Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1 High Arches
In the third year of Longqing, on the tenth day of December, heavy snow fell in Xinzheng, Henan, and the fields were already covered in snow.

Xinzheng County is not very big, and although it is impossible to talk about its majesty, it is also a little more elegant when it is set off by the Ruixue.

The winter is snowing heavily and the wind is bitter. This winter seems to be colder than previous years.

Strange to say, in recent years, each year has been colder than the last.On such a cold day, if it was an ordinary season, few people would go out, but today, outside the gate of Xinzheng County, it is very lively, and a large group of people are standing densely. Who are you seeing off for?Looking at the size of the crowd, there may not be as many as one or two hundred people.
What was even more surprising was that these people were either dressed in court official uniforms or brocade clothes and furs. Even the accompanying servants were all neatly dressed.Judging from the size of Xinzheng County, Hexian County officials and squires must all have arrived to have such a situation.The ages of these people who came here were very different, young and old, young and old, the only thing in common was that they all had enthusiastic and flattering smiles on their faces.

In front of the luxurious carriage among the crowd, there were only two people, one old and one young.The old man was about sixty years old, with a broad forehead and deep eyes. Although he was only wearing an ordinary scholar's cloth jacket, he was able to wear a proud appearance. Li Bai is alive and well.The little boy next to him was only about six or seven years old, and he was beautiful and sculpted, which made people happy when he saw him. Although his eyes were not big, they were particularly agile and energetic, and he looked smart in a blink of an eye.

Not only does this old man look like Li Bai with a big beard, but he even speaks with pride. At this moment, he raised his hand and made a square bow, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone! A way is to send you a thousand miles, and finally I have to say goodbye. Gao has been back to his hometown for nearly two years, and I have inherited from you all. It is so pleasant to talk about learning and Taoism! However, the sage called me and spoke sincerely. Although Gao was old and sick, he dared not say goodbye. , Even if you are going to brave the wind and snow, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible to relieve the sacred worries and fulfill your responsibilities. You don’t have to send me off, and Gao will return to his hometown when he returns to his official position, and then I will have a drink with you all!”

Everyone was polite again, the old man surnamed Gao just smiled and bowed his head reservedly.

At some point, someone turned around from his side, bowed his head and said to the old man, "Mr. Gaoge, since you left Beijing, the emperor is like looking forward to the stars and the moon, talking all day long, looking at you sooner." Go back. You always don’t know that after you left, the troubles in the outer court are becoming more and more every day! The emperor is so annoying, I wish I could just ignore them. Right now Finally, both the inner court and the outer court felt the smell... If you want to talk about our Longqing Dynasty, no one can do without you, Mr. Gao Ge! No, only the emperor Babaili urgently called you. Jing Qi is no longer..." This man was wearing eunuch robes, about thirty years old, with a humble smile on his face, his voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke respectfully.

The old man withdrew his smile, and interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Okay, okay, there is no need to talk about these gossips, don't you just want to ask me if I can go? Go, let's go now. Be pragmatic, come, third uncle hugs you Car." The last sentence was addressed to the little boy beside him.It turned out that the old and the young, who looked like grandparents and grandchildren, were actually uncles and nephews.

The eunuch heard this, and hurriedly said: "How dare you work for Gao Ge!" Then he said to the little boy, "Young master, we invite you to get in the car." Actions.

But the boy grinned, waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chen is polite, I can go up by myself. Uncle, you should invite me first." He looked like a grown-up.

Of course he is a young man—he was the leader of a certain town in his previous life, and he was in his early thirties. He was a "young cadre" who was a county secretary and had a promising future.One day, due to the renovation of the provincial road, the town wanted to demolish a dilapidated Ming Dynasty Taoist temple. He was afraid that the local people would be dissatisfied, so he went to supervise it in person, but unexpectedly, he passed through inexplicably and became a newborn baby. Back to the Ming Dynasty.After several years of growth, it stands to reason that the mental age is almost 40 years old.

Coincidentally, he was called Gao Yushi in his previous life, but he is still called Gao Yushi in this life.It's just that it was called "pragmatic" in the previous life because the popular slogan at that time was "seeking truth and being pragmatic". Father Gao was also an intellectual back then, and his consciousness was not low. It happened that his son was born, so he simply named him Pragmatic.But in this life, the name "pragmatism" is because he was born in the Gao family in Xinzheng. He is also the emperor's teacher of the current Emperor Longqing, and he was once a cabinet scholar.

