"he's gone."
"There are no outsiders in the court."
"I'm telling you something that comes from the bottom of my heart."
"Learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family."
"You have worked so hard to study the books of sages and took the imperial examination for what purpose?"
"For power! To be able to stand here!"
"But who gave these to you?"
"It's me! It's the emperor!"
"You guys, don't pick up the bowl and say it smells delicious, and then put the bowl down and curse!"
"Sage Kong was a great man of China, the backbone of the Han people, and the forefather of Confucianism. He deserves to be remembered for generations!"
"But the Kong family is not worthy!"
"This Ming Dynasty was conquered by my ancestors, and this country belongs to me!"
"You are the one who governs the country!"
"It is the common people who pay taxes to the court!"
"If we talk about merit, I, you, and the people all have merit."
"The Kong family doesn't have one, it's just relying on the legacy of our ancestors!"
"I know that the Kong family represents Zhengshuo, but since the Ming Dynasty was founded nearly a hundred years ago, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and all people have surrendered. I am Zhengshuo. Do I need anyone to prove it?"
"The legacy of Saint Kong has given them thousands of years of wealth and honor. They should be content."
"In the future, you should work hard to gain wealth."
"If they want to get wealth and honor from the Ming Dynasty, they must make some contributions to the Ming Dynasty."
"The emperor can still guard the country, so what do they mean? I ask them to guard the country, because I think highly of them! Give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"
"I will not hesitate to reward you for your merits! If you make a mistake, you should be punished!"
"If any of you are still confused, stop standing here and go to Liaodong to farm and support the master in your heart."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like daggers.
"I don't dare." Hundreds of officials kowtowed.
"Those scholars must bear responsibility if they make mistakes."
"If there is any family member of yours, then just admit it. If you give birth to such an unfilial son, you will be beaten to death."
"If there is anyone in the family who reads stupidly, strangle him to death as soon as possible and don't let him go."
"Things outside Beijing will naturally be taken care of, so you don't have to worry."
"No one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"
"When you eat from now on, before you pick up your rice bowl, read it loudly three times. What you are carrying is my rice bowl! I am the one who gives you food! I give you power!"
"The master in your heart can only be me!"
"If it hadn't been for the Ming Dynasty, you would still be wearing Hu clothes, wagging your tail to the Hu dogs and begging for mercy!"
"If it weren't for me, you would still be fighting with wild dogs for food."
"I've got it all figured out."
"I moved to the Kong family for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, not for my selfish desires."
"I also want to be an emperor peacefully and out of sight. Anyway, Shandong is so far away and I can't see it. I also want to leave a good reputation so that future generations can regard him as a sage king and a virtuous king."
"However, my legacy must be passed on, and the Ming Dynasty must be passed on."
"If I don't do it, who will?"
"If I don't bear the infamy, who will?"
"I'm not afraid of being scolded, nor am I afraid of being poked in the back. As long as the country is in good shape, the people can have enough to eat, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I'll be content!"
"Even if I am nailed to the pillar of shame in history in future generations, and placed alongside the faint kings of all dynasties, I will have no regrets."
"My lords, ask yourselves, which of the things I did was for my own selfish desires?"
"No!"
"I dare to swear to my ancestors that everything I do is for the good of the Ming Dynasty! It is a good thing for the inheritance of the country!"
"I'm not complaining, I'm just telling you what's on my mind."
"The Ming Dynasty is good, I am good, and all the ministers are good. We must clearly distinguish priorities and conflicts, and don't be blinded by the petty gains in front of you."
"They are all the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace. They are all human beings. I would like to remind you to use your brain in everything. The brain is on your neck. It is not for fun, it is for you to think!"
"That's it, everyone, get up."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, his mood waning.
Most of the emperors who do things are faint-hearted and tyrants; but those who rule from the top must be virtuous kings through the ages.
The atmosphere in Fengtian Palace was strange.
"Let's continue the discussion."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I discussed with Geng Jiuchou yesterday. We will use internal funds to buy mulberry saplings, silkworm saplings, and fruit saplings to give to the people of the capital. We will also collect the wasteland in the capital and temporarily build it into an imperial village. We will plant some cotton and open space." Then plant trees..."
"Your Majesty, is this Imperial Mansion the former Imperial Mansion?" Bai Gui asked bluntly as he just took office.
"I plan to recruit refugees, plant the land for one year first, and then distribute the land to them next year. I have said before that the royal family does not have an imperial palace."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Yongle Dynasty established the Imperial Mansion, firstly to reward the meritorious officials; secondly, to collect the fertile farmland that had been abandoned."
"I don't have a farm, so I really can't reward heroes."
