In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 298

In ancient times, especially during the Song and Ming dynasties, as long as you received a serious Confucian education, no matter how shameless and treacherous you were at heart, you would subconsciously pretend to be a gentleman on the outside.

So at this moment, Zhang Yan was a little panicked when she saw Lin Rui, a majestic emperor, being so careless about his image in public.

However, Lin Rui has not received Confucian education. He is a casual and free-spirited person and does not bother to pretend to be a gentleman like the scholar-bureaucrats of this era.

So in the face of Zhang Yan's righteous words, she just said lightly: "My queen, please don't go online. This is my back garden. What's the matter with me having sex with my own woman?"
I am the emperor. If I want to pretend to be a moral gentleman in private, I have to pay attention to this but cannot do that. Then what is the point of being an emperor?
I am not that Emperor Chongzhen, nor am I your Carpenter Emperor. I will never live as tiringly as them. "

After Lin Rui finished speaking, he saw that she refused to drink the wine he fed her, so he raised his neck and drank it all.

"Give it to me!"

Seeing that Zhang Yan couldn't get away, and he still said such shameless words, she stopped struggling as if resigned to her fate, closed her eyes, and refused to pour him wine.

"It's okay if I don't want to dance. Now you even refuse to serve me a drink. It's too much!" Lin Rui said with some displeasure. After that, he hit her huge millstone hard.

"You...don't even think about it. The maids will do the pouring and feeding, and I am not a concubine who serves the king with sex."

Zhang Yan entered the palace at the age of 14 and was named a queen at the age of 15. She was taught to observe etiquette and propriety, admonish the emperor, and set an example for women in the world in every word and deed. At this moment, she subconsciously regarded herself as the queen. When she saw Lin Rui became more and more excessive, and couldn't help but retorted with anger on his pretty face.

"Oh, your Majesty doesn't want to use sex to serve you. How about I call your concubine here to serve you?" Lin Rui chuckled.

"do not…"

Sure enough, when Lin Rui mentioned the little princess, Zhang Yan was so frightened that she trembled all over and her tone suddenly softened.

At this time, I also thought of my current status, I am afraid I am not even a concubine, I sighed in my heart, poured a glass of wine tremblingly, and handed it to Lin Rui's mouth with tears in my eyes.

Seeing her like this, Lin Rui felt soft in his heart. In fact, he didn't want to play with Zhang Yan like this, but if he wanted to blame it, it was Zhang Yan who always acted in such a submissive manner, which made people want to stop.

If Zhang Yan was willing to sleep with him honestly, I'm afraid he would have lost much interest and turned his attention to the development of science and technology.

"That's right. Your Majesty, please remember that now you are no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, let alone the empress of the Ming Dynasty, but I, the woman of the Emperor of China."

Lin Rui then drank the wine in the cup with satisfaction, and then let her feed him mouth to mouth again.

When Zhang Yan heard this, she tilted her wine glass in shock and spilled all the wine on their chests. She threw the glass directly on the table, closed her eyes and waited for death: "Kill me!"

"Okay, seeing how scared you are, I finally understand why you were trying to win favor but couldn't win over a nanny from the Hakka family."

Lin Rui saw that she had a peerless face and a graceful and luxurious temperament, but she was so ignorant of taste. He finally understood why she was not favored in the first place. After all, not every emperor had his kind of mind.

"I don't need to compete for favor." Zhang Yan felt pain in her heart when she mentioned the past, she opened her eyes and said stubbornly.

"Okay, if you don't fight, I won't fight. If you don't fight, I will still love you..."

Lin Rui was also afraid that he would actually commit suicide after forcing her back, and would have no more fun in the future, so he turned her around and said softly.

In the past, when they were with Emperor Tianqi, the two of them had always treated each other with respect, and Chongzhen was even more respectful to Zhang Yan. This was the first time that Zhang Yan heard such love words between men and women. He was still a man so much younger than himself. At this moment, his cheeks While blushing, ripples arose in his heart. He didn't dare to look at Lin Rui at all, so he had to turn his head slightly to the side.

