4/4, bow curtain call ~ -- Taimiao and Shejitan are on both sides of the end door, is a rather grand building complex, more than 300 zhang long from north to south, more than 200 zhang wide, a total of three walls, composed of three halls in the front, middle and back. 【】

The main hall stands in the center of the whole temple complex, the top of the heavy eaves of the palace, the triple white marble Sumeru pedestal, the beams in the hall are all covered with agarwood, and other components are also built by the precious golden silk nanmu, the whole building is extremely solemn and luxurious, see it from afar, you can feel the solemn atmosphere in it.

On this day, a large number of people gathered in front of the Taimiao, some of them were the attendants of the three fathers-in-law and other righteous virtues, and the other part was the internal supervisor on duty in the Taimiao.

"Grandpa Zhang, what is Long Live Lord doing in there?"

"Third father-in-law, it's not like you haven't seen it, long live the Lord began to drive people as soon as he entered, how dare we slaves and maids delay? But can you give us a breath of the wind, long live the Lord came to Taimiao, what are you doing? ”

Both sides stared at each other, full of doubts, and wanted to get some inspiration from the other party, but in the end, they found out that the other party didn't know anything.

The third father-in-law sighed: "It would be good if our family knew, long live the lord has grown up, and even Father-in-law Gu can't touch his mind, let alone our family, alas!" ”

"Lao Zhang, before you came out, did you see where Long Live Lord was?" Gu Fatzi asked suddenly.

"I know this, Long Live Lord is in the main hall." Grandpa Zhang nodded hurriedly.

"The ...... of the main hall" Gu Fatzi turned his head and glanced at the third father-in-law, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, the main hall is the place where the tablets of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are placed, the emperor is obviously going to make a major decision, and that decision ...... "Otherwise, our family will go to Cining Palace to make a speech?" The third father-in-law rubbed his hands together and proposed with some uncertainty.

He saw the scene of the court meeting just now, he didn't think that the courtiers could stop the emperor's determination, even if it was Mr. Wang, who was highly valued by the emperor, or Tang Yushi, who was admired by the emperor, in today's Ming Dynasty, there is only one person who can dissuade the emperor, but unfortunately, that person is still in Jiangnan, it must be too late.

The Queen Mother has rarely interfered in political affairs in the past two years, but she still has weight in the emperor's heart, and if the Queen Mother is allowed to come forward, it may also have an effect.

"I said three brothers, don't mess around, long live the Lord hates people eating inside and out, Lao Liu and Zhang Yong were like this back then, you and I must not follow in their footsteps." Gu Da's face was like the color of earth, and he waved his hand again and again.

Looking for the Queen Mother may have an effect, but afterwards, the person who goes to report will undoubtedly be regarded as a betrayer by the emperor. Although he is still so affectionate, but as the old saying goes: A companion is like a tiger, who can guarantee that there is no case? After all, he is the emperor of the Ninety-Five!

The most important thing is that the Lord Long Live has come to Taimiao, and obviously attaches great importance to this operation, otherwise it would not be so solemn, at this time, it is no problem to persuade it, but if you make small moves to destroy it...... Then the consequences are difficult to say.

"So, just waiting?"

"Otherwise, just go and inform His Royal Highness Yongfu, and ask His Highness not to tell the Queen Mother, so it's safer." Gu Dayong thought about it and proposed another candidate.

"Your Highness Yongfu? Isn't that the same? The two of them muttered for a long time, and Father-in-law Zhang also came up, just in time to hear Gu Fatzi's proposal.

Gu Fatzi mysteriously leaned into Father-in-law Zhang's ear, and muttered in a low voice: "It's different, Lao Zhang, we've known each other for decades, and I won't hide it from you, in fact, His Royal Highness Yongfu has another layer of identity, that is, ......"

"Huh? Is there such a thing? That's not in order! Father-in-law Zhang's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed.

"Anyway, you just know, don't go out and talk nonsense," the plan has been decided, Gu Dayong is also a man of action, he arched his hand to the two companions, turned around and left. "Three brothers, Lao Zhang, you guys stay here first, and we'll come when we go."

Standing stiff for a long time, watching the chubby figure disappear between the eaves, Grandpa Zhang seemed to suddenly come to life, turned his head and asked, "Third Father-in-law, is this true?" Did that Lord's Grace really come to this point? It was a marriage given by the emperor before, and now it is a princess, and it is ......"

Because he was too shocked, Grandpa Zhang was a little incoherent, he had been in the Taimiao, he didn't know much about the things in the palace, and he didn't know anything about it, he didn't expect that the legendary champion Hou had reached this point, not only to make the emperor obey, but even to make the princess change her identity...... This kind of holy family, no, the holy family can no longer describe the status of this person in the emperor's mind, I am afraid there is only ...... He looked up at the main hall, and only the former emperor could occupy a similar position in the heart of today's long live, right?

Faced with Father-in-law Zhang's question, the third father-in-law smiled and said nothing.

Hou Ye Xie who rescued the suffering, come back quickly, the guess has been confirmed, Gonggong Zhang couldn't help but close his eyes and pray, and only when you come back can you stop the emperor from taking risks.

…… Zhengde twisted a few pillars of incense, lit it, inserted it on the incense burner, bowed a few times, and what was written on the tablet was: Da Tianming Dao Pure Sincerity Zhongzheng Shengwen Shenwu Zhiren Dade Jing Emperor, this is the name of Hongzhi.

