Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 854

After hearing this, Empress Zhou didn't speak immediately, she just waved her hand to let the maids back out with a cold face.

Seeing this movement, Zhu Cihong felt a little chill on his back and a little hairy in his heart.But there is no way, this is his mother, even if he is the prince, it is useless.

After a while, all the palace maids and chambermaids left, and then Queen Zhou approached the prince, with a look of hatred on her face, and said to Zhu Cixiang: "I heard the news before, and finally couldn't help but come over to take a look. I really bumped into you. Is this your attitude when it comes to handling national affairs and reviewing memorials?"

Zhu Cihong lowered his head, kept silent, and looked like he was being scolded.

Seeing him like this, Empress Zhou couldn't help but get even more angry. Pointing at him, she said: "You are the prince of Ming Dynasty, and you will succeed as emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future. Don't you think that you are so perfunctory about political affairs? Are you a fool?"

This is a bit heavy, but only Queen Zhou can say it. Others don't have the qualifications and courage to say it.For example, Cao Huachun, a veteran eunuch, didn't mention a word.

Hearing such straightforward words, Zhu Cihong was irritated, and couldn't help raising his head, with a little anger on his face, but looking at his mother's face that hated iron and iron, the anger disappeared, and he just replied: " My son didn't want to be a fool!"

"Then tell me!" Empress Zhou pointed to his forehead when she heard that he still denied it, and said angrily, "Could it be that mother was blind just now? Your father stipulated that Yes, the memorials for important events are for you to review, how do you review them? Is there anyone who reviews them like this?"

After hearing this, Zhu Cixi lowered his head and continued to say nothing.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Empress Zhou couldn't help but get angrier when she saw him like this, her voice became louder, and she shouted, "Tell mother! You have to say one, two, three, you If you want to be reasonable, mother will not care about you anymore? Tell me, do you really want to be a foolish king?"

Facing the aggressiveness of Empress Zhou, Zhu Cihuang suddenly raised his head, with a bit of determination on his face, without any sign of flinching, he straightened his neck and replied: "I just don't want to be Prince Yiwen!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Zhou froze there as if struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Prince Yiwen refers to Zhu Biao, the eldest son of the founder of the country. The greatest achievement in his life is to be a prince all his life without becoming an emperor.Because Zhu Yuanzhang lived longer than his eldest son.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen is wise and powerful, and many people are already saying that the current emperor is much more powerful than the Taizu back then.Judging from the current situation, Emperor Chongzhen seems to be in good health indeed, and they all went away to fight in the Mughal Empire.

There was a 27-year age difference between Taizu and Prince Yiwen back then, but there is only a difference between Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong today.Looking at the death of Taizu's son back then, it seems that the chances of Emperor Chongzhen dying of his son are also very high.

The reason why Empress Zhou was shocked was because her son didn't want to be Prince Yiwen, that is, he wanted to be emperor, but if he wanted to be emperor, either Emperor Chongzhen would become the Supreme Emperor, or Emperor Chongzhen would die.However, these two situations, as far as the current situation is concerned, are absolutely impossible.So, does his son want to kill his father?
Thinking of this idea, how could Queen Zhou not be stunned in shock!
This news is so big that Empress Zhou didn't dare to be stunned for a while, she immediately came back to her senses, looked around quickly, then immediately turned dark, and shouted angrily: "You...you are a rebellious person, You...you want to die, you..."

As she spoke, she was so frightened that she could speak incoherently, which was beyond her acceptable range.

However, when he heard her say this and saw her like this, Zhu Cihong was stunned for a while, and then he finally realized that he was shocked and a little anxious, and quickly said to Empress Zhou: "Mother, Where do you want to go!"

His tone was full of accusations.

"I... where can I go?" After hearing this, Queen Zhou was stunned for a moment and said angrily, "Tell yourself, why do you have such thoughts? You are unfaithful and unfilial..."

Zhu Cihong didn't dare to listen any longer, and hurriedly called out: "Mother... Mother, you have misunderstood my minister!"

When he said this, he couldn't wait to go forward and gag his queen mother.

"Ah?" Empress Zhou was a little dumbfounded when she heard it, and she couldn't react, "I... Did I misunderstand you?"

"That's right!" Zhu Cihong nodded quickly, and said at the same time, "I just mean that I don't want to be like Prince Yiwen, and nothing will be achieved in the end. As far as this political affairs are concerned, is my son more powerful, or my father more powerful? Is it arranged by my father?" Is the subject better, or the son-in-law better?"

