Of course Chongzhen has to go...... There is a mausoleum in Chengtian Mansion in Huguang, which is the mausoleum of Emperor Jiajing's father, Emperor Xingxian Zhu Youqi. Emperor Chongzhen is a descendant of Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Zhu Youqi is the ancestor!

Now that the ancestral tomb is about to be burned down by Li Zicheng for the second time, can Chongzhen, as a descendant, not go?

If you don't go, you'll be a Ming rebel sect. Zhu Cihong is a filial son, how can he bear his father Chongzhen to become a rebel?

So Zhu Cihong's meaning is still Chongzhen's personal expedition!

But if Chongzhen can't go, he has to speak by himself. Zhu Daxiaozi can't take a rope to tie Chongzhen to Wuchang......

So Zhu Cihong went to the Wuying Hall where Emperor Chongzhen lived with Wei Zaode, Wu Xiang, Li Yan and others.

Before they arrived, they heard the sound of silk and bamboo music.

Needless to say, the faint gentleman is appreciating the body art again...... Chongzhen is really getting more and more mediocre now! When the last time the royal driver came back, he issued an order to the Ministry of Rites to draft a girl!

Of course Zhu Cihong didn't agree, this kind of thing as a draft girl is too disturbing to the people, and Zhu Cihong's younger brothers and sisters are already a little too much! As a result, Chongzhen said in the court that Prince Zhu was not filial...... Prince Zhu had no choice, so he had to agree to let the parents of the folk beauties voluntarily sign up for their daughters - of course, there is a prize for registration, and if you choose, you will be given 1,000 taels of silver, and if you can't choose, you will be given 10 taels.

As a result, this fuss cost Zhu Cihong more than 100,000 taels, because Chongzhen chose a hundred beauties...... It's so unbelievable, how can it be like this?

However, Chongzhen, who has a hundred new beauties, is a lot more settled, and every day he is playing with Prince Zhu's "little mothers", appreciating body art, and by the way, making some princes and princesses for the Ming Dynasty!

"Father, my son has a military affair to say, how about a pause in singing and dancing?"

When Prince Zhu entered the Wuying Palace, the singing and dancing full of Western Regions style continued. The one who was dancing to Chongzhen was a mixed-race woman who was offered by the traitorous minister of Luo Dagong, and I don't know if it was the wild seed of the Western missionary who didn't love God and loved beauty?

This Grand Duke Luo was not afraid that this beautiful woman with a human blood would murder Chongzhen and send her to Nanjing, and the filial son Zhu Cihong wanted to arrest her and torture her there...... I didn't expect Chongzhen's faint gentleman to fall in love with him at a glance, and he also sealed a concubine!

"Ai Fei," Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand, Wen Yan said to the half-blood beauty, "You rest first, I will talk to the prince for a while." ”

The beauty was probably tired of dancing, and she ignored Chongzhen, so she hurriedly bowed, then moved the lotus step lightly and withdrew from the Wenhua Palace.

Chongzhen pouted, looking unhappy, "Brother Dachun (now there is a Brother Xiaochun), you came just in time, my Concubine Hu Ai likes Dongzhu, there is no one in the palace, you can find a few hundred larger ones for me to send." ”

What are hundreds of East Pearls? Zhu Cihong almost turned around and left! The wild pearls produced in the northeast are called East Pearls! Now the territory of the East Pearl is occupied by the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty has strict regulations on the harvesting of the East Pearl, and ordinary businessmen can't get it at all!

Where can Zhu Cihong get a few hundred, and a bigger Dongzhu? Do you want to go to Dolgon to buy it? Then you have to spend hundreds of thousands of taels?

Although the Ming Dynasty now has silver, it can't be squandered like this!

"Father!" Zhu Cihong's face was flat, and he said, "Erchen has just been rewarded, and he rebelled against Li Zicheng's generals to attack Tianfu, intending to excavate the tomb of the Rui Miao Lord!" ”

Now Li Zicheng is also a part-time inverted bucket - he must be the leader of the unloading ridge!

"Oh." Chongzhen nodded and looked at Zhu Cihong, "Brother Dachun, the mausoleum of the ancestor of Ruimiao is about to be dug up, so why don't you send troops?" Hurry up and send troops! It's too late to ......"

