When Hu Guang heard this, he stammered, could it be that something was wrong? He was a little curious, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine Niangniang was punished for copying the "Internal Training", I am afraid that it will ......"

"Punishment for copying the "Internal Training"? Who? Hu Guang subconsciously asked, and then immediately came back to his senses, there was no second person who could punish Tian Guifei except the queen.

For some reason, when he thought of the queen, he subconsciously remembered the queen and his father's old goods, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Suddenly, his heart moved, could it be that Zhou Kui's old man passed on his words to scare him into the palace, and the queen was angry and wanted to find something to suppress Tian Guifei?

Even if this is not the case, if the queen punishes Tian Guifei, and the matter that he doesn't care about spreads out and reaches the ears of that old man, he will definitely think that what he said during the day is just to scare people. was encouraged by others again, and it was hard to rely on his daughter and two grandsons to block himself.

In the original history, this goods relied on the fact that his daughter was the queen and his grandson was the crown prince, and he insisted on refusing to donate money, so he went to the street to spill it in a hurry, selling pots and pans to make money to slap Emperor Chongzhen in the face. Even if the queen gave him 5,000 taels in private and asked him to take the lead in donating it, as a result, he swallowed 2,000 taels of the goods privately, and only handed over 3,000 taels.

Thinking about it like this, Hu Guang frowned slightly, in extraordinary times, you can't give up your efforts! He immediately ordered Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who was on duty next to him, and said: "Check if there is any news to the queen outside the palace today, don't make a big fuss, understand?" ”

"Slave obeys!" Gao Shiyue immediately bowed down to receive the order.

Hu Guang nodded, and then ordered to drive Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhou had just given birth to her second son, who was not yet a full moon, and when she heard that the emperor was coming, she still insisted on getting up to greet her.

Hu Guang saw Queen Zhou for the first time in reality, the first impression was beautiful, and the second impression was a little weak, and people couldn't help but want to pity her.

If Concubine Tian is characterized by liveliness, then Queen Zhou is solemn, generous and decent, neither humble nor arrogant.

This is my big wife! It looks like it's quite virtuous, not bad! Hu Guang thought with emotion. It seems that the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty are not bad, if it is a concubine like the Manchu Emperor in later generations, then it is really a monk!

It turned out that the memory of Emperor Chongzhen was also very respectful to this Empress Zhou. This kind of memory is also blended in Hu Guang's thoughts. He saw that she was weak, so he had to put aside other thoughts first, let her go to the bed to lie down and rest, and just sit on the edge of the bed and talk.

"Your Majesty, etiquette must not be abolished." But Queen Zhou insisted and refused to go to bed.

Hu Guang didn't argue with her, so he asked her, "I want to know, why was Tian Guifei punished?" ”

"Why does Your Majesty knowingly ask?" Empress Zhou seemed to have known what he was here for, her face was not shocked, and she immediately asked rhetorically.

Hu Guang looked at her, and Zhou Kuina's selfish old face flashed in his mind, and he was a little angry in his heart, and immediately said with a little dissatisfaction: "Can you not block me?" ”

"The concubine is the head of the six palaces, in charge of the affairs in the palace, and acts according to the etiquette system, what is the blockage?" Queen Zhou was still lukewarm and gave a soft nail.

When Hu Guang heard this, he was immediately furious, little sample, if he can't even clean up his own woman, how can he rule the world? He immediately turned cold and asked, "Then I am also in the palace, is it also under your control?" ”

"Don't dare!" Empress Zhou replied immediately.

The palace maids on the side heard that the emperor and the empress seemed to be quarrelling, and they suddenly didn't even dare to come out, for fear of being angry.

When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but sarcastically say: "What else do you dare not do?" Don't you take me out of sight anymore! ”

"The concubine's words and deeds are courteous, if you make a mistake, please point it out to Your Majesty!" Empress Zhou looked directly into Hu Guang's eyes and said slowly without saying anything humble.

"Good!" When Hu Guang heard this, he said with a cold face, "I asked the concubine to accompany me, and you punished the concubine, where did you put me?" ”

"This is an extraordinary time, Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and don't indulge in women." Queen Zhou's face did not change, and she said slowly, "Your Majesty is the sky, and the concubine can't control it; But Tian Guifei didn't think about admonishment, but only knew how to cater to her, which was flattering, not the responsibility of the concubine. As the queen, the concubine punished her for copying "Internal Training", also for her good! ”

Hu Guang listened, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Emperor Chongzhen. Usually I should often be pressed by my wife's etiquette, so it won't taste very comfortable, right? But what the queen said was ineffective for herself.

I only heard Hu Guang sneer and said: "Addicted to women? The queen came to tell me, what is the obsession with women? The concubine is officially canonized by me, and I work state affairs day after day, and occasionally recruit her, and use the hat that is addicted to women to buckle my head. Queen, you are really virtuous! ”

Listening to this ironic compliment, Queen Zhou's face changed, and she slowly knelt on the ground. When the palace maids on the side saw it, they all knelt on the ground.

Hu Guang ignored it, stared at Queen Zhou and continued: "I'm here to tell you, what should the queen do?" Instead of just knowing the etiquette system! ”

Queen Zhou looked up at Hu Guang, and her voice seemed to be a little different: "Listen to the concubine!" ”

Hu Guang also looked at her, and suddenly found that there seemed to be something crystal in her eyes, and she was about to cry? At this time, he suddenly remembered that Queen Zhou was still a pregnant woman and was very fragile. But it's hard to ride a tiger right now, and you can't give up halfway, at least wait until the end of this play.

His voice weakened a little and said: "The queen is in charge of the six palaces, in the final analysis, it is for the sake of order in the palace, so that I don't have to worry about trivial matters in the palace and can concentrate on governing the world." Your so-called etiquette system is also formulated from this basis, this is one of them! ”

Empress Zhou just looked at it and didn't speak.

"Second, everything is relaxed, even if it is me, state affairs have to be handled, but my spirit must be relaxed, my body must be exercised, and work and rest are combined, so that I can have the spirit to deal with state affairs."

"Thirdly, the point of indulging in femininity is to indulge, not to be female. What is addiction? If you don't do serious things, you like to do something, like women, or like to make wooden ...... Fighting crickets and so on, and wasting a lot of time and youth on it. ”

Hu Guang made a mistake for a while, and almost criticized the Emperor of the Apocalypse for being a carpenter, but fortunately he changed his words quickly. He didn't stop talking, and immediately said something else to cover up this: "In short, the duty of the queen is to help me maintain the best physical and mental state to handle state affairs; Instead of being jealous and making trouble, it annoys me. By the way, I'll take care of something, you know? ”

"The concubine is not jealous!" When Empress Zhou heard this, she flatly denied it.

Hu Guang listened, snorted and said, "Whether you are jealous or not, you know it in your own heart." Think about what I just said, otherwise ......"
