The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin was confused.

Zhu Houzhao took the imperial edict back proudly.

Yan Chengjin couldn't help asking: "Why did His Majesty give the imperial edict to Your Highness? Where is Wang Shouren?"

"My father is selecting concubines in the palace. Wang Shouren, that fool, was sent home by me." Zhu Houzhao danced with joy: "I have said that the dog emperor also loves beauties. My father is selecting concubines in the palace."

Love you!

Zhang Mao couldn't listen any longer. He sighed and walked away.

Yan Chengjin frowned: "Your Highness, don't you think it's strange?"

"What do you mean, Lao Gao?" Zhu Houzhao was furious.

"Why did Your Majesty become like this? It's really unbelievable. I'm afraid Your Majesty has depression."

"Lao Gao, you are not a doctor, how do you know?"

…………

In the Qianqing Palace,

The music of bells and drums sounded, the palace maids danced in the palace, and the imperial table was filled with delicacies.

Emperor Hongzhi was wearing a loose gauze dress, his clothes were untidy, revealing a piece of his body in front, and his hair was not combed, just hanging down, lazy and a bit ruffian.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others all stood aside, sighing sadly.

When did your majesty indulge himself like this?

Emperor Hongzhi was fully focused, writing with a smile: "I want to take concubines, first take ten people, what do you think?"

Liu Jian and others were shocked: "Your Majesty, please put state affairs first!"

Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly, so unruly, and stood up: "When I first ascended the throne, I didn't want to take concubines, you impeached me one after another, now I want to take concubines, but you don't allow it."

Li Dongyang looked flustered, what on earth happened to your majesty.

After Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly, his face was still full of smiles and he was in high spirits: "I just realized that Wang Yue's poems are well written!

The scenery of the four seasons is beautiful, how can I not be happy.

Five buckets of wine in the morning, a hundred pots of wine in the evening, drunk and sober, sober and drinking again,

Others say that I like to drink, but how can I be a real drunkard.

I don't carry Liu Ling's hoe, nor do I carry Huang Gong's pot.

I am not a strange man, nor am I a cheap man.

If you use it, you will benefit the world, if you abandon it, you will be trapped in a poor house.

The teachings of the saints are like this, how can you get rich and noble without justice.

Occasionally, I sigh after reciting the poem, the bright moon fills the courtyard and I am lonely."

After reciting the poem, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, your poems are too boring."

Li Dongyang was anxious. What happened to His Majesty? His temperament changed so much that he even talked about taking a concubine.

Xiao Jing dared not say a word and stood aside. That night, His Majesty sat in the Fengtian Hall for half the night, and suddenly laughed out loud, changed his crown and robes, and only wore this light gauze dress.

He also watched the dancing of the courtesans in the palace and ordered the kitchen to prepare delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

At first, he thought that His Majesty was bored, but who knew that he was simply crazy.

Li Dongyang and Xiao Jing secretly exchanged glances: "Where is the queen?"

"I have sent someone to invite her."

Emperor Hongzhi shouted: "I want to select concubines. All outstanding girls in the folk can enter the palace to select concubines. I ordered it yesterday. Why haven't you come yet?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, they are coming."

Dozens of graceful and graceful figures, the girls stepped lightly on the lotus steps, walked into the hall, and the clothes they wore were like the seven fairies, each with its own characteristics.

The only thing in common is that they all look like lotus flowers emerging from the water, fresh and beautiful, one in a million.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, walked to the concubines, and began to select them.

"The Queen is here!"

Li Dongyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Jian's cloudy old eyes lit up, and everyone looked at the palace door.

Empress Zhang walked into the palace with dignity, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I want to take a concubine, what do you think?"

Empress Zhang still had tears on her face, and comforted him: "Your Majesty wants to spread the rain and dew widely, so I shouldn't say anything more, but..."

"That's good, the Queen still understands me." Emperor Hongzhi looked at the concubines and was unmoved.

All officials were helpless, even Empress Zhang's arrival was useless.

Outside the Forbidden City,

Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao were rushing back to the palace, entering the Meridian Gate and heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

The ministers were standing outside the palace at a loss.

"Your Highness, Yan Chengjin and the prince are here."

Empress Zhang came out of the Qianqing Palace: "Mr. Yan, I have something to say to you!"

This Empress Zhang is completely different from the Zhang brothers. It seems that she has absorbed all the intelligence of the Zhang brothers. She is not stupid, which makes him a little uneasy.

When he arrived at the Guangting outside the palace, the guards were standing around.

Empress Zhang said: "I heard that His Majesty became like this because he listened to your advice to rectify the Beijing camp!"

Yan Chengjin bowed and saluted: "I am guilty of not refusing."

After not seeing Empress Zhang speak for a long time, he raised his head slightly.

Empress Zhang held up his hand: "I have slept with Your Majesty for more than ten years. I know that Your Majesty must be in great pain at this moment. It is not His Majesty's original intention to take a concubine, but I don't know how to comfort him. The three people in the cabinet are useless. You can perceive the evils of the Beijing camp. You must have something extraordinary. I would like to ask you to persuade His Majesty."

It is very rare that Empress Zhang is willing to put down her face and ask him.

Yan Chengjin pondered it carefully, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person and I am not good at speaking. However, I can give it a try. Please don't put all your hopes on me. I feel uneasy."

"As long as I am here, you can do it with confidence."

Empress Zhang ordered Li Dongyang and others to come out.

Yan Chengjin stepped into the bedroom, and the scene before him shocked him. He saw Emperor Hongzhi wearing a long gauze robe, looking back and forth in front of several beautiful ladies.

Suave and dissolute, he is completely different from the image of the wise king yesterday.

Emperor Hongzhi saw Yan Chengjin and smiled kindly: "Don't the Yan Qing family like the gold medal for immunity from death the most? I will give it to you as much as you want."

The little eunuch was holding a tray with fifteen death-free gold medals in it.

Yan Chengjin took a look and secretly kept the number in mind.

Your Majesty is really stingy. There are so many in the palace. Every time he wants a piece, he asks his grandfather to tell his grandmother.

"I don't want it."

Emperor Hongzhi was very interested: "Oh, why?"

Yan Chengjin knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty can give it to me at will today, and you can take it back at will tomorrow. Although I love the gold medal for immunity from death, but without the gold medal for immunity from death, it is just a pile of scrap metal and has no meaning." For eggs.”

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "The gold medal for immunity from death is a royal token. If you are so slanderous, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

"Afraid!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Emperor Hongzhi said casually: "I know, it was the queen who asked you to persuade me to go back."

Yan Chengjin responded, got up and left the dormitory.

Queen Zhang hurriedly stepped forward: "How is your majesty?"

Yan Chengjin bowed: "Your Majesty is not confused."

Li Dongyang sighed: "The noise in the air is serious. It is normal for Your Majesty to be like this."

Wang Shouren and Yan Chengjin didn't remonstrate, so how could such a thing happen?

"Please give me three days. I am 70% sure that your Majesty will change his mind." Yan Chengjin said.

Li Dongyang rolled his eyes. In three days, he had finished choosing his concubines.

Empress Zhang's eyes were full of hope: "If the Yan Qing family has any ideas, please tell them and discuss them with all the other Qing families."

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"..." Queen Zhang.
