Zhou Lu is now very confident and unhappy.

Self-confidence is due to the fact that last night made up the history after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a good idea of how to deal with it, of course, this also has the indirect experience provided by the memory bank in "a glance for thousands of years".

is unhappy, because after seeing Emperor Chongzhen's hanging, many court officials and ministers did it.

Angry!

It is the anger of the court officials, and it is also the anger of Chongzhen.

Most court officials do their best to serve the country and the people, but only know how to fill their own pockets and be selfish.

As the emperor, his eyes were especially confused by Gou Xiang, he didn't know how to appoint virtuous ministers, and he was led around by traitorous ministers, and he was reduced to the end of hanging.

Imperial Palace.

It is the most familiar place for courtiers to discuss the politics of the imperial palace.

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen was diligent in the previous dynasty, rarely broke off the early dynasty, and always relied on and attached great importance to the opinions of the ministers of the early dynasty.

Baiguan is also quite confident in this aspect.

The ministers who can speak well and know how to vote for the emperor's favor, sometimes, they even feel that they are the masters of the Emperor's Palace, because from the general trend, they are leading the emperor and indirectly leading the operation and direction of the country.

At this point,

The Imperial Palace began to be lively.

Footsteps followed.

The neatly dressed officials entered the Imperial Palace and worshiped the emperor as usual.

Then began today's court meeting.

Zhou Lu sat on the dragon chair, not paying attention to the hundred officials, but to his own feelings.

For being an emperor, for the upper dynasty, I have only seen it on TV before.

Experiencing it for myself, it feels completely different.

In the face of the ministers' bowing and worshipping, the feeling of the whole country in the hands of one person is real.

This feeling seems to be quite interesting and coquettish.

No wonder many people want to be emperors.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

Thousands of civilians, looking forward to a Ming monarch, looking forward to a good dynasty, is it easy to live in peace?

It's not easy.

If the dynasty changes, it will definitely be a misery for the lives of the people and a disaster for the common people.

Civilians have to contribute money and taxes, and they have to send their sons to the battlefield to grind meat, but in the end, what can the vast majority of civilians get?

The country belongs to the emperor, the privileges are bureaucratic, and the commoners who give everything continue to be exploited and oppressed.

So for civilians, a stable regime is important, a peaceful world is important.

In contrast, Zhou Lu felt that the peaceful world in the later generations was quite happy, but it was a pity that the aura in the later generations was also revived, the balance of power was broken, the undercurrents of the whole world were surging, and all kinds of powerful forces were emerging, and there would inevitably be earth-shaking chaos.

And he traveled to the Ming Dynasty to be the emperor, and he didn't know when he would be able to go back.

Sister Xuan's life is in danger, no matter what, she has to find the Jianmu fruit and bring it back.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

The voice of Wang Chengen, who was standing next to him, came.

Zhou Lu withdrew from his thoughts, took off the cigar in his mouth, turned his gaze to Wang Chengen, and asked casually: "What's the matter?" “

Yes, cigars.

A large box of Cuban cigars sent by Qi Lao, I usually don't smoke much, and today I was bored sitting in the dragon chair, so I took one out and smoked it.

In the system storage space, in addition to cigars, there are also your favorite cokes, as well as some small daily items.

I knew that the Dayu waterway was going to travel to ancient times, and I must have brought more modern items, for example, 47, 60?

Wang Chengen's expression was slightly cramped.

The co-authors said so many things, and the emperor didn't hear a word?

He reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen, Shoufu Wei Zaode, etc., jointly played, worried that there is no one in the harem to serve Your Majesty, and advise Your Majesty to think about the future generations of Sheji, and accept a concubine as soon as possible, Wei Shoufu has a daughter, who is thirteen years old, and may Your Majesty be included in the palace." Several other ministers were willing to offer their daughters, or the daughters of their kinsmen. ”

"Oh what, thirteen, isn't it?"

Zhou Lu was a little surprised.

Little Lori, who is only one or two years older than Sheng Yanran, why does she want to marry herself?

Three years of blood earning, the death penalty is not lost?

No, Lao Tzu is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and what he says is the law, who dares to sentence!

"Your Majesty, thirteen years old, a little younger, but it is also a marriageable age." Wang Chengen said.

In this era, the age at which women marry is indeed on the young side.

Little Lori married home, and played from childhood to adulthood, which may be quite interesting

No, I'm not that kind of person.

Zhou Lu's heart was bright, the harem was dead, and the minister took advantage of the moment to establish a close relationship with the emperor with his daughter and become a relative of the emperor.

The excuse is high-sounding, saying that he is thinking about the society for thousands of generations, as if he is really thinking about the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

The court is full of literati, and their mouths are really good at speaking.

When Lao Tzu got the Jianmu fruit, he had to find a way to go back and take a woolen concubine, how could he be free?

And before going back, you can't leave a mess, hide the mission, ask for the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty, and now the internal and external troubles have not been solved.

Zhou Lu was not at all interested in the scheming courtier's suggestion of a concubine, and asked again: "Is there anything else?" “

Wang Chengen said: "The Hanlin Academy reviewed Yang Shicong, former first assistant Chen Yan, etc., and jointly signed a petition to strengthen the peasant tax to supplement the national treasury and solve the problem of lack of military salaries. ”

Mentally retarded with paralysis!

Zhou Lu had to scold the street.

Many peasants have rebelled because they can't eat, so why do you even raise taxes, aren't you forcing more people to rebel?

With such persecution, there will inevitably be more Li Zicheng.

These two people are either mentally retarded, or they wish that Daming would die soon.

Last night I learned from studying the historical materials of the afterlife.

Chen Yan resigned from Shoufu a few days ago, but he couldn't move away because he had too much silver, and he didn't want to leave empty-handed, so he stayed in the capital, and then surrendered to Dashun, in order to survive and show loyalty, he contributed more than 100,000 taels of silver, and persuaded Li Zicheng to ascend the throne.

Zhu Chunchen, a relative of the emperor, was trusted by Chongzhen, but when Chongzhen needed it most, he didn't care about it, and after surrendering Dashun, he also took the initiative to donate a large amount of silver and persuaded Li Zicheng to ascend the throne.

Wei Zaode, the current first assistant, usually shouts poverty, opposes Chongzhen's collection of donations from ministers, and surrenders to Dashun, but he can donate tens of thousands of silver taels.

Yang Shicong and many others are also full of bad deeds.

What a lot of traitors!

You can't play in front of Lao Tzu.

Zhou Lu smiled: "Strengthen taxation? I have just issued an edict announcing that the peasants of the whole country will be exempted from all taxes for ten years. ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar.

"Ah, tax exemption for ten years? Did the old man hear it wrong? Zhu Chunchen asked others.

"That's right, that's what the emperor said."

"Never!"

"Yes, by all means, the treasury has no extra money, and there are still a lot of military salaries, if the peasants are not taxed, the income will be sharply reduced, the court will spend, the military salaries, etc."

"Your Majesty, you must not do this, the old minister asks Your Majesty to take back your order."

It's time to perform.

Hundreds of officials gave well-intentioned and opposed from all angles, citing scriptures and classics.
