"You are so presumptuous! The future of the Ming Dynasty is at stake. How can you eat at such a critical moment? The traitor has ulterior motives and deserves to die! Above the main hall, only I can give orders. How can I allow you, the traitor, to show off his rhetoric? Supervisor Shang Shan is not allowed to prepare dinner! No one is allowed to eat at the moment, and I will not let you, a wolf, succeed in your ambition!"
Now is the time when the two sides are competing. Chongzhen wants to confront this traitor. The traitor wants everyone to eat, but he refuses to agree. He must make clear words and deeds to control this confident traitor. ,
"Father, don't you wake up? You have lost the right to speak in the capital, and your words don't count. You are still here showing off your power and shouting. Apart from satisfying your self-esteem, do you have any other use? Isn't this self-deception? If you don't want to have dinner, you won't let others eat it, and you don't care about the officials at all. You are short of money, so you levy three rates from the poor people, with no regard for the lives of the people. You keep saying that you are not Shang Zhou and Xia Jie, but are the things you have done different from those of those who were ignorant and exposed? You have been in power for twelve years. Apart from losing your temper here, do you have other abilities? During the twelve years of your reign, the situation in the Ming Dynasty has gone from bad to worse. Apart from what was mentioned in the edict, have you really summed up your own faults? If it were really everyone else's fault, would the Ming Dynasty have become what it is today?"
This idiot emperor should never look in the mirror. He is like a crow standing on a pile of coal. He can see the blackness of others but cannot see his own blackness.
"Be brave! Don't tell me what you say, you are here to teach me how to govern the country. I have eaten more salt than you, the traitor, have walked!"
The furious Chongzhen was so angry that he couldn't speak any more, but the meaning was roughly the same. After he finished speaking, he saw the stunned expressions of the ministers, and Chongzhen had not yet thought about it.
"Since the father said this, I understand. The father wants to spit out the salt he has eaten, feed it to his son, and kill him alive, leaving him with no way out! It should be roughly Is this what you mean? But I don’t understand. Don’t you feel disgusted when your father does this? You have taken a detour for twelve years. I want to take a straight path, but you don’t let me go. Not only does my father not I let you go, but you still want to continue to take detours. The end of your road is a cliff, and below is an abyss. The end of your road is the fairyland. Not only do you want to revive the Ming Dynasty, but you also want to make the Ming Dynasty the best on earth. The most powerful country!"
"you"
"My son, I haven't finished speaking yet! Of course, you don't know what the earth is or what the universe is? Why doesn't a person sink when he stands on the ground? Why can an airship lift off even though it looks huge? What do you think about this? You don't understand, but these may not be important to you at all, because you won't think about them at all. You just want to defeat the Donglu as soon as possible and regain the lost territory. For this purpose, you can kill all the loyal ministers and good generals, and the people's You don't care whether you live or die. As long as the battle is defeated and the city is lost, the general will be executed. If a general like Zu Kuan defends in Dezhou, if Jinan falls, he will be arrested and imprisoned to be executed. You are right to do this Is he fair? Do you think if you do this, there will still be generals serving you in five years? You may not care, maybe you think Zu Kuan's death is not a pity, but the people below may not care?"
"Shut up!"
"It's their heads that need to be chopped off, not yours! Others are insignificant. No matter how high their official position or ability, they are just your victims and scapegoats! You only have yourself in your eyes, heart, and mind. , so your Ming Dynasty is only you. This is the crux of Ming Dynasty getting worse and worse! The reason is that you are a selfish, egoistic and conceited person. You think that no one in Ming Dynasty understands you, but you also If you don’t think about it carefully, have you ever understood them? Have you ever sympathized with them? You have made it impossible for the people to live. They have even eaten the bark of the trees. If they don’t reincarnate, are they still waiting to be punished by you for death? Yes. You personally turned them from good miners into rogues, don't you know? Didn't you also turn Lu Xiangsheng into an unjust ghost? Did you let the Eastern captives benefit and return in triumph? As long as you can face up to your own problems, Ming Dynasty will also As for what it is like now! You didn't let the people eat before, but now you don't let the ministers eat. First you forced the people to revolt and returned to the court, and then you forced the ministers to surrender to your son. You got the end of betrayal and alienation, are you satisfied? Already?"
"That's nonsense! You're a traitor and you're really trying to frame me!"
