As for why it is said to be given a question, the reason is that the emperor asked, "Who dares to say that you are far inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang?" The answer is naturally the only way to flatter you.

Everyone likes to listen to flattery, but everyone hates flattery.

And if the emperor can ask such a question, he may not be self-aware. Once he chooses to open his eyes and tells lies, he will be suspected of flattering the emperor.

It's too fake, and you'll be disgusted by the emperor.

I dare not tell the truth, I cannot tell the lies, and the ministers in the court looked at me. What is this not a proposition?

After seeing this scene, Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, looked at the cabinet minister Ma Yu, and both sides knew it immediately.

It seems that the post of the memorial letter that was presented has worked. The little emperor is in a rebellious period. This son "denied" the achievements of the three expeditions of Mongolia in the Northwest War, and "questioned" the effects of the two expeditions of Luchuan in the Southwest War.

It would be fine if you make a big fuss once, but it would be a pity to explain the policy on the second time you dare to expound the policy on the post. It would be like a death sentence!

Even if Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong is here, it cannot win back Shen Yichen's impression in the emperor's mind. This proposition is the best proof.

The audience was silent, and Qian Xili and Wang Ying both showed a look of worry on their faces. However, due to the occasion of the imperial court and the dignity of the emperor, they could not help Chen Yichen answer the question, nor could they answer this question.

I can only say that being with the king is like a tiger, Chen Yichen is still too young and has not realized what the majesty of the emperor is!

At this time, Chen Yichen's mind was running wildly, thinking about how to give the most appropriate answer. In fact, this question was not raised by Zhu Qizhen alone. As early as hundreds of years ago, Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, had never asked the ministers.

At that time, a minister named Li Fang replied in a poem: "Three thousand resentful women were released from the palace, and four hundred death row prisoners came to prison."

This poem quotes an allusion, that is, on the eve of the Spring Festival, Emperor Taizong of Tang summoned the death row prisoners detained in the capital and agreed with them that if they could consciously return to prison and serve their sentences in the autumn of the following year, they would be able to let them go home and spend the Spring Festival with their relatives now.

As a result, by the autumn of the following year, hundreds of prisoners voluntarily threw themselves into prison, and no one fled. In order to commend the integrity of these dead prisoners, Emperor Taizong of Tang issued an edict to pardon their guilt.

The allusion itself is to promote the virtues of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Even death row prisoners can be convinced and influenced. Which emperor in later generations can be such a "internal saint"?

After hearing this poem, Zhao Guangyi also understood that he was far inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Li Fang could use poems to suggest, but Chen Yichen understood that he could not do this. Because he already knew that Zhu Qizhen's cold eyes that he felt before were not only disgusted with the imperial lecture, but also dissatisfaction with himself.

In this state, he dares to point out bluntly that he is not as good as Emperor Taizong of Tang, and he is definitely seeking death!

"Chen Qing family, is this question so difficult to answer for you?"

Zhu Qizhen even had a hint of "sorrow" in his tone. He appointed Chen Yichen's three-yuan pass, and regarded him as his future loyal minister, hoping that the king and his ministers could get along with each other to create a peaceful and prosperous era!

But he never expected Chen Yichen to disappoint him. This son never truly recognized his civil and military achievements, and repeatedly advised Mongolia and Luchuan to threaten him.

If mere Tartars and barbarians could still threaten the Ming Dynasty, where would they put the fruits of their several battles?

Today's question is Zhu Qizhen wants to know what Chen Yichen really thinks.

Do you think you are as wise and powerful as Emperor Taizong of Tang, or do you have no way to govern the country?

"Report to Your Majesty, although Taizong is talented and civil and military, he is indebted to filial piety and brotherhood. Moreover, Taizong is good at being pretentious and not as generous as Your Majesty and kind to his ministers and workers."

It has to be said that the suggestion of the temple chief Xu Jiang some time ago indirectly solved Chen Yichen's current crisis.

From the perspective of the emperor, it is completely incomparable to Li Shimin and Zhu Qizhen. Even though Zhu Qizhen has not yet changed his temperament, his ten years of civil and military achievements are still far behind Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Since we cannot compare ourselves with the emperor's perspective, we can only find highlights in our personal identities.

Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father to be known to everyone. From the perspective of later generations, he naturally didn't feel that he could do so. There was a capable person in the position of emperor. However, in the ancient environment where loyalty and filial piety ruled the world, it was a stain that could not be avoided. Zhu Qizhen was better than him.

