A bathtub made of white jade. Four nanmu primrose-colored silk-cut glazed screens are lit with five-beaded round ram's horn palace lanterns.
The setting sun outside the small window is like fire, and the evening breeze passes through the bead curtain, bringing a wisp of tranquility.
When Da Yu'er was helping Qin Mu scrub his body, he pretended to tease him a few times unintentionally, causing Qin Mu's blood to rush down to his Dantian.
As a woman, and a captive woman, Dayu'er knew that there was no other way to think of except using her body in exchange for something she wanted.
She couldn't predict what she would face tomorrow, just like she couldn't predict that she would end up like this today.
She had tried so hard to put her son Fulin on the throne, but now it seemed that she had harmed her son.
Others may say that as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Fulin had almost no chance of survival.
Unless the man in front of him can be made to relent, only if he speaks can Fulin survive.
This may be her only chance now. After tonight, she doesn't even know where she will be tomorrow. She doesn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
The white clothes soaked in water stuck to her body, and the pair of huge breasts on her chest were exposed. They kept swaying with her movements, making people spurt blood.
Although Qin Mu was full of energy, he held back and soaked in the warm pool water with half-closed eyes, enjoying her massage.
"King Qin, today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, slave." Dayu'er said without any words.
"The day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet?"
"yes."
"Are you not used to calling yourself a slave now?"
"I don't dare, slave."
Qin Mu just asked casually and simply closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore;
Da Yu'er glanced at him and sighed secretly. If Qin Mu looked down on him, his original words, "What's the matter with Xifeng Lao Se, Zheng Yan is like this." were clearly from the bottom of his heart, and Da Yu'er was confident that he would not get it wrong. of.
She frowned slightly. Then he started to take off his soaked clothes, and gently rubbed Qin Mu's body with his pair of huge and soft breasts. This would make the man feel very enjoyable. Qin Mu was at the age where he was still full of energy, and he had already been aroused to the point of hardness. Like an iron pillar... .
To Da Yu'er's dismay, Qin Mu might have enjoyed it too much. He actually fell asleep while her breasts were rubbing against each other for a long time, snoring softly.
Looking at the sleeping man, a thought suddenly came to Da Yu'er's mind: kill him. Or take this opportunity to coerce him into letting him go...
Da Yu'er herself was startled by this sudden thought. She glanced at Qin Mu subconsciously and couldn't help but beat in her heart.
She thought about it a lot, but finally suppressed this dangerous thought.
Not to mention whether you can kill the man in front of you on your own, even if you can kill him, what's the use? That would only bring a more tragic end to his mother and son.
She froze for a while, sighed softly, and stretched out her hand to push Qin Mu awake: "King Qin. King Qin, wake up. It's not good to sleep here. King Qin is tired, so he should go back to his room to sleep."
Qin Mu woke up and looked at her meaningfully. The look in his eyes was not like someone who had just woken up from sleep, but seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
Da Yuer felt a little guilty for no reason, but after all, she was a woman who had seen the wind and waves, so she concealed her expression well. There was no expression of surprise.
Qin Mu stood up, put on his clothes, and left the bathroom.
Han Zanzhou, who was waiting outside, first observed Qin Mu's expression. Seeing that he didn't look like he was passing by with clouds and rain, he couldn't help but ask: "King Qin, I am not satisfied with the two people chosen by this servant."
"Fortunately, I can't say that I am dissatisfied. Don't waste your time on this. When you go there tomorrow, don't touch the wives and daughters of those Han officials. You still need to do some screening of the Han officials. Those who are really If you are a Han official who is talented and does not take the initiative to become a traitor, the court will have to appoint him at his own discretion. You can first take out the wives and daughters of Jurchen dignitaries and record them in a register."
"My slave obeys the order."
"Old Han, lead the way, just take a walk."
"Yes! King Qin, behind you are Kunning Palace and Qin'an Palace, to the east are Fengxian Palace and East Sixth Palace, and to the west are Yangxin Palace and West Sixth Palace. I wonder where King Qin is going?" Han Zan asked Zhou Bao Buddha Chen bowed and asked.
"No need to ask any more questions, just take a walk."
"yes."
Han Zanzhou first took him to the Kunning Palace in the back. This is where the queen lives, but there is no queen here now.
The Sixth Palace in the East and the Sixth Palace in the West are also empty. If the palace is large, there are only a few maids and eunuchs, and it looks very calm. The twilight of dusk comes over, and the huge palace complex is reflected in a light ocher and light blue color.
Walking to the Qin'an Hall, Han Zanzhou said: "King Qin, going further back is the Xuanwu Gate, the back gate of the Forbidden City. Xuanwu Gate is backed by Jingshan, with Meishan to the east and Beihai to the west... "
Han Zanzhou introduced it softly, but when Qin Mu heard the word Meishan, he suddenly felt bored because he thought of Emperor Chongzhen who hanged Meishan.
