Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 404 The Last Lesson (Part [-])
"Daddy will teach you today: use either one, it just depends on how you use it."

Long Qing's words made little Zhu Yijun a little puzzled, and subconsciously questioned: "But the sage said..."

But just as he uttered these words, Long Qing interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Don't mention the sage's words, the sage's words may be applicable to all people in the world, but there are also many words that are not applicable to the emperor."

Zhu Yijun was tongue-tied, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond. After all, what his father said completely broke his inherent thinking.

There are many words of the sage that are not applicable to the emperor?
Long Qing didn't seem to want to talk more about this issue, but just continued the topic just now, saying: "The emperor's employment depends on what kind of role this person has, not what he wants. Jun'er, don't think too much about things." Too simple, don't think about things too complicated. For example, when it comes to employing people, the sage may have said a lot of truths, but as an emperor, don't think about them. In fact, the emperor only has two things to consider: What he wants, you give Can’t afford it, and are you willing to give it?”

Zhu Yijun's eyeballs rolled a few times, as if he had realized something, but obviously he didn't fully understand it.

When Long Qing saw him, he smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his imperial couch, and said, "Sit up and come forward."

Zhu Yijun was taken aback for a moment, and said hesitantly, "This is the imperial couch."

Long Qing waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Sooner or later, it will be yours, and now there are no outsiders around, so don't think about it, sit down."

Zhu Yijun hesitated for a moment, but he was still a child after all, seeing that his father didn't care at all, he put aside those rules, got up and sat on Longqing's imperial couch, almost squeezed into his father's arms.

Long Qing stretched out his hand lovingly, touched his head, took off the melon cap on his head, and looked at his half-length hair At that time, although Zhu Yijun was underage, he was already a prince and had entered school, so he began to grow hair.In the same way, Gao Yushi also began to grow hair because he was already "an official", and said: "These principles, originally Daddy thought, it would not be too late to teach you when you are older, but now it seems that... The earlier the better."

Zhu Yijun also knew the meaning of his father's words, but he didn't think it was a serious problem for his father to faint today-in fact, for a child of his age, his father was like a mountain, the most reliable person, Unexpectedly, this mountain may also collapse suddenly.

So Zhu Yijun comforted: "Daddy, it's human nature to be sick, just take medicine and you'll be fine."

Long Qing laughed, and this smile was very long, for a long time, and Zhu Yijun laughed so hard that he wondered if he had said something wrong, and his face was blank.

Looking at his half-grown son who was sometimes intelligent and sometimes ignorant, Long Qing's laughter gradually became more indescribable, until finally it turned into a sigh.

Zhu Yijun asked softly, "Daddy, am I wrong?"

Long Qing cheered up, and said affirmatively: "No, you are right, Daddy will get better, and Daddy will leave you with a deep and unshakable Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yijun then laughed happily and said, "Has daddy taken any medicine?"

"Eat, eat." Long Qing also responded with a smile, and then said: "Hey, look, we two are far away again... Where did we just say?"

Zhu Yijun's memory is not bad, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Daddy said that when the emperor employs people, there are actually only two things to consider: whether the emperor can afford what they want, and whether he is willing to give it."

"Oh, yes." Long Qing nodded, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "It will be very troublesome to discuss these two issues separately, so let's talk about them briefly."

Zhu Yijun nodded vigorously, and he could also subconsciously feel that these two issues would be very complicated, and his father might say something that shocked him.

While sorting out his thoughts and organizing his words, Long Qing reached out and patted Zhu Yijun's back lightly, just like he did when his son was still an infant a few years ago.

Little Zhu Yijun also enjoyed this kind of warmth, and he didn't mean to urge him at all, and even half-closed his eyes with some enjoyment.

After a while, Long Qing said: "Whether you can afford it or not, in the final analysis, it is to judge the ambition of your subordinates."

Zhu Yijun already understood the word "ambition", and he felt a little nervous immediately, his small body froze slightly.

Long Qing exerted a little force on his hands, patted him, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, all people have ambitions, and being ambitious is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Ambition is not necessarily a bad thing?" Zhu Yijun was startled, and asked back.

"Of course, not only is ambition not necessarily a bad thing, it is even a good thing for most people... It is a kind of self-motivation. In many cases, there is no difference between this kind of 'ambition' and 'ambition'." Long Qing Looking at his son gently, he explained: "The kind of ambition that people in the world often talk about is actually mostly born because this kind of ambition has no constraints."

Zhu Yijun gave a half-understanding "Oh".

Long Qing saw his son's confusion, and continued to explain: "Daddy will give you an example—well, have you read history? Have you read Tang history?"

"I've read it before, but it's not considered a deep study. Teachers don't teach it." Zhu Yijun hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Daddy, I usually read history with Gao Yushi, and he likes to read it very much." History, and also likes to discuss with me, I think he has a lot of insight into many historical events, so I told him last time that I will let him compile history in the future.”

Long Qing laughed, and even teased himself: "Could it be that you promised him a president to compile my memoir in the future? Are you going to add a temple name to me?"

Long Qing dared to say this ridicule, but Zhu Yijun didn't dare to answer it. He was so frightened that he quickly got up and knelt down in front of the imperial couch, kowtowing again and again: "Father and emperor offended my son, and son An dare to say that this is a big treason!" words?"

"Get up, get up, how old are you, even if you really say it, it's a child's word, and I know you can't say it." Long Qing pulled his son's arm, motioned him to get up, Zhu Yijun stood up in fear, But he didn't dare to sit on the imperial couch anymore, he just stood with his hands down.

Unexpectedly, Longqing himself came to talk about Xing, thought for a while, and said: "Actually speaking, among the temple names I can get, I like 'Zhongzong' the most. It's a pity to have such an opportunity... Looking at it now, I'm afraid it will be difficult." When he said this, he sighed dispiritedly and said, "I'm afraid he will be a 'Mu Zong' by then."

The temple name of Mu Zong is not very good. According to the habit of using the temple name, the general idea is that the emperor is generally not bad, basically does not mess around, but likes to have fun, and the worst point is-short life.

In the past, it was like Emperor Muzong of the Tang Dynasty, and in the future, it was like Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty (Emperor Tongzhi). They all have this tone: there is no major fault in government, and even because they are willing to delegate power (or not be able to control power), the world is relatively peaceful, but it is good for people to enjoy themselves. Died young.

Zhu Yijun still didn't quite understand the meaning of the temple name, he just opened his mouth when he heard the words, not knowing what to say.

Long Qing himself turned the corner, smiled, and said, "Daddy's mind is a little messed up today, he always talks off topic, let's talk about ambition first—what do you think of the Anshi Rebellion?"
