"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world."

This sentence of Mencius is well known to the world.

As a politician who still has a little conscience in his heart, Zhao Junchen has always comforted himself in this way.

In Zhao Junchen's eyes, although he is powerful and rich, he undoubtedly belongs to the category of "being poor and being alone", after all, no matter how blessed Zhao Junchen is, he can't even control his own fate and choices - in this regard, Zhao Junchen is not even as good as ordinary people.

Therefore, under the self-comfort of this sentence, Zhao Junchen can only give some help within his ability on the premise of not harming his own interests.

Zhao Junchen understands that these helpers are already his current limit, and if the intensity is greater, it may endanger himself under the sideways eyesight.

However, is this really the case?

Looking at the back of Xu Wenqing's departure, Zhao Junchen's heart was still uneasy after all.

Knowing what it would mean and how terrible the consequences would be if there was a mistake in the trilateral defense, he didn't try his best to change it, which filled Zhao Junchen's heart with a sense of guilt that could not be dissipated for a long time.

The hidden dangers of the military towns on the three sides are so many and so great that they are shocking, and they are only minor repairs. Can it really resist the Mongol cavalry? In previous years, although he barely resisted, Zhao Junchen often used this to comfort himself. But what if something happens this year? At this time, how can you report the luck mentality?

If the border is broken. What is the significance of Zhao Junchen's many plans and calculations now?

Could it be that at that time, Zhao Junchen still used this sentence to comfort himself, and then changed from a big traitor and a big corrupt official to a big slave and a big traitor?

has already decided something, but now that it has really been done, Zhao Junchen began to feel apprehensive in his heart.

……

When Xu Qingyan sent Xu Wenqing away and returned to the study. Seeing Zhao Junchen's face gloomy and uncertain, with a little contradiction and hesitation.

This kind of expression, Xu Qingyan has not seen it on Zhao Junchen's face for a long time.

However, today's Xu Qingyan, under Zhao Junchen's deliberate experience, has finally grown a little, seeing Zhao Junchen like this, not only did he not ask as impatiently as before, but stood aside silently. didn't say a word, didn't bother at all, just let Zhao Junchen think quietly alone.

After a long time, Zhao Junchen finally made up his mind.

"Keihiko. You secretly organize a caravan, and after the southern tour, send them to the Mongolian steppe. Zhao Junchen instructed: "Take the opportunity to find out the reality and the relationship between the Mongolian tribes, and investigate in detail the harvest of forage, grain, cattle and horses of the Mongolian tribes this year." If there are any natural or man-made disasters over there this year, resulting in poor harvests and losses. Inform me immediately. ”

Today, it's still late spring. The invasion of the grassland peoples has always been after the autumn harvest.

This gave Zhao Junchen a buffer time to wait and see, and also gave Zhao Junchen enough time to explore and prepare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, the situation became more and more stable.

Seeing that the southern tour is about to begin, Emperor Deqing is now full of interest and expectations, and the officials are also very interested, no one will destroy Emperor Deqing's Yaxing at this time, otherwise they will only ask for hardship.

Therefore, in the early dynasty of this day, all the officials were presented, as if the world was peaceful, and Emperor Deqing was only discussing the matter of the southern tour with the ministers.

However, among the crowd, the crown prince Zhu and Yu kept frowning, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the early dynasty.

For no other reason, yesterday all night, in the prince's mansion, there were constantly princeling officials who asked to see the prince Zhu Heyu, and advised Zhu Heyu to withdraw his order and not to reform the commercial tax for the time being, otherwise what would happen......

Between such exhortations, everyone has a big reason and a conclusive statement, although all of them were rejected by the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but at this time, in retrospect, Zhu Heyu's mood was still a little boring.

After the early dynasty, seeing that some princeling officials were still ready to go, as if they wanted to persuade themselves, the prince Zhu and Yu simply ignored them and did not stay in the palace, but returned directly to the prince's mansion.

