"Grandpa Emperor, which emperor in history does not do anything when eating, drinking, and drinking all day long?" Zhu Heyuan asked with his grandfather's cuffs pulling his head up.

Chongzhen smiled so much that his eyes turned into crescent moons. He patted his grandson on the head and said, "That's all a fool, who is addicted to alcohol and sex, not a good thing, don't ask if you ask."

"But I just want to be such an emperor." Zhu Heyuan muttered, then jumped up to see if there were any pastries on the imperial desk of the Supreme Emperor. The father said that he was overweight now, so he had a fixed amount of sweets and could no longer eat whatever he wanted.

"You don't have to think about this." Chongzhen smiled and said, "The throne belongs to your elder brother, so you can wait for the country to be a vassal king. But even so, you can't learn from those foolish people, and you will always think about delicious food and drink."

"Oh." Zhu Heyuan felt a little disappointed and said, "Why did the father ask the second brother what kind of emperor he wanted to be?"

"Oh? What did your father ask?" Chongzhen smiled, but there was a hint of trembling in his voice.

Zhu Heyuan said that he was six years old, but it was actually a bit inadequate. As the third brother, he had never enjoyed the treatment of the crown prince Zhu Hegui. His father just took him to play and never really taught anything. Even ordinary families would not care about their children at home, let alone his father had to take care of the entire empire.

So Zhu Heyuan passed on the conversation between his father and his second brother a few days ago to Chongzhen without any scheming - this cannot but show that Zhu Cilang's genetic genes are really strong, and his sons are all very smart, especially his memory is super strong.

Chongzhen just smiled, smiled, and smiled until Zhu Heyuan ran out to find something else to play... and had some food.

As a Supreme Emperor who had no concern for the national affairs and did not even know the title of the Six Tribes, Chongzhen finally felt it was necessary to remind his son.

After Zhu Cixuan greeted her the next day, he was kept by Chongzhen and said that he wanted to take a look at the paintings he made last night.

The father and son entered the study. Chongzhen had no intention of taking out the painting, and let the emperor's son stand, sat on the Grand Master's chair, and said, "What do you think of the temple master?"

Zhu Cixuan was a little surprised and said, "Why did your father come here to ask?"

"When you were a child, didn't you like to read the records of ancestors of all generations? Let's talk about it as a father and son." Chongzhen was now in an attitude of an emperor and his father, and he insisted on pressing on Zhu Cilang.

"The temple master is quite visionary in major events. Unfortunately, he is too stubborn and refuses to compromise." Zhu Cixuan said: "The dispute over the foundation of the country is the turning point of the prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it can be completely improved."

Chongzhen gently stroked his beard and said, "Why do you think there will be a dispute over the foundation of the country?"

Zhu Cilang did not understand the old emperor's meaning and said, "I still don't know the reason for compromise. The Thais said: Politics is the art of compromise, and my son thought it made sense."

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "No, what I asked is why the temple wants to change the prince."

"Because of Concubine Zheng." Zhu Cilang was stunned. He said, "The emperor's grandfather was cautious in his words and actions, and he would not dislike the temple master. Mostly, Concubine Zheng wanted his mother to be noble because of his son and instigated the temple." The dispute over the country was contemporary history for Zhu Cilang. Historical materials and gossip were flying together, and the truth and rumors were the same, but in the final analysis it was caused by a woman who wanted her son to become the emperor.

"You know," Chongzhen's face changed, "Why do you want to depose the prince!"

Zhu Cilang felt unfair. However, his psychological age was much older than Chongzhen and he did not express any emotions. He just adhered to his identity and said, "I don't know where my father heard it, but my son didn't have this idea."

Chongzhen still didn't believe it. Will Zhu Heyuan's innocent child lie?

"The only son of Duan is the Duan family. The five sons are all born by the queen and are all young. How could they change the country's foundation inexplicably?" Zhu Ciyang was quite helpless.

This sentence just blocked Chongzhen's mouth because Chongzhen wanted to use this statement to dispel his son's inappropriate thoughts.

"Where did my father hear it?" Zhu Cixuan turned his back on defense and attacked.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Do you think I am a foolish monarch and can't recognize people, so you can't see what you are thinking? Are you obviously biased towards the second child now and think I don't know?"

"Father, I'm wronged my son." Zhu Cilang shouted.

