Upstairs in Binyue, Zhang Zhang and Ruochen kept talking until dusk.

Everything has been arranged, and Zhang Zhang is now just waiting for the Tomorrow Hall to try to see the real chapter.

To say that you are not nervous at all is false.

Therefore, in the last bit of time before the exam, it is better to stay with Ruochen's sister to reduce pressure.

Zhang Li suddenly remembered that at the Wuding River bridgehead that day, Ruochen had several carriages to marry to Wu Mansion, as if he was pulled back to Xiaoyue Villa.

Zhang Zhang opened his mouth and asked: "Ruochen, there are several carriages for the wedding that day, I remember that they were pulled back, how do you deal with them?" ‘

Ruochen frowned and said, "I don't want it, it's annoying to look at, it's all in the side room!" ‘

Zhang Li pondered for a moment and said, "After all, those things belong to your own family, why not?" Even if it's Wu Sangui's, Young Master Ben has to laugh at it......

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhang remembered that Wu Sangui's 200,000 taels of silver tickets were 'shun' back by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face.

Ruochen buried his head lower and whispered, "I...... I'm actually afraid that you'll be upset......

Zhang Li laughed and said, "It's okay, you pick out something you like." ‘

Ruochen nodded and whispered, "That's good. I have only chosen a few essential daily things before, just for fear that you will not be happy. Now that you say so, then I'll move things over and decorate this boudoir. ‘

Ruochen was still thinking about how to arrange it in his heart, but suddenly heard Zhang Li speak.

'Tomorrow is the time of the temple examination, are you nervous?' ‘

Hearing Zhang Li's sudden words, Ruochen suddenly frowned.

Am I nervous?

Shouldn't you be nervous?

Why do you ask me to come?

Zhang Zhang didn't wait for Ruochen to ask a question, and continued to say to himself: "This day has finally arrived. ‘

Ruo Chen realized that Zhang Li's sentence just now was asking him himself--a little babbling......

Belch. It seems that Zhang Zhang is here to confide in himself, and I just listen to it.

Ruochen gently stroked Zhang Li's face: "You say, I'll listen." ‘

'In the two hundred years of the dynasty, the champions, top eyes, and tanhua of the first class will inevitably be awarded the official Hanlin Academy, right? ‘

'Tomorrow is going to change!' Hallym Temple? A scholar with a white head. Young Master Ben disdains it! ‘

'If the country doesn't change, the Ming Dynasty will probably die......

Ruo Chen exclaimed, 'Huh? ――What did you say? The Ming Dynasty is going to die?! ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded slightly, still lying in Ruochen's arms: "I can only say these words to you. I'm going to change my life, and it all starts tomorrow. ‘

If it is my destiny, I hope that tomorrow will give me what I want!' ‘

Ruo Chen's body trembled slightly: "Zhang Li, what do you mean by this?" What do you want to do tomorrow? ‘

'Without him, a blockbuster! ‘

Ruochen's little heart was pounding. It took a long time to come back to my senses and say, 'Don't! I don't know what you're going to do, but wouldn't it be nice if you usually finished the exam? Anyway, the palace test only determines the ranking, and does not do elimination. You must be a jinshi, don't take any chances! ‘

Zhang Zhang shook his head: "I have no way back. ‘

Ruochen was a little puzzled: "What is there no way out?" You start as a petty official, and it's good to slowly boil up your qualifications! Aren't all court officials like this? ‘

Zhang Li shook his head again: "They can, I can't. Because I have pursuits. ‘

'Pursuit? Ruochen was a little surprised, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Li.

After a long time, Ruochen said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean by power?" ‘

Zhang Li smiled slightly. Nodding his head, he said: 'Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women - this is what I wish in my heart!' Belch. I don't know if the second half of the sentence has been realized, anyway, the first half of the sentence is 108,000 miles away. ‘

As soon as he heard the words 'drunk lying beauty's knees', Ruochen couldn't help but blush again, and his thighs subconsciously leaned in the middle: "What nonsense! It's so embarrassing, I won't let you lie down if you say it again! ‘

After Zhang Li laughed, his eyes became extremely clear: "Ruochen." How long do you say it will take to wake up to the power of the world? Decade? Twenty years? ‘

Ruochen thought seriously for a long time, and muttered, "Lord Shoufu Zhou is the fastest, right?" It took 20 years! ‘

It was twenty years...... I'm afraid there won't be so much time, and after twenty years, the Han family will no longer be well--I, I can't afford to wait! ‘

Ruo Chen's brows furrowed. I really don't understand what Zhang Li meant......

Just when Zhang Li was lying on Ruochen's lap and thinking, 'Wake up to the power of the world', there was a person in the Forbidden City who was anxious about this 'power of the world'.

This person is only in his early twenties, but the whole person has lost the breath of youth, and his white and slender face shows a look that is more mature than his actual age, even old.

He is Emperor Chongzhen.

At this moment, he frowned, pursed his lips, cut his hands behind his back, and sighed in the imperial study.

Chongzhen sighed, with an extremely lonely expression.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been like this almost every day -- carrying the burden of a country that has been riddled with holes, and he doesn't know which hole to cure first? What's more, one sore has not healed, and another sore has risen, and I am so tired that I am tired and exhausted.

Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, and Wen Tiren, the second assistant, who had just summoned the imperial study to discuss the proceedings, discussed national affairs for most of the day.

It wasn't until Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren withdrew that they found out that nothing had been agreed upon, and nothing had been decided.

No matter what happened, as soon as Zhou Yanru opened his mouth, he traced it back from the first emperor to Yao Shunyu Tang, and always said that those ancestors became the law.

And Wen Tiren went from Shang Ying to Wang Anshi and then to Zhang Juzheng, those virtuous monarchs and famous ministers changed the law of their ancestors, and how the country became rich and strong.

As soon as it came to the specific problem, the two began to grasp the blind and endlessly tear each other down.

Zhou Yanru agreed, Wen Tiren opposed;

Wen Tiren agreed, Zhou Yanru opposed-

In the end, there is only one result, please ask the emperor's sacred heart to decide!

'Phew! Everything has to be decided by the Sacred Heart, and what do you two want to do?! Chongzhen gritted his teeth and cursed, sat down suddenly, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and narrowed his eyes.

The eunuch who was waiting behind him hurriedly handed over a cup of ginseng tea. But Chongzhen didn't have the idea of drinking at all, and reluctantly shook his head, even if he gave the order to 'withdraw'.

Chongzhen only felt a splitting headache and a buzzing in his ears......

The country's finances have been so bad that all the nominal taxes that can be conceived have been levied again and again, plus the three times and twice 'additional distributions', which has made the weight of taxes in this dynasty the highest in all dynasties. But it's still not enough.

However, there is nowhere to save military spending -- especially the military spending in Liaodong is like a bottomless pit, and even if all the country's tax revenue is sent to Liaodong, it will not be enough!

It's just that the military budget is insufficient, Liaodong is now like a vampire hungry ghost! The people of Liaoxi Jiangmen don't listen to their own calls at all, they only know how to ask for salaries and make trouble!

There was a mutiny in Shanhaiguan only two months ago, and the rebels cut down the governor with a knife......

In those days, the Jingshi was shocked every day, and everyone was rumored that the army of Shanhaiguan was about to turn its guns. Killing the city of Beijing is coming!

Later, he sent Wu Xiang to suppress it with kind words, and relieved 300,000 taels of silver from the treasury, so that he could quell the mutiny.

Inside, that's my private money! It's not money in the treasury, the treasury is empty now, and if you don't send internal money, I can't sit on the throne of the emperor!

Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse:

'Liaodong...... Liaodong. Why didn't God send down the fire of heaven and burn it all out! ‘

Chongzhen cursed in his mouth. I hated it in my heart, and my body trembled unconsciously.

'Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui...... You rebels and thieves, I can't wait to pick your skin! ‘

However, Chongzhen also knew that he was just scolding in his mouth, and the people of Liaoxi Jiangmen pulled the whole body-

Nazu Dashou. I have summoned him to Beijing again and again, and he dare not come!

But he didn't come, I didn't have any way!

The military salary did not dare to be in arrears, and even praised Zu Dashou's nephew Wu Sangui as a 'dragon in the army' with a clear conscience.

Phew, just Wu Sangui's virtue. Do you dare to call it a 'dragon in the army'?

Suddenly, Chongzhen smiled dumbly, only to feel a cool breath filling his mind.

By the way, I heard that Wu Sangui, who killed a thousand knives, actually became a eunuch, what a joy!

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more relieved he became, so he laughed.

laughed to the end, Chongzhen's eyes were full of tears!

Grandfather, father, brother, I am incompetent, and the state affairs have been so corrupted!

A little Wu Sangui, an ant-like figure, but I am afraid that the forces behind him will rebel, so I want to eat and drink well......

When Yuan Chonghuan was there, Liaoxi Jiangmen did not dare to make a mistake.

But as soon as Yuan Chonghuan died, these generals were all arrogant and domineering, just like a feudal town.

Did I really kill the wrong person?

Now there is no one in the DPRK and China who can balance the Liaoxi generals?

I didn't expect that in the two hundred years of the dynasty, in my hands, there would be a military general who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, which is really ashamed of the ancestors and the ancestors!

Woo woo - Chongzhen actually cried bitterly!

In front of the minister, he must maintain the image of a strong man. And these little eunuchs are their own henchmen, so they don't have to worry!

It's so tiring to be an emperor!

Why is it that my brother, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, can do his carpenter work every day, but I have an unfinished heart every day?

When I killed Wei Zhongxian, did I also kill the wrong person?

With Wei Zhongxian here, how dare Wenchen and military generals do this? ……

The cronies and eunuchs waiting on the side couldn't bear it, and came up and whispered:

'Long live Lord, it's late at night, it's time to rest! I can't sleep for a few hours, and tomorrow there will be a ceremony to pick up talents - the palace test! ‘

After a long time, Chongzhen stopped crying and said with a crying voice: 'Pick up the ceremony? Pick up a bullshit, isn't Zhou Yanru a gentle and benevolent character? I know the party struggle every day, in order to bring down the other party's flies! ‘

Chongzhen sighed and said to himself: "I am not the king of the dead country, the minister is the minister of the dead country!" Alas, the government is like this, what can I do? (To be continued......)
