Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1248 The Joy of Contentment
Outsiders may say that the emperor is weak and cowardly, not knowing that his position is already on the verge of collapse, but in fact the emperor just doesn't want to be disturbed by others.Even if there were voices criticizing General Shen, they lacked the courage to fight against General Shen head-on. How many of them could be expected to be loyal ministers who really cared about Jin Zuo and were afraid of losing their king?

Furthermore, even if his brother-in-law's power was overthrown and fell short, then the new riser might still be righteous before he achieved success, and would he be regarded as the emperor in the future?

The emperor has personal experience, even his mother and son, his mother and queen have obviously returned to him when she was alive, but she always reprimanded him face to face, which led to the disaster of death a few years ago.

After understanding this, the emperor was really too lazy to indiscriminately lend the so-called righteousness to those who had distracting thoughts but were incapable.This can be said to be a rational choice, and it can also be said to be a resignation to fate, but as the emperor, he has rarely been independent since he enjoyed the country, and he has fallen into military disasters several times. After learning from the pain, how dare he repay the world? One or two extravagant thoughts?
The simplest point is that even though his brother-in-law is in control, at least he has saved his life several times, and he still has a relationship with him.Lending the name of Dayi to Luoyang Xingtai, there is still hope to complete the great cause of crusade against Hu Kou and reshape the mountains and rivers.

But if it is lent to others, not to mention the relationship between those people and others, at the very least, Jiangdong's political situation will fall into the situation of internal friction and tearing in previous years, and all the previous achievements will be wiped out.He will still only be a puppet played by various families, and will be forever frozen in history as a cowardly and incompetent image, and he may not even be able to enjoy the stability of his life.

"No matter what my brother-in-law's mind is, at least he has the great talent to stabilize the chaos. Now the external affairs are prosperous, and the internal affairs are peaceful. This is a peaceful situation that has never been seen since ZTE. When it comes to the state of mind that is willing to be stable and afraid of danger, I am no different from the people of Jiangdong, but I am really tired of the world, no matter how poor and turbulent it is."

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "The position of the emperor is the position that needs the most talent and bravery in this world. However, if there is a succession of obedience and reverse, those with outstanding talents may not be the natural choice. In a peaceful world, There are still patriarchal etiquettes that can protect the weak emperor a little bit, but once this world of rites and music collapses, the so-called throne is really to put the emperor in a cooker to cook and suffer.

Whether it's fatuous or cowardly, it's a fluke for me to be able to control a rare talent like my brother-in-law, and to be a virtuous king who does nothing and rules well.But let everyone have food, and the common people have hope, so why should I be unwilling to be lonely, and use small things to do big things, only lamenting that my talents are poor. "

In fact, if the gains and losses of power and position were not considered, the past few years since Kaitai were indeed the happiest days the emperor had ever lived in his life.

There is no need to sit in the study room every day, studying those classics that he is neither interested in nor have the opportunity to use at all, nor does he have to catch up with the ducks on the shelf to appreciate the stage, and the assistants argue endlessly over some trivial matters, and there is no need to respect the back seat of his mother every day. In front of him, he was scrutinized by his harsh eyes.

To be honest, he was even more fortunate in his heart that it was his brother-in-law who was in charge of the country.Because of his great talent, his brother-in-law didn't have to put him out there to create any momentum, and he could arrange all the living and eating arrangements according to his wishes.

Although the emperor is not very old, he has seen many faces of various powerful officials.

For example, Yu Liang, his uncle, is self-restraining and loyal to the emperor and the country, but the restraint on him has never been relaxed, and it is even strict enough to stipulate how many scriptures and classics he must recite every day.Is this teaching him carefully and cultivating him into a heroic master?

After a long time, the emperor realized that it wasn't true, it was only because Yu Liang's behavior of holding the king was in conflict with his long-established values, and the fact forced him to do so.That's why he put the anxiety in his heart on the emperor, so as to seek a psychological comfort, deceiving himself and telling himself that he is worthy of Suzu's kindness, and has been teaching the emperor to become a talent with his heart.

Although the queen mother is not a powerful minister, her heart can be said to be in the same line as the uncle's. Even because of the special relationship between mother and child, she has a much tighter control over the emperor, making the emperor almost breathless.The pair of brothers and sisters, to put it bluntly and cruelly, used the abuse of the emperor to compensate for the guilt in their hearts caused by the distortion of knowledge and behavior.

There is also Su Jun, who was rebellious for a while, when he was abusing Jiankang, he insulted the emperor at every turn, nothing more than berating the emperor for favoring his relatives and being mean to his heroes.

During that period of time, the emperor was too young, and he was often scared out of his wits.But when I think about it afterwards, I can't help but feel the weakness under Su Jun's tough exterior, and the kind of stern grief and indignation, perhaps a little bit of his true feelings, his grief and indignation at the injustice of the world.

There is also Wang Dao of Zhongxing Yuanzhu, who is an outlier among the powerful ministers, lacking in grandeur and corners, seemingly magnanimous, but it brings a lot of psychological shadow to the emperor.When he was young, he had occasional nightmares. In the dream, Dao Wang turned into a huge and ugly spider, spinning silk continuously to bind the emperor tightly into a cocoon.