"Where I went back then, you, King Ding and King Yong followed you." Chongzhen said: "And now, you often come and go to Heqi and Heyuan, but not the crown prince. What is the reason?"

This can indeed be regarded as a political signal.

Zhu Cixuan accepted Chongzhen's statement and did not think about his youngest son. He explained: "The crown prince is now studying in the cabinet and is quite motivated. He doesn't want to disturb him for some entertainment." This is a sincere conscience to others. Zhu Cixuan hated Chongzhen for calling him wherever he went, which affected his progress in writing.

"The fourth and fifth brothers are still young, so it is not convenient to take them out." Zhu Cilang added.

Chongzhen was skeptical and tentatively said: "Actually, I know that my second son is more like you."

"Hmm?" Zhu Cixuan was a little surprised: "Why didn't my son see it?"

"Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise." Chongzhen said: "You have the wisdom to know others, but you don't see yourself clearly. Don't look at He Gui who never put down the book all day long, he will always be called a saint. He is as quick and studious as you were when you were a child, but his temperament is quite weak. Although He Qi is not easy to learn, his shameless and obsessed with his own small world is exactly the same as you."

Zhu Cilang was silent. He knew the character shortcomings of his eldest son, and even had a kind of worry. It was because he paid too much attention to education that led to these character defects, leaving a considerable shadow on the children. It was precisely because the education of the eldest son had something worthy of his reflection that in the education of Heqi and Heyuan, he let go and did not intervene too much.

"So if you like Heqi, you can give him a world, but the country and the country still have to be Hegui." Chongzhen said: "This is the law established by ancestors, and it is established by ancestors to ensure the stability of the world, the harmony of the heavenly family, and the harmony of relatives. Even if you don't care, you shouldn't be able to take the safety of the world. Think about the temple."

Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "Father, my son did want to establish an emperor who was more suitable for the future development of the Ming Dynasty in his early years."

Chongzhen looked "as expected".

"But, my son later held He Gui and gradually gave up this idea." Zhu Cilang felt a little moved.

Zhu Hegui is his eldest son and his first son in his past and present life. He has always believed that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and having a son is also a political need, but he really holds it in his arms every day. Watching him heavier, grow up, and even learn to talk back, the bond between father and son is getting heavier and heavier.

"That's true, you are just hugging Gui all day long." Chongzhen nodded and admitted, pointing to Xiudun beside him: "Sit down."

Zhu Cixuan sat down and said, "People's understanding will definitely change. So although I don't agree with some of the understandings with Gui, my son believes that he will definitely become mature. He is only thirteen or four years old."

——This may not be, you have not changed much.

Chongzhen said in his heart, but he said nothing.

"What I worry about is his values ​​and character." Zhu Ciyang said: "He Gui is a very kind child, soft-hearted and unwilling to see the killing. I heard that the people are unable to eat when they are in trouble."

Isn’t that the same thing about Chongzhen himself? He couldn’t help but sigh.

"The problem is that as an emperor, it is inappropriate to be kind and soft-hearted." Zhu Cilang said: "The father has a carriage and a son has a great defeat in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Most of the time he will be demoted a thousand years later."

Chongzhen felt his ears were hot. If he had been so cruel that he could block the thieves in the carriage and gorge and kill them all, then the country would have restored peace in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and there would have been no later thieves who broke into the carriage and went on to sacrifice. At that time, these two people could only be regarded as small leaders in the carriage and gorge.

Similarly, Zhu Cilang left behind the people and resources of Qin and Jin provinces that year, but did not carry out his own large-scale migration that was sloppy, which further expanded Li Zicheng's strength. The situation in Shandong was like a burden, and the process of restoring the country was delayed for at least three years.

There will definitely be keyboard critics in later generations calling it "women's kindness."

Neither Chongzhen nor Longjing today are as brave as a great leader in later generations to break everything and even dare to create his own rebellion.

"It's better to say that my son is unwilling to be dissatisfied with Kagu." Zhu Cixuan has been thinking about this issue recently and has come up with all his heart.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Go back to the era of Xujun." Zhu Cilang said.

Chongzhen was very surprised: "When did I have ever had Xu Jun in the Ming Dynasty?"

"There is a difference between monarchy and regime." Zhu Cilang was not surprised at all that Chongzhen had no idea. Because in this era, perhaps only some elites knew that the emperor might not be able to control the regime. If there were one of Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng in the court after the thirty years of Wanli, I am afraid that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would really have only monarchy and would not even be able to gain any monarchy.

