6 The Queen Mother apparitions
I saw Zhang Mingwei look at Princess Kunxing and said, "Let's sit and eat together!" ”
Wang Chengen stood beside Emperor Chongzhen with his hands down, but Princess Kunxing stood beside him and did not sit at the table, which made him have to stop his chopsticks and say this.
In the end, there were only three people who were seated, including Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Mingwei and Prince Zhu Cihong.
"Since I am the lady-in-waiting of the master, how can I be at the table with the master!" Princess Kunxing seemed to be entering the role quickly, and immediately replied.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he said seriously: "Since it is my maid, then I have the final say." In the future, when we eat, we all eat together, and I have the final say. ”
At this time, of course, it was impossible for him to immediately summon Princess Kunxing. After all, no matter how much she is a maid, she is also a princess, and there is always a difference between her and ordinary people.
Besides, no matter what, Princess Kunxing is the daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, although Emperor Chongzhen himself took the initiative to ask his daughter to serve him. If he really called Princess Kunxing as an ordinary maid, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhang Mingwei treating his daughter so politely, and immediately felt more favorable.
This point is even more obvious in the crown prince Zhu Cihong. Staring at Zhang Mingwei's eyes, it was full of gratitude.
And Princess Kunxing herself, after staring into Zhang Mingwei's eyes for a while, turned her head to look at his father. After all, she has not experienced the world, and her father is here, so she still has to listen to what Emperor Chongzhen has to say in the end.
But needless to say, it can be seen that she is more grateful to Zhang Mingwei.
"Since Mr. said it, do what Mr. says, and remember not to go against Mr.'s wishes!" Emperor Chongzhen will not disagree, whether it is because of Zhang Mingwei's words or for his daughter.
When Princess Kunxing heard this, she was obviously a little more happy, blessed Zhang Mingwei slightly, and then sat down.
Next, of course, it's time for dinner.
No matter what, Zhang Mingwei couldn't let go completely, and he was relatively reserved when he ate, but he was full of food.
This dinner was eaten in relative silence.
It may be the reason why the food is silent, or it may be the reason for what you have just seen and heard, it is very shocking for everyone, and you need to take the opportunity to digest it well.
………………
After eating and withdrawing from the table, there were still a few of them in the hall, obviously to talk by candle and night.
Emperor Chongzhen asked with a solemn expression: "Now that the state affairs are difficult, please teach me!" ”
Zhang Mingwei listened and said seriously: "Although I know about major historical events, I am not familiar with the details, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to elaborate on the current situation, so that I can talk about it according to the specific situation." ”
Instead of talking endlessly, but cautiously, this is what doing big things looks like. This detail made Emperor Chongzhen look forward to the future even more. Therefore, he hurriedly asked Wang Chengen to introduce the current situation, while Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao listened on the side.
After listening, Zhang Mingwei didn't wait for Emperor Chongzhen to ask again, so he took the initiative to speak: "For now, the most important thing is that I think it is a grain word, and then it is a money word." With money and food, you can have soldiers and horses, and you can also resettle the victims, stabilize the situation, and then try to do other things! ”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately nodded, but immediately said with a bitter face: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but where should the money and food come from?" I have a headache every day, and it's all because of this! I'm afraid the gentleman doesn't know, this money and food ...... Alas......"
At this, he sighed heavily, showing a strong sense of powerlessness.
To tell the truth, during this period, not only the Ming Dynasty was short of food, but also the Jianyu and Mongolian tribes were also short of food. However, there is no shortage of them.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, can you remember what was mentioned in the documentary, the thieves entered Beijing and recovered the stolen goods. Although it is debatable to say that a total of 70 million taels of silver were looted, it can also be explained that the wealth of Jingshi is definitely a lot. And even if more people starve to death, can the powerful in the capital starve to death? They definitely have a lot of food in stock. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, but soon, it darkened again, shook his head and said: "Mr. doesn't know, borrowing money from Jingshi Xungui has happened before, but ...... But there's not much to gain! ”
In the end, he was too embarrassed to mention how much money he borrowed.
Zhang Mingwei listened to this, and couldn't help but remind again: "Your Majesty, of course, there won't be many people who want to be willing, but when the national crisis is at hand, extraordinary means can be used......"
