Yangxin Palace Hall.
Emperor Jiajing opened the bead curtain, and the two dragons met!
"Then what did my son say about me?”
When Zhu Zaihou heard Emperor Jiajing's words, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Jiajing on the dragon couch.
Emperor Jiajing's expression was haggard and his face was as white as paper.
Even if he was already at the end of his rope, he had to hold on and not show any signs of dejection in front of his son!
He was the emperor!
No matter when and where, he had to be indomitable!
Especially in front of your son!
The officials could flee in all directions, but the emperor had to be indomitable!
Lu Bing was terrified. He did not know how to persuade Emperor Jia Jing. Prince Yu was still young. If he said anything disrespectful and angered Emperor Jia Jing, then the throne would be difficult to protect!
Jiajing Emperor turned to look at Lu Bing and stretched out his arm to stop Lu Bing from speaking. He only wanted to hear what his son would say about his father!
Zhu Zaihou looked up at Emperor Jiajing, and their gazes intertwined.
The two dragons met, the true dragon appeared, and the hidden dragon hid!
The attributes of Emperor Jiajing appeared in front of Zhu Zaihou.
Red and thick.

Zhu Zaihou found that Emperor Jiajing was already at the end of his rope. He was not pretending to be sick. He was really going to die of old age!
When Zhu Zaihou looked at Emperor Jiajing, he thought of many countermeasures. How should he answer Emperor Jiajing?
What kind of comment did he want?
Flattery?
Or should I tell you directly?
Or should he say his true opinion of Emperor Jiajing?
Zhu Zaihou quickly thought about it and bowed."Reporting to Imperial Father, as a son, how can I talk about Imperial Father!”
After hearing Zhu Zaihou's answer, Lu Bing heaved a sigh of relief, but cold sweat kept appearing on his forehead.
If Zhu Zaihou talked about Emperor Jiajing and angered the emperor, he would not only lose his position as the crown prince, but also his life!
On the dragon bed, Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Zaihou. He could feel the rising sun.
"Don't worry, you are my prince, how can I blame you?”
As soon as Emperor Jiajing finished speaking, Zhu Zaihou raised his head. Under Lu Bing's dumbfounded expression, he said,"Reporting to Imperial Father, this subject will tell the truth!”
Lu Bing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He could not believe his ears. Zhu Zaihou was really going to comment on Emperor Jiajing!
Lu Bing's heart clenched.
Zhu Zaihou said word by word," Father, ever since you ascended the throne, you have been wise and strict. You have been strict with the officials and lenient with the people. You have reorganized the court, reduced taxes and corvee, revived the country's politics, and created the Jiajing period. You are indeed the eternal Holy Emperor.”
After hearing Zhu Zaihou praise Emperor Jiajing, Lu Bing's tightly clenched heart finally fell back into his stomach.
After hearing Zhu Zaihou's comment, Emperor Jiajing bowed his head and laughed." Alright, although I know you're flattering me, I like it. Come, sit beside me and let me take a good look at Hou 'er."”
Emperor Jia Jing's joy came from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, a good emperor should not only be wise and powerful, but also be good at hiding his thoughts. The things he did and the words he said should be valuable and beneficial to himself.
The emperor was like this. He would not say anything that was detrimental to him, nor would he do anything that was detrimental to him.
Similarly, if others said something unfavorable to him, he would be severely punished.
If someone else did something unfavorable to him, he would die!
This was the Emperor!
Emperor Jiajing, who was in a good mood, waved at Lu Bing and said,"Wenming, wait outside. I have something to say to Hou 'er.”
"Yes!"
Lu Bing bowed and left Yangxin Palace Hall. In the huge Yangxin Palace Hall, only Emperor Jiajing and Zhu Zaihou were left. Emperor Jiajing held Zhu Zaihou's hand and sized him up.
"Not bad, not bad. You have the demeanor of my youth. When I was your age, I came to the capital alone. There was the Empress Dowager behind the curtain to listen to the government. Outside, there was the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Yang Yanhe, who controlled the government. The eunuchs of the East Chamber also bullied me because I was unfamiliar with this place…"
Zhu Zaihou listened quietly. Emperor Jiajing continued,"However, they are all subjects! What can the Empress Dowager do? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a rule left behind by the ancestors. If the chief assistant of the cabinet is disobedient, he will be expelled from the capital and will never be hired. If the eunuchs of the East Chamber play tricks on me, I will kill them until there are few left!”
Emperor Jiajing's voice was very soft and casual, but Zhu Zaihou could hear the swift and decisive tone in it. Emperor Jiajing inherited the throne from his cousin Zhu Houzhao and was a vassal king. Because he was young, he was naturally troubled by external and internal problems.
However, in the end, Emperor Jiajing still managed to stabilize the country, subdue the Empress Dowager, topple Yang Yanhe, and make the East Chamber exist in name only!
Emperor Jiajing held Zhu Zaihou's hand and tirelessly exhorted,"Hou 'er, if you sit on the throne one day, how will you govern the courtiers? How should we deal with the treacherous officials and sycophants you mentioned?”
Zhu Zaihou listened to Emperor Jiajing's inquiry and asked,""Imperial Father, are you talking about Yan Song and Chou Luan?”
