Chapter 382 Zhu Yijun's Hide Your Power
Hearing Queen Mother Li's words, Wang Xijue was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of Queen Mother Li's words, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, if you want to protect a place forever, it is naturally the best to guard it with the Duke of the country, but Xiao Ruxun's current age If it's less than 24, it's fine if it's a hereditary title, but Xiao Ruxun is still a little short of being a duke for the military title, if it's really conferred, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

"It doesn't work, that doesn't work. If you can't think of a suitable way to keep Xiao Ruxun there, are you going to call Xiao Ruxun back to the capital and put him next to the emperor? Mr. Wangge, you should still remember what happened that day? Is it possible?" You want that to be true?"

Seeing Empress Dowager Li's unkind expression, Wang Xijue swallowed.

"What the queen mother said is very true, Xiao Jixin cannot return to Beijing, but given his age and military achievements, it is true that he has not yet reached the time to confer the title of duke. Marquis, how about making him Marquis of Zhennan, Shizhen Burma?"

Wang Xijue tentatively asked Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Li thought about it, and felt that there was nothing to change, but after thinking about it, she still urged: "When making the decree, pay attention to the wording and sentences, and pay attention to giving some tax-free items to Myanmar. Such policy care, after all, our imperial court did not do it honestly, Xiao Ruxun is still loyal to Daming and understands the reason, we can't go too far and hurt the hearts of heroes."

"The old minister understands that Burma Town is nominally under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yunnan, but there are no Han people, no prefectures and counties here, poor and white, and no officials. Who does the governor of Yunnan manage? It can only be said to supervise in name, but in fact he also manages it. As for the tax matters, Xiao Ruxun should let Xiao Ruxun handle it by himself, and his authority is greater than that of the Mu family in Yunnan, which can be regarded as appeasing the heart of the hero, and the veteran thought that Xiao Jixin would definitely understand the meaning of the court."

Empress Dowager Li nodded, waved her hand, and asked the maid beside her to bring a tray to Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue took the tray, looked inside, and saw a blank imperial decree covered with a jade seal.

"I'll leave this matter to you to figure out. You can also contact Xiao Jixin about the reward for Xiao Jixin and the arrangements for the refugees to settle in later. You can take care of it together. When you finish this matter, the Ai family will allow you to come to the table." Resign, let you go back to your hometown, and spend your old age in peace."

Wang Xijue was shocked, and he fell on the ground and shouted loudly: "My minister, Wang Xijue, thank the Queen Mother for her kindness!"

Empress Dowager Li sighed slightly and waved her hand.

"go Go!"

Wang Xijue bowed again, and then slowly exited the palace.

Looking at Wang Xijue's leaving back, the look in Empress Dowager Li's eyes flickered.

"How is the emperor?"

She asked the serving eunuch beside her.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty still locks the gate of the palace tightly, and no one is allowed in or out except for his confidantes and servants. The old slave went three or five times, and was blocked every time. I didn't get permission to go in and out, and I haven't seen His Majesty for a while."

Empress Dowager Li frowned.

"It's still going on! How old is he! He's still the emperor! How could he be so petty? Absurd! Come here, bring the jade seal and drive it! Follow Ai's family to visit the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Li gave an order to drive to the emperor's palace.

Zhu Yijun was indeed traumatized. The last attempted coup almost drove the 30-year-old emperor into the abyss, but the emperor is the emperor after all. Zhu Yijun is in good health and only 30 years old. It is the time when he is most energetic. It is absolutely impossible for a 30-year-old emperor to enter the state of an old emperor. At this time, the emperor may be depressed, and may hide his strength and bide his time, but it is impossible to lose all hope.

Zhu Yijun is keeping a low profile, studying hard, and cultivating energy. He secretly found Emperor Jiajing to review some memorials written by the ministers, especially the story of how the young Emperor Jiajing defeated Yang Tinghe, the veteran of the three dynasties, and regained power step by step during the Great Rites Event. Zhu Yijun Began to be very interested, very concerned.

After handing over the jade seal, Zhu Yijun didn't sleep well for a few days. When he finally woke up and realized that a man should not be powerless for a day, he didn't know how to get back his own jade seal. He could only trust his mother to be absolutely He will not abolish his throne as the emperor, and expects his mother to return the jade seal to him and return the power to him, so that he can start the next stage of action.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, the more I look at it, the more amazed. These days, Zhu Yijun kept flipping through the memorials of his grandpa Jiajing and Yang Tinghe and others fighting wits and courage, extracting some clues from the middle, and constantly pieced together, and finally roughly restored the original scene. In the past few years, how Grandpa Jiajing brought down an old fox of the Three Dynasties with the body of a teenage boy.

It can only be said that reality is always better than romance. Luo Guanzhong wrote a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which made the world think that it was the peak period of China's strategy since ancient times. In fact, China has always been at the peak of strategy, but the division of the country can be seen more clearly. National unity is not clear.

But Grandpa Jiajing used his teenage years to bring down a 70-[-]-year-old fox. Isn't this enough to prove the power of conspiracy?
At the same time, he also sincerely admires his Grandpa Jiajing, a lucky man who became a big clan from a small clan, a foreign vassal who has no foundation in the court, a little guy who smokes from his ancestral grave, a man who has been overwhelmed by power. Yang Tinghe was chosen to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Yang Tinghe just wanted to find a young puppet with no roots so that he could continue to be in power and make life easier for civil servants.

But he didn't know that he chose Zhu Houcong, an emperor with high IQ and EQ who ranked among the top three in the emperor's IQ ranking in Chinese history.

The fact that Zhu Houcong was an emperor with high IQ and high EQ is becoming more and more known in modern times, but at that time, it was a fact that the literati tried their best to cover up.

It can't be covered up, isn't it embarrassing enough for a group of Chinese elites to be played and applauded by a brat?
Yang Tinghe, a veteran of the three dynasties, was overthrown, and the power of the civil servants who once dominated the world was severely frustrated. Emperor Jiajing successfully raised the centrifugal forces, eunuch forces, and Jinyiwei forces among the civil servants, and constantly checked and balanced the pure civil servant forces, making himself the most detached. That person, and firmly holds the supreme authority of the empire.

This situation did not change until Yan Song died.

Zhu Houcong's success is extremely rare in the entire Ming Dynasty and even in the entire history of China, and it is also something Zhu Yijun admires very much. He feels that he is very similar to the original Grandpa Jiajing. He will work hard to learn the methods of Grandpa Jiajing In order to become the second Grandpa Jiajing.

While studying, the eunuch beside him came to report—the empress dowager came.
