Chapter 76 The Pragmatic Words of Emperor Chongzhen
Chapter 76 Emperor Chongzhen’s pragmatic words
Emperor Chongzhen first stretched out the corners of his clothes and sat down slowly, and then Concubine Chang Guifei sat down beside him.
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and Chang Xiao leaned forward and sat on the chair. At this time, he really felt like he didn't dare to make a mistake, not because of the emperor's majesty, but because of the old man behind the emperor with a crystal ruler hanging from his waist.
, thinking about the time when I wanted to bring a gun into the palace, and killed Emperor Chongzhen with one shot, I often laughed and sweated on my back. This emperor was really not that easy to kill!
The eunuchs and maids serving the emperor all exited and waited outside. In the room of hundreds of square meters, only two tables, one large and one small, were left, as well as the emperor, the old man, Concubine Chang Guifei and Chang Guifei.
Smiling, he immediately seemed calmer.
"This is a family banquet. There is no need to be so formal. Concubine, you didn't tell me that some of your children are practicing immortality!"
Concubine Chang Gui was stunned, but she didn't know that Chang Xiao had cultivated Qi. She only knew that Chang Xiao had learned some nasty techniques from an immortal master.
"Dale did learn some lessons from a Taoist priest when he was in his hometown of Wufeng County, but I'm afraid he didn't even get the hang of it!" Concubine Chang glanced at Chang Guifei and said with a smile. In the palace, some things are better than those outside.
People need to know more, Concubine Chang also knows very little about immortal matters.
The emperor smiled and did not continue the topic. At this time, the maids and eunuchs quietly brought the meals that had been prepared to the table.
The atmosphere became a little more relaxed, and it was only then that Chang Xiao saw the true face of the emperor who was hanged on the coal mountain.
To Chang Xiao's surprise, he always thought that as the last king, he should be dim-witted no matter how you say it, with a big belly, a round waist and a fat face. How could he be worthy of the name of a subjugated king if he didn't look like this?
But at this time, the words Chongzhen and Hun Xie were completely unrelated to each other. On the contrary, as soon as Chang Xiao saw this person, he knew that this person was extremely shrewd, and his eyes had all-seeing wisdom.
There are three types of people in the world, smart people, fools and foolish people.
The so-called smart people are those who don't look very smart and sometimes suffer a little loss. This kind of person basically never lies to others. In the eyes of others, he is very honest and trustworthy. He is a person worthy of close friendship.
.
But basically, people who don’t lie will also lie. The reason why they don’t lie is because the things they cheat cannot reach the price of their integrity. Once such a person cheats, then you will be played by him even if you are a god.
This is a smart man. There is always no shortage of friends around him.
A fool is the kind of real fool who is not smart, very stupid, and doesn't lie very much, because he can't deceive people. Unless this kind of person encounters such a thing as fools have stupid blessings, they are destined to be mediocre. Foolish people
There is also no shortage of friends, because you will not suffer when you are with a fool, and you will deliberately take advantage of the fool. Occasionally, your conscience will find that you have to give the fool some benefits to make up for it.
There is another type of person, the stupid person. This kind of person is extremely shrewd, good at arithmetic, and usually comes from a science background. Of course, those from a liberal arts background are often better than others. He just needs to be engraved with the words "I am the shrewdest" on his forehead. Everyone knows him.
Being shrewd means that everyone keeps a respectful distance from him, and everyone is afraid of suffering from him. A person who is shrewd in every aspect is actually regarded as being put aside by the people who are close to him. This kind of person is too shrewd.
But the man in front of me cannot be called a human being. He is an emperor. His shrewdness is displayed everywhere, even a bit aggressive. This is not stupidity, this is real shrewdness. It is a higher level than a smart person, because he shows his shrewdness.
It has become a kind of coercion, telling you clearly that you can't deceive me, I know everything, don't play tricks in front of me, let alone play tricks behind my back, because I have eyes behind my back!
The emperor does not need to consider how others treat him, he only needs to know whether others have deceived him! A wise emperor will find out that he has been deceived after being deceived, and a smarter emperor will scare the liar before he is deceived.
Don't dare to lie to people.
A shrewd emperor is the most terrifying emperor. Chang Xiao was even a little confused. Who was this really the last monarch? How could such an emperor lose the entire Han Dynasty and have the Ming Dynasty stolen by the Tatars in a corner?
Chang Xiao's desire to be an emperor has always been based on the ignorance and incompetence of Emperor Chongzhen. However, the emperor in front of him is obviously smart and has a good appearance. Sitting there, he will have a majestic aura. Perhaps
It was because Chang Xiao had cultivated his true energy that he could even vaguely see a heavenly dragon coiling above his head. It was ferocious and ferocious. Anyone who dared to covet his position as emperor would be devoured by this heavenly dragon, leaving no bones behind.
Half a point left.
This is clearly the pattern of an emperor who was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and worked hard to govern. However, the emperor seemed a little tired, not the kind of tiredness caused by excessive drinking and sex, but the kind of tiredness caused by Zen energy and lack of sleep. Chang Xiao could tell that on the surface, this emperor
Although the radiant emperor has strong self-confidence, he is full of sorrow and has nowhere to relieve himself, and he is full of fatigue and has nowhere to release it.
Chang Xiao originally heard a lot of rumors about Emperor Chongzhen from Chang Sheng. Even Concubine Chang had been telling him that the emperor knew practical matters and could not be deceived. Chang Xiao nodded on the surface, but disapproved in his heart. In his opinion,
What can a king who has subjugated his country know? Maybe he was like the Jin family in his previous life, who boasted about shooting guns at the age of three and riding horses at the age of eight. But at this time, Chang Xiao knew that this emperor was indeed not easy to deceive. Looking at those eyes that doubted everything,
You can tell by looking at everyone as if they are thieves who want to steal their belongings.
