Zhu Moe didn't care about Zhu Cixuan. She had something to do, so she hurried to meet Empress Zhou.

At this time, Empress Zhou was already hurt by her father. When she heard about Zhou Bi'an again, she was a little numb.

As the Empress of the Ming Dynasty and the Prince's biological mother, for her, the interests of the royal family are naturally greater than anything else. Although she heard that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to punish her mother's family, she had nothing to say with the virtues of the father and son.

But no matter what, her father and brother are such people, and her mood is a bit depressed but inevitable.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Ma couldn't help feeling a little sad. After thinking about it for a moment, she thought of something that could divert the mother's attention and quickly said to Queen Zhou: "Mom, isn't my daughter doing these things too much?"

Sure enough, Queen Zhou was a little confused and asked with a look of confusion: "What did you do?"

When Zhu Meiyu saw that she had successfully diverted her attention, she felt a little happy, so she quickly talked about some details about her relationship with Zhang Mingwei, and finally asked Queen Zhou: "Mom, is this daughter's way of doing things not in line with her daughter's duty to be a maid?"

Although she had seen what it would be like to be a maid, she was born as a princess and had never been a maid. Although she wanted to be a maid, she did not expect that she would be taught a lesson by Xu Yunchao at the entrance of the city gate, saying that she had no rules.

A slave like Xu Yunchao is the kind she despises very much. If she is classified as Xu Yunchao, it is something she will never accept.

She was going to ask Fei Zhen'e about this doubt after going back. But when she saw that her mother was in a bad mood, she raised it in order to divert her attention.

When Queen Zhou heard this, she was a little stunned. She never expected that her daughter would ask such a question.

After coming to his senses, he frowned and said, "You still take the maid's affairs seriously?"

When Zhu Ma was unhappy when she heard this, she immediately said seriously: "Of course this is true! Although my daughter is not a man, she is also a promise! She said that she wants to be a maid, that is, she wants to be a maid!"

After hearing her say this, Queen Zhou remembered the strange person again, and frowned and asked, "Is that...that gentleman really that important?"

It was important that the emperor actually ignored his dignity and let his biological daughter become the maid of that person! This was simply unimaginable!

After hearing this, Zhu Mai immediately nodded seriously and said without hesitation: "Of course it is important. There is no one more important than a gentleman in the world!"

"It's impossible to be more important than you!" Queen Zhou said dissatisfied when she heard this. She actually asked her daughter to be a maid. She had always been worried about this matter!

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Mai heard this, she thought about it for a moment, and nodded seriously and said, "If my daughter and her husband were assassinated at the same time, then the father would definitely have someone save the husband first!"

"..." When Queen Zhou heard this, she was stunned again!

After coming back to her senses, she found that as soon as this so-called gentleman was involved, things often went beyond her cognition. Involuntarily, she asked curiously again: "What is the origin of this gentleman? Is it so important?"

After watching his mother's curious expression for a while, Zhu Mai thought seriously for a while, and finally said seriously: "Mr. The origin of the sir is incredible. The father said that he must keep it confidential. If the mother wants to know, he can only ask the father!"

"..." When Queen Zhou heard this, she was silent, lowered her head and did not speak.

Zhu Ma was waiting for a while, a little worried about whether the husband would leave first, so when he was a little anxious, Empress Zhou raised her head and looked at her and said seriously: "Since it is your father's intention, I will not ask about it here. I will tell you about your affairs, and you will listen to it yourself."

After saying that, she began to point out what Zhu Ma said, about what was wrong, what was said too much, what should be decided by that gentleman, etc.

At the end, Empress Zhou frowned and concluded: "In short, if you treat him as your father, you will basically not overestimate your duty!"

"..." Zhu Mai was a little surprised when she heard this, and then came to her senses and nodded seriously, obviously accepting the suggestion.

………………………………………

At the same time, Crown Prince Zhu Cilang had just arrived, but Zhang Mingwei just made his idea of ​​solving refugees understand with Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei was about to set off immediately and go to the refugee camp outside the city.

