On the fourth day of the ninth month, the Emperor's Palace.

Zhu Youzhen went to court for the first time, and the hundreds of officials of cultural relics passed through the Huangji Gate early and came to wait outside the main hall.

Except for Li Chunye, the vast majority of officials did not understand Zhu Youzhen, let alone his philosophy of governance, whether he was as energetic as Hongwu and Yongle, or as weak as Jianwen and orthodoxy, or as simple as Wanli and not going to court.

After the Qunchen Mountain shouted long live, the court was so silent that only the sound of breathing of different thicknesses could be heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a play?" Zhu Youzhen didn't know what he was doing sitting on the dragon chair, he could only start his first court meeting based on the experience in the TV series in later generations.

No one spoke, no one whispered, and the court was like an operating room, still highly silent.

If the ministers are all unplayable, can they disperse the dynasty? So what's the point of waking up early in the morning? It's better to go back and get some sleep. Zhu Youzhen increasingly wanted to cancel the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, this court meeting, tomorrow will be as usual?" Cui Chengxiu's voice finally broke the peace of the court.

"Cui Aiqing asked well, I was about to explain this." Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wei Zhongxian beside him, "I am still young and not familiar with government affairs, I have to spend a lot of time reading and learning how to govern the country, so I will not go to court for the time being." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means." Kong Zhenyun, the priest of the country, was the first to stand up against it, "Your Majesty is already an adult, and it is time to deal with state affairs. If the court meeting is canceled, how can the affairs of the world be heard? ”

Zhu Youzhen was about to explain to the descendants of Confucius, but Xu Zhaokui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took over the conversation: "Master Confucius's words are wrong!" His Majesty is young and unfamiliar with government affairs, so it is the time to improve his ability to do so. ”

"The thief Hugh wants to seduce His Majesty," Kong Zhenyun was furious, and opened his mouth to scold, just now when Zhu Youzhen looked back at Wei Zhongxian, Kong Zhenyun sighed in his heart, is it another Zhu Youxiao? "His Majesty has already gotten married, and according to the "Da Ming Law", he is already an adult, how can he ignore the government on the grounds of being young?"

After the big wedding, is it an adult? Zhu Youzhen doesn't know if there is such a provision in the "Da Ming Law", is it possible that when you get married at the age of ten, you are also an adult? "Kong Aiqing, I just canceled the court meeting temporarily, and when I am really familiar with government affairs, I will naturally hold a court meeting."

"When will you wait?" Kong Zhenyun's old face turned red, and the green tendons on his neck bulged.

"How can this determine the time? When I feel familiar, I will naturally hold a court meeting - I am not ignoring the government affairs, and if there is any major matter in the court, I will gather relevant officials to discuss countermeasures. ”

"If Your Majesty is not familiar with government affairs for the rest of your life, then you will not go to court for the rest of your life?" Kong Zhenyun pressed forward step by step.

"Bold!" Xu Zhaokui was furious, he was scolded by Kong Zhenyun just now, he was very unhappy, and now he just came back, "Dare to talk to His Majesty like this, do you want to go home?" ”

"Although Master Kong's language is rude and insulting, the truth is correct, His Majesty is young, it is the time for us to assist His Majesty in handling government affairs, if His Majesty is not in court, how can I assist His Majesty?" Wang Yongguang saw that Kong Zhenyun was embarrassed, and hurriedly spoke out to help.

The eunuch party and the Donglin party fought the court again, but this time in the battle, the eunuch party all stood on Zhu Youzhen's side and supported Zhu Youzhen not to go to the court, while the Donglin party was anxious and scolded, so they almost didn't say that Zhu Youzhen was a faint king.

"Zhong Aiqing, quarrels can't solve any problems, the court is not a vegetable market, if any Aiqing is willing to go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, I will never keep it." Zhu Youzhen glared at Wang Yongguang, the head of the Donglin Party, the two parties attacked each other, as early as Zhu Youzhen expected, "I made a compromise decision, for the time being, every first and fifteenth day of the new year, Zhong Aiqing will not discuss this matter." ”

The court was quiet again, and the Donglin Party turned their eyes to Wang Yongguang and Li Qiyuan, but they all lowered their heads and looked at the official boots on their feet.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play." Li Chunye's voice broke the peace of the court and turned a page in the debate just now.

"What is Li Aiqing's performance?" Zhu Youzhen's voice was as soft as ever.

