Chapter 262 The Emperor also began to cherish his reputation
"Greetings to your majesty, empress!"
"Your Majesty, this is the eight hundred miles urgent document just sent from Datong!"
Liu Rushi came to the Imperial Study Room to report the report eagerly, and handed the official document to Zhu Cixiang as he spoke.
Seeing His Majesty and His Majesty sitting on the Dragon Throne lovingly together, His Majesty held her in his arms and refused to let her go even though he wanted to read eight hundred miles of urgent documents. He was envious and filled with emotion.
She estimated that no concubine in the past dynasties could be as favored as the Red Lady, and Zhao Feiyan was not as good as Concubine Yang.
Although she is not a queen, she is better than a queen. The royal rules are just a fiction to her. She can do whatever she wants, dress however she wants, and leave the palace when she wants to relax.
Then his eyes secretly turned to Zhu Cixiang who was reading the official document carefully, and a look of obsession and admiration appeared on his face.
Naturally, the red lady couldn't escape her gaze at this scene. If she glanced at Liu Rushi meaningfully, she was so frightened that the latter quickly lowered his head. In addition to being nervous and apprehensive, a layer of fine beads appeared on his forehead.
After all, spying on the emperor is a great crime of disrespect.
Originally, Zhu Cihong planned to make Liu Rushi the Director of Propaganda Supervision. Later, when Liu Xinlan became pregnant, he made her the Deputy Supervisor of the Inner Court, temporarily coordinating all the supervisors of the Inner Court. It could be said that she rose to the top in one step.
And Liu Rushi did live up to Zhu Cixiang's trust. Apart from being a little uncomfortable at first, he gradually got used to it and far surpassed Liu Xinlan in management, which also allowed Zhu Cixiang to have the energy and time to create people with his concubines every day.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Cihong chose Liu Rushi to take over this important position was mainly because of her character and integrity rather than her ability.
After all, as the chief steward of the inner court, you must first not have selfish motives and deal with things fairly and impartially, let alone engage in corruption for personal gain.
Otherwise, the atmosphere of the entire inner court will be ruined. Various restrictions mean that eunuchs with physical defects are not suitable to serve as chief eunuchs at all, and intact men are even less suitable. Therefore, they can only be held by women, and they are also
She cannot be the emperor's woman.
"Damn it, these damn nomadic tribes want to run to the Hetao area where they can't graze their cattle. I want them to know that the Hetao area is their hell."
Zhu Cixiang slammed the official document on the table and cursed angrily.
The red lady was okay, but Liu Rushi on the side was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she couldn't close her mouth in shock.
This was the first time she had seen the little emperor be so arrogant and angry, and she never expected that the emperor would use vulgar words like a common man after being angry, which completely subverted the previous image of the little emperor in her mind.
What's more, she is still puzzled. She has read the contents of the official document on the way. In her opinion, it should be a good thing. Even if it is not a good thing, it is not a big deal. The little emperor has never seen any big storms, how can he be so angry?
?
"Your Majesty, what happened in Datong? Did a tribe rebel?"
The red lady was also quite surprised and immediately expressed concern.
"Read it for yourself, my beloved concubine!" Zhu Cixiang handed the official document to her, and when he saw Liu Rushi looking at him in surprise, he realized that he had just revealed his true colors, but he didn't care much.
As an emperor, there is no need to pretend to be a gentleman.
The red lady also sat up straight, took the official document and read it. After reading it, she was also furious and cursed: "It's unreasonable. A small tribe with tens of thousands of people actually wants to occupy our Hetao. How dare you
Sending envoys to ask for trade with our Ming Dynasty is simply a matter of life and death."
After saying this, his face was full of murderous intent. How much His Majesty attaches importance to protecting the ecological environment of the Yellow River can be seen from the fact that he is prepared to move the entire northwest population to the Central Plains.
But now, as soon as the people of the Tumut tribe were moved to the Liaohe area and the Hetao area was cleared out, a small tribe from Mobei was occupied again. No wonder the little emperor was so angry.
"Mom, please calm down, be careful of fetal contractions."
Liu Rushi on the side became even more confused when she saw that the red lady also had an angry face, but she still said something in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Although this small tribe in Mobei is indeed hateful, we can just let Huang Degong go and destroy it." The red lady ignored Liu Rushi and instead comforted Zhu Cihong.
"Not to mention a small tribe of ten thousand people, I don't even pay attention to a large tribe of hundreds of thousands of people. What I am worried about is that the spring breeze will come again and the wildfire will not burn out."
Zhu Cixi waved his hand, and it would take at least several years to completely conquer Mobei and Moxi.
"Yes, if they hadn't taken the initiative to send envoys to Datong this time, I'm afraid we still wouldn't know. I estimate that after destroying this small tribe, there will probably be more tribes coming. It's not cost-effective to send troops to garrison, and it's impossible to prevent them. It's definitely not possible." Red Lady.
He also nodded, obviously understanding his worries.
"This is natural. There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Huang Degong cut off all the heads of the Tatars, build a big temple under the Yin Mountain, and erect a monument to warn them? Let's see which tribe dares to come and die!"
The red lady suddenly said after thinking about it.
Liu Rushi's face turned pale and she shuddered. She didn't expect that the imperial concubine could be so cruel and would cut off people's heads at every turn. How could these words come from the imperial concubine?
I couldn't help but sweat for her. Who would have thought that His Majesty, instead of being displeased at all, actually said with bright eyes: "Well, what a good idea, just do what you want. Kill as many as you come. The Hetao area must be protected."
In fact, he could also choose to use the Hetao area as a temptation to continuously attract nomadic tribes to come here and eliminate them, but compared to annihilating some nomadic tribes, he cares more about the ecological environment of the Yellow River and does not even want to delay for a moment.
After all, if all the upper reaches of the Yellow River are cleared this year, the results will be seen within three to five years. In ten or twenty years, the Yellow River will probably become clear.
"If so, immediately follow the concubine's suggestion and draft an order. After I have reviewed it, I will send it directly to the Anton Protectorate."
"Ah! It's Your Majesty, I'll go right away..."
Liu Rushi also woke up from her silly state, replied quickly, and then trotted out of the imperial study room.
She finally understood why the imperial concubine was so favored. It turned out that His Majesty and she were the same kind of people.
In just half a quarter of an hour, Liu Rushi hurriedly ran into the imperial study room again with an imperial edict in his arms. Zhu Cixiang just read it briefly, then took out the special governor's seal and prepared to stamp it. The red lady on the side thought.
After thinking for a while, he stopped and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing is a bit cruel after all. These military orders must be archived, or else the left governor should seal them."
"Okay!" Zhu Cixiang didn't refuse her kindness even after thinking about it. It was really not appropriate for the emperor to directly order such a thing.
Although he said that as long as he lays down a large territory for China, even if he is a devil, future generations will only worship and admire him, but when I think about the brainless trolls in later generations, I feel that I should pay more attention to it, at least not leave any ironclad evidence.