There were not many food and drinks on the table in front of Emperor Chongzhen. There were only nine dishes on the large table, and the portions were very small. The plate was quite large. Although it was very delicate, it was not rich. It looked particularly shabby when placed on the huge table.
Stingy. Chang laughs that even if he usually spends ten times more on a meal than this.
There were three dishes on Chang Xiao's table. Chang Xiao didn't even bother to see what they were. A casual glance revealed that the dishes were very simple and there was nothing expensive about them. In Chang Xiao's opinion, this kind of dish was a treat.
My relatives and friends are really shabby, and this stingy emperor is so stingy.
There was also a small pot of wine. The wine smelled quite good and should be considered a fine wine.
Emperor Chongzhen raised his glass with a smile and said, "This is the first time I have met your nephew. Thanks to you, I haven't had nine dishes on this table for a long time. Come, come, drink this glass to the full."
Chang Xiao was stunned, what does it mean that nine dishes have not been served for a long time? Does it mean that the emperor usually has a table of dishes, but today there are less dishes? It seems that this is not the case. Later Chang Xiao found out that this
Emperor Chongzhen only had three or four dishes every time he ate, and his life was considered very poor.
If the emperor didn't drink the toast, he would have to drink wine as a penalty. Chang Xiao didn't have time to think carefully, so he raised his glass quickly and drank it all in one gulp.
Then Chongzhen looked Chang Xiao up and down again. In fact, Chang Xiao's age was not much different from Chongzhen's. Chongzhen was only twenty years old this year. Chang Guifei was two years older than Chongzhen, and the concubine was older than the emperor. This kind of thing did not happen to the emperor.
It is relatively rare, but when Concubine Chang married Chongzhen, Chongzhen was not the emperor but King Xin, and he was not even the heir to the throne. The heir was his brother Ming Xizong, and he did not expect that the throne would fall on him.
Therefore, there was not so much care at that time. Chongzhen and Concubine Chang had met several times in private and they liked each other. Therefore, although Concubine Chang was two years older than King Xin at the time, she still naturally married into the royal family.
.
Later, the situation changed, and the fish and dragons transformed. Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty reigned for seven years and died at the age of twenty-three. Whether he had any heirs or not, the throne fell to Chongzhen. Chang Xiao’s aunt became what she is today.
Royal concubine.
Young people look at young people and they are relatives, so they naturally have a different angle of appreciation. At this time, Chang Xiao has an angular face, a strong body, and an upright posture. Sitting there, he is like a fully-drawn bow, with an explosive power that can be played at any time.
It feels like Young Master Chang has a good foundation in the first place. After Chang Xiao cultivated his true energy, he chopped off his hair and washed his marrow. His whole temperament changed drastically, and he even felt slightly shiny. It made Chang Xiao have a refined temperament.
It is indeed a rare and dignified appearance among ordinary people.
"Very good." Emperor Chongzhen praised a few words and then said: "Dale, you are the only one in your Chang family. Concubine Chang often mentions you in my ears, saying that you are a brave young man with some talents. I hope you can serve me.
Contribute to the country and the country, but I don’t know what your plans are?”
Chang Xiao had drafted this question before, but it was based on the fact that Chongzhen was a dim-witted emperor. Now he can no longer use that set of gorgeous and exaggerated words to explain the matter. The emperor in front of him is indeed as Concubine Chang Guifei said.
Yan is a very pragmatic guy!
After Chang Xiao thought about it for a while, he put down the wine glass in his hand, his expression became a little sad, and said: "The common man reported back to the emperor. The common man was originally just a naughty dandy in Wufeng County. He walked his horse and dog every day and played around.
He has done many evil things to bring harm to the village!"
Hearing this, Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if a little surprised, and then looked at Concubine Chang. Concubine Chang's face turned cold and green, how could Chang Xiao be such a stupid person?
Did you also say this in front of the emperor? Isn't this embarrassing her as an aunt? Even if you say that you have little ambition, such exaggerated words are hundreds of times stronger than saying this. Could it be that I told him before to stop talking nonsense?
He just used this kind of rhetoric? This is really bastard.
Chang Xiao paused for a moment, not looking at the emperor and the concubine. Instead, he stood up, faced outside the house, and said: "However, after coming out of Wufeng County, the common people met with bones and bones along the way, starving people everywhere, and the refugees changed their lives.
As for the food, there were few women, children and old people in the team. I don’t know who was wrapped in the belly. The bandits roared in and gathered away. With a call from the top, tens of thousands of rogue bandits formed in an instant. Even Deyang City was unable to protect itself.
Peace was shattered overnight, Minbao villages were razed to the ground overnight, people were killed and injured, and countless families were separated from each other in an instant. It was really desolate everywhere, and there was blood at every step!"
When Chang Xiao said these words, Emperor Chongzhen frowned even deeper. His eyes seemed to be emitting electric light, flashing endlessly. His palms were slightly clenched under the table, but his words were faintly said: "My country, the Ming Dynasty, has fallen so far.
Are you done?" There was no trace of kindness in these words, and the coldness in them was like a knife on Chang Xiao's neck.
Concubine Chang Guifei's complexion had completely turned livid at this time. She called Chang Xiao here to find a fortune for the Chang family, not to exterminate the Chang family. If Chang Xiao kept talking like this, the Chang family was not far away from being extinct!
She was well aware of the temperament of the person sitting next to her. Although Emperor Chongzhen was young, he had a certain fierceness and never stopped killing people overnight. With just a few strokes of his hand, the Wei Zhongxian family that had occupied the government and the public for decades was eliminated.
This can be seen by killing all the eunuchs and eunuchs.
Chang Xiao turned around, knelt down and worshiped Chongzhen, and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will perish!"
