Chapter 600: Right and wrong

Qian Yiai listened to the prince teasing her and asked with a wry smile: "Your Highness, aren't you here today just to tease your subordinates?"

When Zhu Hai heard Qian Yiai's question, he sighed and said, "Zigao, today I have something to do and please analyze it!"

Zhu Hai then told Qian Yiai what happened in the afternoon, and after that, he asked, "Zi Gao, I am also very puzzled. Why is my father's expression today? You must know that my father had been disciplined by me before, but he never had this expression today. What does it look like? Lost... Yes! It's loss! Could it be that I did something like that I didn't mean to be with my father?"

Although Qian Yiai was not satisfied with his official position, he was good at making a smart move. In addition, he had contact with Zhu Hongsanduo, so he still had some confidence in the emperor's inner self!

"Your Highness, you are right. The Emperor is just losing to you!"

Zhu Hai was stunned and asked, "Why is this? I feel that the answer is correct! My father had already announced the world at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. Isn't it all that he has lost all his heart now?"

"Your Highness, you are wrong. The emperor's loss is not because of the right or wrong of the court stick, but because you are not standing on the same front as him! You must know that you are the crown prince, the crown prince, and the future emperor. At this time, you stand up to oppose the emperor, which is really hurting the emperor's heart!"

When Zhu Hai heard this, he was sweating coldly. His position as the prince came from the emperor. Now his younger brothers are eyeing him. If he makes any mistakes and annoys his father, it will be a disaster.

"Zigao, teach me how to make up for the dead!"

"Your Highness, what's the use of repairing the sheep if it's been destroyed? But don't worry, your highness is still far from the point of repairing the sheep if it's broken. Now the emperor is just a little disappointed with you and does not intend to change the prince. After all, Your Highness comes from the central palace and has the protection of the queen's Yu Yinyi inside and the assistance of Yuanfu outside. As long as you don't commit major problems in principle, the emperor cannot dismiss you!"

Zhu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qian Yiai's analysis and said, "Zi Gao, then teach me how to make my father happy? Do you have to agree with my father in everything?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty the Emperor is now in full swing in the spring and autumn. I guess you, the prince, will be in charge for decades. It is really not a solution to pretend like this!"

Zhu Hai was right to hear Qian Yiai say this. His father is only 33 years old now, and he probably will be able to live for twenty years at the most. He will be exposed sooner or later.

Qian Yiai thought for a while and continued, "Your Highness, the prince has only had two fates throughout history, and was deposed and ascended the throne. Most of the princes who were behind the emperor had no good fate. It is better to learn from the prince of Emperor Taizu Gao of this dynasty, Zhu Biao!"

Zhu Hai was so angry that he heard Qian Yiai say this. This is a good idea. Zhu Biao opposed Zhu Yuanzhang and was repeatedly scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang. In the end, he was frightened to death. This is not a good example to learn from.

"Zi Gao, what are you doing to pay attention to? Did you let me be scared to death by learning from Emperor Xiaokang?" Zhu Biao died of illness in the 25th year of Hongwu. In August, he was buried in the east of Xiaoling, which is the Eastern Tomb of Ming, and was posthumously named "Yiwen". In the first year of Jianwen, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Xiaokang, and the temple name was Xingzong. After being named King Yan Zhu Di in Jingnan, he was later called the crown prince of Emperor Yiwen. In the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yousong was also called Emperor Xiaokang. Zhu Hongsan recognized the legitimacy of Emperor Hongguang, Zhu Yousong, so he called Zhu Biao the Emperor Xiaokang.

"Your Highness, you just saw the ending of Prince Zhu Biao, but Your Highness did not see that Zhu Biao's situation was very similar to that of Prince you?"

Qian Yiai was shocked when he saw Zhu Hai, and then said, "Emperor Taizu Gao started from scratch and built a country. Isn't this very similar to Your Majesty today? Also, Emperor Taizu Gao played in the world without any details. Isn't he the same as Your Majesty today? But the successor selected by Emperor Taizu Gao is very different from him. Prince Zhu Biao is a kind person by nature and is very friendly to his brothers. King Qin Zhu Feng, King Zhou Zhu Xiu and King Jin Zhu Jian had many faults, and Zhu Biao transferred it to him.

Protecting and pleading for mercy, keeping them from punishment, and being highly prestigious among the kings. At the same time, Prince Zhu Biao was gentle and elegant. He was born in peace, but he was not a playboy, loyal and honest, able to learn from his heart, and was very respectful to his ministers and teachers. Emperor Gao of Taizu made the ten-year-old Zhu Biao the crown prince when he was appointed Queen Wu. When Zhu Biao died of illness and had his twenty-seven years of successor life, Taizu never thought of changing people. Doesn’t this mean that Prince Zhu Biao’s behavior is very clever? This is exactly where His Highness the Crown Prince wants to learn!”

Zhu Hai blushed when Qian Yiai said this. He knew very well what his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang looked like.

