Just after midnight, I had a midnight snack and came out of the restaurant. The father and son walked around the street again. Zhu Youzhang led Zhu Houwei and walked back with unfulfilled feelings.

The father and son passed by the office of the Sixth Department Service Office, and saw that there was still bright lights, and there was obviously someone working inside. Zhu Houwei felt strange and asked, "Father, what is this place? Why are there still people working here when it's so late?"

Zhu Youzhang waved his hand and said, "Wei'er, this is the Liuke Galleries, and it's all in it, the censors of the court. Just whisper and startle them."

"Father, aren't these people your subjects? Besides, we're just going out for a walk, or in a private visit. Are you still afraid of disturbing them?" Zhu Houwei was very puzzled by this.

"Silly kids, if they were told that we were leaving the palace, the memorials of the censors would fly over like snowflakes the next day. Haha, your father and I would be annoyed by them." Emperor Hongzhi said helplessly.

At this moment, Zhu Houwei felt respect. He admired his father for being strict with himself and lenient with others. He was truly a benevolent king and felt sad for his father's life.

In this feudal era, being an emperor was not free, and the emperor did not do whatever he wanted. He also had to be bound by some norms. The majestic Forbidden City was just a magnificent cage. The prisoner was this emperor, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

After walking far away, Zhu Youzhe saw that he was silent, so he asked why. Zhu Houwei thought about it and said his thoughts in the face of his father's earnest gaze.

When Zhu Youzhang heard Zhu Houwei compare the Forbidden City to a luxurious cage, the emperor was just a prisoner, he couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the moon shadow was shining. A pavilion appeared in front of him. Zhu Youzhang took Zhu Houwei's little hand and walked towards the pavilion. From when, Zhu Houwei had no past resistance in his heart, and naturally handed his hand to his father's hand.

When he entered the pavilion and sat down, Zhu Youzhang continued the topic just now: "Wei'er, I know that you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and know a lot of truths. But this emperor cannot go out casually. There are many negative teaching materials in history. For example, Qin Shihuang and Sui Yang Emperor, they like to go on tours and waste money, which led to the destruction of the country."

Zhu Houwei shook his head and retorted: "Father, I don't agree with your point of view. This is a fallacy summarized by Confucianism. The emperor was imprisoned in the palace and could not manage this country well. Think about it, how could a person who does not understand the actual situation of his country be able to manage this country well?"

After a pause, he continued, "Father, this principle appeared in Confucianism after the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was deeply harmed. Nowadays, Confucianism uses extreme examples such as Qin Shihuang and Sui Yang to prevent the emperor from leaving the palace, which is actually very shameless.

Why didn't they take Emperor Taizong of Tang as an example? Not to mention the distance, what about this dynasty is there, the Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu? These people are recognized as wise rulers. Have you ever seen them imprisoned in the palace?

True wise monarchs are those who have a deep understanding of the sufferings of the people. I have never heard of a person who does not distinguish between grains and does not have diligence in four bodies. This is the case with Emperor Taizong of Tang, and isn’t it the case with Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention that Emperor Hongwu was born in a farmhouse.

Those who say these words are shameless and shameless, trying their best to separate you from your people, and they also call it "Chugong and rule". This is the most shameless place for corrupt scholars. Only in this way can they slowly control this country and control the public opinion right to speak in this country."

Zhu Youzhang heard this argument for the first time and thought it was very fresh, so he guided him and said, "My son is smart, then you can tell me again. If the emperor can leave the palace at will and meet a stubborn master, and run outside if he has something to do or not, wouldn't that be a disturbance to the people? In this way, the country will be in chaos."

Zhu Houwei didn't want to continue this topic, but he stared at his father and saw that he was less than forty years old, but his temples were gray. Looking at the only person in the world who truly cared for him, he worked hard every day to overdraw his body. Zhu Houwei couldn't bear it, he hesitated for a moment, and still told his true thoughts against his will.

"Father, you may not have heard of this sentence. My child wants to tell you that absolute power will lead to absolute corruption, and unsupervised power will of course have problems. This is true for the emperor, and so for civil and military ministers.

People are selfish. Even if this person is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he will have a selfish desire. Managing the country cannot rely on others to manage people. Everyone has desires. This is the case with the emperor, and isn’t the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty like this?

If people manage people, the system is easy to be in vain, which will eventually lead to corruption and degeneration. If people manage people with systems, everyone will be subject to rules and regulations. It is not that there will be no problems in this way, but at least the probability is much less. Moreover, if there is a problem, you can make timely rectification and continue to improve the system.

My father has been working hard for the past few years and has grown a little before he grows old. It can be said that he is working diligently. But no matter how hard his father works or how strong his ability is, he cannot manage this country well, because this method cannot last for a long time and will not work.

