Chapter 787 The King's New Clothes

The court meeting held at the Imperial Gate the next morning, the conclusion was indeed not unexpected.

The ministers were all dissuading Zhu Gaoxu for various reasons; but because Qi Tai mentioned the view of necessity yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu felt that all the reasons for the ministers could be attributed to this.

During this period, there were indeed several nobles and nobles who supported the Japanese army, but the reasons were not convincing.After all, court discussions are the highest-standard discussions on matters, and the more loyal the more it is, the more reasonable it is.

I would like to ask the priest to be the sage.Qi Tai's voice came from below the steps.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the high throne and didn't say anything for a long time.

Today there are clouds and light rain. The weather is not so bright when there is no sun. There are no lights inside the Imperial Gate in broad daylight, but instead the light seems a bit dim.

So his expression and posture were a little casual, and the ministers couldn't see him clearly anyway.

I would like to ask the saint to judge.Qi Tai's voice came again.

If the monarch and ministers are opposed to each other and have completely misunderstood each other, it will cause unexpected damage and internal friction to the huge and complex national internal affairs and the current system.

Zhu Gaoxu had a great deal of power before, such as forgiving most people during the reign of the prince, tolerating Xie Jin and reinstateing his post, all to express political sincerity.

After two civil wars in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu finally got the current situation. He did not want the ministers to think that he was a militarist.

What seems to be a key issue?

Zhu Gaoxu felt that he should not fight alone, or maybe it was some major event, and he should not be too impatient; otherwise would it backfire?

He couldn't judge for a moment.

From a certain perspective, the performance of the ministers today is actually a very good situation; there are no remarks that ignore the facts just to please the emperor, making the temple a tool for lip service and fame and fortune.

He finally said: You are just saying things, and what you said makes sense. I have to consider this matter more carefully and let it go.

The wisest!Qi Tai said.Everyone bowed and shouted long live.The court discussion ended, and after some etiquette, people disbanded.

After Zhu Gaoxu left the Imperial Gate, he did not show any emotional expression. He reviewed the memorials as usual and maintained his work and rest time.I went to Kunning Palace at night and went to the queen to sleep.

The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Zhanhe, will be seven years old this September, but the boy grew up slowly when he was a child, and Zhanhe is still very small.

Zhanhe has not officially been granted a title, and he still lives in Kunning Palace and is asked to take care of Guo Wei.

After dark, Zhu Gaoxu walked into Zhanhe's room and saw a lot of fun stuff inside.

There are small bows and arrows, wooden swords, wooden carved horses, kites and other things.

Guo Wei scolded Zhanhe in front of Zhu Gaoxu: I told you to follow the teacher to read and write, and you will know how to be greedy and stubborn all day long.Your big companion is also very unreasonable.

Zhu Gaoxu did not scold him, but just said: Zhanhe, my father doesn’t spend much time with you on weekdays, so I’ll tell you a story tonight.

Zhan He had just been scolded by his mother, and then he responded angrily.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the bed, sat down, recalled it, and then began to tell.

A long time ago, there was a king in the West who liked to dress up the most and spent all his money on all kinds of clothes.He neither cared about the army nor liked government affairs, nor even poetry, books, etiquette, hunting, and loved to travel in a carriage to show off his new clothes.He had to change his clothes many times every day. When people mentioned him, they always said: The king was changing his clothes...

The child's attention is easily distracted. After a moment of watching the valley, he forgot all his unhappiness and was attracted by the story. He said curiously: There is also such a king!

Zhu Gaoxu spoke slowly with a bright voice and color, and Zhanhe listened very seriously.He may not be very interested in reading, but he obviously likes novel stories.

...A child said he was not wearing any clothes, but he really didn't wear any clothes!In the end, all the people were talking about it.The king became more and more uneasy, and he felt that the people's comments were true.But he thought to himself: I must finish the parade.Therefore, he posed for a more arrogant look.His close servants followed him, holding a robe that did not exist in his hand.

After finishing the talk of the king's new clothes, Zhu Gaoxu said: Let's go to bed.

Zhanhe still looked unsatisfied and muttered: What a stupid minister, he is not as good as a child!My father said another one, but my son still wants to listen.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: No matter how much you like, you must have a degree. You cannot be in the "clothes room" all day long.It's too late today, it's time to go to bed.If you are good, your father will tell you a new story in the future.After saying that, he pulled the quilt to cover Zhanhe, and turned around and walked out of the room.

