Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 73

"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Walking from the imperial city to the square in front of the palace gate, Zhu Cixiang sat on the carriage and saw hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs.

They knelt on the ground, not daring to move, like puppets in ornate clothes whose heads were covered with ink.

A court lady named Su Li was kneeling beside the road. Because of the hot weather and excessive sweating, she felt dizzy for a while, so she even moved forward a few steps, and then fainted in front of Zhu Cihong's carriage.

"Stop!" Seeing someone in front of him, Zhu Cixi ordered the guards and bearers beside him to stop.

Seeing Zhu Cilang's Luanjia stop in front of Su Li, the eunuch in charge ran over and knelt down and said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, they are all slaves who are lax in discipline. Please punish them, Your Majesty."

The head eunuch thought that Zhu Cihong, the emperor who killed thousands of people from King Fu's party before he ascended the throne, must have killed decisively. Anyone who violated the rules and offended him would have only a dead end.

But he never expected that Zhu Cihong would actually say, "It's hot, and it's understandable that the palace people can't bear it."

"Nian Er and other maids and eunuchs have been too tired these days, and everyone will be rewarded with a sling of money and half a bowl of ice porridge."

Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, the head eunuch and the rest of the court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank them. They didn't expect that the murderous emperor rumored to be so good would reward them with money as soon as they saw them, knowing that they were sympathetic to their hard work.

"Help her up, go find a place to rest, she won't have to work today."

The foreman was listening too much, so he hurried to Su Li's side and whipped her with his big mouth to make her get up.

Zhu Cixiang felt displeased when he saw it, and said to himself, I haven't mentioned corporal punishment yet, when will it be your turn to slap the big mouth?

"Did I let you smoke? I just asked you to help her up. It's really a bullying thing. If you slap yourself a hundred times, whoever knows her, come and help her to rest."

In front of Zhu Cihong, the head eunuch dared not to carry out Zhu Cihong's orders [-]%, which showed how far Zhu Cihong's orders had been out of shape behind his back.

However, those big mouths of the foreman eunuch really worked. Su Li woke up immediately after being whipped twice. Seeing Zhu Cihong's Luanjia was in front of her eyes, she kowtowed hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, please don't kill me, Your Majesty."

Hearing what Su Li said, Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, did he look like a murderer?It's not like ah, I was born so white and clean, at first glance, I look like a jade-faced flying dragon, and Mr. Xiaolang has nothing to do with killing people.

"Am I so fierce?" Zhu Cihong asked her with a smile.

"No, no, you are not fierce. You are very kind to us and give us rewards. You are a good emperor." The young Su Li didn't know what to call a good emperor, let alone what a good emperor was.

She is like a child, she only knows to be good to herself, and she is a good person.

"Haha, if he treats you well, he is a good emperor. That would be too easy." Zhu Cixiang said with a smile.

To be a good emperor in a feudal society, the common people should not be hungry, the officials can receive their salaries on time, and there should be as few bullying behaviors as possible, so that the clan’s burden on the country can be lightened, and the clan’s burden on the country can be reduced. The country's officials are clean and clean, and the financial balance is maintained.

In short, it is too difficult to be a good emperor, at least in Zhu Cihong's heart.

But fortunately, he doesn't intend to be that kind of emperor, and the opportunity should be left to future generations, otherwise if he doesn't give them a chance to show off, he will definitely say that he was born at the wrong time and can't show his grand plans.

"rise."

Zhu Cihong didn't talk too much with Su Li. As the emperor, his words and deeds were watched by the outside world. It's not a good thing for others to know what he likes or dislikes too much.

This is not only because it may be exploited by those who want to, and Zhu Cihong's likes and dislikes are used to set up a trap, but more importantly, it may affect the lives of the people.

After Zhu Cihong's Luanjia left, the head eunuch rushed to Su Li's side to make amends.

"Su Li, you adults don't remember villains. I only slapped you twice, but I slapped myself a hundred times. That should be enough."

"What's the use of you telling me this? I didn't ask you to slap me. You need to find His Majesty."

Su Li couldn't be bothered to talk to the head eunuch, the eunuchs were all physically unhealthy, and naturally their minds were also unhealthy.

She turned around and started chatting with her maids and sisters about Zhu Cixiang.

"Your Majesty is such a kind person. It's a hot day. He knew we were hot, so he even gave us iced porridge." A young palace lady who was about the same age as Su Li said.

"I really hope that there will always be such a good emperor, so that we will never be bullied again in this palace and can live freely."

"Ha, what are you thinking? This is the imperial palace. We came here to serve as slaves to the emperor. You still want to be free. There will always be one group of people serving another group of people in one place. This is impossible to change."

"Nonsense, there must be such a place."

"Yes, there is, there must be, and it must be in a dream."

……

Zhu Cihong didn't know what those little court ladies and eunuchs thought of their new emperor, and he didn't care, because he had more important things to care about, such as the income from house raids.

King Fu and the others committed such a serious crime as treason. In addition to killing their families, they also ransacked their homes. The things they copied could not only be used as evidence of their crimes, but also provide Zhu Cihong with a windfall.

What, what if there is no evidence of guilt?That's not simple. The emperor said that if you have it, you have it. If you dare to talk too much, you will definitely be excusing your accomplices. With Zhu Cihong's warrant, the Jin Yiwei will come to arrest you.

As the saying goes, a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass.

Even if a person works honestly and diligently, even if he struggles like chicken blood all day long, he will not be able to become rich.

As it is with a person, so it is with a country.

The farming countries in East Asia have been farming for thousands of years, and the land has been planted for thousands of years. In the end, they are not as rich as a group of Western devils and robbers. Lessons.

When he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was Li Jin who stood in front of Zhu Cihong and made a report. Because he was the head of internal affairs in the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Cihong handed over to him everything related to money, even if it was stolen from the house. The same goes for things.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago we seized a total of more than [-] taels worth of cash, gold, money, calligraphy, painting and antiques, land deeds, treasures, delicacies, and furniture from the homes of Prince Fu and other traitors."
