Qian Yiai listened to the prince laughing at himself, and asked with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you won't come today just to make fun of your subordinates, right?" ”

Zhu Hai heard Qian Yiai ask, sighed and said, "Zigao, there is something today for you to analyze!" ”

Zhu Hai immediately told Qian Yiai about the afternoon's events, and after finishing speaking, he asked: "Zigao, this palace is also very puzzled, why is my father and emperor so behaving today." You must know that my father used to discipline the palace a lot, but he has never had this demeanor today, what is it like? Lose.. Right! It's lost! Could it be that there is something in the palace that does not agree with the emperor? ”

Although Qian Yiai is unsatisfactory as an official, he is good at resourcefulness, and he has a lot of contact with Zhu Hongsan, so he still has a bit of a hot grasp of the emperor's heart!

"Your Highness, what you said is very right, the emperor is disappointed with you!"

Zhu Hai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is this so?" Hongu feels that the answer is very correct! My father had already announced to the world at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and now he has rebelled, hasn't he lost the hearts of the people? ”

"Your Highness, you are wrong, the emperor's loss is not because of the right or wrong of the court staff, but because you are not on the same side as him! You must know that you are the crown prince, the prince, and the future emperor, but you stand up against the emperor at this time, which really hurts the emperor's heart! ”

Zhu Hai was covered in a cold sweat when he heard this, his crown prince position came from the emperor, and now his younger brothers were eyeing him around, if he was making some mistakes to annoy his father, it would be a big disaster.

"Zigao, you quickly teach the palace, how can you make up for it!"

"Your Highness, the sheep is dead, what is the use of this prison not being repaired? But rest assured, Your Highness is far from the point of making amends, and now the emperor is just a little disappointed in you, and he doesn't plan to change the prince, after all, His Royal Highness the prince was born in the middle palace, and there is the queen's Yu Yin wing protection inside, and the assistance of Yuanfu outside, as long as you don't commit major problems in principle, the emperor can't depose you! ”

Zhu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qian Yiai's analysis, and said, "Zigao, then you teach me, how can you make my father happy?" Do you have to go along with your father in everything? ”

"Your Royal Highness, His Majesty the Emperor is now in the prime of spring and autumn, it is estimated that you, the crown prince, will be in office for decades, and it is really not a way to blindly pretend to be like this!"

Zhu Hai was right to hear Qian Yiai say this, his father is only thirty-three years old now, and it is estimated that he can live for twenty years at the most, and sooner or later he will be exposed if he pretends to be like this.

Qian Yiai thought for a while and then said: "Your Highness, there have only been two endings for the crown prince throughout the ages, being deposed and ascending the throne. Most of the princes who are behind each other in front of the emperor do not end well, it is better to learn from the crown prince of Emperor Gao, Zhu Biao! ”

Zhu Hai heard Qian Yiai say this, so he was so angry, this is called a good way? Zhu Biao opposed Zhu Yuanzhang back then, was repeatedly scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally was scared to death, which is not a good example to learn.

"Zigao, what kind of damage are you paying attention to, do you want this palace to be scared to death like Emperor Xiaokang?" Zhu Biao died of illness in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and was buried in the east of Xiaoling in August, that is, the eastern tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and was called "Yiwen". In the first year of Jianwen, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Xiaokang, and the temple name was Xingzong. Yan King Zhu Di was called the emperor after the battle of Jingjing, and the crown prince of Yiwen was reinstated, and in the first year of Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yousong of Ming Anzong was renamed Emperor Xiaokang. Zhu Hongsan recognized the legitimacy of Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, so he called Zhu Biao Emperor Xiaokang.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you just saw the ending of Prince Zhu Biao, didn't Your Highness see that Zhu Biao's situation is very similar to you, the Prince?"

Qian Yiai saw that Zhu Hai could hear it, and then said: "Emperor Taizu Gao started from scratch and laid down a piece of the country, isn't this very similar to His Majesty today?" and Emperor Taizu Gao, who played the world back then, was not informal, is it the same as His Majesty today? However, the successor chosen by Emperor Taizu Gao was very different from himself. Prince Zhu Biao was a benevolent man by nature and very friendly to his brothers, and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and Zhu Li, the king of Jin, had made many mistakes, and Zhu Biao interceded from them to avoid punishment, and his prestige among the kings was quite high. At the same time, Prince Zhu Biao is gentle and elegant, he was born in peace, but he has no habits of gentleness, loyalty, can be taught wholeheartedly, and is very respectful to the minister's teacher. After Emperor Taizu Gao established himself as Queen Wu, he set up the ten-year-old Zhu Biao as his son, until Zhu Biao died of illness, and in his twenty-seven years of succession, Taizu never thought of replacing him. Doesn't this show that Prince Zhu Biao is very clever? This is where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to learn! ”

Zhu Hai blushed a little when Qian Yiai said this, and he knew very well what his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was like.

Back then, Zhu Chongba had to eat and become a monk, and his background was lower than the current Zhu Hongsan, Zhu Hongsan could still have a home, at least there was no problem with food and clothing, Zhu Chongba completely ate the last meal and did not eat the next meal. Zhu Chongba, who was born in this way, can imagine that he is irritable, irritable, and moody. But such a cruel and murderous emperor chose a gentle gentleman as his successor, which is somewhat interesting.

