Chapter 65: The Stubborn Zhu Youjian

Since tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youxiao no longer stays in the West Warehouse to handle government affairs. In addition to asking Wang Chengen to continue on duty at the West Warehouse, he also gave himself half a day off.

Now, he and Liu Rushi were lying on a warm kang in the east wing of Kunning Palace.

There was a globe presented by Tang Ruowang in the middle of the warm kang. Liu Rushi asked Zhu Youxiao while waving the globe:

"Your Majesty, do we really live on such a ball?"

"Yes, haven't I taken you to the Royal Academy of Sciences to attend a meeting on the latest research progress in astronomy? Mr. Xu also personally conducted a proof experiment for you, but you forgot."

Zhu Youxiao scraped Liu Rushi Xiaoqiong's nose, and Liu Rushi pouted, touched her little head and said:

"But I still can't figure it out. Why didn't we fall off when you say we were on the ball?"

"This is because the earth we live in has gravity. Do you know? Forget it, now you don't understand these things. I will first take a look at some simple geography knowledge I taught you a few days ago."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he turned the globe and pointed to the land of a form of boot: "Where is this?"

"Beating Luobazhou", Liu Rushi answered without thinking.

"Where is here?"

"America".

...

Seeing that Liu Rushi could remember everything he taught her, Zhu Youxiao handed her a gold croaker: "Awesome, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Rushi happily took the golden turtle and asked again: "Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty doesn't look very big. You see, there is so much land on it, and here."

"It's okay. When the Ming navy is strong in the future, I will sooner or later plant my Ming flag in these places. If you are obedient and wait until you grow up, I will also give you a piece of land to make you the female king."

Zhu Youxiao was also very childish at this time and said without hesitation.

Liu Rushi asked seriously: "Really?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Then, Liu Rushi pointed to the section of Japan (geographically sensitive words avoiding) and said: "Then I want this place, not far from the Ming Dynasty, so that even if I become a female king, I can come back to play with His Majesty."

"Yes, I will assign you to be the female emperor there in the future!"

Zhu Youxiao said generously, but at this time, Wang Chengen walked in: "Your Majesty, the family of Xin Wang has arrived, and I am waiting outside the hall now."

"Xuan him came in", Zhu Youxiao got up and sat upright, Liu Rushi also got off the kang and stood up in a proper manner.

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian, who was thin and very lonely, walked in. Princess Xin was also accompanied by Princess Zhou, and both of them saluted Zhu Youxiao.

"Let's flat".

Zhu Youxiao said that, so he asked Queen Zhang Yan to take Zhou down to rest, while he walked to Zhu Youjian in person.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen, who was only seventeen years old but was carrying the last seventeen years of the Ming Dynasty in history, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask: "Zhu Youjian, do you know why I asked you to Beijing?"

"Isn't the emperor just accusing his brother of being annoyed? If you want to kill me, just kill me." Zhu Youjian looked up disdainfully. At this moment, he was more like the personality he should have at his age, stubborn and rebellious.

Moreover, before Zhu Youxiao could speak, he cursed Zhu Youxiao coldly again: "The foolish lord!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned. After following the princess Zhou, who had not yet walked away, heard this, he was so scared that he looked gloomy. He hurriedly walked over to pick Zhu Youjian: "Husband!"

Zhu Youjian ignored Zhou and still looked up at the dome forty-five degrees. He now had no favoritism for himself, the emperor.

In Zhu Youjian's eyes, the emperor's brother Zhu Youxiao, as his husband said, his emperor's brother is not only a fool, but also a tyrant, and a cunning king with extreme hypocrisy.

On the surface, he criticized Wei Zhongxian to deceive the people, but secretly used thunderous means to kill loyal and good ministers in the court, and even more arrogantly confiscated the innocent gentry family, which made the people in the world very resentful.

"Brother, my husband has offended you, I apologize to you on his behalf!"

Zhou knew that Zhu Youjian would not admit his mistake to Zhu Youxiao, so he apologized to Zhu Youxiao first.

But who knew that at this time, Zhu Youjian slapped Zhou in the face: "Who asked you to treat this foolish lord to accompany me? I, Zhu Youjian, would rather be the soul of this foolish lord under the sword than beg for mercy at him!"

"presumptuous!"

When Zhu Youxiao saw that Zhu Youjian was openly beating his wife in the court, he also showed his elder brother's majesty, scolded Zhu Youjian and ordered someone to hold Zhu Youjian's hands to prevent him from getting mad again.

Zhou covered her face, Lihua stood up with rain, and saw Zhu Youxiao shouting at her husband, wanting to plead for her husband, but she didn't know how to ask for it.

Finally, it was the queen Zhang Yan who pulled Zhou aside and wiped Zhou's face with a wet cloth that was slapped by Zhu Youjian, while advising: "Don't worry, brother and sister, your Majesty will not treat Youjian like anything, after all, he is a real brother."

On this side, Zhu Youxiao didn't think that the young man in front of him was the Chongzhen Emperor in history, but just asked with kind words: "

"You said I am a foolish monarch, so I will ask you, where is I fainted? The Donglin Party wants to murder me. Shouldn't I resist? The eight major Shanxi merchants are engaged in enemies and treason for the country. Shouldn't I copy it?"

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly and turned his face away. After calming down for a while, he said: "They are a bit too much for you, the emperor, but as an emperor, you should have the legacy of Emperor Taizong of Tang. You can tolerate people who cannot tolerate them, and you cannot easily punish people who are confiscated and exterminate the clan. For the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, you should not set up money gates everywhere, collect intensive taxes, and compete for profit with the people!"

As the saying goes, the heavy punishment is used in troubled times. Zhu Youxiao knew what Zhu Youjian, who advised him to be generous, did when he was emperor in history. He was not less than his governors who were executed by him.

But at this time, Zhu Youjian didn't know how he looked in history, just like Zhu Youxiao insisted on thinking that what he did was right.

"You can judge how I should be this emperor. Water can carry a boat or cover it. The people will naturally know whether I am a foolish monarch! And you, Zhu Youjian, as a descendant of the royal family, said that he was concerned about the Ming Dynasty. I will ask you, what happened to you, you got 10,000 acres of fertile land within one month after the vassal? It forced the local governor to report to me that the king had lost his morality and displaced tens of thousands of people. Who was taking tens of thousands of taels of sacrifice every month and leaving the court without money to provide relief to the hungry victims? Who was eating up the Ming Dynasty and who was saving the Ming Dynasty? Do you still want me to say it clearly! "

After Zhu Youxiao asked this, Zhu Youjian couldn't speak for a long time.
