Although it is spring now, the weather is still a little cold, and Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stomp his feet and rub his hands when he got up early in the morning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, Liu Ru came over with a copper hand warmer: "Your Majesty, use this, so as not to tremble when you can write." ”

"No need, this cold is nothing, as long as it doesn't cold the people all over the world, it doesn't hurt to be cold and cold", Zhu Youxiao said casually and ran around the yard.

Although Liu Ru was still young, after listening to His Majesty's words, he was a little moved in his heart, and said secretly: "Your Majesty is indeed a good emperor." ”

Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Ru was still standing there stupidly, so he shouted:

"You also come to run with me, strengthen exercise, the more this weather is more sweaty so that it is not easy to get caught in the cold, my ancestors are just because they don't pay attention to physical exercise, one by one they don't live long."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Liu Ru responded with a good word, put down the small hand stove, spread his feet and ran with Zhu Youxiao.

The big one and the small one ran around the palace wall like this, and only when the sun was on the drum tower and the entire snow-covered Forbidden City began to be inlaid with bright golden light, did the two stop and look at each other sweating profusely and laugh.

Panting Xiaoliu would also serve people, seeing that Zhu Youxiao's forehead was full of beads of sweat, he wanted to wipe it for him, but Zhu Youxiao directly hugged her thin waist and lifted her up and put her on his neck: "Let's go, go back to the house." ”

The Kunning Palace is still warm as spring, the thick carpet is spread in the warm pavilion, the floor is heated underneath, and the misty incense burner is also warm.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming in with Liu Ru on his back like this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but say angrily: "Your Majesty, you like children, and you have to pay attention to your identity, this dragon head can be ridden casually." ”

"This is not above the court, why be so stubborn", Zhu Youxiao said and ordered: "Ask someone to prepare two buckets of hot water, let me and Xiao Ru take a bath, and go to the cold."

But at this moment, Wang Chengen's voice came from outside Kunning Palace: "Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, the general system of the three sides, has six hundred miles to expedite the performance back!" ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, secretly thinking that it was now the eighth year of the Apocalypse, that is, the first year of Chongzhen in history, the day of the large-scale peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about going to take a bath now, so he went out of the back room in sweaty clothes, and as soon as he saw Wang Chengen, he snatched the fold in his hand: "Show me!" ”

"Your Majesty Wan'an, Sun Cheng'an, the chief of the trilateral system, played:

Since the ministers entered Tongguan in the west of last year, they have been taken care of by His Majesty, and have put down three mutinies among the soldiers, riots among the people, and punished 12 illegal officials from the governor, including 56 dismissals of officials, and relief of more than 143,000 displaced people.

But who expected that as soon as this year entered the spring, there was a locust plague in Hanzhong, and the harvest of more than ten prefectures and counties around was not guaranteed, and at this time, the displaced people suddenly increased again, and because of the WG county order Luo Wenjin continued to exploit the people, resulting in **** among the people, surrounding the county government, fortunately, the minister rushed to kill the county order in time, and won the people's grievances, but now there are nearly a million people in urgent need of relief, and this year, in the spring, the price of food has skyrocketed, Your Majesty has used up the grain allocated before, and I implore Your Majesty to allocate another three million stone grain, otherwise the riots everywhere will inevitably form a prairie fire, Once the people of Shaanxi are in turmoil, the old minister will only die to thank Your Majesty! “

After reading the excerpt, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that there was no mention of a large-scale peasant uprising, and handed the excerpt to Wang Chengen: "This Sun Chengzong is okay but scares me, as long as there are no people to rebel." ”

But at this moment, there was a small yellow door outside the house and shouted: "Your Majesty, Zhu Youzhen and the Zhou family have asked to see you." ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Zhu Youzhen would be a deserter on the first day, and he would come to see him the next day, so he ordered someone to bring him in, and he came in with Zhou.

Because of the care of Empress Zhang Yan, the Zhou family can still enter and leave the palace at will, otherwise Zhu Youzhen, a house arrester who has been deposed as a prince, would not be able to come here.

However, this time, as soon as Zhu Youzhen came in, he knelt down directly towards Zhu Youxiao: "Brother Zhu Youzhen left the barracks without permission and violated military regulations, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Youzhen did not expect that as soon as he escaped from the Praetorian Guard barracks, he learned that the Praetorian Guards had executed Chen Mingxia and three other soldiers who escaped from the barracks without permission, and because of this, he realized that he had also committed a great sin.

As soon as he returned to Xiyuan this morning, he was very worried about mentioning the matter to Zhou, and under Zhou's persuasion, Zhu Youzhen had to take the initiative to ask for guilt.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen could take the initiative to ask for guilt, Zhu Youxiao more or less changed his bad impression of Zhu Youzhen, so he also pretended to be serious and said: "It's good to know that you have committed a crime, just kneel first, and I will ask you later!" ”

Zhu Youxiao naturally did this to see Zhu Youzhen's reaction, to see if he would still have a rebellious heart when he knelt all the time.

And Queen Zhang Yan wanted to persuade a few words, but Zhu Youxiao waved her hand, and she had to shut up.

Zhu Youxiao still continued to pick up Sun Chengzong's recital at this time; "For the grain that Sun Chengzong wanted, tell the cabinet that when the ticket was drafted, he promised Sun Chengzong all the requirements, and if the food was not enough, he would take the silver to make up, and then check why the grain in Shaanxi was rising wildly, didn't I already order people to transport grain in Shudi, Huguang and other places?"

"Your Majesty, now there is not much grain stored in the capital Taicang and Tongzhou, but I am afraid that it is not enough to make up less than three million stones, and it is still difficult to make up 500,000 stones, and the stock of internal funds is not much, and the daily consumption of the Praetorian Guards after training is too great."

Wang Chengen said and said: "And from the minister's point of view, what Sun Chengzong said is an exaggeration, it was more serious than this in previous years, and the imperial court did not give much relief, no, it is fine, although there are also small riots, but it can be easily quelled." ”

"You can't think like that, this year doesn't have to be in previous years, social contradictions have become increasingly intensified, I'd rather the court take out a little more, and I can't let these people go hungry anymore!"

Zhu Youxiao said: "If the grain is not enough, just take the silver, and go to various places to buy it, I heard that the Liangguang area received a lot of grain last year, so I went there to buy it, and in addition, I can also let the city department go to the Nanyang area to buy grain, in short, we must meet Sun Chengzong's requirements." ”

"Your Majesty, but the silver is not enough, don't you know, now the internal treasury is only more than 20 million taels, and the tax of the treasury this year has not been confiscated, and you are exempt from almost the entire northern tax, and now you have to maintain the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, the Ordnance Department and the military salaries in various places and the construction of your cemetery.

Wang Chengen replied with some concern.

"Why did I spend it so quickly, how could the silver from the hands of the Eight Great Jin Merchants and the Donglin Party be spent so quickly", Zhu Youxiao was surprised by this, but when he thought about how he spent money everywhere these days, he directly allocated silver wherever there was a disturbance, and directly allocated silver where there was a disaster, plus the offerings of the feudal kings in various places, it was reasonable to spend more than half of it at once.

"Since this is the case, then just like that, take out the money I used to repair the mausoleum, and people will die but turn into a handful of loess, what kind of mausoleum to build, and curse me to die early?"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Zhu Youzhen first shouted: "Brother Huang, no!" ”

And Wang Chengen also knelt down: "No, Your Majesty! The mausoleum is a major event of the country, and it must not be delayed! ”
