu Qiming and Yu Qian discussed this matter, and Zhu Qiming was deeply pleased with Yu Qian's insight.
Yu Qian said: "There are too many variables in the current situation, and it is really a good policy to close the nine gates and stick to the capital. Once he is in the city, our Ming army should rely on the city defense, put the army outside the nine gates, and fight with the captives, but seek a quick victory, and it is not appropriate to let the war last. ”
At that time, Zhu Qiming replied: "This is very good. After the Tumubao incident, the Ming Dynasty has not yet gained a firm foothold, the government order does not go out of the Forbidden City, and the military order does not go out of the Shuntian Mansion, indeed, as Yu Shangshu said, there are too many variables in between! I hope that at that time, there will be first, no flowers, and Ah Ra will have selfish intentions, and they will all have reservations, and there will be only tens of thousands of Tartar thieves who will go to the city of Beijing. If the three departments of Warat do their best to attack the Jingshi, they must find another good strategy, otherwise, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will suffer a big loss! ”
"Your Highness, please have tea."
A soft voice flashed in his ear, Zhu Qiming came back from his contemplation, turned his head and glanced at the figure in the candlelight, and saw that the round-faced maid was standing there with her hands down, her expression was slightly restrained. There was a sparkling white lamp on the bookcase in front of him.
Could it be that he shook his face when he entered Qiupu Xuan? Oh, no! Looking at the restrained round-faced maid, his mind finally returned to the usual chores.
I wanted to get along with the eight little maids for many days, I didn't say a few words, and I didn't let them get close when bathing and changing clothes, this estrangement was not intentional, but habitual.
I vaguely remember the scene of my childhood, when he was often surrounded by a large group of maids, and those bold maids always made fun of him with saltless girls, and by the time he could barely distinguish their appearance, they had grown up, and then ······ And then there was no then.
After many years, he stayed in the palace annex, and there were maids by his side, this time two palace maids, Yin'er and Quqing. After getting along for a long time, he gradually became acquainted with them, and then ······ And then there was no then.
And this autumn, Puxuan came to eight maids at once, all of them looked Zhouzheng, and they were in the cardamom years, but after all, they were from the palace of the king, and the screen of the palace of the king of the palace had been removed, and the internal government of the palace had been abolished, and all kinds of people had other appointments, and in a few days, these maids may change their identities and become palace maids in the Forbidden City.
After spending a few months with them, you should be able to call them by name without hesitation, and then ······ And then it seems that there will be no more then.
Could it be that he was born to be a concubine?
Shuren? "The life of the common man"? This thought flashed in his mind, but his mentality was quite calm, he smiled faintly, and when he reached out to take the lamp, he suddenly remembered the name of the round-faced maid.
"Everyone else calls you a full moon, do you really call it a full moon? Why the name? ”
The round-faced maid blushed, pinching the corners of her skirt with both hands, quite uncomfortable, and unable to speak.
The three maids at the door covered their mouths and snickered, and one of them with a pair of slender eyes smiled: "Your Highness, she was born with a face like a full moon, hence the name." ”
Why such a common name? What autumn shadows, ice wheels, Chanjuan, a big push with poetic and picturesque names, you don't take it, but take the name Full Moon, alas, it's a pity that this jade plate face!
Thinking so in his heart, when he came out of his mouth, he changed his tone of approval: "Good for the full moon!" If life is like a full moon, it means that everything is complete. ”
Now it's the full moon's turn to snicker. The four maids in the main hall heard the laughter here, and had the courage to come over to see the excitement, and when they saw Zhu Qiming's warm face, they immediately put away the restraint of Fang Cai.
"You are the king······ No, you are the close attendants of the emperor today? Zhu Qiming said softly. As soon as he spoke, he realized that his words were still inappropriately worded.
Cut, ridiculous! The maidservants around the emperor are all palace maids, how can there be any maids?
Fortunately, these eight maids have not officially entered the palace yet, and they don't care much about Zhu Qiming's wording. The slender-eyed maid smiled and said, "Your Highness, the slave's name is Qiuyue." Oh, the slaves and maids are the people next to Mrs. Ru, and they have seen His Highness in Zhuolu Mountain, who knows that His Highness didn't look at the slaves and maids at the beginning. ”
is such a clever girl, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she reported her name, saving Zhu Qiming from asking questions again.
Zhu Qiming looked at Qiuyue lightly for a while, and only felt that she was a little like Qing'er, like Qing'er, Qiuyue smiled, and her eyes were very long.
However, what interested him the most was Qiu Yue's last words. "Yanluo asked you to come?"
Qiu Yue nodded, "Yes." Madame Ru instructed the slaves and maids to only listen to His Highness's call in Qiupuxuan, and not to tell anyone about Qiupuxuan, including Madame Ru herself. ”
Zhu Qiming was relieved. I think that since these maids are sent by Yanluo, they must have been carefully selected by her, and everything has nothing to do with others!
Others? For some reason, he immediately remembered Pang Zhe, and there was a moment of discomfort in his heart.
"In a few more days, you should call her Niangniang."
What kind of position will the emperor give Yanluo? Well, you have to give a concubine!
After some gossip, Zhu Qiming's heart was almost gone, and he felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, and he immediately got up and walked towards the inner room.
"Let's all rest early."
Qiu Yue hurriedly followed, "Your Highness, as usual, someone must be on duty in the inner room at night to wait for Your Highness's living. Why don't the slaves call another person and make a bed in the inner room? ”
Will this work? Zhu Qiming didn't seem to want to refuse this matter too much, but could he really do this by being an adult prince and two cardamom girls in the same room?
"No, this king is quiet at night."
He pursed his lips, and Lu Xiyao's figure floated in his mind.
