Bright Spring

Yao Ji is thinking of a way... Guo Yan, this seemingly useless person, may still be used; she may be entering Ma Shi's sight.

If Mrs. Ma did nothing and An Anxin relied on her good looks to win the favor of the emperor, Yao Ji would have nothing to do with her; but Yao Ji felt that she might not let go of the hatred of the deposed prince and his wife!

So now Yao Ji has to wait for the opportunity, to wait for the other party to do something...

"Concubine Xian's palace is here, my sister didn't drive out with a car today, so you can get off the sedan chair here." Guo Wei's voice interrupted Yao Ji's thoughts.

Yao Ji smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will accompany the queen to Kunning Palace, and just walk back in a while, the road is not far away."

Guo Wei responded with a smile and said no more.

On the west wall of the Kunning Palace, there is a gatehouse, and a crowd of people surrounded the queen's sedan chair. Entering the gate, there is a spacious brick square.The towering and majestic Kunning Palace stands on a jade-white platform.

The sedan chair got on the platform base, and Guo Wei and Yao Ji were helped down by the female officer.Yao Ji squatted slightly, clasped her fists in her stomach and said: "The queen please rest, and my concubine will leave."

Guo Wei nodded and said: "The imperial concubine lives in the east, far away from my younger sister and Concubine Shu and younger sister Du. But we can't alienate her, and my younger sister and Concubine Shu go to walk around when I have time."

"Yes, my concubine would like to obey Yi's order." Yao Ji replied.

After finishing speaking, the queen turned and walked into the palace gate.It was getting late today, and Yao Ji did not enter the Kunning Palace anymore, and together with the female officials and maids around her, after watching the Queen off, they walked down the stone steps.

When the sun was setting, the palace looked particularly beautiful.The alternating light and shadow between the palaces and palaces enriches the colors of the red walls and yellow tiles.The palace maid and eunuch who is about to be on duty also showed a relaxed expression, and her breath was full of lightness and joy.

Yao Ji watched the scenery with a smile, but there was still a faint sense of loss in her heart.As the day draws to a close, she can't help but look forward to the tenderness of the night, the harmony of the harp and the happiness that seems to be in the clouds; but the Holy Majesty will definitely not ask her to sleep with her tonight, because Yao Ji has slept with her three days ago, and there are still people in the palace. There are other concubines.

Yao Ji doesn't care that Gao Xu has other women, but the more women he dotes on, the less tenderness she will get.

At this moment, suddenly the eunuch Cao Fu quickly walked down the steps.Cao Fu panted, and sighed a long time: "Concubine Xian, I found you. I didn't see you when I went to Concubine Xian Palace, so I guess you are in Kunning Palace."

Yao Ji's slightly disappointed heart suddenly ignited.As soon as she was in a good mood, she said a few more words: "If Eunuch Cao had come to burn incense earlier, he would not be able to find me in Kunning Palace."

Cao Fu nodded, and said impatiently: "Your Majesty, hurry back to the palace to take a shower and change clothes, the emperor personally wants you to go to the Qianqing Palace to sleep!"

Yao Ji had already guessed it just now, she had a very calm expression, looked around with a smile, and sighed softly: "The evening scenery in the palace is really beautiful; and this hour is even more perfect."

The beautiful scenery on a good day is probably like this.

Chapter 638 The True and the False

After the family members of the original Han Palace came to Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu found the old man to sleep with him every night, and added the newly-appointed imperial concubine Mu Zhen.

Thinking of Yao Ji's goodness last night, Zhu Gaoxu sent another message that Yao Ji stayed with her all night.Zhu Gaoxu had been busy in the outer court for a whole day today, and he returned to Qianqing Palace before Youshi; but he was busy drawing a big picture, which was the map of the world that he had thought of more than a month ago.

His handwriting is quite good, but his Danqing pictures are not in the right way.Gain Taizu didn't like the princes and grandchildren playing with this thing, only calligraphy is an exception.

Fortunately, it is easy to find people who are good at the civil servants in the court who are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; Zhu Gaoxu only needs to draw a general meaning, and then ask someone to draw it again.

By the wall of the main entrance of Qianqing Palace, there was a desk, and Zhu Gaoxu was sitting next to the desk.There are paper and ink on the case, and a stack of nautical charts, all of which were brought back after Zheng He's fleet went to sea.

However, Zhu Gaoxu mainly relied on his memory when drawing pictures.He still has an impression of the general oceans and continents of the world; now he is trying to remember while completing the world pattern.

Before you know it, the sun has set.

Cao Fu, the eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor, took the food cooked by the imperial chef directly to the Qianqing Palace.First, a row of palace maids tasted the food, and then the dishes were served one by one.

Cao Fu, who was white and fat, with thin skin and tender flesh, bent over and came up.He took a pair of chopsticks and picked up dishes that were far away for Zhu Gaoxu.He waited cautiously, as if he had something to say.

