"Oh? Going to a hot spring? I want to go too. After defeating Wala, we can relax together and celebrate.
I have been tortured to death by the ministers recently. There is no sincerity and no trust at all between us. It is all endless temptations and countless stumbling blocks, both overt and covert. "
Sure enough, Lin Xiangyu had the foresight. The prince and princess turned around when they heard this. The little prince quickly asked: "Uncle is also going with us. Can uncle take us to ride horses?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, but there are conditions. From now until noon tomorrow, let me and your aunt have a good reunion. You two will follow your two little aunts tonight. Promise me, I will take you You go ride a horse."
The little prince thought for a while and found that it was acceptable to follow the two aunts, so he smiled and asked for a hookup.
After redeeming the little princess from the prince, Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood. He flipped through a pile of account books on the table, planned to chat for a few more words, and then went back to the room to kiss the little princess in his arms.
Unexpectedly, I caught a glimpse of the two characters "Secret Treasury" written on the cover of an account book at the bottom.
When Zhu Qiyu saw this, he was quite curious, why didn't I know there was a secret vault at home.
Lin Xiangyu's free hand quickly grabbed the secret book and hid it behind her back.
Zhu Qiyu quickly grabbed it, held it in his arms, and then said angrily: "What a little girl, you have learned how to hide your secrets. Go back to your room and see how I manage you."
After that, he handed the prince and princess to Chaoyun and Mu Yu to take care of them first, and then he returned to the room with Lin Xiangyu in his arms.
The two of them were not really in a hurry. They helped each other take off their clothes and lay on the bed for a while. After a while, Zhu Qiyu took the secret library book and planned to find out.
Lin Xiangyu smiled and persuaded: "The slave family has persuaded the husband. If the husband uses the things in the secret library and becomes addicted, and misses the state affairs, don't blame the slave family."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he became even more curious and quickly opened the secret book. The pages inside were painted with various special utensils and lifelike men and women, along with detailed instructions for use.
After flipping through the pages, Zhu Qiyu sincerely praised: "It turns out that the princess actually likes to be trained like this. It's disrespectful. I underestimated the princess before. If I had known, I wouldn't be so gentle to the princess."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu patted Zhu Qiyu softly and angrily: "Humph, who is this kind of person? The slave family has long told me not to look at it, but you have to listen to it. This was copied from the home of Wang Zhen and his cronies. s things."
"But Wang Zhen and the others are eunuchs."
"It's just because they are eunuchs that they have to play like this. Do you think eunuchs don't play with women anymore? There once was a eunuch called Wang Jin, who was given the title of wife by the late emperor.
Just say that the late emperor gave a eunuch two maids as wives. If the eunuch doesn't do anything, wouldn't he be disobeying the emperor? "
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "My father also gave the eunuch a palace maid as his wife. This is too ridiculous. How did you know about it?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Wang Zhen was highly regarded by the four emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He was first selected by Emperor Taizong and sent to serve Emperor Renzong as a confidant.
Emperor Renzong was very fond of Wang Zhen. When the late emperor succeeded to the throne, he still valued Wang Zhen and sent him to give lectures to the prince. In other words, he became the teacher of the then Crown Prince and the current Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, Wang Zhen's family has a very rich collection of books and classics. When the Nu family browsed through them in their spare time, they learned a lot of things that others did not know. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he quickly slapped his forehead: "Yes, Wang Zhen was respected by four generations of emperors, so he must know a lot of things. Why didn't I think of looking through his study?"
You, little princess, too, why didn’t you remind me? "
Lin Xiangyu teased with a smile: "There are so many books. I'm afraid that your husband won't be able to read them and remember them, which will only cause trouble, so I read them for him without authorization. Although I can't say that I can't forget everything, my memory is not as good as yours." The counselor should not be much different. If your husband wants to know anything, just consult the slave family."
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "I want to go to Li Qi's place and buy some women and eunuchs. What does the princess say?"
"Li Qi? Are you talking about the king of Korea? That husband is really good-sighted. Emperor Taizong once said: I took three thousand Annan fires, but they were all stupid and useless. But the Korean fire ones are bright and agile, and they are ready for use. They are used for exploration."
In other words, Emperor Taizong had verified that the eunuchs selected from North Korea were better. However, Emperor Taizong sent envoys to ask for it from the King of Korea, but he was too embarrassed to tell the number directly, fearing that North Korea would not be able to come up with it and make it difficult for the King of Korea.
