Can Zhu undressed slowly and gently, and whispered instructions gently. Even though I have been taught, it seems that no matter how many times I have been taught this kind of thing, it is better to be there myself. Expectation and fear coexist in my heart, and at the same time, I am also afraid of doing something wrong.
To be honest, too much of this kind of emotion can ruin the atmosphere. For a time, Zhu Houzhao began to understand Cao Cao. After all, he was still a little older and could care for others.
But he just let nature take its course, just like tonight was not planned. Because this kind of thing would actually be quite interesting if it was an accident. So we were guided to the other side bit by bit.
Even the last piece of clothing was really hard to take off. The candlelight in the hall flickered, flickering in and out of light. Two people, one on the left and one on the right, lowered their heads and looked away.
At a certain moment, the scene seemed to freeze like this.
But they still tried hard and stretched out their hands without daring to look, "...Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao pressed his arm and said, "If I don't want to embarrass you, why don't you just lie down?"
Hiding under the quilt like this, I dared to take off my clothes.
So following his words, everything happened like this.
"Turn around and embrace the flowers and snow, get on the bed and embrace the flowers, the mandarin ducks dance across their necks, the emerald acacia cages, the brows and black eyebrows gather frequently, the red lips are warmer and melting, the air is clear and fragrant, the skin is moist and jade, the muscles are plump, I can't move my arms carelessly, Such a delicate love bows. This is written by Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty... The air is clear and blue, the skin is moist and the muscles are plump. In the past, I thought the ancients were so serious, but I didn't expect to even write about skin-to-skin contact."
The warmth inside the quilt made the body temperature rise due to the steam. Zhu Houzhao never thought that he would ask this question in his two lifetimes, but he still had to ask, that is...
"Which one of you comes first?"
…
"Your Majesty, let Huaiyan come first."
"Sister comes first."
"I am the older sister, and I have to let my younger sister stand by my side."
…
In the second half of the night, Zhu Houzhao didn't sleep well.
Because his performance was unsatisfactory, he kept looking for reasons to comfort himself.
In fact, he still kept exercising.
Slightly dissatisfied.
I continued to sleep lightly with the thought of trying again in a few days.
On the other hand, the two girls seemed to have something on their mind and fell asleep quickly under his coaxing.
Fortunately, he was young, so a bad night's sleep did not affect his condition.
The next morning, the eunuch called as usual. Although the Mei sisters were tired, they did not dare to delay, lest any official in the court would interfere with them again.
At night in ancient times, lighting conditions were still not good. Zhu Houzhao can only see it clearly under the sunlight during the day. It is said that in spring, the flowers in the world are colorful, and the nephrite is full of warm fragrance. This is probably the case.
The younger sister imitated her older sister in helping the emperor get dressed. She probably accidentally touched something, so she quickly pulled her hand away and exclaimed.
Huaixiao saw that her movements were less steady and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "It's okay. The little chicken drank water with his face turned up to the sky. It's a good thing."
He feels that he is very healthy and will try again next time.
The important matters of the morning court cannot be delayed. The emperor took a chariot and left after getting better dressed.
Wearing clothes, we looked at each other with smiles and full of shyness.
The older sister took her younger sister's hand and said, "Then let's go back to Yongshou Palace."
"good."
"You also think about it, if you have any good ideas, we can also thank Miss Qiuyun."
The source of this matter was still her.
However, this matter would be difficult for both of them. After all, they didn't know what Qiuyun needed. And I don’t even have the heart to think about that.
Women are actually strange and lovely creatures. For example, I didn’t feel it was anything before, but afterward, I felt as if all I was focusing on was someone else’s.
Zhu Houzhao didn't have much thought to continue thinking about it. Because, Yang Yiqing came to Beijing.
Also accompanying him were Zhou Shangwen and Yang Shangyi.
When Zhou Shangwen came back, there was a scar of several centimeters on his forehead. It was not deep, but it was obvious and completely visible.
Some people thought it was not good-looking, but when Zhu Houzhao saw it, his favorable impression of this famous general whose name was recorded in history books increased.
Zhou Shangwen also submitted a military report. According to the rules set by the prince who was in charge of the country in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the generals of the Ming Dynasty cavalry were required to submit reports to the emperor every six months.
For such an important government matter, it is actually a good idea to submit it regularly, because no one dares to block this memorial.
The three of them waited until the emperor finished reading the memorial.
"...Looking back on the Zhengtong, Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi years, in the past seventy years, our Ming Dynasty suffered more defeats against the Tatars, especially the defeat of Tumubao, which resulted in the humiliation of our ancestors and the loss of national prestige. I have worked hard to govern and revive the military prestige. , that is, knowing shame and then being brave, Zhou Aiqing galloped across the desert and dared to engage the enemy. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, this military courage alone is worthy of my commendation!"
