Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 36

"Master, why did Eunuch Liang leave... This servant is so talkative, this servant must learn more from Eunuch Liang!" Liu Jin was shocked by Liang Fang's leaving the palace, but quickly covered her mouth with both hands to express her loyalty.

Naturally, Zhu Youtang didn't need to reveal too much to Liu Jin. If he wanted to control everything now, he had to trust these people who were loyal to him, but he also needed to be careful.

The reason why I can easily gain loyalty has never been because of how strong my personality is, but because I, the emperor, can give them the benefits they dream of.

Wealth, power and women can be bestowed on others by oneself.

The reason why the civil official group supported itself as emperor was that their interests were already bound to themselves. Only when the Ming Dynasty did not fall could they keep their jobs.

It's just that if they can't guarantee their fundamental interests, they are likely to open the city gate to welcome the new king immediately.

Zhu Youtang is a person who has been severely beaten by the society, so naturally he would not naively think that all loyalty is unconditional, even if Liu Jin might not trade his loyalty for tomorrow.

Fortunately, judging from the current feedback, both Liu Jin and Huang Pan are absolutely loyal to themselves, and they are going all out to run errands on their own.

"Master, if there is nothing else, the servant will leave first!" Liu Jin saw that Zhu Youtang had started to read the examination papers of the Thirteenth Division of the Household Department, and chose to leave.

The rain outside has visibly decreased, with faint signs of stopping.

Niu Mengmeng, who was wearing court attire, walked in from the outside humming a tune, first squinted his bun face and looked at Zhu Youtang who was sitting in front of the desk, and then straightened his back to restore his dignified appearance.

Since she was promoted to be the maid in charge of Dongnuan Pavilion, her status has risen, and now she can be regarded as the grand maid of the entire Forbidden City.

Niu Mengmeng observed Zhu Youtang's reaction with his beautiful big eyes, and when he saw that Zhu Youtang seemed to be about to write, he rushed forward to help grind the ink.

Zhu Youtang was concentrating on reviewing the examination papers at this time. He thought that no one could answer all his questions, but there were still a few, and Liu Zhong, a member of the Guangdong Division of the Ministry of Accounting, and Chen Kun, a doctor of the Guangdong Division of the Ministry of Accounting, came directly into sight.

The reason why it took so much trouble this time is that they still want to promote the reform of the Ming Dynasty's salt administration, and they also want to take the opportunity to find some talents from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

As if finding gold in the sand, Zhu Youtang picked up the brush and dipped some ink in it, but asked without raising his head, "Where did you go just now?"

"I didn't run away. The maidservant just wandered around and even fed my little flower! But sister Erya just accidentally knocked over the dessert brought by the maid of Chengxi Palace, but the Division of Prudent Precepts actually wanted to cut through sister Erya This is too unreasonable." Niu Mengmeng seemed to take his whereabouts lightly, and then complained seriously.

Her voice is very pleasant, with a little nasal tone, and the word "sincerity" seems to be written on her fleshy face.Due to her personality, she paid close attention to the movements in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Youtang wrote down the names of several officials of the household department with a pen and said: "Isn't everyone all right now? You should be careful, don't run around all day, if you are really caught by the Prudential Police Department, I don't have time to talk to you Already!"

"Now everyone knows that I am the little red man around His Majesty. It is too late for them to curry favor with me. How dare they arrest me in the Department of Punishment? The Crown Princess invited me to Chengxi Palace this afternoon, and she also said that who would bully me in the future? Slave, she supports this slave!" Niu Mengmeng continued to grind his ink, his chin slightly lifted, and said triumphantly.

Zhu Youtang stared at Liu Zhong's name for a while, then turned out the answer sheet of Song Chaowei, a doctor in Guangxi, and asked, "What did you all say?"

"I've talked too much! Ask me about my family and the village, and ask if Your Majesty likes sister Erya!" Niu Mengmeng saw that Zhu Youtang didn't seem to need to write any more, so he put down the ink stick and said crisply.

Zhu Youtang saw that Song Chaowei's answer sheet was in a mess, so he asked calmly, "What do you say!"

"Naturally, my servant dare not lie to the Crown Princess, she must tell the truth! Sister Erya is so beautiful, and His Majesty has appointed her to warm your bed, so you must like Sister Erya, right? After the filial piety period is over tonight, Your Majesty We must pamper her, and Elder Sister Erya will be our master in the future!" Niu Mengmeng is a straightforward person, and immediately raised his face as a matter of course.

Zhu Youtang no longer cared about how to deal with Song Chaowei, the Guangxi Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and immediately raised his head to testify: "You really said that?"

"Your Majesty, isn't it like this? You don't like Elder Sister Erya?" Niu Mengmeng asked tentatively after staring at her big beautiful eyes.

