Zhu Youzhu had a joyful smile on his face, his spirit was getting better and better, his mind was clear, and his thinking was active. The whole person is glorious.

I even feel ten or a hundred times stronger than when I was younger.

Even the pain disappeared without a trace, he knew what it was, and he knew that the current time could not be delayed, and every minute and second was incomparably precious.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi did not lie down anymore, but sat up from the couch suddenly like a nobody.

Frightened, the eunuch and the medical officer next to him hurriedly knelt on the ground, and he beckoned to Zhu Houzhao, "Zhao'er, come, come to me." ”

Zhu Houzhao walked quickly to the edge of the collapse, and knelt down in front of Zhu Youji, Emperor Hongzhi stretched out his hand to touch his head, touched his face again, and smiled: "Don't cry, my Zhao'er is an adult, and in the future, I will have to operate the artifact, inherit the ancestors' Jiangshan Sheji, I have no time, I want to explain a few words to you, you listen carefully." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with tears in his eyes, "The child is listening, listening."

"After I die, the funeral is simple, don't waste manpower, and don't alarm the world.

After the emperor ascends the throne, don't learn from me, don't work all day like me, be modest, do what you should do, do what you should do yourself, and leave some irrelevant things to others to do, I don't want you to do anything, what you want to do, what you want to do, what you do, I only let you take care of the foundation of your ancestors, be a king, that's enough. ”

These words, these expectations, Zhu Hou still heard in his ears, and suddenly tears poured out, and it was difficult to hold himself back, so he howled and cried.

Zhu Youzhu just smiled, and then said: "The way to govern lies in a stable word, don't be in a hurry in anything, you have to figure it out slowly, the more anxious you are, the more you will mess up, and the more difficult it is to succeed in the end." ”

"The way of the king, the first thing is to balance, or to win over or suppress, this I can't teach you in a few words, I haven't had time to teach you all these years, I can only rely on Zhao'er to understand it after ascending the throne."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes swelled a little apologetic, he always thought that he still had a lot of time, but he didn't expect this day to come too quickly, he didn't prepare for it, and he didn't have time to teach his son how to be an emperor, this day came.

Now, he can only rely on the emperor's own understanding.

"The ministers I entrusted, Liu Jian is old-fashioned, does not leak in governance, and is conservative, Li Dongyang is strategic, but he is not enough, Xie Qian can speak well, but he is a little unstable, you can rely on these three people, if you don't understand something, you can ask them.

My personal companion Xiao Jing, although he is old now, has gone through several dynasties, and there are indecisive matters in the palace, so he can be summoned for questioning. ”

Zhu Youzhu took a deep breath and continued: "The nobles of the court, the British duke, the Qianguo duke, the Wei Guogong, the Chengguo duke. His ancestors have all made meritorious contributions to my Ming Dynasty, especially the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Qian. Wei Guogong has been in Nanjing for a long time, and Qianguo Gong has a line in Yunnan, you have to treat them well, don't be slow, you have to remember it. ”

Zhu Houzhao choked up and couldn't speak, so he could only nod vigorously.

At this time, Zhu Youjiao's tone became solemn, "There is also the way of the imperial minister, I. That's it. ”

He exhaled, turned his head to look around, looked at Xia Yuan, and then beckoned to him, "Juzheng, you come." ”

Xia Yuan walked over quickly, Zhu Youzhu looked at him, "This attack on the Japanese country, you have made great contributions to the dynasty, the regulations of the country, and the military merits should be knighted, but you are already a marquis at such a young age, if you are suddenly promoted to duke, it is inevitable that you will not have enough qualifications, I don't want to be promoted to the lord with you, do you have any complaints?" ”

"No complaints."

"Okay." Emperor Hongzhi bowed slightly, and looked at Zhu Houzhao again, "After Zhao'er ascends the throne, he should be promoted to the Duke of Changguo on the grounds of his great merit in the Wa Kingdom." ”

"Child, child knows"

Zhu Youzhu smiled again, "The emperor may not understand the meaning of this, I am here to tell you what it means to give favors, and the example of me and Ju Zheng is a bit lame, but now, I don't know how to explain it to you." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded vigorously, "The child understands, the child understands."

"If only you understood." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, "Juzheng and the palace are one heart, and they have a good relationship with you, they are also teachers and friends, and they are also your brother-in-law." When I leave, the relatives in this world, except for your mother, will be your sister-in-law and your brother-in-law.

He is not more than two years older than you, but he is smarter and more alert than you, and he is more stable than you. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Even if the father doesn't say it, the child will." ”

"Okay, that's fine."

Zhu Youzhu felt that his mind was not as clear as before, and he sped up the speed of his speech, "Now that the matter of changing the law has just begun, many people in the world and even in the court are dissatisfied with the change of the law, thinking that this is a chaotic government, I don't know what you think, but remember, the change of the law is a chaotic government, not a chaotic government, it depends on how to do it."

The two of you support each other, steady and steady, but not the opposite.

After I leave, there will be people who will attack the matter of changing the law, you remember, people have selfish intentions, the people have them, the ministers have them, and there is no one in the world who has no selfish intentions, and you can't listen to and believe in it.

You must remember these words, and you must not forget them. ”

"The child will not forget."

"Don't forget." Zhu Youzhu said another sentence, then took a few breaths, felt that everything he wanted to say had been said, turned his head to look at Xiao Jing who was kneeling on the side, and ordered: "Xiao companion, go, call the ministers and meritorious people to come in." ”

Zhu Houzhao was still crying, Zhu Youzhu wiped his tears with his hand, "Don't cry, the ministers are coming in, don't let them see your crying appearance." ”

"Hmm"

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again, barely holding back his tears, and got up to stand aside.

Xiao Jing had already led a group of ministers in, and everyone entered the dormitory with solemn faces, and fell to the ground despite the wetness of their bodies, shouting long live.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent, his eyes swept over everyone, the entire dormitory could not accommodate too many people, and only more than twenty people were able to step into the dormitory, all of them were high-ranking ministers or princes, and some people knelt in the outer ear room.

His gaze crossed these people, as if he wanted to see the minister kneeling in the outer hall through the door curtain, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "Get up, everyone is seated, and the ministers are summoned today to explain something, and the ministers should not be restrained." ”

A eunuch brought chairs, everyone sat down in turn, and Liu Jian asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty's body feels better?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi laughed, "Okay, very good, I was still lying on the couch yesterday, and today you see, isn't it very good?" I can't even feel the pain on my body, so I take this opportunity to explain some things to you. ”
