If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 71 The talented Liu Rushi and the famous actress Chen Yuanyuan (5000 words long chapter)
into the night.

Ding Xiu lay on the bed and subconsciously called up the golden finger interface:

Name: Ding Xiu

Life: 9/9
Potential development degree: 9.3%
Current plane: Xiuchundao world
World Progress: 65%
The potential development rate has increased by 0.2, which may seem inconspicuous, but to Ding Xiu, it feels very obvious. After all, it is an improvement in all attributes from the inside out.

Including some special abilities, such as night vision, senses, etc.

The world's progress has increased to 65%. Before Ding Xiu officially ascended the throne, the world's progress was only 35%. As soon as he ascended the throne, the world's progress increased by 30%.

It seems that this is the right path.

As for how to increase it to 100%, Ding Xiu already has a plan in mind.

Next, he will go on a personal expedition to completely eliminate Jiannu.

It seems to be an unrealistic thing, after all, the Ming Dynasty has not been able to eliminate the Jiannu for so many years, but it has continued to lose battles.

But Ding Xiu has his own plan, and he has already implemented it secretly.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Queen Zhang's gentle body leaned over, and she lay in Ding Xiu's arms like a bird.

Nowadays, her mentality has undergone some subtle changes. After all, in the past, she and Ding Xiu had no right to be together, and they could only do it secretly.

Now she and Ding Xiu have sacrificed to heaven and earth, and were officially canonized as the first queen of the Daqian Dynasty.

No matter what people outside think of her, as long as Ding Xiu cares about her, that's enough.

Ding Xiu turned his head, hugged the nervous queen with his back and said with a smile: "Of course I am thinking of my beauty."

After saying that, he leaned over and caught a pair of warm red lips.

Another busy night.

The next morning, Ding Xiu got up in high spirits, but Queen Zhang stayed in bed for a long time and refused to get up.

A few days later, the prefect of Songjiang came to see him.

The Songjiang magistrate's name was Luo Xian, and he was one of the earlier officials Lu Jianxing attracted in Jiangnan.

Previously, Luo Xian was a fellow magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture. When Ding Xiu killed the Songjiang magistrate when he suppressed the Japanese pirates, Luo Xian made a mistake and was promoted to Songjiang magistrate.

Now that Ding Xiu has ascended the throne as emperor, Luo Xian naturally wants to come and flatter him as soon as possible. After all, he also knows that the new dynasty has just been established and it is the time when the court is employing people.

"Wei minister Luo Xian, the prefect of Songjiang, comes to see the emperor."

Ding Xiu raised his hand: "I love you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After seeing the ceremony, Luo Xianshao had to brag about his achievements, such as cleaning up the occupied farmland, organizing the people to resist Japanese pirates, understanding the people's sentiments, fighting against local evil forces, etc.

Although there is a suspicion that Wang Po is selling melons, it sounds like she has done something real.

Ding Xiu nodded slightly: "Well, Aiqing has done a good job. This dynasty has just been established and is full of waste, so Aiqing needs to be more attentive."

Luo Xian held up his hands with a fearful expression and replied: "I will serve my whole life until I die."

When the matter was almost reported, Luo Xian said again: "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and I guess there are no musicians in the palace who are tired of listening to the music.

Therefore, Wei Chen brought a singer this time. She was unparalleled in beauty, good at singing and dancing, and was good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was truly a strange woman. "

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiu couldn't help but his face darkened: "What do you mean, Master Luo?"

Luo Xian was startled and stammered: "Weichen...Weichen just thinks about the emperor..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ding Xiu added, "Did you know that as soon as this example was started, someone would imitate it and make the world think that I am a drunkard and a womanizer?"

Luo Xian secretly complained. He wanted to flatter him, but ended up patting him on the horse's leg?
So, I couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from my forehead and muttered: "Weichen..."

"That's all, Aiqing also has good intentions. Since I brought it, I'll call you up and have a look. However, I won't do the same next time."

"Yes, yes!" Luo Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But secretly thinking in his heart, he said no in one sentence, and said yes in the next sentence. As expected, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

Not long after, a woman in her twenties walked in with light steps.

"Young lady Liu Rushi, please see the Emperor!"

Liu Rushi?
Hearing this name, Ding Xiu couldn't help but be in a daze for a moment.

In his memory, during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in history, eight famous concubines with outstanding talents and talents appeared on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Jinling, and they were hailed as the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" by the world.