Li Chunye bowed out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, the situation in Liaodong is unfavorable, almost all outside the customs are lost, only Qiantun is left, if Jiannu invades the south again, it will be a soldier in Shanhaiguan." ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while: "Zhong Aiqing, can the land outside the gate be given to Jiannu?" ”

"Your Majesty, absolutely not." Wang Yongguang didn't look at Zhu Youzhen's face this time, "Guanwai has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been hundreds of years, so you can't build slaves so cheaply." In the military song created by His Royal Highness, doesn't it ask soldiers to 'defend the territory and open up the territory'? If the territory can't be saved, how can we talk about opening up the territory?

"Yes, you must not let it be given to Jiannu."

"Whoever loses the gate is a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Dignified Ming, how can you bow down to Jiannu outside the gate?"

……

The court was once again in a struggle.

Zhu Youzhen found that those who opposed concessions were basically the Donglin Party. It turns out that they are all hawks!

But this time, although the court was chaotic, it was not a clear party struggle.

"Zhong Aiqing, if we give up the customs to Jiannu, will Jiannu stop at Shanhaiguan?" Zhu Youzhen added another fire.

"Never, the ambition of the Jiannu wolf will definitely knock on the mountain customs."

"The Mongols once washed the Central Plains with blood, and they can't help but guard against it."

"If Da Ming shows weakness, Jiannu will be stronger."

……

Zhu Youzhen saw that the discussion gradually weakened, "It seems that all Aiqing are loyal ministers of the country, the court is very fortunate, and the Ming Dynasty is very fortunate." He suddenly raised his voice an octave: "Aiqing rest assured, I promise that I will block Jiannu at Shanhaiguan; I promise that I will take back my homeland outside the border. ”

Zhu Youzhen's first court meeting began with a quarrel and ended with harmony.

After dispersing the court meeting, Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace and immediately summoned Wang Mujiu: "Immediately start two things, first, take out 100,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury and hand it over to Qin Yongnian, the chief soldier of Shandong, so that he can train the navy of Shandong." ”

"Your Highness, there are many places to use money now, and the ministers are afraid that they will not agree."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand: "Mu Jiu, you don't have to worry about this, my inner library, I can spend it as much as I want." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is talkative." Wang Mujiu was about to kneel.

Zhu Youzhen stopped him with his gaze, "Mu Jiu, don't want these false courtesies." The second thing was to immediately send a fast horse to Baoding, and ordered Sun Chengzong to come to Beijing secretly and pass on my message, asking him to prepare for a long journey. ”

"Your Majesty, but the emperor Sun Ge Lao?"

"Exactly, you go and prepare immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Mujiu saluted, turned around and went out.

Wei Zhongxian came to the Qianqing Palace and met Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, this is the performance of hundreds of officials from all over the country, and the old slave sent it to His Majesty." ”

"Oh, let's put it here!"

Zhu Youzhen slowly looked through it and found that it was either "the Zhang family's piglet ran to the Li family, and the Li family refused to return it and asked the Zhang family to come up with evidence"; Either "the blue-green algae outbreak in Taihu Lake requires the imperial court to come up with silver to deal with it".

"Zhongxian, you can just deal with these things, or hand them over to the cabinet." Zhu Youzhen pushed the chapter to Wei Zhongxian.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will deal with it." Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy, sure enough, the brothers were of the same heart, and Zhu Youzhen didn't like to deal with the music.

"What's the matter with Zhongxian?" Zhu Youzhen saw that Wei Zhongxian was holding the concerto, but he had no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but be a little strange: didn't he like to deal with the concerto?

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a few heartfelt words." Wei Zhongxian looked around and lowered his voice.

"If Zhongxian has anything to say, just say it!"

"His Majesty has ascended the throne, but there are only one queen and two concubines in the harem, and both concubines have not returned in Shaanxi - the old slave has recruited ten stunning women and temporarily lived in the mansion. Majesty, do you want to send this writer to the palace? Wei Zhongxian got closer and closer to Zhu Youzhen.

A eunuch dares to establish a house. Zhu Youzhen was extremely angry, but his face did not change: "Zhongxian has a heart!" But now that the funeral period of the first emperor has not passed, I have brought in the women outside the palace, which ...... Out of place, right? ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you keep them in the mansion for the time being, and wait for the funeral of the first emperor before sending them over?"

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, "Zhongxian, I want a woman, there are thousands of people in this palace, why do you need to get them in from outside the palace?" "Zhu Youzhen slandered, who knows if there are any female spies mixed into his side?

