Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, "Are you satisfied like this?" I am not satisfied, I tell you, I am not satisfied! The official system should move closer to the people at the bottom, so that the people have enough power to participate in politics and discuss political power, so that everyone can live in a society where they can clearly understand how the country is going and where it has come, this is my ideal, I don't want my people to live in a confused life, and they can only be the fish and meat of corrupt officials and the pawns of the extravagant life of the corrupt court. ”

Zheng Yuelin stared at the extremely handsome emperor, looking at the emperor's resolute look, knowing that it was useless to persuade again.

Zheng Yuelin sighed slightly, "But, Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" If the people really do what the emperor said, this will shake the foundation of the country, is it true that the major affairs of the country are decided by the people and the whole people? After that, don't do anything, it's enough for officials to just receive petitions from the people. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's brows furrowed slightly, this is indeed a very philosophical question! "It's called a constitutional monarchy! The constitutional monarchy represents the progress of this era, why should I make the Ming Dynasty the only country on earth? I just want to let this world reach this idealized process in my lifetime, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can have the whole world, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty can be rich and happy to live, if there is only one country in this world, there is no need to develop the military, and the emperor will become a symbol of supreme authority, and can return most of the power to the people, so that the people can manage their own lives and their own society. Such. Everyone is equal. Only in the world can we really be peaceful. Yuelin, do you understand? ”

Zheng Yuelin was shocked, this was the first time she had heard the emperor talk about the future development direction of the Ming Dynasty, which swept away the dark clouds in Zheng Yuelin's heart, "Your Majesty, your ambition is too great, and the concubines are too close and too small." In fact, the concubines were not very in favor of the Ming Dynasty in such a powerful situation, and the emperor would continue to launch military expansion. But, have you thought about it, Your Majesty? We have only fought a small Japan, and we have already paid more than half of the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, although Japan no longer exists, and is now called the Miscellaneous Island Province, but Japan's affairs will remain in the hearts of the monarchs and people of all countries, can we really conquer the world by force? ”

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not really want to follow the side of constitutional monarchy and decentralization, what he wanted was for the people to be more lively. More open up the wisdom of the people, Emperor Chongzhen felt that this was the general direction. No matter what stage of the country's development, this point can never be changed, it is impossible to make the country strong, and then continue to maintain the rule of feudal society, it is unrealistic, take the road of the monarch's power overriding everything, you can also take the constitutional!

Emperor Chongzhen believed that the two did not conflict.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Yuelin, as long as you really develop in the direction of the constitutional monarchy I said, when the time comes, the power of the constitutional monarchy will be seen by you!" Now that the population of our Daming has accounted for more than one-third of this world, everything is possible. ”

Zheng Yuelin smiled and nodded, "Okay, the emperor, the concubines are all clear now, the concubines will constantly adjust their policies according to the emperor's ideas, but, Your Majesty, if the direction of your efforts is to share your power with the people, is this really good?" What emperor would have come up with such a strange idea? Emperors want their power to grow, and you're probably the first to want your power to shrink. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "So, I have neither talent nor luck, but I will eventually become the greatest emperor in history, and the Ming Dynasty will become the only empire in this world!" ”

Zheng Yuelin sat in the arms of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, Zheng Yuelin is still the original Zheng Yuelin, although she is almost thirty years old, she is still generous, sometimes delicate and cute, not at all like when she was in charge of the Central Council, "Your Majesty, the concubine really wants to go to the place with you, the concubine thinks, two years, if the two years of time, the concubine can be with the emperor, how beautiful it will be?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's nose was sour, and he experienced Zheng Yuelin's hard work, indeed, it is very cruel to let women govern, women are different from men after all, women are not as thick as men, women's hearts are more detailed, and they can bear more than men.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gently stroked Zheng Yuelin's back, "I have lost too much of you, since the seventh year of Chongzhen, most of the burden of the entire country has been on your shoulders, you are my real virtuous helper, I just give you a queen, and I can't express my heart." ”

Zheng Yuelin smiled and shook her head, "The concubine doesn't feel that the emperor has lost the concubine at all, the concubine is not hard, the emperor is the hardest to run all day, and the concubine should not be a queen, the concubine is now at the top of the concubine, and she is the emperor's assistant, she is already very uneasy, the emperor, do you know?" Some people have already said that the concubine is Wu Zetian. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled, if he didn't know Zheng Yuelin very well, there was indeed such a possibility, if he suddenly died of a violent illness, Zheng Yuelin could indeed quickly control the entire country, "I'm not afraid that you will become Wu Zetian, didn't I say it just now?" As long as the people can live a good life, I am willing to let you become Wu Zetian, and I believe that with your mind, after mastering the Ming Dynasty, you will not abolish the descendants of the surname Zhu, as long as the country continues to develop in a good direction and history does not regress, what is wrong with Wu Zetian? ”

Zheng Yuelin looked at the emperor and was shocked, she really realized that the constitutional monarchy that the emperor just told her was not empty talk, it was really a lofty ideal of the emperor! Because no one persecuted the emperor, this is not a change brought about by society itself, this is a change initiated by the emperor himself, a change carried out in a stable situation, what perseverance and courage it takes.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at Zheng Yuelin and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Why didn't you speak all of a sudden? ”

Zheng Yuelin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine will not become Wu Zetian, and she will not let anything stop the concubine from helping the emperor realize his ideals, the concubine has thought about it." It really came to that day. It's pretty good, too. The concubines can also rest, the emperor only needs to hold the military power and completely hand over the power to the people, the world will always be peaceful, and the emperor can accompany the concubines more. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen scratched Zheng Yuelin's nose and kissed Zheng Yuelin's pink lips, "You are really my virtuous helper, that day will not be too long." I believe that before Chongzhen fifteen years ago, it will definitely be realized! ”

