Liu Shishi didn't expect Lin Chong to say such a sentence in such a serious manner. It took him a long time to react and said: "I have been in the palace for more than half a month. Is there anything I don't feel comfortable with? Your Majesty, please
I’m really worrying too much.”
Lin Chong scratched his head and said: "I see that you have a miserable face all day long. You must not be living a very happy life. In fact, I am not living a happy life in this palace. To a certain extent, we are all involuntarily."
Liu Shishi couldn't guess the purpose of the emperor's sudden words. But she still replied respectfully: "I don't feel anything unhappy. Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body and don't worry about unnecessary things."
Lin Chong sighed: "There are some things that cannot be told to outsiders."
Liu Shishi saw that he seemed to be sad again, so she stopped talking about this topic. She suddenly thought of something and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Don't you have something to do with me? Is it possible that you just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with me here?"
Lin Chong coughed slightly: "I really have something to do with you! It's about your adoptive father."
"My adoptive father?"
"That's right, Ming people don't tell secrets. I can see that your purpose of coming to me is roughly the same as Li Qingjun's. But there is something I need your help with right now."
After he finished speaking, he waved and motioned Liu Shishi to come closer to him to talk. Liu Shishi was also a little curious. Unexpectedly, after guessing his identity, the Emperor even bluntly said that he wanted to help him handle things.
She raised her eyebrows rather arrogantly, "Now that you have guessed my identity, how can you be sure that I am willing to help you?"
Lin Chong smiled slyly: "Because the thing I want you to help with is very simple, and it won't do any harm to your adoptive father. Not only is there no harm, it can even save him a lot of energy."
Liu Shishi was curious: "Then why did your Majesty do this?"
Lin Chong thought to himself: How can I tell you what I'm thinking? If you tell that old fox Li Chuang back, won't all my plans be in vain?
So he used his usual moves and looked up at the sky at a 45° angle: "I am not a qualified emperor. I cannot let my people live and work in peace and contentment, and I have to let them fight in the battlefield. I just hope that more people can have the opportunity."
Go back to your hometown and take a look at your parents, wife and children."
This is actually true. War is cruel, but Lin Chong still hopes that more people can survive.
Liu Shishi obviously didn't expect that he would say such words. She seemed a little moved and looked at Lin Chong with admiration. She pondered for a moment: "Tell me and listen."
Lin Chong chuckled, and went over to whisper a few words in her ear. Liu Shishi seemed a little surprised after hearing his words. She thought about it seriously and then replied to Lin Chong: "I will try my best."
Lin Chong was very satisfied with her answer and knew that she was somewhat moved by what he just said. In fact, he was not worried about Liu Shishi's ability.
After solving a troublesome matter, Lin Chong felt hungry again. He thought about the delicacies of the Wei family and the meager food he had in the palace. He couldn't help but lament. At the same time, he became more determined to rectify the Wei family as soon as possible.
He was in a daze and thought of Yuan Qingfang again. He wondered what she was doing at the moment? Did she eat well? Did she sleep well? Did she think of herself for a moment?
After eating, he summoned Gu Yanwu again and asked him about the disaster relief. Gu Yanwu was indeed a rare talent. He was devoted to serving the people and enforcing the law impartially and never embezzled a penny of the disaster relief money. But there were too many homeless people in the city.
, many people are now homeless. The national treasury is really empty, and relying on soup kitchens to survive is not a long-term solution.
After hearing this, Lin Chong also felt a headache. The internal and external troubles were really pushing him too hard. He thought about it seriously and then said to Gu Yanwu: "It is really not an option to continue like this. The disaster relief has been going on for a while. It's time to do something about it."
It’s time to make effective use of this group of refugees. Notices will be posted everywhere in the city tomorrow. The court hopes that more young and middle-aged people will join the army so that they can not only have enough to eat, have a place to go, but also become important personnel in protecting the country.
strength."
After posting notices in the city, many young and middle-aged people were indeed willing to join the army. After all, joining the army would not only give them enough food to eat, but also get money every month. At the same time, Lin Chong also launched a work-for-relief program to give more refugees something to do. There are
With food to eat and things to do, there wouldn't be so many people thinking about rebellion all day long. Wang Chengen was quite surprised by Lin Chong's methods of handling things. He didn't expect Lin Chong at such a young age to be able to come up with these methods.
Lin Chong remembered a history class in the first year of high school. Everyone was so sleepy that they couldn't cheer up at all. The young class teacher jokingly said, when you become the leader of the country, you will know that these things are useful. Unexpectedly, he
One day I will really become a leader, or the top leader of the country! Teacher, I need your help!
Two days later, just after the morning court, someone reported that it was Li Zicheng who asked for an audience. Although he had been named King of Qin, he had not yet summoned the world, and there was no formal decree. His identity was somewhat embarrassing.
Lin Chong was not surprised by his arrival, and felt a little secretly happy. It seemed that what he asked Liu Shishi to do was effective, so he quickly announced Li Zicheng's visit to the imperial study. As expected, Li Zicheng saluted and said a few polite words before heading straight to
Subject: "Your Majesty, the Qing thieves are cunning and outnumber us. Does your Majesty have any good ideas?"
Lin Chong secretly laughed in his heart, why is it not there? Don't you already know my good recipe? But he made a troubled look on his face: "What the King of Qin said is true, and I am also worried about this. Could it be that Ai Qing already has something?"
A clever idea?"
Li Zicheng felt proud, but he still put on a humble face, "Is there any clever idea? It's just a small idea." "What are your ideas? Tell me what you think?" Lin Chong pretended to be a good student.
Li Zicheng lowered his voice: "Now everyone is saying that I am the one who sent the troops. I think Dorgon must have heard about it, and he must be fully prepared at this moment. If we go head-to-head with him, even if we win, we will definitely suffer losses."
Tragic, if we have one now..."
"Substituting a weak point for a weak point?"
Li Zicheng was surprised: "Yes, your Majesty is indeed wise."
Lin Chong was secretly happy. Liu Shishi's words were indeed quite useful. Li Zicheng had already been persuaded. On the one hand, he wanted to show his loyalty in front of Chongzhen, but on the other hand, he definitely didn't want to lose his troops. Such a civet cat
Changing the crown prince can not only show loyalty and preserve strength, but also consume Wu Sangui's cavalry. Why not?
He pretended to frown: "Ai Qing's idea is very good, but Mr. Wu may not be willing to cooperate with it."
