Seeing that the King of Han was so knowledgeable, Zhu Qiyu handed over the matter of worshipping the tomb and worshipping the ancestors to several princes.

A family feast, happy and happy. Zhu Qiyu praised all the princes and princesses, coaxing everyone to be happy.

The princes and princesses were still not allowed to drink when they were young, so Zhu Qiyu took a few favorite concubines to have a few drinks and dispersed.

Back home, Zhu Qiyu took his concubines to soak in the hot springs, and then lay on the couch and refused to go out again.

With the help of wine, Zhu Qiyu asked: "In addition to Xue'er this year, is there anyone else who wants to have a baby?" ”

Ning Xiang shook her head: "It's gone, everyone who should have been born has been born, the sisters have sons, and no one wants to have another child." A few sisters are still asking, can they follow their son out to join the domain? ”

Zhu Qiyu replied without thinking: "I can do it, I can do it, I can do it." Those who are willing to follow their sons to the vassal are also the queen mothers. It's good to help the princes start a family in the fiefdom, and I'm very supportive. ”

Lin Xiangyu teased: "Good guy, husband is really cool enough, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days, you can keep it." ”

"What else to keep, when men and women are together, it all depends on the edge of the eyes. It's very tiring if you don't have an eye edge and stick it together.

Now that the children are older, everyone has got what they want, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and it is the right way to divide the family property and go to their own things. ”

Lin Xiangyu praised: "There are really few people who can see so much like Fujun, more of them are brutes like Sima Yan, there are more than 10,000 people in the harem, and they can't use it themselves, and they don't want others to use it, so the youth of 10,000 women is consumed in the deep palace." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Sima Yan is a real beast, not only a woman who harms the common people's families, I remember that it is recorded in the Book of Jin: The edict hires the children of the following ministers to prepare for the sixth palace, and the choice is not completed, and the right to prohibit marriage.

After getting thousands of people like this, they were still not satisfied, and they also 'selected 5,000 prostitutes and concubines of Sun Hao to enter the palace', so that the harem finally exceeded 10,000 people, no wonder Sun Hao always sprayed Sima Yan. The woman who robbed him, can he not squirt. ”

"And the pet is very many, Di Mo knows what to do, often take a sheep cart, do what he wants, and go to the feast. The palace people take bamboo leaves and insert them, sprinkle the ground with salt juice, and lead the emperor's car. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly: "Sima Yan is too unconscionable, I really can't do it." More than 10,000 women, one a day, it takes 30 years to spoil once. I can't completely ignore the happiness and feelings of so many women, and I can't sleep at night for such a bad thing. ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "The husband is too kind-hearted, in fact, he directly locked our sisters in the harem, and then took the national show girl, and built another palace to finish." Then three or four a day, not the same for a few years, regardless of what you feel or not.

In this way, for twenty or thirty years, the husband had to give birth to hundreds of sons. ”

"Then I won't be King Wen of Zhou, forget it, don't talk about this. Do we have anything else to do during the Chinese New Year? ”

"Yes, Yan Li has come back to report on his work, and I want to invite him to dinner. Li Bing came back to report on his work, and he had to invite him to dinner. The original kings of Japan, Korea, Annam and other places also entered Beijing, and they were invited to dinner.

Wei Guogong, Xin Guogong and other foreign nobles have also entered Beijing, as well as our pro-army generals, and middle and lower-level soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, all of whom must be invited separately.

Oh, and the subordinate officials of the East Palace, the husband also has to come forward to invite them. ”

Zhu Qiyu was dumbfounded when he heard this: "How many meals do you have to invite this New Year." If I had to drink all of a sudden, it wouldn't tire me out. ”

Ning Xiang persuaded: "There's no way, you have to please, it can be regarded as a summary of the past and the future." The war is gone, and the theme in the future is to eat, drink, and have a good relationship. Besides, you are clamoring to help the horse and give it a ride, but you have to take care of all aspects of the relationship. ”

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It's so annoying, it's annoying when I see outsiders." Which of you will give me a song of ice and fire to quench the fire. ”

Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang immediately became energetic: "Husband, wait a while, let's go get the ice cubes." ”

The matter of a thousand turns of the spirit tongue cannot be described in detail.

……

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the banquet begins.

Today, I would like to invite the great eunuchs of the inner court, Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang, with the crown princess, Huang Qi, and Pei Dang, to pick up people outside the east gate of Lingyu Palace.

Zhu Qiyu took the other three concubines, as well as Zhu Wenfang, to prepare meals in Dongpo Snow Hall.

Zhu Wenfang praised: "Daddy is becoming more and more approachable, and he even cooks for the officials in person during the Chinese New Year." ”

Zhu Qiyu instructed earnestly: "Although these big internal officials are masters and servants with us in name, no one is born with a debt to us. We all have two eyes and one mouth, so why should they be slaves to us?

