Because Ding Yi is away, there is only one young lady, Ding Baiying, in the house, and there are not many servants and maids.
When Su Mingzhe entered the gate, everyone knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.
"Everyone get up!"
Su Mingzhe waved his hand, noticed that Ding Baiying was not there, and asked a handsome young man at the front:
"Is your lady still in the martial arts arena?"
The handsome young man quickly clasped his fists and replied:
"yes."
Su Mingzhe motioned to lead the way and asked with a smile:
"I remember your name is Ding Xian, right?"
"Yes, the last general Ding Xian, the Duke of Yue is my foster father!"
Ding Xian, originally the stepson of Ding Yi, was teased by his senior brother "Run Jushi" Ding Xiu in "Xiu Chun Dao".
Now that the Qi family army has not withered and been disbanded like in history, Ding Xian naturally does not have to hide his identity and join the Jinyi Guard.
Su Mingzhe asked curiously:
"I remember that you are also a member of the Qi Family Army. Why didn't you go to Guangdong Province with you?"
Ding Xian's face turned red, he cupped his fists and responded:
"Mojiang has suffered from lung disease since he was a child, and his adoptive father left me to recuperate in Jinling."
"pulmonary disease?"
Su Mingzhe glanced at him in surprise:
“Can’t the Heaven-Building Pill also cure it?”
After the army returned to Beijing last year, Su Mingzhe rewarded Qi Jiajun with many pills.
Among them, there are five hundred Huitian Pills.
Let alone lung disease, even if all the internal organs are diseased, they should be cured.
Ding Xian quickly explained:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the general's lung disease has been cured long ago, but my adoptive father was worried that I would follow him to Guangdong Province and my condition would relapse, so he allowed me to continue to stay in Jinling."
"So that's it."
Su Mingzhe and Ding Xian chatted and came to the backyard martial arts field.
Ding Baiying was dressed in a white robe and was wielding a long-handled sword on the martial arts field.
When Su Mingzhe gave her the palace last year, he promised to let her enter the royal treasury and choose martial arts secrets at will.
Ding Baiying entered the palace and walked around the royal treasury, and finally selected a copy of the "Nine Yin Manual", which he wanted to give to his father, Ding Yi.
As for herself, her favorite technique to practice is still [Qi Family Sword Technique].
[Qijia Sword Technique], also known as [Xinyou Sword Technique], requires both hands to hold the sword.
Breaking it down further, there are fifteen postures including starting posture, defensive posture, counterattack posture, sword raising posture, back attack posture, continuous slashing posture, and knife closing posture.
Every move, every style is extremely concise and to the point.
Pay attention to suppressing with the blade and destroying the enemy with the tip.
Although Ding Baiying was practicing alone, in front of her eyes, there was an imaginary enemy constantly fighting with her.
"Huh...hiss...sh...moo...buzz..."
Strange sounds keep coming from Ding Baiying. If you listen carefully, they sound a bit like tigers roaring and leopards roaring, and thunder thundering.
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. I didn't expect Miss Ding to practice physical skills to the realm of transformation."
As a martial artist, Ding Baiying would keep an eye on all directions even when practicing martial arts. The moment Su Mingzhe entered the courtyard, she noticed it.
However, she still followed her usual habit and practiced for a full hour before stopping.
"Miss Ding, come here and have a rest."
"Your Majesty, why are you here again?"
Ding Baiying did not welcome the arrival of men at all.
Her ambition is to fight on the battlefield, not to enter the harem and be a decoration for a certain man. She can play with it when she has time. When she has no time, she can only leave it to gather dust in some palace.
That kind of life is bleak and has no meaning at all.
Listening to the woman's cold questions, Su Mingzhe also knew the reason. In order not to be left in the cold, he had to pick up some political issues that the woman was interested in and talk about them.
Since the Northern Expedition put down the Jurchen Rebellion last year, Su Mingzhe has initially stabilized domestic public opinion.
All kinds of reforms are speeding up.
