Chapter 538: Chongzhen is a Good Emperor (II)
Unconsciously, Emperor Chongzhen talked about state affairs again, and he could be described as a heart-to-heart message to Wang Dou, and even recalled his experience of being in power for more than ten years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that he doesn't understand why the more diligent he is, the more debilitating the state affairs become? There are captives outside, there are rogues inside, there are hungry people all over the world, and even my uncle died at the hands of thieves.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and even shed tears: "Natural disasters continue, thousands of miles of red land, thieves are repeatedly suppressed, people cannibalize each other, and I am helpless. Some courtiers said that this is the number of qi, and I also think that it is the number of qi, but it is just ...... I'm really not reconciled...... Unwilling to ......"
Seeing him crying sadly, Wang Dehua howled, knelt down and said: "Slaves and maids deserve to die, and they can't share their worries for the saints." ”
Wang Chengen also knelt down and wept silently, and the surrounding guards and eunuchs also cried together.
Wang Dou was also a little sad, he sighed and said: "The emperor doesn't have to blame himself too much, the world is in chaos, and it is not the emperor's fault." ”
He looked at Emperor Chongzhen, he was not much older than himself, but due to overwork, his hair and sideburns were gray, his clothes were patched, and he was hunched over, like a little old man, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
It is undeniable that Emperor Chongzhen has some flaws in his personality and is too impatient, but the way Da Ming looks in front of him, he can't be blamed for everything, when he took over, he was already a mess, an interest group, and he had swallowed up this country.
All kinds of huge interest groups are very scary, and any action that will be taken will cause a backlash and even destabilize the foundation of the country.
Only when you are in the game can you understand the difficulty of this, every step of the way. The siege and pressure from all sides will overwhelm the people, and finally crush the offender to a meatloaf. If the countries of later generations are reformed, will they change more and more for the better, or will the more they change, the worse they will be?
100 percent, it's getting worse and worse. Until the collapse, this is the helplessness of being in the game.
It was Wang Dou who jumped out of the game, and he was also struggling. If this rumor storm is an example, it is conceivable that such attacks will continue in the future, and every time he takes a step, he will have to shed a river of blood to realize the ideal in his heart. It is not known how many people's blood will be shed in the future.
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen was too unlucky, and the most terrible Xiaoice period was caught up by him, and natural disasters continued one after another.
It is also a catastrophe that is rare in a hundred years or a thousand years, and it is put in circulation. In the future generations of disaster relief, the authorities will also be overwhelmed and unable to eat and walk around, not to mention that in the backward productive forces, it is still the late stage of a dynasty.
There are few emperors as diligent and courageous as Chongzhen, and he should not end up like in history.
He said: "As the Holy Lord said, Your Majesty has devoted himself to serving the country, and looking at the country, Emperor Gao and His Majesty are the most diligent, and His Majesty is worthy of state affairs, and there is no need to blame himself too much. ”
Emperor Chongzhen regained his composure and said: "Ruqing's words, but I don't understand, why is state affairs like this? ”
Wang Dou sighed: "The Ming Dynasty has rotted from top to bottom, and the foundation has been destroyed, so if a seriously ill patient is impatient, it is better to slow down a little bit, and the ancient sages also have clouds: governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the Ming Dynasty is so in the country, only to slowly plan it." ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, Wang Dou's words made him very comfortable to listen to, and explained that unlike some ministers, he scolded as soon as he came up, scolded for a long time, and he didn't know what he was scolding, except for making himself thunderous, there was no other use.
At the same time, his heart moved, Wang Dou not only conquered the battlefield, but also governed the country, and it was quite successful.
He sighed: "Having said that, it's just that state affairs are like this, and every time I think about it, I am always anxious, but I am afraid that I will lose the inheritance of the country passed down by my ancestors." ”
Wang Dou said: "Emperor Gao has the grace of reinvention for China, and the minister thinks that he will definitely protect his children and grandchildren, so that the emperor will be too safe and happy!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand Wang Dou's meaning, but he could still hear that Wang Dou was loyal to the country and hoped that he would be too peaceful.
