Hearing the reminder in Zhu Su's words, Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing, his voice was extremely heroic.
"You're preaching to us!" Although the words were disgusting, there was indescribable relief in his tone. "Do we still need to remind you? Those claims about cultivating immortals and refining elixirs are just deceiving the fools in the world. If their skills are reliable and can lead to immortality, why is it that no one in the four seas has mastered their skills for thousands of years, and it has been passed down to the world for a long time? Worldly person?"
"It's just that the world is made possible by humans and gods. If there were no ghosts or gods in the world, humans wouldn't be afraid of them..." Lao Zhu said a sentence in a rare and elegant manner.
"...What do you mean?" Zhu Su scratched his head.
When Lao Zhu heard this, he paused and glared at him. "Ignorant and ignorant! What we mean is that although we don't believe in or fear ghosts and gods, there is still a lot to be done by using the power of ghosts and gods to scare Xiaoxiao."
"That Wang Pu took the opportunity to invite favors, we will beat him when we turn around."
"...Okay." Zhu Su shrank his neck. Since Lao Zhu said this, he can rest assured. As long as the emperor himself does not believe in ghosts and gods too much, moderate use of the power of gods and ghosts can indeed play a role in intimidating Xiaoxiao and leading the trend. Especially in the feudal era, people respected ghosts, gods and ancestors, to a certain extent, more than the imperial power.
In the original history, Lao Zhu also established many city god temples and conferred the title of city god in various places to stabilize the hearts of the local people.
For a rational emperor, everything in the world can be used as a means to govern the country, including ghosts and gods.
Zhu Su was walking, thinking about today's events. When the father and son were about to arrive at the Jinshen Hall, he suddenly felt a shock and remembered the most important blind spot.
"Speaking of which...it's not right."
"I understand why you want to urge me, but... what about Ru Taisu?"
"I had no grievances with this guy in the past, and I have no grievances recently. I have been staying in Zhuangzi and not fighting against the world. Why would he suddenly impeach me?"
"Aloof from the world?" Lao Zhu stopped and gave his son a funny look. "So stupid? Are you really indifferent to the world? Think about it carefully."
Seeing that Zhu Su was still confused, he reminded: "That Ru Taisu is a civil servant that your elder brother respects very much."
"Think again about your identity and what you have done these days. If you still don't understand, then you don't have to understand."
Zhu Su frowned and thought hard. My whole body suddenly trembled, and sweat dropped from my forehead. "They...could they..."
"Are you doubting me and coveting the position of crown prince?"
"Hey, I'm not that stupid." Lao Zhu couldn't deny it. He sat down behind the imperial desk, took the memorial and started to read it.
Zhu Su's face turned pale with fright. In fact, he didn't expect this, he was just a fan of the authorities. Because I was in this mountain, I didn't think about it in this regard.
But if you look at it from the perspective of a third person, how can you, the fifth prince, be said to be indifferent to the world? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is in the limelight.
First, he was placed in the Qianqing Palace by His Majesty the Emperor to recuperate. Where is the Qianqing Palace? The emperor's bedroom! According to the palace system, no one except the emperor and empress was allowed to sleep in the Qianqing Palace.
Even the concubines who were sleeping in Qianqing Palace had to be sent back to their own palaces to sleep peacefully after their sleeping. Never sleep in the Qianqing Palace.
And he, Zhu Su, slept in the Qianqing Palace for several months! Even if Lao Zhu only sleeps in Kunning Palace, he has to make room for Zhu Su!
What does this mean?
Although the actual situation is that Lao Zhu only chose the Qianqing Palace, which was the most heavily protected, as the place to listen to Zhu Su's "storytelling". But in the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly proof that His Majesty the Emperor has a special regard for the fifth prince!
Because of this incident, many officials sent memorials at that time, but they were all suppressed by Lao Zhu. But even so, Zhu Su still heard a little about it in the palace at that time. It can be seen that this incident shocked the officials at that time!
Secondly, His Majesty actually allocated a village to himself, the Fifth Highness, for him to manage in the name of recovering from illness. You know, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to study in the main hall, and after finishing studying, he first goes to the six departments to observe the government. The word "view" is very obvious, and it can be said that it has no real power.
But this Fifth Highness, who didn't even read the Analects of Confucius, was able to manage a Nuo Da Huang Manor, and even sent a dignified prince to train the royal guards for him.
How big a feat is this? If it weren't for His Majesty's preference, why should I, His Highness the King of Wu?
If we talk about the above, it can also be interpreted as that Lao Zhu favors his younger son. That, plus the next one, is completely unexplainable.
Zhu Su's royal title is King Wu. This king's title is very important. Among all the king's titles in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it is the most special one.
Because, before Lao Zhu came to Dabao, the title he wore on his head was "King of Wu"!
With the preference shown by His Majesty recently, coupled with the title of "King of Wu", how could the ministers not think about it?
Coupled with Zhu Su's own "enthusiastic performance": "writing" Linjiang Xian, this was to increase his popularity and accumulate a literary reputation.
Running the Imperial Mansion and training Wang Wei is building a foundation in case it is needed.
Moreover, he had close relationships with King Jingjiang, the Crown Prince of Cao Guo, and others.
He even won over Xu Yungong, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, and Fang Xiaoru, the first scholar of the younger generation.
He also extended his hand to the merchant!
What does he want with so much money and connections?
Build up a team!
He was favored by the emperor, and had the imperial village on the outskirts of Beijing as his territory. He was also closely connected with the Duke of Cao, Duke of Wei, and the Prince of Jingjiang.
What does he want to gain by doing this?
What else could a prince or a prince expect? Then there is only the position of prince! The emperor has ascended the throne!
As the saying goes, if a leaf obscures your vision, you cannot see the forest. Zhu Su didn't realize until this moment that he was so suspicious to outsiders. He suddenly remembered another piece of evidence: He was careless! No wonder Yao Guangxiao suddenly came to find him at that time. It turns out that in the eyes of a third person, this is what I look like!
You should have noticed when the monk came to your door!
No wonder Ru Taisu chased and bit him. The old man was a rotten scholar who studied to death, and he was very close to his eldest brother Zhu Biao. Naturally, I don’t want to see any possibility of abolishing the elders and establishing young ones in Ming Dynasty.
But everything Zhu Su did was done with Lao Zhu's permission, and there was no overstep. Therefore, after finding out that Zhu Su might have entered the Shen family to threaten the good people, Ru Taisu hurriedly filed a petition to participate in the impeachment. He wanted to use his power and responsibility to hear about the incident and get rid of the bottom of the fire to let Lao Zhu take back Zhu Su's right to run the imperial village so that he could continue to do so. Study quietly in the main hall.
Right, all right!
"My father is aware of this! My son does not covet the position of eldest brother!" Zhu Su was frightened and quickly expressed his loyalty to Lao Zhu.
It doesn't matter if others have the faintest suspicion that Lao Zhu wants Yi Chu or Zhu Su wants to seize the direct descendant. Zhu Su himself doesn't dare to feel this way at all. Zhu Biao is the most stable prince in history. There is a saying in later generations that even if Zhu Biao raises an army to remonstrate, Lao Zhu will happily give up the throne to Zhu Biao with a smile. Although this statement is too exaggerated, the stability of Prince Zhu Biao's position in history is also evident.
Coveting Zhu Biao's position as prince? Even if he is also Lao Zhu's son, once Lao Zhu feels that this son is coveting the position of his eldest son, he will definitely be taught a terrible lesson by Lao Zhu!
