Seeing that the emperor was resolute and refused to back down, the ministers present no longer persuaded him.

After all, this is a matter between the emperor and the new monarch, and the ministers are reluctant to get involved too deeply.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhu Qizhen asked Li Shi: "Li Aiqing, do I need to make an edict when I return to the city?" Did Xinjun explicitly mention it? ”

Li Shiyan shook his head when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the new monarch didn't say it explicitly. The edict is just the words of the Wechen family, but Wechen still insists that His Majesty should give an explanation to the subjects of the world. ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "Okay, I know, I will think about it, you go back and resume your life." ”

Sent away these uninteresting ministers, Zhu Qizhen, accompanied by Zuo Sile Jinrong, the secretary of the teaching workshop, and Xing'an, the eunuch of Dongchang, came to the newly built felt tent next to him, ready to choose two women to vent.

As soon as he entered the felt tent, Zhu Qizhen was dumbfounded, only to see twenty or thirty women kneeling neatly on the carpet. There are four nobles in the front, and eight new talents in the back two rows, which is normal.

In the back three rows, there are five women kneeling in each row, all of them naked, only covered with a light veil, and the beautiful scenery makes people feel bloody.

Although Zhu Qizhen is the Son of Heaven and has been in power for 14 years, he has never been extravagant; Although there are many concubines, when they are lucky, they are all decent and have not done any tricks.

Xing'an, who was on the side, had just entered the felt tent and stood beside Zhu Qizhen, neither entering nor retreating. Although the emperor does not shy away from eunuchs, this is a very private matter in front of him after all, even if he is embarrassed to look at it, the emperor may not be willing to be watched.

Anyway, if it were Zhu Qiyu, he would never let others look at his woman, even if it was a eunuch. And Zhu Qizhen didn't pay much attention to these, but noticed that there was one person missing in the account, so he asked Jin Rong:

"Didn't the queen send twelve concubines, plus the previous four, a total of sixteen. Why is there one less person now? ”

When Jin Rong heard this, he replied: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you really can't hide anything from Your Majesty." It was a little girl named Ling'er, only fourteen years old, although she was a prostitute in the workshop, but she had not yet budded, and the queen specially sent it to His Majesty to taste.

It's just that she didn't expect that after Miss Ling'er came, she suddenly didn't want to sleep, so she begged Yuan Bin to rescue her. Yuan Bin refused to let Ling'er come over to sleep on the grounds that Ling'er was a concubine given to him by the queen. ”

Zhu Qizhen was annoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Xing'an to personally summon the two. And Zhu Qizhen himself picked and chose among the fifteen concubines, and finally lifted the veil of two of them and brought them back to his felt tent to enjoy.

Xing'an received the edict, and brought the two with him after a short time.

According to Zhu Qizhen's original meaning, it is just a lesson for the two of them. is just a little girl, Yuan Bin likes it, and it's not impossible to really give it to him.

But after seeing Ling'er, the best little stunner, Zhu Qizhen changed his mind in an instant.

It can only be said that the tacit cooperation between Queen Zhou and Princess Qi has reached a seamless level, one is familiar with Zhu Qizhen's character and preferences, and the other understands the psychology and desires of men. So among more than a dozen mature women, such a little girl with both beautiful looks and stubborn personality was mixed in, which successfully aroused Zhu Qizhen's desire to conquer.

So Zhu Qizhen smiled at Yuan Bin and said, "Yuan Aiqing, although these concubines of yours were given to you by the queen in name, they were actually sent for me to enjoy." This Ling'er girl was even close to my eyes, and I left it behind.

If you don't think it's right, the other three concubines that the queen gave you, I don't want it, I'll really give it to you. ”

Yuan Bin shook his head and said that he was unwilling to compromise.

What is surprising is that Zhu Qizhen did not punish him, but just ordered Yuan Bin not to touch Miss Ling'er, so he sent the two away.

Even Xing'an and Jin Rong on the side were confused.

Zhu Qizhen dragged Xing'an to a no-man's place outside the tent and explained the secret mission to Xing'an alone. Zhu Qizhen is not really stupid, and he also knows that he will plant people around Xinjun.

Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, two difficult brothers, began to send undercover agents to each other, and then it depends on which side has more clever means and can successfully undercover successfully.

Xing'an is now the No. 2 person in the ceremonial supervisor, in charge of the East Factory, Zhu Qizhen ordered Xing'an to take refuge in Xinjun no matter what means he uses, and gain Xinjun's trust, so as to prepare for a fatal blow to his younger brother one day in the future.

In real history, Zhu Qizhen arranged it like this, and Xing'an did it too. But Jingtai was really fooled, and was played by Xing'an, and finally played a change to win the door.

So when the truth about Xing'an's undercover identity was revealed, the ministers were furious and demanded that Xing'an be brought to justice. It's a pity that it was too late, and Jingtai and his cronies and ministers were played to death in this way.

But history is history, and the present is the present. Zhu Qiyu is not so easy to deceive, at this time, he is squatting in the warehouse with his favorite concubines, directing the guards to load and transport the treasures one by one.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the treasure and praised: "The princess is still smart, and she took the opportunity to raise money to sell these useless broken copper and iron and exchange them for white silver." This time I made a lot of money, and I squandered it for months. ”

Hearing her husband describe these treasures as broken copper and iron, the favorite concubines present laughed.

Zhu Qiyu only likes simple and pure treasures such as jade, jade, agate, and glass. As for the gold and silver artifacts in the treasury, lacquerware, wood carvings and the like, no matter how precious they are in the eyes of the world, Zhu Qiyu didn't look at them, so he ordered them to be moved away, sent to the Tianlou, and auctioned them at the dinner party to those powerful and wealthy people in the capital who were stupid and rich.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was almost about to sell these treasures, Lin Xiangyu couldn't help but persuade: "Husband, do you want to take it easy, although those powerful people are stupid and have a lot of money, they can't help but throw out hundreds of treasures like Husband's Mansion in one go." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm annoyed when I look at these things, anyway, you can take care of them all when you have a chance. If you hold it in silver and hold it in your hand, you can send money to your cronies at any time.

Hey, I'm going to give the ministers a long salary, and I'm going to give the people of the whole country a year of tax exemption and forced labor, and the money hasn't been settled yet. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "As a woman who is a husband, it seems a bit too much to say that you deserve it. But you made such a big promise at once, and it was really a self-inflicted annoyance. ”

"Hey, it's not easy for the people, even if it's a little hard, I have to give the people a respite. Don't you know that the south has been completely collapsed by the Xuande and Orthodox dynasties.

Now there are rebellions everywhere in the south, and apart from Nanzhili, there is not even a province that is completely peaceful.

Beijing is too far away from the south, and the negative impact of Taizong's relocation of the capital to Beijing is gradually emerging, and the south has begun to get out of control. Look at it, in another 180 years, the South will start to lose taxes.

And the north is not much better than the south, there is a pot of rotten porridge everywhere, don't you say that you can't reform?

The difficulty of the problem now lies in the fact that it is necessary to recuperate and recuperate, and at the same time to use troops abroad. The two are very contradictory, but neither can be done. ”
