Chapter 258 Harem

Up to now, Zhu Houzhao is probably able to control the small circle closest to him. These people may not agree with every decision he makes, but they trust him as the emperor.

However, if the scope is expanded, it will actually become much more intense.

And since the military order precedes the political order, then the plan of the Qianqing Palace today cannot be communicated to the outside world before the military order is in place.

The emperor glanced at Liu Jin. The grand duke in charge of the ceremony knew that he should say something himself.

"...The purpose of opening the sea is to rectify the situation, to quell the border troubles, and to quell the border troubles is to pacify the four directions. You are all His Majesty's confidants, and you all know the rules of the court. Matters discussed in the palace are subject to the imperial edict of the Chief of Ceremonies. The Supervisor of Ceremonies has not approved it, but if it is spread outside, the Supervisor of Ceremonies will not recognize it."

He is pretending to be a powerful person. Everyone knows that in the Zhengde Dynasty, the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to approve red affairs has been greatly restricted.

Zhu Houzhao then said: "If nothing happens, just retreat. After retreating, the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War will discuss the candidates for the commanders of Zhejiang and Min. The Ministry of Revenue will make arrangements for random inspections of reserve warehouses this year. As for Zhejiang, The Governor of Fujian...if there is a suitable candidate, he can also send a letter to come in."

This choice is very crucial, so the emperor means that it is not appropriate to make an immediate decision today, but to think about it carefully.

"As for Mr. Yang Ge, I don't know how the situation will be this year. If the situation is good, I will allocate another 300,000 taels of silver. If the situation is very bad, then we have to wait. Some people always say that I am young and impatient, but In fact, I am patient when it comes to the complex situation, and Mr. Yang Ge must also grasp this rhythm. As far as this year is concerned, Ningxia, Datong, and Xuanfu cannot be in chaos again."

Yang Yiqing, Yang Shangyi and Zhou Shangwen came out together, "I will obey your Majesty's holy will!"

"Your Majesty..." Liu Jin probably felt that the emperor was working too hard.

Liu Jin bowed and waited for the emperor's next order.

However, while he was resting, his mind still couldn't seem to stop, "Liu Jin."

"My slave is here."

Mei Huaigu understood in his heart that the so-called inappropriateness meant that the late emperor died not long ago.

However, Fengxi's persuasion to Yang Yiqing made him immediately change his mind. In that kind of environment, it was necessary to use strange methods, so Liang Chu was a little more decent.

Liu Daxia's crime was to ask for execution after the fall of the Qiu Dynasty.

He was still thinking about these things in his heart, wondering... if there were any mistakes or omissions.

"Qiuyun, just find someone to go there. You can go find Huaigu yourself. His two sisters are being used by me..."

If you say no, then it means His Majesty is programmed to say that he has a problem! If the Queen Mother is worried by then, then a simple matter will be complicated!

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao also thought of a solution in an instant, clicked his tongue and said, "Let's just write two letters. It's a bit too much to give one letter to two people."

"...I forgot to ask, how did you persuade Yang Yingning before?"

"Then slave girl, go and call Miss Qiuyun."

It didn't take long for the emperor to write the two letters. Because they were just one line of poetry each, he couldn't write a small composition in an era of strict etiquette.

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and suddenly remembered what he had discussed with them before, "You all know what happened in Zhejiang and Fujian. Yuan Xue (Fengxi), do you have the courage to take up the post of Chief Envoy of Fujian? ?”

Empress Dowager Zhang was very direct, "Qiuyun, you are the ones who serve His Majesty on weekdays... There are some things I have to ask you. I heard that Your Majesty went to Mei Mansion, and I was quite surprised. Why... In the palace That’s not possible? You want to go outside the palace to find the merchant’s daughter?”

Zhang Yong was a military supervisor before, and he got along well with Yang Yiqing this time. In an important frontier place like the northwest, the palace would send out guard eunuchs as usual.

"I didn't kill him immediately, but I didn't expect it would have such an effect. You two are quite clever."

In order to reduce constraints, Zhang Yong is still the most suitable.

"I am a humble minister, thank you for your gift! Your Majesty has shown you such kindness in the Mei Mansion, and I will never be able to repay it in my lifetime!"

A few days ago, the emperor went to Mei Mansion, and the matter spread in the palace. Since he could deceive the important officials of the court, it would not be seen through by the people in the harem.

"Forget it, you'd better ask him to come over."

After a while, Liu Jin and Qiu Yun also arrived.

Fengxi's scalp tightened. Of course, he had tried so hard to make the emperor think that he was capable. By persuading Yang Yiqing, he had indeed achieved this goal.

If it does exist, how do you know it exists? You must have done something, and it’s even harder to explain clearly.

You Zhi hurried to the Royal Horse Prison with his body in his mouth. Zhu Houzhao called Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun over again.

"Prepare the fragrant soup and take a dip before going to bed. Zhang Yong will go there when I arrange it."

"It's nothing more than death... If you are not even afraid of death, then there are indeed few things that are terrible. But Yuan Xue, you have to know that Fujian is no better than Zhejiang. Zhejiang has been rectified before, and I have people there, so the situation is still there.