It's okay to be slaves, they don't have a good life, they don't have a choice. But it is their freedom to give or not to give their lives to the sovereign.

Mencius has said very clearly: the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy.

As an emperor, you have to win people's hearts from all aspects, and you can't look like others owe you tens of thousands of taels all day long.

Besides, when I first ascended the throne, there were only three or two big cats and small cats in my hands. The people I invited today are all from my starting team.

Like Wang Cheng and Shu Liang, they were all immature little eunuchs at that time, but they didn't betray me, not to mention their ability, at least they followed me all the way loyally.

Although we are now developed, we can't help but talk about feelings.

To be an emperor is also to be humane, the more you are in power, the more you have to talk about human feelings, the more you must be humble and gentle, and keep your heart. ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded solemnly, and then asked, "Has Daddy's cooking skills improved?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied confidently: "That's necessary, in order to serve your little lady last year, I really studied a lot." Your little lady is happy and dizzy, and I will make food for her in a different way. ”

"Oh, I also want to learn from my father to live a small life behind closed doors."

"You're still young, do a good job."

The two of them were talking about each other, and outside the Lingyu Palace, Yan Li had already walked to the gate of the palace. Suddenly seeing the two imperial concubines and the crown princess standing at the door, Yan Li was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed to say goodbye.

"Get up, get up, it's cold on the ground, don't kneel. Today is just a family feast, so you don't have to be restrained. ”

After that, Ning Xiang handed over his hand stove: "This hand stove is for you, warm your hands." You're either going to sit down in first, or you're here to chat with us, and wait for a few of them. ”

Yan Li hurriedly took over the hand stove: "The slave maid should wait by the mother's side." ”

After that, Yan Li saluted Huang Qixing behind him again and called his godfather.

Huang Qi praised with a smile: "Okay, good, our Nanjing Imperial Horse Supervisor Palm Seal is really promising." ”

Although Yan Li is already a hot eunuch, he is still a lot worse than Huang Qi.

What determines the height of a eunuch's life, ability and courage only account for a small part, and the most important thing is to rely on feelings.

Whoever has a deep relationship with the emperor will have a high status and great power, and the reason is as simple as that.

Huang Qi can be the chief manager of Lingyu Palace for so many years, and he also serves as the eunuch of the Siyuan Prison, so he and the emperor are naturally not ordinary two feelings.

After picking up all the people, a small group of people came to the Dongpo Snow Hall together.

Except for a few people who were supervising the army in other places, a total of 12 eunuchs came today, and a room full of them sat down.

Zhu Qiyu took the imperial concubine to cook a large table of dishes, and everyone sat together, so lively.

Zhu Qiyu raised his wine glass and smiled at everyone: "Ten years, I have been an emperor for ten years." Looking back on the past, it is really not easy to get to where we are today.

They are all loyal and loyal ministers who started with me, and I won't talk about it if it's too sensational, and my feelings are in the wine.

I'll make this toast, and I will be half retired and half hidden in the future, you will support the prince well, and our monarchs and ministers will share boundless wealth. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu drank it all. Next, the master and servant ate and drank while reminiscing about the past.

The meal was eaten very harmoniously and did not end until the evening.

During the banquet, everyone kept persuading to drink, Zhu Qiyu was happy to drink today, he was trembling and staggering when he walked, and it was easy to walk around the Huan Palace, and he didn't move when he lay down on the couch.

had a good night's dream, and the next morning, Zhu Qiyu slept soundly, and was woken up by the concubine.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu was about to protest, Lin Xiangyu preemptively persuaded: "Husband, you can't sleep anymore, Li Binglai today, don't you have to invite him." ”

"Please, please, although he has made a lot of achievements in Shanxi in recent years, I don't have to greet him in person."

Lin Xiangyu smiled: "You don't have to pick it up, but we have to go." Didn't Mr. Wang come with him, last time Li Bing was assassinated, Mr. Wang saved the governor and accompanying officials, this is a great achievement, you have to promote him to a prefect. ”

"Ascend and rise, but the prefect will reach the top, and it can't be raised again, unless you go to Liaodong or Mongolia to open up wasteland. You and Ning Xiang will pick it up, and let Xue'er and Xi'er sleep with me for a while. ”

Lin Xiangyu took Ning Xiang's arm, and the two of them jumped to the door of Lingyu Palace.

When they arrived at the door, both of them were a little more dignified and serious. Liu Chang was on duty today and hurriedly greeted him.

Lin Xiangyu persuaded: "Wu Anhou can just take care of a few commanders, it's so cold, there's no need to be on duty personally." ”

Liu Chang replied: "It's the New Year, there are many people, and the last general is more relieved to stare at it in person." ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "We are going to pick up people at the gate of the palace, then there will be Lao Wu Anhou to personally protect us." ”

Liu Chang said with a smile: "The last general will obey the order." ”

The three of them walked in the middle, surrounded by dozens of guards in front and behind.

