My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 244 Jinling Nightless
The harem was infiltrated like this, but Xianzong was strangely slow to respond. Even if he was openly assassinated in full view of the palace, he only dealt with a few people and then stopped interfering.

After all, when he was able to go out to conquer the southwestern capital, he secretly ordered Li Jin, who was led by the eunuch of the army, to leave no humans or animals behind. Later, he took advantage of the Guyuan rebellion to attack Mongolia in the north. The Ming army won a great victory in Ninghai and almost defeated the Mongolian royal court. After all, Dayan Khan, the great Khan who unified Mongolia for the second time after Genghis Khan, escaped on horseback overnight under the protection of his sincere servants who risked their lives, thus avoiding the fate of being captured by the Ming army like other Mongolian nobles.Or is it that Emperor Xianzong, who ordered the Jurchens of the Three Guards of Jianzhou to plow the court and sweep the holes, has now changed his character for the first time, started to show kindness, and cannot bear to be implicated too much?

Or is it because he simply cannot carry out large-scale cleaning of the palace with his strength?
Thoughts flashed in Zhu Houcong's mind.

"Don't make any noise about this—"

Although it seems that a lot of evidence now indicates that the identity of the Ji family who was captured as a prisoner in Xianzong's harem may not be that simple.

The power of the forces that could help her hide the child in the palace for five years, hide it from countless eyes inside and outside the palace, and protect Zhu Youtang's safe adulthood would be terrifying.

You know, Xianzong didn't have no sons.

But the sons before Zhu Youtang all inexplicably either died young or had accidents.

The first son lived for nine months, and the second son died in the palace when he was less than three years old.

If there is really a problem with Xiaozong's identity...

Naturally, once the truth is exposed, Emperor Xiaozong, who is supposed to be a flawless and perfect man, and even the legitimacy of his son Wu Zong to rule the empire will be questioned and challenged.

But this does not mean that exposing this matter is of any benefit to Zhu Houcong, as it can enhance the legitimacy of his vassal king's succession to the imperial line.

After all, Emperor Xiaozong is dead.

Zhu Houcong still took over the class of Emperor Wuzong.

"I understand that this matter is of great importance. All the Jin Yiwei ministers involved in the investigation have already said hello. Moreover, Jin Yiwei's brothers have been strictly selected and are loyal to the emperor and father. There is no possibility of leaking the secret."

After hearing Wang Zuo's hurried speech, Zhu Houcong nodded in affirmation and warned.

"Continue to send people to search for the results of these Jin Yiwei's secret visits to Nanjing, and order special personnel to investigate the background of Ji and his family."

"Send it to me as soon as you have the results—"

Zhu Houcong said.

Wang Zuo beside him had not yet had time to show his loyalty to his father.

The fire coming from the top of Nanjing City attracted all the attention of the troops who had just arrived not far outside Nanjing City.

Looking at the brilliant brilliance of the city of Nanjing, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and the flickering of fireworks, some words that made the old bachelors around Zhu Houcong, most of whom had been fighting for many years, blush, were clearly revealed in the sky.

Your Ming Dynasty gunpowder technique is a bit magical!

Zhu Houcong complained in his heart.

In my previous life, I didn’t know that this thing could be played like this!
The people who accompanied the army secretly cursed those merchants in Jinling City for being so shameless for producing such a thing!It’s really a moral decline in the world, and people’s hearts are not as good as they used to be!How dare you show this to Emperor Shotoku!

Behind his back, he turned his face and secretly looked at the sky with the corner of his eye. At that moment, the dazzling light and moving sound of firecrackers shattered the silent night, and there was an indescribable look of envy in his eyes.

MD!Is it so grand for a rich man to chase an oiran?

If someone does this to me, maybe I will...ahem...

Looking at someone in the crowd above the head, "There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful." "We are married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about our love." "May I be like a star and a king like the moon, and the light will shine brightly every night." Used by young scholars In a sentence that expresses his admiration for a mature beauty who has strayed into the world of romance, the huge words "Girl Zi Su, I love you" flash in the air and look particularly bright.

Look at the fireworks that stand out from the crowd yet fit in so perfectly.

Zhu Houcong could probably guess who did it.

Good guy - you started causing trouble again while I was out of town, right?

I'm killing people outside and you're having a party in the city, right?
Okay, okay, bastard, just wait, don’t sleep too much tonight.

At this time, in Jinling Zuichun Tower, a certain girl who is now the most powerful girl in Jinling City is enjoying a life of drunkenness and dreams while Zhu Houcong is away.

Arrogance and extravagance can no longer describe her state at this time. Perhaps only the legendary Xia Jie and Shang Zhou were debauched and unworthy to come to the table to exchange experiences.

"Miss Zisu, your hands are so soft and warm!"

"Such a pair of hands that can play the pipa must take a lot of effort to maintain them every day."

"It just so happens that I also like musical instruments. Come to my room tonight and teach me how to play the pipa!"

