Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 511

Whether it is Taiping Mansion or Suzhou Mansion, it is not only close to Nanjing, but also has accessible waterways.

Auntie Zhu estimated that it would take a few days for Feng Menglong and Ruan Lizhen to arrive in Nanjing, but it was actually counting the time for the two of them to prepare.

In fact, there was an imperial edict summoning them, how could the two dare to delay?Basically, they all set off on the day they received the imperial decree.

Therefore, three days after the imperial decree was issued, Zhu Wei met the two of them in the Hall of Martial Ying.

It was already the day before the Chinese New Year, and most of the government offices of the Ming Dynasty were sealed and closed, only a few government offices were still in operation.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Aimee Zhu has no intention of resting at all.

If the scope of action in future generations is not restricted by the old bamboo forest house, maybe she will give herself a few days off to go out and relax with Hao Guangming, but unfortunately she can't.

On the contrary, on Da Ming's side, every time she handles a matter that can make Da Ming stronger, she will be happier.

Hao Guangming, on the other hand, turned into an otaku completely, and felt that everything in the world was less interesting than helping Aimi Zhu develop Daming.

That is to say, the couple didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the New Year's work...

"My minister Feng Menglong/Private woman Ruan Lizhen, see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that although Feng Menglong's movement of paying respects was relatively slow, it was still neat, and his hair was not all white, but grizzled. Auntie Zhu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and smiled—seeing Feng Menglong like this, as long as he takes good care of it, at least he can give her some benefits. Do five years.

Down below, Feng Menglong got up and glanced at the girl on the dragon chair, full of emotions.

When he was young, he was the most open-minded, even a little extreme, and scoffed at the feudal ethics.But even so, he never expected that there would be a day when a female emperor would succeed to the throne in Daming.

Moreover, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, the empress broke out from the capital city that had been breached by thieves, and led a lone army to travel thousands of miles in the enemy's territory.

When he arrived in Sichuan, he took down the king of Shu directly with great courage and determination, and took control of Sichuan with the wealth of the king of Shu.

Afterwards Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and all his elite soldiers were collected. In just a few months, he led [-] elite soldiers down the south of the Yangtze River, passed Nanjing but did not enter, and first defeated hundreds of thousands of Qing captives in Yangzhou.

In the end, she succeeded to the throne in Nanjing, became the orthodox Ming Dynasty, and became the first female emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Feng Menglong has read all ancient and modern novels, and compiled many novels himself.In his opinion, the things in the novel are already bizarre enough, but he dare not write like that.

However, he has known this for a long time—reality, in many cases, is more bizarre than fiction.

"Young Master Ziyou is old, please sit down and answer." Aunt Zhu said with a smile.

Lianqiao, Liu Shuying and others in the hall couldn't help looking at Feng Menglong in surprise after hearing this.

They knew that even for the cabinet ministers, Aimee Zhu would at most call him Mr. and never called anyone a gentleman, but they called Feng Menglong like this. From this, it can be seen that Feng Menglong's status in Zhu Aimee's heart may be even higher than that of other cabinet ministers.

Feng Menglong was also very surprised, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty treats you so courteously, and my ministers are terrified."

Auntie Zhu laughed and said, "I heard that Mr. Ziyou opposes hypocritical etiquette and does not stick to trivial matters. Why do I refuse to give the seat?"

Feng Menglong said: "The humble minister is only opposed to the hypocritical etiquette, not against all the rituals. The distinction between monarch and minister is a great gift, and I dare not violate it. However, since the king has given you something, the humble minister dare not resign."

After speaking, Feng Menglong sat down on the chair in the hall.

Several rows of tables and chairs in the hall have now become permanent, unless there are too many courtiers summoned, and everyone can only stand, these tables and chairs will be removed.

Feng Menglong had already heard about Aimee Zhu's affairs, and when he came to the Hall of Martial Arts and saw these tables and chairs, he knew that most of the other ministers were sitting when discussing matters with the emperor.

Therefore, the previous refusal was nothing more than a polite gesture.

On the other side, Ruan Lizhen didn't feel any strange when she saw that Feng Menglong was given the seat.

In terms of age, she is 39 now, probably younger than Feng Menglong's daughter.In terms of status, she is just the daughter of a criminal minister and the wife of a scholar, and she has no official position before.

It is normal to not get a seat in this way.

However, there were not only female officials, but even female soldiers in this hall, which made her feel surprised.

