Chapter 1093: History, the Severest Father of Politics

To judge whether a workshop or asset is a low-quality asset, one must measure it from the three angles of means of production, tools, and professional technical personnel, rather than starting from how much silver is on the books or how much debt there is.

The Ming Dynasty didn't have money in its accounts before, but the Ming Dynasty's land was still there, and the Ming Dynasty's people were still there. By organizing production and sorting out taxes, it could recover.

All the assets Sun Sun Kehong handed over to the Emperor were high-quality assets, because all the means of production, production tools, and craftsmen had not been seriously lost. It was just that with Sun Sun Kehong's aging, several sons, under the influence of bewitchment, began to fight for family property, causing the cotton mill to be full of borers everywhere.

"So, the silver that reached these few sons was actually less than thirty percent. The remaining seventy percent was in the hands of these borers." Zhu Zhu Yijun finished reading the roster written by the new shopkeeper. He discovered a basic fact: these few sons actually didn't get much money; the bulk of the silver was taken away by the borers they had planted.

Seeing His Majesty asking about the distribution problem, Hu Junde deliberated for a while before opening his mouth to say: "Your Majesty, if the law is not carried out, it starts from the superiors violating it."

"The inability of the law to be effectively implemented and universally observed often starts from the top down, not from the bottom up. This is a very common rule."

"Sun Sun Kehong's few sons began to fight for family property. These people naturally no longer feared the rules and began to become more and more daring. They even soon discovered that without the support of these sons, they could still do whatever they wanted, and naturally, they would keep the majority in their own hands."

Hu Junde explained why, in the distribution of the cotton mill's interests, the sons got thirty percent, but these claws and dogs took the bulk.

If the rule of law doesn't work, it starts from the superiors violating it. The greatest pain in the implementation of the law is that certain specific people who control the interpretation of the law, that is, the power holders, do not respect the majesty of the law. This lack of respect destroys the authority of the law, and in the end, the law is no longer universally accepted.

In fact, rules are the same. Once the authority of the rules is broken by the rule-makers and owners, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to establish rules again.

Rules and laws are actually part of everyone's consensus. For any organization or collective, consensus is the greatest foundation.

Once this foundation is hollowed out, it is a collapse of heaven and earth.

Whether Sun Sun Kehong handed over the cotton mill to his own biological son Sun Chengzhi or his adopted son Chen Li Jingyi, he could no longer build a consensus. Handing the cotton mill to them would only lead to thorough corruption, because the raw material suppliers, the garment workshops that bought the cotton cloth, and the craftsmen of the cotton mill no longer trusted Sun Chengzhi and Chen Li Jingyi.

Sun Sun Kehong handed the cotton mill to the Emperor to reshape the consensus, so that his life's work could still exist, rather than slowly corrupting until it became a laughingstock in people's mouths.

If Sun Sun Kehong didn't hand the cotton mill to the Emperor, he could only sell it, because everyone no longer recognized them.

This is actually completely consistent with the principle Xiong Xiong Tingbi said: "Human life is cheap, human heart is expensive." The human heart of the Sun family in Li Yu Cotton Mill had already scattered.

Is it only Li Yu Cotton Mill that is like this? Government affairs are also like this.

The rebels of the Later Yuan who undermined the imperial court's authority, legal system, and legitimacy existed universally among the people and also universally in the imperial court.

For example, Censorate officials impeach some officials every year. They treat the seriousness of the law as a child's play. When they take office, they issue notices and post announcements, ignoring the facts and talking nonsense, undermining their own authority.

Zhu Zhu Yijun specially posted an announcement, announcing his decision that salaries would be paid within seven days. The announcement written by the Emperor himself, with his seal, was a promise kept. Similarly, he collected clues from all the craftsmen, hoping that the craftsmen would actively cooperate to ferret out all the borers in the cotton mill and reduce the cotton mill's losses.

Ask the craftsmen; the craftsmen know everything. They know who is giving them a hard time, who is not following the rules, and who is acting recklessly.

