The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 20 Treating People with Sincerity - The Style of a King

The old man smiled without saying a word, his kind eyes sweeping over everyone around him.

Eunuchs like Liu Jin, young men like Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng, and Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan who appeared in the distance and were watching.

From beginning to end, the emotion, gratitude, surprise, gentleness, tenderness, loyalty, etc. in those eyes could not escape his eyes.

I shook my head and smiled in my heart.

Sometimes, defects may not be disadvantages.

Your Majesty Taizong, when it comes to the kingly demeanor, the young prince is even better than you were.

Because the most touching thing in this world is sincerity.

Even an old slave like me is willing to work hard for the young prince for a few more years.

I am increasingly convinced that the young prince may be able to do what neither you nor His Majesty Taizu can do.

Without saying anything more, the old man took Wei Jinzhong away.

The two young eunuchs, Yu Huatian and Cao Shaoqin, stayed behind.

Half an hour later, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to ask Yan Nantian, Yu Huatian and the other three to join forces to fight him.

Of course, it was Zhu Houzhao who mainly attacked. Yu Huatian and Cao Shaoqin did not dare to take the initiative to attack and could only resist.

Yan Nantian and Zhao Zhen have adapted to the situation and dare to actually fight.

The combination of these four flawed people made Zhu Houzhao enjoy himself a lot more.

He happily let the two little eunuchs follow him all the time.

Although Liu Jin and the two Caos found this annoying, there was nothing they could do.

After all, it was sent to the prince by Duke Zheng himself, so the prince obviously valued it very much.

Even if there were three of them, they couldn't really do anything to these two little eunuchs in public, right?
They didn't even have the power to order the two little eunuchs.

Outside the East Palace.

Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan, who walked out of the palace, both felt particularly happy today.

"Xunhuan, what do you think about what happened today?" Wang Shouren said with a smile on his face, and he was obviously in a good mood.

"Your Highness has a kind heart. He may seem stubborn and arrogant, but he really loves the people like his own children. Even the eunuchs and palace maids are truly cherished by His Highness.

Treating others with sincerity is the style of a king." Li Xunhuan smiled without hesitation.

Obviously, he thought about these words for a long time.

"Yes, loving the people like one's own children and treating people with sincerity are the demeanor of a king." Wang Shouren nodded heavily.

There seemed to be a gleam in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Although your Highness is young, his personality is obviously different from that of ordinary people.

There may be many shortcomings, but no matter how many shortcomings there are, they are nothing compared to the twelve words "love the people like your own children, treat people with sincerity, and have the demeanor of a king."

"Yes." Li Xunhuan agreed.

Ask yourself, if there is a king like this, what choice would he make?
He would not hesitate but pledge his allegiance till death.

“Xun Huan, Eunuch Liu and his men, the two young eunuchs Yu Huatian, and Nan Tian, ​​Zhao Zheng and their men.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will all become the mainstays of the factory guards in His Highness's future.

The civil officials should not be left behind, and we should prepare for His Highness's future. "Wang Shouren said solemnly.

"Brother, you are right. We should make friends with more people with lofty ideals." Li Xunhuan immediately understood what Wang Shouren meant and nodded in agreement.

Over the past few months, he has learned more about the Ming Dynasty's problems from Wang Shouren.

He also believed that the Ming Dynasty needed change.

If we want to bring about change, we not only need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but we also need as many people as possible to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Well, although you and I have been ostracized by many officials, I believe that among all the officials, there must be people who share the same ideals as you and me.

There are also students who have not yet entered the court. They have not yet been infected by the court and are more likely to identify with us.

As long as we search patiently, we will definitely find many people traveling with us." Wang Shouren said confidently.

"Xunhuan will definitely do his best to find her." Li Xunhuan said seriously.

····
A month or two later, Zhu Houzhao celebrated his sixth birthday.

Tai Chi Thirteen Postures Level 1206 (10000/)

The first level of Myojin Martial Arts Code (3201/10000)

Zhu Houzhao was particularly happy today.

After having a happy lunch with his father, he had a big meal with many of his closest friends in the East Palace in the afternoon. It was very lively.

He subconsciously looked at Tianfu again and became even happier.

It won’t be long before he will be invincible.

At that time, he will lead an army of millions, sweep across the world, and establish a great cause that no one can match.

Let mom and dad be proud of us.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Looking at everyone, a feeling of pride welled up in his heart and he started to giggle.

"Eat all, Liu Banban, Da Cao Banban, Er Cao Banban, Xiao Tianzi, Xiao Qinzi, you all eat too."

"Everyone present here today is a brother. This prince will definitely lead you to unify the world in the future."

"Old Wang, Old Li, you will be the prime ministers of this prince's cabinet in the future.

Old Yan, Old Zhao, you are the generals of this prince."

