    Quietness returned to the room, there was no sound at all, the person was gone, and it seemed as if he had never been here before.  But Yao Ji smelled a faint fishy smell in the air. The bed was in a mess, the sheets were torn, and there was a cold piece on them. A chair next to her was also overturned on the ground, and there were obvious traces of mess.

    She pulled the quilt to cover her body, lying there as if she was thinking about something, but she felt like she was not thinking about anything.  At this moment, Xiaoyue, the valet who served her daily life, walked in. Looking at the mess in the room, she couldn't help but timidly asked: "Did King Xiang bully you?"

    Yao Ji said: "It's nothing. Don't talk nonsense."

    Xiaoyue suddenly realized that she was talking too much and said hurriedly: "This slave knows the rules."

    "The wind blew on the viewing platform just now, so I feel a little uncomfortable. You go and prepare some hot water. I'll take a shower, change clothes, and sleep for a while." Yao Ji ordered.

    "Yes." Xiaoyue responded and hurriedly backed out.

    Yao Ji felt very tired and didn¡¯t want to move, but she felt uncomfortable without taking a bath.  There is still a burning pain in the back, and there is also pain in the front where there is a small ball It was pressed hard between two bones before, and it may have become swollen.  My body was badly injured, and I felt like I was dying from exhaustion.  But apart from that, there is also a sense of satisfaction. The long-suffering and emptiness seems to be released all of a sudden. This feeling of exhaustion cannot be replaced by other methods.

    She felt that the stickiness on her back was very uncomfortable, and she thought that even if she took a shower, she might not be able to clean it off, so she might have to use other methods.  But if you are injured and have to open the wound, you may feel pain again.

    The only shortcoming is that it came too fast and too hastily, and it passed before I had time to feel it with my heart.  And after calming down, I felt very regretful and ashamed. Maybe I should try my best to restrain myself and not let such unethical things go.

    ¡­¡­

    Except for those hard-hearted pioneers who have traveled across mountains and rivers and read all about the world, behind every high-ranking person is an irreplaceable woman.  You can share her when you are happy, and you can get comfort when you are depressed. Even all the beauties cannot replace her.  This woman may not necessarily be the original wife, but she must be someone very close to her.  For Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, there was also such a woman. She was not a queen, but Sun Guifei.

    There were many women in the palace in Nanjing, but they were not the concubines of Emperor Xuande. His concubines were in the capital Except for Concubine Sun, she was the only woman Zhu Zhanji brought with him after he left the capital.

    After dark, Zhu Zhanji came to Concubine Sun's palace, with a look of anxiety and exhaustion on his face, and sat down on the chair without saying a word.  In Sun Guifei's eyes, the young emperor seemed to have changed a lot in the past two years.

    He was once the favorite grandson of Emperor Yongle. The emperor often took him with him when he went on expeditions and summoned ministers to deal with national affairs. He had been carefully taught by the emperor, and he was the emperor's eldest grandson. Concubine Sun thought he was the best in the world.  The finest man.  He is high-spirited, noble, tall, young and talented, and has all the advantages.

    No matter what happens, this man is her life's career and is worth investing everything in.  She had been in the palace since she was a child, and used her youth, purity, and all her wisdom to capture this man's heart.

    Zhu Zhanji was all she had, how could she look at him so depressed?  Mrs. Sun immediately cheered up, knelt down gently next to the emperor, and gently rested her head on his knees, very quietly.  Her movements are gentle and natural, seemingly casual, but she uses all her strength in every move. She knows what kind of movements and what kind of tone can satisfy people.

    When a man is depressed, instead of chirping and chattering to make him upset, it is better to listen to what he has to say.

    Ms. Sun didn¡¯t look for a topic, she just used actions to get close to him, and silently thought about how to comfort this man¡¯s heart.  Sure enough, when he wanted to speak, he spoke naturally.  Zhu Zhanji suddenly said: "I want to tell my mother that I will appoint you as my queen."

    Mrs. Sun felt happy when she heard this. This was exactly the goal she had pursued throughout her life.  But she suppressed the ecstasy in her heart in a short period of time and made a decision first: refuse.

    "Now is not the time. The Emperor does not need to be distracted by such matters. As long as the Emperor has me in his heart, it does not matter whether I am the Queen or not." Sun said softly, as if she was recounting her thoughts.

    After saying that, Mrs. Sun slowly realized that her decision was wise She was not involved in politics, but she was also very aware of the country's situation. The most powerful general in the Ming Dynasty was defeated in Jiangxi, and the rebellion could not be put down for months. The emperor really  Do you have the mind to deal with such troublesome matters as abolition and re-establishment?

    A man is often like a child.  Sun said in her heart.

    Although he is an emperor and has a golden tongue, but he just mentioned that matter abruptly, maybe he was just venting some emotions.  Just like a child who occasionally makes mischiefThe purpose is just to get more comfort and understanding.

