Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 679: The Emperor is relaxing at home and enjoying the unprotected Ming army’s landing
Upon hearing this question, Zhu Qiyu began to cover his head with his hands.When Cheng Jing entered the Prince's Mansion as an official, he was sent by Zhu Qizhen.

Suspicious of him, he will appear to be unemotional; reuse him, but he will not die in service.

Cheng Jing in history also recommended the two bastards Shi Heng and Xing An to Jingtai.In the end, Jingtai was tricked to death by these two bastards, both internally and externally.

The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world.

To be an emperor, you must especially have a spirit of skepticism. You would rather believe that something exists than something that does not exist.

Don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you are suspicious. This is the golden rule.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu became a little anxious: "I transferred Cheng Jing from an internal minister back to a civil minister, and gave him the position of minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War; I also devoted myself to cultivating and promoting his son Cheng Kai.

I'm worthy of him, why does he want everything? It's not over yet. "

Qianxue replied: "That Cheng Kai still wants to be a close servant. It doesn't look like he has bad intentions. It's better for us not to give Cheng Jing face."

Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, he can kill me if he wants to, but around Zhu Wenfang, I won't deliberately indulge him even though I know there are hidden dangers.

Well, let Cheng Kai be appointed as Zuo Zanshan, Zuo Chunfang, Zhanshi Mansion, Nanjing, from the sixth rank, which is decent enough.

Let Cheng Kai concurrently serve as the head of the Nanjing Household Department.Both father and son are in Nanjing, which makes it convenient for Cheng Kai to fulfill his filial piety.

I tried my best, but this is all I can do.

In the future, all similar requests will be handled in this way. Beijing Zhanshifu only needs true confidants.The others were thrown to Zhan Shifu in Nanjing. "

While they were talking, Linglong, Miaoyue, and Baguio walked in with breakfast.

Because he was afraid of being scolded, Zhu Qiyu was sitting upright at the coffee table, waiting for breakfast to be served.

Linglong smiled and said: "Today we will eat hot clam soup. Before the two sisters returned to Beijing, they specially sent people to transport clams back from the coast of Shandong.

You may have never eaten this kind of clam before. Now is the time when it is plump, so I brought it back for you to try. "

After that, Linglong showed off two pieces of clam skin in front of Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu only glanced at the clam skin and said with a smile: "You two ladies are interested, but I have seen and eaten these clams before."

Linglong didn't believe it when she heard this: "Nonsense, my husband is dancing like a god again. When have you eaten the clams sent by the imperial family since the slave family entered the house? Although we never eat the clams sent by the imperial court, they are not like this."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "This is called a clam, also called a slippery clam. It is named after its smooth surface and beautiful yellow, brown and black patterns.

This kind of clam is not only very delicious in texture, but also very tender in texture. It is one of the most delicious clams.

Moreover, there is very little sand, the skin is very thick, and it is very difficult to die.That’s why it can be transported from Shandong to the capital, and we can still have a fresh bite.

This kind of clam was listed as a tribute to the palace during the Tang Dynasty. "

Hearing this, Linglong was quite surprised: "My husband actually knows it again. Sister Miaoyue said the same thing. How come you know everything?"

Zhu Qiyu pinched Linglong's chin and smiled: "Do you think that such a good woman can be played by anyone? How can I control you without two brushes?"

After playing a joke, Zhu Qiyu ate it with big mouthfuls. While eating, he praised: "It's delicious, it's delicious. It's been a long time since I've had such delicious clam soup."

Miao Yue looked around at the furnishings in the room, and then looked at the screen on the coffee table. There was a painting on the front and back of the jade screen.The painting on the front is a peach tree with flowers in full bloom.However, Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang were not wearing clothes, they were tied with ropes, and their hands were tied side by side and hung on the peach branches.

In the painting, a pair of beauties look pitiful with pear blossoms in the rain.The reverse side shows Lin Xiangyu leaning on a stone chair. The details are pink, tender, delicate and lifelike.

Miao Yue couldn't help but frowned: "Sister, why are you acting more and more nonsense? And your skin is getting thicker and thicker. You have been a woman for eight years, how can you still be so pink and tender?"

