Chapter 561

There is no doubt that the strength of Zhu Qizhen's orthodox dynasty was at the end of the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter what, the normal operating procedures of the country were still correct.

In this year's imperial examination of the Orthodox Dynasty, a young scholar named Li Tianhe stood out. His articles and cultivation were among the best.

Zhu Qizhen met Li Tianhe in the imperial study. Seeing his handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, he felt even more happy and asked him about politics.

Li Tianhe asked Zhu Qizhen: "Does your Majesty want to be a wise king or a heroic ruler?"

Zhu Qizhen didn't understand what he meant: "What should a wise ruler do? What should a heroic ruler do?"

Admiring it with all your eyes, it's like seeing a close friend, but you don't know that serious trouble is approaching unknowingly.

Didn’t he have any idea of ​​what the Zhengtong Dynasty was like? How could a truly knowledgeable and capable person fall in love with such a messy and shabby place like his?

Besides, Li Tianhe himself is a thoughtful person.

"A wise king knows people well and is responsible for their duties, is considerate of the people, governs the country with benevolence, and has the king and his ministers working together, just like Emperor Hongxi."

"A heroic ruler has a strategic mind and a clever plan. He expands territory to strengthen the country, and conquers the world to enrich himself. The three emperors Hongwu, Yongle, and Taiwu are the most typical examples."

When Zhu Qizhen heard about his rebellious great-grandson from Li Tianhe, he immediately frowned and said curiously:

"Sir, do you think I can become a wise king or a heroic lord?"

Li Tianhe said calmly: "Your Majesty is the hero."

"A wise king spreads his kindness to the world, but he is powerless and easily bullied."

"There is a folk proverb that says, "A good person will be bullied by others, a good horse will be ridden by others, and rough words will not be rough."

"Although a wise king may be famous for a hundred generations, it is difficult for him to remain in an invincible position."

"In today's world, there are many powerful powers competing for power. Without strength, you have no right to speak. You need to constantly strengthen yourself and scare the world with your majesty in order to protect yourself."

Zhu Qizhen was convinced of this. His great-grandson dared to despise him and trample on his dignity again and again, wasn't he just relying on his strength to be stronger than him?

If you have the strength, you can do whatever you want.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen, who had been ruined for a long time, became very angry. He felt that he could still save something, and solemnly asked Li Tianhe: "I want to become a hero, how can you teach me, sir?"

"But I don't know what kind of hero your Majesty wants to be?"

Li Tianhe asked Zhu Qizhen a seemingly unrelated question.

Zhu Qizhen thought Li Tianhe was testing his determination, so he immediately said impassionedly:

"A real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time under human beings?"

"Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there are many who look down on me and treat me like dirt. I should stand up and let everyone look away because of me."

"I want to surpass all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and avenge my previous humiliation."

Zhu Qizhen, who felt that he was doing well again, really dared to say anything. He really thought that Li Tianhe could help him regroup and become a hero of that generation.

In the near future, he will lose his life because of what he said today.

The slogan was shouted very loudly, and it seemed that he had the ambition of Lu Bu. I wonder who can tolerate him.

“I admire His Majesty’s ambition so much!”

Li Tianhe said something so contrary to his will that Zhu Qi was speechless.

Just fool him with a few random words, and he will really fall for it. He has no self-awareness at all and has no idea what kind of person he is.

No wonder my true self looks down upon Zhu Qizhen, this guy is really stupid.

Suppressing the disdain and ridicule in his heart, Li Tianhe pretended to be serious and said:

"Your Majesty, if you want to be a powerful leader, the first thing you need to do is to straighten out the government situation so that everyone is united and there are no obstacles."

"Secondly, we need to strengthen our country's high-end military force. In a time of great strife, strength is the most important thing. It is absolutely impossible not to have strong enough military force."

Zhu Qizhen also felt that it was reasonable and said softly: "How should we rectify the situation of the DPRK? How should we strengthen the military force of our DPRK?"

Li Tianhe smiled and said: "Rectifying the government situation is difficult to say and easy to say. It is nothing more than killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."

"Prince Taishi Shi Hengping has always been domineering and rampant. He cultivates party members wantonly. Killing them will definitely deter the imperial court!"

Although Shi Heng was domineering, he was also one of the few generals in the Zhengtong Dynasty who could fight. If Shi Heng were gone, the Zhengtong Dynasty would almost collapse in half.

Although Zhu Qizhen was stupid, he was obviously not stupider than a pig. When Li Tianhe asked him to kill Shi Heng, he immediately hesitated:

"Shi Heng is my humerus. Kill him to avoid chaos!"

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to kill Shi Heng. The Zhengtong Dynasty was originally the last one in the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. If Shi Heng was killed again, the Zhengtong Dynasty would be truly the last one.

But he couldn't stand the fact that Li Tianhe had ulterior motives beside him. He just listened to Li Tianhe's light words and immediately made up his mind.

"Shi Heng's rampant and domineering behavior has aroused public anger among the people. The people are complaining, and civil and military officials are also complaining about him. If he is not killed, it will be difficult to quell the public anger."

Public anger is hard to offend, and Zhu Qizhen was also afraid that his subordinates would cause trouble, so he agreed to Li Tianhe's suggestion:

"My trust in him is in vain, but he is so dissatisfied. Shi Heng, I really misjudged him."

In Zhu Qizhen's eyes, if Shi Heng dies, the situation will be stable. Such a deal is worth it!

But he never thought about whether what Li Tianhe said was true or false, so he believed Li Tianhe without any proof.

Li Tianhe's voice seemed to contain some kind of magic power, making Zhu Qizhen believe in his words and suggestions.

A mocking smile appeared on Li Tianhe's lips. After Shi Heng's death, it was soon the turn of Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and other Zhu Qizhen's confidants.

Once Zhu Qizhen was completely under control, the next operation was not up to Zhu Qizhen, and everything was clearly arranged for him.

But then again, "all living beings are united" is really useful, but it's a pity that he didn't get the essence, otherwise he would have directly turned Zhu Qizhen into a crazy fan, so that Zhengtong Chao could do whatever he wanted.

"Eradicating the serious problem of Shi Heng and restructuring the DPRK's political platform are often only the first step. How to strengthen our DPRK's high-end military force is the key."

Li Tianhe said solemnly, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, and he felt bad in his stomach. He gave Zhu Qizhen a big gift, making him completely the target of public criticism.

Zhu Qizhen was also very cooperative: "Sir, teach me!"

"To strengthen high-end military force, the first priority is training resources. However, our country's resource supply to all parties is not enough, and there are no extra resources to cultivate strong people."

"Based on this situation, we can only borrow it from outside!"

Zhu Qizhen was confused for a moment: "Where can I borrow it?"

He was already infamous in the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty hated him and looked down upon him. How could they lend him resources?

The most important thing for a person is to have self-awareness. Zhu Qizhen knew his own status no matter how little self-awareness he had.

"Emperor Hongxi is your Majesty's grandfather, Emperor Xuanzong is your majesty's biological father, Emperor Jingtai is your majesty's biological brother, Emperor Chenghua is your majesty's son, Emperor Hongzhi is your majesty's grandson, and Emperor Taiwu is your majesty's great-grandson."

"The relationship between Your Majesty and the emperors is so close that they are inseparable blood ties. If Your Majesty asks for a loan, how can the emperors not refuse to borrow it?"

Li Tianhe said with a surprised look on his face, as if he really didn't know the relationship between Zhu Qizhen and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to acting, why not act more realistically?