The Emperor's announcement caused cheers from the craftsmen. Soon, the craftsmen who were sitting and demanding wages gradually dispersed. It had been so many years, and His Majesty the Emperor's reputation was recognized even by rebels and even by foreign barbarians overseas; everyone knew that His Majesty kept his word.

The order and stability of the gold banknotes were currently entirely placed on the Emperor's own reputation. His Majesty's reputation was strong enough to issue banknotes.

His Majesty made a promise, and naturally, it would count.

The problem of Li Yu Cotton Mill was really not a small problem; it was worth the Emperor treating it so solemnly because it was a landmark event.

All the powerful and wealthy people in Songjiang Prefecture were watching. They knew this was a hot potato. If the Emperor couldn't catch it, then the rich merchants and powerful people would have a lot to do. Of course, the possibility of the Emperor not catching it was very small. These powerful people mainly looked at the Emperor's attitude.

If His Majesty's attitude changed, the Wage Arbitration Office could selectively ignore it, that is, give the Songjiang Prefecture Southern Yamen some face and do some superficial work. The labor-capital conflict that had just eased would immediately intensify, and all the tools and laws regarding labor-capital conflict since the Emperor Wanli Reform would no longer be universally observed.

But the powerful people were destined to be disappointed. His Majesty the Emperor's attitude was, as always, more respectful to the laborers.

The Emperor met the craftsmen first, asked about the craftsmen's situation and demands, and then asked the general manager and the accountant to inquire about the ins and outs. This order was very important; it represented the Emperor's own attitude.

The next day, carts of silver were pulled to Li Yu Cotton Mill, and wages began to be paid. Seven days was His Majesty's promise, and one day was His Majesty's execution.

At the same time, the collection of clues was also in full swing. In the past, the borers were boring Sun's industry, but as a result, this debt was actually pursued by the Emperor!

Is there any justice left!

If they had known it was the Emperor pursuing it, the borers wouldn't have dared to take this money even if they had the courage of a bear!

"Eh? No, why is there so much more silver?" On the seventh day, Zhu Zhu Yijun received the account book submitted by Hu Junde. It was already June 3rd.

Li Yu Cotton Mill, including debts to other suppliers, owed labor compensation to craftsmen, and money owed to banks, had a total deficit of 2.4 million silver.

But Hu Junde wanted to pursue 3 million silver, which was 600,000 silver more.

"Your Majesty, this is debt collection. How can debt collection only collect the principal? Interest is also required." Zhang Hong said with a smile: "However, the name is not interest, but confiscation for occupying public property."

Hu Junde's reason was very sufficient. How much silver would it take to ask His Majesty to take action?

This case of Li Yu Cotton Mill had disturbed the imperial carriage, and the Songjiang Prefecture Southern Yamen had left a label of incompetence in His Majesty's heart. This account had to be added with punitive measures!

"That's fine." Zhu Zhu Yijun ultimately did not interfere with Hu Junde's debt collection.

Hu Junde's meaning was very clear. If you make a mistake, you must not only make up for the negligence but also make compensation. This is the proper meaning.

For example, when the Wage Arbitration Office makes an arbitration, there is a calculation method for lost work fees. It is calculated from the day the craftsman stops receiving wages until the successful collection of wages. During this period, it is calculated according to the previous monthly salary, accumulated by the number of months, and converted into lost work compensation.

For example, Zhang San's monthly salary is 1 silver and 3 mace. He stopped receiving wages for three months before getting the labor compensation he deserved.

The first month's lost work fee is 1 silver and 3 mace, the second month is 1 silver and 6 mace 7 li, and the third month is 2 silver and 2 mace. The lost work fee for each month is 1.3 times that of the previous month. If he still hasn't received it in the fourth month, then the fourth month's lost work fee is 2 silver and 8 mace 6 li.

The poor people worked hard. Did these powerful people and rich merchants just pay the labor compensation they should have paid?