In fact, the return of Prince Zhu and Yu to the Prince's Mansion was not just to avoid those princeling officials who had different opinions, he did have something to deal with.

After the experience in recent days, although it has suffered repeated setbacks, the prince Zhu Heyu still has some practical ability after all, and even understands the truth of "to do things, investigate first", so before this morning, he has sent someone to the household department to ask for some relevant account books, ready to take advantage of the past few days to understand the specific situation of the Ming Dynasty's commercial tax.

……

However, before Zhu Heyu had time to look through it, he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Lu Chunxiao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, had asked to see him.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the base camp and concentration of princeling officials, and Lu Chunxiao has helped Zhu Heyu manage the Metropolitan Procuratorate over the years, doing his best and working hard, and he is Zhu Heyu's right-hand man, and has always been valued by Zhu Heyu.

Now, I heard that it was Lu Chunxiao who asked to see him, and Zhu Heyu naturally wouldn't see him, so he hurriedly asked Lu Chunxiao to come into the study to talk.

However, when Lu Chunxiao entered the study, before he could speak, Zhu Heyu was the first to speak: "Lord Lu, you won't also come to persuade me to change my mind and stop reforming commercial taxes, right?" If so, there is no need to speak, I have made up my mind. I will never change my mind. ”

There was a lot of excitement in the prince's mansion last night, and Lu Chunxiao had also heard about it. After sighing, he said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." Regardless of whether others have changed their minds or not, but the lower official still supports you, the lower official asked to see this time, not to ask you to take back your life, but to introduce a great talent to the crown prince, although this person is still young and has shallow qualifications, but his talent and mind are far superior to the lower officials several times, and the lower officials also believe that if you have this person to assist you, the prince. The next commercial tax reform will inevitably achieve twice the result with half the effort and reduce many unnecessary troubles. ”

Hearing Lu Chunxiao say this, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were a little relieved, and then they were very interested in what Lu Chunxiao said, and asked, "Oh? Who is it? Is it so admired by Lord Lu? ”

"It is Zhao Shancai, the former prince and master He Minghe's old predecessors, the second place in the undergraduate palace examination, and the genius of Jiangnan!" Lu Chunxiao replied solemnly.

"Zhao Shancai? Is that the same Zhao Shancai who reminded me not to implicate the case too widely during my departure from Beijing to try the 'Southern Tour Preparation for Fraud Case'? Prince Zhu Heyu's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "This person is indeed talented, but I didn't listen to his advice at the beginning." Therefore, my father was also quite dissatisfied with the result of my case, thinking that I did not know the importance and the general situation, and almost caused a big disaster, and finally reprimanded me......"

However. Having said that, the strange thing is that between the expressions of Prince Zhu and Yu. I didn't see any regret, but after a pause. He added: "It's rare for me to be so stubborn, but he still wants to work for me." It seems that this Zhao Shancai is not only talented, but also an honest and loyal person, which is really rare, just with these, this person is enough to rely on, not to mention that he is also a disciple of Old Master He, and you are so respected! Well, please let him in. ”

With the orders of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, it didn't take long for Zhao Shan to be led to the study.

After entering the study, although facing the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai did not see any cramped and uneasy, but after saluting, he raised his head and looked at the prince Zhu and Yu in front of him, as if he wanted to see what kind of person the prince was.

In the face of such a somewhat rude move, the crown prince Zhu Heyu was not angry, but also looked at Zhao Shancai, seeing that Zhao Shancai had an extraordinary temperament, he also nodded again and again with appreciation, and said with a smile: "You are Zhao Shancai?" I've heard of you a long time ago, the palace test of this department, the champion should have been in your bag, but unfortunately Zhou Suwen is Zhou Shangjing's grandson, and Zhou Shangjing is not only extremely powerful, but also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, even his father and emperor want to give him some affection, but in the end he wronged you......"

