Chapter 163 Do it well

King Xiang may not understand it at the time, but he will always understand it in the future.

But at this moment, King Xiang was extremely sad. He stumbled out of Cining Palace, suddenly turned over and knelt down, and kowtowed heavily. He kowtowed for an unknown number of times until blood started to appear on King Xiang's forehead, and he was pulled down from left to right.

Therefore, before King Xiang settled down in Beijing, he left the capital in a hurry. When he had just arrived in Luchuan, news of the death of the Empress Dowager came.

King Xiang vomited blood at that time.

It took me two or three years of cultivation to save my life.

From then on until his death, King Xiang never left Luchuan again.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager also had Zhu Qizhen's spy, and Zhu Qizhen already knew the whole story almost when Prince Xiang left Cining Palace.

Zhu Qizhen naturally understood what the Empress Dowager meant, but he felt even more sad in his heart, and said to himself: "My dear, in your heart, is this how you can't trust the child?"

Zhu Qizhen thought about it carefully, but had to admit that the Queen Mother might be right.

Just like Uncle Huichang, although Uncle Huichang's family was useless, they did not treat Zhu Qizhen badly. The Sun family was also very good to Zhu Qizhen, but Zhu Qizhen felt that Uncle Huichang would gain more benefits from seizing the title, so he did not hesitate.

He won the title of General Chang Bo.

If one day Zhu Qizhen felt that killing King Xiang would be more beneficial, Zhu Qizhen didn't think he would be unable to do so.

Zhu Qizhen thought to himself: "I am alone, I am the only one who dominates, I fight hundreds of battles, and I am only interested in profit. Madam, this is what you taught me."

After King Xiang left, the body of the Empress Dowager became worse and worse day by day.

Suddenly one day, the Empress Dowager suddenly became energetic and said, "The flowers in the Imperial Garden are also blooming. I want to see them."

When Zhu Qizhen saw this, he immediately knew that the Empress Dowager's reflection was reflected, and he immediately asked someone to prepare a wheelchair. He personally pushed the Empress Dowager to walk in the imperial garden.

At the turn of spring and summer, all kinds of flowers bloom in the imperial garden, competing for beauty and beauty.

This wheelchair was built by Zhu Qizhen under the command of skilled craftsmen. Although it has wooden wheels, it is a rattan chair and is not heavy to push.

The Empress Dowager has lost a lot of weight, so Zhu Qizhen can push it effortlessly.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath like a little girl and said: "It smells so good. I can't get enough of this spring scenery."

Zhu Qizhen said: "If you like it, you can come often."

The Empress Dowager said: "I know my health myself. It's probably my end. Emperor, to be honest, you are much stronger than your father."

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "My grandson cannot compare to my father."

Taihuang Tai

Then he sneered and said: "My own son, I don't know. Your father is good at everything, but he is too playful. He never wants to do one thing down-to-earth. He likes to draw and fight crickets. See you.

A few foxy men can't walk, but he is capable of both literary and martial arts. If his ancestors hadn't left behind a profound legacy, would he have been planning to become Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to say for a while.

Talking to a son about his father, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, is a very rude behavior. But it was the Empress Dowager who spoke. It is perfectly natural for a mother to scold her son, no matter who is in front of her. Don't say that now Xuanzong

He has already gone. Even if Xuanzong was still there, he would still tolerate the Empress Dowager saying this.

The Empress Dowager said: "Emperor, what do I like most about you? Do you know?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

The Empress Dowager said in her heart: "It's because of your trembling heart. You don't know that when you first ascended the throne, you were obviously scared to death around me, but you deliberately tried to please me. It was really funny."

"Sanyang is an old minister left by Renzong, Zhang Fu has also served my family for two generations, Hu Hui was Taizong's personal minister at the beginning, and both of them are my loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty. To be polite, even if you encounter great things that day

It’s difficult, they are all ministers who will die for justice. Do you really think that your father and I are blind people who will choose some unpredictable ministers to be independent and important ministers? "

The Empress Dowager was right when she saw people.

