"Since the defenders of the capital fought against the bandits, and when the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Liaodong in three directions, land and business tax reforms were carried out almost simultaneously.
Before that, the Ming Dynasty had been desolate everywhere, the guard system existed in name only, corrupt officials were lawless, and the Donglin Party and Qing rumor officials were in trouble.
Although I forcefully killed a group of corrupt officials and traitors, the real crisis of Ming Dynasty has not been resolved. I have been living in the palace and know nothing about the outside situation.
Therefore, I am going to go out for a trip, and I want to see with my own eyes what is going on with me, Daming. After I leave the capital, the capital will be handed over to the two lovers.
You must work together without the slightest intrigue or selfishness, and let all the departments of the imperial court operate normally and orderly during the time when I am away.
Also, only the two of you know about my departure from Beijing this time, and I can’t mention it to anyone, let alone notify the local officials to engage in formalism. If there is a third person who knows, I will ask you. "
Sun Chengzhong and Li Banghua hurriedly got up to salute:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your kindness to this old minister is as high as a mountain, and this old minister has no second thoughts. Thank you for your trust in this minister. I will do my best to ensure the normal operation of Ming Dynasty and will not affect the lives of the people in any way. Your Majesty must pay attention when traveling. Safe, I look forward to my emperor's return as soon as possible."
There is no need to doubt Sun Chengzhong's loyalty to Zhu Youjian, and Li Banghua is definitely a loyal minister, but sometimes his head often short-circuits, so Zhu Youjian specifically explained it.
"That's it for today, the two lovers go back to rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
After the two cabinet ministers left, Zhu Youjian got up and went to Renshou Palace.
I haven't seen the two princesses for several days, and Zhu Youjian doesn't know when he will come back after he leaves. He still has to make arrangements for the two princesses.
When passing through the imperial garden, Zhu Youjian suddenly found that the imperial garden seemed to have changed, as if there were many more flowers that were not there before.
When the bandits besieged the city, Emperor Chongzhen dismissed the court ladies and eunuchs, and the imperial garden was left unattended for a long time. After Zhu Youjian entered the Qianqing Palace, the imperial garden gradually came back to life.Fastest update../ ../
Because it is winter now, many flowers will not bloom, and many plants have lost their leaves, so Zhu Youjian can feel that the imperial garden has changed.
In front of a plum blossom, a beautiful figure was busy, and her body was also stained with some dust and dirt, but it did not affect her beauty at all. At this time, she was concentrating on arranging these plum blossoms.
Zhu Youjian walked over, and heard almost some movement behind him, the beauty slowly got up and looked back at Zhu Youjian, both of them were taken aback:
"His Majesty……"
"Qinglian? How can you do these things?"
That's right, the beauty in front of the flower is Qinglian, and there are some dirt marks on her face, she seems to be one with the imperial garden.
When she first saw Zhu Youjian, Qinglian's pretty face flushed, and she seemed a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.
Qinglian gave Zhu Youjian a deep blessing:
"Your Majesty, Qinglian likes to grow flowers. She has a lot of free time now. Arranging some flowers and plants in the imperial garden feels like it can cultivate her heart and mind."

"Cultivate your mind?"
Hearing this word, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but look at Qinglian more.Recommended reading../../
Now Qinglian has changed a lot from before, completely turning into a girl next door.
She can no longer see the slightest shadow of the past. When she is alone, she is gentle and quiet, and looks harmless to humans and animals all day long.
In fact, Qinglian is a pure girl by nature, but she was led astray by the White Lotus Sect, and now she has changed her past, she just wants to be the purest self.
Sometimes she helps the princess, sometimes she reads a book, sometimes she sits quietly in the imperial garden alone, watching the butterflies fly and smelling the fragrance of flowers, and now she is interested in repairing flowers and plants again.
Qinglian saw from the emperor's eyes that he was thinking too much, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said shyly:
"Well, it's good to cultivate your mind and cultivate your character, don't worry about worldly affairs, cultivate flowers and grass, this kind of life is also very good, as long as Your Majesty doesn't drive Qinglian away, Qinglian can be the director of your imperial garden."
Zhu Youjian reached out and wiped away a few drops of mud from Qinglian's pretty face:
"Drive you away? Why did I drive you away? In a few days, someone will build you a few houses in the Royal Garden. If you like, you can live here."
Qinglian shook her head:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but that's not good. Others can talk, so I don't want it."
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"Only I know what kind of person my woman is. Others have no right to make irresponsible remarks. Do I have to kill you if those people don't like you?"
Qinglian's eyes turned red, and she suddenly prostrated herself on the ground:
"Thank you for your understanding, Qinglian has nothing else to ask, as long as your majesty does not look at Qinglian as the head of the female devil, Qinglian is willing to be the gardener of this imperial garden."
Zhu Youjian reached out and pulled Qinglian up. Qinglian's beautiful eyes were very pure. He didn't see any distracting thoughts in Qinglian's eyes. Now Zhu Youjian believed 100% that Qinglian would not lie.
In order to confirm the thoughts in his heart, and to restore Qinglian's innocence and justice, Zhu Youjian's thoughts quietly entered the system:
"System test Qinglian's attributes."
"Ding, identity, former Saintess of the White Lotus Sect."
"Ding, with her current identity, she is the only girl in the palace who has an affair with the host."
"Ding, xinxing, quiet and gentle, indifferent to the world, no scheming!"
"Ding, loyalty to the host is 100"
"Ding, politics blank, force blank, courage 60, intelligence 60."
"Ding, perfect lover, not sociable, not suitable to be the master of the harem."
Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the system's test results on Qinglian.
It is not only related to Zhu Youjian's personality charm, but also shows that Qinglian is kind in nature.
The author doesn't understand why some readers can't see Qinglian getting better, so they leave the book because Zhu You inspected Qinglian. In this book, Qinglian is definitely much purer than Qinhuai Bayan.
Whether it's Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, or other beauties, they are all from the romantic place, and they don't know that they have experienced too many men.
As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he would never accept other people's second-hand goods. Zhu Youjian could use them to make money, but he would never take them into the harem.
It is also said that the author is very big. In fact, so far in this book, the bandits have been wiped out, and the captives of the East are also dying soon, and Zhu Youjian only has a Qinglian. As an emperor, it is already very rare.
Zhu Youjian gently smoothed out the wind-blown hair on Qinglian's face:
"Qinglian, who came up with your name?"
"Reporting to the emperor, Qinglian doesn't know, since Qinglian can remember, others have been calling her concubine Qinglian."
Zhu Youjian was taken aback:
