Chapter 2 The Prince
When he opened his eyes again, listening to the conversation between the two women in gorgeous ancient costumes, he quickly figured out what dynasty he was in and whose body he had traveled through time.Then I spit out all the curse words in Chinese, English, Japanese, French, Russian, German and Latin that I could remember.

"Wow wow wow..." Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, there was always only one sound that came out of my mouth, the cry of a baby.

Later, Hong Tao felt relieved when he thought about this incident. It seemed that he couldn't blame those guys in the sky. If he was to blame, he had to blame himself for not saying his prayer clearly before his death.In terms of wealth and power, who can compare with the emperors of ancient China?

The request was indeed met, but it was a pity that the emperor was not the same as the emperor.For example, Emperor Wanli, the cheap dad in this life, reigned for 48 years.Another example is that the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, whom he possessed, only reigned for 30 days... one in the sky and one on the earth.

As the ancients said, comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.Hong Tao has never been a troubled person and can find a reason for relief in everything.This time was no exception. The yelling and crying stopped after a while, and I thought about it.

Compared with many princes in history who have never been emperors, he seems to be a little stronger.In any case, I have passed the 30 days of emperor addiction.

What if you were allowed to travel back in time to Chongzhen and truly be the emperor for more than ten years?Seeing that the building is about to collapse, my mind is full of solutions and my body is full of abilities, but I can only watch the country collapse and die.There is too little time to change anything.

Now, it has been more than ten years since the Qing troops entered the customs. It has been several decades, and the country has a little more vitality than it did at the time of Chongzhen.If you plan carefully and make good use of it, you might be able to save something.

Of course, I still don’t have enough time for myself.No matter how anxious you are, you can't do any abnormal behavior before the 15-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, otherwise your life may be in danger, and there will be nothing else to talk about.

There is only one word at this time, and that is tolerance!As the saying goes, tolerance means a knife to the head.This word is easy to say and write, but difficult to practice.

Zhu Changluo rarely saw his father after he was born. Even though Emperor Wanli had to admit his son under the pressure of the Empress Dowager, he always ignored him.The Jingyang Palace where the mother and son lived became a veritable cold palace. Not only did they receive no care, but all expenses were the lowest among all the harems.

Fortunately, before she was elected to the palace, Concubine Gong was only from a low-level military officer's family, so she was not pampered, so she did not feel too uncomfortable if she lived a poor life.Zhu Changluo, possessed by Hong Tao, is more sensible and never cries or makes trouble when no one else is around, which saves his already unfortunate biological mother a lot of worry.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, was an unlucky child who lacked father's love and Confucian education since childhood, had a dull personality, a mild temper, was not good at speaking, and had no sense of existence.

But Hong Tao can endure and is good at it.For people who only live with zombies every day in the Siberian wilderness, as long as they can live normally in the human world, they are extremely rich in material. Even if they are trapped in the cold palace, their living standards are still much higher than those of the ordinary people outside.

As for the spiritual level...the biological mother Wang and the eunuchs and maids in Jingyang Palace may feel that their fate is unfair, their future is hopeless, and they are lonely and cold, but Hong Tao does not.

In addition to dealing with the things he has to do every day, he spends all his time reading and practicing calligraphy.From time to time, I stayed up late until late at night. Not only did I not feel bored, I often lamented that time flies by and time flies by.

It took almost seven years for Hong Tao to make a plan for the next hundred years, including not only the general direction but also the specific details.From consolidating one's position step by step to seizing power bit by bit, to how to deal with internal troubles and foreign enemies, everything is covered.

But just having a plan is not enough. After all, everyone can talk on paper. If you want to realize it, you have to put it into action.But as a prince who grew up in a deep palace, it was extremely difficult to move.As long as there is the slightest abnormality, the eunuchs and maids around him will secretly report it. If you want to avoid them, you need an opportunity, such as canonizing the crown prince.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, after the prince was crowned prince or king, he could no longer live in the harem and had to go out to live in eight mansions and open offices.Although the prince, unlike other princes, was still inseparable from the Forbidden City, he could also live alone without the harem.Even though the East Palace is also within the Forbidden City, it is still easier to come into contact with people and things outside than the Jingyang Palace, or in other words, it is necessary to come into contact.As a prince, no matter whether the emperor likes it or not, he cannot completely control the growth of the prince.

In order to make the prince more in line with the definition of the emperor, the courtiers will desperately request that he be equipped with qualified teachers, accompanying readers and officials of the East Palace, and gradually let the prince participate in the process of handling national affairs, further familiarize himself with the work process, and prepare for the future. Always be prepared for the day!

Hong Tao understood these principles, but he still didn't know how to operate and prepare.It's not that there is a lack of historical knowledge, but that this kind of thing is too secretive and unpopular. It is difficult to get a full picture without personal experience. After all, the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were two completely different dynasties.

"Wang An..." But it doesn't matter if I don't know, we can ask.

"Master Chitose, my servant is here..." Hearing the voice, one person urged his horse to catch up a few steps and bowed his head in response.

"How should we arrange the trivial matters in the palace?" Hong Tao also slowed down his horse and walked alongside him, ready to listen.

This middle-aged man wearing a three-mountain crown and a blue-colored robe has a pale face and a thin figure. He speaks smoothly and softly. His voice is slightly hoarse, as if he is a little short of energy, but his eyes are very smart.

He is a eunuch, also known as a eunuch.In the 22nd year of Wanli, he was assigned by the emperor to serve as a companion in Jingyang Palace. Along with the canonization of the crown prince, he was also awarded the post of Chief of the Dianxi Bureau, ranking from the fifth rank.

When he first came here, he didn't take him seriously. He thought he was another unlucky guy who didn't care for his uncle, or he had offended some powerful people in the palace and was kicked to the cold palace. time.

After all, the status of Jingyang Palace was very low, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a cold palace. The eunuchs and maids sent to work here were either old, weak, sick, or disabled with no future prospects.

But after getting along with him for a while, Hong Tao found that this guy was a little different.Within a few months, he beat an eunuch to a semi-crippling state and strangled two palace maids to death.The reason is simple, your hands and feet are not clean!

But Hong Tao knew in his heart that except for a few royal gifts from his biological mother, there was nothing valuable in Jingyang Palace that could be exchanged for money.These three eunuchs and maids also took advantage of the opportunity to eavesdrop!

Whenever I talk to my biological mother, people often eavesdrop outside the house. This has been the norm for more than ten years.Concubine Wang Gong is relatively honest and does not know about this. She knows but can only pretend not to know.

Although he is the eldest son of the emperor, except for the empress dowager and empress, who can still look at each other and send him some clothes and food and drinks during the holidays, almost no one in the huge palace cares about him.The eunuchs and maids also had good eyesight, and it was clear at a glance who was popular and who was in disgrace.

Faced with such a prince who did not attract the emperor's favor, I dare not say that he was deliberately bullying him, and he would definitely be treated coldly and slowly.No matter how quick-thinking you are, it is human nature to want to serve Concubine Zheng early and pave the way for the future.
