eldest son of Ming dynasty

Canzhu undresses slowly, and whispers lightly in the heavy curtain.Even if I have been taught, it seems that no matter how much I teach this kind of thing, it is not as good as being there. I have expectations and fears coexisting in my heart, and at the same time I am afraid that I will not do it right.

To be honest, too many emotions like this can spoil the atmosphere.At one time, Zhu Houzhao began to understand Cao Cao, after all, he was a little older and could hurt others.

But he also went with the flow, just like tonight was not planned.Because this kind of thing, if it is an accident, it is actually quite interesting.So a little bit of guidance to reach the other shore.

It was the last piece of clothing that was really hard to take off. The candles in the hall were flickering, flickering in the dimness, and the two people on the left and right lowered their heads and looked sideways.

At a certain moment, the picture seems to be frozen like this.

But they still worked hard, and stretched out their hands without looking, "...Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao pressed the lotus root arm, "I don't want to embarrass you, why don't you lie down?"

Hiding under the quilt like this, he dared to take off his clothes.

So following his words, everything happened again like this.

"Turn the face to flow the flowers and snow, get on the bed and embrace the clumps, the mandarin ducks dance neck and neck, the emerald accompaniment cage, the brows and black eyebrows gather together frequently, the lips are warmer and more mellow, the air is clear and fragrant, the skin is moist and the muscles are plump, and the wrist is weak and lazy, How tender and bowing. This was written by Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty... The air is clear and fragrant, the skin is moist and the muscles are plump. In the past, I thought the ancients were so serious, but I didn’t expect to write about skin-to-skin relationships.”

The bed is warm and warm, and the body temperature rises due to steaming. Zhu Houzhao has lived for two lifetimes and never thought that he would ask this question, but he still has to ask, that is...

"Which one of you will come first?"

……

"Your Majesty, let Huaiyan come first."

"My sister will come first."

"I'm an older sister, I have to give in to my younger sister."

……

In the middle of the night, Zhu Houzhao didn't sleep well.

Because his performance was unsatisfactory, he has been looking for reasons to comfort himself.

In fact, he still kept exercising.

Slightly dissatisfied.

I continued to sleep lightly with the idea of ​​trying again in a few days.

On the contrary, the two girls seemed to have something on their minds, and they fell asleep very quickly under his coaxing.

Fortunately, being young, a bad night's sleep did not affect his state.

In the morning of the second day, the eunuch woke up as usual.Although the Mei sisters were sleepy, they didn't dare to delay, lest some speaker in the court would attend them again with a memorial.

At night in ancient times, the lighting conditions were still not good.Zhu Houzhao can only see it clearly in the sunlight during the daytime. The so-called spring solstice, the flowers in the world are colorful, and the nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and it is probably the same.

The younger sister learned from her elder sister to help the emperor get dressed, probably accidentally bumped into something, and quickly withdrew her hand and exclaimed.

Huai Xiao saw that her movements were less stable, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed, "It's okay, Xiao Jizi is drinking water with his face turned upside down, that's a good thing."

He thinks he is very healthy, just try again next time.

The important events of the early court could not be delayed, and the emperor left in a chariot after he had better clothes.

Dressed up, smiling and looking at each other full of shyness,
The elder sister took the younger sister's hand, "Then let's go back to Yongshou Palace."

"it is good."

"Think about it too, if you have any good ideas, we can also thank Miss Qiuyun."

The source of this matter is still her.

But this matter is scary and difficult for the two of them, after all, they don't know what Qiuyun needs.And don't even think about that.

Women are actually strange and lovely creatures.For example, I didn't feel that there was anything before, but afterward, I felt that my whole body and mind belonged to someone else.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think so much about continuing to reminisce.Because, Yang Yiqing has entered Beijing.

Along with him are Zhou Shangwen and Yang Shangyi.

When Zhou Shangwen came back, there was a scar of a few centimeters on his forehead, which was not deep, but it was also obvious and completely visible.

Some people thought it was ugly, but when Zhu Houzhao saw it, his favorability for this famous general who was named in the history books increased.

Zhou Shangwen also submitted a military report. According to the rules set by the prince who supervised the country in the 12th year of Hongzhi, the generals of the Ming cavalry had to submit reports to the emperor every six months.

For such important government affairs, it is actually a good way to submit them regularly, because no one dares to obstruct this memorial.

The three of them waited until the emperor finished reading the memorial.

"...Thinking back to Zhengtong, Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi years, in the past 70 years, our Ming Dynasty has lost more and more victories against the Tatars, especially the defeat of the Tumu Fortress, which caused the humiliation of our ancestors and the loss of national prestige. Knowing the shame and then being brave, Zhou Aiqing galloped across the desert and dared to meet the enemy, regardless of the outcome of the battle, this soldier's bravery alone deserves my praise!"

