After the emperor died that night, Xiaozong used his last decree to temporarily obtain a balance of power between the court and the vassal for the immature prince, so that they did not dare to take the opportunity to make trouble; Ascension to the throne, occupying the righteous name, made the ambitious people dare not act without authorization, and became a bird in the first place; in the end, the appointment of the cabinet chief assistant, and the restraint of the world's soldiers and horses, instantly attracted the attention of courtiers and vassal kings. All the hatred and hostility were concentrated on this non-monk and non-vulgar boy, so that Zhu Houzhao could temporarily fade out of the sight of all ambitious people, from light to darkness, waiting for an opportunity to lie dormant.

Just when other people were using their energy to overthrow the ignorant body as the old emperor designed, King Ning still continued to teach and carefully enlighten Zhu Houzhao, who had become the emperor, and further won Zhu Houzhao's trust. One step erodes the military power under the unknown name.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." The prince who was appointed as the head of the Qianqing Palace bowed and said.

"Wang Weng, you are the most caring old man by my father's side. You have been by my father's side since he was a little prince, accompanied my father through the storms, and are loyal to my father and Daming. Although I am enthroned as emperor now, I I know that my throne is not stable, and I will follow in the footsteps of Emperor Jianwen at any time, trembling every day, like walking on thin ice! Now, there are so many eyeliners in this palace, and the only one I can trust is you, what do you have to say? You can speak straight." Standing in the pavilion in the center of the Taiye Lake with apricot-yellow silk curtains fluttering around, Zhu Houzhao was dressed in filial piety uniforms carved with dragons and dark patterns, watching King Ning's tall and straight back gradually disappearing on the zigzag waterside pavilion full of blooming lotuses, he was deeply moved. The sound echoed the old servant who was standing behind him.

Director Wang saw all this in his eyes, thinking about the scene where the new emperor had a happy conversation with King Ning not long ago, and the monarch and his ministers got along well, and he was deeply worried.Although, King Ning is very humble and wise, and he understands righteousness in dealing with people. He is willing to wipe out the northern captives for the young emperor, but he is not greedy to monopolize military power. Too much power.The teaching of these principles must not be afraid to confide in the heart, both public and private, which shows that King Ning is willing to be the Duke of Zhou who wholeheartedly assists King Zhou Cheng, and to be a loyal and sage who can be an example.But Director Wang didn't dispel his guard against King Ning, on the contrary, he became more and more afraid!He always remembers his old master, Xiaozong's evaluation of King Ning, with a dignified appearance and ulterior motives!

"Your Majesty, you just said that you will hand over the power of the world's soldiers and horses to King Ning. I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"Let's not talk about it, the first emperor has only been on the throne for a short time. It is written in the edict that he gave the military power to the ignorant Taifu. As a son, the emperor should not change his father's will for three years. Now, the emperor has only been on the throne for more than a month, and he will change the first emperor. I'm afraid it's not suitable for the appointment! And then..."

"Anything else?"

Zhu Houzhao listened to Manager Wang's words, not only did not get angry at his doubts, but a smile appeared on his increasingly serious face, and he signaled to the manager who had gone through three dynasties to continue talking with encouragement in his eyes.

Manager Wang saw that Zhu Houzhao was not very disgusted with this topic, so he continued to speak boldly.

"Besides, the emperor knows. When the late emperor was there, he was very jealous of the princes, especially King Ning. When the old slave was by the late emperor's side, he heard more than once that the late emperor said that King Ning was rebellious and his disobedience was obvious. I don’t want to mention whether King Ning really has objections. The emperor knew that the late emperor and the imperial court treated Ning Fan and King Ning harshly. Do you really believe that after giving King Ning the power to command the world’s soldiers and horses, he really will not treat the late emperor because of his harshness? And the imperial court has a grudge against him for his injustice, so is this going to strike you back?"

At the end of Mr. Wang's speech, he was already emotionally charged, and knelt down on the ground. His old and cloudy eyes reflected the gloomy and silent expression of the new emperor, and he tried his best to persuade him, hoping that the emperor would stay away from King Ning. Eliminate the disrespectful thieves together!

"Wang Weng is indeed loyal to the country. If this is the case, I am afraid that only you who are so dedicated to the sake of me and Daming will tell me." After a long time, a hoarse bass voice rang in the ear of the old eunuch. , a pair of strong and strong hands supported him, "Since this is the case, let me tell Wang Weng what's on my mind!"

