Under normal circumstances, the Ming Dynasty rarely had auxiliary ministers, in fact, in history, Zhengde succeeded to the throne and did not deliberately set up auxiliary ministers, the reason why this is so is actually a change in Zhu Youzhang's mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhengde in history, there is no political opinion at all, it can be said that he was a blank sheet of paper when he succeeded to the throne, but now under the instigation of Liu Chengfeng, he has his own prejudices.

Zhu Youzhu hoped that the emperors of later generations would be impartial and believe in businessmen, and the ministers would deviate from morality, so at this point, he was extremely uneasy about Zhu Houzhao.

What is his son's surname, how could Zhu Youzhu not know, if he likes certain people, he will tear out his heart, it is precisely because of this concern that Zhu Youzhu ordered the cabinet to assist the government, in case there is a change.

This is a compromise with the civilian clique, and this compromise has obviously achieved great results, at least everyone in the palace seems to have taken a reassuring pill, with the three university scholars in the cabinet in charge, everyone does not have to worry about the future for the time being.

For this holy decree of the auxiliary government, Liu Chengfeng has no intention of objecting, of course he knows the emperor's thoughts, in fact, he himself knows that the cabinet comes out to assist the government, there is no possibility of turmoil in this world, they are all stable people, they are the elite of the scholars, for the class of scholars, although Liu Chengfeng is a little unpleasant, he can't get used to their arrogance, he can't get used to them pulling tiger skins, he can't get used to them lifting their tails to the sky one by one, and even disgusted with the high-sounding male thieves and female prostitutes in their mouths. But there is one thing Liu Chengfeng knows, this world will never be separated from these people, and he wants long-term peace and stability. It is absolutely inseparable from them.

Emperor Taizu hated these scholars deeply, and beat and killed them, often peeling their skins and filling the grass, but even so, it was not necessary to rely on them to maintain the stability of the world.

Liu Chengfeng does not have the deep hatred for scholars like Taizu, after all, although the scholars make Liu Chengfeng unaccustomed to it. Although there is a conflict of interest, it has not yet reached the point of dying, and Emperor Taizu is different. Emperor Taizu started from recklessness, suffered the anger of the scholars, and was full of deep hatred. Even Emperor Taizu Yanjing was helpless against them, what else could Liu Chengfeng do?

Merchants are the means to get rich, scholars are the guarantee of long-term peace and stability, this point Liu Chengfeng can still distinguish, businessmen can not govern the country, scholars can not do business, this is the longest way.

Therefore, Liu Chengfeng took this holy decree calmly, and he returned to the harem with the new emperor Zhu Houzhao, and at this time in the Zhengxin Palace, Empress Zhang was sitting alone. The eunuchs and palace people around her were in a mess, and she didn't realize it, as if everything had nothing to do with her, all the people had no life in front of her, and the only life she cared about had become a cold corpse. is about to become carrion and dry bones, at this time, in this world, what can make her have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and make her breed countless emotions?

Empress Zhang an hour ago is different from Empress Dowager Zhang an hour later. It's not just the difference in title and status, but the most essential difference in the whole person.

Her expression was indifferent, without the slightest anger, she just sat blankly, when she sat in the past, she was planning the future, but now when she sits, she will always only remember the past, remember the person in the past, remember the man she was willing to dedicate her life to, accompany him day and night, and vow never to separate.

People are gone, they belong to the five elements, heaven and man are separated, but in the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhang, this person will never go, he will always exist, forever and ever.

At this time, Empress Zhang had already restrained the tears in her eyes, the tears were dry, and she was sad to the extreme, but she calmed down.

It's just that this calmness is really a bit terrifying, so that the eunuchs and palace people in the past are tiptoeing and don't dare to make a little breath.

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Chengfeng entered the palace together, Liu Chengfeng saw that Princess Taikang was not there, and secretly thought in his heart, I don't know how she is now, I have to take a look at her later.

"Queen Mother......" Zhu Houzhao knelt on the ground and choked up.

Empress Dowager Zhang came back to her senses a little, glanced at Zhu Houzhao a little blankly, and then regained some vitality, and said, "Houzhao is here, how about the outer court?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Fortunately, with the help of Master Liu, nothing went wrong, everything is fine, please rest assured that the queen mother is tired, so let's go and rest first." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled indifferently, this smile was very reluctant, and said lifelessly: "No need, no need, mourning family...... The mourning family holds on, the one who should come always comes, always comes......" She said twice in a row that she always came, full of sadness, she just couldn't imagine that she came so quickly, she just couldn't imagine that she thought she was ready to bear it, but when the real time came, she couldn't resist the bad news, she was tired, tired and tired, but at this moment, these feelings were not important to her at all, they were too unimportant, but what she wanted would never come back, never.