"Even the title I bestowed was not given to the land, because I don't have it in my hands. If I were to give the land, it would be to seize the people's land and force the good people to become tenants. I am not willing to do that."
"So, I plan to divide the pastures in Mobei and entrust them to the heroes."
"First of all, it will help the capital control Mobei and prevent it from becoming independent."
"Secondly, I really have no land left to divide."
All the officials rolled their eyes wildly, you are definitely the stingiest emperor, bar none.
"but."
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "In the future, I will distribute the shares of the Royal Commercial Bank to meritorious officials with noble titles."
"Don't underestimate the Royal Trading Company. With my support, think about it, what is the future of this trading company?"
"In a while, merchants from all over the world will also come to Beijing."
"Business in Beijing and China will prosper soon."
"That's all, I won't say more, you can taste it yourself."
Zhu Qiyu said half of his words.
The ministers are all worried. Can the emperor really benefit them?
I also feel that it is unrealistic. The emperor is so picky. He is willing to give benefits, but he has to pay for them with merit.
"Where does Your Majesty plan to purchase mulberry seedlings from?" Zhu Ying was tall and had a magnetic voice.
"What do you think, Minister Zhu?"
"Reporting to your majesty, oranges are oranges when they grow in Huainan, and oranges when they grow in northern Huaibei. We are worried that the mulberry seedlings introduced from other places may not be suitable for the soil and water of the capital." Zhu Ying said truthfully.
"I really didn't expect this."
Zhu Qiyu said: "It just so happens that your Agriculture Bureau will be responsible for this matter. How much money will be spent will be reported to the internal funds and the internal funds will be paid out."
"Wei Chen accepts the order."
Zhu Ying added: "Your Majesty, I think it would be a bit monotonous to plant only mulberry trees. You can also plant some poplars, locust trees, willows, etc. on the roads of the capital, and the people are not allowed to cut them down."
"This is a good idea. It should not only be planted on the streets of Beijing."
"Plant them outside the city. There are many such trees in Beijing. They are easy to plant and don't cost much. They are economical."
"This time, no labor will be added to the people. The central government will pay for it. If you plant a tree, you will be given a copper plate."
"As the emperor, I can bring some benefits to the people of the capital."
Zhu Qiyu finally bleeds.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Zhu Ying knelt down and bowed.
"Zhu Ying, the Agricultural Bureau is short of people. Let's go to the Juren. The Agricultural Bureau mainly deals with agriculture and does not need the advanced knowledge of Jinshi. Juren are more than enough."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The dynasty has been raising scholars for hundreds of years, and there is an endless stream of people who are neither good nor bad."
"It also saves them from being idle at home, talking nonsense, and causing trouble for the family."
"Just go to the Agricultural Bureau and serve the court."
Zhu Qiyu asked people to record it.
"Your Majesty, you have to take the imperial examination to be a Jinshi. I am worried that you may not be willing to do hard work among the people." Zhu Ying complained.
"Hmph, how noble do they think they are?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Just pick whoever you like and recruit them directly. If you don't agree, you will be deprived of the title of Juren and go home to farm. If you don't obey the orders in the Agricultural Bureau, I will send a eunuch to guard them and punish them directly. If you don't obey, you will be beaten!" Beat him to death!"
All the officials in the court are angry and the eunuchs interfere in politics, which is a great harm to the dynasty!
However, everyone can see that the emperor attaches great importance to the Agricultural Bureau.
"Your Majesty, agriculture is the foundation of our country, no negligence is allowed!"
Geng Jiuchou took a step forward and said, "If beating doesn't work, kill him with a knife!"
"That's right!"
"Your Majesty, how is the salary calculated?" Geng Jiuchou asked again.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Working for the country, but thinking about money everywhere, what kind of sage books have you read?"
All the officials were extremely embarrassed.
You just finished saying that you study to gain power, but when it comes time to spend money, you cheat again.
Just be stingy.
"If I don't give me a salary, how can these people criticize me? If I do, I'll be scolded."
"They might rob people of their property, or embezzle or destroy saplings, which would make me unhappy."
"This is the human heart."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "I have to give money, but how much should I give?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you give it to me according to the ninth grade." Geng Jiuchou whispered.
"Another expense."
Zhu Qiyu felt a little distressed: "Please give me some treasure notes."
You might as well say no!
Baoqian is too hard to wipe your butt, so it would be better not to hand it out.
"Just add some more rice to fill your stomach."
"Just lifting people up and giving them a way to survive is already considered a great blessing from God!"
"Anyone who picks and chooses will be executed directly!"
"The world is lacking everything, but there is no shortage of scholars!"
