Chapter 242: The Wind Rises in the Harem
Luo Yangxing felt that he had never been so happy, in his own words, the thirty-eight years and now are the most lively day, people are in good spirits at happy events, he himself doesn't know how much wine he poured, and he doesn't even know when Lu Wang left, there are now Huang Degong, Zhao Mingyang, Xie Xinghua and others in the tent to accompany him, and accompany the powerful Jinyi Guard Commander to drink and appreciate the bragging of Shannanhaibei, it stands to reason that Zhao Mingyang and others are not qualified to accompany him. But now Luo Yangxing not only did not have any dislike, but hooked his shoulders and called him brothers, and pulled a few people to take photos from time to time.
Relative to the jubilation in the tent, the people outside the tent who were blowing the autumn wind were not so comfortable, Liu Zeqing, whose face was already blue and purple, directly threw his sleeves and left, and reported three times in a row that Luo Yang's sex was not seen, and even hinted that there was silver to send the red fruit fruit, but people still did not bird, which made Er Liu unhappy to the extreme, but he couldn't figure out what kind of ecstasy wine Lu Wang poured into the commander, thinking of the ecstasy wine Liu Zeqing couldn't help licking his lips, thinking of the taste of Lu Wang's treasured red wine, come on, go back to the tent and rest!
When Lu Wang appeared in his star hotel suite, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the night, although he had only been away for a day, but he was extremely tired physically and mentally at the moment, silently walked to the bathroom, turned on the warm water, and lay directly into the bathtub to close his eyes and meditate!
Explosives continued, crossbows were urgently needed, steel knives were urgently needed, and clothing was urgently needed...... But the most urgent need is guns and ammunition, the more I think about it, the more annoying I become, poke my head out of the bathtub, reach out and pick up my mobile phone and start contacting Guo Chao, unexpectedly at this point Guo Chao has already slept, and I was obviously unhappy when I received the call, but I heard that it was Lu Wang's attitude that was slightly better, "Dear, I have got all the things you want in the warehouse, you have to pick up the goods yourself, they are all contraband, how can I ship them to Beijing, a check is accurate!" Guo Chao was immediately angry when he heard that Lu Wang asked him to deliver the goods!
Ay. Lu Wang sighed, "It's really troublesome, then I'll go over tomorrow!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, got up and poured himself a glass of red wine and continued to soak, looking at the wine glass in a daze, maybe he was too tired and his thinking began to slow down, and his head began to go blank in a trance.
Lu Wang slept very soundly this night, very fragrant, but people in several other places stayed awake all night, such as Guo Chao in Wenzhou, who kept contacting his manufacturer to increase the goods. For example, Huzi in Shenyang led people to find a black market gunpowder workshop overnight, such as Ermao and others also began to contact suppliers, and even Lu Ling, who had fallen asleep early, had to get up and book a plane ticket for Lu Wang!
Of course, these are ordinary busy nights for little people, and there is a person at the top of the pyramid who has also not slept yet, staying up late has long been a habitual thing for him, he is the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who is in the imperial study at the moment, looked at the dragon case in front of him and frowned and was furious: "Li thief soldiers surrounded Nanyang, and the thieves went out of Sichuan to enter Henan again, so many generals and soldiers and horses did not have any merit." Defeated and retreated everywhere, how many such useless people did the imperial court raise! Is my Daming really going to be finished, is there really no one who is useless? ”
"The emperor is angry, don't hurt your body." Wang Chengen hurriedly approached to comfort!
"Hmph, how can I not be angry, eleven years, eleven years, seven governors have been killed in eleven years. The governor had eleven people, spent countless amounts of silver, grain and grass, and gathered the world's elite soldiers to exterminate these thieves. Is it my incompetence, or the incompetence of the people I use, or the heavens are going to kill me! "The more Chongzhen talks, the more angry he becomes!