In the elegant private room of Zui Chun Building, Zhu Changning, who was enjoying the entertainment of more than a dozen beautiful maids beside him, pinching their shoulders and beating their legs, grabbed a trembling person next to him, who was usually noble and cool. , the hand of a girl in purple who claims to be a prostitute but not a prostitute.While caressing it carefully along the palm like a greasy middle-aged uncle, the girl named Zisu looked horrified, but thinking of the instructions from several mothers in Zuichun Tower before leaving, she could only squeeze out a stiff look. Smile, reluctantly.

She stared at the face in front of her that could be called handsome and heroic.

The woman in front of her was lazily leaning on the lounge chair and enjoying everyone's service.

His eyebrows are picturesque, his bright eyes are good at gazing, and they are shining with hope, but in the movement of his eyes, there is an evil spirit waving his arms across thousands of armies.

He was joking with the beauty next to him, and his smiles and frowns were all full of elegance and nobility that Zisu had never seen in those so-called Nanjing dignitaries.

Just looking at it like this, Zisu's face turned red without knowing it, and she looked a little crazy for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she saw the extremely luxurious beauty staring at her with a half-smiling face.

Zisu lowered her eyebrows and dodge subconsciously, the blush on her face spreading to her neck.

So... mortals...

Zhu Changning lay leisurely on the mink fur bench behind him, enjoying the service of the woman beside him. While teasing the girl Zisu in front of him, he also thought about responding to the resentful glances of the many beauties around him.

Human beings have never been able to resist the ultimate desire within themselves for something more perfect than themselves.

"A little thirsty..."

Zhu Changning stood up, and immediately five or six spoons with various soups were placed at his mouth, and the beauties gently blew the hot air on them.

The fragrance of the soup carefully prepared by the Nanjing chef is accompanied by the beauty's breath.

The soup is sweet and smooth, with endless aftertaste.

Listening to the girl Zi Su playing the pipa again, the sound is as warm and sweet as a clear spring. The tunes are varied, with deep and melancholy and cheerful and bright rhythms changing back and forth, just like the swaying heart of a red-faced girl at this moment.

Zhu Changning let out a long sigh of relief.

He patted the exposed white skin on the back of the girl next to him and signaled the beauty next to him to massage her more vigorously.

After entering Jinling, I felt like I had really lived again.

Compared with the Northern Capital Division, which faced military pressure from the north most of the time in history.

The prosperity of Jinling City was something Zhu Changning had never imagined before.

With a superior geographical environment, convenient transportation, developed economy, large population, dense river network, rich resources, and far away from the border, the biggest threat in ordinary times is just pirates begging for food at sea.

However, thanks to the Jinling court's all-round grace, kindness and power, and the power of the northern court to intimidate the bandits, enemies from all directions must consider the extent of the Ming court's retaliation for openly attacking the Ming capital before attacking Jinling.

In addition, Jinling used money to clear the way and bought a large number of pirates along the coast for his own use.

He even promised the surrounding pirates to use means such as imperial edicts, titles, and official awards to win over these maritime militants to assist Jinling in fighting Japanese pirates and maintain Jinling's commercial security.

Therefore, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for a period of turmoil in Nanjing during the Jingnan period, the rest of the time has been no matter how turbulent the outside world is, whether it is Tatar invasion, Jurchen riots, peasant uprisings, army mutinies, chieftain rebellions, Japanese pirates intrusion...

The city of Nanjing is always a scene of vitality and tranquility.

Hundreds of years of peaceful development have accumulated incredible wealth for the second capital of this empire.

Compared with those imperial bureaucrats who mostly hold the hope of making a little profit, those bugs who have completely taken over Jinling since Zhu Di have already regarded Jinling as their own private property.

They have no concept of family group, only the desire and desire for wealth increase.

Nanjing's sleepless city, which is so prosperous that it is said that one city can buy half of the empire, has achieved today's achievements, and it is indispensable to the credit of these extremely intelligent bugs working overtime 24 hours a day.

They worked so hard to run this place, and they probably never thought that one day, Ming, who seemed to be destined to be shipped on a certain day, would actually sit up from a dying illness, punch the pirates and kick the barbarians, and then resurrect in an instant. After they were sent to the northern court in Jinling, the plan to legally inherit the Ming Dynasty's heritage under the banner of the Ming Dynasty accompanied the Eastern Expedition army southward, and all of them went bankrupt in an instant.

Looking at the Ming army camped dozens of miles outside the city, with flags waving and covering the sky, overnight I transformed into the alien Zerg race working as workers in the Ming court.

Chewing on the pie that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had painted for them after entering the city, their teeth were a bit raw even if they were exposed to the cold water. I don’t know how many alien Zerg tribes that merged with the local indigenous people that day stared at the night sky and had a sleepless night. He fell into a confusion that was rare since he came to this planet and faced those endless abominations.

These extremely tangled alien bugs at this moment are afraid that Zhu Houcong, seeing how prosperous the city of Nanjing is, will imitate a certain Emperor Taizong and directly pack up all the gold, silver, pearls, jade, and civil and military officials that his father has worked hard to accumulate in Jinling all his life. shipped to the north.
