In the past ten years, a lot of things have quietly changed.

The ministers are not as angry as before, and their fiery tempers are gradually getting better, which is a vision and an inevitability. The emperor and the nobles monopolized the profits of shipping, the silver flowed into the palace treasury like flowing water, the inner treasury entered more than the Ming treasury every year, the ministers of the DPRK and China proposed to transfer part of the treasury to the treasury many times, Zhu Houzhao's attitude on this matter was quite resolute, and he was not relieved, the ministers were all full of poetry and books, and the financial system of the Ming Dynasty was also the ancestral system, and the treasury and the treasury were two completely separate systems, and they were embarrassed to rob them.

The income of the inner treasury is higher than that of the national treasury, and a phenomenon directly led to is that the arrogance of the monarchs and ministers has risen and fallen, and Zhu Houzhao's confidence is sufficient, while the arrogance of the ministers is gradually declining. It was only at this time that Zhu Houzhao deeply felt the benefits of money, and recalled every word that Qin Kan had said to him back then, and the gratitude in his heart could not be expressed.

The friendship between Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan is still as deep as it was back then, if you say that it changes, the friendship is like old wine, and now it has become more and more mellow, and the tacit understanding between the two is as good as a brother, and you can know the meaning with a glance at each other.

It is precious to have such a confidant in life.

On the side of the royal chariot, a man who was dressed in drapes and looked like a general of the border army suddenly moved slightly in the crowd, this person was burly, his face was full of stubble, his dark face was covered with wind and frost, and the knuckles of the single knuckles of the handle of the knife on his waist were raised, and his hands were full of calluses. The whole person invisibly exuded a faint murderous aura.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be aware of it, raised his hand to call the general, pointed at him and smiled at Qin Kan and said, "Get acquainted, this is the general I knew when I was in Xuanfu, named Jiang Bin......"

The military general hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards Qin Kan, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "The last general, the guerrilla general of Xuanfu, led the commander of Ulzhou Wei to command Jiang Bin, and meet Grandpa Qin." ”

Qin Kan stared at him for a moment, then said with a smile: "General Jiang, please get up, you can be appreciated by Your Majesty." It can be seen that General Jiang does have some ability. ”

"Grandpa praises. The last general is ashamed. Jiang Bin's posture is very low, and he is obviously a smart character, and no matter how much he makes military exploits, he will not dare to show off in front of this famous Ning Guogong.

More than 20,000 enemies were annihilated, and the results of the emperor's personal expedition were indeed extraordinary. In terms of martial arts. It is comparable to the two first emperors of Taizu and Yongle. When the results of Yingzhou's victory were reported to the Beijing Division, no one in the Manchu Dynasty was willing to believe it, thinking that the emperor was rejoicing. Boasting, later the cabinet temporarily dispatched two overseers from Juyong Pass to supervise the imperial history to Yingzhou in person, outside the city of Yingzhou, the corpses of Mongolian Tatars all over the mountains were placed all over the ground, whether the Tartars only looked at the hairstyle and dress, and said that tens of thousands of people died in the battle between the two sides, this kind of thing is impossible to fake, the imperial history sent an urgent report to the Beijing Division, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had to believe this shocking fact.

Believe in this fact, this is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military out of the city ten miles to welcome the emperor's triumphant move, this is a veritable victory, can be described as deserved, such a great victory if the courtiers do not welcome, undoubtedly a big loss of courtier etiquette, if the emperor is more serious, the factory guards will not have to carry a few negative examples from the courtiers, monopolize their various disobedience, and die.

…………

The tiger still roared in the leopard room, and on the day Zhu Houzhao left Beijing, the eunuchs in the leopard room took care of this zoo-like palace very thoughtfully.

Zhu Houzhao changed into the regular clothes of the dragon, stood outside the tiger cage and threw raw meat into it with great interest, and as soon as ten catties of fresh meat fell into the cage, the two tigers inside pounced on them fiercely, bit the meat fiercely, and chewed it into the stomach after three or two chews.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he laughed happily, and Liu Liangnu stood aside in palace clothes, covering her mouth and chuckling.

Ten years have passed, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Liangnu have also achieved positive results, not only officially married her, but also gave her the title of imperial concubine, and her status in the palace is second only to the queen mother and the queen.

Since ancient times, the concubines in the palace fought cruelly, Zhu Houzhao didn't understand the affairs of these women's families, but Qin Kan watched so many palace fighting dramas in his previous life, and it was not in vain that Qin Kan suggested that Zhu Houzhao would bring Liu Liangnu into the leopard room, except for the day he married her, Liu Liangnu had never stepped into the palace for ten years, and Queen Xia could only whip her even if she had the mind to deal with her.

Qin Kan walked into the leopard room in a four-clawed python robe without hurrying, Zhu Houzhao smiled when he saw him, beckoned to him, pointed to the fresh meat in the bamboo basket beside him, and motioned to Qin Kan to come and feed the tiger.

