Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

She turned her head to look at Zhu Qizhen from time to time, with tenderness in her eyes.

"Natural beauty is hard to give up, once she was chosen by the king. Looking back, she smiles at Bai Meisheng, and the six palaces of pink and black are colorless."

Zhu Qizhen dared to assert that this poem describing Concubine Yang's concubine closed in the moon and shy flowers, placed on Murong Xian, would definitely not be worse than the legendary Yang Yuhuan!

For a while, Zhu Qizhen was deeply attracted by Murongxian's singing and dancing.

He never expected that Murong Xian's singing and dancing would be so elegant and melodious.

It has to be said that the ancient service and grooming are of great benefit to women, both in terms of appearance and temperament.

I saw her light veil, long sleeves fluttering, it was simply breathtaking, making people linger and forget to return.

No wonder there are so many kings who were misled by women in history.

With such a pitiful and charming appearance, who can resist it? ...Of course, except for Cao Zhengchun.

"The soul is broken, love and hate are in an instant, raise a glass to the moon, love and hate are both busy, ask when you will fall in love; the moon is reflected on the chrysanthemum platform, who knows that my love is cold, drunk in the king's arms, dreams Back to Tang Ai..."

"Your Majesty, have another drink."

After Murong Xian finished singing and dancing, he brought Zhu Qizhen a bottle of fine wine.

Then, she leaned gently on Zhu Qizhen's body, and saw tenderness in her eyes, and whispered in Zhu Qizhen's ear: "Your Majesty, let my concubine serve you and rest."

Murong Xiansui took off the hook, and the beaded curtain of the dragon couch fell.

At the moment of the Spring Festival, a thousand gold is not exchanged, and above the dragon collapses, even though Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, he has no choice but to let a little girl do whatever she wants, and let her display eighteen kinds of martial arts...

On the second day, the wind was sunny and the spring breeze was blowing.

Zhu Qizhen, who always got up early, didn't get up at this moment.

The gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was still tightly closed.

The eunuchs and maids outside the palace did not dare to wake up the emperor, for fear of disturbing His Majesty's rest. After all, this is a rare sleepiness since His Majesty ascended the throne.

Three poles in the sun.

Wei Zhongxian raised his head and looked at the sky, and just now he summoned a court lady, and whispered: "You go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to check the situation first, and see if Your Majesty and Concubine Xiang are awake."

"Remember, if you don't wake up, just exit carefully, and don't disturb."

"Yes."

The palace maid cautiously entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and through the bead curtain, she saw that Murong Xian had already woken up.

At this time, Murong Xian was lying beside Zhu Qizhen, quietly looking at Zhu Qizhen's sleeping face.

The maid coughed softly, Murong Xian turned her head to look at the maid, stood up gently, for fear of disturbing Sheng Jia.

Murong Xian walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, feeling the warmth of spring.

She took a deep breath, and suddenly realized that today's spring seems to be extraordinarily bright, and today's spring breeze is also extraordinarily gentle.

Um!Anyway, it's different!

She felt extra refreshed.

Murong Xian turned his head to look at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, feeling very reluctant to part.

However, as the emperor's woman, she deeply knows that the emperor in the daytime belongs to the Ming Empire, to the country, to the common people...

This is the awareness that every harem beauty should have, and she naturally has it too.

……

Cining Palace.

Early in the morning, a court lady happily ran into the palace and reported the situation in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Empress Dowager: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty had the honor of concubine Xiangfei last night."

"Oh? It's a good thing, it's a great thing, the emperor finally got the hang of it!"

The Empress Dowager Sun showed a look of surprise, and excitedly patted her legs and said: "Pass the order of the Ai family, and reward Xiangfei with ten boxes of guiren bird's nest, ten hundred-year-old ganoderma lucidum, and ten thousand-year-old ginseng, so that she can take good care of her body."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

The maid is about to take orders and go.

However, the happy Empress Dowager seemed to feel that this reward was not enough, and added: "In addition, reward Xiangfei with a hundred pieces of jewellery, a thousand pieces of silk and satin, and add eighteen maids to serve her, and let the imperial doctor go to Changchun Palace in a month. Concubine Xiang is pregnant with a dragon seed, and the Ai family promoted her to be the imperial concubine."

