Good morning Daming

Chapter 1109 Aren’t you still here, my cousin?
What qualities should the future Crown Princess, or the future Queen, possess?
In early winter in the capital, this topic ranked among the top three hot searches.

“Graceful and elegant.”

"She has great skills and can manage the harem."

"Don't be jealous."

"..."

All kinds of public opinions reached the palace, and both Prince Yu and Prince Jing felt a little uneasy.

"Who could it be?" Prince Yu was looking forward to hearing good news from his cousin every day.

It’s best to be a stunning beauty.

As for her temperament... gentle and virtuous, whatever I say is what she does.

It was still the abandoned side hall.

"My requirements are not high, as long as she is not a coward." King Jing's goal is the sea of ​​stars. If the princess is timid, she will only hold him back.

"Or, let's stay in the capital!" Prince Yu said sincerely.

King Jing glanced at him and asked, "Do you want me to stay in the capital?"

"Yes!" Prince Yu took the lead, "My cousin said that in one life, there are two brothers. You are my only brother, and I can only talk to you if I have something to say."

"You are too soft-hearted." King Jing shook his head. "If you sit in that position, the people around you will be tempted every now and then, and sooner or later they will turn against me. Rather than turning against each other later, it is better to go our separate ways early, otherwise we will worry about each other. The so-called distant fragrance smells bad, this is the truth."

"I swear……"

"Don't swear." King Jing smiled, "The oath lies in the heart, not in the gods. It doesn't matter if you have the heart or not."

"Your Highnesses." Yang Xi came, "The training of the Beijing Guards has begun."

"Go and have a look."

Prince Yu took a few steps, then stopped and looked back: "Let's go!"

King Jing looked at him with complicated eyes, "Okay!"

When he came over, Prince Yu hooked his shoulder and said, "Father, these years have not been easy. To be honest, I feel a little lonely. I can't even find anyone to talk to when I have something on my mind. When I encounter problems, I have no one to discuss them with..."

"Let go."

"Don't let it go!"

"Don't push me!"

"Why, do you want to take action?"

"..."

The two brothers went away fighting and laughing, and a man came out from not far away, it was the Taoist priest.

"That's great!" Taoist looked at his two sons going away, with some memories in his eyes, and then asked in a deep voice: "How are the various places in the capital?"

Behind him was Lu Bing. He said, "When the imperial guards were dispatched, those people initially thought that Your Majesty was going to purge all officials, and they were in chaos. Some people even cried and some cursed..."

"Call me a tyrant?"

"Yes! Some people also said that we should have started a rebellion earlier if we had known about it."

"He looks strong but is actually weak!"

In the winter of the 31st year of the Jiajing reign, Changwei Earl Jiang Qingzhi presided over the drill of the Beijing Guards. The army marched through the city of Beijing, then divided into several groups and rushed towards the Imperial City, Western Garden and other places.

The officials and dignitaries were panicked and exclaimed that His Majesty wanted to purge the capital.

But the army just passed through the imperial city.

Then leave the city.

On this day, the capital was as quiet as a dead city.

The memorial impeaching Jiang Qingzhi suddenly broke out.

Jiang Qingzhi explained that the expedition against the Japanese pirates would inevitably face stubborn resistance from the enemy, and after the city was captured, it would be a difficult problem to conduct street fighting. This exercise was just to allow the soldiers to adapt in advance.

“This is a deterrent!”

Yan Song said in the duty room: "Your Majesty used this grand battle to warn those people that even if the Beijing Guards went out to sea and Jiang Qingzhi was not in Ming Dynasty, Xiyuan could still suppress the situation."

Yan Shifan asked, "Is there anyone making a rash move?"

Yan Song nodded, "There are some undercurrents inside and outside the capital. Some people..." He lowered his voice, "Once Japan is destroyed, it will be the destruction of the country. The prestige of your majesty and Jiang Qingzhi will soar to the sky. Who can stop the new policy? Those people are panicking..."

