Chapter 4: I've Been to This Place

Seeing the surprise on the faces of Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen, Wang Jinlong knew that he had to explain again.

Alas! There is no way, the emperor is the master of the world, and if the emperor wants to ask, he must answer truthfully, otherwise he will be guilty of defrauding the king.

In addition, if you want to do great things, you must be an official in the court, and if you want to do great things, you must gain the trust of the emperor, and you can't do anything without the support of the emperor.

With his own ability, Wang Jinlong felt that he could definitely and immediately establish a good relationship with Emperor Chongzhen, because he helped Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen was not a fool.

This is also the reason why Wang Jinlong told Zhu Youzhen the truth about his history.

Wang Jinlong believes that the current Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has looked at him differently, as long as the Chongzhen Emperor believes in him, everything will be easy to do in the future, he can realize his ambitions, at that time, he can really do Dapeng one day with the wind, soaring up to 90,000 miles.

Of course, Wang Jinlong also knew that now only he could save this broken dynasty, and there was no second person.

For this day, Wang Jinlong has been sticking to it, and he believes that there will be this opportunity.

As for why he wanted to save this ruined dynasty, it was based on his knowledge of history.

The most basic reason is that he doesn't want to see another ethnic minority dominate China.

Throughout thousands of years of history, the Chinese nation has been half prosperous and half humiliated.

The Huns, Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols have all plundered the Huaxia, and now, the Tungusic people have a crooked idea again, wanting to occupy the Huahua world of the Huahua.

Of course, after this minority ruled China, it quickly disappeared into the vastness of China, disappeared from itself, became a member of China, and they forgot their own language, forgot their own writing.

This fusion demonstrates the strong cultural influence of China, which no other nation in the world has the ability to do.

But this does not mean that Wang Jinlong is in favor of the new integration formed by the invasion, because that is the shame of the Chinese people, and that is the pain of the Chinese nation.

In Wang Jinlong's view, Huaxia is Huaxia, the Chinese nation is the best nation in the world, it is the excellence of the Chinese nation, the ancient nation of China has not disappeared in the long river of history, a backward, barbaric and uncivilized nation wants to control China, that is a rotten toad wants to eat swan meat, but there is no reason.

In fact, history is really like that, due to the ignorant rule of the rat's tail, China, the most developed and advanced nation in the world, was once bullied by the great powers, and the history of being called the sick man of East Asia is truly recorded in history.

Not only Wang Jinlong, but also many people in Wang Jinlong's era also hold this view, and even some people with paranoid personalities want to use the same method to pay tribute to those who have hurt Huaxia.

As for Li Zicheng, Wang Jinlong really didn't look at it, in his opinion, Li Zicheng is at best a small man who has no hero and makes the erector famous, Li Zicheng can smash this world to pieces, but he has no ability to recreate a new world full of vitality, to put it mildly, Li Zicheng is like those old hats in later generations who made a fortune because of occasional opportunities, and finally became poor because of money, because he was short of necessary things.

Rich historical knowledge supports Wang Jinlong's belief, he knows where the problems of this era are, he thinks he has the ability to solve this problem, even if he can't innovate, but he knows many advanced practices in later generations, and it is undoubtedly innovative to transfer the ready-made practices of later generations.

Since waking up in that bandit cottage a year ago, Wang Jinlong has been waiting for an opportunity that will allow him to emerge and realize his ambitions.

His ideal was to hold the country of the Chinese people, and after destroying Li Zicheng and the Jurchens, he promoted the science and technology and advanced social system that he could.

Of course, it's a great project, and he doesn't necessarily get it done, but at least he tried.

This is his greatest personal dream and value.

When Li Zicheng attacked all the way north, Wang Jinlong knew that his opportunity had come.

Zhou Yuji is a big hero and must be saved.

When Zhou Yuji woke up in the cottage, Wang Jinlong knew that he could already get out of the cottage.

Not only does he want to leave this cottage forever, but he also wants to take the brothers who used to live with him out of the cottage, and he wants to give his siblings a new life and make them respectable and useful people.

Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen's faces showed many questions, waiting for Wang Jinlong to answer.

However, Wang Jinlong said another paragraph, "Your Majesty, the old king is too disagreeable, the grass people are not far away, all the way to deliver the letter, met, this guy didn't even ask a word to eat, after reading the letter, he directly brought the grass people to the palace, to be honest, this morning, the grass people just lay down by the river and drank a few sips of cold water, casually gnawed a dry bun, and at noon they bought a baked cake on the street to eat, in order to wait for the old Wang, the grass people waited for five or six hours at the door of his house, and now they have no strength to speak." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that Wang Jinlong asked him for food, but he was also very moved in his heart, after all, Wang Jinlong wanted to send him the letter as soon as possible, and this letter was too important.

"Cheng'en, don't go get food yet."

Wang Chengen gave Wang Jinlong a blank look, you kid! When we met, you didn't say you hadn't eaten? Besides, did we know each other before? Does my dignified manager need to ask for warmth in front of you, a young man? If you hadn't said that you had something important to report, we would have arrested you as a wrongdoer just because you stayed at the gate of our house in the middle of the night.

However, Wang Chengen still admires Wang Jinlong, this guy dares to ask the emperor for something to eat in person, he has been by the emperor's side for so many years, he has never seen anyone with such courage.

