Zhu Youzhen watched the crowd of officials below echo him, and immediately understood, knowing that he could no longer insist on opposing it now, otherwise this debate would change from whether the ancestral system could be changed to whether the imperial power was subject to the checks and balances of civil power.

At this point, even Huang Liji, Xu Guangqi and others can't stand on their side. Because this is no longer a question of whether the Ming Dynasty will reform or not, but a question of the power to rule the Ming Dynasty that the civilian clique wants to defend, and they have gained the power to rule the Ming Dynasty after more than 100 years of struggle.

Zhu Youzhen knew that he didn't have the capital to break with the entire civilian-bureaucratic group, so he took a deep look at Yuan Chonghuan and agreed to this proposal.

However, Zhu Youzhen added a few additional conditions: "In order to ensure the representativeness of these lifters, all lifters with immediate family members who are above the fifth grade of officials, and lifters with a family property of more than 1,000 taels are not allowed to be selected." In addition to the official representatives, each province elects half of the alternate representatives, so that in case of emergencies, the representatives can be replaced. ”

The officials generally agreed to the emperor's conditions after deliberation, but Ni Wenlu proposed a revised clause: "Beijing is the capital, and Nanjing is also the capital, since Beijing has six representatives, then Nanjing should also be increased to six, and the number of representatives in Shaanxi should be equal to that of other provinces." ”

After several conversations, Beijing still has six delegates, while Shaanxi and Nanjing have four each.

Because of this sudden accident, today's court meeting had to be hastily ended. Zhu Youzhen, who originally wanted to introduce measures such as the reform of the money law and the establishment of a central bank, had to interrupt the court meeting.

In the west wing of the backyard, a soft girl wearing a goose yellow collar placket with big sleeves is concentrating on embroidering a pillow of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

When she was embroidering the eyes of the mandarin duck with peace of mind, she suddenly felt that the pattern in front of her was a little blurry. She couldn't help but look up at the window, only to realize that the sky outside the window had darkened.

"Chunxiang, Chunxiang..."The girl stretched and yawned before calling her personal maid.

Although the heavy winter clothes cover up the girl's lines, the demeanor she exudes when she stretches her body is enough to make people's hearts move.

With a continuous sound of promise, a maid about the same age as the girl lifted the cotton curtain and walked in with a dustpan containing charcoal.

The maid who had just walked into the room, her face was red from the wind, and her cheeks were slightly infantile of baby fat, although the color was slightly inferior to the embroidered girl sitting in the room, but it looked more kind.

"Miss, do you have any orders? Just now, the little maid saw that there was not much charcoal burned in the house, so she went to the front yard to get some back. Haruka replied cheerfully as she added charcoal to the charcoal pot.

Feng Susu looked at the afterglow outside the window, carefully checked the stitches, and asked, "It's been this hour, hasn't Daddy come back yet?" ”

"Miss's embroidery is so good, Li Gongzi is really lucky to be able to marry Miss." Haruka stood behind her, admiring from the bottom of her heart.

Feng Susu's face suddenly turned crimson, she put down the embroidery in her hand, turned to Chunxiang and pretended to be angry and said: "You girl, now it's getting less and less, what Li Gongzi is not Li Gongzi..."

Chunxiang suddenly restrained her smile, and after putting her hands together and accusing herself, she stuck out her tongue and said, "It's Ao, after thirteen days, I'm going to change my name to Aunt Li." Damn it..."

Before Chunxiang finished speaking, she saw Feng Susu stand up violently and pounce on him with her teeth and claws. Chunxiang suddenly turned around and ran in shock, and the two chased in the room for a while, before Chunxiang was caught by Feng Susu and tickled for a while.

It wasn't until Chunxiang begged for mercy that Feng Susu let her go with satisfaction. Feng Susu lost her mother since she was a child and grew up under the care of her wet nurse, while Chunxiang is the second daughter of her wet nurse Wu and grew up with her since she was a child.

Although the two are nominally master and servant, they are actually similar to sisters. When Chunxiang and Feng Susu get along in private, they often forget their slave status.

After Feng Susu and Chunxiang were tired, the two lay side by side on the gums, like a pair of sisters.

After resting for a while, Feng Susu's rapid breathing finally eased. She suddenly opened her mouth and asked Chunxiang beside her, "Chunxiang, are you really willing to marry me to Anhui?" After leaving, it may be difficult to see Mama Wu and your brother and sister-in-law again. ”

Chunxiang hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I want to accompany Miss and let you run so far alone, I don't worry." ”

Feng Susu seemed to be able to hear the hesitation in Chunxiang's heart, but the thought that she would soon be far away from her family and live in a strange place thousands of miles away made her unable to continue persuading. She was a little selfish and thought that if Haruka was with her, no matter how strange the environment was, she would be able to live.

The two of them thought about their hearts silently, and they took a nap so unknowingly. It wasn't until Wu's mother came to knock on the door that the two woke up.