"For example, it's them."
"Your son will probably kill them."
Jiajing smiled and shook his head." Hou 'er, if you kill these treacherous officials, who will Xu Jie and Gao Gong scheme against?" If it weren't for these treacherous and crafty officials, wouldn't they have schemed against you? Do you want to be schemed against by the officials all day, or do you want to see the officials scheming against each other? Are you sitting on the fishing platform?"
"Hou 'er, do you think Imperial Father doesn't know that Yan Song is treacherous?”
"Wrong. Imperial Father has always known that Yan Song is treacherous. Why did Imperial Father keep him? Because father wanted to use Xia Yan, Xu Jie, and the others, but these people were cunning and disobedient, so father wanted to set up an equal opponent for them and not treat zhen as their opponent…"
"You are the emperor, so you have to play with all the courtiers in the palm of your hand. If you don't want to use them, you can give them an imperial edict. If you want them to live, they can't die. If you want them to die, they can't live!”
Zhu Zaihou listened to Emperor Jiajing's words and understood the meaning behind his words.
Emperor Jiajing taught Zhu Zaihou the art of emperor.
"If you become the emperor, you must always place yourself in the supreme position. Whether it is the cabinet, the Jinyiwei, or the eunuchs, they are all chess pieces in the emperor's hands, for your use.”
"Son, you must remember that you are a supreme being in this world. No one can say anything that is detrimental to you, and no one can do anything that is detrimental to you!”
"When you rule the world, you have to think about what I said. Controlling officials is the art of an emperor!”
After repeated instructions, Emperor Jiajing stretched out his hands and patted Zhu Zaihou's shoulder heavily twice. Zhu Zaihou clearly felt the heavy instructions from Emperor Jiajing's hands.
It seemed like he was just patting his shoulders, but it was more like he was handing over the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Zaihou and letting Zhu Zaihou carry the Ming Dynasty!
Emperor Jiajing's vision went black, and his body staggered backward.
Zhu Zaihou supported Emperor Jiajing and shouted,"Lu Bing!"
Lu Bing, who was outside Yangxin Palace Hall, entered and went forward to support the tottering Emperor Jiajing.
Jiajing Emperor forced himself to support his body and said,"Hou 'er, go and rest. Tomorrow, there will be an edict that will spread throughout the imperial court and the Ming Empire!”
"Imperial Father needs to rest more. Your son will take his leave.”
Zhu Zaihou stood up and left Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Zaihou's back and muttered to himself,"Two dragons meet, true dragon appears, hidden dragon! The two dragons meet…"
Emperor Jiajing's eyes gradually widened!
"Two dragons meet, true dragon appears, hidden dragon dies! Hidden Dragon is dead!"
Wow!
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty…"
"Your Majesty…"
Lu Bing supported Emperor Jiajing and no longer cared about the Three Pure Ones Dao Ancestor or the orthodoxy inheritance. He shouted,"Someone come! Summon the Imperial Physician!"
Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Zaihou, who had already left, and let the blood flow from the corner of his mouth."I finally understand, I finally understand. The true dragon appears and the hidden dragon dies. So I'm not the true dragon. I'm the hidden dragon. The true dragon is Hou 'er. Hou' er is the true dragon!”
"Hou 'er! Hou 'er!"
"Imperial Father can't see you anymore!”
"But Imperial Father knows! You will definitely be more suitable than father to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Your glory will eventually shine on the earth!”
"Hou 'er!"
"Hou 'er!"
Emperor Jiajing shouted twice. Outside Yangxin Hall, Zhu Zaihou heard Emperor Jiajing's shout and ran into Yangxin Hall.
"Hou 'er!"
"Hou 'er!"
Emperor Jiajing used his last bit of strength. Zhu Zaihou ran to Emperor Jiajing. Jiajing grabbed Zhu Zaihou's shoulders and interlocked his fingers.
Emperor Jiajing's head touched Zhu Zaihou's head. He shouted with his last strength,"Hou 'er! From now on! You are the Great Ming Master! Your shoulders must bear the heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty! Hou 'er! You want to be the Holy Master! You have to do what father failed to do!”
"The Tartars in the north occupy the Hetao Plain, which is the territory of our Ming Dynasty! In your lifetime, you must take it back for Imperial Father! Take it back for Imperial Father!"
"Alas!"
"Ah! Alas!"
Emperor Jiajing raised his head and sighed.
"What do you mean by becoming an immortal? What Immortal Ancestor? They were all ethereal and traceless! Ethereal and traceless! In this world! There were no immortals! In this world! Nor…longevity!"
Emperor Jiajing fell on his back on the dragon couch.
"Hou 'er! You want to…rule the world! Big Ming…I'll leave it to…you!"
Bang!
Emperor Jiajing fell on the dragon couch!
Li Fang stumbled to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and cried,"His Majesty…has passed away!"
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Yan Song, Xu Jie, and the others were shocked.
What the hell!
His Majesty had passed away?
Emperor Jiajing!
Passed away?
The terrifying storm struck Yan Song and Xu Jie, causing the two of them to fall into an unprecedented huge transformation.
