"Oh, please help me get dressed!" Emperor Tianqi gently walked out of bed and ordered to the palace maid. He has not adapted to many things during this period of time, but he has learned to enjoy this thing to the fullest. It seems that no matter what

People are always lazy!

"How many years have you been in the palace?" Emperor Tianqi asked accidentally when the palace maid was dressing Emperor Tianqi.

"Back to Your Majesty, this slave entered the palace at the age of nine, and it has been thirty years now." The palace maid was slightly stunned, then thought about it and said calmly.

"Thirty years, how many thirty years are there in a person's life. Why did you enter the palace in the first place?" At this time, Emperor Tianqi felt the urge to release these maids from the palace for the first time. For them, they stayed in the palace.

This may not be a good thing.

"There was a drought at home and the whole family went into exile. In the end, my parents had no choice but to sell me. After several transactions with human traffickers, I was bought into the palace by a father-in-law. It has been thirty years now."

The tone of the palace maid was very calm, as if she was really telling something that had nothing to do with her, but in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, it was lifeless. It seemed that after living in this place for a long time, people had turned into walking zombies.

"Where is the Queen Mother? I'm going to say hello." Emperor Tianqi asked the maid behind him after gently helping him put on his clothes. After washing, he asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is currently reciting sutras in the Buddhist hall, but she left a message before she left." The maid seemed to have anticipated Emperor Tianqi's thoughts. She pondered for a moment, bowed respectfully, and said slowly.

"Say." Emperor Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly said: "It seems that people in this world have a common hobby when they get older, which is to eat fast and chant Buddha's name."

"The Queen Mother said that the country of Ming Dynasty can no longer withstand the storm. I hope that Your Majesty can work diligently and love the people. If you do a good job, the Queen Mother will be very happy. As for those false etiquette, don't pay attention to them. The Queen Mother knows the emperor's thoughts." The palace maid.

He was obviously paraphrasing the Queen Mother's words, probably because he sang it when he was around the Queen Mother, and his demeanor seemed to be somewhat similar. Emperor Tianqi was amused but did not expose it.

After leaving Cining Palace, Emperor Tianqi returned to Qianqing Palace. After breakfast, he came to the Imperial Study Room. Looking at Li Lan and Chen Hong who were already waiting here, Emperor Tianqi felt a little warm in his heart. Maybe this was because he was

It feels like waiting!

Through this period of life in the palace, Emperor Tianqi gradually understood why so many emperors in the Ming Dynasty doted on eunuchs. For these princes who grew up in the deep palace compounds, father's love and mother's love were both a luxury.

.The father is busy with his career (actually prostitution), and the mother is busy assisting the father (actually to take care of her lustful husband), so these people have no time to care about their sons. On the contrary, these eunuchs who watched the prince grow up, they

Perhaps out of interest, or out of love, after all, they are all people without sons! In the end, they are very good to the prince, at least in the prince's eyes. This kind of trust and affection established since childhood is not only very difficult to let go of

, it is difficult for outsiders to have any effect.

For the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, most of them had an unfortunate childhood, and perhaps this was the main reason for their mediocrity.

"Concubine, slave, I have met the emperor." He gently waved his hand to indicate that the two of them were level, and Emperor Tianqi said to Li Lan: "Is there any urgent news?"

Because Emperor Tianqi liked the little girl Li Lan very much, and she was also literate, she helped Emperor Tianqi approve many memorials. Even if she didn't help Emperor Tianqi approve the memorials, Emperor Tianqi still had to let her read the memorials.

, and then read it to yourself. Although Emperor Apocalypse now is not like Emperor Apocalypse in history, who has never learned anything, he still has no way to deal with classical Chinese writing in traditional Chinese characters. Not to mention writing, he can’t even read it now.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing important to say." At this time, Li Lan was more mature and steady, and it was difficult to find the obedient little girl anymore.

"Well", Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly and said to Chen Hong: "Go and find Wang An." Seeing that Chen Hong left, Emperor Tianqi said to Li Lan: "Lan'er, I think the maids in the palace are really too much.

It's hard work, and it seems too cruel to let them die of old age in the palace. I want to release a group of maids out of the palace, what do you think?" Emperor Tianqi told Li Lan his thoughts, and after discussing with her for a period of time, he has become Emperor Tianqi.

got used to it.

"Your Majesty, concubine, to be honest, your Majesty may have good intentions, but if this decree continues, I'm afraid many sisters will not survive." After getting to know each other during this period, Li Lan knew that Emperor Tianqi liked her to tell the truth.

Not only are they not punished, but they are rewarded, so it's natural that they don't take it into account when they say angry things.

"Why do you say that? I will naturally not let the maids who don't want to leave the palace leave. Only those who want to leave the palace will I let them go." Emperor Tianqi naturally knew that many maids had lived in the palace all their lives and were old and frail.

Without the protection of the palace, not only can't you live a better life, but you can easily lose your life. Such things are not uncommon in history.

"It is naturally best for the emperor to do this. I would like to thank your majesty on behalf of the sisters in the palace." Li Lan did not expect that Emperor Tianqi had already thought of everything he had thought of, and he admired Emperor Tianqi even more in his heart.

The news that Emperor Apocalypse had dismissed his maids had just come out, and there was a burst of discussion in the capital, followed immediately by unanimous praise. Countless ministers, countless excerpts, for a time it seemed that Emperor Apocalypse had become the most sage emperor in the world, and the Ming Dynasty seemed to be in peace and prosperity.

generally.

In such an atmosphere, winter has come. In this desolate winter, everything seems to be quiet. The world is peaceful, and the ministers and Emperor Tianqi are doing nothing all day long. The only thing that makes people confused is that the Huangzhuang to the east of the capital has not been there lately.

It is very plain, but there are always violent explosions, which makes people in the capital not have a good rest.

Although some ministers reported the matter to Emperor Apocalypse, there was no news about it. Some people sent their servants to inquire about it, but they were driven back by a group of fierce men. Everyone knew that there must be something wrong here.

Ordinarily, even thoughtful people already knew that there was the sound of artillery, but no one went to find that trouble.

Since this incident happened in the imperial palace, Emperor Tianqi must have known about it. Since nothing was revealed, none of these ministers would go looking for trouble.

In addition to this incident, there seemed to be some Westerners suddenly appearing in the capital, blond and blue-eyed, speaking various languages, but not many people paid attention to them.

In this way, the year finally passed in peace and tranquility, and the first year of the Apocalypse ushered in.
