Chapter 996 The influence of the emperor seeks the moon
Stealing half a day of leisure.
For Zhu Youlang, it is really rare to have the opportunity to visit West Lake.
As the emperor, what he carries is not only the Zhu family, but also the happiness of the entire country and the people.
The responsibility is not small, and Zhu Youlang often warns himself that he must not be careless or complacent.
Countless wise monarchs in history were wise and powerful at the beginning, and were diligent in their work and loved the people.
But as the days passed for a long time, they began to become arrogant and believed that the so-called prosperous times were created by themselves.
So they began to seek pleasure, and even began to pursue the art of immortality.
This simply pushed the empire into the abyss.
Generally, such emperors will lead to the decline of an empire. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang is the best example.
Looking at his early and late stages alone, you can fully feel that this is just two people.
Zhu Youlang did not want to follow the footsteps of these emperors. He finally dragged the Ming Dynasty back from the mud. When everyone thought that the Ming Dynasty was no longer in power, Zhu Youlang did not give up, so there was a miracle.
So he will bring the Ming Dynasty to the top.
This requires him to treat himself harshly.
Even when he was traveling to West Lake, Zhu Youlang did not just focus on appreciating the beauty, but issued an order to go to Yuqian Temple.
After Yu Qian was wrongly killed by Emperor Yingzong, he was buried beside West Lake.
The people also erected a temple for Yu Qian to commemorate the hero.
Later, Emperor Hongzhi openly rehabilitated Yu Qian, and everyone dared to commemorate Yu Qian in public.
But as the emperor, Zhu Youlang came to worship in person, so he set a precedent.
After all, to be more selfish, Zhu Youlang is from the lineage of Emperor Yingzong.
Acknowledging Yu Qian is equivalent to denying Emperor Yingzong and his ancestors.
But Zhu Youlang doesn't care about these things.
Even Emperor Hongzhi can have this mind, why can't he do it?
The emperor was about to come to Yuqian Temple, and the upper and lower parts were naturally investigated by the Jinyiwei.
Any risks that have a slightest must be resolved as soon as possible.
In case of any mistake or even an assassin appears, they are not able to bear it.
The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army.
If even the emperor cannot protect it, what is the meaning and necessity of the Jinyiwei?
As for the Hu Ben Army, it is more responsible for the defense of the outside of West Lake.
The Jinyiwei and the Hu Ben Army still have a clear distinction between this.
Surrounded by the Insider of No. 1 Middle School, Zhu Youlang finally entered the Yuqian Temple.
The Yuqian Temple is not big, but it is very exquisite.
Yu Qian's character can be seen from all the details.
Although it was built by later generations by Yu Qian, this ancestral hall perfectly conforms to Yu Qian's image.
The captains of the Jinyiwei were lined up and left, and Zhu Youlang walked in the middle with a meteor.
The eunuchs were slightly hunched over and their attitude was very respectful and humble.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"
After a chanting, Zhu Youlang came to the main hall of Yuqian Temple.
"Yu Shaobao, I'm here to see you."
Zhu Youlang respected Qian very much. In his opinion, although Yu Qian was a civil servant, he was not as powerful as other civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. If Yu Qian was compared with a certain historical figure, Zhu Youlang would rather compare him to Yue Fei.
Although Yue Wumu and Yu Qian were born in different eras, their spiritual intrinsic features are actually highly consistent.
Instead, it is all for the court and the country, and putting personal life and death aside.
In their opinion, individuals are just a bag. In their eyes, they only have the people and only the people of the world.
Zhu Youlang took the incense from the eunuch and lit it, and put it into the incense burner.
After that, Zhu Youlang knelt down directly under the cushion.
A group of eunuchs and Jinyiwei knelt down one after another.
They cannot get up until the emperor worships the young security guards end.
Zhu Youlang worshipped him very seriously without any perfunctory treatment.
In his opinion, this is not just a process, but a sincere expression to do everything possible.
After all, everyone in the world is watching, and all the civil servants and military generals are watching.
The upward movement and the lower effect determine how Zhu Youlang performs it.
Zhu Youlang hoped that his ministers could put the interests of the court and the people above their personal interests like Yu Qian.
Of course, he also knew that it was not easy to do this, just do your best.
He doesn't need everyone to sacrifice their lives like Yu Qian. As long as he can reach Yu Qian's five or six points, it is enough.
After the ceremony, Zhu Youlang got up and walked out.
A group of eunuchs and Jinyiwei followed immediately.
After worshiping Yu Qian, Zhu Youlang's next place was Gushan.
The role and status of Gushan in the entire West Lake can be said to be absolutely important.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the emergence of Gushan that the pattern of West Lake has completely different forms.
The lonely mountain is not lonely, and the broken bridges are constantly circulating, which is also a wonder of West Lake.
The humanistic significance of Gushan is higher than that of natural significance.
Countless literati and scholars from all dynasties have visited each other.
Zhu Youlang's arrival this time can be regarded as a signal to the literary world to give scholars, that is, what kind of talents the Ming Dynasty court needed.
No action by the emperor was done easily.
Countless people stare at each other, and even a slight sneeze will be deliberately interpreted.
Therefore, Zhu Youlang always makes a decision carefully and will never be blind.
Gushan is a small island in a lake.
To go to Gushan, you either choose to cross the bridge or take a boat.
Zhu Youlang chose the latter.
Because if you want to take land from Yu Qian Temple to Gushan, you basically have to go around a big circle.
And if you take a boat, the journey will undoubtedly be much shorter.
When the emperor's boat was docked at the pier outside Gushan, the entire ceremonial guard started.
Zhu Youlang jumped off the boat lightly and then walked into the middle of the road.
Step by step along the stone steps, you can see many stone tablets left by the ancestors. There are many famous poems.
Although many traces have been washed away by the years and the wind and rain, the charm can be further savored in the mottled spots.
Gushan not only has mountains, but also academies.
Humanities are the soul of Gushan.
Zhu Youlang decided to go to the academy in person to see the status of the children here.
This decision was made temporarily. The Jinyiwei had to go and make arrangements quickly.
At this moment, the gentlemen in the academy were teaching, and when they saw a team of Jinyiwei rushing in, they were stunned.
When the Jinyiwei told them that the emperor would arrive soon, they could not believe their ears.
What, the emperor is coming?
But they finally accepted this fact because the Jinyiwei surrounded the entire academy and there was almost no open space.
This is definitely not a dream. It seems that the emperor is really coming.
