Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said a little gossip with Wang Zhichen, and did not mention the matter of Shaanxi sacrifice, which made Wang Zhichen a little confused, and he couldn't find the direction for a while, could it be that nothing happened in Shaanxi?

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't know what the situation was now, and the news transmission in this era was too backward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Why don't you go to the next generation to build some radio stations?" Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, touched his chin, and muttered, it is too unrealistic to engage in mobile phones and calls, and the radio station should be the best choice, next time I go back to pay attention to it and get one.

stretched his waist, Emperor Chongzhen is still in a good mood, count the days, the seventh year of the Apocalypse is about to pass, and next year will be the first year of his Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, this is about the New Year's ritual arrangement!" Wang Chengen handed a note to Emperor Chongzhen, which was handed over by the Ministry of Rites. This year is the first year of Emperor Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, and there are many things waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to do.

Including worshipping the heavens and ancestors, etc., Emperor Chongzhen was busy this year, and the cumbersome etiquette would make Emperor Chongzhen anxious.

But Emperor Chongzhen can't help it, these are things that must be done, rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Chongzhen took a brief look at the article, and knew in his heart that he didn't have much say in these matters, so fortunately he let go: "Follow what the Ministry of Rites plays!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen nodded, bowed down and said, "Regarding the article from the Zongren Mansion, does the emperor take a look?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Don't look at it, the rewards given to the kings are all according to the old practice, and the same is true for the emperor's relatives and relatives." ”

For his first New Year as an emperor, Emperor Chongzhen is not ready to make a big move, he is really not ready! After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Regarding the New Year, you don't have to talk to me, it's all handled according to the old practice!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave understands!" Wang Chengen nodded, it was much easier to handle it according to the old practice.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is here!" Cao Huachun walked in from the outside, bowed down and said to Emperor Chongzhen, as soon as his words fell, Empress Zhou had already walked in from the outside, with a gentle smile on her face.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and motioned for Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun to retreat, and then said to Empress Zhou with a smile: "Why is the queen here?" I've been a little busy these days, I haven't been to the harem for a few days, has something happened to the harem? ”

For Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian, Emperor Chongzhen has been handling it carefully, for fear that these two will be antagonistic as in history.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen favored Empress Zhou and disposed of Concubine Tian, who was not convinced and finally died of depression. For Concubine Tian's pride, Emperor Chongzhen felt deeply, in order to prevent the tragedy in history, Emperor Chongzhen could only carefully maintain the relationship between the three.

But Yuan Guifei is good, her personality is as gentle as water, and she doesn't fight or grab, which makes people like it very much.

"Your Majesty, the New Year is coming soon, and the concubine will come over to measure the emperor's size." Empress Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said with a smile: "The concubine is going to make a few new clothes for the emperor, and Jiangnan Weaving has paid tribute to a lot of good silk." ”

As soon as he heard about Jiangnan weaving, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, beckoned Wang Chengen at the door, and said in a deep voice: "Is there a piece of information about Jiangnan weaving, bring it to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen agreed, and hurriedly went over there to rummage.

Empress Zhou didn't know what was wrong with Emperor Chongzhen, so she had to stand aside and watch quietly.

Soon the piece of Chen was found, Wang Chengen didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly to Emperor Chongzhen, handed the piece of Chen to Emperor Chongzhen, and then bowed down and retreated to the side.

Emperor Chongzhen took Tiao Chen, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was the same as he remembered.

This is a request to Emperor Chongzhen to suspend the weaving of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the above reasons are very clear, the rate belongs to the Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving craftsmen will not survive, the imperial court levy is serious, in a word, Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving can not make ends meet, bankrupt.

Jiangning weaving, Suzhou weaving and Hangzhou weaving are called "Jiangnan three weaving". The fine brocade paid tribute to the palace every year took up a large amount of expenses of the imperial court, and the corruption was also very serious, which was considered a broken net.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen handed the fold to Wang Chengen, and said in a deep voice: "Take it down!" ”

Wang Chengen and Empress Zhou didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to let it go so lightly, originally thought that Emperor Chongzhen would definitely deal with some things if he came to this article with a black face, but he didn't expect that just a look at it would be over, how did you say this?

After Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he understood in his heart that the root of the contradiction was one point, that is, the household registration system of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Military households, artisan households, etc., divided into categories, hereditary replacement, the implementation of this for many years, has long been rotten to the roots, how can there be a Jiangnan three weaving? Now I can't solve this problem, I can only take a look and keep it in my heart!

