"Liu Aiqing, how sure are you about this matter?" Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his emotions and pretended to be calm and said to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but be a little startled when she heard this. She had expressed her feelings so straightforwardly, but Emperor Chongzhen still hadn't made up his mind?
You want to achieve results, but you don't want to take responsibility. How can anything in this world be so cheap?
After all these things, Liu Ruyi thought that she had a deep understanding of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, but she didn't expect that even though she had spent so much effort, she still couldn't make Emperor Chongzhen have the courage!
Mu Ran, an indescribable anger suddenly surged into Liu Ruyi's forehead!
"Your Majesty, no one can say anything about this kind of thing! The battlefield is the cruelest place in the world. I can do it myself. Today I can have dinner and chat with you, Your Majesty.
, but tomorrow, I may turn into a handful of loess in Liaodong!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he took a deep breath, lowered his head slightly, and said no more!
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen also knew that what he was doing was a little unreasonable, so he laughed and said: "Liu Aiqing, please don't say such depressing words! I see your loyalty and your bravery, and I will keep it in my heart."
!It’s just that the affairs of the imperial court at the moment... ah~~! I can’t help myself with many things!"
Emperor Chongzhen stood up in person, filled a glass of sake for Liu Ruyi, and said: "Liu Aiqing, as the saying goes, a horse's power can be seen through a long journey, and a person's heart can be seen through time! Come, let's drink this glass of wine!"
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp!
However, Liu Ruyi saw a deep loneliness in his eyes!
Like a helpless young man, walking alone in the boundless wilderness!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but take a deep breath and try to calm down her emotions!
In fact, it’s no wonder that Emperor Chongzhen was so cautious in doing things!
Someone in later generations once said: 'The most critical moment for the formation of a person's character is in his youth!'
But looking back at Emperor Chongzhen's boyhood, there was almost only bitterness and loneliness!
His father died young. Although his brother loved him dearly, he was the most famous ‘Carpenter Emperor’ in history. Making furniture and dolls may be his specialty, but it was really difficult for him to govern the country and bring peace to the world!
No wonder, later generations of Manchus and Qing Dynasties designated his posthumous title as "Xizong"!
Although his father and brother left the foundation of the Ming Dynasty to Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen has not received the treatment that a prince should receive since he was a child!
The so-called treatment of a prince, a good education is only one aspect, but the most important thing is that the prince should have controlling connections!
During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the principle of choosing a prince was basically based on the eldest son system!
Except for the eldest son, due to the special historical reasons of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the other princes to have one-tenth of the resources of the crown prince!
Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne at the age of sixteen. He was an ignorant boy with thin shoulders. He had to shoulder the huge mess left by his father and brother. It was not easy for him to reach this point!
Liu Ruyi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one breath, but there was only bitterness in her chest and abdomen!
I don’t know why, maybe because of the influence of later generations, Liu Ruyi has a deep compassion for Emperor Chongzhen in his heart!
Perhaps, this cannot be called 'pity', but an unspeakable deep regret!
At this time, seeing Emperor Chongzhen's thin face, Liu Ruyi's originally hard heart unnaturally softened a little!
"Your Majesty, in this world, every gain must come with a loss! If you are seriously ill, you must still take strong medicine! Otherwise, if you are really seriously ill, even Daluo Jinxian will not be able to save you!" Liu Ruyi looked at her.
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes slowly said.
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Liu Ruyi's eyes, and suddenly a fierce look flashed across his eyes!
Liu Ruyi's words are already quite heartbreaking!
It is almost like telling Emperor Chongzhen clearly that if he does not change, Ming Dynasty may really want the royal family to be exterminated!
However, Liu Ruyi didn't care about Emperor Chongzhen's stern gaze. Now that he said these words, Liu Ruyi already had a choice in her heart!
"Your Majesty, the reason why I say these words to you today is not because you are the Emperor and I am your minister! It's just because we both want to revive the Ming Dynasty and restore our Chinese nation.
The prosperous age of the Celestial Dynasty! By the way, I have been able to make it this far, and I am really tired after wearing the mask for so long! Your Majesty, today, I just regard you as my Liu Ruyi’s friend! As my Liu Ruyi’s brother!
Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are spring!
The current situation may be much more critical than we imagined!
Maybe, if I set foot on the battlefield tomorrow, I will not come back! But Your Majesty, as your friend and brother, I have the responsibility and obligation to remind you! Although the world of Ming Dynasty belongs to your Zhu family! But it is also the world of your Zhu family!
I have countless Chinese sons and daughters in the world! If one day, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties enter the customs, it will be an unprecedented and huge disaster for the entire Chinese nation! You and I will become sinners in Chinese history!!!
