When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned. He immediately remembered the damn Zhou Kui. The queen wanted to see him. Could it be because of him?

After estimating the time, I guess I should have met Zhou Kui now.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see what the hell was about Empress Zhou finding him and what was he trying to say? So he sent an order to summon him.

After a while, Empress Zhou came over quickly. The courtesy ceremony according to the rules of etiquette made Emperor Chongzhen think of his usual behavior, and his anger was much less.

Then Empress Zhou asked Emperor Chongzhen with a worried look and said, "Your Majesty, although the harem cannot interfere in politics, I don't want to ask about the outside world. However, Ci Yang and Mother were born to me. As their mother, I would like to ask, they were both young, so they asked them to do things, especially Mother, and even let her be the maid of someone. It's absolutely unheard of. Is this... Your Majesty, right?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen understood her mood. Thinking of the current situation, he sighed and said, "You are their mother, but don't forget that I am their father. If I hadn't done this, would I do this?"

After hearing this, Empress Zhou looked at him for a while, she still asked with concern: "Your Majesty, can you give me a reason?"

Emperor Chongzhen did not want to tell the real reason, because it was related to Zhang Mingwei's magical origin. However, if he didn't say anything, it seemed impossible to say anything. After thinking about it, he said seriously to Empress Zhou: "I believe you should have known the defeat of Songshan. The main army of the court was wiped out, and now there are almost no soldiers available. The country and the country are in danger. Letting them do things is to revive the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Empress Zhou's mood was obviously depressed. She could naturally feel the storm of the Ming Dynasty. She wanted to sigh, but was afraid of affecting Emperor Chongzhen's mood, so she had to force herself to resist and said, "I can understand that Ci Yang went south, so I won't say much. But what about my mother? She is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, but she wants to be someone else's maid. This is simply horrifying. Is this related to Zhongxing Ming Dynasty?"

Speaking of this, she showed a little puzzled look, and said with a little regret: "She is so young and ignorant. The thing about being someone else's maid actually makes me feel that she is cheering and doesn't listen to her no matter what I say. This... I really don't know what's going on!"

Well, Emperor Chongzhen had to admit that it really sounded absurd to let his eldest daughter be someone else's maid; but isn't this even more absurd to people from later generations suddenly traveling to him?

However, this is how this happens, no matter how absurd it is, it is a fact!

Thinking of this, he emphasized again: "I don't agree with this! I think our daughter has grown up, knows filial piety, understands right and wrong, and is a good child!"

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered the scene in his mind that Zhu Mai seriously said that she was willing, or even sacrificed her life!

When he thought of this, he was very pleased and said to Empress Zhou again: "This is my mother's choice, not what I forced her. You don't have to worry about this matter. Believe in her and believe in me. This matter will be of great benefit to her and the Ming Dynasty."

"..." Queen Zhou was speechless when she heard this. Why did she feel that this was so unreliable? It would be a great benefit to be someone else's maid? It's impossible to be a maid of a god, right?

After thinking about this, she immediately realized the key to the problem and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who is that gentleman? I heard that his Majesty attaches great importance to it. Why have I never heard of it before?"

It would be strange if you could hear it before! Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself and said seriously: "Mr.'s origin is incredible, so you don't have to worry about it. Just remember one thing, he is more important than anyone in the world today. Without him, there would be no future in the Ming Dynasty!"

"..." Empress Zhou was stunned again when she heard this. She felt that there was no obstacle in communicating with Emperor Chongzhen before, but no matter how she communicated today, she couldn't understand it!

Thinking of this, she suddenly had a very strong impulse towards this so-called gentleman, and she wanted to meet him immediately and see what kind of person he was, which would make His Majesty say so many incomprehensible words.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that she stopped talking, he asked her: "If it's okay, I'll be busy!"

Hearing this, Empress Zhou immediately remembered that she came over, in addition to the son and daughter, there was also the father's affairs. Therefore, she said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I heard that in order to train the new army and reorganize the imperial army, should you borrow money from the royal family and nobles to respond to the emergency?"

Of course, Empress Zhou knew that the imperial court had no money. Otherwise, if Emperor Chongzhen's inner clothes were torn, why did she need to sew them before wearing them?

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt aroused in his heart, thinking that this matter would come after all.

So he kept silent and nodded, "That's right!"

After hearing this, Empress Zhou said earnestly: "Bo Jiading is the leader of the royal relatives and nobles, so he should be an example. When he came to see me, he cried and told me that the mansion was very expensive and wanted to do his best for His Majesty, but he did not have the ability. Therefore, I gave him some jewelry and so on, and asked him to sell it and then take the initiative to hand it over to the court. In this way, other royal relatives and nobles could see it, so that they would not find any reason to shirk it."

"..." Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be speechless.

He never expected that Zhou Kui came to the palace to deceive his own daughter and wanted his daughter to pay the money. He was shameless?

Looking at Empress Zhou's sincere look, he could understand what Empress Zhou was thinking. But the more this happened, the more he felt that Zhou Kui was hateful. So Emperor Chongzhen slapped the table suddenly and said hatefully: "What an old man Zhou Kui!"

"..." Queen Zhou didn't expect him to get so angry. After a while, she hurriedly asked, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said hatefully: "You really have a good father! Do you really believe that he is nervous? Do you know how much money is in Jiading Bo Mansion?"

"..." Queen Zhou was stunned when she heard this. Only then did she remember that the Jiading Mansion should not be short of money!

She immediately remembered her father's usual stinginess. If she might not do it well, she might have hidden her own money and didn't want to take it out!

However, when Empress Zhou thought of this, she felt it was a bit impossible, so she replied in a little uncertain tone, "But this is a big deal! My father must know that his glory and wealth all come from His Majesty and the Crown Prince. If the situation is in danger, I believe he will not have a good time. No matter what, he should be on the same mind as His Majesty and the court! My father is not a three-year-old child, so he won't be able to recognize this, right?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was also stunned. Logically speaking, this should be true. Could it be that he really has no money?

But when he thought of this old man selling the crown prince for himself, Emperor Chongzhen did not care whether he had money or not. Anyway, he refused to forgive this old man.

While he was thinking this, he heard a report from outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty, the silver donated by Jiading Bo has been handed over to the palace."

So fast? Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou couldn't help but have this doubt in their hearts when they heard this.
