Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 454 The Darkness Is Coming: Apology to Zhu Jianshen ()

If Zhu Qizhen killed the Empress Dowager Zhang in order to seize power, it would mean that Zhu Qizhen's political level was superior to others.

Zhu Jianjian has never seen a dark moment in politics. He is so well protected by his father.

"But Queen Mother Zhang deserves to die!"

"She can take power, but she can't throw away the imperial power!"

"After all, she didn't regard herself as a member of the Zhu family. She regarded herself as an outsider and turned her elbows outward!"

"The Orthodox Emperor has taken back everything that belongs to him."

"But he violently overthrew everything Empress Dowager Zhang had done."

"Sanyang is very selfish, but we have to admit that they are capable and the policies they formulate for the country are good."

"Their political achievements cannot be destroyed because of their selfish motives."

"Empress Dowager Zhang turned her elbows outward, but during the seven years she was in power, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous."

"At least to the people, they all have merit."

"But the Zhengtong Emperor overturned their political achievements and used his own shallow political ideas to construct new political concepts. How old was he at the time? He didn't know how to govern a country!"

"Using Wang Zhen to govern the country?"

"I say he is diligent, but if he works hard in the wrong direction, what's the use?"

"If he were smarter, he shouldn't overthrow the political environment that San Yang worked so hard to create."

"He cannot vent his anger on the government just because the imperial power has been stolen."

"He is a spoiled child after all. I can understand him."

"Fortunately, he is still rational and pulled back the wrong political track in time, so I say he is a qualified emperor."

"In order to conceal the historical truth, he was quite tolerant of the people of Empress Dowager Zhang."

"In the end, it's me who will kill them."

"It also helped him completely cover up this history."

"No one in the history field thinks that Emperor Zhengtong killed Empress Dowager Zhang."

"Because I need to maintain the royal face."

"In front of the people of the world, the royal family should be harmonious and should not be all conspiracy and calculation. It should make a good start for future generations."

"I treat my son well, and I hope you will treat your son well, and your grandson will treat your son well."

"The royal family has always followed the eldest son inheritance system. If there is a direct eldest son, there will be no eldest son. The emperor's successor must have a legitimate son first and then a eldest son. If there are no children three years after the eldest son's wedding, both husband and wife must have their health checked and cannot be blamed. in women."

"Treat the disease when it is sick, and only when it is clear can you be blessed with other women."

"If there is no legitimate son in five years, the queen can be deposed."

"A woman who enters the palace must undergo an examination by the imperial physician to ensure that there are no defects in her birth before she can get married. If there are no defects in her birth, she can basically become pregnant."

"If the prince or grandson is ill, you can pass him and choose the next one."

"Fourth, remember, this is a national policy. No one is allowed to mess with the order of succession. The inheritance cannot be messed up because of the emperor's personal preferences."

"The eldest son has no right to inherit. Only in the following circumstances: illness, disability, no heirs within five years, and rebellion. Only under these four circumstances can the eldest son be deposed and the succession passed over the eldest son."

"Except for these four circumstances, the prince is not allowed to be changed under any circumstances."

"Furthermore, after the emperor ascends the throne, he must immediately establish a prince and establish a grandson. The eldest son of the eldest son is the grandson, and must be established early."

"This is the ancestral system, the king of future generations. No one is allowed to change it, and no one is allowed to change it for any reason. Those who change it are not allowed to become emperors!"

Zhu Jianji quickly responded.

The old emperor would pass on the imperial edict, and it would also need to be stamped by each yamen and promulgated to the world.

"Brothers and brothers respect each other."

"As the eldest son, you must be friendly to your younger brothers. After me, the Ming Dynasty will allocate no land to the vassal kings."

"The grandson's sons will no longer be granted vassal status."

"You are not allowed to leave the capital to become a vassal king. You must stay in the capital. You cannot leave the capital even half a step without obeying the imperial edict, and you will no longer be entrusted with fiefdoms. The palace of one hundred princes in the capital is enough to live in."

"The vassal system will be re-established starting from me."

"I have long determined that those who have meritorious service cannot be given the title of prince. The prince will only be a county king when he is born. The emperor's grandson will be a general who governs the country. The son of the emperor's great-grandson will be a general who assists the country. After that, There is no ban.”

"Prefecture princes are allowed to participate in politics, and those below the fourth level can participate in the military, politics, and business normally without any restrictions."

When Zhu Jianjian wanted to speak, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "After all, the Ming Dynasty cannot be strong forever, and the emperor cannot always be a wise king. There will inevitably be ignorant masters."

"At this time, it would be a good thing if the clan has a wise and wise king to assist it."