Zhu Qiyu reluctantly said: "Zhu Ying, you are going to stare at me to death. Anyone who dares to work less hard and enrich his own pockets will be skinned and cut off!"
"There are still eunuchs in the palace who know this craft. I will send them to you."
"After peeling the skin and pulling the grass, place it in front of the Agriculture Bureau."
"Let my successors see who dares to touch my money!"
You really don’t regard a person’s life as his fate!
After all the people have been killed, are you going to kill the scholar?
Scholars all over the world provoke you, but you always bully them!
"Juren who are recruited into the Agricultural Bureau will be given a special enke this year." Zhu Qiyu added.
You have understood people's minds.
For Juren, they would be happy if they could take the Jinshi exam one more time, let alone work as cows and horses in the Agricultural Bureau, even if they were made to eat shit every day.
Down to court.
Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and meditated.
It's time for Qinglou to open.
He opened up several buildings in the official residence and built several large entertainment venues. By the way, he also introduced a water channel into it, where there were singing stages, dance pavilions, floating cruise ships, and everything else.
It turns out that behind the scenes of Qinglou are the powerful people in the court.
Now, directly to the emperor.
Whatever needs to be done, everything remains the same, and new entertainment items have been added.
He threw all the troupe in the palace into it.
If he keeps it in vain, he keeps it in vain. It's better to go in and make money. He doesn't like to go to the theater. It costs money to keep him.
The precious wild animals kept in the palace are also put in. It costs money to keep them in the palace, so it is better to show them to the people and charge admission fees.
He really doesn't have any entertainment skills, and the methods he comes up with are not interesting.
On the contrary, he delegated power to the madams, and they really opened Zhu Qiyu's horizons. In the eyes of others, what he did was just an amateur.
That's what they call professional, they serve people to the extreme.
"Xu Gan, there are three casinos in total, I will leave them to your family."
Zhu Qiyu said: "You should know what I want to know."
"This slave understands!" Xu Gan knelt on the ground.
"You will be the boss behind this entertainment venue from now on."
"The other two, one is sent to Dongchang, and the other is sent to Jinyiwei."
“The money earned every year must go into internal funds.”
"I will send a spy to keep an eye on it. Don't touch the money that shouldn't be touched."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The governor has done well recently. We will recruit a group of eunuchs to expand our strength and send a group of people to Nanjing."
"This year, or next year at the latest, I will visit Nanjing."
"Shu Liang went to Shanxi, and Jin Zhong fell in love with Jiangxi. I will leave Nanjing to you."
Xu Gan's eyes lit up.
He also heard that the factory guards were expanding wildly, and only the governor was the eunuch. Because it was inconvenient for the eunuchs to leave the palace, their power was limited to the palace, and he was worried.
The emperor finally let him out.
"My slave, thank you for your kindness!" Xu Gan kept kowtowing.
"Nanjing is different from other places. The Ming Dynasty has two capitals, and Nanjing is the place where Emperor Taizu Longxing lived. There are many powerful people there, and it is not easy to deal with them."
"You start from the palace first."
"Slowly expand your power and develop it outside the palace. I also allow you to recruit a group of confidants in Nanjing, not necessarily eunuchs, but some capable people."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Zhu Qiyu gave him a few words and then let him go.
The development of factory guards is too fast, Tiqi can't catch up, and Lu Zhongshi has no ability now.
But staying in Jinyiwei is a bit of a waste.
Can this person be trusted?
Zhu Qiyu was undecided.
"Your Majesty, Chen Xiang is outside the palace gate." Feng Xiaolai reported.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Please come quickly."
Not long after, an octogenarian old man walked in slowly, supported by a eunuch. Followed by Chen Cheng's son.
When he sees the emperor from afar, he will kneel down.
All his teeth were lost, and after all the twists and turns along the way, his mental state was not good.
"Old love, please get up!" Zhu Qiyu quickly stepped down and supported him.
Chen Cheng looked at the emperor, his eyes blurred, and he cried bitterly.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Please give me your regards!" Chen Cheng was vague.
"I am safe!"
Zhu Qiyu grabbed his arm and patted his hand: "Sir, I have traveled thousands of miles to invite you here because I want to reopen the Western Region!"
Chen Cheng kept nodding: "I heard that your Majesty is going to reopen the Western Region, so I'm here!"
He spoke with some slurred enunciation.
Coming with him was his youngest son Chen Hong, who helped translate.
Chen Cheng has three sons, and the youngest son, Chen Hong, is the only one left. The first two have passed away before him. He is ninety-one years old this year.
"I'm telling you, Yu Qian won a great victory in Xuanzang Town and wiped out 100,000 people in Wala!"
"Now I have sent Fan Guang out to recapture the Hetao! Order the Seven Guards of Guanxi!"