"Father!" Zhu Cihong shook his head, with a disappointed face, "You should drive the expedition yourself!" It's the same as the last time you played Hauge! ”

"Don't go, don't go," Chongzhen smiled, "It's fun here, don't be pro-Zheng!" ”

What the? It's fun here, not pro-...... Zhu Cihong was shocked, and said in his heart: How can you do this? You're a faint king!

Chongzhen seemed to see through Zhu Cihong's thoughts, and actually nodded with a smile, as if to say: I am a faint king! I want to open it now, how happy it is to be a faint king, you can ignore the government, and there are so many beautiful women to accompany you, and you can spend money indiscriminately...... There is no happiest thing in the world than to be a faint king.

"Brother Da Chun," Chongzhen smiled, "you hurry up and go on the expedition...... When you expel Li Zicheng from the Huguang land, my wish will be fulfilled! I will abdicate as the emperor, and in the future, I will enjoy myself leisurely, and I will no longer pay attention to the secular affairs of the DPRK and China! ”

This, this, this...... It's true?

"Is what the Holy One said true?" Shoufu Wei Zaode hurriedly asked.

"Really!" Chongzhen smiled, "I am as happy as a god now, and I am content with everything, so why should I be attached to the annoying position of power?" I can make a public announcement of this...... In short, I will not leave Nanjing, and I will no longer personally conquer, and the matter of the war will be decided by the prince of Fujun. ”

And to announce it at the grand court?

Zhu Cihong was moved now...... He's been waiting for this day for a long time! Although he can usurp the throne at any time, the usurped throne is not always justified. Besides, he is not a chaotic minister and thief like Dorgon, he is a serious crown prince, and the throne should be inherited by him, what is he trying to usurp the throne?

And as soon as this precedent is set, Zhu Cihong will be old in the future, so he can't worry about his sons' rebellion every day?

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong and fell into deep thought, slightly proud, and said with a smile: "Brother Dachun, don't shirk it...... In fact, I have long wanted to give way to you, but I am afraid that you will not be able to serve the public at a young age. If you can defeat the East Invaders first, and then break the Liukou, who else dares to disagree? What else do I have to worry about? ”

Is it? You finally want to open it?

Zhu Cihong was a little skeptical, but he still couldn't give up the opportunity to be the emperor in the name of justice...... So he sighed softly: "Father, the son doesn't want to be the emperor's ......."

Chongzhen nodded, and seemed to understand very much: Yes, how hard it is to be an emperor, it is all forced by life, and there is no way to be it! You, some of you are suffering!

"But there was Emperor Taizu Gao's dream before, and now there is a father who insists on giving in, if the son is not appropriate, it will be a big unfilial piety!" Zhu Cihong said, "Erchen has read sages since he was a child, and he knows that filial piety comes first, so how can he disobey Emperor Taizu Gao and his father?" ”

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, "I know that you are filial...... Tomorrow, I will convene a great court, and I will announce the matter of inner meditation in public.

By the way, when will I be able to deliver the Dongzhu I want? In addition, I have spent a lot of money these days, and 500,000 taels of gold and silver a year is not enough to spend! Brother Dachun, you are a filial son......"

This emperor is not easy to be, and filial piety is even more difficult to be! Together, I'm afraid it's even harder!

"Dongzhu's matter is wrapped up in Erchen," Zhu Cihong gritted his back molars and smiled, "As for the gold and silver flowers that honor my father...... Double it again, and give one million taels a year! ”

......

Zhu Cihong, Wei Zaode, Li Yan and Wu Xiang have left, but the singing and dancing in the Wuying Hall have not yet resumed.

When Zhu Cihong and Chongzhen were discussing the issue of inner meditation just now, Pang Tianshou was standing in the main hall, but he didn't have the slightest sense of existence, and he didn't come up to speak until this time.

"Emperor, do you really want to let it?"

Chongzhen's face had darkened, and he just snorted lightly: "Only when you retreat can you advance...... If I don't take a step back, I will be a bird in a cage, not free at all, even if I have great ambitions, it will be difficult to go to the sky! ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

Chongzhen smiled slightly: "If I retreat immediately...... The crown prince's throne will be seated, and the others will have no chance. If I insist on not retreating, I will be detained by the prince's side, and the others will not have the slightest chance. Now that I am between retreating and not retreating, the prince has no way to force me to conquest. And the rebellious ministers and thieves of the foreign dynasty should also know that this is their last chance! ”
