Bright Spring

Even the robe she took off in the first step should be for this reason; in order not to let the wide sleeves block the view and make her movements unclear, she completely avoided making small movements from the sleeves like a magician.

When Zhu Gaoxu supervised or admired her posture like this, he could see the side profile of her chest. The plain white corset made the smooth lines very beautiful.

And Zhu Gaoxu found that she is different from every angle of appreciation.The first time I really saw her beauty was when she was hanging|hanging herself, and Zhu Gaoxu accidentally damaged her clothes in order to save her. At that time, she had passed out and was lying on her front.And the next time, on the eve of Zhu Gaoxu's Northern Expedition, it was a dark night.

So between the known and the unknown, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little restless in his heart.He understands that such a state of mind comes from the room for imagination.

Zhu Gaoxu had a similar experience.He used to get close to his concubines in dimly lit places, and he also saw blurred beautiful scenery in the mirror made of copper. The common feature is that he can't see the details clearly, so there is room for hallucinations.And the kind of greedy desire that cannot be satisfied can also stimulate people's emotions.

"I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have come in person at all." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help saying, "There may be many people in the capital who hate me now, but to the extent of desperately assassinating me, there are not many such people. "

Ma Enhui turned her head and smiled and said, "There is no one more important than the Holy One in the world, so there is nothing wrong with that."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and agreed with her words.

However, the understanding of the two is different.What Ma Enhui meant must be Zhu Gaoxu's status as emperor, just such an important reason.But Zhu Gaoxu believes that he is also the most important person among all the emperors.

Since taking over the imperial power these days, Zhu Gaoxu has gradually realized that the order of the Ming Dynasty is very stable.From people's thoughts to specific systems, they are all built on a reliable foundation of thousands of years, almost a circle that can be cycled.

Such a deep-rooted rule of the dynasty's operation, even if there are a few more "Battle of Jingnan" or a change of dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake.

This is the case with the inertia of a huge body, which has matured to the point that it cannot change its direction by its own strength.The application of external force may be the only reason for the change.

Zhu Gaoxu also "foreseen" such an external force.Whether it is the intervention of external forces in the more backward stage of slavery or the intervention of more advanced modern colonists, it is a tragic, painful, and costly transformation method for Chinese civilization, and it even hovers on the verge of complete destruction several times.

And now, Zhu Gaoxu also realizes that he is also an "external force".He brought in external forces in the dynastic system that could not be brewed on his own.

Since he took the throne, Zhu Gaoxu's heart has also undergone a series of changes.

The emperor's life, which was different from what he had imagined, brought loss; the easy satisfaction of instinctive desires brought confusion; the experience of self-inflated power made him tired again... At this time, he began to come into contact with dynastic power The truth, in the process, gradually realizes its own value, and a natural sense of mission grows.

The sense of mission made Zhu Gaoxu feel his great value.He seems to see countless wronged souls and injustices in the future who are avenging him. He seems to feel that it is necessary to fight for the living space and dignity of a civilization.

Dormant enthusiasm is being rekindled.

In the past few months, Zhu Gaoxu has formed his own rough program.Infiltrate this "circle" with a scientific and rational spirit; form a global composition of spheres of influence; change specific systems and absorb economic nutrition for the dynasty from a larger scope.

However, he cannot change the centralized emperor system, because his own family is an important part of this system.This is why, Zhu Gaoxu would repeatedly discuss with Miaojin, and decided that science is not philosophy and can be compatible with the original system.

Zhu Gaoxu was full of confidence.Tsarist Russia, Ottoman Turkey, and Kaiser Germany under the modern decadent system still had considerable power after absorbing technology under the dictatorial system; could the Ming Dynasty, which had a more superior foundation, be worse than it?

When the world reaches a certain stage, it will become impossible for major powers to close themselves off.But now, the major civilizations are still imprisoned in their respective regions, making limited and slow contact...

"My lord." Ma Enhui's voice interrupted Zhu Gaoxu's thinking.

Zhu Gaoxu first saw her hands, a pair of white and smooth jade hands that did not need to do physical work, and then saw her eyes.Ma Enhui's eyes are watching him, and at the same time revealing a lot of her own feelings.