"When the Loop is obtained, I will communicate with Hami and reopen the Western Region!"
"If small countries like Hamina disobey, I will destroy them directly."
"So, I need someone who understands the Western Regions to tell me what is going on in the Western Regions?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It has been too long since the Xuanzong Dynasty abandoned the Western Regions. People in this dynasty have forgotten that the Ming Dynasty was once the master of the Western Regions!"
"The glorious Ming Dynasty has a vast land and thousands of territories!"
"I want to take it back bit by bit!"
Chen Cheng was about to kneel down again in excitement, but Zhu Qiyu asked him not to kneel down.
This old man traveled thousands of miles to the capital. If he knelt down and died because of the effort, his work would have been in vain.
He asked his son Chen Hong to hold a box, take out the manuscript from the box, and present it to the emperor.
"Have you written it all down?" Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch to accept it. The manuscript was very thick. He had written it in seclusion for many years and had not yet compiled it into a book.
The old man nodded with tears in his eyes: "Western Region, Western Region."
"Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Western Region has been a vassal state of our Han people. After the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is still the territory of our Han family!"
"The two Song Dynasties were weak and could not conquer the Western Regions, but the Western Regions have been the territory of our Han family since ancient times!"
"The border of our Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty is Suiye!"
"Your Majesty, it's Broken Leaf! Zhai Sangbo, Broken Leaf!"
The old man said so much in one breath, and he became emotional and began to pant. After breathing evenly, he said again:
"I remember clearly that when I first set foot in the Western Region, they looked at me with such strange eyes."
"They forgot, they forgot, we are the masters of this territory!"
"This is the territory of our Han family!"
"Your Majesty, you may not know that they look different from us. They have their own civilization and culture. They are no longer considered Han people. They are no longer the territory of Han people, let alone Han people's tributaries. Oh! They forgot!"
"But we can't forget that this is the land of our ancestors!"
"We were lucky to have Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong led his army and attacked again and again, finally taking back the ancestral land. The flag of the Ming Dynasty is flying in the Western Regions."
“What a prosperous time when all nations come to court!”
"But when it came to the late emperor, the late emperor, the late emperor actually gave up the land of his ancestors!"
At this point, Chen Cheng burst into tears: "I've given up. That's where the bones of our ancestors are buried! That's where the bones of many soldiers and generals from the Ming Dynasty are buried!"
"In those years, how much money was spent by the court in order to bring the Western Regions under its control. Emperor Taizong would rather not eat or drink himself to reopen the Western Regions!"
"B-but...you just gave up when you said you gave up!"
"Why give up! It's fertile soil, and it's on the Silk Road. It's very rich. Their life is better than that of the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
"If you say you give up, you give up. The hard work of a generation!"
Chen Cheng couldn't stop crying: "I'm not angry, so I retired to live in seclusion. I'm just a small official and can't control it! I hate it. I hate Emperor Taizong for not having a holiday. If I give Emperor Taizong ten more years of life, the Western Regions will be our Han family." Territory!"
"Ten years ago, in the Western Region, Buzhou Mountain, Suiye... just, just came back!"
He suddenly reached out and wanted to catch Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and asked him to grab it. His palm was very strong and his hand was shaking: "Your Majesty is so lucky to have reopened the Western Region!"
"I have traveled thousands of miles to come to the capital. I would rather bury my body in a foreign land than tell His Majesty!"
"Tell your Majesty! Listen to what I have to say!"
"The land in the Western Region is fertile and can grow food, cotton, and many crops. It is also located at the throat of the Silk Road!"
"The throat is very rich, it is a treasure land, it is a treasure land!"
"It must be taken back, never given up!"
"Buzhou Mountain, Suiye, Zhaisangbo, our Han family's territory are all fertile and precious lands for thousands of miles. Your Majesty..."
"Please, Your Majesty, take it back, take it back, that is the territory of the Han family and it belongs to us!"
"This is Taizong's wish and the wish of the old minister's generation. I hope that the Ming Dynasty will create a prosperous age like the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"
"The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty still has a territory of 100,000 miles. Our Ming Dynasty destroyed the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and established the orthodoxy in the world. Emperor Taizu's right to the throne has been ranked first in history."
"Emperor Taizong Jingnan succeeded to the throne. He wanted to make the Ming Dynasty glorious and restore the territory of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. However, it was unfavorable that the work was not completed..."
"Your Majesty, Taizong's last wish is in your hands to be fulfilled..."
"Please bury the old minister's bones there!"
Chen Cheng is about to die.
Zhu Qiyu quickly declared himself an imperial doctor, but Chen Cheng held his hand tightly and looked at him: "Your Majesty, what I have learned in my life is all here. Please read it."
