Chapter 65: The stubborn Zhu Youzhen
Because tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youxiao did not stay in Xinuan Pavilion to deal with government affairs, in addition to letting Wang Chengen continue to be on duty in Xinuan Pavilion, he also gave himself a half-day off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now, he and Liu Ru are lying on a warm kang in the east wing of Kunning Palace.
In the middle of the kang was placed a globe presented by Tang Ruowangjin, and Liu Ru asked Zhu Youxiao while fluctuating the globe:
"Your Majesty, are we really living on such a ball?"
"Yes, didn't I take you to the Royal Academy of Sciences to attend a conference on the latest advances in astronomy, and Xu Shilang personally did a proof experiment for you, you forgot."
Zhu Youxiao scratched Liu Ru is little Qiong's nose, Liu Ru pursed her mouth, touched her little head and said:
"But the servant still can't figure it out, you said we were on the ball, why didn't it fall?"
"This is because, the earth we live in has gravity, you know, forget it, now I tell you that you don't understand this, I will first test some simple geography knowledge that I taught you a few days ago."
Zhu Youxiao turned the globe as he spoke, pointing to the land in the form of boots: "Where is this?" ”
"Beat Luo Bazhou", Liu Ru answered without thinking about it.
"What about here?"
"America".
……
Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Ru was already able to remember what he had taught her, so he casually handed her a gold bill: "Awesome, I've rewarded you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty", Liu Ru happily took the gold bill, and asked again: "Your Majesty, our Daming doesn't look very big, you see that there is still so much land on it, and here." ”
"It's okay, when the navy of the Ming Dynasty becomes strong in the future, sooner or later I will have to plant the banner of my Ming Dynasty in these places, if you are obedient, when you grow up, I will also send you a piece of land and let you be the female king."
Zhu Youxiao was also childlike at this time, and said without thinking.
Liu Ru asked seriously, "Really?" “
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
Then, Liu Ru pointed to the plate of Dongying (geographically sensitive word avoidance) and said: "Then I want to be here, not far from Daming, so that if I become a female king, I can come back to play with Your Majesty." “
"Yes, in the future, I will make you the female heaven there. Emperor! ”
Zhu Youxiao said very generously, but at this time, Wang Chengen walked in: "Your Majesty, King Xin's family has arrived, and they are waiting outside the palace now." ”
"Announce him to come in", Zhu Youxiao got up and sat upright, and Liu Ru also got off the kang and stood up in a proper manner.
Oh, I saw Zhu Youzhen, who was thin and very lonely, walking in, accompanied by Princess Zhou, both of whom saluted Zhu Youxiao.
"Let's go flat".
Zhu Youxiao said that he asked Empress Zhang Yan to take the Zhou family down to rest, and he personally walked in front of Zhu Youzhen.
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen, who was only seventeen years old, but had borne the wind, frost, rain and snow of the last seventeen years of the Ming Dynasty in history, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking: "Zhu Youzhen, do you know why I let you enter Beijing?" ”
"Isn't the royal brother just an eyesore, if you want to kill, kill it", Zhu Youzhen looked up very disdainfully, at this moment, he is more like the character he should have at his age, stubborn and rebellious.
Moreover, without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to speak, he scolded Zhu Youxiao coldly again: "Faint gentleman!" ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, and the princess Zhou, who had not gone far with the queen Zhang Yan, was suddenly frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly walked over to pull Zhu Youjian to check: "Husband! ”
Zhu Youzhen ignored Zhou, still looking up at the dome at forty-five degrees, and he didn't have the slightest good impression of his imperial brother now.
In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, the imperial brother Zhu Youxiao, as his husband said, is now not only a faint king, but also a tyrant, a cunning king with extreme hypocrisy.
On the surface, Wei Zhongxian was denounced to deceive the people, but secretly he used thunderous means to kill the loyal ministers of the court, and even confiscated the innocent gentry family, which made the people's resentment boiling.
"Brother Huang, husband, he offended you, and the slave family pleaded with you on his behalf!"
Zhou knew that Zhu Youzhen would not admit his mistake to Zhu Youxiao, so he apologized to Zhu Youxiao first.
But who knows, at this time, Zhu Youzhen slapped Zhou's face: "Who asked you to accompany this faint monarch, I, Zhu Youzhen, would rather become the soul of this faint monarch than wagging my tail and begging for mercy from him!" “
"Presumptuous!"
Zhu Youxiao saw that Zhu Youzhen was openly beating his wife in the court, so he also showed the majesty of his brother, and after scolding Zhu Youzhen, he directly ordered someone to clasp Zhu Youzhen's hands to prevent him from going crazy again.
Zhou covered his face, Pear Blossom stood up with rain, and saw Zhu Youxiao drinking at his husband, wanting to intercede for his husband, but he didn't know how to ask.
In the end, it was the queen Zhang Yan who pulled Zhou aside, and wiped Zhou's face that was red by Zhu Youzhen with a wet cloth, and persuaded him: "Brother and sister, don't worry, Your Majesty won't do anything to Youzhen, after all, they are brothers." ”
Here, Zhu Youxiao didn't think that the young man in front of him was the Emperor Chongzhen in the original history, but just asked kindly: "
"You say that I am a faint king, then I will ask you, where is my fainting? The Donglin Party wants to murder me, shouldn't I resist, the eight Jin merchants collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, shouldn't I copy it? “
Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and turned his face away, and calmed down for a while before saying: "They are too much for you, the emperor, but as the emperor, you should have the legacy of Tang Taizong, you can tolerate people who can't be tolerated by ordinary people, and you can't casually treat people for the big crime of stealing their homes and exterminating their families, for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, you shouldn't set up money gates everywhere, expropriate tyranny, and compete with the people for profit!" ”
The so-called re-enactment in troubled times, Zhu Youxiao knows what the Zhu Youzhen in front of him, who persuaded him to be generous, did when he was the emperor in history, and the Shangshu Governor who was executed by him was no less than himself.
But at this time, Zhu Youzhen didn't know what he looked like in history, just like Zhu Youxiao now insists that what he did was right.
"How I should be this emperor, I can't judge it, the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, whether I am a faint king or not, the people naturally know! And you, Zhu Youzhen, as a descendant of the royal family, said that he was concerned about the Ming Dynasty, and I asked you, what happened to you getting 10,000 acres of fertile land within a month after the domain, forcing the local political envoy to report to me that the king of faith was immoral, and tens of thousands of people were displaced. “
Zhu Youxiao asked like this, and Zhu Youzhen was speechless for a long time.
