Chapter 7: The Wall

On the way back to the East Palace, Liu Jin talked less than before.

The 'abnormality' of this morning was not in his expectation.

He has also known the urine nature of the foreign minister for so many years, and he has recognized a dead reason, which is not to achieve the goal and vow not to give up.

But how can we explain what happened today?

The crown prince, or the former prince?

Thinking about it, the 'divine soldiers' and all kinds of toys that I used to love to play are now suddenly not interested in anything.

In the past, he was naughty and jumpy, and he couldn't make trouble every day.

Now, quiet and introverted, silent, most of the time a person does his own thing, and he will think about things quietly.

How had he ever seen such a prince?

Until the evening, he was more careful than usual.

The prince didn't seem to care about him, and if he said more, he would respond to him, and if he said less, the prince would let him go.

In the evening the temple was lit with candles,

In this era when there were no electric lights, many things were inconvenient after dark, and even if there were candles, there was not enough light.

Zhu Houzhao is still satisfied today,

Except for the last one who accidentally pit Yang Tinghe.

But I think he's also an open-minded person, so the future Shousuke-sama shouldn't care so much, right?

After his heart was settled, he stood under the eaves of the corridor outside the Chufang Palace, looking at the stars in the sky, and he felt a sense of loneliness.

Although there are people coming and going in the East Palace, and he has dozens or hundreds of people to serve him, many times he seems to be silent by himself.

Fortunately, in his previous life, he was accustomed to being alone, and living in a noisy metropolis was a last resort.

More often than not, he was still thinking, if he could,

Instead of going to work, clocking in, or writing weekly reports, just enjoying time and reading a few books every day, this seems to be called life.

Now, it's barely the same, at least you can get enough sleep, right?

Following

Liu Jin stood at the door and prayed, where the sunlight came in because of the opening, which was in stark contrast to the shadows in the house.

"Your Highness, Li Min asks to see you."

"Li Min?"

Liu Jin replied: "Li Min is Zuo Chunfang's Zuo Yude." That is...... Yang Tinghe's boss. ”

Zhu Houzhao realized.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Not long after, I saw a man in his fifties with a beard that grew to his chest.

He didn't look at himself, and knelt down: "Chen Zuo Chun visited Zuo Yude Li Min to see His Highness." ”

"Mr. Li, please get up. Liu Jin, move a stool to Mr. Li. ”

It's not an overly preferential treatment,

However, he was reluctant to get up, which made Zhu Houzhao a little surprised, so he took a serious look at this person.

"Your Highness, the minister is here today to ask His Highness to surrender his sin."

This was said very suddenly, and it was confusing.

"What is Mr. Lee's crime?"

"The minister is in the position of the left edict, and he has the responsibility of teaching and assisting His Highness, and he also has the duty to control his subordinates. Ran Min, who has not fulfilled his duties, has not been able to give His Highness a word or a word; Second, there is Zuo Zhongyun Yang Tinghe left alone, for some reason to commit a taboo, every time he thinks of this, the minister is really guilty, so he implores His Royal Highness to cure the minister's crime. ”

When he said this, it was relatively easy to understand. But it was really unexpected.

Zhu Houzhao really felt the power of the system for the first time,

It gives everyone a role, whether the role is high or low, and actually has a limit to acting.

It's okay to go over, but it's hard to predict what the consequences will be, even if you are the emperor.

A person, to fight all this, is not something that can be done by talking.

Because the enemy is not some specific person, but an invisible rule.

"Mr. Li, get up first." He was in a daze, and it was not good for a person over fifty to kneel all the time.

He thought to himself, actually...... I already knew that it was very difficult to be a good prince and a good emperor, and I had expected this before, so what is it?

Emperor, order people can.

If the person who receives the order can't do it well, it's okay to kill him.

It's like Emperor Chongzhen, one can't click and replace the next.

But that won't cure the country.

And if the courtiers in the court always don't cooperate with you, you can do everything, but it will involve a lot of energy.

Zhu Houzhao was thinking and didn't speak,

Li Min is also not easy to speak.

"Mr. Li, what year is your fame?"

Li Min was surprised in his heart, and was silent for a long time, and suddenly what was the point?

"The criminal minister is fortunate that Emperor Meng Xian did not give up, and he was the champion of the Jiachen Branch in the twentieth year of Chenghua."

Good guys, champion.

Yude and Zhongyun are really different, and Wang Hua, the right Yude, is also the champion.

"Ten years of hard study is not easy. How many champions have there been in three generations? I can't bear to be relegated to my post easily. Besides, I would like to ask Mr. Li more in the future. ”

Confucianism emphasizes the death of a scholar as a confidant.

Li Min is a beautiful bearded man, and he is also the kind of person who pays special attention to the pomp and circumstance of literati, to put it bluntly, he has been washed through by the sage's academics.

Now he was pleading, but the crown prince was relieved, which really made him feel guilty.

"Your Highness! How can the minister repay His Highness's kindness?! ”

"Nature is to do our duty and serve the country and the people. As for the plea, there is no need to mention it. Then, he asked in a leisurely tone, "Has Yang Tinghe's matter caused criticism?" ”

Li Min replied: "Your Majesty praised His Royal Highness for his filial piety and intelligence, but Yu Yang Tinghe did not pursue this section...... But talking about it outside...... There are also yes. ”

"Since my father doesn't pursue it, Mr. Li, why are you doing this?"

Li Min was a little embarrassed, "...... The minister felt ashamed of His Highness in his heart. ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart,

He will not punish Yang Tinghe, so that it will give people the feeling that the prince will abandon people when he runs out of people, so what does it feel like for others to do things for him in the future?

On the other hand, what would it feel like if the work for him had good results?

Even none of that is mentioned.

It is Yang Ting and this person, Zhu Houzhao also has to find a way to convince him and act according to orders in the future.

But at the same time, he can't defend Yang Tinghe too much in the midst of criticism.

In this way, the yellow mud sticks to the crotch of the pants - it's not, it's.

Even if Li Min went to show Yang Tinghe as his boss, he couldn't say anything.

This is at odds with his intentions,

But it is a necessary compromise,

That's why politics is the art of compromise.

I just don't know if Yang Tinghe can understand his intentions? Want...... Shousuke-sama has a big heart, which should be understandable, right?

In addition, now Li Min doesn't know the prince's intentions, how can a seven-year-old child's mind tell him to guess?

But at present, the officials of the Zhan Mansion are promoted or demoted, and whether they are used or expelled, so they naturally have a reason to ask the prince.

"What should Yang Tinghe do? I would like to ask Your Highness to show me. ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned instantly when he heard this, this question was quite scheming, which was unpleasant!

Especially when he was kind for a long time.

Because this question is difficult to answer.

Answer: Don't dispose of it? Well, the prince actually took the initiative to protect you, so Yang Tinghe will be hated by others.

Answer: Disposition? Okay, the prince wants to dispose of you, what else do you have to say?

Anyway, his boss is determined by Yang Tinghe.

But it can't just be said that Li Min's mind is wrong,

If Zhu Houzhao is replaced, he is estimated to have some moves in his position.

Otherwise, if someone steps on your bottom line, you don't make any moves, won't you come and step on it every day in the future?

It's hard to talk about things in the world.

Zhu Houzhao pushed open the window and fell silent when he looked at the red wall outside.

He walked through a wall of the Forbidden City only to find that outside the wall, there was still a wall.