Was the time the craftsmen delayed not their cost?

If there is no calculation of this lost work fee, it is not achieving fairness and justice, but "leveling," which is simply muddling through.

Leveling is not fairness and justice; that is the money they should have paid in the first place, while the cumulative coefficient calculation of lost work fees is a punitive measure.

And there is also the issue of administrative costs considered here. The longer a case drags on, the higher the administrative cost. The Wage Arbitration Office has its own assessment. If a case hasn't been finished in half a month, it will be assessed as middle-lower.

In order to save administrative costs and prevent labor compensation arbitration cases from dragging on for too long, this is why it is stipulated this way.

The common people cannot afford to drag it out.

Besides this, such punitive measures also include tax inspection. When the Wage Arbitration Office makes a ruling, if the powerful refuse to execute it and delay for more than a month, it will be transferred to the Tax Inspection Institute for tax inspection. Once it reaches the Tax Inspection Institute, it is no longer a civil case, but a major criminal case.

The Tax Inspection guards are real jackals and tigers, and the Tax Inspection Institute is full of evil. Once transferred to the Tax Inspection Institute, if you don't lose a layer of skin, do you still want to get away?

Among the 8,000 cases handled by the Wage Arbitration Office, half are collective lawsuits, ranging from dozens to hundreds or thousands of people. This scale of cases, transferred to the Tax Inspection Institute for urging, has become the most effective means for the Wage Arbitration Office.

Similarly, regarding the 600,000 silver pursued, this punitive measure is also Hu Junde's expression of his position. He wants to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, rather than letting the power in his hands be slightly willful, using the power given to him by the imperial court to seek personal gain.

Or to put it more simply and clearly, Hu Junde is using the silver from pursuing debts and punishing borers to show his loyalty to the Emperor, cutting ties with the powerful people on the Songjiang ground, and expressing his position and attitude.

This is very important to Hu Junde; he really wants to make progress.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng has said more than once that Gao Zhu Qiyu is power-hungry and will do anything for progress. Hu Junde feels that Zhang Zhang Juzheng is wrong. In this officialdom, who doesn't want to make progress? If you don't want to make progress, why take the imperial examination and enter the official career!

In early June of the 23rd year of Emperor Wanli, the Wage Arbitration Offices of Shuntian Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Guangzhou Prefecture were officially listed and established. What surprised everyone was that Xuzhou Prefecture was also on the list of the first batch of Wage Arbitration Offices established.

This is the nth time Xuzhou Prefecture has caught a ride to soar upwards? Everyone has gradually become accustomed to the Emperor's partiality toward Xuzhou.

This is policy tilting. Xuzhou Prefect Liu Tang Shunzhi protected the people's livelihood and allowed the people of Xuzhou to live a stable life. The Emperor was very gratified. Although the labor-capital conflict in Xuzhou Prefecture was not obvious, there was still policy support.

The imperial court's support for Xuzhou is, on one hand, the Emperor's partiality, and on the other hand, a consensus among the ministers in the court.

In the Xuzhou area, there have been more than fifty large-scale wars throughout history. The rights and wrongs are difficult to discuss, but historians have all noticed that it was on this ancient battlefield that the rise and fall of many generations of dynasties were decided.

This place is really very important. It is necessary to ensure the loyalty of Xuzhou to the imperial court and the Emperor.

Especially after the Yanqing Palace was built, the Emperor needs to travel between Shuntian Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture all year round. As the gateway to the south, if Xuzhou is not loyal enough, the Emperor should worry about his own safety. If there is a problem in this place and they are not supportive enough of the Emperor, the Emperor simply cannot rest assured.

The Brother Jinshan Kingdom is the sword hanging over the heads of the Mexico, Peru, and Chile Viceroyalties, so Xuzhou is the sword hanging over the Jiangnan region.

170 people actively responding to the recruitment for the army is Xuzhou's loyalty, and strong policy support is the affirmation of this loyalty.