Although this palace is still magnificent, it has a gloomy atmosphere everywhere. Qin Mu really had no interest in watching anymore.
Returning to Qianqing Palace, he took the giant sword and practiced sword practice in front of the court. In the quiet palace, only the sound of his exhalation and the whistling of the sword echoed.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, starting from Yongle, were all too weak. Finally, an energetic Ming Wuzong was born, and he rarely lived in this palace.
In two hundred years, Qin Mu's sword light may be the first time this palace has seen it.
After practicing his sword, he went back and fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, he got up again and meditated according to the mental method taught by Fu Qingzhu.
When the red sun rose, he was full of energy and went to the front hall on time to discuss matters with the ministers.
After two groups of civil and military ministers paid their respects, Qin Mu first said: "These days, ministers have been sending memorials to me, all of them admonishing me for my previous remarks in Kaifeng Mansion. They are all worried that I will Be aggressive and use troops without restraint;
Today, the King of Japan emphasizes once again that the King must maintain a pioneering and enterprising spirit, which does not mean that he will continue to use large-scale foreign troops. Don’t you see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, roaring as it cuts through mountains and walls, and calm as it flows through the plains.
I just hope that Da Qin can be like the Wanli Yellow River. Even when it is calm on the surface, it can maintain a spiritual core of moving forward as a whole and pioneering and enterprising, and not become a pool of stagnant water.
Although I will not raise hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the barbarians, it is best for you ministers not to think of letting your horses go to Nanshan and storing your swords and guns in your treasury. Okay, everyone doesn’t need to dwell on this matter for the time being. "
"My king is wise!" The civil and military ministers headed by Sima An and Meng Ke immediately praised in unison.
"Today, let's discuss the next foreign policy. Mongolia, the Western Regions, and Qinghai-Tibet are all sources of chaos. If they are not resolved, our country, the Qin Dynasty, will never have peace.
I believe that in order to solve these problems, a comprehensive ideological outline must be formulated. This way, Da Qin's foreign policy can have continuity, and at the same time, it can avoid focusing on one thing at the expense of the other, and making the barbarians feel that Da Qin has betrayed its promises and violated its promises.
In addition, although force is indispensable to solve these problems, force is not necessarily the only means. Ministers, if you have any suggestions, you may wish to speak freely today. "
Ai Nanying, the Minister of Rites, came out and said: "King Qin, Tibet is extremely cold and the land is barren and the people are poor. I think we can just follow the old Ming practice and set up a capital."
Nominally, the Ming Dynasty incorporated Tibet into its territory, and established the Duogandu Command and Envoy Department, the Wusi Zangdu Command and Envoy Department, and the Orisi Military and Civilian Marshal's Office in Tibet. There are 4 additional recruitment departments, 13 10,000-household offices, and 4 1,000-household offices.
However, the official positions of these commanders and envoys are mainly held by local people and have a high degree of autonomy. The commanders and envoys are usually hereditary, but in name they need to be appointed by the Ming court to be legalized.
Qin Mu nodded and said: "Then the Ministry of Rites will send an official to all the capitals in Tibet to carry out instructions. Ask him to recommend the Ming Dynasty officials to Beijing for appointment. If he doesn't come, we will launch another crusade."
Ai Nanying immediately said: "My king is wise, I will send some capable people to go to his place to spread the holy edict."
In this regard, Qin Mu did not dare to be too optimistic. He asked Wen Dun, the right minister of the Ministry of War: "When Li Dingguo sent troops to Hexi, did any good news come back? Did Song Xiance make any progress in his strategy in Guanzhong?"
Wen Dun replied: "Back to the King of Qin, Hexi is a long way away. After Li Dudu sent troops to Hexi, no battle reports have yet arrived. Master Song has planned Shaanxi and Guanzhong."
In this Northern Expedition, after Ma Yongzhen broke through the middle road, He Luohui was so frightened that he abandoned Guanzhong and retreated to Shanxi. In fact, Li Dingguo's troops successfully occupied Guanzhong without experiencing any war. This is why he had spare power to send troops to the Hexi Corridor.
During the Ming Dynasty, although there were rebellions in the Hexi Corridor from time to time, it never escaped the control of the Ming court. Therefore, the people in Hexi had a stronger sense of identification with the Central Plains. Both Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing took over Hexi relatively smoothly.
This time Li Dingguo sends troops to Hexi, hoping to successfully capture the entire Hexi Corridor, especially Xining. Only by capturing this strategic location can it have a certain deterrent effect on various Tibetan ministries.
The Ministry of Rites sent envoys to announce to various ministries in Tibet that if there was no military pressure to back it up, some people would not take Da Qin seriously.
As far as Qin Mu is concerned, he hopes to take over Qinghai and Tibet peacefully. It would be too costly to conquer that place by force. It is a wise choice to first use restraint and then gradually strengthen control.
