Empress Dowager Li's best of both worlds made Zhu Yijun feel a bit whimsical. However, the reason why he thinks so does not depend on whether Gao Pragmatic accepts it or not. The most critical issue is how the foreign court views it.
Gao Luo is Gao Pragmatic's biological son. This is of course clear to the outer court now, but the outer court doesn't know that Gao Luo is not the son of Huang Zhiting, but the biological son of Princess Yongning.
Oh, now the child has been "adopted" to Her Royal Highness Princess Yongning. In theory, it has nothing to do with the Gao family - uh, no, there seems to be something wrong with this matter. It doesn't seem to be said that it has nothing to do with it at all. After all, the child is still The surname is Gao...
Oh, in short, this child will definitely not be able to enter the Gao family's genealogy, at least on the surface. That means that even if his surname is Gao, he is not theoretically a member of the "Xinzheng Gao family". Even if his "biological mother" is Gao Jingshi's wife, because Gao Yuan was born before him, he is not the eldest son and should not have the right to inherit.
In this case, the outer court must feel that why Gao Luo can be on an equal footing with Gao Yuan and get a marquis for nothing? This is not only unfair to Gao Pragmatic himself. He clearly had the opportunity to be promoted to the title of Duke, but inexplicably changed the "promotion based on merit" into "divided into the title based on merit." It is also unfair to his eldest son Gao Yuan.
For Gao Yuan, if my father was promoted to a Duke, it would mean that I would also be a Duke in the future. As a result, my father's promotion was not successful, and the credit was shared with his younger brother. In the end, my younger brother became a Marquis just like me. ——Why, I am obviously the eldest son, and all these things are mine from birth!
Seeing Zhu Yijun frowning and remaining silent for a long time, Queen Mother Li became a little unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Yijun sighed, recounted his worries, and then added: "Mother Mingjian, it was her son's idea to let him have sex with Yao in the first place, and it was out of consideration for compensating Yao. If someone has done something wrong, that person is also my son, not Rixin.
If he still has to use this method to break down his contribution, and he will naturally know the intention with his intelligence, then how can his son have a clear conscience when facing him in the future? "
Listening to the emperor's words, Queen Mother Li's eyes gradually changed from dissatisfaction to pure seriousness. After a while, she shook her head and said: "Thunder and rain are all your kindness. If he is really as smart as you said, then he should accept it calmly." There won’t be any resentment... Emperor, aren’t you worried that he might be dissatisfied with this and create any threats?”
"He will not threaten me, not in this life." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "But Queen Mother, because of this, I cannot ignore this friendship between monarch and minister, let alone let this good story of monarch and minister be passed down through the ages. For the sake of a mere title, it ended up falling apart."
Queen Mother Li frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Are you so sure that he won't do anything to threaten you?"
"Yes, I am convinced."
At this time, Queen Mother Li discovered that Zhu Yijun used "I" to refer to himself in both sentences, instead of the more common "son" or "I". This means that he is now clearly answering as an emperor.
"Hmm..." Empress Dowager Li looked thoughtful and said thoughtfully: "The emperor has been ruling the world for almost 30 years. He has done many great achievements over the years. I think your current judgments should always have your reasons. .
Think back to those days, when the late emperor was young and under the control of the dragon, the Ai family and you were just a pair of orphans and a widowed mother, and had no ability to govern, so they could only rely on the late emperor's old ministers to survive.
Every time he thought about this, the Ai family could not help but rejoice. Fortunately, it was because of the late emperor's knowledge of people and the blessing of his ancestors that the emperor could grow up peacefully and rule the country, and he also received the best education. With the great situation of ZTE today.
In short, the Ai family knows that you know how to be a good emperor, and you have your own set of methods to control your subordinates. Ai Jia just wants to say that Gao Pragmatic has indeed contributed a lot to many major things you have done over the years, and the friendship between him and you is not comparable to that of the second minister...
But because of this, Ai Jia has to remind you: he may indeed be loyal to you, but he is still your subject and the leader of a faction in the court.
Since you are the leader of a group, you must be responsible for the interests of his group, so there will always be times when your interests actually conflict with yours. How to face such a contradiction, whether to hold firm, compromise step by step, or have a frank heart-to-heart discussion with him and discuss a way to get the best of both worlds, this all needs to be decided by the emperor himself. "
It has been many years since Queen Mother Li talked about matters in the DPRK with Zhu Yijun like this, especially when the target is still the most important minister in the DPRK today - none of them are highly pragmatic, and Zhu Yijun cannot but take it seriously.
After hearing these extremely rare and fair words from Empress Dowager Li, the emperor said sincerely: "The empress taught me that my son knows the importance of this matter..."
Then he changed the topic and brought it back to Gao Luo, saying: "My son thinks it is better to discuss Gao Luo's matter directly with Ri Xin. He and I should not have such a charade, because between us We are so familiar with each other: what I did, he knows why; what he did, I also know why. In this case, why not talk about it?"
