Chapter 912 A good emperor
Become an emperor?
The Nine Five Supremes dominate the world. Many people will even think of the Three Palaces, Six Courtyards, Seventy-Two Concubines. It can be said that having the supreme imperial power is everyone's dream.
The emperor, "the emperor is the lord of creatures and the lord of prosperity", "because of his reproduction, he is called the emperor." "The emperor is the superior and the emperor is the inferior." The "emperor" mentioned by the ancients means heaven and earth, and the word "emperor" tells people that heaven and earth are the lords of all things.
After Emperor Qin Shihuang unified China, he believed that he had "virtue and three emperors, but his merit was greater than the five emperors". He combined the two highest titles of "emperor" and "emperor" as his own title, and since then the emperor was called emperor.
Zhu Cilang is the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. It can be said that it will be a matter of time before he can ascend to the great treasure in the future.
But he never thought it would come so quickly.
First of all, my father, Emperor Chongzhen, was in middle age, and it can be said that he was in his prime in his life. Chongzhen did not have hobbies such as cultivating immortals and refining elixirs or being addicted to beauty. If nothing unexpected happens, it is normal for him to live for another twenty or thirty years.
Zhu Cilang was the fastest and had to be at the age of forty or fifty to ascend the throne. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen, who was in his prime, actually had the idea of abdicating.
Just last year, Emperor Chongzhen was afraid of Zhu Cilang's princeling's great power and was afraid of threatening his imperial rule. At one point, there was a gap between the father and son.
What's wrong now? Suddenly, this emperor of the Nine Five Emperors doesn't want to be the one.
Zhu Cilang looked at Chongzhen in shock: "Father, you, are you joking? Or are you tempting your son's ministers?"
Zhu Cilang's tone was a bit bitter. If it were the latter, it would be really heartbreaking.
Could it be that my father was afraid that he would lead his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty and that his power was too great, so he began to be afraid again. So, he was deliberately testing himself?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "Son of the Emperor, you are my son. This great rule will sooner or later be yours. I just figured it out that what I gave you is not my world. But the eternal foundation left by my ancestors."
Zhu Cilang was shocked all over and looked at Chongzhen with emotion: "Father."
Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "I am not a good emperor, I know this. Don't say it anymore, I know what you want to say. If you want to say it, I am not that unbearable, right?"
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, my father, no matter what, you are my father. You are just too anxious, haste will not be able to achieve. In fact, the same is true for my sons. They all want to push our Ming Dynasty to a prosperous era in one go. But there is no shortcut in the world, and resting and resting requires time. The resting and resting and resting is not the resting and resting of the court, but the resting and resting of the Ming Dynasty."
Chongzhen was very pleased. He smiled and said, "I want to pass the throne with you, but I am actually quite confused. But the conversation between our father and son tonight has made me more and more determined. I am handing over the Ming Dynasty to you, so I can do it with confidence. I will lead the troops to fight against Jiannu this time. With your ability, I will not encounter any difficulties. When you return to victory, I will worship the heaven and earth, visit the ancestors and the ancestors, and officially teach the throne to you. I hope you will live up to the trust of the ancestors and the ancestors and be a wise king!"
Zhu Cilang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he wanted to refuse and wanted to say that you would give up the world. I only like to be a prince, and there is nothing wrong with being a prince. Don't I lead troops to fight and govern the country and pacify the world?
Is it really the same?
When it came to his words, Zhu Cilang still didn't say it. Being a prince is certainly different from being an emperor. The former is trembling as if walking on thin ice, while the latter can let go and unfold his ambitions without any scruples.
For example, the last time I investigated and dealt with a case of private mining of silver mines. If Zhu Cilang was the emperor, there would be no need to go through such a big trouble. There would be no need to instigate Emperor Chongzhen to conduct a private visit. If he is the emperor, he can directly issue a thorough investigation. Increase the amount of money layer by layer to find out the truth.
But he is not an emperor, he is just a prince. The prince has many restrictions, especially in terms of power. The Jinyiwei is slandering himself. On the surface, Luo Yangxing is his subordinate. In fact, the only one who is loyal to him is Emperor Chongzhen.
The same is true for raising materials and supplies to attack the Qing Dynasty this time. If he was the emperor, there was no need to do everything himself. Even if he encountered a wall everywhere, Zhu Cilang had been fouling, enough to get a prince to step down. But without this, he could not raise enough materials and supplies in this short period of time.
If he is the emperor, he only needs one decree. Send a confidant and can be easily completed within a time limit. In the face of imperial power, any force has to bow his head and give way.
This is not something that he, a prince, could do. As Emperor Chongzhen said, Zhu Cilang's burden on his shoulders was not just an emperor who would do whatever he wanted. But the people of the world.
Perhaps Zhu Cilang has a Virgin's constitution, why do you serve the country, the people, and the people of the world? He said so well-sounding, what's the point of being an emperor?
Since you have become an emperor, you should enjoy it, enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas, and enjoy the grace of all the beauties in the world with your arms. These will not delay you being a promising king. After all, the world is so big, it is still more than enough to support you as an emperor.
But these are really not what Zhu Cilang wanted, from traveling to the Ming Dynasty. He had seen countless tragic scenes, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a purgatory on earth.
In other words, Zhu Cixuan has come into contact with too many dark things. These dark things make him suffer endless torture in his heart all the time.
Those skinny and dying refugees, those skinny and hungry babies, those helpless and looking forward to help, those innocent children, and those corpses all over the ground.
Zhu Cilang has seen it thousands of miles away from the naked land, and Zhu Cilang has also seen it. He has experienced it in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and he has also encountered it in the fields of starvation.
These are all evils committed by the court. If he were an emperor, he could completely change this situation.
There is no need to fight with the ministers for a certain government policy. There is no need to persuade Chongzhen and his ministers with a thirsty word for a certain measure to benefit the people. As long as you are the emperor, you can completely implement it with the power of the imperial power.
Those who disobey the imperial power will be killed without mercy!
There is no policy, and he can do whatever he wants than an emperor with concentrated imperial power. If he can really become this emperor, Zhu Cilang is fully confident and can do better than his father, Emperor Chongzhen.
It was because Emperor Chongzhen saw through this that he came up with the idea of abdication. Perhaps Chongzhen could not be a good emperor, but Chongzhen, who had suddenly realized, knew how to cultivate a good emperor.
