Chapter 1867 : A Generation of Heroes
The emperor was in a deep palace, and was weak in power, and had the closest relationship with the officials. As the book of the Later Han Dynasty, the biographies of the huan eunuchs, the biography of the eunuchs, the people who lived there were only eunuchs and eunuchs." Since the emperor was young, everything was taken care of by eunuchs. The eunuchs took care of the emperor's daily life and were familiar with the emperor's temperament and habits, and were the only confidant around the emperor. When the emperor grew up and wanted to regain his own rights, he would inevitably have to fight with the foreign relatives who tried to continue to be authoritarian. The eunuchs became ally of the emperor. So with the help of the eunuchs, the emperor regained the power of the court. But in this way, when the eunuchs helped the emperor seize the power of the court, they would inevitably make great contributions. These eunuchs had no wives, children and parents.
"He then enjoyed the title of land and became the throne of ministers." As a result, the power of the court fell into the hands of these meritorious eunuchs.
After talking for a long time, Princess Lin'an paused slightly and continued: "However, when the emperor died and the new king succeeded to the throne, the eunuchs could not assist because of their low status. Therefore, new relatives of foreign power came to power. In this way, the new struggle for power seizure began to take place. After this cycle, the court could still be peaceful and the people could have a good life. In order to prevent the tyranny of the relatives of the foreign, the father formulated a law that "the princesses all the common people and the beautiful ones should respect them, and the children of civil and military ministers should not be allowed to intervene." It stipulates that the son-in-law must be selected from the families of civil and low-level officials, and the families whose children were selected could not become officials again. Even those who were already officials had to retire and go home. The son-in-law only received salary for his life and could not be an official. Due to the lack of checks and balances between relatives, the power of the court was always in the hands of the emperor. Doing so with the country and the people is actually very beneficial!"
"Well said it well, you can see through it. I am worthy of being my daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang?" The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard a voice from the southeast corner. They turned their heads and looked, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang wearing a dragon robe and walking under the support of a group of palace maids.
In Lin'an, Ning Guo hurriedly blessed and said, "My son is paying homage to my father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely fond of his children and waved his hand and said, "It's all his family. If you can avoid these red tape, do you?"
The two of them thanked each other, but they were not polite. Princess Ningguo was a little bolder than Lin'an. At this moment, she pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and said coquettishly: "How can my father have the leisure to come out to see us today?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, reached out and pinched Princess Ningguo's pink face, and said with a smile: "Why, I blame my father for not seeing you for so long?"
Princess Ningguo shook her head and said, "My mother said, "The father cherishes us very much and misses us very much. It is because of the busy state affairs that I have no time to see us. My son is also a person who understands the truth. Knowing that my father becomes the emperor, he is no longer the father of my son, or the king of the people of the world. He cannot focus on national affairs. If the father works so hard, how can my son blame his father?"
"It is rare that Ning'er understands his father's intentions, and his father is very pleased!" Zhu Yuanzhang stuck to his long beard and looked kind.
"Father, have your state affairs been handled?" Princess Ningguo snuggled in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and asked every question.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There are so many state affairs. As long as you want to do it, how can you finish it? Today I come here. In addition to seeing you, there is another state affairs that I have to deal with?" He said that, and glanced at Lin'an.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Princess Ningguo was interested. He grew up here. This was the first time he saw Zhu Yuanzhang bringing state affairs into the harem to deal with. He couldn't help but be curious?" A pair of white wrists snuggled in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and asked with a small face raised.
Lin'an, who was standing beside him, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang curiously, walked over, snuggled up to Zhu Yuanzhang's other side, and echoed: "Yes, what kind of state is the father's affairs? Let the father bring him here?"
Go there and sit down and talk. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the front. There was a plum garden in front of him. The plum blossoms in the courtyard were winding with the paths of the flowers, and the lake stones were exquisite. The ancient pavilions and towers were dotted in the sea of fragrance, graceful and colorful. Although it was not the season for the plum blossoms to bloom, there was also a faint fragrance. There was a water tower in the courtyard, with a fountain pool under the tower. Large turtles were stacked in the oval pond. A pond was built at a high place to store water. Using the height difference, sprayed water from the turtle mouth and raised goldfish. It was quite quiet to take a nap here.
Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo said softly, and then snuggled in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and walked towards the plum courtyard.
There are white and clean jade butterfly plums in the courtyard, green butterfly plums with flowers like jade calyx like jade, palace pink plums with light makeup, cinnabar plums with rouge drops, ink plums with thick and bright ink plums, and dragon and plums with branches curled like dragons. There are also elegant shapes, twisted branches hanging upside down, old trunks of dead trees, and a beautiful picture reflected in the eyes of the three of them. Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath, as if he was going to suck all the freshness here into his nose. After a while, he turned his head and reached out to touch Princess Lin'an's face, and said, "Lin'an, you are thirteen years old this year, you are a big girl. Your father is planning to marry Li Qi as soon as possible. Do you think it's good?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a slow tone, but there was an unquestionable order.
Lin'an was stunned and said, "Father, my daughter is still young, but my daughter still wants to accompany my father?"
"Yes, father, my sister is just over thirteen years old this year. Why do you have to marry her so early?" Ning Guo, who was standing beside her, also echoed.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and shouted, "What do you know?"
Ningguo and Lin'an were shocked, and Lin'an's eyes turned red and they were about to cry.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin'an, reached out and patted her gently, and said, "Linan, your eldest daughter, I favor you very much. Don't I want you to spend more time with me in the palace? Of course I have thought about it, but now I can't help myself?"
"Father--?" Lin'an's tears were turned, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "At that time, after Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty, he did not massacre or suppress the founding heroes. Instead, he treated them very well. Most of the heroes could save their lives, treatment and status. It became a good story. The founding emperors of all dynasties, including Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, were used as a model for imitation, but the world did not discover that Emperor Guangwu saved the lives of ministers, but also laid the root of disaster for his own country!"
Princess Lin'an and Ning Guo saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little terrible, and they were afraid, but they didn't dare not stop talking, but just listened silently.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "As the founding king of the country, Emperor Guangwu brought those ministers by himself, and knew the roots and bottom lines. Moreover, Emperor Guangwu was a great talent and a great lord, so he could naturally control ministers. In the end, Emperor Guangwu did not seize power in the dynasty of Emperor Guangwu, but after Emperor Guangwu's death, his descendants did not have the courage. So in order to win over the ministers, they used royal marriages to consolidate their relationship with ministers. So after Emperor Guangwu, his descendants married those ministers. Over time, the marriage of the Eastern Han Dynasty emphasized equality and became a solid concept.