Empress Dowager Li did not express any opinions this time. She just nodded calmly and said: "As long as the emperor has made a decision."
But after a pause, Queen Mother Li seemed to remember something again, and suddenly asked: "Emperor, do you think the name Gao Luo... has any meaning?"
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "It has the same name as Chang Luo, but there are not many people in the world who are named after 'Luo'. Speaking of which, his children are all named after Sandianshui, which is somewhat similar to our Tian family. Like, but everyone in his family has a single name, um... In fact, it’s common for peers to have similar names.”
"The Ai family is not talking about the issue of three o'clock of water." Queen Mother Li shook her head and said: "Ordinary people may not have any other meaning in naming them 'Luo', but Gao Pragmatism is different. His family has been a member of the Ming Dynasty for many generations, and he himself is still the Ming Dynasty appointed by you. The Ai family does not believe that he is the only six-headed scholar in the imperial court who named his son without meaning."
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but frown slightly now, because the word "Luo" is indeed not an ordinary word. If it is used as a name, it can indeed represent some extraordinary meanings. Moreover, Empress Dowager Li mentioned the "name" so solemnly, which reminded Zhu Yijun of his own childhood...
When Zhu Yijun was a child, the relationship between father and son was very tense because his good grandfather Emperor Jiajing believed in the prophecy that "two dragons will never meet". Zhu Yijun's father, who was King Yu at the time and later Emperor Longqing, gave birth to a child but could not get the emperor's name.
Zhu Yijun didn't get his name until he was five years old, and it was actually not given by the emperor's grandfather, but by his father, King Yu himself - theoretically this is wrong. Before that, Zhu Yijun had always been called "San'er" - he actually had two older brothers in front of him.
Prince Yu's eldest son was named Zhu Yiyi, and his mother, Prince Yu's concubine Li, died at the age of five and gave it to Prince Yu as a gift. In the first year of Longqing, he was given the posthumous title of "Prince Xianhuai"; King Yu's second son was named Zhu Yiling. He died before his first birthday and was presented to King Lantian. In the first year of Longqing, he was posthumously named "King Jingmo".
So to a certain extent, Zhu Yijun was picked up from this world.
But when it comes to the name, King Yu actually later felt that it would be impossible to name his "San'er" when Jiajing remembered it, so he simply chose it by himself. When he named Zhu Yijun, it was obviously different from before. The purpose of the two sons.
"鴴" means "ding", so Jiajing had a purpose in naming his eldest son, King Yu. King Yu was also very excited at that time; "Ling", there is no need to explain this, it does not have much political meaning.
However, Jiajing could name his grandson "鴴", and there would be no problem with the country - "ding" - supporting him. But King Yu dared to name his third son "jun", which has meaning. .
It was already the forty-fourth year of Jiajing. King Yu's only rival on the road to the throne, King Jing, died, and King Jing had no sons alive, so King Yu became the only survivor among the eight sons of Emperor Jiajing. This means that the future throne has fallen into his hands without any suspense.
So, he called "San'er" and said: "I give you a name, Jun. The meaning of this name is that the Holy King controls the world, just like the Jun of the instrument. It is of great significance, you should never forget it."
Zhu Yijun really never forgets it. He still remembers things when he was five years old very clearly.
Similarly, when Zhu Yijun later named his son, he also followed this method of "incorporating meaning".
When his eldest son was born, although Zhu Yijun did not like Concubine Wang Gong, because he was the eldest son and the child was protected by Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun still named him in a relatively fair manner: Zhu Changluo - this is what he just said The reason why Gao Luo "has the same name as Chang Luo".
Luo, Luoshui is also. What are the legends about Luoshui? "Yi Xi Ci Shang" says: "The river produces pictures, Luo produces books, and the sages follow them." It means that the Yellow River produces "pictures", the Luoshui River produces "books", and the "sage" makes hexagrams accordingly.
Legend has it that during the time of the Fuxi clan in ancient times, a dragon and horse emerged from the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang, carrying a "river map" on its back and dedicated it to Fuxi. Fuxi developed Bagua based on this, which later became the source of "Book of Changes". It is also said that during the reign of Emperor Yu, a magical turtle emerged from the Luo River in Luoning County, west Luoyang, carrying "Luo Shu" on its back and dedicated it to Emperor Yu. Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods based on this, and then divided the world into Kyushu.
The world under the Fuxi family was not a family world, but the world after Dayu, who succeeded his father and succeeded his father, became the founder of the family world. Zhu Yijun's sons are all of the generation named "Chang", and the eldest son's name is Luo, which means he is entrusted with "family world".
But... Gao pragmatically named his eldest son "Luo", what does this mean? Zhu Yijun suddenly felt that the question raised by his mother was really worth thinking about.
