He came to see Zhang Yanling today just to express his generosity and symbolic apology to Zhang Yanling for what happened before. He felt that Zhang Yanling would definitely reconcile with him. Zhang Yanling was just trying to save face, the problem was not
Very big.
But now, Zhu Houzhao realized that things were not as imagined, and the situation was extremely serious. It seemed that Zhang Yanling was extremely dissatisfied and was already a little discouraged. She wanted to give up her job and ignore the affairs from now on.
Tonight's conversation touched the soul and was no longer an ordinary exchange. There was no politeness in Zhang Yanling's words. From the moment he stepped into the study door, he was forthright and did not shy away from sensitive topics that could not be touched upon at all.
His attitude was also very clear. Regarding his complaints, he did not comfort and encourage himself as before, nor did he say soothing words. Instead, he spoke back abruptly, leaving himself speechless.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was born to be the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. He really cannot say that his fate is unfair. If he says it is unfair, then everyone in the world will think it is unfair.

I really didn't put my mind on government affairs. One thing after another made me anxious. My ambitions were also being worn away. All I could think about all day long was how not to take the blame and not let others blame me.
It's hard for me now to listen to the words that criticize myself. My mentality is completely out of balance.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he shirk his responsibilities and think about scheming with his ministers? Where did his ambition go? His ambition to revive the Ming Dynasty has disappeared in the chaos of these eight years. And he himself
He should have been working hard and doing great things.
When did things get so bad?
Now, even Zhang Yanling, who has fully supported me from the beginning to the end and put out fires everywhere for me, and whom I rely on, feels discouraged and has the intention of quitting. So who else can I rely on in the future? Who can I rely on if trouble occurs again?
who?
Thinking about his uncle, he has been trying to make peace for himself since he ascended the throne. Whether it is the dangerous situation caused by his own willfulness, the chaos caused by Liu Jin's misbehavior, or the vassal kings taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
He solved it without any complaints.
Some people say that my uncle did it for merit, for official status and rewards. I thought so at one time. However, my uncle proposed the policy of lifting the sea ban, and personally spent all his money to build a fleet to go to sea and fight against the Folangji people.
In a year and a half, he abandoned his wife and children and left the country thousands of miles away. Is this also for status and rewards?
He is already the Duke of the country and has a fortune of tens of millions. His contribution is already great enough, and he can rest on his merit book and enjoy the blessings. Why does he do this? Who is willing to take such a big risk for the sake of limelight and merit?
Go to Nanyang, thousands of miles away, to compete with the Folangji people for sea trade routes? Looking at the Ming Dynasty, no one would be willing.
He obviously did not do this for official status and rewards. He did this because he really hoped that Ming Dynasty could get rid of its current predicament. He did it for Ming Dynasty, for the Zhu family's country, and for himself.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt extremely guilty and ashamed of Zhang Yanling's contribution. He was actually unhappy because he forced him to punish Jiang Bin in Jiujiang Mansion. He actually felt that Zhang Yanling was indeed a little arrogant and did not take himself seriously. This
It's just too stupid.
If Zhang Yanling is really discouraged and ignores everything, he will really become a loner. Looking around, who else can help him solve difficult problems?

