The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 270 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger

Ever since he tasted Liu Rushi's tenderness like water, Emperor Xiaozhu has become a little bit savvy, almost to the point where he is favored by every night.

At this moment, the huge bedroom was completely silent, only the sound of heavy breathing remained.

Under the lamplight, within the curtain, Liu Rushi was lying quietly in Zhu Cihuang's arms, and was about to lightly part her fragrant lips, when there was movement from outside.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are two urgent documents from the Anton Protectorate's Mansion."

"Oh, two copies?"

Zhu Cihong, who was reminiscing, opened his eyes suddenly, and said in surprise.

Liu Rushi quickly supported his weak body to help him sit up.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The lights in the dormitory were very bright, the female general stood far away without looking sideways, and answered concisely.

"Send it in."

Zhu Cihong was not angry, but rather curious.

"Yes!"

The female general also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and left the inner room, but her legs were slightly weak. Obviously, she had waited in the outer room until the movement inside stopped before choosing to come in to report.

After a while, the female officer was brought in, nervous and anxious, but also curious and expectant.

Although it was too ruthless to make peace with the emperor and be thrown into limbo.

But the phenomenon of moths flying to the flame cannot be completely eliminated. Obviously, this female officer is one of them.

There are strict regulations in the palace. The female soldiers and generals are only responsible for guarding the safety, they can only report, and cannot directly deliver official documents, so the female officials must personally report to the emperor in person.

"Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the envoy Hou Xun and deputy envoy Huang Degong of the Anton Governor's Mansion have sent two copies of the six-hundred-mile expedited memorial."

The female officer had already been carefully searched outside, so after being brought in, she went directly to the dragon couch to report.

Zhu Cihong sat on the dragon couch and stretched out a hand to take the memorial, while Liu Rushi hid in the bed.

The female officer stood aside respectfully, but her eyes looked inward from time to time, and the female general at the side also hurriedly brought a glazed lamp to serve her.

After Zhu Cilang read the two memorials, he also gave a wry smile, secretly thinking that his negligence for a while had caused civil and military discord in the Anton Governor's Mansion again.

However, he also knew that this was Hou Xun. If he were a civil servant in the south, he would definitely choose to be patient and wouldn't do so many things.

"Your Majesty, another major event happened on the grassland?"

Seeing the strange expression on the little emperor's face, Liu Rushi forced himself to get out of the bed and asked curiously.

Although she has become the emperor's woman, she is still the head of the inner court in name, the closest female official around the emperor, and all military and political affairs do not need to be avoided, and she can be contacted, but it is limited to contact, except for royal affairs. You can't intervene in the military and political affairs of the government, not even the three factories and one guard in the inner court.

"It's not a big deal, you can see for yourself."

Zhu Cihong handed the memorial to her, but didn't care about her curiosity.

He knew that Liu Rushi was actually very keen on the general situation of the world. When he was in Jiangnan, he often talked about the current situation with those talented scholars. After Qian Qianyi disappeared in North Korea, he also often got involved with Shi Kefa, Hou Xun and other Donglin officials. Together, making suggestions and analyzing the current situation is a lot of fun.

Sure enough, after reading the two memorials, Liu Rushi opened his mouth and wanted to express his opinion. Fortunately, he remembered his identity and held back in time, and handed the memorials back to Zhu Cihong in embarrassment.

Seeing that she was hesitating to speak, Zhu Cihong just smiled and said to the female officer, "Back off first!"

"Yes!"

The two of them didn't say much, and retreated after receiving the memorial, one secretly rejoiced, the other slightly disappointed.

"Why, do you have any opinions and suggestions on this matter, madam?"

"The courtiers and concubines dare not speak rashly."

Liu Rushi said in a low voice, although she really wanted to say something fair for Hou Xun, but she was not sure if the little emperor was trying to test her on purpose.

"It's just that I don't dare to make unreasonable remarks. Actually, I still have opinions, right?" Zhu Cihong still stared at her with a half-smile.

"The concubine...the concubine deserves to die, please majesty to punish me."

When Liu Rushi was stared at by him, he immediately panicked, quickly got up, and knelt down beside him to plead guilty.

"I know you are out of habit, but you have to know that your identity is the head of the royal court. What you should worry about is whether there are people in the prisons who are involved in corruption for personal gain, how does the royal industry and commerce grow? Are the rules and regulations reasonable? No loopholes?
Instead of spending your mind on these military and state affairs, you will forget after reading these memorials in the future. The duty of the supervisor of ceremonies is only to pass on and draft my orders. "

Seeing that she was so frightened, Zhu Cihong finally restrained her smile, and beat her in a rather stern tone.

There is no way, although this Liu Rushi is very capable, but he is not very concerned about the affairs of the royal family, but is always very enthusiastic about military and state affairs.

Every time there are memorials from various places, the female officer in charge of ceremonies can send them directly, but she has to send them in person.

Although he had never talked too much, his desire was clearly there. He obviously wanted to wait for the opportunity to ask her, and then he opened his mouth to express his thoughts.

In the past, it was fine, he just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, but now he has become his own woman, the future concubine, this habit and thinking must be changed.

Not to mention that she is the chief executive of the inner court, he will be the emperor in the future. After the various systems are perfected, he will only guide and will not interfere too much in specific military affairs.

Because in the future, in terms of military affairs, all specific affairs will be handed over to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the left and right governors and ten or so governors will perform their duties. The emperor will only be in charge of the general and sign various orders.

Similarly, all government affairs will be handed over to the eight ministries of the cabinet, and the judiciary will be handed over to independent departments. The emperor is only responsible for supervision, and the supervision departments are mainly Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

The emperor, or the royal family, will mainly focus on business development, technological development, cultural development, and engineering construction in the future.

Of course, if you want to achieve the level that Zhu Cihong envisioned, you have to wait at least another 30 to [-] years, you have to wait for him to perfect all the systems, you have to wait for him to train a large number of new talents, and more importantly, you have to wait He reversed the structure and thinking of the entire society, and the emperor began to delegate power.

Although at that time, he will not implement a complete constitutional monarchy, but it is still very necessary to establish some constitutions that everyone, including the emperor, must abide by.

"The concubine must keep it in mind, and will never dare again in the future."

Liu Rushi replied with a pretty pale face.

"Okay, get up, be careful not to catch a cold."

Seeing that she had understood what he meant and realized the seriousness of the problem, Zhu Cihong's tone slowed down a bit, and he pulled her up, hugged her in his arms, and covered her with a quilt.

Seeing her trembling in her arms like a frightened little rabbit, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Do you think that being with you is like being with a tiger? I regret going to my dragon bed?"

"No, it was the concubine who betrayed His Majesty's trust. She didn't recognize what should be done and what should not be done. She even got carried away because of His Majesty's favor. Today, His Majesty can remind the concubine, which shows that His Majesty cares As for the concubine, it's too late for the concubine to be happy, how could she regret it..."

Liu Rushi shook her head, said in a low voice, and hugged Zhu Cihong tightly at the end.

Obviously, she was really scared just now. Of course, what she was afraid of was not her own life, but that she would fall out of favor and lose the favor of the little emperor.

"Ugh!"

Seeing her saying this, Zhu Cihong's body was still trembling uncontrollably, so he also sighed.
