Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 272 Don't Guess My Thoughts
Li Cunming was very satisfied with the vigorous atmosphere presented by Hangzhou Textile Factory.

Du Chen ordered all the inventory in the factory and paid in installments for various reasons. However, from this alone, the Hangzhou Textile Factory earned millions of taels of silver, which made Li Cunming even more happy.

"Du Chen, I didn't treat you badly, did I?" Li Cunming said with a smile at the evening banquet.

"Needless to say, by cooperating with His Majesty, we Portuguese are going to make a fortune!" Du Chen grinned from ear to ear. In addition to the cloth business, there are also large-scale businesses such as porcelain, glass, and tea waiting for him.

"Prosperity together, prosperity together!" Li Cunming laughed heartily, and said, "I have not treated you Portuguese badly, and you should repay your kindness. I have nothing else to ask for. When you send people to sell goods in Europe, if there is I bought more advanced artillery and muskets, remember to bring some back to me.”

Du Chen blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty needs to pay for it."

"There are no traitors, no businessmen, you Westerners are full of money in your heads." Li Cunming joked and said with a smile, "But to be honest, I still like dealing with businessmen. You Westerners have set your position and only acted as businessmen. , stop thinking about those messy things, the Ming Dynasty will always welcome you."

After drinking and drinking, Li Cunming greeted Yao Qisheng to the study and said, "Yao Aiqing, I'm going to Jiaxing Mansion tomorrow, and I have something to tell you."

Yao Qisheng said: "Does Your Majesty want to abolish the policy of moving borders and banning seas?"

"That's right! Since you have already thought about this matter, then deal with it with your heart. I only have one request, which is to treat the people kindly. If the people's resentment boils over again and the people are forced to dig your ancestral grave, I will But I won’t help you make up for it.”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the abolition of border transfer and sea ban is a benevolent government, and the people will not complain." Yao Qisheng said with confidence.

Li Cunming nodded, and announced the decree: "Yao Qisheng, I have won a great victory in the Southern Expedition. You have made great contributions. I named you Ding Haibo. You will continue to serve as the governor of Fujian, guarding one side for me, and benefiting the people."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Yao Qisheng kowtowed to thank him.

Li Cunming had a sudden whim, and intentionally teased Yao Qisheng: "Why don't I let Li Xiangjun stay in Fujian to accompany you?"

"Oh, I'm drunk, take your leave, take your leave..." Yao Qisheng stood up and ran.

Two days later, Emperor Luan arrived at Jiaxing Mansion.A temple has been rebuilt at the former site of Baiyun nunnery outside the city, and it is still called Baiyun nunnery.

In the afternoon of this day, the emperor personally went to Baiyun Temple to pay homage to Liu Rushi. He read a memorial in front of the hanging coffin and held a grand ceremony.

Many officials and gentry came from Baiyun Nunnery, and they gathered in an open space.Surrounded by mighty and majestic soldiers, the swords were fierce, and the officials and gentry were terrified, and the sweat on their foreheads could not be wiped clean.

Li Cunming paid homage to Liu Rushi, walked out of the mountain gate, and said loudly: "Come on, take the prisoner!"

After a while, two prison cars rolled by.People looked up and saw two criminals who were neither human nor ghost standing in the prison car, one of them was Lin Shidui, and the other was Liu Xuan, the prefect of Jiaxing Prefecture.

When the two criminals were dragged out of the prison car by Jin Yiwei and tied to the stakes, Xia Wanchun read out their crimes.Then there were two executioners standing in front of them, slashing at each other.

Hearing the screams of these two people, the fine sweat on the foreheads of the officials and gentry turned into bean-sized beads of sweat and rolled down.Many people's faces were ashen, almost fainted from fright.

Li Cunming looked at the officials and gentry, and said coldly: "I know that many of you, like Lin Shidui, used to be members of the Donglin Party and are dissatisfied with the various actions of the imperial court in the past three years."

"I really tell you, I am not afraid of your dissatisfaction, and I am not afraid of your dissatisfaction. Compared with the people of the world, you are just a drop in the ocean! But I still want to warn you, no matter who they are, they still want to engage in party disputes and If you want to be an enemy of the common people in the world, there is only one way to die."

"Do you see? There are two paths in front of you. One is to follow Liu Rushi's example and care about the country and the people, and you will get my understanding and praise; the other is to be like Lin Shidui and Liu Xuan, continue to be stubborn and continue to If you can't understand the overall situation, then you can't blame me for being rude."

With these words, the officials and gentry hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "We should take Liu Rushi as an example, focus on the overall situation, and think about the common people in the world!"

Li Cunming sneered, waved his hands and said, "I don't just want to listen to what you say, but also how you do it. Let's go, so many people gather together, it's not good to disturb Liu Rushi's soul."

The officials and gentry dispersed, feeling that their legs were weak and their walking was unsteady.Thinking about what His Majesty said, they still felt lingering fears in their hearts. They also thought that with Liu Rushi's death, the Donglin Party would be completely disorganized and would withdraw from the stage of history.

Li Cunming's heart was like an arrow, and he was in a hurry to go back to Nanjing City, so the army was stationed outside the city tonight, and could be on the road early tomorrow morning.