The king of Korea asked the envoy privately how much the emperor wanted, and the envoy said about three or four hundred. The king of Korea said in embarrassment: Choosing eunuchs is not farming. Throw the seeds into the ground and a bunch of crops will grow next year. As for eunuchs, it is difficult to supply them in large quantities.
Therefore, the Nu family thought that a maximum of one hundred and fifty would be sufficient. If there were any more, the King of Korea would scold us. Women can ask for more. It's not a problem to ask for four or five hundred. "
Zhu Qiyu was a little dumbfounded: "Princess, you are really not bragging. You know this. I have never heard that Emperor Taizong said these things."
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Now your husband knows that the princess is useful. I will serve my husband in bed first, and we will discuss the selection of the person in detail later."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he put down his secular affairs and started doing what he should do.
…
The emperor in Beijing can still think about Korean women, but the emperor in the far north can only face the Oara women.
But he said that Hu Hui's guess was very accurate this time. Just when the emperor in Beijing was having a great fight with the little princess, the envoy led by Chen Yi, the censor of Youdu, and Yang Shan, the minister of rites, just arrived at the Wala camp.
It turned out that I ran and ran first, and had crossed Datong to the north and reached the outside of the Great Wall.
Chen Yi and Yang Shan hurriedly caught up with Ye Xian's team. The Ming Dynasty's mission was also very, very difficult. No one could have imagined that instead of attacking the capital, he ran to his hometown on the grassland.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty envoy had already come to see him once, and this time he was familiar with the route and arrived at the Chinese army's tent smoothly.
Grand Master Ye Xian accompanied Zhu Qizhen to sit in the Chinese army's tent. As soon as Chen Yi and Yang Shan came in, they knelt at Zhu Qizhen's feet, crying and kowtow.
Zhu Qizhen didn't understand and hurriedly advised: "Get up, I'm doing a good job. Why are you crying like this?"
Yang Shan cried and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has issued an edict, ordering King Qi to succeed to the throne in the capital, and she respects your Majesty as the Supreme Emperor."
Zhu Qizhen was startled when he heard this and was speechless for a long time.
But he also angrily rebuked: "The legitimate emperor of Ming Dynasty is still there, how can you establish a new emperor? Isn't this a rebellious minister?"
Yang Shan was the most eloquent and was not afraid to take the lead. He immediately replied: "The grand master released the emperor. You don't release his majesty, and you don't let the queen mother establish a new king. Then what do you want to do? ?”
"Who said I won't release His Majesty? There is something wrong with what you said. I have never detained Your Majesty, but have always wanted to send His Majesty back.
It's just that all of you, the guards at Datong, Xuanfu, and Juyongguan, refuse to accept it. How do you want me to send it away? "
Yang Shan replied: "Then the grand master will hand over your majesty to our envoy to take him back. How about that?"
He replied without hesitation: "Yes, your Majesty is willing."
When Chen Yi and Yang Shan heard this, they all looked at Zhu Qizhen.
But Zhu Qizhen shook his head: "I will not go back with the envoy. Either Grand Master Ye Xian will lead an army to send me back to the capital, or my direct lineage troops who are loyal to me will come to pick me up."
When Chen Yi and Yang Shan heard this, they looked at each other. After a long while, Yang Shan asked: "Your Majesty, why is this? We can send troops to the Xuan Mansion by the Grand Master, and then the Grand Master's army will leave the north of the fortress and be escorted by Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion, for the rest of the journey."
Zhu Qizhen shook his head firmly and said something that baffled the two of them: "Yang Hong is a traitor."
Chen Yi was puzzled and asked: "Yang Hong has been guarding the border for more than 40 years. He has made numerous achievements and is famous. He is honored as 'King Yang'. How can he be a traitor?"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "You don't know the connection, and I won't argue with you. It's okay if the Ming army comes to pick me up. I want Prince Jingyuan Wang Ji, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao, and Anyuan Marquis Liu Pu to take Nan with them." The elite troops came to greet him.
If the Ming army in Shanxi picks me up, I will never follow them. Otherwise, it is impossible for me to return to the Forbidden City alive. If you are still loyal ministers, please stop pushing your father to death. "
Chen Yi wanted to persuade him again, but Yang Shan gently pulled Chen Yi and reported to Zhu Qi: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has her own agenda. You'd better listen to the Queen Mother's agenda first."
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he quickly stood up respectfully and said, "There is a decree from the Queen Mother. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry up and announce the decree."