Empress Dowager Zhang set her eyes on Liu Chengfeng again, and said: "Liu Chengfeng, I have worked hard for you, the prince is young and weak, and you have to help you in many things, if you are tired, you can rest in the palace, and you will stay in the palace for a few days, there is no need to avoid anything, and there is nothing to avoid." ”

Liu Chengfeng listened to Empress Zhang's voice, and felt very uncomfortable, and said busily: "Erchen obeys the order." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Also, you will leave Beijing later, wait until the emperor is buried, and then talk about it, at this time, the mourning family and the emperor Yanjing need you, Emperor Daxing once said that the funeral is simple, but the mourning family can not do what he said, it is better to be grand, the expenses should be spent, he has suffered for a lifetime, and he has suffered for a lifetime. ”

When she said this, Empress Dowager Zhang felt dizzy, she remembered the past, in the past, the man who accompanied him day and night, why didn't he make many promises, wanted to accompany Empress Dowager Zhang to play, wanted to rest for ten days and a half to accompany her, but this promise will never be fulfilled, he will always fall into all kinds of problems, he forgets to solve these problems, so that he forgets the people around him, and even forgets his preferences and **, he is such a person, such an annoying, It makes people hate, but it also makes people feel great, and people can't help but admire him.

Empress Dowager Zhang was out of her mind for a while, she raised her eyes, and saw the open window outside the hole, the rows of trees and branches and leaves withered, and saw the unique depression of all things in the winter, she suddenly realized that her future and these withered branches and leaves and the depression of all things, there will be no more color and brilliance, she is really tired this time, not tired, but a kind of tiredness of living beings, her eyelids raised slightly, her eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao, and said: "Houzhao, remember, don't go to learn from your father and emperor, the queen mother does not ask you to be a holy monarch, The queen mother doesn't ask for it, you live your own life well, and live a good life. ”

Her eyes fell on Liu Chengfeng again: "You are now a vassal king, the order of heaven dominates one side, although the vassal country is small, but it also has its own temple, but it is difficult for the mourning family to see you in the future, it is difficult to see Princess Taikang again, you remember, no matter where you and Taikang are, the mourning family hopes that you will be safe and sound, and they all hope that you will be harmonious and beautiful, treat Princess Taikang well, treat her well, don't teach disappointment, she is also a hard-working person, hard-working, ......"

With that, she got up and left her seat, and said, "Go all your ways, mourning...... The mourning family took another look, one last look. ”

She said and walked slowly towards the bed.

Her steps were very frivolous, as if a gust of wind could blow her down, but if you look at her back deeply, you can feel a feeling transmitted from this lonely back—loneliness.

An unconcealable loneliness, she blindfolded herself, gagged her mouth and nose, plugged her ears, and from then on, she would only live in her own world, only her and his world, the affairs of the outside world, obviously she was not interested at all.

Zhu Houzhao was still kneeling there, his head slammed on the ground and whimpered, Liu Chengfeng went up to help him up, and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Daxing poured all his hopes into His Majesty, Emperor Daxing did not feel pain before he died, and he did not want His Majesty to be hurt." ”

Zhu Houzhao cried and said: "Everything is the same as a dream, just like a dream, this ...... I still don't believe it, I don't believe that my father is no longer there, but ...... But...... But my father is really gone, I don't know what to do, I would rather not be this emperor, and I hope that my father can continue to stay in the world. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly, Zhu Houzhao's surname is still too naïve, if it is a child of an ordinary family, it is nothing, but as the new emperor, he said this, if outsiders listen to it, I don't know how chilling it is. Especially for the scholars, the emperor's position is sacred, he represents billions of subjects, represents the continuation of rights, the emperor is not a right but an obligation, how can you say that it is not rare, it is not rare.

Liu Chengfeng patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder with a sigh, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty's mourning, no matter how much you say now, it must be useless, but now the people are panicking, in order to avoid the suspicion of the officials and the people, Your Majesty must cheer up." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Master Liu, you go and rest, I don't need you to take care of me here, everything will be fine with me, I just want to be quiet here." ”

Seeing this, Liu Chengfeng had to nod helplessly and said, "Then Weichen retreats." ”
