The square was quiet, and all the ministers' eyes were focused on Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houcong. They were both emperors who were worshiped by thousands of people, and they were also direct cousins.
Zhu Houzhao looked at him quietly, with a calm look in his eyes that was a bit intimidating. Zhu Houcong knelt in front of him with his head bowed, his expression frightened but fearful, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
After a long time, Zhu Houzhao spoke leisurely.
"Zhu Houcong, the second legitimate son of Emperor Xing's uncle, inherited the royal title because his eldest son died young. He was canonized as Prince Xing in the summer of the 14th year of Zhengde. In the autumn of the 14th year, he was welcomed into the capital by the courtiers of the capital, and became the emperor. He ascended the throne less than two months ago, and the courtiers Because of the dispute over etiquette, they went on a killing spree. One hundred and thirteen courtiers of fourth rank or above were killed with sticks in front of the Chengtian Gate, just because they did not want to honor the late Emperor Hongzhi as their father, and wanted to make King Xingxian the late emperor"
Zhu Houcong suddenly showed an expression of extreme grievance and indignation, and knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his fists tightly clenched, as if he had infinite grievances.
Zhu Houzhao looked at him coldly and said, "Did I make a mistake?"
Zhu Houcong gritted his teeth, and inadvertently caught sight of Qin Kan's cold eyes as his eyes moved. Thinking of his current situation, Zhu Houcong sighed in despair and cried: "Your Majesty is right, my brother killed the courtiers indiscriminately for his own selfish desires, which is a heinous crime." also."
Hearing Zhu Houcong¡¯s admission with his own ears, the crowd of ministers suddenly let out a loud roar, with angry looks on their faces, and countless angry eyes focused on Zhu Houcong for an instant.
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "Ministers are the most important weapon of the country. I have been emperor for fourteen years, and there are many people who disagree with the political views of the courtiers, but I have never issued an order to kill a minister. We have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years. From Hongwu and Yongle to Chenghua and Hongzhi, I have never killed more than a hundred ministers in one day. Zhu Houcong, I never thought that I would set a precedent in your hands. What do you think of my Ming Dynasty's most important treasure?"
Many ministers burst into tears when they heard this, and the square was filled with weeping.
Zhu Houcong's life was hanging in the hands of others, so he simply accepted his fate and memorized the murder without saying a word. He fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, my brother's crime is very serious. I ask your Majesty to punish me. I will never say anything."
Zhu Houzhao looked at him with pity and sighed: "Zhu Houzhao, you are only twelve years old. After all, you are too young. It took me more than ten years to understand some truths. It took me more than ten years to fully understand them. But you are only twelve years old. Once you have power, If you are in charge of your words and deeds without regard to the consequences, and only pursue a short-term gain, if the Ming Dynasty is a huge country, and these thousands of miles of country and billions of people are left to you to take charge, can I rest assured?"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.
The hearts of the three academicians in the cabinet sank, and they looked at each other in confusion. The meaning of Zhu Houzhao's words was not quite right. The Liaodong frontier army captured the capital last night, killing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and finally regained the throne. The meaning behind these words is that he clearly wants Zhu Houcong to continue to be the emperor. How is this possible!
"Your Majesty! What does your Majesty mean" Yang Tinghe asked, suppressing the horror in his heart.
Zhu Houzhao smiled: "I don't mean anything. Now all the ministers will follow me into the palace and go to Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. After a fierce battle all night, I shocked the Empress Dowager Luanjia. It is my fault."
The ministers hurriedly said yes, arranged their clothes, lined up and walked towards the inner palace.
The war has subsided. The broken porcelain, broken tables and chairs, and the calligraphy and paintings swept away by the eunuchs and eunuchs when they fled in fear have all been restored to their original state. Zhu Houzhao sat in the Nuan Pavilion, slowly looking around at all the familiar furnishings, his eyes filled with circles. There were a few tears, and his expression was filled with a touch of sadness.
