Wang Duo felt that Li Zhanshen would not get the effect he should have. He had worked as a lecturer to Zhu Ci and had some understanding of the prince's nature. Zhu Ci was the best among the princes of the late emperor. Before Beijing fell, Emperor Chongzhen thought about letting Zhu Ci come to Nanjing to supervise the country. Unfortunately, the land route from the south was blocked by Li Zicheng at that time, and before he could walk on the sea, Li Zicheng surrounded Beijing.

Wang Duo looked at Zhu Ci with a resolute look on his face. It was only Zhu Ci? Without the will of the emperor, if he could come to Nanjing as soon as possible, it would be the current emperor's turn to ascend to the 9th Five-Year Plan? He would not have been incompatible with the ministers because of the issue of establishing a vassal to make the generals have an opportunity to take advantage of. Everything is fixed and there is no way to control others!

Wang Duo stood up and walked to Zhu Ci, and asked his left and right to help him up. "I once told an allusion that in the former Han Dynasty, there was a rich man in Pei County who was rich enough to rival a country. A son lost his mother at a young age. When the rich man was terminally ill, he was afraid that his relatives would compete for his property. His son would definitely not be able to survive. After thinking hard, he called his clan members to leave a suicide note as evidence and left all his property to a brother, leaving only a sword for his son, saying that when his son was over fifteen years old, do you still remember the ones behind?" This is a story that Wang Duo told Zhu Ci during his lecture.

Zhu Ci? When he saw Wang Duo at first sight, he recognized Wang Duo, but Wang Duo's attitude was heartbreaking. At this time, he heard Wang Duo's words and his eyes trembled. Of course, he remembered the story that he asked his uncle for a sword after his son was fifteen years old, but his uncle did not give it to him, so the rich man's son sued the county magistrate. After hearing about this incident, the county magistrate naturally understood the rich man's good intentions. The relatives were ruthless, short-sighted, and greedy for money. The rich man was worried that they would harm his son. Even if his son got the property at that time, he could not keep the property, so he handed over the property to his clan brother for some benefit. This sword indicated that he wanted to decide on this matter. The rich man guessed that his clan brother would definitely not hand over the sword back to his son, so that the matter would go to the front of the prefecture government. If he met an honest and honest official, he might understand his intention so that the truth could be advanced and the problem would be solved.

Zhu Ci? At this time, when Wang Duo mentioned this story, he could hear the intention behind the story. Wang Duo was making an analogy. The rich man was a metaphor for the late emperor, the clan brother was a metaphor for the imperial uncle, the sword was a metaphor for the country, and the county magistrate was a metaphor for the ministers and generals, and he was the son of the rich man who had no support in the story. The reality did not have a story-like ending. The country had been obtained by the imperial uncle. Ministers who wanted to uphold justice and maintain orthodoxy were arrested and imprisoned. Then it was his turn next!

Wang Duo looked at Zhu Ci's expression and knew that he had thought of the meaning behind the story. Since ancient times, the battle for imperial power has been extremely cruel. The pearl in the crown will not shine without the baptism of blood and fire. The winner will never leave the loser a chance to make a comeback. Just like he treated Gao Hongtu, there was no hatred between the two. On the contrary, the two families still had some kindness, but he would not give Gao Hongtu a chance to survive. This is the hostile rule of the game. I believe that if Gao Hongtu is in power today, he will treat himself like this. This is politics and does not talk about emotions.

I sat in front of the desk to review the memorials. Tian Rong, who was beside me, waved his fan gently. The hot weather at night made sweat quickly appear on his face. I reviewed the last memorial, and it felt like I was completing my homework in later generations, but being an emperor is many times more tiring than being a student.

Seeing that the emperor was tired, Tian Rong quickly put down his fan and gently kneaded the emperor's shoulders. A few minutes later, Tian Rong whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the harem to greet the queen mother!"

I was thinking about tomorrow's affairs. Tomorrow's morning court, I would study how to provide relief to the Huaihe River floods, and also arrange the appointment of some officials. As soon as the Donglin Party collapsed, more than half of the important positions were vacant. How could it be possible to do it? After the morning court, I would have to go to Zijin Mountain for Emperor Chongzhen's tomb. Shi Kefa's funeral would also be re-organized on the mountain. So many things were too big.

Tian Rong's words reminded me of another big man in the harem today. I really hope to have three heads and six arms, or I would split me apart. It is said that being an emperor enjoys happiness, but why do I feel so tired of being an emperor!

After entering the palace, Zou wondered for an afternoon. First of all, the appearance of the palace surprised her. She understood that greed for pleasure is the nature of the emperor today. As the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, he must have the glory of the golden wall of the palace. When he entered the palace, Zou imagined the appearance of the palace, but she was very surprised when he came in. The palace was too broken. The paper in the window was whistled by the wind, and the ground was uneven. Maybe that step would sprain the ankle; the people who entered the palace and the harem must come to visit, which surprised Zou for a long time, because the two concubines in the harem are now the highest-ranking harem, and these two concubines are too young. Zou couldn't help but guess, did the emperor begin to like these? But when she heard that the emperor had not been to the harem for several months and had not favored a concubine, she was completely confused!

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's cry made Zou, who was using supper, quickly put down his chopsticks and correct his demeanor. When it comes to supper, Zou was very depressed. Is the food on the table supposed to be something a queen mother should eat? It's fine if four dishes and one soup, but the clear soup makes people have no appetite at all. It shouldn't have been arranged by the emperor on purpose!

I asked me to kneel down to Zou several times every day, but I couldn't do it. She was not my biological mother, so I came to Zou just bent down to salute, "I wish you my son and my mother!"

Zou took a deep breath, "My son is not a gift..." Then he didn't know what to say. She and Zhu Yousong had a bad relationship, so how could she say so much!

From the corner of my eye, I swept the table and found that the food was similar to mine, but I didn't move much. These days I have no appetite, so the imperial kitchen cooks light food, maybe she can't get used to it! That's right, it would be strange that she used to being able to eat these things every day, "Tian Rong, I told the imperial kitchen to add two dishes to the empress dowager at each meal. As for what dishes to add, please ask what the empress dowager likes to eat." I can't care about food and clothing, but she won't care about it. In the past, these empress dowagers are the most difficult to serve when watching TV series. It makes an exception because of her identity. Who made her a level older than me?

"It's the Emperor's worries, Ai's family..." Zou said as he found that the emperor's eyes were staring at her, which made her heart suddenly tighten. At this time, a plop came from behind him, and the maid Su Qing said directly to the emperor for spare time, which made her confused.

I looked at the maid kneeling on the ground inexplicably. When did my eyes become so powerful? I could scare people like this with just one glance!
