Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, the specifications of the three hundred dishes, even in the hands of Emperor Wanli, he has never been so extravagant and wasteful! Zhu Youzhen's eyes were full of murder when he looked at the dishes!

This meal may be more expensive than the sum of the money he spent eating in his previous life and his entire life! This meal cost at least 10,000 taels of silver! Converted into soft sister coins in later generations, it is more than two million yuan! Where did he get more than 2 million yuan in his life?

Zhu Youzhen's inner world, no one can understand! He actually hated his queen a little, and the queen didn't understand him! Some hate Wang Chengen, who is loyal to him, because Wang Chengen doesn't understand him either, some hate himself, not some, but hate himself very much, he doesn't understand what he did in his previous life! He will put himself in a building that is about to collapse, and after being reborn, he will suffer more than in his previous life! In the previous life, he was still ignorant, but he knew that he was diligent and diligent! I hope that my own diligence and dedication will obey the destiny of heaven! In exchange for what? It is the shame of the people of the world, even when he died, he wrote a book to Li Zicheng, not to hurt my people! It is considered the biggest joke in the world, and people laugh at him for going crazy!

On the one hand, they use the people's money, and on the other hand, they keep increasing taxes!

There are endless salaries and salaries, but they have to continue to use this silver to slaughter the people who can't pay the money! But who knows, he can only take care of himself, the country has been paralyzed, and it doesn't take hundreds of millions of silver to raise tens of thousands of troops! It is all the local gentry who conceal and deceive their superiors and subordinates, and the warlords everywhere act arbitrarily! How did Jiannu be raised, he actually knows better than anyone else in his heart, the imperial court takes more than two-thirds of the tax revenue to the border every year, what is the result, the local generals who have been entrenched in Liaodong for a long time have formed a force that the imperial court can not shake, these people ask for money in the name of a cow's hair, and it is not enough to ask for money, but also use the power in their hands to constantly smuggle across the border, and continuously supplement the high-quality materials of the Ming Dynasty to the remote Jiannu! Jiannu is getting fatter and fatter, and these people are getting fatter and fatter, and when the country collapses, Jiannu is like breaking the piggy bank, just the money obtained from breaking through the Guanningjin defense line is enough to support their advance into the Central Plains and dominate the strategic supply of the world!

If you want to talk about the reasons for the demise of the country, there are at least a thousand, and none of them is enough to be fatal! Because almost all of them are incidental products of the feudal social system, and none of them are added temporarily! But so many factors combined, plus the Wanli Emperor and the Tianqi Emperor for nearly half a century, the emperor did not care about the country, and in the hands of his Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, with the arrival of the Xiaoice River, the Jiannu outside the pass became richer and richer! The whole Ming Dynasty is getting poorer and poorer, internal and external troubles, corrupt officials and people who are eager for food and clothing, all the contradictions erupt at the same time! finally made the building collapse with a bang, and it was no one else who demolished the building, Zhu Youzhen clearly knew that the initiators were his grandfather and brother!

Zhu Youzhen stared at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, he had no appetite at all, if he wanted to say that the king of the dead country was his grandfather and brother, why did he want to become the last emperor, how to save the country that was almost paralyzed? He scolded the two people he could trust the most in his heart, Queen Zhou and Wang Chengen! The difference in concepts, the difference in concepts, it is possible to make your wife the person you hate the most, Zhu Youzhen even hopes that Queen Zhou will suddenly fall ill and die! He himself didn't understand his own emotions, one moment, he was eager to see the queen, and the next, he sincerely hoped that he would never see the queen again! I even hope that I and Queen Zhou have never met again! He even found that he didn't understand feelings and never loved! It's hard to understand! There are thousands of emperors' women, but emperors who understand love and talk about love are rare in ancient and modern times!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's eyes were a little moist, he ate a mouthful of imperial food fed to his mouth by the eunuch with red eyes, the emperor did not eat vegetables, the emperor ate loneliness, especially Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen! What he hates most is not the Donglin Party, nor the Eunuch Party, not the Liaodong Jiangmen, nor the anti-people in Shaanxi and Sichuan, what he hates the most is Queen Zhou! How he wished there was a haven for his soul! After a hundred years of reincarnation, when he returned to the original point, he realized that maybe the beloved was not suitable! He always believes that whether you like it or not, whether it is suitable or not, whether you can be together or not, these are three irrelevant questions!

Yang Siqing, who was standing on the side waiting for the emperor, saw that the emperor was crying while eating, although the cry was silent, it was likely that the emperor himself didn't know that he was crying! Still scared half to death! If the emperor is not happy to eat, how many people will die with him? Since ancient times, people have fallen to the ground because of the emperor's meal, adding up to at least tens of millions!

"Go back to the study!" Zhu Youzhen took the wet wipes on the table, wiped his mouth, stood up, and said in a calm tone, no one knew that the emperor was unhappy, and Emperor Chongzhen had already recovered his usual cold look.

Yang Siqing asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I just ate two bites, can I use some more?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen glared at Yang Siqing, and strode towards the outside of the house, he didn't have time to be sad, he didn't have time to be lonely, he still had too many things to deal with! If God had allowed him to live to suffer and suffer, he would have chosen to compromise with life! Maybe it's his fate! "Where are you talking so much, go and pass the decree, let Lu Xiangsheng enter the palace to see you!"