"Please be sure to take back the Western Region and restore the land of your ancestors. There are heroic spirits waiting for you there..."
"Western Region, Western Region..."
"Emperor Taizong, Your Majesty, Wei Chen has seen you, please wait for Wei Chen, Wei Chen wants to join you...beat his mother...so happy! so happy!"
Chen Cheng's hand gradually lost its center of gravity and fell in mid-air.
People have run out of energy.
Zhu Qiyu shed tears.
The old man traveled thousands of miles and exhausted his last breath of energy, just to tell him personally that the Western Region was rich and beg him to take it back.
During the Taizong Dynasty, many generals died in the Western Regions.
The late emperor, however, ignored all this and abandoned his ancestral land in pursuit of pleasure.
Nowadays, it is so difficult for me to regain Liaodong and reopen the Western Region. How many people still remember Emperor Taizong's ambition?
Chen Hong knelt on the ground, suppressing his voice and not daring to cry.
Zhu Qiyu held the manuscript and slowly turned his head with his back to Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, do you have the ambition of your father?"
"Yes, but I don't have the ability!" Chen Hong cried.
He is almost sixty years old this year.
He doesn't understand diplomacy and can't be an official. He's just an old man.
"That's all, let's place Mr. Lao's body in the capital."
Zhu Qiyu said: "On the tombstone it is written, Yongle Dynasty diplomat!"
He walked out of Qinzheng Hall.
The old man's heart made it difficult for him to calm down for a long time.
The Yongle Dynasty really had a group of loyal people.
At that time, Chen Cheng's insistence on resigning from office was probably directly related to Emperor Xuande's tightening of the front line. He knew that he had no place to use, so he resigned and went into seclusion.
"Send someone to tell the Tutor and advise him to show his condolences."
Zhu Qiyu was a little worried about Hu Hui's health: "I have sent an order to Tai Hospital to check the health of the veterans of the court every five days. If there are any symptoms, report them immediately and order the veterans to take good care of themselves. Anyone who fails to report the knowledge will be executed." .”
It would be a pity for each of these veterans to die.
Their lives are all living history, and they should write down their experiences and pass them on to future generations.
"Go to the Hanlin Academy, pick out a few good-looking words, make twenty copies, and send one copy to each of the cabinet departments. Then order the Hanlin Academy to compile it into a book, print it, and put it in the library."
Zhu Qiyu sighed.
At night, Zhu Qiyu looked at the copied manuscript. Chen Cheng described the process of the mission in detail, recording the local customs and customs in detail, mixed with what he saw and heard, and his analysis of the local situation.
Come to think of it, Emperor Taizong originally sent him as an envoy with the intention of gathering information, so Chen Cheng knew so much.
"It's a pity. It would be great if he could live for a few more months and pass on what he knew and learned."
Zhu Qiyu put down the manuscript and closed his eyes.
after a few days.
Kong Hongxu's wedding was arranged by the clan's mansion, and the bride was brought out from the palace, which was a great honor to Duke Yansheng.
He didn't know that after hearing about Xiang Sibao's wedding, Zhu Jian deeply prayed to God and prayed to Buddha. After thanking him for several days, he finally sent this aunt away. He looked at the purple and purple thighs and burst into tears. Finally, Get through it.
Kong Hongxu looked at the tall figure and felt happy in his heart.
After going to court that day, he asked everywhere but could not find out who this palace minister was, but His Majesty said personally that he was a close person of the Queen Mother.
He knew that after the wedding, he would be able to leave this damn capital.
Onerous etiquette passed.
Finally he was able to enter the bridal chamber. He, Kong Hongxu, was an experienced person. Three or four of his maids had been beaten to death.
Lift the hijab!
Kong Hongxu kept a straight face and maintained his dignity, and the husband was the guide for his wife.
But as soon as he opened it a little, the majesty collapsed and turned into a scream: "Ghost!"
Xiang Sibao, with red lips and rouge on his face, suddenly appeared under the dim light, frightening Kong Hongxu and falling to the ground.
"What's your name! Come back to my aunt!"
Xiang Sibao pulled off his hijab, grabbed his legs, dragged him back, and looked at Kong Hongxu's face up close.
Kong Hongxu also saw Xiang Sibao's face up close. He was so scared that he cried loudly.
"Hold it back!" Xiang Sibao pointed at him.
He hates children.
His Majesty asked him to go to the East Palace to serve the prince. The prince is a little brat who is as big as a brat and has eight hundred scheming minds.
As a result, she left the East Palace and married such a brat, which made her upset.
However, she is already old, so to be able to marry Duke Yan Sheng as his legitimate wife is definitely a blessing from His Majesty.