Qin Kan picked up a piece of meat and threw it into the cage, but the tiger still pounced fiercely and ate the piece of meat.

Seeing his fierce appearance, Qin Kan couldn't help but praise: "What a brute." ”

After saying that, Qin Kan hurriedly greeted Zhu Houzhao and Liu Liangnu as monarchs and ministers, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand aggressively, Liu Liangnu pursed her lips and smiled, without saying a word, her grace and elegance were no longer the appearance of a poor woman who worked hard to sell wine in a dilapidated wine shop.

The two of them spoke, Liu Liangnu nodded to Qin Kan and then retired and left, she had no friends in the leopard room, she was lonely and lonely, and only had dealings with the two ladies of the Qin family.

"In the half a year since I left Beijing, how has the Beijing Division changed?" Zhu Houzhao stared at the tiger cage and asked absentmindedly.

"There is no change, but when His Majesty left Beijing, Juyong Pass was deceived open, and after entering the customs, he ordered the gate to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter again, so that the cabinet and the six adults went out of Beijing to chase the people and horses under His Majesty and ate a closed door, the ministers were very angry at the time, Yang Ting and the Lord gathered dozens of ministers to cry in front of the Taimiao, and scolded His Majesty from one year old to twenty-eight years old......"

Zhu Houzhao said hatefully: "These old bastards! If I don't go out of Beijing, where will I come from Yingzhou's victory, this battle is enough to earn ten years of peace for my Ming Dynasty, can someone else do it? The ministers scolded me, why did you stay in Beijing? Why don't you stop me a little? ”

At that time, the minister also knelt in front of the temple and scolded His Majesty, anyway, His Majesty had already gone away, and there would be no less meat when he scolded. People can't live too far from the group, they will be isolated. ”

Zhu Houzhao was angry: "You are also a bastard!" ”

After sulking for a while, Zhu Houzhao's mood has improved a lot, he has seen countless court storms over the years, no matter how ugly it is, Zhu Houzhao has heard it, and this kind of trivial thing like scolding him behind his back can really be called a breeze and drizzle.

"Anything new?" Zhu Houzhao glared at him.

"There is also the minister's main wife who gave birth to another son, 'again'!" Qin Kan bit the word "again" very hard.

Zhu Houzhao's whole person was not good, and his face quickly drooped.

has been with Liu Liangnu for ten years, and the relationship between the two is so good that they can't give birth to a boy and a girl, and the son is the biggest pain in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

Sighing, Zhu Houzhao said with a sad expression: "Is it great to have a son?" You're poking me in the heart......"

"The minister is terrified."

"As soon as I returned to Beijing today, Zhang Yong's dog came to the leopard room with a large stack of songs, and the most talked about in those notes was the matter of my heirs, including the three cabinet scholars, and they unanimously asked me to immediately select concubines and enrich the harem......"

Qin Kan was jealous and envious: "Reasonable, legal and reasonable stallion, the emperor is really happy." ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "But I don't want to be drafted!" I want to serve my father, I only love one woman in my life, and I am only good to one woman, if my harem is full of warblers and swallows, where will Liu Liangnu be? Wouldn't she be so disappointed in me? ”

Qin Kan was speechless, it is undeniable that Zhu Houzhao is indeed an infatuated man, he is very different from Emperor Zhengde in the history books, but on the issue of heirs, Qin Kan did not dare to rashly stand on Zhu Houzhao's side.

The heirs are too important, especially the emperor's heirs, this is a major event related to the country's social luck, although Qin Kan has faintly become a generation of powerful ministers over the years, but he can't take the minister's politeness as a blessing, if Qin Kan dares to contradict the ministers in the matter of heirs, the ministers will definitely die in front of his house one after another, and go forward one after another.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Kan said: "Your Majesty, after all, you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has no queen, the whole country is uneasy, some things are destined to be compromised, especially the matter of the heirs......"

"My heart is only so big, if there are so many concubines in the palace, this one will be a little bit, that one will be a little more, what will Liu Liangnu have left? I love one person in my life, why is it so difficult to ask for such a simple request? I can't look down on those people with three wives and four concubines the most, holding one in their hands, one in the bowl, and one stewed in the pot, eating so much for one person, aren't you afraid of dying? This kind of person is simply scum, a scum......"

Pointing indignantly at the tiger in the cage in front of him, he let out the last deafening roar: "...... It's a beast! ”

Zhu Houzhao scolded endlessly, scolding Qin Kan's old face turned black, and the corners of his eyes twitched faintly.

After scolding in one breath, Zhu Houzhao was in a much more comfortable mood, seeing that Qin Kan had a dark face and didn't say a word, Zhu Houzhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "After I left Beijing, you must have scolded me very well in front of the Taimiao, let's settle it." ”

Qin Kan's heart suddenly balanced: "Yes, Your Majesty, about the matter of choosing a concubine......

Zhu Houzhao was not good again, sighed sadly, and said: "Promise, the ancestral foundation can't be broken in my generation, and I will explain it to Liu Liangnu when I go back." ”
