Zhu Youzhen also needs Lu Fan, a big master, to protect him, so naturally it is impossible to make him hungry.

Instructed Ding Baiying to take out the wheat cakes, the three of them ate and emptied, and after drinking some water, the hunger in their stomachs finally subsided.

After eating and drinking, tiredness hit, but tonight was too critical, Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to sleep at all, so he pulled Lu Fan and Ding Baiying, and kept chatting.

Chatting and chatting, Zhu Youzhen, who had just ascended the throne as the emperor, gradually felt that Lu Fan in front of him did not look like a young martial artist at all, and some of his views were quite insightful, much stronger than the rotten Confucians in the court.

Even Ding Baiying's senses for Lu Fan have improved a little, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly when she looked at him who was talking.

"It's a pity, Lu Fan, you are from a military family, not a civilian citizen, and you can't take the imperial examination, otherwise if you concentrate on studying knowledge, you may be able to get a champion and a champion in the future, and glorify your ancestors!"

Lu Fan smiled and said nothing.

In the Ming Dynasty, since the change of Tumubao and the almost collapse of the military meritorious group, the status of the literati has risen rapidly, and the status is far above the martial arts.

Even the third-rank generals in some places, in the face of a small seventh-rank civil official, were able to salute in a subordinate posture, and the civility and martial arts were light-hearted to the point of perversion.

But this situation, in Lu Fan's opinion, will not take long to be completely transformed.

Troubled times are coming, and in this era of human life, the status of the warriors who have soldiers under their hands will be greatly improved, and even later, they can influence the decisions of the central court.

Throughout Chongzhen's reign, Chongzhen was ruthless in killing civil officials, killing batch after batch like killing chickens.

However, for those local warlords with heavy troops, except for the first few years on the throne, they still have some control over the local generals, and in the middle and later stages, there is no means of control over the local warlord generals except for pacification.

For example, the famous escaped general He Renlong, in the face of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other homeless troops, he was defeated repeatedly, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he would flee first, and killed friendly troops again and again.

But Chongzhen has no way to take him, the other party claims to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, even if he flees before the battle, and the arson is a place of banditry and chaos, the court can only turn a blind eye, except for issuing decrees again and again to order him to make meritorious contributions, it is really no trick at all, for fear that the punishment will be severe and force the other party to rebel!

"Knock knock!"

The conversation between the three of them did not last long, and there was another knock on the door outside the originally closed door.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen did not have the previous nervousness, but restrained his smile and nodded at Ding Baiying.

The door of the palace was opened, and several young women dressed as palace maids stood outside the door, led by a white fat eunuch, and walked in slowly.

"Your Majesty......."

The white fat eunuch just opened his mouth to say something, but Chongzhen waved his hand directly, "If you stay, you can retreat!"

“...... Yes!"

The eunuch didn't seem to expect that the young emperor would be so neat and neat, and all the four palace maids were left behind.

But this is also a good thing for him, at least he can go back and reply to Grandpa Wei.

Presumably, the 9,000-year-old will be extremely happy when he learns that His Majesty is a good woman, right?

After the white fat eunuch left, Lu Fan looked at the four palace maids with a smile in his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Ding Baiying.

"Are you coming, or am I coming?"

Ding Baiying rolled her eyes, got up and searched the women one by one.

After a careful search, it was found that the top of the skirt of the four women was tied with a small pill, which was called "ecstasy incense" in the palace, which was actually an aphrodisiac that could volatilize naturally.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

The matter was revealed, and the women's faces turned pale, if this matter was investigated, and they were charged with murdering the emperor, it would be enough for them to lose their heads ten times!

"Your Majesty, how should these people be handled?"

After throwing the ecstasy incense into the water and disposing of it, Ding Baiying looked at the women with a sinister face, and there was a posture that as long as His Majesty opened his mouth, he would break the necks of several people.

"Well, they have no choice but to do so. ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "I'm not a killer, just tie them up, don't let them leave!"

........

Outside the Qianqing Palace, in a corridor, Wei Zhongxian was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids like the moon, and was staring at the palace gate not far away.

Not long after, in the Qianqing Palace, the white fat eunuch walked out of the inside with a happy face, walked quickly to the corridor, and whispered happily as he walked, "Father-in-law, the matter is done, Your Majesty has left the four daughters behind!"

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief, patted the white fat man's arm, and said approvingly: "You did things, and you really didn't disappoint me!"

The white fat eunuch smiled, but it was the father-in-law Zhao behind Wei Zhongxian whose wrist was broken, his face was a little ugly at the moment, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.

He did things before, not only did he not get things done, but he also had a conflict with His Majesty's henchmen and eunuchs, and because of this, he was scolded by Gonggong Wei after he came back.

If that's all it takes, who would have thought that if they lost on the front foot, others did it on the back foot, how should they look at themselves after the age of 9,000?

Waste? Incompetence?

"My husband is tired, go back and rest first, you keep an eye on it, what requirements does Your Majesty have, you must meet it!"

Wei Zhongxian yawned, today's result, although a little broken, but still satisfied him.

After all, judging from today's performance, although the new emperor has some city mansions, he is still young after all, and this Ming Empire still depends on him Wei Zhongxian to maintain it after all.

Regardless of whether His Majesty is really a good woman or not, being able to keep someone is a sign of goodwill to him.

Your Majesty has this meaning, it is enough.

Shandong civil uprising, Liaodong Jiannu, and the continuous and frequent natural disasters in various places, which must not rely on silver to fill the holes?

Let's ask this Ming realm, who can be more reliable than him Wei Zhongxian, and he will be more able to make money?

He is confident in his own power and ability.

Although he was once a son of heaven and a courtier, but now it is an eventful time, presumably His Majesty should not be reckless enough to directly deal with him Wei Zhongxian before he finds a more suitable replacement.

Otherwise, isn't that a lack of heart?

As for the right people?

He looked around, almost all of the people in the huge palace were his people, even in the court, including the cabinet chief, they were all his Wei Zhongxian's righteous sons or cronies.

Your Majesty wants to change people, how can it be so easy!?
