    In ten years, many things have quietly changed.

    The ministers are no longer as angry as before, and their hot tempers are gradually getting better. This is a strange phenomenon, but it is also inevitable.  The emperor and nobles monopolized the profits of shipping, and money flowed into the palace treasury like running water. The inner treasury received more than the Ming Dynasty treasury every year. The ministers of the DPRK and China proposed many times to transfer part of the internal funds to the treasury. Zhu Houzhao showed up in this case  Their stance on the matter was quite resolute and they refused to let go. The ministers were all well-read poets and scholars. The financial system of the Ming Dynasty was also an ancestral system. The internal treasury and the state treasury were two completely separate systems. They were too embarrassed to grab it head-on.  .

    The revenue from the internal treasury is higher than that from the national treasury, which directly results in the ebb and flow of the arrogance of the monarchs and ministers. Zhu Houzhao's confidence is strong, but the arrogance of the ministers gradually declines. Sometimes the monarchs and ministers challenge each other because of certain state affairs, and Zhu Houzhao's upstart appearance  As soon as it was displayed, the ministers immediately turned off the fire.  It was only at this time that Zhu Houzhao deeply felt the benefits of money. Recalling everything Qin Kan said to him back then, the gratitude in his heart could not be expressed in words.

    What should change will always change, but the friendship between Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan is still as deep as before. If we talk about changes, the friendship is like old wine. Now it has become more and more mellow. The tacit understanding between the two is as good as real brothers.  , you can tell each other¡¯s meaning just by looking at each other.

    It is extremely precious to have such a confidant in life.

    Beside the chariot, a man who looked like a general of the border army suddenly moved slightly in the crowd. This man was tall and bearded, and his dark face was covered with wind and frost. He pressed the knife on the handle of his waist.  The knuckles on one finger were raised and the hands were covered with calluses. The whole person exuded a faint murderous aura.

    Zhu Houzhao seemed to be aware of it. He raised his hand to call the general over, pointed at him and smiled at Qin Kan: "Let's get to know each other. This is a brave general I met when I was in Xuanfu. His name is Jiang Bin"

    The general hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards Qin Kan and said in a loud voice like a bell: "The last guerrilla general of Xuanfu will lead the Yuzhou Guard to command Jiang Bin. I pay my respects to Mr. Qin."

    Qin Kan stared at him for a moment, then said with a smile: "General Jiang, if you can be appreciated by your majesty, it shows that General Jiang is indeed quite capable."

    "You will be ashamed of your compliments." Jiang Bin's attitude was very low. He was obviously a smart character. No matter how many military exploits he had made, he would not dare to show off in front of the notorious Ning Guogong.

    ***************************************************  ******************

    Annihilated more than 20,000 enemies.  The results of the emperor's personal conquests were indeed extraordinary. In terms of martial arts, they were comparable to those of the two late emperors Taizu and Yongle. When the results of the great victory in Yingzhou were reported to the capital, no one in the civil and military dynasties believed it, thinking that the emperor was so happy for his achievements.  .  After boasting, the cabinet temporarily dispatched two supervisors and censors from Juyongguan to personally go to Yingzhou and his party. Outside Yingzhou City, the corpses of Mongolian Tatars were scattered all over the mountains and fields. Is it true that the Tatars were only distinguished by their hairstyle and clothing?  You can tell at a glance. Besides, tens of thousands of people died in the battle between the two sides. It is impossible to fake this kind of thing.  The censor sent an urgent report to the capital, and all the civil and military officials in the court had to believe this shocking fact.

    Believing this fact, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty went ten miles out of the city to welcome the emperor in triumph. This was a veritable victory and well-deserved. If the courtiers did not welcome such a great victory, it would undoubtedly be a great loss of courtesy for courtiers. If the emperor were serious,  .  The factory guards would pick out a few negative examples from the courtiers and treat them to death for their various dissatisfactions.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Tigers and leopards were still roaring in the Leopard Room. On the days when Zhu Houzhao left Beijing, the eunuchs in the Leopard Room took good care of this zoo-like palace.

    Zhu Houzhao changed into Tuanlong uniform, stood outside the tiger cage and threw raw meat into it with great interest. About ten kilograms of fresh meat just fell into the cage.  The two tigers inside pounced on the meat fiercely, biting the meat fiercely, chewing it twice before swallowing it.

    Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone and he laughed with joy.  Liu Liangnv stood aside in palace clothes, covering her mouth and smiling softly.

    Ten years have passed, and Zhu Houzhao and Liu Liangnu have achieved success. Not only did they formally marry her, but they also gave her the title of imperial concubine, and her status in the palace was second only to the queen mother and empress.

    Since ancient times, the battles between concubines in the palace were cruel. Zhu Houzhao did not understand the affairs of these women's families, but Qin Kan had watched so many palace fighting dramas in his previous life. It was not for nothing. At Qin Kan's suggestion, Zhu Houzhao connected Liu Liangnv to the Leopard Room.  , except for the day when she married her, Liu Liangnu had never set foot in the palace for ten years. Even if Queen Xia had any intention of dealing with her, she could only be out of reach.

    Wearing a four-clawed python robe, Qin Kan walked into the leopard room in a hurry. Zhu Houzhao smiled brightly when he saw him, waved to him, pointed to the fresh meat in the bamboo basket next to him, and signaled Qin Kan to come and feed the tiger.