Guo Wei followed and said softly: The emperor is so fond of him.But that story is really interesting, and I listen to it with relish.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and sighed softly: I look at Zhanhe. I am afraid that only when I was a child can he be happy and carefree. When he grows up, he has a heavy responsibility and is destined to be born.

Guo Wei suddenly became more cautious and said slowly: There is blessing in looking at the valley, and there is a wise father who shelters from the wind and rain.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: According to common sense, I cannot protect him for the rest of my life. He must take over my responsibilities in the future.Some officials in the court have already written a letter to advise me to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, and I think it's time to go.

Guo Wei hurriedly said: The emperor is in his prime and is still young, so why not talk about it later?

If you have already established the prince, everyone will feel at ease. Zhu Gaoxu said that Zhanhe is the eldest son, and he is the best as the crown prince, and there is no dispute; in this way, the remaining princes can be safely a vassal king, which is actually quite good. They don’t need to bear too much expectations. As long as they are healthy and upright, know the right and wrong, and live a happy life, their parents will be very satisfied.

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly understood what his father and mother did.He never blamed Zhu Di too much, but at this time he gave up everything.

The two of them walked along Langwu to Guo Wei's bedroom.Guo Wei then ordered the female official to ask someone to fetch water and wait for Zhu Gaoxu to take a shower and change his clothes.

Zhu Gaoxu also sat down on a big chair in the front hall, waiting for the palace maids to prepare.

After a while, Guo Wei's voice suddenly said: Is anyone unhappy about the emperor?

Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and shook his head and said: It's okay. If everything in the court can follow the emperor's heart, that emperor must have been wearing the "emperor's new clothes" and is being blinded.

Guo Wei immediately smiled and said: The emperor said this as appropriate. I wonder if Zhanhe can understand the meaning.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I understand, didn’t you hear him say, ministers are stupider than children?

The valley is still small, and I don’t know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Guo Wei said. She then asked carefully: What's wrong?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: It’s no big deal, Weier doesn’t have to worry. I suddenly remembered my recent insights on history books.

oh?Guo Wei moved slightly, looking at a scrupulous look.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Before Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries and unify the world, the political concept of great unification was not formed, and the division of princes was the way to be recognized by the people of the world.Qin Shihuang unified the world, implemented the county system, and began a grand reform of centralization.However, the Qin Dynasty lasted for a very short time and then perished.

The Qin Dynasty was destroyed, but the First Emperor's ambition was followed.When Liu Bang was a villain, the saying "A real man should do this" meant that he would inherit the ambitions of the First Emperor.However, the Han Dynasty was forced to enfeoff at first, and truly consolidated the centralized state system and was about to be reduced by Emperor Wu of Han.You see, once you reach the level of historical trends, a person's life is too short.

Guo Wei seemed to feel Zhu Gaoxu's mood and comforted her kindly: The emperor is in his prime and will surely achieve great success.A real man should be like a saint.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I am indeed young and strong, I don’t believe it and you can feel it later.

Guo Wei didn't come back to her senses at first, but suddenly she looked embarrassed.Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she was originally beautiful and beautiful. At this time, she didn't look like she had been a mother for seven years.

The two of them said some private words, and Guo Wei gradually became less cautious as she was at first. Anyway, it was not a serious matter, and she became much more casual.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Guo Wei also said more: Why can Yao Ji's breasts grow so big? Did she eat something to recuperate when she was a child?

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless.

Guo Wei whispered again: Little... The imperial concubine's eyes are so seductive. The emperor said how did her waist and buttocks be trained like that?

Zhu Gaoxu thought that Guo Wei had comforted him before, so he said kindly: Weier is also very good, don’t worry about them.

Guo Wei hurriedly asked: Where is my good place?

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: She is slender and graceful.

Guo Wei asked seriously: Is this a good thing? The emperor likes this?

Zhu Gaoxu whispered in her ear: Weier's body is very soft, and I always feel that I am particularly strong.Besides, there is only one queen, so you don’t have to care too much about anyone else.

OK.I thought the Lord would get tired of me, but I was quite happy that the Lord was willing to say these words.Guo Wei whispered.

She sat up, reached out to put one side of the tent, and then lay on the quilt to place the tent at the end of the bed.

The lights were still lit in the palace, but the curtain had two layers, one layer of gauze and the other layer of purple satin was opaque. The curtain suddenly became dim and the light became softer.

When she returned to the bed, Zhu Gaoxu supported himself and looked down at Guo Wei's face. Her eyes shone brightly in the soft curtain.

The surroundings also became quiet, and Guo Wei's breathing was clearly audible, as if it was a little more rapid than before.