At that time, his third uncle Gao Gong—that is, the old man beside him at this moment—goed back to his hometown to visit his relatives. Because Gao Yushi's father was an official abroad at that time and was not in his hometown, Gao Gong, as a compatriot brother, named him "Pragmatism" ", the word "wu" refers to the seniority of their generation, and "real" refers to practical learning.

Seeing Gao Wushi's answer in this way, Gao Gong just smiled, but he didn't take it seriously, he flicked his hem, stepped on the cork brocade pedals and got into the car.Gao Yushi didn't delay, followed behind his third uncle, and quickly stepped on the brocade pedal to get into the car.

After the two of them got into the carriage one after another, the eunuch who delivered the decree did not dare to ride with Mr. Gao Ge, but after exhorting the accompanying people, he went to another carriage which was quite simple.

In the carriage, there were only two uncles and nephews left.

After the convoy traveled for a while, the people presenting gifts to the elders at the gate of the city had already dispersed and disappeared into the snow.Mr. Gao Ge lightly raised his hand and opened the curtains, looking at the retreating snowy countryside, he suddenly sneered slightly: "Pragmatically, guess how many people in the world will be worried after hearing the news that I will return to Beijing?" , Don’t know the taste?”

The restoration of the high arch can be regarded as a major event in the history of the Ming Dynasty.But since there is recovery, there is naturally leaving Beijing first.

When Yan Song fell from power, Xu Jie took the position as the head and assistant. In order to show favor to the only prince Zhu Zaihou, he recommended his teacher Gao Gong to the cabinet to assist the government.Xu Jie originally thought that Gao Gong, a younger generation, would appreciate his kindness and become his help after being recommended to join the cabinet by him, but unexpectedly Gao Gong knew that as the only teacher of the crown prince, he would definitely join the cabinet. He looked down on Xu Jie, an old-fashioned bureaucrat who only wanted to be an official, and it didn't take long for him to have a quarrel with Xu Jie.

Later, when Emperor Longqing, who was Gao Gong's disciple, ascended the throne, Gao Gong wanted to reform the administration of officials and revitalize the court, and the conflict with Xu Jie became more acute.Just imagine that Xu Jiewei has been in power for nearly twenty years. When Yan Song was in power, he was able to protect himself wisely and maintain his position in the cabinet. How could he tolerate Gao Gong's opposition to him?So he immediately used various methods, and finally forced Gao Gong to resign with more than ten memorials, and he went back to his hometown sadly.

However, in just over a year, Xu Jie lost his family because he indulged his words and restricted the emperor. In a tentative resignation, he was directly approved by the emperor and retired!
As soon as Xu Jie retreated, the first important thing that the emperor thought of was to recall Gao Gong and return to Beijing to restore his prime minister!
So, there was the scene just now.

It's just logically speaking, how can a child of about seven years old know this kind of problem?However, Mr. Gao Ge just asked this question, and Gao Wushi replied with a smile: "Sanbo, what they think is their business. You don't have to care about it at all. The key now is what you plan to do."

"Hahahaha!" Elder Gao Ge looked up to the sky and smiled, as if venting the grievances accumulated over the past year, and said: "You little guy, you hit the nail on the head, sometimes I can't wait to see you grow up right away. How capable were you at that time... Yes, the key now is not with them, but with what attitude I will treat them."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Gao Ge's little nephew, who was interested in taking the exam, raised his brows slightly: "You might as well guess."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, but he was not stage frightened.He was originally a fan of Ming history, and when he was a secretary, he read a lot of history books to enrich himself. Regarding the history of Longwan's reform period, he even wrote a few analysis articles and published them in county newspapers. Therefore, he was favored by the leaders and gradually entrusted with important tasks.

In fact, he had a high opinion of Gao Gong's ability and ambition, and always felt that if he continued to preside over the reform in the early years of Wanli, he would probably do a better job than Zhang Juzheng.Because this person's boldness and courage are actually better than Zhang Juzheng.It is a pity that in the original history, as soon as Emperor Longqing died, Gao Gong was framed by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. He was finally resigned from office and returned to his hometown sadly. He died in depression a few years later.

