As the last eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuyao was a very regrettable tragic figure. When Chang Yu first met Princess Kunxing after time travel, he secretly made up his mind to protect the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Ni Bodhisattva himself could not protect himself at that time.
He always thought about how to rescue him from the palace. After he came to power, he took even more care of him, which resulted in indescribable emotions, including family affection and love. However, due to his identity, he could only hide some of his emotions deeply.
dew.
Even though she later got married and had the Princess of Jin Palace as her confidante, the hardest thing to let go of was Princess Kunxing. Although she was outside the capital, her heart was devoted to the unhappy woman in the palace.
I was really happy to see Princess Kunxing again after months of separation, but with the emperor, empress, and prince beside me, I could only express my emotions and greet her in a serious manner.
Princess Kunxing seemed to be calm and deserted as usual, but in fact, there was a hint of joy in her eyebrows after careful inspection, and her sudden appearance also surprised Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen loved the eldest princess very much, and even the prince was banned. However, Princess Kunxing could still enter and leave the palace at will without any restrictions. Although some ministers advised her, Emperor Chongzhen remained unmoved.
There are two reasons
First, Princess Kunxing suffered from heart disease. Ever since her betrothed consort Zhou Xian had an accident, Princess Kunxing, who was already cold-tempered, became even more autistic. She didn't eat or drink and became thinner. She kept silent and shed tears. Chongzhen
Both the emperor and Empress Zhou thought it was due to Zhou Xian's incident, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it as heart disease. In Chang Yu's words, it was depression, which means gloomy and unhappy, but in fact it was depression.
She needs self-medication for her heart disease. Give her more free space, don’t control him, and go out for more walks... This is also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen allowed her to leave the palace during Chang Yu’s last inspection of Jiubian, and that trip out of the palace had a great impact on Princess Kunxing.
His condition has indeed improved greatly. After returning to Beijing, his whole spirit and spirit are different. The emperor and empress are overjoyed.
But not long after, Princess Kunxing became wilted again.
However, we can't let her follow Chang Yu around the country all the time. The next best thing is to allow her to leave the palace at will to resolve her condition.
Secondly, Princess Kunxing is now the royal cornucopia.
I have already mentioned how poor the imperial court and the royal family were before Chang Yu came on the scene. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as being stretched thin. After Chang Yu came to power, he swindled people from all over the country to fill the national treasury. At the same time, he would give a share to the royal family, and life was relatively easier.
, but after all, the royal family also supports tens of thousands of people and the expenses are not small. Although those days were sufficient, they could not be called rich.
If you want to be rich, you must increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The Chongzhen family are all thrifty owners. Needless to say, they need to reduce expenditure. This source of income was also opened by Chang Yu. The Great World Entertainment City and Daming Bank both have shares in the royal family, and Prince Zhu Cixiang also bought some shares.
Gray industries and football leagues, but no one thought that the most profitable was the royal luxury brand created by Princess Kunxing with the help of Chang Yu.
It has the character "kun" in the shape of a phoenix. It was produced by the royal family and is hard to find.
From clothing and jewelry to women's red and even pens, inks, paper and inkstones, all kinds of limited editions were sold out as soon as they came on the market. It can be said that the supply exceeded the demand. The rich and wealthy families from all over the Ming Dynasty were proud to get one.
Hunger marketing can be said to be used to the extreme.
In addition, three women's teahouses were opened in the capital, and they were full every day, with money rolling in. The emperor was overjoyed every time he mentioned this, and he loved his daughter even more.
So no matter what the ministers said, he turned a deaf ear. Princess Kunxing could go out whenever she wanted during the day, and wherever she wanted, but most of the time she left the palace incognito, and many people didn't know where she went.
, maybe she was drinking tea in a teahouse somewhere, or stopping by a river somewhere...
Having freedom will make money, but Princess Kunxing is still not happy. She is deserted outside the palace and never joins in the fun. After returning to the palace, apart from greeting her parents, she stays alone behind closed doors. Her expression becomes increasingly haggard, but Emperor Chongzhen and his wife are
Feeling sad.
There was no way to go on like this. How about choosing a new bride? But when Princess Kunxing heard this, she refused and burst into tears. Empress Zhou couldn't bear it, so she let it go.
Today, Chang Yu returned to the capital and entered the palace. Queen Zhou was overjoyed when she heard about it and told Kun Xing. Unexpectedly, Kun Xing, who was usually lifeless, suddenly became energetic and said that she would go see him and listen to his knowledge to relieve his boredom.
So the two mothers came together.
