The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 213 Do you still want to eat dry food?
"I'm waiting to retire."

The civil and military officials, who were well prepared to be tools, bowed and left.

In a blink of an eye, only Zhu Houzhao, eleven women, and a few eunuchs were left in the hall.

Seeing that there was no one else, Zhu Houzhao immediately jumped down the stairs and looked at several women with raised eyebrows.

Not very calm.

"Well, from now on, we are husband and wife." Zhu Houzhao looked at the eleven women, nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

It's all because of how good it looks, but the performance is just so-so and barely acceptable.

In the eyes of the girls, although the voice was loud, it carried an innate sense of dominance and boldness.

But it also made them feel close.

The impression of the almighty Emperor Shengwu was brought closer again.

"Husband and wife should get along well and treat each other sincerely. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well.

But I will definitely not be like my father." Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

As he spoke, he habitually changed the subject and said with some displeasure: “You should also know my father, the previous Ming emperor, who doted on his wife too much and even ignored the law.

His two brothers-in-law should have died long ago, but he didn't care and even asked me to spare them.

Humph, don't let me know that they have committed a crime, or I will cut them into pieces immediately."

All the girls felt strange when they heard this. Can this be said directly?

Does Your Majesty (Emperor Shengwu) really have a deep father-son relationship with the late emperor?
Or, is His Majesty (Emperor Shengwu) really as casual as the rumors say?
"Speaking of my father, in the letter he left for me before he died, he also commemorated my getting married and having children.

I married eleven women at once, but he only married one in his life.

If he knew, he would be happy too." Zhu Houzhao looked a little sad again.

His emotions jumped so quickly that most of the girls were unable to react.

Of course, there were also those who reacted immediately.

"Your Majesty has achieved such great civil and military achievements that have shocked the world. The late emperor must be extremely happy and proud of Your Majesty in his netherworld." Bai Qing'er said sincerely with her pure big eyes.

Suddenly, pairs of eyes were directed at him.

The righteous women frowned: "As expected of a witch."

Yao Yue said disdainfully: "Humph."

"That's true. Although my father was not very successful as an emperor in his lifetime, the fact that he gave birth to me is already a great achievement that surpasses all the ancient and modern times.

When I unify the world, he will be regarded as the greatest emperor in history, hahaha." Zhu Houzhao's sad expression immediately turned into high spirits and he laughed loudly.

The girls were startled, including Bai Qing'er and Bai Fanghua, and they were all speechless: "..."

Suddenly, they felt that they had a clearer understanding of Emperor Shengwu again.

The thick outer layer and radiance were also peeled off.

What can we say about Emperor Shengwu?

They just felt weird.

Emperor Shengwu, who was a man of great talent, selfless, feared by countless heroes and under tremendous pressure, seemed to be a little moody and childish.

Although moody is not a nice word, they can only be described as childish.

Because of this moodiness, they do not feel pressure or tyranny.

I just felt like a naughty child.

Um...big kid.

Their thoughts flashed through their minds, but the girls would not make a judgment so easily.

"Your Majesty is right. When that day comes, the late emperor will surely follow Your Majesty and become famous throughout the ages." Bai Fanghua said decisively, with a bit of reverence on his dignified face.

As expected, he attracted many hostile looks.

Bai Fanghua and Bai Qing'er didn't care at all.

The two women's goals have always been clear: to compete for favor, compete for favor, and compete for favor.

Why would he care about the opinions of other concubines?

"Well said." Zhu Houzhao happily gave his affirmation and said loudly: "Don't call me the late emperor, call me dad from now on.

If my father heard so many daughters-in-law calling him dad, he would definitely be happy. "

"Yes."

These words were obviously spoken to all the girls, and the eleventh girl responded naturally.

"Let's not talk about our father for now. I will tell you in detail how good our father is later.

My father was not very good as an emperor, but as a father, he was the best in the world, and only I can surpass him in the future." Zhu Houzhao said proudly, with a bit of lingering feeling.

The girls were now completely certain.

The love between father and son is real.

The late emperor must have doted on Your Majesty immensely.

Your Majesty is truly extremely confident and competitive, even wanting to compete with others for being a father.

"Your Majesty, now that you have said this, I really want to hear it.

I have been without parents since I was a child, and have always envied other people's parents.

Although our father is no longer with us, it is still great to hear his good words." Bai Qing'er said with a hint of sadness and longing.

Zhu Houzhao felt some sincerity and was immediately touched. He strode forward and touched the little head, saying seriously: "Don't be sad, I have already said that my parents will be your parents in the future.