"You want to take a risk!" Yan Shifan's eyes narrowed. "They dared to kill the king back then, so it's not unusual for them to launch a coup now."

"Your Majesty has experienced many crises, how could he not be prepared? Those people! Some of them lost their composure." Yan Song sneered, "Now that Your Majesty has noticed it, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory have been dispatched in large numbers. There will be bloodshed inside and outside the capital again."

At the end of the year, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang suddenly took large-scale actions and arrested dozens of people in the capital, most of whom were scholars and dignitaries.

It was also at the end of the year that Jiang Qingzhi entered the palace and presented the candidate of his choice.

"Yang family?" Dao Ye looked at the information. "Grandiose, open-minded, optimistic, positive... What is this?"

"In my opinion, the most important thing for the Crown Princess and the Queen is not their skills, but their magnanimity, optimism and positive attitude." Jiang Qingzhi said: "The third son is a bit indecisive and easily frustrated when encountering things. What he needs is a virtuous wife who can always give him confidence and encouragement."

"Is this Yang the virtuous wife in your eyes?"

"Yes, Yang is not only optimistic and positive, but also has the courage to ignore difficulties. This reminds me of the late Queen Mother."

"Mother!" Dao Ye narrowed his eyes. He was in a difficult situation during those years, and it was his mother's magnanimity, optimism, and positive attitude that gave him endless strength.

"How are this woman's skills?" asked the Taoist.

Jiang Qingzhi said, "He has good vision, but he has some skills, but he seems to be disdainful of using them."

"Don't bother to use it? Why?"

"I have been pondering and observing for a while and have a guess."

"Ok?"

"Yang is not interested in choosing a concubine."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes."

Yang Jing didn't take it seriously and thought she would be able to go home soon, but the father and daughter went around the capital and still had no news.

The selection of concubines is divided into three rounds. The losers in the first round have already returned home, and the winners of the second round will be announced today.

A eunuch came to the inn, took out a list and called out the girls one by one.

The girls whose names were called looked unhappy, and some even choked up.

Outside the door, Lu Bing and Rui Jingxian were supervising.

"What's there to cry about?!" Rui Jingxian shook his head.

"These young ladies are highly expected by their families. If they can be chosen one day, they will be extremely rich. How can they not cry?" Lu Bing said quietly.

Ho ho ho!
Rui Jingxian sneered, "That is a cannibalistic place. Once you enter the palace, who gets all the wealth and honor? Your family gets it. My poor daughter is suffering in the palace, living in fear..."

"Who cares!" Lu Bing said calmly, "Maybe, this is fate!" "Bullshit fate!" Rui Jingxian spat on the ground and squinted his eyes, "My East Factory failed to infiltrate Japan, how about the Jinyiwei?"

Lu Bing said: "Without an insider, we can't get close to those big names. We are unfamiliar with the place. Two of them went ashore, one disappeared, and the other was dragged into the army because of his tall stature, but escaped back halfway."

Rui Jingxian gloated: "Don't you, Lu Bing, know that the Japanese are short?"

"That man is already the shortest among my Jinyiwei."

Rui Jingxian: “…”

In an instant, he was furious, "Are you mocking me for the fact that all the people in the East Factory are short?"

"Your mind is full of calculations!" Lu Bing suddenly cursed, leaving Rui Jingxian stunned.

Lu Bing took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I lost my composure."

Rui Jingxian looked at him for a long time and said with a smile: "Let us guess why you lost your composure? It's because Long Wilbur flew into the sky, and now you can only watch his back getting farther and farther away. You feel unwilling, right?"

"Haha!" Lu Bing smiled, but when he turned around, there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

"One for each." Each girl was given a wooden box and then dismissed.

There was a gift in the wooden box, and it was very exquisite.

The lost girls looked at the gifts, and someone suddenly asked, "It seems that everyone has left. Don't they want to choose?"

"There is still one!"

"Who else?" Everyone looked at each other.

"That Yang Jing!"

Yang Jing was also confused and stood alone on one side.

The eunuch came over with a smile, bowed, and said with a little respect: "Please wait, young lady."

