Daming One Piece

Chapter 170 The Black-bellied Emperor Zhu Youxiao (Second update, please subscribe)
The emperor's casual question made Wei Zhongxian's heart tighten. Could it be that the emperor guessed it?

This master is a bit playful, but Wei Zhongxian never dared to treat the emperor as a fool, this master has his shrewdness.

"My lord, this old slave..."

Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

"Okay, in fact, it doesn't matter who comes up with it. The important thing is to do things well, so that the people of the world can benefit. That's it, Jin Zhong. There are still many things to do over there. Do your job well and don't bully me."

After a fluttering sentence, Zhu Youxiao gave instructions to the little eunuch on the side.

"Let's go to Concubine Rong's place later."

In fact, Zhu Youxiao did not go to see Concubine Rong Ren, but to see his son last year. Zhu Cijiong, who is not yet one year old, is his third son. One of the first two sons was stillborn and the other died young. According to Zhu Youxiao, the first emperor, he has always valued this son very much.He even had the idea of ​​becoming a prince once his son was one year old.

When he arrived at Concubine Rong's palace, he saw that his son, who was only ten months old, could stand up. Zhu Youxiao, who was in a good mood, didn't even pay attention to Concubine Rong's salute, but went directly to play with his son.

For a while, the hall was full of laughter. Who would have thought that the majestic king of a country would sit on the ground and play with the baby, but the baby's energy was limited, and after playing for a while, he yawned quickly. He took the initiative to pick up the child, and when he was coaxing his son to sleep, when he watched his son gradually fall asleep, he said to himself in his heart.

"Jinger, you need to grow up quickly. When you grow up, our Ming Dynasty will be different from the past. You don't know. Since Sejong, our Ming Dynasty has never been quiet for a day. By the time of Shenzong, there was chaos in the court, even Liaodong was gone, they said that Liaodong was gone, it was a military disaster, but in fact, it was not because of the dispute between the court..."

Holding his son in his arms and gently shaking his arms, Zhu Youxiao looked at his son with loving eyes.

"In the past two years, I have used Wei Zhongxian. Why should I use him? It's not because of the court affairs. They say I use eunuchs, but I really want to use them, but they are arguing, arguing, arguing. It's not the country, and it's not a matter of quarreling. In the current Ming Dynasty, they can tolerate such quarrels. If this quarrel continues, the ancestors' kingdom will be over. Either your father or I will be the king of subjugation, or you If I did, I would be sorry for my ancestors!"

That is to say, when facing his son, Zhu Youxiao can say, no, he can think of what is in his heart. This is because of his inner side, and he will never show it to others, at least he will never show it to outsiders. Even in front of the concubine, she will not reveal her true inner thoughts.

"When you grow up, you will know. In fact, it is up to the emperor to decide who to use, but the emperor can't do whatever he wants. Shizong couldn't, Shenzong couldn't, your father and I couldn't, people said Sejong was like that. What's the use of Yan Chong alone? Even if Yan Chong and the Supervisor of Rituals work together, they will be vulnerable in front of Sejong. No matter how tough Hai Rui is, all he can do in the end is "die." Remonstrance"; the strict party that has been in charge of the world for 20 years, and finally the emperor abolished it with a word; the "old ancestor" Lu Fang, who was in power for a while, was demoted even if he said it; these are all matters of the emperor's word."

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao sighed again.

"When it's the emperor's words, the emperor can't do whatever he wants. The emperor has to compromise when it's time to compromise, and the emperor has to buy what needs to be bought. Didn't Shizong annoy Hai Rui back then? But he couldn't kill him, and he couldn't kill him either. Kill him, because even the emperor has to rely on officials to govern the country, Daming is so big, nothing can happen, let us both."

Staring at his son An Xiang's sleeping face, Zhu Youxiao didn't know why he talked to his son so much in his heart, maybe it was because he was too depressed.

"When Sejong used Yan Chong, he said it was a strict party monopoly, but everyone knows that Sejong didn't mean it. Therefore, Sejong used Yan Chong with his hands tied. How much infamy did Shenzong use eunuchs to collect taxes? Why? It will be like this, because everyone in the world knows that Sejong is shrewd and Shenzong is smart, so he can only watch some things, watching the factional struggles and the chaos of the government, even if he uses one party to beat the other party, he can only get one party dismissed. When we go to the local area, continue to mobilize public opinion to clean up the discussion, this is how the government of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt..."

A stern look flashed in Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

"But your father, I can't be the king of subjugation, and I can't hand over such a world to you, so I use Wei Zhongxian. He was born in the market, and he has no bottom line in doing things. If he wants to seize power, he will kill people. His selfishness will let him Willing to make that knife, the world's infamy will fall on him, your father and I are just..."

What is it?

fatuous?

Zhu Youxiao smiled dumbly in his heart.

"That's because your father and I need that knife! In the future, when you grow up, you will understand the painstaking efforts of being a father, but don't be fooled by others, whether it's those civil servants or eunuchs, After all, everyone has their own selfishness, even Hai Rui had his own selfishness when he "deadly remonstrated", he was sure that Sejong would not kill him, but now, who can guarantee that Wei Zhongxian will not Kill him?"

Zhu Youxiao's black eyes were shining brightly. Who would have thought that everything he has done since he ascended the throne is just a play, for whom?Naturally, it was performed for the whole world to see.

Wei Zhongxian killed several members of the Donglin Party, bearing the world's infamy.It's not enough to kill those who have been dismissed from office and continue to launch so-called clean-up discussions in the localities, trying to make a comeback with the help of public opinion, but Zhu Youxiao will not give them that chance, and Wei Zhongxian will not!

This reversal is an opportunity.

For all this, Zhu Youxiao acquiesces, and he is even secretly looking forward to Wei Zhongxian's expansion, because only in this way can the chaos of the Ming government be stopped, and the government will not fall into the constant entanglement of party disputes like it did a few years ago among.

"Use heavy codes in troubled times..."

Zhu Youxiao said to himself.

"You can use heavy codes, but you have to sort out some things first, infamy..."

Let others carry it first!
At this moment, Concubine Rong said.

"Your Majesty, Jiong'er has already fallen asleep, should I hand it over to ** and put it on the bed first?"

"No, I'll let it go myself..."

Zhu Youxiao laughed.

"In the future, I will come here often, often to accompany Jiong'er, after a long time, I can relax a lot..."
