Chapter Ninety-Four: Irresistible, Harem Trivia
In the pavilion, Chen Yonghua and Feng Xifan looked unhappy, especially Feng Xifan, his eyes changed, sometimes resentful, sometimes sad, sometimes gritted teeth, and sometimes sighed.
"The strait is dangerous, although the imperial court is strong and strong, it is not easy to occupy Taiwan." Although Feng Xifan still has the mind of separation, his tone is no longer so firm and confident.
Current affairs are easy, and the current Ming Dynasty has not only won the national war, but also has a strong sailor, so it is stronger than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, Taiwan is now barely able to be self-sufficient in food, but the rest of the materials are still scarce, and more importantly, the people's hearts are supported.
Although Taiwan has been China's sacred territory since ancient times, it was a wild land in the eyes of people at that time. Most of them are Zheng family officers and soldiers from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, who doesn't have the heart to return home? If the imperial court really uses force to recover, and the name of righteousness is in hand, needless to say, the official gentry who follow the Zheng family are ordinary officers and soldiers who are usually closely guarded in Taiwan, and they are afraid that they will not fight hard.
This is the difference between friend and foe, the Manchu Qing attack on Taiwan and the imperial court's crusade against Zheng Shun are two completely different things. One side wants to shave their hair and make it easier to obey, and the other side wants to bring their people back under rule.
It is precisely because of this that Zheng Jing's attitude is no longer as arrogant as before, and his requirements are constantly lowering.
Therefore, although Feng Xifan was unwilling, he was only powerful in his mouth, but he was weak in his heart. The sailors of the imperial court surpassed the Zheng family not only in the number of artillery, but also in the number of ships, and there were Britain and France to help. If there is a real fight, the defeat of the Zheng family is inevitable.
Chen Yonghua glanced at Feng Xifan lightly, but did not say anything. As a traditional scholar, he is in favor of loyalty and patriotism, regardless of Zhu Yongxing's blood relationship. is always a descendant of the Zhu family, and his achievements are outstanding, and he has been recognized by the military generals of Wenchen, and this emperor can be regarded as justifiable. For the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong is his benefactor, and Zheng Jing is the young master. He couldn't let go of these personal feelings.
"As long as Penghu is firmly guarded, and there is the danger of Luermen, Taiwan will not be so easy to be defeated." Feng Xifan was still comforting himself, "How can the foundation created by the previous king be given away? β
"Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Chen Yonghua said faintly: "The emperor is not wise and martial, but he also stood up at a critical juncture and turned the tide." It is not surprising that it is supported by its subjects. Now that ZTE is about to succeed, who can resist? β
"Is there nothing you can do about it?" Feng Xifan asked reluctantly.
"Since we want to imitate the Mu family's example, we will inevitably have to make some concessions." Chen Yonghua thought about it and said: "Today is not as good as Yongli, and the king despises him a little. Who would dare to disobey the holy decree of today? is charged with the crime of rebellious ministers and thieves, but there is no time to turn over. β
Feng Xifan rolled his eyes, still trying to argue. I heard a commotion outside, followed by the sound of gongs and drums. The vocals are even more buzzing.
Chen Yonghua and Feng Xifan didn't know why, and when they walked to the door, an entourage ran to report: "Wang Shi has recovered Beijing and is pursuing the Tartars." β
"The Tartars are dying!" Chen Yonghua sighed with emotion, and was also overjoyed, and said: "Drive out the Tartars." Restore fΓΉ China, Emperor Gao's heroic spirit blessed, and finally repeated the Han family! β
Feng Xifan opened his mouth, and finally could only let out a long sigh. The battle, although it still has to be fought. But the outcome seems to be predestined. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty retreated to Liaodong, it was already a corner of the enemy of the whole country, but the current shape is no longer the stormy, internal and external troubles of the late Ming Dynasty.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A person, a family, a group, a place, and a nation, all of them were united and united in the beginning, and perhaps there was hardship and hardship at that time, and only a life was to be found from ten thousand deaths. However, when the environment gradually improves, the spirit will gradually let go. There are also people who die in government, and there are also those who seek glory and disgrace......
But now, Zhu Yongxing doesn't have to worry about that kind of decadence. The Ming Dynasty, which was rotten to the roots, had been completely destroyed by foreign invasion, and the advantage of surviving was that he was left with almost a blank sheet of paper, which he could use to sway his calligraphy and painting. It is said that it is ZTE, but its essence is to establish a new dynasty, and it is a dynasty in which most people work together.
The people at the bottom are eager to seek treatment, peace is a blessing, they are not only good at management, but also hardworking and willing to work; Officials, mostly young and upstarts, have not yet formed any bureaucracy, are full of vigor and have no twilight; The generals are busy fighting on the battlefield and reaping military exploits, looking forward to being crowned a king and a knight, and looking forward to being named in Lingyan Pavilion.
Externally, the biggest enemy, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was already in decline, and could only survive; Inside, there is no force that can hinder it.
Therefore, Zhu Yongxing's throne is now sitting firmly, and no one can still have the heart to rebel and rebel. His greatest enemy now is actually his heart, greed, inertia, pleasure...... He doesn't have to bother anymore, and he can't run away from the name of a Zhongxing Mingjun; He can weave beauties, hundreds or thousands of them are just the qualifications that a feudal emperor should have; He can enjoy himself comfortably, as long as he goes to court every day with his ears, and then leaves everything to his subordinates, he is still a good emperor who is humble and acceptable......