    Of course, Mrs. Sun would also like to take advantage of the situation and ascend to the position of queen first, but there are some things that cannot be done by the emperor's words.  The biggest obstacle is Empress Dowager Zhang. Somehow, Empress Dowager Zhang raised Sun when she entered the palace at a very young age. However, Empress Dowager Zhang prefers the current empress Hu. The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and Emperor Xuande was also very filial to him.  Sun's mother was extremely affectionate and couldn't get past Empress Dowager Zhang. Sun didn't think the emperor would be arbitrary, and Empress Dowager Zhang also had a lot of means to make him obey, just mentioning the ancestral system in one sentence.  The next obstacle is the ministers in the court. Those old men not only have to be involved in national affairs, but are also particularly interested in the emperor's family affairs. The old men will definitely spit and say that the queen has no fault and cannot be easily abolished.

    Therefore, this matter must be considered in the long term, and now is indeed not the time.  Sun's intuition just now was like this, but after thinking about it later, he straightened out the cause and effect.

    Sure enough, Sun¡¯s words were very useful to Zhu Zhanji. He immediately sighed in a heart-to-heart tone: ¡°Sometimes I wonder, what will happen to you if I lose my country one day?¡±

    Sun Shi said coquettishly: "I don't allow the emperor to say such things. The king of Han has already given in, who can make a difference?"

    Zhu Zhanji said: "I used to think that the biggest threat since taking the throne was the King of Han. He was a threat during the Yongle period. But recently, it seems that the Huguang rebel Zhu Wenbiao who appeared out of nowhere is a serious problem."

    Mrs. Sun held his hand and gently placed it on her soft chest. She raised her head and asked, "Is the emperor worried that he will steal your concubine?"

    Zhu Zhanji didn¡¯t pay attention and laughed immediately.  Laughter is like sunshine, as long as it appears, it can dispel the gloom.  After a few words, Zhu Zhanji felt that his mood was not as heavy as before.  He shook his head: "You, hey!"

    Mrs. Sun pretended to be angry and said delicately: "Does the Emperor think that if Zhu Wenbiao only wants beautiful women, then just give me to him?"

    Zhu Zhanji said sternly: "Who am I? To give away even my own woman is a great shame and humiliation. How can I have the face to face the world?"

    Mrs. Sun did not give up and continued to tease him: "Then the emperor will defeat him and capture his woman This is not good. What if they seduce the emperor? I will be jealous!"

    Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "Zhu Wenbiao deceives the world and steals his reputation. I don't know where he came from, a bastard who is not a member of the clan. How can I be so polite to him? As for those women, they were sent to the old Nanjing courtyard to be prostitutes, or sent to the military camp to reward the soldiers.  "

    "The traitors who committed great treason should be punished like that." Sun immediately changed her words and followed the emperor's wishes.  As a woman, she didn't need to have any position, so she didn't need to disobey the emperor on such an "insignificant" matter.

    Zhu Zhanji had a lot to say when talking about this matter, and Mrs. Sun listened carefully.

    "Now the British principal advocated changing the offensive to defensive, monitoring the Huguang rebels from all sides and preventing the rebels from attacking. However, most of the courtiers still believed that the imperial court would use the national war as a corner, remobilizing the army from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places as the southern route, and then from  Continue the encirclement in the north and east, and send a minister to coordinate with all parties to continue attacking and quelling the rebel areas, instead of standing still and wasting money and food."

    Sun said: "Is it because the British prince suffered a defeat and is afraid of being beaten?"

    She could not show excessive enthusiasm for military and state affairs, because she knew that the Ming Emperor was taboo against the harem intervening in politics; but she could not show too much ignorance, making the emperor feel that he was talking about nothing. Since he was talking about military and state affairs in front of her, she should need it.  Being understood There is a degree in between, and Sun has found the balance point.  Just like I did just now, I grabbed the unimportant place and said something more witty. This is not like being in the court without worrying about frivolous words.

    Zhu Zhanji shook his head, unwilling to continue to say what was in his heart.  He believed that the British Duke was worried about Mu Sheng, the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan.  He summoned Zhang Fu in private and asked a lot about Mu Sheng, and concluded that the Mu family might be related to the remnants of Jianwen.  It's okay to let Mu Sheng stay away from the Central Plains and suppress the indigenous people in a borderland like Yunnan, but it's not that reliable to put it in the mainland.

    "But the British Duke was too measured in his words in front of the emperor, and he would not "destrange" the nobles.  To support his claim, the British just said that the official and military generals were not able to adapt to the rebel tactics, the use of troops was rigid, and the time was not ripe; he also kept reminding Nanjing that Nanjing was unstable and should not be taken lightly.  These are just superficial remarks.

    Mrs. Sun said obediently from the side: "Your Majesty, please rest. Don't think too much."

    "But when Zhu Zhanji thought about it again, he couldn't let it go.  He can always grasp the key points in the chaotic and complicated government affairs. The key point at hand is to re-evaluate the current situation. Only by fully judging the strength of offense and defense can we find a foothold in various decisions based on this.  .

    Even if the officers and soldiers are oneDefeat after defeat, but the strength and weakness are still clear.  However, the Jin Yiwei recently reported that the rebels are recruiting people at Daxing Shipyard in Jiujiang, and they intend to advance along the river Are they capable of attacking Nanjing?  This forced Zhu Zhanji to reconsider his judgment from many aspects.
