At this time, Wu Wu only listened to Zhu Zhanji say:

"As an emperor, when it comes to governance, you must know how to delegate and how to exercise leadership. www.biquge.info However, in strengthening the administrative system and the authority of the emperor, it is necessary to have strong leadership skills. When there is a crisis, the emperor's actions must be decisive and responsible, and I have just received a report from the imperial court that Li Li, a native of Annam, has rebelled and repeatedly defeated the official army. Li Li asked the imperial court to re-establish the Chen clan as the king of Annam. Several important ministers of the DPRK and China resolutely opposed it, filled with righteous indignation, saying that Annan was a country laid down by the great grandfather himself, and it must not be allowed to lose an inch of land, and repeatedly asked to crusade against Li Li and send troops to Annam. ”

"Shouldn't it be like this? You must know how difficult it was for your imperial grandfather to conquer Annam back then. When there was cholera in Annan, you almost died in Annan. How can you bear to lose that piece of land? ”

Wu Wu also felt a little incredible.

"Sister-in-law, you are wrong, you remember that back then, when I was still the emperor's grandson, when I faced the emperor's grandfather and asked what the real cure for cholera in Annam was, I didn't tell him, in fact, the best cure is to give up Annam."

At this time, the expression on Zhu Zhanji's face became very firm and calm:

"Annan has made many expeditions, but the gains outweigh the losses, and now the country is tired, and the expedition is useless, so after I decided to go back, I agreed to Li Li, canonized Chen Wei as the king of Annam, and boycotted the southern soldiers. At this point, everyone must listen to me. ”

At this time, the domineering expression on Zhu Zhanji's face made Wu Wu see the arbitrary side of an emperor.

"Not only that, but I have a deep concern for just governance. Although I was harsh in dealing with officials who failed in their duties, I rarely imposed the death penalty except for punishing eunuchs. I often presided over many important trials. I have always ordered serious criminal cases to be reopened, and such retrials will surely result in the release of thousands of innocent people during my reign. ”

……

Zhu Zhanji continued to talk eloquently, and Wu Wu seemed to see the scene of countless people who had been wronged and shouted long live to Zhu Zhanji. This night, they chatted until midnight, and Zhu Zhanji returned to the palace to sleep under the repeated urging of Haitao's father-in-law.

Wu Wu was also lying quietly on the small bed in the courtyard of the palace, and Zhu Zhanji's words today kept coming to her mind, and gradually there was a spirit.

No one knew that on this ordinary night in Changping County, Beijing, Wu Wu, under the influence of Zhu Zhanji's words and deeds, initially had the rudiments of a female politician.

This may be the most unexpected good fate sown by Zhu Zhanji during this northern tour.

The carriage roared forward, and the month passed so quickly, and the team of the Northern Tour officially returned to the palace.

When Zhu Zhanji's car finally returned to the palace, Sun Lingwei suddenly lost a lot of weight.

"Queen, you've lost weight."

Zhu Zhanji stroked Sun Lingwei's emaciated cheeks with some guilt.

"Your Majesty. The queen misses the emperor, since the emperor left, she is busy with palace affairs during the day, wanting to exchange a peaceful harem for the emperor, and live up to the emperor's ardent love. But when it comes to the evening, the queen doesn't think about tea and dinner, and can't sleep at night, how can she not lose weight? ”

The loyal Aunt Baguio hurriedly took the opportunity to give advice to the emperor.

This is, Sun Ling saw it clearly, when he heard these bitter scenes told by Baguio at this time, Zhu Zhanji's face did not have a feeling of pity, but a trace of imperceptible boredom.

Sun Lingwei's heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

She froze.

Later, how the emperor joined hands with her and the ministers to toast and give speeches, she was confused, as if in a dream.

However, Zhu Zhanji did not pay much attention to these changes in Sun Lingwei, and on the first night he returned to the palace, the first place he went to was not Kunning Palace, but Cining Palace.

"Queen Mother, I went to inspect the northern countryside this time, and at the same time stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the palace, where I figured out the policies of some countries, and after my son discussed them with you one by one, I will implement them throughout the country."

Zhu Zhanji said excitedly.

"Well, let's hear it, my mother wants to hear about it."

Empress Dowager Zhang said with interest.

"Yes. Mother. ”

Zhu Zhanji respectfully bowed his hand and began to talk eloquently again.

After listening carefully, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but nod and smile:

"Zhan'er. You're now completely on your own. These ways of governing the country of yours are not inferior to those of the previous emperor, and your imperial grandfather, it seems that your father, the emperor, and the imperial grandfather, if they have knowledge under the spring, they should also be satisfied. The queen mother is really pleased, and she doesn't regret her choice to send you to the throne at all costs. ”

"Mother, thank you for your affirmation of your son. Since you're here, I'm thinking about going to pay homage to my grandfather and father. ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly thought of something.

"Okay, well, this palace is also trying to go out for a walk and take a look, the territory and people of my Ming Dynasty."

On the 18th day of the first month of the fourth year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji accompanied his mother to pay homage to the Changling Tomb and offer the tomb.

The people saw that when crossing the river bridge, Zhu Zhanji personally dismounted and personally supported the queen mother's seat.

Seeing the cheering crowds on both sides of the road, Empress Dowager Zhang meaningfully warned her son that the people can love the monarch so much because the monarch can make them live a stable life, so the monarch must pay attention to the safety of the people.

On the way back to Beijing, Empress Dowager Zhang, like Zhu Zhanji, visited the local people, asked them about their living and production conditions, and gave them some money.

The people offered food, water and wine, and the Empress Dowager Zhang handed it to Xuanzong with her own hands, allowing him to taste the real farmhouse flavor.

Politics and harmony, the country and the people, isn't this all Zhu Zhanji's expectations for himself and his expectations for life when he has not yet become emperor?

It seems that everything has been reached.

This kind of life is like an open life, and I am really happy.

The first month has passed, and on the eighth day of the first month of February, 31-year-old Zhu Zhanji came to Wenyuan Pavilion and talked with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Yang Pu, Li Shimian and other Confucian ministers, showing the true colors of a generation of saints.

But at this time, he faintly realized that he didn't seem to be happy.

"I have achieved all the things I wanted, why am I still so unhappy? I successfully sent my sister to the throne of the queen, and I governed my country so well, why do I still feel that there are any regrets in my heart? ”

Zhu Zhanji asked himself again and again.

But he couldn't find the answer.

What was especially strange to him was that after he came back, he became more and more lazy to visit Sun Lingwei in the "Kunning Palace".

originally thought that after a month of separation, it would be Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, but after seeing Sun Lingwei again, I don't know why, he actually had a feeling of respecting and staying away.