"Ten months ago, when Zhou Aiqing's military report came to Beijing, some ministers in the court even made rude remarks, saying that the court officers and soldiers attacked rashly. I didn't pay attention to it. How can I be the kind of king who can be bullied?! General Yang came out of Ningxia, General Zhou came out of Datong, and I decided to repeat the national policy to tell the Tatars, and from then on, the offense and defense will change!"

Snapped!
Both Zhou Shangwen and Yang Shangyi were military generals. They heard that the emperor was such a vigorous monarch, and they felt confident when they bowed their hands, "As the generals of the Ming Dynasty, we must guard the land of the Ming Dynasty! I am willing to fight bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty." Yang Yiqing also said, "I'm in the northwest, and I've also heard that the sea in the southeast is successful. From then on, all the military supplies in the northwest can come from the sea trade. Within three years, I will definitely drive the Tartars to the north and flee to the desert, and reappear our dynasty. The might of the Great Ancestor!"

"En. The three of you are all ministers I rely on. In the matter of the northwest, you and my ministers will work together. I heard that the little prince of Mongolia is also a generation of British lords. He conquered the east and west and wanted to promote the unification of Mongolia." Zhu Houzhao With a slight smile, "There are heroes in the world, how can I not be happy?! Yanzhang, you have already fought against him, what do you think of this person?"

Zhou Shangwen replied: "The little Mongolian prince ascended the throne as a young man. He secured his throne under the leadership of his adoptive mother and wife Manduhaihatun. Manduhaihatun is a strange woman in the Mongolian tribe. She can ride a horse and shoot arrows." , led the army to fight. During the Hongzhi period, Mandu Haihatun led the little prince to conquer Wala and forced him to move westward to relieve the threat from the west. In recent years, he has focused on cracking down on power officials with different surnames who are good at governance. Machi was defeated and his power was greatly reduced. After being included in the grassland, he was also included in his account. Right now, except for the 18 households led by the right-wing Yongxiebuzhi and Agule of Ordos, the rest of the Monan Mongolian tribes Lead with it."

Yang Yiqing reported, "The ministers and others made a mistake, and Hongzhi made a wedding dress for the enemy chieftain in the First World War in 18 years. Please punish him."

"This statement is wrong." Zhu Houzhao stood up, "The fire sieves the bandits and enters the customs, plunders my people, and harms the people. Can I, the king of the Ming Dynasty, coax him? As a matter of fact, there is no reason not to fight back when scolded, or to fight back. Therefore, the battle of Huamachi greatly increased the country's prestige, and it was a great victory for our Ming army. As for the vertical and horizontal strategies, use them if they can be used, and discard them if they cannot be used. So, is Daming going to put his hopes on winning over a few Mongolian tribes?"

The emperor's words were full of momentum.

Even generals like Yang Shangyi and Zhou Shangwen had to be convinced.

Yang Yiqing has surrendered with all his heart since he acted as Ma Zheng. With such a monarch, he will definitely make great achievements and leave a name forever. As a literati, what more can he ask for?

"Your Majesty is wise. A country of gentlemen should follow the righteous way. I believe that the restoration of the national policy will be carried out in three years. In the first year of Zhengde, the court needs to prepare another [-] troops, and in the next year, [-]. In this way, the army will attack. In field battles, the Ming army did not lose to the Tatars!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "I don't have so many soldiers for you. I don't have that much money. In the first year of Zhengde, I prepared [-] cavalry and handed them over to Ningxia Town for your control. In addition to cavalry, you should pay more to the army of the guard in the northwest. Practice, in addition, pay attention... to train some spies, if possible, can you draw a topographic map?"

Before the big court meeting, the important issues in the repackage must be discussed in private.

If you don't say yes, how long will you talk about such a big country and so many things?The big things are solved by the general meeting, and the big things are solved by the small meeting. This is the essence.

On the other side, Yang Shangyi probably felt that he had no chance to shine too much, so he reported, "Your Majesty, after the imperial court prepared [-] cavalry in the first year of Zhengde, I would like to request an order to patrol the borders of the Great Wall!"

"Zunzuo, wars can't always be fought by them. We have to find a way to fight them. We have the Great Wall and the city. What do they have? So we have to find a way to fight into their territory and plunder some cattle. When the sheep come back, they will prey on the soldiers, as long as they harass them a few times, they will lose their footing. However, I agree with you to cross the Great Wall, and I don’t want you to go deep blindly. You can make meritorious deeds, but don’t rush.”

Zhu Houzhao knew Yang Shangyi's psychology, but he could only remind him so far.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to praise Zhou Shangwen greatly while preventing Yang Shangyi from attacking.

People's livelihood issues are important, and military issues are equally important.

In addition to meeting with the officials in charge of the provinces, Zhu Houzhao actually attached great importance to the frontier army and the Beijing camp.He will not investigate the issue of military settlements at this time, the time is not yet ripe, but he will focus on the construction of some troops, especially the Beijing camp.

