I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 116 The power of the emperor, the royal way!
After leaving the palace, Zhu Yunzhen's brows were still furrowed.

What does Lao Zhu mean by suddenly making such a decision?

If he doesn’t plan to attend the court meeting, let him do it on his own?

Are you still planning to leave the palace and go to Yangshan to recuperate?

Is it a test of yourself, or is there another reason?
Zhu Yunzhen rubbed his temples and felt a little dizzy.

He originally thought he had figured out Lao Zhu's thoughts, but the sudden changes made him a little at a loss.

"Dao Yan, what does Grandpa Huang mean by this?"

After returning to his residence, Zhu Yunxi immediately came to Yao Guangxiao to discuss.

Yao Guangxiao is known as the "monster monk", and he has his own strengths.

Strategizing people's hearts is exactly what he is good at.

What's more, rocks from other mountains can attack jade.

Listening to other people's opinions may inspire you.

Yao Guangxiao touched his chin and said: "Your Majesty is worried about His Majesty the Grand Sun!"

Zhu Yunzhen was shocked.

To this day, does Lao Zhu still doubt him?
"You tell me."

He took a little snack from the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it lightly to relieve his anxiety.

Yao Guangxiao seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the person Your Majesty is suspicious of is not His Highness, but the officials in the imperial court."

"Your Majesty did this because he was afraid that His Royal Highness would not be able to restrain the officials in the court due to his young age."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Let His Highness face the officials alone. If there is any problem, just expose it and His Majesty can handle it."

"It's the same reason why I went to Yangshan to recuperate and no longer deal with government affairs."

"His Royal Highness has full power and is dictatorial in political affairs. If the ministers of the DPRK are dissatisfied, they will jump out."

"If His Highness can control all the civil and military officials without being hijacked by them, then if something unexpected happens to Your Majesty, His Highness will ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and the Ming Dynasty will have no worries."

"If not, His Majesty will use the power of thunder to cleanse the court and eliminate hidden dangers for His Highness."

Zhu Yunxi's pupils shrank slightly.

Historically, Lao Zhu formed the strongest prince team in history for Prince Zhu Biao.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, Liao Yongzhong, Lan Yu... Almost all the nobles in the court were from the prince's palace, or were related to the prince by marriage.

Lao Zhu was also very relieved to leave state affairs to Zhu Biao.

Suspicion of the prince is almost a common problem of most emperors.

After all, the prince is the only one who can legitimately inherit the power of the emperor.

Once the emperor dies, the prince can succeed to the throne.

Because of this, most emperors in history were guarding against the prince and would not give the prince too much power.

Even Tang Taizong Li Shimin is the same.

From beginning to end, he had been guarding against Li Chengqian.

But Lao Zhu is an exception, he has almost unconditional trust in the prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunxi's father.

In order for him to take over smoothly, Lao Zhu sent most of the important officials in the court to the East Palace.

But when Zhu Biao died, the situation suddenly changed, and Lao Zhu quickly began to clean up the court.

Most of the honorable ministers with great military exploits and high positions died in this unprecedented purge.

After hearing Dao Yan's words, Zhu Yunzhen understood.

Lao Zhu wants him to "simulate succession" to see if he can control the court and stabilize the world.

If there is any problem, Lao Zhu is still alive anyway, so he can still step forward to clean up the mess and wipe his ass.

Otherwise, if Lao Zhu died suddenly, but Zhu Yunxi could not control the court situation, Daming would be in danger.

After thinking about this, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt a little happy and sad.

Fortunately, what Lao Zhu suspected was not himself.

On the contrary, he still trusts himself very much.

What is worrying is that at this time, Lao Zhu has completely handed over the court to him, and Zhu Yunxi is really afraid that he will not be able to stabilize himself.

Even though those officials now treat him respectfully, they don't dare to be dissatisfied at all.

But Zhu Yunzhen knew very well that this was all because of Lao Zhu's support.

Otherwise, as a seven-year-old child, it would be difficult for him to completely surrender.

Zhu Yunxi is not absolutely sure whether he can deter the officials now.

But he knew very well that there was no need to rush.

Because Lao Zhu still has six years to live.