"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen knelt down directly, his eyes were cloudy, "Your Majesty, you have to cheer up, there is still hope for our Daming, the dragon body is important, don't be angry!" Your Majesty, you are conscientious and diligent in governing the country, even if the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are not as good as you, the hateful thing is that those generals outside the palace are selfish and disregard the emperor's love, it is really a pity to die! ”
Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, who was kneeling in front of the dragon case and crying in a low voice, and immediately sighed, "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only talk about it every day, but no one knows about me, no one can help me, it's better for me to be a slave, Chengen get up and speak!" ”
"Emperor Xie, Your Majesty, you don't have to work too hard, although there are many things in the miasma, but it's not without good news, isn't it a great joy to have an excerpt of Liu Zeqing and Liu Dudu in Shandong today? The thief Li Qingshan made the whole Shandong trouble, and Zhang Guowei's department was ineffective in suppressing the bandits, and the thieves became bigger and bigger, but I didn't expect this Liu Zeqing to be ...... After only half a month of dispatching troops, they have already taken Yuncheng, defeated Dongping, and besieged the thief leader Li Qingshan! Your Majesty, this is a great joy! ”
"Humph! Cheng'en, are there still few things that are falsely reported to be good? That Liu Zeqing has a heavy army in his hands, and he is invincible, and he looks like he ignores my will, plus his previous precedent, I don't know how big the water of this fold is! Chongzhen said, took a look at the good news, and gently threw it on the dragon case!
"Wear brocade clothes and check it! Isn't Lord Luo in Shandong now, by the way...... Hey, Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that this good news may be true, you still can't remember that Luwan also happens to be in Shandong, will it be ......" Wang Chongzhen's eyes lit up as he said, Chongzhen and his heart were equally shocked, "It won't be so coincidental!" Maybe ......"
"The queen mother drove to the ......" Chongzhen said, the little eunuch outside the door began to spread the news at the top of his throat, Chongzhen was obviously stunned, "It's so late, why is the queen here?" But I quickly thought of one thing, and then there was a wry smile on my face, it is said that the harem of Chongzhen's dynasty is quite calm, of course, this is relative to other dynasties, although Queen Zhou knows the general situation, Tian Guifei is also a knowledgeable person, but how can there be no small entanglement between women! What's more, it's the emperor's woman, and especially in the past few days, since Tian Guifei got a batch of novelties from the emperor, the entire harem has exploded, what mask, one by one, peeled off, white and tender, what essence, what moisturizing cream, what aunt catty, what cotton socks, what headdress...... I haven't heard of it, and the eyes of the whole harem are about to fall off! Queen Zhou couldn't sit still, and she had already taken several opportunities to give Chongzhen Ming a hint several times!
For these things, Chongzhen will naturally reward them if he has them, but the question is no! You must know that the people of Jinyiwei purchased almost all the things in the Luwang store from Hangzhou, but in addition to being privately clipped by them, some of them stayed in Luo Yangxing, and when they arrived in the palace, they only saw one thing, unless there were some things Chongzhen himself liked, and those feminine products were rewarded to Tian Guifei by him!
"The concubine knocks on the emperor!" Empress Zhou got Chongzhen's permission to enter the hall and bowed, Chongzhen hurriedly got up to help her, "Why hasn't the queen fallen asleep so late, but Zhaoren is making trouble again!" "The Zhaoren that Chongzhen is talking about is his youngest daughter, Princess Zhaoren, who is now only two years old!
Empress Zhou smiled bitterly. "Zhaoren obediently went to bed early, it's Kun Xing who makes trouble, this girl doesn't sleep late at night and runs to my palace to make a fuss, the emperor, you have to think of a way", Queen Zhou said and took out the lunch box from the palace maid behind her and opened it, this is the big tonic soup she personally boiled for Chongzhen!
"Oh, what's wrong with you?" , Chongzhen frowned, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, the princess Kunxing that the queen said this week is the princess Changping who was later named by the Qing court, that is, Ah Jiu in martial arts novels. It was the poor little Zhu Yujiao who was cut off by Chongzhen on the night of the Ming Dynasty! To say that this girl is only twelve years old now, she is already slim, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can be described as Chongzhen's heart and liver baby!
