Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

As night falls, the lights of Qianqing Palace are brightly lit.

After Zhu Youtang took a shower, he went to Dongnuang Pavilion to read the latest information.

In fact, he has always had a vague feeling that there is a force in this capital that he cannot see. Unlike the Qingliu group headed by Xu Pu earlier, this force is deeply hidden.

It's just that even during the Spring Festival, I couldn't find any flaws, so I had to suspect that I was neurotic. Maybe there was no such power at all.

While Zhu Youtang was carefully browsing the information, the eunuch in the respect room came over with a tray with sixteen brands neatly placed on it.

Behind every brand there is a stunning beauty, and this stunning beauty will be the qualifications of a big star in future generations.

The beard and hair of the eunuch in the Jingsi Room are all white, but his loyalty seems to have been melted into his bones. He seems to be respectfully reminding: "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the sign!"

Except for the fifteenth day, which is exclusively owned by the queen, the rest of the days are usually determined by flipping cards.

Zhu Youtang saw that one of the wooden signs had an obvious red head mark, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Has Lady Lotus come to Yuekui?"

"Exactly!" the eunuch of the Jingsi Room responded in a long tone.

Zhu Youtang sighed helplessly when he learned that Lian Meiren, who worked the hardest, had not been successful, and that other women probably did not need to have high expectations.

Some things are truly beyond human power, and no matter how much you sow, you may not always be able to reap the rewards. It's just that this kind of thing seems to be something that can't be rushed. Now that I am only nineteen years old, even if I farm alone, it will not be effective until the fourth year of Hongzhi.

Now that I am using the broadcast method, the effect may be even worse, so I can only leave it to fate.

In fact, Zhu Youtang probably knew the locations and symbols of several brands. He had always been deliberately favoring them in turn, but thinking that these women were not living up to expectations, he decided to look at the few Jiubin brands that he had no impression of.

Although the nine concubines are both his own women, they have less time to interact with them after all. In fact, in his heart, they are not as good as Qingyue and Fan Jinling, so he regards them more as hope for fertility.

"Your Majesty, you are turning over Lin Chongyuan!" The eunuch of the Jingshi Room reminded him seriously after seeing the cards.

Chongyuan is one of the titles of the Nine Concubines, and Lin Chongyuan’s real name is Lin Qiqi.

Zhu Youtang remembered that he actually had a ninth concubine who was not "sleeping", and it seemed that she was Lin Chongyuan.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but when it was the ninth concubine's turn, he was still worried about the war in Li Dynasty. That night I saw that she was too nervous, scared, and even cried quietly under the quilt, so I just slept with her.

It's just that there are nine concubines after all, and they have no emotional basis or political interests, so they focus more on other women.

Zhu Youtang is not the kind of person who doesn't respect the rules of the game. If this Jiuqing cries again, he will be sent away, so he raised his hand calmly: "Go down!"

"Yes!" Seeing that the emperor had no objection, the eunuch in the respect room immediately resigned respectfully.

The candle was about to burn out, and Niu Mengmeng, who was wearing a light red dress, brought a new one. She walked very lightly, but did not dare to make the slightest sound, and then stood here to look after the candle. .

Fire prevention mostly relies on manpower, so this is one of her important responsibilities.

Although staring at candlelight can easily make people sleepy, she was born in a farm family and now lives in a place where the wind and rain are out of reach. She has meat for every meal, which is enough to make her feel happy every day.

Niu Mengmeng has been standing properly since the last time he learned court etiquette from the three hundred beautiful ladies. However, whenever he looks at Zhu Youtang who is writing, he can't help but feel curious.

Zhu Youtang was reading the information under the light. The massacre of the Qian family caused panic among the people in the capital, so naturally corresponding information was sent to the palace.

If the Qian family's murder was not a coincidence, it must be related to the land in the northern suburbs, and the biggest dissenter is naturally the potential successor to the land.

In fact, on the eve of the Spring Festival, five fires broke out outside the city, and there were as many as five murders. The motives of these people were all to seek land.

Capitalists dare to trample all laws in the world for a profit of 200%. Now with profits of dozens of times, it is indeed inevitable for people to take risks.

Especially the residents living outside the city can explain their social status. Facing the families of nobles and important ministers in the capital, they really have no capital to fight.