"And if the vassal king does not hold military power, how can he wear a yellow robe?"

"It's okay if the yellow robe is added to the body. After all, such a dim-witted lord will be a waste in the future world situation. How can he lead our Ming Dynasty forward?"

"It's better to replace him with someone who is outstanding and promising."

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Only those princes who have meritorious service can be crowned princes."

"Furthermore, the princes of the clan and counties can only ennoble the three sons and three daughters. The other children need to go to the imperial examinations to gain fame."

"What the clan wants is talented people and ministers, not useless people or raising pigs!"

"The overall situation of the world is different. The existence of the emperor system depends on whether the royal family can maintain the dignity that the royal family should have."

"I still want to be demoted! Implement the grace order!"

"After one generation, the demotion will begin!"

"If you want to keep your title, you have to work hard, gain fame, and serve the country in officialdom and on the battlefield, and you can keep your title."

"Moreover, the clan can do business, but the scale of business must be limited. Later generations of kings must pay attention to selecting talents from the clan to serve the country and the court."

"From now on, the Ming vassal king will no longer raise pigs."

"Instead, let the prince and the prince compete together and run on a track. The one who falls behind will starve to death! The one who falls will be trampled to death!"

"The royal family, if you want to be strong, you must raise Gu!"

"The one who survives must be the strongest to lead my Ming Dynasty forward."

"If you want to maintain the dignity of the royal family, you have to work harder than others, be stronger than the world, and let the world recognize your abilities, so that you can maintain dignity!"

"Always remember, dignity is earned by oneself, not given by others!"

"This is a family motto!"

"Those who can't do it are none other than my descendants, Zhu Qiyu!"

"Fourth, I know you also have an idea and want to plan for the future of Ming Dynasty."

"I can let you plan other things, but not this matter. Listen to me. The royal family is not strong. Sooner or later, there will be a powerful enemy who will step on the royal family and massacre the clan."

"Instead of being slaughtered by outsiders, it's better for me to raise Gu!"

"No one in the Zhu family is afraid of death. When a man dies, he will die. Life and death must be vigorous."

"This is the backbone I will reshape for the Ming Dynasty!"

"The Zhu family must set an example for the Ming Dynasty! Maintain the dignity of the royal family!"

"There must never be another Zhu Qizhen!"

"I can't afford to lose this person!"

"My children and grandchildren can only die standing up, not live on their knees. If there are no enemies, they will create enemies. The royal family will roll up their own sleeves. When only the last one is left, he will be the wise man who assists the emperor!"

"If the emperor is incompetent, he will replace the emperor!"

"Da Ming, you must have backbone!"

"Where does the backbone come from? It was injected by the Zhu family!"

"If the royal family doesn't raise Gu, where will the most powerful people come from, and where will the dignity of the royal family come from! How can they maintain the backbone of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Everyone is going to die. It's better to die in silence than to die in silence!"

Zhu Qiyu's face showed a cold and stern look: "In my life, I hate the few emperors the most, Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozu of the Song Dynasty, and Gaozong of the Song Dynasty!"

"There are no weaklings, no moths, and no waste in my bloodline, Zhu Qiyu."

"If he is a waste, let his brothers kill him. He does not deserve to enjoy the land under the sun, let alone the wealth I have given him!"

"My descendants will all be heroes!"

"Let them roll, let them kill!"

"Kill out a strong Ming Dynasty!"

"The cultivation of the clan is the top priority. Don't be wary of the clan. As long as the inheritance system of the eldest son is not chaotic, the stronger the clan, the more help the emperor will have!"

"If the king of future generations dares to mess up the eldest son inheritance system, then he deserves to be replaced!"

"As long as the eldest son succession system exists, the clan will be the emperor's foundation, and his uncles and brothers will assist him and secure the throne."

"If an emperor can't even deal with a bunch of uncles and brothers in the clan, then it's a failure in the emperor's education. He might as well stop sitting on the throne and go home to nurse his children!"

"The Ming Dynasty that I have created is a Ming Dynasty that is strong and strong!"

"For future generations, no one is allowed to fall into the spirit of Huang Ming!"

"My son knows." Zhu Jianjian was helpless. He couldn't refuse something that his father insisted on.

He actually wants to continue the pig-raising strategy.

But he couldn't preview future generations, and he didn't know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the clan didn't even have a talented clan king, so the Qing Dynasty was allowed to gain power.

If future generations have another Liu Xiu, nothing will happen to the Qing Dynasty.

"You have to give the clan a good start."

"The throne has been determined since birth. Stop thinking about seizing the direct descendants and focus on supporting and cultivating the clan."