Kong Hongxu looked at that grimace and was too scared to cry.
"Are you really a human being?" Kong Hongxu asked cautiously.
"Nonsense, wait for my aunt to take off her headdress!" Xiang Sibao sat back and asked him to help.
Kong Hongxu was a little scared.
"Hurry up! You're just dragging your feet!" Xiang Sibao suddenly roared. As soon as Kong Hongxu got up, he fell to the ground in fright.
"Madam..." Kong Hongxu wanted to say, could you be gentler.
There were many maids and maids serving him at home, and they were all gentle and pleasant. It was the first time I saw the female insect type, and I was somewhat interested.
"Who is your wife, Ma Liuer's!"
Xiang Sibao said with a face: "If His Majesty hadn't forced my aunt to marry you, how could my aunt marry you? Who do you think you are?"
Kong Hongxu wanted to say that he was Yan Shenggong.
"Humph, the prince wants to marry my aunt, but it's all a dream!" Xiang Sibao sneered.
Prince?
Can you be a princess with your appearance?
The prince is too cold and careless.
Kong Hongxu didn't dare to look at her, her face looked like a ghost, and he couldn't take off a woman's headdress. The more she made it, the messier it became.
Bang!
Xiang Sibao suddenly punched him: "Trash, you can't even serve my aunt! What's the use of you?"
Kong Hongxu held back his tears. I am a dignified sage. I read the books of the sages and understand the rites of the sages. How could I understand the gadgets used by these women?
Xiang Sibao had no choice but to take off his makeup and hair by himself. After taking it off, he moved his neck.
"Come here." Xiang Sibao became angry when he saw Kong Hongxu standing aside like a piece of wood.
Kong Hongxu trembled inexplicably and almost burst into tears.
"My aunt doesn't want to say it a second time!" Xiang Sibao snorted coldly.
Kong Hongxu came over slowly.
Snapped!
Xiang Sibao raised his hand and slapped Kong Hongxu in the face.
Call me over and hit me?
"Next time if you mess around again, you'll have to do your best!"
Xiang Sibao looked at him coldly: "Kneel here and help my aunt take off her shoes."
"I..." Kong Hongxu pointed to himself, I am Yan Shenggong, how can I take off a woman's shoes? Where is the face?
Snapped!
A loud slap in the face directly taught him how to behave.
Kong Hongxu knelt on the ground like a doormat. He was born to be cared for and knew nothing about it. He couldn't take off his shoes at all.
Bang!
Xiang Sibao kicked him down: "You're a useless person who doesn't know anything. What's the use of my aunt marrying you?"
Kong Hongxu wanted to ask someone to hang this shrew up and beat her!
"Can you touch my aunt and give it a try?"
Xiang Sibao sneered: "When my aunt was young, I served the Queen Mother. Your Majesty was raised by my aunt."
"Call, call everyone in. Let's see, grandma, what do you dare to do?"
"Tonight, you beat my aunt, and tomorrow morning, my aunt will go to the palace and cry, making you unable to eat and walking around! She will also take your Kong family to eat Gua Luo'er!"
Kong Hongxu was confused. He had served the Queen Mother since he was a child. How old was she?
How old is my grandma?
The emperor chooses an old lady to be his wife?
If word of this spreads out, how can the Kong family lose face?
"My aunt has brought four aunts from the palace. You have to serve them. My aunt can tell you that these are people from the palace. If you are a little bit negligent, you will not be able to eat and will be carried away!"
Xiang Sibao lay down and said, "My aunt is sleeping. Kneel here and watch over my aunt."
"Why?" Kong Hongxu couldn't bear it.
"Hmph, when my aunt was serving the prince in the East Palace, she asked him to kneel, and he had to kneel obediently. If you dare not to kneel, you can go out."
Kong Hongxu was shocked. The prince actually knelt down for this woman?
Where is the Heavenly Family?
"Believe it or not, if you don't obey me, my aunt will go back to the palace tomorrow to cry, and your majesty will naturally make the decision for me, hum..."
Xiang Sibao sneered: "Don't blow out the lamp, my aunt doesn't like the darkness."
I don't want to see your grimace!
Kong Hongxu slowly came over and knelt on the bedside.
My nose twitched and I couldn't help crying.
There was a servant guarding him at the bedside while he slept, but he never thought that one day, he would have to do this job too!
Okay, let's leave the capital and see how I can deal with you, you bitch!
"What are you mumbling about? You don't know how to serve people! You're a loser!"
Xiang Sibao opened his eyes: "Sing a little song for my aunt."
"Sing a song?"
Kong Hongxu was furious: "That is something only actors and actresses can do. How can I, a noble and dignified sage and a family of thousands of years, do such a shameful thing?"
