When he met Chongzhen's gaze, he immediately paused and said, "It's broken!"
Could it be that I did something wrong again this time? I flattered the horse again this time? Ordinarily, I shouldn’t. Even a blind man can see the thoughts of Lord Long Live towards Li Xiangjun.
Wang Chengen, who was guarding the door, shook his head slightly.
I thought in my heart that this old guy Gao Qiqian is really a dog who can't change his mind and eats shit.
You are so bold as to arrange a concubine for Lord Long Live. Is this what you, a domestic slave, should do?
Long live the Lord's temperament has changed drastically since Meishan became enlightened. The most taboo is for others to make decisions for him. But you, a domestic slave, want to make the decision for the Long live Lord. It is really a life-long man hanging on his neck because he dislikes his long life.
In comparison, Wang Chengen's understanding of Chongzhen was much more thorough.
After waving, the little eunuch who was standing not far away bowed and walked over.
Wang Chengen whispered to the young eunuch: "Go and invite General Li over."
"General Li?" The little eunuch looked confused, "Which General Li is it?"
There are many generals named Li in Xuzhou City, both young and old. There are two chief military officers alone.
Wang Chengen was not angry at all, and whispered: "General Li Xiangjun of the Xuzhou Suppression Campaign."
"Oh, son, let's go right now." The little eunuch suddenly woke up from a dream, turned around and ran away.
In the palace, Chongzhen stared at Gao Qiqian for a long time and said quietly: "Gao Banban, are you choosing a concubine for me? If I remember correctly, it seems that selecting a concubine should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, right?"
"
"Long live my Lord!" Gao Qiqian fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Long live Lord, I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that it is really hard for Lord Long live without a concubine to serve me, so I boldly approached General Li. This loyalty of my old slave can represent the sun and the moon, and can shine on the world."
"Oh, really?" Chongzhen said suddenly, "Are you saying that I am ignorant and do not recognize loyal ministers and wise ministers?"
"Long live my Lord, this is not what I mean." Gao Qiqian was so anxious that he slapped himself twice in the mouth. While doing so, he begged with a mournful face, "I am just a slave of the same family. How can I be a loyal and virtuous minister?"
"Oh, you are not a loyal and virtuous minister." Chongzhen said, "Then you are a treacherous and treacherous minister?"
"Ah? This..." Gao Qiqian almost cried, "Long live my Lord, you can't talk like this."
Chongzhen suddenly put his face in front of Gao Qiqian and said in a deep voice: "What did you say to Li Xiangjun?"
"Yeah, I didn't say anything. I just said, Long Live Lord, you..." Gao Qiqian glanced at Chongzhen secretly, then quickly changed his words and said truthfully, "I just told her, Long Live Lord, can you trust me?"
It's her blessing to win her, let her wash herself tonight, come and go to bed, that's all."
"Bastard!" Chongzhen was furious and kicked Gao Qiqian down.
"Li Xiangjun is my imperial conferment general and the only female general in the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of her?"
"She is no longer the courtesan in the Meixiang Tower, nor is she a performer in the National Disaster Troupe. She is now our Ming Dynasty's general in aid and suppression of Xuzhou, and a flag of the Ming Dynasty!"
"How dare you treat the imperial generals like this?"
"Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the courage!"
Looking at Chongzhen, who was roaring like a lion, Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he trembled.
Gao Qiqian is really regretting his guts. Why do you think you are worrying about this? You are really idle. This is a good time. Maybe if you really take this old life, this long live master is too difficult to serve.
But fortunately, Chongzhen had no intention of killing anyone.
I scolded Gao Qiqian and told him to get lost.
Gao Qiqian left in disgrace, but Li Xiangjun walked in with red eyes.
It seemed that Li Xiangjun had just wiped his tears and probably heard what he said.
At least in what he said just now, Chongzhen really regarded her as a military commander of the imperial court, not a actress in the national disaster troupe, let alone a famous prostitute in Meixiang Tower who entertained people with sex.
Li Xiangjun was adopted by Li Zhenli since she was a child, so she was used to the hypocrisy in romance.
The so-called talented men and beautiful women, and the eternal alliances are just the imagination of these prostitutes.
Ten miles across the Qinhuai River, how many beauties shed tears? How many of those romantic talents who lingered in brothels truly treated them as famous prostitutes as human beings?
How could Hou Fangyu ever take her personally?
Why did Zhu Guobi, the protector of the country, take Kou Baimen personally?
How can the great talent Chen Zhenhui take her mother Li Zhenli personally?
Liu Rushi's sister became Qian Muzhai's concubine, and the ending was great, but so what? Qian Qianyi still only used her as a means of entertainment in his old age, so how could he have any respect for her?
