Hu Xi was stunned for a long time before speaking: "Your Highness Ming Jian, the old minister's word does not count on assembling the main force of the Ming army in Nanjing. The current situation is critical, so I would like to ask Your Highness to return to Beijing to supervise the country first.
As for the military and state affairs, they still need to be discussed at court, and they cannot be decided by just a few words here between you and me. "
"Okay, no problem, I can go back to Beijing and serve as supervisor."
Hu Bi was stunned again when he heard this, and now he agreed? King Tan's words must have changed too quickly.
Before Hu Xi could speak, Zhu Qiyu took out a question book from his pocket and handed it to Hu Xi with a serious face.
Hu Xi asked curiously: "Your Highness, what is this?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Because Xiao Wang has to report on official matters, this is Xiao Wang's title book. Please ask the old minister to present it to the Queen Mother. Of course, this is also related to the old minister. You can also take a look."
After hearing what Zhu Qiyu said, Hu Xi hurriedly opened the title book and took a closer look. He saw that there were three hundred words on it, and the content was as follows:
"Your Majesty Zhu Qiyu reported to the Queen Mother that from the time Taizu conferred the titles of princes to the end when the emperor's brother conferred ministers as kings, I have a total of thirty-seven feudal princes in the Ming Dynasty.
However, among the kings and kings, the most beautiful ones are Qin, Jin, Zhou, Chu, Han, and Zhao. The next best are Zheng, Yue, Wei, Liang, Xu, and Huai.
I have looked at the titles of all the kings, and among them the most humble ones are none other than King Tan. Moreover, throughout the past and present, there has been only one king, King Yin, who is truly a worthy Prince of Miscellaneous Numbers.
There are villains in this court, and there are treacherous people in the Ministry of Rites. The emperor's brother loves his ministers as close relatives of flesh and blood. This must be the treacherous villain who instigates the brotherhood between the emperor's brother and his ministers and destroys the tradition of attaching importance to the friendship between relatives since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
If it were a time of peace, I would not dare to report this trivial matter. However, there are changes in the court now, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger. Hundreds of officials insisted on asking minor ministers to supervise the country. However, I think there is no precedent for a prince with a different title to supervise the country from ancient times to the present.
Therefore, I asked the queen to abandon the sycophantic ministers and bring order to the chaos. The Jin Dynasty granted the ministers the title of King of Qi, because the country of Tan belonged to Qi.
The minister Zhu Qiyu kowtowed. "
After Hu Xi read the title book, he was so angry that he was shaking. Zhu Qiyu was very bluntly saying that he, the Minister of Rites, was a sycophant, and he just had to name him.
"You, you, you, your highness, why do you say this to me?"
Zhu Qiyu said sarcastically: "Old Minister, please tell your conscience, have I wronged you? Did you and the emperor discuss my royal title? Is King Tan the most rubbish title?"
Hu Xi was choked to the point of being completely speechless. After all, the minister did not speak of the emperor's fault, and he could not tell the truth and told Zhu Qiyu that the orthodox emperor was deliberately giving him small shoes.
Zhu Qiyu felt very happy when he saw Hu Xi being beaten into silence. If you say why Zhu Qiyu is not obsessed with promoting the king's title, it is because he knows more than Hu Xi, who has been the Minister of Rites for decades.
Yes, that's right, he just knows more than Hu Hui. Because Hu Hui didn't know that there was a Ming emperor named Jiajing in later generations, but Zhu Qiyu knew.
Jiajing succeeded to the throne as a vassal king, and as soon as he entered the capital, he launched a great ceremony and insisted on recognizing his dead father as the emperor.
For Zhu Qiyu, he could simply copy Jiajing's work: he couldn't recognize his biological father as emperor, so he would promote himself to the title of king and take the opportunity to overpower the civil and military ministers in the court and the queen mother.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a variant of a reduced absurdity version of calling a deer a horse.
Hu Xi was stunned for a long time, then silently put away Zhu Qiyu's inscription book, and replied helplessly: "I will present this true version to the Queen Mother."
Hu Hui gave up and didn't want to be entangled anymore. After all, she was really in the wrong: even if she asked any scholar on the street, the person would only say that King Qi is a good title, and King Tan is a rubbish title. The second answer is absolutely impossible.
Zhu Qiyu saw that Hu Xi was as honest as a frosty eggplant, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Wang is now on his way south to recuperate according to the Queen Mother's decree. If he wants to return to Beijing, the Queen Mother needs to appoint Xiao Wang as the supervisor of the country. A clear edict will do."
Hu Hui thought for a while and then replied: "It will take several days to go back and forth. The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. Do you think this will work? I will return to the capital now to meet the Queen Mother. Your Highness will also set off as soon as possible, and wait for His Highness to arrive. When we were outside Beijing, I handed over to His Highness the Queen Mother's decree to appoint Her Highness as Supervisor of the country. Do you think this is good?"
"Good, Mr. Cheng, please send the old minister to me."
When Hu Hu heard this, he cupped his hands and left with a gloomy look.
Zhu Qiyu won again and returned to the backyard loft with a smile.