Zhu Hou looked at the duckweed in the water not far away, and said with emotion: "Now I am in a situation like duckweed. I can't control myself, I can only follow the trend. The best choice is to take advantage of the east wind and follow the trend. If If you are lucky, you will be able to meet good soil, so that it will take root and sprout, and grow into a towering tree. So Wang Weng, how many choices do you think I have now, who looks like catkins? I am afraid that even if I am lucky enough not to end up as Emperor Jianwen, it is nothing more than It is the fate of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty!" Director Wang shouted distressedly.

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand to stop Director Wang from speaking, and shook his head with a smile: "The current situation is just because of the imperial father's will, and they still don't understand the situation, so they are restraining each other. But you and I both know the current situation It's just the moon in the mirror, and it won't be long, or once the father's hundred-day national mourning is over, those people will come to their senses, and the capital will be turbulent again and even blood will flow like a river!"

Director Wang sighed helplessly, gratified and desperate, gratified that the prince had finally matured and grown up, and becoming more and more dignified; despaired that he had no real power but had ambitions, and could only be slaughtered by others!Emperor Xian, you went too early!

Zhu Hou looked at the heartbroken expression of the boss, and naturally understood what he was thinking.But he just turned around and left, leaning on the railing, his father is gone, apart from growing stronger, no one in the world can shelter me from the wind and rain!At the back, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, suppressed the sudden sourness in his heart, and continued in a slightly trembling voice: "I don't understand the teacher, but I trust him, but no matter how smart he is, he can only clear the court for me." Those important ministers and eunuchs who have their own ghosts in their hearts, those vassal kings with bloody dragon blood will not buy him. Therefore, I need another person with status, prestige, and trust by me to clear away the vassal kings for me obstacles."

"King Ning himself is a vassal king, and he is one of the great vassal kings. How could he help the emperor deal with his own circle of influence? Not to mention, his loyalty to the emperor is yet to be discussed!" Director Wang eagerly retorted road.

"King Ning has always been famous for his benevolence and righteousness. Everyone in the world knows the harm of the vassal king's separatism. With his chivalrous pleading for the people, he will naturally be obliged to clean up the powerful vassals who have evil intentions and cholera. As for him Loyalty, at least he once sacrificed his life to save me, so far he has been thinking of me and the court wholeheartedly, why not take a gamble. If I win, I will be the emperor who is truly ordered by heaven; if I lose...lose, it is just the current What's the difference in the situation? What's more, Wang Weng, as I said before, what choice do I have? Besides King Ning, who has the ability to subdue King Zheng and others for me?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's helpless sigh, Manager Wang opened his mouth to argue, but found that the emperor's judgment of the current situation was very accurate, and his analysis of the respective abilities of Don't Know and King Ning was very reasonable.I can only comfort myself, at least after listening to the emperor's words, he doesn't just trust King Ning blindly after all, that's enough!

What Manager Wang didn't know was that Zhu Houzhao had deeper thoughts in his heart.

First of all, I don’t know that I’m already the chief assistant of the cabinet. Judging from the situation this month, the other six chief officials will soon be integrated and subdued by him. Peace of mind.Even though he has no disobedience, how can he allow others to sleep soundly in the couch?The story of the addition of the yellow robe is also vivid. For the sake of their monarchs and ministers, he must also take action and plan ahead; secondly, King Ning was born at odds with the ignorant, and there was a bright knot, and he gave the military power that originally belonged to the ignorant. King Ning, will cause hostility with King Ning who does not understand, and this will show the majesty of his ruling power as the emperor; most importantly, if King Ning really has the heart of disobedience, then he will definitely help him now. He sat firmly on the throne and combined his power as the emperor to eliminate those feudal lords, and finally turned his guns against himself.In this way, at least when King Ning is fighting with King Zheng, Bubu and others, he can take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen himself and have the power to fight, which is better than waiting to be caught now!

The rippling lake surface in the breeze spreads out, sending cool water vapor. The lotus flowers in the pond are swaying with the wind, and flowers of various colors are dotted among the layers of blue leaves and waves. Zhu Houzhao's thoughts are like the river waves under the bustling green leaves. Innocent, bright, and pitiful, but in fact, it is like a strange and unpredictable undercurrent, like swallowing a vast and lonely boat, giving a fatal blow to those who despise themselves!

On the Taiye Pool, all the people were silent, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered that night in Meilong Town, he and Ning Wang stood by the water, opened their hearts, and felt a movement in their hearts.Uncle Emperor, I sincerely hope that you and my uncle and nephew can have a tacit understanding and achieve a good story of a monarch and his ministers!If you don't let me down, I will never let you down!Uncle, don't let me down...

The author has something to say:

Zhu Houzhao feels that I wrote it very darkly...
