"It's getting colder now. The queen must be more careful and be careful not to get cold."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up a piece of meat and put it into Queen Zhou's bowl, showing concern: "The queen is pregnant now, so it's better not to be too tired.

Everything should be focused on nourishing the fetus.

Brother Ying asked the wet nurse beside her and took care of her more. The queen would remember all the words I said in her heart."

"Um."

Queen Zhou lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly, and responded softly, "She could truly feel the concern for the emperor and was also very happy."

Everyone around Hou lowered their heads with tactfulness and dared not disturb them at all.

At present, Emperor Chongzhen was busy with the government affairs and was busy until very late every day. In addition to sleeping in the Ganqing Palace, the most common thing to come to the harem was the Kunning Palace where the Queen of Zhou was located.

"Emperor, I know that you are worried about the world and want to govern the Ming Dynasty well, but you should also pay more attention to your health." Empress Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen who had eaten quickly, and felt a little worried about her eyebrows and said, "... I am so proud of myself. I just hope the emperor…”

"Okay, I know the queen's intention."

Emperor Chongzhen put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and smiled and said, "My health is good. Taking advantage of the clear situation in front of him, it is better to make some government affairs early."

Emperor Chongzhen loved Empress Zhou, who was well-behaved and understanding, but after all, it was actually very difficult to find such a good match.

Faced with the Ming Dynasty, he had to face these problems, rather than relying on wronging his women to solve a small number of problems.

Is the vast Ming Dynasty really lacking money?

Judging from the actual situation, it is obvious that there is no shortage of money.

After all, the joint operation of the Inner Factory and the Western Factory, the inner factory searched the hidden thieves and rats in the inner court and collected a lot of wealth, which gave Emperor Chongzhen a more intuitive feeling about the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps the fiscal revenue of this dynasty will take a relatively long time to rely on professional talents like Bi Ziyan to conduct macro-control in order to gradually improve.

At that time, the basic control system will be stable, and then the tax reform will be promoted at the right time, and then the tax system of the Ming Dynasty will be truly changed.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, the state-owned economy led by Neichang will gradually grow and grow in the next period of time.

Since the Ming Dynasty at this stage is in ruins, it will truly isolate the treasury controlled by the outside dynasty and the treasury under the jurisdiction of the inner court.

When the Jinyiwei supervised Yuan case, he followed the trend and promoted the official position responsibility system, promoted the people he wanted to arrange to the appropriate position, and achieved preliminary checks and balances. The pragmatic officials were in charge of their respective positions. With the corresponding power, most government affairs in the foreign dynasty can be handed over to the court for handling, while Emperor Chongzhen can take it out to solve the arrangements he wanted to plan.

“Swishy…”

The rapid footsteps sounded, and Pang Tianshou looked panicked and walked quickly into Kunning Palace. This was called Han Zanzhou trying to go forward to obstruct him, but was interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Pang Tianshou, you are not in the Duke's Mansion of England, why did you suddenly run back to the inner court?" Emperor Chongzhen frowned and slowly stood up, his tone was a little unkind.

In the British Duke's Mansion, Pang Tianshou nominally served Zhang Weixian, who was seriously ill, but in fact he was monitoring Zhang Weixian to prevent him from telling the blank check he had said before.

I think that Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, which led to a big uproar in the country and the people in the capital were panicked. In order to ensure the stability of the situation, a group of elite troops were screened from the Beijing camp to provide elite troops to the planned Tianxiong Army and the loyal and brave army to control the Beijing camp.

The main situation was slightly shocked by the court. In order to achieve the above political goals, Emperor Chongzhen thought deeply and summoned Zhang Weixian and wrote a blank check of two titles.

Zhang Weixian, a veteran politician, was able to become the only two Dukes of the Ming Dynasty like the prominent Xu family.

For the glory he thought, Zhang Weixian offended many honorary officials during the reign of the Jingying Army. Later, Emperor Chongzhen announced that he would be the emperor to serve as the minister of regent, stabilize the situation in the court, and offend many civil officials.

.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, things like one family and two dukes cannot happen again. After all, the group of honors and relatives who have not been transformed and baptized are actually not fans of the imperial power, but on the contrary, they are still burdens of the imperial power.

However, on the other hand, the British Duke's lineage was indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Compared with Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen, there are so many good ones.

The last British Duke Zhang Shize was killed by Li Chuang, and he used practical actions to explain the separation with the country!

Therefore, "two titles for each family" must be given, but it cannot be given to the Duke of the Kingdom. It is still possible to give it to the count who has been hereditary.

"The Emperor...the British Duke died!"

Pang Tianshou bowed and told Emperor Chongzhen that the fact that Zhang Weixian was dead.

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Zhang Weixian, who should have died of illness in the third year of Chongzhen, would die of illness early. This was related to Zhang Weixian's excessive work during his personal expedition.

It's right to think about it.

In order to personally lead the expedition, Emperor Chongzhen added several insurances to strive for stability in the rear and to provide stable food and grass supply to the army fighting on the front line, as well as various military supplies.

"When did it happen? Where is Zhang Zhiji?" Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, walked to Pang Tianshou and said coldly: "What did the British Duke say before his death?"

"Last night at the hour of Hai."

Pang Tianshou hurriedly replied: "Now the Prince of England, please see the Emperor outside the Qianqing Gate. Since the Emperor investigated the Prince of England, the Prince of England's illness has not said a word."

Zhang Weixian's expression of death from illness in advance was indeed beyond Emperor Chongzhen's expectations. At present, Zhang Weixian's eldest grandson, Zhang Shize, who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, was following his own will to the Zhangjiakou area.

"Go and pass on my oral order to order the British Prince Zhang Zhiji to see me immediately!" Emperor Chongzhen, who thought of these, pointed his hand at Pang Tianshou and said.

"I will receive the order!"

Since Zhang Weixian has died now, the agreement he made before should be fulfilled to the British Duke. Even if the hereditary duke cannot give it to him, the hereditary earl can still give it to him.

For the honorary relatives who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, everything they should give, but Emperor Chongzhen was not going to give it to others, so he wanted to grant it to Zhang Shize the hereditary count.
