In order to protect his wife and children, Su Mingzhe went to great lengths to live in the palace.
More than a dozen concubines from the harem felt grateful for the men's hard work. After nightfall, they took the initiative to sing and dance to comfort the men.
Su Mingzhe couldn't refuse the kindness of these concubines, so he could only agree half-heartedly.
I just don’t know if Emperor Shenzong would jump out of the coffin if he knew about it.
After the storm has passed.
The two most beautiful concubines stayed to sleep with him.
One is the 22-year-old concubine Ju, and the other is the 26-year-old concubine.
"It turns out that the feeling of being a powerful minister is more satisfying than being an emperor!"
Su Mingzhe was lying on the dragon bed, holding the fair and delicate concubine Ju in his left hand, and the charming and playful concubine in his right hand, feeling extremely happy.
The next day, Su Mingzhe felt refreshed. He got up from the dragon bed and asked the two women to get dressed quickly, preparing to wait for the court meeting to end and then follow him back to the Prince Consort's Mansion outside.
The two women did not dare to resist.
The maids and eunuchs waiting around were even more afraid to say a word.
Today, Su Mingzhe is the true emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Walking in the Forbidden City, feeling the fear and fear of others, Su Mingzhe had the urge to laugh to the sky.
No wonder some actors are terribly awkward when playing good guys, but when they play bad guys, their acting skills immediately soar to the sky.
This is not acting at all, he is clearly acting in his true colors!
Had a court meeting.
Su Mingzhe took the dragon chariot given by the emperor and left the palace with the two most beautiful concubines.
No one dares to check, no one dares to stop.
Su Mingzhe was lying on the dragon chariot. He felt that the dragon chariot of the Ming Dynasty was much more luxurious and comfortable than the dragon chariot of the Song Dynasty.
Not only are there six horses pulling it, but the inside and outside of the carriage are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and are hung with gold, silver, and jade articles, making it extremely luxurious.
If I had sat in this extravagant and gorgeous dragon chariot during the Song Dynasty, there would have been some strong-willed officials who would have scolded the emperor for his extravagant use.
All the way back to the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Su Mingzhe got out of the carriage with his two beautiful concubines in his arms. When he saw the three girls coming out to greet them, he quickly helped them up:
"How many times have I told you, how can a family come up with so many rules?"
Tian Qingtong looked at the women on the left and right sides of the man, with a flash of surprise in his eyes:
"Master, these two are..."
"Oh, they are the maids given to me by the princess."
Su Mingzhe had to cover it up a bit and made up a random reason.
As for the bright yellow patterns on the phoenix robes of these two women, they were clearly used as tributes only by superior royal personnel, and were completely ignored by Su Mingzhe.
"The princess wants to take care of the emperor and doesn't have time to accompany me, so let them stay with me and take care of me. You won't be jealous, right?"
"How could that happen?"
Even if Tian Qingtong is jealous, she doesn't dare to say it.
As the man's status became higher and higher, Tian Qingtong and the three women began to create pressure on themselves when they faced him.
A group of five women accompanied Su Mingzhe into the hall.
Tian Qingtong took out a piece of rice paper and an account book and handed them over:
"Sir, this is the list of officials who have come to deliver gifts in the past few days, as well as their gift lists."
Ever since the death of Emperor Wanli, Su Mingzhe took the princess into the palace to 'protect her', and there has been an endless stream of people coming to the Prince Consort's Mansion to visit and give gifts.
"Has everything been put into storage?"
Su Mingzhe is not interested in these. After all, time is on his side.
The longer time goes on, the more civil and military officials he controls.
If anyone wants to object, that is just wishful thinking.
I glanced at the list and saw that more than half of the courtiers had given gifts.
Just then.
The housekeeper came to report: "Sir, Jin Yiwei Luo Sigong would like to see you."
"Let him in."
Among the first ministers Su Mingzhe conquered was Luo Sigong.
Now that several years have passed, Luo Sigong has long been his loyal confidant.
When the women saw that the man was about to receive guests, they hurried back to the backyard.
