Chapter 645: I wish it were the same as before

The punished eunuch was about to plead for mercy when he was slapped by his companion, so he immediately calmed down.

At this time, there was movement outside, and everyone who was delivering the order unconsciously looked outside and saw a sedan being carried into the carrier gate.

"It's Princess Xiang!" the leading eunuch said in a low voice.

Sure enough, Baochai walked out of the sedan with the support of several maids.

Zhu Jinghong is grounded, but she is not restricted and can still enter and leave the palace freely, but she rarely goes out in recent days.

Now that the situation is getting worse, Baochai realizes what he should do.

She originally planned to see the Queen today, but she was unable to go because the Queen was recovering from illness, so she chose to go to the East Palace.

Although it was a lie, she still had to act. She went to the East Palace in the morning and planned to go to Prince Rui's Mansion in the afternoon.

As soon as Baochai got off the sedan, a maid came forward and said, "Mother, those are the people from the palace who are here to tell the prince to come to the palace to meet the emperor!"

Baochai was passing by. At this time, his eyes glanced at several eunuchs who were delivering orders, and the latter immediately bent down and saluted.

Baochai just nodded slightly, which was a great courtesy to these people, because the latter had completed their mission and returned from the status of imperial envoy to the royal family slave.

When Baochai arrived at Yin'an Hall, she found that Zhu Jinghong had changed into his clothes and was looking at himself in the mirror with his back to her.

Beside Zhu Jinghong, three eunuchs are carefully adjusting the folds on his clothes, which can definitely be called excellence.

Seeing Baochai enter the palace, more than a dozen eunuchs and maids present all saluted him in unison.

"You guys go down first, I'll take care of you here!"

"Yes!"

When everyone retreated, Baochai walked towards Zhu Jinghong and took his place personally. He straightened his clothes.

Compared with the previous interview, this time is much more important, so there must be no mistakes.

"Are you ready?" Baochai asked softly.

Every critical moment, she would ask this question because she was unsure about it.

Zhu Jinghong had no expression on his face and said slowly: "I don't know!"

This time, he was not as confident as before, but his mentality was very peaceful.

How to respond has been planned in advance, it just depends on how to behave next.

Turn around, Zhu Jinghong held his wife's shoulders and said calmly: "If the soldiers come to block it, the water will cover it with the soil!"

Baochai didn't say much, just smiled, Then he said: "I'll wait for you to come back for dinner in the evening!"

"The sauced beef made in the kitchen recently is pretty good, don't forget to ask them to make one!"

Baochai nodded. , turned around and picked up the gauze hat on the side, placed it on Zhu Jinghong's head tiptoeing, and asked at the same time: "What kind of wine do you want to drink?"

Zhu Jinghong smiled and replied: "No need... I might I’ll drink and come back!”

“Drink and come back?”Chai was a little surprised.

"Okay... no more words, it's time for me to set off!"

Baochai saw Zhu Jinghong out of Yin'an Gate and watched him disappear at the end of the corridor. Then he turned around and walked inside.

Half an hour later, Zhu Jinghong entered the palace and came outside Qianqing Palace.

After receiving the report, he was introduced into the palace, where Zhu Xianming was already waiting on the throne.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xiang wants to see you!" Cheng Ying reported.

Zhu Xianming was also in a complicated mood at this time. After a few moments of silence, he said: "Ask him to come in!"

"Yes!"

Very quickly Soon, Zhu Jinghong appeared outside the Nuan Pavilion, looking directly at the emperor with calm eyes. It could be said that he was not as respectful as a minister should be.

Entering the room, Zhu Jinghong followed the rules and saluted Zhu Xianming.

"My son, Zhu Jinghong, bow to your majesty...Long live my emperor!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Xianming actually felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why he felt uncomfortable. He couldn't tell clearly for a while.

"Get up!"

Then, Zhu Jinghong stood up and asked proactively: "I don't know if my father summoned me, what's the important matter?"

"You are living a happy life in the house these days!" Zhu Xianming asked calmly.

"You have to find some fun for yourself. To be happy in life, you must have all the fun!" Zhu Jinghong responded.

"It seems that you are very proud!"

"How many people in the world can compare with your son as a prince? It can be called a proud moment!"

p>

Hearing this, Zhu Xianming laughed and secretly thought that this boy is good at talking nonsense, which shows that studying for a month is still useful.

"Did you know...big things have happened in the capital recently!"

"There are many things happening in the capital. I wonder which one my father is asking about?"

"Zhu Jingting was beaten to death, and everyone said it was you who instigated it!"

"This is nonsense!" Zhu Jinghong directly denied it.

"I also believe that you will not use this as a means!"