"What do you mean?" Empress Zhou was a little confused by him, and couldn't help asking in wonder.

Zhu Cihong didn't want to be misunderstood by Empress Zhou again. This matter was too big. If it got out, he couldn't bear it anyway, so he quickly explained: "No matter how hard I work on this political matter, I will not Maybe something will be done. However, didn’t the father arrange things for the son? This is a major event that benefits the country and the people and affects future generations! The son worked hard for this, not only invented the steam engine, but also used it in various fields. People's livelihood. There are steam-powered trains, steam warships, etc., which are all busy. No matter who mentions these in the future, they will definitely mention them. Therefore, I thought, instead of being here It’s better to do more practical things than mediocrity in political affairs. This is what the son-in-law means, does the queen mother understand?”

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and said heavily: "I just want to live a valuable life, and I want to do something with a sense of accomplishment!"

Hearing this, Queen Zhou finally understood what her son meant, and it turned out that she had really misunderstood.Knowing this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, I understand that, for a conservative person like her, she is still a little bit unable to turn the corner, so she couldn't help but say: "But, you are the prince!"

"That's right, my son is the prince!" Zhu Cihong said, and it didn't matter.This let go, and the thinking became clearer, and he immediately said to Queen Zhou, "Because my son is the prince, he has been busy with these things and doing these things, it is definitely a very important thing for the atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty. Influence, able to guide the people of Ming Dynasty to work hard in these areas, this is the greatest role of the prince, Erchen."

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, and whispered in a very positive tone: "I believe that the emperor also means the same thing, and I will be very happy for my son to invest in these aspects!"

"This..." Queen Zhou couldn't help being speechless after hearing this, because her intuition made her feel that her son was right.

"My son is also very happy!" Seeing that she was speechless, Zhu Cihong said solemnly, "Because my son also has a sense of accomplishment, if this continues, I will definitely have a place in the history books, not just a prince anymore! "

Is Zhu Cihong stupid?He is not stupid at all!He knew that no matter how hard he tried to be the emperor, he could never be as good as his father.Even if he really becomes the emperor in his day, he can't do better than his father.In the history books from now on, it must be under the light of his great father, and it will be silent.

Therefore, when he finds new opportunities and can make a sense of accomplishment, he will certainly enjoy it, and he will definitely not pay attention to this kind of thing of reviewing memorials.

After Empress Zhou understood the whole thing, she finally nodded slowly, and had to admit that her son's choice might be right.

"My son, I finally feel relieved for my mother!" Queen Zhou stretched out her hand, touched her son's face, and said in relief.

Although one is a queen and the other is a prince, in the final analysis, one is still a mother and the other is a son.

Hearing such words, Zhu Cihong was very happy, he knew that his mother would not care about him no matter what he did in the future.So, his heart flew to Tianjin again, but unfortunately, without the data of the long-distance iron-clad warship, he could only rely on this side to find out by himself.

Queen Zhou put down her hands and was ready to go back.However, being shocked by his son's words, she also had some thoughts, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "Then what should I do?"

Who wouldn't want to leave a name in history?Queen Zhou also thought about it!Now, her son has found his own bright road, but she doesn't know how to do it?
For a long time, she has always adhered to the Queen's way and governed the harem according to the tradition. Not to mention how excellent she is, at least she is worthy of the position of Queen.

However, now that she is affected by her son's words, if possible, she also wants to leave a name in history and become one of the best queens in the past!
However, she really didn't have a clue what to do to leave a name in history.

Hearing what she said to herself, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but said: "Queen Mother, that's not easy, just do what Emperor Father wants!"

"Ah?" Empress Zhou couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard it. She couldn't remember it for a while, so she asked, "What did your father say?"

Hearing that his mother asked him for advice, Zhu Cihong regained his energy, his eyebrows danced a little, and he pointed out immediately: "Didn't the mother find out? The father has already asked more and more women to come out to do things. Even if it is the mother herself, it is not too late." Are you in charge of a textile factory? My son sees the meaning of the emperor, so that all the women in our Ming Dynasty can also have a job, not just at home. See, look..."

Speaking of this, he began to point out to Empress Zhou the new policies of Emperor Chongzhen, including the establishment of midwives, etc., and then talked about the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is encouraging birth. The position of the woman in the future.
