Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 159 Concubine Qi of the Zhou Dynasty An Eyeliner Huang Xing's An Undercover Agent

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was determined and refused to give in, the ministers present no longer tried to persuade him.

After all, this is a matter between the Supreme Emperor and the new emperor, and the ministers do not want to get too involved.

Zhu Qizhen saw that the ministers were silent, so he asked Li Shi: "Li Aiqing, do I have to issue an edict to punish myself when I return to the city? Did the new king clearly mention it?"

Li Shi shook his head when he heard the words: "My Majesty, the new emperor did not say so clearly. It is just the words of my family to issue an imperial edict, but I still insist that your majesty should give an explanation to the people of the world."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "Okay, I got it, I will think about it, you go back and report to your orders."

After dismissing these uninterested ministers, Zhu Qizhen, accompanied by Zuo Sile Jinrong, Secretary of the Jiaofang, and Xing'an, the admiral of the East Factory, came to the newly built tent next to him, and planned to choose two women to vent his anger .

As soon as he entered the felt tent, Zhu Qizhen was dumbfounded. He saw twenty or thirty women kneeling neatly on the carpet.There are four nobles at the front, and eight new talents in the back two rows, which is normal.

In the three rows behind, there were five women kneeling in each row. They were all naked, with only a light veil covering their faces. The beautiful scenery made people's blood rush.

Although Zhu Qizhen is the son of heaven, he has been in power for 14 years, but he has never been extravagant; although there are many concubines, but when he was in power, they were all well-behaved and did not engage in any tricks.

Xing'an on the side just entered the felt tent, standing beside Zhu Qizhen, neither entering nor retreating.Although the emperor didn't shy away from the eunuchs, it was a very private matter, even if he felt embarrassed to watch it, the emperor might not be willing to have someone watching.

Anyway, if it was Zhu Qiyu, she would never let others look at her woman, not even an eunuch.However, Zhu Qizhen didn't pay much attention to these things. Instead, he noticed that there was one person missing in the account, so he asked Jin Rong:

"Didn't the queen send twelve concubines, plus the previous four, a total of sixteen. Why is there one less now?"

Jin Rong heard the words and replied: "Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and you really can't hide anything from your Majesty. It is a little girl named Ling'er, only 14 years old. Although she is a prostitute of the Jiaofang Division, she has not yet bloomed. Come to give His Majesty a taste.

It's just that she didn't expect that after Miss Ling'er came, she suddenly didn't want to serve her bed, so she begged Yuan Bin for help.Yuan Bin actually refused to let Linger come to sleep on the grounds that Linger was a concubine given to him by the queen. "

Zhu Qizhen was annoyed when he heard the words, so he immediately ordered Xing'an to summon the two of them in person.And Zhu Qizhen himself picked and picked among the fifteen concubines, and finally lifted the veils of two of them, and brought them back to his tent to enjoy.

Xing'an received the edict and brought the two of them here not long after.

According to Zhu Qizhen's original intention, it would be fine to teach the two of them a lesson.Yuan Bin likes a mere little girl, so it's not impossible to give it to him.

But after seeing Ling'er, the top-notch little stunner, Zhu Qizhen changed his mind instantly.

It can only be said that the tacit cooperation between Queen Zhou and Princess Qi has reached a seamless level. One is familiar with Zhu Qizhen's personality and preferences, and the other understands the psychology and desires of men.Therefore, among a dozen or so mature women, such a young girl with a beautiful face and a stubborn personality was mixed in, which successfully aroused Zhu Qizhen's desire to conquer.

So Zhu Qizhen said with a smile to Yuan Bin: "Yuan Aiqing, although you concubines are said to be given to you by the queen in name, they are actually sent for my enjoyment. This Linger girl is very close to my eyes, I left it.

If you don't think it's right, I don't want the other three concubines that the queen gave you, so I will really give them to you. "

Yuan Bin shook his head, expressing his unwillingness to compromise.

Surprisingly, Zhu Qizhen did not impose any punishment, but ordered Yuan Bin not to touch Miss Linger, and then sent the two of them away.

Even Xing'an and Jin Rong who were on the side couldn't figure it out.

Zhu Qizhen took Xing'an to a place where there was no one outside the tent, and explained the secret mission to Xing'an alone.Zhu Qizhen is not really stupid, he also knows to put people around Xinjun.

Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, brothers in need, started sending undercover agents to each other, and the next step is to see which one is more clever and can successfully undercover.

Xing'an is now the No. [-] figure in the Supervisor of Rituals, in charge of the East Factory. Zhu Qizhen ordered Xing'an to rely on the new king no matter what means he uses, and to gain the trust of the new king, so that one day he will launch a fatal attack on his younger brother. one strike.

In real history, Zhu Qizhen arranged it like this, and Xing'an did the same.However, Jingtai was really fooled, and was played around by Xing'an, and finally played the trick of seizing the door.

So when the truth of Xing'an's undercover identity came to light, the officials were furious and demanded that Xing'an be brought to justice.It's a pity that it was too late, and Jingtai and his trusted ministers were played to death like this.

But history is history, and now is now.Zhu Qiyu is not so easy to deceive. At this time, he is squatting in the warehouse with his favorite concubines, directing his personal guards to load and transport rare treasures out of the car.

While looking at the treasure, Zhu Qiyu praised: "It's still the princess who is smart. Taking the opportunity of fundraising, she sold these useless scraps of copper and exchanged them for white money. This time I made a lot of money, which is enough for me. Been squandering for months."

Hearing her husband describe these treasures as scrap metal, all the concubines present laughed.

Zhu Qiyu only likes simple and pure treasures such as beautiful jade, jadeite, agate, colored glaze, etc.As for the gold and silver artifacts in the treasury, lacquerware, wood carvings and the like, no matter how precious they are in the eyes of the world, Zhu Qiyu would not look at them all, so he ordered them to be moved away, sent to Jietianlou, and auctioned off to those people at the dinner party. The rich and powerful in the capital.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was about to sell these treasures like a swindle, Lin Xiangyu couldn't help persuading: "Husband, please take it easy. Although those rich and powerful people are stupid and have a lot of money, they can't resist throwing out hundreds of treasures like my husband."

"Okay, okay, I feel annoyed when I look at these things, anyway, you can deal with all these things if you have the chance. Change them into silver and hold them in your hand, and you can send money to your cronies at any time.

Hey, I want to give the ministers a long salary, and I want to give the people of the whole country tax-free and corvee-free for one year, and the money has not been settled yet. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "As a woman of your husband, it seems a bit too much to say that you deserve it. But you made such a big promise all of a sudden, it's really self-inflicted trouble."

"Hey, it's not easy for the common people. Even if I suffer a little, I still have to give the common people some time to breathe. You don't know that the south has been completely destroyed by the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties.

Now there are rebels everywhere in the south. Except for Nanzhili, there is almost no province that is completely peaceful.

Beijing is too far away from the south, and the negative impact of Emperor Taizong's relocation to Beijing is gradually emerging, and the south has begun to get out of control.Look at it, after another hundred or eighty years, the South will no longer be able to collect taxes.

And the north is not much better than the south, there is a pot of rotten porridge everywhere, do you say that there is no reform?
The problem now is that it is difficult to recuperate and use troops abroad.The two are very contradictory, but neither will work. "
