The excitement in Zhu Houzhao's eyes was about to overflow, but he tried to suppress it, and said humbly: "It's all taught by the father, and the child is still far away!" ”

"Well, that's right! Far from it! Hongji's tone froze. looked at the disappointment in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and continued to comment: "It doesn't matter if the wind is good or not, but it is extremely important to Qingliu. If you want to abolish the rumors, but you don't do your homework beforehand, you will be attacked today. Houzhao, I am the emperor, and I don't dare to flip the table so rashly, where did you have the guts to dare to take people's jobs? Plan and then act, you have no one to cooperate with such a big thing, and you want to oppress people with the power in your hands? It's not Yang Tinghe today, you're making a fool of yourself! ”

Zhu Houzhao was full of unhappiness, he was just tempting, tempting. Where is it so serious?

Hongji laughed: "Silly boy, how is Wei'er?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and touched his head: "Smarter than me!" ”

Hongji shook his head: "Wrong! He's more stable than you! ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, Zhu Houwei was steady? Where did my father see it? You don't know all that he's doing! "Steady? Father, Brother Wei is smart and steady? He had just escaped from King Ning's hands. ”

"Alas! Son, Wei'er is actually not as talented as you, but she has that dream and her knowledge is higher than yours. And when he does things, he always wants to win over one faction and fight another. Think about it, the heating was given to the four uncles, "Journey to the West" was given to the four uncles, the iron smelting was given to the Ministry of War and the Inner Court, and the telescope was given to the Inner Court. The textile machine was given to Yingtian Shangjia, and the cement machine Jiangnan shared profits. Look, he's rushing straight like you? Oh, of course, Wei'er also failed, but it was because he was in a hurry, and he was still young, so he had this problem. Do you remember the time when Wang Zhi and He Wending fought? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Remember!" Brother Wei directly found the ancestor and asked Wang Zhi to disguise. ”

"Yes, Wei'er is the prince, He Wending is a eunuch, and his status is so poor, why doesn't Wei'er crush it directly?"

Only then did Zhu Houzhao remember what he thought was strange, yes, why didn't he just hit it?

Hongzhi didn't wait for Zhu Houzhao to answer, so he continued: "Wei'er first makes herself invincible, and then brings her grandmother to make an alliance. Even if others find fault, they are helpless. That's what it's like to do things! Alas, Houzhao, you and Wei'er are both father's sons, and in your father's heart, they are both generally loved. But you are too reckless, once you get to that position, how can Dad put his mind at ease! ”

Zhu Houzhao was not convinced: "Father, is the child really so reckless?" ”

Hongji shook his head and stretched out his hand: "Houzhao, come, sit in front of my father." Dad told you that Dad really wanted Wei'er to sit in that position in the past, because he was more suitable than you. Don't think that Dad doesn't love you, it's just that Dad actually likes you, so he wants you to be free for a lifetime. You are in a hurry, but you are both civil and military, and Yang Guang's temperament is actually similar, you can't be an emperor! Don't be in a hurry to talk back, listen to Dad! ”

Hongji turned his head to look out the window and said in a low voice: "Your brother is indeed more suitable than you to be the emperor, but he willfully left Yingtian, so this possibility was broken." Dad will let him go, and you can't help but suffer from it. Thick photos, my father has been the emperor for so many years, but now is the most dangerous moment. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Hongzhi puzzled: "Dad, isn't Chaozhong very quiet?" ”

"Alas! Houzhao, before there was no industry, my throne was as stable as Mount Tai. However, this is no longer the case! Do you think royalty is born to be a man of his word? Hum! It's just that the royal family can give these people meat to eat, so there is something to bow and knock. The royal family is just a bigger family, and people are not afraid! During the time of Taizu, the subjects of the world were killed and taken because the power of the royal family was unstoppable, and the Huaixi nobles had an army in their hands. My grandfather lost his military power in the first battle of Tumu Fort, and the power of the royal family shrank, so there was this cabinet and the inner court to fight against each other! So what now? What do I have in my hands? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with difficulty: "Dad, there aren't many things." Brother Wei told me before. Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Cooking Wolf Army, Mineral Survey Bureau, Inner Court"

"Yes, just this kind of people, why would they be afraid? So now it's at stake! Engage in industry, I don't see much fat, smash people's jobs first, you say, people will still wait for the knife to be on the neck? Hongzhi was the most sober at this time, and he finally understood what Hua Houwei had done, and why. If you continue to be with the light, it will be worse than rotten, and Daming will always be in a state of pasting the house until the moment of collapse comes; To engage in industry is to make a living, but it is necessary to fight with the military generals, grab a piece of meat first, and then distribute it to these military generals. But people don't want to! A hundred birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand! These people would rather change to a royal family than have one less piece of meat in their bowl!

Zhu Hou looked at Hongji, who was a little emaciated, and asked his biggest question softly: "Then, can't you not engage in industry?" ”

Hongji shook his head: "You still haven't seen through the mystery here!" Who does industry benefit from? ”

"Royal, People, State,"

"Yes, it's not good for these courtiers! Why? It's because they've taken the fattest piece! And, the most important thing is that the right to share meat is actually no longer in the royal family! ”

Zhu Houzhao was shocked: "Father, you mean? Is the royal just a decoration? ”

"That's right! What Dad and your brother Wei did was to snatch back the right to share meat from the courtiers! Can this life-and-death struggle be dangerous? ”

Zhu Houzhao, who had just bred strange thoughts in his heart today, suddenly strangled those thoughts to death. If the Zhu family's throne is not guaranteed, where will he still exist? He asked anxiously, "Father, can you win?" ”

Hongji shook his head: "I'm not sure. Houzhao, if you like military affairs, you can analyze it and see what our odds are. ”

"The time of heaven is the righteousness and the general trend, and my royal and courtiers account for half of each of them."

"Wrong! The royal family only accounts for 30%! ”

Zhu Houzhao asked incredulously: "Why?" ”

"The imperial power and the Confucian sect are half each, but the Zhu family is not only you, my father and son. There are always people who are delusional and don't care about the whole Zhu family. So, we only account for 30%! ”

"The location is favorable, the people are two percent, and the royal family of the world does not even have one percent!"

"Go on!"

"He, Dad, we have no chance of winning!"

Hongji nodded: "Yes, but you don't have to be presumptuous." These courtiers are not of one heart, so we can meet the source left and right. Daddy today teaches you the first principle of the way of king, balance! ”

The father and son talked for a long time, and gradually the sky brightened.

Gathering intelligence from all sides, Liu Daxia and Mu Bin hurried to the Wenhua Palace. In the Wenhua Palace, Yang Tinghe was lecturing with emotion, and Zhu Hou was sitting on his lap without squinting.
