Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 248

As night fell, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit.

After taking a bath, Zhu Youtang came to Dongnuan Pavilion to read the latest information.

In fact, he has always vaguely felt that there is a force in this capital that he cannot see. Unlike the Qingliu group headed by Xu Pu earlier, this force is deeply hidden.

It's just that even during the Spring Festival, he couldn't find a flaw, so that he had to suspect that he was nervous, maybe there was no such force at all.

While Zhu Youtang was browsing the information carefully, the eunuch in the respect room came over with a tray with sixteen signs neatly placed on it.

Behind every brand there will be a stunning beauty, and this stunning beauty will be the qualifications of a big star in future generations.

The beard and hair of the eunuch in the respect room were all white, but that loyalty seemed to have been fused into his bones, and he reminded respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's time to turn the cards!"

Except for the [-]th day which is exclusively dominated by the queen, the rest of the days are usually determined by flopping cards.

Zhu Youtang saw that one of the wooden signs had an obvious red-headed logo, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Has Miss Lian come to the moonflower?"

"Exactly!" The eunuch in the respect room responded in a drawn-out tone.

Zhu Youtang learned that Lianmei, who worked the hardest, failed to be recruited, and the other women probably didn't need to have too much expectation, so he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Some things really cannot be done by human beings, no matter how much you sow, you may not be able to reap.It's just that this kind of thing really doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and now I'm only nineteen years old, even if I cultivate alone, it won't be effective until the fourth year of Hongzhi.

Now I am using the radio method, and the effect may be even worse, so I can only resign myself to fate.

In fact, Zhu Youtang probably knew the locations and symbols of several brands, and he had always deliberately favored them in turn, but thinking that these women were not up to date, he decided to open up those little-known Jiubi brands.

Although the nine concubines are all my own women, after all, they have less contact time. In fact, in my heart, I can't compare with Qingyue and Fan Jinling, so I regard them more as my hope for childbearing.

"Your Majesty, you turned over Lin Chongyuan!" The eunuch in the respect room seriously reminded him after seeing the card.

Chongyuan is one of the titles of the nine concubines, and Lin Chongyuan's real name is Lin Qiqi.

Zhu Youtang remembered that he actually had another nine concubines who did not "sleep", and it seemed that this was Lin Chongyuan.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, but that when it was the turn of the concubine Jiu, he was still worrying about the war in the Li Dynasty.That night, I saw her too nervous, scared, and even crying softly in the quilt, so I simply slept with her.

It's just that there are as many as nine concubines after all, and they have no emotional basis or political interests, so they focus more on other women.

Zhu Youtang is not the kind of person who doesn't respect the rules of the game, if this Jiuqing cries to send him away again, so he raised his hand lightly: "Go down!"

"Obey!" Seeing that the emperor had no objection, the eunuch in the respect room immediately retired respectfully.

The candle was about to burn out, and Niu Mengmeng, who was wearing a light red long dress, brought a new one. He walked very lightly, but he didn't dare to make the slightest sound, and then stood here to watch over the candle. .

Fire prevention relies more on manpower, so this is an important responsibility of hers.

Although staring at the candle can make people sleepy, but she was born in a farming family, and now she lives in this place where the wind and rain are out of the way, and there is meat for every meal, which is enough to make her feel happy every day.

Since the last time Niu Mengmeng learned court etiquette with the three hundred beautiful girls, he is still standing upright now, but whenever he looks at Zhu Youtang who is writing, he can't help being curious.

Zhu Youtang was looking at the information by the light. The massacre of the Qian family caused panic among the people in the capital. Naturally, corresponding information was sent to the palace.

If the case of the extermination of the Qian family is not a coincidence, it must be related to the land in the northern suburbs, and the biggest dislike is naturally the potential successor of the land.

In fact, on the eve of the Spring Festival, five fires broke out outside the city, and there were as many as five murders, and the motives of these people were all seeking land.

Capitalists dare to trample on all the laws of the world for a profit of [-]%, but now there are dozens of times the profit, it is indeed inevitable for people to take risks.

In particular, residents living outside the city can explain their social status. Facing the nobles and families of important ministers in the capital, they really have no capital to fight.

Just like that, he had every reason to believe that the person who ordered those gangsters to slaughter the Qian family was not a vendetta, but plotting the Qian house that was about to increase in value dozens of times.

