It is said that after the apocalypse sent away Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and others, he played mahjong with Sanang and them for half a day in the afternoon, and went to Tang Xuan's room to spend the night in the evening. In the past two days, the apocalypse has turned over Tang Xuanzhi's brand, because he suddenly likes to play Go, Tang Xuanzhi will play Go but does not play well, this is the reason why Tianqi likes to play chess with her. For a person who loves to play chess, his favorite opponent is someone who is similar to himself but slightly weaker, so that he will not feel bored or abused, Tang Xuanshi is such a good opponent, at least Tianqi thinks so.

Who knew that Tang Xuanzhi's mental state was not very good on this day, and he didn't control his proportions well, and he accidentally won three games of Tianqi in a row, and every time the mid-game dragon was slaughtered, which made Tianqi feel very faceless. In the fourth game, Tang Xuanzhi tried a lot to let Tianqi win the five ways, but the traces of concession were very obvious, so that Tianqi clearly realized that his chess strength was worse than Tang Xuanzhi, and he felt a little unhappy that he had been deceived and was not convinced. Seeing the way Apocalypse stared, Tang Xuanzhi hurriedly left his seat to make amends, scratching his back and beating his legs, and promised to let Apocalypse lie down and be fed breakfast by herself the next day, and Apocalypse smiled.

The next morning, when the apocalypse came to Kunning Palace, he saw many palace maids and eunuchs standing at the door, so he guessed that there were people playing mahjong inside. Who knew that when I went in, the queen and Princess Ningde were talking on the side, Chunying, Sanang, Siqin and others were sitting on the side discussing how to give the little doll in the belly a nickname, and when they saw the apocalypse coming, they let the apocalypse judge who was good.

After Tianqi sat down, he saw what the name Chunying had taken was aquatic, fire, earthy, etc., anyway, according to the five elements, what was lacking and what was taken; Siqin's names such as Xiaomao, tail, and stone mean that the nickname should be cheap and easy to feed, but not too ugly; The strangest thing is the name of Sanang, which is called King Kong, Silver Tower, and Copper Pimple, which is a bit ridiculous. Seeing that the apocalypse frowned, Sanang also said that if they were all daughters, they would be named Jade Lock, Silver Bottle, and Little Coral, anyway, it had to be related to gold and silver treasures, so as not to be poor.

Tianqi waved his hand to let them continue the discussion, and then asked Princess Ningde, "Why did the imperial sister come to the palace so early?" Now that the attached horse is in the princess's mansion every day, is there anything the royal sister is not satisfied with? Doesn't this kid know that cherishing your hard-won happiness has made you angry? Speak up and spank his ass for your brother's decision. ”

Princess Ningde said angrily: "What does the imperial brother mean, little sister, I have to have something to do before I can enter the palace?" The little sister heard that the royal brother likes to play Go these days, and she happened to bring some Go games from home, I don't know if the imperial brother wants to watch it? ”

As soon as Tianqi heard Princess Ningde talk about the chess game, he hurriedly said: "Okay, what is there to quickly increase the chess strength of the book emperor sister take two books, I want to win Tang Xuanzhi with real skills." ”

Sanang said: "Why should the emperor be willing to seek the near and far? Sister Siqin can play Go. ”

The queen said: "Siqin can't play chess when she is pregnant with a child, that thing hurts the spirit." ”

Siqin pursed her lips and smiled: "Playing chess with the emperor is actually not hurtful, the main reason is that the emperor doesn't like to play with his concubines." ”

Tianqi said: "Siqin's chess skills are not interesting compared to me, Tang Xuanzhi is just right, she was lucky to win two games last night, and she will get it back after a while." ”

Siqin said: "Your Majesty, in fact, Tang Xuanzhi's chess skills are very high, and the concubines have competed with her several times, and she has to spare the three sons and concubines to have a fight." ”

Sanang said at this time: "How pitiful! ”

Apocalypse glared at Sanang and said, "Do you mean that Siqin is pitiful or that I am pitiful?" ”

Sanang said: "The concubine means that Tang Xuan's servant is pitiful, she is so powerful, she can easily win the emperor, but she has to work hard to lose, so pitiful!" ”

Tianqi said to Princess Ningde very depressedly: "The imperial sister doesn't have to bother looking for any chess games, she will change to chess in the future for her brother." ”

Princess Ningde asked: "Little sister remembers that the imperial brother likes to use play to relieve himself whenever he has something, he used to like to play wood, and now he likes to play chess, is there anything difficult for the imperial brother to solve in the past two days?" ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "There is a difficult matter to decide, I want to kill two people, but many people want to protect them. ”

Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly heard the apocalypse say that they were going to kill someone, and they all fell silent.