Even if the matter was revealed, Zhu Xianming then continued: "But now, you are being criticized both inside and outside the court. "What do you say?"

Zhu Jinghong asked: "Dad...do you also think that your son is forming a clique for personal gain?"

Zhu Xianming really can't do it? Judgment, as the emperor he must doubt, as a father he does not want this to be true.

"I'm asking you now!" Zhu Xianming said coldly.

Looking at the emperor, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "My son wants to drink some wine, and then I will reply!"

"Drink?"

"Yes... If you want strong liquor, please give me three pots!"

Hearing that this boy wanted to drink before replying, Zhu Xianming felt that it was outrageous. He thought that this had never happened before.

He is not an ordinary emperor, and the person standing in front of him is even less ordinary.Tongchenzi, so Zhu Xianming agreed to this outrageous request.

Soon, Cheng Ying personally brought the wine into the palace. When he was about to pour wine for Zhu Jinghong, the latter took the wine bottle away.

Zhu Jinghong took off the lid and threw it away, then took the pot and poured it into his mouth. He drank one pot, then the second and third pot.

Within two or three minutes, three bottles of wine were poured into Zhu Jinghong’s belly, making him slightly tipsy.

"To..."

Hearing this strange statement, Zhu Xianming subconsciously asked: "What?"

"Dad...I knew it, You don’t believe me!”

“Who did I form a party with? Who did I meet in private?”

“Those errands? , aren’t they all sent to me by you?”

“The Japanese were suppressed in Jinling, the rebellion was suppressed in the northwest, and the dynasty was established in Liaodong... Didn’t my sons all act according to orders?”

“Oh… ...Now that the matter is done, you heard a few slanderous words and said that your son is forming a clique for personal gain. Are you not trying to kill the donkey?"

No wonder this kid wants to drink. Drinking is really a coward. How dare he say such rebellious words... Zhu Xianming was stunned.

But he didn't want to stop drinking. He wanted to hear what this kid had to say. < /p>

Finally, Zhu Xianming also looked serious when the matter of military power was discussed.

With one hand holding the leather belt around his waist, Zhu Jinghong paced back and forth and said angrily: "Meaning the military power? What does it mean to meddle with the military power?"

"If my son doesn't control the military... …How to eliminate the Japanese pirates? How to quell the rebels?"

Standing in the palace, Zhu Jinghong stopped and said to the emperor: "Besides, my son can only live a leisurely life and risk his life. Is it just to gain access to military power?"

"Bullshit!"

"My son's intention...is just to share your worries and seek peace for the court and the people!"

p>

"The Japanese pirates have pacified the people and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The stability of the northwest can ensure that the country has no worries. We also need to build a strong navy, because we not only need to defend the enemy at the country's gate, but also defend the enemy from all over the world..."

"Today's world, with Western barbarians coming across the sea, is a time of great struggle. The strong will be strong, and the weak will perish..."

For a while, Zhu Jinghong talked about the general trend of the world again, Just from his fanatical and determined eyes, one can still believe that he is a passionate young man with pursuits.

In other words, the so-called access to military power is a means, a tool to realize ambitions, not the end itself.

To be more straightforward, the purpose of holding military power is to do practical things for the court and the emperor, rather than to form parties for personal gain or even sabotage.

Many concepts, many long-term considerations, Zhu Jinghong had told the emperor before, and after several years of indoctrination, they actually affected Zhu Xianming's ideas..

According to Zhu Jinghong’s explanation, the Ming Dynasty is currently undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and Ming Dynasty must have long-term considerations in order to continue to prosper.

Zhu Xianming has factory guards at his disposal, and his eyes and ears can be said to be spread all over the world. He is the most knowledgeable person in the world except Zhu Jinghong.

Zhu Jinghong’s ideas were advanced, and the person in the world who was most likely to understand and agree with him was the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Xianming did recognize him and basically believed him.

Zhu Jinghong saw this, but he wanted to solve the problem once and for all, so he had to continue talking.

After analyzing the situation, Zhu Jinghong straightened his clothes and then prostrated himself before the emperor.

"The father is unkind and the son is unfilial. What the father just said is not the way a father talks about his son. I beg you, son, to take it back before you can say anything else!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong put his head on the ground to show that he was arguing for reason and had no disrespect to his father.

Of course, only he can do this kind of thing. He dares to ask the emperor to take back his words. This is something that no one else dares to think about.

Zhu Xianming didn't take it seriously and said slowly: "What I said just now was just a paraphrase of what others said!"

The translation of his words means that he meant those who slandered Zhu Jinghong. It was all told by others, he was just paraphrasing it so there was no need to take it back.