"Father, the emperor has come to see you again." In the empty hall, the young man's voice echoed softly, with a little sorrow, a little tenderness, but more than that, it was longing.

"It's been four years before I know it, my father, the current Ming Dynasty is completely different from before, it has become better than before, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials obey the law, just like you said to me back then......" The scene in the palace is enough to make many people's jaws drop, and it will also make many people feel that they should take it for granted.

The Zhengde, who has never been serious, is actually babbling to himself, from the political affairs of the court, to the details of ordinary life, not jumping out at all, and the details are impeccable, where is there the shadow of the whimsical, but strong and domineering emperor in the court?

But as long as you have enough understanding of royal affairs, you won't feel anything weird, the father-son relationship between the former crown prince and Emperor Xiaozong is so deep, and the time of four years can't dilute it at all.

"It's really hard to be an emperor, especially for those political affairs, the ministers of the court and the central government always have a point. When I first ascended the throne, I tried to respect their opinions as much as possible according to your father's instructions, but it didn't take long for me to find that their opinions often contradicted themselves, even if it was the same thing, the same truth, let different people say it at different times, it will be very different. ”

The young man smiled, with a sneer in his smile, "They said that the Son of Heaven can't compete with the people for profit, so they want me to quit the Huangzhuang, but they themselves are enclosing the land, hehe, this word is very vivid, right?" There are more images than throwing in something, after I quit the Huangzhuang, and then let them go to the circle, this is the Son of Heaven does not compete with the people. ”

"They said that we should be thrifty and thrifty, and set an example for the people of the world, saying that as long as I use enough money, the treasury will be enriched, and then the country and the people will be safe. But in fact, I have to be nagged by the imperial history and the ministers when I eat an extra supper, and when they hold a banquet in the mansion, a meal costs hundreds of thousands of taels, and it turns out that what I save is for them to squander. ”

"They also said that they should rule the world with kindness, that they should not collect taxes from merchants, and that they should enforce a sea ban so as not to keep bandits...... Hmph, but as a result, they set up their own checkpoints, drew donations from passing merchants, conducted their own sea trade, played the role of bandits themselves, and the Tartars broke through the border, but they didn't think about rescue, but said what to guard the pass and wait for the Tartars to retreat! ”

The voice turned cold, and it became sharp: "What the eldest brother said is right, these scholars with different hearts and words, words and deeds are the biggest scourge for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

The voice became passionate again: "Father, what I know is that you blessed the emperor in the dark and sent the eldest brother to me, it was he who solved my doubts, it was he who helped me regain the imperial power, and it was he who told me that the Son of Heaven shepherds the world, just like a shepherd who herds sheep, has responsibilities and obligations." ”

"As the Son of Heaven, I have the responsibility to find pasture water sources for all the people of the world, to show them the way, and to give them plenty of food and clothing; It is my duty to protect the people of the world and drive away the wolves that prey on them; I also have the responsibility to sweep away the old bureaucrats who oppress them, return the Ming Dynasty to a clear future, and spread the prestige of the Ming Dynasty all over the world! ”

"So, father, you should understand, I'm not messing around, I'm doing my duty as the Son of Heaven, and the stability of the Ming Dynasty is guarded by me!" The passionate words stirred in the main hall, and the green smoke that rose from it trembled, constantly changing shapes, making the tablets on the offering table looming, as if the previous emperors had woken up and were expressing their opinions to the young man.

"Grandpa Taizu, you expelled the Tartars, restored the clothes of China, formulated strict laws, tried to deter those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and created a peaceful and prosperous era; Grandpa Taizong, you have made five northern expeditions, intending to completely eliminate the Tartars and defuse the threat of those jackals to the Central Plains......"

The smoke opened and closed, the tablets of the emperors of the past dynasties loomed, and the young man's voice was loud, one by one, "Father, the emperor knows, you have also thought about completing the unfinished business of Taizu and Taizong, but it's a pity...... But it doesn't matter, there is still me, I will become the martial emperor of the Ming Dynasty, create a prosperous and prosperous era, and let the people of the Ming Dynasty enjoy peace for ten thousand years! ”

At this moment, there was a sound of gentle footsteps at the door, although Zhengde had an order first, so that others were not allowed to approach, but his voice was getting higher and higher, and the third father-in-law and the others could hear it clearly dozens of steps away, and they couldn't help but be worried. They themselves didn't dare to come forward to disturb, but with another noble person around, it didn't matter if they followed behind.

"Brother Emperor, are you okay?" A timid voice rang out.

"It's okay, I'm going back to Xiyuan." What should be said, and almost said, Zhengde returned to his previous expression, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, waved his hand at a tablet, and said loudly: "Grandpa, you just watch carefully, and see your grandson help you get the field back!" ”

After that, he walked out with his head held high, the third prince felt strange, but he didn't dare to ask the emperor, so he looked into the hall with his head probed.

The green smoke in the hall curls, gathering and scattering impermanence, opening and closing, a tablet is in it, and it is written: Fa Tian Lidao Renming Cheng Jing Zhaowen Xianwu to Deguang Xiaorui Emperor, the third prince is still very dedicated as a eunuch, just a little thought, he remembered, isn't this the tablet of Emperor Yingzong?
