Chapter 1019 The Beauty Sent by Dongfang Bubai

It’s noon this day.

After Su Mingzhe left court, he felt the weather was too hot, so he hid in the harem to escape the heat.

Soon, a group of eunuchs and palace maids ran in accompanied by the little emperor.

"Xi'er, shouldn't you be studying with your teacher at this time?"

Seeing his eldest son coming in, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to lift the gauze curtain and signal the palace maid serving beside him to help him put on his clothes.

"Father, I have some questions for you."

Zhu Youlong was the name given to the young emperor by Emperor Wanli, and he was of the same generation as Emperor Chongzhen in history.

Su Xi is the name Su Mingzhe gave to his son.

Su Mingzhe naturally got used to calling his son by the name he gave him:
"Xi'er, what do you want to ask?"

Su Mingzhe put on his clothes, picked up his six-year-old son, and slowly walked out of the palace.

Also lying on the dragon bed were Xue Qianxun, Yang Shishi, as well as women such as Ju Fei.

The scene is a bit chaotic and not suitable for children to watch.

Su Xi hugged her father's neck and asked in a baby voice:
"Father, I heard that in Liaodong, a border villager named Wild Boar Skin rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor. Is that true?"

In ancient times, rebellion was divided into several levels.

The most common ones are robbing people on the road and building strongholds in the mountains.

This kind of rebellion is similar in scale to the one involving the white-clad scholar Wang Lun in the Water Margin.

A slightly more serious case than this is the type of Chao Gai, the King of Heaven.

Not only did they rob people on the road, but they also attacked cities and captured strongholds. This is considered as killing officials and rebelling.

A more serious case is one like Song Jiang.

Not only did they attack cities and capture strongholds, they even began to threaten the emperor.

In the eyes of the imperial court, the above three types of rebellion were actually just minor local problems.

Once the imperial army arrives, they will be crushed into dust.

Even more powerful than Song Jiang is Fang La, who directly raised the banner of rebellion, established a country and proclaimed himself emperor.

Generally, for the first three types, the imperial court will give a chance for reconciliation. As long as they accept the amnesty, everyone will still be one family.

Only people like Fang La, who directly established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, would fight to the death.

Today, wild boar skin means founding a country and becoming emperor.

It was only because he founded his country outside the Great Wall, far away from the Central Plains, that the imperial army would have wiped him out long ago and would not have given him any chance to develop.

Now, when Su Xi asked about this, Su Mingzhe began to tell him the inspirational story of the wild boar skin:
"Yes, this wild boar skin has been rebelling for many years. He rebelled when the late emperor was still alive."

To be fair, the story of wild boar skin is indeed very inspiring.

His parents died when he was young, leaving him alone and helpless. He worked as a servant of his enemy and endured for so many years before he became famous all over the world.

After finally ascending the throne and becoming emperor, he could only continue to stay in a hellish place where he would freeze into a pillar if he went out to pee in the winter.

After listening for a while, Su Xi finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been in her heart:

"Father, since this wild boar has been rebelling for so many years, why don't we wipe him out?"

"There are many reasons for this, the most important of which is poverty!"

Su Mingzhe sighed: "Xi'er, although fighting a war depends on the bravery of the soldiers, as the Art of War says, before the troops move, the food and grass must go first..."

I gave my son some knowledge about marching and fighting.

Until noon.

Princess Shouning came to have lunch with her eldest son, holding her youngest son.

The family of four had a small gathering.

Had lunch.

Su Xi took her brother, who was walking unsteadily, to take a nap.

Su Mingzhe looked at Princess Shouning, whose eyes were as charming as silk and as gentle as spring water, and was too lazy to look for Xue Qianxun and the others. He just hugged Princess Shouning and made love with her in Yikun Palace.

The Yikun Palace was originally called the Wan'an Palace. It was renamed the Yikun Palace during the reign of Emperor Jiajing.
Yi means to assist. Yikun Palace is the palace where the queen assisted the queen in managing the concubines.

During the reign of Emperor Wanli, the concubine who lived here was the famous Concubine Zheng.

Princess Shouning was the only daughter of Concubine Zheng and Emperor Wanli.

Princess Shouning grew up here since she was a child, and after she entered the palace to rule the country, she continued to live here.