Speaking of this, the crown prince Zhu Heyu shook his head and sighed, and then said: "Also, I remember that when I left Beijing to try the 'Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case', you reminded me of many things, and it turned out that your views were correct, but I didn't adopt your advice in the end, I hope you don't blame me." ”

Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Heyu said this, Zhao Shancai couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, Zhao Shancai thought that the prince Zhu Heyu was a stubborn and stubborn person, and he had already prepared in his heart, but at this time, whether it was his words and feelings, or his words and deeds, it proved that the prince Zhu Heyu was not as stubborn as he imagined, not only did he not blame Zhao Shancai for his rudeness, but he simply admitted his mistakes, and even took the initiative to apologize to Zhao Shancai!

This should never be the behavior of a stubborn person!

After Zhao Shancai glanced at the crown prince Zhu Heyu again, his eyes moved, and he suddenly asked: "Your Royal Highness the prince, forgive the student for taking the liberty of asking, if you can do it all over again, will you change your mind and listen to the student's advice during the trial of the 'Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case'?" ”

After Zhu Heyu was silent for a moment, he finally replied: "I'm afraid not, I will still arrest every corrupt official involved in the case, and never let any of them escape the law!" In this world, time has passed, the situation has changed, the country has changed hands, and the dynasty has changed, everything can be said to change, but there is one truth that will not change, that is, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials will bring disaster to the country and the people! For the people and the court, the fewer corrupt officials, the better, so how can I let them go!? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shancai frowned and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you feel that you are too eager to do things?" Many things, you are now doing as a prince, it is half the effort, many obstacles, when you ascend the throne in the future, it is twice the result with half the effort, it is a matter of course, I know you can't tolerate sand in your eyes, but some thankless things why do it now? I'll do it again in the future. Isn't it the same? Tolerance for the time being is the belly that the emperor should have! ”

Such a straightforward accusation. If it were a different person, I was afraid that I would be furious on the spot. Zhao Shancai also knew this, but he still did it, but he was testing Zhu Heyu's heart and bottom line.

However, Zhu Heyu was still not angry, but just asked: "Zhao Shancai, do you know that I am the first son of my father?" ”

Zhao Shancai was slightly stunned and replied, "As far as the student knows, you are the fifth son of His Majesty today. ”

Zhu Heyu asked again, "Yes." I am only the fifth son of my father, and there are four brothers in front of me, and this crown prince is not my turn to sit, but do you know why I became the prince in the end? ”

Zhao Shancai groaned and replied: "As far as the students know, the eldest prince of His Majesty was made the crown prince after he was born. But he died years ago; After the second prince succeeded as the crown prince, he was deposed not long after because of 'immorality', and now he is imprisoned in Fengyang, the central capital, and the third prince died young. The fourth prince also died of illness after becoming the crown prince, so you became the crown prince. ”

Zhu Heyu nodded and said, "Yes." If it weren't for so many accidents, I wouldn't have been able to do this position as a prince. But because of this, I thought I would only be an idle prince since I was a child. I haven't learned the Imperial Mind Technique, and in fact, even now, I don't want to learn it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Heyu's eyes stayed on Zhao Shancai's face, and said: "Since I was six years old, I have followed Xiao Taishi to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, moral articles, according to my father's words, Xiao Taishi He taught me stupidly, although I don't think so, but after becoming the prince, I still followed your master He Lao Taishi for a period of time, he taught me the art of the emperor, at that time I asked Mrs. He, what is the art of the emperor?" Mrs. He said, the so-called art of the emperor is the art of checks and balances, the art of compromise and tolerance, and the art of speculating on people's hearts, Zhao Shancai, you are the closed disciple of Mrs. He, do you think Mrs. He's summary is accurate? ”

Zhao Shancai nodded and said, "Master He's summary is naturally correct. ”

The crown prince Zhu Heyu said: "However, because of Old Master He's words, I didn't study the emperor's mind with my heart anymore. ”