Think about it, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty was full of energy? I remember that Emperor Hongwu was busy until late at night every day, but there were many problems in the Ming Dynasty. How could there be few corrupt officials? Why is this happening? Because Emperor Hongwu used the method to control others.

Let’s look at you. Your body cannot be compared with Taizu at all. How much have you aged over the years? It makes your child feel distressed. Let’s put it this way, no matter how powerful a person is, how many nails can he put? This will happen. This is because there are problems in management and system.

Professional things are allowed to be done by professionals and to restrain people with perfect systems. This is the true meaning of governing a country. Running a country is like running a workshop. Technical personnel will ask them to innovate technology, those who manage money will ask them to be responsible for money, and those who do work will ask them to do work.

And you are the big shopkeeper. Your responsibility is to keep the direction of the development of the workshop, focus on the big and let go of the small, and control the supervision force, so that you can save worry and effort. Otherwise, you will be exhausted and will only achieve half the result with twice the effort and will not achieve the expected results. This is the case for managing workshops, and the same is true for managing the country."

When Zhu Youzhang heard his youngest son say such vivid and organized words, he was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking about it. After a while of silence, Zhu Youzhang tried to tell Zhu Houwei about Li Mengyang's impeachment of Zhang Heling's brothers.

Zhu Youzhang asked, "Wei'er, your father knows you are smart, and you also know that your mother is sometimes unreasonable. In the face of this situation, how do you think you will deal with this matter?"

Zhu Houwei thought for a while and said, "Father, this is a typical example of people managing people. If something is true and the person who makes mistakes is not punished, the system will be in vain and others will follow suit.

In the future, the powerful will take these two people as examples, become more arrogant and have no bottom line when doing things. In the end, the upward and downward effect will become a trend. How can such a country be governed well? Doing things according to law and governing the country according to law is the correct way to manage the country.

From another perspective, you are harming them. If you don’t want them to lose their children and grandchildren in the future, you can continue to indulge them. After all, you can’t take care of the Zhang family for the rest of your life. As the saying goes, whatever causes you plant will bring about what you will get.

Maybe the Zhang family generation can continue to be proud because of your protection. But in the future, it will eventually be repaid to their descendants.

In history, there have been more such things. The temporary wealth and domineeringness are just a dream. Throughout history, many such relatives and families ended up dead and destroyed. I don’t think this is what my mother wants to see.”

After a while of silence, Zhu Youzhang nodded and said, "It's reasonable! My son is indeed wise and has seen through the essence of things. However, in the future, you will only tell your father that you should not listen to them, otherwise you will cause trouble."

"Father, my son understand." Zhu Houwei nodded.

"Wei'er, remember today that your father knows that you have had an adventure, and maybe you have an extraordinary origin. Some people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos and try their best to spread those rumors. Don't take it to your heart. In the heart of your father, you, Zhu Houwei, are my son, not a monster, and will always be the good son of your father.

Wei'er, I have done badly over the years and have not cared about you well. I have suffered you, my child! You don't have to pretend to be stupid in front of my father in the future, let go of your heart and live a good life.

The father understands the pain in your heart. Your father is also a veteran. He was also very scared, very helpless, and could not see the future. His father doesn't want you to live in panic all day long. Believe me, your father understands you."

Zhu Youzhang can indeed understand the pain in Zhu Houwei's heart. His own mother Ji family was just a small female history (name of a female official) in the palace. She was originally a Yao nationality girl from He County, Guangxi. After the Yao people failed to rebellion in the first year of Chenghua, she brought thousands of captured young men and women to the capital.

Because Ji was very beautiful and smart, he learned Chinese within a few years after entering the palace, so he was ordered to manage the collection of books in the palace. In the autumn of the sixth year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong accidentally came to the study and saw Ji as beautiful as a flower and jade, and he was in line with the order. So he was happy and happy, so he became pregnant.

Ji was pregnant with Zhu Youzhe and violated the taboo of Concubine Wan, who was favored by Emperor Xianzong. This woman could not have children herself, and was not allowed to pass on the family line for the emperor, and specifically harmed the concubines and palace maids who were lucky enough to be visited by Emperor Xianzong.

When Ji was pregnant, Concubine Wan had noticed her. Other palace maids lied that she was sick, so she was demoted to Anletang. Looking at Zhu Youzhang, Ji was cruel and handed over to the sect prison Zhang Min, asking him to drown him.

Zhang Min was kind-hearted. When he thought that the emperor had no son, he secretly raised Zhu Youzhang with Concubine Wan. The deposed queen Wu happened to be demoted to the West Palace and was adjacent to Anletang. He heard about it and paid for it, thus saving his life.

