Zhu Youde looked at the beauties in front of him with twinkling eyes.
What's happening here?
Actively provoke yourself?
And what does this queen mean?
Still think last night was not enough?
Immediately, Zhu Youde smiled and was about to pounce on the nearest Luo Xian.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xian stretched out her jade hand and blocked Zhu Youde.
Drawing circles on Zhu Youde's chest with his little hand, Tan opened his mouth and said softly: "Your Majesty, would you like to choose one?"
How could Zhu Youde resist this temptation!
Then he ordered the maid to get a pen and paper and write down one of the names of several beauties.
"I close my eyes and draw randomly."
As he spoke, Zhu Youde took out a note and opened his eyes to read: Jade.
Qin Fei Tang Qingyu.
"Qingyu, I wonder if you have made any new music scores?"
As Zhu Youde said this, he hugged Qingyu, which made Qingyu, who was always cold and aloof, extremely embarrassed.
A burst of fragrance came, and Qingyu said to her ear: "Your Majesty... do you want to slap one of the sisters... I think the queen sister is very naughty..."
Before Zhu Youde could say anything, Qingyu's little hand aimed at the note with "Xian" printed on it.
"Okay! The queen will accompany you tonight!"
Zhu Youde held the dumbfounded Luo Xian with his other arm and went to the back hall.
The silvery laughter of several beauties came from behind.
…
The piano played intermittently all night long.
Early the next morning, Zhu Youde got up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes. Qing Yu forced himself to get up from the bed and dress Zhu Youde.
As for Luo Xian, she was a little tired after being taught a lesson by Zhu Youde all night.
Fengtian Hall.
The atmosphere in the court was a bit depressing. Yesterday's incident with Minister Zhao made many ministers feel depressed.
"Yesterday, Minister Zhao reported that he was ill and passed away. I am deeply saddened. I hope that all ministers will take care of themselves and not wear themselves out because of the heavy lifting. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution."
Zhu Youde was the first to speak to break the calm.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Immediately, He Qingfeng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has followed your instructions and buried Zhao Shangshu with the rites of a state master..."
Zhu Youde glanced at He Qingfeng, pondered for a moment and said: "Zhao Shangshu, the elder of the two dynasties, has devoted himself to being the main beam and has worked diligently for decades. Now that I am going to the west, it breaks my heart. I have specially named Zhao Shangshu as the Duke of Anguo, and added the crown prince and Taibao to lead the cabinet.
Grand Bachelor."
As soon as these words came out, the officials were silent and all looked shocked.
It is understandable to add the crown prince and Taibao, and to receive the bachelor of the cabinet, but it is a bit difficult to say that he should be granted the title of An Guogong.
There were only a few princes in the history of Daliang, and each of them was a minister who made great contributions to Daliang.
King Zhudi of Yan immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this. According to Daliang law, the title of Duke needs to be reviewed by the cabinet, and there is no precedent of pursuing the title of Duke..."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is against the law. I hope your Majesty will take back the order."
Even Lin Yun, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and opposed it.
"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate and needs to be discussed."
Zhu Youde's face turned cold. King Yan came out to take the lead in behaving like a monster again.
The atmosphere in the hall became cold. Zhu Youde pondered for a moment and shouted loudly: "This country belongs to me! This Daliang law was also established for this country."
"Zhao Shangshu dedicated himself to the great Liang Dynasty and died, so there is nothing wrong in pursuing the title of Duke!"
Just after he finished speaking, an old minister stood up again: "Your Majesty, this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youde waved his hand: "Come here, pull me down and punish thirty! If there are any opponents, die!"
The veteran who had submitted the petition stayed where he was, and did not react until he was dragged away, shouting for mercy.
Painful wails were heard outside the hall. Zhu Youde glanced around and said angrily: "Who wants to play?"
After saying this, who would dare to complain? If you stand up at this time, wouldn't it be written on your face that you want to be beaten?
After a long time, Feng Bogong saw that no one dared to report, so he immediately took the lead and said: "Your Majesty is thinking of the ministers wholeheartedly. I thank you..."
"Long live my emperor, I thank you."
Zhu Youde nodded and then gave up, but the anger was still on his face.
King Yan, who was standing at the front, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a master for a day, and the Ministry of Rites cannot be without a minister for a day. The position of minister..."
Before King Zhu Di of Yan could finish speaking, Zhu Youde interrupted and said, "I already have a candidate for the new minister, so King Yan won't worry about it."
As he said that, he looked at He Qingfeng.
"He Qingfeng, the son of the former chief minister and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, took over the position of minister."
The ministers also looked at He Qingfeng, and many nodded in approval.
Firstly, He Qingfeng is a good person, and secondly, his ability is indeed outstanding, otherwise he would not have been able to take the position of minister at such a young age.
Some people agree, while others oppose it. The person who opposes it is Jiao Linghui, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Jiao Linghui, who is nearly fifty years old, finally got a chance to be promoted, so he might let it pass.
"Your Majesty, I am also the Minister of Rites, so I am also qualified to take over the position of Minister, so I would like to make a request."
"I request to compete with Zuo Shilang for the position of Minister."
Zhu Youde nodded. What Jiao Linghui said was reasonable. Both of them were loyal and good and should be given a chance.
"Then pass it to the cabinet, and the cabinet bachelor will discuss it." Fortunately, Zhu Youde left the matter to the cabinet.
Anyway, there are many people in the cabinet, so there is no preference for anyone.
"Retreat from the court." Wang Zhonghou sang loudly.
Zhu Youde did not return to the inner hall, but went to the heavenly prison. The eminent monk had been imprisoned for several days, and it was time to go find out information about the Western Regions.
"Wang Zhonghou, I asked you to collect information on the Western Regions?"
"Your Majesty, I have already prepared it for you."
This Western Region is the collective name for the nomadic tribes in the northwest and consists of many tribes. It borders the Western Tang Dynasty and the Xiongnu, and its overall habits are the same as those of the Xiongnu.
The only difference from the Xiongnu is that each tribe of the Xiongnu has different totem beliefs; while the tribes in the Western Regions all believe in Buddhism.
This is also the reason why eminent monks from the Western Regions came to Daliang to promote Buddhism.
Zhu Youde nodded and walked to the end of the heavenly prison. He saw the dirty monk, who still looked like a beggar.
"Despicable Emperor Daliang, you have offended the Buddha's will, and Daliang will soon be in disaster."
When the eminent monk saw Zhu Youde, his face was ferocious and he roared hoarsely.
"Hmph! Come on, I believe in the twenty-four-character value system! Don't scare me by trying to fool the people..."
Zhu Youde curled his lips with disdain and asked: "Tell me the truth, what is the next move in the Western Region?"
Originally, the Western Regions cooperated with Zhang Yuanhai to promote Buddhism in Daliang and win the hearts of the people. Then they united with the Xiongnu and conquered Jinling in one fell swoop.
But now that Zhang Yuanhai's line is broken, and the eminent monk is trapped in the heavenly prison again, the Western Regions cannot just sit idly by.
"Haha, Master Tianfo from the Western Region is about to come to Daliang. This Daliang must be controlled by our Western Region... Hahaha..."
The eminent monk muttered something as if he was crazy, and then huddled in the corner, hesitating and not knowing what he was saying.
"Your Majesty, you must be crazy..." Wang Zhonghou reminded.
Zhu Youde nodded, turned around and left the prison.
Back in the inner hall, Zhu Youde called Cao Wang.
During this period, Dongchang became more and more prosperous under Cao Wang, with spies all over Jinling, and the intelligence system formed was very effective.