With the etiquette at this time, it is impolite to look directly at someone with a higher status.But Ma Enhui still looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

"What did you see?" Zhu Gaoxu took the teacup.

Ma Enhui was a little at a loss.

Zhu Gaoxu asked again, "What did you see in my eyes?"

Ma Enhui pondered for a moment and said, "Lonely, flame... There are more things that cannot be understood, very deep."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, the Taoist's eyes were really amazing.

Ma Enhui said again, "The Holy Majesty's smile is also difficult to understand. It's not joy, but I can't explain it clearly."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Madam left the palace, and my heart seemed to be released from the prison."

The conversation between the two became strange at some point.Ma Enhui was silent, as if she was pondering Zhu Gaoxu's words.

After a while, she murmured again, "I do feel a lot lighter."

Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of tea slowly and looked at her quietly.

Ma Enhui also turned her head and glanced at him, "Your Majesty is different from everyone else, even more different from people with high positions and powers. You actually listened so carefully. After all, I am a person who is about to be forgotten, so it doesn't matter."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

While thinking about it, she said slowly, "At first it was very easy. I said during the New Year. Without etiquette, I don't have to meet all kinds of people. I feel that I can do whatever I want. Until the Lantern Festival, the capital suddenly returned to the fiery bustle of previous years. We It was a little unnerving."

Ma Enhui pondered, "It seems that my life is different from other people's, and I feel a little sad as if I have been forgotten. However, then I thought that I don't have to endure other people's comments, and I don't have to care about other people's eyes, so I felt relaxed again. It's great here , isn’t it a misunderstanding?”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said, "I don't think it's a misunderstanding. It's not that Madam has the desire to hide from the world. It seems really easy? But people's needs can't always be single."

"Oh?" Ma Enhui said.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "My power gave Shen Xu Shang Gang shelter, and Mrs. Shen gave you shelter in life. In fact, you can live a very comfortable life. But people need vulgar stimulation from the outside world, and some expectations, to be able to do this." Comfortable. What's more, if you are too idle, you will not be able to distinguish the importance of time, and of course you will feel empty."

Ma Enhui listened very carefully for a while, and asked, "Vulgar excitement?"

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly, "Mrs. is dressed very beautifully today. Although the clothes are simple, it can give me the illusion of smelling the fragrance."

Ma Enhui said happily, "Your Majesty is too famous."

After she said this sentence, she suddenly realized her emotions, as if she understood something.Zhu Gaoxu's simple words of praise and appreciation can give her a little happiness and excitement.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen opened a pear garden in the capital. It is a rich and wonderful place. If you are in the mood, you can go for a walk instead of staying here."

"Show your face, what are you talking about?" Ma Enhui said.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Who will blame you again?"

Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Your Majesty won't?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "As I said before, I believe in you. Excessive possessiveness is meaningless and may lead to withering. Besides, my wife is not my concubine, so I don't have to worry about punishment in terms of ethics. Now my wife can also go back to the palace, where It was a small society."

She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu again, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's good to know that His Majesty is coming."

When the eyes of the two met, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to feel a certain string and trembled slightly.He was quiet for a while, and said in a deep voice without changing his face, "Can you let me see more clearly?"

Ma Enhui didn't quite understand at first, but then her eyes started to flicker, and her face seemed to turn|red, "It's broad daylight. Will someone come?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, the silence made the room awkward, but it made people feel nervous.She moved her hands up heavily for a while, squeezed the skirt of her clothes, and said softly, "I am a little dizzy."

But Zhu Gaoxu still didn't respond, he just looked at her sitting on the side from time to time.

Chapter 761 Little Pond

The sunlight filtered through the window paper is sprinkled on the messy table and the chair next to it.Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting there, felt a little stuffy, and felt the spring sunshine early, which made people feel warm and a little tired.He took out his handkerchief, wiped his sweat-soaked temple hair, and then picked up the towel cap on the desk.

Ma Enhui roughly tied her clothes and smoothed her hair with her fingers. While she was doing trivial things, she faced Zhu Gaoxu silently.

In the living room, there was more than just the smell of tea, and the air lost its tranquility, making it look a bit chaotic.