The most famous among them is Liu Rushi, the first of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai".

The reason is mainly because of her outstanding talent.

She has written a large number of poems with graceful words, including seven or eight collections of poems including "Wuyin Grass", "Liu Rushi's Poems", "Grass on the Lake", "Child Slips", etc. She also compiled a "Selected Poems of Ancient and Modern Ladies".

Her calligraphy and painting are also quite famous, putting countless talented people to shame.

In later generations, some people even commented on her as a "female heroine" and a "Wen Zongguoshi". Her influence is evident.

Of course, the one who is well known to more people is Chen Yuanyuan.

After all, her life is very legendary, and her entanglements with Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui are unclear and confusing.

At that time, Wu Sangui originally planned to surrender to the rebels, but he heard that his concubine Chen Yuanyuan was kidnapped by the rebels.

"Weeping six armies are all in good condition, and being angry is a beauty", this is what is said.

In anger, Wu Sangui simply surrendered the Qing army and directly let the Qing army enter Shanhaiguan.

Because of this, many people called Chen Yuanyuan a disaster because of her beauty, and even blamed her for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. She was even more unjust than Dou E.

In order to confirm his suspicion, Ding Xiu asked a few questions and finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was indeed the Liu Rushi he knew well.

In fact, Liu Rushi is not her real name.

Her original surname was Yang, but she later changed her surname to Liu, and her nicknames were: Miwujun and Yinglian.

But outside, she is known by the name Liu Rushi.

"That's right..." Ding Xiu nodded with a pleased look on his face: "The Sixth Bureau of the Inner Court is being established, so you will stay and be a female official."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rushi couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

For her, this was a complete surprise.

I thought I would just come to the palace to be a musician, but I didn't expect that I would suddenly become the female palace of Shangyi Bureau.

The Six Shang refers to the six bureaus of the inner court, Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, Shang Shi, Shang Bed, and Shang Gong, which consist of 24 divisions.

The Bureau of Shangyi is similar to the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court, and is mainly responsible for matters such as court etiquette, music, and music.

Luo Xian was naturally also very happy. After all, presenting a beautiful woman... well, presenting talents has merit, and the emperor will definitely not forget him.

Sure enough, Ding Xiu turned his head and said: "Luo Aiqing, when you go back, work hard and make political achievements, I will naturally promote you."

Luo Xian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

That night.

Liu Rushi was cleaning up the room when suddenly a figure walked in.

When Liu Rushi looked back, she couldn't help but look shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet you: "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty!"

Although she is a female official of Shangyi, she is not essentially a court official, but belongs to the inner court. When she sees the emperor, she will naturally call herself a slave.

Ding Xiu smiled and took her soft little hand: "You don't need to be polite, beauty. Come, sit down and have a few drinks with me."

"Ah? This..."

Liu Rushi glanced at the table in embarrassment. There was only a bottle of wine on it, no wine at all.

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared."

Ding Xiu clapped his hands, and two palace maids walked in immediately carrying wine and food.

"From now on, they will stay in Shangyi Bureau, and you will be responsible for taking care of them."

"But Your Majesty, this servant is not very familiar with the etiquette in the palace..."

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, someone will come over to teach you. Now you mainly teach them music, music, calligraphy and painting, etc..."

When the wine was almost drunk, another palace maid brought hot water and poured it into the bathtub.

Liu Rushi understood immediately, and lowered her head shyly, her pretty face became more rosy, her eyes were as beautiful as autumn water, and she was extraordinarily charming.

This reminded Ding Xiu of a poem: The gentleness of the lowered head is like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze.

As soon as the palace maid left, Liu Rushi took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late..."

……

In the morning, the birds chirped.

Liu Rushi lay on the bed with a lazy expression, the warmth still lingering on the pillow, but the man had already gone away.

What a diligent emperor.

I don’t know if he will come again?

After Ding Xiu returned, he immediately summoned Pei Lun and said, "Go to Taohuawu, Suzhou in person. I heard that there is a famous Wuzhong actress named Chen Yuanyuan, who is from Liyuan.

If you find her, restore her status first and then bring her into the palace..."

Now that I have met Liu Rushi, I think I can also find Chen Yuanyuan.Sure enough, Pei Lun lived up to his trust and successfully brought Chen Yuanyuan back to the palace.