"The vassal prince's education must be the same as that of the prince. Except for the emperor's mental skills, he must learn everything else."

"Children from ordinary families have to study for eight hours a day, while children from clan families have to study for 12 or even 16 hours!"

"Just like what I teach you, the ministers of the court and the central government should be the teachers of the children of the clan. Let them beat and scold them as they please. Beat them to death and pull them down. If they are beaten to death, you will personally issue a decree to send a banner and a medal!"

"If you are born into a clan, you have to work harder than children from common people's families. Only then will you be better than others in the future, and only then will you be qualified to be the king!"

"The power of demotion must be in the hands of the clan government."

"If any child does not study hard, he will be demoted, his title will be taken away, and he will be demoted to a commoner."

"Anyone who dares to protect you will be kicked out of the clan with his son. My clan will not raise useless people!"

"Remember it, this is the ancestral teaching."

"Whoever dares to be evil, I will make everyone in the world turn against him!"

Zhu Jianji couldn't laugh or cry. How could an emperor instigate the people to rebel?

"The clan education is also very important to the son. The success of all of his forty-one brothers mainly depends on education, and the son does not have to worry about it." Zhu Jianzhen agreed with this point.

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Education, the education of the people of the world, the education of the royal family, is the top priority."

"When the grandson succeeds to the throne, the clan will probably be prosperous. We should pay attention to the education of the clan king and cultivate clan talents. Like the Tang Dynasty, let the clan talents enter the military and political field. At least when the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, there will be some resistance."

"There are also princesses, princesses, and relatives who can also use it as appropriate."

"I'll leave this matter to you to complete. I don't care about it anymore."

Zhu Qiyu exhaled a breath: "Huh, brothers and sisters are respectful, it's somewhat ironic to put it on me."

"I didn't even do it."

"Brother is friendly to me, and I am respectful to him."

"He was good to me, but he was guilty of Ming Dynasty. My descendants won't learn from him, right?"

Zhu Jianjian trembled: "Dad, there are no strong enemies like Wala now."

"If there is no Wala, there is Wei, Zhou, Shang, Yuan, and Xia. Which one is weaker than Wala? Do my children and grandchildren also want to study in a foreign country?"

"Absolutely not!" Zhu Jianjian promised.

"I hope so. Who can say what will happen in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to say anything more: "Come back, if I don't tell these things, future generations will not know."

"After seizing the door."

"The situation seems to be in my hands, but in fact it's just the courtiers avoiding the edge."

"Chen Xun and his party do not want me to take back the imperial power."

"Zhu Qizhen is watching with eager eyes, and his followers are hiding underground again."

"The Queen Mother Sun has begun to be extremely wary of me."

"Yu Qian also became invisible again and chose to observe me silently."

"Most of the ministers in the court chose to wait and see, which actually supported Chen Xun."

"I have said that Chen Xun is not a member of the Zhengtong Emperor. It was me who put a shit basin on his head in order to exterminate him."

"At the same time, clean up Nangong again and torture all the palace servants who serve Nangong."

"Strictly control Nangong."

"I don't have the manpower to guard Nangong, so I will torture the people in Nangong to death, and then not allow people to come in or out. Then I will send eunuchs to keep disgusting him, that's all."

"What I did was a bit petty."

"But it's the only thing I can do."

"I can't kill him." "Once he dies, the temporary stability of the government will collapse, and his followers will never be able to surface."

"Once he dies, Queen Mother Sun will go crazy, and my identity will be questioned."

"As soon as he dies, Chen Xun will use this to attack me. I have no imperial power, and I will be helpless at that time."

"If I can't kill him, I will disgust him!"

"Chen Xunke gave me a lot of problems. I was in Dashui, Shandong, and in the border town of Wa Lakou. I was very worried. Wang Yue's leg was broken in Shandong. There was also a censor named Zhang Peng. The Jinshi I valued very much died in Shandong."

"The tiles were knocking on the edge. At that time, the people in the court were like frightened birds. They all thought that Xuazhen could not resist."

"I ask Yu Qian to take command and go out."

"Xu Xian's father, Xu Heng, went to war despite being ill and died on the battlefield. He was so strong in Ming Dynasty."

"Jiang Wan and Zhao Fu both became famous in a single battle on the battlefield of Xuanzhen."

"That war was also the one that Yu Qian regretted most throughout his life. He used the lives of the people of Xuanzhen to exchange for victory in the war. It was also that battle that became a knot in his heart."

"Victory in the war does not mean that I have won."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Military is just an extension of politics."

"Chen Xun was aggressive in the court."

"It's in Qinzheng Hall, originally called Xinuang Pavilion. I killed many people with my own hands, and then forced Chen Xun back."