This!
The girls then suddenly realized.

"It's Yang Jing?"

"This person is careless all day long, doesn't care at all, and doesn't look virtuous at all. Why did he choose it?"

Yang Jing herself was also surprised.

Yang Zhi was isolated. He saw that the girls left one after another, but there was no news about his own daughter. He was very worried. He was worried that his daughter had committed a crime and was detained. He spent money to bribe and find out the news. But the eunuch refused and said politely: "Just wait."

This attitude is wrong!

Yang Zhi was panicked.

Not long after, Jiang Qingzhi arrived.

"Hello, uncle!"

Yang Zhi had never seen such a big shot before, and he felt a little awkward, but there was no sign of flattery on his face.

Really good.

Jiang Qingzhi asked about Yang Jing's situation at home, and finally said, "Go home and prepare!"

"What are you preparing for?" Yang Zhi asked.

"To be married!"

Boom!

A bomb exploded and hit Yang Zhi and his daughter.

"My daughter... was chosen?"

Jiang Qingzhi presided over the selection of a concubine, and unexpectedly chose a young lady from a poor family for Prince Yu. When the news spread, the capital was in an uproar.

"He is said to be a hereditary centurion, but he is still hanging around in the local area and has no real job."

For military households, ordinary military households are slaves, while the status of centurions and others is different. If they are good at scheming, their children and grandchildren may not enjoy wealth and luxury, but they can certainly become a well-off family.

"Then how did Yang catch the eye of my cousin?" Prince Yu asked curiously.

"Originally, those people did not choose her when they were selecting people locally, but one of the selected people could not come due to illness, so she was brought here."

What the hell!

Prince Yu looked up at the sky in silence.

On the second day, someone came to the Earl's Mansion. It was Sun Bu Tong. "My Lord, please come over."

Prince Yu's mind was full of things wrong with Yang Jing, so he hurried to the Bo's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, I was taken behind the screen.

Outside the screen are Jiang Qingzhi and his wife.

Not long after, Yang Jing was brought in.

"What do you think is the most important thing between a husband and wife?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile, "Don't be nervous."

But Yang Jing was not nervous at all. She thought for a moment and said, "I think it is... we are close to each other but also have some distance."

"Why?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

"It's like a person who likes to eat braised pork, but eats it every day, he will get tired of it. The same is true between husband and wife."

Tsk!
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows behind the screen, thinking that this young lady was quite interesting and not pedantic at all.

"What would you do if you were asked to take charge of the harem?" Li Tian asked.

"Ah!" The young lady was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and thought for a while, "I don't know, but... I think... having a public spirit is enough."

Jiang Qingzhi and his wife looked at each other.

Prince Yu looked out from the gap in the screen and saw Yang Jing's appearance. After a while, his face turned slightly red.

Later, Li Tian took Yang Jing to the backyard, and Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicinal cigarettes and said, "Come out!"

"Uncle." Prince Yu came out.

"Do you like it?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

Prince Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I like it."

"It's okay for people to indulge themselves occasionally, but you are weak-willed. Once you indulge yourself, it will be out of control." Jiang Qingzhi suddenly said in a stern voice: "Control your desires. If I know that you are enjoying yourself among the flowers, I will advise His Majesty to replace all the people around you with eunuchs!"

Prince Yu was shocked, but he knew that his cousin was a man of his words, so he quickly agreed.

"Remember, I don't ask you to live to be a hundred, but fifty is fine?" Jiang Qingzhi stood up. "The new policy needs to be consistent. If you can't control your pants, once you die and leave your young son behind... those officials will take the opportunity to counterattack. How can you let a child fight against them?"

Historically, Emperor Wanli was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng and others because of his young age. The situation was almost exactly the same as what Emperor Jiajing faced when he ascended the throne.

And the cause of everything was this lustful man.

King Jing looked cautious, and Jiang Qingzhi was quite pleased, thinking that his heavy hammer had finally worked.

"Aren't you still here, uncle?"
