Chapter 16: The Difficult Throne

Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes, just waiting to be beaten, thinking that this time was a complete end. annoying the emperor will never be as simple as just being thundered. I'm afraid that after the fight, I will push out the noon gate and behead the public.

"Smack!" A crisp slap resounded inside and outside the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Youzhen didn't feel any pain, and was surprised when he opened his eyes.

It turns out that the apocalypse himself has a big mouth for himself!

Who is the Emperor? That's the son of God, between God and man, the best man in the world! The emperor will never make a mistake and will never accept criticism. Even if you are forced to start self-criticism, it is called "self-condemnation", and it is just a show. The emperor is "guilty of himself", isn't there such a saying, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death. The emperor has been so wronged that he can't take off his skin when he is a minister. So after the show, who should be rectified or who should be rectified, whose head should be cut off or whose head should be chopped off. Now that the emperor actually gave himself a big mouth, which is higher than the ordinary "guilty self", Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down together, touched the ground with their heads, and didn't dare to say a word.

The slap of the apocalypse implemented the purpose of "men, be cruel to yourself", and half of his face turned red. After a long time, he said in a daze: "It turns out that I thought I was just an emperor and couldn't do well, but I didn't expect that I wasn't even a qualified carpenter!" Covered with wood with skin, filled with cotton, what a good idea, I can't think of it! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that he was cheap for a while, and he poked such a big basket, where did he dare to answer the question.

Tianqi pulled up Zhu Youzhen, pointed to the throne, and said excitedly: "Fifth brother, look, I don't want to sit on this chair for a long time!" After that, he couldn't help but say, and forcibly pulled Zhu Youzhen to the throne, and while pressing him up, he said: "Come on, come on, fifth brother, you sit on it and try it!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was almost scared to pee his pants. What is this emperor's brother going to do? Could it be that he suspected that I was disobedient and deliberately used this as a temptation? Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen refused to sit up even more to death, and shouted in his mouth: "The ministers dare not sit on His Majesty's throne even if they die!" ”

After making trouble for a while, Tianqi suddenly stopped his hand and smiled slyly: "Fifth brother, just kidding." I just think it's too wide to reach the armrests on either side. And it's too hard, and after sitting for a while, my butt hurts so much that I can't stand it. If you think about it, the ministers come to do something, they can sit if they want to, they can stand when they want, and they can kneel for a while if they want to. But I can only sit on this throne honestly, and I sit for most of the day, so tired that my bones are about to fall apart. As soon as I heard you talk about it, I felt that it would be a lot more comfortable if I changed this throne to the way you said, hahahaha! ”

Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to giggle and secretly breathe a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that he was in a cold sweat, and his close-fitting clothes were soaked. He thought to himself that he was really like a tiger, who knows which sentence of the apocalypse is true and which is false. If you deal with it a little longer, you will have to have a heart attack.

Fortunately, Tianqi continued: "Fifth brother, I am really happy today. You've just recovered from a serious illness, and you've come up with such a good idea, and I'm going to reward you heavily. Coming," following his call, the eunuch Wang Tiqian, who had just greeted Zhu Youzhen outside, hurriedly entered the main hall and bowed to Tianqi to say goodbye, but went straight to the throne and sat down at another table with the four treasures of the study, with a pen in hand.

Tianqi stomped two steps in the hall and said: "Spread my will, give Zhu Youzhen, the king of Ning, 100,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, five Dongzhu, ten royal horses, and a sword." Princess Ning was gentle and virtuous, and gave 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 10 taels of pearls. ”

Tianqi said while Wang Tiqian wrote, after Tianqi finished speaking, Wang Tiqian also finished writing, and carefully picked up a seal from the table and solemnly stamped it. When the ink was dry, he read it out to Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er with the holy decree, and the two of them hurriedly knelt down to thank them. After reading it, Wang Tiqian withdrew from the hall with the holy decree in his hand, probably going to the financial department to withdraw the bounty.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was pounding: 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, what is this concept? In the previous life, one gram of gold was more than 200 RMB, 10,000 taels of gold, that is more than 100 million! Coupled with 100,000 taels of silver, as well as Dongzhu and swords that are difficult to measure with money, they won't be counted, they really won't be counted. If you don't pay attention, my brother has become a billionaire!

Tianqi said disapprerovingly: "Fifth brother, I wanted to reward you more, but I was afraid that those courtiers would be noisy and say some nonsense such as 'disaster relief and military training costs a lot, the treasury cannot make ends meet, and the clan has a rule for Luyin, so it is not appropriate to give more'." In a few days, I will have another reward, all of which will come out of the within, and they will not be able to control it. As long as you are safe and often come to play with me, I will reward you with all the money, and I will never feel distressed. By the way, I'll go to the queen to thank you later. It's almost noon, and I won't leave you behind, go! ”

Until he came out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen still felt that his brain was in a state of short circuit. Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse is good to himself, he is basically a two hundred and five, and it is not easy to do such a promising career as the emperor, but he is obsessed with carpentry. With such an emperor, it would be strange if the Ming Dynasty did not die!

