Emperor Zhu asked with a smile: "I only want to ask you one question - do you think we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, care about the lives of the Kunlun slaves?"

When Emperor Zhu asked this question, Zeng Cheng and other elders were stunned.

Will the people of the Ming Dynasty care about the fate of the Kunlun slaves?

If Qian deaf old dog had been given the post of prefect of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Cheng felt that the people would definitely care about the lives of the Kunlun slaves, because it was the Qing Dynasty, the sea was clear and the rivers were clear, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, so the people of the country would care about the life and death of the barbarians.

It can be regarded as a sign of being knowledgeable and courteous.

However, after he defected to Emperor Zhu, Zeng Cheng had really put down his pretense of being a prefect, and gained a lot of knowledge by following the Peasants' Association during the Meng Lianggu period. Now when I ask Zeng Cheng this question again, Zeng Cheng just thinks it's ridiculous.

More than ten years ago, the people of the Central Plains did not even think of themselves as fate. Now that they had just had enough to eat for a few years, they had no time to care about whether the lives of the Kunlun slaves were their fate.

Isn’t this just pure bullshit?

Even Zeng Cheng and Zeng Ge, who were former prefects, found it ridiculous, not to mention other elders like Liu Huaiwen, Liu Heming and others who followed Emperor Zhu to kill Liu Juren in Liumiao Village and rebelled.

Who has never been hungry?

Who has not been oppressed by the landlords and the government?

Just thinking about it, Zeng Cheng suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, I still feel that something is wrong."

After getting Emperor Zhu's signal, Zeng Cheng continued: "Logically speaking, the living standards of our people in Ming Dynasty are already good, right?"

Emperor Zhu gave a noncommittal hum and said, "It's barely passable. There's still a lot of room for improvement."

When Emperor Zhu said this, Zeng Cheng suddenly felt a little stuck.

Zeng Cheng wanted to grab Emperor Zhu's dragon robe and ask: Isn't the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty good enough now? Then your majesty, please explain, what kind of life can be so good!

Seeing the painful and troubled look on Zeng Cheng's face, Emperor Zhu laughed loudly and said: "I think that now the people can only have a full stomach, and can eat a few meals of fish, meat, etc. throughout the year.

This standard of living can only be considered passable, but it’s really not that great.”

"What I think is good is that children dare to be picky eaters, old people are willing to throw away leftovers, and when a family eats, they only think about what they like to eat instead of thinking about how to save a few cents from their mouths."

"What I think is good is that people should not only have clothes to wear, but also be able to wear them well. They can change into new clothes whenever they want."

"What I think is good is that the people can criticize the government and the court because they are full and feel that the court has done something wrong. They do not blame the government and the court because they can't live anymore."

"..."

After Emperor Zhu finished talking about what he thought was good, Mr. Zeng Cheng and Zeng Ge didn't want to say anything more - according to Emperor Zhu's description, it must be heaven, not the Ming Dynasty!

Destroy it, hurry up, being the first assistant to Emperor Zhu is too tiring!

After secretly slandering himself, Zeng Chengcai said with a face full of pain and confusion: "What your Majesty thinks is good, when will it be realized? I dare not speak nonsense, but I dare to say that in this whole little broken ball, based on the people of our Ming Dynasty,

The living conditions are the best, so Your Majesty shouldn’t object, right?”

Emperor Zhu hummed and asked, "What next?"

Then?

Zeng Cheng complained in his heart while bowing and bowing: "Since we people of the Ming Dynasty don't care whether the lives of those Kunlun slaves are good or not, then the living standards of the people of other barbarians are not as good as those of the people of the Ming Dynasty. They also

Why do you care whether Kunlun slave’s life counts?”

At this point, Zeng Cheng stopped talking - that's all we have to say anyway, you, Emperor Zhu, can experience the rest for yourself!

But Emperor Zhu laughed: "I don't care about the living standards of those barbarians, and I also don't care whether they care about the fate of the Kunlun slaves - I asked you to prepare this article, in fact

It is prepared for those barbarian nobles, not for those barbarians."

Zeng Cheng and other elders were immediately stunned.

You, Emperor Zhu, asked us to prepare an article "The life of the Kunlun slave is also a life" to accuse the stupid thief eagle, but you are not prepared to show this article to the stupid thief eagle and the civilians of Europa?

What's the use of simply reading an article like this to the stupid thief eagle and the nobles of Europa?

Emperor Zhu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten how Silly Thief Eagle and the court over there in Europa voted for the commander-in-chief or the chief minister?"

Zeng Cheng was stunned immediately.

As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, Zeng Cheng certainly knew how the Ying family voted for the general, and he also knew how Europa voted for the general or the chief minister.

Zeng Cheng even complained about those barbarians because they had no king or father.

While Zeng Cheng was stunned, Emperor Zhu continued: "The barbarian nobles are all overfed and have nothing to do. As long as they see this article, they will use it to

The way to do it is to gain benefits for yourself, use it to criticize your enemies, or win votes for yourself."

"As for whether the Kunlun slave's life counts, in fact, the barbarian nobles don't care and don't care. They will only try to make the barbarian civilians believe that the Kunlun slave's life counts."

