Chapter 108: Killing the Rebellious King
Mu Tianbo and Yang Side by Side were led into the side hall by the eunuchs. The latest chapters are available to read online (millennia) here. Zhu Jun was already sitting on the couch waiting for them to meet him. Beside him stood Qu Ci, who looked embarrassed, and Zhou Xue'er, who had tears unfinished.
After the ceremony. Xiao Guizi brought Zhu Jun a tea inscription. Qu Ci took it and handed it to the small case on the couch. Zhu Jun took a sip of Cha Ming. Lang Sheng asked, "Two Aiqing." I don't know what to see? Is there any news from Siam? ”
Mu Tianbo and Yang Side saw Qu Ci standing in front of the collapse. There was also a young girl on the other side. I can't help but feel overjoyed. In my heart, I am even more sure that the country has been settled. Then they were embarrassed. Two palace maids are on the side. In front of Zhu Jun, a big man, they also opened their mouths to ask about Lin Xing. But these two women who are likely to be candidates for future concubines are in front of them. Mu Tianbo and Yang Side were full of embarrassment. Constant dry cough. I don't know if I should ask or not.
A trace of suspicion appeared on Zhu Jun's face. His face sank. "Could it be Siam or what happened in Myanmar?" ”
"Thank the emperor for good fortune. Everything is fine. Mu Tianbo replied with a strange expression.
Yang Side gritted his teeth. stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." This matter is about the foundation of the country. The minister dared not ask. Yang Side glanced at the two daughters in front of the collapse. continued: "Dare to ask the emperor and Qu Ci to stay in the Luan Palace last night. Is it possible to be lucky? If so. The emperor should ask the chronicler to make a record on the living note. ”
Zhu Jun sat up from the couch all of a sudden. looked at Yang Side with straight eyes. The face was full of disbelief. Is this still a bachelor's degree? How to be virtuous with the turtle father? Only then did Zhu Jun know why Daming was dying. This group of guys who are well fed and have nothing to do is serious and doesn't plan well. Grasp the emperor's family affairs every day. Even the fucking ** they have to take care of.
Zhu Jun glanced at Qu Ci, who was standing on the side. I saw her hanging her head and playing with the corners of her clothes. The fine white neck has been dyed blood-red. Zhou Xue'er on the other side didn't seem to know what Lin Xing meant. Just watched Zhu Jun's violent reaction with wide eyes.
"Your Majesty. This matter involves the country. It is natural that Lord Yang is worried about the country. Emperor. The country's most important weapon. Deeds. Every promise is related to the life and death of the country. What's more, it's a matter of the Middle Palace. If there is no record of last night's fortunate events. In the future, Qu became pregnant. How will the emperor deal with himself? Even if the emperor believes that this is a dragon son. But do the people of the world believe it? How did the emperor block the mouths of the people of the world? Therefore. Weichen thought that the emperor should explain the events of last night to the chronicler clearly. Lucky or not. It is related to the fortune of the heavenly cycle. It is also about the solid collapse of the Ming Dynasty. All over the world, hundreds of civil and military officials, and thousands of Li people are bathed in the emperor's grace. also looks forward to the emperor giving birth to a dragon son early. Blessing the world. It's just that if you don't keep a file. The prince born to the Qu family is not right. If the name is not right, it is not good. And so it goes. How can the emperor make him a prince? ”
Mu Tianbo talked excitedly. In my heart, it seems that I have already identified Zhu Jun and Qu's xxoo.
Zhu Jun is convinced. Sure enough, it was a clear stream and misguided the country. Mu Tianbo is still relatively an official who can do practical things. It can well be imagined. What kind of virtue is the clear stream of the Donglin Party in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Let's not talk about morality for the time being. But all of them are good at talking. A seemingly ordinary thing can be found out and talked about. From all over the world. will come to thousands of people. From the cycle of heaven to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Jun really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Yang Side kept nodding. Jue's Mu Tianbo is reasonable. I sighed in my heart. Master Mu really said it. This is the real words of seeking the country.
Qu was even more embarrassed. The little face is flushed. I want to escape but am afraid that the emperor will blame me. A pair of slender hands kept rubbing the corners of his clothes. I can't wait to find a crack to get into. No one was seen again.
Zhou Xue'er suddenly realized. It turns out that this is a matter for men and women. At first, it was cramped. The little face is also flushed. Then he smiled slightly and winked at Qu on the other side.
Zhu Jun calmed down. Slowly stood up from the couch. After a moment of silence, he said, "You have family affairs. I also have family affairs. I tell you this day without any misconception. Anything could have happened last night. But there is a limit to my patience. From now on. The matter of the harem has nothing to do with the two Aiqing. Do you understand? ”
Yang Side said angrily: "The emperor's family affairs are state affairs. This is the unchanging law of the Ming Dynasty......"
Mu Tianbo pulled the hem of his clothes behind Yang Side. Silently shook his head. Yang Side sighed helplessly. The two bowed together and said, "Since the emperor is like this." The ministers had nothing to say. I only hope that the emperor will come, and when he is lucky, remember to register and make a book. ”
Wait until Zhu Jun sent away the two disappointed bachelors. only to breathe a sigh of relief. He turned around. I saw that the two girls were both crimson faces. Qu Ci bit her lower lip. Zhou Xue'er had a strange smile on her face.
Zhu Jun returned to the couch. Pick up the tea and drink it. Unexpectedly, the tea in the cup had already been drunk. So he said to Xiao Guizi, who was standing at the gate of the palace, "Go and change a cup of tea for me." ”
Qu Ci hurriedly picked up the teacup for Zhu Jun. He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty." Let the little girl change it for you. She said. While escaping, he turned back and walked quickly. Unexpectedly, he stumbled and sat on it.