Two of the three Yangs died of illness and took office, and one resigned and returned home. Zhang Fu died in Tumubao at the age of seventy, and Hu Hui was beside Tumubao. There was also the incident of seizing the door. In these two major political aftermaths, both

Played an important role. Especially during the coup, Hu Hui was already eighty.

It can be said that he died after exhausting himself.

The Queen Mother thought of many things that had happened since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, and she always found them ridiculous. There were too many.

Zhu Qizhen also felt that he had made many fools in the past, especially when he wanted to lure Chang Bo's family members into the palace. He really underestimated the authority of the Zhu family.

He just issued an edict to summon the military guards in the Royal Horse Prison, and that was all.

After all, although the Empress Dowager was powerful, her surname was not Zhu, and the prestige she had gained over the decades since Taizong Jingnan launched his army was not so easily shaken.

Although Zhu Qizhen felt that the largest force in the Beijing camp was the Jingnan Xungui Group, in fact, the Jingnan Xungui Group was, in other words, the wings of the emperor.

This nature did not change much until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The grandfather and grandson smiled at each other, as if all the undercurrents in the palace since the orthodoxy had been settled.

The Empress Dowager finally said: "Emperor, you have done a good job, tell me some stories about the poor, the humble and the proud."

Zhu Qi Zhen Shao

After a moment of recollection, he said: "This is an allusion in historical records." He paused briefly and recited a paragraph: "Zi attacked Tian Zifang, the teacher of Marquis Wen, in Chaoge, led his car to avoid it, and went down to pay homage to Tian Zifang.

It is not a courtesy. Zi Chiyin asked: "Are the rich and noble people arrogant? And the poor and lowly people are arrogant?" Zifang said: "The poor and lowly people are also arrogant. The princes who are arrogant will lose their country, and the great officials will be arrogant."

People will lose their home. If the poor and lowly do not agree with each other and do not use words, then they will go to Chu and Yue. If they are separated from their parents, how can they be the same!'"

Zhu Qizhen has worked really hard in his studies in the past few years. He only understands the principles of Confucianism, but he has worked hard on history. Even now, he still finds time to listen to lectures at the Hanlin Academy.

Without him, he understood one thing deeply.

Perhaps, ancient history books are inconsistent with historical facts, but since Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, history itself is political science.

This is particularly evident in Zizhi Tongjian.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen made great efforts to read history books in order to inform the present.

The Empress Dowager said: "'If a prince is arrogant, he will lose his country; if a doctor is arrogant, he will lose his family.' This sentence is very good. This is what I am most worried about. Your civility, Taoism and martial arts

I'm not worried about it, but you seem to have a sense of pride in your bones. Yes, even though you have changed the ancestral law and sat down with the cabinet bachelors to discuss things, there is still not a lot of pride in your bones."

The etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was strict, and ministers below were often asked to kneel down to perform, especially on many serious occasions. However, once Zhu Qizhen changed the system, all ministers and ministers, big and small, had a seat in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Of course, depending on the official position, it can be divided into chairs, wooden benches, or piers.

But this point is enough for Zhu Qizhen to win over many people.

"Empress," Zhu Qizhen wanted to retort. He had a lot of excuses. After all, for Zhu Qizhen now, it is commonplace to think one thing in his mind and say another with ease.

But facing the Empress Dowager whose life had come to an end, Zhu Qizhen could not tell a single lie.

Zhu Qizhen knew that what the Empress Dowager said was right. This kind of pride was Zhu Qizhen's arrogance towards time travellers. He felt that his knowledge came from the lower reaches of history and was enough to squeeze the pride of everyone in the world.

The Empress Dowager said: "You are the emperor, and all the people in the world are your servants. It is normal for you to be a little arrogant. But this has always been what worries me the most. There is one sentence that I have said a lot about.

This time, let me say it again: Wisdom enough to refuse advice, words enough to cover up wrongdoing is the way to subjugate the country. It is not easy for the eighty-year inheritance of your ancestors to be passed down to you. I only ask you to think about the following when making important decisions.