Zhu Youtang looked at the girl's innocent face, if he hadn't understood the temperament of this fourteen or fifteen year old girl, he would definitely think that she deliberately pushed Erya into the fire pit.

It doesn't matter whether you want to pamper Erya or not, the important thing is that this inference falls into Zhang Yujiao's ears, no wonder Zhang Yujiao wants to be cautious about disfiguring Erya.

Zhu Youtang never imagined that Erya's misfortune today was caused by this scheming girl, and the culprit seems to be that the girl still doesn't know it.

"Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?" Niu Mengmeng asked with fear in his heart as Zhu Youtang stared at him.

Zhu Youtang took a deep breath, and immediately pointedly said: "You just told the princess today that I want to favor Erya's speculation, and Erya was arrested and disfigured by the Department of Prejudice because of a small mistake. Do you think these two things Is there no connection?"

Niu Mengmeng's mouth opened wide immediately, and he also figured out the causal relationship between these two things, but this fleshy face seemed to be about to cry.

"You don't need to blame yourself! What happened today didn't make a big mistake, and Erya's face is good today, but you have to think twice about what you say from now on!" Zhu Youtang knew that this girl did it unintentionally, so she took it seriously to teach.

Niu Mengmeng's eyes welled up with tears, but he nodded seriously with his mouth flattened.

She was called over by the Crown Princess this afternoon, and she was very excited at that time, especially when the Crown Princess gave her a lot of melon seeds.While eating melon seeds, she answered all the questions of the princess, but her guess about Erya was consistent with that of other sisters.

The rain outside had stopped, and the air washed by the rain was exceptionally fresh.

After Zhu Youtang finished handling the affairs in hand, he looked up at the full moon that had already come running out of the window, and found that this era is really beautiful everywhere.

Yujie gave birth to Bailu, and Yejiu invaded Luo socks.

But under the crystal curtain, looking at Qiuyue exquisitely.

After Zhu Youtang finished his day's work, he watched the court lady who served him put down the bead curtain, and couldn't help but think of Li Bai's "Jade Stairs Resentment".

Due to the autumn rain tonight, the weather suddenly turned cold again, and Erya, the lady warming the bed who had just stopped for a few days, resumed business, and her pair of long white legs stretched out from the bed.

Even though Zhu Youtang is a person who has read countless films, looking at this white-skinned beauty with exquisite features and a top-notch body, his eyes can't help but stay on her body.

In terms of beauty and figure alone, it is indistinguishable from the retouching techniques and artworks of later generations, but when it comes to the competition of beauties in ancient costumes, this woman can beat the fake ancient beauties of later generations by a few streets.

The two court ladies stepped forward and helped Zhu Youtang change clothes skillfully.Since Zhu Youtang had the habit of rinsing his mouth before going to bed, the maid also brought tea.

cough!
Eunuch Feng has been observing Zhu Youtang, noticing that Zhu Youtang's gaze fell on Erya again, he led the other court ladies and eunuchs out of the outer hall with a wink.

As everyone exited the outer hall, the men and women inside became more ambiguous.

"You weren't scared today, were you?" Zhu Youtang looked at the thinly dressed beauty in front of his eyes, but he still expressed concern after all.

Erya's delicate body trembled slightly, but she quickly adjusted her mood and lowered her head and replied: "Thank you for your concern, slave is fine!"

"It's good to have nothing to do! If you encounter such a thing in the future, you can directly say that you are from the Qing Dynasty, so you don't have to be polite to them!" Zhu Youtang realized that this woman was indeed far more mature and calm than Niu Mengmeng, but he still warned seriously.

Erya gritted her teeth, but suddenly mustered up her courage and asked: "Your Majesty, you... you want a servant to sleep with you, right?"

Such is the fate of the maid of honor!Once His Majesty takes a fancy to them, they will obediently sleep in bed. This is the only way for them to change their fate.

Although Zhu Youtang is a hot-blooded young man, he still possesses a certain amount of self-control, but he reached out to support her chin and said, "No, I just care about you! Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing on Revlon. Wouldn't it be a pity to scratch it?"

"The concubine has not given birth to the king, and the concubine is already old. The concubine dare not expect extravagant concubines, and is willing to serve the emperor as a court lady in the Qing palace!" After all, Er Ya is not a court lady who is not ignorant of world affairs, and she boldly greets Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang looked at her charming eyes, and finally chose to trust her: "I agree!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Erya was overjoyed in her heart, and thanked her immediately with a salute.

Seeing Shili's Erya's spring light suddenly appeared, Zhu Youtang waved the woman away helplessly, and got into the warmed bed, preparing to recharge his batteries for tomorrow's battle.