Chunying asked at this time: "If the emperor wants to kill, can he wait a few months before killing?" ”

Apocalypse asked strangely, "Chunying, isn't your family in business?" When has there been research on homicide? ”

Chunying said: "There is such a saying in our hometown that if your daughter-in-law is pregnant, a man cannot kill. ”

Apocalypse nodded and asked, "Are you afraid that the ghost will burrow into your stomach if you owe a debt for your life?" Will there be a debt collector in the future? However, this statement is not true, women generally have to eat chicken and drink chicken soup during confinement, and at this time only her men go to slaughter chickens, why haven't I heard that the children of the Ming Dynasty are like chickens crowing every day? ”

The queen said: "When the children are born during confinement, they are naturally not afraid. Although it is said that the concubines in the palace are not allowed to interfere in politics, but human life is a matter of heaven, and the emperor must be cautious. ”

Tianqi was thinking about it, and Tan Jing came to report at this time, saying that there were two chapters for Tianqi to read. Since Tianqi asked the Government Council and the Military Affairs Yuan to help him divide various affairs, he only looked at the results submitted by the two departments every three days, and only the major and urgent matters that they could not decide would be sent to Tianqi for him to adjudicate. Apocalypse just finished reading the results of the previous few days yesterday morning, and when he saw that there was a report today, he knew that it was an urgent matter, so he got up and followed Tan Jing to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

First saw the first report that the chief and deputy commanders of the Red Mountain Guard had been taken to the Imperial Prison, and it was up to the Apocalypse to decide how long the interrogation would begin. The second letter was a report by Gao Panlong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was very satisfied with the results of Fan Youdao and Han Budo's group of preaching groups that spoke by example, and believed that similar problems and personnel should be arranged in the same way in the future, so that people who made mistakes but did not die could go around preaching and get good results.

Although Gao Panlong's recital does not say it explicitly, it is obvious that he has the intention of protecting the people of Hongshanwei. Tianqi thought for a while and asked Tan Jing: "You said that although this person has not committed a capital crime now, if he doesn't deal with it, maybe there will be a big disaster in the future, will this person kill or not?" ”

Tan Jing was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is a matter of the lives of the courtiers, and the servants dare not talk nonsense." ”

Tianqi said: "Yes, I don't dare to say it explicitly, but I want to be a good person, and I am afraid that once this head is opened, it will be difficult to manage people in the future." ”

Tan Jing said: "Your Majesty, this slave who doesn't kill people doesn't dare to say more, but the slave who manages people knows a little bit." ”

Apocalypse said, "Oh, you know what to say? ”

Tan Jing said: "When the slave was a child, he studied in a private school in his hometown for two years, and the teacher liked to let the naughty students help him manage people, and it was better to let the naughty students manage people than to let the good dolls manage people. ”

Apocalypse said, "Your point of view is similar to that of Gao Panlong. ”

As soon as Tianqi's words were finished, a little eunuch came to report that Master Gao Panlong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate asked to see him, and Tianqi smiled and said, "Cao Cao Cao has arrived, please let him in." ”

After Gao Panlong came in, he presented a concert, and when he opened it, it turned out to be signed by more than ten Donglin party members who served in the court, such as Gao Panlong, Sun Chengzong, and **Xing. In this recital, the Donglin Party's proposition is clearly put forward, that is, to love the country, love the people, and be willing to help the emperor to promote the Ming Dynasty, drive away evil spirits, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have known about the Donglin Party for a long time, and I also admire your loyalty and love for the people. I'm glad to have you by my side to supervise and assist me. But I am a real person, so let's make no mistake about the fact that all of you are my courtiers first, and then all other identities. ”

Gao Panlong said: "The minister understands this, and it is precisely because the emperor is a real person that the minister will tell each other so clearly to avoid the suspicion of the monarch and the minister." However, the emperor said that if the ministers and other superintendents were to be supervised, the ministers did not dare to be, and they could assist them wholeheartedly to fill in the gaps. ”

Apocalypse smiled and said, "A person will make mistakes as long as he does things, and someone needs to be on the side to remind the overseer not to make mistakes, and no one is exempt from this." There are only two kinds of people who don't make mistakes, one is immortals, and the second is people who don't do things. ”