The more he looked at Wang Dou, the more pleasing he became, and he thought about it for a long time, and finally, he still glanced at Wang Dehua.
Wang Dehua gritted his teeth, as if he was about to be beheaded, his fat body moved to Wang Dou's side, and said with a smile: "Yongning Hou, please take a step to speak." ”
Wang Dou was a little strange: "Princess, what's the matter?" ”
confessed to the emperor, walked a few steps with Wang Dehua, the two stopped, Wang Dehua wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed difficult to speak.
Wang Dou looked at him and felt that he was not good at speaking, quite strange, he swept his eyes, but saw that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to pay attention to this side, and saw Wang Dou's view, and turned away as if nothing happened, and on the opposite attic, the same serious eyes came.
Finally, Wang Dehua smiled and said, "Yongning Hou knows Princess Kunxing, right?" What are your impressions? ”
Wang Dou said: "Of course, Ben Hou has seen it several times, and the princess is beautiful and beautiful. ”
Wang Dehua smiled so much that his face bloomed, and he said in a low voice: "Yongning Hou is loyal and invincible, brave and invincible, and the princess admires him a lot. ”
Wang Dou looked at Wang Dehua for a long time, the news contained in this was too amazing, but fortunately, he finally understood, and he said in surprise: "The princess is very loving, and Weichen is grateful, but she is only a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she be a concubine?" Is the royal etiquette permissible? ”
Wang Dehua's smile suddenly stopped, and he said embarrassedly: "It must not be a concubine, Yongning Hou can think of a plan to marry the princess as a wife." ”
Wang Dou was displeased in his heart, he shook his head, and sighed: "The princess is very loving, and Weichen is grateful, but the wife of the chaff is not in court." ”
Seeing that Wang Dou's tone was calm, but his demeanor was resolute, Wang Dehua was even more embarrassed, and said in the future: "It's the same...... This Chen Shimei, can't do it, can't do it......"
The two returned to their original places, and when Emperor Chongzhen saw Wang Dehua's face, he already understood Wang Dou's meaning, and his expression turned from expectation to disappointment.
Touching Wang Dou's gaze again, his face turned red instantly, and then turned black and red, and finally he looked blank and raised his glass to Wang Dou, but he couldn't say a complete sentence half-loud: "Qing...... I ......"
The atmosphere in the pavilion was as if it was about to be suffocated, and the guards and eunuchs did not dare to come out, only the cold wind swept the sound of flowers and trees.
……
Wang Dou went out under the guidance of the eunuch, and Empress Zhou came down from the attic, and walked to Emperor Chongzhen with Nana.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's face was still pale, and he came over after seeing Zhou. He glanced at her angrily: "It's all your bad idea, in front of the courtiers, my face is lost." Later, Hugh mentioned this person before me. ”
Zhou Hou sighed and said: "This Wang Douwen Taowu is a good match, and he can be a strong match for the royal family, but it's a pity that he has a wife!" ”
Here's the scenario. She could see clearly in the attic that Wang Dou was dressed in a python robe and a three-mountain hat. The gestures and the majesty were very imposing, which made her more and more satisfied, and his words to persuade the emperor spoke to her heart.
She sighed repeatedly, "It's a pity...... However, this Wang Dou is unwilling to divorce his wife and remarry, and he also attaches great importance to love and righteousness. People who are not climbing dragons and attaching phoenixes, alas, how can Xie Xiuniang have such a husband, it is really a blessing that she cultivated in her previous life. ”
Emperor Chongzhen was even more angry: "This matter will not be mentioned in the future." If I am a royal princess, as if no one wants it, where is my face? Where is the royal face? ”
He asked Queen Zhou: "What about Jiao'er, let her come to see me, I want to tell her that from now on, she is not allowed to spit out the word Wang Dou in her mouth again." ”
Queen Zhou sighed: "When she went down to the attic, she had already secretly left, obviously chasing that Wang Dou." ”
Emperor Chongzhen roared: "Eat inside and crawl outside, I'm angry, immediately find the princess and ground!" ”
……
Wang Dou was led out by Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen walked beside Wang Dou, and all the way, he kept a gloomy face and didn't speak.
