Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Days Are Gone
"Well, it's nothing, I just feel like it's a bit of a wretch, and I'm making you suffer!"
In the eye, Queen Zhou was wearing a bright yellow dress, slightly shabby, and there was no other jewelry on her head except for a tortoiseshell hairpin to pull up her hair bun.
On the beautiful cheeks, only a little blush is applied, and there is no heavy makeup.
The mother of a country, simple as this.
However, it is difficult to hide the natural beauty, the tender and smooth skin is like a new lily peeled from the shell, bright and dripping, and the small nose bridge is slightly wrinkled to make people pity.
Especially the eyes full of worry, gentle and amiable.
Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly warmed, he raised his head and sighed slightly, and said his truest thoughts frankly.
Man, it's okay to suffer yourself, but don't suffer your family members who share life and death with you.
The deity, you are confused!
"What is not bitter, and there has never been a lack of clothing? However, His Majesty has worked hard and must pay attention to the dragon body. Emperor, come and say hello to your father. ”
Seeing that nothing major had happened, Queen Zhou settled down in her heart, swept a touch of messy hair between her buns, and shouted towards the side hall.
His Majesty's ambition is higher than the sky, for the Ming Dynasty conscientious and conscientious, even if the country is difficult, still has no regrets about the original intention, more than diligent, this perseverance and determination, she is proud.
She is a woman's family, and nothing else can help, only to manage the harem well and not distract His Majesty, which is the greatest support for him.
Alas, what a virtuous man!
Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh slightly.
There is a feeling called mutual affection.
You think she's bitter, but she's happy.
Just to be by your side in the most difficult times and tide over the difficulties together.
Isn't that exactly the life of Empress Zhou?
For a moment, his eyes seemed to penetrate the future and explore the past.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the rebels besieged the capital, and the eunuch Wang Lian urgently told him, and the deity drank in the palace and sighed: "Bitter for my people!" ”
The eunuch Zhang Yin persuaded him to surrender and was stabbed to death with a sword.
After that, the deity ordered someone to send the prince to the house of Xun Qi Zhou Kui, and King Yong and King Ding entrusted it to Liu Wenbing and Liu Wenyao, and returned to the palace to write an edict, ordering Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, to lead the army and assist the prince Zhu Cihong.
Then he cried and said to Queen Zhou: "You are the mother of the country, and you deserve to be martyred." ”
Empress Zhou also cried and replied: "The concubine has been with you for eighteen years, and she has never disobeyed a word, and now Your Majesty has ordered the concubine to die, how dare you not die?"
After speaking, he opened the palace gate and let the eunuchs and palace maids of Kunning Palace flee for their lives, and hang themselves to death.
This is a great woman! We have to make her happy!
This is the oath of Emperor Chongzhen.
"Erchen has seen his father."
In the Kunning Palace, the ten-year-old prince Zhu Cihong tidied up his clothes, behaved elegantly, and greeted Emperor Chongzhen.
The prince is very sensible, well-behaved, and polite, but Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, a little displeased.
Without it, it's too sensible!
A child who is less than ten years old is a lively and active age, but from Zhu Cihong, Emperor Chongzhen saw the appearance of a little adult.
Needless to say, it must have been imprisoned by the rotten Confucianism's lively nature.
If they are not stopped, it is conceivable that even if they purge the righteous men and gentlemen in the future, a hundred years from now, the DPRK and China will definitely be their world again.
And history proves that a decent person does not seem to be a good emperor.
"The emperor is still too young, so he should not be restrained too much. In the future, they will learn the Enlightenment script in the morning, and the rituals in the afternoon will be abolished, and they will be allowed to play freely. ”
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said to Empress Zhou.
At the same time, he decided in his heart that the prince would personally teach in the future, and he must not let a righteous man and gentleman interfere in this matter.
"Your Majesty has you figured it out?"
Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen were originally a young husband and wife, and they knew each other very well, and they knew that their husbands were impatient and often did things casually, so they glanced at him and replied.
"Of course! I want to be the protector of the emperor and teach it personally, what can those rotten Confucians outside the palace teach? ”
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen let go of some knots and replied domineeringly.
Rotten?
Something strange?
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen, who was full of self-confidence, Empress Zhou's feelings were indescribable.
As a pillow person, who else can know her husband better than her?
Not to mention anything else, Your Majesty actually yearns for Confucianism, often lectures with courtiers every day, and is full of praise for their learning, how can you say that they are rotten Confucianism now?
However, the emperor is still young, and Empress Zhou didn't care too much, but ordered the palace maid to serve chicken soup and let Emperor Chongzhen sober up.
Perhaps, this is just His Majesty's drunken words?
Taking the chicken soup in the jade bowl, Emperor Chongzhen caught a glimpse of the patch on the female official Qingge's clothes, frowned, and instructed Empress Zhou:
"Queen, in the future, increase the use of the palace. In addition, let the Needlework Bureau weave two sets of pure cotton winter clothes for each person in the palace for winter. ”
Are the days gone?
Queen Zhou's eyes were full of surprise, and her face looked incredible.
There are four divisions, eight bureaus, and twelve eunuchs in the palace, and a total of twenty-four yamen, adding up to tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids, and the two winter clothes in His Majesty's mouth are fluttering, which will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver!
Especially in the current situation, outside the Tatar Garrison Pass, the imperial court called on the king of the world to be diligent, and the people in Beijing were panicked by martial law, and silver was everywhere.
However, as the master of the harem, how can Queen Zhou not know the financial situation of the inner treasury?
Even if it is sewn by the needlework bureau in the palace itself, where is the surplus silver taels to buy cotton clothes, add winter clothes to the palace, and increase the use of the palace?
Moreover, even if there is no danger of both money and silver, His Majesty will buy winter clothes for the eunuchs and maids in the palace at this time, and the courtiers outside will inevitably criticize it and say everything.
These people, they don't care what the actual situation in the palace is!
Doesn't Your Majesty know this?
Or is it that Your Majesty is worried about the current situation day and night, and his head is hot?
Or maybe Your Majesty fainted a few days ago and was a little unwise?
For a while, Queen Zhou's thoughts wandered, and she wanted to speak several times, not knowing how to dissuade her husband.
Seeing Empress Zhou's expression, Emperor Chongzhen drank the chicken soup in the bowl neatly, first smiled, and then shook his head helplessly.
Think about it, what a fuck thing, the deity, the king of a country, what has he mixed up?