Lin Rui hugged her into his arms. Zhang Yan didn't struggle this time, but her body kept shaking.It wasn't until his nervousness completely calmed down that he raised his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Now that the new dynasty has just been established, the world is in ruins and is waiting for prosperity. Your Majesty actually has great ambitions. He should be diligent in state affairs and not spend all his time on concubines. For a woman, I obey your majesty tonight, please don't be so ridiculous from now on, okay?"

"How do you know I'm not diligent in state affairs?" Lin Rui was also stunned, especially her last tone that was close to pleading, which made goosebumps all over his body.

I secretly sighed in my heart. Fortunately, this girl didn't compete for favor. Otherwise, she would definitely be worse than those harem beauties in history who brought disaster to the country and the people. I'm afraid no emperor could stop her.

Hearing what Lin Rui said, Zhang Yan also sat up straight, her old habit relapsed, and said with a serious face: "If your Majesty is diligent in state affairs, he should be reviewing memorials in the imperial study room at this time, not here, here. Playing with concubines.

Your Majesty must be aware that if these memorials are not dealt with for one day, there will be another day of delay..."

At this moment, Zhang Yan was like a virtuous wife urging her husband who was not doing his job properly, and she became more and more energetic as she talked.

"Haha, your Majesty is very kind-hearted." Lin Rui couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw her being so serious.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing? Is what I said wrong?"

Seeing Lin Rui's reaction, Zhang Yan frowned, pushed away his mischievous hand and asked.

"Political affairs are the responsibility of the Government Affairs Council. If I really immerse myself in piles of memorials all day long, wouldn't I become Chongzhen?" Lin Rui let her go and picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it out. One cup, drink it all.

When Zhang Yan saw him mentioning Chongzhen, a trace of sadness appeared on her face. She opened her mouth and finally bit her lip and said: "The fifth brother is diligent in state affairs and may not be considered a saint, but the fall of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not his fault alone." , when he succeeded to the throne, the Ming Dynasty was already in deep trouble."

"The reason why the Ming Dynasty collapsed was indeed not Chongzhen's fault alone, but he must bear at least [-]% of the responsibility. To put it bluntly, he would not be an emperor at all."

Lin Rui didn't care that she was helping Chongzhen speak, and spoke politely. After she finished speaking, he saw that she looked indignant, so he added: "Don't be dissatisfied, the emperor should control the overall situation, formulate strategies, guide ideas, and specific details." Things should be done by specific people, and those who should delegate power should be delegated. The key is to make rewards and punishments clear, instead of being immersed in daily government affairs all day long.

As for whether the emperor was dissolute and extravagant, does it matter?It's not important at all. Look at Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of debauchery and immorality, who can compare with him?It’s not like he will become an emperor through the ages. "

"Wrong logic, the emperor is the son of heaven and the father of the king. If he is debauched and immoral, how can he set an example and set an example for the people in the world? Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, in terms of etiquette and filial piety, it was far inferior to our Ming Dynasty..."

The reason why Zhang Yan had to compromise was mainly for the sake of the little princess and the three princes, but she was not afraid of Lin Rui in her heart and started to argue with reason at this moment.

"Well, in this weather, talking about state affairs is really bad for the scenery. Let's talk about romantic affairs. What talents does the empress have?"

The private morality of the Tang Dynasty was indeed incomparable with that of the Ming Dynasty, especially the emperor. Although the Ming Emperor was ridiculous, almost no emperor had done anything that violated ethics, so Lin Rui had to wave his hand and change the topic.

He knew better than anyone else his position as an emperor, which was to formulate strategic plans, innovate various systems, and develop science and technology, not to fight in the north or south, or to deal with government affairs.

Just hold an inner and outer court meeting and a military meeting once a month, listen to reports, and then make strategic arrangements. The extra time can be used to engage in science and technology and enjoy life.

"I don't have much talent." Zhang Yan shook her head, but this time she was not so excited that she was dying.

"No way?" Lin Rui looked at her suspiciously.

"Only concubines can learn talents and please the emperor. I really haven't learned any talents. My only interest is painting." Zhang Yan had to explain, and also hinted that she was a queen before, not a concubine.

"In this case, let's go back to the palace."
