As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately frowned, and he immediately remembered that damn Zhou Kui, the queen wanted to see herself, could it be because of him?

Estimate the time, it is estimated that it should be the end of seeing Zhou Kui at this time.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see what Empress Zhou was looking for herself, and what did she want to say? So he summoned him by decree.

After a while, Queen Zhou really came over in a hurry. According to the rules and regulations of etiquette, Emperor Chongzhen reminded him of his usual behavior as an empress, and the anger in his heart was much less.

Seeing that Empress Zhou asked Emperor Chongzhen with a worried face: "Your Majesty, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I don't want to ask about outside affairs." However, Ci Hong and Yu Jiao were born to me, as their mother, I want to ask, both of them are still young, let them do things, especially Yu Jiao, and let her be someone's maid, it's unheard of, this ...... Your Majesty, is it appropriate? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen understood her feelings, and remembering the current situation, he sighed and said, "It's true that you are their mother, but don't forget that I am also their father." If I didn't have to, would I do it? ”

Empress Zhou listened, looked at him for a while, and still showed concern and asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to say the real reason, because it was related to Zhang Mingwei's magical origin. But if you don't say anything, you can't seem to say anything. After thinking about it, he said solemnly to Empress Zhou: "The defeat of Songshan, I believe you should already know. The main army of the imperial court was completely annihilated, and now there are almost no available soldiers, and the country is in danger. Let the two of them do things, just for ZTE Daming, understand? ”

Hearing this, Queen Zhou's mood was also significantly lower. Daming's wind and rain are shaking, she can naturally feel it. I wanted to sigh, but I was afraid that it would affect Emperor Chongzhen's mood, so I had to forcibly hold back and say: "Cihong is going south, I can understand, so I won't say anything." But what about the concubine? She is the eldest princess of Daming Hall, but she wants to be someone else's maid, this is simply a terrifying thing, does this also have anything to do with Zhongxing Daming? ”

Speaking of this, she also showed a little puzzlement, and seemed to be a little hateful and said: "She is so young and ignorant, and this kind of thing to be someone else's maid actually makes me feel like she has a sense of joy, no matter what I say, I don't listen." This...... I really don't know what's going on! ”

Well, Emperor Chongzhen has to admit that letting his eldest daughter be someone else's maid does sound absurd; However, isn't it even more absurd that people in later generations suddenly cross in front of them?

However, this is how this happened, no matter how absurd it is, it is a fact!

Thinking so, he emphasized again: "I don't agree with this! I think our daughter has grown up, knows filial piety, knows right from wrong, and is a good child! ”

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen's mind remembered the scene where Zhu Yujiao seriously said that she was willing, even sacrificing her life!

Thinking of this, he was very pleased, and said to Queen Zhou again: "This is her own choice, not forced her." You don't have to worry about that. Believe in her, and believe in me, this matter is of great benefit to her and to Daming. ”

"......" Queen Zhou was speechless when she heard this, how could she feel that this was so unreliable, and it would be of great benefit to be someone else's maid? It can't be to be a fairy maid, right?

Thinking of this, she immediately sensed the crux of the problem, and hurriedly asked curiously, "Your Majesty, who is that gentleman?" I heard that His Majesty values it very much, why have I never heard of it before? ”

It's weird if you've heard of it before! Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, so he said seriously: "The origin of Mr. is incredible, you don't have to worry about it." Just remember that he is more important than anyone else in the world today. Without him, Daming has no future! ”

"......" Empress Zhou was dumbfounded again when she heard this, feeling that there was no obstacle to communicating with Emperor Chongzhen before, but no matter how she communicated today, she couldn't understand it!

Thinking like this, she suddenly had a very strong impulse towards this so-called gentleman, and longed to meet him at once, to see what kind of person he was, and to make His Majesty say so many incomprehensible words.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that she didn't speak, he asked her, "If it's okay, I'm going to be busy!" ”

Hearing this, Empress Zhou immediately thought about it, and came over by herself, in addition to the matter of her son and daughter, there was also the matter of her father, so she said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I heard that Your Majesty wants to borrow money from the imperial family in order to train a new army and reorganize the imperial army?" ”

The court has no money, and of course Empress Zhou also knows about it. Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen's underwear was torn, so why did she need to sew it up and wear it again.

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved, thinking that this thing had finally come.

So, he remained silent and nodded, "That's right! ”

When Empress Zhou heard this, she said earnestly: "Jiadingbo is the head of the emperor's nobles, and he should be an example." He came to see me, and cried that the house was nervous, and that he wanted to do his best for His Majesty, but he didn't have the ability. Therefore, I gave him some jewelry and the like, and asked him to sell it and take the initiative to hand it over to the imperial court, so that other royal relatives and nobles could see it, and they would not find any more reasons to shirk. ”

"......" Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be speechless.

He never expected that Zhou Kui entered the palace to deceive his own daughter, and he wanted his daughter to pay for the money, and he wanted to lose face?

Looking at Queen Zhou's earnest face, he could also understand what Queen Zhou was thinking. But the more this happened, the more he felt that Zhou Kui was hateful. So, Emperor Chongzhen slammed the table and said hatefully: "What an old man of Zhou Kui!" ”

"......" Empress Zhou didn't expect him to be so angry, and after being stunned for a while, she hurriedly asked, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said hatefully: "You really have a good father!" Do you really believe he's nervous? Do you know how much money there is in Jiadingbofu? ”

"......" Queen Zhou was dumbfounded when she heard this, and only then did she remember that there should not be a shortage of money in Jiadingbo's mansion!

She immediately remembered her father's usual stinginess, and it was really possible that she was hiding her money and didn't want to take it out!

However, as soon as Empress Zhou thought of this, she felt a little impossible, so she replied in a somewhat uncertain tone, "But this is a big thing!" My father must know that his glory and wealth come from His Majesty and from the Crown Prince. If the situation is in danger, I believe he will not be happy. No matter what, he should be of the same mind with His Majesty and the court! My dad isn't a three-year-old anymore, so he won't be able to recognize that, right? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen himself was stunned. Logically speaking, this should indeed be the case, could it be that he really has no money?

But as soon as he remembered that this old puppet sold the prince for himself, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care whether he had money or not, anyway, he refused to forgive this old puppet.

As he was thinking this, he heard a proclamation from outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty, the silver donated by Jiading Bo has been handed over to the palace." ”

So fast? When Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou heard this, they couldn't help but have this doubt in their hearts.

After a while, the eunuch Xu Gao was allowed to enter the palace, and once again played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, just now Jiadingbo has handed over the silver, saying that the emperor is in urgent need of silver, he is anxious for the emperor, not only has he collected the silver, but also has a lot!" ”
