Listening to Zhu Gaochi's words, the crown princess Zhang Yan was even more confused.

What does this have to do with whether or not you have a good son?

I couldn't help but say in confusion: "Why can't I understand what you say?" ”

Hearing this, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the old man Zhu Di on the side immediately laughed.

She didn't realize what she was saying.

Listening to their laughter, the crown princess Zhang Yan was also a little angry.

was made so teased for no reason, and he didn't say why, so he immediately said angrily: "What are you laughing at, I'm stupid, I can't understand your words, okay?" ”

But as soon as she said this, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi on the side smiled and hurriedly said: "You are not stupid, if you are stupid, how can you explain the question that my father and I have been thinking about for a long time in one sentence?" ”

"If you're stupid, what are we?"

Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi hadn't made it clear yet, and was still playing dumb riddles here, the crown princess was about to get angry, and the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side hurriedly explained: "Have you forgotten what you just said?" Didn't you also say that it would be great if this opera could be seen by everyone in the world, and since you understand this truth, why can't you figure it out? ”

Listening to the words of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the crown princess Zhang Yan also understood what these two were talking about.

But what's wrong with saying it yourself?

That's what it is.

Such a good opera, if everyone in the world can see it, that

As the crown princess Zhang Yan thought of this, a guess also came to her mind.

Moment.

It dawned on her.

Then he looked at the prince Zhu Gaochi beside him in surprise and said, "You mean, our son came up with these things in order to let everyone in the world see them?" ”

Hearing this, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi immediately nodded affirmatively.

Then he said: "That kid made such a big move, and also used the power of the imperial court, think about it, that kid's plan will be small?" This kid made this contest such a big scene, and even did not hesitate to lend out the palace, or the first thing he did after he took control of all the power. ”

"It is conceivable that the kid attaches great importance to this competition. If he is just for his own excitement, then why bother so much? He's not afraid of the world's jokes? And those, contests such as painters, and the official titles given to these winners, think about it, that kid doesn't want the world to see, and what does he want to do? ”

Listening to the reason that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi explained to him, the crown princess Zhang Yan also understood instantly.

Then he said thoughtfully, "I see."

"No wonder."

"No wonder when my son was in the house before, he often sat there alone and muttered something that it was better to share the world with the people than with the scholars."

"Say what imperial power is to be connected with the people of the world, and let the roots of the big tree of the imperial court be buried deep in the soil of the people."

"Although I have never cared about these things, and I don't understand the affairs of your men, but it was quite strange at the time, the emperor of the world, which one does not rely on those officials and ministers to control the world, and if the people are the water and the king is the fish, in the final analysis, I still have to have a good relationship with these officials."

"I've never seen an emperor who let the people control officials."

"If this is a different position, this will be a mess."

"Oh, that's what I mean. Son, is he planning to use this method to connect the imperial power with the people? ”

Listening to the question of the crown princess Zhang Yan.

But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

The crown princess Zhang Yan, who said this, didn't think of anything too deep, but after hearing the explanation of her husband, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, she thought of her son's self-talk.

So I asked casually.

But what about the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the old man Zhu Di on the side?

For this matter, they think more deeply than the crown princess Zhang Yan.

As the crown princess Zhang Yan said, the monarch and the subjects.

This order is timeless.

It can't be changed.

If the monarch is the head, then the courtier is the arm.

to control the people of the world through their arms.

It's not that the monarch can do whatever he wants.

The truth is simple and simple.

There is no reason to say that Zhu Zhanji's kid doesn't know.

Just like him Zhu Di and Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, they also want to think about the people.

But that's the reality.

In other words, the existing system and system cannot reach this level.

Once there is a change at this point, then the whole system and system will collapse.

But since Zhu Zhanji's kid understands these truths, according to the words of the crown princess, and thinks about these questions so solemnly, what is he going to do?

If it was just the crown princess who said a word or two, maybe he Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi wouldn't think much about it.

But when they related this to these competitions, and in that dynasty began to implement a policy of equal emphasis on civil and military affairs.

Vaguely, the old man Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi felt that Zhu Zhanji's kid was definitely holding something behind his back.

And looking back, the reason why that kid dared to change the imperial examination in the court, as well as the mechanism for the appointment and dismissal of officials.

He did not hesitate to be the enemy of the gentry of the world.

It is precisely because of the fact that it has these competitions behind its back.

He wanted to deepen the connection with the people through these competitions.

After there is a direct connection between the imperial power and the people, then the role of the gentry in the middle will be greatly reduced.

And so it goes.

The imperial court's innovation in the rule of officials can reach an unprecedented height.

Although the old man Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi at this time still couldn't fully understand all the thoughts of Zhu Zhanji's kid.

But they are also sure that Zhu Zhanji's ultimate goal must be to act on the rule of this official.

To put it simply, even if he is Zhu Di, he is so powerful.

But in the matter of the rulers, it is impossible to say that you can do whatever you want.

For example, this imperial examination.

He, Zhu Di, didn't dare to move.

Perhaps after his innovation, there will be no problems in a short time, even during his reign.

After all, he controls the military power of the world.

But this effect is subtle.

He was sure that if he really changed it according to Zhu Zhanji's kid's method, the entire world of scholars would scold him.

Use him as a negative teaching material for readers.

And these readers have just mastered the public opinion of this era.

When the time comes, no one knows what it will turn out to be.

But on the contrary, now that Zhu Zhanji has mastered this method, then he doesn't need to worry about these anymore.

