Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 479 The way of an emperor, the way of employing people

"Life is full of states, and each has different preferences, just enjoy yourself!"

Facing endless memorials all day long, it would be a lie to say that he is not tired, but Zhu Houzhao just indulges in it, because he loves power and loves the country.

One memorial and one matter, when the next day's affairs are resolved in his hands, he has an indescribable sense of morbid satisfaction, as if the world is in his hands.

"You are also from the royal family, but in my opinion, you don't have the scheming city that the royal family should have."

Zhu Hou took a look at Ying Feixue and said calmly.

"Since the emperor's ancestor became detached, the Ying family has flourished and prospered. There are countless branches and factions. There are not many people in my lineage, so there is no need to intrigue with others."

Ying Feixue said in a flat tone, with a strong sense of pride in her words, that supreme ancestor dragon is the unswerving ultimate belief of all the descendants of the Xianqin Ying clan.

The royal family of Xianqin Ying did not believe in heaven, earth, gods, immortals, or ghosts. They only believed in the supreme human ancestor dragon of Xianqin.

"Which line are you from?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested and asked.

"If we want to go back to the origin, the ancestor of my lineage should be Gongzi Gao."

Young Master Gao, one of the sons of the First Emperor, is far less famous than Young Master Fu Su and Qin Ershi Hu Hai.

"father"

At this time, Zhu Qiyuan walked in hurriedly. He had just returned from Huguang, and he came to see Zhu Houzhao before he had time to change his clothes. He had some questions that urgently needed to be clarified.

"Mother, you are here too."

He saw Ying Feixue at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

The son who was always in his heart came back, Ying Feixue couldn't help showing a smile on his cold face, and Zhu Houzhao nodded symbolically.

Father's love is as thick as a mountain, and mother's love is as gentle as water. Although the forms of expression are different, the love in the heart is the same.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Huguang and his party are going well."

"Bon voyage, nothing out of the ordinary."

Zhu Qiyuan couldn't wait to ask: "Father, do you have any other deep meaning in letting me go to Huguang!"

I thought that going to Huguang was just to greet Li Dongyang on behalf of Zhu Houzhao, but during the conversation with Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang's intentional or unintentional probing made him realize that things were by no means as simple as they appeared on the surface.

He likes to make waves, but he is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is an extremely smart person with a keen eye for people and things.

"I don't mean much, I just want to use your hand to tell my teacher, don't be careless and go the wrong way."

Zhu Houzhao didn't hide it, and just took this opportunity to teach Zhu Qiyuan a lesson.

The road of the emperor should not be influenced by feelings, but must have the determination to meet gods and kill gods, and Buddhas to kill Buddhas, and Zhu Qiyuan is still a little too tender.

"Wrong way?"

Zhu Qiyuan was at a loss and couldn't understand what Zhu Houzhao was saying.

"Your little uncle hasn't been very quiet lately. He wants to win over Mr. Li to make him stronger."

Zhu Houzhao still has a little appreciation for An Wang, knowing that he is not too stupid to be hopeless to win over Li Dongyang.

If Li Dongyang was really won over by King An, he would still not be a threat to him, but the court situation would inevitably be turbulent.

"Little uncle, King An?"

Zhu Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, why did this matter get involved with An Wang again.

Zhu Houzhao didn't explain too much. It is not appropriate for Zhu Qiyuan to know about the banning of King An, so he opened the topic casually: "What do you think of Mr. Li?"

"Knowledgeable and resourceful."

Zhu Qiyuan said without hesitation: "My son chatted with Mr. Li for two hours, and his views on the current political situation gave me a feeling of enlightenment."

"It's superficial, there's a deeper level you haven't seen yet."

Zhu Houzhao said solemnly: "Li Dongyang is not only your father and my teacher, but also a veteran of the three dynasties. He has a very high prestige both in the court and in the opposition."

"Today's important officials in the court, such as Yang Yiqing, Wang Jia, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, Wang Zuo, Wang Qiong and others all have very good personal relationships with him."

"A large part of the officials from various places come from his sect."

"Such a person has too high a prestige and a strong appeal. If they are used by someone with a heart, they will definitely create a lot of momentum."

He told his son meaningfully: "A person like Li Dongyang who has both high prestige and strong charisma, even if he is not used by the court, he cannot be used by others."

The way of the emperor, the way of employing people.

Who can be reused, who can't be used, who can be trusted, who can be trusted, who can't be trusted, but must be guarded against. Zhu Houzhao has long made a standard summary.

Li Dongyang seems to be within the range that can be used but must be guarded.

With Li Dongyang's prestige and appeal, if he quarrels with King An, there will be a riot in his Taiwu Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyuan stared blankly at Zhu Houzhao, lost in thought. He didn't even trust his teacher completely. Is this the so-called emperor?
At this moment, he finally understood a little bit why all civil and military officials respected and feared Zhu Houzhao, and why Zhu Houzhao always gave him a feeling of loneliness, because the emperor himself was synonymous with loneliness.

Believe in no one, everyone is calculating, calculating this and that all the time, weighing gains and losses, gradually losing oneself in the pleasure of power and desire, ruthless and desireless, cold and selfish, this is the emperor.

"Think about it!"

Zhu Houzhao patted Zhu Qiyuan on the shoulder, and clearly placed the cruelty of imperial power in front of Zhu Qiyuan. It may be a little cruel, but learning to accept reality is the first hurdle to the superior.

The rivers and lakes taught Zhu Qiyuan how to survive in a dangerous environment, and he wanted to teach Zhu Qiyuan how to be a superior person.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the superior person is rich and rich, but the real superior person, calculating and being calculated, the balance of interests and power, needs to be considered in all aspects.

To go to the rivers and lakes, Zhu Qiyuan is already a qualified rivers and lakes person, but as a superior, he is still far behind. He always looks at problems superficially, and is still not mature enough.

"From tomorrow onwards, go to supervise the country. Those old foxes in the court will let you understand that it is not as simple as you think to manipulate a country."

With a thought on his mind, Zhu Houzhao decided to light a big fire, let this fire light up Zhu Qiyuan's eyes, and let him see the true face of politics thoroughly.

Didn't he also grow up in the intrigue with the officials, he believed that his son would not be inferior to him.

Blue out of blue is better than blue!
"Jianguo, me?"

Zhu Qiyuan opened his mouth wide, a little unbelievable. Just these two times, if he went to supervise the country, wouldn't he be afraid that he would make a mess.

"Correct."

Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily and said: "Don't be afraid that you won't be able to play well. Your father and I became the throne at the age of 16, so we came here anyway, not to mention I have you behind you."

"Don't worry, let's do it, Dad, I will keep the place for you."

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and his whole body was domineering. Zhu Qiyuan was not the one who could only rely on himself back then. Zhu Qiyuan had his backing behind him. He wanted to see what kind of sparks could be created between the officials and Zhu Qiyuan.

"Yes."

Zhu Qiyuan knew that once his father made a decision, he would not make any changes, so he could only accept it with a bitter face.

If Zhu Gaoxu, one of Zhu Dihengha's two generals, saw this scene, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood, thinking that Zhu Gaoxu had been begging the prison country but could not get it, but Zhu Qiyuan got it, and he still looked reluctant.

It's hard to compare goods, it's hard to compare people, it's infuriating.

After all, the only child and the pie-eating man are different.