After chatting a few words, Liu Chang asked: "Niangniang, after the New Year, the one in my family wants to go to Annan to visit Yue Guogong, do you think it's okay?" ”

Ning Xiang nodded: "Go, how can you not let you visit your relatives." It's okay to let Yue Guogong's family come back and take a look, and the saint has been talking about Yue Guogong recently.

You said that when people are old, they love to reminisce about the past, and the saint is only in his early thirties, so he talks about the days when he defended the capital and fought against Wara with Yue Guogong, An Guogong, and you young people.

Otherwise, let Yue Guogong and his family come back to Beijing to live for a few years, and when the king of Yue becomes a vassal, they will go back to Annan together. There is also a care on the road, the king of Yue is young, and he still needs a lot of support from the Duke of Yue when he arrives in Annan. ”

Liu Chang hurriedly replied: "This is very good, Yue Guogong is very old, and he also misses his homeland, so he has long wanted to come back to have a look." ”

For Annan, Zhu Qiyu followed the example of Mujiayongzhen Yunnan, and ordered Wang Tong, the prince of Yueguo, and his descendants to Yongzhen Annan, and then named his son the king of Yue, and built a domain to defend it.

Today, Annan has set up a complete system of political envoys, envoys, and commanders, as well as yamen at the prefecture, provincial, prefecture, and county levels.

There are also governors, governors, and eunuchs guarding the town, plus vassal kings and nobles, forming a pattern of mutual checks and balances.

Everyone supervises each other, and no one can dominate the family and cover the sky with one hand.

Otherwise, in three generations, Annam will become the same as the traditional Han provinces.

Back then, because the British Duke Zhang Fu supported the King of Han, the relationship with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Qizhen was extremely stiff, otherwise, the British Duke would have been in Yongzhen Annan, and it was likely that there would be no mess of Annan behind, and Zhang Fu would not have died so aggrieved in Tumubao.

However, it was said that Lin Xiangyu, Ning Xiang, and Liu Chang came to the gate of King Qi's mansion, and chatted for a long time, and Li Bing and Wang Shan's carriage came slowly.

After getting out of the carriage, Li Bing was so bluffed, why did the emperor's two most spoiled concubines stand at the gate in person, who has such a big face, anyway, Li Bing firmly believes that he doesn't have such a big face.

Li Bing and Wang Shan hurriedly approached and knelt down. Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang hurriedly stretched out their hands to help, and motioned to Huang Qi and Pei Dang to hold them up.

Lin Xiangyu smiled: "What are you kneeling on, Mr. Wang, is this a slap in the face of our sisters." Li Futai don't kneel, you are an important minister of the country, we are little concubines, how can we afford such a big gift. ”

After a few polite words, Li Bing and Wang Shan no longer insisted, Wang Shan looked up, and then said with a smile: "The minister is already dying, and the ladies are getting younger and younger." ”

Lin Xiangyu asked, "Are our sisters still the same as when they were sixteen?" ”

Wang Shan replied: "Not only that, Niangniang's appearance is exactly the same as when she was sixteen years old, but her temperament is more transcendent. ”

Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang were both amused, and Ning Xiang smiled: "Mr. is not old, but there are more delicate poor mouths." The saint has also been chattering very much recently, let's hurry in, you and the saint will fight to see who wins and who loses. ”

Li Bing was completely shocked on the side, how could he, a former staff member, be so big, he was able to talk to a few big eunuchs before, it was already powerful enough. I didn't expect that today I could let the two favorite concubines come out to greet them in person, and they could even joke very out of place. If I knew this, I would have stammered more.

The group entered the palace, talked and laughed and came to the south hall of Ganquan Palace, where Zhu Qiyu was already waiting.

After the monarch and ministers finished the ceremony, Zhu Qiyu first gave Li Bing a great sigh of comfort.

Because during Li Bing's time as governor of Shanxi, there were too many people who were offended. There are so many people who hate Li Bing that they grit their teeth and want revenge are too many to count.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu had to entertain Li Bing alone, mainly to support Li Bing, so as to ensure his personal and career safety.

With today's meal, the gentry and heroes of Shanxi had better burn incense and kowtow to Guanyin Bodhisattva every day, praying that Li Bing would live a long life.

If anyone dares to retaliate against Li Bing, even if Li Bing just choked to death by drinking cold water at home, Zhu Qiyu will settle the account on the heads of the gentry and heroes in Shanxi, so as to kill and plow Shanxi again from beginning to end.

It is to let the people of the world know that whoever follows the emperor will be able to ensure the prosperity and safety of whom.

The main thing is a peace of mind that makes the courtiers sell their lives.