Seeing this, Zhu Jun got up and wanted to help her. Zhou Xueer was also shocked. Those who are in a hurry should also be helped.
Qu Ci sat on the top of the flute. Pain, shyness, and pain came to my heart together. I think of my father who was righteous in Guilin. A mother who died of excessive grief. Far away in Guangdong, he was captured by the Qing army and finally killed his brother. And the two ministers just asked such a shameful thing in front of them. How will you behave in the future? The more Qu Ci thought about it, the more complicated it became. It was like a stormy wave precipitated in the chest. Turned into tears. Can't cry. This is the court. The emperor is beside him. To cry is to lose your manners. Qu Ci continued to think in her heart. A tearful mass in her beautiful eyes. Stay in the orbit and whirl. That's when she thought again. Will the emperor blame me? Definitely not. Such kindness to others. Wenzhi martial arts. Nothing bad. Qu Ci thought of this. My heart is warm. This distraction. Stopped tears slid down his face again.
The back of Qu Ci's hand was warmly held. Qu Ci raised his eyes. saw Zhu Jun holding her hand. There was a little overwhelm on his face. Zhou Xue'er, who calmed down on the side, handed over a silk handkerchief. Qu Ci hurriedly pulled out the hand that was clenched by Zhu Jun. A handkerchief wipes away tears.
"The little woman lost her manners in front of the king. Please punish the emperor. Qu Ci said in a huff. She had never been so close to Zhu Jun. I was a little scared. And with a hint of warmth. More often than not, it is uncertain.
"Joy, anger and sorrow are originally human nature. How I blame you. Get up first. It's very cool. Zhu Jun supported Qu Ci's forearm and helped her up.
"Your Majesty. The little woman was dizzy. I beg your Majesty's permission to go back and rest. Qu Ci remembered what the two elders asked. I couldn't help but blush. Avoid Zhu Jun's hot gaze. Excuse it.
"Okay." Zhu Jun nodded gently. turned his head to Zhou Xue'er and said, "You help her go back to rest." Take good care of her. ”
Zhou Xue'er nodded. glanced at Zhu Jun deeply. picked up Qu Ci and walked away.
Zhu Jun visited Qu Ci several times in his spare time. Qu Ci's cheeks were always crimson when he saw him again. Zhu Jun picked up some interesting things in the court and told her. I just hope she can be cheerful. Qu Ci listened intently. Every time, he will smile knowingly. Gradually, I will tell Zhu Jun some interesting things about my childhood. And when she got to this. Always bent his eyebrows into a crescent moon. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised. Shallow dimples are exposed. made Zhu Jun's heart pound.
Approaching the 15th day of the seventh month of the second year of the new year. Zhu Jun gradually began to get busy.
this day. The palace walls are newly decorated. The Ming troops standing in a straight line were divided into two rows. Guarded by the side of the wide road. The ministers of civil and military affairs are divided into classes. Five envoys and Spanish envoys crossed the straight side by side. Ascend the White Jade Staircase. Enter Luang Palace.
"The envoy of Annan bowed to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. Congratulations to the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty Holy Sacrament Jin'an. The envoy of Annan knelt and bowed nine times to Zhu Jun on the Golden Palace.
"The Nepalese envoy bowed to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. Tribute was sent to the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty smiles. "The Nepalese envoy bowed down.
"Cambodian envoys knock on His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty......"
"Lancang envoys knock on ......"
"Sumatran Envoy ......"
The Spanish envoy stepped forward. He imitated the appearance of the envoys of various countries, and knelt down and bowed to Zhu Jun three times and nine times. In Chinese, which is not very proficient, he said: "The envoy of the Spanish governor in Luzon has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire. Daming will always be a good friend of the Spaniards. On behalf of His Excellency Ichakin Governor of Luzon, I would like to pay tribute to His Majesty the Great Emperor. ”
"Zhu Qing is flat." Zhu Jun's majestic and loud voice sounded.
The envoys stood up and marched into two shifts. Zhu Jun's voice suddenly became higher: "Bring the guilty minister Siamese King Mandu into the palace." ”
A moment of effort. Under the watchful eye of two guards. The fat King of Siam was escorted into the palace with a lot of flowers.
"The criminal minister Mandu knocked to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. The sinner was confused for a moment. He actually listened to the slander of his subordinates. There is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. Wait for the envoy slowly. Attempt to confront the Celestial Soldiers. I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor will spare his life. The King of Siam had a sad face. Say the words you have already thought of begging for mercy. It's just that he didn't appear to be too alarmed. Since the dynasties. The Emperor of the Central Plains has always been very conniving with the vassal states. Even if you make a mistake and are conquered by the Celestial Empire. Just admit your mistakes sincerely. The Celestial Empire is a sign of generosity. In general, they will avoid death.
Zhu Jun took the case. Hong Sheng said: "Siam has always been the king of the Ming Dynasty. I sent an envoy to Siam. but was insulted by you, a rebel. Not only that. Dare to drive troops into Burma. Fight against the Heavenly Soldiers. Do you want to spare your life? If I spare your life. Am I right about the warriors who died on the border of Siam? By the way, the Burmese people who were slaughtered by your Siamese people? I tell you. Don't! ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. The shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The king of a small country. How dare you do such a great rebellion. Still hoping to stay alive? I tell you plainly. Calling you into the temple. I don't want to listen to your quibbles for mercy. to count your iniquities. Formulate the punishment that will be imposed on you. Kill you in front of so many envoys and sacrifice to heaven. ”
The whole city fell down in the temple like a puddle of mud. I still want to ask for mercy. But he didn't make a sound.
"Oracle!" Xiao Guizi spread out a holy decree. A sharp voice echoed in the Luan Palace: "Fengtian carries the emperor." The edict said: The criminal minister is full of ......
