My father is Jiajing

Chapter 268 The Wise Emperor

"Besides this prince, who else in the capital can serve as the chief minister for the capital's expansion?"

Zhu Zaigui's words really woke Hai Rui up from his dream and immediately made his mind active.

Yes, it seems that Prince Yu is not the only one in the capital who serves as the chief official in charge of the expansion of the capital.

Before Prince Yu, Prince Jing was the official chief officer in charge of the expansion of the capital, but because he suddenly fell ill, this task fell on Zhu Zaigui.

After Zhu Zaigui pointed out the truth to Hai Rui, he suddenly became enlightened.

He bowed respectfully to Zhu Zaigui and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance."

Zhu Zaigui chuckled, "Although I have little contact with this brother of mine, he is not someone who is easy to talk to. If you really want to go to Prince Jing's mansion to take advantage of the situation, you must be prepared to be ignored or beaten and scolded."

"But there is a little information that I can reveal to you. This brother of mine is still pure at heart, and sometimes he still has some naive kindness. If you can understand this, you might be able to borrow his power."

In fact, during the two contacts before and after the coming-of-age ceremony, Zhu Zaigui discovered Zhu Zaizhen's personality traits.

Zhu Zaizhen looked down on his brother, but when Zhu Zaigui did something bold, he couldn't help but remind and stop him. This shows that this kid actually has a good heart.

The reason why he is hostile to his brother is most likely because he is influenced by the people around him and cannot correctly view the relationship between brothers.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui naturally would not scheme against such a simple child. After all, in the general trend of history, no matter what happened, his brother would eventually be forced to become a vassal. The big pie that Yan Shifan had painted for him was ultimately nothing more than a pipe dream.

Now that the two of them have the same job, it seems that they are competing with and replacing each other, but Zhu Zaigui doesn't think so.

Zhu Zaigui believed that this might also be an opportunity for him and Zhu Zaizhen to improve their previous brotherly relationship.

That's why Zhu Zaigui pointed out this path to Hai Rui, hoping that Hai Rui could serve as a bridge and shoulder the dual trust between himself and King Jing, so as to do a good job in supervising the expansion of the capital.

As for how Hai Rui gained the trust of King Jing, that was not Zhu Zaigui's business. Zhu Zaigui could not give any advice on this matter. It all depended on Hai Rui's own ability.

So after saying these words to Hai Rui, Zhu Zaigui sent Hai Rui away.

Zhu Zaigui had been working hard in Xishan these days and was very tired, so after sending Hai Rui away, Zhu Zaigui stretched lazily and went to the back house to rest.

"Meng Chong, help me bring the Yongle Encyclopedia. I haven't finished reading it yet."

When Zhu Zaigui went to the back house to rest, he did not forget to read and study. Such a studious spirit even moved Zhu Zaigui himself.

How great it would be if I was so studious before I traveled through time. Maybe the trajectory of my life would be very different, and I would have a fulfilling life and a decent job.

But these things are just thoughts. After experiencing this incredible thing of time travel, coupled with what he has seen and heard over the past two years, Zhu Zaigui has truly felt the importance of reincarnation.

If you don't have a good birth, you may only be able to have enough food and clothing even if you work hard all your life. Sometimes, even maintaining food and clothing is difficult.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui is also very grateful for his current status and enjoyment. Therefore, no matter how things change in the future, Zhu Zaigui will never do things that are useless and just for fun.

After all, my current status and wealth are all gained based on my current identity. If I get carried away and want to create an ideal world where "everyone is equal", that would be absolutely a madman.

After experiencing so many things, Zhu Zaigui had already understood a little bit of this world. In this world, except for life and death, which may be equal, if one forcibly pursues equality in other things, in the end, it may become another kind of unrecognizable unfairness.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui now only believes in relative equality within rules and regulations. As for the so-called "equality for all", Zhu Zaigui will no longer naively believe in it.

Because people are really born different.

Some people are born in Rome, while others are born as mules or horses.

If you try to force the concept of fairness on these inherently unfair things, aren't you going against the grain?
Therefore, Zhu Zaigui's future pursuit is to pursue relative fairness under the premise of ensuring stability, so that everyone has a set of survival rules to follow and maintain corresponding fairness within these rules. This is the best ideal.

Just when Zhu Zaigui returned to the palace and was quietly enjoying his peaceful life.

Emperor Jiajing had also received secret information that Zhu Zaigui had arranged Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi in the Shen Yao Palace.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the secret report that was urgently delivered from the Divine Medicine Palace. He laughed and said to Huang Jin who was serving beside him: "Look, this is San'er's method. He is very organized. He arranged the Divine Medicine Palace very clearly in just a few words. He also has a very good grasp of the importance of things. Especially his idea of ​​patenting is really brilliant. It seems that he gave up the profit, but in fact he got a great advantage. He has really grown up!"

"It seems that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng have taught San'er a lot of real skills. Let's find a reason to reward them with something so that they can continue to teach San'er with all their heart and soul."

Huang Jin listened to the words of Emperor Jiajing with a smile on her face, "I obey your order."

Huang Jin then also said with emotion: "Prince Yu is really smart, just like the Emperor when he was a child. I originally thought that the affairs of the Divine Medicine Palace might embarrass Prince Yu for a while, but I didn't expect that he would arrange things clearly as soon as he arrived at the Divine Medicine Palace. I feel ashamed of myself."

When Emperor Jiajing heard Huang Jin's words, he immediately laughed again. He felt that Huang Jin's words were so true. He also came to the capital from Anlu when he was fifteen years old. He faced Yang Tinghe and other old ministers who considered themselves elders and fought with them. In the end, he successfully entered the Forbidden City as the heir emperor, laying the foundation for his supreme authority in the future.

Otherwise, if Yang Tinghe and his gang tricked him into entering the capital as the "Crown Prince", he would be manipulated by others. Not only would there be a danger of power shifting, but he might also be deposed without knowing why and become the second Liu He.

But how could Emperor Jiajing, who had been smart and wise since childhood, be easily controlled by Yang Tinghe and others?
For Emperor Jiajing at that time, he inherited the throne not because of the will of Emperor Wuzong, nor because he recognized his father, but according to the "Imperial Ming Ancestor Instructions" promulgated by Emperor Taizu, he succeeded to the throne according to the rule of brother-to-brother succession, so no one could trick him.
