Outsiders may say that the emperor is stupid and cowardly, and they don't know that his throne has long been crumbling, but in fact, the emperor just doesn't want to disturb himself. Even if there are voices criticizing General Shen from outside, they don't even have the courage to fight for General Shen head-on, and how many of them can be expected to be loyal ministers of the Society who really have Jin Zuo Sheji in their hearts and are afraid of the loss of the royal industry?

Further, even if his brother-in-law's power is subverted and falls short, will the new rising person be regarded as the emperor in his eyes before he succeeds?

The emperor has personal experience, even the mother and son, his mother and queen mother have obviously returned to him when they are alive, but they always have to reprimand him for his life, and then cause the disaster of death a few years ago.

After understanding this, the emperor was really too lazy to lend the so-called righteous name to those who had distracting thoughts but were not able to do it. This can be said to be a rational choice, or it can be said to be fate, but he is the emperor of the emperor, since he enjoyed the country, it is rare to be independent, and he has fallen into military disasters several times.

The simplest point is that even if his brother-in-law is good at power, he has at least saved his life several times, and he still has a relationship with him. Lending the name of righteousness to Luoyang Xingtai, there is still hope to complete the great cause of crusading against Hu Kou and reshaping the mountains and rivers.

But if you lend it to others, not to mention how those people have a relationship with others, at the very least, it will make the political situation in Jiangdong fall into the situation of internal friction and tearing in previous years, and all the previous achievements will be wiped out. He will still only be a puppet played by various families, forever fixed in the history books as a cowardly and incompetent image, and he may not even be able to enjoy the stability of his life.

"No matter what my brother-in-law is, at least he has the talent to stabilize the chaos. Nowadays, the external affairs are magnificent, the internal affairs are peaceful, and there is a peaceful situation that has not been seen since Zhongxing. When it comes to the state of mind of being happy to be stable and afraid of danger, I am almost the same as Jiangdong Limin, and I am really tired of the world and being poor again. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh again: "The position of the emperor is the most demanding position in the world, but those who have good talent and disobedience may not be the natural choice." In the Taiping world, there are still patriarchal rituals that can also shelter the weak monarch a little, but once this world of ritual and music collapses, the so-called throne is really to put the emperor in the cooker to steam and suffer.

Whether I am mediocre or cowardly, it is a kind of luck that I can control my brother-in-law, a rare talent in the world, and be a virtuous king who does nothing and governs. But so that everyone has food, and the common people are hopeful, why should I be willing to be lonely, do big with a small one, and sigh in vain that my talent is poor. ”

In fact, if you don't consider the gains and losses of power, the past few years since Qitai have indeed been the most comfortable days in the emperor's life.

He doesn't have to sit in the library every day, reading the classics that he is neither interested in nor have the opportunity to use, nor does he have to chase the ducks to the shelves to argue about some trivial things, let alone stand in front of his mother's back seat every day and be scrutinized by his mean gaze.

To be honest, he is even glad that it is his brother-in-law who is in charge of the country now. It is precisely because of his strong talent that his brother-in-law no longer has to force him to put him out to create any momentum, and he can arrange his life and diet according to his heart.

Although the emperor is not very old, he has seen a lot of various powerful ministers.

For example, his uncle Yu Liang has the appearance of self-denial and loyalty to the monarch and the country, but the restraint on him has never been relaxed, and it is even strict to the point that he must recite how many scriptures and texts he must recite every day. Was this a careful instruction to make him a lord of judgment?

It was a long time before the emperor came to his senses, no, it was only because Yu Liang's behavior in controlling the king was in conflict with his own long-cultivated values, and the facts forced him to do so. That's why he put the anxiety in his heart on the emperor, so as to seek a psychological comfort, and deceived himself to tell himself that he was worthy of Su Zu's grace, and he had been teaching the emperor to become a talent.

Although the queen mother is not a minister, her heart can be said to be in the same vein as her uncle, and even because of this special connection between mother and son, she has a much closer grip on the emperor, making the emperor almost breathless. Their brother and sister, to put it bluntly and cruelly, compensated for the guilt in their hearts caused by the distortion of knowledge and action by abusing the emperor.

There is also Su Jun, who was unruly for a while, when his people abused Jiankang, he insulted the emperor at every turn, nothing more than reprimanding the emperor for favoring his relatives and being mean to the heroes.

And during that period of time, the emperor was too young, and he was mostly frightened at that time. But in retrospect, I can't help but feel the weakness under Su Jun's tough appearance, the kind of grief and indignation that is fierce and inward-looking, maybe a little bit of it is true feelings, sad and indignant at the unfairness of the world.

There is also a Wang Dao of Zhongxing Yuanzhu, which is an outlier among the ministers, lacking in grandeur and corners, seemingly magnanimous and broad, but the psychological shadow brought to the emperor is not small. When he was a child, he had several nightmares, in which Wang Dao turned into a huge and ugly spider, constantly spinning silk to bind the emperor tightly into a cocoon.

Since Qitai, especially with the establishment of Luoyang Xingtai, Jiankang Taiyuan is no longer the focus of the entire imperial court, and the emperor has finally been freed from the old environment that made him feel depressed in the past, and even feels that the sky is a little blue, and his breathing is a little smoother.

