With the reward of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen returned to the palace. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

Under the pretext that he had court affairs to deal with, Zhao Junchen stayed in the study for the rest of the day, and even planned to sleep in the study.

Although Fang Ru came to see Zhao Junchen several times and persuaded Zhao Junchen to rest early, he was sent away by Zhao Junchen for various reasons.

Fang Ru is very beautiful and very attractive, but Zhao Junchen's temperament is a little conservative after all, and he is not familiar with her, and he still can't do this kind of thing sleeping with an almost strange woman.

………

In the study, Zhao Junchen sat quietly behind the desk, outside the window, the moon hung high in the sky, and it was late at night.

It was late, but Zhao Junchen couldn't sleep anyway, and his mind kept recalling his experience since this day.

For some reason, Zhao Junchen suddenly felt that both Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu Heyu were a little pitiful.

Emperor Deqing, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, is rich in the world, but he can't even take out the three or five hundred thousand taels of silver needed for the southern tour, you know, although these silver can't be considered small, but it is by no means much, even Zhao Junchen can take it out lightly. Emperor Deqing called himself a holy monarch, but a shabby "holy monarch" like this is rare since ancient times.

Compared with Emperor Deqing, the crown prince Zhu Heyu is even more pitiful, he tried his best to show himself, just to be able to prove himself in front of Emperor Deqing and win the attention of Emperor Deqing, but now Zhao Junchen, who has understood Emperor Deqing's thoughts, knows very well that the better Zhu and Yu are and the higher his prestige, the more Emperor Deqing is suspicious of him, and even jealous of him.

Of course, on the other hand, if one day Zhu and Yu are mediocre, I am afraid that Emperor Deqing will be dissatisfied with him again.

The position of the crown prince seems to be beautiful, but the embarrassing position of half a monarch and half a minister is destined to be difficult to do.

Thinking of the confrontation between himself and Zhu and Yu today, Zhao Junchen sighed leisurely.

Then, he heard Fang Ru's voice.

"What is the master bothering about?"

Zhao Junchen turned his head and saw Fang Ru standing outside the study, under the misty moonlight, Fang Ru's charming face and bewitching figure were even more tempting at this time.

Zhao Junchen asked, "It's so late, you haven't slept yet?" ”

It was past the early hours of the morning, and even Xu Qingyan, who had always been energetic, couldn't help but go to sleep.

Fang Ru smiled: "Isn't the master also asleep yet?" I'm a little worried about my lord, so I can't sleep. ”

Thinking of Zhao Junchen's previous sigh, Fang Ru asked again, "Master, what are you worried about?" Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I don't know what to do. ”

Zhao Junchen didn't have any doubts or worries, but he just wanted to talk to someone, so he pointed to the seat next to him and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk to me." ”

After Fang Ru sat down, he didn't rush to ask, but his eyes reflecting the moonlight looked at Zhao Junchen quietly, waiting for Zhao Junchen to take the initiative to speak.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Junchen finally spoke.

"Fang Ru, you said that Zhu and Yu, if they can ascend the throne and succeed to the throne in the future, will they be a good emperor?"

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Fang Ru was a little surprised, he didn't know why Zhao Junchen would ask such a question, but he still replied: "Absolutely not." ”

The tone is quite affirmative.

Zhao Junchen smiled, he had long known that Fang Ru would answer like this, but he still asked, "Why do you say that?" That Zhu and Yu are famous all over the world, treat the virtuous ministers and Qing officials with courtesy, be good as a stream, be jealous of the corrupt officials and traitors, and kill them all, and have always attached importance to the community, cherish the people's power, and do not lack ability, he is not lacking in the advantages of the holy monarch and the lord throughout the ages, Qingliu and the people have high hopes for him, how can he not be a good emperor? ”

Fang Ru shook his head and said, "Master, you ask like this, it can be seen that you already know it, so why do you want to ask me again?" I don't know about government politics, and I don't read much history books, but I also know that none of the saints and lords of the past and present have the merit of being jealous and hateful, and I know that there is a saying called 'When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples'. Those holy monarchs and lords in the ancient books have always been as many virtuous and clean officials as there are traitors and corrupt officials around them, and only when the two are held against each other can their thrones be stable. If according to the temperament of Na Zhu and Yu, he will kill all the corrupt officials in the whole dynasty, I am afraid that there will be ninety percent fewer officials in this world, and where will he find so many Qing officials and virtuous ministers to maintain the government? Who else will dare to enter the court and become an official in the future? If there are only Qing officials and virtuous ministers left in the court, how can his throne be stable? Qing officials and virtuous ministers may not all be loyal ministers. ”

Zhao Junchen smiled again, but didn't speak, just motioned for Fang Ru to continue.

Under Zhao Junchen's signal, Fang Ru continued: "Zhu Heyu's biggest shortcoming is that although he has no shortage of ambitions, he doesn't know how to realize his ambitions, he doesn't know how to be flexible, he doesn't know how to compromise, he only knows that if he moves forward, he will inevitably hit the south wall in the future. Although there are some good and great achievements, and it can even be said that some ambitions are sparse, but there is never a lack of imperial skills, a monarch and emperor, the most important thing is not ability, nor heart, but whether there is a means to control the ministers, during the reign of His Majesty today, although the officials are not well governed, and the people suffer, but at least the center of the temple is stable, and the world is therefore stable, if Zhu and Yu inherit the throne, with his character, the world is afraid that it has already been turbulent. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You said that you don't understand the government and have read few history books, but you can say this truth, but you understand it much better than many court officials who have read poetry and books." ”

Fang Ru said with a smile: "Governing the country is like governing the family, and people's hearts are the same. ”

Zhao Junchen stroked his palm and praised: "A good sentence, people's hearts are the same." Saying that, Zhao Junchen added: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has another shortcoming, that is, he didn't understand at all that the way of employing people is much more important than virtue. If it comes to his hands, I am afraid that he will be killed, let alone make some achievements to be immortal. ”

Fang Ru nodded and smiled: "What the master said is reasonable, just like you, master, before you took charge of the household department, what was the household department like?" What does the household department look like today? Although you are not a clean official, you are much more useful than ten hundred clean officials. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Ru finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are you talking about this today?" ”

"It's nothing, just talk about it."

Zhao Junchen said casually.

In fact, it was not just a casual talk, these words finally made Zhao Junchen firm up his determination to be hostile to Zhu Heyu.

In the past, because Zhu Heyu was "destined to be a Ming monarch and holy lord", Zhao Junchen thought that he was going to go against him, and he always had a feeling of being sorry for the people of the world.

But after this conversation, Zhao Junchen became at ease.

In a way, the so-called "peace of mind" is a terrible state of mind.

Because, it means unscrupulous.
