Chapter 56: A New Year
"Oh, wait for me to get dressed!" Gently stepping out of bed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse instructed the palace maid, many things have not been used to this period of time, but this enjoyment has learned ten of jiu. It seems that no matter what time it is, people are lazy!
"How many years have you been in the palace?" When the palace maid was dressing the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked unintentionally.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid entered the palace at the age of nine, and it has been thirty years now." The palace maid was slightly stunned, thought about it and said lightly.
"Thirty years, how many thirty years are there in a person's life. Why did you enter the palace in the first place? "At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had the urge to release these palace maids from the palace for the first time in his heart, and it might not be a good thing for them to stay here.
"There was a drought at home that year, and the whole family of slaves and maids went into exile, and in the end, my parents had no choice but to sell me. After several handovers by traffickers, it was bought into the palace by a father-in-law, and it has been thirty years now. The palace maid's tone was very flat, as if she was really telling something that had nothing to do with her, but in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it was lifeless. It seems that this place has lived for a long time, and people have become walking dead.
"Where is the Queen Mother? I'm going to say goodbye. Gently helped the clothes he was wearing, and after washing up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked the palace maid behind him.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall at this time, but the Queen Mother left a message just before leaving" The palace maid seemed to have expected the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, muttered slightly, bowed respectfully, and said slowly.
"Say." The Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but secretly say: "It seems that people in this world are old, and they all have a common hobby, that is, eating fasting and reciting Buddha." โ
"The Queen Mother said that the Ming Dynasty can't withstand the turmoil, and hopes that Your Majesty can be diligent in government and love the people, and do a good job, the Queen Mother will be very happy. As for those false courtesies, don't pay attention to them, the emperor's thoughts and the queen mother know. The palace maid was obviously relaying the words of the Queen Mother, probably because she sang it at the time of the Queen Mother's side, and it seemed that her demeanor was somewhat similar, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was funny in her heart but did not expose it.
After leaving Cining Palace, Emperor Tianqi returned to Qianqing Palace, and after breakfast, he came to the imperial study. Looking at Li Lan and Chen Hong, who were already waiting here, the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse warmed slightly, maybe this is what it feels like to be waited!
Through this time of life in the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gradually understood why so many emperors in the Ming Dynasty favored eunuchs, for these princes who grew up in the courtyard of the deep palace, fatherly love and maternal love are a luxury. The father is busy with his career (in fact, it is **), and the mother is busy assisting the father (in fact, he is the husband who takes care of his own good sรจ), so that these people have no time to care about their sons. On the contrary, these eunuchs who watched the prince grow up, maybe out of interest, or out of love, after all, they are all people without sons! In the end, they were very good to the prince, at least in the eyes of the prince, and this kind of trust and affection established since childhood was not only very difficult to let go, but also difficult for outsiders to have an effect.
For the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, most of them had an unhappy childhood, and perhaps this was the main reason for their mediocrity.
"Concubines, slaves, I have seen the emperor." With a gentle wave of his hand, he motioned for the two of them to be flat, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Li Lan: "Is there any urgent excerpt?" โ
Because the Emperor of the Apocalypse likes Li Lan very much, and she is also literate and hyphenated, she helped the Emperor of the Apocalypse approve many of the twists and turns. Even if she didn't help the Emperor of the Apocalypse approve the popularity, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would have to let her watch the folds and then read it to herself. Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not like the Emperor of the Apocalypse in history, he has not learned anything at all, but he has no way to write classical Chinese with traditional characters. Don't say it's written, now I can't read it.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is nothing important to fold." At this time, Li Lan is more mature and stable, and it is difficult to find the figure of the little girl who is only promised.
"Hmm", the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, and said to Chen Hong: "Go and find Wang An." Seeing that Chen Hong was gone, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Li Lan: "Lan'er, I think the palace maids in the palace are too hard, and it seems too cruel to let them die of old age in the palace, I want to let a group of palace maids out of the palace, what do you think?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse told Li Lan what he thought in his heart, and it had become the habit of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to discuss with her for some time.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is telling the truth, Your Majesty may be kind, but if such a will continues, then I'm afraid there will be many sisters who will not survive." After this period of understanding, Li Lan knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse liked her to tell the truth, and not only would he not punish but would reward her, so he naturally didn't care about it.
"Why? If I don't want to leave the palace, I will naturally not let them go, and only if I want to leave the palace, I will let them go. "Emperor Apocalypse naturally knows that many palace maids have lived in the palace all their lives, and they are old and decrepit and have lost the protection of the palace, not only can they not live better, but they can easily lose their lives, and such things are not uncommon in history.
"It is naturally best for the emperor to do this, and the sisters in the palace on behalf of the concubines thank you, Your Majesty." Li Lan didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already thought of everything he had thought of, and he admired the Emperor of the Apocalypse even more in his heart.
As soon as the news of the Emperor of the Apocalypse dismissing the palace maids came out, the Jingshi suddenly had a discussion, followed by unanimous praise. Countless ministers, countless excerpts, for a time it seemed that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had become the most holy emperor in the world, and the Ming Dynasty seemed to be peaceful and prosperous.
In such an atmosphere, winter is coming, and in this bleak winter, everything seems to be quiet. The world was peaceful, and the ministers and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had nothing to do all day. The only thing that makes people wonder is that the Huangzhuang in the east of the capital has not been very clean recently, and there are always violent explosions, which makes the people in the capital not rest very well.
Although some ministers played the matter to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the excerpt was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news. Some people also sent their own family members to investigate, but they were driven back by a group of fierce men. Everyone knew that it must be unusual, and even those who were interested already knew that it was the sound of artillery, but no one went to the trouble.
Since this incident happened in the Imperial Village, then the Emperor of the Apocalypse must have known that since nothing was revealed, no one from these ministers went to find that trouble.
In addition to this incident, there seem to be some Westerners in the capital suddenly, blonde and blue-eyed, who speak any language, but not too many people pay attention.
In this way, in a quiet and peaceful situation, the year finally passed, ushering in the first year of the apocalypse.
