Early the next morning, Xiaohe, who came to serve Zhu Yousong to get up and change his clothes, was flushed. Their sisters are twins, Zhu Yousong looked at her reaction, and suddenly remembered the experiment done by Wei Xiaobao in Stephen Chow's version of Lu Ding Ji. Zhu Yousong looked at Xiaohe shyly, and had a bad idea in his heart, Xiaohe couldn't stand his salty eyes, and hurriedly escaped. Xiaolian in the quilt was like an ostrich, burying her head in the quilt and not daring to show her head.

Zhu Yousong knew that this kind of time was more important to a girl, so he soothed her with good words, coaxed her into a smile, and was intimate for a while before going out. Zhu Yousong, who was originally going to check whether the grain gentry were doing their best, walked to the gate of the inner palace, and there was a royal palace gate to report, Changshi Ge Rong and Zhao Hong, the commander of the guards, came back, and also brought the eunuch who passed the decree. Zhu Yousong was surprised, this speed was too fast. How did he know that Zhao Hong and Ge Rong were hurrying along the way, for fear of being discovered, they just surrounded them and scolded them. Scholars in this era are proud of scolding, and the higher the status of the scolding person, the more they can show that they are not afraid of the powerful and show their nobility.

The status of the vassal king is high enough, and he has almost zero rights when he goes out of his own fiefdom. And under Zhu Yousong's instructions, they bribed Wei Zhongxian in a very high-profile manner. So Ge Rong and Zhao Hong have become fragrant and sweet in the eyes of scholars, and everyone wants to catch them and scold them, and then make a name for themselves, and become famous in the forest, are they afraid that they will not be promoted and make a fortune in the future? The two of them walked to the ground of Henan Mansion before they dared to play the name of Fuwangfu. happened to meet the two nephews of Princess Zou who came to defect, so they made a way and rushed back to the palace.

Zhu Yousong went out to greet him, and when he saw that everyone looked tired and tired, he didn't think much about it, and asked them to go back to rest. The eunuchs who came to deliver the decree were just a formality. As soon as King Fu died, Zhu Yousong had already consciously exercised the power of the prince. However, even if it is formal, it must be taken seriously. Zhu Yousong respectfully accepted the order and thanked him, and instructed Lao Shutou to prepare a big bag of "native products" and hand it to the little eunuch who came to announce the decree. The little eunuch happily weighed the "native products" and thought to himself: Before leaving, they all envied me for receiving a beautiful difference. I didn't expect Xiaofu Wang to really make a generous move, which is worth my money for a few years.

These little eunuchs, since they can go out to deliver decrees, are all people who serve around the emperor. No matter how humble their status is, being able to contact the emperor dooms them to not be offended. Their unintentional words, heard by the emperor, may decide the fate of a prince and minister.

After receiving the order of thanksgiving, Zhu Yousong had time to meet his two cousins. The brothers are very different in age, but they look similar. This time, I helped the old and the young, and dozens of people from the whole family came to me from the capital. The Zou brothers knew that the young man in front of them, although they had hugged him when they were children, had now succeeded to the position of King Fu. Under the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the highest title was the prince. The two didn't dare to hold it up, and they were respectful. Zhu Yousong looked at their faces, and said with a smile: "Two cousins, don't be restrained, everything is about etiquette, how can there be family affection." ”

The two of them felt comfortable when they heard these words, and they also relaxed, and they had an extra layer of closeness to Zhu Yousong. Zhu Yousong said: "My father has just suffered a catastrophe, and my uncle and his old man have bad news. Pity my mother and concubine have been hit repeatedly, and her heart is extremely bitter. Day and night, talk to me about the old things with my two cousins when I was at my mother's house, and you can quickly choose a few relatives and old people to follow me to my mother's concubine. She thinks you think about it. ”

When the two of them were told about sad things, they also showed sadness, and went back to lead a few children to follow Zhu Yousong to Princess Zou's residence.

The two brothers looked alike, they both followed their father, and when Princess Zou saw it, she remembered her deceased brother and cried bitterly. Everyone stepped forward together to comfort them, and then they got better. When I talked about the old things with my two nephews, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic, and I was about to cry bitterly for a while. The little eunuch who announced the decree was arranged to rest in the right courtyard, and when he heard the crying, he inquired, and the people of the palace told him that it was the princess crying. The little eunuch was moved by the silent thought: King Fu and his wife are really in love, the old prince has been dead for so long, and he is still crying so sadly, is this the love of husband and wife? It's a pity that I purified my body and became a eunuch, and I can't get this kind of feeling in this life. The little eunuch was stunned, and his joy in getting the money was gone.

Zhu Yousong really couldn't stand the depressed and sad atmosphere of the princess, so he found an opportunity to come out. Fortunately, the princess was busy catching up with her mother's family and didn't notice him at all.

Zhu Yousong walked to Zhao Hong and listened to him tell in detail what he had seen and heard in the capital. Zhao Hongda poured bitter water, and told Zhu Yousong how much abuse he had received in the capital and along the way, and how many ridicules from scholars had turned around and turned around. Zhu Yousong sneered and said disdainfully: "They can't make any trouble except for their stinky mouths." Zhu Yousong himself knows very well that he was born on the opposite side of these people. Even if he is a corporal of Lixian everywhere, he is not in the same sky as Wei Zhongxian, and reprimands the emperor for being a plaything. These Donglin parties will not regard themselves as their own people. Because in the final analysis, their own interests conflict with them, and these people are nominally sacrificing their lives and righteousness, but in fact they are a group of mercenary people.

As for the emperor Zhu Youxiao, who was obsessed with carpentry and was quite talented; The nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who was arrogant and unrivaled in the limelight for a while. Their time is coming to an end, and now it's seven years of the apocalypse... Zhu Yousong, who is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, clearly remembers that the apocalypse was only seven years in total.

In fact, Zhu Yousong still has some sympathy for these two people in his heart. Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian were extremely satirical and sarcastic by later generations of literati and writers, and were described by historians as typical of faint monarchs and ministers. In fact, although Wei Zhongxian is greedy for money, suppresses and excludes dissidents, his methods are cruel and criticized. However, the eunuch tax collection team he organized raised a large amount of military expenses for the Ming Dynasty on the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, which was enough to maintain the war in Liaodong. The peasant uprising was only the two kings who could not survive under the natural disasters in Shaanxi.

Later, Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, eliminated Wei Zhongxian, and listened to the words of the Donglin party. The taxes of the big merchants in Jiangnan were exempted, and the huge military salaries in Liaodong were apportioned to the poor peasants. Therefore, since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the peasant uprising has never stopped. Most of these Donglin Dang's own families are giants in the Jiangnan area. After gathering all the wealth of the Ming Dynasty on himself, he became a minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and continued to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "This group of dog literati! ”

Zhao Hong thought of the gossip along the way, felt the same way, and couldn't stop nodding.
