Every word Zhu Youluo spoke went straight to the softest part of Zhu Jianshen's heart.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen didn't know how to reply to his son's inquiry, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Youlang, because seeing the humble expectation in Zhu Youlang's eyes, Zhu Jianshen was even more at a loss.
At this moment he was no longer the emperor.
Just a dad.
After a pause, Zhu Jianshen answered Zhu Youfu: "You are my father's first child. How can my father not want you? But you are the son of the Ming Emperor. You shoulder a heavy responsibility. You must fulfill your duties." As your own responsibility, you have to go to North Korea and Annan just like your uncles to protect the land there for your father, the Ming Dynasty, and your ancestors."
At this time, Zhu Jianshen could only use this palest reason to face the torture of his son's soul.
It's an escape.
Although Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty ordered the death of Liu Rong, the deposed prince and his first son, in order to allow Liu Che to ascend the throne smoothly, it was hard to find this cruelty even if he searched through history books. He was indeed a great man who valued the country more than anything else. Heavy.
But there was only one Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the main theme was the tiger's poison but its seeds.
Although Zhu Jianshen said it palely.
But after Zhu Youlang heard this, he suddenly understood that he could give chicken blood and give affirmation, not only for the ministers, but also for the children.
Even though Zhu Youhuang is very smart, he is indeed too young now.
He still doesn't understand what the throne is and what a prince is.
Even he doesn't know that death exists in this world.
What he cares about is why he is not as good as the second child, why he has to give in to him everywhere, why his mother is so cowardly, and he can punish anyone who wants to...
Seeing the joy reappearing in Zhu Youlang's eyes, Zhu Jianshen knew that he had fooled him.
However, Zhu Jianshen was not relaxed.
Because he knows.
Sooner or later, children will grow up one day.
Sooner or later he will understand everything one day...
He is no longer easy to fool, and he will not even tell his father what is in his heart...
Because Zhu Jianshen's three views have long been formed, he has no sense of guilt for doing excessive things to his own father, Zhu Qizhen. But when facing his own children again, Zhu Jianshen is no longer the decisive and decisive person. The emperor.
He didn't want his children to fight with each other, and he didn't want to keep someone under surveillance like he treated outsiders.
But at this time, Zhu Jianshen knew very well that even if he didn't want to, he had to do it.
Royal things are so cruel...
After Zhu Youhuang left Qianqing Palace, he was sent to Nangong by Zhao Huanong to find his imperial grandfather.
In Nangong, Zhu Youhuang became that child without scheming again.
And Zhu Qizhen has also become a good grandfather with a stalwart image in the eyes of his grandson...
Happy days are always short-lived, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.
The night before departure from Zhuqi Town.
Zhu Jianshen personally went to Nangong to see the Emperor off.
And it was the first time Zhu Jianshen had a meal with Zhu Qizhen in Nangong. When Zhu Jianshen picked up the wine glass and said, "Father, how about we have a drink together?"
When Zhu Qizhen, who was eating, heard this, he immediately dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground. He was full of surprise and looked at the emperor who was not far away from him in disbelief.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
My son has never had a meal with me.
This time I drank.
This frightened Zhu Qizhen.
I couldn't help but think wildly.
Could it be a farewell drink.
After leaving the capital this time, I will never come back.
Does he want to take action?
It's impossible. Now that I don't pose much of a threat to him, why should I be accused of killing my father for no reason?
Looking at Zhu Qizhen, his face was filled with shock.
Zhu Jianshen also reacted immediately. It seemed that his actions scared the emperor.
"Father, don't be alarmed. It's just a simple drink. There is no other deep meaning."
"Haha, what's the meaning? It depends on what you said." Zhu Qizhen replied with a smile, and picked up the wine glass, clinking it with Zhu Jianshen and drinking.
And Zhu Jianshen also drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the glass of wine, Zhu Jianshen asked: "Father, have you ever regretted it..."
"Regret? What is regret?"
"I regret that I ignored the objections of the ministers and insisted on marching in person, which resulted in the throne being passed to me..."
After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen put down his wine glass and thought about what he had experienced over the years, and his heart was turned upside down.
How can I not regret it?
I regret so much that my intestines are blue...
"I don't regret it. You, the emperor, have done better than me. How could I regret it..." After saying this, Zhu Qizhen laughed dryly again.
Zhu Jianshen kept looking at Zhu Qizhen. He already knew the answer in his heart and did not expose it to him.
The next day, early morning.
It's still dark.
Zhu Qizhen got up early and said goodbye to his wife, the Queen Mother Qian. Before leaving, he comforted his wife: "Don't worry, I will be back soon. This time I am going to worship my ancestors. Taizu Gao The emperor's spirit in heaven should really want to see my descendant."
If it had been anyone else, he would have almost lost the inheritance that his ancestors had won through hundreds of battles, and they would have been shameless in meeting their ancestors.
But Zhu Qizhen was no different. He had different ideas. He didn't feel embarrassed. He even thought that his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive in heaven. He should be very pleased to see him being so filial.
Outside the gate of Nangong Palace, there were already hundreds of Jinyi guards and a dozen people from Dongchang waiting. These people were all wearing casual clothes, but they all had weapons on their waists.
These people waited for a while.
The palace door of Nangong was slowly opened.
Several carriages, driven by people from the East Factory, slowly walked out of Nangong.
Among these carriages, the most spacious and luxurious one was Zhu Qizhen's.
This was the first time Zhu Qizhen came out after entering Nangong.
He looked out at the strange world through the window of the carriage...
I, Zhu Qizhen, have come out, I have come out...
…………
Yunnan, Kunming City.
Among the official posts.
Liu Qingzong, who replaced Wang Miao, sat on a chair in the lobby, closing his eyes and relaxing.
He was still wearing his shabby green official uniform.
On the table in front of him, there are more than a dozen letters, which are all summaries of officials who went out to inspect.
Liu Qingzong stayed in the three southwestern provinces for a year, and he implemented the court's benevolent government very thoroughly, and also achieved tangible benefits for the people who were deeply affected by the war.
During this year, Liu Qingzong visited 32 counties in three provinces and wrote 65 memorials to impeach local officials for their inaction.
But Liu Qingzong was too stubborn. In order to implement the court's policy of appeasing the people, he pushed local officials to the limit. In one year, three county magistrates were hanged in the county government office...
When they died, they left suicide notes one after another, blaming the cruel official Liu Qingzong for pressing on them step by step and forcing them to death.
This also gave Liu Qingzong a title among officials in the three southwest provinces, executioner, butcher...
However, there was no fluctuation in Liu Qingzong's heart.
If you don't force the officials, you will suffer the people. You always have to make a choice. It is not known whether the three county magistrates who were hanged died themselves. Therefore, Liu Qingzong did not feel any guilt at all...