Lin Shidui and Liu Xuan's screams continued until the evening, and finally died.

With a pale complexion, Li Xiangjun came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and asked: "Your Majesty, I want to accompany Miss Liu in Baiyun Nunnery. Since then, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has passed away. Please allow me."

Li Cunming said calmly: "I know, you can go or stay as you wish."

Li Xiangjun hesitated to speak, felt a sense of loss for no reason, thinking to himself that His Majesty the Emperor is really a straight man of steel, why did he agree so easily, and didn't want to keep him?
Standing dryly for a while, seeing the emperor buried his head in the memorial, Li Xiangjun thanked him, turned around and left the tent.

At night, Li Xiangjun was keeping watch for Liu Rushi, burned some paper money, watched the flames swaying, and became dazed.

"Sister Xiangjun, I heard His Majesty said you want to stay in Baiyun Nunnery, right?" Chen Yuanyuan walked into the mourning hall.

"Yes, I have nothing to worry about anymore. From now on I just want to be a person who doesn't care about worldly affairs." Li Xiangjun looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "If His Majesty asks you to persuade me, don't bother yourself. I'm determined. What an idea!”

"You may be mistaken. Your Majesty didn't ask me to persuade you at all. I wanted to come by myself." Chen Yuanyuan said.

Li Xiangjun was taken aback again, thinking to himself that he was acting affectionate again, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about her life or death at all, so he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, ashamed, angry and annoyed.

Chen Yuanyuan seemed to see through Li Xiangjun's mind, and said bluntly: "In my opinion, you don't want to stay in Baiyun Nunnery, but you still want to follow His Majesty, don't you?"

"I... I didn't, don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing!"

"Why are you embarrassed to admit it? Sister Xiangjun, I used to be just as depressed as you. Later, I followed His Majesty on various expeditions. My horizons were broadened and my mind was broadened. I really feel that the worries and depression of our daughter's family are nothing to mention. It's just pretentious and pointless moaning. I can see that you already like life in the military camp and being a nurse, right? "

Li Xiangjun was caught in the heart, and murmured: "But...but His Majesty didn't keep me, how could I go back on my word and stay in the barracks with the cheek?"

Chen Yuanyuan chuckled and said, "You still don't know how to deal with His Majesty. Let me tell you, our Majesty has a thick skin. When you get along with him, you have to learn to be thicker!"

Just at this time Li Cunming took Ren Qi outside the mourning hall, and when he heard Chen Yuanyuan's words, he frowned and cursed secretly, you Chen Yuanyuan, you are slandering me again.

I heard Li Xiangjun ask very curiously: "Sister Yuanyuan, I really can't figure out His Majesty's temperament, what kind of person do you think he is?"

"I don't quite understand either. The heart of an emperor is as deep as the sea, and it's hard to fathom. Especially our Majesty, it's like he can change his face. Sometimes he kills decisively, sometimes he smiles, sometimes his heart is as hard as iron, and sometimes he can change his face. Bodhisattva heart, he is the most complicated man in the world!"

Chen Yuanyuan went on and on: "Take your Majesty's attitude towards women, it is even more confusing. You can say that he is infatuated, but he is always unprincipled, and an emperor is often a bit ruffian; but you can say that he is infatuated. He is obsessed with beauty, but he is slandering, so far he only has two women in the palace, Queen Zhou and Concubine Yuan, and by the way, there is only a little fox, Black Peony."

Li Xiangjun sighed: "Hearing what you said, I can't understand His Majesty even more. Sister Yuanyuan, who do you think His Majesty's favorite woman is?"

Li Cunming stood outside the door, pursing his lips, thinking that women really gossip.

Chen Yuanyuan said: "According to my observation, it should be Empress Zhou. You don't know how good His Majesty treats the Empress. Last year he took the Empress for a ride in a four-wheeled carriage. The common people in Nanjing city said they were gods and couples!"

"What about you?" Li Xiangjun looked at Chen Yuanyuan.

"What am I?"

"Do you like Your Majesty?"

Chen Yuanyuan blushed all of a sudden, and said falteringly: "I...I, oh, you damn girl, why did you get involved with me? I should be the one to ask you, do you want to stay in the barracks as a nurse? ?”

"I think you like Your Majesty!" Li Xiangjun giggled, and said, "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that His Majesty actually cares about you very much. I'm just wondering, Your Majesty usually doesn't shy away from you. People flirt with you face to face, why don't you show your mind?"

Chen Yuanyuan pouted her lips and said angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll ignore you! Besides, His Majesty didn't flirt with me. He'll just mess around with the little vixen, Black Peony."

Ren Qi almost laughed out loud, but thanks to Li Cunming's quick eyesight and quick hands, he covered Ren Qi's mouth and dragged him away.

After leaving the mourning hall, Li Cunming let go.

Ren Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on Chen Yuanyuan? If you are embarrassed to tell the truth, I will go and explain it to you, or you might as well tie Chen Yuanyuan up at night and put her on your dragon couch."

"Ren Qi, you are such a bandit!" Li Cunming raised his brows and said, "Don't guess what I'm thinking, you won't be able to figure it out after guessing."