Zheng Yuelin felt that the emperor was a little idealized again, and Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, actually had no bottom in his heart, after all, it was something that did not happen, although he knew how much energy the constitutional monarchy had for the transformation of the old feudal system! But in his own hands, can he really do it well? I still need to work hard!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen traveled, only taking Empress Zhang and Concubine Zhang Huiyi, as well as Gao Dewei, Yang Qicong and more than 20 armed eunuchs in Xichang.

in Japan. More than 40 armed eunuchs in Xichang died, which made Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen very distressed. These more than 70 armed eunuchs in Xichang have been following him for many years, and most of them are about the same age as the emperor, and Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen has already regarded them as friends in his heart.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen from the time of Chongzhen three years ago, has abandoned the eunuch this inhumane system, there are no eunuchs in the palace now, the previous eunuchs have been sent to the Huangzhuang, everyone has their own land, salary, and a perfect pension system, now the palace is all female officials, the number has also been greatly reduced, such as the queen level, but only eight female officials, four concubines, two concubines, the other concubines have only one female official, after the emperor issued an edict to no longer add concubines for life, In the future, the number of female officials in the palace will decrease, and the goal of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is to control the number of people in the palace within 1,000. This is already the minimum for such a large imperial palace as the Ming Empire.

For the emperor to bring himself, this made Zhang Huiyi very happy.

Before Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen left, he stayed with Empress Zhou, Yuan Guifei, Tian Guifei, and dozens of concubines for a few days, and they were delayed for more than a month before leaving.

Especially Empress Zhou, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen deliberately accompanied Zhou Keer for many days, and after several favors, this made Empress Zhou's mood better, the emperor still loves his Empress Zhou after all, and Zhou Keer also has her own demeanor as the head of women in the world. Although Empress Zhou doesn't like the matter of the emperor and Zhang Yan, but the matter has come to this point, she is still happy for the emperor, after all, Empress Zhou's world is only Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen alone, the emperor is happy, she is naturally happy.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knew that his character was still too indecisive, so he didn't dare to focus on the palace, otherwise, he was afraid of snubbing which of his wives, then don't do anything!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen originally wanted to go to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass to see Concubine Su Tai and Concubine Namu Zhong and other Mongolian concubines, thinking of Su Tai's hot kung fu and Namu Zhong's stunning face, he dispelled his thoughts again, knowing that if he ran into Su Tai, he would not do anything for half a month.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's first stop was to take an armed helicopter to Shandong, and after a few days in Shandong, he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the trip was faster and smoother than Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen thought.

The situation in Shandong has greatly improved, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and there are no more remnants of the church, because too many people in Shandong were killed at the beginning, and now almost all of them are foreigners, and all the people they speak are the official dialect of the north! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied with Zheng Yuelin's rule, especially after arriving at the place! Now the whole north speaks the official language, China is too big, if Mandarin is completely popularized in the Ming Dynasty, the driving force for the development of the Ming Dynasty is also invisible, and it is powerful.

After Shandong, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen went down to the south of the Yangtze River again! The news that the emperor is coming has spread all over the Ming Dynasty! Undoubtedly, there is nothing more intimidating than the presence of the Emperor himself! The emperor personally walked around, more than 10,000 holy decrees worked, the local officials were so frightened that they worked all day long, for fear of some negligence, desperately whitewashed the local economy, whitewashed the local environment, and the criminal officials were busy checking and filling in the gaps, to see if there was any buttocks that had not been wiped clean.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen: "Dewei, how many years have you been by my side?" ”

Gao Dewei said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, it's been ten years." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly: "You relax, you are now the chief of the inspection department, why are you more cautious than at the beginning?" It's just like when I first left the palace. ”

Gao Dewei thought that the emperor was only eighteen years old back then, and his young spirit was high-spirited, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Weichen is in his forties, but the emperor is still in his prime." Wechen is not restrained, Wechen is by the emperor's side, it's like this, it's not easy to change if you want to. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly: "Whatever you want, you can live comfortably." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen always held Zhang Yan's hand, Zhang Yan was used to it, it seemed that the emperor was reluctant to let go for a moment except when he was not by her side, which made Zhang Yan sweet and a little troubled, she was used to living alone, but she didn't expect that after all, she still got happiness, and this happiness was as big as the sky, and it also caused a little pressure on her for no reason.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gently pinched Zhang Yan's pink hand, looked at Zhang Huiyi, and also held Zhang Huiyi's hand, "Huiyi, your home is from Jiangnan, right?" I still remember the first time you met me, you watched the drums in the palace, and you scolded me. ”

Zhang Huiyi said with a smile: "At that time, the concubines were not very good at speaking official words, and the emperor at that time had a big temper, and later, he was still ......."

Zhang Yan heard Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Huiyi chatting, and became interested, "Sister, what happened later?" ”

In fact, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen originally just wanted to take Zhang Yan alone, but he was afraid that Zhang Yan would be lonely, among the four noble concubines, Zheng Yuelin could certainly get along with Zhang Yan very well, but Zheng Yuelin was busy with state affairs, she definitely couldn't leave, and there was no way to go out on patrol, and the qualifications of Yuan Guifei and Tian Guifei were there, and there was a little friction with Zhang Yan before, so Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't take them, and finally chose the gentle Zhang Huiyi, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen not only liked Zhang Huiyi very much, also believed that Zhang Huiyi could get along well with Zhang Yan, so he chose Zhang Yan and Zhang Huiyi to accompany him on the tour.