Because of this, he had every reason to believe that the person who ordered the gang of thugs to massacre the Qian family was not a vendetta, but a plot to build a wealthy house that was about to increase in value dozens of times.

Du San?

Du Ming?

Zhu Youtang couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw that Du San was actually Du Ming's housekeeper.

After working on it for a long time, the suspected murderer Ganqing was the housekeeper of an important minister he relied on, and the man behind the scenes was probably this important minister - Du Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Although Du Ming may not dare to do such a crazy thing, it is inevitable that the Du family has several useless family members, and the profits from this land speculation are so attractive.

The second year of Hongzhi was indeed an eventful year. The chief minister Wan An had just blinked and let it go, and now he met Du Ming, the Minister of Punishment.

Once Du Ming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, falls, although it will not cause any damage to his muscles and bones, it will indeed have a negative impact on his ability to control the court.

After all, Du Ming, the Minister of Punishment, was the first Minister to surrender to him. Now that he is personally conducting the liquidation, it feels like burning bridges by crossing the river, thus affecting the loyalty of others to him.

Zhu Youtang held his breath and concentrated, and then gave instructions from above: "Thorough investigation!"

If it only involves some gray income, you can still turn a blind eye. It's just that it is absolutely impossible for him to cover up a major case involving human life, especially a heinous murder case.

Now I just hope that Du Ming is not personally involved, otherwise he will have to kill even the first minister to surrender to him, even if he is his right-hand man.

After all, what he wants to do is to lead China to become a truly prosperous emperor, and to create a world full of justice. There is no word compromise in his dictionary.

The candlelight flickered gently, and the entire Dongnuan Pavilion was filled with a faint orange light.

aim!

A tabby cat walked in from outside with steps that it didn't recognize, and ignored its nominal owner. Instead, it barked flatteringly at the yawning Niu Mengmeng.

When Niu Mengmeng saw the tabby cat appearing, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and then he turned to look nervously at Zhu Youtang in front of the case.

Zhu Youtang naturally noticed this scene, but continued to sort out the information in his hands without raising his head, and then calmly ordered: "Take Xiaohua out to play!"

"Yes!" Niu Mengmeng's eyes were like crescent moons, and he happily picked up the tabby cat next to him and responded.

The eunuchs and maids waiting here couldn't help but have a flash of envy in their eyes when they saw Niu Mengmeng's disappearing figure.

Zhu Youtang feels that having a cat means not having a cat, but the little tabby cat is very docile when it comes to him. He usually likes to pet the cat in the evening when the tabby cat has just taken a bath to relieve stress.

It’s just that at night, it’s better to use your energy on masturbating cats than on masturbating people.

The half-circle moon is already high in the sky and is slowly evolving towards the full moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Since there was no impact from the Renyin Palace Incident, the concubines who come to bed now are all neatly dressed, and some familiar concubines will go to Dongnuan Pavilion first.

Lin Chongyuan is only seventeen years old, with a delicate face, fair skin, bright moon-like eyes, and small dimples, which just gives people a feeling of pity.

A girl who cries on her first night is naturally soft-tempered.

According to her usual arrangement, she seemed to be lying on the bed in an orderly manner. When she saw Zhu Youtang appeared, a trace of panic clearly flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Probably after a long period of psychological construction, now he naturally wants to work hard to cater to Zhu Youtang. At least he is not crying when he sees Zhu Youtang at this moment.

Zhu Youtang opened his hands, and someone took off his clothes, leaving only the innermost white shirt. Although his figure is not strong, he has the symmetry of a handsome man.

When Liu Jin saw that Zhu Youtang had to do something, he immediately sent the eunuchs and maids present away, while he waited outside with the female official in charge of taking notes.

"Chongyuan, I heard that you like reading very much on weekdays?" Although Zhu Youtang was not close to Jiubin, he knew some things in advance and took the initiative to communicate.

Lin Qiqi nodded lightly at first, but was worried that Zhu Youtang wouldn't see her movements, and then added: "Well, I... I like poetry!"

"Chongyuan, whose poems do you like?" Zhu Youtang saw that the girl's attention was diverted by him, so he stretched out a hand and asked.

Lin Qiqi's eyes brightened slightly and she said with admiration: "Li Qingzhao!"

"Then do you like drinking?" Zhu Youtang thought of Li Qingzhao's hobbies and gently opened the knot on her chest.

