The breeze blew, and the palace lanterns outside the Ganqing palace couldn't help but sway a few times, and the weak candlelight was about to go out, and the sound of the distance was getting farther and farther away.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneeze. During the day, since he saw Hai Lanzhu, his face seemed to be engraved in his mind, and his graceful figure was always lingering in his mind.

Zhu Youxiao, who has always been more focused, cannot handle the backlog of government affairs, and even feels inexplicably irritable. He feels more and more lazy after becoming an emperor for a long time.

The eunuch Liu Ruoyu, who was on duty at the Sili Supervisor, walked in. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was bored and flipping through the same memorial, he also saw that His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but say carefully:

"Your Majesty, Master Li asked for a visit."

"Li Mingrui? Why are he here to do so late?" Zhu Youxiao said, and couldn't help but look up at the newly developed large clock by the Royal Industrial Company and several missionaries. It was only at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty. In the later generations, it was only about seven o'clock, but why did he feel that it had been a long time?

Since it is a Cabinet Grand Secretary who seeks his visit, it is probably not a trivial matter.

Zhu Youxiao felt that no matter how anxious he was to taste the beauty, he had to do his duty as a leader of the empire, so he said, "Let him come in and talk to me about a curse of the clear heart."

Liu Ruoyu responded. Although he was a eunuch, he was also a senior intellectual from the Nei Shutang. He was no less talented than the Jinshi in the Outer Court. Therefore, Yiqing's heart mantra was very good. Before he knew it, Zhu You's heart fire suppressed a lot.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Li Mingrui has now grown up a beard, and there is a little white frost under the brim of the black gauze with cloud patterns, which is more stable than before.

Zhu Youxiao yawned, lay on his back on the throne, pointed to a mat and said, "Sit down, don't be restricted, today is you on duty at the West Warehouse?"

"Thank you Your Majesty to give you a seat", but for some reason, Li Mingrui seemed very polite and polite tonight, not as casual as before in front of the king Zhu Youxiao. After sitting down, he replied respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, today I am indeed on duty. Seeing that the lights here are still on, you come over to see Your Majesty."

"Well," Zhu Youxiao responded lightly. He had been the emperor for so long, and he could figure out the thoughts of these ministers, especially these famous emperors who were very popular. Once there was something bad about it, he would always deliberately put his attitude very upright. So seeing Li Mingrui like this, he couldn't help but feel cold: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Li Mingrui bowed slightly: "Now that the Imperial Guards have won the flag and swept across the Korqin tribe and the Khalkha tribe, Mr. Lu Ge made an indelible contribution. The group of students from the Royal Military Academy have achieved unexpected results, which is really gratifying. Even Weichen heard that they captured a prisoner named Hai Lanzhu into the capital and presented it to His Majesty?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said nothing. He wanted to see what medicine was sold in Li Mingrui's gourd.

"Your Majesty, I have a ruthless request." Li Mingrui was relieved when he saw Zhu Youxiao responding. He was afraid that Zhu Youxiao would not admit it, but now he has saved a lot of talk and knelt down.

"Get up, there is something to say clearly, there is no need to do this," Zhu Youxiao replied.

Li Mingrui pretended to be nervous and wiped his forehead: "I ask Your Majesty to kill Hai Lanzhu immediately!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned because Li Mingrui said this very loudly, very powerfully, and beyond his expectations. Li Mingrui, who has always been as cunning as Qian Qianyi (although Li Mingrui is not old), would suddenly let him kill Hai Lanzhu!

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao asked gritted his teeth. He probably guessed some reasons, but he couldn't help but ask Li Mingrui.

"There are three reasons. First, Hailanzhu is the daughter of Mongolia, and Your Majesty accepts it inappropriately; second, most beauty is a disaster, and Your Majesty will sink into beauty because of it; third, the soldiers should not be able to offer beauty first," Li Mingrui said without hesitation.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but approach Li Mingrui. Seeing that he had already seen sweat on his forehead, he knew that he was brave enough to come, so he couldn't help but turn anger into laughter, and patted Li Mingrui on the head with the memorial: "Do you think you have lived too long?"

"Your Majesty! If you want to be the emperor of the ages, you should do this. Since ancient times, wise monarchs have done this." Li Mingrui's words made Zhu Youxiao angry and angry. He really wanted to kick Li Mingrui away because he didn't expect that the person he promoted had learned to kidnap himself morally, and he couldn't help but curse secretly, when did he say that he wanted to be the emperor of the ages and wise monarch!

"No!"

Zhu Youxiao only replied to these two words. If Li Mingrui knew the tact, he would have retreated when he knew the difficulties. If he didn't know the tact, he would not blame himself for being cruel once.

Li Mingrui was also smart and hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty is reluctant to leave, I dare to ask Your Majesty to treat you tonight and immediately give the Hai Lanzhu to death!"

Zhu Youxiao settled down, and then he realized that Li Mingrui might have been playing psychological tactics with him from the beginning, and only then did he put forward the most realistic suggestions.

In order to give the scholars and people all over the world a manifestation that they are a wise monarch for the ages, they had to kill Hai Lanzhu to prove that they were not greedy for beauty. However, as a male, a male animal of both sexes, he could not get rid of the temptation of this beauty, especially this temptation that was within reach, and Li Mingrui perfectly solved this problem.

"Li Mingrui, Li Mingrui, you Li Mingrui!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know how to evaluate Li Mingrui, but he had to admit that he did not let him enter the cabinet in vain and became his most caring minister.

"I can consider your advice, you go down." Zhu Youxiao did not give Li Mingrui a clear answer. Although he knew that this might be a good choice, he did not want to make himself so hypocritical and cruel, and even had some resistance to do so.

Hai Lanzhu is still alone no matter how you say it. She also has the power to live. Even if she is not beautiful, she is just an ordinary prisoner. It is too much to take away her life. Now she has to possess her body first and then take away her life. If she does this, she will probably not even recognize herself in the future.

Li Mingrui also understood Zhu You's heart's entanglement, and he did not dare to force each other. As a Confucian minister, it was necessary for him to advise his Majesty not to abandon his great cause because of his beauty, nor would he be willing to show that everything would be extreme and he would turn to his political future.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know how long he had been in the Qianqing Palace. It was not until Wang Chengen appeared in front of him instead of Liu Ruoyu that he had reported that everything was ready.