It was clear to Emperor Chongzhen that his children and Chang Yu were good friends. Chang Yu was well-informed, eloquent and capable. Emperor Chongzhen didn't mind if they moved around more. After all, he could help him guard his home and courtyard and make money.
You can also teach your sons to enlighten your daughters.
It was Emperor Chongzhen's rule that the harem should not participate in or discuss politics, so Chang Yu was only asked to tell some anecdotes during the banquet. In fact, he was not very interested in these, but his children liked to listen, and so did Queen Zhou.
It was inappropriate to fight and kill, so Chang Yu casually talked about what he had seen. Even so, Queen Zhou and others were dumbfounded. Even Princess Kunxing, who had always been taciturn, was curious and kept asking questions. Seeing her daughter like this, Chongzhen
The emperor was also smiling brightly, Chang Yu was an awesome guy.
After chatting and laughing, the meal was finished unknowingly. Empress Zhou knew that Emperor Chongzhen still wanted to discuss official business, so she left with Princess Kunxing. When leaving, Princess Kunxing suddenly said: "If Eunuch Chang is free later, can you go there?"
Kunning Palace, I have some business matters to ask for advice on."
Chang Yu quickly agreed, and Emperor Chongzhen had no objections and didn't think much about it. After all, this confidant eunuch in front of him not only knew how to fight, but also did business. In fact, this confidant eunuch was in charge of all the royal family's business behind the scenes. Kun Xing came to him.
Discussing business is also the most normal thing.
As soon as Queen Zhou and Princess Kunxing left, Emperor Chongzhen also stood up and walked out of the palace to stretch in the courtyard: "Of course I want to expand my territory, but what I want most right now is peace at home."
"It's nothing to worry about, just a thief. Your Majesty, please give me some more time." Chang Yu bowed behind him and said. Emperor Chongzhen slightly said, "A mere thief? Hey, if Sun Chuanting and others listen to your words, they will be angry."
"It would be a good thing if Governor Sun and others can be revived. I won't have to fight alone." Chang Yu sighed casually. Emperor Chongzhen looked at him sideways and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chang Yu hurriedly said: "I will do my best to share the emperor's worries and ministers' duties without any hesitation!"
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't follow the empty tricks of civil servants. If you have something to say, just say it." Chang Yu coughed lightly: "This game of chess is a bit big. I can't play it alone. I will have to play with General Zhou, General Li and others later.
Plan well."
How could Emperor Chongzhen fail to understand the meaning of his words? He smiled dullly and said, "Do you think those people will impeach you for being a clique?"
The king and his ministers looked at each other and smiled.
As a powerful eunuch secretly having a secret meeting with a military boss, it would naturally arouse criticism and make the emperor suspicious, but if it was made clear, it would be different.
"If you don't mention this, I have forgotten that Zhou Yuji's house was completed today. Didn't I send you a message?" Emperor Chongzhen said and approached Wang Chengen: "Take a handle of jade Ruyi and send it to Zhou Yuji. Go there in person."
.
After Wang Chengen left, Chang Yu said: "People talk too much and it is not appropriate for me to go there."
"Now you know how to guard against your bad words." Emperor Chongzhen snorted: "If you had done this earlier, it would have saved me a lot of worry."
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing.
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you going to leave Beijing soon?" Chongzhen asked again. Chang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I want to go away from home after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Hey, you are trying to muddy the water over there, and you have to go there yourself," Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile. Chang Yu shrugged, "Winter is coming soon, so we can't let them have an easy time."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen also frowned: "It's getting colder and colder every year. I'm afraid this winter won't be easy either."
Chang Yu just responded, and Emperor Chongzhen glanced at him and said: "This year, many ancestors have been asking for pay, silver and food and grass. He also has military fields and should have a lot of surplus. Why is he still so dissatisfied?"
, there was a huge quarrel in the court over this matter."
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can you just think about the donkey pulling the grindstone without feeding the donkey? There are constant conflicts at the border, and a big conflict may break out at any time. Moreover, once the winter snows and the roads are blocked, food and grass supplies will not be available. If there is a war, wouldn't it be dangerous?
, General Zu is called to prepare for a rainy day, and he has suffered great losses in this regard."
Emperor Chongzhen was startled, then sighed and said nothing.
When Zu Dashou was guarding Jinzhou, there was no food and grass. It was really like eating horses and eating people.
No one knows that feeling of despair better than he does.
"So you borrowed so much grain and grass from various vassals to supply Ningyuan?" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were very meaningful when he said this. Chang Yu shook his head: "Part of it is supplied to Ningyuan, part of it is supplied to Jiubian, and part of it is used as a capital."
Reserve, we can’t have another famine this year.”
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned: "Will there be a famine this year?"