It is possible to use unprecedented means to carry out the reform of the good government of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of these old men Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, their hearts were really mixed at this time.

Zhu Zhanji's kid can think of such a good way to convey his thoughts and intentions to the people of the world through the way of the competition opera.

He was shocked and pleasantly surprised.

But that kid has often done shocking things in the past.

So this kid can think of such a way, although they are shocked and surprised, it is also within the acceptable range.

But now?

After hearing the words of the crown princess, they suddenly understood.

His own kid, he didn't say that he suddenly thought of such an idea on the spot, and then immediately implemented it.

Rather, the final decision is made after all the issues have been carefully considered.

It was after seeing everything clearly, the essence of the imperial court, and the essence of the country that finally broke through the level that could not be achieved by the rule of officials in the past.

This method has changed almost an entire era.

It was on the shoulders of countless emperors of all dynasties that the ceiling of feudal dynasties was broken.

One is because of his talent, a young wizard.

One is a plan that is scheming and starts step by step after seeing through everything.

There is a world of difference between the two.

If these elders can barely maintain their dignity as elders in terms of ability through Zhu Zhanji's youth, lack of much experience, and unsteady behavior.

Now, what Zhu Zhanji has done is to tear off their last fig leaf.

It's like telling them not to talk about being talented, being young.

I do all this with great thought.

It is the embodiment of ability, not the embodiment of talent.

But although they each have an indescribable feeling in their hearts, they also understand that it is their own son and grandson.

The better he is, the happier he should be.

If you blindly want children to be inferior to yourself, then it is a little childish.

At this point, the old man on the side, Zhu Di, saw it best.

After thinking of this, he immediately shook his head and smiled, and said: "The children of our old Zhu family have grown up, and we elders have no reason to be unhappy, and no one can sit on the throne forever." It's just that in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to look at that kid according to our own ideas. ”

"He's better than all of us."

As he spoke, the old man did not say anything more, but slowly stood up alone, and walked out of the scene.

Looking at the old man's movements, the crown princess Zhang Yan on the side suddenly became anxious.

"Daddy, are you leaving? I haven't finished watching this play, so I'm leaving? ”

The crown princess Zhang Yan looked at the stage reluctantly, her face full of dissatisfaction.

But the crown prince Zhu Gaochi on the side smiled and said: "Okay, let's go, since Zhu Zhanji's kid wants everyone in the world to see this opera, there will definitely be many opportunities in the future." Let's go, I'll show you when I'm free. ”

Listening to the words of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the crown princess Zhang Yan could only reluctantly accept this reality.

Although she likes to be lively and playful, she still knows how to be measured.

The old man is gone, and she, who is a daughter-in-law, is still here to watch, where is there such a reason.

In the end, he could only get up with the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, follow the direction of the old man, and walk out of the venue together.

Meanwhile.

In a small attic outside the venue.

As the principals of this competition, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, were not in the mood to watch the opera there.

In their opinion, not all operas are the same.

I was about to vomit when I saw it before, but now I naturally took advantage of this time to hide outside.

In addition, compared to this competition, what made them even more depressed was, where did the old man go?

I thought it was a seamless thing, but in the end it was a failure.

The two of them were very depressed.

But just as the two of them were talking depressed, the third child sitting by the window happened to look at the passage of the venue outside.

I saw a woman and two men, and three people walked out of the room.

I didn't think much of it at first glance, but muttered, "Is it time?" How can it be so fast? ”

But when he looked at it for the second time, he didn't see the two men, but when he saw the lady, the third Zhu Gaosui was suddenly shocked.

"Sister-in-law!"

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, who was sitting in front of the third child Zhu Gaosui, had just tasted a glass of wine, and when he heard the voice of the third child, he asked, "Sister-in-law?" What sister-in-law? ”

But when he raised his head and saw the third child looking out the window, he was also shocked.

Just as he guessed, the third child pointed to the person outside the window and hurriedly urged the second child: "It's Dad, Second Brother, come and see, is that the old man?" ”

Listening to the words of the third child, the second child did not swallow the wine in his mouth, so he immediately got up and ran towards the window.

After taking a closer look at the three people walking outside, the second child did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "That must be the old man!" ”

"I see! The most powerful thing about the spies in Dongchang is this disguise technique, eighty percent of them are old men, they have dressed up, so our brothers didn't see it! ”

Hearing the words of the second child, but when the matter came, the person was in front of him and was about to leave, but the third child didn't know what to do.

"What now?"

Hearing this, the second Zhu Gaoxu only thought for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I go to arrange it now, forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't let Zhu Zhanji's kid see it, let's go, let's go down and meet the old man, at least find out where the old man is now." ”

If the second child made a quick decision, it also made the third child agree very much.

Now if I go to arrange for Zhu Zhanji's kid to meet the old man by chance, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

But since the old man came, they couldn't just let them go.

When the old man was gone, they really couldn't find anyone.

Thinking of this, the brothers didn't dare to delay, even when they got up and chased outside.

Outside the Royal Palace.

After leaving the palace, the old man walked in front of it, but it seemed that he had deliberately slowed down.

And behind him, the crown princess Zhang Yan still couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, you said that we are all here, how good it is to leave after reading it, anyway, there is nothing to do here." ”

Listening to his daughter-in-law's words, the old man in front didn't care at all, just smiled and said, "Who told you that you don't have anything to do?" ”

Just as the crown princess was puzzled, the voices of two people suddenly sounded behind them.

"Daddy!"

Hearing this voice, the old man Zhu Di immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this coming?" ”