Gradually, Zhu Youzhe grew up to six years old. In the spring of the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475), he finally walked out of Anle Hall. One day, Emperor Xianzong summoned Zhang Min to comb his hair and sighed to the mirror: "I am about to come, and I have no children yet!"

Zhang Min told him about Zhu Youzhang. Xianzong was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to bring him over. When Zhu Youzhang went to see his father, his fetal hair had not been cut off and it was hanging straight to the back of his neck. Seeing Xianzong, he threw himself into Xianzong's arms according to his mother's instructions and shouted "Dad".

Xianzong took a long time to take a look, and was filled with joy and joy, and said repeatedly: "This child is like me, he is really my son!"

He immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites to be named and appointed Ji as Concubine Shu. Concubine Ji could not escape the misfortune and soon died suddenly in Yongshou Palace in his new residence.

Some people say that Concubine Ji's death was poisoned by Concubine Wan, while others say that she sent someone to strangle him to death. Because Xianzong did not investigate further, the matter was left in the end.

The death of his mother made Zhu Youting extremely sad, and his expression was like an adult, which lasted for a long time. In November of that year, Zhu Youting was appointed as the crown prince and then ascended the throne, which was Xiaozong.

...

When Zhu Houwei heard his father suddenly reveal his feelings to him, he was stunned at first, then his eyes turned red and tears flowed out involuntarily. It has been almost ten years! He has been suffering from unknown loneliness. He is afraid that others will know his origin. He lives in fear and anxiety every day. What is even more difficult is the loneliness of the soul.

Even though he lived at such an old age in his previous life and experienced countless ups and downs, he could not stand this suffocating loneliness. To be honest, this loneliness is more painful than being in jail. It is really painful!

He is out of place with this world, he can only close his heart like a claustrophobia. No matter how strong you are or a tough guy, you will always be fragile.

It is said that men don’t cry easily, but that’s just not sad. Zhu Houwei was moved by his father’s understanding and tolerance. Loneliness and grievance made his tears vent like a flood that broke through the dam, and he couldn’t bear it.

Zhu Youzhang hugged the youngest son who was sobbing softly, and he was also full of tears. He choked and said, "Cry, cry! It may be better to cry. Over the years, Dad knows that he has wronged you! Don't hate your mother. She is a woman. If she is a woman, she will be afraid of being a woman. You have to understand her and forgive her.

After all, she is your mother. I believe she still loves you, but I am afraid of being close to you. Daddy doesn’t care about these things, no matter who you were, even if the demon is reincarnated, Daddy doesn’t care.

You don’t need to explain your origin to anyone, and my dad doesn’t want to know. From now on, you no longer need to hide your intelligence and live in the sunshine.

You must always remember that you are my son, my own son of Zhu Youzhang. I will not allow anyone to hurt you! No one can hurt my son. Remember?"

"Well, my boy remember, Father!"

Zhu Houwei was crying like rain and had already cried. Although he was not an orphan in his previous life, his parents died early. When he was a teenager, he took on the burden of the family and raised his younger brothers and sisters. He had never experienced this mountain of fatherly love in his previous life, which is a kind of regret.

Today, Zhu Wei felt the long-lost fatherly love for the first time, heavy and far-reaching. How could he not touch him? From this moment on, he truly regarded himself as Zhu Houwei, and Zhu Youzhi was his father.

At this moment, he was so deeply attached to this fatherly love. This not strong body gave him an extremely warm and safe embrace. Zhu Houwei vented his tears that had been suppressed for nearly ten years in his arms...

Under the moonlight, it looks extremely bright tonight. The moonlight shines on the trees, and the trees turn silver; when the grass turns silver; when the ground turns silver, the whole world becomes pure and flawless, and looks particularly holy.

The world is shrouded by the silver moonlight. The warm moment between the father and son is also shrouded by the flawless moonlight. It is quiet and distant, and the world becomes more and more hazy.

...

The next day, Zhu Houwei woke up very early. He found that he had returned to his bed, covered his blanket, and hung a mosquito net. All of this seemed so beautiful, but unfortunately he didn't remember what happened later.

After all, this body is less than ten years old. Last night's play and emotional catharsis made him very tired. While crying, he fell asleep unconsciously. In his father's eyes, he was like a real child at that time.

Looking back on the scenes last night, Zhu Houwei's heart was both sweet and bitter. Thinking about the 18th year of Hongzhi, the kindest emperor in history would pass away. He really couldn't bear to see the father he loved deeply now.

Perhaps quitting the Pearl Pill will make the father live a longer life, but this is far from enough. Zhu Houwei really can't bear to let such a good person leave his family that he is attached to too early, not for himself, but for the sake of Zhu Houzhao, the world's number one playboy, he should do something...

