Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 421 Kiss Me
After hearing Zhu Youjian's affectionate words, Queen Zhou was a little happy and smiled slightly.

She felt in a daze that she hadn't heard such kind and kind words from the emperor Zhu Youjian for a long time.

Zhu Youjian also smiled slightly. He stroked the silky and fair hands of Queen Zhou. He didn't know what he belonged to Queen Zhou at this time.

Is the monarch?Or a husband, or a friend who depends on each other, or a younger brother who is mentally older?
Frankly speaking, Zhu Youjian was not a mature woman control in his previous life, and of course he was not a loli control. He always had a kind of slowness almost low EQ in the relationship between men and women.

But he knew that he was the emperor now, the closest person to Queen Zhou, so he boldly stroked Zhou's hand and looked at her boldly.

However, in the eyes of Empress Zhou, Zhu Youjian is the only person she needs to miss in this world.

Even though she has been a queen for so many years, she still misses the innocent relationship she had with Zhu Youjian when she was young.

Therefore, at this moment, at this moment when everyone is relaxed, Queen Zhou suddenly let go of her former dignity, like a little girl, and put her lotus root arm on Zhu Youjian's shoulder when there was no one around. :"kiss Me!"

Zhu Youjian seemed to be immobilized by someone's spell. He couldn't believe that this was what Queen Zhou said. He looked at her eyes as bright as deep pools, her slightly pursed lips, and her pretty smile.

I don't know when, he seemed to feel that he was being teased by a young girl who was in love.

Zhu Youjian, who didn't speak, wrapped his arms around it unconsciously, and Yi Shanguan projected on the tent gradually moved closer to Fengguan, and the two rolled onto the brocade couch in an embrace.

That night, Haoyue was ashamed all night, hiding among the clouds and refusing to come out.

The rustling wind blew the red lanterns in the pepper house and rattled, as if a young girl was singing a bright and brisk song.

Zhu Youjian did his duty as a husband and tried his best to make the queen more and more beautiful.

early morning.

The sun rises on Dongshan Mountain, the spring snow stops suddenly, the wind stops at the wealthy family, and the husband and wife wake up embracing each other.

"Your Majesty, restore Lang'er's crown prince."

This sentence is what Queen Zhou said to Zhu Youjian here, it seems more like a wife's exhortation to her husband, but Zhu Youjian has a feeling of being pushed far away by Queen Zhou suddenly, and the intimacy of last night disappeared suddenly Shadowless:

"You are too tired, sleep more, you don't need to wait, just let the people below come."

Then, Zhu Youjian didn't say another word, and he didn't dare to look at Queen Zhou again. He was afraid that if she looked at her more, he would resent her and agree to her.

And the Empress Zhou just looked at Zhu Youjian and didn't say a word. She really wanted to say that because Zhu Cihong was not the prince, the hearts of the princes also became colder, and the court became more chaotic and complicated, but she didn't say anything until Zhu Cihong Youjian walked out of Kunning Palace, and she suddenly hugged the bedding and beat the pillow: "You are so cruel, you are really cruel!"

The imperial chariot was coming to Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing as he watched the sun rise slowly from the direction of Zhengyang Gate in the distance.

No matter what other people think or think, at least he has really got Da Ming out of the crisis of being destroyed now!
The Manchu Qing in the north was already seriously injured, and the Dorgon party, which united with the Han bureaucrats and gentry, could no longer suppress the royalists represented by Jierhalang, which meant that the internal struggles of the Manchu Qing would also become fiercer. Qingnian is no longer able to go north, and the external crisis will no longer exist.

Internally, Zhu Youjian already controls the most powerful army in the empire, and the central finance has been greatly improved.

It can be said that even if I no longer have anything to do now, more than 100 years of Ming Taiping is more than enough, and there is no doubt that I can do a second Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian himself can't help but think again, if he doesn't carry out any reforms, doesn't touch the land interests that the entire gentry group is really afraid of, and doesn't go to the Northern Expedition, will it be better if they are in harmony with each other?

History may at most gradually develop according to the current trajectory until the beginning of the [-]th century, and then be caught up by the research on natural sciences that rose after the Western Renaissance, and Ming Dynasty will definitely follow.

For myself, now I can completely be a Taiping emperor, rule by doing nothing, return the power to the civil servants again, let them take care of the country for me, and then enjoy life, enjoy women, and enjoy wealth.

If you want to do this, you should have agreed to Queen Zhou just now. After all, letting King Hui Zhu Cihong restore the crown prince is tantamount to letting the imperial power begin to give way to the Confucian order that civil officials insist on. The struggle flattens out.

But Zhu Youjian didn't know why he chose to remain silent, and he didn't choose to agree to Queen Zhou, even though Queen Zhou had already used the love of husband and wife and the temptation of the body to plead with himself.

"Perhaps I am not a person who is only willing to fall and sink. I am not only the master of this empire and civilization at this time, but also a member of him. Since I have become the leader of this historical process, I have the obligation to use myself I'm doing my best to make him better, because I'm not his occupant, and I don't want to sit him down."

Zhu Youjian explained this for himself.

Moreover, although there is no way to predict the current situation after 200 years, will there be a Temujin and Jinmujin in the future like in the Southern Song Dynasty?

In any case, Zhu Youjian felt that he could not allow the Han people in the north to continue to be slaves to the Eight Banners for more than 100 years or 200 years while he was alive.

Once he decided to continue to fight against the gentry, continue to push the existing unreasonable system of the empire, and push the Ming Empire into a new era faster, Zhu Youjian found that his life as an emperor was no longer confused, and his world was no longer confused. It shouldn't be just looking for a more stunning concubine to release your dopamine.

What's more, Zhu Youjian didn't want to disappoint some northern children who threw their heads and blood for him. Although he could live in Nanjing, for many northern children, this is the beginning of their hope. Looking forward to the Northern Expedition even more, looking forward to returning to their homeland.

No matter how good the southern country is, in their eyes, it is nothing but empty prosperity, not as good as the northern homeland that they have never forgotten in their hearts.

But Zhu Youjian knew that if he wanted to make the Northern Expedition and let Daming go further, he would encounter greater resistance. As an emperor, he still wanted to steal peace, not to mention the gentry and common people in the south, there is still that unreachable in the north. The future is more or less immaterial to them.

In order to resist the Qing army going south and to defend their homeland, they can take out or even sacrifice their interests to unite around Zhu Youjian, but if they want to pay their interests again to realize the ideal of the Northern Expedition and let Ming go further, I am afraid that most southerners will not I will not agree, after all, human nature is selfish, not to mention that this is an era without too strong national consciousness.

Moreover, the conflict between the North and the South is huge in this era.

The failure of the Northern Expedition in the Southern Song Dynasty was not because of insufficient national strength, nor was it because of too much resistance.