After explaining the difference between monarchy and regime, Zhu Cilang said: "The father was willing but not strong at that time. Although he could exchange 50 prime ministers for 17 years, it was just monarchy. The regime had actually lost a long time ago - otherwise how could he not even collect the taxes he should collect. Now his son seems to delegate power, value civil servants and generals, and clarify his duties. The essence is to cover the monarchy's power.

"If you go with Gui Dengji in the future, with his soft heart and kindness, it is hard to guarantee that this regime will not be handed over again." Zhu Ciyang sighed: "After truly savoring the sweetness of power, your son will inevitably have selfishness and want to continue this huge power to future generations."

Chongzhen said speechlessly for a long time, "Everyone has this selfish intention, otherwise where would the family come from?"

"Actually, if it doesn't work in the future, just divide the monarchy and the regime clearly, and the emperor will rule it." Zhu Cilang sighed: "The Ming Dynasty is my Zhu family, and it is also the people in the world. In the final analysis, it is theirs."

After thinking for a long time, Chongzhen said: "After the Qin Emperor, dynasties changed, and there was never a dynasty that lasted for five hundred years. Emperor Taizong of Tang said that people were like water, and they could carry boats and overturned boats, but you dare to say that the world belongs to the people of the world."

"I just thought so recently." Zhu Cilang smiled bitterly: "The power is in control, and it is much better than being a puppet. However, the times change, being a puppet is better than being slaughtered. There was a regicide incident in Britain in Taisie. When our country changed, those traitors were also targeting the royal family."

Chongzhen still remembered the tragic change of the country, the royal family was killed, the ancestral tombs were dug, and even the Taimiao was lost...

"Have you ever thought about how no such tragedy will happen again?" Chongzhen asked.

"Follow the heaven and the time." Zhu Cilang said simply: "Even my royal family cannot go against the trend. When the world's resources are in the hands of the landlords, the Tian family must be the largest landlord in the world; when the world's resources are in the hands of the industrial and commercial masters, the Tian family must be the largest industrial and commercial masters in the world. In this way, the Tian family always walks in the front and always has a huge number of followers behind them. This is the foundation of the power of the Tian family."

The Tian family will always represent the needs of the most advanced productivity. Zhu Cilang summarized it in his heart.

Chongzhen nodded, quite convinced of this. Although he could not understand this meaning himself, he could still understand it.

"So even if my family eventually returns power to the people of the world, its influence is still there, and the lives of descendants will not be worrying." Zhu Cixuan said.

Chongzhen was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "After walking around with your mother, I just felt that the world was so cute. I really wanted to hand it over to others, and I was a little unwilling to do so."

"No one is willing to hand over power." Zhu Cixuan said: "But even if power is handed over, there will always be a time to take it back. It is better than holding on to power and being overthrown."

"Aren't you worried that someone would be usurped by the throne after releasing power?" Chongzhen didn't believe that his son would be usurped by the throne, but his merciful grandson couldn't say it.

"Don't worry, because I can't give power to one family." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Whether power or money is like rain. Gathering it in one place is a great disaster, but if you divide it evenly, it will probably only add some moisture to the air."

Chongzhen was completely relieved and said, "You should also talk to He Gui."

Zhu Cilang sighed and said, "Father, my son really knows your worries back then." Chongzhen said to Zhu Cilang: The emperor may not care about the opinions of everyone in the world, nor about the praise and criticism in front of him or her, but he will eventually care about his son's views.

At that time, Zhu Hegui was just a small meat ball, and Zhu Cixuan was not concerned about it.

Now Zhu Cixuan dares not show Zhu Hegui the diary he has painstakingly recorded, and dares not let Zhu Hegui know that his father is actually a villain who has not achieved his goal and has no idea of ​​benevolence, righteousness and integrity. The most painful thing is that Zhu Cixuan is obviously such a villain, but he still has to educate his children: be honest and trustworthy.

The villain's way of dealing with things has the values ​​of a gentleman, just like the parents who spit on the road and spit on the ground in later generations, they still teach their children to see traffic lights, listen to the teacher's words, and be a civilized and polite child.

The greatest pain in life is this kind of self-disobedience.

No wonder I seem to like Heqi more, perhaps because he dares to face the inner slaughter in his heart, but he has no sense of shame.