"According to the order."

Then the maid stepped on the small lotus steps and headed to the Changchun Palace to announce the good news to the concubine Xiang.

Chapter 38 The emperor's kindness is so great, how dare the minister Hu Zongxian die?

Morning morning on the fifth day, no morning class today.

It wasn't until noon that Zhu Qizhen woke up leisurely, sitting on the dragon bed, recalling the wonderful experience Murong Xian gave him last night, he couldn't help smiling.

It was a night to remember.

Under the service of the court ladies and eunuchs, Zhu Qizhen tidied up his clothes, ate breakfast, and then went to Qianqing Palace to check the memorials submitted by the court ministers today.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song's memorial was naturally placed first.

Yan Song reported:

"Relying on His Majesty's divine power, in the eighth year of orthodoxy, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty defeated Wala in Datong Mansion, and Yu Huatian led his army deep into the desert, covering more than three thousand miles, to wipe out the twelve royal tribes of Wala."

"Thus, the depth of the Ming Dynasty's border extends three thousand miles toward the grassland."

"In order to turn this plump and plump grassland into the territory of the Ming Empire, since the autumn of the eighth year of Zhengtong, the Ministry of Industry has recruited craftsmen and migrant workers to go deep into the northern grasslands to build cities."

"Now, after nearly five months of construction, an important border town has been built deep in the grassland."

"35 officers and soldiers of Datong Mansion jointly signed a letter, and Hu Zongxian, the commander-in-chief of Datong Mansion, came to the capital in person, asking His Majesty to give this important town a name."

In this memorial, there is also a map of the important border town, which was drawn by Hu Zongxian personally leading craftsmen to investigate.

"Yan Song, the chief assistant of the Xuan cabinet, Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of war, and Hu Zongxian, the general of the Datong government, came to the palace to have an audience."

Zhu Qizhen put the memorial aside and turned to Wei Zhongxian.

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian bowed and retreated.

Half an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps outside Qianqing Palace.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Yan Song, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, Hu Zongxian, Chief Soldier of Datong Mansion, the three adults have arrived and are waiting for orders outside the palace."

Wei Zhongxian walked into Qianqing Palace and bent down to report.

"Let them enter the palace."

Zhu Qizhen put down the memorial in his hand, there were not so many important national events that required him to review today.

In fact, most of the foreign official memorials are usually handled by the cabinet, and only a few major events are handled by the emperor himself.

Otherwise, the world is so big that countless things happen every day.

If the emperor did everything himself, wouldn't he be exhausted?

This is the cabinet system that Ming has always implemented, with its advantages and disadvantages.

If capable ministers are in power, like in the Jiajing Dynasty, the emperor asked for immortality for 30 years, but the Ming Empire was still prosperous and prosperous without going to the early dynasty, and the emperor was undoubtedly very happy.

But if treacherous ministers are in power and the emperor is fatuous, the gang of old foxes in the cabinet can take away the imperial power in a matter of minutes.

Zhu Qizhen chose to choose one of them, one dynasty every five days, so that he would not be so exhausted, but also could firmly control the power of the Ming Empire in his hands.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Hu Zongxian, the chief soldier of Datong Mansion, entered the Qianqing Palace on the [-]rd to bow down to the traveler in Zhuqi Town.

"The three lovers are exempt from courtesy."

Facing these three pillars of the imperial court who are talented in the world, Zhu Qizhen is amiable, especially when the grassland is included in the territory of the Ming Empire, and an important town is built, which makes him even more joyful.

"Come here, give seats to the three lovers."

Wei Zhongxian beckoned lightly, and several eunuchs brought three grand master chairs, and also greeted the eunuchs, and brought a cup of good tea for each of the three.

The three of them were overwhelmed and sat upright on the grand master's chair.

If it is in the Xuanzheng Hall, when the government is being discussed in the court, no matter whether it is a cabinet member or a prince or royal family, there is no such treatment.

Not to mention tea, there is no place to sit!

In front of the emperor, even if you are as high as the sky, and your status is as high as the prince, you have to bend down and stand well!

Looking directly at the emperor is a crime of disrespect!

But now they are in the Qianqing Palace, with the emperor's gift, the three of them, the court ministers with outstanding achievements, can temporarily enjoy the treatment of the emperor's favor.

