On the Taiji Hall, Zhu Gaochi sat firmly on the dragon chair, and the hundred officials below had already bowed down to Tang Ming, and then returned to their original positions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info left Tang Ming standing alone in the middle, he didn't know where to stand.

Zhu Gaochi did not embarrass Tang Ming, and whispered a few words to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately sang a promise loudly, ordered someone to bring a prince's chair, put it directly on the side of the high platform, and invited Tang Ming to sit on it.

Such courtesy has been rare since ancient times, even if someone is given a seat in the court of the main hall, it is also some old ministers who have to be meritorious ministers. Tang Ming can indeed afford such treatment, but he is still too young, in this era where everything pays attention to seniority. It was a bit out of place for him to be given a seat at such an age.

Fortunately, in order to be able to successfully accept the title for Tang Ming today, Zhu Gaochi has done enough foreplay, and made all the current ministers dare not have any dissatisfaction.

The ministers are dissatisfied, and they are full of dissatisfaction at the moment but they can't vent it. From the moment Tang Ming stepped into the court, he had to be treated with such courtesy, who would dare to go against him in the future. Who would dare to stand up and accuse Tang Ming?

The needle drop in the Taiji Hall can be heard, Zhu Gaochi is very satisfied with this effect, and he doesn't say much, and directly asks the eunuch who has already held the holy decree to read out the reward for Tang Ming and the credit that was hidden by Zhu Dixue before. I am here today in front of hundreds of civil and military officials to inform the world.

Named the king of the opposite sex, there is also a palace in the palace, and three counties are directly drawn outside the city of Beiping as their fiefs. All the islands in the Daming Sea were all owned by Tang Ming, and in Daming, he could control a large part of the power of life and death by virtue of his identity.

The civil and military officials were once again shocked by Tang Ming's reward at this moment, if Tang Ming did not have any accidents, he could actually be regarded as an equal to the emperor.

After the reward, Zhu Gaochi specially held a banquet in the palace to congratulate Tang Ming's return with hundreds of officials. Although the hundred officials were reluctant in their hearts, they were not good at the emperor's Yaxing, so they drank and feasted in the back garden with a stiff smile on their faces.

During the banquet, Zhu Gaochi said excitedly: "Brother Tang's spaceship is really powerful, sixty spaceships were sent to the front line of the Tatars, and the Tatar army was easily annihilated. Just two days ago, the Tatars had sent envoys to negotiate peace with us, but at first they were still arrogant and refused to bow down to our Ming dynasty. ”

"It wasn't until I sent a spaceship again to attack its Khan tribe that they didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and sacrificed countless cattle and sheep to confess their sins and bow down! Speaking of which, I have a lot of thank you! ”

Zhu Gaochi obviously made the same mistake again, and as soon as he drank too much, he once again showed the appearance of fooling around with Tang Ming before. Not only did he start to speak, but he also spoke freely, and at this moment, he had already completely taken off his mask as the emperor. Go back to the old Zhu Gaochi, the era when you could do whatever you wanted.

Zhu Gaochi in Tang Ming's eyes at the moment is only lonely and has no happiness at all, the law between heaven and earth is that there are gains and losses. The more you gain will inevitably lose more, and when you wake up from the joy you receive, you will know what you have lost.

is like Zhu Gaochi at this moment, he got the longed-for throne, but he also lost himself at the same time. As great as the power and responsibility, when he ascended to the supreme throne. He is no longer a person who lives for himself, the dynasty and the people and the world, all these are the goals he must strive for in the future.

Obviously, Zhu Gaochi has not been able to adapt to such a life now, and Tang Ming's arrival is like a life-saving straw for him, accumulating the bitter water in his heart for a long time, and constantly pouring it out at this moment.

Tang Ming asked all the eunuchs and maids who were serving him to stay away, and then patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder, and said seriously: "This is all fate, you can admit it!" In fact, it's still good to be an emperor, is it really that important to live for yourself? ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were already hazy, he didn't seem to understand Tang Ming's words, and stared at Tang Ming in a daze for a long time before he suddenly said, "Are you so much worse than me as the emperor now?" No, with your current strength, I know that if you really have a thief heart for Da Ming, you are fully capable of taking it. But you don't want to know why. Can you tell me? ”

Tang Ming looked at Zhu Gaochi silently for a long time, and suddenly said: "If I tell you, because Daming is my second hometown, my roots and my home!" Do you believe it? “

In fact, Tang Ming had already begun to understand a little why Zhu Gaochi was so out of shape just now, and from his question at the moment, he could already see some true meanings. Maybe he will give himself such a heavy reward, which confirms his previous concept, it is better to comb than to block. At this moment, Zhu Gaochi's governing philosophy has always been the opposite of his father, and he had told Zhu Di before not to force Tang Ming to have no way out, because he knew that Tang Ming's strength was far more than what seemed simple on the surface.

In particular, the time he lived on Jeju Island gave him a lot of feelings, and it also made him really understand Tang Ming's true strength.

However, Zhu Di decided to use the most extreme force against Tang Ming when Daming had no chance of winning, which would undoubtedly make Daming fall into a turbulent crisis again. Therefore, he would prefer to use friendship to bind Tang Ming rather than push him to the side of his hostility.

Zhu Gaochi nodded affirmatively in the face of Tang Ming's answer, and said confidently: "Believe, because I have known you for so long, you have always been an emotional person. Even if you have the strength to fight the world now, you still haven't changed that! ”

At this point, the two of them laughed at the same time, silence is better than sound, everything they need has already been answered, so naturally there is no need to be so tempted. Zhu Gaochi no longer spoke freely as he did just now, but put on the mask of the emperor again in an instant.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and Zhu Gaochi announced the dismissal of the banquet with a slight drunkenness, and the civil and military officials were able to get rid of this uninteresting banquet. Take your tired body back to your home and rest for a while.

When Tang Ming was leaving, he thanked Zhu Gaochi for inviting him to stay in the palace, and hurriedly left the palace to join Zheng He and them.

When Tang Ming returned to the post house where he was staying, Zheng He asked with a tiger face: "Could it be that you also can't withstand the offensive of power and are completely controlled by the emperor?" ”

"Where do you start?" Tang Ming obviously didn't know what Zheng He meant, and responded with a puzzled face! (To be continued.) )