The little eunuch Wang Desheng, following behind Wang Chengen, sighed along the way, and felt a great pity for Wang Dou.
Walking on the road, Wang Dou was also silently recalling the previous scene, after his own refusal, the relationship between himself and the emperor, which was originally slightly soothing, turned tense again, but himself, could he have divorced Xie Xiuniang to marry the princess?
He understands very well that the answer is, no!
It was impossible for Ji Junjiao back then, and it was also impossible for Princess Zhu Yujiao.
After walking for a while, turning a path, I faintly smelled a cold fragrance, but it was a fake stone, and there were more than a dozen red plums like rouge, at this time Wang Chengen suddenly stopped and said in surprise: "Is it Princess Kunxing?" ”
The sky was slightly dark, and Wang Dou, who was in deep thought, saw that by a red plum tree, there was a girl wearing a mink fur standing, looking at herself timidly, and beside her, there were two palace maids looking nervously around, who was not Zhu Yujiao?
He stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Princess Kunxing." ”
Zhu Yujiao returned the salute a little shyly, then looked at Wang Chengen and begged: "Princess, Jiao'er will say a few words to Yongninghou, okay?" ”
Wang Chengen actually regards Zhu Yujiao as a daughter, and his love for her will not be worse than that of Emperor Chongzhen.
He sighed and whispered, "Be quick." ”
Then he took the little eunuch Wang Desheng and quickly hid to the side, not knowing where he flashed.
As soon as Wang Chengen left, Zhu Yujiao touched the corner of her clothes uneasily, and said in a low voice: "...... the Marquis of Yongning"
Wang Dou looked at her, saw that her makeup was elegant, her demeanor was graceful, and she was already quite graceful, and sighed in her heart, she was just a girl in the flower season, if she was placed in the next generation, she would be like a gentle and lovely little sister next door, but she grew up in the deep palace.
She is full of curiosity and expectation about everything outside, but her background makes her unable to enjoy this happiness, if she grows up in a peaceful and prosperous era, she can be rich and honorable, but she grew up in the last days of the dynasty, but let her finally break the country and die, her life is miserable, and she dies depressed.
"Marquis Yongning, father and mother...... Please don't take that to heart......"
"They are just worried about national affairs...... Every time Jiao'er went to see her father, she frowned when she saw him, and Jiao'er's heart hurt so much, she wanted to do something for her father, but she didn't know how to do it......"
"I just want the state affairs to get better slowly...... Father can not worry, every time the victory of the Marquis of Yongning comes, Jiao'er is very happy......"
As she spoke, Princess Kunxing's tears poured down, and in the slowly darkening sky, they were crystal clear.
Wang Dou sighed and said softly: "Don't worry, Emperor Gao will protect you, and the Holy Lord will be fine." ”
Princess Kunxing raised her head, surprised and delighted: "The meaning of the Marquis of Yongning is that no matter how bad the state affairs are, he will protect his father?" ”
Wang Dou said, "Yes." ”
Princess Kunxing thought for a while, and then said, "Will you protect the queen mother?" ”
Wang Dou said: "Yes." ”
In the end, Zhu Yujiao's cheeks turned red, and her voice was inaudible: "Will it protect me?" ”
Wang Dou said: "Yes." ”
Zhu Yujiao's face was even more like a layer of rouge, and her heart was like a deer, and then, her tears rolled down again, and she choked up: "Yongning Hou cherishes, every day in the palace, Jiao'er will beg the Buddha for protection, and silently pray for Yongning Hou." ”
She stared at Wang Dou, hid her face and left, and the shadow flashed the red plum and disappeared. (To be continued.) )
