On May 25, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the capital, Qianqing Palace.

The twenty-two-year-old Emperor Chongzhen frowned and looked at the book in his hand, his eyes were full of anger and helplessness!

This memo was sent by Fu Zonglong, the new governor of the three sides, and there was only one thing said in it, that is, the strength of the Shaanxi giant thieves is strong, and it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, and if the imperial court wants to conquer and suppress, it must be 100,000 soldiers and horses!

"Ahem, cough, ,,,"

Emperor Chongzhen coughed violently a few times, hurriedly put down the fold in his hand, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and tried his best to maintain the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly stroked Emperor Chongzhen's back and was relieved for Emperor Chongzhen.

Looking at Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, Wang Chengen couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was only twenty-two years old, but his temples were already full of white hair, and his forehead was wrinkled.

He's only twenty-two years old!

Since he became the emperor, he has never had even a day of leisure, but seeing that there are more and more things in this country and the situation is getting worse and worse, he only feels that he is becoming more and more powerless!

As Emperor Chongzhen's personal eunuch, Wang Chengen and Emperor Chongzhen have walked through every day together, and he empathizes with Emperor Chongzhen's situation.

From a high-spirited young king, to the present day, he is worried and depressed every day, and there are only four years in between!

"Emperor, you better take a rest, the dragon body is important!"

Wang Chengen said, the tears of tears couldn't help but flow.

Emperor Chongzhen was brought up by Wang Chengen, in his eyes, deep in his heart, he had long regarded Emperor Chongzhen as his own child, and now seeing Emperor Chongzhen like this, how could he not feel distressed!

"Companion, how many hours are there until the court?"

"Back to the emperor, there is still about an hour, why don't you go to the dragon bed for a while!"

"No, it's even more annoying when you calm down."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand slightly, then stood up, "Accompany me to the Imperial Garden." ”

"Hey!"

Wang Chengen responded, and then turned to the little eunuch who was serving outside and shouted, "Drive the imperial garden." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen came to the Imperial Garden, the sky was not yet fully bright, only the misty sunlight sprinkled on the earth, sprinkled on the colorful flowers and plants, it seemed so peaceful.

Emperor Chongzhen strolled on the path in the imperial garden, Wang Chengen was half a body behind, serving beside him, more than ten steps away before and after, there were several eunuchs and palace maids carrying lanterns to illuminate Emperor Chongzhen.

"Companion, what do you think of my Ming Dynasty now?"

As he walked, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen hesitated slightly, and then replied: "Back to the emperor's words, my Ming Dynasty is full of flowers and thriving, although it is now encountering some things, but after all, it will not hurt the overall situation, and after a while, it will naturally pass." ”

"Hehehe,,,"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed helplessly, and no longer spoke, but slowly walked on the path of birds and flowers.

Yes, I thought so at first, I have been enjoying the country for more than 200 years, and the orthodox status has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if some clowns occasionally come out to make trouble, it is just a grasshopper shaking the tree, not a problem!

However, these mayflies have slowly grown up, and now, they have grown to the point where it is impossible to dispatch an army of 100,000 to conquer them, is this still a grasshopper?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen stopped, and his eyes couldn't help but look at a strong pine and cypress tree.

This pine and cypress tree was planted by himself and the imperial brother back then, when the emperor was still in power, and the emperor grandfather was not in court for decades, but the world was peaceful.

After the imperial grandfather left, his father was not in power yet, and he also left, and then the imperial brother was in power, and the imperial brother was also like the imperial grandfather who ignored political affairs, and was just busy with his carpenter work every day, but the world was quite passable.

Later, the imperial brother left, and it was his turn to be in power, in order to make the great tomorrow prosperous, in order to let the Ming dynasty be passed on for thousands of years, he did not dare to slack off for a day.

Since he came to power, he has never had a day of relaxation, compared to the emperor's grandfather and brother, I don't know how much more diligent, but why is this big tomorrow not as good as a day!

Emperor Chongzhen was full of emotion, made it to the stone bench next to him, and fell into contemplation.

In the Fengtian Palace, a group of civil and military officials stood solemnly together, standing in two shifts, all of which were silent.

"The emperor has arrived!"

A eunuch shouted loudly, and all the civil and military knelt on the ground, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted: "The ministers see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Emperor Chongzhen cheered up, walked up to the imperial platform, sat on the dragon chair, and said, "Zhongqing's family is flat. ”

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live long live." A group of civil and military people shouted again.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Do you have a good performance? ”

The officials were all looking at their noses and noses, and no one stood up to reply.

"What, am I so peaceful?"

Emperor Chongzhen's tone was quite hateful.

If Emperor Chongzhen still had strong expectations for these officials when he first ascended the throne, then now these expectations have been slowly exhausted, and with the passage of time, Emperor Chongzhen has become more and more clear about these people, and the Ming Dynasty relies on them, it is difficult!

"It seems that the imperial brother reuses eunuchs, not for no reason!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen say this, an official just stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, now that my Ming Dynasty is under the wise governance of the emperor, state affairs are becoming more and more promising. Therefore, we and other courtiers have nothing to play for a while. In this way, it can also be said that I am blessed by the Ming Dynasty! ”

As soon as the official's voice fell, many people also nodded in agreement.

Emperor Chongzhen also didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly asked him to step down, and then said to the officials: "A few days ago, Fu Aiqing, the governor of the three sides, said to me that the giant thieves in Shaanxi are quite powerful, and they can't do it unless they have an army of 100,000. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, all the officials were in a commotion, and they couldn't help but whisper, and many officials actually showed that excited light in their eyes!

This is not surprising, this is going to send troops to fight, this war, that is, the money and grain spent are innumerable, and the treasury is about to move again, if there is no war, how will the silver in the treasury come out!