This was a tragedy of history and a loss to Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, he was able to become Gao Gong's nephew. , The implementation of the reform!As long as I can help him, let Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao's tricks go nowhere!

As for the question Gao Gong raised to test him right now, he also has his own thoughts.

Gao Yushi thinks that the first possibility is that Gao Gong returned to Beijing this time relying on the Wushuang Holy Family, and put on a tough style, sweeping away all the ghosts and monsters who once opposed him, killing those who should be killed, those who should be arrested, and those who should be arrested. Let it go, the one who should be demoted.Even Xu Jie, who has retired to Songjiang, can be a bit shocking-Xu Jie has already resigned after all, others are not in the center, and his influence will always be reduced. With the current emperor's reliance on Gao Gong, who can oppose him?It's just... Doing so will definitely lead to turmoil in the court. It may not be completely restored in three to five years, but Gao Gong is a person who wants to do something big for the world, so he will definitely not make a move. such a choice.

In fact, within the center of the Ming court, the cabinet and ministries have been fighting for a long time.Originally, because of Yan Song's relationship in these years, the authority of the cabinet has become stronger and stronger. Even if Yan Song is removed, this situation will not change immediately, and it is a good opportunity to refresh political affairs.Unexpectedly, Xu Jie came out first, in order to suppress Gao Gong and make science and technology flourish, it was almost unstoppable.And after he caused Gao Gong to be expelled, he was also displeased by the emperor, and the position of chief assistant was not stable at all, and he only ended up returning to his hometown sadly.

But when he left, the cabinet replaced him one by one, and it was Li Chunfang's turn to become the chief assistant.In fact, the six departments and the people of Ke Dao have been overwhelmed with things for a long time, but when they encounter something, what else can they do besides shirking each other's responsibilities?

As time went by, the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore, and this time he raised Gao Gong, in fact, he wanted Gao Gong to return to take charge of the overall situation, clean up this mess, and save him some trouble.In this way, if Gao Gong wants to use thunderous means and pursue the original matter at the same time, the emperor will definitely not stop him, and if the emperor does not stop him, no one will be able to stop him.It's just that Gao Wushi knows that with Gao Gong's personality, it is impossible to do this. After all, he is a person who wholeheartedly wants to reform and assist Emperor Longqing to achieve a career, and will not disturb the world because of his personal grievances.

So Gao Wushi set the tone first, and said: "You could have killed the Quartet by coercing the holy family, but that would destabilize the court. I don't expect Sanbo to do that."

Gao Gong glanced at him appreciatively, sighed with emotion, and looked into his nephew's eyes: "Practical, you are right. People of my generation must always remember that being an official is to do things better. This is the original intention and the fundamental. Just like when I fought with them, the purpose was to do things, but now the reason why I am willing to lead the order to return to Beijing to recover is to do things. But there are so many things in the world, how can I be alone Just finish it? Those who opposed me back then may not all be incapable of doing things or unwilling to do things. There are still many of them who are worth saving so that they can get back on the right track. So, if you can’t beat this killing power, don’t fight it, at least you should write it down first, just in case...it won’t be too late to fight again later. Well, what else do you have in mind? "

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "The second possibility is to do nothing, say nothing, and show nothing at all. After you return to Beijing, you can do what you should do. For the previous things, just treat it as a matter of fact." It never happened...but I don't think Sanbo will make this choice either."

Of course Gao Gong would not make such a choice.This method is generally called cold treatment in later generations. Doing so will temporarily make some people unable to judge what Gao Gong intends to do. It is like a fist that is clenched but not punched out. Deterrent.In this way, these people will not dare to act rashly in a short period of time, so as not to become rafters in the early stage.In this case, they are likely to lurk first to avoid Gao Gong's sharp edge.

In this way, during this period of time, there shouldn't be too much resistance to what Gao Gong wants to do.It's just that it's hard to say when they can't hold back or feel that the limelight has passed.So this method is actually a bad idea, unless Gao Gong has not figured out how to deal with them, otherwise he will not choose to do so.

Sure enough, Gao Gong heard this, and immediately waved his hand: "Although doing big things requires careful consideration, try to be as sure as possible, but there is a big difference between careful consideration and indecisiveness. If it's really as bad as you said, then I'm just an indecisive person That's all. Well, it is indeed a bad policy, so it's worth not mentioning it. Well, the first and second items have been vetoed by you yourself. It seems that the best policy in your eyes should be the third policy? Then talk about it Let's see."