Wei Zhongxian was stunned, is Zhu Youzhen really not a good woman? Then why didn't he let Zhang Yan live in Cining Palace, where the concubines often lived, but in Ciqing Palace, where the emperor could enter and leave freely? Could it be that I was wrong?

Wei Zhongxian tentatively said: "Your Majesty, the women in this palace were all selected from all over the world when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and it has been six years now. They are all past the age of passing the age of the Taoli, and more than fifty percent of them are over the age of peach and plum. ”

"Oh." Zhu Youzhen was lazy.

"His Majesty has no heirs so far, even if a woman is widely selected to enter the palace across the country, it is not impossible." Wei Zhongxian still didn't give up.

"There are women in the palace......."

Could it be that Zhu Youzhen only likes mature women? Could it be that he is really the same as Zhu Youxiao, who only likes the concubines developed by the first emperor? Wei Zhongxian made a heart: "Your Majesty, the heir is important, why don't you choose a few concubines who have already given birth to them?" Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the entire harem is His Majesty's. ”

Niang Xipi, what kind of woman do I like, do you want this eunuch to take care of it? Zhu Youzhen was furious in his heart, but he said lightly: "Let's talk about this later!" I'm still worried about Liaodong! ”

"Your Majesty, Liaodong ......" Wei Zhongxian had to say something more.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and interrupted him: "Zhongxian, I'm in a bad mood today - you better deal with the music first!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian held the piece and slowly paced away. What kind of woman Zhu Youzhen likes, he hasn't figured it out yet, for the first time, Wei Zhongxian felt that he didn't understand a young emperor.

Zhu Youzhen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in thought.

Zhou Yufeng came out of the inner room and leaned crookedly on Zhu Youzhen's body: "Your Majesty, although Wei Zhongxian has power, there are some things that make sense." ”

"Oh? Tell me, what makes sense in what he said? Zhou Yufeng's little bird is still a person, and Zhu Youzhen's mood is a little calmer.

"Your Majesty, it has been a year and a half since the concubine entered the Xinwang Mansion, but it is still ...... But there is nothing. Zhou Yufeng had already lowered his head, and he was still ashamed to speak: "Wan'er, they are too...... Is Majesty going to expand the harem? ”

"Enlarge the harem?" Is it a woman's responsibility to do nothing? Zhou Yufeng is full of poetry and books, and it is not exempt from vulgarity, Zhu Youzhen has the heart to laugh, "If the harem is expanded, they still have nothing to do, what should I do?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Under. Zhou Yufeng rolled his eyes: "Could it be that His Majesty really wants to be the concubine who has given birth to a child?" ”

"Concubine?" Zhu Youzhen pulled Zhou Yufeng to sit on his lap, "Feng'er, what if I really come to Concubine Xing?" ”

"The entire harem is His Majesty's, what else can others do?" Zhou Yufeng frowned slightly, "But Your Majesty is now in Dabao, I'm afraid others will criticize it." ”

"Oh, what if I am the Empress of Linxing?" Zhu Youzhen was teased by Wei Zhongxian, and his hormones were rising rapidly.

Sitting on Zhu Youzhen's lap, Zhou Yufeng also felt the change in Zhu Youzhen's body, and she struggled to leave this terrible firmness: "Your Majesty, the time for dinner is coming, the concubine will go and see if dinner is ready." ”

Zhu Youzhen grabbed Zhou Yufeng's waist with his left hand, "Feng'er, I was so dizzy by Wei Zhongxian's anger just now, it's just that I have dinner, where can I still eat?" Let's move and digest the remnants of food in our stomachs. ”

Zhou Yufeng was still struggling, but Zhu Youzhen's right hand reached in and lifted her corset high, "Feng'er, your clothes are so tight, obviously they are too small, let's change them!" ”

"It's still daytime!" Zhou Yufeng closed his eyes in shame and desperately held Zhu Youzhen's big hand.

Zhu Youzhen continued, "Feng'er, it has been a year and a half since you married into the Xinwang Mansion, but you have nothing to show so ......far."

"Your Majesty, you have been in Shaanxi for more than a year, no wonder you are a concubine!" Zhou Yufeng was really fooled.

Zhu Youzhen worked harder: "I don't blame Feng'er, I just make up for the more than a year that I have not been in Beijing." ”

"Your Majesty...... Under! "Zhou Yufeng is about to resist, but where does he still have the strength?