"Father, you have been in power for twelve years. Do you still use your sons and ministers to frame the things you have done? The dead witnesses are Lu Xiangsheng, and the living witnesses are Zu Kuan, Ni Chong, Chen Guowei and others. If these are not enough, There are thousands of impoverished people. Do you believe that they can eat you alive without any condiments, or even salt? If you have something to say from the bottom of your heart, please go and tell the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie! Go! Go talk to the calamity people who sold their sons and cannibalize their daughters! Go talk to the ancestors! Father, what you have done is sorry for Grandpa Taizu, and for millions of poor people, and for being so brave and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. civil servants and generals!"
"It's not your turn to speak, you bastard!"
"Because of your willfulness and insistence, no one in the court dares to tell the truth, the truth, or what is in your heart. They are all lies, clichés, and official words to deal with you. The poor people have no one to speak for them. Even if you did, you would not You will not adopt it. Instead, you will continue to collect three wages from the people regardless of their life and death. Do you want to bring back all the people in the world before you can feel at ease? Will you say with sorrow that this is the people of the world? You are betraying me, not that I am betraying the world? If I tell the truth today, you will execute me. If someone else tells the truth, you still can't show that person and let him go? I'm afraid that you are a wise king. It is already full of leaking holes. Everyone has seen it, but you are still dreaming about ZTE! You are said to be a foolish king, and you are furious. But the people of the Ming Dynasty are almost homeless. Loyal ministers The good generals are almost dead. Can you tell the ministers where you are as a wise king? Can you only approve memorials and patch dragon robes? Do you still need to do this? You can find a eunuch in charge of rituals to do it. Very good! Originally I was just disappointed with you, but judging from your reaction, I have learned the lesson and despaired of you. When you governed the Ming Dynasty, you really ruled to death! Thousands of people were destroyed Put to death, put to death the loyal ministers and good generals, just short of putting to death the birds and beasts! In the end, I will really become your Ming Dynasty, just an empty shell, and the Donglu will have access to these thousands of miles of land at their fingertips after entering the pass!"
"you"
Nizi's words almost made Chongzhen choke. He felt that his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys were aching in his body cavity. His vision suddenly became blurry and he couldn't help but lean back. Fortunately, he was supported by the dragon chair, so he didn't fall directly. Fall to the ground.
"Brother Xun, stop saying a few words, I'll make your father angry!"
Empress Zhou frowned slightly, knowing in her heart that her son was telling the truth, but her words were indeed a bit excessive. Her husband had not yet recovered from a serious illness, and could not bear such fierce remarks, so she could only discipline her son a little verbally.
"It's okay! My dragon body is fine! Let's see what other dirty words you can throw at me!"
At this point, Chongzhen no longer had the energy to fight back, and could only lie half-lying on the dragon chair to catch his breath. However, he had no intention of giving in. If he lost today, he would not even have the chance to make a comeback in the future.
"Father, my son is not talented. I am willing to take out ten million taels of silver from the East Palace account to honor my father. As long as my father agrees to move to Nandu! The time limit is ten days. Every day that passes, one million taels will be reduced. Two pieces of silver. After ten days, I will no longer be filial to my father."
Isn't this second-rate emperor willing to temper his temper?
Easy to handle!
Let’s also set up a countdown!
The countdown is over and you won’t get even a tael of silver!
"That's all my money!"
While Chongzhen was surprised by the sky-high price offered by the traitor, he also regarded the money as his own private property. The traitor was just pretending to be generous on his behalf.
"Father, one million taels of this money came from my son selling overseas land to the vassal king. The remaining two million taels came from my borrowed money. Not a single tael of silver is yours. You just need to nod now. If you agree to move to Nandu, this huge sum of money will be yours!"
A certain prince originally wanted to give Chongzhen five million taels, but he probably couldn't impress him, so he simply increased the stakes and doubled it to see if he would be knocked unconscious by this mountain of silver.
"You, I, I, will never"
When Chongzhen heard that Nizi said that this huge sum of money had nothing to do with him, and was just showing off to himself his seemingly extraordinary ability to make money, Chongzhen immediately became so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"Your Majesty! It's important to take care of your dragon body! I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
Concubine Tian suddenly interrupted. She very much hoped that her husband would move to Nandu. That was Jiangnan. Both the climate and the current situation were much better than here in the capital.
What a huge amount of money that is! With ten million taels of silver, you can spend it however you want when you arrive in Nandu, so why should your husband compete with the prince?
Thinking about it, the only person in the world who can't live with ten million taels of silver is her husband. Concubine Tian felt very helpless.
