Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 220 The Weeping Emperor

"Let me tell you, when my father was about to leave, he said that I would hold on to this position. I was really serious. I wrote memorials until midnight every day, just thinking that the Great Ming Dynasty would be in my hands...Master Yang, Master Yang, I really respect him. When I was young, he was very kind to me. Why... You said why people in the court objected today. Not only did he not speak for me, but he also took the lead... and took the lead..."

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he wailed bitterly, like a sad and wronged child.

Jiang Bin's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't bear to turn his head aside.

Qin Shao was also very sad in his heart.

He thought of his helpless life in his early twenties in his previous life. At that time, he often healed himself in the collapse, and collapsed in the self-healing, over and over again, until his heart was built into a solid wall of iron and steel.

Today's Zhu Houzhao is actually just a young man in his 20s.

If it was in the previous life, most of the time it was only a few years after graduating from university, and it was still in the stage of youth and confusion.

The biggest concern of ordinary people is how to buy a house, settle down and marry a wife.

And even though this person doesn't need to worry about those trivial things, he has a bigger burden on him.

That burden is heavier and more stressful.

Maybe he would be happier if he was a merry-go-round guy.

Who has the most painful and tiring life?
That's the person in charge!
Not a person who lives for himself!

When Qin Shao was in college, a boy in the dormitory hung himself up because of relationship problems, ending his young life, which caused a great commotion at the time.

Many people feel sorry for him.

Qin Shao felt that that person was actually very selfish, a person who only lived for himself and did not consider others.

Because many people dare not be so self-willed, they have family members, relatives and many responsibilities behind them, and they don’t live for themselves, so they dare not be so self-willed.

In his view, those who casually commit suicide and collapse are actually the most selfish people.

People who don't cry bitterly when they are drunk or late at night are not mature enough to talk about life.

He believes that Zhu Houzhao is also slowly maturing through the blows and lessons step by step, and realizes that his steps are too big, and everything can only be done slowly.

"Do you have hangover soup at home?"

Qin Shao said in a low voice with Jiang Bin beside him.

Jiang Bin nodded and asked someone to make hangover soup.

Soon someone brought green plum and sour soup.

Qin Shao poured a bowl of sour plum hangover soup for Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao might also be tired and thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Then he motioned Jiang Bin to take him to wash his face.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao came out of the bathroom, feeling much better.

"Ziming, what do you think of the current situation? Feel free to say it. You wrote the memorial to the Western Regions earlier, and you were very predictable. Fortunately, Lin Tong and the others went in time to avoid a catastrophe."

Zhu Houzhao sat down again, cleared his voice and said.

"Your Majesty, I think your steps are a little too big."

Qin Shao said directly.

"Why is it too big? I just did some things. I didn't insist on Jingcha. I agree with the memorial you wrote last time, and I will show it slowly! So, this time, my purpose is to let the clan participate in the imperial examination. Jingcha is just an introduction. I didn't expect such a big reaction from them."

Zhu Houzhao sighed a little.

"Even though you didn't insist on Jingcha, they have already begun to be vigilant. You first proposed the imperial examination, and they relaxed a little. With the battle in the Western Regions, you directly appointed your own people to be ministers of the Ministry of War. How can they not be in a hurry?"

"Your problem now is indeed that you have too few people in the court, but it needs to be a slow process. You have to recruit a group of your own people to slowly check and balance. If the court operates normally without them, they are willing to invite Resignation, but something you can't ask for..."

Since Zhu Houzhao intends to speak bluntly, Qin Shao is not polite to express his opinion.

Now it's the civil servants twisting into a rope to fight against the emperor, and if they don't like them, they will end the court.

This is the same as an enterprise, if the workers are not working, how can they play?
The only way to solve it is to have the strength to back up and find someone of your own to replace them slowly.

Someone can help them fight the ring for them, and then capture the thief first and the king first, and get rid of the result of the stabbing.

Of course, there is another way, that is to kill chickens and monkeys, and directly kill a group of them.

But according to Qin Shao's understanding of Zhu Houzhao, although the emperor has a heroic personality, his heart is not hard enough, and he is often emotional.

"You're right, Ziming, once I used ruthless means this time, they would stop the court directly. Except for Wang Qiong, no one in the entire court stood by me. I am truly alone! If I hadn't insisted, I would have Seeing that they still want to force Jiang Bin to be dealt with like Liu Jin, this is the only thing I hold in my hands right now."

"It's just self-evident, Yang Ge's old way, it's too long, I can't wait! If I'm like him, I have to win over those literati step by step. I don't like those people's mothers-in-law, just like Wang Qiong. , although he is a literati, he is actually more of a military commander, and you, I can chat!"

"Those civil servants, including Mr. Yang Ge, go around three hundred times with their words. I really hate it! Asking me to find someone to scold and fight with those people is even more impatient!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little impatient.

"Ziming, you take the exam well, and you will have the next year's exam. You take the exam well, and I'll make you an official after you pass the exam! If those civil servants don't have so many twists and turns like you, I'd like to get along with them."

Zhu Houzhao said longingly.

Qin Shao sighed, Zhu Houzhao is still being swayed by those civil servants, even if he is admitted in the future, he has to take it step by step, so as not to become a target of public criticism like Jiang Bin and Liu Jin.

Even though that fellow Zhu Houcong has many faults, his greatest strength is his patience, fighting back and forth with those civil servants.

In the dispute of great ceremony and discussion, he not only ended up on his own, but also specially recruited Zhang Cong, Gui E and others who were good at quarreling and cursing. These people were unreasonable.

They and the civil servants of the Ministry of Rites who formed a group spit on the spot and flew all over the place, so they almost scolded their mothers.

But after scolding, he still smiled and said it was a discussion.

I'll tell you the truth, and if you're right, you can come to the debate. If you can't say resign, then you don't have reason.

If it doesn't work, just kill one, if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come!

Since you're pretending to be a rascal, let's compare!
"Then if His Majesty wants to restore the current situation, he can only issue an imperial edict!"

Qin Shao said with a sigh.

It is difficult to change a person's personality immediately.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is suitable to be a general galloping on the battlefield. All the weapons in his hand can speak without so many twists and turns.

"Forget it! If you sin against yourself, you will sin against yourself. Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issue a sin against yourself? If there is any embarrassment, I can do it! Let those people come back to work early, as for the future, just take it easy !"

"By the way, do you have any suggestions for the clan's scientific examination?"

It seems that Zhu Houzhao felt that there was nothing wrong with incriminating himself, as long as he didn't give him a headache for those people in the court. Qin Shao knew that he couldn't persuade him.

And now we can't force Yang Tinghe to be too anxious, lest the dog jump over the wall in a hurry.

"Isn't your Majesty almost done with letting the clan take part in the scientific examination? I heard that with the support of the clan, His Majesty can reward you, and then set some examples, so that more people will be willing to learn."

"And the scientific examination is a long learning process. It should not be too obvious at the beginning. His Majesty's rewards can also be opened to some students in the college examination. Only from the bottom can they have the confidence to go up step by step."

"Well, what you said is very good! I think so too."

Zhu Houzhao felt a lot better when he thought that his decision was supported by members of the clan.

After all, the clan is still its own people, and it is more reliable than outsiders at critical moments.

Zhu Houzhao may have opened up his heart knot, and became sleepy after talking for a while.

Perhaps due to the pressure these days, he should not have slept well.

Jiang Bin arranged for Zhu Houzhao to rest in the backyard, and Qin Shao also left.
