To be an emperor, you must be able to read history books. You can know how to be an emperor from the past emperors.
The profession of emperor can be said to be the rarest profession in the world. If you don't do it well, you will be killed.
So for the sake of his own life, Zhu Youde read a lot of history books and summed up some experiences from his ancestors. For example, when you are an emperor, you cannot lose face, and the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.
There is a red line in everything in the world. Once you think you can do whatever you want, the final result will not be very good.
Zhu Youde did not have much ambition to unify the world, and then spend a few days in a state of intoxication, occupying any land wherever there was, and he would be satisfied.
The reason why Lu Shengzhi was dealt with was to protect him. When the minister's line deviated from the emperor's line, even if Zhu Youde didn't care, other ministers who wanted to be in power would take the opportunity to kill Lu Shengzhi.
Political activities are the most advanced human activities. The essence of political activities is the struggle between people, so the game between people is the most advanced.
Lu Shengzhi clearly crossed the line this time.
Deng Yu was very smart. After going through the excitement period, she felt what Zhu Youde was thinking in her husband's heart and was immediately moved.
After all, Zhu Youde let Deng Xing go and preserved Lu Shengzhi's reputation in his later years. His final purpose was to protect her.
No matter how noble a rebel's sister is, she cannot enter the palace, let alone stay with the emperor as an imperial concubine.
It is the best way for Lu Shengzhi and Deng Xing to stay away from Daliang's court.
"Your Majesty is so protective of my concubine..."
When Deng Yu said this, her eyes turned red and she wanted to cry. Zhu Youde said angrily: "Why are you crying? There is nothing to cry about. From now on we are all a family. If I can't protect you, what's the point of being an emperor?"
Zhu Youde smiled and said: "Cooperate more in the future, that posture I told you..."
Deng Yu immediately changed his face and gave Zhu Youde a big roll of his eyes. Why would this man want to use that posture? He was not afraid of embarrassment. He was very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty is a wise king who works diligently on government affairs. How can he do that in broad daylight? He should put state affairs first."
Can't do that?
Then what's the point of being an emperor? The young lady doesn't understand herself at all.
"I don't want to be a wise king. This emperor is reluctant to do so. If this bit of fun is gone, what's the point of living?"
"..."
Deng Yu's face suddenly turned red, feeling that the emperor's thoughts were very dangerous and that he was on the edge of a landslide.
Zhu Youde was lying on the couch like a toad, looking at the young lady, asking him to move himself.
"His Majesty……"
Deng Yu was speechless. She moved her feet and came to Zhu Youde's side: "How about I rub it for you?"
"No, don't you know what I want? I spared Deng Xing. He is your only relative, so you can't do anything about it?"
"Since Your Majesty knows how to do it, why should you embarrass me?"
"That posture is really good, I haven't tried it yet."
"Is Your Majesty a foolish king if you profess prostitution in the daytime?"
"Yes, you are just a fool. Everyone in the world knows that I am lustful!"
What's the point? There's nothing wrong with being a fool.
However, Deng Yu is a serious young lady. Even if she can't let go of Zhu Youde, it's useless to worry.
I tried to use strong strength, but Zhu Youde tragically found that he couldn't beat this young lady.
She only accepts the most traditional postures, nothing more than that.
This is so painful.
But, as long as it is a traditional posture, the young lady will be very cooperative...
It is said that this sacred book contains countless magical knowledge.
You can do it in the garden, on a swing, anywhere. In ancient times, people and thieves knew how to play.

After waiting in Xuzhou for a few days, Liang Zan came to report the work! Only then did Zhu Youde let Deng Yu go.
Xuzhou has been cleaned up by Liang Zan, and all the aristocratic families have been killed. It can be said that they have eradicated the weeds and are extremely vicious.
Zhu Youde appointed Liang Zan as the Governor of Xuzhou, taking charge of the military and political affairs. He also used Liang Zan's viciousness. As for Liang Zan's character, Zhu Youde didn't care at all.
"There are many people who have lost their land in the southeast. Now Wang Po is attacking Xiangyang. There is war in the southeast and the people are fleeing. It just so happens that you can move the people to Xuzhou. The fields of the aristocratic families can be distributed to the people. The government is sending cattle, horses, dogs and sheep. We must make the people rich as soon as possible.
Get up!" Zhu Youde said.
"I think so too. I have calculated that if we follow this plan, we will need thirty million taels of silver."
Liang Zan was a little worried that Zhu Youde would not be able to part with it. The amount was too big and no emperor in the world could afford that much money.
Even if the emperors of various countries are rich, they will expand their armies and prepare for war. Who will care about the life and death of the people?
"This is a really large number. People come all the way from the southeast to eat and drink. When they arrive in Xuzhou, it's already winter and they still need winter supplies. Next year's spring plowing will require more farm tools. If Xuzhou is fertile, it won't be until next autumn that we can reap any benefits."
Zhu Youde calculated, not to mention that Liang Zan still needed to train the army to prepare for the war with Yan State, and the military expenditure was also a huge amount.
"Okay, I won't go through the treasury when I take out this money!" Zhu Youde said: "Isn't it just 30 million? I have money."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"This is not a court, so there is no need to talk nonsense like this. It doesn't matter to me whether you are a saint or not. I will leave the matter to you in the future for Xuzhou. I will lead my army northward soon. The Yan Kingdom lost 30,000 cavalry. What do you think of Zhao Wuji?
Will you be so angry?"
Liang Zan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the entire army of the Yanshan Army was wiped out. I thought that the Northern Yan court knew that there was nothing they could do. I didn't spare any of them. If they admitted to knowing, they would have declared war on me, Daliang. Now it's snowing heavily in the north of Yan State."
, Zhao Wuji is unable to use troops, so I will take this advantage for nothing."
"I feel the same way. I, Liang Guo, won a battle, but Bei Yan will definitely not be reconciled. This time I and Zhao Wuji will meet with Yan Guo for provocation. I plan to pretend to be a grandson, but if I really become a grandson, it will be meaningless.
.”
Seeing what Zhu Youde said was interesting, Liang Zan smiled and said: "Don't worry, your majesty. After your majesty goes north, I will immediately train the new army. If your majesty needs the Xuzhou army, they can go north to meet him immediately!"
"Okay, that's the arrangement!"
A few days later, Zhu Youde led his army northward and finally reached the mouth of the Yellow River after half a month's march.
The army of Yan State has already arrived, but Zhao Wuji's Emperor Luanjia has not yet arrived.
Zhu Youde knew that the other party was showing off and asked himself to wait for him.
Then just wait.
It's not a big deal either.
After setting up camp, he stayed with the army and never went anywhere.
But this made the Yan State extremely vigilant. In the Yan State camp, several generals were sitting together.
"The Emperor of Liang has not left the camp all day, what should he do?"
