597 People make the best use of their talents

Emperor Chongzhen's words made his concubines stunned, is this okay?

And those princes and princesses were a little more excited, and even the sixteen-year-old Changping princess Zhu Yujiao asked excitedly: "Father, can I have a daughter?" ”

She is the biological daughter of Queen Zhou, and a biological son has already given her a headache, and suddenly saw that her daughter also showed signs of rebellion, and immediately glared at her eyes: "You are a girl, you have reached the age of marriage, and if you don't pay attention, you will become an old girl when you turn around!" ”

When Princess Changping heard this, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, hid behind the prince, and didn't dare to speak.

But who knows, Emperor Chongzhen said to her: "Of course you can, why can only men do what they are interested in, if you want to give full play to your own value, you can play your own value!" ”

When Empress Zhou heard this, she immediately became angry, and she didn't care about the emperor's majesty, and immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, she is still a girl in the boudoir, how can she show her head and do what only those men do?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was not angry, turned his head to look at her, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you also in charge of the textile factory, and you are getting bigger and bigger, and you have earned a lot of silver for the palace?" ”

"......" Empress Zhou was speechless when she heard it, and after coming back to her senses, she said angrily, "That's not to share your Majesty's worries, has Your Majesty forgotten the situation at that time?" ”

At that time, it was the time when the imperial court needed money the most, and how could Emperor Chongzhen forget. At this point, he just smiled and replied, "What about when you were a child?" When the conditions at home are not good, don't you also show up and work for the family's livelihood? ”

didn't feel Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, as if she was just chatting about family affairs, Empress Zhou was relieved, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a little coquettishness and said: "Your Majesty, that's not a last resort, how can it be compared with now, the concubine doing these things is just a special case!" ”

After finishing speaking, she suddenly remembered that the other concubines and children were there, why did she show her daughter-like appearance, she was the master of the harem!

Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly, and she immediately became solemn again.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally saw her changes, smiled in his heart, and then said again: "What about Queen Ma?" She did not do the same, personally leading the embroidery and weaving of princesses and concubines. Is this what the queen and princess do? But Queen Ma didn't do the same, and the world didn't praise her! ”

"......" Hearing this, Empress Zhou suddenly stopped talking, because what Emperor Chongzhen said was the truth. Queen Ma came from the founding queen, and if you want to say that she was also forced to do these things, it is obviously impossible.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at the others and said: "I have actually said that now is a great change that has not been seen since ancient times, not only the lives of the people will change greatly, but also the relationship between men and women will change in the future. Many old concepts should be changed. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Queen Zhou, and then continued: "Even in the current Ming Dynasty, many ordinary people whose living conditions are not rich, women have to work and work hard for a common family, rather than relying only on men to support the family!" Home belongs to everyone, not to one person. If the family is not good, it affects everyone, not just one person, or only men. Everyone has the responsibility to maintain and make this home better. ”

"In general, the same is true of royalty. In the past, princesses and pro-barbarians, and princes marrying the daughters of Haoqiang were actually sacrificed for the royal family. When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he said with a little more pride, "However, my Ming Dynasty does not have these things, not only does it not have a family matter, but even the royal relatives are just commoners." This is the previous emperors since Taizu, and they have their own responsibilities. But you don't have to do these things, the conditions are much stronger than ordinary people, and it's too wasteful to eat and wait for death every day. You can do something you love to do, make a name for yourself, and leave something memorable for your life. When you are old, when you look back on your life, you won't feel that your time has been wasted, so it's worth it, don't you say? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's idea stunned all the people present. For them, this is a statement that has never been heard before. And now, it came out of the emperor's mouth, which is really shocking.

The princes and princesses were the first to come back to their senses, and they were all excited.

If according to the practice before the Ming Dynasty, other princes except the crown prince really have to eat and wait for death. The most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen had announced to the world a few years ago that the royal title in the future would no longer be hereditary. Even if their generation is named a prince, their son can only be the king of the county. If this continues, it will not take many generations before they become civilians.

But now, the emperor has said it himself, you can do what you like and leave a valuable legacy, and your grandchildren will be worry-free. For example, if you make a glass like your father, just the speed of making money, do you still need to care about whether your descendants will be happy?