At this time, Chen Yuanyuan was in her prime, young and charming, and full of vitality.

In addition, she is very intelligent and has studied in Liyuan for many years. She is outstanding in singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has two talents.

Ding Xiu repeated his old trick and first arranged for Chen Yuanyuan to serve as a female official in the Shangfu Bureau.A few days later, I came to her room again to express my condolences.

When she saw Ding Xiu coming in, Chen Yuanyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage: "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Beauties don't need to be polite."

Ding Xiu happily stepped forward, took Chen Yuanyuan's warm and greasy hands, and sat down at the table together.

Chen Yuanyuan's heart beat rapidly.

"Yuanyuan, are you still used to it after arriving in the palace?"

"Well, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I like this place very much."

"nice! You love it."

Not long after, a palace maid came in carrying hot water...

Chen Yuanyuan's face became even more rosy.

However, she had already prepared in her heart. The emperor specially sent someone to bring her into the palace. Did he just want to hear her sing?

How could Empress Zhang not know what Ding Xiu was thinking?

She fully demonstrated her demeanor as a royal empress and offered to let Ding Xiu canonize Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan and Su Niang as concubines.

Finally, Ding Xiu decreed that Liu Rushi would be consecrated as Concubine Liu, and Chen Yuanyuan would be consecrated as Concubine Li.

But Su Niang did not want to marry into the harem.

Although she and Ding Xiu have been together for a long time, she has always been more active than quiet.

This is the same as Ding Baiying. Neither of them likes to be restrained. They like to make a living outside, accompany Ding Xiu to conquer the country, and be a hero among women.

Therefore, Ding Xiu did not force himself.

This will not affect his relationship with Su Niang and Ding Baiying.

What's more, when the time comes, the two girls will accompany him to conquer Liaodong, eliminate the slaves, and completely solve the hidden dangers outside the customs.

Not long after, good news came.

The troops sent by the Ming Dynasty to quell the chaos in Jiangnan were ambushed halfway by Shen Lian, Lu Hanzhong and their men, as well as an elusive team.

Caught off guard, the Ming army's team was rushed to pieces.

In addition, the terrain was not favorable for the Ming army, and the opponent prepared firearms such as artillery, rockets, and thunderbolts on the hillside, which caused the Ming army to be in chaos and suffer heavy casualties.

In the chaos, the commander-in-chief was captured alive.

Seeing that the situation was over, many Ming troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

The good news came back to Jinling, and all the ministers suddenly realized that they had mistakenly blamed the emperor.

During this period of time, Ding Xiu acted unhurriedly, recruiting palace maidens and concubines, as if he only wanted to enjoy himself.

On the contrary, all the ministers were as anxious as ants in a hot nest.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had already made up his mind, and the surprise attack by surprise troops disrupted the Ming army's attack at a very small cost. It can be called a classic battle example.

On the contrary, when the news was transmitted back to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it sounded like a death knell, causing Chongzhen to faint on the spot in the imperial study.

Up and down the court, people were in panic.

This was not just a matter of losing a battle. In order to quell the chaos in Jiangnan, the imperial court even mobilized part of the army that defended the capital.

Finally, a large army of 15 people was formed... Of course, it was just a so-called force. Squeeze out the water, and it would be good to have half of it.

As a result, he made wedding clothes for his opponent.

As a result, the morale of the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly low and fearful, while the morale of the Daqian Party was high and full of joy.

After the captured Ming army escorted back, Ding Baiying immediately began to mix and distribute the surrendered troops to different teams in proportion to facilitate management.

The army's training plan was discussed by Ding Xiu, Ding Baiying and other generals.

In short, it is quite different from the traditional solution.

In particular, the training methods of special forces are even more strict, and there are relatively independent institutions such as specialized training bases, equipment bureaus, and intelligence offices.

The special forces are mainly in charge of Ding Baiying, assisted by Pei Lun, Shen Lian, and Lu Jianxing. No other department has the right to intervene.

To put it simply, its nature is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, which belongs to the royal family, but it is more mysterious and more powerful than the Jinyiwei.

Next, Emperor Chongzhen learned his lesson and did not dare to send troops easily again, lest he would lose his life and send troops again.

Fortunately, the treasury was still full. While reorganizing the Imperial Guards, they were recruiting troops and horses, intending to follow the example of their predecessors and wait until the troops were strong enough to seize Jiangnan in one fell swoop, averting the humiliation.

