Chapter 269: The Growing Emperor

Li Dongyang was shocked, but his dignity as Zaifu made him unable to bow his head to Liu Jin, and things slipped in a worse direction!

Zhu Houzhao, who was provoked by Liu Jin and slowly calmed down, went berserk again! He sneered and pointed at the ministers: "Am I not virtuous? Or do you do something evil that God will not tolerate? Need so much exhortation? ”

Liu Zhong raised his head painfully, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have no intention of forcing the palace, but just beg Your Majesty, Lord Min and Lord Zeng are stubborn, Your Majesty is the monarch's father, and he has the world hidden in his chest, and he can tolerate one or two." Your Majesty is in his prime, and Da Ming is thriving, so why add another blood? Your Majesty, Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Houzhao's temples were beating straight, his heart was surging rapidly, and his face was getting redder and redder. Suddenly, Xiao Jing entered the Fengtian Hall and knelt in front of the jade steps: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is invited!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's heart moved, and his face slowly faded bloody: "Okay!" Drive Cining Palace! Scatter the dynasty! A decree will be issued later. ”

Li Dongyang let out a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground weakly, and muttered, "Okay! Good! ”

Liu Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowly got up, and helped up the paralyzed Li Dongyang: "Lord Li, Lord Li, you are old, be careful." ”

"There is labor, there is labor! Lord Liu, thanks to you today! ”

"Alas, the lower officials don't want Your Majesty to do something stupid under his anger, which is not a good thing for the country and the people!"

Min Gui was still standing, and snorted when he heard the words: "The wind rises at the end of Qingping, I'm afraid of appeasement and adultery!" ”

Liu Zhong glared angrily: "Then step by step, let Your Majesty be furious?" Lord Min, peace is the teachings of the saints! ”

"Humph! Is the old man for himself? Isn't it for the sake of the saints and the common people in the world? ”

Li Dongyang shook his head weakly: "Okay, let's disperse." Look at what His Majesty has to say when he comes back from Cining Palace! ”

Zhu Houzhao entered Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou dismissed everyone, looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked kindly: "Zhao'er, what do you think about today's events?" ”

Zhu Houzhao finally got out of his violent state, frowned and said, "Strange! Originally, I just wanted to test Wenchen today, but somehow, step by step, I came to this point! ”

"Alas! Zhao'er, you are already the emperor, but you can't still act with the thoughts you had when you were the prince. Your original intention is good, the court and the central government are indeed covering the sky with one hand, and someone must check and balance them! ”

"Ancestor, do you think that's the case too?"

Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head: "After your grandfather, Daming is in danger of overturning." It was your grandfather who lost the good situation overnight! Although Qi Yu became the emperor, he has always taken good care of my orphans and widows. But at that time, the two brothers were competing for the country, and they were exploited by those shameless literati, and finally the royal power fell to the side, and they ended up like this! Zhao'er, are you wrong today? ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "My grandson has introspected himself several times, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"Is that Liu Jin at fault?"

"Liu Jin? What could he be wrong with? If you really want to say wrong, the fault is that he is my person! ”

"That's right! That's the key! Hum! It's just to kill two rebellious people, if it is placed in Taizu and Chengzu, what is it? Why can't these people move now? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Brother Wei has long told me that the Chinese people cover the sky with one hand, but I always feel that it is exaggerated." Today, it seems that what Brother Wei said is still much more conservative, where is this covering the sky with one hand? It is clear that you think of yourself as the sky! ”

"yes, yes!" Empress Dowager Zhou leaned back and looked out the window: "Zhao'er, Wei'er is really sincere to you, don't be a brother!" Alas, if Qi Zhen had your brother in the first place, where would it have come to this point? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily: "Ancestor, don't worry, absolutely not." ”

"Well, back to today, Zhao'er, you're too strong! If you really kill Min Gui and Zeng Jian, there will be a bloody storm in Daming in an instant! They are different from the two who died, there are countless henchmen in the court, can you stop it? ”

"Me!" Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and said bitterly for a while: "Can't stop it!" It's really unstoppable! Mu Bin is proof of this! Alas, how could such a loyal man be obsessed? ”

"Huh! Zhu Houzhao, I'm afraid you're wrong! ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Empress Dowager Zhou's somewhat unfamiliar face, and pondered for a moment: "Ancestor, what's wrong?" ”

"Humph! Who is Mu Bin? ”

"Commander of the Jinyi Guard!"

"Yes, who is in charge of Jinyiwei?"

"Uh, Royal!"

"Yes, he doesn't listen to the orders of his boss and listens to Wenchen, why? Isn't it that the royal family can take him out at most, and Wenchen can make him never recover, or even leave a stench for 10,000 years? Follow the weak royal family, or follow the prosperous Confucianism, do you need to choose? ”

Only then did Zhu Houzhao fully understand, and scolded hatefully: "Shameless! Villain! It's not as good as a eunuch like Liu Jin! ”

Empress Dowager Zhou sneered: "Everyone is the same!" What song to sing in what mountain, to that position, will always choose the most beneficial for yourself! Wei'er didn't want to be the emperor because the emperor was a chore, he was lazy, and he didn't want to be locked up in the palace for the rest of his life. Zhao'er, remember, the emperor is a real loner! ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and asked, "What should the grandson do?" ”

"Well, you're up to yourself! After all, the old body is a woman, and her vision and thinking are still different from those of men. You just have to remember to fight the minority, win the majority, plus the high-sounding reasons! The ancestors are old, and you have to walk the road by yourself! ”

There was nothing to do that night, and the next day Li Dongyang finally waited for Zhu Houzhao's will. Liu Zhong looked at Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang nodded: "It's okay!" His Majesty is pure and filial by nature, and has no intention of killing them all. ”

Liu Zhong hurriedly said: "My Lord Li! What did Your Majesty do with it? ”

"Min Gui, Zeng Jian, Mu Bin, and Wu Shan were escorted to Nanjing Jinyiwei Prison, and they were interrogated by the Nanjing Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Jinyiwei, can you understand the joints?"

Liu Zhong frowned: "King Wu? Your Majesty, what kind of medicine is this selling? ”

"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Our Majesty, hehe, the blue is better than the blue, and the young phoenix is clear than the old phoenix! What a means! ”

yes, good means. It's a pity that Liu Zhong really can't understand! After Min Gui got the news in the edict prison, he was stunned for a long time before sighing: "Your Majesty, good means!" ”

Next door Zeng Jian asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"Kill two birds with one stone, count birds with one stone! Hehe, you and I are both against the development of industry, and we are important ministers in the DPRK! If King Wu kills you and me, of course he will show his true colors and isolate himself from the world's scholars! If you and I are dealt with seriously, won't this grudge be taken over by King Wu? ”