"Ten months ago, when Zhou Aiqing's army reported to Beijing, some of the ministers in the DPRK actually made rude remarks, saying that the imperial officers and soldiers attacked rashly. I just ignored it. Am I the kind of king who can be bullied?! General Yang left Ningxia, When General Zhou left Datong, I decided to repeat the national policy just to tell the Tatars that from now on, offense and defense will change!"
Snapped!
Zhou Shangwen and Yang Shangyi are both military generals. When they heard that the emperor was such a strong-blooded monarch, they felt confident when they bowed their hands and said, "As generals of the Ming Dynasty, we must defend the land of the Ming Dynasty! I am willing to fight bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty." Yang Yiqing also spoke, "I am in the northwest, and I have also heard that the opening of the sea in the southeast has been successful. From now on, all military supplies in the northwest can come from sea trade. In less than three years, I will definitely drive the Tatars north to the desert and reappear in our dynasty. The power of Taizu!"
"Yes. The three of you are all ministers I rely on. You and I will work together on matters related to the northwest. I heard that the little prince of Mongolia was also a British master. He conquered the east and west with the intention of promoting the unification of Mongolia." Zhu Houzhao Smiling softly, "How can I not be happy that there are heroes in this world?! Yan Zhang, you have already fought with him, what do you think of this person?"
Zhou Shangwen replied: "The Mongolian little prince ascended the throne as a young man. He took the throne under the leadership of his adoptive mother and his wife Mandu Haihatun. Mandu Haihatun was a strange woman in the Mongolian tribe. She could ride a horse and shoot arrows. , led troops to fight. During the Hongzhi period, Mandu Haihatun led the young prince to conquer Oara, forcing them to move westward and removing the threat from the west. In recent years, emphasis has been placed on attacking powerful officials of different surnames who are good at governing. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the fire sieve was Huamachi was defeated and its power was greatly reduced. After it was included in the grassland, it was also included in its account. At present, except for the 30,000 households led by Yongxie Buzhiyibulu on the right wing and Agule of Ordos, the rest of the Monan Mongolian tribes They are all headed by him.”
Yang Yiqing reported, "I made a mistake and actually made a wedding dress for the enemy chief during the battle in the 18th year of Hongzhi. Please punish me."
"That's wrong." Zhu Houzhao stood up, "The fire sifting bandits entered the pass, plundered my people, and harmed the people. How can I, the king of the Ming Dynasty, coax him? Although the affairs of the world are complicated, they must be discussed after all. There is no reason not to retaliate when scolded or beaten. Therefore, the battle of Huamachi greatly increased the national prestige and was a great victory for our Ming army. As for the vertical and horizontal strategies, use them if they can be used, and discard them if they cannot. , does Ming Dynasty want to rely on winning over a few Mongolian tribes?"
The emperor's words were extremely powerful.
Even generals like Yang Shangyi and Zhou Shangwen had to be convinced.
Yang Yiqing has been completely surrendered since he took charge of Ma Zheng. With such a monarch, he will definitely make immortal contributions and leave a name for all generations. As a scholar, what more can he ask for?
"Your Majesty is wise. In a country of gentlemen, the country of gentlemen should act in a dignified way. The ministers believe that since the national policy is divided into three years, the court needs to prepare an additional 20,000 troops in the first year of Zhengde, and 30,000 troops in the following year. In this way, the army will attack. In field battles, the Ming army is not inferior to the Tatars!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "I don't have that many soldiers for you. I don't have that much money. In the first year of Zhengde, I will prepare 10,000 cavalry and hand them over to Ningxia Town under your control. In addition to cavalry, you should increase the number of guard troops in the northwest." Practice, and also, pay attention to... train some spies, if possible, can you draw a topographic map?"
Before the big meeting, important issues in the complex must be discussed in private.
If you don't say yes, how long will it take for you to talk to me about such a big country and so many things? The general meeting solves small things, and the small meeting solves big things. This is the essence.
On the other side, Yang Shangyi probably felt that he had no chance to shine, so he reported: "Your Majesty, after the imperial court prepared 10,000 cavalry in the first year of Zhengde, I would like to request an order to patrol the Great Wall!"
"Zhunzhuo, we can't always fight against them. We also have to think of ways to fight over them. We have the Great Wall and the city. What do they have? So we have to find ways to attack their territory and plunder some cattle. The sheep will come back to feast on the soldiers. As long as they are harassed a few times, they will be in disarray. However, I agree with you to cross the Great Wall. I am not asking you to blindly go deep. If you want to make meritorious deeds, you can do it, but don't be impatient."
Zhu Houzhao knew Yang Shangyi's psychology, but he could only remind him so far.
Otherwise, we cannot greatly appreciate Zhou Shangwen but prevent Yang Shangyi from taking action.
People's livelihood issues are important, and military issues are equally important.
In addition to meeting with provincial officials, Zhu Houzhao also paid great attention to the border troops and the Beijing camp. He will not investigate the issue of military camps at this time, the time is not yet ripe, but he will focus on some military construction, especially the Beijing camp.
The Beijing camp must also have construction goals. One of those items is firearms.
