The Imperial Garden, a depression.

The son walks with his father, talking about homely things, and the father is kind and filial to the son.

"It's been almost five or nine days, and it's still so cold."

"The son helped his father and the emperor back to the palace."

"No, it's rare to have a good day, and then let's go." Zhu Youzhu said with a smile, "Mr. Li said that it is good for the body for my father to walk more. ”

"Hey, let's go again." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and inadvertently found that the hair on his father's sideburns and the back of his head was becoming more and more gray, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose and looked away.

Father Ci was very sensitive, and chuckled: "Don't worry, Father's health is not so bad. ”

After a pause, he said: "As long as you are good and the Ming Dynasty is well, my father will go, and there will be no regrets." ”

With pride and pride on his face, the loving father smiled and said, "Although I am average, I can't stand up to my son's excellence!" ”

"Erchen ......" Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and said, "I will work hard to be a good emperor and not disappoint my father." ”

"Father has faith in you." Zhu Youzhu nodded, and added: "Don't work too hard, combine work and rest, and pay attention to your body." ”

"yes, it will." Zhu Houzhao smiled, smiling reluctantly.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhu raised his hand and patted his son's hand holding his arm, with his father's satisfaction with his son's growth, and his father's distress for his son, and said softly:

"Take your time, don't burden yourself too much, the years will pay off."

"Well, Erchen understands." Zhu Houzhao helped his father tighten his head, looked up at the bleak garden, took a breath, and said, "Father, the wind is blowing, let's go back to the palace to rest, son...... I'm going to go on official business. ”

"Okay." Zhu Youzhu laughed and quipped, "It's my father who is not sensible." ”

"What's the matter, my father said this, how can my sons deal with themselves?"

"Just kidding." Zhu Youzhu was in a very good mood, and he felt that this bleak garden had a burst of vitality, "You go and get busy, and my father will stay for a while." ”

"That'...... All right. Zhu Houzhao advised, "You can't stay too long." ”

"yes, okay." Zhu Youzhu nodded obediently, quite a sense of treating his son as the head of the family, "Listen to you." ”

Zhu Houzhao bowed, "Erchen retired." ”

It happened that Li Qing came over, but Zhu Houzhao didn't give Li Qing a chance to say hello, and the two passed by.

"Why did the Emperor come out?" Li Qing stepped forward slowly and greeted naturally.

"That's not what you said, walking around more is good for your body." Zhu Youzhu slowly walked to the retaining wall of the flower garden, and the eunuch who followed hurriedly put the chair in his hand in advance.

Zhu Youzhu stepped forward to sit down and beckoned, "Mr. come and sit too." ”

There was only one chair, but Li Qing was in good shape, so he sat on the side of the retaining wall.

"Got a conflict with the thick photos?" Zhu Youzhu asked with a smile, just like the tone of an ordinary family's father chatting with his son's teacher.

There is no sense of blame, only reconciliation.

"Thick and stubborn, sometimes emotionally it is a tendon, but most of them don't hold grudges, and it's okay to pass." Zhu Youzhu said, "Houzhao is not the kind of bear child who does not distinguish between right and wrong, give him a little time." ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed: "When I was young, I also thought that I could do the same as the first emperor, but I didn't know until I became an emperor...... Alas, the eyes are high! ”

"The emperor is also a human being, he went to this dress, and there is not much difference from ordinary people, Houzhao is a person born in the fourth year of Hongzhi, and now it is only the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, speaking of which, he is not fake, but he is also a fifteen-year-old boy." Zhu Youzhu smiled warmly, "Mr. Zhizhi has something extraordinary in his chest, but don't ask him too high standards." ”

Yes, I just turned 14 years old, and I'm still a junior high school student...... Li Qing sighed secretly.

Zhu Youjiao's eyes were soft, with anticipation, "I hope that Mr. can take more care and put more effort into it, he is smarter than my father, and I believe that he is better than me." ”

Li Qing nodded lightly and squeezed out a smile: "The Lu of the Eater is worried about the monarch, and the Emperor Taishang can rest assured." ”

"Well, then I'm relieved." Zhu Youzhang's tone was brisk, "It's going to be the New Year soon, Mr. hasn't caught up with the New Year's fair yet, right?" ”

"Nope." Li Qing also talked about homely, "Mr. Li bought a lot of New Year's goods, and I just touched them." ”

"It seems that Mr. and Yongqinghou get along very well."

"It's a pleasure." Li Qing admitted frankly.

Zhu Youzhu nodded, did not continue to ask, and sighed instead:

"In this life, there will be no things going well, there will always be all kinds of things that are unexpected, breaking the assumption, but the sewing and mending are made, and I feel that it is not so bad, the hard work is a little hard, but if you really say regret, there is not much."

"It's hard to mend the seams, but the satisfaction you get can soothe the tiredness." Li Qing chuckled and nodded.

The two of them talk casually, stop at the point, and don't talk deeply, which is quite interesting.

…

In the Qianqing Palace, after acupuncture for Zhu Youjiao, Li Qing turned around and went to the imperial study......

"Xuan."

Zhu Houzhao's voice came from the hall, not angry, and his voice was calm.