Qin Kan knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao without saying a word. The atmosphere in the palace was extremely oppressive. The monarch and his subjects had known each other for more than ten years, and the relationship between them had never been so cold as at this moment.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Qin Kan with complicated eyes, including resentment and intolerance, but more of a strange and indifferent look.
The monarch and his ministers have known each other for more than ten years, from the ignorant Prince of the East Palace to the current Emperor Zhengde who has become calm after experiencing the hardships of the world, from the scholar and guard Qianhu to now holding a power no less than that of the emperor. But the powerful minister who can change everything with one hand
Over the years, in fact, everyone has changed, and it has become very slow. People who live together day and night have never noticed each other. When they gradually drifted apart, when they looked back, they realized that the direction they were walking in was no longer side by side, but in the opposite direction.
When you are far away, you suddenly realize that the other person is no longer the same as before, and you can no longer find the familiarity between your face and eyes. Even if you want to put down your dignity and principles and walk past, after all, you are too far away, and it is so far away to catch up. and.
A thing called a "crack" quietly emerged between the two of them. The crack grew bigger and bigger and could not be filled.
The most heartfeltof? "
"Yes" Qin Kan nodded, and then said with infinite bleakness: "But although they stopped nagging about vixens and other topics, they started nagging again why the women they met along the way were ugly, earthy, and fat. They talked about it every day. Say more than two thousand sentences"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a long time, then suddenly looked up to the sky and burst into laughter: "Wahahahaha"
Qin Kan rubbed his nose and murmured: "He is already the father of the child, why has his smile not improved over the years?"
Zhu Houzhao held his belly and laughed for a long time and finally stopped, his expression became serious and he said: "How is the capital this year?"
Qin Kan knew what he wanted to ask and said with a smile: "Everything is going well. Last winter, the cabinet took the initiative to initiate a court meeting and increased the number of bachelors from the original eight to ten. After the Tatars were annihilated, the court built ten cities on the Tatar grasslands and pastures. , connected with the ten Seoul cities under Duoyan's subordinates, five new capital command divisions were established, and a total of 23 guard posts were stationed. The troubles in the north of the Ming Dynasty were completely calmed down, and the nine border towns began to be dismantled and moved northward to the Siberian snowfields. "
Zhu Houzhao sighed in despair, then took out two small jars of wine from the house and placed them on the table. He said with a smile: "How can we not celebrate our achievements in opening up a new territory without good wine?"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao picked up the jar of wine. When he was about to drink, he suddenly paused, stared at Qin Kan and said, "Last year when I was drinking, you used the first jar of wine to toast the birth of your sixth son. The year before last, you had just learned how to toast the fifth son." He bit the guard dog while walking. This is a misfortune for the family. In the future, a devil will be born out of nowhere. What do you pay tribute to this year?"
Qin Kan picked up the wine jar, looked deeply at Zhu Houzhao, and suddenly smiled: "This year, let's respect our fate."
"fate?"
"Thirty years ago, a kid who was dressed in expensive gambling clothes but was ridiculously bad gambled with me for an entire afternoon on Landlords. He lost so much that he became so angry that he threw away his cards, revealed his identity, and ordered me not to win again. His gambling was bad. A guy who has reached such a state, I can still sit and drink with him thirty years later. Do you think I am awesome? Do you think I should respect this damn fate?"
Zhu Houzhao's face turned red with anger, he stared at Qin Kan for a long time, and then laughed loudly: "Yes, we should really respect this damn fate. I hope our fate will never end. Wait until the next thirty years, and we will respect each other again." This damn fate."
The two looked at each other and laughed, and took a sip of wine together. Qin Kan put down the wine jar and said mysteriously: "If we can live another thirty years and still be able to drink, I will definitely make you do something for the rest of my life. The things I have done are crazy and I don¡¯t regret"
Zhu Houzhao suddenly showed an expression of infinite longing, and blurted out without thinking: "Let's go to the brothel together and play with ten girls at night, and we will die because of flowers and willows."
"Well, forgive me for not wanting to accompany you. I just want to compete with you to see who can pee farther"