Since Qitai, especially with the establishment of Luoyang Xingtai, Jiankang Terrace Garden is no longer the focus of the entire court, and the emperor has finally freed himself from the old environment that made him feel so depressing, and even felt that the sky was blue No matter how many points, breathing is smooth.

From then on, although the emperor came to court occasionally, all he received was exciting and good news.It is no longer like in previous years that the Taifus were concerned about the country and the people, and they were discussing some gloomy topics every day. Obviously, the emperor had no ability to interfere, and he had to sit on the imperial bed and watch from beginning to end. The old fellows groaned and mourned.

Although the general and the Shen family behind him controlled domestic and foreign affairs, they did not control and control the emperor seriously.To put it bluntly, many times they even ignored the existence of the emperor at all.

Such a major event as the Western Expedition to Guanzhong began without the emperor's knowledge. It was not until the achievement of regaining Chang'an was sent to Jiankang that the emperor knew that his brother-in-law had successfully planned another grand event in Jiangbei.

Originally, this kind of ignorance should be a very embarrassing situation.But it was not the case for the emperor. He had already received enough attention when he was young, and he was tired of this situation of being noticed and doing nothing, which made him feel that his shortcomings were multiplied and magnified. People scrutinized and laughed.

So instead of being ashamed and angry about being ignored by others, the emperor was able to enjoy himself.Even in the autumn of the second year of Qitai, he took a short trip, leaving the palace in Jiankang, following the path of Su Jun's rebellion in previous years, when his mother and younger brother fled, all the way to the capital.

On this road, the road is open and flat, less tired from the bumps of vehicles and horses. You can also see the criss-crossing fields in the counties, counties and villages, and the mulberry forests and gardens.

Along the way, the emperor stopped at Yunyang Village in the township of Qua, his elder sister. It was a pity that he could not see the sea of ​​flowers that his elder sister had boasted to him many times in the early years, which was as wide as tens of miles.

Afterwards, he entered Dayeguan City, and his own attendant told him about the fall of Gyeonggi, how short his brother-in-law used to build such a majestic Guancheng, and then led hundreds of horsemen to rush to tens of thousands of rebels without hesitation. Jiankang City, which was occupied by the army, and rescued him.

In the end, the emperor stayed in the Yanshan Manor where the Xingtai was located back then, summoned many people from the capital, and heard a lot about the old things he didn't know back then, so he couldn't help feeling a lot of strange feelings in his heart. An absolute central focus, but when he heard many old things he didn't know, he felt a sense of witnessing the vicissitudes of history.

This trip is also the only one in the emperor's life, and many new and interesting experiences in it have made him memorable until now.Even after returning home, he fell ill and was almost dying, but after his condition improved and he recovered, he hastily wrote a letter and sent it to Luoyang, telling his brother-in-law that his illness was not caused by traveling, and he must not use it For this reason, he was detained in Jiankang all year round.

Afterwards, his brother-in-law wrote back, which made him feel mixed. First of all, he didn't blame him for wandering outside, and said that if the emperor wanted to travel in the future, as long as the conditions allowed, he would not prohibit it, but he must remember not to take the white dragon fish.The emperor quite recognized this, he was not keen on taking risks, especially after a serious illness, he felt that his life was precious.

But although my brother-in-law did not prohibit him from traveling, he sent a detailed account of his many expenses for this trip along with the letter.After the emperor looked it over, he was so shocked that he bit the back of his tongue off. This short-distance trip took more than a month to go back and forth, and all the expenses were converted into more than [-] million yuan!

What is the concept of more than [-] million yuan?At present, the price of food in Jiankang hovers around [-] or [-] yuan, and the asking price for a half-acre house in a good square area near the Qinhuai River is around one million yuan. Fifty thousand dollars up and down.

In other words, the cost of the emperor's trip was enough to consume more than 6000 households of four for a year, enough to buy half of the houses in the most prosperous area of ​​Jiankang City, and enough to arm a battalion of the most elite kings in the world. Commander!

The emperor himself didn't have any concept of money, but after doing some calculations in his heart, he realized that he was really a prodigal.

Of course, he didn't know that there were problems with the accounts. The Wuzhong Business League was mainly responsible for the expenses of the emperor's trips, such as food and accommodation, so the consumption was mainly transferred from the internal treasury to the Business League, but the specific loss of personnel, etc. The actual consumption is calculated to be more than 2000 million yuan, and this is just a well-established short-distance road from Jiankang to Beijing.

On the one hand, he felt that the cost of traveling was astonishing, and on the other hand, he really wanted to visit the mountains and rivers. The emperor, who had never known about the business of buying real estate, also started the idea of ​​saving money.

I don't know the beauty of power in my life, and since Jiangdong's bureaucracy has been rectified, the room for maneuvering has become smaller and smaller. What's more, this small mind is ashamed to ask outsiders for advice. The only people the emperor can ask for advice are his own sisters and children. Accompanied by Shen Ahe.

After asking for advice, the emperor stared at him. Regardless of who the whole world belongs to in the future, the family's private wealth under his eyes alone, not only his elder sister's wealth is twice as rich as him, even Shen Ahe, an inconspicuous boy, is actually a deep-rooted... The rich man who hides his wealth is actually the poorest in the bottom line. Even the maintenance of the garden for so many years has always been the consumption of negative assets and little savings.
