Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 3: Like a fish entering the sea, a bird flying into the sky, no longer bound!

[Your son, Shi Zhao, respectfully reports this. ]

【To speak the truth is the most important thing in the world, to rectify the way of the ruler, clarify the duties of the ministers, and seek peace and security for all eternity. 】

【The ruler is the master of all the people and all things in the world. As the master of all the people and all things in the world, he has the greatest responsibility. If there is anything wrong with the people's livelihood, he will not be able to fulfill his duties. Therefore, the ruler should be fully prepared and entrust his responsibilities to his ministers and let them speak out. If the ministers speak out, the ruler's way will be fulfilled. Those who used to be only concerned with pleasing others, flattering others and obeying others, which resulted in disasters being isolated and the ruler not hearing about them, are not worth mentioning.】

【.】

【The people of the world speculated about the name of the reign that Your Majesty changed, saying: "Yongjin means that every household will be forever clean and have no money to spend."】

What is public security?

The Memorial on Public Security was a memorial of admonition that Hai Rui submitted to Emperor Jiajing.

When this memorial was submitted, Hai Rui was already preparing for his own funeral.

Because Hai Rui knew too well the strength of this memorial.

After seeing this, Jiajing was just as Hai Rui had expected. He was so angry that he convicted Hai Rui on the spot. Hai Rui's words were so sharp that they were simply heartbreaking.

After all, Hai Rui expressed to you from every angle that what you did was wrong, and he also used reason to explain to the emperor why it was wrong. More importantly, Hai Rui also explained the situation of the people in a practical way. But in the end, Hai Rui also covered up for the emperor a little, saying that Your Majesty is a sage monarch, but it is the villains in power who have deceived your ears.

But the destructive power is explosive for any emperor.

Although Chu Shizhao was not a top student in the history department, every man has his own romance towards history, so he still had some understanding of it.

The moment Chu Shizhao saw the security memorial, he knew it was Hai Rui's security memorial.

Jiajing's superficial skills were already very good, but even Jiajing, who was so skilled in political machinery, could be defeated on the spot by Hai Rui, which shows the power of the public security department.

As a fan of Ming Dynasty 1566.

The main reason why Chu Shizhao chose "Security Memorial" instead of "Two Dragons Do Not Meet" over the other two options is that the former was ultimately trying to deceive the emperor, and the emperor had room for choice.

It's difficult for you to actually get what you want.

But [Public Security] starts at 0 frames, and the minimum goal is Imperial Prison. Once you enter the Imperial Prison, you will have a reputation, and when the rebel army breaks in, they will also give you some face.

This is a tangible benefit, so Chu Shizhao's final decision was to use the [Public Security Memorial] to appease his father, the emperor.

[Emperor Yongjin took the memorial you presented to him, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn. He suddenly looked at you, and then at Wang Ruizhen who was kneeling beside him.]

【Wang Ruizhen had never seen Emperor Yongjin look so out of control.】

【“Who taught you to write this memorial?” Emperor Yongjin’s voice became deeper.】

[“This is written by me.” You said calmly, “No one else instructed me to do this.”]

[Emperor Yongjin threw the memorial to the ground fiercely, "I ask you again, who taught you to write this memorial? I will only give you this one chance."]

[Your expression remained unchanged, and you immediately cupped your hands and said, "I was born in the eleventh year of Yongjin, and am your Majesty's heir. This memorial was written and presented by me personally, and I will naturally take full responsibility for its contents."]

[“In the seventeenth year of Yongjin, I was seriously ill and could not recover. Father entrusted the imperial physician to treat me day and night. In the twenty-third year of Yongjin, my father was ill and could not recover. I could not bear it and went everywhere to find a doctor for him.”]

[“In the twenty-fourth year of Yongjin, I have read the Book of Filial Piety day and night, never forgetting my father’s kindness. In the twenty-fifth year of Yongjin, I have been asking around and heard that the two dragons cannot meet. Since then, I have not dared to meet my father.”]

[“How could there be someone behind me who dares to order me around?”]

[“After all, the Emperor is the father of my son. Even if we talk about backers, the Emperor is the only one who can support me. If we talk about allies, I can only be the party of the Emperor.”]

[“Now, my father is busy with state affairs day and night, and he is no longer as heroic as the saintly ruler he was in the past. Moreover, there are villains causing trouble, and he is not aware of the suffering of the people.” [“Therefore, I submit this memorial.”]

[“You—you—” Emperor Yongjin covered his chest and gasped, “You rebellious son—”]

[“If a king has loyal ministers, his country will not perish; if a father has loyal sons, his family will not perish.” You bowed again and said, “Please understand my good intentions, father.”]

[“Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease; honest advice is unpleasant to the ear but is good for conduct.”]

[Emperor Yongjin looked indifferent, raised his hand and shouted angrily: "Come here, arrest the Prince of Jin for me and send him to the Imperial Prison. Wang Ruizhen, I want you to investigate this case thoroughly, what do you think?"]

[“I still don’t know what kind of outrageous and rebellious words Your Highness has said, and I don’t know how to investigate it thoroughly.” Wang Ruizhen’s expression froze, and he bowed his head again. ]

[“I don’t know how to investigate thoroughly. Great, great, so you are all accomplices of the Prince of Jin—I said you were so anxious about the country’s foundation. I’m not dead yet! You want to recognize a new master?” The Yongjin Emperor’s eyes were cold, “Cao Wei, let Wang Ruizhen accompany my good son to the imperial prison to wake him up.”]

The screen freezes.

[Because you submitted a public security petition, your reputation increased by 200 points, your reputation among the people increased by 200 points, and you spoke up for the people, which increased your morality by 10 points.]

[The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty all know a prince named Prince Jin, who was sent to the Heavenly Prison by the current emperor because of his generosity and outspokenness.]

[Your first choice showed a preference for morality, and because of this, you were trapped and a special opportunity was randomly triggered.]

[You have temporarily obtained the purple entry - "The Legacy of Emperor Gaozu".]

[Gaozu's legacy: Your charm increases by 20 points, your morality increases by 20 points, the people's basic favorability towards you increases by 40 points, and your fortune decreases by 20 points.]

[In the first 35 years of your life, you will spend most of your time just sitting there, and it will be difficult for you to achieve the results you want. ]

[In April of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, you were in prison, unable to move or do anything. Ministers were constantly imprisoned because of the "Public Security Memorials" you submitted, and you implicated many ministers.]

[It is precisely because of this that the spread of "Public Security Memorial" has become more far-reaching, and your reputation has become even higher. ]

[In May of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, riots and uprisings broke out in many places in the south. A group of smuggling salt merchants formed an uprising army of thousands of people.]

[In June of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, due to the legacy of Emperor Gaozu, the ministers of the Qingliu faction in the court and the public began to look for ways to maneuver and rescue you who were trapped in the imperial prison.]

[In September of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, after three months of hard work, the Yongjin Emperor exiled you from the capital and sent you to Jinyang, one of the four northern towns.]

[You are no longer a One-Character King, your status has been demoted to a County Prince. ]

[You are no longer under house arrest, you are no longer under surveillance.]

[You can now operate and give orders freely. ]

After seeing this line of words, Chu Shizhao suddenly understood how happy his uncle felt when he said that famous saying.

"This journey is like a fish entering the sea, a bird flying into the sky, no longer bound by constraints!"

Who wants to stay in your broken capital and wait for death?

Given the current situation, wouldn't it be possible to revitalize it directly?

"Next time I come back, I won't be alone." A dream suddenly emerged in Chu Shizhao's heart.

This prince who left Beijing is just like a failed imperial examination candidate, none of them is easy to control!
