Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 245 Angrily criticized Liu Rushi

"Your Majesty intends to emulate the virtues of Yao and Shun, think of the wisdom of the king of literature, rule the world with filial piety, and promote the righteousness of education." Zhu Youjian threw the article on Liu Rushi's face as he read it, and roared: "What kind of nonsense article are you writing?" Yao and Shun, King Wen, ask the people in the world, how many people know about King Yao and Shun Wen, and rule the world with filial piety, why don’t you rule your brain! I have high hopes for you, thinking that although you are a mere female, you are also a learned Confucian Scholars, I also made many literati friends in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, I told you so much. What kind of article did you hand in to me? The people read it! It is easy to understand, hits the current situation, and understands it!"

It was the first time Liu Rushi saw Zhu Youjian so furious, and he was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer.

Although she came from a humble background, she has never been reprimanded like this since she was a child. She has always had an air of arrogance. Seeking Knowledge, she is still very grateful to Zhu Youjian, and she is very kind to Zhu Youjian. She thinks that His Majesty uses talents in an eclectic manner, and letting herself host the "Seeking Knowledge" publication is undoubtedly an affirmation of her talent and learning.

Moreover, the first article that Zhu Youjian read at this moment was specially prepared by her, and she wrote it herself. She even invited the second place Xu Xianqing to comment on Fuzheng. Unexpectedly, after reading the first sentence, His Majesty Zhu Youjian directly said that what she wrote was nonsense.

Tears welled up in Liu Rushi's eyes for a moment, and he pleaded guilty on the prostration woodenly: "My daughter is dull, please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Chen Yuanyuan was dumbfounded for a moment, she didn't expect that His Majesty summoned Liu Rushi to enter the palace in secret, but it was really just to read the article, and directly criticized him severely.

Empress Zhou didn't know how to persuade her, and she didn't know whether it was a matter of the harem or a matter of the former court.

Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan realized that she shouldn't have appeared so recklessly, because it didn't seem like her younger brother's love for beauty caused a estrangement from the queen's family affairs, it seemed to be a court affair.

Zhu Youjian came down and patted Chen Yuanyuan on the shoulder: "The Four Treasures of the Study will serve you!"

"Abiding by the decree", Chen Yuanyuan hurried to get the four treasures of the study, and put them on Zhu Youjian's imperial case. Zhu Youjian asked Liu Rushi to come forward, and then spread out a piece of rice paper, and wrote "Da Ming", Terms such as "Manchu", "Zhang Xianzhong", "common people", "gentry", "land", "money and food" began to analyze the power structure, class structure and interests of the whole world for Liu Rushi.

No one would have thought that Zhu Youjian secretly summoned famous Qinhuai prostitutes like Liu Rushi not just for the sake of beauty, but that he was just trying to cover up his thoughts of future generations through this way.

Whether it is Liu Rushi, Li Xiangjun, or Liu Jingting, these people are all intellectuals who have a foundation in knowledge and culture, but are not regarded as intellectuals in this era.

These people have no obligation to uphold Confucian etiquette, nor do they have the original motivation to uphold etiquette. They just follow the trend and echo the orthodox learning advocated by literati and officials. Orthodox learning is very disgusting, and it is easier for Zhu Youjian to explain these ideas from later generations to Liu Rushi than to Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying.

Chen Yuanyuan stood aside and heard it clearly. She never thought that His Majesty would say so many things she didn't know. She couldn't understand terms such as politics and economy that she didn't understand at all. Not interested, but now she only likes to see Zhu Youjian tirelessly preaching to Liu Rushi.

"At this moment, His Majesty's eyes are so focused and enthusiastic, but Sister Liu seems to be like a stupid child, and His Majesty knocked her head several times." Many years later, Chen Yuanyuan recalled the scene at this time in her memoir.

Empress Zhou and Empress Yi'an left Qianqing Palace. They couldn't understand Zhu Youjian's purpose, but they also envied Liu Rushi to be preached by His Majesty at this moment. In their life, they had never been so respected by a man. When Zun taught, especially Queen Zhou, in her memory, His Majesty never seemed to discuss these topics with herself.

As soon as everyone left, only Zhu Youjian, Chen Yuanyuan and a group of eunuchs were left in Nuoda's Qianqing Palace.

"Chen Yuanyuan, come here!" Zhu Youjian yelled sharply, then waved his hand to let the other maids and eunuchs push down.

Chen Yuanyuan was really a little scared at this moment, letting the queen know that Liu Rushi was secretly called into the palace by His Majesty was her instinctive reaction to keep her position beside Zhu Youjian, but she did not expect that His Majesty still saw the clues.

"What is your majesty's order?" Chen Yuanyuan lowered her head timidly and asked, pinching the folds of the skirt with her hands.

Zhu Youjian handed over a silk handkerchief: "Wipe off your sweat, after you finish wiping off your sweat, you can explain to me well", Zhu Youjian stood up as he said that, walked outside, and saw a few court eunuchs hiding behind the door He shouted: "Get out, don't listen to the wall here!"

As soon as Zhu Youjian closed the door, he locked it directly.

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, looked at Chen Yuanyuan's nervous and terrified face, and took a feather duster in his hand: "Tell me, when did you become a queen?"

"No, the servant did not become a queen, the servant only", Chen Yuanyuan replied timidly.

"You still don't admit it, do you really think that I was too gentle with you before, and you don't think that I will do anything to you, do you?" Zhu Youjian's face turned cold when he said that, and he hugged Chen Yuanyuan directly into the She wrapped her arms around Chen Yuanyuan's waist with her left hand, and tore off her sweat towel with her right hand: "I asked you to be on duty in the Qianqing Palace, not to send a letter to the empress, do you believe it or not? This will get rid of you!"

Chen Yuanyuan's face turned pale with fright, and she felt an evil hand reaching into her lapel, which made her twitch instinctively: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I just, I just fell in love with Your Majesty, and I don't want her to come to Your Majesty's side." .”

"I love to hear these words. Next, understand what you should do yourself. You don't need me to teach you." Zhu Youjian sat back directly, staring at Chen Yuanyuan with fiery eyes.

"Well, this servant understands." Chen Yuanyuan took off his skirt, walked towards Zhu Youjian slowly, and moved closer to Zhu Youjian on his own initiative.

Zhu Youjian didn't know how long he wanted Chen Yuanyuan. It was not until the next day, when the sky was about to dawn, that Zhu Youjian reluctantly fell asleep. When the sun was rising, he had to wake up and be wary of Chen Yuanyuan in his arms: "In the future If the matter of the Qianqing Palace is revealed again, what I want is not only your body, but your life! Who was that eunuch yesterday, and he will be transferred back to the Kunning Palace. No one is allowed in the Qianqing Palace in the future The eyeliner appeared, including Empress Empress!"
