I saw Zhu Cihong at the forefront, and the first assistant Zhou Yanru bowed down in front of him, and said loudly: "Father." Erchen thought that although the affairs of Liaodong were eroded, the strength of Jiannu had been exhausted, and the mountains and seas were still there. No matter how erosive the affairs of Liaodong are, it is nothing more for the time being. The task now is to reform the military system and train new soldiers. Suppress the internal coars, and restore the remaining strength of the border army. In particular, loyal and sensitive people should be selected, and new tax policies should be introduced. ”

Chongzhen listened, frowned slowly, and when he saw the person who came, he finally had a little more joy on his face.

When the ministers heard this, their faces turned ugly. Some people keenly smelled the sharpness of Qin Xia's last sentence.

You must know that when Wei Zhongxian was in power, he sent eunuchs to various places to issue commercial taxes! Thinking of this, many people were shocked in their hearts, and looked at Zhu Cihong, as if they knew each other for the first time.

Shang Shulin of the Ministry of Rites sighed and said slowly: "The prince's palace is full of sincerity, and it is even filial piety. It's just that the prince should first study his homework and take care of his body now. ”

Lin Yuji tried to euphemistically bypass the topic and find Zhu Cihong under the stairs.

But Zhou Yanru put the name of a prince and prince on his head, and he was even more polite: "Suppressing Kou is naturally a top priority." But not with the crown prince. What's more, it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses from all provinces to gather and suppress, which is even more costly. Liaodong affairs and the matter of suppressing the Kou are so heavy in the imperial court, such a thing should be thought about slowly. As for the tax policy, the cornerstone of the country, every move is related to tens of millions of people, and it is not appropriate to act in this chaotic time. ”

"Please think twice the prince, please think twice ...... Your Majesty"

Several more ministers chimed in.

Chongzhen's face sank like water, and there was a rare voice of private discussion in the Qianqing Palace.

"Shouldn't the prince be in the harem to recuperate and learn his homework? Why did you get to the Qianqing Palace? ”

"This is a place of discussion on important military matters, without the permission of His Majesty, and it is not a special case for the supervision of the country. Why did the prince come to Qianqing Palace? ”

"Unexpectedly want to introduce new taxes, how innocent are the people, the prince is actually ......"

……

I didn't expect a word to come out, and the name moved everywhere.

On the contrary, none of the important ministers of the DPRK agreed with what Zhu Cihong said.

The originally relieved expression on Chongzhen's face was also disturbed by these discussions, and his mood became impatient.

Zhu Cihong's face was red and white for a while, and the denials of the ministers made Zhu Cihong embarrassed. As a fourteen-year-old prince, where does he have any say in the important affairs of the military state that are so deeply involved?

What's more, he didn't mean to raise taxes on the common people, but to merchants! But which businessman does not have a high-ranking official behind him as a backer. Qin Xia just mentioned it slightly, and he was opposed so fiercely. is so damaging to the public and private, completely ignoring the fact that the Ming Dynasty is already broken.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but feel sad.

I saw Zhu Cihong turn around and stare fixedly at the ministers who were talking, and said: "As important ministers of the country, the monarchs have been favored by the emperor for generations. The father asked the ministers, but no one could relieve his father's worries. I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the prince of the country. What should we not talk about such a major matter of the country? ”

The ministers all bowed their heads and frowned, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts. A mere child, when he hears about a serious illness, he is so stupid that he forgets it. Now almost all the important ministers of the country are here, and they don't even give the ministers any face, which is really a bit ignorant, and the serious illness is really groundless...... Not necessarily without cause.

"Presumably, some people will think that if you are so noisy in front of the king, you don't think about articles, you don't respect the number of courtesies, it's really a brain disease!" Zhu Cihong's eyes were fixed, and several ministers who were not strong-willed met Zhu Cihong's gaze and hurriedly lowered their heads.

The faces of several old foxes were full of righteous indignation, and they looked like they had heard of it for the first time.

Zhu Cihong smiled, with a sad and indignant look on his face, and said impassionedly: "There is no need to deny it. I was really sick and didn't wake up for three days. Because I dreamed that Taizu gave me a dream, let me see what the future of Daming looks like! ”

Taizu!

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!

Hearing Zhu Cihong breaking the news so violently, even Chongzhen couldn't sit still, got up and said, "What did Taizu give you in a dream?" ”

At this time, no one thought that Zhu Cihong was so young that he would deceive others with the name of Taizu.

What's more, if you don't wake up for three days, the imperial doctor will check that there is no disease. This is indeed like a dream of Taizuto!

Zhu Cihong took a trembling breath, as if recalling that terrifying memory: "Erchen dreamed that two years later, the anti-thieves attacked the city and fell to the Central Plains, and no one on the city wall of the capital division held on; I dreamed that three years later, the iron horsemen of the Tartars entered the pass; In Kyushu, there are no more courtiers of the Ming Dynasty; Erchen dreamed that the Manchu Tartars were holding a butcher's knife in one hand and a razor in the other, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were all dressed and disgraced, with their left hair draped, their heads without hair, and the slaughter of cities was not counted. The courtiers dreamed that the courtiers were still arguing and still surrendering to the enemy. The defenders died on the battlefield, and those who stayed behind were all killed. Taizu stood in front of me, and the ancestors and ancestors looked at each other coldly. In this situation, as the Ming royal family, my father ...... How can the sons and daughters live in the deep palace again? In this Ming Dynasty, the soldiers can be surrendered, the generals can be surrendered, the ministers can be surrendered, even the nobles who have received the emperor's favor can also be surrendered, and even the eunuchs of the heavenly family slaves can also be surrendered. But the sons are the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of the country, and one step back is the road to Huangquan! Father, such a critical situation. Erchen is the son of his father and the prince of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, I don't work hard to relieve my father's worries and calm the chaos in the world. Don't...... Do you really have to wait until the scenes in your dreams to reappear? ”

The temple was unusually quiet.

The prince's serious illness was explained, and what followed was fear under an inexplicable force.

Ming Taizu, the power of these three words is too strong.

It was so powerful that these courtiers and talents, who were full of poetry and books and knew history, all trembled in their hearts when they thought of the situation of the officials in the Taizu period.

A great Confucian like Liu Zongzhou will certainly firmly believe that the son is silent and the god of strange power. But most people, especially those courtiers who have ghosts in their hearts, naturally amplify the fear in their hearts when they encounter such a myth and a ghost.

For a time, the palace was quiet, and the ministers were trembling.

Until he closed his eyes for a long time, Chongzhen, who exhaled out with a long breath of turbidity, looked around at everyone, and said in an already hoarse voice: "The cabinet will quickly plan a Liao Dongfang to come out." The Ministry of War agreed on the policy of transferring troops for training, and the Ministry of Household first discussed the method of raising salaries. Go back and rest! ”

Zhu Youzhen waved back the ministers, glanced at Zhu Cihong, turned around, and walked towards the back of the hall, his footsteps slightly floating.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong's heart was slightly sour, and he walked over quickly to help, but saw Zhu Youzhen waving his hand fiercely, not letting Zhu Cihong caress him, and walked forward silently, without saying a word.

After a while, the father and son arrived at the apse, and Wang Chengen quietly took all the attendants away.

Zhu Cihong's resolute bloodshot gaze reminded him of the dream entrusted by Taizu. Zhu Youzhen staggered back and closed his eyes, but he couldn't bear to look at Zhu Cihong's resolute gaze.