"Don't let this traitor fool you. He is clearly deceiving me! I am determined not to cough."
Chongzhen never expected to get ten million taels of silver from his son. Unfortunately, he still worried about hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every day, and even his hair turned gray from worry.
"Father! Don't refuse. If you don't let your sons govern the Ming Dynasty, why don't you let your sons honor you? Look at your dragon robe. Not to mention the patches, the patches are not symmetrical. It’s very imperfect. Why don’t you use your filial money to buy a good piece of fabric and put a few more patches on your dragon robe?”
If a certain prince could piss off the second-rate emperor to death, that would be a great achievement. But unfortunately, the blame-dumping father, who has a tougher life than Xiaoqiang, just doesn't kick his legs.
"You are so angry at me!"
Chongzhen almost choked to death because of this rebellious son. What he said was so irritating. He had never seen a child who was so disobedient to his father.
"Brother Xang!"
Queen Zhou hurriedly told her eldest son to stop. It would be better not to mention the patch. If she did, it would definitely make her husband anxious and angry, especially since the patch on the dragon robe was made by her. Unexpectedly, her son would take advantage of it at this time.
"Mother, I won't talk about the patching. Father, the braised pork rice I asked Shang Shan to cook is delicious. After eating it once, I want to eat it a second time. Why don't you try it first? It’s guaranteed to be much more delicious than your vegetarian dishes taken from the goose belly!”
A certain prince was very skillful in his speech. He specially selected a certain emperor's heart to prick the needle, making sure that every puncture was accurate and would not miss the mark at all.
Because the Erhuo Emperor called on his queen to be frugal, but he had no appetite for vegetarian dishes, the Superintendent of Food and Beverage prepared a special dish, which was to stuff the vegetables into the goose belly and cook them before taking them out. Naturally, the taste of the vegetarian dishes would not be the same. Too bad.
"Cough cough cough cough you"
This traitor is really going to piss me off to death!
Chongzhen coughed and wanted to fight back, but for a while he couldn't think of the right words for Zhenzi, not to mention that his trachea didn't allow him to talk much.
"Brother Xang, don't say much!"
Empress Zhou finally couldn't stop. Although her son was very good at running the country, which made her very happy, she could not ignore the etiquette and mock her husband like this in the court.
"Okay! Queen Mother! Father, do you agree to move to Nandu before the meal, or do you agree to move to Nandu after the meal? As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. If you can agree to move to Nandu in advance, maybe you can still Two more days to live!”
"Two days" means restriction, please don't take it seriously!
To be honest, I will drink more iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat.
"You cough, you bastard"
Is this still human language?
Two more days to live?
Is that what you mean?
Doesn't the meaning between the lines of this naughty child mean that he hopes that he will die soon?
no!
I can't die!
We really need to work hard to revive the Ming Dynasty!
We must not let this traitor succeed!
"Father, don't worry. I didn't mention my death at all! I'm unfilial. I wish you a long life and may you be the emperor for a hundred years!"
Since you are not allowed to mention patches or meals, you can always mention being the emperor, right?
Wouldn't this make the blame-sucker dad more jealous again?
"Hum, cough!"
Chongzhen had been humiliated so much in his life, one after another, just like the waves crashing on the shore. This traitor's tongue was more than ten times sharper than that of the censor.
"Father, please don't get angry. Since your father doesn't want to listen, I can just keep silent. To avoid quarrels, just sign the imperial edict agreeing to move to Nandu. I won't mention it anymore. You Is this okay?"
The empty words are unfounded, but the black letter of the imperial edict is reliable.
Brothers have to settle accounts openly, let alone between father and son.
As long as you agree to sign, everything will be fine.
"You!"
Chongzhen reluctantly raised a hand and wanted to scold this traitor, but he just screamed and fainted.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty?"
Seeing this, Queen Zhou hurriedly called out twice, but her husband didn't respond at all. She was immediately frightened and turned pale, thinking that something serious had happened.
"Don't worry, mother! My father just fainted and will wake up again later!"
A certain prince has seen this kind of thing happen too often. The blame-shifting father's acting skills are average and his IQ is not high, so it is unlikely that he is pretending to be faint. Even if he is really faint, for him, it is just a daily routine.
Get struck by lightning first!
Then he was electrocuted!
Get knocked out again!
If he can still be knocked unconscious by a car, it will be an unprecedented "Big Four"! 11
