"Brother Xun, are you starving?" About half an hour later, the beautiful mother came back. She felt particularly distressed when she saw the ignorant eldest son waiting for feeding on the bed. She tilted her head slightly and looked slightly stunned at the waiter behind her. He shouted and ordered: "Hurry up and serve the royal meal!"
Before he finished speaking, several young eunuchs filed in from outside. Each of them held a tray, lowered his head, and without daring to speak, they placed the dishes gently and left. They are lucky to be able to deliver meals to Kunning Palace. Even if the master praises the delicious food for half a sentence and the eunuch relays it, they will feel extremely benefited.
Yao Ji asked about the fragrance and got out of bed. He walked closer and looked at the dishes on the table in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little difficult to evaluate because the dishes were so small and the size was completely tailor-made for kindergarten children.
A small plate of tofu (two pieces of tofu), a small plate of cabbage (just a large green leaf, no stems), a small bowl of chicken soup (only a piece of meat in it), a small bowl of lean meat porridge (visually check that the lean meat is not shredded) More than ten sticks), a small plate of yellow pastry (two pieces), and a small bowl of soup made of unknown ingredients.
Just this few dishes are in mini size. It seems that any waiter in the future can serve them all at once. It is really royal to use six little eunuchs to deliver the food to themselves. Judging from their appearance, they are still childish, and they have entered the palace to serve as the royal catering boy. If they can't bear it, they can be rewarded by the queen mother with five taels of silver each.
In order to express his filial piety, the prince could only pout his face and said with some embarrassment: "...Mother, this seems to be a bit rare. If my son eats it, won't the queen be starving?"
The wonderful woman was greatly moved after hearing this. Although Brother Xun, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was not as active as usual, he was still thinking of herself in her heart. She showed a loving smile and said gently and gently: "Brother Xun has a heart, and the queen is not hungry." , Brother Hong, use it quickly, if it’s not enough, just send someone to serve it!”
Yao Ji seemed very unhappy, sat down on the chair, and said solemnly: "The queen has not touched her at all, how can the sons and ministers use it alone? If the queen does not use it, the sons and ministers will not use it either!"
Then he pouted his little mouth angrily, put his two little hands on his thighs, and protested by sitting quietly. Filial piety comes first. After resurrecting with full health, it is extremely important to win the favor of the queen.
Seeing that the prince insisted on eating together with the empress, Xi'er intervened at the right time: "The empress has not eaten lunch, please take care of yourself!"
If someone else reminded her like this, it would inevitably cause the queen's displeasure. Xi'er was her personal maid, and her talkativeness was out of good intentions, so the master did not lose his temper.
"Holy Dragon Body..." The wonderful woman was about to say the word "bad", and then said "I have no appetite yet". She also thought that her eldest son was still in front of her, so it was inappropriate to mention this matter, so she stopped talking. .
Yaoji originally wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the emperor who was blaming the blame, but now he finally hit the target. He couldn't miss it. His eyes widened immediately, and he pretended to be a filial son and asked: "Mother, queen , how is father?"
The wonderful woman bit her vermilion lips tightly with her white teeth, her face changed slightly, her eyes flashed, she really regretted the few words she just said. Seeing her son urging her, she had to say, and hesitated for a few seconds. Then he said truthfully: "Brother Hong, the imperial doctor said that your father still needs to rest!"
Ever since the two men were struck by lightning while enjoying the rain in front of the Qianqing Palace and fell unconscious, Queen Zhou has been praying all the time for her husband and eldest son to wake up as soon as possible. Now Brother Xang has successfully survived this disaster. Although his mind is a little slow, he is still safe and sound. , I don’t know when Long Live Lord will be able to...
Yao Ji immediately understood what Miao Fu’s mother meant. The condition of the blame-blaming father should be similar to her previous condition, or exactly the same. If he falls into a long-term coma and cannot extricate himself, he will be like a brand new vegetative state. It may be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and even for millions of people.
Generally speaking, everyone agrees that Chongzhen was a diligent and good emperor who wanted to turn the tide when the building was about to collapse. Unfortunately, due to internal and external troubles, his success failed in the end. The country was ruined and the family was destroyed, except for the one-armed nun Changping. Except for the princess, the whole family sacrificed their lives for justice.
So here comes the most critical question, was Chongzhen a wise king or a faint king?
From ancient times to the present, there have been many types of foolish kings, but they generally have three major personality traits--willful, obstinate, unkind, and unkind.
Since he ascended the throne as Dabao, Chongzhen has issued orders according to his own thinking logic. However, the facts always deviate greatly from his settings.
He believed that Yuan Chonghuan, who rushed to the aid of the capital, showed signs of rebellion, so he was imprisoned and even sent to Lingchi without considering the consequences of doing so. Even if Yuan Chonghuan was like Nian Gengyao later, he should be like Yongzheng and wait until the victory was won. Settle accounts after the fall.
He felt that Sun Chuanting, who had defeated Li Zicheng, was arrogant, so he was imprisoned for three years. During this period, Li Ni's power expanded rapidly and finally became unstoppable until the army conquered the capital in one fell swoop, leading to the Ming Dynasty that lasted for more than two hundred years. The country was defeated.
He concluded that the powerful Wei Zhongxian had deceived his superiors, so he immediately killed him, thus turning the conflict between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party into a conflict between the emperor and the latter. Faced with the attack by the Donglin scholars, he was unable to resist. He wanted to collect industrial and commercial taxes, but he did not dare to give orders. He could only bully the powerless poor people, which eventually led to the outbreak of a large-scale rebellion in the northwest, which affected many people. Nationwide.