Jiang Bin? Isn’t that a joke? The purpose of giving him power is to better serve as his eyes and ears to get information for him, and to bite others at critical moments. He is just a dog he raises.
A dog can only do dog things, but he cannot do really big things. Only people like Zhang Yanling can accomplish things in the world.
The other members of the honorable group are equally unreliable. Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo is already old, and his son Xu Yande is unable to bear the heavy responsibility. Although the British Duke Zhang Lun is young, he has no outstanding achievements and is unwilling to take responsibility when encountering difficulties. Other honorable members are even more unreliable.
But don't count on it. The Xunqi Family was actually no longer a backbone force in the Ming Dynasty. What they cared about most was their own interests.
Let alone the outer court. Even if some of them are very capable, I have never trusted the civil servants of the outer court. They look down on themselves. They can only point fingers and banish here and there. It is impossible to rely on them.
.
Zhang Yanling is the only person who he can completely trust, who has the ability to help him defend his country, and who sincerely wants to help him revive the Ming Dynasty. He must win back his heart and must make a gesture.
"Uncle, the only person I can rely on is you. If you turn away and ignore me, what will I do? Uncle, please don't be angry because of my temporary willfulness. I also know that I was wrong. I swear to God, from now on,
I must change my mentality.
I wholeheartedly think about the revival of the Ming Dynasty and will never do anything willful again. If my uncle cannot calm down and cannot tolerate Jiang Bin, I will deal with Jiang Bin immediately." Zhu Houzhao came to Zhang Yanling and pulled Zhang Yanling's sleeves.
begged.
Zhang Yanling looked at Zhu Houzhao and said solemnly: "Do you still think that I am angry because of Jiang Bin?"
Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly: "I understand, I understand. From now on, I will fully support my uncle's sea trade plan. I believe that my uncle will definitely think about the Ming Dynasty, and my uncle's plan will definitely bring the Ming Dynasty into prosperity."
World. I will go to court tomorrow and make my uncle the governor of the navy of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the director of maritime trade and shipping. From now on, I will agree to everything my uncle proposes. I just hope that he will not be angry. I really know that I am wrong.
.”
Zhang Yanling sighed, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am definitely not forcing you to do that. I don't want to do that at all. However, the Ming Dynasty cannot continue like this. If we don't seize the time, the national power will gradually decline, and the future chaos will be
It’s out of control. While the Ming Dynasty still has some foundation, we must
It is necessary to cure the disease and eliminate the suffering. When the disease is terminal, there is no way to save it. This is my sincere words. If the people's livelihood is not improved, the people will have no way to survive, and rebellions will come one after another. By then, there will be no hope.
We can't even get the support of the people even if we don't have money and food for the soldiers, and the country is in danger."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "I know, I know, I am really ashamed. My uncle is doing it for my own good."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "The emperor is actually a very smart person. I have always been optimistic that the emperor can turn things around. As long as the emperor is determined and I will give my full assistance, the goal will be achieved. As long as the emperor can let the people of the world have enough food and warm clothes,
That is the best reputation. As long as the national treasury is full, there are soldiers, money and food, there will be no
Fear of any situation. The emperor's reputation will naturally increase, and everyone in the court will naturally admire and respect the emperor. All this is natural. Don't worry about the opinions and eyes of those in the court. The most they can say is to talk.
That's all, what can they do? The more the emperor cares about it, the more energetic they will be."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Thank you uncle for your teaching. I really understand."
Zhang Yanling said: "The emperor has this attitude, and I am very happy. Naturally, I will not be a disloyal minister. I also expressed my attitude that as long as the emperor sincerely thinks about the Ming Dynasty, I will fully support the emperor. Anyone who wants to do anything to
If it is not in your favor, Your Majesty, you have to ask me, Zhang Yanling, if I will agree."
Zhu Houzhao was excited and said repeatedly: "With these words from my uncle, I can sleep peacefully tonight."
Zhang Yanling nodded slightly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest early. I will escort you out of the mansion."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and was about to start. Suddenly he turned around, looked at Zhang Yanling and said, "Uncle, I want to ask you, how do you view me in your heart?"
Zhang Yanling was stunned and asked: "Why does the emperor ask this?"
Zhu Houzhao said softly: "It's nothing... I just asked casually."
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and turned to walk out. Zhang Yanling looked at his back and suddenly understood. Zhu Houzhao had been carrying a burden in his heart for more than 20 years. He was not recognized when he was a boy. His father was taciturn and he was busy every day and had no time.
I went to communicate with him. He was very serious and would ask about his studies within three words of meeting him. The same was true for Empress Zhang. Although she had a cheerful personality, she was very distant from Zhu Houzhao.
Perhaps all his body and mind were focused on Zhu Youtang and he neglected to care for Zhu Houzhao.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao actually did not receive much care and recognition from his parents. Because of this, he had special feelings for Liu Jin and others who accompanied him when he grew up and were obedient to him.
After he ascended the throne, Zhu Houzhao was not recognized by the ministers. Liu Jian and others always taught him a lesson in a condescending manner, which made Zhu Houzhao not feel the feeling of being recognized. I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao will only be recognized by the jesters around him.
, and that kind of recognition is extremely exaggerated praise.
In this extremely twisted situation, Zhu Houzhao developed an extremely arrogant, yet inferior and rebellious character.
Later, Liu Jin, whom he trusted, turned out to be the murderer of the late emperor, and there were too many troubles in the court. All of this may have distorted Zhu Houzhao's psychology. He was such a smart person, but he acted absurdly.
, doing many shocking things. This may be caused by the indulgence and rebellion caused by long-term psychological depression and lack of recognition.
Although he is only a few years older than him, he is still his elder. The so-called mother, aunt, and uncle are three points of contact when they meet their uncle. Perhaps in his mind, it is important to get his own approval. Tonight, his words are very serious,
There may have been huge waves in his heart.
From an elder's perspective, he is just a child who wants to be recognized. In fact, he just wants to be recognized.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please stay. I have something to say."
Zhu Houzhao had already reached the corridor, turned around and said, "What does uncle want to say?"
Zhang Yanling stepped forward, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be too mentally burdened. In my opinion, your Majesty is extremely intelligent and will be a wise monarch in the future. He will definitely do great things. Including you.
, people all over the world are waiting for this day."
Zhu Houzhao looked confused and said, "Is uncle telling the truth?"

Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "How dare I lie? Needless to say, I also know the thoughts of the people in the world. If I tell the emperor something, the emperor will understand."
Zhang Yanling then quickly recounted the incident of visiting Feng Sihai's home that day to offer condolences, and finally said: "Feng Sihai's mother is just an ordinary old woman. After her son was killed in battle, when she saw me, she didn't burst into tears or grieve.
Weeping, but asked her son if he was brave on the battlefield. I gave her an extra pension and she
They refused to accept the offer and only asked that Feng Sihai’s son follow in his father’s footsteps and join the army to serve the country. This shows that the people of the Ming Dynasty are loyal to the emperor, patriotic and serve the country. Their confidence in the emperor and the Ming Dynasty has not changed.
What a loss. Therefore, the court cannot let them down or let them down. Does your Majesty say so?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slowly, a smile appeared on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally stooped back straightened up.
"I understand. Thank you uncle for your teaching. I will not let them down. There is no need for uncle to see me off. I have returned to the palace. I will see you tomorrow morning."
After Zhu Houzhao said this, he cupped his hands, turned around and strode into the moonlight.
Move your fingers and cast your precious gold and silver votes. Thank you!
