Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 543

The Ming Dynasty is extremely short of talents in various fields. It takes time to cultivate these talents. It is not possible to see the corresponding results in three to five years. What Emperor Chongzhen can do is to slowly Wait, continue to invest in various resources.

Kunning Palace.

"Queen, don't feel tired raising two more children."

Emperor Chongzhen showed a smile on his face, held Queen Zhou's hand, and said as he walked, "I still have to worry about the allocation of internal funds, and I have to take care of myself. Don't worry too much."

"It's all right, Your Majesty."

Empress Zhou smiled and said: "Dingguo and Sen'er are very sensible, which makes the concubines feel at ease. Compared with His Majesty's handling of state affairs, these concubines are nothing."

"That's good."

Emperor Chongzhen looked up and saw Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen teasing Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cixuan, and the smiles on his face became even bigger.

At this time, Li Dingguo was 9 years old and Zheng Sen was 6 years old. Who can imagine what these two children in front of them will achieve when they grow up.

"Dingguo and Sen'er are both hard-fated children."

Empress Zhou showed pity, looked at Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen, frowned slightly and said, "Dingguo's parents both died of illness, but Sen'er's mother was detained on Wa Island.

I don't know how cruel that Zheng Zhilong is, but..."

"It's all caused by this world."

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: "Since you are raised in the palace, you should treat them as your own children, let them grow up without worry, learn knowledge, and train them to become talents.

Make them feel like home.

Tell the eunuchs and maids of Kunning Palace that anyone who dares to treat Dingguo and Sen'er harshly will be killed with a stick!
I am busy with government affairs, so I may not have much time to look after them. The queen still needs to take more care, and don't make them stay reserved in the palace. "

"Relax, Your Majesty."

Empress Zhou nodded and said: "The concubines will treat them as their own children, and whoever dares to bully them, the concubines will not spare them lightly.

What's more, Cijiong and Cixuan, it is also a good thing to have two more brothers.

But Your Majesty, if the civil servants from the Outer Court know that Dingguo and Sen'er are raised in the palace, will it be..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hands: "If I don't even have the right to make decisions about the Forbidden City, then what is this emperor?"

Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen are rare and handsome talents, and Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot of thought in order to gather them by his side.

Even if they are still very young now, you can slowly train them and expose them to new levels of fields. When they grow up, they will surely achieve extraordinary results.

But by that time, Daming will either succeed in his plan to reform, or his country will be overthrown.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that the former had more hope. After all, the current Ming Dynasty was undergoing changes quietly. Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen were also witnesses of the times.

Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen sensed that someone was coming, and subconsciously took a look. After seeing that it was the emperor, they stood up in a panic, and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou in salute.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Meet the Queen."

Speaking of it, Li Dingguo had been in the palace for a longer time, but after coming to the palace, he was still cautious everywhere, after all, he had never experienced this before.

"Okay, don't be so disciplined at home."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and bent down to pull them up. Seeing that the knees of the two were stained with dust, he stretched out his hand to pat them down.

The eunuchs and maids such as Wang Cheng'en, who were accompanying them, were surprised and panicked when they saw this behind the scenes. They wanted to go forward, but they didn't dare to go up, remembering what the emperor said.

"I've been busy with government affairs recently and haven't come back. Are you used to eating and lodging in the palace?" Emperor Chongzhen stroked the heads of Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen, and said with a smile: "Besides playing, you can't relax in your homework. When you grow up, Always have a skill.”

Zheng Sen was a little nervous, subconsciously leaning against Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo behaved more normally.

Alas, it's all this damn world.

Seeing Zheng Sen and Li Dingguo like this, Emperor Chongzhen secretly sighed in his heart, if there were no disasters and rebellions in Ming Dynasty, then so many people would not have died.

"Your Majesty, we are fine in the palace."

Li Dingguo raised his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Mother...the empress will test our homework every day, but some of the homework I have learned is puzzling, like '×', '÷', '1 ', '2' these symbols, I always feel a bit incomprehensible, and they are different from the skills we Da Ming taught."

"is it?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go into the palace. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I can help you answer your questions."

"really?"

Zheng Sen was surprised at this moment: "Your Majesty, do you still understand this?"

"Haha~"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Silly boy, I compiled these, so how could you not understand?"

It seems that he chatted speculatively with Emperor Chongzhen, and Zheng Sen's restraint gradually became less.

After all, for him, at such a young age, he returned to Fujian from Japan, and then sent to the capital from Fujian. These special experiences made him develop a sensitive heart despite his young age.

"Actually, when we learn knowledge, we must understand a truth. What it can bring us, just like these numbers and symbols, seem to be quite different from our Ming's arithmetic..."

Empress Zhou hugged the sleeping Zhu Cixuan, and Wang Chengen hugged the babbling Zhu Cijiong, watching Emperor Chongzhen sitting on a chair, teaching Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen patiently, while the two little guys listened intently, even from time to time He also raised some doubts of his own. This very common scene made Queen Zhou and the others smile.

With the civil servants of the foreign dynasty, there were too many intrigues and calculations, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't like the atmosphere. On the contrary, returning to Kunning Palace could make him relax.

At least none of the intrigue here.

"Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

Zheng Sen suddenly said pleasantly: "Brother Dingguo and I, if we can learn this, can we let us set off fireworks on the day of Zhengdan?"

"of course."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and touched Zheng Sen's little head, "I not only asked you to set off fireworks, but also gave you lucky money when the time comes, but at that time, you have to kowtow to me, haha..."

"Okay."

Zheng Sen laughed.

Seeing Zheng Sen like this, Li Dingguo, who was standing beside him, had a smile on his face.

"When I am not so busy in the future, I will take you out of the palace." Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "You can't just stay in the palace and grow up, but also see more about the world outside the palace. You have to know a lot of knowledge. It depends on your own eyes, to see, to learn."
