Looking at the upper and lower 5,000 years, it seems that there is nothing worse than him?

Even the puppet kings in history, in order to coerce the world to order the princes, the powerful ministers also eat and drink well, and there has never been a shortage of duties.

But what about him?

Obviously, he can dictate everything, but he forcibly made the palace like the head hall of the beggar gang, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him were dressed in tatters, no different from the disciples of the beggar gang.

Shame on you!

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of personal character, the deity, as an emperor, is not greedy for enjoyment, and can be thrifty, and is undoubtedly a person of noble character.

But it is precisely because he is the king of a country, the leading brother of the entire Ming Dynasty!

Think about it, if you compare Daming to a company, the chairman is not as rich as ordinary shareholders or even executives, and the company's employees are so poor that they can't make ends meet.

Obviously, sooner or later, such a company will collapse.

This is the case with the current Daming.

"Queen, the inner library will soon be abundant, and the palace consumption does not need to shrink clothes and diet as in the past, and the palace consumption can be increased as appropriate.

Over the years, not only have they been wronged, but they have also lost the royal face, making the courtiers laugh. ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the slightly shabby clothes of the female officials in the palace, and said with a stern face.

"The concubine obeys!"

Looking at the desolate appearance of the female officials around her, Queen Zhou didn't say anything after all, and leaned over to receive the order.

It's just that her expression is not half happy, but she is lonely and full of worry.

To be honest, His Majesty said that the inner library would soon be abundant, and Empress Zhou understood what was going on.

Although the harem can't interfere in politics, everything that has happened recently, especially the things in the palace, Empress Zhou generally knows.

It is no secret that His Majesty cleaned up Dongchang and Jinyiwei, confiscated the heart of the slave king, Luo Yangxing and others, and executed Gao Qiqian.

Originally, I thought that this was just an expedient measure for His Majesty to prepare food and salary for the invasion of the Tartars and the imperial court to recruit a large army to King Qin.

Unexpectedly, now His Majesty actually embezzled it for the use of the palace.

But......

After all, this money is a source of water and a tree without roots, but the use of the palace is long-lasting, and it costs silver taels all the time, which is obviously not a long-term solution.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he was moved, but he also laughed dumbly.

Queen Zhou is also a poor and scared lord!

It seems that tonight, it is necessary to talk to her about himself.

There are some things that time flies, and as the mother of a country, it is time for her to know.

"Queen, for some time now, I have been thinking about it day and night, why I have been working hard to govern the Ming Dynasty since I ascended the throne, but why is the situation becoming more and more decadent and no improvement?"

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Empress Zhou's slightly worried face and asked slowly.

Yes, Your Majesty is right!

Empress Zhou raised her head, her eyes looked at the white hair on Emperor Chongzhen's sideburns, and a trace of crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and Qiong's nose was a little sour.

His husband was heartbroken for the Ming Dynasty, the rooster crowed, sleepless at night, diligent in government affairs, it can be said that he eats clothes and eats at night, and he is tired of doing things at night.

But in this case, why can't you let Daming Zhongxing, what is the problem?

Frowning slightly, Empress Zhou approached Emperor Chongzhen's side, snuggled her head on his shoulder and softly comforted: "At the beginning of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, the general trend has tilted, and the accumulated habits are irreversible.

However, His Majesty was determined to forge ahead and eradicate the traitorous eunuchs, making the government and the opposition clear and praising from top to bottom.

It's just that the luck is not good, the heavens are not beautiful, and the great disasters are continuous, which cannot be stopped by manpower. So much so that the mountains are full of thieves, and all directions are boiling.

At the same time, the non-stop harassment of foreign slave clowns led to the inability of the imperial court to suppress the thieves with all its might, and often fell short.

All this is due to the increasingly difficult situation.

However, the concubines believe that Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, as long as Your Majesty is unswerving, step by step, it will definitely be able to completely solve internal and external troubles, and it will be bright and clear. ”

From Empress Zhou's point of view, there is nothing wrong with this, but Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly, it would be good if things were like this, and there would be no need for me to save the Ming Dynasty.

Caressing Empress Zhou's hair, Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said something that made her tremble, "In fact, at the beginning of my accession to the throne, the eradication of the eunuch party has already created a catastrophe!" ”

Sure enough, Empress Zhou raised her head in discoloration, staring at Emperor Chongzhen with a shocked face.

Eradicating Wei Gelding is the proud work of His Majesty's life, and now she suddenly denies it completely, how can she not be surprised?

What's wrong with Your Majesty?

She tried to caress Emperor Chongzhen's forehead to see if he had a fever and was talking nonsense, but her hand was caught halfway.

Holding Empress Zhou's Rouyi, Emperor Chongzhen said with a heavy face: "Don't worry, the queen, am I awake?" I can only talk to you about this, but it is inconvenient outside. ”

When Queen Zhou heard this, she took a long breath and immediately put her mind at ease, but her eyes were puzzled.

Before she could open her mouth to ask, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with remembrance, and he sighed with emotion:

"Now that the situation of the imperial court party dispute has been completed, the financial and material resources have been exhausted, the national laws and regulations have been corrupted, and the disaster of the frontier has been serious, I can know the wise actions of the imperial brother.

It's a pity that I was young and couldn't understand what the imperial brother said: loyalty, loyalty, and great things. ”

Empress Zhou covered her mouth lightly, remembering all kinds of arrogant and domineering behaviors when Gonggong Wei was alive, knowing that His Majesty would have something to say next, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
