Concubine Wu was very happy to have a job. After Zhu Qiyu's plea, she finally agreed "reluctantly".
After everyone had dinner, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly said goodbye: "Let Qianxue continue chatting with her mother and concubine. I have to go back to bed quickly. There are many problems waiting for me tomorrow."
The concubine sighed: "This emperor is really suffering. Who among you will go to bed tonight? You must take good care of Yu'er."
When the four concubines under Qianxue heard this, they all blushed and lowered their heads.
Only Qianxue shook the concubine's arm and said coquettishly: "Concubine, my daughter-in-law should be sleeping with me, but my husband just doesn't want us."
Hearing this, the concubine patted Qianxue's jade hand and said comfortingly: "That's because Yu'er loves you so much. You still sleep with me at such a young age. Your body has been damaged. You will regret it in the future.
Anyway, you and Su Xi's position as princess is untouchable. Why are you so anxious? It's better to take advantage of your young age and play carefree for two or three years. "
When Qianxue heard the words "untouchable" spoken by the concubine herself, she smiled happily and said, "Then Sister Lao Ningxiang and Sister Linglong will sleep with your husband tonight."
The two girls quickly agreed, and after settling the issue of the candidate for the bedchamber, Zhu Qiyu stood up and left, taking the two girls back to Ningxiang's boudoir.
This was the first time that Zhu Qiyu spent the night in the concubine's room. As soon as he entered Ningxiang's boudoir, he saw that the furnishings in the room were elegant and well-proportioned, and it had a unique charm.
As soon as he sat next to the bed, he smelled a refreshing fragrance. Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What kind of fragrance is this? It makes people feel relaxed and happy, and it is not like those crude powders outside that give people a headache."
Ningxiang knelt at Zhu Qiyu's feet, taking off her husband's shoes, and said with a smile: "The slave family has had a strange fragrance since childhood, and was interested in spices, so they specialized in medical science and making incense. Later, because the incense was good, she was Renamed Ningxiang.”
Zhu Qiyu repeatedly praised: "Okay, okay, you are just like your name. You sisters all have unique skills. I have found a treasure. What about Linglong, is there any explanation for your name?"
Hearing this, Linglong's pretty face turned red all the way to her ears, and she replied softly: "The slave's body is the same as that of the princess, a white tiger, naked, so she was renamed Linglong to take the meaning of the exquisite jade body."
Zhu Qiyu looked between Linglong's legs and asked in surprise: "You are just like the princess. You sisters are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons. It really makes my husband admire you."
Linglong blushed and replied: "Actually, so is Ningxiang. Her body is fragrant and smooth, and she should be the more deserving Jade Body Linglong. It's just that her fragrance is more prominent, so she named Ningxiang. The name Linglong was left to the slave family."
Zhu Qiyu blushed and his heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and boldly ordered: "Take off your clothes and show me."
Unexpectedly, when the two girls heard the words, although they were extremely shy, they obeyed without hesitation, which opened Zhu Qiyu's eyes.
What happens next will be discussed in detail later.
There was nothing to say all night, and he slept until almost noon the next day. In an extremely comfortable mood, Zhu Qiyu came to the West Flower Hall and summoned a group of important ministers who came to report.
Yu Qian first reported: "Your Majesty, there is a Jinyiwei small flag officer named Chen Xitong who escaped from Oala and fled back to the capital. The official said that Tuotuo Buhua had returned to Guangning after leading 10,000 Dazi to plunder Guangning. Yezhukou Old Camp.
Now Tuotuo Buhua has led his army to the southwest again. If he wants to make peace, he has an appointment with Alazhiyuan first, and recently he came to besiege Beijing. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded, and in order to set the tone for today's political discussions, he directly issued an edict without asking the opinions of the ministers: "Promote Chen Xitong to the rank of Jinyiwei Baihu.
In addition, please ask the Ministry of Rites to give Tuotuo Buhua and order him to return all the captured officers, soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty, one by one. The commander-in-chief of Liaodong was ordered to accept it. "
Hearing this, Hu Xi asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, how can Tuo Tuo Bu Hua listen to us? I have never heard of people who were kidnapped by Meng Yuan taking the initiative to return."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said with a confident smile: "You don't have to worry about this, just follow what I said. That Tuotuo Buhua will definitely be frightened by the majesty of our Han emperor and send him back obediently."
