Chapter 182 Reality

Ouyang Jing walked into the west wing of Chuxiu Palace.

She carefully selected a few beautiful girls who were very good at playing, playing, and singing, and found a few people who were good at singing and dancing. There were a total of twelve people, all of them beautiful and beautiful, and all of them were arranged to bathe and change.

Tonight, Zhu Houzhao is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He had asked Ouyang Jing to make arrangements before, but this was also what the Queen Mother meant. After all, more than a month has passed since the last Liu Ruyue incident. If the body recovers, it will be almost the same now.

“Now Your Majesty is already fierce, isn’t it?”

While arranging these beautiful girls to bathe and change clothes, Ouyang Jing was thinking in her mind if His Majesty would favor another Jiangnan beautiful girl tonight.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At the moment, Zhu Houzhao is reviewing the memorials. Recently, there are few memorials from the Dongxi Factory. Maybe they have handed over a lot of things to the cabinet.

More than a dozen young girls who can sing and dance walked lightly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, stood in the queue and started dancing.

Some people play the pipa, some people play the flute, and some people start dancing to the cheerful pace.

Zhu Houzhao rarely enjoyed such a life before.

When Emperor Hongzhi was on the throne, although he was the crown prince, he didn’t know anything about the dancers in the harem.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi himself was not close, and he never married a concubine in his entire life, let alone these dancers. He banned all the musicians in the court at all.

Up to now, Zhu Houzhao has been busy with government affairs since he succeeded the emperor, and no one has mentioned it for more than a year, so he has gradually forgotten.

It was not until now that Ouyang Jing deliberately arranged such a song and dance team for him that he felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing the light and vigorous dancing of these women, Zhu Houzhao was mesmerized.

It has been a long time since he had enjoyed such a rich spiritual feast, and he felt that his spiritual world was empty and desolate.

After a song and dance, when Ouyang Jing saw that Zhu Houzhao was still immersed in the memories of the beautiful music, he beckoned the dancers to leave.

“It’s so beautiful!”

It took a long time for Zhu Houzhao to return to reality from the immersed joy, he muttered to himself.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let them retire! Would you like to come back another day?”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, “I feel very sleepy recently. The songs and dances that you gave me today gave me a fresh feeling from head to toe, which I have never felt before.”

“Let them continue!”

Ouyang Jing could only let these beautiful girls start to show their talents to His Majesty again.

The sound of the piano and the serpent sounded again, and the melodious singing filled every corner of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Twelve beautiful girls danced gracefully like heavenly fairies.

Zhu Houzhao was once again attracted by the graceful postures of these beautiful girls.

No wonder the monarchs in the past did not go to court early, and only wished to immerse themselves in this gentle village every day.

It can’t be blamed on the king for not going to court early, it can only be blamed on these women for being so outstanding.

Ouyang Jing stood aside with a picturesque smile. She was a very scheming girl. For His Majesty, such a feast was undoubtedly a spiritual gluttony.

The news that Jiangnan Xiu Nu was selected into the Hall of Mental Cultivation spread like wildfire.

In the entire harem, some people are sad and some are happy.

Liu Ruyue was the only one who was favored among the first batch of girls who entered the palace, but she did something shameful and entered the cold palace for the second time, which became a topic of discussion among these beautiful girls.

Many people take this as a warning, but even so, they have never even seen His Majesty’s face.

Inside the Cining Palace.

Zhang Xuan and Zhu Xiurong were both left for dinner by the queen mother. When the little **** reported to the queen mother about Zhu Houzhao’s activities tonight, Zhang Xuan and Zhu Houzhao’s faces were a little red.

“Brother is really in a hurry, just came back from outside and was so crazy!”

“Could it be that those beautiful girls in the south of the Yangtze River are really so attractive?” Zhu Xiurong’s blushing goose egg face flashed a pair of big eyes, looking pure and innocent.

They didn’t even know that it was at the instigation of the Queen Mother and arranged by Ouyang Jing, but just to see how outstanding Jiangnan Xiu Nu’s graceful dancing and the legendary Jinling Xiu Nu were!

In history, Qinhuai singers were famous all over the world, and their little songs were spread throughout the court, and their reputation was quite resounding.

Jinling City is also the ancient capital of Nanjing. Back then, their Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital here, and later moved the capital to the present place during the Yongle period, but the musicians left there are outstanding.

The queen mother looked at Zhang Xuan, although she really wanted to straighten her, but now she can’t be too hasty.

The most obvious point is the attitude of the emperor. The queen mother also thinks clearly about this matter, and everything will be fine.

Even though his younger brother Shou Ninghou tried his best to get Zhang Xuan into the palace, the unwilling things were like a twisted melon.

The Empress Dowager also knew about the emperor’s review of the Ming Navy this time.

For the emperor, this is his duty, and now Daming is in the stage of rapid development, which makes him look at Zhu Houzhao in a different way!

His father, Emperor Hongzhi, was already a Ming emperor, and he was even more outstanding than what his father did.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang lives in the harem, she knows all the news in the court and outside.

Especially when Shangguan Haitang abandoned the Dragon Protector Order and the second-rank guard’s waist card and left the Dragon Protector Villa alone, she was already a little surprised.

Could it be that he wronged her?

Could it be that she never thought of entering the harem?

When it was time to hold the lantern, Zhu Houzhao let these beautiful girls go back to Chuxiu Palace.

After these beautiful girls left, Ouyang Jing wondered: “Are these beautiful girls not good enough? Why doesn’t your Majesty favor any of them?”

“Could it be…”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also thought of Shangguan Haitang, and now he has no intention of pampering these beautiful girls.

After all the palace maids and eunuchs had retired, Zhu Houzhao was also lying on the bed, thinking lightly and thoughtfully.

“You must find Haitang and ask this matter clearly!”

“If she really harbors my dragon seed, no one can stop her! She must be in charge of the harem.”

But…

Zhu Houzhao sighed deeply, the emperor also had troubles…

……

The next morning.

Inside the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City.

All civil and military officials entered in this way and bowed and worshipped.

Minister of Industry Li Suide walked out of the train, holding an ivory arc: “Your Majesty, according to the recent progress of my Daming new artillery, the Shenlong artillery has been transported to the border and put into use in defending the enemy.”

“In addition, according to the newly built warships, each warship is equipped with cannons of the same size, and there are small new-style cannons on both sides of the artillery, so that each ship has a total of twenty-four artillery pieces!”

Although Li Suide said these numbers like a lot~www.readmtl.com~, there are also some regrets between his eyebrows.

However, when the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty heard about this, they were all shocked.

Twenty-four artillery pieces, what concept?

Thinking back to the time when Zheng He set the sun seven times, he only used a warship with less than 20 artillery pieces. Does the appearance of these artillery pieces also herald the arrival of a brilliant tomorrow of the Ming Dynasty?

One cannon is enough to blast open a city, so many cannons are used to deal with the enemy, let alone being approached by the enemy, even standing can hang the enemy’s attack.

However, things are far from being as simple as they thought.

Zhu Houzhao frowned deeply after hearing this.

As a person who has passed through from later generations, he knows that although this artillery has great power, it also has many shortcomings.

Otherwise, with such a powerful artillery, why did the Houjin Tartars take the lead?

This is a real problem, a real problem to be solved from now on!