Not only was he stubborn and determined to have his own way, he also bullied the weak and feared the strong, and relied on the strong to bully the weak. This was the case before Chongzhen's death.
During last year's battle to prevent the Qing army from entering the fortress, Chongzhen had great trust in the eunuch Gao Qiqian, who was "quite knowledgeable about military affairs." He appointed Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the division, but handed over the military power to the eunuch. Gao Qiqian's mentality of passively avoiding war has long been obvious. If exposed, Lu Xiangsheng was forced to lead 5,000 Tianxiong troops and 30,000 Jianzhou cavalry in a bloody battle to the end, until he died on the battlefield, causing the Ming court to lose another powerful general.
Earlier in the period, Cao Wenzhao, another general who was good at fighting, repeatedly defeated the peasant army, but did not receive corresponding awards. Just because he was unfavorable to the Qing army, he was convicted and sent to a guard station in the border area. This move is simply unbelievable. From Dai Zui's meritorious service to his final death in battle, Cao Wenzhao led fewer troops than Lu Xiangsheng, only three thousand men.
The "Five-Year Ping Liao" plan announced by Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning of taking office actually made His Majesty the Emperor overjoyed. Little did they know that they did not have the national power and military power of the Shenzong period, but they wanted to quickly achieve the strategic goals of the late Shenzong period. What kind of childish talk is this? For empty promises that completely deviate from the situation and facts, you can still get Chongzhen's support and support.
There are only two possibilities for being able to achieve this, either Chongzhen's IQ is lower than ordinary people and he ignores the current military strength of both sides. Either Yuan Chonghuan is really good at deceiving, and he is a typical fool deceiving a big fool. As for the emperor himself, in the final analysis, he only likes to listen to the reports he likes. Even if other ministers think that this plan is impossible to succeed, he can still make Chongzhen believe it wishfully, which is complete self-deception.
During the seventeen years of Emperor Chongzhen's reign, he replaced nearly fifty cabinet ministers, fourteen war ministers, and more than ten governors and governors who committed crimes or committed suicide. The number of governors who died was almost the same as the former.
As long as the war was unfavorable, the emperor would show no mercy to the "foolish and incompetent" ministers. He would scold and imprison them at the least, and behead and torture him at the worst. His cruelty was no less cruel than any tyrant in history.
The most pitiful thing is that Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, was ordered by the emperor to negotiate peace with the Qing army. After the matter was exposed, he became the scapegoat of his superiors. He was infamy and was executed soon after.
No wonder some people say that Chongzhen’s number one enemy is neither the Qing army nor the rebels, but the Minister of War. The two are completely in love with each other and kill each other...
Chongzhen basically did what Wei Zhongxian did to officials. What’s even more astonishing is that even if I haven’t done it for nine thousand years, I have done it!
There is also a very obvious behavioral characteristic of the foolish king - appointing traitors!
This is an irrefutable fact for anyone, because most of the chief ministers appointed by Chongzhen were selfish and excluded those who dissent.
Zhu Youjian reigned for seventeen years, and Wen Tiren served as the chief minister (prime minister) for eight years. However, Chongzhen never dreamed that the chief minister of the cabinet, who was highly valued by him, was actually a treacherous, scheming, troublemaker, and harmed the country. The great traitor who misled the people.
In order to get rid of Qian Qianyi, who was more popular than himself in joining the cabinet, he directly exposed him in the Wenhua Hall for forming a party for personal gain and accepting bribes. When his colleagues accused him of doing the same thing as Qian Qianyi, Wen Tiren accused the other party of taking revenge for personal gain, and deceived Chongzhen into believing it.
Qian Qianyi had no chance to enter the cabinet, and Zhou Yanru was squeezed out by Wen Tiren. It was not because these two people were loyal to the emperor and patriotic and did not understand the ways of officialdom. But Wen Tiren was more cunning and cunning than the two of them, and he knew better how to please the emperor.
It is such a chief minister who has no suggestions for the Ming Dynasty, but has been favored by Chongzhen for a long time. How much better than Hu Hai relying on Zhao Gao, and Yang Guang relying on Yu Wenhuaji?
Hu Hai and Yang Guang are both defined as absolute kings of subjugation, so what kind of thing is Chongzhen, who also values treacherous ministers?
Forget it if he is a fool like Emperor Hui of Jin who only knows how to eat minced meat. The emperor who is recognized as diligent cannot be an idiot and mentally retarded, right?
Only a mentally retarded person would appoint Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan and others one after another. Don't forget that Xue Guoguan, the current chief minister, is also inserted in the middle. These people, without exception, are all outright traitors.
During the reign of Chongzhen, there were very few chief assistants who were self-denial and dedicated to the public affairs, such as the bachelor Han Xu, and most of them were people like Wen Tiren.
It seems that the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not only a fool, but also a blind man, who did not even have the most basic ability to recognize people.
With Chongzhen's IQ, he couldn't tell who was a traitor and who was a loyal person!
The more diligent this fool is, the greater the harm he will do to the country and its people.
He is the first person in a thousand years to be so diligent that he drives himself to pieces!
After knowing the news that the "big bug" is traveling on a crane, millions of people will definitely be overjoyed.
so……
"Daddy, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, please stay in bed a little longer!"
Yaoji just thought so in his heart and did not dare to say it in front of the beautiful queen mother, otherwise something earth-shattering would have to happen.
But as the eldest son of the most capable emperor in history, is he going to do something?
In case you don’t even have porridge in a few years, you can only drink the northwest wind!
