Chapter 306: Chongzhen's thoughts
Green hills on both sides, rippling blue waves, white sails, and fleets sailing in the wide canals. Looking at the picturesque scenery on both sides of the strait, Chongzhen couldn't help but be intoxicated. This is my world, this is my country!
It's pitiful to say, although Chongzhen is the king of a country, he has never been out of Beijing City, and after becoming an emperor, he has not been out of the Forbidden City for seventeen years. Once upon a time, he was very envious of those scholars who traveled around to study, envied that they could walk all over the famous mountains and rivers, and walked thousands of miles, and although he was the emperor, although he was the most noble person in the world, the farther away there were no scholars who were free.
Say that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, but he is just a poor worm without freedom, and the Forbidden City is just a cage that imprisons himself.
If it weren't for the fact that Beijing was attacked by thieves, I am afraid that I would not be able to leave Beijing in this life, and I would not have been able to see this beautiful river and mountain!
"Emperor, it's windy outside, let's go into the cabin and rest." Zhang Xiuer walked to Chongzhen's side and said reservedly.
These days, Zhang Xiuer is like in a dream, she never thought that she would become the imperial concubine and become the most noble woman in the world. Although Chongzhen has not officially canonized her, it is just a verbal promise, but he is the emperor, so naturally Chrysostom will not deceive himself.
Once upon a time, Zhang Xiuer just wanted to find a scholar to be her husband, at that time she also fell in love with the poor talent Lu Xianggong, but she didn't expect that now she would become the emperor's woman!
"It's almost summer, so what's the matter." Chongzhen looked at Zhang Xiuer dotingly and said with a smile.
Zhang Xiu'er is not very beautiful, but her face is delicate and youthful, but for some reason, on Zhang Xiu'er's body, Chongzhen actually saw a trace of Queen Zhou's shadow.
When she was still the king of letters, the queen was also a young girl like Zhang Xiuer, because she was born in a small family, she didn't know much etiquette, and she was as youthful as Zhang Xiuer.
"By the way, what is the princess doing?" After chatting with Zhang Xiu'er for a few words, Chongzhen asked, in the past, Kunxing would often come to accompany him when he was fine, but in the past two days, that is, every morning, he asked himself to say goodbye, and then he disappeared. Could it be that Kunxing is staying with Chen Yue's kid every day? Thinking of this, Chongzhen's face was extremely complicated.
Although Chongzhen now admires Chen Yue very much and likes it very much, and is willing to marry Kunxing to him, but in the end, he is a father, thinking that the daughter he has raised for more than ten years does not accompany him, but goes to accompany others, Chongzhen has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"The princess has been studying hard for the past two days!" Zhang Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled.
"Ahh Chongzhen was really shocked now, although Kun Xing had also read books for a few years, but most of them were some female training and female precepts, she was not a person who loved to read, and it was useless to read as a princess, when did she become so studious?
"Kunxing, what book did she read?" Chongzhen suddenly became curious.
"I heard that it's nine chapters of arithmetic or something, and Miss Wan'er is responsible for teaching her, and she uses zigzag symbols to calculate problems every day." Zhang Xiu'er said, her expression was full of envy, she hadn't even read a book for a day, and it was difficult for her to remember the name Nine Chapters of Arithmetic.
"Nine chapters of arithmetic? Kunxing: When did she like to read this kind of book? Chongzhen was puzzled, he thought that Kun Xing was just reading some poems and songs.
"I heard that Miss Wan'er is still teaching the princess to keep accounts, Miss Wan'er is amazing, and it was her credit that the Chen family's honeycomb coal was opened all over Beijing!"
Zhang Xiuer twittered that under the auspices of Wu Wan'er, the Chen family's honeycomb coal business developed rapidly, and Zhang Xiu'er followed Wu Wan'er at that time, and admired Wu Wan'er's ability.
"Honeycomb coal!" Chongzhen's face suddenly showed a complicated color, he knew that it was Kun Xing's business in partnership with Chen Yue in order to share his worries, and later brought hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to himself, but unfortunately, because of the impeachment of the civil officials, he even poured dirty water on Kun Xing, forcing himself to ban Kun Xing's feet, and handed over the honeycomb coal to Jiading Bo Zhou Kui to control.
At that time, Chongzhen was worried about state affairs every day, and he had no time to take care of his daughter's thoughts. And at that time, he actually banned her foot for violating the royal system......
Could it be that Kun Xing is now learning nine chapters of arithmetic and learning bookkeeping with Wu Wan'er, in order to do business in the future and help herself make money to share her worries?
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's heart trembled inexplicably, and his eyes moistened suddenly.
"If only Kun Xing were a boy!" Chongzhen muttered, the crown prince and Yongwang Dingwang are deeply in the hands of thieves, and there is such a daughter left by his side, if Kun Xing is a boy, there will be an heir after the Ming Dynasty.
Although the crown prince and the two kings of Yongding read a lot and were strictly taught by several bachelors, they could not be compared with Kun Xing in terms of spirituality.
If Kun Xing is a boy, he can share one or two for his father, the current Ming Dynasty is full of holes, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, there are slave thieves raging outside, and there is a Fu King brazenly rebelling inside, and he has reached the end of the road.
Although he went to the south, Chongzhen had a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of this situation.
What should we do to turn the tide, resist the attacks of thieves, and keep half of the southern Ming Dynasty? At this moment, Chongzhen was very confused.
Daughter Kun Xing still knows that she is worried about herself and Daming, and as the king of a country, I can't let the inheritance of my ancestors be ruined in my hands, otherwise what face will I have to see my ancestors!
Although he has not yet arrived in Nanjing and has not defeated King Fu's scheme, Chongzhen feels that there are some things that he should think about and do now, that is, he has to decide where to go in the future!
Of course, relying on Chongzhen alone, he didn't have too many ideas, but fortunately, there were good ministers and strategists around him, such as Lu Zhenfei and Wang Yin, all of whom were knowledgeable, and Chongzhen decided to consult with them.
Chongzhen is not a very capable person, nor does he have any foresight, but he has an advantage that is difficult for others to achieve, that is, diligence. For the sake of government affairs, he can sacrifice all his rest and entertainment, and sacrifice all his enjoyment.
"You go back to the cabin yourself, I still have something to do." Chongzhen said softly to Zhang Xiu'er, although the taste of gentle township is good, now is far from the time to enjoy.
"Yes, Emperor." Zhang Xiu'er obediently agreed, and since the emperor didn't need to accompany her, she went to find her mother, Aunt Zhang.
"Someone, Xuanlu Zhenfei, Wang Yin will see you!" Chongzhen commanded the guards on the ship in a deep voice.
