Chapter 706: Throwing the Pot in Advance

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 On the throne, Zhu Qiyu looked at the sincere Yu Qian below and couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that a gentleman can deceive others, and Yu Qian is naturally a gentleman. Because of this, in many court affairs, he often only looks at principles and does not look at the pros and cons for himself.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that it is beneficial to the country and the country, but the disadvantage is that sometimes it is indeed a bit annoying!

However, this does not mean that Yu Qian is not smart. On the contrary, for him to be in this position, he is not inferior to anyone in terms of his grasp of people's situations and his intelligence.

Because of this, he is even more admirable.

Such people are indeed the pillars of the country and the treasures of the country, but they can never be relied upon as true confidants.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that although Yu Qian's achievements in this life are not as great as those in the previous life, he contradicted him much more times than in the previous life.

This is what makes Zhu Qiyu feel most helpless. He knows very well why this situation has occurred. It is not that Yu Qian has changed, but that he has changed.

In his previous life, he certainly worked hard to govern, but when the clan succeeded to the throne, there was always some willfulness and indulgence. Although he was not as foolhardy as Emperor Xuanzong, nor as noisy as Zhu Qizhen, there were still absurd and willful things.

Speaking in a small way, he once threw money on the ground at a sutra banquet and ordered ministers to pick it up, thinking it was a "reward". In a big way, he insisted on going his own way and became the emperor in a hurry. This is all clear evidence.

Therefore, at that time, in many cases, Yu Qian would not be as outspoken and contradictory to him as he is now. Instead, he would be nice and persuasive.

Of course, this is a nice way of saying it, but a bad way of saying it is just to coax and deceive him to lead him to the right path, at least to stop him from messing around in many key national affairs.

On the contrary, in this life, Zhu Qiyu has experienced a hundred years of hardships, and has a better understanding of the responsibilities and ethics that an emperor should have. He can truly govern a big country like cooking small dishes, and treat every government affairs with humility and prudence at all times.

In this way, Yu Qian revealed his true nature even more.

He is not afraid of being punished, nor does he want rewards. What he cares about is the justice of his family and country, the stability of the country, the peace of the country and the people, and the clear seas and rivers.

And these, after more than a year of running-in, Yu Qian has actually determined that they are things that Zhu Qiyu will not take risks and willfully.

A gentleman can be deceived...

Zhu Qiyu finally understood now how Yu Qian felt every time he used the overall situation of the court to discuss terms with him.

However, it's a sigh of relief. Even if Zhu Qiyu understands this, he can't change it back. After all, he is not the one who didn't know anything in his previous life and ascended to the throne through luck.

Now that he has returned to the throne, he has more burdens on his shoulders, more to rely on, and more things to do. Naturally, he is less and less able to do as he pleases.

So far, four or five ministers have expressed their attitude on this matter. Except for Wang Wen, everyone else basically agrees.

Although the remaining people did not speak, their reluctance to stand up and express their opinions was actually an attitude.

After taking a quick glance, Zhu Qiyu sighed and said.

"As you all have said, I naturally understand that the imperial court has decided to leave the East Palace, and I have no intention of delaying it."

"Of course, the imperial court is indeed busy during this period. However, even though the Ministry of Rites is busy, I also believe that Uncle Da Zong, who has been familiar with government affairs for many years, will be able to manage it properly. The reason why the East Palace has not set a date for leaving the cabinet is actually because of

It’s all about my selfishness.”

As soon as these words came out, the ears of the ministers immediately pricked up. They were used to strategizing on the emperor's side, and it was rare for them to sincerely "admit their mistakes" like this.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about their appearance. He glanced at Wang Wen who was hesitant to speak and continued.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to think that Tianguan doesn't understand the general situation. What he just said was actually mentioned in my private discussion with Tianguan."

Of course, this successfully aroused everyone's curiosity. At the same time, these old men once again felt envious of Mr. Wang.

You know, Wang Wen's actions today are actually a little out of line. After all, the court meeting had already decided on the prince's resignation, which is why no one present said explicitly that he would shelve it.

But what the emperor said was equivalent to describing Wang Wen's behavior as being carried out in accordance with the decree. In this way, it was equivalent to blocking himself in front of the court meeting and blocking Wang Wen behind him.

You must know that even if what the emperor said is true, it is what a minister should do to share the blame for the emperor. Not to mention that if what the emperor said is false, it is even more that the emperor is deliberately protecting Wang Wen and letting him.

He is immune to criticism.

Therefore, whether it is true or false, this sentence alone represents the emperor's unusual preference for Wang Wen.

However, what slightly disappointed the elders was that Wang Tianguan, who was usually moody and angry, was now so calm that he did not make the slightest disturbance, which made the elders who wanted to see whether the emperor's words were true or false from his expressions a little confused.

disappointment.

Cursing the old fox secretly, everyone looked away, because at this moment, the voice of the emperor sounded again.

But this time, the emperor was obviously much more serious, said.

"It seems that this matter has something to do with the harem. You may not know it, but in the early days, I was busy with government affairs, and my eldest son saw that Ji was idle and bored, so he wanted to study and become literate."

"His mother-in-law, Mrs. Hang, was soft-hearted and couldn't defeat him, so she found some eunuchs who had studied in the study room and taught him how to recite two poems."

"result……"

The elders below blinked, not knowing why the emperor suddenly mentioned the harem at this time. Some of them reacted quickly. Thinking of Wang Wen's words just now, they seemed to have realized something, and their brows suddenly furrowed.

As expected, the emperor's face darkened slightly and he spoke.

"Not two days later, the palace officials came to report that Brother Ji was seriously ill. After I asked the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor said that it was caused by excessive thinking and mental exhaustion."

"During that illness, Brother Ji had a high fever for two whole days. Since then, I have strictly ordered the princes and princesses in the harem not to be enlightened prematurely."

"Now, although the prince is not my biological son, he is still a direct descendant of Emperor Xuanzong. He is my nephew and the crown prince. He is connected to the foundation of the country, so naturally he cannot be careless."

"Although Brother Shen is half a year older than Brother Ji, he has just turned four years old. Taking advantage of Brother Ji's experience, I am deeply afraid that the old thing will happen again, so I have been worried about it for a long time. I have not ordered the Ministry of Rites to perform the ceremony of leaving the cabinet immediately.

"

After saying this, the emperor sighed again and said with a bit of helplessness.

"This matter is too trivial to be mentioned. I know that the private relationship between children is not as good as laying a foundation for the foundation of the country. However, although there is the will of the Holy Mother and the ministers below to invite you, I still can't bear it. This selfish intention

, This is my fault, but I still ask you to understand it!"

These words were so sincere that all the ministers present were a little confused as to how to react.
