Chongzhen's footsteps paused, but fortunately, his face had long been invulnerable to the sharpening of the Donglin Party, nodded, and said seriously: "What the queen said is very true, the prince is here today to accompany your mother." ”

After saying this, Chongzhen was afraid that the queen would say something to make fun of him, so he sped up and left Kunning Palace.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong looked at the back of his father who was a little desolate and fled, and wanted to cry without tears, he stayed up for so long and waited to see a good show today, but he didn't expect to be left in the harem by his father.

looked at the queen mother pitifully.

Empress Zhou didn't know why the emperor showed such an expression, but the emperor was not happy, and her heart as a mother would not be happy.

The emperor obviously wants to go to the coal kiln in western Beijing, but this road has been blocked by the emperor, and it is impossible to go to western Beijing privately.

Empress Zhou thought about it for a while, and said with a loving smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother just wants to enjoy the snow today." ”

"Come on, go to Jingxi, today the palace will take the emperor to Jingxi to enjoy the snow."

Chongzhen's Luan drove the attention of the capital's magnates and officials, and the matter of Luan driving leaving the Forbidden City for western Beijing soon spread inside and outside the capital, and many powerful people and officials hurriedly sent eyeliners to follow.

What no one could have imagined was that not long after Luan Jia left the Forbidden City, Feng Yuan, the queen mother, also left the Forbidden City, and it is said that she also took the crown prince with her, and also went to western Beijing.

The news that Luan Jia and Feng Yuan went to the west of Beijing together caused an uproar inside and outside the capital, and the magnates and officials immediately removed their eyeliner and followed in a sedan chair in person.

The imperial historians of the Donglin Party are gearing up, preparing to impeach the emperor and queen for leaving the palace without authorization, unless auspicious circumstances occur, otherwise leaving the palace without permission is against the law of etiquette.

Chongzhen's Luan drive is relatively simple, without the exaggeration of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, there are only more than 3,000 people, most of whom are still the Jinyi guards guarding Luan and Zhou Yuji's firearms battalion.

The number of eunuchs and palace maids is very small, so small that they are about to be impeached by the imperial history of the Donglin Party.

Luan arrived in Jingxi.

Before Chongzhen walked into the western part of Beijing, which had been emptied of a large mountain of raw coal, he saw that the wide Yongding River was extremely lively, and the cargo ships like small black dots were constantly moving south.

On the way here, Chongzhen had already learned some things about the situation in western Beijing from Wang Chengen, and when he saw the coal in this boat, he was excited when he spoke: "Chengen, that clairvoyant mirror is here." ”

With the current situation, even Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang would be excited here, after all, the goods transported on those small black dots were not Shangjia's.

It is the way of life of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

and the lives of the soldiers of Liaodong.

Chongzhen picked up the Western clairvoyant mirror and put it on his eyes and looked at it, and after seeing a full cup of tea, he put down the sunset clairvoyant mirror in his hand: "Let Luan drive speed up, and I will see how unfilial Xu Jixin is in the mouth of the Donglin Party." ”

The industrial faction and the Donglin Party are-for-tat in the court, but if there is a little mistake, it will be constantly amplified by the Donglin Party, not to mention the great unfilial piety that did not give the grandfather three years of filial piety.

Xu Jixin is the grandson of Xu Guangqi, the leader of the West French Party that year, and he is usually one of the primary targets of the Donglin Party.

Under the vigorous slander of some Donglin Party celebrities, Xu Jixin's reputation in the capital is getting worse day by day, and his classmates and friends who had a good relationship with him in the past have completely cut off contact with him like a plague god.

Even the name of the first genius in the capital that Xu Guangqi was most proud of at the beginning, gradually no one was willing to admit it.

After all, this title was not pardoned by the imperial court, but it was just a recognized reputation that the scholars of the capital were impressed by Xu Jixin's talent and learning.

Now that the scholars of the capital do not admit it, the title of the first genius in the capital does not exist.

Coal washing plant.

Concrete floor at the entrance.

Zhu Shun and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and other five nobles, wearing a bright red unicorn suit, respectfully waited for Chongzhen's Luan.

The Donglin Party officials and other powerful people in the capital were really well-informed, and their legs and feet were even sharper, and they were waiting for Chongzhen's arrival on the flat cement floor in front of the coal washing plant early.

From time to time, the probe looks at the coal washing plant, which makes a roaring sound.

Some officials saw the solid concrete floor for the first time, staring at the straight lines drawn on the ground and looking at it curiously.

Half a pillar of incense later.

Chongzhen's Luan Jia and Empress Zhou's Feng Yuan arrived at the coal washing plant one after another.

Chongzhen glanced at the Donglin Party officials around him, because the anger of the Donglin Party for wantonly raising the price of firewood disappeared and turned into a great pleasure.

He heard from Wang Chengen that in order to stabilize the high price of firewood, many Donglin Party officials ate a lot of charcoal at the price of one penny and one load of silver.

I thought they would be able to make a lot of money, but I am afraid they didn't expect that the price of coal in the capital would always remain at a penny of silver in the future.

Thinking of the silver in the hands of those Donglin Party members who looted the people's fat and ointment, it had shrunk to one-tenth of its original amount in just two or three months, Chongzhen almost didn't make a sound.

Especially the Donglin Party people still look like they are full of spring breeze, as if they have picked up a lot of cheapness, which makes Chongzhen have a sense of superiority that everyone is drunk and I am sober, and he is in a better mood.

Chongzhen's expressionless face involuntarily looked at Xu Jixin beside Zhu Shun, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose a little: "You are Xu Jixin, Xu Zaifu's grandson." ”

Chongzhen originally wanted to use Xu Guangqi to get closer to him, after all, Xu Guangqi was Chongzhen's confidant back then, but he forgot a little.

Not keeping filial piety to his grandfather for three years is already the biggest stain on Xu Jixin, and he himself feels ashamed of his grandfather, Chongzhen's sentence Xu Zaifu has a little meaning of sprinkling salt on Xu Jixin's wound.

The expression on Xu Jixin's face became a little embarrassed, and he thought that the emperor was blaming him for not keeping filial piety to his grandfather for three years, so he hurriedly apologized and said: "The sinners are Xu Jixin." ”

Zhu Shun, Marquis Zhenyuan and others couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, after all, he had a blank face all the year round, and there was no change in mood, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Coupled with the distance, Chongzhen's question was conveyed by a eunuch.

The four nobles including the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Marquis of Huaiyuan couldn't help but be worried, but Zhu Shun said calmly that it was okay, and he would ask Brother Wang later.

Hearing a sentence of Brother Wang, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and the other four nobles remembered that Zhu Shun, the Marquis of Industry, was the only friend of Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang.

is still a friend who dares to make public with such a sensitive identity as the governor of Dongchang.

The four nobles including the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Marquis of Huaiyuan suddenly became envious, they were the number one celebrities around the emperor.

It is also the governor of the East Factory.