But the Holy Father gave her Li Xiangjun's true respect.
Because intuition told Li Xiangjun that the Holy Master's respect for her came from the bottom of his heart.
Of course Chongzhen's respect for Li Xiangjun came from the bottom of his heart, and he was afraid of being rude to the beautiful lady.
Although it seems quite satisfying for the Overlord to take advantage of his power and do whatever he wants, it is just low-level fun after all and is too low for the Emperor players.
At that moment, Chongzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Li Qing, don't listen to this old guy Gao Qiqian's nonsense..."
However, before Chongzhen could finish speaking, Li Xiangjun rushed to say: "Your Majesty, I am willing to sleep with you."
"Ah?" Chongzhen said ah and then froze there, not knowing how to answer Li Xiangjun's words.
It seems quite shameless to tell Li Xiangjun that you should stay and take care of her. But if you tell her that I won't force you to go back, it is really hypocritical. After all, he is thinking about it terribly now.
Li Xiangjun thought to himself and said: "I am willing to sleep with you, and I am also willing to give up my dream of becoming a female general, but can your Majesty please stop locking me in the palace and let me continue to sing in the troupe?"
"Ahem, this..." Chongzhen was a little unhappy.
If Li Xiangjun is really hired, she will definitely not be able to sing in operas.
Not only the ministers in the court would not agree, but he was also unwilling.
Seeing Chongzhen like this, Li Xiangjun knew that there was no hope of staying in the troupe to sing.
"Okay, you don't have to sing opera, but can your Majesty take me with you when you go out?" Li Xiangjun frowned lightly, and her beautiful eyes were slightly red, looking particularly pitiful. "Your Majesty does not need to give me the title of concubine, only the title of concubine.
It's okay to be a palace maid or a maid, as long as you don't stay locked up in the palace all the time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ahem, that..." Chongzhen looked around and spoke to him.
Li Xiangjun's heart sinks as soon as he is in love, isn't this okay?
But suddenly she heard Chongzhen say to her: "Actually, you can continue to be a general."
It is definitely not allowed for a concubine to be an actress and sing opera, but there seems to be no explicit rule against being a military commander.
Moreover, there are no precedents in history for concubines to lead armies. Fuhao was even the queen of Shang King Wuding, the Queen Mother of Liang in Xixia, the former Queen Mao of Qin, and Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty all led armies as women.
As long as we can find examples in history, we are not afraid of those censors and officials acting as monsters.
And rather than leaving his concubines in the palace, Chongzhen was more willing to take them with him.
Chongzhen is very clear about his future plans. He will probably spend very little time in the palace in his life. Rather than staying in the palace and living a peaceful life, he prefers to make troubles, especially leading his troops to fight everywhere.
All in all, he would rather expand his territory than stay in the palace and scheming.
Therefore, it is necessary for Li Xiangjun to continue to be a general so that he can keep her by his side.
Hearing Chongzhen's words, Li Xiangjun was inexplicably surprised: "Your Majesty, do you take these words seriously?"
"You have no lies." Chongzhen said with a smile, "Have I ever told a lie?"
"Then, then..." Li Xiangjun's pretty face slowly turned red.
Seeing this, Chongzhen couldn't bear it anymore.
Come here, you!
…
Outside the cabin, Du Yinxi walked towards his apartment with a frown.
"Du Xian? Du Xian!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Looking back, it turned out to be Jin Xuan, the doctor of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War and the temporary photo-shooter to assist in the suppression of Xuzhou.
"It's Mr. Jin." Du Yinxi bowed to Jin Xuan and asked, "There is something, have you heard about it?"
"What's the matter?" Jin Xuan said in surprise, "Do Xian attaches such great importance to it, it must be no small matter."
Du Yinxi said: "It's a small matter, but it's not a trivial matter either."
Jin Xuan smiled and said, "What's going on? It's so embarrassing that even the official is confused."
Du Yinxi whispered: "The Holy Lord just summoned General Li Shen to go."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Jin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Eating and sex are important, and the Holy Spirit is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period. Isn't it human nature to invite people to sleep with you? This matter is not trivial."
Du Yinxi said: "The problem is that the one your Majesty summoned is General Li."
"Isn't this quite normal?" Jin Xuan said, "It would be troublesome if he summoned General Wang Shen or General Cao."
"Hey, that's not what I meant." Du Yinxi said, "What I meant was that General Li's status is not suitable."
"She's just a concubine, not even a concubine, so what's her status?" Jin Xuan shook his head and said, "Even if she gives birth to a prince, she is not a legitimate son, and it is impossible to threaten the prince's status."
"That's true." Du Yinxi was relieved immediately.
"At least so far, the prince's status is rock solid."