Yes! That’s right! He’s a sinner!!!”
Liu Ruyi stared hard into Emperor Chongzhen's eyes. At this time, he didn't care about the so-called inferiority. He picked up the wine bottle on the side and poured it all into his stomach!
"Your Majesty, you are a good emperor! I, Liu Ruyi, admire you from the bottom of my heart! Three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, your diligence, Your Majesty, is probably even worse than that of Taizu! So, I
I don’t want to think that a good emperor like you will not get the happy ending he deserves!
In this battle of Liaodong, I, Liu Ruyi, can swear to you here! I will definitely try my best, even if it costs me my wealth and life, I will definitely open up a situation for you! But, the rest, it all depends on you.
!”
"Where's the wine? Is there any more wine?" Liu Ruyi shook the empty wine bottle and shouted to the little eunuch who was hiding far behind him.
Emperor Chongzhen's face was ashen, with mixed emotions in his eyes. He snatched the exquisite wine flask from Liu Ruyi's hand, threw it to the ground, and shouted to the little eunuch beside him: "Go, serve me wine! Don't use the wine flask,
Bring the jar and the big bowl! By the way, bring the jar of aged apricot blossoms that I treasure too!!”
"Yes, yes!" The little eunuch had never seen such a scene before. He didn't dare to express his anger and left in a hurry!
After a while, several young eunuchs carried several jars of fine wine and placed them in front of Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Ruyi!
Just as the young eunuch was about to pour the wine, Emperor Chongzhen pushed him away roughly, "Get out of here, no one is allowed to come here today without my order!"
"Yes! Yes!" Several young eunuchs quickly dispersed and ran away!
Emperor Chongzhen personally unsealed the wine jar, lifted it up with difficulty, filled a bowl for Liu Ruyi, and then filled a bowl for himself, "Liu Aiqing, drink!"
Liu Ruyi was not polite, picked up the wine bowl, which was about half a catty, and drank it all in one gulp!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Liu Ruyi's bold appearance, gritted his teeth, and drank all the wine in the bowl! Then, he stood upside down over the empty bowl and gestured to Liu Ruyi!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing, "Okay! Your Majesty, be happy!"
Liu Ruyi immediately picked up the wine jar, filled it for Emperor Chongzhen, and then filled it for himself!
"Your Majesty, it is said that if you are happy in life, you must have all the fun. Don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon! Today, although we are not happy, we must drink this wine! I don't know what you are thinking about now, and I don't want to
I know what you are thinking right now!
However, if you want to kill me now, I'm afraid I can't let you do it!
I, Liu Ruyi, am both old and young, and I cannot abandon them! But I can assure you that if it really comes to that point, I may go to the depths of the sea and find a remote island to live in seclusion. I will never
Be your enemy!
Come on! Finish this bowl!"
Liu Ruyi picked up the wine bowl, touched it hard with Emperor Chongzhen's wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp!
Emperor Chongzhen's face was already a little flushed, but without saying a word, he picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his stomach!
However, perhaps because he did not drink often, he accidentally choked on the alcohol and kept coughing!
But he refused to admit defeat. He held on and drank all the wine in the bowl! Then, he gestured to Liu Ruyi with the empty wine bowl!
Liu Ruyi nodded, but did not pour any more wine for Emperor Chongzhen. Instead, he picked up the wine jar and drank a lot. Then, Liu Ruyi slammed the wine jar to the ground, and the rich
The aroma of fine wine overflows instantly!
Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, he just stared into Liu Ruyi's eyes!
Liu Ruyi suddenly showed a faint smile, and burped a wine-smelling belch without grace, "Your Majesty, you are very good! Very good! Even for your drink today, the situation in Liaodong will be over.
I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly laughed too. He was not a big drinker. After two bowls of sex with Liu Ruyi today, he had exceeded his limit, but his consciousness was still very clear!
"Liu Aiqing, Brother Liu! Do you know? When I first saw you, I felt that you were different from ordinary people! Do you know why?"
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Liu Ruyi, but did not wait for Liu Ruyi's answer, but continued: "It's because of your eyes!!! I believe that a person's mouth can tell thousands of lies, but~~
His eyes, no matter how hard he tries to hide them, never lie! Since I came to the throne, I have seen countless people! From the old champion of the pavilion to the traffickers and lackeys! What kind of people have I not seen?"
Emperor Chongzhen did not have the manners of a king. He casually grabbed a handful of pastries on the table and stuffed them into his mouth, "But do you know? Liu Aiqing? Those people, I can know just through his eyes.
What do you want from me? Some people want money, some want official positions, some want beautiful women, and some even think they are talented and want to treat me like a monkey! But Liu Aiqing, do you know? I
