Chapter 143: Inner Sage and Outer King

"The guy who invented something like Hehuan Powder is a genius!"

The next morning, Zhou Ming woke up from a large bed with carved phoenixes and pushed away the woman who was pressing on his chest. Zhou Ming sat up with no arms and complained depressedly.

Hehuansan, this mysterious drug that is many times more powerful than Viagra, Zhou Ming has never heard of, and after taking it, it has the terrifying effect of speeding up the blood, preventing it from breaking out for half a moment, and possibly causing death. , is simply a medical bug in this world.

Geniuses, only geniuses, could prepare this kind of drug with astonishing effects that caused him a big fight.

"My enemy, you are so cruel to me. I can't even move down there now. Can't you be gentler?"

A jade hand tapped her chest twice, but it was Princess Changping who woke up leisurely and said with a hint of complaint.

"Who told you to drug me? How can you, a woman, be so dissolute? I am your sister's husband, how could you do such a ridiculous thing? I really have nothing to say to you."

Zhou Ming shook his head, feeling very disgusted. He opened the quilt with his hands and prepared to put on his clothes and leave.

However, I got out of bed and looked around. Except for the rags on the floor, there was not a complete piece of men's clothes. There were quite a few colorful women's clothes.

Seeing his busy searching figure, Princess Changping on the couch was quiet for a while, and suddenly said to him: "Five years ago, I wrote to you many times, inviting you to come to my Yongle Palace as a guest, but you were rejected many times. Refuse, ignore me, and instead have a warm relationship with my sister Anping... From then on, I have been looking forward to this day, doing what you want to do with you..."

"In addition to these things, what else is there in your mind? Would a normal person dare to come to your Yongle Palace as a guest?"

After hearing what the woman said, Zhou Ming, who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, turned to say to her.

"Hmph! I know how you men feel. Don't you just hate it when we women have sex with multiple men at the same time? Where can you men go? Five years ago, there were only three people in my palace who were with me. If you hadn't rejected me, how could I have reached such a level of male favorites who share my interests? If you hadn't rejected me then and were willing to be my consort, I would also abide by the ways of a woman and chase away those male favorites. But you once No chance was given to me either..."

Princess Changping's endless plaintive words made Zhou Ming hesitate, with a strange look on his face, and he complained in his heart: Do you blame me, Wocao?

After a long time, he said: "Your Highness Princess, if you were a man, what you said would make some sense, but you are a woman. How can women and men be the same?"

"Why is it different?!"

Princess Changping immediately retorted: "My mother once said to me that we women can do anything that men can do, or even do better! I just want to prove to the world: There is nothing except Except for men, women can’t do it!”

After hearing this, a term popped up in Zhou Ming's mind:

Feminist.

This Princess Changping, like her mother Wu Mei, is an extremely rare feminist in this era.

The most specific manifestation of the so-called feminism is that they are very strong, even stronger than men. They can do what men are asked to do, and they must do it better.

But you must know that this era is a patriarchal era where ethics are prevalent and women are severely constrained and oppressed. Feminists who want to break free from the constraints and do all kinds of big things, in this era, are simply going against the will of heaven. The presence.

"Okay, just do what you want, Your Highness Princess. Can you lend me two men's clothes? I have to go back. I can't be naked like this, right?"

"In the bottom box over there, there are some clothes worn by my late husband. You can take out a few and wear them."

Speaking of her late husband, Princess Changping's expression dimmed and she fell into a burst of sad memories.

In fact, Princess Changping more than ten years ago was not what she is now. At that time, she was innocent, carefree, and outstanding in appearance. When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was proposed to by the Zeng Tufan envoy. Li Zhihe Wu Mei didn't want her beloved daughter to marry far away, and couldn't refuse directly, so she built a Changping Taoist temple for her to live in and used the excuse of becoming a monk, thus avoiding the marriage.

When she was sixteen, Princess Changping offered to find a husband for herself. She fell in love with Princess Chengyang's second son, Xue Shao, and recruited him as her consort. After the two got married, the couple had a deep relationship and within seven years, they gave birth to a child. With four children, Princess Changping stayed by herself during this period, and no untoward incidents were reported.

Later, Xue Shao's brother Xue Yi participated in the "exhibition of the queen" incident against Wu Mei. When the incident failed, Xue Shao was implicated. He was punished by a hundred queens and starved to death in prison. Princess Changping once ran for her husband. , I begged my mother Wu Mei for mercy, but it was all in vain. After being depressed for several years, I became like this.

Therefore, Queen Wu Mei played a major role in the transformation and shaping of Princess Changping's character.

From the dusty box, he took out a robe and put it on himself, fastened the buttoned belt, and arranged his hair style. Zhou Ming bowed his hand to Princess Changping: "Your Highness, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now..." After taking a few steps, he remembered something, turned back and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any contraceptive methods? It's better to be careful about what happened last night..."

"Hmph! You men are always like this..."

Princess Changping rolled her eyes at him: "I have eight male favorites in my palace. Several years have passed. Is it obvious that I am not careful? Don't worry, the medicine has been prepared and I will take it soon."

"That's good."

Zhou Ming nodded, raised his hand again, and strode out of Yongle Palace.

Looking at the retreating figure, after putting on her late husband's robe, she had an illusion that she had seen her before. She couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she gently stroked her belly with her hand, and murmured: "Mr. Zihua, Are you comparable to those eight male favorites? If I can be pregnant with your child, that is what I wish for."