After farmers were freed from the constraints of Ding tax and field tax, they basically worked hard to open up wasteland. Grain production in Jiangnan and other places increased sharply.
Droughts, locust plagues, floods, and snowstorms were somewhat frequent in the north, but Su Mingzhe kept asking local governments to organize people to migrate.
After several years of operation, the disaster victims and refugees in the north were all guided to migrate south.
After these people went south, in addition to helping southern landlords farm their land, a large number of farmers were transformed into workers.
Today, more than a dozen cities in the Yangtze River Delta, including Zhenjiang, Songjiang, and Yuhang, have established industrial zones.
In addition, Su Mingzhe also established foreign trade shipping companies in more than a dozen coastal and riverside cities such as Songjiang, Hangzhou, and Suzhou.
As the trade volume of the Shipping Department increases, the treasury is no longer empty.
Listening to the man explaining political affairs, Ding Baiying would ask questions about those he was interested in. But he would not even bother to talk to those he was not interested in.
In a blink of an eye, the sun sets in the west.
Seeing that Ding Baiying had no intention of leaving any food.
Su Mingzhe could only stand up and say goodbye.
When he returned to the palace, the eunuch chief Wang An reported that Ren Yingying invited Su Mingzhe to rest at her place.
Su Mingzhe had already expected this.
Let Woxing, the sixth man, do things as he pleases, unscrupulously, and not caring about his own life or death.
As his daughter, Ren Yingying had to worry about him.
Su Mingzhe rushed to Changming Palace where Ren Yingying lived.
They saw that Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang had already taken a bath. They were wrapped in light gauze and their graceful figures were looming.
Although Su Mingzhe had been enjoying it for several nights, his heartbeat was still racing when he saw him now:
"Two beauties, have you had dinner?"
"Your Majesty, haven't you had your meal yet?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue!
Ren Yingying quickly ordered the eunuch of Changming Palace to prepare dinner.
Su Mingzhe sat directly on the main seat, and then motioned for the two women to sit on either side of him.
This woman is still cute and well-behaved.
After holding the two beauties in his arms and playing with them for a while, Su Mingzhe was satisfied and then asked with a smile:
"My beloved concubine, are you here to see me, or is it because of your father's affairs?"
"Um."
Ren Yingying did not dare to hide it. She first apologized for her father and then begged:
"Your Majesty, my father is already old. I don't expect him to continue to be in charge of the Sun and Moon Sect. If I just let him stay in Jinling City, he will be bored to death..."
"So, you want to find something for your father to do?"
Su Mingzhe frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Well, people like your father pursue nothing more than two things. One is supreme power, and the other is magical power that reaches all the heavens and the earth! If you pass [Xiao Wuxiang Kung] to your father, I think, with your father His talent is enough to keep him quiet for a few years! In a few years, I will arrange a new job for him, and I will definitely not let him get bored!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ren Yingying didn't expect the man to be so easy to talk to. After thanking him, she felt a little more sincerely grateful to the man.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe looked at the two women on the left and right with tired faces, feeling both proud and relieved.
With such little ability, they dared to take the initiative last night. I don’t know who gave them the courage.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Spring Festival in the third year of Dazheng calendar.
All nations come to court.
Su Mingzhe didn't care about this.
The vassal state is the most annoying.
If they are allowed to exist for another two years, or at most five years in the Great Zhengli Period, Su Mingzhe will wipe them all out.
It's March in the blink of an eye.
Ding Yi returned to Beijing to report on his work and attended Ding Baiying's canonization ceremony.
Logically speaking, the canonization of a concubine should not be such a big event.
However, Ding Baiying's father is the head coach of Qi Jiajun, Ding Yi, the Duke of Yue, and has a distinguished status.
Su Mingzhe insisted on giving Ding Baiying this grace, and others had nothing to say.
Zhou Miaotong, as the female officer next to the queen, stood with her sister on the Golden Palace, admiringly watching Ding Baiying dressed in fine clothes, slowly coming to the steps of the jade under the gaze of everyone:
"I don't know when the emperor will make me a concubine?"
