Zhu Cihong hurriedly went over to support Zhu Youzhen, and when he helped, Zhu Cihong felt that Zhu Youzhen's weight was as light as paper, and he actually supported a middle-aged man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

supported Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Cihong bowed down to plead guilty.

Chongzhen helped him up, and his strength was very heavy, especially grasping it tightly, which made Zhu Cihong's arms hurt.

Zhu Cihong looked over, Chongzhen's eyes began to fade, and a firm gaze familiar to Zhu Cihong fell on him.

It was this firmness that allowed Chongzhen to take over a corrupt Ming dynasty from the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so that he was determined to sweep away the dirt of this world, eradicate the eunuchs, cleanse the hearts of the people, and intend to be the master of the Ming Dynasty.

It is this kind of firmness that allows Chongzhen to continue to eat and clothe under the erosion of state affairs, handle national affairs diligently, and try to drag the Ming Dynasty inherited from his brother out of the quagmire little by little, although the ending makes Chongzhen's firm heart drowned in the filthy swamp little by little.

It was this firmness that, two years after the surrender of all the border city officials, made him desperately walk up the coal mountain, leaving behind "to cover his face." Let the thief split the corpse, and don't hurt the people".

This is a diligent and responsible emperor who cares about the world. But he is also a tragic martyr who was born at the wrong time and is difficult to recover.

Now that the new Zhu Cihong is here, will his fate be repeated?

The hall was silent for a while, but it didn't look dull, and a voice that made Zhu Cihong's heart stir sounded in the room.

"Brother Hong, you said it well. As a subject of the world, how can I leave behind my ancestors' inheritance. Leave behind the subjects who consider me my father? Since Taizu, the Ming Emperor has not been a minister or a tribute, there is no kneeling of relatives, and there is no national shame of cutting land. The Son of Heaven defends the country, and the king dies! Brother Hong, this world will never be occupied by barbarians! As the crown prince, you can ignore the other ancestral teachings, this one, to the descendants of the Zhu family, from generation to generation! Chongzhen's voice returned to its neutral appearance at this moment.

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a kind of mission in his heart, and a kind of responsibility was included in his heart.

In this world, since you enjoy the dignity of the first class, you will bear the responsibility of the first class.

Zhu Cihong's eyes were clear, and he responded to Chongzhen with unprecedented firmness: "Erchen remember the lessons of his father, and he will not regret his death!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhen's heart was happy, and he rarely showed a relaxed look. Just thinking of the government affairs that he had just dealt with, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help frowning: "Brother Hong." I don't know what you just said, King Fu died in Luoyang, I ...... It's just that it's hard to kill, and it's even more expensive. At present, the imperial court can't drive the soldiers and horses if they can't get money and food, and the affairs of Liaodong are still difficult, and the difficulty of suppressing the Kou is even worse. As for the matter of opening up the source and raising taxes, it is particularly difficult for the courtiers to oppose it, and the salaries are already heavy, and I feel ashamed to raise taxes on the people. Therefore, it is difficult to be around right now, and there is nowhere to come for money and food! ”

"Father, the son-in-law flipped through the miscellaneous books and remembered that there was a story. If there is a famine, experienced farmers will dig holes in voles everywhere. Because these voles usually steal rice and grain from the people, they accumulate for years and months, and once they are dug up, they often have as many as several stones. Therefore, I want to go to the household department to sweep the treasury for my father. Zhu Youjian determined: "The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and the people pay hundreds of millions of tributes and taxes, but they cannot meet the needs of the frontier." There are 30 million Ishida endowments in the world every year, and Shuo Rat takes as much as half of them in his hands. If you don't get rid of the rats, Da Ming will be a bleeding giant, and one day he will dry up his blood and have no life! The sons had no use for training, and the father had no way to support the war. ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes were cold: "The prince is saying that Li Shi asked?" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head. Chongzhen was suspicious and impatient, and the ministers of the cabinet department were replaced. But Zhu Cihong and Li Shiwen did not have a bad perception, nor did they have a deep understanding. And he's not here to fight the Reservoir Dogs.

"Father, now in the deep palace, I don't know much about the virtuous and unscrupulous ministers of the court. The deep palace is ninefold, how do you know about Li Min's affairs? It's just because if you want to build an army now, you will inevitably ask for salary. Therefore, one is for general affairs and the other is for military salaries. When Erchen went to the household department, he couldn't hoe the rats, and he couldn't raise a bunch of rats around him! Zhu Cihong said loudly.

Zhu Youzhen still frowned slightly: "The prince's body is a servant, ridiculous, really ridiculous!" ”

Zhu Cihong said loudly: "I advise my father to be vigorous and make talents without sticking to one pattern. Since Gu is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he is capable or virtuous, why does his father need to centrifuge his subjects with the view of the door? ”

"Eclectic makes talents ......" Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong's young appearance, and said helplessly: "That's it, just let you go out for a walk." Brother Hong'er, you go to Cao Huayu, the governor of the Zuodu Mansion of the Five Armies, he is Cao Zhengchun's brother, and I will order Wang Chengen to handle the matter of entering the household department carefully. ”

After speaking, Chongzhen paused, and then said: "On the main hall this time, you are too reckless. Among the ministers of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be many disturbances. I will let people spread the word that you are recuperating in the palace and resting. In this way, don't think about swaggering as a prince outside the palace. If there is something, you still enter the palace to learn government affairs first. ”

Even Chongzhen was not optimistic about himself, Zhu Cihong was disappointed for a while, but he didn't say much, just saluted.

When he returned to Ciqing Palace, Zhu Cihong saw Lin Lang, the personal female official of Empress Zhou, who had obviously been waiting for a long time. Zhu Cihong asked his eldest companion Sien to pack a few regular clothes, a little eunuch's clothes, and some odds and pieces of silver about 1,000 taels, which were his private money. After cleaning up, Zhu Cihong followed Linlang to Queen Zhou.

Empress Zhou waved away the palace people, and let the personal attendant spread the news, saying that the prince's remarks really angered Emperor Chongzhen, and Empress Zhou was so worried that she did not let the prince go to Ciqing Palace to live alone, so that the prince could live again in Zhongcui Palace, which was closer to the queen. Even the palace people have all changed to new ones, and their mouths are tired. Claiming to the outside world that it is recuperation.

As soon as these words came out, they calmed down the anger of a few imperial historians.

They really felt that the crown prince was really not in line with the words and deeds that the prince of the country should have. Many people have already sharpened their knives and are ready to play a stamp.

For Qingliu, who is proud of scolding the Son of Heaven, it is also their unshirkable obligation to grasp the education of the prince.

As for the fact that the prince can solve the current financial problems, and even solve the problems of the frontier?

Who will believe it?

A mere fourteen-year-old child.

Even if it is a prince, he has been confined to the deep palace since he was a child, what can he do?

And he is also a stunned young man who offends people when he comes up. The prince said such radical words, even the people in the East Palace were talking about it. In addition, Zhu Cihong himself admitted that he was seriously ill, and under the rumors, some people have already said that Zhu Cihong burned out his brain and really became stupid and reckless.

"What if you don't have the prince's dragon skin? Let's take a look at today's Daming situation, how to stir it up for me! ”
