Wen Anzhi's attitude is very resolute, and Zhu Youlang's attitude is also very tough.

For the first time, the two had a disagreement over one thing.

And this matter is related to the country's capital and the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Anzhi felt that the education of the prince should be based on guidance and encouragement.

Zhu Youlang felt that he couldn't soak the prince in a honey pot, and proper beating could make the prince grow better.

It's like one thing, two very different feelings from two angles.

It may not be right or wrong, it's just a different way of understanding it.

"Elder Wenge, this is my family matter..."

"Your Majesty, there is no family in the heavenly family!"

Zhu Youlang was choked speechless, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Wen Anzhi said.

It's really scary for this old man to be stubborn.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Youlang sighed: "The prince's qualifications are not bad, but if he is allowed to develop, the result may not be as Wenge Lao thought." ”

"The old minister only hopes that Your Majesty will not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Sejong and Emperor Shenzong..."

Zhu Youlang smiled bitterly.

Only Wen Anzhi dared to say this.

Sejong is also Emperor Jiajing, and Shenzong is Emperor Wanli.

At that time, Emperor Jiajing was extremely indifferent to his heirs because he believed in the saying that the Taoist priests and the two dragons did not see each other.

The third son of the emperor, King Yu, can't see his father a few times a year, not to mention the position of the crown prince, that is, the official silver that the vassal king should have was deducted by Yan Song's father and son.

There is no one who is so miserable.

Later, Emperor Jiajing died, and King Yu succeeded to the throne as the eldest son.

As soon as his father died, he chose a Longqing era name, which is self-explanatory.

This is really disgusted by Emperor Jiajing, and he took the opportunity to choose the era name to vent fiercely.

But maybe it was suppressed for too long, after Emperor Longqing took the throne, he vented wildly, and he died after only six years as an emperor, and then the young emperor Wanli ascended the throne.

Emperor Wanli also inherited his grandfather's mean and unkind character, ignoring his eldest son Zhu Changluo, and even delaying the time for his eldest son to go out of the pavilion to study.

The ministers admonished him about this matter, and he simply did not go to court in a fit of rage.

It's no different from being so headstrong and a child.

Like his grandfather Jiajing, Wanli has also been an emperor for a long, long time.

When Wanli finally swallowed his breath, the crown prince Zhu Changluo took the throne.

Like Long Qing, Zhu Changluo, who has been suppressed for a long time, vented wildly.

It's just that his physique seems to be inferior to Emperor Longqing, and he died violently after indulging in women for more than a month, known as the January Emperor.

It is no coincidence that the two emperors were short and the two were short-lived, probably because their father was too strong as an emperor for too long.

They suppressed themselves for too long, and suddenly became crazy vents under the ecstasy of the Supreme, emptying their bodies and whimpering.

Wen Anzhi hoped that Zhu Youlang would not be too harsh on the crown prince like Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli, which caused a tragedy back then.

This is something that others really won't say.

Wen Anzhi really put life and death out of the way.

"Don't worry, Elder Wenge, I am measured."

Zhu Youlang said in a deep voice: "The crown prince is my only son, this should be clear to the elder Wenge. ”

Zhu Youlang has many heirs, but the lost ones died early.

In this case, Zhu Cixuan is the only heir to the throne.

Zhu Youlang is to beat Zhu Cixuan again, and Zhu Cixuan will have to inherit the throne in the future, which is very different from the situation of Jiajing and Wanli.

Jiajing still has King Jing to choose from, and Wanli wants to pass the throne to King Fu.

Hearing this, Wen Anzhi was indeed a lot more relieved.

It is true that His Majesty the Emperor currently has only one heir, the crown prince.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is in his prime, and he may have another heir, it will take more than ten years for the new prince to grow up, and the position of the crown prince should be stable at that time, right?

As the prince's teacher, Wen Anzhi naturally wants to think about the prince, but he is actually more for the sake of the future of Daming.

Now His Majesty the Emperor is in his thirties, and the Crown Prince is in his teens.

The age structure of the emperor and the crown prince is very reasonable.