The emperor has always favored the princess, which is completely contrary to the later patriarchal preference of the countrymen, and the reason why Chongzhen loves this daughter so much is not only Kun Xing's clever and cute, but also because of Chongzhen's inner pain, I don't know if it's because he has been worried about the country and the people, goes to bed late and gets up early, and the quality of Jingzi is quite poor. It's still how to drop, anyway, he gave birth to seven sons and eight daughters, but three of the seven sons died young, and the six daughters except for the two-year-old Zhaoren are the only ones who have this heart! Others also died. This is also the reason why Chongzhen is very fond of Zhu Yujiao.
"What else? The concubine has already told the emperor several times. Kun Xing has been pestering the concubines to ask for this and that since he came back from Tian Guifei, but Tian Guifei regarded those objects as treasures and was reluctant to give them to Kun Xing, so she could only come to beg the concubines from time to time. Your Majesty, you have to think of a way! Although Empress Zhou's tone has always been very low, her expression is light, Chongzhen smiled slightly while drinking the big tonic soup, "Tian Guifei is really." Take a gadget and give it to her! This Kun Xing is also a big boss, how can he still be childlike nonsense! ”
"Your Majesty, Kun Xing is only twelve years old, he is a child, and besides, those objects of the concubine are really magical, even the concubines are tempted to see it, not to mention Kun Xing, now the entire harem says that the emperor is partial, and with good things to think of, Tian Guifei swept the group of concubines into the cold palace" Queen Zhou said and smiled slightly, Chongzhen's listening was a rare pleasure!
"What did the queen say, these objects were bought by Jinyiwei from a foreign businessman in Jiangnan, I didn't care about it originally, I rewarded Tian Guifei casually, since you love it so much, I will let people go to Jiangnan to buy another batch of them!" Chongzhen's expression was indifferent when he said this, and his heart was like a knife, because according to Jinyiwei's report, these items in Lu Wang are sky-high, and they are expensive to death! But who is he? He was one of the most frugal emperors of all time, and he wore patched clothes! You must know that at this time, not only did the treasury not have a penny, but even Chongzhen's own internal funds were stretched out, because now even the military expenses need to be squeezed out of the internal funds little by little, otherwise the army is unwilling to fight, and who will guard the world for him. The entire harem is even more provincial and provincial, to be honest, the life of a dignified son of tomorrow is not as good as a rich family in the city outside the palace! As for those who are still going crazy, how many taels of silver Li Zicheng found from the palace, it is purely slander and dung, these historians have already verified it, there is no need to spit on it, people with a little IQ know that Chongzhen is really poor!
"Your Majesty, is the foreign merchant you are talking about a young man named Lu Wang?" Empress Zhou asked with interest
"Yes, where does the queen come from?" Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Wang Chengen standing next to him, only to see him standing with his hands together and his face expressionless! Empress Zhou seemed to understand Chongzhen's worries, "I listened to what Tian Guifei said, and chatted that day, Tian Guifei talked about the night of the emperor's reward, and said that those objects were all owned by a young man named Lu Wang, I don't know if it?" ”
"Exactly!" Chongzhen withdrew his gaze from Wang Chengen and nodded
"Your Majesty, since there is such a strange person, why don't you recruit him into the palace to see him? The concubines heard that those items were sky-high, why couldn't they send a decree to Jiangnan Province as a tribute for the royal family, why did they have to pay out of their own pockets to purchase them? Empress Zhou was puzzled, thinking that the things used by the royal family were not as good as those rich families in the south of the Yangtze River, and she had to pay money to buy them like them, wouldn't this be too valuable!
"Hey, let's talk about this later, let's not mention this matter for the time being, I will send someone to Jiangnan to purchase, you let Kunxing wait for a few days with peace of mind, and rest again to make trouble" Chongzhen waved his hand after speaking, "The queen will go back and rest in peace"! Chongzhen thoughtfully picked up the steaming cup of Longjing in front of him, and glanced at the watch on his wrist, night, one o'clock!