The Shenji Battalion among the three battalions originally established by Emperor Yongle was actually a firearms unit. At this time, most of the artillery barrels were filled with stones, lead, iron, etc., which were actually solid bullets, but a few were also equipped with explosive pellets. The range was generally from a few hundred steps to two or three miles, and the power was not small. It's great all over the world.
】
In addition to cannons, the Ming army also had firecrackers, which were the standard weapon of the Ming army. Tens of thousands of them were produced. This kind of firecrackers were widely used in the defense of Beijing after the Battle of Tumubao.
Of course, both the muskets and cannons have probably fallen into disrepair over the years.
Starting from the first year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao will definitely advocate to change this situation.
As the emperor, he didn't have to worry too much. As March was approaching, some news about the Great Court Meeting gradually spread among the officialdom of the capital.
In the past, the emperor frequently summoned ministers, and most of them had the opportunity to "report their duties" to the emperor. However, people's energy was limited, and the court's financial resources were also limited.
In other words, not all suggestions will be adopted, even if they are reasonable. For example, some people propose an inventory of military camps; and not all matters will enter the scope of the court's discussion.
The emperor will decide what the March meeting will be like.
This is an important form of exercise of power, that is, deciding issues. Whatever I say will be discussed will be discussed, and whatever I say will not be discussed will be discussed.
Among these topics, there are two that there is absolutely no doubt about: complex construction and opening up the sea. Basically, the ones that can be determined are taxation and horse administration. There should be many more mentioned, such as river work, the city that never sleeps, academies, imperial examinations, and emperors. Wedding, Hami, official administration, etc.
February 24, the first year of Zhengde.
The imperial edict came from the palace, and the emperor had reached an agreement with the cabinet and the military aircraft department. The imperial meeting officially started on the first day of March and would be held for seven consecutive days, with one topic per day.
To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was thinking not to mention the seven things, but to do one thing well every year. After ten years, the country should be prosperous.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the officialdom in the capital began to boil, even boiling.
There are only seven topics. If you eliminate seven and four, there will not be much left.
As a result, the threshold for ministers trusted by the emperor such as Wang Hao, Han Wen, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Mao, and Min Gui was about to be crossed. Officials from all walks of life wanted to explain more about the matters in their hands. It would be best if these people could tell the emperor Report again.
But in fact, there is no one who can control Zhu Houzhao.
On the 25th,
There is another imperial edict from the Qianqing Palace in Di Bao.
"Come on, come on! The topic on the first day of the meeting: Complex!"
Another two-story and spacious restaurant was built outside Zhengyang Gate in Nancheng of the capital, which was named Shuiyunjian. Nancheng of the capital is becoming more and more lively. When businessmen see the business opportunities here, they naturally open their doors to do business here first.
Compared with the Linglong Restaurant in the past, Shuiyunjian was built to be wider and yet exquisite, and it gradually became the new favorite of the powerful in Beijing. Moreover, Zhengyangmen is just across from the main government offices of the Liubu and other imperial courts, and a lot of news gathers here.
But today’s repeated news is not surprising.
The rich and powerful man who was having fun and drinking didn't even reward the waiter with a single eldest son. He even laughed and scolded him, "I want you to tell me something that everyone in the capital knows. Do you want to use this to defraud the reward?"
The waiter didn't know anything about being an official. He only knew that there were a lot of guests recently, and the official position seemed to be high. It was said that there was a big court meeting on March 1st, so he thought that was it. I didn't expect to hit a wall.
I became smarter the next day, so I stopped shouting.
It was those good deeds themselves who exclaimed,
"The topic on the second day of the meeting was actually river construction!"
"What?"
"Isn't it necessary to open the sea?"
…
A group of people on the second floor shared their shock with each other. The waiter beside them was dumbfounded. One of them even slapped his mouth. There should be a reward for shouting today, right?
…
"The topics of the Great Court meeting were decided by His Majesty. Complexity is a national policy and should be the first issue. However, the discussion of river engineering is indeed unexpected."
"What's the surprise? There is a poem that goes: The gangster lives in danger and his income is small, and he lives on the banks of this river for generations. The imperial envoys promote water conservancy, and they say flat wheels and side wheels! What the people rely on are all between the fields. If you manage a river, you will benefit. There are thousands of people. Your Majesty will be the next generation of wise kings, and this is the right thing to do!"
"What you said is true! Now that the imperial court has discussed the river construction, great success can be expected in the world! It should be clear!"
"Not bad, not bad! With the Holy King on the throne, a prosperous age can be expected!"
The ordinary people nearby couldn't understand poetry, but they could understand river management and sage kings. It was always a good thing anyway, so most of them were happy.
"It seems that it is a good thing for the emperor to hold this big court meeting?"
"It was said that there were seven days and seven topics, but only two came out!"
As a result, the entire capital was whetted by the emperor. What would the next five be?
===
Well.
Today I am writing a little four thousand, I am tired. There are always a few days every month.