"Father, my son wants to follow the teacher to see what's happening outside." Zhu Cixuan immediately asked when he saw it.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei thought that Zhu Cilang would definitely encounter similar problems after going to the south. Moreover, as the prince, he should have known the sufferings of the people, so he agreed in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and nodded a little indifferently at Zhu Cilang's request, and said casually: "Then change your clothes and stay by your husband's side, watch with your heart, learn a little."

If it is not contemptuous, it will definitely attract impeachment from a group of censors, and Emperor Chongzhen is also annoyed by these. Therefore, this request was made.

When Zhu Cilang heard this, he didn't care about these things at all. The important thing was to be able to go out, so he agreed immediately without saying a word.

Just when he thought he was leaving, he saw Emperor Chongzhen frowning and asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, is the fraud in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty really serious now?"

Although Zhang Mingwei was concerned about refugees outside the city, he could understand how important the imperial examination would be to Emperor Chongzhen!

To be honest, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, perhaps this imperial examination is actually much more important than the refugees outside the city. It was only when Zhang Mingwei was anxious that he dealt with the matter first and then asked.

If he had to wait until Zhang Mingwei dealt with the refugees outside the city before talking about it, it would be a bit too late.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei had to press his temperament and said to Emperor Chongzhen seriously: "This matter is indeed very serious."

There are people who come here in time to come in later generations, and they can know things that people today cannot see clearly.

Wang Chengen and Zhu Cixuan didn't know the cause, but when they heard that they were related to the fraud in the imperial examination, they all held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. In the hall, only Zhang Mingwei's voice was ringing.

"There is a saying in later generations that Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe, is known as a folk emperor. The reason is that he controlled the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty at the level of scholars. Later, he used his power to influence the court, such as..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen, whose face was already extremely ugly, and then said in his heart: "Use his power to pave the way for Zhou Yanru and let him regain the throne of the chief minister, on the condition that Zhang Pu gave Zhou Yanru a list and asked Zhou Yanru to promote and select those officials."

As soon as the news came out, all the people in the hall were bloodless. It was simply unimaginable that a mere leader of the Fu Society had such a large force!

Afterwards, Zhang Mingwei talked in detail about the specific matters of Fushe using most of his members to control the imperial examinations.

"Haha, hehe..." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneer continuously after a moment of stupidity, "Folk Emperor, if you have such a method, you are really a folk emperor! No wonder the Ming Dynasty was about to perish. It turned out that it had already reached this level, but I still knew nothing! Haha, hehe..."

Obviously, this news has really had a huge blow to Emperor Chongzhen!

On the surface, the court suffered consecutive defeats, and now only Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City remained for Jianlu; the more bandits were wiped out, the more bandits were wiped out, and they continued to attack the cities and land, and even the relatives and vassals were killed by them. There were floods in the south and droughts in the north, plagues, etc., which were already the doomsday. But even so, Emperor Chongzhen was still trying to remedy them.

But he really didn't expect that this was not a remedy, but that the inside was already ruined. The corruption in the officialdom had reached this level, and the emperor was played with by them in the applause.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen really felt a creepy feeling. In this case, if the country was destroyed, there would be ghosts!

However, when he saw Zhang Mingwei standing in front of him, hope ignited in his eyes again. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhang Mingwei's arm, and said very earnestly: "Sir, save me!"

At this moment, it was his instinctive reaction, so that he even forgot to use the claim of "I" and returned to the instinctive desire of an ordinary person.

Zhang Mingwei could understand his mood at this time, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, since God has let me come to Your Majesty, he is here to crack the current game!"

If it were just an outstanding talent in this era, in the context of officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty, even scholars would not be able to win. Their lifelong talents might end up being used to rebel.

Even if you finally passed the Jinshi exam, under such an official atmosphere, you will inevitably be excluded and attacked by most people. The ending is likely to be a frustrated officialdom. Faced with the danger of national destruction, you are powerless and can only write some cynical and famous poems, and eventually end up in depression.

This can be verified from the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

Are there people with outstanding talent among the people?

There are definitely, for example, Yan Yingyuan was just a poor classic in the Chongzhen dynasty, but he was able to retreat Gu Sanmazi and lead the small city of Jiangyin to persist for 81 days under the siege of Jianlu army.

Are there any loyal ministers and good generals?

There are definitely, such as Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, etc., but what about their fate? They are all dead ends.
