Chapter 78: The New Deal of the Year
“Your Highness, the late emperor died of illness due to overwork, and there was no other reason.” Zhu Wuwu whispered to Zhu Houzhao.
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and asked them to retreat.
He threw himself on the coffin, looked at that all-too-familiar face, and started crying.
“Dad, I’m back.”
"Dad, how could you die?"
"I haven't given you the power to rule the world yet? Why did you die suddenly?"
Seeing the prince crying, I was crying. It got louder, and the Taoist monks chanted sutras and chanted mantras a little louder.
But Zhu Houzhao only thought they were noisy.
"Shut up and get out."
He turned his head and shouted angrily, scaring the entire hall into silence.
Zhu Wuwu and others had no choice but to lead everyone out of the mourning hall.
Although it is against the rules, even though this and that.
But at this time, the prince is the biggest.
When there was no one else around, Zhu Houzhao continued to cry bitterly.
The more I cry, the more uncomfortable I feel.
Why did dad die?
When he had cried enough, he began to proudly talk about this expedition, and easily defeated Kennu and Kublai Khan.
After saying enough, he became unusually silent.
It was quiet for a long time. When he walked out of the mourning hall, the mourning hall soon returned to its original state.
Some officials also joined in and cried.
Zhu Houzhao took He Ding to a side hall alone.
“What did my father say before he died?”
“Back to Your Highness, Emperor Daxing left eleven wills before he left.
Because he could not He Ding said immediately and took out the letter that he kept close to his heart.
Zhu Houzhao took it for a look.
‘Zhao’er proclaimed:
Zhao’er, dad can’t hold on anymore, dad is leaving, and he can no longer protect Zhao’er from the wind and rain.
From now on, you have to rely on yourself.
But Dad believes that Zhao'er is the most powerful, and it will only be a matter of time before he surpasses Taizu Taizong.
Until then, Zhao'er, just go to the Ancestral Temple and tell your father. ’
‘Zhao’er, dad said that when you are taller than dad, dad will give you the throne.
Now, the time has come.
After you ascend the throne, you must be a good emperor.
Dad, there is nothing worthy of praise in this life. His greatest pride is that he cares about you.
Dad believes that Zhao'er will make him proud to face his ancestors. '
"Zhao'er, you are too impatient. Remember, sometimes you can't be impatient.
And when it comes to marrying a wife, you can't imitate your father, marry more, for me The royal family of the Ming Dynasty is blooming.
It's a pity that Dad can't see Zhao'er marry and have children, and he can't hear Zhao'er's children being called grandpa.
Zhao'er's children must be very smart. Cute.
But it doesn't matter, dad will be watching from below. '
"After much thought, Zhao'er and Dad decided that the last thing we could do was to leave some wills.
These wills should be fairly comprehensive.
If there is anything you want to do, don’t just follow the officials and put the responsibility on your father’s death.
And your mother, this is the only thing my father asks of you.
Don't hurt her. It is your father's will not to interfere in politics if you have a harem. She will not stand in your way.
For dad's sake, let her die. ’
‘Zhao’er and dad are gone, don’t be sad, everyone will die eventually.
Dad just went to another place. Dad will still look at Zhao'er and bless Zhao'er forever.
Dad finally wishes Zhaoer to be happy forever. ’
Zhu Houzhao didn't cry again this time, but just read it over and over again.
Then I asked He Ding something.
More than half an hour later, he returned to the East Palace, took a bath and changed out of his armor.
Meeted with the cabinet, six ministers and others.
The following month was the most troublesome month for Zhu Houzhao in more than ten years.
But for the sake of his dead father, he mostly endured it.
Ceremony, funeral, enthronement and many other things.
A few days before taking the throne.
The cabinet sent the selection of the year name for the coming year, as well as some new policies to be announced when he ascends the throne.
Zhu Houzhao looked at a few year numbers and immediately curled his lips with disdain.
"What kind of righteousness, God's blessing, and bad titles are not domineering at all."
He cursed, rolled his eyes, and thought about it: "I want the most domineering title, Shenwu?
Hongwu? Hongwu belongs to Taizu and cannot be snatched from Taizu.
Shengwu, well, it is called Shengwu.
The imperial title of this prince is called Shengwu. ”
Liu Jin on the side responded immediately.
Continuing to look at the new policies, he blinked with clear eyes and threw away whatever was written on them.
He said confidently: "Can the cabinet write it? Can the people of the prince who write these books understand it?
Pass the decree to the cabinet, rewrite it, and the people of the prince can read it. I understand.”
Liu Jin responded and was about to deliver the order.
"Wait a minute, tell the cabinet that I will write it myself, and they don't have to worry about it.
At the enthronement ceremony, I will read it out in person." Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao thought of something and said with a smile. .
Liu Jin felt a little pitiful for the civil servants.
Articles written by the prince himself should not be so easily accepted by civil servants.
But what does this have to do with him?
As long as the prince is happy.
Prince Yizhi arrived at the cabinet, and soon the three elders of the cabinet came to Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Highness, isn't the word "Shengwu" about the year title a little inappropriate?" Li Dongyang was the first to speak. Shengwu, this is uncomfortable to hear.