Before Emperor Wanli passed away, he left a will, decreeing that Concubine Zheng be made empress.

After the young emperor ascended the throne, he handled the matter according to the order.

Now, Zheng has been honored as the Grand Empress Dowager and has moved into the Cining Palace.

Wake up from a nap.

Princess Shouning was lazily wearing a palace skirt and, with the help of palace maids, she took her youngest son to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to her mother.

As for Su Mingzhe, he didn't take a nap at all. After his eldest son Su Xi disturbed his affairs, he took him out of the palace to travel among the people and experience the sufferings of the common people.

As an emperor, it is not acceptable not to understand the sufferings of the world.

Knowing the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of the people would be very helpful for the emperor to govern the country.

Spent the whole afternoon traveling.

Before the palace gate was locked, the father and son returned to Yiku Palace together.

Su Xi was still young, so she could have the palace maids help her sleep during the day, but at night, she needed her mother to accompany her.

Su Mingzhe went to rest with his beautiful concubines.

Until midnight.

Su Mingzhe had just fallen asleep when he was suddenly awakened from his dream.

When he looked up, he saw Dongfang Bubai, dressed in a red robe, throwing a woman wrapped in silk towards him.

"He is indeed a eunuch, he has no compassion for women at all!"

Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand and gently held the woman in his arms. After untying the silk, he found that she was actually a young girl with a round and delicate oval face under her messy hair.

Su Mingzhe looked at her carefully and felt that the girl looked familiar.

But it was not the 'Thirteenth Aunt' that he wanted, and he asked in disappointment:

"Who is this woman?"

"This is what you said, Dayu'er, the most beautiful woman in Korchin!"

Dongfang Bubai noticed the change in Su Mingzhe's expression and asked with a smile, "Who else do you think it is?"

"I thought it was the Saint Lady of your Sun Moon Sect."

Su Mingzhe was open and revealed his thoughts.

Dongfang Bubai was not surprised, he just smiled and said:
"I followed your instructions this time and went to assassinate Nurhaci. Before I left, didn't you say that if I had time, I should go to the Khorchin tribe to see if the most beautiful woman in Khorchin was this Dayu'er? After I killed Nurhaci, it was just a coincidence that this girl happened to be a guest at Nurhaci's place with her grandfather. I saw that she was not very old, but she was indeed a beauty. In two years, she will definitely be no worse than Ren Yingying, so I just brought her here to you!"

"Thank you very much!"

Su Mingzhe did not expect that Dongfang Bubai would go to such great lengths just for a word from him. He was touched and immediately reported back:

"Then think carefully, do you want the 'Heaven-Repairing Pill' that can regenerate your limbs, or do you want a magical book that can make you a real woman?"

Dongfang Bubai heard the man's teasing intention and snorted coldly:
"Duke Zhenguo, your joke is not funny at all!"

"Don't blame me, it's just that the Eastern Sect Leader is too beautiful, so I couldn't help myself for a moment..."

Su Mingzhe laughed and threw the 'Heaven-Repairing Pill' that he had prepared long ago to Dongfang Bubai:
"This 'Heaven-Repairing Pill' can really regenerate severed limbs. If you don't believe it, you can find someone with broken limbs to try it out. However, these broken limbs can grow back, but I'm not sure if yours can grow back. After all, the level of the [Sunflower Manual] you've cultivated is too high, and you've already reached the level of heaven and man. If the 'Heaven-Repairing Pill' doesn't work for you, why don't you come back to me? I really have a magic manual that can turn you into a woman!"

"Then the Duke of Zhenguo should keep the divine manual for his own use!"

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai had not yet met Linghu Chong and had no interest in being a woman. She took the Bu Tian Pill and turned around and left.

"Pity!"

After Dongfang Bubai left, Su Mingzhe finally felt like reaching out and caressing the face of the beauty in his arms:
"This face looks familiar, he must be a star. Alas, I have watched too many movies and TV series, and enjoyed too many beauties. Many women can't match my face."

Su Mingzhe tried hard to search his memory.

Finally, as the beauty's eyelashes trembled, Su Mingzhe finally found a corresponding image from his memory:
"When Si Teng was a child, she seemed to look like this..."
