Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 16
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help being very happy, and quickly said: "Today is the third day of March in the fifteenth year."

Is it the third day of March in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen?Liu Weichao thought in his heart, when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, so he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "It should be that my takeaway has arrived, I'll eat first, let's talk later!"

This time, he didn't cut off the communication immediately.

This kind of impolite thing is generally rarely done. Before, it was because of an adventure.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't dare to delay Liu Weichao's side, so he quickly replied: "Okay, go and eat!"

After hanging up the communication, he held his mobile phone and thought in his heart: It seems that Liu Weichao should also be a wealthy family, at least there is no shortage of servants, no wonder he can feel that he has extraordinary knowledge and confidence in his conversation!
After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen quickly thought about what Liu Weichao said to him just now. Is the emperor the emperor of the Zhu family, or the emperor of the people of Ming Dynasty? What does it mean?
This kind of problem, if it was changed from before, he would never have to think about it.Even if someone asked such a question, he might fly into a rage and ask for his head!

The emperor is of course the emperor of the Zhu family, and it was the world that was brought down by the emperor Taizu back then. This is an ironclad fact!

However, the current Emperor Chongzhen has experienced the feeling of the end of the dynasty, and knows that in two years, the Ming Dynasty will perish.

Faced with the helplessness of the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty where wars were raging everywhere, Emperor Chongzhen's mentality was different.

The most important thing is that the person who said this is more than three hundred years later. In that era, it was an era that was completely like a fairy, even more powerful than the legendary fairy. In this case, Emperor Chongzhen would certainly consider it carefully!
However, on this issue, Liu Weichao only briefly explained to Emperor Chongzhen based on his own feelings. At most, it can only be regarded as throwing a seed of doubt to Emperor Chongzhen.

……

After Emperor Chongzhen finished bathing, it was already evening, and Empress Zhou personally served him, which was regarded as supervising his meals and maintaining his body.

At this moment, Wang Chengen came back.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Empress Zhou, and then asked in front of her, "I asked you to ask about Jiading Bo?"

Wang Chengen secretly glanced at Empress Zhou who heard the sound and looked at him, and then replied truthfully: "After the servant delivered the decree, it's okay to persuade and explain the truth, but Jiadingbo just said that the family has no money!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately frowned. Didn't he expect him to be like this?

Queen Zhou listened to it, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

The news about the emperor's decree to raise money from civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives, Xungui, has spread, and she certainly knows about it.

Empress Zhou just didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would ask his father to donate first to take the lead.

And how could she not know the character of her father!

So, she said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, let me call him into the palace to talk about it! He should take the lead in this matter!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "The empress is still wise, so I will leave this matter to you!"

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Tomorrow morning, at least before noon, he must donate money with great fanfare, as an example for all officials and other royal family members!"

Queen Zhou listened and nodded to show that she understood.

But then, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, don't you have that treasure? Can the people in it turn stones into gold? If they have immortal skills, can you let him teach them a thing or two?" , In this way, the imperial court will not be short of money!"

When Wang Chengen heard it, his ears immediately perked up. He also wanted to know how miraculous the thing about the treasure bestowed by the Emperor Taizu was?
Emperor Chongzhen already knew at this time that Liu Weichao was not a fairy at all, but a person hundreds of years later.How could it be possible to have the immortal technique of turning stones into gold!

However, he will not tell the truth to others.

Therefore, in the expectant eyes of Empress Zhou, he said lightly: "How can immortal arts be passed on? If you can learn it, you can learn it? Now that the court is anxious to spend money, do you want me to wait forever?"

The implication is that the fundraising this time is planned.

Empress Zhou did not doubt that he was there, on the contrary, she was more considerate of Emperor Chongzhen's difficulties.

Because she knew that Emperor Chongzhen was still worried that the people inside the treasure would not help him.Besides, the fairy art of turning stone into gold is indeed not passed on.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhou looked at the sky, stood up and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "I'd better go and do this now!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded in relief and said, "The empress knows my difficulties, and is very pleased to be able to take care of my needs!"

But as soon as Queen Zhou left, he winked at Wang Chengen.

The meaning is obvious, just follow what he explained before, let Wang Chengen secretly monitor.

Naturally, Wang Chengen understood this and resigned immediately.

…………

After dark, Empress Zhou came to report to Emperor Chongzhen and said to him, "Your Majesty, he has promised to donate [-] taels of silver when he goes to court tomorrow!"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised to hear that, isn't it five thousand taels?
But then I thought about it, and felt that the history books of later generations may not be correct, so I nodded and said with a little relief: "The empress has worked hard, I hope I can get a good start and get some more silver taels, so that the court situation can be better."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the mountain of memorials in front of him, and said with a sigh: "Natural disasters, military disasters, they are all memorials asking for money, it is really difficult for me!"

Of course Empress Zhou knew that the country's affairs were difficult, and she sighed when she heard the sound, not daring to interrupt Emperor Chongzhen's review of the memorial, but said: "Your Majesty, I was very tired yesterday, so remember to rest early today!"

"I know!" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said something casually, and began to review the memorials again.

When Queen Zhou saw her, she didn't speak any more, and withdrew with a little worry.

She didn't know that when she exited the palace, Emperor Chongzhen actually looked up at her, a little hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After a while, Wang Chengen came over.

The maids serving Emperor Chongzhen in the palace were all arranged by Wang Chengen. This was one of the measures that Emperor Chongzhen took after Liu Weichao reminded him.

Now he only believes in Wang Cheng'en in the palace.

"How is it?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked when he saw it.

Wang Chengen heard this, and immediately played: "The Queen gave Jiadingbo some jewelry, and the servants don't know how much it can be converted into. It seems... It seems that when the Queen saw Jiadingbo, she got angry and her voice was a bit loud!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face was a bit ugly, but he didn't say anything, he just told Wang Chengen: "Keep watching for me!"

"Your servant complies with the order!" Wang Chengen answered quickly after hearing this, and then added, "The servant has already arranged people outside the palace, and you will receive the news when the palace gate opens tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded, and then waved all of them to retreat. Then, he took out his mobile phone and contacted Liu Weichao.

The video was connected quickly, and Emperor Chongzhen was very curious when he saw it.
