Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 281 Putting eyeliner to monitor Xiang Wang's inner court power reshuffled again
Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully, and he really should put two women beside King Xiang.

For the key figures of the Emperor's faction, they should vigorously deploy eyeliners and strengthen monitoring in all aspects.

So Zhu Qiyu nodded vigorously, and asked Lin Xiangyu: "Prince Xiang is my own uncle, and I am really sorry that he has been exhausted all the way and traveled three thousand miles.

It is necessary to send two women to express filial piety. Can the princess think of a good candidate? "

Lin Xiangyu looked at Qianxue and Suxi who were beside Zhu Qiyu with a smile on her face.

Zhu Qiyu almost fell backward in fright, and quickly moved forward, protecting a pair of little sisters behind her.

Lin Xiangyu was taken aback when she saw this, and just as she was about to speak, Qianxue smiled wryly behind Zhu Qiyu: "Hey, husband doesn't need to protect us, and you don't enjoy our sisters anyway, so let's sacrifice a bit and make some contributions for husband .”

"Don't, don't, don't, you two little sisters are my pets, you can't give them away."

"Then you don't let the two of us serve the bed. The other sisters have the opportunity to be favored, but the two of us don't. If you stay at home and don't enjoy it, it's a waste of money. It's better to give it away for others to use."

Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, when it comes to the Flower Festival next month, even if you are old enough, just let the two of you sleep in bed. When the Flower Festival next year, I will give you two buds." .”

When Qianxue and Suxi heard this, they covered their mouths and kept laughing.

Zhu Qiyu only felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Do you really want to be played by me so much? I promised to let you sleep, but why are you so happy?"

Qianxue covered her waist, and replied with a smile: "My husband just sent his daughter to become a habitual offender, but my sister just glanced at us, and you actually think that my sister is going to send us out."

"Otherwise, did Yan'er have other intentions just now?"

Qianxue smiled and said: "The candidates for King Xiang have already been arranged, and the slave family is in charge of it personally. My sister just saw us because she wanted the slave family to report to her husband. Why do you think it is my sister who wants to send us out?" Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized when he heard the words: "Hey, I was shocked. It turned out to be like this. Since you have arranged it, then I don't care. Let's go to bed early."

……

On the 22th of the first lunar month, early in the morning.

King Xiang got up, had breakfast, and his followers had already packed their luggage.

Just as he was about to leave, the concierge sent in a post.King Xiang opened it and couldn't help laughing.Among the diners who ate at the same table in Jietianlou yesterday, a wealthy businessman from Jiangxi named Zhang Yan came to see him off together with the man from the capital named Li Xin.

King Xiang can see through the joints at a glance: he lives in Changsha, which is next to Jiangxi.The wealthy businessmen in Jiangxi got the opportunity, and rushed to curry favor with this prince. He would do business in Changsha in the future, and he could do something convenient for him.It is human nature for businessmen to seek profit.

As for that Li Xin, he was pulled by Zhang Yan as a foil.

As expected, Li Xin just sent some local products from Beijing to express his affection, while Zhang Yan was very enthusiastic and said to King Xiang very sincerely:
"Yesterday, when I met Tianlou, the villain was very negligent, and I felt quite uneasy. Your Highness is going here, the journey is exhausting, and the villain has nothing else to do. I present two women to relieve your highness. Please don't worry about it. To despise."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan clapped his hands, and two bright and charming women walked in, knelt down and saluted together.

King Xiang was about to refuse, but he just glanced down and changed his mind.

The two women have graceful and slender figures, and looks that are all over the country, but this is not the second.The key point is that these are two beauties from different races in the Western Regions, who are even more unique than Han women.

Just because of this exotic style, King Xiang decided not to refuse such an ingenious gift any more.

Accepting this gift will not only relieve boredom on the road, but also make the journey no longer boring.And after returning to the Changsha Palace, even if you don't want to use it anymore, if you sell the two top-quality beauties, you can easily sell them for 5 taels as soon as they change hands.

Mountains are not high, and immortals are named; water is not deep, but dragons are spiritual.

The exotic beauties used by King Xiang are not ordinary women, some wealthy businessmen are willing to pursue them, and it is not impossible to raise the price to 10 taels.

Thinking back to Jietianlou's lucrative business like robbery and money grabbing, King Xiang was naturally unwilling to refuse the 10 taels of silver that came to his door.

So King Xiang refused a few times, then reluctantly accepted.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan, who gave the gift, also thanked King Xiang for receiving the gift, which greatly satisfied King Xiang's vanity.

So King Xiang said with a smile to Zhang Yan: "In the future, when Mr. Zhang passes through Changsha on business, he will come to King Xiang's mansion. There is a hundred years of fine wine in the widow's mansion. Let's drink a few glasses at that time."

Zhang Yan and Li Xin thanked each other thousands of times before taking their leave.

After King Xiang sent the two away, he led his followers, two beauties, more than a hundred eunuchs and maids rewarded by the emperor, two tigers, and a bunch of rare birds and animals, and set foot on the journey home.

All the princes seemed to have negotiated, and all they could leave in the morning left, leaving only the King Min and the King of Soochow who were left in the capital by Zhu Qiyu.

With the departure of the princes, the ruling and opposition parties breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the princes have been cut down completely without real power, they still put a lot of pressure on the courtiers.If so many princes make trouble collectively, it will be extremely troublesome.

Fortunately, the princes neither delved into the matter of the ministers supporting the new monarch, nor expressed too much dissatisfaction with the subsequent defense of Beijing and the aftermath.

The princes must have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, but the fight between the emperor and the queen mother passed too quickly. In just one month, you came and went, and strange moves were frequently made.

During the period, a series of cruel and cruel methods such as poisoning, sticking, hanging, self-immolation, and Ling Chi made it impossible for the vassal kings to participate in depth.

Although everyone sympathized with the Supreme Emperor, no one was willing to lose their lives and lose their princes for this.

In the morning, the feudal kings left one after another, and in the afternoon, the power of the inner court underwent a small reshuffle again.

First of all, the chief eunuchs in the palaces of Queen Mother Sun, Queen Qian, and Queen Zhou made adjustments, and Gao Ping was officially appointed as the chief of Yinghua Palace.Ruan Rang also served as the head of the Changchun Palace, and Ruan Lang also served as the head of the Qianqing Palace.

Secondly, Ruan Xi was ordered by Zhu Qiyu to form a thousand pure army to guard the inner court.At this time, the formation of the Jing Army was completed, and Ruan Xi was promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and replaced Wang Jin, who was also in charge of the imperial seal.

Chen Mian took over the Du Zhi Prison, which was originally in charge of Ruan Xi.

Wang Jin, another veteran supervisor of ceremonies, stepped down as the imperial supervisor and took charge of the inner school.

From then on, Ruan Xi was in charge of the inner court guards, Zhang Yong, the admiral of the inner factory, was in charge of monitoring the entire imperial city, and Hao Yi, the head of the imperial horse supervisor, was in charge of defending the imperial city.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Xi dispatched a clean army to place guard posts around the Yinghua Palace, Changchun Palace, and Kunning Palace to guard against them around the clock.

After this series of changes in the inner court, the eleven eunuchs appointed by Zhu Qiyu before changed their positions and redistributed power again. Now even the Queen Mother Sun was confused, and she couldn't figure out who belonged to whom.
