Chapter 823: Persuade Song Lian!
Today, Song Lian can already see himself clearly, if you look at Zhu Jun from the perspective of outsiders, he is indeed a talented person, and everything he does is for the people.
In addition to doing business and competing for profits with the people, in his opinion, Zhu Jun seems to be ....... Really well done.
"Weichen thinks that it is a good thing for His Royal Highness the King of Weihai to study, and it should be encouraged.
Although Weichen still doesn't understand why King Weihai is so keen on business, it doesn't prevent him from being a good prince! Song Lian said.
Zhu Yu was stunned, but he didn't expect Song Lian to bow his head and admit his mistake!
He knew that Song Lian had always had certain doubts and doubts about Zhu Jun, but now it seemed that Song Lian had seen the image of him as a businessman who was not just pursuing personal interests.
As for thinking about it, he said patiently: "Master Song can see my sixth brother's efforts and intentions, I am very pleased.
In fact, the contradiction between the merchants and the common people is not irreconcilable.
You see, my father, the emperor, used to suppress businessmen all the time, but now?
Hasn't it changed too?
My sixth brother worked hard to give back to the national court and improve the living conditions of the people while doing business. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yu paused and explained: "How can you study without silver?"
There are too many places where the imperial court wants to use silver, and my sixth brother can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yu glanced at Song Lian deeply, he knew that this gentleman had changed his opinion of Zhu Jun, but he still needed time to accept all this.
Song Lian was silent for a while, and finally spoke again: "What His Highness said is true, but Weichen still has some reservations about His Royal Highness the King of Weihai's previous behavior.
I admit that Weihai King has indeed made positive efforts and contributions in many aspects.
But I hope that he can stick to his original intention and do more tangible things for the country and the people.
Otherwise, he would be the source of unrest."
Zhu Yu listened to Song Lian's words, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Song is reasonable, I understand your concerns.
I know my sixth brother and what he will do, he is not a businessman who only pursues personal interests, but a prince who works for the well-being of the country and Baixin.
Therefore, I hope that Master Song can help him, supervise him, and let him know what he is doing at all times! ”
Song Lian listened to Zhu Yu's answer and nodded slightly.
He knows that it takes time for people to grow and change, and he is willing to give Zhu Jun some opportunities.
But he will continue to monitor Zhu Jun's actions to ensure that he can fulfill his promises and make tangible contributions to the country and the people.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two became relaxed, but with Zhu Yu's words, Song Lian felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Your Royal Highness asked Weichen to supervise the King of Weihai and help the King of Weihai, Weichen....... Why don't you understand something? Song Lian asked.
Zhu Yu said: "Master Song, if one day, I am gone, who will you support?" ”
Song Lian was shocked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhu Yu didn't beat around the bush, "I can't last long with this body, if I'm not there, I want to ask Master Song to support my sixth brother!" ”
Song Lian refused without thinking about it, "This is impossible, since ancient times, the young and the old have been orderly, even if it is the turn, it is impossible for the turn of King Weihai."
Your Highness, is someone threatening you to do this?
Is it the king of Weihai? ”
At this moment, Song Lian's mind was full of all kinds of intrigues.
Zhu Yu shook his head, "No one threatens me, and no one can threaten me, I just want to implore Master Song to assist my sixth brother!" ”
Song Lian was silent, he was extremely shocked in his heart, he said that Zhu Yu called him over, it was impossible to just say this.
He frowned, glanced at Zhu Yu deeply, and then said slowly: "Your Highness, I want to remind you that King Weihai is not the most suitable candidate to inherit the unification.
He doesn't have what you can do.
Even if you are gone, there is still Your Majesty, and the grandson.
Since ancient times, there has been only father to son, not brother to brother.
Even if Weichen nodded, others would not support it.
Your Majesty, you won't be able to pass that level!
That's not something Wechen can do. ”
Zhu Yu smiled slightly, "Master Song, you are an understanding person.
You're right, neither in terms of order nor order, my sixth brother is not the best candidate.
But he's the only person I can trust, someone I can trust.
He has his advantages, he is smart, he is allowed to be literal and martial, he has the means to govern the country and the country, and he can go on a horse to conquer the world.
That's a lot better than me.
And he has popular prestige, prestige.
I am confident that with your help and guidance, he will be a worthy successor. ”
Song Lian stared into Zhu Yu's eyes and felt his sincerity and firmness.
He really didn't understand why His Majesty was still alive and he still had an heir, so he passed on his position to his younger brother.
It's hard to understand.
But even if he couldn't figure it out, Zhu Yu had already made a choice.
As Zhu Yu's cronies and loyal courtiers, he could only try his best to persuade.
Song Lian said solemnly: "Your Highness, I can't agree to this matter, but you still dispelled this thought!" ”
Zhu Yu said: "Master Song, I know that you think about me, but this is my decision, and you also know that I am not a reckless person, this is a decision I made after careful consideration.
Moreover, I believe that my sixth brother is up to the task. ”
Song Lian was unwilling to accept it in his heart, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.
Zhu Yu saw his puzzlement, and said softly: "Master Song, you have always been my right-hand man and the most trusted division commander, I hope you can understand my choice and support me."
I just want you to step up when it counts, and for the rest of the things, I'll sweep them away.
You just need to support him silently, give him guidance and help, so that he can better assume the responsibility of the country in the future. ”
Song Lian lowered his eyes and took a deep breath, "Your Highness, can you tell me why?" What is the reason that you don't even care about your grandson?
What you said above, I understand, a lot of people say that, but ...... Wouldn't this be a disaster for the country? ”
Zhu Yu said with a smile: "Those who are virtuous and capable live in it, it's as simple as that." I'm good, my son is not enough to grasp the overall situation, that's why I let my sixth brother come up! ”
"But, isn't His Royal Highness King Yan bad? If you make such a decision, what will Your Majesty think? What do the other vassal kings think?
Isn't there going to be a big mess in the future? ”
Song Lian was still persuading bitterly, "Please Your Highness, for the sake of the common people in the world, take back your life!" ”
"My fourth brother is not suitable to be this emperor, he has the ability and skill, but he has no mercy, if he becomes the emperor, he will inevitably be reckless, that is not what I want to see!"
