Chapter 1037 Please invite Prime Minister Qin to come to court
The Qian family and the aristocratic families in Suzhou and Hangzhou who were still waiting on the sidelines sent their own children to the Zhaoxian Hall one by one. For a time, many knowledgeable people emerged in the Ming Dynasty, and there were no longer all military generals.
, there is finally a bit of flavor in the court.
After Wang Yue became the emperor, Su Tan'er became the queen, Nie Yunzhu became the concubine Shu, Yuan Jin'er became the concubine Jia, and Liu Xigua became the concubine good.
The other civil servants and generals are all excited, so I won't mention it here. After all, getting promoted, getting rich, and marrying a wife is what everyone wants to do, and everyone has been very busy recently.
As for whether you are busy with work or busy with marrying a wife, it depends on the person's choice.
…
Wang Yue's other concubines are all considered to have no family members, and the only ones who can be called relatives of the emperor are the Jiangning Su family.
The old man of the Su family never dreamed that he agreed to the marriage of Su Tan'er and Wang Yue just to save Shu Tan'er's reputation. He never imagined that his son-in-law would ascend to the throne all of a sudden.
The military power of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and the Wu Dynasty that they fought took the initiative to negotiate peace. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Ming Dynasty will never be wiped out like the Yongle Dynasty.
The Su family's big house is now a mixed blessing. What's good is that their daughter has become the queen, and their big house can be said to be a glorious honor for the family.
But the worry is, now that Wang Yue has become emperor, will he fulfill his original promise to give one of his sons the surname Su?
Moreover, their family is originally a businessman and is not worthy of Wang Yue. Will Wang Yue choose a woman from a wealthy family to marry?
For example, Qian Rongrong from the Qian family in Lin'an was also a lady from a well-known family. Her reputation as a virtuous and virtuous lady had long spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and she was originally a candidate for the crown prince.
Therefore, the eldest son of the Su family was also very anxious. Even though Su Tan'er became the queen, she was still very anxious.
The second brother-in-law of the Su family is even more honest. They were originally people with no ambitions, but now that they have become relatives of the emperor, they are indulged in drunkenness and dreams every day, and have no other ideas at all.
…
Among Wang Yue's concubines, Nie Yunzhu's reaction was also great. After she was canonized, she couldn't help crying with excitement.
She was imprisoned at the age of ten because her father was convicted. Although she kept her virginity under the protection of her mother Yang, when she came out of the Xin Men Yi Guan, she just thought about spending the rest of her life alone. There was no other choice at all.
extravagant hope.
Later, she met Wang Yue, and she felt that being a concubine was worth it for Wang Yue, who was so talented and kind to her.
She never imagined that one day she would choose a husband who would be the emperor, which made her, like the Su family, feel both happy and worried.
She originally thought that after Wang Yue became emperor, he would despise her family background and give her to a beauty at most. After all, even if Wang Yue didn't want to, the civil and military officials in the court would still talk about it like this.
But Wang Yue actually defied all opinions and made him a good concubine, which made her love Wang Yue to death.
If there was a loyalty and intimacy value, Nie Yunzhu's loyalty and intimacy would have definitely exploded long ago.
…
Liu Xigua didn't have this awareness. She just felt that the word "good concubine" in her heart made her feel a little embarrassed.
So, when Wang Yue was admiring the moon with them in the harem, she said in a rare coquettish manner, "Your Majesty, please change my title to another one."
Wang Yue actually wanted to say that he really couldn't find a suitable title for Liu Xigua, so he could only comfort him helplessly, "Just think about it, in the entire Yongle army back then, everyone was either trying to plunder someone or not."
Money, you can either sit on the sidelines and only you step in to stop it, doesn't it just prove that you are a kind person? So, this title is very suitable!"
Liu Xigua looked at Wang Yue suspiciously, and then asked tentatively, "Really?"
Seeing that Liu Xigua didn't believe it, Wang Yue was ready to throw the blame away. He pretended to ask Yuan Jin'er, "Concubine Jia, do you think what I said is right?"
Yuan Jin'er never dreamed that she would be a concubine one day. Now she felt that jumping into the Qinhuai River was quite worthwhile. No matter what Wang Yue said, she thought it was right, let alone such a simple question.
So, Yuan Jin'er looked at Liu Xigua and lied to Wang Yueyuan seriously, "Of course, if it weren't for your kindness, how do you think His Majesty would be able to marry you with his wisdom and prowess."
When Liu Xigua thought about it, it was true. After he saw the strength of Jiangmen, he felt that the Jiangzuo Alliance had no need to cooperate with them at that time. It would not be too late to take over the world after just two years of operation.
Thinking of this, she felt that today was a bit unreasonable, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay if we don't change the account. How about you help me think of a name? I want to change it."
Liu Xigua's words made Su Tan'er, Nie Yunzhu, and Yuan Jin'er present all purse their lips and snicker.
After they got acquainted with Xigua, they all knew that Liu Xigua resented this name, so no one spoke up to see how Wang Yue would deal with it.