The future transfer of imperial power should be smooth.

And if His Majesty the Emperor gives birth to a prince now, there will inevitably be turmoil in the future when the imperial power is handed over.

And Da Ming can't stand the toss.

"Since Your Majesty is arbitrary, the old minister will not say much."

Wen Anzhi was very satisfied with this statement of the Son of Heaven.

Naturally, there was no need for him to continue fighting.

"Your Majesty, there is another matter for the old minister to come here."

Wen Anzhi paused.

"Oh?"

Zhu Youlang was taken aback.

He also thought that Wen Anzhi entered the palace this time specifically for the prince.

"What else is going on with Wen Ge Lao? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Wen Anzhi pondered for a long time, and then said suddenly: "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to beg the old man to resign." ”

"What? Wen Ge old man wants to resign? ”

Zhu You's hammer shook like a rattle, and he didn't intend to agree at all.

"I'm not sure."

In fact, Zhu Youlang can probably understand why Wen Anzhi has this idea.

First, Wen Anzhi is indeed old, and there is nothing wrong with people in their seventies retiring.

Second, the recent situation of Daming is very good, and he has won Huguang and Jiangxi one after another, and he can see that Nanzhili can also recover.

In this case, it is also reasonable for An Zhi to want to return to his hometown Yiling for retirement.

But reasonable is reasonable, Zhu Youlang just doesn't agree!

"The Ming Dynasty has not yet flourished, is the old Wenge going to abandon me?"

"If Your Majesty's old minister occupies the position of the first assistant, how can the young man have a chance. It is better for the old minister to take the initiative to retreat, so that His Majesty can cultivate young people. ”

This sounds a little true, but when you think about it, it's wrong.

Wen Anzhi wants to give way to young people, but young people can't watch it at all.

Aside from Zhang Huangyan, the last batch of talents cultivated by the Chongzhen Dynasty, the imperial court has been turbulent and displaced in the past ten years, and sometimes it is too late to even hold the imperial examination, so what is there to talk about gathering talents.

Wen Anzhi wants to give way, and someone has to come up.

In case Wen'an retreats and catches up with Qinghuang, then Zhu Youlang can't cry to death?

After all, now is not the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli periods.

At that time, there were many famous ministers, and they grabbed a lot of them.

Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng...

A group of cattle people are fighting for the position of the first assistant, and you will sing and I will appear.

At that time, it was okay to retire one or two cattle people, and the emperor could continue to be the shopkeeper happily.

But now it's completely different.

Zhu Youlang finally hugged Wen Anzhi's thick leg, how could he let go easily.

No matter how you say it, you have to wait until Zhang Huangyan and others replace Wen Anzhi to take charge of the overall situation.

More than seventy?

Seventy is not old, you can do it until eighty.

At least Wen Anzhi looks well-maintained now, and his spirit is very good, not like a person in his seventies at all.

The emperor played a scoundrel, which made Wen Anzhi a little crying and laughing.

Generally speaking, at such times, the courtiers can only give up.

If the emperor doesn't approve it, can you still come hard?

Wen Anzhi saw that Zhu Youlang's attitude was very resolute, so he sighed and said: "Three years, the old minister will work for another three years at most." ”

Zhu Youlang thought that he could get through the trick, but who would have thought that Wen Anzhi would actually talk to him about the conditions.

This old man is a thief.

"Three years is too short, at least five years."

Zhu Youlang said with a bitter face.

At this time, Zhu Youlang no longer expects Wen Anzhi to be able to work until eighty, but it should be no problem to work for five years, right?

The two of you and the two of you say a word in the main hall, just like bargaining for vegetables in the vegetable market.

If others heard it, wouldn't they laugh off their big teeth?

In the end, Wen Anzhi succumbed.

After that, the old minister promised His Majesty to work for another five years. Five years later, I'm going to beg for bones anyway. ”

This should be the most difficult money Wen Anzhi has earned in his life, but he is indeed a little reluctant to Daming.

was persuaded by the emperor like this, and chose to give both sides a chance.
