Bright Spring

The two met for less than half a stick of incense, and they went straight to the topic.Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu knew very well in his heart that these women only cared about the benefits brought by the emperor's luck and even favor; and he just wanted to find someone to repair the car.The relationship is very simple.

Of course, the service attitude is also quite good. She not only has a plan, but also has awe from the heart.Just from the mentality of entertainment, Zhu Gaoxu is still very satisfied; of course, talking about feelings is a bit funny.

But when Park asked that sentence helplessly, Zhu Gaoxu clearly saw the helplessness in her eyes.Even in this era where men are superior to women, I am afraid that women will be picked and picked like goods, and they will dislike one or the other. It does not feel good instinctively... Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that this kind of innocent woman, with a certain place The mentality of women is similar, but there are differences: Mrs. Park and others are not used to it.

The subtle sadness suddenly spread under the color of this ambiguous relationship.

Zhu Gaoxu actually developed a little compassion, his mentality was indeed different from that of people who were really born in clan and noble families.

"It's getting late, you can stay here overnight." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Mrs. Pu was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised, then she knelt on the big bed, bowed her head and said emotionally: "My concubine, thank you for your love."

"Okay, don't be particular about this bed, lie down and sleep." Zhu Gaoxu said.

He thought to himself: To be rich all over the world is to be happy!I think back when I was an older brother, he was kind to a girl from an ordinary background, but she was still very dissatisfied and could always find faults; now that he has power and wealth, as long as he shows a good face, many girls will be grateful up.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu is not the former emperor Zhu Di after all, he is much more courageous than his father, and his adventurous spirit is not the same.This Pu family obviously has nothing to do with Donggong and Jianwen Yudang, so it shouldn't be a problem to stay overnight.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu asked casually again: "You are in North Korea, and your family is an official?"

The Pu family said: "Returning to the Holy Lord, the Pu family is considered aristocratic in the country, and the family has been leading soldiers and generals for generations."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately became interested in Pu Shi!

In the past, he didn't care about North Korea at all. North Korea was not a big threat. How much interest did he have as a vassal?But when people stand in different positions, what they care about will change immediately!When Zhu Gaoxu became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to understand the situation of neighboring countries; he would not be limited to the Mongolian tribes, which were relatively threatening at this time.

Mrs. Pu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu quietly, and said cautiously: "The concubine's elder brother is called Pu Jingwu, who was originally the commander of the virtuous Lord's guard."

"Who is the virtuous Lord?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Park said: "The granddaughter of King Kanghyeon of North Korea (the founding monarch of North Korea, Li Chenggui, who passed away last year), and the third daughter of King Kangxian's fourth son, King Huaian (Li Fangqian)."

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu habitually made a sound, which was regarded as a response.

Mrs. Pu said a few more words, she hesitated to speak, seemed a little hesitant, and finally said: "The virtuous Lord is more beautiful than the concubine, and she has been a beauty since she was a child. The concubine's elder brother, Pu Jingwu, since childhood, So he quietly swore at home that he would risk his life to protect the virtuous Lord; his greatest wish is to get the Lord and marry him."

Zhu Gaoxu is a very vigilant and intuitive person, probably a skill he has cultivated by leading troops all the year round.On the battlefield at this time, the military information is too unreliable, and the commander must have sensitive intuition, subtle observation, and keen judgment; in order to quickly draw the correct judgment from some vague signs.

At this moment, he immediately thought of a sentence he said just tonight: I like 'noble' women, others can't get them, but I can get them!

Mrs. Pu deliberately mentioned the virtuous Lord her brother wanted but failed to get, is this a routine?

Zhu Gaoxu immediately speculated: This Pu family came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to invite favor from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not only to make his own life better; it is likely to have political|political purposes, at least a family mission.

Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly a little upset.Perhaps he should get used to it. It is difficult for a woman who becomes the emperor to be pure in both love and desire, and it may be related to politics;

However, he is not in the nature of turning his face at any time and completely denying people's temperament.At the moment, he didn't regret letting Mrs. Pu stay behind, he just said calmly: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mrs. Pu replied softly.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu got up, washed and dressed.There are a group of eunuchs and maids on duty waiting, but Mrs. Pu is still helping at the side, like a hostess, very carefully smoothing out the wrinkles on Zhu Gaoxu's robe.Her expression still reveals awe and flattery, but it seems to be completely different from the first time we met last night, as if with a little worship and relief.

Zhu Gaoxu has a wife, this Park's performance seems inappropriate; but it is also difficult for people to be completely rational.Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters.

While preparing, he ordered the eunuch to deliver an edict to the eunuch Hou Xian, asking him to notify the ministers of the temples, ministers of various ministries, and ministers above the marquis to discuss matters at the imperial gate.