Lin Xiangyu, who was lying on the quilt, smiled and said: "I happen to be naked, why don't you lift the quilt to see if it is as pink as the painting, and verify whether I am lying." Miao Yue shook her head: "I was serious at the time. Why did my sister become like this? Can you please keep your dignity in mind and lead His Majesty to fool around all day long?"

Sure enough, after being scolded again, Zhu Qiyu had to bury his head in his meal and refused to answer any questions.Just out of curiosity, Lin Xiangyu, Ningxiang and the others deliberately put up this screen two days ago. They clearly knew that the two sisters Miao Yue were back, but they still placed it in such a conspicuous position. Wasn't this just to get scolded.

Ningxiang refinished herself again: "Where is this? Last time, my husband specially ordered someone to invite Sister Xi'er to teach us various new skills.

If we couldn't learn, he would beat us. "

After saying that, Ningxiang twisted a silk thread with both hands and stretched it straight, put the thread into her mouth, stirred it with her tongue, and then spit it out:
"You see, Sister Xi'er taught us to use our tongues to tie silk threads. My husband forced us to try it over and over again. If we failed, he would hit us. It took me hundreds of hits to learn how to do it."

Miao Yue and Baguio were dumbfounded. Miao Yue waved her hands repeatedly: "Forget it, stop talking. Let's go back as soon as the disaster in Shandong subsides.

There are still many things to do in Prince Qi's Mansion in Qingzhou. Let's seize the time to make colored glaze and porcelain for His Majesty. "

Ningxiang asked: "How is the disaster situation in Shandong?"

Miao Yue replied: "When we came back, there were floods everywhere. Shandong is completely in trouble. Even if the floods recede, how will the people survive the winter this year and resume farming next year?"

When we came back and passed by Jinan, Shandong's envoy Chen was almost crying. "

Qianxue replied: "The imperial court squeezed out 100 million shi from the Tongzhou warehouse, and we spent 200 million shi from our own funds. The first batch of grain should be shipped to Jinan in four or five days.

Three million stones of grain should be enough for the people to survive this year.In another two months, food from Annan will be shipped.

Now I am afraid that something will happen in the past month. "

Miao Yue nodded: "Then I'm relieved. It doesn't matter what happens, as long as we can get through this year and next two years. We can't be idle during this time in Beijing. What kind of work will you give us?"

Ningxiang replied: "How about you help handle the general affairs of the palace in Changle Palace? You can go to the palace to supervise the imperial city with Zhaoyun Muyu. You can also go to Xishan Hongyun Palace to look after the prince and princess; or you can serve our husbands for us. Okay, we just need a rest."

Miao Yue nodded: "We don't want to deal with your messy things. Let's go to Hongyun Palace to take care of the children."

"Okay, please."

The few chatted for a while, and then Miao Yue and Baguio said goodbye and left.

Seeing the two people walking away, Zhu Qiyu let out a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, the other five concubines also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when Zhu Qiyu was about to ask, Ningxiang explained: "Finally, I scared people away. Husband, don't mind. If we didn't make our daily life a bit absurd just now, they still intend to stay."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I understand, why are they becoming more and more Confucian? They came from the same path as Liu Chang's wife.

No wonder Liu Chang always wants Ningxiang to help him mediate family affairs. Looking at it this way, Liu Chang is being managed by a moral female wife every day. It is really pitiful. I have begun to sympathize with him. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. After eating the clam soup, let's go hiking."

……

There was nothing to say for more than ten days, but it was said that on September 21, the Daming Navy, which had been drifting on the sea for more than 2000 miles, finally arrived in Kaga.

The real difficulty was ocean navigation, but when it came to landing, it was extremely simple, which surprised everyone.

The Japanese did not expect that anyone could land here from such a far away place. Indeed, no troops had ever landed here since recorded history, so there was no one to fortify it at all.

Besides, the flat coastline in the Kaga and Echizen areas is [-] miles long. The Japanese army was either fighting a civil war or wasting away in the war to aid Korea. How to set up defenses was a difficult task.