Hu Hui arched his hands and said no more. The following is what follows, whatever the emperor likes, anyway, it won’t be me who will be slapped in the face.
Wang Wen continued: "Your Majesty, the latest military report of Yang Hong and the memorials of officials from Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan have been sent to you and handed over to the three Zhongshushe people. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll take a closer look later."
Zhou Chen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, asked: "Your Majesty, have you decided on the person to manage the river?"
"It has been decided that Xu Jue will be promoted to the censor of Youqiandu, in charge of the management of the Yellow River and canals in Shandong. All departments of the imperial court must fully cooperate."
When Hu Hu heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Xu Jui made arrogant suggestions about moving to the south and shook the people's hearts. He is guilty of a great crime. How can your majesty entrust him with important responsibilities instead?"
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I decided to give Xu Jue a chance to prove whether he was deceiving the country with his lies. He has also issued a military order and healed the river. I will forget the blame and give him a heavy reward. If I can't heal the river, I will Kill his whole family.
In addition, Shi Heng was conferred the title of Uncle Wu Qing; Sun Boring was promoted to the right governor, serving as the general military officer, in charge of three thousand battalions, and responsible for the defense of Xizhimen. Jiao Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Prince Consort who was originally in charge of the Three Thousand Battalions, was changed to the governor of Jingying. "
When all the ministers heard the words, they all wanted to speak. Zhu Qiyu quickly waved his hand: "My decision has been made. My dear friends, there is no need to say more. Is there anything else to report?"
Chen Xun replied: "Your Majesty, Cheng Li of the Taiyuan Hospital asked you to collect various poisons as poisonous arrows."
Zhu Qiyu laughed when he heard this and said: "It turns out that the Taiyuan Hospital is also proficient in making poisons. Okay, let's do it, but let the Taiyuan Hospital send a copy of all the poisons purchased. I want to take a look.
That's it for today. I'm tired. Yu Aiqing will stay for a meal. I have something to discuss with you. The others can leave. "
Others saw that the wind was going in the wrong direction today and that the emperor was a bit too strong, so they stopped making any further remarks and bowed out one after another.
Now the important ministers have also found some rules for the new emperor: if the emperor is very talkative at first when discussing matters on a certain day, he will always be very talkative. If the emperor is particularly strong at the beginning, he will remain strong throughout the entire discussion.
Anyway, the emperor was stronger today, and the ministers had nothing particularly urgent to do, so they no longer insisted.
Yu Qian stayed and chatted with the emperor for a while, then he heard dense footsteps outside. Based on Yu Qian's many years of experience, he speculated that there were at least two hundred fully armed guards mobilizing outside.
Looking at the emperor's unconcerned expression, Yu Qian knew that this was arranged by the emperor in advance. It seemed that there was no good banquet. What was waiting for him today was also a Hongmen Banquet.
After a while, when it was quiet outside, Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi to invite Huang Pu. He smiled at Qian and said, "Please come to the east side room for dinner. I also made an appointment with someone to talk about something. You can go there first." .”
Yu Qian had no choice but to stand up, salute, and leave the West Flower Hall. When he looked up, he saw that there were already fully armed guards standing under the corridors in all directions.
All the personal guards wear light blue brocade clothes, which is clearly different from the color of the brocade guards' clothing. However, looking at the exquisiteness of his clothes, the exquisite materials used, the appropriate tailoring, and the neatness of his military appearance, he is even better than the Han generals in the Imperial Guard.
Yu Qian was a little stunned when he saw it. This suit of clothes didn't cost dozens of taels of free money, so it might not be possible to buy it. The emperor really spent a lot of money on his personal guards.
Look at the expressions on the faces of the personal guards. They are all majestic and solemn. Their sense of identity and pride in being the emperor's personal guards is also beyond words.
Yu Qian was secretly shocked: This Hongmen Banquet was really grand. I was afraid that the emperor would have a showdown with him. This was too sudden.
