Chapter 5: Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger

The two dragons did not meet each other.

The emperor is a true dragon, and the prince is a hidden dragon. They both carry the energy of destiny. When they meet, they will be in conflict with each other. However, the hidden dragon comes to the world, and the true energy is weak. Once they meet the real dragon, the conflicting energy cannot be resisted.

There will be a disaster of returning to heaven.

Jiajing is a believer, and since his heirs have been dying in infancy, there is no room for him to be careless.

Judging from my few memories, I haven't seen my grandson for a long, long time.

Jiajing had seven sons, and now only the third son, Prince Yu, Zhu Zaijing, who was later known as Emperor Longqing, and the fourth son, Prince Jing, Zhu Zaizhen, are left.

As for the emperor's grandson, there is currently none... no, there was one just now.

Several eunuchs were kneeling in the snow in front of the steps of Yuxi Palace.

Heavy snow fell on their heads and bodies. The eunuch at the front held a tray high in his hand. Even though it was snowing, he could still see a big jade on the golden satin in the tray!

Princess Yu gave birth to a baby!

That faint king of Wanli was born.

Jiajing was a little indifferent, thinking that he was a young man in his twenties, he was still a baby, but now he even had a grandson, and he was still a coward, how could you make him happy?

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkwardly stagnant in the wind and snow.

The emperor said nothing, and the "two dragons did not meet each other" for decades. After temporarily solving the financial problem, all the bigwigs left one after another.

Everyone goes back to their homes and makes plans.

Prince Yu's Mansion.

Several chairs formed a circle around a dome-copper brazier in the middle. Xu stepped up and sat down on King Yu's right side, while Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun sat down on King Yu's left side.

The king and his ministers were talking around the fire at night, looking at each other, and feeling a little sad that they didn't know where to start.

"Mr. Xu Ge, Brother Suqing, and Brother Taiyue don't know how the prince came here these few hours."

When Tan Lun, the minister of the palace, started talking, his eyes were already a little moist: "The princess began to give birth when she was in Yin, and the mother who delivered her for two hours was unable to come. It was because she suddenly remembered that there was a birth-stimulating pill left by Li Shizhen last year in the palace, so I took it.

I came here and gave it to the princess to keep the mother and child safe."

Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng looked at Prince Yu who was sitting on the armchair in the middle with concern, and saw that his face was still pale and weak.

Tan Lun continued: "The princess here is having a difficult childbirth, and the prince is still thinking about you. He went outside the gate several times in the snow to see her. I'm really afraid that one of you won't be able to come back this time."

"Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi. It is nothing more than dedicating this life to the Ming Dynasty like Zhou Yunyi did."

Gao Gong showed a sense of pride when he said this: "Your Majesty has given birth to a son, and the Ming Dynasty will be revived. Among us, if one of us dies, there will be another one. Sitting in this seat, it is better not to fight at this time.

It’s better to die.”

"But the Ming Dynasty only has energy like you." King Yu seemed to have regained some strength. He reached out and picked up the copper tongs on the copper basin and stirred the charcoal fire. His voice was still thin due to fatigue: "If the imperial court doesn't even have a few of you,

Now, I really don’t know who else can help the Emperor correct the current situation."

"The emperor is still wise." Xu Jie, the second assistant to the cabinet, added: "Such consequences will not happen."

Gao Gong, who had a cheerful and angry personality, said angrily: "But today's result is not much better. My lord, it's discouraging to say it. All the bad debts last year have been repaid."

"This year finally got off to a good start." Xu Jie continued: "Expenditures have been controlled and no more taxes have been imposed on the people. Zhejiang's proposal to change agriculture to mulberry was also refuted by the emperor, forcing Yan Song to cut meat and patrol salt.

"

"The most important thing is to open the sea." Zhang Juzheng grasped the key point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Both King Yu and Tan Lun looked at him.

Zhang Juzheng stood up, cupped his hands towards King Yu and said, "Your Majesty, he must be serious this time. The core of this year's government must be around opening up the sea. Your lord, we have to take a long-term view. If we want to open up the sea, Hu Zongxian must pacify it."

After the Japanese pirate rebellion broke out in the southeast, there is a high probability that Hu Butang would preside over the opening of the sea, and Hu Zongxian is Yan Song’s proud student..."

For some reason, Tan Lun muttered: "If the emperor approves the change from farming to mulberry, it will probably be done."

Yanfu.

Yan Song sat on the chair with dull eyes, Yan Shifan scurried back and forth like a trapped animal, Luo Longwen, the general envoy who controlled various memorials, and Yan Maoqing, the minister of punishment, all had grim faces.

"father!"

