Lin Qingyin was a beauty, and one of the rare Yangzhou thin horses, so Zhu Youde gave her a wide berth.
After all, it doesn't matter if a beautiful woman makes a mistake. Appearance is justice. When he sees a beautiful woman, all his mistakes can be corrected. As long as the beautiful woman lets him play, everything will be fine.
As for the thing that starts with good looks and ends with talent, it is completely unnecessary and unnecessary. That is women deceiving women. He, Lao Zhu, is a real person, and that is Cao.
Human desires are so direct.
Back in the harem, Zhu Youde went to sleep with the Liu sisters, and naturally they came and went in various ways.
The next day, Zhu Youde went to court for a meeting in good spirits. Hundreds of civil and military officials filled the Fengtian Hall, which was as spectacular as pottery figurines.
Feng Bogong coughed, then stood up, knelt down and said: "The emperor bears the weight of the world, and the world considers the emperor to be respected. Your Majesty is related to thousands of people in Daliang. However, I heard that Your Majesty Zhuo Ye came out of the palace and was almost assassinated. Why did your Majesty
I won’t talk about it today.”
Zhu Youde's face twitched, but he didn't expect that the first thing the court did was to come towards him.
I was stabbed in the back.
Who told it?
Zhu Youde looked at Wang Zhonghou. Wang Zhonghou was also dumbfounded. It seemed that it wasn't him. Who was it?
Zhu Youde smiled dryly and said: "How do you know? It's just a trivial matter."
Feng Bogong said: "I have read the memorial presented by the officials today. Zhou Fang has submitted an apology note. Your Majesty, these are troubled times. Our court is gathering strength. Your Majesty cannot leave the palace at will. If you allow other countries' spies to follow you,
The consequences would be disastrous."
All the ministers knelt down, in line with Feng Bogong's words.
Even Cui Li's officials who were at odds with Feng Bogong agreed with Feng Bogong's words and advised Zhu Youde not to leave the palace easily in the future.
Zhu Youde nodded: "I understand. You also have good intentions. I will be careful in the future."
When the ministers returned to their seats, Feng Bogong said again: "Your Majesty's assassin has been caught."
"No!"
Feng Bogong raised his head, his eyes serious and sharp: "How come I heard that it is a skinny horse? Your Majesty is reluctant to part with it?"
The tone was unprecedentedly harsh. Zhu Youde had been ridiculous before, and Feng Bogong would not interfere in his own affairs, but this time it was the same as risking his life.
"Sir, why bother? That is also a poor woman. If her head is cut off, it will not grow back!"
Zhu Youde smiled and said: "Sir, it was my fault to leave the palace privately. I just went to have a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I already know that I was wrong. I will be careful in the future. Let's forget about the assassin."
"How can such a thing be considered as assassinating a king and killing a chariot? Your Majesty, the country has its own laws and regulations. Do you intend to take the lead in destroying them? Your Majesty plans to let such a serious crime go by today, so what will happen to you in the future?"
Even if you are right, you don’t need to criticize me like this... Zhu Youde said in his heart, this Feng Bogong is really annoying, but the court cannot live without such people. If they are all people like Cui Li, the court will
It won't be balanced.
He was very satisfied with the current structure of the court, so Zhu Youde could only endure it even if he was criticized by Feng Bogong.
"Sir, how can this be the same? I have handed it over to the Guards in Jinyi to guard me, and I will wait until the mastermind behind it is found out, so this person can't die now. I didn't mean to protect her, but this kind of woman also has a loyal side!"
"No one in the Southern Tang Dynasty dares to speak, but there is only one woman who is willing to die as a soldier, and her loyalty should be rewarded. I just admire her loyalty and integrity, so I will be open to you!"
Feng Bogong nodded. He accepted Zhu Youde's explanation, and then said: "They are from the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty should send an envoy to Jiankang to reprimand the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, it's up to you to arrange it."
Damn it, it feels so exciting to shoot the envoy to scold the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
Non-powerful countries would not dare to do it.
The ministers in the court nodded one after another, thinking that this should be the case.
Zhu Youde was very excited. Zhao Wuji thought that the atmosphere in the Liang Dynasty had changed.
His efforts to become emperor were not in vain.
Cui Li said at this time: "Your Majesty, an envoy from East Vietnam is coming and wants to meet with Your Majesty. What are Your Majesty's plans?"
"East Vietnam?" Zhu Youde was a little confused. The relationship between Daliang and East Vietnam was very complicated. East Vietnam was a small country, and the emperor's original mother was from East Vietnam. She was brought back by the late emperor during his private visit to East Vietnam incognito.
In other words, Grandpa Zhu Youde’s family is in East Vietnam.
However, the relationship between Daliang and East Vietnam is actually not good. Pirates from East Vietnam often harass the southeast coast of Daliang.
Moreover, the leader of East Vietnam had the ambition to become king.
"What did the East Vietnamese envoy say?"
Cui Li smiled and said: "The envoy from East Vietnam, Chun Yu, said he came to wish Zhang He a birthday."
"Whose birthday?"
Cui Li looked at Zhu Youde speechlessly, "If it's not yours, who else could it be?"
Wang Zhonghou quickly said in Zhu Youde's ear that his birthday will be in three months.
Naturally, the emperor's birthday must be celebrated with great splendor, and at the same time a general amnesty must be given to the whole world.
There are still three months left, is Dongyue so anxious?
Zhu Youde felt something strange. He was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion but asked: "What do you think?"
Feng Bogong said: "Your Majesty, Dongyue must know that Zhao Wuji is dead, and wants to test my attitude towards the world, whether there will be a war. The leader of Dongyue wants to be king and is ambitious, so he must be trying to draw chestnuts from the fire!"
Cui Li said: "East Vietnam is in the southeast of our country and its navy is powerful. I thought that the East Vietnam envoy's birthday greetings were fake and tested whether our country's attitude towards East Vietnam was true."
"Your Majesty, please be careful of the Eastern border and not be too tolerant."
"I think that your Majesty can send troops to suppress East Vietnam."
"Your Majesty, our country has a territorial dispute with East Vietnam. East Vietnam has occupied our Daliang and East Vietnam border counties for 20 years. This time East Vietnam should be returned."
The ministers spoke one after another, and Zhu Youde was very pleased, but he felt unhappy after hearing the end.
"East Vietnam dares to invade our territory? Why didn't everyone say before, forget it, I just have one idea, take what I have and spit it out for me. If you don't spit it out, I will spit it out. There is not an inch of our territory that can be lost!"
"
You bastard, Zhu Youde didn't want to get angry. The minister in the court was so angry now, but he couldn't help it.
You are from East Vietnam, not Vietnam, so you dare to secretly invade his territory.
"Land and population cannot be discussed. This will be the case in the future. When our country negotiates with foreign countries, land and population cannot be discussed. Whoever dares to cut off the land, no matter what the reason, will exterminate the ethnic group. Whoever dares to trade with the population will also exterminate the ethnic group. I will do it myself."
At first, I thought it was a lesson to future emperors. I, Daliang, can talk to others about anything. For the sake of the survival of the country, the emperor can kneel down and die, but we cannot talk about land."
"I respect your decree!"
Zhu Youde nodded, looked at Cui Li and said, "I will summon the East Vietnamese envoy to the court in three days."
Cui Li nodded quickly in agreement.
Zhu Youde said: "The king should die in the country. The people can die, and the king can die too. Now that's the end of the matter for East Vietnam. I ordered the construction of the Forbidden City. What's going on now!"