Snapped!
Before Kong Hongxu finished speaking, Xiang Sibao stood up and slapped him in the face.
"My aunt wants to listen, but the prince has to sing and coax my aunt. Who do you think you are! My aunt has never heard of Yan Shenggong!"
Xiang Sibao said with a face: "Don't use those literate and sour words in the future, my aunt won't understand!"
"You, you are disgraceful!"
Snapped!
Another slap in the face!
Kong Hongxu was slapped several times!
Grandpa, I miss you!
I don’t want to do this Yan Shenggong, I just want to be a dandy, happily carrying cages and fighting crickets. Look at my brother, he is rolling in rouge now. I am so envious.
"Are you going to stop using harsh words?" Xiang Sibao looked at him coldly.
Kong Hongxu shook his head: "No, I won't say it anymore."
"What did you call me?"
"Auntie, I was wrong." Kong Hongxu was convinced, his face hurt too much.
He just wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and get out of the emperor's nose, so that he could deal with this big bug.
"My aunt knows exactly what you think."
"You think you can make a fool of your aunt after leaving the capital?"
"Grandma!"
"I went to Siping City, and my aunt didn't know about it? That's Liaodong Town, with a hundred thousand troops on the side. If you dare to be disrespectful to my aunt, my aunt will summon the army and beat you to death!"
Xiang Sibao sneered: "If you don't believe me, try it! If you make my aunt unhappy, she will send the secret memorial to the capital, and you, the Kong family, will have to finish it!"
That is to say, there is no hope of revenge?
Will you be dominated by this big insect for the rest of your life?
Kong Hongxu burst into tears.
He figured out why the emperor broke up his marriage with Mr. Li. It must be that the mother-in-law couldn't get married and the emperor was upset, so he arranged for him to torture him and make him obedient.
The emperor's heart is so poisonous!
I'm only ten years old, please save the baby!
"Hold it back, my aunt hates men crying the most. Why are you crying?"
Kong Hongxu twitched a few times, held back his tears, and looked at Xiang Sibao pitifully, please, stop torturing me.
But Xiang Sibao had been fighting against the prince all year round, so he had already seen through this trick.
"My aunt thinks that you are just a bitch, crying and moaning, so why do you think you are Yan Shenggong? My aunt already knows Guan Gong on the stage."
Xiang Sibao hooked his fingers and asked him to bring his face closer.
Snapped!
After slapping him again, Xiang Sibao lay down and said, "Sing a song."
Hit me again!
It's okay to ask Kong Hongxu to read the Three Character Classic, but he really can't sing.
"The prince knows everything, what can't you do? Sing!"
The prince again?
The prince has a grudge against you, or what? Why do you always torture others?
Kong Hongxu had no choice but to sing the Three-Character Sutra.
"Stop singing. A dog barks better than you can sing. Start learning tomorrow."
Xiang Sibao turned over and said, "In the future, don't learn any scriptures or meanings. It's useless. Just learn to sing. My aunt likes to listen."
Is it useless to read books from sages? How dare you say that!
Kong Hongxu really didn't know how to refute.
The baby sniffed, feeling miserable.
Returned on the third day.
Xiang Sibao took Kong Hongxu back to the palace to express his gratitude.
First he paid a visit to the Queen Mother, and then he went to Qianqing Palace to pay a visit to the Emperor.
Xiang Sibao is not bad looking, but he is a bit older. He is holding Kong Hongxu's hand, and he looks like his ancestors and grandchildren, neither fish nor fowl.
"Mr. Yansheng, how do you like the wife I have chosen for you?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
When Kong Hongxu thought of the fear of being dominated, tears welled up in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a beautiful girl as your companion."
"Well, Xiang Sibao is the right-hand man of the Queen Mother in the palace, and she is close to me. I know her character, so you must cherish it especially if I marry such a beautiful girl to you."
Then why didn't His Majesty accept it?
Kong Hongxu really wanted to ask, she is only six years younger than my grandma!
I'm only ten years old! His Majesty!
There is a forty year difference between us!
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary." Xiang Sibao smiled.
"Ms. Xiang, I know that there is no one in your family. From now on, the palace will be your natal family, and the Queen Mother and I will be your relatives."
Zhu Qiyu supported her: "I will canonize you as a first-class lady. Your rank can match that of Yan Shenggong. The female officials in the palace will still remain."
Kong Hongxu also heard that the emperor was partial to Xiang Sibao.
Why is it always me who gets hurt?
"Thank you for your grace!" Xiang Sibao kowtowed.
"The virtuous couple will stay in the capital for a while and wait for my imperial decree before leaving the capital." Zhu Qiyu said a few more words before sending off.