A few months later.

In the Daming Palace, Zhou Ming discovered that the frequency of Princess Changping's appearance in front of everyone had decreased, and the number of visits to Emperor Li Zhi, who was getting more and more seriously ill, was even reduced to a pitiful level. Several princes privately criticized: "Father, the Emperor" The condition is so serious, but Chang Ping doesn't come to visit him. It's so unfilial and annoying!

Until that day, when I passed by the back door of Yongle Palace, I happened to see a woman wearing a white gauze, being supported by two palace maids, and with a big belly. When she entered Yongle Palace, Zhou Ming recognized her at a glance and called out to her: "Your Highness, stay!"

The woman stopped when she heard this.

Zhou Ming walked up to her, took action like lightning, and pulled off the veil from the woman's face. He then stood there for a few seconds, pointed at her bulging belly, and asked directly: "Your Highness, the father of the fetus in your belly should be Who?"

"Of course it's yours, who else could it be but you?"

Seeing Zhou Ming's confused look, Princess Changping covered her mouth and giggled.

"You, didn't you say you took the medicine? Why..."

Zhou Ming felt like his head was getting bigger. What time is it now? Emperor Li Zhi only had a few months left at most, and Princess Changping actually did something like this. Yes, judging from the time, it seemed that he had sown the seeds, and she wanted to give birth to a son or a monkey. Zhou Ming can't care about it, but he still has to pay attention to his sense of propriety. How is this decent?

If other members of the royal family see it...

"Don't worry, my mother already knows about this, and she hasn't punished me yet. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will tell you?"

The thirty-two-year-old Princess Changping winked at him mischievously, still giggling at him like a sixteen-year-old girl, her flowers trembling.

"Just take care of yourself and don't involve me."

After saying something calmly, Zhou Ming put the matter behind him and said to himself: It's not that I don't want to be responsible, it's just that you are not an ordinary woman. If there is a scandal between us, I'm afraid the next day, I You have to escape from this place where you are not suitable to stay for a long time.

Another three months passed.

When I saw Princess Changping again in Hanyuan Hall, in front of the bedside of Emperor Li Zhi, her big belly had disappeared. Except for her face being a little pale and her body exuding a faint smell of milk stains, everything else was as usual. After talking a lot with his father Li Zhi, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he heard a violent cough and the sound of "vomit~vomit~". He turned around and was stunned. :

I don't know what happened. Emperor Li Zhi, who was in good condition in the past, suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, scaring everyone into panic and crying.

Two more days passed, and the situation became worse and worse. Emperor Li Zhi fell into a cycle of coma, high fever, awakening, and vomiting blood. The period of awakening was getting shorter and shorter. It seemed that the end was approaching.

That morning, after a bowl of ginseng soup, Emperor Li Zhi seemed to have become very conscious. He called Zhou Ming over and made a request in his ear that surprised him:

He asked Zhou Ming to write an article for him.

Write an article specifically describing all the achievements he achieved during his reign.

In other words, write an article that narrates your life, praises your merits, and concludes the coffin in advance.

Zhou Ming consulted the queen Wu Mei for her opinion. Wu Mei knew that this was not in line with etiquette, but she still nodded, asked someone to bring the desk, brought paper and pen, and approved Zhou Ming to write an article——

"The Chronicles of the Ming Emperor"

This article has more than 3,000 words, describing the emperor Li Zhi from being generous, kind and brotherly when he was a prince, to knowing and making good use of people in politics, intensifying the efforts to recruit scholars through the imperial examination, introducing good policies to alleviate the conflicts among the people, and codifying and perfecting laws. The law greatly reduced the crime rate in society; in terms of military affairs, famous generals emerged one after another. They successively conquered the Western Regions, pacified the Eastern and Western Turks, defeated Gaoji, Bailuo and other countries, and made the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty the largest in history.

This article, "The Chronicles of the Ming Emperor", finally concluded:

"Throughout his life, His Majesty was kind and filial, and he loved the people like his own son. Every time there was a criminal who was about to be sentenced to death, he would be investigated three times. After he was confirmed guilty, he would be sentenced again. He also reduced the corvee taxes for the people many times. Whenever there was a disaster, he would respond promptly and order people to live frugally. , to provide relief to the victims, for thirty-four years, civil unrest occurred all over the world, which is unprecedented...

Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He has used troops abroad all the year round without greatly damaging the national power and people's power. He has expanded the territory and conquered countless foreign races in the surrounding areas. He has made the Turks flee far away, the Tufans have withdrawn their hands, and all the countries in the Western Regions have come to court. ...In domestic and foreign affairs, the Shang clan and the foreign clans, one's own country and other countries, behave in the way of a hegemonic king, staying close to each other and driving away from each other, becoming a sage within and a king outside, and he is the number one sage king throughout the ages! "

The historian read this article to the end. When Li Zhi, who was lying on the sick bed, heard the four words "Inner Saint and Outer King", he smiled with satisfaction, moved the corners of his mouth, and seemed to read it twice, and then, his body He softened, his arms dropped, and with that smile still on his face, he suddenly passed away.

"His Majesty the Ming Emperor, he has passed away greatly!"

Eunuch Ma Dexi cried with blood in his eyes, fell to his knees and cried miserably.