Shen Shen Shixing launched a new round of official governance rectification with the basic program of "not seeking hollow names and suffering real disasters." During this rectification process, there was a case that attracted widespread attention from the Ming Dynasty. All major miscellaneous newspapers followed up and reported it, and the imperial court also relaxed the constraints on public opinion, allowing the miscellaneous newspapers to discuss this typical corruption case.

The seventeen Censorate officials who impeached Zhang Zhang Juzheng were also busy with this matter: the major corruption case of the Weishan Lake Coal Mine in Huancheng Town, Yi County, Yanzhou Prefecture.

Yanzhou Prefect Du Duke Wen Zhong, who came from the Du family of Baokang, was a truly high-ranking and powerful family. When he was Yanzhou Prefect, he gave the mining and operation of the Weishan Lake Coal Mine to a powerful person, and then this powerful person returned the favor by building a very luxurious manor for Du Duke Wen Zhong in his hometown.

This corruption was on a huge scale, involving more than 1.8 million silver, which could be called the second largest case after the Xu Xu Jie case.

The Censorate officials sorted out the process of Du Duke Wen Zhong being corrupted, and this process was typical of seeking hollow names and suffering real disasters.

In the 4th year of Emperor Wanli, Du Duke Wen Zhong became the Magistrate of Kai County, Sichuan. He sat there for eight years. In order to seek promotion, a powerful person found Du Duke Wen Zhong and expressed his willingness to invest in him. The specific investment method was packaging.

The two hit it off immediately. Soon, Du Duke Wen Zhong had a reputation for being virtuous, clean, honest, prudent, and good at suppressing bandits and catching thieves.

Because of his widespread reputation for virtue, Du Duke Wen Zhong was transferred to Yanzhou Prefect. During his tenure as Yanzhou Prefect, he began to repay this powerful person.

From the 12th year of Emperor Wanli to the 20th year of Emperor Wanli, for these eight years, Du Duke Wen Zhong not only gave the Weishan Lake Coal Mine to this powerful person but even handed over the appointment of the Southern Yamen runners, clerks, accountants, etc., of Yanzhou Prefecture to this powerful person.

Apart from making money in the mine, this powerful person also took the silver for repairing bridges and roads. Water conservancy, roads, bridges, coal markets, etc., all fell into the pockets of this powerful person.

And Du Duke Wen Zhong's downfall was related to Liu Tang Shunzhi. Liu Tang Shunzhi wanted to be an official who protects the people, not an official who does things. Liu Tang Shunzhi solved the problem of the Xuzhou coal mine, which the Emperor was most concerned about, very thoroughly. In the process of this solution, this case was involved.

The Weishan Lake Coal Mine bordered Xuzhou Prefecture. When Liu Tang Shunzhi handled the case, it inevitably involved the Yanzhou Prefecture area, but the investigation was frequently obstructed. According to the rules of officialdom, Liu Tang Shunzhi could not cross the boundary.

At the end of the 19th year of Emperor Wanli, Liu Tang Shunzhi submitted a petition to the Cabinet, a memorial listing the Yanzhou Prefecture local officials who obstructed the investigation of the Xuzhou coal mine case, and then the anti-corruption officials Xu Xu Chengchu and Fan Yuanshan began to intervene in the investigation.

From the 20th year of Emperor Wanli, it took a full three and a half years of investigation before the announcement of this major corruption case was posted.

"The people of Yanzhou have suffered. A King Yama Kong fell, and a hypocrite came." Zhu Zhu Yijun had been paying attention to this case and wrote his vermilion comment on Xu Xu Chengchu's memorial.

Not long after the Kong family of Yanzhou fell and King Yama Kong was uprooted by the Emperor, this Gentleman Du arrived. His reputation was widespread, his appearance was like gold and jade, and on the surface, he was a gentleman, but behind the scenes, he did all kinds of evil, and his inside was rotten.