Feng Susu was about to tell Wu's mother to bring dinner to the room, when suddenly there was a commotion from the front yard, and she suddenly said happily: "It's Daddy who is back, Wu's mother has heated the meal, and I want to eat with Daddy." ”

Feng Shikong, the right servant of the imperial history, had a slightly red face, and walked towards the main hall with staggering steps, just in time to see his daughter standing on the steps in front of the door and waiting.

He smiled and said, "Why did Su Su come out, did you eat dinner?" ”

Feng Susu saw that there were no other idlers in the courtyard, and immediately put away her dignified appearance, jumped down the steps, and walked towards the hall with her father's arm.

"Why is Daddy drinking again? Did you encounter something happy? Feng Susu asked curiously.

"What could make Daddy happier than when you get married? Li Linsun is knowledgeable, but he is a good husband, and his father will be satisfied to watch you get married. Feng Shikong couldn't help but praise his future son-in-law.

"Hey, what did Daddy say? Okay, why did you get to this again? Feng Susu was blushed by his father's words, and wanted to let go and slip away.

This made Feng Shikong almost fall down, and he suddenly didn't dare to make fun of his daughter anymore, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Today, your father and I have done a big thing in the court..."

Listening to his father's show-off, Feng Susu said with some concern: "Daddy, didn't you say that although today's son is young, he is a rare hero?" Why do you want to embarrass the Son of Heaven with Uncle Men? ”

Feng Shikong took a sip of the sobering soup sent by Wu's mother, and said disapprerovitously: "Officialdom naturally has to talk about human relations, I asked your uncle to block it, and the impeachment of your father-in-law Li Jingbai for corruption and bribery will naturally be rewarded today." ”

Feng Shikong put down the soup bowl, looked at his daughter's worried expression, and hurriedly added: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the officials who prevented His Majesty from cleaning up and encroaching on the land of the military defense account for most of the officials in the court."

Besides, although Your Majesty is a British lord, but after all, he is still young, and this person who encroached on the land of the military guard is not a person with an identity background. If His Majesty can really succeed in clearing up the land that has encroached on the guard, how many people will be left in the court?

For the sake of your father, this is also for the sake of Your Majesty, Daming today is the autumn of three emptiness, and it is better to have more than one thing, so as not to have twists and turns in vain. Besides, as long as I rest with the people, I will naturally be able to recover, so why do I have to do thankless work..."

When Feng Shikong was chatting with his daughter, Zhu Youzhen had already locked himself in the upper study for an afternoon.

Wang Chengen stood at the door and listened to the closed door, hoping to hear Chongzhen's voice calling his name.

This is the first time Wang Chengen has seen Chongzhen look so angry. It was also the first time Chongzhen was seen refusing anyone to appear in front of him, including Wang Chengen himself.

Wang Chengen also lost the bottom of his heart for the first time, as a eunuch, in the legends in the palace, he naturally knew what the emperor's wrath meant.

Generally speaking, after the emperor is angry, he relies on whipping his close attendants to vent his frustration, which is already the most gentle means.

It is normal for the emperor to put his attendants to death for a small reason in his anger. If you can vent your anger in a short period of time, then it's just a bad luck one or two unlucky chamberlains.

However, what worries these chamberlains the most is that the emperor's anger will not be released for a long time, and as time accumulates, the anger will become higher and higher. Then will come to the misfortune of their chamberlains. Because when the emperor is in a bad mood, he will not look at anything pleasing to the eye.

When the time comes, these servants will naturally be blamed at every turn, and then the attendants of the entire inner palace will be anxious and worried that they will be punished. And the unlucky one will not be alone.

Zhou Yufeng heard about the early dynasty in Kunning Palace, and she had been quite worried about Chongzhen, but Yuan Zhaorong happened to come to see her, and she couldn't go away.

Until Wang Chengen sent someone to tell her that Chongzhen locked himself in the upper study and closed the door, she couldn't take anything into account, and directly took Yuan Zhaorong to visit Chongzhen.

When Zhou Yufeng arrived in front of the Qianqing Palace, he happened to see Tian Xiuying who came in a hurry, and the atmosphere between the three of them was a little awkward for a while.

Zhu Youzhen heard that the queen came to visit him, and finally opened his mouth to let people in. When Zhou Yufeng entered the upper study, he saw Chongzhen put down the brush.

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, since she could still calm down and write, it showed that Chongzhen had not been carried away by anger.

After Yuan Zhaorong saluted Chongzhen, he stood behind Zhou Yufeng, not exceeding the etiquette of the harem at all.

But Tian Xiuying didn't care about all this, and after saluting, she stepped forward with a big grin to see what Chongzhen wrote.

"Why is Your Majesty's handwriting so bad?" Tian Xiuying said with some surprise. Zhu Youzhen was a little embarrassed and wanted to put away the words on the table, and defended himself in his mouth: "I haven't written for a long time, my hands are born, my hands are born..."