The Beijing Camp also has construction goals.One of these items is firearms.

Among the three battalions established by Emperor Yongle, the Shenji Battalion was actually the Firearms Battalion.Most of the cannons at this time were filled with stones, lead, iron, etc., which were actually solid bullets, but a few were also equipped with explosive pellets. Great all over the world.

In addition to cannons, the Ming army also had blunderbusses, which were the standard weapons of the Ming army and produced tens of thousands of blunderbusses. This kind of blunderbuss was widely used in the defense of Beijing after the Battle of Tumubao.

Of course, over the years, both the firecrackers and the cannons have probably fallen into disrepair.

From the first year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao will definitely advocate getting out of this state.

As the emperor, he didn't have to worry too much. As March was approaching, some news about the Great Court Assembly was gradually spreading in the official circles of the capital.

In the past, the emperor frequently summoned ministers, and most of them had the opportunity to "report" to the emperor, but people's energy was limited, and the court's financial resources were also limited.

In other words, not all suggestions will be adopted, even if they are reasonable, for example, some people have proposed to check the military settlements; not all things will enter the scope of the imperial court's deliberations.

What is the meeting of the Great Court in March, this matter is decided by the emperor.

This is an important manifestation of the exercise of power, that is, deciding issues.I will discuss what I say, and I will not discuss what I say I will not discuss.

Among these issues, there are two that are absolutely unquestionable: retracing and opening the sea. Basically, it is certain that taxation and horse administration should be mentioned more, such as river engineering, the city that never sleeps, academies, imperial examinations, and emperor Big marriage, Hami, official administration, etc.

On February 24, the first year of Zhengde.

An imperial decree came out from the palace, and the emperor had agreed with the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department that the Great Court Conference would officially begin on the first day of March, and it would be held for seven consecutive days, with one topic per day.

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao thought in his heart not to talk about seven things, that is, if he can do one thing well every year, after ten years of work, the country should be prosperous.

After the imperial decree came out, the officialdom in the capital began to boil, even scalding.

There are only seven topics, seven out of four, not much left.

As a result, Wang Jia, Han Wen, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Mao, Min Yu and other ministers trusted by the emperor were about to be stepped on. Officials from all walks of life wanted to explain more about their own affairs. It would be best for these people to explain to the emperor Play the report again.

But in fact, there is no one who can influence Zhu Houzhao.

XNUM X days,

Another imperial decree of Qianqing Palace was published in the mansion newspaper.

"Here we come! The first day's agenda of the Great Court Conference: Re-set!"

Another two-story and spacious restaurant was built outside the Zhengyang Gate in the southern city of the capital, named Shuiyunjian.The southern city of the capital is becoming more and more lively. When businessmen see business opportunities here, they naturally open their doors here to do business first.

Compared with the Linglong restaurant in the past, Shuiyunjian was built wider and more exquisite, and gradually became the new favorite of the elite in Beijing.Moreover, Zhengyangmen is separated from the main yamen of the imperial court such as Liubu, and a lot of news gathers here.

But today's news of the duplication is not surprising.

The rich and powerful sons who were drinking and having fun didn't even reward the younger ones, and even laughed and scolded: "I want you to tell me what the whole capital knows. Want to use this to cheat money?"

Xiao Er didn't know anything about being an official, he only knew that there were a lot of visitors recently, and the official position seemed to be quite high, so it was said that it was the Grand Court Meeting on March [-]st, so he thought that was it.I didn't want to hit a wall.

I was smarter the next day, so I stopped shouting.

It's the children of good deeds who exclaimed,
"The topic of the second day of the Grand Court Meeting was actually He Gong!"

"what?"

"Isn't it open to the sea?"

……

A group of people on the second floor shared their shock with each other, and Xiaoer next to him was dumbfounded, and one of them even slapped his own mouth. There should be a reward for shouting today, right?

……

"The topic of the Great Court Conference is determined by His Majesty, and the reintroduction is a national policy, and it should be the first topic. However, the discussion of Hegong is indeed unexpected."

"What's the accident? There is a poem that says: He lives in a dangerous place and his production is thin, and he lives on the shore of this river for generations. The imperial court envoys promote water conservancy, and the flat wheel and the side wheel! The people rely on the land, and the governance of a river will benefit There are thousands of people. Your majesty will be the next generation of Mingjun, just like this!"

"What you said is true! Now that the imperial court discusses the river construction, the world can expect it! It should be clear!"

"Not bad! The Holy King is in power, and the prosperous age can be expected!"

The plain-headed people nearby couldn't understand poetry, but they could understand Zhihe and Shengjun, which was always a good thing anyway, so most of them were happy.

"It seems that it is a good thing for the emperor to organize this court meeting?"

"It is said that there are seven days and seven topics, and only two have come out!"

In this way, the entire capital was whetted by the emperor. What will be the next five?
===
Well. .

Today I wrote a small four thousand, tired.There are always a few days in every month.
