One thousand five hundred and sixty-eight chapters: the lion's mouth
Obviously, this happened too suddenly, Ye Chunqiu seemed to be unable to react, and only widened his eyes, but Tang Bohu said again: "Mr., now the court and the country are in full swing, and all the yamen are in a hurry. Your Majesty... Your Majesty is crazy."
Ye Chunqiu seemed to have finally come back to his senses, but was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Why does Your Majesty do such a thing?"
Tang Bohu said: "It was said that the family of Guangping Hou's family went to the palace to seek justice. His Majesty was furious and summoned the commander of Naros to seek punishment. Later, somehow, His Majesty was so angry that he said he wanted to challenge the strong man in person."
Many times, many of Zhu Houzhao's behaviors can be described as common sense.
He has many advantages, uh... When Ye Chunqiu thought of the advantages, he always felt that there were some, but after careful consideration, he found that it seemed difficult to find it for a while. Okay, let's not care about this for now.
But... his shortcomings are obvious. The biggest disadvantage is that they are impulsive and irritable, and this is obviously not a quality that an emperor should have.
Since ancient times, it is natural that a son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall.
Now that it's like this, what's going on?
If it is a normal day, it is understandable that it is more impulsive, but this time, I don’t think much about it and know that with Zhu Houzhao’s ability, how could he be the opponent of the strongman?
This is...death!
Continue to think deeper, this matter is not only Zhu Houzhao's personal safety issue, but also because Zhu Houzhao's impulse obviously made the court passive.
With the court's previous attitude towards affairs, at this time, the court must have hoped to reconcile privately with the Ross people, so that the strong man obediently admits defeat to protect Zhu Houzhao's safety and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. But there is no surrender for no reason in this world...
How much benefit does it take to make the strong man admit defeat?
Ye Chunqiu was wandering, but it was at this time that a servant brought the eunuch from the palace to come here and paid a visit to Ye Chunqiu and said, "Mr. Master, the Empress Dowager, please invite me."
Ye Chunqiu knew that the Empress Dowager should have known about this matter, and now she was obviously trying to discuss it with her.
Ye Chunqiu was also anxious and did not neglect. He rushed into the palace quickly, and was too lazy to say hello to Zhu Houzhao's funny guy, so he went straight to Renshou Palace.
There are already a gathering of Renshou Palace, and several cabinet masters, the two brothers of the Zhang family, and several dukes have all arrived.
When Ye Chunqiu went in, he saw so many people, and he didn't find it strange, but just nodded to them.
I saw Empress Dowager Zhang sitting high in the head, with frost on her face.
The Empress Dowager's reaction was normal. When she learned that her son was so erratic, he was the emperor, but he just let him go. Now she actually played such a trick, which was no different from using his own life to play with fire. This really prevented others from living well.
Everyone looked at each other and their moods were different. Ye Chunqiu clearly felt that whether it was Li Dongyang, his own Taishan Lord Wang Hua, or even Xie Qian and others, they all had deep fatigue and helplessness on their faces.
In a sense, they regard themselves as the humerus of the court, whether they are loyal or treacherous, and they always follow the rules and do their own duties.
But the emperor really doesn't look like a king.
I guess just now, everyone had scolded everyone, but Ye Chunqiu saluted the Queen Mother, but he was thinking about how to answer.
Your Majesty is "silly", others can scold him, but Ye Chunqiu cannot scold him. After all, without this "silly" emperor, how could he have his own today?
If it were other emperors, Ye Chunqiu would have known that he had died hundreds of times. This emotion had actually surpassed the ordinary relationship between a monarch and a minister.
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Chunqiu, have you heard of the matter?"
Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "My son has heard of it."
Empress Dowager Zhang said with a sad face: "The Ai family invites you to come here just to ask you to make an idea. This is a big deal. The Ai family... is really tired."
Although he did not speak ill of bad words, this word "tired" accurately revealed the situation of Empress Dowager Zhang and the bitterness of having such an uneasy son for a long time.
Yes, I am very caring but helpless. I believe that Empress Dowager Zhang is exhausted from love and hate.
Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son. This is a gratifying thing. The people of Ross have bad intentions and set up a stage to fight bravely, provoke the soldiers and civilians, and beat the people. Although there is no great evil, they are definitely not good people. Now they have killed the Marquis of Guangping. Your Majesty provoked Gao Lishi. He must have intended to be willing to sacrifice himself and protect the soldiers and civilians. His Majesty's indignation can be empathized with His Majesty's love for the people, and his heart is deep in his heart."
Damn...
Everyone looked at Ye Chunqiu incredible, and you can say it out loud.
Is this how I love the people? Is this to protect the military and the people?
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but think in his heart that most of the people here want to kill him, but he couldn't help but sigh, "The times are different. If this kind of thing is in the future, I don't know how many people applaud, but in this era, it's not the case."
But what is there? Didn’t you say it? Zhu Ye is one, essentially, His Majesty and He share the same woe with him. In private, Ye Chunqiu could certainly scold Zhu Houzhao for being funny with a stern face, but when he came to outsiders, he had to take care of Zhu Houzhao’s face.
Empress Dowager Zhang only pursed her lips, but didn't say anything about it. She only sighed in her heart and said, "It's over, and it's useless to say this. Ai family asked you, how should you deal with this matter? What are you good ways?"
Ye Chunqiu asked back, "I wonder what great ideas do you have just now?"
Li Dongyang said with a cold face: "I have met with the envoy of the State of Ross in private. The envoy of the State of the State has made it clear that if the Ming Dynasty gave him three thousand rifles, hundreds of cannons, 300,000 ammunition, and 5,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver, the strong man will beg for mercy and will never compete with His Majesty."
Ye Chunqiu thought to himself that the Ross people were really a lion. Fortunately, they thought that if we were to judge the market price, the rewards alone would be millions of silver. In fact, there were not many millions of silver. However, these things were enough to allow the Ross people to sweep across China and Europe in the next few years. Moreover, these things might not be possible to see imitations. These imitations may not be as good as the firearms of the Zhenguo Mansion, but they can also increase the level of war in Europe by a higher level.
