"Miss Miaoyun!"

"Your Excellency, your behavior like this is really confused."

"Today's monarch, even if there are some who are not, but what has become so bad in the Ming Kingdom is those civilian groups, especially the Donglin Party."

"What they say on their lips is that they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but behind the scenes, they are forming a party for personal gain and opposing the monarch. They also worked with the big businessmen of the Ming Kingdom to reduce the mining tax, the commercial tax, support the enclosure, what scholars do not pay taxes, etc., all for their own interests, but they don't know that doing so will make the Ming Kingdom poorer and poorer. ”

"You only know that the imperial court has been defeated again and again, and a large amount of land and cities have been lost, but how can you ever know that the current monarch openly collects donations in the court in order to raise military salaries, but no one responds positively, but is still secretly doing evil everywhere."

"Today's imperial court is so poor that it doesn't even have the money to recruit troops and buy horses, and to distribute military salaries and food."

"You've also seen the king, look at him, he's only in his thirties, but his hair is gray in order to manage state affairs."

"It's not easy for him."

Zhang Rui said passionately.

These are his righteous words, and every word comes from the heart.

"You?!"

"Don't talk nonsense here, do you think I'll believe so many crooked truths? How to say, he is also the monarch of the Ming Kingdom, and he also used great courage to get rid of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. ”

"Now you say that he is subject to the civilian clique, I don't believe it."

"You're trying to fool me, but there's no door."

Shi Miaoyun on the side retorted very stubbornly.

"Miss Miaoyun, I pleaded for you just now, firstly, because of my love for you, and secondly, because I know that you are also a loyal and patriotic person, and I admire your personality."

"What you did today is just because you are patriotic and hate iron but not steel, but I also want to advise you that if you are really patriotic, you should use the right method."

"No one is perfect, our monarch is also a good monarch with great ambitions, but there is no one around him to help him."

"Now the thief Li Zicheng is going east to conquer [Shuntian City], intending to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and change the dynasty, but he will not succeed, our neighbors are not vegetarians, I heard that Jiannu and the Mongolian Getl Khan have reached a coalition to conquer the Ming Dynasty together. There are also the Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, which also look down on the fertile land of our Ming Kingdom. ”

"Do you think with Li Zicheng's strength, you can stop these jackals, tigers and leopards?"

"Once the Ming Kingdom is destroyed, the people of the Ming Kingdom will become slaves of the country, at the mercy of other countries, slaughtered, enslaved, and live a life without dignity."

"Is this what you are trying to do?"

Zhang Rui said.

"Zhang Rui, what you said is so high-sounding, aren't you also protecting Daming for your so-called glory and wealth?" Shi Miaoyun had to admit that Zhang Rui's words made a lot of sense, and it was indeed what she thought simply.

Now at this delicate moment, once Chongzhen, the dog faints, dies, it is not others who are cheap, but those enemies of the Ming Kingdom.

For example, she received information that Li Shimin, the Qin king of the Tang Kingdom, had stationed troops on the border of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and her intention was self-evident.

Liu Yu, the general of the Great Song Dynasty's expedition to the north, was not idle, and hundreds of thousands of elite sailors of the Great Song Dynasty were stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and there was a possibility of moving north at any time.

As for the Jiannu Emperor Taiji and the Mongolian Gatl Department, there is no need to inquire, the heart of these alien races to destroy our Central Plains has never been extinguished.

(Dang Zhu)

"You're right, I do have selfish intentions. My father is the British Duke of the Ming Kingdom, and I will also be the Duke of the Small Kingdom in the future. Once the Ming Kingdom is gone, then the glory and wealth I have now will be gone, and even my life may not be saved. ”

Zhang Rui generously admitted.

"You?"

Shi Miaoyun on the side didn't expect Zhang Rui to admit it so openly and justifiably, which surprised her.

also looked at Zhang Rui differently.

"Miss Miaoyun, you don't have to be so surprised, what I said is just human nature, and anyone else would think like this."

Zhang Rui said.

"No, you're honest, at least not hypocritical."

Shi Miaoyun shook her head and said, this is her true words.

There are too many hypocritical people in this world.

The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.

Da!

Da!

Da!

This group of guards escorted the prisoner cart forward the whole time, and when they were about to reach the outside of the prison, the two guards who followed the prisoner cart suddenly stopped.

After that, they watched as the prison cart entered the prison.

"Your Majesty, you see what I said, Zhang Rui can't have anything to do with this demon girl, he won't do anything to your lord. At that time, the minion saw him desperately saving the driver, and there would be no fake. Now it seems that behind this demon girl, there is another person. ”

One of the guards said to the other.

No one would have thought that these two guards were actually pretending to be Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, and their purpose was to listen to the conversation between Zhang Rui and Shi Miaoyun.

"Alas!"

"It seems that the widow wronged Zhang Rui, this bastard boy."

"Yes."

"Shi Miaoyun has been hiding in Wanhua Pavilion for several years, how could he have thought of such a long-term plan."

"He's still tender."

"The Ming Kingdom is here, and the glory and wealth of these nobles will continue, otherwise, their lives may not be guaranteed."

"A childish person can understand the truth, why can't those meritorious officers understand? They are stingy in every way now, is it possible that the Ming Dynasty is dead, and if they change to a new dynasty, can they have good fruits to eat? ”

"They're naïve."

"Wang Chengen, you go and tell the prison guards of the prison, don't treat Zhang Rui badly, let him live here tonight, it should be a small punishment, let him go back to work tomorrow, tell him that Shi Miaoyun is not suitable for him, another day, the widow will promise him a good family business."

Chongzhen instructed.

"Okay, the slave is thanking the master Longen for Zhang Rui, a bastard boy."

Wang Chengen said.

"Wang Chengen, why have you been speaking for Zhang Rui all night, is it possible that you have accepted his benefits." Chongzhen has always liked to be suspicious, and now seeing Wang Chengen sparing no effort to say please to Zhang Rui, he can't help but be suspicious.

"Your Majesty, the slave just thinks that Zhang Rui, this bastard boy, is real, sincere, and not hypocritical as the demon girl said just now. He is a good boy, with a pure heart, as long as he can be cultivated, in the future, he will definitely be born and died for the king. ”

Wang Chengen said with a humble face.

"Yes."

"You tell him, don't spread the word about the widow in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion tonight, or the widow will beat his ass."

"Also, tell Chen Jinnan not to torture Shi Miaoyun for the time being."

Chongzhen said.

"No!"

Wang Chengen on the side said very respectfully.

He has a special understanding of Chongzhen's temperament, and the latter said this, which already shows that this gentleman has a lot of trust in Zhang Rui in his heart.

This bastard boy can be regarded as a blessing in disguise this time, sitting in prison for one night, but he can get the favor of the Holy Grace, which is worth it.

Afterwards.

He trotted to the heavenly prison to find Lord Feng of the Prison Guards Division, passed on Chongzhen's will, and at the same time, asked Lord Feng to keep the matter strictly secret, so that no one could know the news that Zhang Rui and Shi Miaoyun were in prison.

Also, they have to take good care of Zhang Rui, and they can't let him suffer a trace of grievances, otherwise, they will also be bullying the king.

As for Shi Miaoyun, he will be taken away by Jinyi Wei tomorrow, and tonight is to ensure his safety.

"Manager Wang, don't worry, you will definitely complete the task."

Master Feng said.
