At night, Apocalypse was lying on the bed half-squinting and thinking about things, and the queen lay next to her and took a small fan to fan the wind. Fan the queen and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you think that a person with a very rich family will send his precious granddaughter to a place with an uncertain future for the trust of irrelevant people?" ”

Apocalypse was startled and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The queen propped up half of her body with her elbows, turned her face sideways to stare at the apocalypse and said, "Does the concubine mean that Feng Xuanshi's grandfather is that little Taoist priest?" ”

Tianqi looked at the queen's face with a look of gain, and then said: "Siqin's grandfather died five or six years ago, if he was about eighty years old when he died, this possibility cannot be ruled out in terms of age. ”

The queen continued: "Feng Xuanzhi said that her heart was beating hollow as soon as she approached Topaz before, the concubines didn't feel that way, and the others didn't have that kind of reaction, at most they couldn't sleep well and dreamed, didn't the emperor feel strange?" ”

Tianqi sat up suddenly, thought for a while, and said, "It's a little wrong, but it can't explain anything, at most, her physique is different from everyone." ”

The queen said thoughtfully: "If her grandfather is really a little Taoist priest, then is it also one of the tasks to find a woman with a physique like her to enter the palace?" If this is the case, Feng Xuanzhi is probably not the granddaughter of the little Taoist. Moreover, the person most trusted by Emperor Sejong could not be an outsider, so the little Taoist priest was likely to be a eunuch in Dongchang. ”

Puzzled, Apocalypse asked the Empress, "What exactly do you want to explain?" It's been sixty or seventy years, and no one has been planning for so long, right? ”

The queen sighed and said, "Yes, maybe the concubines are thinking too much, your lord, do you say that there are really ghosts and gods in this world?" Do you say during the day today that there are foreigners who come from tens of thousands of miles, do they believe in ghosts and gods? ”

Tianqi said: "It is difficult to say whether there are ghosts and gods, but many things related to ghosts and gods are people's strong explanations ♀ that people don't understand things, and they also believe in ghosts and gods, and they are more dedicated than my Ming people." ”

The queen also sat up at this time, leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "Why do foreigners trust single-mindedness?" ”

Apocalypse said: "Because foreigners like to explore everywhere, they have encountered many more unexplained things than my people. They believe in only one God, believing that all other gods are false gods except for their Lord who was crucified, and that there is a department dedicated to defending their true God, and that if anyone claims to infringe on the status of the true God in their hearts, the people of this department will come out and arrest and kill people. ”

The queen smiled: "I can't protect myself from being nailed to the shelf, do you still have the ability to bless others?" Doesn't this foreigner have a brain? ”

Apocalypse said with a smile: "It is said that some kings are abolished by the people of the department that maintains the status of the true god, and instead of believing in the army in their hands, they believe in the gods and let the gods dominate the court and the lives of the people, and this foreigner's head must have been kicked by a donkey." ”

The queen smiled when she heard this, and said: "This is the benefit of the Great Ming Gods, such as Lai, Guanyin, the Jade Emperor, the Primordial Tianzun, etc., all have boundless mana, whoever wants to occupy the Ming Dynasty alone First of all, the other immortals will not agree, and in the end they have to listen to the emperor's arrangement." ”

Tianqi said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva has compassion, thousands of people across the country have something to think of her to find her, fortunately the Bodhisattva is powerful, ordinary people must be tired to death, so it is not a good thing to have too much ability∞ but I have self-knowledge, if there is something, let my ministers help me work, I can accompany my wife to lie on the bed and talk about love, isn't this better than the gods?" So, to live a simple life is really happiness. ”

The queen glanced at the apocalypse and said: "The emperor has many wives, since you want to talk about love, let's say a few more words, I don't know who to accompany tomorrow." ”

Tianqi laughed and whispered in the queen's ear: "Let's lie down and whisper, don't be heard by others." ”

It is neither easy nor easy for this person to live a simple life, depending on what you do. If a person happens to be born in a peaceful and prosperous era, and his family has saved two dollars after half a lifetime, and it happens that his children and grandchildren are capable and respect him, then it will be easy for him to live a simple life. Or drive a small boat to haunt the rivers, lakes and seas, or ride an old donkey to swim in the mountains, rocks, forests and springs, or take a book of poetry to stop at the monk's house and monastery, you can be unrestrained and make your body and mind comfortable. If you are not old, bring enough gold and silver to embrace the beauty to wander under the moon before the flowers, or simply stay in the Qinglou Tile House, as long as the body can bear it, it can be regarded as a timely pleasure.