While eating, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Cao Fu.

Cao Fu gave a flattering "hehe" smile.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing and said, "When I was the king of Gaoyang County, you were already in the palace. I don't know you yet?"

He asked Yao Ji to sleep with him last night; now if Zhu Gaoxu follows his own preferences, he wants to find Miao Jin or Mu Zhen who is still very fresh, they are all great beauties.

But he glanced at the blueprint on the table, and decided temporarily: "You go and call Mrs. Pu, the virtuous concubine, and come to Qianqing Palace to serve her bed later."

Cao Fu bowed and said: "Your servant obeys the order!"

After dinner, the maid and eunuch of the imperial kitchen came up to put away the bowls and chopsticks, Zhu Gaoxu rinsed his mouth, and ordered someone to serve tea.If it wasn't for his request, the maids would not serve tea at this time of night.

Holding the teacup, Zhu Gaoxu blew on the surface of the water twice, then stared at the map on the case in a daze...

Zhu Gaoxu did not agree with any of the national policies of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty; and none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty understood Zhu Gaoxu's ideas, including his confidants Qi Tai and Gao Xianning.

Zhu Gaoxu does not blame everyone, after all, his thinking is based on more experience in later generations; those unimaginable worlds at this time have never been seen by others!But Zhu Gaoxu stubbornly believed that he was right!

At the beginning, he thought about foreign national policy from the perspective of priority, thinking that Mongolia's national defense should be laid out first...The more he thought about it, the more he felt that all surrounding places could not be viewed separately!

For example, the worries of the nomads in the north cannot be completely solved by the old methods, no matter whether they are offensive or defensive;

Zhu Gaoxu thought of the "Bastion" tactic.To use the bastion strategy, the technological progress of firearms is needed; and to stimulate technological progress and maintain the standing army pay he insisted on, as well as the long-term tough national policy, a lot of money is needed!

To maintain a long-term stable national policy, where does the money come from?Relying on increasing agricultural tax exploitation|exploitation does not necessarily reduce the difficulty. Ministers and common people will oppose it, and there is great resistance.It is even more difficult to continue to print the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty. The credit of the imperial court banknotes has fallen to zero up to now!

Zhu Gaoxu thought of ways to develop maritime trade, increase tariffs, and mine mining in Japan.

To develop maritime trade, the problem in Cochin Province must be completely resolved, so that the fleet can have a relay station on the southern route.If you want to get involved in Japan|our country, it is best to control Jeju Island in North Korea; so you must start intervening in North Korea affairs to prepare for a perfect plan!

Korea|North Korea seems to have a very good relationship with the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but it is still a state-to-state relationship, nothing more.If the Ming court proposes to occupy|possess and use Jeju Island, the North Korean court may not necessarily agree.

Just like An Nanguo, Daming still has as many as [-] garrisons and established provinces; the local forces in Annan Kingdom will still not fully obey the Ming court...

At this time Zhu Gaoxu felt someone coming in, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Mrs. Pu had already walked to the door of the bedroom.

Her gaze swept across the paper, ink, and files in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and she looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a blushing face, and said on her knees: "My concubine pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Excuse me."

Mrs. Pu thanked her, but turned to the maid outside the door and said, "Give me the box." She took a food box, and took out a porcelain jar, white porcelain bowl, and silver spoon from it.

"This is medicinal chicken soup, which has nourishing effects. I wonder if the Holy Majesty is used to drinking it." Mrs. Pu spoke while scooping up the soup gently.Her voice was a bit whiny, but there was that feeling in her accent, which didn't seem like it was intentional.She scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it over, saying: "If the Holy Majesty is not used to drinking it, I will make you other flavors next time."

Zhu Gaoxu took it over and said: "I'm not picky about food... Well, the taste is not bad! My concubine has a heart."

Mrs. Pu smiled, and said softly: "Da Ming is the most powerful country in the world today. The Holy Majesty is the son of the Great Ming Dynasty. The martial arts and martial arts are very good. The ministers and concubines are willing to serve the Holy Majesty."

"You are very good at talking." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Mrs. Pu said softly: "The concubine speaks from the bottom of her heart. But in the past few days, the Holy Majesty has forgotten me..."

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, and said: "I haven't forgotten, but I haven't seen the family members of the old Han Palace for a long time, so I want to get along with them more."

Pu Shi's round almond eyes showed jealousy, and she seemed to be a little emotional.At this time, she turned around in front of Zhu Gaoxu, her skirt floated up, and said: "Isn't my concubine beautiful, is she not as good as others?"

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair and watched, and replied: "It's beautiful. But there is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior, because I want them all! To be honest, it is a virtue in this world to allow a man to have three wives and four concubines. , why do I want to bind myself in a cocoon and spoil only one person?"
