My father is Jiajing

Chapter 338 Emperor Daojun's Fear

"Emperor, I have found the manuscript of The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Huang Jin entered the temple cautiously, holding the manuscript of The Legend of the Condor Heroes in his hand, and presented it to Emperor Jiajing.

When Emperor Jiajing, who was meditating, heard that the manuscript of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was found, his originally pure and pure heart was immediately tainted by the mundane world, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Quickly bring it out for me."

Huang Jin nodded, then handed the manuscript in his hand to Emperor Jiajing.

After Emperor Jiajing took the manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he stopped meditating and changed to a more comfortable position and sat on the jade steps in front of the cushion.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the handwriting on the manuscript of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and frowned, "Who wrote this? We all use the simplified stroke method? How tiring is this to read?"

The "reduced-stroke characters" mentioned by Emperor Jiajing were actually the simplified characters that Zhu Zaigui used before he traveled through time when he was writing his manuscripts for the sake of convenience.

In fact, these simplified characters did not come out of thin air, but were extracted from characters that appeared in copybooks from various dynasties.

So if someone tells you that simplified Chinese characters are not as good as traditional Chinese characters and so on, most of these people are uneducated and think they are lamenting about some cultural loss. In fact, these people are no different from Kong Yiji who has four ways of writing the word "fennel".

Huang Jin listened to Emperor Jiajing's complaints but did not interrupt him. He just continued to stand aside and wait obediently.

After a while, Emperor Jiajing seemed to have noticed something. "Huang Jin, do you think this handwriting looks familiar?"

Huang Jin pretended to be dumb and said, "Really? Let me take a look."

Huang Jin came close to Emperor Jiajing and looked at the manuscript in his hand.

After a while, Huang Jin also said seriously: "Emperor, I also think this handwriting is a little familiar."

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Who do you think this belongs to?"

Huang Jin paused again and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I can't remember it at the moment."

Emperor Jiajing continued to look at the words with a frown. At this time, his mind was no longer on the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" itself, but on who wrote these words?

After a long while, Emperor Jiajing finally remembered. He clapped his thigh and laughed, "Huang Jin, Huang Jin, I remember now. This handwriting seems to be San'er's?"

Huang Jin was surprised and said, "Really? How come I didn't see that? I remember that Prince Yu's handwriting was very elegant and neat, quite like a master's style. But these words are not only written in a sloppy manner, but also have many missing strokes. How can they be the Prince's handwriting?"

Emperor Jiajing said with a proud smile: "Huang Jin, haven't you heard that handwriting reflects a person's character? Even if San'er writes like this, the brushwork and temperament between the lines cannot be changed. Go find a copy of San'er's memorial and compare the brushwork and temperament between these handwritings, and you will understand."

Huang Jin immediately showed an expression of admiration after hearing what Emperor Jiajing said, "Your Majesty is truly a god. He could tell the charm of Prince Yu's handwriting at a glance. I am so ashamed that I cannot even use Prince Yu's pearls and jade."

Emperor Jiajing snorted and laughed, "What kind of pearls and jade is his calligraphy? At most, it is just good-looking. But as my son, he doesn't need to be a master of calligraphy, he just needs to know how to use people and govern them."

"But the way this story was written was indeed beyond my expectations. I originally thought that The Legend of the Condor Heroes was written by someone in his thirties or forties with a certain amount of experience, but I didn't expect it to be written by San'er. It was really unexpected."

Huang Jin was listening to Emperor Jiajing's words on the side, and he said at the right time: "Your Majesty, although Prince Yu is not very old, his experience over the years is extraordinary. It cannot be judged by common sense. Therefore, I think it is not impossible for Prince Yu to really write a wonderful story like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." Emperor Jiajing listened to Huang Jin's words and nodded in approval.

Over the years, his son has indeed given him many surprises.

First it was the Shunyi Industrial Park, and then it was the defense of the Beijing suburbs. If you take any one of these things and say it was accomplished by a teenager, no one would believe it.

But even so, these things were accomplished by Zhu Zaigui alone.

Moreover, after accomplishing his mission, he retired tactfully without showing the slightest bit of arrogance.

This is almost impossible for many people.

But Zhu Zaigui did it.

At that time, Emperor Jiajing also suspected that Zhu Zaigui was pretending to be mature, and he asked Huang Jin to test it several times.

But after testing, Emperor Jiajing had to believe that his son was indeed like that. He was a good son who did not fight or compete and was wholeheartedly working for himself.

Therefore, after that, Emperor Jiajing sometimes couldn't help but wonder whether the reason why Zhu Zaigui had such a big change now was because his other beloved child blessed Zhu Zaigui in the dark after his death.

You should know that the former crown prince Zhu Zaigang of Emperor Jiajing was an extraordinary crown prince who "did not enjoy the hustle and bustle of the world and was like an immortal."

Emperor Jiajing had high hopes for this child and issued an edict to appoint him as regent when he was three years old.

Although this regent was only a nominal one, the fact that Emperor Jiajing allowed a three-year-old child to serve as regent shows how much he loved Zhu Zaigang.

Now that his third son has begun to show the same extraordinary qualities as Prince Zhuangjing, how could he not think the same way?

Emperor Jiajing looked at the manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his hand, his heart full of emotion. He decided that no matter what the final outcome of his immortal cultivation career would be in this life, he would try his best to ensure Zhu Zaigui's safety throughout his life.

Therefore, from now on, if anyone dares to mention the matter of appointing a crown prince, Emperor Jiajing will definitely make the person who proposes it pay the price!
As a devout Taoist, Emperor Jiajing was too afraid of the prophecy that "two dragons cannot meet". If this fatal prophecy came true again on Zhu Zaigui, wouldn't it be the end of his life?
You know, he only has Zhu Zaigui as his only good candidate now. If something happens to this good candidate, wouldn't he be as unlucky as his cousin?

Therefore, no matter what, he had to ensure Zhu Zaigui's absolute safety, let Zhu Zaigui live safely until his ascension, and smoothly inherit the throne.

Only in this way would Emperor Jiajing feel that there was hope.

Otherwise, wouldn't all his decades of hard work be just a waste of time for others, just like his cousin?

"Huang Jin, go to the inner study and find two young eunuchs with good handwriting. Ask them to copy this manuscript carefully. It is very tiring for me to read it like this. Remember to ask them to copy it quickly and send it to me as soon as they are done. I want to finish reading San'er's The Legend of the Condor Heroes as soon as possible."
