"Your Majesty.. Why are you here.." After several days of serious illness, Zhou was always in a daze every day, and opened his eyes slightly to see Zhu Youzhen at the bedside.

I couldn't help but speak.

"I'm here to see my queen, what's the problem?!"

Nephrite was in his arms, and Zhu Youzhen could clearly feel the weakness of Zhou's body.

"Recently, the affairs in this palace will be handed over to Wang Chengen for a few days, and you can rest and recuperate in the palace. Don't worry about many things. ”

Zhou nodded, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was uncomfortable again.

"Have a good rest.. I'll see you again tomorrow."

When Zhou heard this, he seemed to want to see him off.

Zhu Youzhen was reluctant: "Lie down, I'm gone.."

...

As soon as he returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, Wang Chengen approached Zhu Youzhen's side and whispered: "Emperor.. Dongchang came to report that Jiading Bofu had been controlled. Everyone in the Zhou family has been grounded in the mansion.."

Zhu Youzhen sighed softly, today's Zhou Kui is not as arrogant as he was at the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

But there are already obvious signs, this kind of signs when he has not yet ascended the throne, Zhou Kui can still be a little restrained, but now there is no meaning of restraint.

I can't wait to let everyone around me know that he is Zhu Youzhen's father-in-law, his biggest relative today, and his father-in-law.

Isn't this openly picking up the lamp and going into the thatched house, looking for death?

This time to punish Zhou Kui, Zhu Youzhen had very complicated emotions, and he was even ready to blame himself when he learned the news that Zhou's serious illness had just recovered from his serious illness in his heart.

But if the trajectory of history is not deviated, Empress Zhou will still forgive herself, but she will intercede for her father.

Oh, yes.. As long as Zhou Kui does not commit the crime of betraying the country for glory this week, to put it bluntly, as long as he does not commit treason.

Zhu Youzhen has no way to deal with him many times, of course, Zhu Youzhen doesn't really want to kill Zhou Kui, after all, the current Zhou Kui has not done such a dirty thing.

What a dirty thing?

History has recorded that in the last years of Chongzhen, the imperial court lacked silver, and Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, was so poor that he drank porridge in the palace every day in order to save money, and the shell of Her Royal Highness Queen Zhou, and even personally sewed clothes to supplement state affairs, Zhu Youzhen called on court officials to donate money and materials at this time.

And Zhou Kui originally wanted to donate 10,000 taels of silver, but the stinginess in his bones actually hurt his flesh, and Zhu Youzhen, who was originally in history, thought that as long as Zhou Kui was willing to donate 10,000 taels, he would squeeze out another 10,000 taels from the internal money, and he would be able to claim that his abbot donated 20,000 taels of silver.

However, Zhou Kui's stinginess once again exceeded Zhu Youzhen's imagination, and when the donation began, he, the national father-in-law, took the lead in crying poverty.

Not only that, but also ran to Queen Zhou to cry poor, Queen Zhou had no way to face her rogue father, and the already poor Queen Zhou took her gold and silver jewelry worth 5,000 taels and gave it to Zhou Kui, asking him to take the lead to help Emperor Chongzhen.

And what about Zhou Kui?

This Jia Dingbo even had to start with this silver.

5,000 taels to his own hands, he even greedy 2,000 taels, and finally donated 3,000 taels crying.

Seeing this, other officials followed suit, and for a time all the officials in the capital began to avoid riding carriages, but went to the court on foot, and Zhou Kui even wore patched official robes when he went to the court in order to show the feeling of poverty.

.. What will happen to such a Zhou Kui?

When Zhu Youzhen hanged the coal mountain, the Ming Dynasty collapsed in situ, and his daughter committed suicide in the palace, Zhou Kui was like an iron-blooded heart, thinking only about how to protect his family property.

But he didn't think about it, the courier surnamed Li didn't give him this opportunity, and the chaotic people of Dashun dragged the former emperor out like a dead dog.

tortured for several nights, and obtained three million taels of silver.

Later, there were even more ruthless people, and then tortured Zhou Kui, his wife and son were killed, and finally tortured the whereabouts of 1 million taels.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, it didn't take long for the person to die...

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to let the imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty get fatter and fatter under his nose and become a rat that eroded the country.

When the building was about to collapse, Zhou Kui was greedy for money.

If it is not controlled now, it will not be beaten, and once it is violated in the future, Zhu Youzhen... And how to explain to Queen Zhou that she ordered to kill her father?

.. A few days later.

When Wei Zhongxian found Zhu Youzhen with the results of the joint investigation of the Criminal Department and Dongchang.

Zhu Youzhen, who looked indifferent, seemed to have already guessed everything, but said lightly: "My national abbot will stay alive, as for Zhou Dingyuan..." White Aya gives death.. It's also the last explanation I gave to Jiadingbo's Mansion..."

He gave the younger son to death and kept the eldest son.

The Zhou family will not cut off the incense, and as soon as Zhou Dingyuan dies, it can be regarded as a conclusion on this matter.

Zhu Youzhen is reluctant to delve into it, and more importantly, there are many affairs in the Ming Dynasty at the moment, and he really has no time...

.. In Beijing, there are many voices.

The news that the second son of the Zhou family was given death by the emperor was published in the Jingshi Daily.

"Good! The emperor is sage, the emperor is sage! ”

Many people cheered for this, but Zhu Youzhen's mood was very heavy.

And at the gate of Jingshi, more important news has arrived...

"Your Majesty . . . Liaodong secret report, Jinzhou City has been broken! ”

"What? Mao Wenlong knocked down Jinzhou? Zhu Youzhen sat up from the chair in the Dongnuan Pavilion and looked at Wei Zhongxian in front of him in disbelief.

"The newspaper of the East Factory.. There will be no fake, but the old slave doesn't understand, why does Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army have the strength to take Jinzhou City? ”

Saying that, Wei Zhongxian handed over the secret report in his hand to Zhu Youzhen, after all, he could only know a rough idea.

What did Mao Wenlong and Zhu Youzhen say.

It can only be seen in the secret report.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to take it over, and after opening it: "Your Majesty!" Phi Dao Dongjiang Army defeated one of the Houjin thieves Duoduo at the end of May of the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, conquered Jinzhou City, and killed more than 20,000 enemy troops of Houjin, Manchu and Han Dynasty, because the sword has no eyes, and the artillery is excessive, so there are no Houjin captives to survive during this period, and Duoduo, the head of the Houjin thief, led more than 10,000 Eight Banner thieves to flee in the direction of Gaizhou.. Wechen is afraid that there will be fraud in it.. Therefore, they did not pursue, and stationed in Jinzhou.."

"Good! Mao Wenlong: This is another great achievement! ”

However, as soon as the words came out, Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian with some doubts: "Do you know where the Heavenly Tiger Army on the Western Front has arrived now, why hasn't there been any news of them for a long time..."

Wei Zhongxian's face froze, and he said, "Back to Your Majesty.. According to the intelligence of the East Factory, the battle on the Western Front was not going well. The Mongols took advantage of the flexibility of the cavalry and constantly attacked the infantry phalanx of our Tianhu army in a roundabout way.. Lord Bi Zisu is trying to figure out a way.."