"Even King Ding and King Yong can't be shaken, let alone other princes?"
"So, Do Heon, you have nothing to worry about." Jin Xuan said with a smile.
"Hey, don't I still have the status of a censor?" Du Yinxi laughed at himself, "It's your responsibility, don't dare to ignore it."
"Speaking of the censor, I'm more worried about one of your colleagues, Du Xian." Jin Xuan's face gradually became serious, "The censor of Zuo Qian from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Is this what you're talking about?" Du Yinxi's face also darkened.
Zuo Guangxian is now considered a celebrity, and his reputation is as good as that of his elder brother Zuo Guangdou.
This also shows that the rumors are true. The imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to become famous quickly, and quarreling and scolding the emperor was the shortcut to Zhongnan. Hai Rui scolded Jiajing to become famous in one battle, and Zuo Guangxian became famous overnight after he angrily criticized Chongzhen.
But in Du Yinxi's heart, Zuo Guangxian was absolutely incomparable to Hai Rui.
Hai Rui is a true critic and capable minister, but who is Zuo Guangxian? He is a lackey in the Zaifu family.
"That's exactly the person." Jin Xuan nodded, "Zuo Guang first reviewed the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I don't know how it turned out?"
"There is no need to worry about this matter." Du Yinxi waved his hand and said, "The deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ma Mingluan, has a good official reputation. I believe he will not reach out and give others a hand."
"Do Xian, are you really Hutu, or are you pretending to be Hutu?"
Jin Xuan shook his head and said: "This matter is not a matter of whether Deputy Chief Ma can reach out or not. If Zuo Guangxian really wants to find something to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will be able to do so."
"Deputy Chief Ma can be honest and self-responsible, but what about the staff below?"
"Even if Ma Mingluan is good at controlling people, and his subordinates can be honest and self-responsible, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also a yamen, so there is no request for help at all? Will the salary and salary be given as much as possible?"
After a pause, Jin Xuan continued: "I heard that the salary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite generous, far better than that of other government agencies, and even the staff of the Six Cabinet Ministries is not as good as it is. Officials in Beijing have long complained about this.
"
"Ah, this?" Du Yinxi frowned, "That's not it, is it? It's not that."
"No," Jin Xuan said, "Do Xian, you think of them too lofty."
After saying this, Jin Xuan continued: "Back then, when they were purging members of the Eunuch, Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu parties, they did everything they could. They heard about things and caught wind of things. These were all the tricks they were good at."
Du Yinxi immediately fell silent. Party strife harms the country, and party strife harms the country!
"Everyone is showing up to the court? Bah!" Jin Xuan shouted in the direction of Nanjing, and then cursed, "They are all stupid!"
Du Yinxi thought for a while and then said: "I still don't think it is the case. The war in Xuzhou is currently going on. If they provoke party strife at this time, they will only harm the country and the people, and cause endless harm."
"That's what I'm worried about." Jin Xuan said in a deep voice, "Right now, Xuzhou City is surrounded by slaves and is almost completely cut off from the outside world. King Yong is still young, so all matters in the court are not controlled by him.
Seniors can decide with just one word? It’s hard to say that these people will not undergo the Lingwu Revolution of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Lingwu changes?" Du Yinxi's expression suddenly changed, "They don't dare to stop?"
"Why don't you dare?" Jin Xuan snorted coldly, "Did Du Xian forget the Jizhou mutiny in the 23rd year of Wanli?"
Du Yinxi immediately fell silent. The Jizhou mutiny that occurred in the 23rd year of Wanli could be called a shame to the Ming Dynasty. In order to deny the Zhejiang soldiers' pay, silver and rewards, the Gonggun princes in the court actually ordered the general soldiers of Jizhen.
Wang Bao shot 3,700 unarmed Zhejiang soldiers to death at the main campus in Jizhen, and later accused the Zhejiang soldiers of intending to rebel.
"They can do such crazy things, so why wouldn't they dare?"
Speaking of this meal, Jin Xuan said: "What's more, he is not a fool. He must also be able to see that the Holy One will never be satisfied with the equalization of land in Guide. When the north is pacified, the Holy One will inevitably initiate equalization in the south of the Yangtze River.
Tian, the ancients said that cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents, so the other generation will have more reason to launch the Lingwu Revolution!"
"This shouldn't happen." Du Yinxi shook his head repeatedly.
"Is it possible that the officials in the court are so ignorant of the overall situation?"
"I hope my worries are unnecessary." Jin Xuan said solemnly, "If not, Xuzhou will be in danger, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger, and our Han family's clothes and ancestral temples will be in danger."
"Not that much." Du Yinxi shook his head repeatedly.
"The Dukes of Gungun in the DPRK will definitely not do this."
