When the ministers heard that Concubine Zhou had sent such an expensive gift to Concubine Qi, they felt even more unhappy. These two heroines have formed a solid alliance, so what else can others do?
Concubine Zhou is just twenty years old, and Concubine Qi is only fourteen years old. These two heroines are still so young. After ten or eight years, after the Queen Mother Sun has been killed, no one can control them anymore. Next, wouldn't the two of them be in power for forty or fifty years? How long will it take for the ministers to survive?
Zhu Qiyu ignored the inner pain of the ministers, left Concubine Wu's bedroom, strolled all the way back to his backyard, and planned to pass through the backyard and go directly to the West Flower Hall to discuss matters. Unexpectedly, when he reached the garden, he bumped into Xian'er who was walking towards the front yard.
When Xianer saw Zhu Qiyu, she hurriedly handed over the tray in her hand: "Good master, help me carry it. I am almost exhausted."
Zhu Qiyu took the tray and saw a glass bottle on it. It was red and looked like it contained wine. There were three wine glasses beside it. He asked curiously: "What is this? We have guests in front of us?"
"Master, you summoned three people from the Middle School to handle government affairs in the Xihua Hall every day. Yesterday, you asked your servants to take care of them, especially He Hanlin.
So we are acting according to the master's instructions. Mu Yu has already sent snacks, and the slave girl has taken out a bottle of wine for them to drink to relieve their fatigue. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he said angrily: "You little girls, you are really not good slaves. Seeing that the three Hanlins were so handsome, they rushed over to show their courtesy. With such fine wine, why don't you give it to the master to drink first?"
"Master has wronged you. It's actually the princess who ordered you to drink less wine for Master, so we didn't give Master anything to drink."
"Stop teasing me and pour me a glass quickly. I'll have a taste first."
Xian'er smiled and said: "Master, please calm down. The cups here are all prepared for the three Hanlins. It is not appropriate for you to use the cup first and then give it to them. Why don't Master use the slave's cherry cup?"
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Cherry Cup? Where is it? What is Cherry Cup? Why have I never heard of it?"
Hearing this, Xian'er raised her head slightly, gently opened her delicate lips, and came close to Zhu Qiyu.
When Zhu Qiyu saw this, he suddenly understood. He even praised Xian'er's clever thinking, so he found a place to put the tray down, then raised the wine bottle and slowly poured the grape wine into Xian'er's lips.
Xian'er blushed, hugged Zhu Qiyu's neck, and presented the delicate cherry cup to Zhu Qiyu's lips.
Zhu Qiyu gently bit Jiaren Xiang's soft and smooth red lips, and inhaled the wine in sips. After being intoxicated for a long time, I reluctantly left those intoxicating lips.
After a long while, Xian'er blushed and asked, "Master, is this slave's cherry cup still usable?"
Zhu Qiyu sincerely praised: "It is really the best in the world, a hundred times more useful than these glass cups."
"Does the master still want to give this slave away?"
Zhu Qiyu heard this and asked curiously: "The three Hanlins in the front yard are all young and talented people who are elegant and knowledgeable. Especially He Yi, who is only twenty-two years old and not yet married. His future prospects are unlimited. .
Do you really not want to be a real wife for others and create a beautiful relationship with a talented man and a beautiful woman? "
Hearing this, Xian'er smiled and said: "Women are not all the same. Like Sister Lingxi, who is pure and elegant, cool and refined, she prefers a gentleman who is well-educated and talented.
As for the ways in which the master plays with women, Sister Lingxi is not interested. She pays more attention to the harmony of the soul and the physical level, and prefers someone who is polite and respectful to each other. What she can accept is that the man is on top and the woman is on the bottom. If you ask her to change to someone else, she will be disgusted.
Sister Lingxi is like this. If you send her out, she will be very happy. The slaves are different.
A slave just wants to be abused and played with by her master, just like you play with a princess. The slave wants to be like the princess and experience the ecstasy of being played with by her master. "
Zhu Qiyu heard this and teased: "I understand, some beauties are born with a tendency to be abused. Okay, it seems I can't send you off, so let's go to the front hall quickly."
So the two of them stopped talking. Zhu Qiyu personally carried the tray with one hand and held the beauty in the other, and came to the West Flower Hall. At this time, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, and He Yi have been busy for a long time.
The cabinet was also very efficient. The procedure for handling the memorials was agreed upon yesterday, and the memorials were delivered today. So the three members of the Zhongshushe immersed themselves in work early in the morning, and did not stop what they were doing until Zhu Qiyu came in. Work, stand up and salute.
Zhu Qiyu greeted with a smile: "Everyone, come over, have a glass of wine and eat some snacks."
Xian'er hurriedly took the wine bottle, filled three glasses, and handed them to Bai Gui and others one by one.
Under Xian'er's service, Zhu Qiyu sat on the inside of the soft couch, leaned on the backrest comfortably, and asked everyone: "Is there anything in the memorial that I need to know?"
Bai Gui quickly put down his wine glass and replied: "These memorials are basically congratulations. The only one worth paying attention to is Xu Jue, the minister of the Hanlin Academy. On the pretext of changes in the stars, he suggested that your majesty move the capital to Nanjing to avoid weapons."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, his mood did not fluctuate. He just said lightly: "How did the cabinet vote?"
"The cabinet said that this matter was important and they did not dare to take charge of it, so they sent it directly over without a draft for His Majesty's judgment."
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly. This was a case of the cabinet passing the blame. Ever since Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, the ministers had only wanted to return to Nanjing. Now that the Tumubao Incident happened, the ministers were happy and finally had an excuse to run to Nanjing.
The cabinet did not want to directly offend these ministers, so they turned the blame over and let the emperor be the bad guy. It was a beautiful idea.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu ordered: "We will not read it here. Let the cabinet circulate Xu Jue's memorial to all civil and military officials so that everyone can discuss it. Is anyone waiting to be summoned now?"
Bai Gui replied: "Yes, we all commanded our colleague Sun Jizong, and the eunuchs Jin Ying and Xing'an. Fan Guang and Cao Tai also came early in the morning. They are all waiting to be summoned in the east duty room."
"Dongzhao room?"
Hearing this, Xian'er replied: "It was my slave who tidied up the east side room for people coming and going to rest."
Zhu Qiyu nodded when he heard this: "Let Sun Jizong come in first."
Bai Gui hurriedly ordered people to convey the message, and soon Sun Jizong came in to salute.
Zhu Qiyu stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite. Sit down quickly. Come and serve tea."
Sun Jizong had just taken charge of Jinyiwei, and the new king had just ascended the throne. Everyone was a newcomer. Sun Jizong took a sip of tea and replied: "I have received your majesty's holy grace to take charge of the Jin Yiwei. I dare to ask your Majesty to give instructions on what the Jin Yiwei should do next."