"The queen doesn't want to make clothes for me, come on!" Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Empress Zhou and said with a smile.

Nodding, Empress Zhou measured the size of Emperor Chongzhen under the service of the palace maid, and then said with a smile: "Compared with last year, the emperor's figure seems to have grown taller, stronger, more handsome, and looks better than Pan An!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, knowing that this was Empress Zhou amusing herself, she reached out and tapped her nose, and said with a smile; "You!"

"Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it's time for reunion, but the second brother is still in Jinyiwei's edict." Empress Zhou hesitated for a while, but still said hesitantly: "The emperor wants to put the second brother back and let him accompany his father for the New Year." ”

"The concubine pleads guilty to the emperor for the second brother, and asks the emperor to let him go!" Queen Zhou knelt on the ground as she spoke, looking pitiful.

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, he really forgot about his brother-in-law, touched his chin, and there was nothing wrong with letting him go, but it was not okay not to punish him. After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's okay to release people, but it's not okay not to punish them." ”

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words, Empress Zhou's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine thanked the emperor!" ”

Beckoning to Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen instructed: "Go, tell Tian Ergeng, let those people go, remember to fine and punish them." I don't care about the others, my brother-in-law fined him 10,000 taels of silver, and asked him to sweep the streets for me for a month, not a day less. ”

Wang Chengen listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words, glanced at Empress Zhou, and saw that Empress Zhou had no objection, nodded, bowed and retreated.

Regarding the net worth of his old father-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen is very clear, 10,000 taels is just a drizzle. However, this guy wants money to die, and he picks the door very much, and this 10,000 taels is estimated to make him feel distressed for a while. Sooner or later, he will be hemorrhaged, Emperor Chongzhen thought viciously.

Although she felt sorry for her younger brother, Empress Zhou also knew that this was already Emperor Chongzhen's biggest concession, and there was no way to continue to say anything.

However, seeing the appearance of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou also realized that the emperor was dissatisfied with her father. I suddenly felt bad in my heart, I thought about it, I didn't figure out what the problem was, but I made up my mind in my heart, I must warn my father when I go back.

"Your Majesty, the concubine will leave!" Empress Zhou was not in the mood to stay here at this time, and she could see that Emperor Chongzhen was not in the mood to take care of herself.

Nodding and letting Empress Zhou leave, Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his forehead, he was really a little troubled, his own queen, his father-in-law, it can't be light, it's not good if it's heavy, it's not easy to deal with! After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said to Cao Huachun: "Swing and go to Chengqian Palace!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen is going to Tian Guifei to relax, and recently Tian Guifei has learned the ability of one-handed massage, which makes Emperor Chongzhen feel very satisfied, and there is a feeling of being happy.

As soon as she returned to Kunning Palace, Empress Zhou heard the news that Emperor Chongzhen had gone to Qianqing Palace.

When she entered the door and saw her father, Queen Zhou's face was not very good-looking, in the eyes of Queen Zhou, this was what Emperor Chongzhen deliberately did for herself. Expressing his dissatisfaction with himself, he couldn't help but have some red circles in his eyes, and tears flowed down without hesitation.

Seeing his daughter like this, Zhou Guozhang hurriedly asked, "Didn't the matter work out?" The emperor still won't let your brother go? ”

Glancing at her father, Queen Zhou said in a somewhat stiff tone: "You care about your son, do you still have my daughter in your heart?" If my queen is gone, see who will protect your son! ”

Listening to his daughter's words, Zhou Guozhang raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the maid who followed Queen Zhou.

"The emperor hasn't been to Kunning Palace for some days, and he's been in Chengqian Palace these days!" Seeing that Queen Zhou didn't stop her, the palace maid also said: "There is news from the front, the emperor is very unhappy this time, and he is very dissatisfied with the Guozhang Mansion. ”

"Originally, the emperor was going to clean up these people ruthlessly, but the Guozhang Mansion was implicated, which made the emperor very embarrassed." The palace maid glanced at Empress Zhou cautiously again, and continued: "The emperor is in a bad mood, although he didn't say anything to the queen, but he didn't come to Kunning Palace these days!" ”

Zhou Guozhang sighed, and scolded his uncompetitive son in his heart, but what could he do? I still can't ignore it!

"Father, you and I tell you the truth, is there anything else in our family, although my brother did something inappropriate this time, but the emperor will not be so angry, what is going on?" Queen Zhou stopped crying, looked at her father, and asked with a serious face.