Wang Lian, who was shivering in the cold wind outside the door, and a group of little eunuchs were constantly stomping their feet and moving their bodies at this time, they didn't know why the governor Wang Gonggong would bring such a person into the palace in the middle of the night and blast them all out.

As time went by, Wang Lian and the others felt colder and colder, and everyone regretted not wearing two more clothes.

In fact, this is also to blame them for wearing less clothes, on ordinary nights, where will someone come to the Qianqing Palace, even if there are ministers coming occasionally, they don't have to avoid it, just stand aside and be careful, and the vigorous earth dragon burned in the Qianqing Palace can make people feel warm like spring in the coldest winter.

Wang Chengen ran out and told Wang Lian to hurry up and inform the imperial dining room to cook, and before going back, he explained, "Don't forget to bring two jars of good wine!" ”

Wang Lian and the others were stunned, who is this young man? actually asked the emperor to entertain him to eat and drink in the middle of the night, when did the emperor entertain people to eat in the harem? It's so perverse.

But Wang Lian and the others know that they can't be sloppy, this young man who followed Wang Chengen into the palace is not an ordinary person, and in the future, he may be an unattainable figure.

Wang Chengen, who entered the Qianqing Palace, walked quickly to Zhu Youzhen's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, those monkey cubs are all frozen, do you want them to come in and warm up, we can go to the East Nuan Pavilion to talk." ”

At this time, after listening to what Wang Chengen said, Zhu Youzhen remembered a few eunuchs who were driven out, "Well! Call them in. ”

Qianqing Palace is the largest and most magnificent palace in the inner court, located on the white marble steps of more than one person, facing nine rooms wide and five rooms deep, this number symbolizes that the emperor is the honor of the ninety-five.

The Qianqing Palace is not an independent building, there are many ancillary buildings around, in addition to the main hall, there is also a side hall on both sides. On both sides of the Qianqing Gate in front, the six rooms on the east side are where the prince and the prince study, and the six rooms on the west side are called the south study room, which is the office of cabinet members. There is a gate on both sides of the compound, the east gate is called Rijing, and the west gate is called Yuehua, and these two gates lead to the east and west six palaces respectively.

There are three gatehouses on the south side of the east gate, which is the imperial pharmacy, and there are two imperial doctors on duty there all the time, the three rooms next to the gate in the north are called the self-striking bell room, which is actually the place where the emperor goes to the toilet and bathes, and then the three rooms to the north are the places where the emperor stores his clothes and changes, and the northernmost three are the restaurants where the emperor drinks tea and eats light meals.

There are also three rooms in the south of the Yuehua Gate in the west, which is the place where the folds are collected, under normal circumstances, the ministers can not directly write their own things to the Emperor Chen, of course, under special circumstances, they can play the dark folds, and the first-class nine rooms in the north of the gate are the houses of the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace and the place on duty.

The three rooms in the middle of the Qianqing Palace are the halls, which is the place where the emperor works daily, the tall and wide mahogany platform is placed on the throne and the imperial case, and the east and west are respectively called the East Warm Pavilion, the West Warm Pavilion, a total of 30 rooms, of which 27 are bedrooms, and the other three are small reception rooms.

What did the emperor's bedroom do with so many bedrooms? Naturally useful, the emperor's three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, in addition to the important maidens have their own residences, they also have their own rooms in the Qianqing Palace, once the emperor summons, they are here to serve the emperor.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor with the most women should have been the Wanli Emperor, who is said to have married nine concubines in one day. Plus, he's not honest. One day, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun went to the Empress Dowager's palace to ask for peace, and was excited to be fortunate to have a palace maid, and later, this palace maid had a big belly, and the Empress Dowager asked to know that it was Wanli's species, but the Wanli Emperor disliked the low status of this palace maid and did not admit it, and finally the Empress Dowager consulted the living note, and the Wanli Emperor had to admit that this palace maid was the grandmother of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, is not lustful for state affairs, and the wife who has a record of the eight classics is also the first queen and the second concubine, the peerless beauty Chen Yuanyuan, who once made Wu Sangui angry, was previously bought by Tian Guifei's father Tian Wan to give to Zhu Youzhen, the purpose is to replace his deceased daughter and continue to gain the emperor's favor, but the state affairs are decadent, Zhu Youzhen is not in the mood to accept concubines at all, so he sent Tian Wan back, and finally, Tian Wan gave Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui as a concubine.

The emperor has many bedrooms, and there is another advantage, if that person wants to plot wrong, he can't find the emperor to sleep in that room, which greatly improves the emperor's safety.

Seeing that Wang Jinlong was not unfamiliar at all, Zhu Youzhen was very surprised, "Aiqing, have you been to my Qianqing Palace?" ”

Then Zhu Youzhen thought about it, impossible, how could Wang Jinlong, a talent thousands of miles away, come to the Qianqing Palace? Even if Wang Jinlong has entered the Qianqing Palace, he has only been to the hall of the Qianqing Palace, how can he have been to the Warm Pavilion?

What Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that Wang Jinlong said: "Your Majesty, the Forbidden City has become a history museum in later generations, and Caomin is a graduate student majoring in history, focusing on the relationship between climate change and regime change in the late Ming Dynasty. Of course it's familiar. ”

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, "What do you mean?" Could it be that I have not passed down this country and died? ”
