In the afternoon.
Chongzhen had been marking the memorials for the whole day and could not help muttering,"You want silver here, you want silver there, where can I get silver for you!”
Chong Zhen rubbed his forehead.
Cao Wenzhao had been suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, and the memorial asking for military pay had arrived. Four hundred thousand taels!
This time, even the money for the disaster relief in Shaanxi was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Where would Chongzhen go to get silver?
"Imperial Lord, Eunuch Cao has handed over a memorial regarding the trial of the eunuchs.”Wang Chengen came to Chongzhen's side and poured a cup of tea for Chongzhen as he spoke softly.
"Are there any eunuchs in the palace?”Chong Zhen quickly asked.
"Emperor, according to Eunuch Cao's reply and the case files, it seems that there is nothing missing. Those who colluded with the eunuchs have been caught in one fell swoop.”
Wang Chengen replied in detail," Also, the eunuchs and palace maids who are involved but have no evidence to prove that they are related to the eunuchs should also be sent out of the palace."”
Chongzhen nodded slightly. Ever since he ascended the throne, the only thing that made him proud was eliminating Wei Zhongxian!
He also believed that there would be no more eunuchs in the palace!
"Then who has the Crown Prince been close to recently?”Chong Zhen asked.
"His Highness has been in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility recently. Other than a few eunuchs, no one else has approached him.”
Speaking of this, Wang Chengen paused and said,""Emperor, do you suspect that someone wants to get close to the Crown Prince?”
Chong Zhen was stunned and shook his head.
According to Wang Chengen, that was to say, no one told Zhu Ci about the court.
Then how did Zhu Ciyan know about the disaster in Shaanxi, Zhou Yanru, and Wen Tiren?
Secondly, there was another doubt. Why didn't Zhu Ci Xin tell him? Why could he hear Zhu Ci Xin's thoughts?
Honestly speaking, Chongzhen knew Zhu Ciao very well. He had always been obedient and sensible. He should not have hidden it from him!
Besides, Chongzhen boasted that he was a good father and was not strict. At most, he would scare him…
Chong Zhen was getting more and more confused. He really couldn't understand.
It was not appropriate for him to ask others about such matters.
However, after a moment of silence, Chongzhen still asked Wang Chengen,""Big partner, I said if, yes, it's if…"
"Have you heard of any strange things? For example, a person can hear the thoughts of others?”
Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen in confusion and said,""Emperor, that person can't be you, right?”
Wang Chengen had followed Chongzhen since he was a child, so he was still very close to Chongzhen. If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't dare to say so.
"You're talking nonsense. How can it be me?”
"Zhen said if!"
Chong Zhen's eyes flashed with panic as he quickly defended himself.
Wang Chengen smiled and shook his head." Emperor, I have never heard of such a strange thing."”
"However, if this person is not an ordinary person, such as the emperor, perhaps he has such a divine ability!”
"Big partner, zhen said if, not zhen!”Chong Zhen quibbled.
Wang Chengen smiled again and said," Your Majesty, this servant is also saying if. Why are you so anxious?"”
Chong Zhen was at a loss for words. He waved his hand and said,"Continue, why does Tian Zi have such a divine ability?”
"Because Tian Zi is God's representative in the human world!”Wang Chengen explained with a smile.
Chongzhen was speechless.
Even Chongzhen himself did not believe such nonsense.
Chongzhen was too lazy to argue with Wang Chengen. He changed the topic and said,"" Then, when you were in the folk, have you ever heard of such a thing? Some children are young, but they are smarter than ordinary children…"
Chong Zhen spent a lot of effort to explain Zhu Ci's matter.
"Yes!"
Wang Chengen thought for a moment and said," Emperor, there is a rumor among the people. It is similar to this. It is said that an immortal reincarnated in some children and sealed the child's four senses, making him unable to speak. However, he is extremely intelligent. Once the child speaks, he will definitely soar to the sky and have a bright future.”
"There really is such a legend!"
Chongzhen was shocked. Although these folk legends were mostly unreliable, what Chongzhen was experiencing now was also an unheard of strange thing!
Chong Zhen couldn't help but believe it!
"Could it be that my son Ci Xi is the reincarnation of an immortal and has come to save my Great Ming?”
Chong Zhen's face flickered with bewilderment.
Now, Zhu Ciyao's words only confirmed the disaster in Shaanxi. If Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were really as Zhu Ciyao thought, corrupt and formed cliques for personal gain...
Then Zhu Ci Xin was very likely to be the reincarnation of an immortal!
Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen and said,""Urge Yuan Xingshao to investigate as soon as possible. Report any progress immediately!”
"This servant will rush him now."
Wang Chengen bowed slightly and immediately turned to leave the hall.
"Let's go and see that little brat first.”
After Chongzhen watched Wang Chengen leave, he muttered to himself and got up to leave the royal study.
……
……
The Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
At this moment, Zhu Ci Xin and Empress Zhou were having their meal.
Suddenly, a eunuch's voice rang out.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Empress Zhou was stunned at first, but then she was overjoyed. She quickly brought Zhu Ci Xin out to welcome him.
"ChenQie welcomes Your Majesty."
Empress Zhou bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? Look, this ChenQie didn't prepare anything.”
Empress Zhou said with some distress.
Zhu Ci Xin also bowed at the side and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Why did this old wall lamp come here every day? I've never seen him come here so frequently before!
This old fellow wouldn't be up to something again, asking this and that, right?
It was a headache to play dumb!
Look, even my Imperial Mother is too embarrassed to say that you came halfway through the meal. Should I call you to eat or not?
Chong Zhen heard these thoughts clearly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This unfilial son…
No!
"Biological, biological…"
Chong Zhen muttered a few words in his heart before suppressing his emotions. He smiled and said,"Empress, Pin 'er, there's no need to be so polite. Zhen came to see you.”
"Big companion, let them prepare a few more dishes. Zhen wants to eat with the empress and the crown prince.”
Soon after, the palace maids and eunuchs quickly served the dishes. Delicious dishes were served one after another.
"Your Majesty, ChenQie heard that there is another drought in Shaanxi recently?”
Empress Zhou was the first to speak." ChenQie knows that the state affairs are difficult now. Your Majesty should not be so extravagant and wasteful.”
"Don't worry, Empress. I will settle the matters of the previous dynasty. Pin 'er is still growing, so I can't be too frugal.”
After Chong Zhen said that, he couldn't help but sigh and said,""Now that the capital has just experienced the flames of war, the national treasury is empty, and there is a disaster in Shaanxi. Cao Wenzhao and the others have also come to ask for money from Zhen.”
As Chong Zhen spoke, he kept casting glances at Zhu Ci Nao, as if he was not speaking to Empress Zhou, but to Zhu Ci Nao.
F * ck!
No way, no way, you're asking me again?
Can't see me, can't see me…
Zhu Cixi tried his best to lower his head and eat to reduce his presence.
