After canonizing the crown prince, because Zhu Gaochi was physically unable to manage the government, he was temporarily put in charge of the country by the prince. Zhu Zhanji has always been cultivated by the emperor's grandfather, and there is no difficulty in handling political affairs. It only took 10 days to complete the government affairs that had accumulated for more than a month, and the government decree was unimpeded.

Zhu Gaochi simply looked at a few pieces and expressed his satisfaction. is more relieved to recuperate in the harem, feeling like being the emperor, but Zhu Zhanji is very busy.

Chen Yuan's canonization was in November.

On the main hall, the eunuch Wang Zhen read out the holy decree of canonizing Chen Yuan as the Marquis of Weining.

The ministers of the palace gasped, several scholars were all envious and jealous, they had been mixed all their lives, and they had not been able to fall into the role of a marquis, Chen Yuan was in his early twenties, rich and noble, and his grace could not be attached.

Looking at Chen Yuan again, there was some excitement in his eyes, but he was not impatient or impatient, and he bowed down calmly to thank him. I can't help but admire, this son is so calm and ashamed.

In Chen Yuan's heart, it was impossible not to be excited, he didn't have much interest in power. However, this marquis is not easy to come by, he doesn't have to go to court at any time, he doesn't have to be troubled by the case every day, but he can lead Yulu, collect rent, play games, and play games on his own one-acre and three-point land, and the title is hereditary.

When he heard that he was going to be a marquis, the happiest person was, of course, Chen Yuan's family. Fan Niangzi was so happy that she went to the temple to burn incense for ten days and bowed sincerely. Dong Mingyan and Jian Yixuan are equal wives, regardless of size. At this time, he was no longer worried about Chen Yuan's marriage to a foreign princess. The title is hereditary, so secretly, Chen Yuan, the eldest son, depends on whose family the flowers fall to.

Jian Yixuan was ashamed and embarrassed, and secretly worked hard, so that the Marquis of Weining was happy.

He is now a big landlord in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi is a benevolent master at the bottom, and he was once evil, when he understood his hard work, he was indeed treated differently.

Of course, I still feel a little ashamed in my heart, Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to sleep with your wife. Although Chen Yuan knew that Empress Zhang was peerless, he didn't go to the date that day, so Queen Zhang waited all night. He doesn't want to play with fire, since he has been sealed and has children, he has to be responsible for his family.

Walking out of the Taihe Palace, the sky was clear, and the sun outside the hall shone on his body. The winter sun was warm and comfortable, Chen Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, sighed comfortably, stood at the door, looked at the magnificent buildings of the Forbidden City, and the aura of Haoran in his heart was born. The national funeral has passed, and the ministers have basically been rewarded, so they are all smiling. Many people who were familiar with Chen Yuan and those who were not familiar with him congratulated Chen Yuan one after another. Chen Yuan responded one by one.

Walking slowly along the white jade carving fence outside the hall, he heard someone calling him behind him, Chen Yuan turned around, it turned out to be the old man.

The old man joined the army in Sichuan Township from the seventeenth year of Hongwu, raised people, the third Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, promoted to the middle scholar, awarded the levy Lang, began to be an official, and now has been an official for 37 years, after Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi four emperors, is worthy of the name of the four dynasties of the elders, when the last dynasty, Zhu Gaochi remembered his hard work, and the special seat does not have to kneel. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and his hair is already gray.

Jian Yi walked in front of Chen Yuan without hurrying, and Chen Yuan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Father-in-law." ”

Jian Yi's eyes showed a look of relief, Chen Yuan is Chen Yuan after all, his son-in-law, a young man who is not shocked by honor and disgrace, calm and introverted, and his future achievements are limitless.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and now in the court, their son-in-law is out of the limelight, and their grace is incomprehensible.

"Grace and grace are all the kindness of the emperor, you must not be complacent, act more carefully in the future, and do not do unrighteous things......" Jian Bachelor taught his son-in-law earnestly.

Chen Yuan naturally nodded seriously.

"When you have time, take Yixuan back to the house to sit down, her grandmother misses her." In the end, Jian Yi made a request.

Chen Yuan nodded, it was time to go and see the old man's house, and said that he had dealt with the matter at hand and would go in two days.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" There was a cry behind Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan didn't adapt to his identity for a while, he didn't react, and he had to be reminded by his father-in-law before he came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Princess, are you calling me?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "Isn't it? Master Hou, congratulations. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Chen Yuan said solemnly, Wang Zhen is Zhu Zhanji's person, the more he comes into contact with him, such a person is narrow-minded, but he can be the most forbearing, and it is best not to offend him. "My father-in-law called me, is there anything wrong?"

"Master Hou, Your Majesty is invited."

Chen Yuan was surprised, he had just summoned himself again?

His Majesty summoned him, so he naturally couldn't slack off, said goodbye to his father-in-law, and followed Wang Zhen to Qianqing Palace.

"Chen Yuan, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." Chen Yuan knelt down and once again expressed his gratitude for the matter of the marquis, "The minister did not make an inch of merit and was treated as a marquis, and he was very ashamed." ”

Zhu Gaochi said gently: "You don't have to be modest to retreat, you have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty and me, and I am in a hurry." I wanted you to be in the Cabinet—"

I just want to be the lord, but I don't want to go to court every day, I have to go to bed at eight o'clock in the evening, and I get up at three o'clock in the morning to go to the morning court, so can I watch it? I'm tired and tired. How good it is to be a staff officer, I come up with an idea, you go to execute, to be an executor, although the power is great, but tired into a dog, or a high-risk occupation, this is not my dream, Chen Yuan was shocked: "Your Majesty must not, the minister is not even a jinshi, there are all kinds of knowledge, and it is really unbearable." ”

Zhu Gaochi pointed at Chen Yuan, dumbfounded, and then smiled: "When the imperial examination was there, I asked you to be an official five times, but you refused, you, you are really the lazy person in the world." ”

Chen Yuan was stunned: "The minister is ashamed. ”

"You are unparalleled in talent, it's a pity not to use it, since you don't want to be in power, I will satisfy you and make you the marquis, of course, when something happens, you still have to plan for me."