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen understood what he meant, and immediately shook his head again and again: "I can't help it, I can't make it......"
"......" Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, what else could he not do?
When Emperor Chongzhen saw his expression, he hurriedly explained: "A few years ago, Li Guorui, Marquis of Wuqing, had 400,000 yuan of silver left by his father, but he did not give a little to his brother Li Guochen, so Li Guochen was willing to donate half of the silver he deserved to the imperial court. I rejoiced, and I was appointed. Outcome...... As a result, the Empress Dowager Xiaoding has been promoted to the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, and the manifestation of the spirit is on my fifth son. Alas......"
At that time, there was a lot of trouble. Li Guorui said that there is no money, your emperor must ask for money, so he went to the street to sell pots and pans to make money. Then Zhou Kui, the national abbot, also proposed, saying that if the emperor wanted money, he would also help make it up.
When such a shameless thing was done, Emperor Chongzhen at that time was naturally furious and deprived Li Guorui of his title. Then, a few days later, Li Guorui was said to have died of fright.
Subsequently, there were rumors in Jingshi that Li Guorui was the grandson of the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoding had ascended to the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, blaming the emperor in heaven for despising his relatives, and each of the emperor's sons would die young, and retribution would come to the emperor's fifth son first.
Soon, Emperor Chongzhen's fifth son really died, which made him very frightened, and hurriedly named Li Guorui's seven-year-old son Cunshan as a marquis, returned all the gold and silver he paid, and then never mentioned asking Xungui for money.
At this time, when Emperor Chongzhen put it aside for so long to talk about it, it was obvious that he still had a sense of fear.
Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were too, with a look of fear and awe on their faces. If their father hadn't reined in the precipice, maybe they wouldn't have survived this time.
Zhang Mingwei wrote the history of the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he checked this information. Therefore, when I heard it, I laughed out loud, as if I heard a very funny news, which immediately diluted the terrifying and heavy atmosphere in the hall.
"I wonder why Mr. is laughing?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little embarrassed, it was obvious that there was something wrong with him, so he had to ask.
Zhang Mingwei put away his laughter, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the ghosts and gods say, just stay away." As far as the matter is concerned, this incident encountered by Your Majesty is definitely the collusion of the nobles in the palace and the murder of your son. ”
His conclusion made Emperor Chongzhen's mouth open wide in surprise, which was really too unexpected for him. Even Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao on the side were very shocked.
However, although Wang Chengen was also shocked, he performed slightly better than them. It may not be the person's fault, or it may be a little more life experience.
Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses and said seriously: "Sir, this matter is no joke! ”
Whether it is the promotion of the Empress Dowager to the Ninth Bodhisattva, or the collusion inside and outside the palace, it is a very important matter. It is impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to believe it just because Zhang Mingwei said it.
Zhang Mingwei listened to it and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I still have the last bit of battery on my mobile phone, you can watch another documentary, and we will talk about it again." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned on his mobile phone, called up the space documentary, projected it on a white cloth, and pulled it from time to time, mainly to show them what the earth is like, what the moon is like, and what the solar system is like.
Before I finished watching the film, my phone was completely out of battery.
Zhang Mingwei regretted it in his heart, then turned to look at the stunned Emperor Chongzhen, and said to him: "There is no Chang'e Wu Gang on the moon at all!" In my time, you could go to the moon as long as you took a spaceship. I don't dare to say that there is no such thing as a god or a ghost, but historically, there is no such thing as a god apparition. And some of the so-called spells are actually tricks and the like, which are all deceptive things. ”
This statement is too novel, and it is also thanks to the fact that they have already watched historical documentaries before, otherwise, if they suddenly look at this, the worldview must collapse.
After Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, no one expected that it was the prince who questioned his words first: "I have seen one, what I have seen with my own eyes, if it is not possessed by immortals, it is impossible at all!" ”
As he spoke, everyone turned their heads to look at him.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he let out an "oh", thinking that he would not be slapped in the face, right? It would be embarrassing if that were the case!
Thinking so in his heart, he asked the prince, "What kind of immortal possession?" ”