"Chen Xun, he regards me as an imaginary enemy."

"But I have never regarded him as an opponent. My eyes have always been fixed on Zhu Qizhen."

"I'm waiting for the opportunity to deal with Chen Xun."

"Also waiting for the opportunity to deal with Zhu Qizhen."

"A man who has been emperor for fourteen years and who launches a coup to seize the throne, I can't be too careful about him."

"Besides the fact that Queen Mother Sun holds the handle on me, I also have a huge weakness, that is, I have no heirs."

"After Zhu Jianji died, I only had two daughters left, and my youngest daughter Shoukang died of illness, so Gu'an was the only one left."

"An emperor has only one daughter. I was thirty years old at the time."

"After thirty days and noon, I can call myself an old man, but I don't even have a son. Even though I blocked the attempt to seize the door, I can't stop the three of them from becoming a tiger!"

"People's words are scary. An emperor without a son, can he sit on the throne?"

"This is Chen Xun's biggest weapon against me."

"It's also the Queen Mother Sun's biggest leverage against me."

"This is also the reason why Zhu Qizhen was able to be at peace despite being tortured in Nangong."

"I have no son, and the crown prince will still be Zhu Jianshen. If I die, the throne will be passed to Zhu Jianshen, and the throne will return to the Zhu Qizhen lineage. My posthumous reputation will be completely lost."

"I have said before that although I am sitting on the throne, I am still three people away from the throne, Prince Xiang, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Qizhen!"

"Prince Xiang was cooked by me."

"Zhu Jianshen has no fault, and Zhu Jianshen is very smart. He knows how to hide his clumsiness and expose his own weaknesses."

"Wan, do you remember? She hugged you when you were a child?"

Zhu Jianjian nodded: "My eldest sister-in-law is very friendly to my son. When my son went out to play in the palace when he was young, he would go to his eldest brother's house."

He also knew that Zhu Jianshen had been the prince for many years.

We also know that Zhu Jianshen is Zhu Qizhen’s son.

But in his memory, the old man treated Zhu Jianshen very well and regarded him as his own. He was also different from other sons in the fiefdom and gave Zhu Jianshen the most.

In the past, he thought that the old man owed Zhu Jianshen for taking away his crown prince position, but now he saw that there was something hidden in it.

"Zhu Jianshen is a smart boy."

"He was only ten years old when the incident occurred."

"He was only two years old when I raised him. It can be said that I raised him."

"But I'm not nice to him."

"My thoughts are all on Zhu Jianji."

"I felt sorry for Zhu Jianshen. After I woke up, I continued to compensate Zhu Jianshen. I raised several of his children as my own grandchildren. Like the current King Yuan (Zhu Youtang), he never felt that I was not his. My biological grandfather, I always love him more."

"Wan, she is his personal maid."

"Wan is older than him, but she has helped him grow up and protected him all the way."

"In that dark East Palace, Wan was his beacon, illuminating his future."

"The most important woman in his life was deliberately exposed to me as a weakness at a critical moment."

"How else can I say he is smart?"

"If he had no weaknesses, I would have killed him during the attack. He saved himself with his cleverness."

"However, now that I think about it, I was too narrow-minded at the time."

"It's really my fault. He is a two-year-old child. Since I have adopted him, he is my biological son. Why should I blame him harshly?"

"Ever since we adopted him, I have been indifferent to him."

"When I was ten years old, I used him as a shield during the rebellion."

"What were you doing when you were ten?"

"Being by your parents' side, being pampered by your parents."

"But I am so cruel to my adopted son."

"After all, I am ashamed of him."

"Moreover, after seizing the door, I took every possible precaution against him. I tried every possible means to test him and sent people to torture him."

"Zhu Jianshen had a strong psychological quality. If it were anyone else, he would have gone crazy. His untimely death is closely related to the unfortunate experiences in his childhood."

"So, I will give him as much territory as he wants."

"Zhu Youtang wants the title of Yuan Dynasty, and I will give it to him."

"Zhu Youqian asked me for the French national title, and I gave it to him."

"These little kids are not much younger than you, so they have grown up with you. Now you understand why I cared a little more about them when they were young, right?"

"I'm compensating Zhu Jianshen."

"He is a good boy and a good emperor."

"I was too harsh on him."

"It was Jingtai's ten years until I had my own son! I finally woke up, but Zhu Jianshen was afraid of me. He trembled when he saw me. In his heart, I had become a devil and he could never go back. "

"Now that I think about it, I was wrong."

"I wrote my repentance in the memorial text to him, but he couldn't hear it."

"When he became an adult, he was filial to me, but I could feel the estrangement in his heart. At that time, I was ambitiously exploring the world and didn't care about his feelings."