Not long after, Luo Sigong walked in vigorously.
Luo Sigong is over fifty this year, but every move he makes has a military demeanor. As soon as he enters the door, he performs a military salute:
"I humbly pay my respects to the Duke!"
"Forgive me, Lao Luo. If you don't stay at the Imperial Guard at this time, why did you come to see me?"
Su Mingzhe needs Luo Sigong to help him monitor the government and the public, not to flatter him.
"My lord, this is the recent list of ministers from the DPRK and China!"
Luo Sigong was gentle and considerate. He knew what Su Mingzhe wanted, so he bent over and handed the list to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe opened it and took a look, and it turned out that it was those smelly and tough Donglin Party members who were causing trouble.
Although Su Mingzhe's 'Mind Capturing Technique' is a powerful weapon, there are always a few stones with strong willpower. No matter how many times he uses the 'Mind Capturing Technique', he cannot change his opponent's idea of 'loyalty to the emperor and serving the country'.
Now, these people have gathered together, and they actually want to do the "brother eventually succeeds the younger brother" trick and let the notorious King Lu ascend the throne.
The problem is, this King Lu has been addicted to wine and sex all year round, and he will probably die in a year or two.
Su Mingzhe sighed and returned the list to Luo Sigong:
"Master Luo, I heard that King Lu has not been in good health. Why don't you send someone to check on him?"
"I understand!"
When Luo Sigong saw that Su Mingzhe only mentioned King Lu and did not mention these troublemaking ministers, he immediately understood what to do.
One month later.
The magistrate of Weihui County, where King Lu was located, suddenly reported:
King Lu, who liked taking pills and doing sports with many people, suddenly died immediately.
King Lu's only son was overly grieved and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. It seems that this happened in the past few days.
When the news reached the capital, the Donglin Party, which was plotting, immediately felt "sorrowful for its misfortune and angry for its inability to fight."
You must know that Emperor Wanli, also known as Shenzong, died because he had no heirs. The only person with status and qualifications to ascend the throne was King Lu.
It's fine now, King Lu is gone, and Prince Lu doesn't seem to live long either.
The Donglin Party is looking for a new target again.
The undercover agent Su Mingzhe had roped in, based on the idea of 'treating illnesses and saving lives', advised several colleagues:
"Everyone, Mu Zong only has two heirs, the late emperor and Prince Lu. Now that Prince Lu is dead, who else can we look for?"
The stubborn Donglin Party snorted:
"If Mu Zong's heirs are gone, then look for Shi Zong!"
The undercover agent couldn't help but smile after hearing this:
"Shizong also only had two adult children, except Mu Zong, and that was King Jing."
Shizong was Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing's two heirs were Mu Zong and King Jing.
King Jing, on the other hand, died earlier than Mu Zong.
Moreover, King Jing has not left any heirs.
"Everyone, if not, forget it!"
When several Donglin Party members heard that the Jiajing lineage was actually dead, their faces darkened.
Emperor Jiajing searched further and found that Emperor Wuzong Zhengde had no heirs.
There are no heirs, so forget about it.
Following Wuzong, there was Xiaozong, who had only one son.
Well, I only have one son, and he is still that piece of shit like Zhengde.
Keep searching upwards.
Above Xiaozong, there is Xianzong who likes to pamper the "nanny".
Xianzong had many heirs, and Emperor Jiajing's father was Xingwang, Xianzong's fourth son.
When the undercover agent saw that everyone had traced their targets back to the heirs of Xianzong, he immediately raised another question:
"The descendants of Xianzong and Shenzong have both entered the fifth server, right?"
After Xianzong came Xiaozong, after Xiaozong came Wuzong, after Wuzong came Shizong, after Shizong came Mu Zong, and after Mu Zong came Shenzong.
There were four emperors between Xianzong and Shenzong.
Even if Wuzong and Shizong were cousins, they were still four generations away.
Letting the descendants of Xianzong take over the throne of Shenzong seems less reliable than the son of Princess Shouning.
Anyway, Princess Shouning's son has been adopted by the prince. His surname is Zhu, not Su.