Zhu Chongba had to be a monk at that time, and his background was even lower than Zhu Hongsan now. Zhu Hongsan could have a family, at least he had no problem with food and clothing. Zhu Chongba had completely eaten without a meal. Zhu Chongba had a background like this, and he could imagine that irritability, irritability, and moodiness were his best portrayal. However, such a cruel and killable emperor chose a gentle gentleman as his successor, which was interesting.

Qian Yiai saw Zhu Hai listened and continued, "Your Highness, Emperor Taizu Gao knew that he could not continue to manage the country like this, and finally he had to return to the road of civil officials' rule. So he chose a successor who was completely different from himself, just to keep the mess he left behind in the future. This can be seen from the arrangements after Prince Zhu Biao's death that Taizu did not set Zhu Di, who was most like him, as the crown prince in order, but appointed Zhu Yunwen, who was very similar to Zhu Biao. Even Zhu Di was the same. After Chengzu's death, he did not set Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Gaochi, who he disliked very much, was the reason."

Zhu Hai frowned and said, "This is exactly what I did! Isn't this pleading for the minister this time a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness!"

"Wrong, Your Highness the Crown Prince is wrong! Your words to win people's hearts are too much. What you need to do is to focus on the emperor, compete for right and wrong, and only be right and wrong, so that the emperor can rest assured!"

Zhu Hai nodded slowly and asked, "I know, Mr. Qian means that I should not speak for Fang Fengnian in the afternoon, but enforce the law impartially. If Fang Fengnian beat Shangguan, he should be punished, but it is not right to use a court stick. Fang Fengnian should be handed over to the Three Laws and the Laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing Zhu Hai figured it out, Qian Yiaixi said: "Yes! Yes! As long as your highness uses his original intention to do things and be a good son and a good brother at the same time, he will definitely be favored by the emperor!"

Qian Yiai is worthy of being a very smart person. It is also a good way to teach Zhu Hai. However, due to the limitations of the times, he still did not see clearly why Zhu Hongsan didn't like Zhu Hai. Although there was the reason why Zhu Hai* spoke for literati, the fundamental reason was the conflict between the power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister. Zhu Hongsan did not want his successor to be held captive by civil officials like the dozen emperors of the former Ming Dynasty. Only by obeying the words of civil officials can he become a saint, such as Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Youzhang. The remaining disobedient monarchs are foolish monarchs, such as Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Hai was satisfied after coming out of Qian Yiai's Shangyuan County Government. Through Qian Yiai's explanation, Zhu Hai finally had a systematic understanding of the prospects.

Zhu Hai went out and got into the carriage. As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he saw the eunuch Li Gan, the manager of the East Palace, and others at the door.

Since Li Gan's unlucky conversation with Qian Yiai, he also knew that he was the only one who was unlucky with Zhu Hai, so he had already repaired his relationship with Zhu Hai a few months ago. In addition to Zhu Hai's deliberate friendship, Li Gan has now become Zhu Hai's confidant.

Seeing that Zhu Hai finally came back, Li Gan hurried forward and said, "My little master, you are finally back. The emperor's order has been sent from the palace, so I will go and pay a visit!"

When Zhu Hai heard that his father was about to see him, his heart trembled. Didn’t he just come out of his father? Did he already know that he had conspired with Qian Yiai?

Zhu Hai was nervous, but did not dare to delay, so he quickly entered the palace to change into the prince's robes, and led by the little eunuch to Wenhua Palace to pay homage to his father.

When Zhu Hongsan saw his son coming in a hurry, he asked with a smile: "Crown Prince, why did you come so long? What did you do just now?"

Zhu Hai was about to make up a reason, but suddenly remembered what Qian Yiai said. He thought about his father and his father had many eyes and ears. He would definitely not be able to hide it from Qian Yiai when he met him. It would be better to tell the truth.

Zhu Hai kowtowed, but had no reason to make up, and said directly: "Go back to my father, I just went to Shangyuan County Government and talked to Qian Yiai!"

Zhu Hongsan didn't raise his head, and his eyes were still looking at the memorial on the desk, and asked casually: "Oh? Go see that guy! What did you all say?"

When Zhu Hai heard his father's question, he gritted his teeth and bowed and said, "Father, I was scolded by my father in the afternoon. I felt very wronged, so I went to Qian Zigao to help me!"

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Zhu Hai to tell the truth, so he raised his head and asked, "What did he say?"

Zhu Hai knelt in front of Zhu Hongsan with a gurgle, kowtowed and said, "Father, son Gao scolded his son, saying that although his son is the crown prince, he is the son of his father. At the critical moment, his son is really unfilial!"

After Zhu Hai finished speaking, he looked up at Zhu Hongsan and found that Zhu Hongsan had no expression. He quickly lowered his head and continued: "Father, I think Fang Fengnian is punished first, but I should not let my father take the blame for a fourth-rank official. I think I just want to hand Fang Fengnian over the third court for handling!"

After Zhu Hai finished speaking, he didn't know if what he said today was right, so he didn't dare to look up and stood up. He could only kneel on the ground and wait for his sentence to fall.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the son, closed the memorial in his hand, and said, "Get up, you don't have a friend like Qian Yiai in vain. In the future, learn more about being a human being, a son, and a king!"