But after thinking about it, no matter how much Apocalypse doesn't do his job, he didn't lose the country when he was in power. And the Chongzhen Emperor in history is quite dedicated, but he died in the country, and I am afraid that he cannot simply use "the number of qi is exhausted" to excuse him. Working as a carpenter every day, he can still control the ministers, and if he changes to someone else, who dares to pat his chest and say that he can do it? So it's better to be careful, don't look at the apocalypse now to see how you look at it, it's a bounty and a silver bounty; Maybe one day it won't be pleasing to the eye, and it may not be enough to spit out all the food you eat now!

Just thinking about it, Rui'er behind her reminded in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Kunning Palace has arrived." ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen realize that he was just thinking about his thoughts, and unconsciously came to the queen's bedroom, the gate of Kunning Palace. In fact, Kunning Palace is not far from Qianqing Palace, and there is only one Jiaotai Palace in the middle. But the scene here is completely different from the Qianqing Palace, there are only two elderly palace maids standing in front of the palace gate, which looks deserted.

One of the palace maids entered the palace and said respectfully after a while: "The queen has a will, please invite King Ning and Princess Ning to the palace to talk." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't feel anything, let the palace maid lead the way in front, and followed generously. Rui'er underwent strict training before entering the palace, but she knew that whether it was a queen or a concubine, she would generally not see any man other than the emperor in her own bedroom. Even if his son is an adult, he can only ask for peace outside the palace gate and say a few words through the palace gate, which is the so-called "great defense of men and women". This time, the queen invited King Ning into the palace for the first time, although it was a husband and wife, Rui'er also felt that it was inappropriate, but she didn't dare to speak.

The two entered the main hall of Kunning Palace, and saw a woman sitting on the soft couch in front of them, about twenty years old, with a thin figure. She was not full of jewels as Zhu Youzhen guessed, but only lightly powdered, and her clothes were not very gorgeous, but she naturally brought out a noble and elegant temperament. However, her expression was slightly sad, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her lips were tightly closed, and she was troubled for some reason.

Zhu Youzhen only glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help but flutter suddenly, and he quickly looked away, and at the same time secretly thought: If Rui'er is a beautiful jasmine, and Sister Mei Jian is four charming moon flowers, then she is a lotus flower that can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed. If you really want to compare, her appearance is even higher than Rui'er and others, and she can be said to be like a celestial. Creation makes people, the university in the previous life was an engineering college, and the monks did not choose to eat if they were hungry and hungry, so they couldn't take care of it, as long as it did not affect the city's appearance, there was already a reinforced platoon of boys flocking to it. I don't have good skills, and I can't even get the most scummy one. After crossing over, it has been less than a day, but all I saw were beautiful women who could be called alluring the country and the city. If I knew this, I really shouldn't have been reincarnated until the end of the twentieth century, and my previous life was in vain!

Although his heart was itchy, Zhu Youzhen also knew that this was the queen, so he didn't dare to make a visit, and he was just about to pay a big salute, but when he saw the queen standing up from the soft couch, he smiled, and said lightly: "Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, sit down quickly." When the palace heard that His Highness had been healed, his heart was filled with joy. He smiled at Rui'er again: "Princess Ning, you don't have to be formal in front of this palace." If it is in the homes of ordinary people, how can there be a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law who come to visit the door, but the sister-in-law sits on it, it must be immediately cooked. Alas! This palace sometimes prefers that we are really ordinary portals, which are not as free as we are now! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked down at the tip of his shoe, not daring to look directly at the queen. When the queen asked, he answered, and he didn't dare to say anything else. In addition to being frightened by the queen's beauty, he was also afraid of being careless, losing etiquette, and annoying the queen. He thought to himself, some costume TV series are too cheating, the emperor is still alive, and the queen will "mourn the family" one by one, isn't this a curse for her husband's early death? There is also a TV series, it seems to be called "Kangxi Dynasty", in which the Queen Mother also raised her arms and shouted "My Xiaozhuang", you must know that "Xiaozhuang" is a nickname, and it is a name that only comes after death, this is good, not only curse yourself, but also predict the prophet. If he made the same mistake himself, it doesn't matter if the emperor is two hundred and five, this queen is the master of ice and snow at first glance, and she doesn't rub sand in her eyes, and I'm afraid it won't end well.

After chatting for a few words, the queen said lightly to the palace maid waiting next to her: "You all go down, this palace wants to say a few words to King Ning and his wife." The palace maids understood, agreed and all exited the hall, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

There are only three people left in the palace: the queen, Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er. For a moment, the air in the hall suddenly cooled. Zhu Youzhen guessed that the queen must have something important to say to herself. Perhaps, the mystery of the belly pocket incident is about to be revealed.
