Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The emperor's hands were tightly gripping the handles of the throne, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

His eyes passed over Prince Jane and swept across the other ministers present, his heart filled with disappointment and anger.

In such a large court meeting, no one dared to stand up and speak for me!

This made him feel extremely heartbroken.

In this cold and familiar gaze, he saw those who only cared about pleasure and were selfish.

Where have all his subjects gone?

The emperor's eyes became extremely desolate, and a deep fear, disappointment and uneasiness surged in his heart.

Shen Meimei stood quietly by the side, watching everything happening in front of her, and she couldn't help herself.

She took a deep breath, took a step forward resolutely, and said loudly:

"I am the Imperial Consort, and as a woman, I shouldn't speak in court.

But now we are in the Shengjing Palace, and everyone here is a Manchu survivor, so we can be considered a family.

In this case, I will speak from the bottom of my heart. Have you ever thought about why the Ming Dynasty fell?"

As soon as Shen Meimei said this, the entire court was in an uproar.

Everyone was whispering and talking.

Someone shouted in surprise:

"Since when can women speak in the court?"

Others questioned:

"Although she is the Imperial Consort, I heard that she is from the Han Army Banner?"

"Your Majesty, this is outrageous. You actually let a woman speak?"

[What woman? Isn’t your mother a woman? ]

[Without women, where do you all come from? ]

Shen Meimei cursed all these Manchurian elders in her heart, and the emperor felt better. He tried not to laugh and said to the elders in the court:

"Quiet, listen carefully, what does the Imperial Concubine have to say?"

Shen Meimei smiled slightly and continued:

"Look, my princes! I have a big cake in my hand, which is like a country. If everyone wants to eat cakes and doesn't make cakes, the cake will be eaten up soon. In the end, everyone will starve to death!

The fall of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be caused by Li Zicheng overthrowing the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was caused by the corruption within the Ming Dynasty.

The History of Ming Dynasty records: At the beginning, Taizu granted great fiefs to his clan members, ordering them to receive annual salaries from generation to generation without being given official positions, and the relationship between the two families was very close. How much wealth did the court consume every year to support these royal relatives?

I would like to ask, Prince Dong, how many sons and daughters do you have?"

Prince Lebu of the East lowered his head and thought for a while, "......"

“It seems that Prince Dong can’t even remember how many sons he has?

If you are a person, and your next generation consists of ten people, how many people will be the next generation of ten people?

If we calculate ten taels of silver per person per year, how can the court afford it?

The purpose of rectifying the flag affairs is to ensure that your descendants will have food to eat decades later, and your grandchildren's grandchildren will also have food to eat a hundred years later.

Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, think about how brave you were when you fought with Taizu, why after only a few decades, you have all been living in luxury and can't even do the most basic riding and shooting."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent and several princes were stunned.

The emperor showed his relief without disguising himself, nodded and continued:

"A little girl like you has such a broad mind, and you, as a prince, are not doing your job. Aren't you ashamed?"

Shen Meimei's words obviously disrupted the princes' formation. Prince Dong's face suddenly turned cold and he quickly gave a look to Prince Jian.