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Why do I call my name teaching 'Famous Teaching'? It is because saints pay attention to rectification and enlightenment. According to my nephew's expectation, even if you are in the way of court practice, it will be difficult for you to be the chief assistant for a while when you return to Beijing. , but if you think about it, you should act as the first assistant, assist the emperor and educate the people. Sanbo, after all, these civil and military officials are actually part of the "ten thousand people". .” He not only prolonged the last word “hua”, but also said it with extra emphasis, which obviously meant something.

Seeing his nephew's sly face, Gao Gong couldn't help but think of a word: "little fox".Can't help laughing, pretended to pat him on the head, and said: "It's a great thing for the world, it's like a conspiracy when you say it out of your mouth. People say that you don't read the Water Margin, and you don't read the Three Kingdoms. Good thing, young and old can eat it all! How old are you, why do you look like Sima Yi in the novel?
I can warn you, although my Gao family is practical and not pragmatic, but I will rule tomorrow that 'non-Jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet', you understand this rule.If you can't be named on the gold list and become an official, no matter how capable you are, it's just a dragon entering a shallow pond and a tiger falling into the flat sun.So, be pragmatic, even if you are talented, but at this moment in your studies, laying a solid foundation should be the top priority. Remember to distinguish between the primary and the secondary. For the time being, you should read less books and miscellaneous volumes. Well, when you become an official in the future, what can you do to get in the way if you go to study again? "

Gao Wushi quickly straightened his face, lowered his hands and bowed his head solemnly, and said, "Sanbo taught you well, and my nephew has been taught."

Only then did Gao Gong nod in satisfaction, and changed to a comfortable sitting position, Shi Shiran said: "Your uncle enlightened you back then, and you started to read and write at the age of three. I mentioned it, and you are known as a child prodigy in your hometown. I have personally supervised your studies for the past two years when I returned to my hometown, and I found that your mind is far superior to children of the same age, so this time I returned to Beijing. You alone, even your aunt came back later, why? I just want to take you to the capital to see the world earlier, so that you can know all kinds of things that a high-ranking official of the imperial court has to go through on a daily basis. ...It's all about how to deal with each other, don't think that these seem useless, but they will actually be very beneficial to you in the future."

Gao Gong looked at him, with a loving light in his eyes, even if he looked at his own parents and children, it would be nothing more than that.Seeing Gao Wushi's expression of gratitude, he sat upright and listened to the training, he felt even more satisfied, and added: "Not only that, there are many young talents in the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the yamen of various ministries. They are just some petty officials of the eighth and ninth ranks, and their words and deeds don't have much weight.

But just because they have no weight now, it is also the best time to make friends. If you leave a deep impression on their hearts at this time, or even have a little friendship with each other, then it is conceivable that in the future you will be named on the gold list, step into the After the official career, these people have already been pushed forward by the waves of the Yangtze River, standing proudly above the court and making decisions. At that time, each of them may be helpful to you. "

Gao Yushi can only sincerely thank you again.

In fact, if Gao Gong's words were addressed to ordinary children, it might be a bit reserved, but Gao Yushi knew very well in his heart that most of the "these people" Sanbo referred to were his own disciples, or had received his favor. People, probably most of them can call him "senior brother" by themselves.Well, to put it more simply, these people are nothing more than the so-called "high party".

The teachers and students in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty have already become a kind of iron-clad circle. As long as they become a teacher-student relationship, they will be grasshoppers on the same rope almost all their lives.As for the disciples under San Bo's sect, they may be limited by their seniority, and their status and power are still not on the stage, but ten or twenty years later, there will be many who will stand on the court and talk freely. Do you want to get out of this group of people?

It can be seen that although the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is determined for life by the imperial examination, the children of officials always have the connections of the children of officials to use. As long as they can pass the exam, they can get more help in the officialdom than the children of poor families.

The Xinzheng Gao family is exactly such a family of officials.

However, Gao Yushi understood in his heart that there is a premise in the words just now, that is, Gao Gong must not fail.He can retire on his own initiative and choose to retire, but he must not be crushed by political opponents.Only when Gao Gong's position is stable, his disciples will have a promising future and will be of help to Gao Pragmatic's future.