Qian Yiai saw that Zhu Hai listened to it, and then said: "Your Highness, Emperor Taizu Gao knew that governing the country could not be killed like this, and finally he had to return to the road of Wenchen ruling the world, so he chose a successor who was completely different from himself, and it was left for the future to be good at managing the mess left by himself." This can be seen from the arrangements after the death of Prince Zhu Biao, Taizu did not set up Zhu Di, who was most similar to him, as the prince in order, but set up Zhu Yunwen, who was very similar to Zhu Biao, to succeed him. Even Zhu Di is the same, after Chengzu's death, he did not set up Zhu Gaochi, but set up Zhu Gaochi, whom he disliked very much, which is precisely for this reason. ”

Zhu Hai frowned and said, "That's exactly what this palace does!" Isn't this plea for the minister a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness! ”

"Wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong! Your words of buying people's hearts are too much, what you have to do is to take the emperor as the center, only fight for right and wrong, only for things and not for people, so that the emperor can rest assured! ”

Zhu Hai nodded slowly and asked: "This palace knows, does Mr. Qian mean that I shouldn't speak for Fang Fengnian in the afternoon, but enforce the law impartially, Fang Fengnian is not right to beat Shangguan, he should be punished, but it is not right to use the court staff, Fang Fengnian should be handed over to the Three Law Divisions to punish the crime according to the Ming Law!" ”

Hearing Zhu Hai figure it out, Qian Yiai said happily: "Yes! Right! As long as His Royal Highness does things with his heart and is a good son and brother at the same time, he will definitely be favored by the emperor at that time! ”

Qian Yiai is worthy of being an extremely smart person, and what he taught Zhu Hai is also a first-class good method, but he is limited by the times, and he still doesn't see why Zhu Hongsan doesn't like Zhu Hai. Of course, there are reasons for Zhu Hai* to speak for the literati, but the fundamental reason is the conflict between the monarchy and the relative power, Zhu Hongsan does not want his successor to be held hostage by the Wenchen like the more than a dozen emperors of the former Ming Dynasty, and only by obeying the words of the Wenchen can he become a generation of saints, such as Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Youjiao, and the rest of the disobedient are faint monarchs, such as Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Hai was satisfied after coming out of Qian Yiai's Shangyuan County Ya, and through Qian Yiai's explanation, Zhu Hai finally had a systematic understanding of the prospect in his heart.

Zhu Hai went out of the door and got into the carriage, and as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he saw Li Gan, the steward and eunuch of the East Palace, waiting at the door.

Since Li Gan and Qian Yiai had a conversation that was neither yin nor yang, he also knew that he was the only one who was unlucky with Zhu Hai, so he had repaired his relationship with Zhu Hai a few months ago, coupled with Zhu Hai's deliberate friendship, and now Li Gan has completely become Zhu Hai's confidant.

Li Gan saw that Zhu Hai had finally returned, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My master, you are finally back, the emperor's decree has been transmitted from the palace, let the young master go and see him quickly!" ”

Zhu Hai heard that his father wanted to see him, and his heart trembled, didn't he just come out of his father? Could it be that Daddy already knows that he is conspiring with Qian Yiai?

Zhu Hai was apprehensive, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly entered the palace to change into the prince's gown, and came to the Wenhua Hall to meet his father under the leadership of the little eunuch.

Zhu Hongsan saw his son coming in a hurry, and asked with a smile: "Prince, why did it take so long to come, what did you do just now?" ”

Zhu Hai was about to make up a reason, but suddenly remembered what Qian Yiai said, and his father had a lot of eyes and ears in his heart, and he would definitely not be able to hide it from him when he went to see Qian Yiai, so he didn't tell the truth.

Zhu Hai kowtowed, and didn't make up any reason, and said directly: "Back to my father, my son went to Shangyuan County just now, and I went to talk to Qian Yiai!" ”

Zhu Hong didn't raise his head, his eyes were still looking at the folds on the bookcase, and asked casually, "Oh? It's time to meet that guy! What did you all say? ”

Zhu Hai heard his father ask, gritted his teeth in his heart, bowed down and said: "Father, in the afternoon, Erchen was reprimanded by his father, and he felt very aggrieved in his heart, so he went to Qian Zigao to explain!" ”

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Zhu Hai to tell the truth, raised his head and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Zhu Hai knelt in front of Zhu Hongsan with a grunt, kowtowed and said: "Father, the son reprimanded the son, saying that although the son is the prince, he is the son of the father, and the son does not speak for his father at the critical moment, which is really unfilial!" ”

After Zhu Hai finished speaking, he looked up at Zhu Hongsan, and found that Zhu Hongsan had no expression, so he quickly lowered his head and continued: "Father, Erchen feels that Fang Fengnian has violated the law first, and he should be punished, but he should not let his father risk the world's disapproval for the sake of a four-grade petty official, and Erchen feels that it is good to directly hand over Fang Fengnian to the Three Law Divisions to deal with!" ”

After Zhu Hai finished speaking, he didn't know if what he said today was right, and he didn't dare to raise his head and get up, so he could only kneel on the ground and wait for it to fall.

Zhu Hongsan looked at this son, closed the fold in his hand, and said: "Get up, you don't make friends with this friend in vain, you don't love this friend in vain, and learn more from him in the future!" ”

Zhu Hai didn't say anything when he heard his father, and he was overjoyed, it seemed that Qian Yiai's teaching still had some effect.