Du San?

Du Ming?

Seeing that Du San was actually Du Ming's housekeeper, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After going on for a long time, the suspect is the steward of the important minister he relies on, and the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be this important minister——Shangshu Du Ming of the Ministry of Punishment.

Although Du Ming might not dare to do such a frenzied thing, it is inevitable that the Du family has a few helpless family members, and the income from this land speculation is so attractive.

The second year of Hongzhi was indeed an eventful year. The first assistant Wan An had just let him go with a blink of an eye, and now he met Du Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Justice.

If Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, falls, although it will not hurt his muscles and bones, it will indeed have an adverse effect on his control of the court.

After all, Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, was the first Shangshu to surrender to him, but now that he is carrying out the liquidation with his own hands, it feels like breaking the river and tearing down the bridge, which will affect other people's loyalty to him.

Zhu Youtang held his breath and concentrated, and then gave instructions on the board: "Investigate thoroughly!"

If only some gray income is involved, I can turn a blind eye and close one eye.It's just that it is absolutely impossible for him to cover up a major case involving human life, especially the heinous murder case.

Now I just hope that Du Ming didn't personally get involved in it, otherwise even the Shang Shu who surrendered to him the first time, even if he was his right-hand man, he would have to kill him.

In the end, what I have to do is to lead China to a truly prosperous emperor, and to create a world full of justice. There is no compromise in my dictionary.

The candlelight flickered slightly, and the entire East Nuan Pavilion was glowing with a faint orange light.

aim!
A tabby cat walked in from the outside with unrecognizable steps. It ignored its titular owner, but gave a flattering call to the yawning Niu Mengmeng.

When Niu Mengmeng saw the flower cat appear, his eyes lit up immediately, as if thinking of something, then he turned his head and nervously looked at Zhu Youtang in front of the case.

Zhu Youtang naturally noticed this scene, but continued to sort out the information in his hands without raising his head, and then ordered lightly: "Take Xiaohua out to play!"

"Yes!" Niu Mengmeng's eyes were like crescent moons, and Dang even happily picked up the cat beside him and responded.

Seeing Niu Mengmeng's disappearing back, the eunuchs and maids serving here couldn't help flashing envy in their eyes.

Zhu Youtang feels that having a cat is equivalent to not having a cat, but the little cat is very docile when it meets him. He usually likes to stroke the cat in the evening when the cat has just taken a bath to relieve stress.

It's just that at night, stroking cats is not as good as spending time on stroking people.

The semicircular moon is already hanging high and is slowly evolving towards the full moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Since there was no influence of the Renyin Palace Change, the concubines who came to serve the bed are all neatly dressed, and the concubines who are familiar with them will go to Dongnuan Pavilion first.

Lin Chongyuan is only 17 years old, with a delicate face, fair skin, a pair of bright moon-like eyes, and small dimples, which just give people a feeling of pity.

A girl who was crying at night for the first time was naturally soft-tempered.

According to the usual arrangement, she appeared to be lying on the bed in an orderly manner, and when she saw Zhu Youtang appearing, a trace of panic flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Probably after a long period of psychological construction, now of course he wants to cater to Zhu Youtang, at least he didn't cry when he saw Zhu Youtang at this moment.

Zhu Youtang opened his hands, and someone took off his clothes, leaving only the innermost white underwear.Although his figure is not muscular, it has the symmetry of a handsome man.

Seeing that Zhu Youtang was going to do something, Liu Jin immediately sent the eunuchs and court ladies away, while he waited outside with the female officer in charge of keeping records.

"Chongyuan, I heard that you like to study very much on weekdays?" Although Zhu Youtang's relationship with the nine concubines was unfamiliar, he took the initiative to communicate with him after knowing some things in advance.

Lin Qiqi nodded lightly at first, just worried that Zhu Youtang would not see her movements, and then added: "Well, my minister... my concubine likes poetry!"

"Chongyuan, whose poems do you like?" Zhu Youtang saw that the girl's attention was diverted by him, so he stretched out a hand to ask.

Lin Qiqi's eyes brightened slightly, and she said with admiration, "Li Qingzhao!"

"So you like drinking?" Zhu Youtang thought of Li Qingzhao's hobby, and gently pulled the knot on her chest.