Yan Shifan suddenly stood still: "Changing rice to mulberry is not enough. We have other ways. We can just find a few businessmen to ransack their homes. Why do we need to patrol for salt? This is cutting flesh on ourselves!"

Yan Maoqing's face wrinkled into a bitter melon: "Mr. Ge, this job is really hard to do! If you don't do it well, our Southern Party will disband."

The people below have been giving them confessions, and now they want to use the salt patrol to get the corrupt officials below to take out millions of taels of silver. Who can do this?

Except for him, Yan Maoqing, who can succeed in patrolling the salt, and who can control the network of large and small interests involved in the salt tax.

But, it offends people!

Mr. Ge, you keep talking, but I'm going to break my legs.

"You can't be calm when things happen. You've had enough of standing in front of me. Please sit down."

Yan Song still didn't move, but his eyes had been retracted from the distance, and he smiled: "The emperor's attitude today is to let us cut the flesh. Just cut it! It's just a few million taels of silver."

"Dad, the emperor made me feel a little strange today."

Yan Song lowered his eyes: "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor is one of the few wise emperors in history. He can see through the disadvantages of changing rice to mulberry at a glance. Is there anything strange about it?"

After a pause, Yan Song tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile: "It would be great to open the sea! If the emperor wants to open the sea and needs money, we will never fail."

Supervisor of Ceremonies.

The two eunuchs on duty lifted the frozen Feng Bao hard, carried him into the duty room with difficulty, placed him on an armchair, took off Feng Bao's clothes, immediately turned around and went out and filled two basins of snow with copper basins.

The fire in the Dayun copper basin was burning vigorously. After a while, although Feng Bao's eyes were still closed, his teeth were already chattering up and down.

One eunuch picked up a handful of snow and wiped his arms gently, and another eunuch picked up a handful of snow and wiped his legs and feet.

Lu Fang sat in front of the chair by the window and closed her eyes slightly.

"Ouch." Feng Bao finally groaned.

Lu Fang's eyes opened and she looked at Feng Bao: "Carry him to the kang and feed him ginger soup."

One of the two eunuchs hugged the upper body, the other the lower body, and carried him to the Kang. After drinking a few mouthfuls of ginger soup, Feng Bao coughed twice and recovered. Although he was very weak, he still struggled and kowtowed on the pillow.

: "Godfather... my son is wrong..."

As he spoke, he started to cry.

Lu Fang stood in front of the kang: "You all get out."

The two eunuchs on duty said "yes" and left.

Lu Fang sat down by the kang: "You have been following me for so many years and you have taught me every day. Even after teaching the cow three times, you will lose the rope. Look at your arrogance. In order to climb up in a hurry, you beat Zhou Yunyi to death twenty-nine times."

, today I rush to report auspiciousness again. I don’t care about you, so many people in the palace don’t hold grudges? There are so many colleagues from Zhou Yunyi, and Prince Yu! If you are looking for death, you are not the one looking for it.”

Feng Bao replied repeatedly: "My child knows that he is wrong, and he will correct it in the future."

Lu Fang stopped talking and just stared at Feng Bao softly.

This look made Feng Bao feel nervous. Mr. **** just mentioned it to me... Feng Bao, you have to know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. With your current abilities, you will die in the palace sooner or later.

…”

"Godfather..." Feng Bao shivered and climbed up on the edge of the kang. He didn't know what his ancestor meant and what "Long Live the Lord made a mouthful" meant.

Lu Fang sighed and said, "I'll teach you two sentences. Remember them!"

Feng Bao looked at Lu Fang blankly.

"There is a saying from civil servants, 'Be an official and you should think twice'! What does 'think twice' mean? 'Think twice' means 'Think twice about danger, think about retreat, think twice about change'! If you know the danger, you can avoid it. This is called 'think twice'."

"Dangerous"; hiding in a place where people no longer pay attention to you is called "thinking about retreating"; when you retreat, you will have the opportunity to look back slowly and think about where you went wrong before and what you should do in the future.

It’s called ‘thinking about change’!”

"I'll teach you what the military attaches said - 'put yourself to death and then live'! You killed Zhou Yunyi. Not only King Yu, but also many people hate you. This is good. But how are you going to make them

Understand, you didn’t kill Zhou Yunyi, and you wouldn’t have had this chance if he stayed in the palace.”

"Go to Zhejiang! The court will take at least five years to change rice into mulberry. Go and watch. Do things well, do things with heart, and think more about the people. Long live the Lord is going to become an immortal. One person will achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven, sooner or later.

On the first day of your life..."

Yuxi Palace.

Jiajing simply ate Yuanxiao, then sat cross-legged on the Bagua table, his eyes falling on the space between his eyebrows.

The scene in front of him quickly faded, and Emperor Wanshou looked down at all living beings...
