Chapter 1794 Father and Son Monarch and Minister
In the temple.
Emperor Hongzhi raised his head, glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then smiled.
He stood up, and Xiao Jing quickly stepped forward to help him.
Afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi coughed, and Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan bowed, their hearts still pounding.
Just at this moment, I couldn't help but worry about it again.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Get up, get up, one of you is the emperor and the other is the regent, why do you need to do any big things when you see me?"
Zhu Houzhao got up, but Fang Jifan pondered in his heart. The word regent was very harsh. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how dare I call him regent, this is really...really..."
Even today, Fang Jifan is still in awe of the emperor.
The emperor walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "You are not joking, is there any reason in the world to change from day to day?"
He paused, and then said: "I have been in the Golden Isle for a long time, so how can I not know what the Golden Isle looks like? This is a good place, and it is my good fortune to be able to spend my life here."
After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, he actually smiled: "Is this arrangement thought up by the emperor?"
As he spoke, he took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt guilty. For many days, the Nine-Five Supreme Master felt that he was already capable and domineering enough, but now facing his father, he still returned to his original appearance.
Usually, Fang Jifan would not mind taking the blame at all, but today...but he knew that he must not stand out in this matter, so he lowered his head silently, counting sheep in his heart.
Zhu Hou took a look at Fang Jifan, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed, then smiled again, and said: "The emperor has grown up, he has gradually matured, and can easily control the world. So... very good..."
As he spoke, he sat down and fiddled with the charcoal with tongs.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether his father's words were a sarcasm or a compliment, but he was taken aback.
Emperor Hongzhi continued: "What is the Son of Heaven?"
Emperor Hongzhi said, emphasizing his tone: "In the eyes of the subjects, the Son of Heaven is their heaven, their father, and the supreme existence.
"These words are meant for the subjects, but the emperor must never believe them. The emperor should believe that he is no different from ordinary people, and that he was able to overcome the greatness only because of the blessings of his ancestors." Because of this, the emperor is not necessarily smarter than ordinary subjects, let alone more powerful than them. The emperor is also a flesh and blood body, with life, old age, sickness and death, and seven emotions and six desires. Only when you understand this... can you recognize Know yourself. Only when you know yourself can you breed awe."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "It is a good thing to be in awe. Respect the ancestors, so that you dare not disgrace yourself. Respect the subjects, so you dare not do anything wrong. When you are in power, you are walking on thin ice, and you are afraid of neglect. The most important thing is...respect the way of heaven... "
"The way of heaven?" Zhu Houzhao was in a daze, looking at his father, full of doubts, he couldn't understand, how could his father say these words to himself as soon as he came.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I am here to see the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, with heavy snow. At a glance, there are thousands of miles of ice and snow. Only now do I know how small people are in front of the heaven. Therefore, we must always be in awe, and don't be arrogant. , don’t think that you can change everything on your own...for the affairs of the world! The inheritance of the ancestors was handed over to the emperor, so as a king, you only need to do two things well.”
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao: "One: unify the world to eliminate war chaos. Today, my Ming Dynasty looks at the world, and I know that the world is so big that it is far beyond imagination! My Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the heavens, the country of the middle earth, and the king. Follow the example of Qin Shihuang and cut off the ministers. The desire of the subjects of the world is nothing more than to live and work in peace and contentment. Eliminating wars is their desire. This...is the way of heaven."
"The second is to set an example for the system in order to achieve long-term peace and stability. It is of course remarkable to win the world, but if the system does not set an example, long-term stability cannot be achieved, and it will only be a flash in the pan."
Emperor Hongzhi continued: "The fundamental desire of the people is the way of heaven. You are the emperor, what you have to do is not to disobey them, follow the sky, satisfy your subjects, and accomplish these two things. Fan is the regent. It can be seen that you are mature and have your own opinions. The emperor knows what the princes and princes of Huangjinzhou look like, and I know it. You and I know it well. The imperial court guards the Golden Continent. Then... let those who can defend it come! So... after I learned of your edict, I was very pleased. The emperor can be far-sighted, make the best use of the situation, follow the trend, and eliminate the hidden dangers of the future Golden Continent in one fell swoop. , This...reassures me a lot."
Hearing this, both Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this pass?
They looked at each other, and Fang Jifan said: "The emperor is wise, and I admire you very much..."
"This time you came to Huangjinzhou...why?" Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand.
Fang Jifan felt relieved, the emperor still understood the righteousness so well, so he immediately said: "The emperor, my minister and your majesty led the navy to help the northern province, wiped out the Spanish and Portuguese fleets in one fell swoop, and relieved the siege of the northern province, so I came by the way. .”
Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback when he heard this.
Immediately, his brows were filled with joy: "The Spaniards are wolves and ambitious. They rely on the advantage of their ships to compete with my Ming Dynasty everywhere. Once their fleet is cut off, then...they will become toothless." Tiger, so...Francis can decide, well...very good!"
Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, his eyes lit up a little, and his whole body seemed much more energetic: "Once the Zhongfulang machine is stabilized, the next one should be Osman, right?" ? The Ottomans should not be underestimated. They have a vast territory and countless soldiers... Given time, they will still be in serious trouble after all."
"Father said the extreme, son..."
When Zhu Houzhao said this, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "Okay, you are the emperor. Since you have made up your mind, you don't need to report it to me. Now that I am living my life, I don't want to listen to it anymore. I only hope to see good news in my lifetime.”
After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, he walked towards Fang Jifan and stared at Fang Jifan with a kind look in his eyes: "You have become the regent today, so you should assist the emperor well, I...I have always regarded you as my own relative My son looks at it. I am here, and Xiao Banban is with me every day, but I always feel that something is missing. Thinking about it carefully... It seems that there is no one around me, and I feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Jing stood aside, silent all the time, when he heard this, he raised his eyes complicatedly, and glanced at Fang Jifan.
In the bottom of my heart, there seems to be a kind of emotion that is both born Yu and He Shengliang. Obviously... we have spent a lifetime of hard work and hard work...but in the end...
Zhu Houzhao blinked, as if he hadn't recalled it yet...
Fang Jifan understood something, and said: "This is because the emperor is a person who values feelings. Most of the emperors in the past dynasties are cruel, but you are the only one who has the true temperament. The emperor is not only civil and martial arts, but also benevolent and generous. He is a model for the people of the world, not to mention compared with the emperors, but throughout the ages, how many gentlemen are not half as good as the emperor. What I admire most is that the emperor is kind and kind. As long as you are by the emperor's side, My heart feels very comfortable, like a spring breeze, my heart is happy."
Emperor Hongzhi laughed when he heard this, and said cheerfully: "Hahahaha... that's right, that's the taste. I haven't heard it for many days, and I miss it very much. These words came from Jifan's mouth. Only the taste."