Looking at their backs, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing.
Looking at Kong Hongxu's little face, one can tell that Xiang Sibao has a way of dealing with children.
I heard that in the East Palace, there was a celebration, and the prince was so excited that he rolled on the ground.
Poor Yan Shenggong.
"Your Majesty, we heard from the Jin Yiwei that the Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanji has left Jiangxi." Feng Xiao reported.
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank.
Someone in the capital is delivering news to Tianshi Dao!
Nowadays, peace has returned to the capital, temples are once again prosperous, and incense is sold normally in patrol camps.
After experiencing the forced expropriation of food from the temples and temples, the temples and temples are now much more honest.
However, the borrowed grain has not been returned yet.
The patrol camp was demanding taxes again and again, the monks and Taoists were complaining, and they were dissatisfied with the government. The factory guards were submitting secret reports every day, and Zhu Qiyu knew it all.
"A storm is coming."
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "How many merchants have arrived in Beijing?"
"There are only a hundred families. Your Majesty, as far as I know, most of them are from side branches and they don't bring many assets to the capital." Feng Xiao reported.
"As expected, my imperial edict is almost a piece of waste paper outside Beijing!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Let them do business in Beijing. Don't scare them. Sometimes you have to be patient."
"How many vassal kings are here?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Feng Xiao said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, no one came, but the kings of Jiangxi and Huguang sent memorials saying that they were not feeling well and could not travel long distances."
"My relatives, they look smart, but in fact, none of them are smart. Even the excuses are the same."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Tell the princes-in-law to speed up, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon."
"This slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao felt not optimistic. The vassal king was not a fool. How could he come to Beijing just as he said he would?
…
After leaving the palace, Kong Hongxu huddled in a corner of the carriage with tears in his eyes.
Two aunts served Xiang Sibao.
She looked in the mirror and looked at her aging face: "Auntie, is it beautiful?"
Don’t you know it yourself?
You are six years younger than my grandma!
Kong Hongxu felt miserable because he had to take in a concubine to wash his eyes.
"My aunt is still young and beautiful, but you are as thin as a chicken." Xiang Sibao sighed.
Do you still look down on me? This mirror is a waste of time!
Kong Hongxu curled his lips and didn't want to speak.
Kong Hongxu's expression was reflected in the bronze mirror. Xiang Sibao stopped his smile and raised his fingers: "Come here."
Am I your dog?
But Kong Hongxu was very honest and crawled over obediently.
Snapped!
Xiang Sibao slapped him hard on the face.
"Where did I go wrong?" Kong Hongxu looked aggrieved.
"What was your expression just now? If you were waiting in the palace, you would have been killed long ago!"
Xiang Sibao sneered: "My aunt has been serving in the palace since she was a child. She is the best at observing people's words. Your tricks are beyond me."
My face hurts and I don’t want to talk.
But Xiang Sibao rubbed his face gently: "You are also Yan Shenggong and my aunt's husband. I can't always slap you in the face and make you lose face outside."
Kong Hongxu's eyes widened, are you going to be kind to me? Did I move God?
"Ah!" In an instant, Kong Hongxu screamed and almost jumped up.
Xiang Sibao pinched his inner thigh!
Twist it hard!
It hurts so much more than a slap in the face!
The key point is that after pinching, he walked awkwardly and made others laugh.
After entering Duke Yansheng's mansion, Kong Hongxu wanted to find a corner and cry loudly.
"Come here and wait."
In a word of Xiang Sibao, he made Kong Hongxu's defense.
"I don't want to, my aunt enters the palace now ..."
"Grandma, I am willing." Kong Hongxu hurried over.
After entering the door, Kong Hongxu screamed.
"Make you unwilling! People who want to wait for the aunt and grandma can go from the city to the city, what are you counting!"
"The emperor gives you a chance, let you wait for grandma!"
"That's the mighty!"
"Do you dare to thank you?"
Yan Shenggong Mansion, where the chicken flying dog jumps.
The news was introduced in the palace, and Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but can't help it.
I knew that Xiang Sibaozhi had to rule the children. I did not expect that Yan Shenggong was convinced.
When I went to Liaodong, the Kong family should stop.
"Finally finished!"
The sky was dark, and Zhu Qiyu stood up and stood up to make people move back to the military aircraft and let the military aircraft seal.
"Go to Chengqian Palace for meals, don't need to go, leave."
Zhu Qiyu carried his hand and entered the harem.
As the weather became hot today, he also put on a single clothes, walked slowly, and slowly pondering things.
Captive, Yu Qian came, and he had just arrived in Shandong.
According to him, Wang Yue disappeared.
