Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 215

Lao Zhu was lying on the couch in Qianqing Palace, with his arms folded and no quilt covered. Empress Ma heard the report from the eunuch and maid, and came to see him.

Empress Ma lifted her dress and sat down beside him: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing someone talking, Lao Zhu opened his eyes and said to Empress Ma, "We're hungry."

Empress Ma didn't say much, she sighed and brought pastries from the table next to her: "You can eat some."

"No, we want sesame seed cakes." Lao Zhu turned around and closed his eyes: "Sister, go back, we want to be alone."

Needless to say, Empress Ma also knew that this stubborn donkey had something on his mind again, and he would behave like this whenever something happened, and it seemed that something was about to happen.

"Chongba, tell me what's wrong with you. Enke exam is coming soon, don't be foolish, you know."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu turned over and sat up dissatisfied: "You know what, sister, let me tell you today, you don't want to interfere or interfere in some things in the future, otherwise we will be rude to you."

Hearing what he said, Queen Ma became furious: "I won't be needed right now, you're amazing, right? I don't want to care about you either."

"Hey? You said it lightly! We are the only ones in the world who control others, and the people who control us have never been born. Look at when we were messed up. We have a clear conscience for the common people. We are also happy to meet the standards. We are also happy for those who are clean and honest. The minister, we value it more than anyone else, but some people just read a few broken books, who does he despise, we are the emperor.

Sister, don't think that because we miss your love, you can dictate here.Some people in the court are ashamed of showing face, the more face they show, the more arrogant they become, this is called degrading! "

Seeing Lao Zhu like this, Empress Ma simply stopped talking, and when she was about to leave, she heard a voice behind her: "Call Biaoer here, we have something to talk to him."

"In the middle of the night, my son is still sleeping, what are you doing?" Empress Ma glanced at the sky outside the window, and she was officially asleep at this moment.

"Yu Yi!"

Lao Zhu wanted to say something to Zhu Biao at this moment, and after tonight, he didn't want to talk about it tomorrow.

Not long after, Zhu Biao, who woke up from his sleep, rushed to Qianqing Palace and said calmly: "Father called his son to come here late at night, but there is something urgent."

"Father and son, let's talk. I~ asked the imperial dining room to make some cakes. I'll bring them to you." When Empress Ma went out, she asked someone to close the palace door.

Old Zhu sat upright, scratched his head and looked at Zhu Biao, and said with a smile, "Biaoer, let's tell you a story tonight."

"Father, please tell me." Zhu Biao sat beside him with a smile and helped him beat his back, "What story."

Lao Zhu began to tell stories.

There are a pair of brothers in the mountains. The elder brother is tall and mighty, and he can hunt with a hundred shots.Small brains are smart and can set traps.The brothers made an appointment with the two to cooperate.

The younger one helped the elder brother with ideas, and the elder brother was also extremely brave. The relationship between the two was very good, and they could share half of the food and drink.

When things got better, the old man was very rich and became the local boss. The second child was not happy after sharing the money, and wanted more, even including the chair and family property of the boss. The boss was very angry.

"Biao'er, do you think the eldest brother in the story should kill the second child?" Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao seriously.

The story is simple and clear, but Zhu Biao's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this just talking about those civil servants!

"Father..."

"Biaoer, money can be divided in the world, and food and clothing can be shared, but women and power must not be shared with others. This Li Shanchang is more greedy than us."

Zhu Biao said: "Father, Li Xiang is just greedy for power. Now that the founding of the country is the time to employ people, please think twice, father, and hint that it is better to beat Li Xiang."

"Sitting in this seat, we have never thought of being a good king in the mouth of the ministers, because the poor people pay the price for being a good king in the mouths of the ministers.

Originally, the king and the ministers should work together for the prosperity of the country, but in the end they became a mountain weighing on the people.The people are bitter in their hearts, and it will naturally erupt after accumulating for a long time.The one who wins the world is always the one who wins the hearts of the people.

It is not corrupt officials and moths that should be protected by the old Zhu's family, but thousands of people. If they are inclined to the people, they will naturally not be able to be the good king that the minister said. "

The merits and demerits of the emperor are finally commented by the ministers, because of their pens, the speeches of the common people will be overshadowed.

"I understand that being an emperor is not an easy task. It has been the case in all dynasties. A good king should not only have his own policies for governing the country, but also must distinguish right from wrong, and strive to be fair and just in doing things." Zhu Biao Say what you think.

Lao Zhu nodded: "Biao'er, continue talking about yourself."

"The doctrine of the golden mean is only suitable for balancing the relationship between ministers, but it is not suitable for governing the world. What is needed to govern the world is the art of the emperor, and it is even more necessary to distinguish right from right from right to wrong."

In terms of power, the emperor and the ministers have always been opposites. Things that benefit the people often hurt the interests of those ministers and their families.

The opinions of the ministers are not unified, especially those who think they are talented and learned.Often ministers will disagree because of their opinions, and at this time a golden mean is needed.

These Zhu Biao understand.

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhu said: "A person who is said to be good by the ministers can only be a good person, not a good emperor.

When we become the emperor, we can no longer be the good people that the ministers say, and we can't just listen to them and believe them, because that is the prosperous age they carefully arranged for us.

Biao'er, the emperor must not be kind, and he must not trust his ministers completely. If you trust too much and be kind, you will kill yourself.

We only think about how to make the people rich and obedient to the court, so that officials can do things for the court in a down-to-earth way. As a royal family, we can consolidate our power, cultivate our own virtues, balance various political forces, and take action when necessary, so as not to be controlled by other forces Threat, become a puppet. "

"understood."

"Don't worry, we will only beat and beat Li Shanchang and the others. If it doesn't cause trouble, then it's fine. If you don't know what to do, don't blame us."

If you are a good emperor, you will inevitably be criticized by the ministers.

Song Renzong was a good man in history, but he was not a good emperor, nor could he be a great emperor.

Although that Emperor Yong Le was not the good king that the ministers said he was, he was a good emperor.

You must never be too kind to yourself.

If it is too kind, Lao Zhu will kill those generals, and history will repeat the same mistakes.

Soon, Empress Ma asked the people in the imperial dining room to bring some side dishes, porridge and cakes.

"What are you father and son talking about?" Empress Ma said to Zhu Biao, "I waited for him for a long time, but he didn't speak."

"We were hungry then." Old Zhu said to Empress Ma after eating deliciously, "Don't ask about our affairs."

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace at dawn, and Sanbao followed him back from Qianqing Palace, saying: "His Royal Highness, go and rest."

In the middle of the night, His Majesty called His Highness over, and after talking for so long, Sanbao was really worried about Zhu Biao's body.

Discuss with Yu'er and the others immediately, and order the imperial dining room to prepare some soup for dinner, and make up for Zhu Biao.

The next few days were uneventful, Lao Zhu was also very concerned about Enke, and Zhu Biao continued to prepare for the National Academy of Scholars and the first Enke.