Well, it is unknown whether Zhu Yongxing will indulge in the cheers of the people and the praise of the history books. Now he can only sleep carefully next to his pot-bellied wife, this emperor is light-hearted, even turning over.
In fact, people like Zhu Yongxing who share a bed with his wife every day, although they are no different from ordinary people, do not conform to the rules of the Ming Dynasty.
The harem of ancient emperors was full of beauties, beautiful and beautiful, and even some emperors couldn't even remember how many concubines they had. And so many concubines are waiting for the emperor to pamper them every night. Therefore, the harem's management system for concubines and concubines came into being. This kind of management reached a fairly complete and strict process in the Ming Dynasty. Although institutionalized, it is full of absurdity, oppression, and shamelessness.
In the Ming Dynasty, the institution that managed the affairs of the emperor's bedroom was called the Jingshifang, and the highest person in charge was called the Jingshifang eunuch, whose task was to arrange and record the situation of the emperor's concubine. When the emperor was fortunate to be a concubine, the eunuchs in the honorific room had to record the year, month, and day in detail as evidence of conception. Concubines and empresses are different, the emperor's favored concubines each have a green card, that is, the end of the green name plate, when waiting for the emperor to have dinner, the eunuch will put a dozen or dozens of name plates in a large silver plate, with dinner in front of the emperor. Then, when the emperor had dinner, the eunuch knelt before the emperor and listened to the instructions, and if the emperor did not want to find a concubine to spend the night, he could just say "step down." If the emperor was looking for a concubine, he would turn the concubine's name tag over and put it back on the silver plate.
After the eunuch of Jingshifang stepped down, he handed over the name tag to the other eunuchs, and he informed the selected concubine to bathe in fragrant soup and make the necessary preparations. When it was time for the emperor to go to bed, he took off the concubine's full clothes, wrapped the concubine's naked body in a blanket made of feathers, and carried her into the emperor's bedroom.
Then, the eunuch and several other eunuchs waited outside the emperor's dormitory, waiting for the emperor's intercourse to end, if the specified time was up, the eunuch would shout "the time is up", if the emperor did not respond, he would call again, and so on three times, he must carry the concubine back on time.
In other words, even the emperor has to stay alone most of the time. Like Zhu Yongxing, he first abolished the eunuch and changed it to a female official system, and the respectful room was gone, and no one cared about him. It also canceled the "collection of women" from the people, and the palace maid was changed to a mercenary system, entering the palace at the age of eleven and leaving the palace at the age of sixteen, and the maid who could still learn to read and write was only a salary.
So, when Duan Wan'er was also pregnant, Zhu Yongxing could only endure it. If it weren't for the rules he set, the palace maids of the right age in the palace would be his, and there must be palace maids who want to be moistened by the rain and dew, and take the initiative to give them a hug, so as to be lucky. Now, facing those little girls who don't know anything, Zhu Yongxing really can't do it. And the elderly, those sturdy servants, Zhu Yongxing boasted that he didn't have such good teeth.
Long Er turned over, Zhu Yongxing hadn't slept yet, he let go in a daze, and felt thirsty again, so he reached out to get the teacup next to him.
"Give the concubine a sip too." Before the water could enter the mouth, the lazy coquettishness of the dragon sounded behind him.
"Okay." Zhu Yongxing swallowed his saliva, leaned over with a smile, and slowly crossed over to his small mouth.
Long Er snorted with satisfaction, stretched out her hand to hold her husband's face and looked at it with a smile, and teased: "But let Your Majesty suffer, the concubine's big belly occupies most of the bed, and Your Majesty was not squeezed to the ground, right?" β
Mengzhu is big, and she usually loves to be dignified and quiet, and Long'er is much more lively than her, especially between the beds, and she can let go of it. In fact, each has its own charm, and Zhu Yongxing likes it.
"I'm afraid you won't squeeze me!" Zhu Yongxing turned sideways, put one hand around his neck, and the other hand probed his chest, and kissed and kissed Long'er on the cheek.
"Your Majestyβ" Long Er's voice became even more tired, and he said softly, "It's time to recruit a female official." The concubine looked at the woman surnamed Zhang who was not bad, the one who often sent small animals to Rou'er. β
Of course, Zhu Yongxing knew what Long Er meant, and he also thought of the bright red in the snow white in his mind, but the second half of the sentence made him frown suddenly.
Is this woman scheming, or is there someone behind her? When Zhu Yongxing thought of this problem, and when he thought that the innocent and immaculate Rou'er was suspected of being used, he suddenly felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. Even if this woman surnamed Zhang likes herself, she can ignore her means, but if such a scheming woman is included in the harem, will the inner house be peaceful in the future?
Setting up a Han queen may be something that cannot be avoided. But Zhu Yongxing hopes to be a dignified, quiet, and virtuous woman, only if she is not strong, she will not be wronged by Mengzhu, Long'er, Duan Wan'er, and other women because of the difference in identity.
"Let's talk about this!" Zhu Yongxing said perfunctorily, closed his eyes, smelled the sweet fragrance on his wife's body, and slowly calmed down.