Lin Qiqi shook her head gently, and said with a hint of disgust on her pretty face: "I drank it twice, but I didn't like the taste!"

"Then you like to go to Renshou Palace to play mahjong and gamble!" Zhu Youtang untied the next knot and continued to ask calmly.

Lin Qiqi shook her head slightly again, her beautiful eyes full of clarity: "I went to Renshou Palace to play mahjong several times, but we never gambled!"

"Okay, then which poem by Li Qingzhao do you like?" Zhu Youtang swallowed when he saw that his inner clothes had been untied and looked at the red bellyband.

Lin Qiqi didn't seem to realize that her clothes had been taken off, and she seemed to be completely in Zhu Youtang's rhythm: "Last night it rained and the wind blew, and I couldn't drink the wine after a deep sleep. I tried to ask the person behind the curtain, but the crabapple was still the same. Do you know, do you know?" It should be green, fat, red and thin.”

"Ru Meng Ling! Chong Yuan, do you know which song I like?" Zhu Youtang saw that Lin Qiqi seemed to want to look down, so he stretched out his hand to touch her pretty face and asked.

Lin Qiqi's pretty face was slightly red, but she no longer rejected Zhu Youtang, so she asked curiously: "Your Majesty, do you also know Li Qingzhao's words?"

"Not only do I know, I can also recite it!" Zhu Youtang found that although the woman with the eyes was small and exquisite, her face was indeed impeccable.

The emperor in Lin Qiqi's impression would not understand this, let alone the words of a female poet. Her eyes could not hide her suspicion: "Your Majesty, are you serious about this?"

"Looking and looking, it's deserted and miserable. It's the hardest to catch your breath when it's warm and then cold. How can three glasses and two glasses of light wine defeat him? The wind comes late and the wind blows! The wild goose is passing by, and I'm sad, but it's We're old acquaintances..." Zhu Youtang looked at the girl who was completely attracted by the words, and took the opportunity to lean closer.

Lin Qiqi had already felt the big hand climbing up through her bellyband, but she did not reject it at this moment, but she felt that the two of them had a red thread of destiny. At least the emperor knew Li Qingzhao's words as well as she did.

"Chongyuan, do you like Qu?" Zhu Youtang's face was already close to Lin Qiqi's, and he could already hear each other's heartbeats.

Lin Qiqi was also full of curiosity about the emperor in front of her, and her heart was beating loudly. She originally planned to come over tonight and let the mermaid meat her, but now she asked out of curiosity: "Your Majesty, do you still know music?"

"It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, but all the ruins are ruined. What a beautiful time!" Zhu Youtang knew that he was an emotional girl in front of him, so he decided to give her something powerful to attack.

When Lin Qiqi heard the last sentence, it was a masterpiece of music that she had never heard before, and she looked at the man in front of her in shock as if her heart had stopped.

"Whose family is enjoying the pleasure? Flying in the morning and rolling in the evening, clouds and green pavilions, raindrops and wind, smoke and waves painting boats, the people of Jinping look at this time as cheap. For you, you are like a flower and a beautiful family, like water..." Zhu Youtang When he sang the last two lines, he looked at the girl in front of him affectionately.

Lin Qiqi's bellyband had been torn off, but she seemed to have forgotten everything at the moment. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, you are really talented!"

"That's wrong!" Zhu Youtang had completely taken the initiative. He looked down at the girl who met his eyes and corrected him.

Lin Qiqi was mentally conquered and responded blankly: "What's wrong?"

"You are now called my official, and I actually have higher talents!" Zhu Youtang is not planning to be a cultural person at this moment, but to be an upright official.

Lin Qiqi didn't know why Zhu Youtang changed his name, but she soon became speechless. At the same time, she felt that Zhu Youtang was heavier than expected, and even rougher than she expected, but there was a slight feeling in her heart. of joy.

The night sky was very clear, with only a semicircle of bright moon hanging high.

Meow!

A tabby cat was squatting in the empty courtyard of Qianqing Palace. After hearing the movement inside Qianqing Palace, it barked towards the bright moon on the top of the palace.

That night, the whole room seemed to be filled with continuous music, accompanied by wooden sounds, but the girl still cried in the end, and the cry was pitiful.

Although the sun will still rise tomorrow, although there will still be a lot of government affairs tomorrow, and although I will lose an important minister tomorrow, someone at this moment feels the happiness of an emperor.