    Qin Kan picked up a piece of meat and threw it into the cage. The tiger still pounced fiercely and ate the piece of meat.

    Seeing his fierce appearance, Qin Kan couldn't help but praise: "What a beast."

    After saying this, Qin Kan hurriedly??Zhu Houzhao and Liu Liangnv performed the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. Zhu Houzhao waved his hands carelessly. Liu Liangnv pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word. Her demeanor was graceful and luxurious. She no longer looked like a poor woman who worked hard to sell wine in a shabby wine shop.  .

    The monarch and his ministers were talking. Liu Liangnu nodded to Qin Kan and then resigned and left. She had no friends in the leopard room and was lonely. She only had contact with the two ladies of the Qin family. Over the years, the three of them had  The girls already have a deep friendship, and they often visit each other, and they have become close friends.

    "How has the capital changed in the six months since I left the capital?" Zhu Houzhao asked absently, staring at the tiger cage.

    "Nothing has changed. It's just that His Majesty tricked the Juyong Pass into opening when he left Beijing. After entering the Pass, he ordered it to be closed and no one was allowed to enter again. The cabinet and the six ministers were rejected when they went out to chase His Majesty. The ministers were very angry at that time.  , Yang Ting and his Excellency gathered dozens of ministers in front of the Ancestral Temple and cried until the sky was dark and the earth was running wild, scolding His Majesty from the age of one to twenty-eight"

    Zhu Houzhao said bitterly: "These old bastards! If I didn't leave the capital, how would I have won the great victory in Yingzhou? This battle can earn me ten years of peace in the Ming Dynasty. Can anyone else do it? Ministers  Scold me, why are you staying in the capital? Why don't you help me stop it?"

    "At that time, I was also kneeling in front of the Ancestral Temple and scolding Your Majesty. Anyway, Your Majesty has already gone far away, and a scolding will not lose a piece of meat. Seeing the ministers' kindness, how can I not participate in the grand event? You can't be too isolated in life, you will be  isolated."

    Zhu Houzhao was furious: "You are a bastard too!"

    After being sulky for a while, Zhu Houzhao was in a much better mood. He had seen countless turmoils in the court over the years, and Zhu Houzhao had heard all the ugly words. The trivial matter of scolding him behind his back was really a breeze and the drizzle was not cold in the face.

    "Is there anything else new?" Zhu Houzhao glared at him.

    ¡°Also, my wife gave birth to another son, ¡®again¡¯!¡± Qin Kan emphasized the word ¡°again¡±.

    Zhu Houzhao felt bad all over, and his face quickly drooped.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out, and their relationship was as good as honey.

    With a sigh, Zhu Houzhao said with a sad expression: "Is it great to have a son? You are poking at my heart"

    "I am terrified."

    "As soon as I returned to Beijing today, Zhang Yong, the idiot, came to the Leopard Room with a large pile of memorials. The most talked about in those memorials was the matter of my children. Including the three cabinet bachelors, they unanimously asked me  Immediately select concubines and enrich the harem"

    Qin Kan was both jealous and envious: "Being a stallion in a reasonable and legal way makes the emperor really happy."

    Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "But I don't want to be drafted! I want to follow the example of my father. I only love one woman in my life and am only good to one woman. If my harem is full of warblers and swallows, where will I leave Liu Liangnu? Isn't she right?  Am I extremely disappointed?"

    Qin Kan was speechless. It was undeniable that Zhu Houzhao was indeed an infatuated man. He was very different from the Zhengde Emperor in history books. However, regarding the issue of heirs, Qin Kan did not dare to rashly side with Zhu Houzhao.

    Heirs are too important, especially the emperor's heirs. This is a major matter related to the fate of the country and the country. Although Qin Kan has become a generation of powerful ministers in recent years, he cannot regard the courtesy of the ministers as a blessing. If Qin Kan dares to deal with heirs,  If he goes against the ministers, the ministers will surely crash and die in front of his house one after another, one after another.

    After hesitating for a moment, Qin Kan said: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. The emperor has no heirs and the whole country is uneasy. Some things are destined to be compromised, especially the issue of heirs"

    "My heart is only so big. If there are so many concubines in the palace, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, what will Liu Liangnu have left? I only love one person in my life, why is such a simple request so difficult?  I despise those people who have three wives and four concubines the most. They hold one in their hands, hold another in the bowl, and stew in the pot. Aren't they afraid of dying after eating so much by themselves? Such people are simply scum and scum.  ¡­¡±

    He pointed angrily at the tiger in the cage in front of him and let out his last deafening roar: "it's a beast!"

    Zhu Houzhao cursed incessantly, which made Qin Kan's face turn black and the corners of his eyes twitched.

    After scolding him in one breath, Zhu Houzhao felt much better. Seeing Qin Kan's dark face and not saying a word, Zhu Houzhao smiled and patted his shoulder: "After I left the capital, you must have been very happy when you scolded me in front of the Ancestral Temple.  Yes, we are even."

    Qin Kan suddenly felt balanced: "Yes, Your Majesty, regarding the selection of concubines"

    Zhu Houzhao was in bad condition again. He sighed sadly and said, "Promise, the inheritance of our ancestors cannot be broken in my generation. I will have a good discussion with Liu Liangnv later."***************************************************  ******************