"What's wrong? Don't you think it's very domineering?" Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.
"Your Highness and the reign title should be His Highness's ambition and should not be too domineering." Xie Qian said tactfully.
"It just so happens that holy martial arts can best reflect the aspirations of this prince.
A born saint with unparalleled martial arts skills.
Besides, why can't you be too domineering? Who dares to object? "Zhu Houzhao said domineeringly.
The three elders in the cabinet were silent for a moment and did not get entangled in this matter.
"His Royal Highness and the reign name can be written with the word "Shengwu", but why should His Highness write the New Deal himself?
If Your Highness is dissatisfied with what the ministers and others have written, you can point it out and the ministers and others will change it.< br>
Why bother Your Highness to write it yourself?" Liu Jian, the first assistant, spoke earnestly.
The reign name can be compromised, but when writing the New Deal, the prince must not be allowed to act recklessly.
Although they didn’t say anything about the prince’s literary talent, they all knew it.
If it were really written by the prince, then these people should be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Where are you dissatisfied? I am not satisfied with anything.
Can the people understand the new policies you wrote?
Which idiot wrote this?
Can you write articles?
What kind of bullshit is a piece of writing that the common people can’t understand? "Zhu Houzhao scolded unceremoniously.
The scolding Liu Jian and the three of them were startled, and their old faces couldn't help but blush.
They were angry and ashamed.
The prince is this Don't give them any face.
And it has been written like this in all dynasties. The prince is simply unreasonable.
"Also, of course I know the prince's new policies best.
How do you know what I want to do?
Why do you write it? What do you write? Do you know what this prince wants to do? Any ideas?" Zhu Houzhao continued.
"Your Highness, why do you have to humiliate me like this? I only want the stability of the court and have no selfish motives.
I hope your Highness will think twice." Xie Qian looked at the other two people and thought He sighed, saluted solemnly.
"Humiliation? Why did this prince humiliate you?" Zhu Houzhao asked in confusion.
Looking at the prince's sincere confusion, Liu Jian and the others became a little silent and even more depressed.
The prince really didn’t seem to be humiliating them on purpose.
It’s just my temperament.
Say what you want to say and scold if you want to scold.
What if it doesn't matter who they are?
But this seems to be more troublesome.
"I made a mistake and misunderstood. Please punish me, Your Highness." Xie Qian admitted his mistake simply.
“What’s so inexplicable?” Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said, but he didn’t care.
Then he waved his hands and said confidently and proudly: "Don't worry, my literary talent is unparalleled in the world, and I know how to govern the country best.
Just wait and hear.
This prince is the most tolerant. I won’t blame you this time, but you must also learn a lesson. No matter what you write next time, you must write something that the people can understand.
Do you know?
Okay, if you have nothing to do, just step aside. I still have many things to be busy with. ”
Is it written so that your highness can understand it?
Do we still have to thank His Highness for your kindness?
Liu Jian and the others felt awkward and even more depressed.
Suddenly, some people didn’t know how to deal with this Crown Prince.
Because of what happened today and what happened in the past month, they suddenly realized and understood that this Crown Prince was completely different from the previous Emperors Chenghua and Hongzhi.
No matter what appearance, what emperor’s intentions, what this and that.
Everything you say and do depends on your own will.
The problem is that he still feels that he is right and others are wrong.
What should they do?
Good advice?
Stern advice?
Or risk your life to dissuade you?
The three people's peripheral vision met and they felt a kind of pain.
What they would rather face at this time is the emperor who is as scheming as the sea.
I don’t want to face the Crown Prince either.
Because no matter how scheming the emperor is, he will always listen to advice, will weigh the pros and cons, and will tell some truths that the world agrees with.
But this one seems to be unreasonable at all.
In other words, his principles are different from those of the world.
What to do?
As cabinet ministers, they did not dare to act rashly and easily confront the prince, especially the unreasonable prince.
But this matter cannot be compromised easily.
After pondering, Li Dongyang, who is always quick-witted, said: "Your Highness, if you wrote it yourself, can you let me wait and see it after you finish it?"
When Liu Jian heard this, they understood. Written?
After getting the content, it is not too late to give advice.
It is not appropriate to have a hard time with the prince now.
"Okay, no problem." Zhu Houzhao agreed.
"Then I'll take my leave first." The three of them bowed.
Before leaving, Liu Jian suddenly felt a little uneasy and said cautiously: "Your Highness, in three days the ministers will come face to face to persuade them to come in.
Your Highness, do you have any opinions?"< br>
The matter of persuading people to advance should be a tacit understanding among all ministers and should not be mentioned in advance in front of the monarch.
But he is really worried about the prince. Will something happen again?
"No objection, just give me advice." Zhu Houzhao said casually.
Liu Jian could not say any more and resigned.
Seeing them leaving, Zhu Houzhao immediately began to write his own New Deal.
I write as I think, and I revise it from time to time.
After more than half an hour, I felt dissatisfied and decided to think about it tomorrow.
Then I went to practice.