But the problem is, Gao Yushi knew better in his heart that if there were no accidents, then two years later, Gao Gong would suddenly be overthrown by Zhang Juzheng when he was in full swing, completely down, and it would be difficult to turn over!It was not until more than [-] years later that Zhang Juzheng's bones could beat drums that he was rehabilitated.

"I don't know why I was reborn in this world, but this identity is not bad, it's more than enough than the above. I can try to keep Gao Gong from falling tragically; try to make the emperor and the civil servants less sharp Confrontation; try to develop new government financial resources in a way that balances interests; try to introduce and promote various high-yield varieties that have been introduced from the Americas to reduce the food pressure brought about by the Little Ice Age; try to keep the firearms of the Ming army from developing The evil way of "cannons and mosquitoes"; try to make the northern nomads no longer able to invade the south; try to make Ming Dynasty not interrupt the road of self-evolution because of the last glory of the nomads; try...to make China not because of wild boars Pi's ignorance and conservatism waste nearly 300 years and lag behind the West!"

The "seven-year-old" Gao Wushi thought of this, suddenly pouted his mouth, and muttered in a very small voice: "Of course the main reason is that if Gao Gong falls down, my identity will be worthless..."

"What are you mumbling about?" Gao Gong asked.

"Ah? Oh..." Gao Wushi faltered for a moment, then had an idea: "By the way, Sanbo, I heard that the crown prince is about the same age as me?"

"Well, both the prince and you were born in 42 in Jiajing, why do you ask this?"

Gao Wushi suddenly showed a thoughtful look, hesitating and refusing to answer.

Gao Gong was puzzled when he saw this, he knew that his nephew often said unexpected things, some of them might be whimsical, but some of them were very pertinent and even thought-provoking, so he couldn't help saying: "Say whatever comes to your mind, just tell me That's all, what else is there to dare?"

Gao Wushi was still hesitant, but he finally spoke: "Since Sanbo came back to Xinzheng, he often talked with his nephew about the affairs of Beijing and China. According to his nephew, it seems that all important affairs of the court are decided by the cabinet. When impeaching a minister, he either protects or reprimands, and rarely cares about confidentiality?"

As a minister, talking about the Holy Majesty, this made Gao Gong hesitate a little, but he thought, it was his six or seven-year-old nephew who asked this question, no matter what he said, he was still at the age of childish speech. Then he still nodded and replied: "Your Majesty was a bit late in studying back then, and the late emperor...well, he never trained His Majesty to handle government affairs. Therefore, since His Majesty inherited the Great Treasure, most of the government affairs of the court were discussed and drafted by the cabinet, and the supervisor of rituals was just as usual. It’s just a matter of redemption, and you don’t need to hide these things from you. But I think that with the passage of time, His Majesty will become more and more familiar with government affairs even if he is exposed to it... Besides, His Majesty has a benevolent nature. The people in the yamen are in full bloom, and the Ming Dynasty will continue to prosper."

Gao Yushi changed the topic lightly, and said, "That is to say, as long as all the officials—especially the cabinet, the six ministries and the two courts are running smoothly, the emperor can actually ignore everything, and the country can still be peaceful and peaceful tomorrow?"

Gao Gong intuitively felt that his next question might be difficult to answer, but from his standpoint, the sentence itself was not inappropriate, so he could only answer: "Well, that's roughly the case. However, Your Majesty is the Lord of the world. We and other officials are only exercising the power of herdsmen on behalf of His Majesty, this point must not be confused...but it is reasonable for the Holy Son of Heaven to rule from the arch."

Gao Wushi finally put away his doubts, smiled and said: "That is to say, if the emperor trusts all the officials and uses the right ones, then the world will not be far behind, will it?"

Only then did Gao Gong feel relieved, and said with a smile: "That's right, from the standpoint of a ruler, the so-called governance of the world, the most important thing is to be close to virtuous ministers and distant villains." He thought for a while, and added: "It's also because of this that I advocated dismissing those people who are vegetarians and appointing people who are honest. In the dispute between me and Huating, many people thought I was greedy for power and desperate to take the position of chief assistant , but I don't know whether I have the name of the chief assistant because of the depth of my trust in the Holy One.

