Although it is spring now, the weather is still a little cold. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stomp his feet and rub his hands when he got up in the morning.

At this time, Liu Rushi came over with a copper hand heater in his arms: "Your Majesty, use this so that your hands will tremble when you write later."

"No need, this is not cold, as long as you don't care about the people of the world, it's okay to be cold and cold, I'm alone." Zhu Youxiao ran around the yard as soon as he said casually.

Although Liu Rushi was still young, he was a little moved after hearing His Majesty's words and said to himself: "Your Majesty is indeed a good emperor."

When Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Rushi was still standing there stupidly, he shouted:

"You come here to accompany me and strengthen my exercise. The more you sweat in this weather, the less likely you will get cold. My ancestors don't live long because they don't pay attention to physical exercise."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Liu Rushi responded, put down the small hand stove, spread his feet and ran up with Zhu Youxiao.

One big and one small, they ran around the palace walls. When the sun rose to the drum tower and the entire snow-covered Forbidden City began to be embedded with bright golden light, the two stopped and looked at each other in sweat.

The panting Xiao Liuru would serve others as well. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao's forehead was covered with sweat, he wanted to wipe it. However, Zhu Youxiao directly held her slender waist and raised her up, put it on his neck: "Go and go back to the house."

The Kunning Palace is still as warm as spring. The thick carpet is laid in the warm pavilion, and the floor heating is still there. The incense burner surrounded by clouds and mist is also warm.

When Zhang Yan saw Zhu Youxiao coming in with Liu Rushi on her back, she couldn't help but say angrily: "Your Majesty, you like children, and you have to pay attention to your identity. This dragon head can be ridden at will."

"This is not in the court, why should you be so rigid?" Zhu Youxiao said again and said, "I asked someone to prepare two buckets of hot water, so that Xiao Rushi and I could take a shower to get rid of the cold.

But at this moment, Wang Chengen's voice came from outside Kunning Palace: "Your Majesty, the three-sided general Sun Chengzong has 600 miles in a hurry to report it!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that it was the eighth year of Tianqi, that is, the first year of Chongzhen in history, and the days of a large-scale peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the people in Shaanxi who had spent so much food and money to provide relief still rose up?

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about going to take a shower now, so he left the inner room wearing sweaty clothes. When he saw Wang Chengen, he took the note from him: "Show me!"

"Your Majesty Wan An, my three-sided general manager Sun Cheng'an initiated the memorial:

Since I entered Tongguan west last year, I have been taken care of by His Majesty, and have pacified three soldiers and riots everywhere. I have punished twelve illegal officials, including 56 officials and more than 143,000 refugees. I thought I could ensure nothing happened.

But who expected that as soon as the spring of this year, a locust plague broke out in Hanzhong, and the harvest of more than ten counties and counties around him was not guaranteed. At this time, there were more refugees. Moreover, because Fufeng County Magistrate Luo Wenjin continued to exploit the people, the people were in chaos and surrounded the county government. Fortunately, I rushed to kill the county magistrate in time to quell the public's grievances. However, nearly one million people urgently need relief. Moreover, as soon as the spring of this year, the food price soared. Your Majesty had used up the food he had allocated before. I beg Your Majesty to allocate another three million stone of grain, otherwise the riots in various places would inevitably form a prairie fire. Once the people in Shaanxi were in full swing, the old minister would have to die to thank Your Majesty!

After reading the memorial, Zhu Youxiao felt relieved when he saw that there had not been a large-scale peasant uprising, and handed the memorial to Wang Chengen: "This Sun Chengzong was fine and scared me, as long as there was no rebellion in the people."

But at this moment, another small yellow gate outside the house shouted: "Your Majesty, Zhu Youjian and Zhou asked for an audience."

Zhu Youxiao did not expect that Zhu Youjian was a deserter on the first day and came to see him the next day, so he ordered someone to bring him in, and Zhou also came in with him.

Because of the care of Queen Zhang Yan, Zhou could enter and exit the palace at will, otherwise Zhu Youjian, a deposed prince, would not have come here.

However, as soon as Zhu Youjian came in, he knelt down directly at Zhu Youjian: "My brother Zhu Youjian left the military camp without permission and violated military rules. Please punish him!"

Zhu Youjian did not expect that the second day after he escaped from the Imperial Guards camp, he learned that the Imperial Guards had executed Chen Mingxia and three other soldiers who escaped from the barracks without permission. Therefore, he realized that he had committed a great crime.

When he returned to Xiyuan this morning, he mentioned this matter to Zhou with great concern. After Zhou persuaded him, Zhu Youjian had to take the initiative to apologize.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian could take the initiative to apologize, Zhu Youxiao's impression of Zhu Youjian was much better than that, so he pretended to be serious: "It's good to know that he had committed a crime. Just kneel down first, I'm going to ask you later!"

Zhu Youxiao did this to see Zhu Youjian’s reaction, and see if he would have the intention of rebellion when he kept kneeling like this.

Queen Zhang Yan wanted to persuade her, but Zhu Youxiao waved her hand, and she had to shut up.

Zhu Youxiao continued to pick up Sun Chengzong's memorial at this time; "For the food Sun Chengzong wanted, I told the cabinet that he would agree to all Sun Chengzong's requests when the ticket was planned. If there was not enough food, I would use the silver to collect it. In addition, check why the grain in Shaanxi has skyrocketed. Haven't I ordered people to transport grain in Shu, Huguang and other places?"

"Your Majesty, there are not much grain stored in the capital Taicang and Tongzhou. I am afraid that it will take less than three million stones, and 500,000 stones are still difficult. In addition, there is not much stock in the internal treasury, and the daily consumption of the Imperial Guards after training is too great."

Wang Chengen said again, "And in my opinion, what Sun Chengzong said is an exaggeration. In fact, it was even more serious than this in previous years, and the court did not provide much relief. Isn't it okay? Although it was a small riot, it could be easily quelled."

"You can't think so. There is no need for previous years this year. Social conflicts have become increasingly intensified. I would rather the court give more than let these people go hungry again!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "If there is not enough food, I will take the money and take the Ministry of Revenue to purchase it in various places. I heard that a lot of grain was collected in Guangdong and Guangxi last year, so I went there to purchase it. In addition, the Maritime Bureau can also go to the Nanyang area to purchase grain. In short, it must meet Sun Chengzong's requirements."

"Your Majesty, but the money is not enough. You don't know that the treasury is only more than 20 million taels, and the taxes of the treasury this year have not been collected. You are exempt from taxes from almost the entire north. Now you have to maintain the military pay for the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, the Ordnance Department, the military pay for various places and the construction of your mausoleum. If you allocate the silver, you will probably not be able to turn over. However, if Liaodong asks for silver again, there will be no way."

Wang Chengen replied with some concern.

"Why did I spend so quickly? Why did the silver from the hands of the Eight Shanxi merchants and the Donglin Party so quickly?" Zhu Youxiao was surprised by this, but when he thought about spending money everywhere these days, he would directly allocate silver wherever he made noise, and he would directly allocate silver wherever he caused disaster. In addition, the support of the vassal kings in various places, it was reasonable to spend more than half of it at once.

"Since that's the case, then just take out the money I have for building a tomb. If a person dies, he will just turn into a piece of loess. What kind of tomb is built? Will he curse me to die soon?"

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Zhu Youjian first shouted: "Brother, no!"

Wang Chengen also knelt down: "No, Your Majesty! The tomb is a major event for the country, so you must not delay it!"