As soon as I walked in, the first floor was crowded with beauties.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "What are you doing? Are you lining up to go to bed? Sorry, sorry, there are so many beauties, I can't stand it in one night."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu responded with a smile: "You are so beautiful, why don't you go to heaven, Your Highness? Come and let me wash your hands and face. We have business to do."
Before Zhu Qiyu could say anything else, Lin Xiangyu pulled him to wash his hands and wash his face. Xiao Lingxi took a stick of spices and smoked Zhu Qiyu's body.
Zhu Qiyu was puzzled. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Lin Xiangyu smile and say: "Your Highness, please sit down. We slaves have not kowtowed to our masters yet. Now we have gathered all the people together. We will kneel down and kowtow to His Highness. From now on, we have officially decided to be the master and slave." reputation."
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly gave in and said: "No need, since we are destined to get together and have the opportunity to support each other and help each other, then I will treat you sincerely.
Usually I just take advantage of you with my mouth, but I don't really regard you as my slave in my heart. "
Lin Xiangyu pulled Zhu Qiyu to the upper seat and said with a smile: "This is beyond your control, Your Highness. Even if you don't want to be the master, we must firmly establish our status as slaves."
So Zhu Qiyu was dragged and forced to the chair. Lin Xiangyu knelt at Zhu Qiyu's feet, while Xiao Lingxi, Wang Qianxue, and Yu Suxi knelt in a row behind Lin Xiangyu. Each of these four people had four personal maids, a total of sixteen people, all knelt down behind Xiao Lingxi.
Lin Xiangyu led the crowd in shouting: "The slave family pays homage to the master", and then performed a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.
Zhu Qiyu looked at twenty beauties kneeling at his feet, lowering his eyebrows and calling them masters. Suddenly, I felt like I was flying.
The scene in front of him was so beautiful, which brought great spiritual enjoyment to Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu only felt that this was more useful than enjoying the beauty's body. So he smiled and said: "You guys can crawl at my feet for a little longer. This is really the greatest happiness in the world. I want to enjoy it for a little longer."
All the girls replied together: "Yes, Master."
Zhu Qiyu became even more ecstatic when he heard this. After enjoying it for a long time, he stood up and helped Lin Xiangyu up. He apologized: "I have wronged the princess. I have wronged the princess. Get up quickly. If your knee hurts, please let me rub it for the princess."
Lin Xiangyu actually asked Zhu Qiyu to sit back on the chair, while she sat on Zhu Qiyu's lap.
Zhu Qiyu only thought that Lin Xiangyu wanted to act coquettishly in his arms. He was about to say: In front of so many people, the princess is not ashamed. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiangyu hugged her neck, twisted her slender waist like a Chu girl, and rubbed her ears and temples back and forth.
In just a few seconds, Zhu Xiaoyu stood up, while Lin Xiangyu let go of her hand, covered her mouth and snickered, got up and ran upstairs quickly.
The remaining concubines and maids looked at Zhu Xiaoyu's awkward appearance standing alone, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhu Qiyu blushed, cursed bitterly, and ran upstairs in a hurry.
When they arrived on the third floor, they saw Lin Xiangyu already changing clothes. Zhu Qiyu stepped forward quickly, picked up the beauty, threw her on the bed, and scolded him fiercely: "You are a narrow-minded devil, and you are losing your dignity as a princess. That's all if you don't maintain my tall and mighty image. You also deliberately tricked me and made me look embarrassed in front of everyone. If I don’t play you clearly today, my name will not be Zhu Qiyu.”
Lin Xiangyu was openly unafraid, and teased with a smile: "The Nu family has already thought of His Highness's new name, and it is most suitable to call him Zhu Shoumen."
"Zhu Shoumen? Why is it called Zhu Shoumen?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Your Highness has forgotten so quickly that on the first day you came to Baoding Mansion and checked into Wangyue Tower, the slave was taking a bath in the house, but you were stupidly guarding the door outside and drinking the northwest wind."
Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "This is tolerable, but who can't be tolerated? A true man in heaven and earth can be killed but not humiliated. If I can't subdue a small and narrow-minded ghost like you, I, Zhu Qiyu, am not a man. I'd better go to Xiaoling." Just kill yourself in front of Taizu’s spirit to thank the world.”
When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she didn't reply. She just pulled open a corner of her inner garment, revealing a section of white, tender and smooth shoulders, and looked at Zhu Qiyu provocatively.
When Zhu Qiyu saw this, he became furious and yelled:
“I wanted to communicate with you in a cordial and friendly manner as an ordinary man, but I didn’t expect that what I got in exchange was ignorant ridicule and contempt.
Okay, I won't pretend anymore, I'm showing off my cards. In fact, I am a man with special skills. Today I will let you, the ignorant narrow-minded devil, see my true skills. "
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu threw himself onto the bed viciously.
At the same time, just as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter between the second and third floors. It turned out that after Lin Xiangyu and Zhu Qiyu made a joke, all the beauties became bold and crowded in there, listening to the bed for fun.
However, unexpectedly, the more the bed sounded, the more and more something was wrong. Lin Xiangyu gradually changed from her charming smile and beautiful eyes at the beginning to her crying voice and gentle lamentation.
When everyone heard this change, they all looked at each other and didn't know why.