Li Qing walked in, "Weichen see the emperor's ......"

"No courtesy." Zhu Houzhao said lightly, as if yesterday's events had been turned over, and after writing down the reply, he raised his head and said, "Sit down." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly moved the chair, put it opposite the imperial book case, and retreated with great discernment.

Li Qing pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked, "Are you in a better mood?" ”

"I am not a cautious person." Zhu Houzhao said lightly, "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can I not think about the Ming Dynasty?" But ......"

Zhu Houzhao's expression was serious, and his tone was firm: "In the end, the development of industry and commerce will end, and the Ming Dynasty will die!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Qing disagreed, "The development of industry and commerce will affect the imperial power in the end, but it is far from the death of the country, but if it is perverse, it will ......."

After a pause, Li Qing patched: "Perverse does not mean that the emperor is exercising harsh governance, but going against the current." ”

"You haven't heard anything good when you speak, I'm used to it, I don't need to do this." Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and said, "Go on." ”

Li Qing nodded: "The strength of the Han Dynasty, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the world praises it, but the Han and Tang Guozuo are not infinitely long, right?"

It has been one hundred and thirty-eight years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, one hundred and thirty-eight years, ah......"

Li Qing's face was filled with joy and pride, "Han Zhiqiang, Tang Zhisheng, one hundred and thirty-eight years after the founding of the country, can there be a Ming Dynasty?" ”

"I don't." Zhu Houzhao shook his head.

Suddenly pride welled up in his heart.

Yes, since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, in all dynasties, which dynasty can compare to the Ming Dynasty after one hundred and thirty-eight years?

Thousands of generations are just a slogan, and the emperors of all dynasties know that this is just an ideal, even a fantasy.

"The climatic conditions of the Ming Dynasty are far inferior to those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the population far exceeds that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"Why?"

"Because the times are advancing!" Li Qingdao, "The current development trend, accepted by everyone, proves that it is right, doesn't it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless.

"I know you're wronged, but ...... Who are you to be wronged? Li Qing sighed tiredly, "Taizu suffered like that when he was young, and then the incident was precarious, is he wronged?"

Jianwen cut the domain, Taizong was forced to pretend to be crazy and stupid, sacrificed his three sons, and said that the emperor did not dare to slack off in his life, is he wronged?

Renxuan Erzong is conscientious and conscientious, and he has become ill from hard work, and the father and son have only been in the two dynasties for more than ten years, are they wronged?

Zhongzong was forced to be the emperor and died young, is he wronged?

Xianzong eliminated disadvantages and innovated, and worked hard to make the country prosperous, but in exchange for the complaints of his subordinates, is he wronged?

Your father has always been diligent and benevolent, but all you see is weakness, are you wronged? ”

Li Qing said in a deep voice: "Even the orthodox emperor is not as unbearable as you imagined, he has great faults, but there are also merits!"

Including Jianwen, you saw the harm of the vassal king to the imperial court, but the feudal king at that time was even more harmful to the imperial court. ”

"Whew~!" Li Qing exhaled a long breath of turbidity and asked, "Now!" Please tell me, what do you have to be wronged!? ”

"I ......" Zhu Houzhao's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.

Li Qing said coldly: "You think it's difficult for you, but who is easy?"

You feel that no one understands your suffering, but do you ever understand the suffering of others? ”

"I ...... I'm just a little ...... Some ......" Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and stammered, and at the end, he almost broke down emotionally: "My eyes are high, I am young and vigorous, I don't know how to ......!" ”

Li Qing calmed down his agitated mood and said slowly: "When I say this, I don't want to force you to admit your mistakes, but I just want you to know that your grievances and difficulties are so insignificant in the eyes of others, do you ...... Expect everyone to be considerate of you? ”

"You're praying for mercy, you know?" Li Qing sneered.

After a fierce medicine, Li Qing calmed down and said, "It's hard to speak, the emperor will take care of it." ”

It took Zhu Houzhao a long time to calm down his violently fluctuating heart, and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, I can bear it." ”

"The Emperor's Volume." Li Qing arched his hand and said: "The New Year is approaching, and it will be the first year of Zhengde in a short time, about the new policy of Zhengde...... I hope the emperor will think more and think twice before acting. ”

"I understand." Zhu Houzhao said slowly, "I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the father of my subjects, how can I think of killing my people?" ”

"I have never doubted the emperor's original intentions!" Li Qing said.

Perhaps because he was often scolded, listening to Li Qing say this, Zhu Houzhao was moved by understanding.

He raised his eyes to look at Li Qing, and suddenly had an illusion, as if he ...... The man in front of him is the most aggrieved!

After adjusting his mood, Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled and said:

"The past is gone, from now on, start again! By the way, Mr. won't take it to heart, will he? ”

“…… No. Li Qing bowed his head, "The prodigal son will not change his money, let alone the emperor, and the emperor has not yet made any moves to endanger the Ming Dynasty." ”

"That's good." Zhu Houzhao nodded and chuckled: "I suddenly felt that Liu Jin had an idea that was feasible. ”

"What?"

"Those who steal and cheat, deduct the corresponding money!"

Li Qing: "......"