Zhao Shancai was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

The crown prince Zhu and Yu sighed: "Because, I have seen the changes of the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother after they learned the emperor's mind technique!" Originally, they studied with Master Xiao like me, and their temperament was similar to mine, but after learning the emperor's life, they all changed greatly in a short period of time, becoming suspicious and indifferent, and also lost their original principles, in their eyes, those corrupt officials and traitors are also tolerable, and even must save zài ......"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhu Heyu said again: "I don't think this kind of change is a good thing, and I'm afraid that I will become like them, and gradually develop a habit of tolerance and compromise and regard it as natural, and at that time, I will no longer be me, even if I become an emperor and blindly indulge in the emperor's mental tricks, I am afraid that I will not be a good emperor." So I didn't study again, but my seventh brother studied for a while because of curiosity, but Old Master He was unwilling to teach him because he was not the prince......

In the end, it is estimated that Mrs. He also thinks I am stubborn, and it didn't take long for me to resign as the crown prince and master, which makes me feel quite ashamed of him, and now I see that you are still willing to assist me, obviously Mrs. He doesn't blame me, so I'm very happy......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Heyu was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "After seeing you, I always unconsciously think of Mrs. He, but I took the topic away......

Actually, I know what you said, but if you have experienced the change of the crown prince like me, you should understand that anything, as long as you think it is right, then the best time to do this is now, because the world is impermanent, no one knows what the future will be, although I am the prince, but the same is true!

Maybe there are some things that you think you should endure for a while, but you don't know how to endure them, and you have taken forbearance as a habit and no longer have the courage you had at the beginning, or you have endured for a long time, and you find that you no longer have the ability to do it.

Like my royal brothers, they are all like this, why didn't they have great ambitions in the first place? But between forbearance, or passed away unexpectedly, or gradually lost their courage, and gradually degenerated, the original ambition, but because there was no action, they have become a cloud of the past, and future generations will not remember them at all......

Mencius once said that if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world, but I think that if you really have the heart to be good to the world, why should you care about being poor? There are big and small powers, and there is always something that can be done. What's more, what is poverty? And what is Da? Now that I'm the crown prince, am I still Da? If only when you become an emperor can you dare to do those right things, then shouldn't everyone in the world be alone? No one is doing anything? So who else administers justice in this Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, there are some things, there is no good or bad timing, the so-called forbearance, the so-called timing, are just to find reasons for themselves not to act, of course, I have many things that I am eager to do, and it seems that the result is not good, but if I don't act, how do I know that the result is good? I'm afraid it may not be! Even if you get half the result, as long as there is any good result, no matter how big or small, why bother with how much you pay? ”

Hearing the remarks of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai was silent.

Although Zhao Shancai's eloquence is quite good, he can talk about Confucianism, but he doesn't know how to refute it at this time.

Originally, Zhao Shancai only thought that the prince Zhu and Yu were stubborn for their own use, although it was troublesome, but Zhao Shancai finally had a way, and the people who were stubborn and self-serving just felt that their concepts and methods would not go wrong, as long as they were truly aware of their mistakes, they would still change after all.

And the crown prince Zhu and Yu knew that their method was wrong, but he still insisted!

Because, he thinks that his wrong method may bring trouble, but it will also bring good results!

Because, he has values that an emperor should not have!

As a result, Zhao Shan found that the matter of assisting the prince was even more troublesome than he imagined.

However, for some reason, after listening to the words of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai did not retreat, and did not feel any regrets about assisting the prince Zhu and Yu.

It's just that I don't know what Zhao Junchen will feel after hearing these words.

In fact, the news of Zhao Shancai's meeting with the crown prince Zhu and Yu was quickly obtained by Zhao Junchen.

Although Zhao Junchen didn't know what Zhao Shancai and the crown prince Zhu Heyu said, in order to prevent Zhao Shancai from assisting the prince in reforming commercial taxes, Zhao Junchen quickly responded!