The word "being good and pretentious" was an evaluation given by ministers when Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, discussed Emperor Taizong of Tang with his ministers, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute it.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, had a golden rule in the Ming Dynasty, and was absolutely politically correct and irrefutable. Chen Yichen used it without any problem.

The two points of being generous and caring about people and being polite to the ministers are indeed Chen Yichen's summary of Zhu Qizhen's human feelings in "The Records" and "The Sermon on the Sermon".

After he ascended the throne, he released more than 3,800 musicians in Dufangsi, reduced more than 17,000 labor service in the imperial tombs, disbanded more than 4,700 men from Guanglu Temple, etc.

Zhu Qizhen did not slacke in the government's natural disasters and man-made disasters, and did not slacke in government tax cuts and disaster relief. He also constantly eliminated redundant officials and staff, and tried to reduce the expenses of the court, which was not luxurious and wasteful in itself.

Zhu Qizhen can also be regarded as a courtesy when treating his subordinates. It is like even if he hates the imperial lectures extremely, he does not vent his anger on his subordinates.

Especially Zhu Qizhen's feelings towards eunuchs, Chen Yichen felt that they were far beyond the standards of his subordinates, and they could be called the concept of family affection, just like Wang Zhen.

As for the abolition of burial and the release of the moral policies of Jianshu, it is all about the Tianshun Dynasty, so it would be better not to mention it.

It can only be said that many times, people are not simply stereotyped, and they are treated at different time points and stages.

At least Zhu Qizhen is not a cruel and foolish monarch now. The two praises given by Chen Yichen are not too flattering.

There is no flashy praise or false flattery. A simple answer is somewhat beyond Zhu Qizhen's expectations.

At the same time, he also discovered that Chen Yichen had been lowering his head according to the etiquette of Junqian. Now he looked up and looked at him.

There is no panic, no fear, and no so-called pleasing.

Only a kind of indifference, peace, and sincerity remain.

This glance made Zhu Qizhen feel mixed in his heart. Perhaps only those who are uncompromising and charming and dare to speak out against the dragon scale can become a true minister.

True words are indeed unpleasant, but they are beneficial to action.

"Aiqing Chen, I understand your intention."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and he saw the true feelings in Chen Yichen's eyes, which were far more than ten thousand false obedient flatteries.

All the emperor needs is loyalty!

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Yi and Ma Yu's faces changed instantly. What they were looking forward to was to create a gap between the monarch and the emperor. It would be better for Chen Yichen to lose his holy family and would not become an obstacle to supporting his own people from then on.

But judging from the emperor's last sentence, it feels like a relationship between the king and the minister.

You should know that the importance and grace brought by heart-to-heart talk is far beyond ordinary holy relatives and rewards. Wang Zhen is the best example.

The little emperor could even kneel down and cry for the sake of him, and plead with the Empress Dowager, and disobey the Empress Dowager today!

In Hu Yi's opinion, this question is perfect for no one to answer. According to Chen Yichen's previous style, it is definitely developing in terms of subtle meaning, and even praises the emperor with flashy rhetoric.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yichen's way of doing things was simple and touched the emperor's heart.

Hu Yi has gone through five dynasties and he knows that it is definitely not a coincidence that Chen Yichen deeply writes the emperor's heart, it is really not easy!

Wang Zhen, who had been standing on the other side of Zhu Qizhen, had not spoken, looked at Chen Yichen with meaning.

In the past, he just thought Chen Yichen was very smart and capable, and could become his good helper to make achievements and fight against the civil servant group.

But today Chen Yichen let Wang Zhen see the too smart side. It may not be that simple to control him.

After all, no one in this world knows Zhu Qizhen better than Wang Zhen. He is kind to the emperor and sympathetic to his ministers. He is the best interpretation of the emperor's character, especially for those close to the palace.

This son is talented and feels a bit proud of himself.

"Thank you all for your hard work in the imperial lectures. I ordered Guanglu Temple to hold a banquet at Dongshun Gate. Please leave."

The imperial banquet is also one of the procedures of the imperial banquet, and this section of delicacies is extremely rich and can be taken away if you can't finish it.

"I thank you for your kindness."

He learned that he was the British Duke Zhang Fu and led all the ministers to kowtow and thank him, and then prepared to leave.

On the other hand, Chen Yichen also planned to follow the crowd and exit Wenhua Palace.
