Li Qing couldn't help but look pleased after learning the result.
This is the only emperor after Zhu Zhanji who made him shine!
And judging from his acting style alone, Zhu Jianshen is obviously better than Zhu Zhanji. Of course, this is also related to Zhu Jianshen's too weak strength.
Zhu Zhanji was the eldest son and eldest grandson. The two emperors taught him hand by hand, with generous resources and constant support. Zhu Zhanji gradually took over the military power before he even ascended the throne.
It can be said that once Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he became the real emperor!
Because Zhu Zhanji's "power" is very terrifying, when Zhu Di was still on the throne, everyone knew that the grandson would definitely take over in the future. With the blessing of this "power", Zhu Zhanji saved a lot of efforts to gather Time wasted by power.
This is also the fundamental reason why he has done so many things in his ten years in office.
Although the Xuande Dynasty was not as spectacular as it was before, it is no exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty was in the shape of Zhu Zhanji.
Whether it is delegating power to the cabinet, teaching eunuchs to read, or setting up governors, officials and censors to supervise local areas... the power structure of the Ming Dynasty was formulated by Zhu Zhanji, and this power structure will continue.
But Zhu Jianshen can't compare to him, and it's hard to catch up with him.
It's not that he doesn't have Zhu Zhanji's ability, it's that he doesn't have Zhu Zhanji's good fortune.
He is the eldest son and grandson, but what about him? He is a bastard, and his mother is not welcome yet.
He began to assume military power before ascending the throne, what about him? Once you ascend the throne and want to be in power, you have to be secretive and coy. That's all, you still have to look at people's faces.
The emperor's grandfather loves him, the prince's father loves him, but what about him? Before he could remember anything, his father beat dogs with meat buns. Although his second uncle did not harm him, he did not allow him to contact the government in advance;
Now that I have finally ascended to the throne, the meat bun is back again. What the hell is this luck?

"Damn... Isn't this too miserable for me?" Zhu Jianshen punched Yuan and cursed, "Forget about the problems of the original family, marrying a daughter-in-law is calculated, and the woman he likes can't even have a status. , what kind of fucking bullshit is this?"
"call……"
Zhu Jianshen let out a long breath of depression. After calming down, he organized his thoughts and began to make plans for the follow-up.
First of all, there is the choice of queen.
A majestic king of a country cannot do without a queen, and the queen's position cannot be left hanging for a long time, otherwise who knows what drama will be staged?
It would be a waste of time to re-draft, and Zhu Jianshen didn't want to draft in the short term, so he set his sights on Wang and Bai.
Zhu Jianshen liked Wan Zhen'er, but he just wanted to give her a status. The queen of the Ming Dynasty could not be Wan Zhen'er. Regardless of her identity, her age alone was an insurmountable gap.
It's his business to like a woman seventeen years older than him; but it's Ming Dynasty's business to make a woman seventeen years older than him a queen.
Zhu Jianshen clearly understands the importance.
He can and is willing to give Wan Zhen'er the most favor, but he cannot give her the most noble status because he is the emperor.
He loves beauty, and he loves country even more!
Wang family or Bai family... Zhu Jianshen was a little undecided.
Wang's background is better, her temperament is worthy of a big job, she is gentle and graceful, and she is talented. Moreover, she is a noble concubine, so it is natural for her to go further.
Relatively speaking, the Bai family is quite different, whether it is origin or temperament. Of course, these two are one and the same thing.
But there is one thing about Bai's that Wang's can't compare to. She is more... plump and joyful in bed...
"Ahem, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Jianshen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then sighed again: "Let's ask the mother for her opinion first, um... I guess all the officials will also chime in; ugh... it's really difficult, even the head wife can't do it. host."
He felt bitter in his heart, and at the same time, he became more determined to gain power.
"I can't be the master of this, and I can't be the master of that. Is the emperor still the emperor? Even if he has many good strategies for governing the country, how can he use his heart?" Zhu Jian said with deep hatred, "I have accepted this imperial power, and Li Qing also Can't stop it..."

Kunning Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhou, who sympathized with the Wu family, had to consider the matter of canonizing the queen. This was related to the dignity of the royal family and the emperor's face, so she naturally wanted to protect it.
"Xiao Wang is more suitable." Empress Dowager Zhou pondered. "Regardless of her background, she is more in line with the queen's temperament. Xiao Bai is too reserved and weak, with a submissive temperament... Xiao Wang is better."
Zhu Jianshen frowned and said: "But she is from Nanzhili, which is also the center of political power, second only to the capital..."
"Hey~ So why does it matter?" Empress Dowager Zhou held a different view, "South Zhili cannot affect the capital, so even if it is somewhat involved, it doesn't matter. The queen herself who is the mother of the world is the most important. Don't give up eating because of choking."
After a pause, he added: "The queen has just been deposed, and a new one will be appointed, which will cause discussion. Obviously Xiao Wang is more suitable, but if you favor Xiao Bai, will the officials make you happy?
You have just ascended the throne, and winning people's hearts is your top priority. You like beautiful women, and there will be more of them in the future..."
Barabara...