"Yes." Yang Siqing's voice was softer, eunuchs are an ethnic group that is stranger than women, these people are very sensitive! Although the emperor didn't show anything, Yang Siqing's heart had already risen to his throat, and he knew that the emperor was angry! If you want to grow from a small eunuch to a big eunuch and be able to understand the minds of others, this is an introductory kung fu!

"Your Majesty, Empress Zhang donated 3,000 taels of silver to the internal treasury, do you want to accept it?" Yang Siqing is actually Zhu Youzhen's personal secretary now, and Wang Chengen is equivalent to an office director, so Yang Siqing has a lot of things to deal with every day.

The emperor who was walking, slightly stunned, reborn these days, he has not been to see Empress Zhang, Empress Zhang's name is Zhang Yan, she is his sister-in-law, the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Youzhen rarely had contact with Empress Zhang, but after a few short contacts, he had a good impression of this imperial sister-in-law! Knowledgeable, dignified and elegant, enough to have the temperament of the world! He watched TV series about himself in later generations, and there was a TV series that actually asked a coquettish ~ coquettish woman to play Queen Zhang, not to mention the dark-skinned one, even if it was that look, it made him almost smash the TV! "The queen's money is not generous, the difference is big money, and it is not bad for this little money, return it to Queen Zhang, and say something nice, don't hurt Queen Zhang's heart."

Thinking that he had eaten nearly tens of thousands of silver in just one meal, and now he heard that Empress Zhang was going to donate the thousands of taels of silver she had saved to the inner money, and then looked at the patches on her cuffs, Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly red, even if he wanted to indulge occasionally, it was so extravagant, and after indulgence, he seemed to be in a worse mood! It feels worse! Is he really a combination of an emperor and a toiling life?

Yang Siqing whispered, "But, long live Lord, Empress Zhang said that she has no place to use silver in the deep palace, saying that this silver is for the old slave to tell the emperor, and it is to let the emperor accept it no matter what, if the emperor doesn't want it, it means that the emperor looks down on her." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed secretly, most of the helplessness of being an emperor is like this, many helplessness, are such soft things, the emperor rarely encounters strong things, but such soft things are extremely helpless to deal with! "Do you want to ask me about such a trivial matter? What do you want to eat? ”

Yang Siqing was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask again, and accompanied the emperor to the study.

Zhu Youzhen, who was in a very bad mood, corrected the chaotic twists and turns, and said to the few eunuchs next to him who assisted the emperor in his office, "Did I let Cao Huachun choose all the scribes from the eunuchs in Dongchang in place?" ”

The eunuch replied, "If you return to the saint, it seems that Gonggong Cao and Gonggong Wang have selected a total of more than 500 people, and they are still being screened. I heard Gonggong Cao say that the emperor's will was to leave 300 people. ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted, "Let the two of them come to see me, and by the way, bring a few eunuchs who they think are the best!" Bring ten! ”

Cao Huachun was originally a eunuch of Bingbi, and he was very familiar with the handling of these things, and the emperor asked him and Wang Chengen to be jointly responsible, mainly to let Wang Chengen play a supervisory role! Selecting the ten best eunuchs is actually very simple for two people, eunuchs are not like officials outside, in fact, which is better and which is inferior, it is really clear at a glance! If you have higher ability and higher talent among eunuchs, it is actually easy to be discovered, and if you are a good person, there are actually many opportunities for reuse!

After Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun received the holy decree, they immediately brought ten eunuchs to meet the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen first briefly inquired about the relocation of the palace, and then asked about the selection of eunuchs, "One is to be educated, the second is to understand government affairs, and the third is to have experience. ”

Cao Huachun replied respectfully, "There are more than 500 people in Qiqi Sheng, and all the old slaves have been selected, in fact, most of the eunuchs in Dongchang are considered elite compared to the eunuchs in the palace. ”

Zhu Youzhen agrees with this, the overall cultural level of eunuchs is not high, and they are all from poor families, otherwise who would want to be eunuchs? But eunuchs are studious, especially if they want to climb up, some cultures are still very advantageous, so most of the old eunuchs are coarse and literate, and most of them are in the palace middle school. "Don't pick, keep them, don't be afraid of too many people, let them go to Huangzhuang for the elderly, and leave the rest behind."

Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Yes, Yiqiē is arranged by the emperor, but does it take so many eunuchs to deal with the copywriting?" ”

Wang Chengen glanced at Cao Huachun, this is a bold question! It's not like Cao Huachun's previous personality, in fact, Cao Huachun has also touched the vein of the little emperor, only the more positive and capable he is, the more he will be appreciated by the little emperor, this is an emperor who doesn't like to beat around the bush, and he is also working hard!

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "Let them all go out first, and you and Wang Chengen will stay." ”

A group of palace maids and eunuchs immediately rushed out, and the emperor and Cao Huachun, and Wang Chengen were left in the study.

"Keeping so many people, I'm afraid it's not enough, and then select clever and young eunuchs from the inner palace to come out and train, teach them to read, and teach them to participate in politics!" The emperor's words made Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun scared half to death, I don't know what the emperor wants to express, eunuchs are interfering in politics, this is an extremely sensitive topic! The emperor actually allowed eunuchs to participate in politics?