It's slightly better. Fujian is probably a lot more dangerous."

"Sister, sister, you have to divide them up carefully and don't make mistakes. And you tell them that the time is not right now and they have to wait patiently for a while."

As for pity... how painful can it be for two eldest ladies with a good life to feel about their love? Is it more painful than the poor people who have no clothes to wear and no food to eat?

"Weak minister, please see Your Majesty."

Mei Huaigu slowly came to his senses. The gloom in his heart swept away, and he said with some joy: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. I think one letter is enough."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

In fact, during the court meeting just now, the name of the person who popped up in Zhu Houzhao's mind was Liang Chu. Liang Chu is currently the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Before that, he was the minister of Taipusi Temple. He was also a very capable person.

Since his sudden accession to the throne, there have been too many things going on.

No?

How should Qiu Yunxin reply to this!

"You address."

Following this logic, he will naturally be assigned unusual tasks.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at him, making Mei Huaigu feel a little embarrassed, "Uh... Your Majesty...?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

But when it comes to taking it seriously, there is nothing that can be used or not used... The biggest reason is that he saw the beauty himself, so of course he doesn't reject it. He doesn't want to do such a consuming thing as finding a partner yet, but discerning beauty

It's a man's instinct to be beautiful or not.

Mei Huaigu was stunned. He didn't expect such a question, and he rarely heard it. He was really stunned for a while.

"Why don't you dare? The so-called hardships and dangers only end in death!"

Fengxi said calmly: "I have gone, your Majesty has someone in Fujian."

Zhu Houzhao sat back at the imperial desk. He left the palace to go to the Mei Mansion earlier, in fact, he was taking advantage of the fact that people thought he was going there for the two girls. I am afraid that the inner courtyard of the Mei Mansion also thought so.

Actually... thinking back on it, Qiu Yun felt that it was probably true that the emperor would sometimes make some unintentional or intentional actions or simply bold looks.

These words were said with a taste of disgust, leaving Mei Huaigu speechless for a while.

Speaking of which, this actually means to put it nicely, if someone is no longer able to marry someone, wouldn’t it be immoral if you are still irresponsible?

"Wei Chen received the order." Guo Shangkun said.

"Mingzhi, He Jian, the governor of Yingtian, will probably go to Beijing in the next few days. When he takes office, you should go with him and become a political participant."

"It's okay, it's all simple."

After the courtiers had retired,

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair in Xinuan Pavilion and refused to leave for a long time. He stared blankly at the black-tiled red wall outside the palace gate and the white square in front of the palace.

Liu Jin quickly took a few steps and came to the emperor, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to bed early today?"

"Do you understand women's thoughts?"

After all, even the party taking advantage of it would find it a bit weird to use one person's 'measure' to win over two people.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, "In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the late emperor and I were already choosing a good family for your majesty... Succession of heirs is the most important thing for the Tian family. Now, your majesty is fifteen years old and busy with government affairs all day long.

But he doesn’t care at all about the issue of his heirs. Listening to what you mean again, Your Majesty... doesn’t seem to have such intention?"

"The slaves don't understand what the Queen Mother means. All the time, the slaves have only served Her Majesty in daily life."

Generally, such people would have a chance of survival, even if the emperor gradually calmed down, he might not be killed.

"Those two sisters of yours, should I write one letter or two letters?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made my own decision. I went to the Ministry of Punishments and asked Mr. Yang Ge to meet Liu Shiyong."

"Go and call Zhang Yong."

Surrounded by eunuchs and maids, the emperor prepared to bathe and change clothes.

Moreover, these words have a slight flavor of accusation, but in fact Qiuyun can't say nonsense, "I can't do it in the palace" is not her problem, because she does not have such a status to accept this accusation.

Qiu Yun probably still remembers that Empress Dowager Zhang summoned her the next day, then retreated and asked some embarrassing questions. She was still a virgin, how could she be embarrassed to say some words?

Therefore, she was quite reserved in front of Empress Dowager Zhang, and her face turned red like a ripe nectarine.

Zhang Yong was an internal official, and where he went was just a matter of a word from the emperor, and there was no need to discuss it with anyone. So it was really simple, and there was no time for a stick of incense before he left.

The emperor did not raise his head, but he could already hear Mei Huaigu's voice.

Zhu Houzhao was indeed a little surprised. He had so many things to do every day, it was difficult for him to think of such a method. "So it was Liu Shiyong who persuaded me."

"Go down."

"Get flat."

Zhu Houzhao raised his head and rubbed his temples. Liu Jin came out and took the two people out.

From her point of view, this matter was indeed very strange. What she was worried about was whether a woman outside the palace might have cast a spell on the emperor.

But on Mei Huaigu’s side…

"What the Queen Mother said... I really don't know how to answer. I only know that I am just a maid serving tea, and I dare not have any excessive delusions."

Queen Mother Zhang smiled slightly and nodded, "No wonder His Majesty keeps using you. You are indeed smart."

~~

Zhu Houzhao also felt that something was wrong with Qiuyun today, because his face was very red when he was changing clothes.

"You, what's wrong?"