Lin Qiqi shook her head lightly, her pretty face showed a bit of disgust and said: "I have drank it twice, but I don't like the taste!"

"Then you like to go to Renshou Palace to play mahjong and gamble!" Zhu Youtang untied the next knot again, and continued to ask calmly.

Lin Qiqi shook her head slightly again, her beautiful eyes were full of clarity: "The concubine has played mahjong a few times in Renshou Palace, but we never gamble!"

"Okay, then which poem by Li Qingzhao do you like?" Zhu Youtang saw that the underwear had been undone, swallowed and looked at the red bellyband.

Lin Qiqi didn't seem to realize that her clothes had been taken off, and seemed to be completely in Zhu Youtang's rhythm: "Last night, the rain was dredging and the wind was blustery, and the sleep was so heavy that I couldn't get rid of the residual wine. I tried the man with the curtain, but the begonia was still the same. Do you know, do you know?" It should be green, fat, red and thin."

"Rumengling! Chongyuan, do you know which song I like!" Zhu Youtang saw that Lin Qiqi seemed to want to look down, so he reached out to touch her pretty face and asked.

Lin Qiqi's pretty face was slightly red, but she did not reject Zhu Youtang at all, so she asked curiously: "Your Majesty, do you also know Li Qingzhao's words?"

"Not only do I know, but I can also recite it!" Zhu Youtang found that although the woman with eyes was small and exquisite, her face was indeed impeccable.

The emperor in Lin Qiqi's impression would not understand this, let alone the words of a poetess, her eyes could not hide her doubts: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Looking and looking, it's cold and clear, miserable and miserable. When it's warm and cold, it's hardest to take a breath. Three cups and two light wine, how can you beat him, and the wind is strong at night! The geese are passing, and I am sad, but it is Old acquaintance..." Zhu Youtang looked at this girl who was completely attracted by the words, and took the opportunity to lean her body against her.

Lin Qiqi already felt the big hand climbing up through the bellyband, but she didn't reject it at the moment, but she already felt that the two had a red thread of fate. At least the emperor knew Li Qingzhao's words as well as herself.

"Chongyuan, do you like Qu?" Zhu Youtang's face was already pressed against Lin Qiqi's, and they could already hear each other's heartbeats.

Lin Qiqi was also full of curiosity about the emperor in front of her, and her heart was pounding. Originally, she planned to come here tonight to be a mermaid, but now she also asked curiously: "Your Majesty, do you still understand the song?"

"It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the world, and they are all ruined like this. What a beautiful day!" Zhu Youtang knew that there was an emotional girl in front of him, so he decided to give her something powerful.

When Lin Qiqi heard the last sentence, it was a peerless song that she had never heard before, and she looked at the man in front of her in shock as if her heart stopped beating.

"Whose house is the place to enjoy the pleasure? Flying in the morning and evening, clouds and green pavilions, rain and wind, smoke and waves and boats, the people of Jinping look at the cheapness of this time. But for you, you are as beautiful as a flower, like a stream of water..." Zhu Youtang When he sang the last two lines, he looked affectionately at the girl in front of him.

Lin Qiqi's bellyband had been torn off, but she seemed to forget everything at the moment, her beautiful eyes couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, you are really talented!"

"Wrong!" Zhu Youtang had completely taken the initiative, condescendingly looked down at the girl who was facing him and corrected her.

Lin Qiqi had already been conquered spiritually, and she responded blankly: "What's wrong?"

"You are now called an official, and I actually have higher talents!" Zhu Youtang is not planning to be a cultural person at this moment, but to be an upright official.

Lin Qiqi didn't know why Zhu Youtang changed his name, but soon she couldn't speak. At the same time, she felt that Zhu Youtang's weight was heavier than expected, and she was rougher than she expected, but there was a faint feeling in her heart. joy.

The night sky was very clear, with only a semicircular bright moon hanging high.

Meow!
A flower cat was squatting in the empty courtyard of the Qianqing Palace. After hearing the movement inside the Qianqing Palace, it yelled at the bright moon on the top of the palace.

That night, the whole room seemed to be full of music, accompanied by wooden sounds, but the girl finally cried, and the cry was miserable.

Although the sun will still rise tomorrow, although there will still be a lot of government affairs tomorrow, and although I will lose an important minister tomorrow, someone at this moment feels the joy of belonging to the emperor.