Zeng Cheng felt numb all over and even fell into deep self-doubt.

Before Emperor Zhu launched his rebellion, he was just a mud-legged man from Liumiao Village under Ningyang County under Yanzhou Prefecture, right?

What about me? Qian De was a Jinshi for 20 years, and he had already reached the position of Tai'an prefect when he was 47 years old.

No matter how you look at this kind of method of cheating a country, you should be better at it, but in reality? Why is Emperor Zhu so awesome!?

Shaking his head slightly, Zeng Cheng decided not to dwell on this issue anymore - it's true that he is a Jinshi, but a Jinshi is just a mortal. No matter what happens to the emperor, he must be the descendant of Ziwei Xingjun or the real dragon. There is no such thing as a mortal.

I thought about competing with the gods.

Emperor Zhu didn't know that his chief cabinet minister was so evil, but he could actually conjure up the drama of the birth of a god in just a short moment.

Emperor Zhu just smiled and said: "With this article, if we let the King of Qin and the King of Jin cooperate with the northern and southern factions of the Silly Thieving Eagle family, we will not be afraid that the Silly Thieving Eagle family will not be in chaos."

Anyway, they are all traps for the barbarians. If you trap them lightly, they are traps. If you trap them more harshly, they will still be traps. Since they are traps no matter what, you might as well just go for it.

…

More than half a month passed in a flash, and the news of Paul I's sudden death also spread from Moscow to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

What followed was that Alexander suddenly fell into the water and contracted a cold. Alexander's beloved horse had four legs cut off. Alexander's sister Ekaterina inexplicably disappeared all night and was only discovered the next morning.

Waiting for a lot of shocking news.

Kosevov and Baditsky were also completely desperate.

Whether it was the sudden sudden death of Paul I, or Alexander suddenly falling into the water, or Catherine suddenly disappearing all night, it would be better to take these pieces of information individually, but when put together, these pieces of information only prove one thing.

.

Shagoose's palace is not safe at all!

At the very least, it is absolutely unsafe compared to the legendary Ming Dynasty Jin Yiwei.

Whether Alexander suddenly fell into the water, or Alexander's beloved horse had four legs sawn off, it was just a warning - they had the ability to make Paul I die suddenly, and they were equally able to make Alexander die suddenly; they had the ability.

Letting Ekaterina disappear for a whole night is the same as making Alexander disappear completely!

In despair, Koshevov could only grit his teeth and said: "Restart negotiations with the Ming people and agree to their conditions."

Baditsky hesitated: "But, if we rush to negotiate with the Ming people, are we afraid that the Ming people will put forward more excessive conditions?"

Kosevov was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "What else? If you continue to delay, do you know what else the Ming people will do?"

At this point, the look on Kosevov's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Alexander, no, it should be His Majesty Alexander now - if His Majesty Alexander's judgment had not been wrong, how could we be facing the current situation?

What's the situation? Don't forget, we were originally one of the five good people in Xiao Po Guo!"

Baditsky also fell silent.

Kosevov continued: "Anyway, His Majesty Alexander has been frightened out of his courage and asked us to agree to all the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty."

Baditsky continued to remain silent, but Kosevov became a little impatient: "What do you say? Are you going to restart negotiations with the Ming people immediately? Or do you have other ideas?"

Baditsky raised his head, confusion written on his face: "Restart negotiations? Then restart them."

After thinking for a while, Baditsky added: "But I reserve my opinion. I think if it is delayed for a few days, maybe we can get some room for relaxation for the Sand Goose?"

Kosevov glanced at Baditsky coldly and said nothing more.

Bakitsky's reservations were entirely a preparation for shirking the blame in the future - see, I said at the beginning that we should wait for a few days, but you, Kosevov, were too anxious to restart the negotiations, so you couldn't.

Do not agree to these harsh conditions of the Ming people.

However, what makes Koshevov and Baditsky desperate is that now they want to immediately restart negotiations with Ming Dynasty. Zhu Gang, who replaced Shen Hao in charge of negotiations in Ming Dynasty, is not in a hurry.

On the first day, Zhu Gang went to the brothel.

The next day, Zhu Gang went to the brothel.

On the third day, Zhu Gang went to the brothel.

For three days in a row, the attendants sent by Kosevov and Baditsky to see Zhu Gang failed to see the real owner. The only news they could bring to Kosevov and Baditsky was that Zhu Gang had gone to a brothel.

Kosevov and Baditsky felt as if they had been trampled by ten thousand alpacas.

"Why didn't he die in a brothel!" Baditsky walked back and forth in circles, his face full of anger and helplessness.

In contrast, Kosevov behaved quite calmly.

The main thing is that Kosevov has completely thought it over - it is already like this anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, how bad can it be? It is nothing more than the difference between cutting more land or cutting less land. It is nothing more than more.

The difference between losing less and losing Long Yuan.

Of course, looking away does not mean that Kosevov intends to give up.

After careful consideration, Koshevov simply ordered his attendants: "Continue to ask for that Ming official who likes to visit brothels. If he is still not in the Yamen, then find out which brothel he went to. Let's go."