Unfortunately, Chongzhen lost his head again.

Of course, he would not admit it, but thought smartly that Jin Yiwei was not a serious minister after all, and that great power would inevitably lead to ambition.

It's better to reuse eunuchs. What bad intentions can eunuchs with little computers have?
As a result, Dongchang returned with force, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties trembled.

After all, everyone knows that these eunuchs have dark and twisted psychology, and they have been suppressed for so long. Now that they have regained power, why should they take crazy revenge?
As expected, as soon as he was entrusted with the important task, Dongchang couldn't wait to show his fangs and bite everywhere.

The first to bear the brunt is the cabinet.

According to Dongchang, the reason why Ding Xiu was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guards in just a few years was because of the secret support of the cabinet and the deception of the emperor.

Including the original rebellion in the imperial mausoleum, it was obviously a play written and performed by Ding Xiu and his party.

Needless to say, the Donglin Party was already in the same situation as the Eunuch Party. Now it suffered a great disaster, and its situation was even more difficult than during the Wei Zhongxian period.

The capital suddenly became turbulent, and it would be no exaggeration to say that it was bloody.

Dongchang learned the lesson from the last failure, and this time he really went to death, finding one person and killing the whole family in order to eradicate the root cause.

As everyone knows, such a cruel approach accelerated the pace of the Ming Dynasty's destruction, and also made Ding Xiu gain a lot of advantages.

First, the Donglin Party in the south of the Yangtze River all share the same hatred and hatred. They were wavering before, but now they are all loyal to Ding Xiu.

At least Ding Xiu is relatively kind.

It's not that Ding Xiu doesn't kill people, it's just that he only kills principal criminals and important accomplices, and generally doesn't engage in implicated crimes, unless the crime is extremely heinous and hated by all the people.

Moreover, Ding Xiu has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Although some people objected to the series of national policies he launched, most people were impressed.

For example, lifting maritime restrictions, building roads, opening canals, building ships, promoting agriculture, revitalizing industry, promoting commerce, etc.

In the DPRK, Mandarin has also begun to be gradually implemented and used as an important part of official assessment.

Otherwise, in the court hall, all the ministers would speak different dialects, which would sound like a headache.

One side is prosperous, the other is rotten and bloody. Anyone with any brain knows how to choose.

In just one year, Daqian's army advanced all the way to the southwest. There were almost no major battles along the way. Officials from various places opened the city gates and surrendered.

Of course, it is inevitable to encounter some uprising teams.However, where are these rabble-rousers’ opponents?Either beat them until they run away, or surrender obediently.

Almost half of the territory of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Shu, and Yunnan has been actually controlled by Daqian.

Even Qilu was basically included in the Daqian territory.

This night, the moon is bright and the wind is clear.

In the courtyard, Ding Xiu was sitting at the stone table, drinking wine and admiring the beauty singing and dancing.

"The willows in the long pavilion are covered with light dust in the morning rain in Weicheng, and the guesthouses are green and the willows are new. I urge you to drink another glass of wine. There is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west..."

Liu Ru is playing the piano, Chen Yuanyuan's cloud sleeves are dancing lightly, and the sound is like an oriole coming out of the valley, singing a song "Three Layers of Yangguan".

When the song ended, Ding Xiu couldn't help but smile while stroking his palms: "Okay, the people are beautiful, the music is beautiful, and the night is beautiful. Concubine Liu, Concubine Li, come, sit down and drink with me."

He rarely calls me, especially in front of people he knows well.

In fact, before Qin Shihuang, even ordinary people used the title "I". However, after Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he chose "I" as his title, so people naturally did not dare to use it indiscriminately.

Later emperors also followed the title "Zhen" and made it exclusive to emperors.

"Yes!"

The two women responded in unison, stepped forward, and sat next to Ding Xiu, one on the left and the other on the right.

Ding Xiu never follows the rules. What kind of ancestral etiquette?He is Emperor Taizu of Daqian, and he has to set the rules of the game.

For example, in matters related to the harem, there are usually special eunuchs or female officials who will serve in the harem, and when the time comes, they will bring a sign for the emperor to read.

But Ding Xiu never changed the name, and he did not set up eunuchs or maids to serve him.

He sleeps wherever he likes.

After drinking, Ding Xiu walked into the palace with two delicate beauties in his arms.

The breeze is coming.

Night Bug murmured.

Another good night.