But there is a kind of person who can't live a simple life, that is, a person with a lot of responsibility, this kind of person will come to you if you don't look for something to do. Apocalypse is such a person, he has just played with his wives for two days, and on the third day, it is time for him to watch the recital. Although you only need to see the results of the government affairs or the military affairs yuan every three days, it is tiring to look at the more chapters, unless you don't look at the eunuch to do it for you, but Tianqi is unwilling to do this, and he doesn't want to be scolded behind his back for the time being.

The first thing that Apocalypse saw was the military affairs institute's recital, since the Wang Gongchang explosion, the armies of the three major military regions have not taken the initiative to attack. Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army carried out a few days of horse-killing operations along the coast in early May, and saw that the Jurchens had taken precautions and retreated to Phi Dao, and now Hou Sui was in the rectification' Zhenren and the Mongols also heard about Wang Gongchang's matter, and also expressed their understanding of the Ming Dynasty's decision to terminate the meeting and negotiation, and they also happened to kill each other without distraction, to see who was the real boss on the steppe, and the city-building operation at the mouth of the river did not stop, and the Duoyan and Karaqin people were very quiet.

The more than 5,000 soldiers of Hongshanwei were all pulled to Phi Island to fill the vacancy of Zu Dashou c Dashou's 5,000 Marine Battalion of the 5,000 Sailors Division was transferred to the Liaodong Military Region under the command of Yuan Keli, and Zu Dashou replaced the dead Zhu Mei as the deputy general of the general Mangui, and the future action against the Jurchens was mainly taken over by the Liaodong Military Region c The position of deputy general after Dashou left was replaced by the original general Chen Jisheng, mainly to prepare for the use of troops in Fujian and Zhejiang, and it is said that there is a foreign ** team to occupy Taiwan.

When the original commander of Hongshanwei heard that Tianqi had decided to spare his life, he personally wrote to him and said that he promised to convey the will of Tianqi to all the guards throughout the country, and if Tianqi agreed in the future, he could personally lead his troops to the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious service to atone for his crimes. Apocalypse carefully inquired about the reason why this person occupied the people's land was that the troops were seriously in arrears, and he basically distributed all the land out, and he didn't occupy much privately, so Apocalypse was much less angry with him.

In the recital of the Government Council, it was said that Huo Weihua, Qiao Yingjia and others had already taken their clothes home to live temporarily, and were preparing for the debate in the Holy Academy in a few days, and I believe that there should be an explanation at that time. Immigration affairs have been suspended, sweet potato and corn seeds have been prepared to be transported to Shaanxi, Henan and other places for planting, and hundreds of thousands of stone grain have been prepared just in case, even if they are not needed, they can fill the grain depot. The sale of knighthoods, the collection of taxes by the Road Merchants Bureau, and the use of silver dollars are all on the right track, but the effect is not satisfactory, after all, new things must have an adaptation period, and I believe that they will get better after a while.

There is only one problem, that is, the heads of the two big households who came in in this tabloid incident have not yet been put back, because their family members took the share vouchers issued to them by the imperial court, saying that if the imperial court releases them, they can transfer the shares to the household department and do not need the capital, and they just want people to go back as soon as possible.

The Council of the Council has held several meetings to deliberate, but no result has been reached, and now it is necessary for the Apocalypse to give a clear answer. Apocalypse looked at the personal opinions of the people in the Government Council, and most of them agreed to accept this condition, and some even said that they would gradually buy back the shares in the hands of other big players in the Chamber of Commerce, because the issuance of silver dollars by Qian Zhuang was originally a matter of the imperial court, and it was a loss for the imperial court to let the merchants gain benefits in it. Of course, there were also people who raised the issue of credit, but it was vetoed by others, and everyone thought that Apocalypse did not like businessmen, and the gradual repurchase of shares did not say that direct confiscation was enough to give these businessmen face.

After reading it, the apocalypse did not send it back immediately, he said that he had to think about the music of the big family. In the afternoon, when they came to the Kunning Palace, Tianqi called Feng Siqin and Zhang Chunying aside and asked them if the imperial court should talk about credit with merchants. I thought that they were all from merchant families, and they should be able to say something sympathetic to businessmen, but who knew that they didn't have a good impression of businessmen, saying that many of the current businessmen could not be regarded as real businessmen.
