Huang Pu and He Yi moved two stools, and sat in front of the soft couch with courage, knowing and hiding in the blind spot separated by the glass screen.

So-and-so, after sleeping all afternoon, His Majesty the Emperor, who had already nourished his spirits, couldn't help but be greatly moved, and he also accompanied his favorite concubine to go crazy.

Although the glass screen is opaque, the two ministers behind the screen can still feel the brilliance of the shadows.

Zhu Qiyu asked Huang Pu while moving, "Chengji, what did our great master say?" ”

Huang Pu replied: "Taishi said that only one million taels of silver is not sincere, and he also wants sixteen stunning beauties as concubines before he is willing to return to the emperor."

If His Majesty does not agree, it will be to look down on the Taishi, and the Warat army will have to fight to the death with the Ming army. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's good, tomorrow morning's court meeting, you can talk to the ministers." As for whether to agree or not, let the ministers discuss.

If the ministers agree, we will give them women; If the ministers disagree, we will start the war again on the grounds that Warat wiped out the elite of the 10,000 Ming army in Juyongguan during the peace talks. ”

Huang Pu hurriedly agreed, and Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How is our 10,000 Ming elites, did Prince Yang send someone to find the Arazhi Yuan to dredge up?" ”

"The 10,000 Xuanfu fugitive army, Ah Ra has already informed the general army of Datong to receive it. King Yang offered 100,000 taels of silver to redeem Yang Jun, but was sternly refused. ”

"Prince Yang still refuses to fight? Did Yu Shangshu make any moves? ”

Huang Pu shook his head: "Yu Shangshu didn't make any moves, and he couldn't command the army of Xuanfu. The Arazhiyuan had stopped attacking Juyong Pass and returned to Xuanfu with 20,000 main forces.

Now Ala's 30,000 troops are all surrounded under Xuanfu City, even if King Yang wants to fight, his soldiers can't agree. ”

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The army of the Ming Dynasty has always fought bravely, why did it suddenly come out of a waste like Yang Hong, it is really a shame for the Ming army."

When you go back, you ask the secret envoy to inform Ah Ra that after the war in Beijing is over, let him not leave, and he has been besieging the city of Xuanfu and trapping Yang Hong inside.

I will send Shi Heng, Fan Guang, and Sun Bo to lead an army of 150,000 to pursue Yexian and enter Shanxi from Bauhinia Pass. After that, Shi Heng led an army of 50,000 to take over Datong; Sun Bo led an army of 50,000 troops into Huailai, monitoring the movements of Xuanfu while going to the battlefield of Tumubao to collect the remains of soldiers.

Fan Guang led an army of 50,000 to besiege Xuanfu, completely relieved Yang Hong's military power, and carried out a major purge of Xuanfu inside and out.

I want to give the people of the whole country tax exemption and forced labor, and I want to give all of you a pension, but it all points to the family property of this bunch of garbage in Shanxi. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu immediately added: "Xingyi, in my name, I will draft a half-private and half-official pardon, that is, prepare a document similar to the Zhongzhi to Yu Shangshu."

How to write your own polishing, which roughly means: Yu Shangshu served as the governor of Shanxi for 19 years, with outstanding achievements and excellent political achievements, and the officialdom of Shanxi governance was clear and orderly. In particular, in military affairs, the armament was reorganized and the defense line was strengthened, so that the Shanxi border was peaceful and impregnable.

Yu Shangshu worked hard and made great achievements, and I was very relieved, and planned to promote Yu Shangshu as the Marquis of Xuanfu.

This matter has been sent to the hundred officials for comment, and I will inform Shangshu and the generals of Xuanfu in advance, and let everyone in Xuanfu know that it is best to obey the order honestly, otherwise the power of heaven will come, and it will not be unpredictable. ”

He Yi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen knows how to write." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, feeling very comfortable. In the end, it is easy to use the person who pulls it out by himself, and you don't need to be too straightforward to understand what you mean. Like those ministers promoted by the first emperor and the emperor, it is tiring to think about.

……

Huang Pu and He Yi outside the screen glanced at each other, first a little stunned, and then showed joy. Both of them are very young, and they have not yet become antiques like Hu Hu and others.

The most important thing is that the better the relationship between the emperor and the favorite concubines, the sooner they can have more princes, and the more secure everyone's future will be in the future.

As for the absurdity of the emperor's actions, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't make mistakes of principle.

If Zhu Qiyu knew what Huang Pu and He Yi were thinking, he would definitely be very pleased. In the end, he is a confidant, and he is tolerant and patient enough for his own lord.

Huang Pu and He Yi just sat there, not making a sound, not urging, not even a cup of tea at hand, but they didn't complain.

After another half an hour, Ning Xiang gave up her position and motioned for Linglong to continue. He got dressed, got up and went to bed, took the kettle from the stove, and made tea for everyone himself.

Huang Pu and He Yi saw the stunning beauty with red faces, came with tea, and hurriedly got up and were about to kneel.

Ning Xiang stopped the two with a smile: "The two gentlemen don't want to see each other, they will be separated by such a big gift." I am different from our princess, I neither show my face, take care of people, nor do I take care of housekeeping or run the family business.

I have already told my husband that I just need to sleep and be a little plaything to make my husband happy, so you don't have to treat me as a concubine.

The husband faces countless military and political affairs all day long, and there is endless pressure, so sometimes we will change the way to please the husband, don't think it's strange, please understand Your Majesty, and don't say that we are bewitching and seducing the Lord. ”

With that, Ning Xiang handed the tea to the two of them.

The two didn't even dare to say it, they all said that they could definitely understand the emperor and understand all the mothers, and then respectfully accepted the tea.

Since he drank tea, it meant that he understood and accepted the absurd behavior of the emperor and his favorite concubine, Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and began to draw a big cake again: "Chengji, Xingyi, you two do a good job, I have high hopes for you."

Especially now that the two of you are both counselors in military affairs, the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions is rare, and the next time there is such a big battle, I don't know how many teenagers it will take.

When our army won a great victory, the general would be driven back to Shanxi first, and I would be promoted to Xingyi as a scholar of Zuochunfang University, and Chengji as a scholar of Youchunfang University. ”

No one could persuade them this time, so Huang Pu and He Yi resolutely knelt down and kowtowed. The emperor really didn't say anything to his confidants, and the bachelors who left and right Chunfang were actually theoretically able to enter the cabinet and participate in politics.

Next, even if the two of them lie down and boil their qualifications, they will be able to stay into the cabinet sooner or later.

Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything about the final arrangement for the two, because he was afraid that the two of them would have too smooth careers, so that they would be impetuous, proud and complacent.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu has already made up his mind for several first assistants of the Jingtai Dynasty: the first generation of first assistants, Chen Xun, the great talent of Lianzhong Sanyuan; the second generation of Shoufu, the emperor's hardcore minister Wang Wen; The fourth and fifth generations of first assistants are Huang Pu and He Yi.
