After a day of contact, it was obvious that Xiao Shishi was reluctant to let go. Before leaving, the corners of her eyes were a little red: "Brother Zhu, when will you come back?"

Zhu Cilang quickly repented the name of Boss Zhu. Yes, after all, no one wants to share the name with a pig. Instead, Brother Zhu is replaced by Brother Zhu, whether in front of or behind, this is Xiao Shishi's privilege.

She is the only one who can call Zhu Cilang and Brother Zhu in front of everyone. Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "Next time, I will come to see you soon when I have time. I will bring you a lot of delicious food."

In fact, Zhu Cilang himself didn't know when the next time was. After all, the court needed him too much. He envied those who were comfortable in the prosperous era. If he traveled to the prosperous era, he would even be a prodigal son who was just a living and waiting to die.

But he was so unlucky that he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty. If he didn't work hard to change the world, he would only wait for his destiny.

Xiao Shishi held the music box in her hand, reluctant to leave. Until Zhu Cixuan got on the carriage, she waved her little hand and left Zhu Cixuan for a long time.

The carriage was about to move forward, Zhu Cixuan waved his hand: "When I miss me, listen to the music box I gave you."

Xiao Shishi nodded and watched the carriage leave. She was too young and didn't know what a love between men and women is, but she couldn't bear to leave Brother Zhu.

When the carriage returned to the capital, it was already dark. Strangely, Zhu Cilang, who returned to the palace, was not scolded by Emperor Chongzhen. Perhaps Emperor Chongzhen at this time also felt that his son made so many contributions, could allow him to be arrogant several times.

In fact, Zhu Cilang was not afraid. Even if his father, Emperor Chongzhen, asked, he said he had gone to the imperial village. The imperial village was a major issue related to livelihood, so Chongzhen naturally would not ask much. Zhu Cilang, who had made so many contributions, was most grateful that he was much more free.

When he left the palace privately, Emperor Chongzhen rarely interfered. In the past two years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang understood a truth that there was nothing smooth in the world. Only by preparing for the future can we not appear panic when things come to an end.

The Queen Zhou of Kunning Palace prepared a table of dishes, and the family gathered together again with rare occasions. Emperor Chongzhen arrived at Kunning Palace later than Zhu Cilang, and Chongzhen, who had been working hard for a day, seemed very tired.

Emperor Chongzhen was still frowning, and the head of the family was unhappy. The mood of the whole family would also be affected, and even Princess Kunxing would pout.

Empress Zhou and Zhu Cilang looked at each other, and the whole family knew that it was indeed not easy for Chongzhen to be the emperor.

Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but ask, "Father, have you had any trouble in the court recently?"

Emperor Chongzhen said "um" and he didn't want to bother his son in everything. After all, his son is not a god, and his son is not Nezha with three heads and six arms.

Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "It's okay, the bandits in Sichuan are getting a little bit fierce."

"Is Zhang Xianzhong?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said angrily: "Yes, the thief Li Zicheng caused trouble in Huguang and Zhang Xianzhong harmed the people in Sichuan. These two people are my great thief in the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhang Xianzhong was mentioned, Zhu Cilang frowned. This was another extremely difficult bandit after Li Zicheng. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong had a powerful general, who could even be as famous as Yue Fei.

This person is Li Dingguo, although this person later surrendered to the court. Li Dingguo was a famous general and a national hero in the anti-Qing Dynasty. Li Dingguo was adopted by Zhang Xianzhong as an adopted son and followed Zhang Xianzhong to fight north and south.

At this time, Li Dingguo was still an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. If he took this person for his own use, he would add another tiger general to the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

However, it is easy to recruit Li Yan and Song Xianshou, because neither of them surrendered to Li Zicheng, and it is difficult to recruit Li Dingguo. The situation in Sichuan is not optimistic, and the court is powerless about this.

The current imperial court is not able to launch a large-scale bandit suppression war, unless it is defeated in the north first.

At present, how to solve the problem of people's food is the primary event facing the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that the treasury did not have so much money to support a huge war, even if there was this amount of money, Zhu Cilang had to solve the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong first.

Otherwise, when they go to wipe out the bandits, Huang Taiji will take the opportunity to go south, and the court will be attacked from both sides.

Zhu Cilang had no good idea about Sichuan affairs, so he sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "It is rare for our family to reunite. I won't mention these unhappy things, come and have a meal for everyone."

Emperor Chongzhen's face looked a little better, and the atmosphere of the family became lively.

But at this moment, Princess Kunxing suddenly looked at Zhu Cixuan: "Brother, I heard that you made a small box that can pronounce. Who did you give him?"

Zhu Zilang was shocked when he heard this. After that, Zhong Cuigong made a detailed work. Who betrayed him? Except for the people from Zhong Cuigong, others did not know about this.

"What are you saying? There is no box with any pronunciation. Sister, what are you talking about?" Zhu Cilang pretended not to know anything and refused to admit it.

Princess Kunxing is easier to deceive. She pouted and said, "Don't think I don't know. Douhua told me. You made a small box that could pronounce and then took it out of the palace. Tell me, where did you go and who did you give it to?"

My brother changed, and before, the good things were given to him first. This made Princess Kunxing a little unhappy. Sure enough, Zhu Cilang told her the truth with just one sentence.

Douhua, she betrayed him. Zhu Cixuan was also a little unhappy, so he simply said unhappy: "I gave it to a little girl, this is OK."

After Zhu Cixuan said this, Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou immediately became alert. Looking at their grown-up son, the couple looked at each other.

Queen Zhou asked carefully: "Emperor, which girl is it from?"

Zhu Cilang did not hide it, but told the truth. At present, he told Xiao Shishi all the things he had about.

When he heard that it was the case of the Six Gentlemen of Donglin, what was the head of the Ministry of Personnel Shen Muzhi. Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have heard of this person's name. He nodded casually: "It turns out to be the descendant of loyalty and kindness."

After Zhongliang, he came to affirmation at Chongzhen. In other words, he did not object to his son's interactions with Xiao Shishi.

Empress Zhou was also a little happy: "Son, tell me. How is the daughter of Master Shen's family looking and how is Nian Fang?"

"I'm so annoying, why do you ask these things?" Like all the ignorant boys who have just started to fall in love, Zhu Cilang was a little impatient.

"Ci-Yang. You are not young anymore." Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's time to choose a crown princess for you."

Empress Zhou also said this: "Well, if it is true as the emperor said, I would like this little girl a little. That is, I don't know how she looks or how she is."

Chongzhen snorted: "After being loyal and kind, one will have good character. If not, I will inform the world that I will choose a concubine for Ci Yang."

The prince chose a concubine, which was common in the Ming Dynasty. Queen Yi'an was the best selected from the three thousand beauties.

However, Zhu Cilang is only fifteen years old at the age of 19, and Xiao Shishi is even younger. To be honest, it is unacceptable to marry Zhu Cilang at this age.

So he had to say: "Father, the ancients said that the Huns had not been destroyed, so why do you have a family? Now bandits are everywhere, and Jiannu has not been destroyed, and the ministers do not want to have a love affair with their children."

Zhu Cixuan's words made Emperor Chongzhen very satisfied: "Okay, I can avoid being fascinated by women at a young age. This is very similar to me. Well, I'm not in a hurry to do this."
