Chapter 141: The Monarch and the Ministers Respond

In the eyes of later generations, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde of Ming Wuzong was greedy for cups, good "lust", reckless in military force, and absurd in his behavior, which is simply a typical representative of a foolish egg and a faint monarch.

Sun Dan also thought so at the beginning, but with his in-depth understanding of history and close contact, the first-hand information at hand became more and more correct, and he also had a new understanding of this so-called faint king.

If Emperor Zhengde is really as unbearable as recorded in history, he is a figure like Emperor Jin Hui. So, why did the Ming Dynasty enter the heyday during his tenure, not only the sea was rich, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the border troubles that had been pressed on the head of the Ming Dynasty for a long time were also miraculously lifted. Even though there was a "chaos" in Huanhui the year before last, before the imperial court could quell the "chaos" army and set off for Jiangnan, King Ning's rebels were nipped in the bud by a small Wang Shouren with thunderous means.

And counting the life of Emperor Zhengde, it can be described as colorful and unyielding. Since the succession to the throne, the commander of the bullet command Liu Jin, the king of peace, the "chaos" of King Ning, and the defeat of the little prince in Yingzhou, if such a monarch is also called stupid, Sun Danzhen does not know who else in history can be called Mingjun.

As far as Sun Dan knew, Emperor Zhengde would be the first in every battle, and when the Mongol army was fighting, he even killed an enemy with his own hands.

Perhaps, in the eyes of future generations, a big battle of tens of thousands of people, killing an enemy is not a big deal. However, later generations have always overlooked one point, even if the cold weapon war, even if it is a general battle of tens of thousands of people, there are not many soldiers who die in the confrontation between the two armies. For example, in the later Ningyuan victory, the Ming army only beheaded hundreds of levels, and most of the real casualties occurred in the pursuit process when one side was defeated.

Moreover, in ancient wars, soldiers wore heavy armor, and everyone dressed like robots, only "exposed" a pair of eyes outside. It was often a fight for half a day, and the beating was covered in injuries, but few people really fell.

At least, as far as Sun Dan is concerned, even if he is asked to carry a knife to cut an enemy who is wearing sixty pounds of heavy armor and standing still, he does not have the confidence to completely **** the enemy within half an hour.

Cold weapon warfare is not as simple as in the historical drama of V.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for Zhengde to kill an enemy with his own hands on the battlefield.

In Sun Dan's view, the young man in front of him who only had half a life left was not only a promising king, but also a battle-hardened battlefield general who was full of murderous energy. Even if such a person doesn't do anything, he naturally has a fierce aura on his body.

At this time, listening to Zhengde's question, Sun Dan's heart tightened inexplicably, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in the aura emanating from his body.

Perhaps, one of the inappropriate responses today is the end of the head falling to the ground.

Emperor Zhengde has a strong "sex", but he is very peaceful, not like a generation of emperors, he should be a very good person. During this time, Sun Dan and him got along well, although friendship was not necessary for a king, but in their hearts, the two still regarded each other as confidants.

However, Zhengde's illness is related to the throne. Since ancient times, kings have attached great importance to imperial power, and they are afraid that if Zhengde does not die for a day, they will never be happy to see someone covet their throne. There is nothing to say about this thing, and once it is discovered, it must be eradicated immediately.

Sun Dan had to answer this question in a short time, and he knew how powerful it was, so he didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "No." ”

The essence in Emperor Zhengde's eyes was even brighter, as bright as a knife. His voice was still weak, but his words were clear, "Really? ”

Sun Dan suddenly remembered what Bi Yuntong said to himself just now, "That is, just now the general also said, 'In this world, only Sun Dan can tell a few words of truth in front of me. ’”

I already have an idea in my mind.

Then he said, "However, it can't be said that it doesn't matter at all. ”

"Speak!" Probably because he was pushing too hard, Zhengde's chest rose and fell, and he coughed violently.

Strange to say, although he coughed hoarsely and his face was flushed, no one came in.

Sun Dan was not afraid, straightened up and stood in front of Zhengde, got acquainted with Lu Bing, and then helped him take care of the ins and outs of the Lu family's money village one by one, and said: "Speaking of which, Lu Bing also thought about asking me to be the big treasurer of his money bank, but it's a pity that Sun Danzhi is in the imperial examination, but he doesn't have the heart to do business." That is, to come up with an idea for him to make money. He pretended to sigh: "General, speaking of this, it is also Sun Dan's scholarly anger, and he talked a lot for a while, and he leaked his mouth, so that the Lu family got a good idea to make money." As for what Xingwangfu, I know them, but they don't know me. Sun Dan is only one poor showman, but he has the heart to climb this high branch. It's a pity that I have a limit, and people don't look down on me. ”

Sun Dan said, Zhengde listened silently, and when Sun Dan said this, the light in his eyes suddenly closed. A smile also hung on the corner of his mouth: "Do you still need to climb high branches?" If you have a limit, there is no one in the world who dares to call it a peerless national warrior. Although Yang Shen is known as the first person in the country, he can be reckless and impulsive, if you talk about knowledge, you are still a step behind. If you really want to enter the office, wait until the autumn and spring of the next year, and it will be easy to take the Jinshi exam. Could it be that the Xing Wangfu also dares to compete with the imperial court for talents? He stretched out his thin arm like dry wood and motioned for Sun Dan to help him up.

Sun Dan hurriedly stepped forward, lifted Zhengde's body with a slight force, and leaned against the head of the bed.

Zhengde sighed: "Actually, I really want to kill you today." ”

Sun Dan was horrified in his heart, but he pretended to have a calm expression, and deliberately asked, "Why doesn't the general use a knife?" ”

Zhengde: "If you can't use a character like you, you can only kill it, otherwise it will be a great trouble." Just now I was hesitating whether to do it, but after listening to your words, I didn't have the heart to do it. I also know a little bit about you, and what you just said is true, so it can be seen that you are open-minded. Perhaps, you really don't know what happened in the capital, and if I kill you, it's a pity. ”

When Sun Dan heard this, his heart settled down, and he said secretly: Fortunately, what I said is the truth, most of the ancient kings thought that they were wise and powerful, and they were the most unsightly to be deceived in front of him. A person like Zhengde has a very strong human touch, as long as he has something to say in front of him and is upright, he will not treat you well. Of course, Jiajing, who took over, was a different kind of person and needed to use other means to deal with it.

Getting along with leaders is also an art.

Fortunately, Sun Dan has been a civil servant for many years, and there is no shortage of this kind of political art.

Zhengde sat up and gasped a few times, as if he was a little happy. Suddenly blinked his eyes and exclaimed, "No, I seem to have been deceived by someone else." If you Sun Dan want to be an official, you don't have to do anything, you just need to wait until you can take the exam, you can easily take a Jinshi, and then enter the Hanlin Academy, and boil his qualifications for decades, so you can naturally get a cabinet assistant minister. Do you still need to take risks to cling to a vassal king with an unknown future? ”