They were thinking about it, and Princess Changping suddenly said to Emperor Chongzhen with a little regret: "Father, what should I do if my daughter can only embroider?" ”

She is the eldest daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, and she was taught by Empress Zhou that her daughter is red or something, and she comes from compulsory courses, and she is rarely exposed to other things on weekdays.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, smiled and said: "That's okay, if you're interested, try to improve your embroidery level, and strive to be the best embroidery in the world, isn't it?" ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly moved, and he had another thought, yes, anyway, now that he has money, he will turn around and do it.

"But...... But ......" Princess Changping stammered a little when she heard this, glanced at her mother, and then plucked up her courage and said in one go, "Father, but my daughter wants to learn swordsmanship, I think it's very fun!" ”

"......" Emperor Chongzhen was speechless when he heard it, and the image of "one-armed god nun" flashed in his mind!

But now, it's impossible to have one arm, and it's impossible for a god to be a god.

After coming back to his senses, he smiled and nodded and said, "If you want to learn, you can learn well, Fang Daban's kung fu is very good, you can learn from him." But remember, you have to be serious in everything you do, and you have to work hard! ”

What he said about Fang Daban refers to Fang Zhenghua, which is said to be the prototype of the undefeated East in later film and television dramas. In the original history, it is recorded that when the city gate fell, he killed dozens of thieves, so it can be seen that the kung fu must be good.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at the other princes and princesses, and said seriously: "You too, you must be serious in everything you do, you have to work hard, or you don't do it, you have to do it well!" ”

Teenagers are the least like to be quiet at the age, they were bound by the rules of the palace before, which is equivalent to the spring has been pressed, and now Emperor Chongzhen said this, which is equivalent to letting go of the spring, and suddenly, these princes and princesses were overjoyed, and they agreed one by one, so that their mother was speechless about it.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned his head to look at the crown prince and said to him: "The steam engine is the most important weapon of the country, therefore, I have already secretly ordered Bi Qing of the War Bureau to develop there, and tomorrow you can take your companions who participated in the construction of the steam engine to visit and study in the War Bureau." Of course, if there is something better on your side than the War Bureau, then let the War Bureau learn from you. I want a real and practical steam engine, and if you are involved in building it, I will give you the power to name the first steam engine of the Ming Dynasty. In the history books of later generations, there will inevitably be an important mark! ”

There is such a demonstration effect of the crown prince, and the impact on the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely very big.

After all, the crown prince is the future emperor, and what the emperor likes must be upward and downward. For example, the emperor likes to clear words, and the people under him want to know how to clear words; The emperor is good at cultivating, and there are Taoist priests everywhere. Nowadays, the two generations of emperors will like natural knowledge and use it in life, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably have such an atmosphere.

As for ruling this empire, Emperor Chongzhen feels that he may be a man with a golden finger, in good health, and has not had a single minor problem since the crossing, it is likely that this is also the hidden benefit of the crossing, and there should be no problem with health and longevity.

Naturally, this Ming is in charge of his own house, and there is nothing to do with the prince. Let him be a benchmark for the Ming Dynasty to make the best use of everything, good for him, good for the Ming Dynasty!

The crown prince obviously didn't have this idea, and when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and felt that his father was really good, understood his heart, supported him, and was not as rigid as the queen mother, who controlled him.

So, the family motto for the prince and the princess was thus decided.

There was nothing to say all night, what to do, what not to do, there were divine beasts watching, everything was harmonious.

Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good state of mind and continued to hold yesterday's unfinished meeting in the Wenhua Palace.

Good things were all rushed to say yesterday. In the deliberations of the next day, there is not so much attention to what to say.

The first one is that the first assistant told the emperor about the people's livelihood that he was most concerned about.

As Emperor Chongzhen expected, the Xiaoice River period has not yet passed. The situation of flooding in the south and drought in the north is still serious, but the government has benefited from disaster prevention and relief, and after all, there has been no large-scale starvation to death, and there has been no large-scale displacement of people.

"Your Majesty, even so, the imperial court still feels a little struggling." Xue Guoguan finally concluded, "It's not that the imperial court has no money, but that even if you have money, you can't buy more food." ”

Emperor Chongzhen actually expected this matter. This has already been laid out before.