Zhu Jianshen was a little conflicted. Now he felt like he had been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He couldn't believe Wang.
Nanzhili is known as a small court, and Zhu Jianshen had to be on guard.
But having said that, what the Queen Mother said was not wrong. During this period, she had already been at odds with Baiguan due to the Wu family's affairs. Now the other party is picking problems, and the decisive battle on the grassland is coming to an end...
Zhu Jianshen sighed helplessly and said, "Then just listen to your mother."
Then, he said tentatively: "Queen Mother, I want to give Zhen'er her... a title..."
"No." Queen Mother Zhou shook her head, "This is not negotiable."
One day, I will no longer discuss with anyone, nor will I look at anyone's face... Zhu Jianshen nodded silently, stood up and said: "I still have official business to be busy with, so I have to go to the imperial study room first. By the way, the canonization matter has been decided. In these few days."
"Well, Your Majesty, please walk slowly." Empress Dowager Zhou nodded.
…
Three days later, the Ming Dynasty appointed a queen again.
However, compared to Zhu Jianshen's last wedding, the lavish ceremony was obviously much smaller, but it was also quite cumbersome. Li Qing heard that there would be no dinner, so he simply did not attend.
The appointment of the new queen greatly reduced the turmoil after the abolition. Within two days, no one was talking about the abolition.
After all, most people focus on their own interests. As for the conversation after dinner...that is, it is just entertainment. After all, they have to return to the normal pace of life.
Shi Heng has been very depressed during this period. He is really old. Now he just wants to take care of himself at home. If there is a war, he will grit his teeth and survive, but he will not fight...
He doesn't want to go!
But some people want him to go, many people do.
Because Shi Heng's death would have the least impact on their interests.
Shi Heng didn't want to go, but couldn't refuse openly, so he had to ask Li Qing for help, "Sir, you have to help me, those turtles and grandsons have no good intentions."
"You don't want to go?"
"I definitely don't want to!" Shi Heng smiled bitterly, "If fighting is okay, then running errands... I don't want to do it."
Shi Heng cursed: "I am an old man, and I can get a good reputation even if I die on the battlefield. It would be so embarrassing if I die on the way to and from the grassland."
"...Your health is not that bad." Li Qing said with a smile, "You will be exhausted after a long trip."
"Sir...you want me to go too?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment and nodded: "We say we won't fight, but we can't guarantee that we won't be able to fight. There are still risks, but... I can help you."
"Then if you become the supervisor, I think I can do it." Shi Heng's attitude was obviously different, and he even began to long for...
For many years, Shi Heng has been thinking about and dreaming of having Li Qing become his supervisor.
Without him, it’s so impressive!
Although Li Qing has kept a low profile in recent years, with the accumulation of orthodoxy and Jingtai, his invisible power is unparalleled.
Although the ministers could not stand it, and even envied Li Qing, no one had ever looked down upon Li Qing. Not to mention other things, just his ability to bring order out of chaos during the dynasty was enough to make people jealous.
A behemoth like Sanyang was indirectly defeated by Li Qing. This record... is really impressive!
Based on this, the court bosses would not offend Li Qing if they could, but the main thing was that they couldn't hold him back if he was offended.
Li Qing has no power, but he has a terrifying power. Everyone knows how powerful he is and recognizes his ability. They have no confidence in defeating him. As time goes by, they naturally don't want to and don't dare to confront him.
Letting Li Qing be his deputy would be a face-saving thing!
"Do you want to do it or not?" Shi Heng asked, rubbing his hands.
"...How about I find you a deputy?" Li Qing said, "I promise to help you."
"I recognize you." Shi Heng said.
Li Qing shook his head: "I can't go all the way to the grassland. The current situation in the court is not stable. I have to watch from the capital."
"Come on." Shi Heng teased, "I don't see what you do anymore. You stay at home all day long, like an old girl."
Li Qing laughed: "That's because I'm still here. I'm going to the grassland. Some people may not be so honest."
"...Okay." Shi Heng sighed in disappointment and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I wanted you to help make peace with me, but I won't go if you can, but in the end...you are just like them."
"By the way, who is the helper?"
"He Yong!" Li Qing said.
"Him? Well...it's indeed suitable, but isn't he in Liaodong?"
Li Qing stretched himself and said, "I asked the emperor to urgently summon him back to the capital a few years ago. I estimate that he will be able to come back in about ten days at most."
"Okay." Shi Heng said helplessly, "Even you said so. It seems that I can't do it if I don't go this time. It's really... the new emperor obviously wants to cultivate his own power, and one or two of them pushed me to do it. Shield, alas, I’m convinced too.”
"Just once." Li Qing said, "After you come back, you can refuse on the grounds of physical discomfort. There will be no big problems the first time, and the risks in the future will be greatly reduced."
Shi Heng nodded slowly and asked, "Sir, how many years do you think the introduction of the grassland tribes can last?"
"Two years at a time, or even two or three times a year." Li Qing sighed, "That's all. As the war subsides, as long as they can survive, more people are still unwilling to leave their homes and want to completely promote the relationship. The unification of internal and external affairs takes too long!”