Since then, although the emperor has occasionally come to court, all he has received is exciting good news. It is no longer like in previous years that the Taiwan assistants are worried about the country and the people, and they are discussing some dark topics every day, and it is clear that the emperor has no ability to interfere at all, and he has to sit on the imperial bed and look at the old guys from beginning to end sighing and sorrowful.

Although the general and the Shen family behind him controlled domestic and foreign affairs, their control and control of the emperor was not serious. To put it mildly, many times they even ignore the existence of the emperor at all.

Such a major event as the Western Expedition to Guanzhong began without the emperor's knowledge, and it was not until the merit of recovering Chang'an was sent to Jiankang that the emperor knew that his brother-in-law's planning in Jiangbei was once again successful.

Originally, this kind of ignorance should have been a humiliating situation. But this was not the case for the emperor, who had received enough attention when he was a child, and he was tired of being noticed and doing nothing from the bottom of his heart, which made him feel that his shortcomings were multiplied for scrutiny and ridicule.

Therefore, instead of being ashamed of being ignored at the moment, the emperor was able to enjoy himself. Even in the autumn of the second year of Qitai, he also made a short trip, leaving the palace of Jiankang, following the path of Su Jun's rebellion in previous years, the escape of his mother and younger brother, and all the way to Beijing.

On this way, the gallop road is open and flat, less tired of the bumps of cars and horses, and see the counties and counties and countryside are staggered, and the mulberry forest gardens are continuous, and the people along the way also give a warm welcome to the arrival of the royal car.

Along the way, the emperor stopped in Yunyangzhuang in the Fengyi of Sister Qu, and regretted that he could not see the sea of flowers that his sister boasted to him many times in the early years, and the vast sea of flowers reached more than ten miles.

Later, he entered the Great Cause Pass City, and his own attaché told him about the fall of Gyeonggi that year, and his brother-in-law used how short it took to build such a majestic pass city, and then led hundreds of horsemen to Jiankang City, where tens of thousands of rebels were entrenched, and rescued him.

In the end, the emperor stayed in the Yanshan Manor, where the Xingtai was located, summoned many people in Beijing, and heard more about the old things he didn't know about back then, and it was inevitable that there were many strange feelings in his heart, obviously he himself was in the bureau back then, and it was an absolute central focus, but when he heard many old things he didn't know, there was a sense of witnessing the vicissitudes of history.

This trip is also the only one in the emperor's life, and many of the new and interesting experiences he has never forgotten. Even if he had a serious illness after he came back, and even almost died, but after his condition improved and he recovered, he hurriedly wrote a letter to Luoyang, telling his brother-in-law that he was not sick from traveling, and that he should not be detained for many years on this ground.

After that, the brother-in-law replied to him with mixed feelings, first of all, he did not blame him for wandering, and said that if the emperor still wants to travel in the future, as long as the conditions allow, he will not prohibit it, but remember not to wear white dragonfish. The emperor also recognized this, he was not a person who was keen on taking risks, especially after a serious illness, and felt that his life was precious.

But although his brother-in-law did not forbid him to travel, he sent him a detailed account of the many expenses of his trip. After the emperor looked at it, he was also so shocked that he bit off the root of his tongue, this short trip, back and forth for more than a month, all the expenses were converted into more than 60 million dollars!

What is the concept of more than 60 million dollars? At present, the price of grain and rice in Jiankang hovers around 15 or 6 yuan, the price of half a hectare of houses and courtyards in the good area of the Qinhuai River is around 1 million yuan, and the price of the most elite officers and men of the Fourth Army of the Wang Division is around 50,000 yuan.

In other words, the emperor's trip cost enough for more than 6,000 households and four to consume food for a year, enough to buy most of the houses in the most prosperous area of Jiankang City, and enough to arm a whole battalion of the most elite soldiers in the world!

The emperor himself didn't have any concept of money, but after calculating it in his heart, he felt that he was too loser.

Of course, he didn't know that there were problems with this account, and the overall responsibility for the emperor's travels was mainly the Wuzhong Business League, so the consumption was mainly poured from the inner library to the Shang League, but the specific personnel consumption and other real consumption was also more than 20 million dollars, which was just a short road from Jiankang to Jingfu, which had already been matured.

On the one hand, he felt that the cost of travel was amazing, and on the other hand, he really wanted to visit the mountains and rivers, so the emperor, who had never known about running a real estate, also started the idea of saving money by himself.

I don't know the beauty of power in my life, and the room for maneuver left by the rectification of Jiangdong officials is getting smaller and smaller, not to mention that this little bit of caution is also ashamed to ask outsiders for advice, and the only thing the emperor can ask for advice is his own sister and Shen Ahe, who is a playmate of his children.

After this consultation, the emperor glared, for the time being, no matter who belongs to the whole world in the future, the private wealth of the portal alone, not only the sister is richer than him, even Shen Ahe, an unobtrusive boy, is actually a hidden huge rich, counting him as the poorest, and even maintaining it in the garden for so many years, it has always been the consumption of negative assets, and there is a lack of savings.
