There is a way that everything is difficult at the beginning, and then it will gradually become simpler. It's like the love affair between men and women, at the beginning, because of being reserved, women will always keep a proper distance from men, but once there is a breakthrough and they hold hands, they can let go a lot.

At the same time, there is also a saying that people's desires obviously have a gradual process, and they will not only be satisfied with what they get in front of them. This is like a man and a woman, the man will never be satisfied with just pulling the little hand, he will continue to press, from holding the hand to hugging, and then kissing and then to the last step......

The state shown by Zhu Qiyu, the son of Jingtai today, is not much different from that of ordinary men in love. At the beginning, after the New Year's Day ceremony allowed Zhu Jianji to enter the temple on behalf of the prince, he was still quite excited and proud, but after two days, he was a little dissatisfied with this, and began to think about going further, and even really let his son replace Zhu Jianshen as the prince.

Fortunately, he did not lose his mind because of a small achievement, and forcibly issued an order to abolish the establishment, but only continued to test the reaction of the ministers, such as the idea of giving Zhu Jianji a knight, this is not yet the fifteenth day of the first month, he has issued a decree and named him a prince......

And the reaction of the ministers is similar to that of a woman in love, since the first line of defense has been broken, their opposition is not as fierce as before, even if they know what the purpose of the Son of Heaven is to make this arrangement, they do not react too violently. Only a few officials had objected, but their performances were like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no movement.

Such a result naturally gave the emperor greater confidence and made him more eager to achieve the set goal. But for a while, he didn't know how to start, and after thinking about it, it was still difficult to come to a conclusion, so he announced Lu Jin's entry into the palace again, seeking advice from this courtier he trusted the most.

In fact, Lu Zhen still felt that the emperor was in a bit of a hurry in this matter, after all, the abolition of the crown prince was a major matter of the country, and he couldn't be too anxious to replace him under the premise that Zhu Jianshen had not lost any morality, otherwise it would likely cause a backlash from the ministers.

However, it is difficult for him to say this kind of thing directly as a courtier, because he knows better that the emperor has been looking forward to this day for too long. It's been five or six years since he was on the throne, and the crown prince is not his son yet, so no one will feel at ease. So when he saw the emperor, Lu Jin's heart was also full of hesitation and entanglement.

"The minister knocks to see Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live, long live." Before and after Lu Zhen came to the emperor, he still paid a big salute. When Zhu Qiyu saw it, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lu Qing, hurry up and speak." ”

After he got up, the Son of Heaven said quite happily: "This time, thanks to Lu Qing's idea, my son can have hope, and I will never forget your credit." ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, since the minister eats the king's luck, he should worry about the king, this is just the duty of the minister. What's more, it is His Majesty himself who really accomplishes things, and the ministers dare not take credit. Lu Zhen naturally wanted to be modest.

When the emperor heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face again, and having such a knowledgeable courtier who advanced and retreated clearly did make people feel comfortable. However, the attitude of the expression still has to be said: "Lu Qing is too modest." It's hard to say what you've done now, but when it comes to the day, you'll be the crown prince. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhen was also moved, and hurriedly thanked him again. Although the official position of the crown prince and the prince is not a position with real power, it is very beneficial to the future of officials. As the prince's teacher, it means that you are deeply respected by today's son, and at the same time, after the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, the status of the prince and the prince as the emperor's master in the court will also rise, and it is easy to become the minister.

For Lu Jin, this is more conducive to the continuation of the various changes he advocated, which is an irresistible temptation for any official who has ideals and ambitions and wants to make a career.

Seeing that he was a little excited, the Son of Heaven also laughed. Then, he said solemnly: "But it seems that there are still many twists and turns in this matter now, and I still have to rely on Lu Qing to make a good plan for me." "Yes, this one is also simply, after throwing out a painting cake, he asked Yu Lu Jin.

"This ......" The excitement on Lu Jin's face quickly disappeared, and he frowned and thought for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, if you follow the minister's opinion, this matter is still in a hurry. In fact, as early as last year, the minister had already reminded Yang Butang of the Ministry of Officials, telling him that it was the general trend to set up another prince. He didn't say anything about it. ”

"This Yang Shan, does he still want to obstruct me?" Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly sank.