When he woke up early in the morning, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzang yawned all over the sky, as if he had stayed up all night. No wonder, he came back too late last night and stayed in the Qianqing Palace. Unfortunately, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He couldn't sleep for a while until the second half of the night.

As soon as he finished washing up, he heard the eldest son come in with Wang Yu to report that the second prince was asking for a meeting. Zhu Youzhang felt a little strange. It was just dawn that day, why did the child come? Did something happen? Thinking of this, he quickly asked someone to bring him in.

Zhu Houwei knelt down and kowtowed in a regular manner, saying, "My son bowed to my father, good morning, father!"

Zhu Youzhang quickly helped Zhu Houwei up and complained: "Wei'er, I slept late last night, why didn't I sleep a little longer? You're just growing up now, so you can't stay up like your father. Is there anything wrong with you coming here so early?"

"Report to my father, my child is indeed in trouble. I hope my father will agree to my son's request." Zhu Houwei answered properly.

Zhu Youzhang was very happy to hear that his youngest son had something to ask for. The child had never made any requests since he was a child and was not like a child.

He asked quickly, "Wei'er, even if you say that as long as you can do it for your father, I will promise you."

"Thank you, my father. I have a set of boxing techniques called Tai Chi. My father begs me to learn this set of boxing techniques from me. I will have to practice for half an hour every morning. My father's words and words are not allowed to go back on his word."

"Wei'er, but my father is weak and I'm afraid he can't learn any boxing techniques. Is there anything different about this boxing technique?"

"Father, this set of boxing is very suitable for people with weak bodies to improve their physical fitness. As long as you persist in practicing for a long time, you can prolong your life, remove dampness and eliminate diseases, and enhance your physical fitness."

"Oh! There is such boxing technique. So, today I will study hard with you."

"Thank you, Father! I will practice it for you first, and pay attention to my formula."

Zhu Houwei made a Tai Chi starting hand gesture, then slowly started practicing, and then recited the tip of the mouth: "Practice boxing and body training muscles and tendons, practice qi and nature and practice the mind. The mind is thinking and the mind is the command, and when the force is the result, the mind is the cause.

The taboos of fist when you are anxious and palpitations, calm your mind and make your strength come true. Practice boxing with your heart and understand the strength, and you will have a deep effect in your mind.

If you wave to the hand, you are not afraid of having little power, but you are afraid of being dizzy in half a second when you encounter strength. You are also a minister who hits the punch thousands of times, and the king of the temper, heart and nature.

The world changes and the way remains unchanged, and everything has its roots. You are jealous and cruel to seek the ultimate skill, and be calm and calm to get the truth.

Practicing until the heart is dead is the Buddha realm, and he is weak in hatred and does not seek gratitude. He can forget himself whenever he is a big deal and put his heart down with him."

Soon Zhu Houwei finished practicing a set of introductory Tai Chi. After reading it, Zhu Youzhang nodded repeatedly and smiled: "Myer's boxing style is indeed very Zen, and it is indeed extraordinary. Is it just this slow speed?"

"Yes, this set of boxing is practiced in this way. There are six sets in total. Please practice with me."

Perhaps because he was deeply influenced by eunuchs when he was young, Zhu Youzhe actually had one of the biggest problems, that is, he was keen on fasting, worship and practice. He was superstitious about gods and Buddhas, and his son was resurrected in front of him, which deepened this point even more.

In his mind, the boxing skills that Zhu Houwei taught him must be good, and this boxing style seems to have a bit of Zen, which makes him like it and study it very seriously.

After practicing for half an hour, even though he was not very skilled, perhaps with psychological factors, Zhu Youzhang felt very refreshed. He couldn't help but praise: "Tai Chi is indeed extraordinary, this is the magical boxing technique."

Zhu Houwei was both angry and funny. He knew the gods, Buddhas and Buddhas that his father thought of, but he didn't reveal them. As long as he practiced diligently, he could do so. In order to prevent his father from taking any pills again, Zhu Houwei deliberately pretended to be very serious:

"Father, this Tai Chi must be practiced every day. There are five sets of boxing techniques in total. The father needs to learn them step by step. Don't take any elixirs. There is no immortal elixir in the world, only poisons that kill people. Remember!"

"Well, Wei'er, my father listens to you, and I must practice hard. Okay, let's get here today. My father is going to work."

"My son is leaving."

Zhu Houwei was in a very happy mood when he walked out of the Ganqing Palace. With Zhu Youting's perseverance, he would definitely persevere. In this way, this kind emperor could live a few more years and the Ming Dynasty would be less turbulent.

Thinking of these thoughts in his mind, he did not notice that he had arrived near the Prince's East Palace. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out in the forest beside the road, which scared him, took a few steps back and put on a defensive posture.
Chapter completed!