Hu Zongxian, the governor of Datong, was even more overwhelmed by the flattery.

A few months ago, in order to completely wipe out the invading enemies of Wala, he ordered the flooding of Wala's army. It was inevitable that it would hurt the innocent people of Ming Dynasty.

It never occurred to him that the emperor not only did not remember the demerit, but also recorded a great merit for him.

When he entered Beijing this time, he intended to take the initiative to plead guilty, and this was the first time he entered the Qianqing Palace. He never thought that His Majesty would grant him a seat. He felt as if he was dreaming.

The emperor's kindness is so great, Hu Zongxian, who has been influenced by the thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since he was a child, has some red eyes for a while: "For your majesty, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, how dare the minister Hu Zongxian die?"

"I have already reviewed the memorial submitted by Mr. Yan Ge."

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea and asked: "I only have one question. This border city is built deep in the grasslands. Among the nine border towns, the nearest is Datong Mansion, but it is also [-] miles away. I would like to ask Yu Aiqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Hu Aiqing, the commander-in-chief of the Datong Mansion, how do you two plan to help defend this city?"

In fact, in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, it is not very important to give this newly built border town a name.

What he is more concerned about is how to guard the city if something happens.

If the enemy sends a large army to besiege this city, will this important border town immediately face a situation of isolation and helplessness, just like an isolated island in the sea?

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's question, Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, coughed lightly, reminding his favorite student, the chief soldier of Datong Mansion answered cautiously.

At the same time, Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, also looked at Hu Zongxian with some doubts.

After all, although Minister of the Ministry of War was the coach of the defense of Datong Mansion a few months ago and the annihilation of 30 invading enemies in Oirat, he also knew that the most credited person was Hu Zongbing beside him.

Moreover, after Yuhuatian led his army deep into the grassland and bloodbathed Genghis Khan's blood, Hu Zongxian proposed to build a city in the prairie to completely include the prairie in the territory of the Ming Empire.

It can be said that the construction of this important border town was facilitated by Hu Zongxian.

Of course, the support of his teacher, Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is also indispensable, no matter whether Yan Song is working for the public or striving for political achievements for his favorite student.

At the beginning, Zhu Qizhen immediately decided to fully support Hu Zongxian's proposal.

After all, being able to incorporate the prairie of more than 300 million square kilometers into the territory of the Ming Empire was a major event that would even make him an emperor through the ages.

A great king, who doesn't have the ambition to expand the territory?

Faced with this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, as a young hero, how could Zhu Qizhen refuse?

Facing the emperor's question, Hu Zongxian put down his teacup, looked a little cautious, stood up, and clapped his hands to report: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have nine important towns in Ming Dynasty."

"Now, this majestic city built in the depths of the prairie has an administrative level that can be tied with the important town of Jiuchang as the tenth important border town."

"Your Majesty does not know that this mighty city on the prairie will never become an isolated island."

"Because the location of this important border town is built near Lake Khuvsgul, the fresh water resources are abundant, and the grassland is rich and fertile, which is enough for this important border town to develop into a thousand-year-old city like Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"General Yuhuatian raided the grassland thousands of miles away and wiped out the royal families of the Twelve Oirat Tribes. Relying on His Majesty Tianwei, after the 30 troops of Oirats were wiped out by the Weichen, the Weichen led the Daming cavalry and cleared the barbarians on the prairie several times."

"Nowadays, the population of Wala has dropped sharply, leaving less than 50 people, all of whom surrender to me, Ming."

"These remaining old people, women, and children are just a group of lonely old people and weaklings. They will not pose any threat to my Daming within a hundred years."

"Weichen suggested that, with this important border town as the center, set up a governor's mansion, move 100 million Ming people into the grassland, completely assimilate those descendants of Genghis Khan, and completely become my Ming people."

At the beginning, Hu Zongxian dug the Yellow River embankment without authorization and flooded 30 Oirat troops without blinking his eyes.

Such a tough man, facing the emperor's question now, his heart was pounding nervously, and his voice trembled a little.

. . . . . .

Chapter 39 This is Yan Song

After Hu Zongxian finished his report, he sat back on the grand master's chair tremblingly.

However, his answer did not satisfy Zhu Qizhen.
