Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

Chapter 172 No one will win

Not to mention that the most honorable empress couple in the world had already had contact before marriage. Although one was secretive and the other pretended to cooperate, they didn't seem very candid.

But in fact, even if their impressions of each other are not so shocking and irresistible, most of the impressions they retain are positive, and they have a certain degree of familiarity.

This allows them to move in the right direction more smoothly when they are running in after marriage, and their relationship gets better day by day.

This is also how they can have enough time to get along.

As I said before, although Zheng Chengyun is the emperor, the power in his hands is limited now, and there are many things that he cannot decide by himself.

The same is true for the matter of reviewing memorials. What is in his hands now, except for the colorful greetings submitted by the people below, the rest are some unimportant trivial matters. Zheng Chengyun really wants to intervene, such as personnel affairs, Financial and military matters are still almost out of touch.

Those matters were handed over to Zheng Chengyun after the important officials of the court wrote their opinions on how to deal with them. Zheng Chengyun wanted to take a gamble and not follow what they said, but he was sensible and knew that this was just taking his country and society to vent his anger. In essence, the gains outweigh the losses.

What's more, after Zheng Chengyun read the solutions they presented, he had to admit that they handled the affairs thoughtfully and cleverly, which he could never have imagined.

This realization made Zheng Cheng's luck even more depressed.

After all, no one is willing to admit his incompetence. Even if Zheng Chengyun was really incompetent before, he has become an emperor now, and his self-esteem and ambition have also increased with the rise of his status. Things that he could laugh off before, but now he is a bit bitter. bosom.

But no matter how hard Zheng Chengyun was, he had never been transferred in relevant departments under the arrangement of his father like his brothers before, and he had never really lowered his body to understand the operation of the government and dealt with basic affairs. It was a bit hard work on the government.

However, those veteran officials in the imperial court were worried about this, and they refuted some of Zheng Chengyun's decisions out of an attitude of being responsible for the entire imperial court.

Then the conflict between Zheng Chengyun and those courtiers can only be said that they have different positions. In fact, they still hope that the great Zheng Dynasty will be good in their hearts.

If a balance is found between the two, Zheng Chengyun is not so eager to take power as soon as possible, but slowly learns the methods of those old foxes in the court. After a few years, he should be able to achieve a smooth transition of power in the court.

After all, the saying "one emperor, one courtier" is an unspoken rule tacitly accepted by everyone, and most of the old officials who were relied on by the late emperor are old, with gray hair and declining physical fitness, and they are also going home to play with their grandchildren. Time to enjoy family fun.

The remaining few who are in their prime of life, if they are clear-headed and not overwhelmed by the power in their hands, they should also realize that they, the "old ministers" in the hands of the former emperor, should also step down, at least they can Make way for the children who are at home and can be for you.

Now people talk about "clan", and the interests of the individual family must ultimately be subordinated to the overall interests of the family. If the patriarch and elders put forward any opinions, no matter how high a person's status outside is, most of them cannot refuse.

It's just that both parties miscalculated Zheng Chengyun's mental state, including Zheng Chengyun himself.

Zheng Chengyun was so indifferent to fame and fortune before, and he was humble, was it because he was peaceful in nature and didn't like fighting?
It turns out not to be the case.

Born in the place where the power is most concentrated in the whole world, which child has not been nurtured in ambition by years of exposure?

It's just that Zheng Chengyun's biological mother, Concubine Chen, is of low status and is not favored, and she has a temperament that is said to be gentle but actually cowardly. There is no sense of presence.

Ever since he was a child, Zheng Chengyun has also been taught by Concubine Chen to follow the rules and be safe at all times, and he is also used to playing wisely and staying out of the limelight in the battles between brothers.

After that, he successfully hugged the prince's brother's thigh and stood in the prince's camp. Because Zheng Chengyun's image of incompetence and cowardice was too successful, he was not allowed to intervene in any important affairs.

This kind of innocent resume also made the first emperor choose him as the final heir in desperation, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

However, even if Zheng Chengyun has always been in peace and contentment, trying not to cause trouble as much as possible, this seemingly stable life is not all smooth sailing.

Because he "doesn't live up to expectations", it is a matter of course that he has no real power in his hands. Even if he has the status of a prince, in fact, he cannot be respected by most people except the few people who serve him.

To be precise, even he and his mother and concubine are kind-hearted, rarely beat and scold servants, and some of the servants around them try their best to transfer to other concubines' palaces for their own future.

Then when Zheng Chengyun was walking outside, it was not an incomprehensible thing for him to be neglected by some children who held real power.

It was true that his external environment was not very good before, but at that time it had become a habit to keep a low profile, no matter how ups and downs he felt in his heart, he could only tell himself not to be angry, not caring, and it didn't matter, and then pretend nothing happened.

But the uncertainty of fate is reflected here. No one in the whole world would have imagined that the invisible man who was the most neglected and neglected at the beginning, the little poor man, turned around and jumped into the dragon gate. dragon.

Then, this "lucky guy" who had never received similar education before, faced with such earth-shaking changes, his mentality of taking it for granted was not flat, and his taking it for granted was inflated.

It is said that the extreme low self-esteem will manifest as self-confidence externally. To a certain extent, Zheng Chengyun is also like this.

However, Zheng Chengyun's mentality is taken for granted by outsiders.

No matter how many people in the world slander him, bully him, humiliate him, laugh at him, despise him, belittle him, hate him, or lie to him, the people around him are still the same people, but they all change their faces and smile in front of him. Even if Zheng Chengyun said something unpleasant to them in front of them, most of them could do it on their own.

Those individuals who had the most conflicts with him before have been detained by their families in the mansion, and some have been sent back to their hometowns in the countryside. It seems that they are afraid that Zheng Chengyun will find out the old accounts and implicate the whole family, so they are simply not allowed to show up in front of Zheng Chengyun.

After Zheng Chengyun ascended the throne, he had taken these things lightly, but the actions of these people inevitably made Zheng Chengyun feel happy.

I also initially realized the importance of having power in my hands.

But Zheng Chengyun's tragedy is that his ability is still unable to support his ambition, and his mentality is impetuous.

Zheng Chengyun knew that his condition was wrong, but he had no way to change it.

Knowing that Li Yuanying was married after the big wedding, my mentality began to calm down.

Li Yuanying is not just a wife to him, but also his salvation in a certain sense.

Zheng Chengyun's impatience is because he has a guilty conscience, and he has no confidence. The former emperor's backer left early, and the prince's brother who had a good relationship is no longer alive. The few surviving brothers look down on him, and the mother's family can't provide help. The environment is helpless. , so that Zheng Chengyun felt that he was a head short when dealing with those big families and nobles.

But now the leader of the nobles, the Duke of Protecting the Country, is standing behind him, and the military power behind the Li family is equivalent to his strength. He will no longer have to struggle alone to see No way forward.