"Then he was kicked out of the country."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The most right thing I did was to give him the Wan family. It was also this thing that slightly changed his impression of me."

"At that moment, I wanted to take over the Wan family."

Zhu Jianjian was shocked, that is your daughter-in-law!

"At that time, Wan was just a palace maid, and Zhu Jianshen was only ten years old."

"I'm just threatening him."

"After all, it was his own father who caused the trouble."

"This is also a disaster caused by the Queen Mother Sun."

"In order to prevent the throne from falling into my lineage, she deliberately left a huge flaw in the edict of passing the throne, which was to allow Zhu Jianshen to continue to be the crown prince."

"Because Zhu Jianshen was originally the crown prince of the Zhengtong Dynasty."

"When the Jingtai Dynasty comes, he should be the crown prince, as it should be."

"In order to ascend to the throne in a hurry, I didn't pay attention to these details, so I was deceived."

"The first time I hurt him was when I was in trouble."

"At that time, he and Zhu Jianshen had a good relationship, but after Yi Chu, Zhu Jianshen didn't speak to each other for a long time."

"I knew at that time that this little man had an exquisite heart with seven orifices, so I was even more wary of him."

"The second time was when the gate was seized."

"I blame his father's fault on him."

"If I can't kill Zhu Qizhen, I will take pleasure in torturing him."

"I hurt him."

"A ten-year-old child has suffered so much, and it has left a huge psychological shadow that affects his whole life."

"I was wrong."

"But I can't make up for it."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed with regret: "By the way, something happened in the middle, which completely changed my impression of Zhu Jianshen."

"After I exposed him for pretending to be stuttering and having a runny nose, he took the initiative to have a confidential conversation with me."

"He said that he does not seek the crown prince position, but only a vassal throne. He is willing to help me deal with Zhu Qizhen."

"He was only eleven years old that year."

"Looking back now, his ability may be greater than yours, but I ignored him."

"I had infinite anger in my chest, and I vented this anger on everyone in the world, so I was very murderous at that time."

“If you don’t have money, send troops to rob someone. If you’re not in a good mood, kill someone.”

"I'm a madman."

"Because I feel bitter in my heart. I have been a puppet emperor for eight years, and in the end I have to be poisoned and killed. I feel bitter in my heart."

"Finally, I have been waiting for my son for eight years in Jingtai."

"Empress Tang, Concubine Tan, and your mother are pregnant, and my family will finally have a baby."

"At that time, everyone in the world was relieved. It turns out that the emperor can have children."

"If the three concubines are pregnant, they will definitely give birth to a son."

"I will tell the three of them that whoever gives birth to the eldest son will be the queen, and her son will be the prince!"

"And these words almost made me have to kill my son with my own hands!"

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "This matter involves you, fourth child."

"The birth of four dragons, what does it mean?"

"It's time for you to understand now, right?"

Zhu Jianjun also found it ridiculous. His father had been looking forward to having no sons for so many years, but four of them came at once, all in one night. His father's fate was full of twists and turns.

"Do you understand my mentality this time?"

"I wish I could slaughter the harem!"

"Originally, I was in a very good mood when I learned that the concubine was pregnant. And not long after, both Concubine Lin and Concubine Song were pregnant, which means that I will have many children soon."

"I'm in a very good mood."

"Also because my concubines have become pregnant one after another, my throne has become more secure, and Chen Xun's methods of dealing with me have become ineffective."

"I am no longer so bitter towards Zhu Jianshen. Instead, I am more pleased with him. It was at that time that I rewarded him with the Wan family."

"One time, I announced him to the Qinzheng Hall. My original intention was to have a chat with him, but in the end, I looked at each other speechlessly, and in the end I couldn't say a word."

"Well, after all, there is nothing to say between me and him."

"I hurt him severely."

"I am ashamed of him."

"But I can't speak out. He should not dare to speak to me. He is afraid of me."

"I was thinking at that time that when I took full power, I would give him the life he wanted, go abroad to make him a king, and make him emperor. I supported him with all my might."

"His child, I will raise and love him as my own grandson."

"I know that he doesn't want to be in Ming Dynasty anymore, and he also wants to leave this sad place."

"I have done all this, but I can't let him and I go back to the past."

"I can't go back. I hurt him too deeply."

"Ugh."

Zhu Qiyu sighed again: "After Zhu Jianshen surrendered, I was only one Zhu Qizhen away from the throne."

"I'm just waiting. When my son is born, it's time to deal with Zhu Qizhen."

"Before that, I want to cut off Chen Xun and take back the imperial power that belongs to me!"