Everyone waited for a while, and finally Zhu Gaoxu was fully dressed.He was wearing a yellow dragon robe with five claws and a black gauze cap on his head.In fact, what he hates the most is wearing yellow and other colors, which seem to be work clothes on duty in the streets of later generations, but he is not very obsessed with details such as colors, so he doesn't bother to care about them.

Today Yumen is discussing politics, discussing the disturbance of the Mongolian tribes.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to discuss this matter at first, but he gradually had a long-term plan in his mind.But in the end, I decided to let everyone discuss it, first to show that I respect it, and the ministers have their own opinions; second, the practical and useful routines cannot be done immediately, and there will be no effect in the short term, but the emperor pretended to be anxious and expressed Concerned about the big things that happened not long ago.

If this matter is going to be really useful, the only way is to send a general there and mobilize the frontier troops in the northern military town to fight back; but right now at least wait for the frontier yamen to issue an edict and recognize the Wude court... ...and it is useless to send troops from the interior to fight back against Mongolia. When the troops travel long distances to the place, those tribes will have already run away, and the day lily will be cold!

A large group of ministers, who can say anything.Some people are indeed making suggestions with their hearts; while some people are just laughing, and they don't want to solve it, so they just scold there!

"There are two tribes in Nawuliangha, they are absolutely abhorrent! They want to go south with others to make a fortune, but they are afraid that the court will ask for the crime of treason, so they are sneaky, pretending to be Tatars, and beating Tatars. Banner! The most abominable thing is not this kind of thing, but that they don't even have to change their clothes, and they are still wearing the armor of the Wuliangha tribe; they are simply insulting the knowledge of the court ministers..."

Zhu Gaoxu was very impatient when he heard it, and he thought to himself: There is nothing wrong with complaining!I'm here to listen to your nonsense, why not fix a few cars!

He really didn't want to hear it anymore, so he interrupted the official's long nonsense solemnly, and said loudly and righteously: "You dear ministers are right, my court must punish the rebels and deter all tribes!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoxu explained what he saw just now: "Shangshu Xia Yuanji has been absent, what's going on?"

Someone came out to pay homage: "Return to the Holy Master, Xia Butang is at home, and he hasn't gone out these days."

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Did he report illness?"

The official replied: "The household department doesn't know about Xia Butang's leave. I heard that he is doing well!"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "Get him here, I will ask."

Hou Xian, who was standing on the side, said: "The servant obeys the order and arranges someone to do it immediately."

Changing the topic, Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to say: "Everyone, go back to the government office and perform your duties."

The eunuchs sang the lyrics, and the ministers kowtowed to thank them.The royal meeting is over.The ministers resigned, leaving only the officials of various departments who took turns to be on duty at the imperial gate.

While Zhu Gaoxu was approving the memorial, most of the time he just wrote the word "Zhun Zou"; if he disagreed with it, he didn't write anything, didn't send it back, and just left it in the palace as waste paper.He has only been enthroned for a few days, and he doesn't care much about ordinary things.

After a long time, Xia Yuanji was tied up and brought into the imperial gate.

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback when he saw this, and he asked, "What's going on?" The eunuch Hou Xian who had just arranged for someone was also embarrassed.

The general of Jin Yiwei who arrested him said: "Report to Your Majesty, Xia Yuanji is unwilling to obey the imperial edict!"

Zhu Gaoxu walked down from the throne calmly and came to Xia Yuanji.Xia Yuanji's face turned red, and he remained completely silent.

Looking at his expression, Zhu Gaoxu understood: Xia Yuanji didn't want to face the reality, nor did he want to surrender.A civil official of his level cares about integrity and reputation...Xia Yuanji was originally an official of the Jianwen Dynasty, and first surrendered to Emperor Taizong; then he was an official of the Hongxi Dynasty, and surrendering again might feel like it would be embarrassing.

So he was unwilling to voluntarily surrender, but he did not object.

"I didn't make it clear, and Xia Butang was humiliated." Zhu Gaoxu went to untie the rope on him with his own hands.

Xia Yuanji finally opened his mouth and said: "The guilty minister dare not, dare not..."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but said: "The billions of people of the Ming Dynasty all need people like Xia Butang to think for the people in the court. Are you going to abandon the people? If Xia Butang continues to be an official, it will be a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty Nah."

After Xia Yuanji heard this, he knelt down on the ground: "I kowtow to the Holy Majesty, please forgive me!"

Chapter 6 and Three World Maps

A few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu was on duty at Yumen. After lunch today, he went to the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

To enter Dongnuan Pavilion, you have to pass through a famous inclined corridor.

It is located in the gate of Qianqing, and it already belongs to the living area of ​​the emperor's harem, and ordinary civil and military personnel from the outer court are absolutely not allowed to enter; people in the scholarly circle, whoever has been to the inclined corridor, must have been a close minister of the emperor in an important position , such a person can not only meet the emperor, but also talk to the emperor in such informal occasions.Therefore, when literati talk about the inclined corridors in front of their friends, it is a kind of halo.
