The first wind and rain drifted away

In the sound of silk and bamboo drums, Emperor Chongzhen, who was very relieved, returned to the high platform seat and frequently persuaded his Taoist friends to enjoy the palace food.

Lu Xiangsheng sat below, writhing his ass a little uneasily, and had no intention of drinking.

He fought bloodily on the northwest front, beating the traitors to flee and scatter, but the Son of Heaven ordered him to return to Beijing quickly.

In a hurry, he handed over the military power to the adjutant general, and he hurried back to the capital this morning.

After washing, just take a nap at noon to relieve the pain of traveling, and then participate in the banquet of the Son of Heaven in the Wenhua Hall tonight.

Now seeing the high-spirited Emperor Chongzhen and the palace maids shuttling in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong.

Picking up the brightly colored porcelain bowl, facing more than ten exquisite dishes in front of the case, he found that he didn't know which dish to eat.

It seems to be a bit extravagant!

He finally noticed that something was wrong!

Looking up, in the blazing candle flame, the Wenhua Hall seems to be as bright as day.

The emperor on the high platform was wearing a brand-new military uniform, and the palace maids and eunuchs in front of him were also dressed in new clothes, with a happy smile on their faces.

Thinking of the previous emperor's bold words and ambitions, the three words of new atmosphere involuntarily came to mind.

He didn't come to the palace less, and he had a few separate meals with the emperor, and he knew very well what happened before.

Not to mention anything else, in his impression, the emperor always wears a tattered dragon robe, although it is something that others can't wear.

It seems that the emperor is rich, and it is not easy to increase the use of the palace!

It's like a poor man finally eating dumplings!

It's just that the emperor is really rich or is he swollen and fat?

If you look at the past, you want to come to the latter mostly, is that good?

Do you want to persuade or not?

But is it easy for the emperor to eat dumplings?

For a moment, he was a little undecided.

"Lu Aiqing, what's the matter? Why don't you hear it? ”

Lu Daoyou's position is very conspicuous, the first in the first row, Emperor Chongzhen on the high platform saw him fidgeting, and asked.

"Emperor Qi, Weichen has just returned from the front line, and he has eaten relatively rough with the soldiers, and now he is suddenly facing so many fine delicacies, and he is a little uncomfortable for a while.

I hope the emperor will forgive the sins! ”

Seeing the emperor's question, Lu Xiangsheng replied with a white and chubby round face.

Yo he, honest people also have a time to play with their hearts!

It's just that it's not very good, and people can see through it at a glance.

The main reason is that the expression on his face is not in place, and he lacks heat, compared with my Wen Aiqing, it is not a level, it is far behind!

You might as well tell the truth, and just say that I'm a bit extravagant.

Emperor Chongzhen secretly laughed in his heart that Lu Daoyou's performance was poor, but his face was very serious.

Honest man, it's better not to joke with him, it's easy to be more serious!

Emperor Chongzhen came to stand in front of Lu Xiangsheng's case with a wine glass, turned to face the Taoist friends, and said with a sad face:

"Recently, national affairs have become more and more difficult, and I can't sleep at night, and I often think deeply.

If a person arrives in that poor field, suffers infinite desolation, endures all the unwarranted chagrin, and touches the rice urn at night, there is no room for sleep.

When I got up early and looked at the kitchen, I was ashamed that there were no half-star fireworks, my wife was hungry and cold, and she was cold, but the porridge and rice were still difficult, how could there be any money left to sell wine?

There is even a kind of hate, relatives and friends have white eyes, shabby faces, even if they have Lingyun ambition, they are also extraordinarily consumed, how can they compete with others?

If an individual is like this, let alone the king of a country? ”

Emperor Chongzhen entered the play, thinking of the past and present lives, the two were forced to suffer, and he couldn't help but burst into tears without knowing it.

The desolate voice resounded in the hall, making the hearts of every Taoist friend heavy, as heavy as a thousand even.

Did the emperor say something wrong?

Naturally not!

Hasn't he lived like this in the past eight years?

Lu Xiangsheng even carried Emperor Chongzhen on his back, with tears in his eyes, and secretly slapped himself.

How is the emperor doing, don't you count it in your heart?

In the hall, you have to uncover the emperor's sad things, Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, you are really ashamed to be a minister!

"It is said that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

How vast are the heavens and the earth? How abundant is it? Where are the people billions of trillions? But in reality? ”

Emperor Chongzhen raised his voice abruptly, his tone was full of resentment, he looked up at the glazed tiles above the Wenhua Palace, and said to himself:

"The Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and it is still the world with the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River.

Workshops are everywhere, raw silk, iron, porcelain...... All of them are famous all over the world, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, Fujian...... of maritime merchants who get rich by trafficking goods, how can the benefits be dozens of times?

How much is his wealth more than 10 million? Have you ever handed over a tael of silver to the court? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!"

When it comes to taxes, there is a matter of the cabinet here, and the first assistant Wen Tiren knelt down to plead guilty with tears in his eyes.

"What's the matter with Caring for Qing?"

Emperor Chongzhen picked up Wen Tiren, pointed to the outside of the hall and shouted angrily: "The Ming Dynasty and the civil and military ministers share the world and give preferential treatment to scholars."

But what about them?

People are superficial, and there is little concern and understanding of the real situation in the Ming Dynasty, and they are struggling all day long, rowing their own little abacus.

In order to be scrupulous about their official status, for the sake of the so-called clean name, they can act without a lower limit.

If I say two sentences to them, it will be a strong admonition at every turn, or a begging return, which seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact it is a villain's behavior.

Their so-called resignation in the name of the Qing Dynasty is actually a wise move to protect themselves, not for the country and the people, but for the sake of recovery in the future.

Of course, it is good to say it verbally, when the situation is dark, traitors are in power, political disagreements, etc., in short, all the dirty water is poured out, and the basin is deducted on others.

I can't take it anymore! ”

Walking up to Lu Xiangsheng again, Emperor Chongzhen stared at him with tears in his eyes and said:

"Some time ago, I raided a group of courtiers and eunuchs, and got tens of millions of dollars, more than a year's tax payment from the national treasury.

Therefore, I have improved the use of the palace, so that you and I have this meal together today. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and he is ashamed to be a minister, please punish the emperor!"

Where could Lu Xiangsheng resist such a fierce attack of Emperor Chongzhen, prostrate on the ground and howl and cry.

"What sin is there for those who do not know!

Aiqing, please calm down and have a drink with me. Zhuqing, drink together, I wish Daming a prosperous day! ”

"I wish Daming a prosperous future!"

……

In the Wenhua Palace, all the Taoist friends shouted in unison.

It's just that there was crying in his voice, and he was moved by Emperor Chongzhen.