You are not an outsider. Uncle San can say something bluntly. The Holy Majesty is my student. When he was King Yu, he almost relied on me to protect him from wind and rain and give him advice. His trust in me was almost unreserved.And I, Gao Gong, have studied and studied for dozens of years, and I am lucky enough to have this king, how can I ignore the king's kindness and not think of repaying it?If you treat me like a gentleman, I will repay you!I have been in the imperial court for many years, and I know that Xu Huating tried his best to promote the theory of respecting the heart, but he did not understand the true meaning of Yangming Gong's theory of the heart, and instead fell into a wrong path... As the chief assistant, he was practical for people, and he was also pragmatic for government.In this way, the top and bottom of the court only have people who talk and talk, but there are no people who are down-to-earth and dedicated to doing things. If things go on like this, the country will be in danger! "

He sighed, and then continued: "The year you were born coincided with the time when I made great achievements in compiling history, and because of the death of my youngest daughter, I was specially allowed to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives. Your father named you 'Practical'...you must always remember the meaning of this name."

Gao Wushi knew that Gao Gong actually admired Wang Yangming himself, but he was rather displeased with those so-called Xinxue disciples, thinking that they had misinterpreted Yangminggong's original intention.

Gao Wushi has also thought about this issue. In the era before he traveled, the study of mind was actually very marketable, especially when many people regarded Duke Yangming as a saint.However, the Xinzheng Gao clan who was born in this time travel is a family of practical scholars. It is inevitable that the ass decides the head, but he still can't help saying: "Mr. Wang Wencheng has made outstanding achievements and is full of righteousness in his conduct. ...Forgive me for my nephew's ignorance, I don't know why Sanbo hates him so much?"

Gao Gong said seriously: "Why do I hate Duke Yangming and even Wang Xue?" Then he sneered: "What I hate are his disciples and grandchildren, Wang Xuejing doesn't know anything about it, but spends all day talking about what he doesn't care about. Hmph, if there is nothing outside of your mind, just by thinking about it, can you fill your stomach? Can the country be strong? The people will be rich? "

When Gao Yushi heard this, he couldn't help agreeing. This is simply a simple materialistic thought, which is very close to his own understanding!He quickly nodded in agreement, and then he was a little curious and asked, "Then what do you think is the essence of Wang Xue?"

Gao Gong resolutely said: "There is no one else, it's just that you have decided the right thing and do it! Do it with all your heart!" He snorted coldly: "Nowadays, those people outside who claim to be kings are fighting to be the first when they talk about it. They do some practical things, and each of them is either "I have an old illness, and I dare not resign because of the responsibility of the country, but I am sick and sick, and I am afraid of making mistakes", or "I am a gentleman, how can I do such a lowly job." Hey, really read Get a good book! In the past, when Wang Wencheng was demoted to the place where the Miao and the bureaucrats lived together because he offended Liu Jin, he never gave up and educated the barbarians. It’s a beautiful talk, can these self-proclaimed king elites do it?”

"What Uncle San said is absolutely true!" Gao Wushi nodded his head: "The so-called practice brings true knowledge! Only practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

Gao Gong was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and then smiled: "That's a good statement." Suddenly, he thought about it and remembered the previous question: "But what does this have to do with what you said before?"

"Ah? Oh, that's it." Gao Wushi explained excitedly: "According to what you just said, if the world is to be governed, it only needs the ministers to work together. If the ministers want to do anything freely, the Holy Majesty has to deal with it." Enough trust is enough, so no matter who wants to do something great for the world, the first prerequisite is actually to gain the trust of the Holy One, isn't that right?"

"This...although it's a bit biased, but it's generally not bad."

Gao Wushi said happily: "My nephew thinks that if you want to gain the trust of the Holy Majesty, you must first get close to the Holy Majesty. This is the so-called truth that you get the moon first if you are close to the water. Looking at my Ming Dynasty, those who gain the trust of the Holy Majesty and can influence the world , either the emperor's teacher or a close servant. For example, if you are the emperor's teacher, there is no close servant who is as close as you to the emperor, so the emperor has the utmost trust in you. But Sanbo, what about the future? Forgive my nephew. Presumptuous, wait for the future... when the crown prince inherits the great treasure, who should he trust the most?"

　I saw some readers’ comments saying that there were too many explanations in the early days, and the protagonist’s debut age was too young, etc. Now it has been decided: no charge for listing before the protagonist is 15 years old or the free chapter of the book is less than 100 million words, and at least one of the two conditions is met will be considered for listing.
