Chapter 1527: The Deep Emperor
The sun was shining brightly, and there were still people coming and going in Beiping City.
The former master of the empire is gone, and after mourning, life goes on.
"People are forgetful, they will cheer for victory, they will cheer for long live, but people die like a lamp goes out, look, everyone has a smile on their face again, they have forgotten the first emperor."
"Didn't you forget?"
"No, I will never forget the first emperor. It was a period of turbulent times. When I think of these years, I can't forget the first emperor who played the role of the mainstay."
"I forgot."
Xu Jingchang said shyly: "I won't hide it from you, the old mother at home is going to go, your majesty sent me to accompany the killing field, I have already forgotten."
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty?"
"Not afraid."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "You, Fang Xing, are not that kind of person. Besides...you should also know that most people have already forgotten the late emperor. You just remember the kindness that the late emperor treated you, so you never forget it."
"The first emperor was not only good to me, he was good to many people."
Fang Xing sighed and said: "Look at today's Ming Dynasty, benevolent government is everywhere, and people are cheering, but governing the country is not just about benevolent government, if benevolent people are invincible, then there will not be so many disputes and killings."
"Benevolent governance has nothing to do with me."
Xu Jingchang changed the subject and said: "You can't rush the gold and silver mines you said. Just think about it. Your Majesty just came to the throne, and suddenly a series of benevolent policies were introduced. Stopping the treasure ship to sail to the West is also a benevolent policy! Stop suddenly, brother, I am worried. His Majesty will let you go overseas for the rest of your life."
"Hey! Your progress is not small! You can see so many things."
Fang Xing said in surprise, he felt that Xu Jingchang seemed to be a different person.
"You are not possessed by a thousand-year-old ghost, are you?"
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes and said: "After my mother left, it happened that my majesty took off my crown belt. You also saw it at that time. The family is cold and sad!"
"From then on, I knew that this friendship was unreliable, and everyone was wise and safe."
Xu Jingchang said bitterly: "I have missed me, Xu Jingchang, for so many years. My late father died for the sake of the late emperor before the city of Jinling was destroyed. I know that I am a libertine, but your majesty is using me to attack me. This is taking me, Duke Ding The title is trampling in the mud! If I don't wake up, sooner or later I will be obliterated."
"I want to disappear into obscurity, but..."
At this time, they have already arrived outside the palace, please see them.
During the waiting time, Xu Jingchang whispered: "I heard that those two courtiers are highly valued by His Majesty!"
"who?"
"That lunatic who learned from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and that Zhang Mao."
Chengchen, this is not Xu Jingchang's nonsense, not only Wu Xun thinks they are courtiers, but also many civil servants.
"Most of the civil servants are envious and jealous. If they change positions, they are guaranteed to be happy."
Later, the two entered the palace and went all the way to Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty."
To come here to plead guilty before the filial piety period has passed is a very sincere attitude, but it is suspected of offending the king.
The fat on Zhu Gaochi's face trembled, he rubbed the paperweight and said, "I hope that my relatives can rest with the country, but I hope you can make more progress..."
Xu Jingchang's body trembled slightly, as if he was afraid.
"Hey! The Xu family is originally a relative of the state. We must set an example, less domineering, less drinking and having fun, and less... occupying the fields. Only in this way can we become the backbone of the country."
Seeing Xu Jingchang trembling, Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Everyone is fine, go, An Sheng stays at home and keeps his filial piety."
When Xu Jingchang got up, tears were streaming down his face, and then he resigned with gratitude.
They are all good actors!
Zhu Gaochi turned his gaze and asked Fang Xing, "Why are you here?"
These words sounded a bit cold, Fang Xing cupped his hands and said, "I...don't want Daming to stop, there are countless mines and fertile fields overseas, and Daming shouldn't leave these behind."
Zhu Gaochi stroked the paperweight, and said calmly: "But there will be conquests, countless conquests, and the Ming Dynasty has not stopped conquests since the founding of the country. Now is the time to recuperate."
Fang Xing looked up,
Sincerely said: "Your Majesty, you can't stop, if you stop, you won't be able to get up again! If you don't go for a few years, those people will turn their backs, and they will despise Daming..."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and Fang Xing seemed to see Zhu Di's shadow at this moment.
"what are you worried about?"
"Chen..." Fang Xing couldn't answer, it would be slanderous.
Zhu Gaochi stroked the paperweight, and said slowly: "You are worried about Confucianism!"
Boom!
The sun was shining brightly outside, but Fang Xing felt a thunderbolt crashing down on his head. He smiled wryly, "Yes."
Zhu Gaochi's body moved a bit, and the solid throne creaked. He sighed and said, "You are worried that once the warrior is lonely... he will be devastated, and you are worried that they will hold down the warrior."
Fang Xing said calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty, they hope to control Da Ming, the kind of control that no one can compete with."
"Why!"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Liang Zhong and Huang Yan in the hall, and said: "The Ming Dynasty has no foreign troubles, and the people should rest. You can go."
Fang Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, civil and martial arts must not be neglected, minister..."
Zhu Gaochi stroked the paperweight, and said lightly: "Go, let's rest."
Fang Xing had no choice but to leave.
The hall fell silent, and Zhu Gaochi did not deal with political affairs, but looked out of the hall in a daze.
Liang Zhong stood with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
After Huang Yan rolled his eyes wildly for a while, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, slave..."
Zhu Gaochi glanced at him indifferently, and then said: "If half a sentence of what Xing Hebo said today is leaked out, die! Three clans!"
Sweat instantly appeared on Huang Yan's face, and he tremblingly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, he felt that the person sitting there was not Zhu Gaochi, but Zhu Di!
Yes, Liang Zhong also thought that Zhu Di was resurrected.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes were cold, and he said faintly: "If you don't lose your ministers, I want the Ming Dynasty to last forever, so...the damned person...will definitely die!"
There was a lot of ice in the hall, and the temperature was pleasant, but Huang Yan's body was almost drenched in cold sweat.
He glanced at Liang Zhong, who was looking at him with a sneer.
Liang Zhong and Fang Xing have a good relationship, everyone knows this, so if it leaks out, it must be Huang Yan's fault.
Later, Zhu Gaochi asked someone to help him up, and murmured: "I have to go for a walk in the garden every day, hey! Where's Wanwan?"
Liang Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the princess doesn't go out much these days, she just stays in her own place, I heard that she is a little gloomy."
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Go, let Wanwan come."
In the garden, when Wanwan arrived, she saw Zhu Gaochi being supported by two eunuchs, and there was someone behind him holding a big umbrella and staggering.
"Royal father."
Zhu Gaochi turned his head back with difficulty, and said, "Come here, Wanwan."
Wanwan walked in front of Zhu Gaochi, frowned and said, "Father, you should move around more, and, in the future, you should eat less meat, eat less..."
Zhu Gaochi said kindly: "Wanwan hasn't eaten with Weifu for a long time, let's go tonight, let's go together tonight, you order."
Wanwan happily said: "Okay! Father, let's have hot pot for dinner, it's all vegetables."
Zhu Gaochi said with a bitter face: "Okay, okay! According to you! According to you!"
"Father, you didn't take a walk this morning."
"Uh... for my father... I will start walking tomorrow."
"Then why don't you eat less for dinner?"
"Well...but...well..."