Chen Yuan kowtowed again and again, grateful: "The minister thanks Your Majesty for the grace of heaven, although you are broken bones, it is difficult to repay in case, as long as Your Majesty is sent, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "The imperial examination often says in front of me, saying that you kid is very slippery, and you have a set of sycophants, I have learned it today." ”

Chen Yuan was not ashamed, he smiled, you are the emperor, and you can still talk about your ugly things every day.

"I came to you because I wanted you to come up with an idea."

Since he went down to the court to find himself, he definitely didn't find himself, let himself be grateful, there must be something, Chen Yuan was already prepared in his heart: "Please inform Your Majesty." ”

"You get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Gaochi looked around left and right, signaling the attendants to go out, and after they all went out, Zhu Gaochi frowned.

Chen Yuan also frowned, it seemed that it was a big deal, and he was busy listening carefully.

Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed and complicated, and said in a low voice: "The imperial examination is new, the king of Han and the king of Zhao came to mourn, I first ascended the throne, lost my loved ones, and there was no moderation for a while, so I sent the king of Han and the king of Zhao away." ”

Chen Yuan knew about this, where was Zhu Gaochi's original intention, Zhu Zhanji was afraid that they would lead troops to attack, so he sent it directly, and Zhu Gaochi took the blame for his son. Chen Yuan understood as soon as he thought about it, Zhu Gaochi was kind and didn't want to do anything to his two younger brothers, but his father died and his son was not allowed to mourn, which was a little unreasonable. And the two younger brothers have always been dissatisfied with him, and now they have an army in their hands, and they are fratricidal, if they make trouble, it will not end well.

Zhu Gaochi said with emotion and grief on his face: "When the imperial examination was there, they made mistakes again and again, and I thought of my mother and brothers, and pleaded for them many times, but they always didn't appreciate it, and always thought that I was very hypocritical. ”

"Your Majesty's gentleman's heart is known to the world, and Your Majesty doesn't have to worry."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and sighed: "I'm afraid, the two younger brothers are confused and do something illegal." Retreat, in fact, being the emperor is the first drudgery in the world, the country, the inner court, finances, natural and man-made disasters, the harem, everything must be managed by yourself, who can manage it, which is not to leave a reputation for eternity. Even if Mingjun Li Shimin was deaf in his later years, he not only caused Wei Zheng's unjust case, but also chose a weak master, and in the end, the Li family was almost slaughtered by Wu Zetian. ”

Chen Yuan listened quietly to him and said, it is not easy for Zhu Gaochi to realize this, the world only knows that being an emperor is powerful, and I am the only one in the world, but I don't know the hardships of being an emperor.

The most diligent Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, took over the mess left by Kangxi in his later years, had to reform, and finally offended the people of the world, he was tired and tired, only slept three or four hours a day, returned to the public with fire consumption, rectified the rule of officials, abolished the untouchable status and other measures that benefited the country and the people, so that the Qing Dynasty's finances were surplus, filling the huge deficit in Kangxi's later years, and rectifying corruption. There is also the abolition of untouchable status, and Emperor Yongzheng has a reform in human rights, that is, to cut down the untouchable status of a class of people. For example, in the first year of Yongzheng, Shanxi and Shaanxi were incorporated into the descendants of the "Lehu (official prostitute)" because of the lack of attachment to Zhu Di in the last years of the Ming Jianwen, Yongzheng ordered to remove his "Lehu" registration and make it a private household, and in September of the same year, he ordered to get rid of the "lazy people" of the descendants of those who had opposed Zhu Yuanzhang in Shaoxing and made it a private household.

Yongzheng's reform left a glorious mark, strengthened the military power, defeated Luobzang Danjin, and Qinghai was completely included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Yongzheng is harsh in employing people, strict with his subordinates, and the system is not conducive to those who only seek wealth and do not want to do practical things, so in the end, they will be scolded for eternity.

Chen Yuan was deeply touched by these, and only listened to Zhu Gaochi sigh for a long time: "If the second brother wants to be the emperor, I will give it to him." ”

Of course, this is not true, if you want to let it, you have already let it, why should you be it, Chen Yuan knew it well, and comforted: "Your Majesty is destined for heaven, Your Majesty is benevolent, the King of Han is violent, and the first emperor knows it deeply, so even if he prefers the King of Han, he has never changed the prince." ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly: "It was the imperial examination that knew this, so he asked me to do this drudgery." ”

"Chen Yuan, for the two younger brothers, I don't want to kill each other, but I am worried that they will be disadvantageous and do unfilial things-cough-cough-" Zhu Gaochi said, suddenly coughing.

"Your Majesty, your body—"

Zhu Gaochi looked outside: "My body is already poor, the weather in the north is really unbearable, it is a big sun during the day, it is hot and sweaty, and it is cold and shivering at night. ”

This is the problem of direct sunlight, there is no heating at this time, it snows in October in the north, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and naturally it cannot be compared with the mild weather in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Yuan can't explain, and said: "The climate in the north is changing, please pay attention to your body." ”

Zhu Gaochi coughed for a while: "I have decided to send Zhanji to Nanjing to deploy the relocation of the capital." ”

Chen Yuan was shocked, Zhu Gaochi wanted to move the capital back to Nanjing?