·····
Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youtang put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his face showing unconcealable fatigue.

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a rest?" Another eunuch, He Ding, asked respectfully.

"Yeah." Zhu Youtang responded casually, and subconsciously looked towards the direction of the East Palace, and said with a smile: "The prince is still celebrating, right?" "Still celebrating." He Ding nodded.

"Let the prince be happy." Zhu Youtang said with relief.

"Old slave understands."

"Are all the candidates from the nobles' side ready?" Zhu Youtang asked with a serious look.

"Everything has been prepared. The marriageable-age children of the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Qian have also settled down in the capital." He Ding confirmed.

Zhu Youtang hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "The longer we delay, the worse it will be.

Issue an imperial decree, asking them to all enter the Eastern Palace on October 1st to accompany the crown prince in his studies.

Tell them seriously again that whether they can stay with the prince in the end depends on themselves. "

"Yes."

····
October st.

On this day, more than one hundred young men, aged between ten and eighteen, entered the East Palace.

These young men were headed by the six dukes’ palaces: Duke of Wei, Duke of Ding, Duke of Ying, Duke of Cheng, Duke of Qian, and Duke of Bao.

Almost all the existing noble families in the Ming Dynasty have young people coming to them to a greater or lesser extent.

Among them were the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Duke’s Mansion, as well as ordinary members of the noble family.

Those who were able to enter the Eastern Palace at this time were all those who Zhu Youtang had spent nearly a year screening.

"Are these all for accompanying this prince to study?"

On the wall of the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao said in surprise and joy.

With so many people, he could beat them for a long time.

"Your Highness, they will first be taught by special teachers, and only those who pass the assessment can study with Your Highness later." Wang Shouren explained while standing behind Zhu Houzhao.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of those young men.

He had long guessed that His Majesty would definitely train a team of meritorious military generals for His Highness.

But I didn't expect His Majesty to be so generous.

These more than one hundred young people are definitely the future of the Ming Dynasty's nobles.

Now that they have gathered openly to accompany the prince in his studies, everyone knows what it means.

At this time, the court must have been in an uproar.

His Majesty, who has always been known for his kindness and preference for civil officials, did such a big thing without telling any officials, which even surprised him.

Apart from the reasons for the survival of the Ming Dynasty, the deep father-son love between His Majesty and Your Highness was beyond his expectations.

"Let's go, let's go. This prince wants to have a good fight with them." Zhu Houzhao was about to run down excitedly.

"Your Highness, it is not appropriate for you to have too much contact with them now.

After the selection, the remaining ones will be qualified to study with you. "Wang Shouren stopped Zhu Houzhao and said.

"Then we have to fight first, otherwise many people will leave and we won't be able to fight." Zhu Houzhao said quickly and ran down.

Wang Shouren was helpless. As His Highness's skills became more and more powerful, he wanted to beat up anyone he met.

Looking at His Highness's hurried figure, he suddenly smiled.

Perhaps, Your Highness's sincerity towards others will make things better.

Entering a square behind the East Palace gate, Zhu Houzhao and his men stopped more than a hundred young men.

He waved his hand to let the leaders retreat. He held his head high, chest puffed out, and looked at the more than one hundred young men in front of him with a haughty look.

Although these boys were taller than him, his eyes still clearly looked down upon them.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" More than a hundred young men easily recognized the identity of the child and saluted together.

There was an unconcealable curiosity in each of their eyes.

None of them was not curious about this extremely naughty prince, who had a terrifying talent in martial arts and had mastered the Mingshen Martial Arts Canon.

"No need to be so polite." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

He said loudly in a childish voice: "Who among you is willing to fight with this prince?"

Suddenly, there was a slight uproar among the more than one hundred young men.

But after all, they all came from extraordinary backgrounds, and although they were still young, they could easily calm down.

The scene was completely silent. Many of the young people said nothing, and no one stepped forward.

Not to mention anything else, just fighting with the prince is definitely not a good thing.

After a few breaths, Zhu Houzhao became unhappy when he saw that no one stood up.

With his hands on his waist, he shouted angrily, "Is there no one who dares to stand up and fight with this prince?"

"We dare not fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." One of the young men standing in front spoke up.

"I asked you to fight, but you didn't dare. Why are you so cowardly?

This prince knows everything about astronomy and geography, and is the most knowledgeable person in the world. I know that your ancestors conquered the world together with my ancestors, or made great contributions.

All of them are fierce. This prince is more powerful than his ancestors, and Qing is better than Lan.

Why are you so useless? You don't even dare to fight. "

Zhu Houzhao squinted at these young men with dissatisfaction, and his disdain was so strong that one could smell it.

The people behind him were a little stunned.

Your Highness, are you trying to provoke me?
