Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 188 The Beautiful Lie
Wang Shouren was embarrassed to persuade him any further, but he couldn't leave.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go dispatch troops and dispatch generals. Don't worry about me. I don't know what His Majesty is thinking. I just want His Majesty not to be stigmatized as a tyrant."

"Hush!" Hearing what Li Dongyang said, Wang Shouren quickly put his finger on his lips, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Your Majesty Li, you must be cautious in what you say!"

Li Dongyang chuckled, waved his hands and said, "Lord Wang, hurry up and deal with your business, I don't care about the old man's business."

After all, Li Dongyang looked straight at the empty dragon chair and ignored Wang Shouren.

Seeing Li Dongyang's persistence, Wang Shouren shook his head helplessly, and decided to tell Li Dongyang the truth.

"Lord Li, you'd better get up first. Let me tell you carefully, Your Majesty is not what you think."

"Isn't it what I thought?"

Li Dongyang originally didn't intend to pay attention to Wang Shouren, but he heard what he said.Immediately asked: "Why did Lord Wang say such a thing?"

Wang Shouren explained earnestly: "Your Majesty is a Mingjun, so how could you deliberately increase the number of killings? Although Your Majesty told me to exterminate the branch of King Lu, you know one thing, but you don't know the other."

Li Dongyang's eyes widened and he looked at Wang Shouren.

This Liaodong general is the youngest among all the officers. He seems to have really fulfilled the saying: Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!
It is really not easy for him to read the words from His Majesty's simple words.

"Your Majesty means that if there are soldiers who take up arms to resist, they will be killed. If anyone surrenders, they will be spared."

"The reason why His Majesty said this in the hall is that His Majesty is worried that there are other eyes and ears in the court, and wants to use this matter to shock them."

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Li Dongyang seemed to have suddenly realized something, staggered his kneeling body, stood up quickly, held Wang Shouren's hand tightly, and said, "Master Wang, is what you said true?"

Wang Shouren nodded heavily, and said calmly: "Lord Li was too emotional in the hall, so it is naturally difficult to understand His Majesty's meaning."

"If Lord Li doesn't believe it, you can go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and ask His Majesty for clarification."

Li Dongyang had the idea of ​​slapping himself in the mouth, but he was too impulsive to mess up a well-established matter.

However, no matter what, according to Wang Shouren's statement at the moment, there is still a big turning point for this matter.

Not long after, Li Dongyang's complexion eased a lot, he cupped his hands and said to Wang Shouren: "Master Wang, thank you for your guidance!"

Wang Shouren, who looked a little panicked, hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Li Ge is too polite, if there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

After retiring from the court, Zhu Houzhao returned to the imperial study.

In fact, he was still a little angry today. Li Dongyang really didn't know what happened, but Dang Chao actually contradicted him, and said that he would keep kneeling if he didn't change. Well, he has the backbone to keep kneeling!

At this time, Princess Yunluo trotted in.

"Brother Huang, something big has happened, something big has happened, go and have a look!"

"What's going on?" Zhu Houzhao looked at his sister in shock. She was never like this on weekdays. ,

Zhu Xiurong's voice seemed a little anxious, but she quickly told Zhu Houzhao the ins and outs of the matter.

Zhu Houzhao got up suddenly, and Zhu Xiurong followed him and ran outside.The two brothers and sisters strode out of the imperial study room and walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Zhu Xiurong followed Zhu Houzhao, out of breath from exhaustion.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to read for a while after retiring from the court, and let the Jiangnan nuns come and dance with him, but Zhu Xiurong ran in in a hurry and told him that his cousin, Zhang Xuan, had something wrong with her nerves and was Suicide!

This made Zhu Houzhao feel very weird. Zhang Xuan's personality has always been very lively, but I don't know why today, so he has to do such a stupid thing?

"Brother Huang, wait a moment, slow down, my cousin is not in the Compassion Palace right now."

Princess Yunluo caught up with Zhu Houzhao and said loudly to him.

"She's not in the Compassion Palace, where is she?" Zhu Houzhao stopped and asked.

"She's in the imperial garden, go, I'll take you to find her."

Zhu Xiurong took Zhu Houzhao's hand and walked towards the Royal Garden, he was a little confused, it's a good day, why should he commit suicide?
However, this younger sister of hers would say that she was in the Palace of Compassion and Ninggong, and that she was in the Imperial Garden for a while, and she was always talking about running the train.

Zhu Houzhao followed Zhu Xiurong to the Imperial Garden.

As soon as he entered the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao heard a group of women laughing and chasing.

Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Xuan playing with some beautiful girls from Jiangnan. They were running happily and seemed to be having a great time.

Where is this suicide?

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xiurong.

"Brother Huang, I didn't lie to you. My cousin just wants you to die. I really didn't lie to you."

These show girls are the first batch of show girls to enter the palace. They have lived in the palace for more than two months and are familiar with the rules of the palace. After Jiangnan show girls were favored, they felt that they would never see each other again When they arrived at the emperor, they also arranged their own way out one after another.

Some have a good relationship with Ouyang Jing and try to stay in the palace, even if they are maids of honor, at least they have the possibility of rising like Bai Xue.

If it is really impossible to win His Majesty's favor, it is much better to wait for them to save a certain amount of silver and then leave the palace to get married than to be deported to their original place.

There are also some show girls who try to get along with Princess Yunluo and Zhang Xuan. They would rather not marry for the rest of their lives and hang out with them in the harem all day than serve others.

This is also a road. Zhu Houzhao's second mother and third mother took this road.

Although all of them want to be favored by His Majesty, this matter can only be met but not sought.

Zhang Xuan was fascinated by a beautiful flower. She didn't know that Zhu Xiurong had called the emperor to her side. Although she hadn't seen her cousin for a long time, she still insisted that it was best not to disturb him.

The cousin was already overwhelmed with dealing with state affairs, so she thought it best not to add to the chaos.

Zhu Houzhao gave Zhu Xiurong a hard look, but there was nothing he could do about her.

"Is this the method of suicide you want to talk about?"

Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Xuan standing there admiring a gorgeous flower.

"Brother Huang, if I don't say that my cousin is looking for death, can you come?"

"You enter the imperial study as soon as you go to court, you are busy all day long, and you know you are busy all day long."

"Come on, let me take you to meet my cousin!"

"Cousin, who do you see coming?"

Princess Yunluo happily took Zhu Houzhao's hand, and ran happily towards Zhang Xuan.

Among these beautiful girls, some had seen the face of the emperor, so they hurriedly put down their work and knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao one by one.