Wang Yue was already prepared for this, and he started talking coaxingly, "Why did you change your name? Think about it, people will definitely call you Liangfei or Liu Liangfei in the future. Who dares to call you that except me?
What’s your name?”
After Liu Xigua heard this, she thought that every time Wang Yue went to her place, he always said he wanted to eat watermelon.
Her little face turned red immediately, and she said in a rare shy voice, "It just doesn't sound good. I made you scream because I'm afraid you'll get bored in the future."
Ever since Liu Xigua went crazy on the wedding day when they got married, Wang Yue knew that this woman was not as careless as she appeared.
So, he quickly came to Liu Xigua's side and coaxed in a low voice, "I won't get bored of it, because I like eating watermelon."
When Liu Xigua heard Wang Yue's words again, she felt a little awkward all over. She glanced at the other people who were peeking, and punched Wang Yue in anger.
After the beating, she realized that Wang Yue was already the emperor, and she felt a little disobedient for doing so. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to rub it twice more, looking very flattering.
When Yuan Jin'er saw this scene, she pretended to be jealous and said, "Liang Concubine, what you are doing is unethical. The Queen and the Concubine are pregnant. We are the only ones who can sleep with them. Today it is my turn."
, if you take action at this time, I won’t obey you.”
Liu Xigua's face turned red when Yuan Jin'er said that, and she quickly stood up and tried to cover Yuan Jin'er's mouth.
However, Yuan Jin'er has made great progress in martial arts recently. When she saw Liu Xigua rushing over, she jumped and flew away.
The two chased and fought until they ran away, leaving only Nie Yunzhu, Su Tan'er and Wang Yue and Lu Hongti at the scene.
Wang Yue looked at Lu Hongti and asked with some confusion, "Do I have to leave? Now the Ming Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty are relatively calm. As long as you carry the banner of the Ming Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty will not make things difficult for you. You can move as a whole.
Come tomorrow."
Lu Hongti shook his head and said sincerely, "Now that the female guard has been trained, it's time for me to return to Luliang Mountain."
Wang Yue saw the trace of reluctance flashing in Lu Hongti's eyes, and he immediately understood the woman's thoughts. He did not force her to stay, but said seriously, "Protect yourself well, and the development of Luliang Mountain will be put aside."
In the second place, wait until I destroy the Wu Dynasty and hunt the Jin Kingdom with you."
Lu Hongti understood what Wang Yue meant. She was also very happy that Wang Yue understood her very well, but she was reluctant to leave for fear of staying any longer, so she quickly stood up and said, "Then I will wait for your messenger in Luliang Mountain."
…
After Lu Hongti left, Su Tan'er asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, can you rest assured that you let Miss Lu go like this?"
Wang Yue is now very thick-skinned. In ancient times, he would have been very nonchalant when discussing another woman with his wife.
"She doesn't want to be locked up in a cage and wants to make a career. I just want to support her."
Su Tan'er nodded. What she likes most about Wang Yue is that he supports what they do. If it were another man, he would have forcibly detained them in the palace as Lu Hongti worried.
She was very happy when she thought that Wang Yue still let her and Nie Yunzhu run the business, and was considerate and allowed each of them to keep half of it as their own private treasury.
Therefore, she was also afraid that if Lu Hongti made a mistake, Wang Yue would feel guilty and quickly reminded him, "It is better to let Yang Yang lead a team of secret guards to Luliang Mountain to protect Miss Lu."
When Nie Yunzhu saw what Su Tan'er said, he quickly reminded him, "Queen, Your Majesty has always done things well. He must have sent someone long ago. We can safely raise the baby."
After your reminder, Su Tan'er realized that she had some unnecessary worries. She quickly said in agreement, "What my sister said is that we are just waiting for your majesty to welcome this sister into the palace."

…
When the envoys from the Wu Dynasty arrived in Lin'an, they happened to catch up with Wang Yue's enthronement ceremony.
Seeing the power of the Wu Dynasty, they were also very panicked, but they were just errands, so they had no choice but to express their intention to negotiate peace.
Wang Yue nodded indifferently and gave the important task of peace talks to Fang Xifo. He just wanted to let Fang Xifo and the Yongle family vent their anger.
Sure enough, Fang Xifu was very grateful for Wang Yue's arrangement. He made a request to the envoy without hesitation, and only then would he agree to peace talks if Bao Wenhan and other traitors were handed over.
Of course the envoy couldn't make the decision, so he quickly conveyed Ming's request back and waited for the decision from the summit.
The Emperor of Wu Dynasty thought this was normal. After all, Wang Yue wanted to win over the hearts of the remaining people of Yongle, so he had to avenge Fang La. But he just wanted to agree, but was stopped by Grand Master He.
You know, both Fang La and Bao Wenhan were his people. The reason why Bao Wenhan killed Fang La was because Fang La was disobedient.
If he can't protect Bao Wenhan this time, then who will listen to his orders in the future, and his prestige will be ruined.