Six years later, no matter what, he can control the court and deter all officials.

Why bother to be in a hurry.

But Lao Zhu seemed to have no confidence in his life expectancy, and was afraid that if he died suddenly, Zhu Yunxi would not be able to control the group of rebellious civil servants and arrogant nobles, so he couldn't wait to get rid of the hidden dangers.

Zhu Yunxuan took a deep breath and asked: "Daoyan, the emperor will not attend the meeting tomorrow. What should I do to suppress those people?"

He had to worry.

The establishment of the Advisory Office is to seize the power of the civil servants, and the Military Affairs Office has taken the power of the generals and nobles.

The secret playing system will make everyone feel in danger.

With the shrewdness of these people, it is impossible not to see through this.

Even though Zhu Yunxuan induced them to take the initiative to play, and then caught them by surprise with the force of thunder, and made them shoot themselves in the foot, it was too late to regret it.

But without Lao Zhu to keep them in check, these people would have turned their backs on the spot, believing that the regulations of the Advisory Office were inappropriate and that if they failed to attack the secret report system, things would be difficult to handle.

"The royal way is swaying."

Yao Guangxiao said: "His Royal Highness has always believed that he has a shallow foundation in the court. He has neither the support of civil officials nor the help of military generals. He has a name and righteousness, but he has no real power foundation."

"But Your Highness, don't forget that the foundation of ruling the world is precisely fame and righteousness."

"Everyone can find and punish the rebellious ministers and traitors who violate the honor and righteousness."

"His Highness's methods, talents, scheming, and strategies are all unparalleled in the world."

"What your Majesty is concerned about is that His Highness's "majesty" is not enough to suppress the ministers."

"Your Highness led the troops to kill Wu Wanggeng's family and eradicate the rebellion. How majestic and decisive the killing was! Why did you tie your hands and feet when facing the officials of the court?"

Zhu Yunxi was shocked, and asked: "What do you mean, if someone objects in the court tomorrow, I will suppress it with a thunderbolt? Or just kill him?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly it."

"Only in this way can Your Majesty see His Majesty's majesty, be able to control the court, and control all civil and military officials, and then be able to trust His Highness with the Ming Dynasty."

A word of speech is like pulling out the clouds and seeing the fog.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized.

Yes.

He is now the grandson of the emperor and the supervisor of the country.

It is his authority to act as an agent in state affairs and deal with hundreds of officials.

But his thoughts have not completely changed yet.

He has been fighting wits and courage with the officials as an ordinary emperor and grandson, and is still self-satisfied.

I thought it was great to play with officials in the palm of my hand.

But what is Lao Zhu's method for dealing with officials?
——Kill them all!
Whoever dares to object, then kill him!
The killing was so bloody that the heads were rolling and the blood was flowing like rivers.

A battle of wits and courage?Playing tricks?
Except for tricking them on establishing the emperor's grandson, Lao Zhu was too lazy to do this most of the time.

Because they don't deserve it.

One is the king and the other is the minister.

Status is inherently unequal.

If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want to kill, you can kill.

Simple and crude.

But because of this, officials were all trembling with fear when facing Lao Zhu.

But now that he is a prisoner and holds great power, he is still worried about being unable to control the court and worrying about the opposition of those people. Isn't it ridiculous?

Wisdom and power can be used occasionally by emperors.

But by no means fundamental.

If, as an emperor, he has always had to fight for power with his courtiers and wits with them in order to control power, it can only mean that he has lost his real power a long time ago.

An emperor who really holds great power doesn't have to be like this at all.

He was wrong!
Without the "power" to suppress the ministers, how could Lao Zhu safely hand over these thousands of miles of country and the world to him.

A smile slowly formed on the corner of Zhu Yunxi's mouth.

This is the benefit of having a counselor by your side.

There are always places he can't think of that can inspire him and expand his thinking.

"it is good."

Zhu Yunwen said: "Tomorrow, let Jiang Yu lead three hundred imperial guards outside the hall to listen to orders. If there is a radical change, suppress it immediately."

He stood up, paced, walked outside, and looked up.

At this time, the sun is already west, the sunset is red, and the sky is full of sunset clouds.