Lu Jin hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty has thought about it, in the eyes of the minister, this is a sign that he has wavered." If he really had the heart to object, he would have refuted Yu Chen a long time ago. It's just that the matter is big, and he is an official of the Ministry of Rites, so he can't make up his mind for a while. ”

"Is that so?" The emperor's face turned slightly pale: "But what does this mean?" ”

Lu Jinyu hurriedly explained: "In fact, Yang Butang represents the views of the vast majority of people in the court today. In fact, they also understood that the reason why His Majesty wanted to appoint King Yu as the crown prince was just that it was not easy to agree with it because of the rules. ”

"I see, I seem to have understood." Zhu Qiyu nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Zhen took the opportunity to continue to persuade: "So in the minister's opinion, the most important thing for Your Majesty to do now is to do it step by step, rather than rushing to achieve it overnight. If His Majesty is eager to abolish the throne, it will provoke a backlash from the courtiers, and make them think that they will do whatever it takes to keep the crown prince. But if you take your time and let the ministers know the virtue of the king and the nonsense of the prince, things will be much easier. When the water arrives, it becomes natural! ”

Therefore, it is also an exhortation, and people are different. If an official is changed to dissuade the emperor, maybe he will be resistant, and even blame others, but as soon as Lu Jin's words of prevention came out, the emperor nodded after groaning: "Lu Qing, what you said is that I understand, this matter is urgent." ”

"Your Majesty. The minister believes that as long as the ministers know the difference between virtue and stubbornness between the prince and the servant king, and think about my Ming dynasty, the ministers will always be able to make the right choice. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded approvingly. He knew very well that it was too simple for him to want the two to show two diametrically opposed sides. The Imperial Palace Ouchi was originally the emperor's home, and in just one sentence, the prince's unbearable deeds would be spread.

After making up his mind, most of the sorrow between Zhu Qiyu's eyebrows dissipated, and then he moved in his heart and put forward an idea: "Lu Qing, you just mentioned Yang Shan, obviously these old ministers with high prestige have a lot of influence on the officials of the court and the central government in this matter?" ”

"Exactly. Not only Yang Butang, but also the ministers in the cabinet, as well as the six Shangshu, because of their high morality and respect, they have always won the hearts of the people in the court. Their ideas are also very valued by everyone. Lu Jin said a little vaguely.

Some words are still not clear, he can't tell the emperor directly, now the court has already formed a number of party groups with a certain important minister as the core, and all officials will take this as the first step. If he really said that, there would inevitably be chaos in the court again, which was not what he wanted to see.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu didn't dwell on this matter, but asked: "In this case, do you think I can let these courtiers stand on my side and help me give the matter of replacing the prince?" ”

"What does Your Majesty mean by this, the minister is really a little confused......" Lu Zhen was indeed a little confused, and he didn't understand what the other party meant.

"I heard that when the people ask for help, they will take out some money to buy off the other party, why don't I also allocate some silver from the inner treasury to reward Yang Shan and the others, so that they will take my reward, and it will be difficult to oppose me again, right?" As he spoke, the Emperor looked a little more excited on his face, apparently feeling that his idea was quite good.

And Lu Jin...... If it was in the comics at this time, he felt that a row of black lines would appear on his head, and his mind could no longer be described as rancid, it was simply inexplicable, and he was laughing and generous.

What is this? Did the Son of Heaven bribe officials? This is something that has never happened in ancient times!

In the past, only the common people or the officials below took out money to buy the people above to ask for help, and no emperor ever thought of bribing his courtiers with money. Once this thing is really done, I am afraid that not only Zhu Qiyu's request will be categorically rejected by these courtiers, but it will also be rumored to be a joke.

So he hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" If you do, it will only backfire. ”

"Why is that?" The emperor just felt that he had come up with a clever plan, but he was poured cold water on his head, and he was naturally a little unwilling.

"Officials should not be bribe-taking, so how can they encourage this trend? If even Your Majesty has done such a thing, then how can I be a righteous person in the Ming Dynasty, this is one of them. Second, Yang Butang and the cabinet are all clean and self-righteous people, how can they accept bribes? If Your Majesty does this, it will show that our hearts are weak, and they will be rebellious. So this must not be done! ”

Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and finally dispelled this strange thought that suddenly arose: "Since this is the case, then I won't do it too much, just do what you want." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Zhen was relieved to see that he had finally given up this idea.

This time, Lu Zhen did a good thing for Zhu Qiyu, if it weren't for his hindrance, the historical Jingtai Tianzi really did such a thing as bribing the ministers in order to gain the support of the courtiers, and finally passed it on to future generations, which was a joke.

And this time, the matter is revealed, and the emperor has become more patient......