So, he gritted his teeth and decided to use the excuse he had used to threaten him in exchange for Bao Wenhan's head, and resolutely defended Bao Wenhan in court.
…
Wang Yue saw the envoy's request, and then asked Fang Qiong and Liu Xigua with some doubts, "Fang La has a son, do you know?"
Fang Qiong and Liu Xigua didn't know what was written in the letter. After hearing Wang Yue's words, they looked at each other.
Fang Qiong winked at Liu Xigua, and Xigua pretended to be shocked and said, "Your Majesty, why do you ask that?"
It does make sense for the emperor's throne to be so high up. Wang Yue looked down from a high position and everyone saw the interaction between the two of course.
He reluctantly handed the letter in his hand to the chamberlain, and then said doubtfully, "The Wu Dynasty is ready to return Fang La's son to express sincerity and negotiate peace."
After Wang Yue finished speaking, the civil servants and generals who originally belonged to the Jiangzuo Alliance frowned. They all felt that Wu Chao's move was too poisonous.
You know, the Jiangzuo Alliance had just absorbed the soldiers and horses of the Yongle Dynasty, and a successor appeared in the blink of an eye.
If this heir is true, Wang Yue must agree to the other party's request and exchange for this heir. Otherwise, the old ministers of the Yongle Dynasty will definitely be dissatisfied.
But once this heir comes back, it's hard to say who the old ministers of the Yongle Dynasty will have their hearts towards.
Just when everyone looked serious, the chamberlain handed the letter to Liu Xigua.
Liu Xigua stared for a while, then frowned and said, "You know I don't know these words, so what's the use of asking me to read them?"
Her words successfully made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became less serious.
Liu Xigua was a little annoyed by everyone's laughter, so he threw the letter in his hand to Fang Qiong.
After Fang Qiong received the letter, he knew the whole story.
Their relatives all knew that Fang La originally had a son named Fang Tianding. But that year, Fang Tianding was lost after going out once, and everyone who followed him died, so everyone thought that Fang Tianding was dead.
Now it seems that it was Grand Master He of the Wu Dynasty who sent people to arrest Fang Tianding early in the morning just to blackmail Fang La.
Fang Qiong is not a fool. Of course she knows the other party's purpose of letting him go at this time. She also knows that the other party will not kill Fang Tianding easily. In addition, she is now a member of the Yang family, and she does not want to embarrass Yang Xiao.
So, she immediately said, "Your Majesty, what the letter says is true, but the other party's attitude is really bad. Why don't we give them some color? Let them know who is asking for peace talks."
Wang Yue glanced at Fang Qiong with admiration, and then said in a deep voice, "We not only want Fang Tianding, but also Bao Wenhan's head. As long as one of them is missing, we will not negotiate peace! Yang Xiao!"
When Yang Xiao heard Wang Yue's call, he immediately stepped out of the queue and said respectfully, "Your Majesty! I am here!"
Wang Yue did not hesitate and immediately issued the order, "You lead one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to the expedition, and order the navy to cooperate. Within five days, I will celebrate the victory for everyone in Yangzhou."
After Yang Xiao heard Wang Yue's words, he quickly bowed and accepted the order and left. He knew that this was a relatively difficult job. After all, it would take several days for the navy to prepare.
But he still accepted the order without hesitation. After all, this was to save his little nephew.
But after leaving the court, as soon as he left the main hall, he found Yang Guo waiting for him outside.
The two had a secret conversation, and then he realized that the navy had already been prepared.
Seeing that Yang Xiao had mobilized so many troops and dispatched all the navy, he asked with some confusion, "It's just a Yangzhou city, why is the action so big?"
Seeing that Yang Xiao still didn't understand, Yang Guo said helplessly, "This Fang Tianding is a hot potato. Your Majesty doesn't want to cause that trouble, so he is going to let us take over several prefectures and counties south of the Huai River and east of Yangzhou as Fang Tianding's fiefdom.
By the way, let the other party's loyal generals lead their men to guard it."
Yang Xiao immediately understood Wang Yue's intention, which was to eliminate hidden dangers, manage Jiangnan well, and wait for the right time.
Now that he understood Wang Yue's intention, Yang Xiao started the battle very measuredly. He did not rush into battle as he did when he swept across the Yangtze River. Instead, he advanced slowly and methodically, leaving General Dong who was preparing for a sneak attack helpless.
Several prefectures and counties near the seaside in the Wu Dynasty had dense waterways. They were quickly occupied under the deterrence of the Ming Navy's ships and artillery.
Although General Dong was very good at fighting, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and all their logistics were cut off.
In order not to be trapped in the isolated city, he had no choice but to fight and retreat all the way to Haozhou, and then he quickly sent people to Tokyo for help.
The young emperor Zhou Zhe originally thought that Master He's method was feasible, but he didn't expect the Wu Dynasty to be so tough.
After he received the news from the front line, he sat down on the dragon throne. He stretched out his hand anxiously and shouted, "Please invite Prime Minister Qin to come to court!"