Of course Zhu Jinghong wanted to step down from the emperor's steps, so he stood up and said solemnly: "Dad... I just said a lot of nonsense. My son can answer your question!"

The emperor's question just now was about forming cliques for personal gain. Zhu Jinghong only gave a side explanation to this, but did not answer the question directly.

I saw Zhu Jinghong looking solemn and saying with piercing eyes: "Since my son has led the army, he has been responsible for the suppression of Japanese aggression in the southeast, commanded the suppression of rebellion in the northwest, and presided over the restructuring of the Beijing army... Every step depends on your support. !”

“When it comes to forming a faction, my son can only be your subordinate, and when it comes to pursuing selfish interests... my son is also selfish for your great cause!”

“Sorry to my parents, "You gave birth to me so hard..."

"Last time you cut my salary and punished my son by grounding him, but this time you cut my title and even ransacked my house, my son has no complaints at all!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but feel moved. He saw Zhu Jinghong's innocent heart and understood how much his questioning had hurt him.

"Dad...it's just that my son is unwilling..."

"For you, my son can endure any hardship, but he doesn't understand why it's always who does more. , Whoever suffers the greater injustice!"

Pointing to the door, Zhu Jinghong cried: "Those people above the temple, they don't know how biting the northwest wind is, and they don't know how hard it is to prepare for war. It’s difficult, they don’t know how dangerous it is to fight on the battlefield..."

"They only know how to talk and gossip, and what makes my son even more sad is that you don’t believe your son..."

Zhu Xianming looked solemn, and he found that he was just like Lao ShisanSaid, as expected, the pattern is not enough.

As the saying goes, you don’t need to be suspicious of others. He often compares himself to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but his mind is far different from others... Thinking of this, Zhu Xianming was even more ashamed.

And objectively speaking, Zhu Jinghong's forces in the army can actually only be called "old old", and they are far from the so-called cronies.

To take another ten thousand steps back, even if those people are really Zhu Jinghong's cronies, they are only a minority in the army, and the situation is still under Zhu Xianming's control.

So at this time, Zhu Xianming had to wonder whether he lacked self-confidence.

While he was thinking in his mind, Zhu Jinghong continued: "Since the last summons from Longwu Palace, my son has felt that you are not attentive to me. After returning home, although he has been having fun every day, in fact, in his heart It's hard to sleep and eat well!"

"Dad, do you know what your son misses the most?"

Looking at his youngest son looking at him, Zhu Xianming asked: "What's the matter? "

Looking at the emperor, Zhu Jinghong said with admiration: "My son wants to be like before, holding your warm hand and walking within the palace walls..."

Zhu Jinghong felt very uncomfortable when he mentioned this excessively greasy words, but today he really gave it his all.

He is indeed a good actor. This statement was particularly sincere and indeed moved the emperor again.

At this time, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but recall his love for his youngest son, then his concern that he was too tall, and then his joy because of his hard work...

Is it criticism from courtiers? Is it the instigation of the Fourth and Sixth Lao? Is it the so-called emperor's suspicion?

Zhu Xianming felt that it was not the case. The fundamental reason was that he, as a father, did not have the trust he should have in his son.

"Since you became emperor, we have gotten along less and less, so much so that we are now separated from each other!"

Pointing to the dragon chair where Zhu Xianming sat, Zhu Jinghong continued Said: "Even if you always punish me, my son will still say... This position is a disaster!"

This position is a disaster...

This sentence can be described as yellow. Zhong Dalu told the cruel truth that has happened for thousands of years.

Revolving around the throne, many brothers have turned against each other, fathers and sons have been bloody, husbands and wives have broken up, and even the whole family has been destroyed.

With these emotions, Zhu Xianming looked at Zhu Jinghong again.

To avoid these disasters, qualified heirs must be selected.

Who is the qualified heir? Zhu Xianming already had the answer in his mind.

As the heir, Ke Ke will become everyone’s target and will surely encounter more dangers.

So first set up a target, or two targets, to attract the attention of the world, so as to ensure the safety of the heir.

At this moment, Zhu Xianming finally straightened out all his thoughts. He felt suddenly enlightened and his whole mood improved.many.

"Okay, what kind of harm is not harmful? What can you say?" Zhu Xianming asked with a cold face.

"Thank you for claiming to be a hero, and crying like a girl when you feel a little wronged. I have lost all my face by you..."

The emperor continued Nagging, now it's time for his presentation.

Zhu Jinghong looked dissatisfied, but he was very happy in his heart. He knew that the relationship between father and son had been repaired and was now back to what it was before.

"Look at your virtue, you are doing so badly in the Qianqing Palace, how can you have half the dignity of a royal heir?"