Of course, the strangest thing is the empress of Ming Dynasty on the dragon chair.

This made her suddenly realize that there are many things women can do, not just love and love, husband and child.

Auntie Zhu is also looking at Ruan Lizhen.

I saw this woman who was nearly forty years old and could call herself an old woman in Damingzu. She looked only 32 three years old, and the crow's feet around her eyes were not obvious. Not only did she still have the charm, but she even had the charm of a mature woman.

Hao Guangming on the other side was thinking, if Cao Cao were here, he might cry greedily to Ruan Lizhen.

However, the two were not surprised by Ruan Lizhen's appearance.

Ruan Lizhen was originally a famous beauty in the late Ming Dynasty - it is said that in order to organize Ruan Dayue, the Jiangnan literati deliberately spread rumors that after Duoduo captured Jiangnan, Ruan Dayue dedicated Ruan Lizhen to him as a concubine in order to please Duoduo.

In fact, in history, Ruan Dayue did present a beautiful woman to Duoduo, but it was not Ruan Lizhen, but his niece.

After all, Ruan Lizhen is nearly forty years old, and I haven't heard that Duoduo has a special preference for married women and mature women. The rumors are actually untenable.

But through this incident, it also shows from the side that Ruan Lizhen is not as old as ordinary women, just like the noble ladies of later generations, she looks young.

"The reason why I summoned the two of you, I think you both already know." Aimee Zhu cut to the chase, "It is quite difficult for the imperial court's policies to be preached and passed on to the people in the countryside, and the common people don't trust the imperial court very much, so I I just want to use the method of 'going to the countryside for free performances' to publicize the imperial court's policies to the rural people."

After listening, Feng Menglong's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised: "Your Majesty's move is really ingenious. As far as I know, if the people see official people officially promoting some policies, they will always think that they are using excuses to squeeze the money in their pockets. Meaning of resistance.

However, if we can use opera to show the benefits of the policy to the people and the usefulness of the country, the people will be more likely to accept it. "

Auntie Zhu nodded with a smile, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Since Mr. Ziyou already understands what I think, I won't say more.

In this way, Zi Yougong temporarily served as the director of the Daming National Art Troupe (the sixth grade), and Ruan Lizhen temporarily served as the promotion of the opera club under the art troupe (the eighth grade).

After the Chinese New Year, you first start to form a troupe of operas to perform new operas. Based on the conspiracy of those nobles and landlords to frame the commissioner of Qingzhang and obstruct the reform of land tax as a blueprint, compile and produce a opera for me to see. Fineness.

You can recruit as much as you want, whether it's palace music and dance personnel or folk people.

But there is one thing I need to remind you—the new plays you create this time are mainly for ordinary people, especially those rural people who can't read big characters, so you must create them in a way that is easy to understand and grounded.Remember? "

Feng Menglong and Ruan Lizhen could still understand the previous words, but they were a little confused by the last sentence.

"Your Majesty, what is down-to-earth?" Feng Menglong asked.

"Uh," Zhu Wei was stunned for a while when asked, but fortunately she was reminded by Hao Guangming on the other side, and immediately said: "It is to get close to the real life of the common people, and don't make some false plots that are divorced from the common people's life."

Feng Menglong thought to himself, isn't this what I have always followed?

Immediately cupped his hands and responded, "I understand, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Ruan Lizhen also followed up to express her opinion - she really didn't know much about the prelude to the Holy Spirit, and after coming to Nanjing, she met the Holy Spirit directly, so she had no chance to ask Ruan Dayue for advice, so she could only learn from Feng Menglong.

Afterwards, Feng Menglong and Ruan Lizhen left, and people from the government office took them to arrange a place to live.

As for the address of the government office of the Daming National Art Troupe, they will also be allowed to choose from the mansions of some honorable and corrupt officials that were confiscated by the court.

Nowadays, there are quite a few criminal officials of this kind and old Xungui mansions in the hands of the imperial court, so it is not afraid that there will be no suitable ones.

Aunt Zhu was about to go back to the old house in Zhulin, but the little eunuch outside the palace came to report again, saying that Li Zhenwu asked to see her.

'It seems that Li Zhenwu probably finished the house raid before the Chinese New Year, but I don't know if there will be any mistakes or omissions. '

Thinking so in her heart, Aunt Zhu immediately sent Li Zhenwu into the palace.

　First more.

　　Correct the typo later.