You don't know how good our parents are. Although they are dead and can't treat you well, I am the best husband in the world and I will definitely treat you well on their behalf."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe in Your Majesty." Bai Qing'er's eyes were a little dazed, and then immediately her eyes turned red and she smiled, showing a little more sincerity.

Although the words are a bit confusing, what does "for them" mean?
But none of that matters. What matters is that she feels a sense of sincerity.

Undisguised and frank sincerity.

For some reason, it seemed to hit her deep inside.

He reached out to hold Zhu Houzhao's other big hand, as if he had found support.

The other ten women watched, their eyes seeming to grow wider.

The righteous women's beautiful eyebrows frowned inadvertently.

Yao Yue's eyebrows raised, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, what a bitch.

The other women were also restless.

But at this moment, they also felt the sincerity, and their hearts were a little complicated.

Finally, everyone thought of the point in the words.

"They are all dead, the Queen Mother..."

The eleven extremely intelligent women understood.

That secret rumor might be true.

No wonder Your Majesty has a bad relationship with the two uncles-in-law.

Not entirely. Your Majesty showed no mercy to his own uncle either.

Except for Prince Ding Zhu Wusi, whose achievements and reputation were well-known, all the other uncles were stripped of their princely titles.

The main reason is still the impartiality and selflessness.

The women's thoughts continued to flicker, and Zhu Houzhao remembered to talk about business, "Okay, let's not talk about our father first, where was I just talking about?

Yes, it’s impossible for me to be like my father.

I--"

Just as he was about to wave his hand heroically, Zhu Houzhao felt an obstacle. He looked down and said nonchalantly, "Qing'er, let go first."

"Oh." Bai Qing'er responded obediently.

"Wow!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, his dragon sleeves rustling majestically, and said firmly: "Our family is supported by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty are our children.

So, whether it is you or our future sons and daughters, you must not treat the people of Ming badly, understand?"

"Yes."

Qin Mengyao, Jin Bingyun and other righteous women were shocked and said happily.

"Okay, let's talk about what you want to do in the future?
Or what are you good at?
No matter what you are good at or what you want to do, you can make contributions to our Ming Dynasty. "Zhu Houzhao said excitedly.

The women were startled again.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that I and others can choose what to do in the future? Instead of staying in the palace forever?" Jin Bingyun asked in shock.

The other girls were all like this, including Yao Yue, and they all had a faint sense of anticipation.

"Of course you can choose what to do. I don't know what you are good at or what you want to do, so I certainly can't arrange it for you directly.

You have to stay in the palace. This is our home. Where else do you want to go? " Zhu Houzhao glared at Jin Bingyun. He remembered this woman very clearly. Humph.

"Your Majesty, aren't there rules in the harem that say concubines are not allowed to interfere in government affairs and that concubines are not allowed to leave the palace without permission?" Yao Yue spoke. With her personality, she naturally could not allow other women to speak before her.

"What's the point of interfering in politics? As long as you have the ability, there's nothing you can't do." Zhu Houzhao looked nonchalant, puffed out his chest, and said proudly, "Besides, that was said to other emperors' concubines, how can my concubines be the same?

You all have the strength of the Xiantian realm, so of course you have to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. Do you want to just sit there and eat?"

The eyes of the girls all brightened slightly.

They are all women who came from the martial arts world. Who of them would be willing to be trapped in this palace forever?
"You must remember that this Ming Dynasty belongs to me, and you are my wife, so this Ming Dynasty also belongs to you.

So you must work hard to make the Ming Dynasty better, understand?" Zhu Houzhao said solemnly.

"Yes, I understand." The women all responded happily.

"Okay, now tell me what you want to do in the future?
There are still many things to do in the Ming Dynasty, and I feel that time is not enough. I don’t have much time to personally see and do many things.

For example, our family has more and more land, and the orphans and the elderly in the poorhouse, etc. Zhu Houzhao looked at his wives with a little expectation.

He really felt that these wives were his good helpers.

Can help him do a lot of things.

Hearing this, the women thought quickly in their hearts.

They felt that what His Majesty said was true, but what was the best thing for them to do?
"Your Majesty, I am confident that I can manage the royal industry well." Yao Yue spoke with confidence.

Most of the women frowned in their hearts. This was a royal business, and it was obvious that they were going to be the mistresses.

Wei Jinzhong, who kept his head down the whole time, had a strange flash in his eyes.

"Liu Jin, huh."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yao Yue seriously, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I will hand over all our land to you to manage.

But the rules I set cannot be changed. Remember, no matter what, the people are the most important. "

"Yes, I understand." Yao Yue said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to manage the food, clothing and other expenses in the palace for you." Bai Fanghua said generously and elegantly.