"This living turtle raised more than a hundred concubines. Is he too busy? Raising so many, they are just for others to raise." Zhu Zhu Yijun closed the memorial and issued an order to the Censorate. The Anti-Corruption Institute had already investigated clearly, and now it was the Censorate's turn to judge the case. The Censorate was a legal department, a legal department specially aimed at bureaucrats. Such cases had to be heard in the Censorate.

Fan Yuanshan had investigated Du Duke Wen Zhong's case very clearly, inside and out, even investigating how many young lovers these hundred concubines had raised with Du Duke Wen Zhong's silver.

Du Duke Wen Zhong raised so many that he couldn't even call out the names of many women. These women took the silver and found their favorite people to spend this ill-gotten wealth together. Even if Du Duke Wen Zhong bumped into them, they weren't afraid, because Du Duke Wen Zhong himself didn't recognize them.

"Your Majesty, the Anti-Corruption Institute should be established; it cannot not be established." Zhang Hong tactfully expressed his opinion, reminding His Majesty not to just stare at the case itself, but to see the other impacts of this case.

The Anti-Corruption Institute is right.

"Speak directly if you have something to say." Zhu Zhu Yijun picked up another memorial and asked for Zhang Hong's clear meaning.

"Your Majesty, your servant is not intelligent and doesn't understand some things, but when the Anti-Corruption Institute was being prepared back then, how many ministers submitted memorials to oppose it, feeling that harsh government was like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, fearing that the changes were too fast. Your Majesty overcame all opposition and established this Anti-Corruption Institute. Now it seems that it really cannot not be established." Zhang Hong explained his meaning.

As a monarch, His Majesty sometimes ignores his own brilliance and needs someone like Zhang Hong, who is not intelligent, to remind His Majesty of his brilliance.

When His Majesty sees the memorial, he will only feel that in this case, Xu Xu Chengchu and Fan Yuanshan are worthy of being Zhang Mr.'s proud students, and they did a beautiful job!

Xu Xu Chengchu was from the Jingzhou Guard military register in Huguang, and he was a true fellow townsman of Zhang Zhang Juzheng. The backgrounds of these two were very poor. One was discriminated against because of a large tumor on his neck, and the other was simply a son-in-law living in his wife's family.

But the ministers and officials only sighed when they saw this case: His Majesty's decision to overcome all opposition and establish this Anti-Corruption Institute was simply too correct.

The Emperor Wanli Reform was magnificent, and the role of silver began to become more and more important. If the Emperor Wanli Reform did not fight corruption, the final result would be that all the fruits of the Emperor Wanli Reform would be stolen.

For example, in the Du Duke Wen Zhong case, this powerful person took all the silver the imperial court gave to Yanzhou Prefecture to build three-level schools and gave it to private schools, causing the scale of private schools in Yanzhou Prefecture to expand wantonly, squeezing out official schools so that they could not be built at all.

Yanzhou Prefecture also became the place where the Dinghai school system was implemented the worst in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This was the hometown of Confucius, the holy palace of literature and education, yet popularizing education was difficult. It was simply the biggest joke in the world.

If corruption is not fought, the current prosperity of the Emperor Wanli Reform is just flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water, like a dream and a bubble.

"After you say this, I have indeed done something." Zhu Zhu Yijun nodded after listening to Zhang Hong's statement, and was very satisfied with his original decision. If Zhang Hong hadn't said it, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Feng Bao would not say these things, and Li Li Yougong would not either. His Majesty's brilliance is self-evident; isn't this a matter of course?

But Zhang Hong, this great eunuch, was responsible for the Emperor's daily life all year round and rarely participated in government affairs. He noticed that His Majesty didn't know he was really brilliant, and therefore didn't understand the root cause of the fanatical enthusiasm of the young and strong faction for His Majesty.

Putting himself in their shoes, if Zhang Hong were a man of noble character, he would also be fanatical.

"Military administration was sorted out by General Qi, and official governance was sorted out by Mr.. I just stood on the shoulders of giants and did a little bit of work that should be done." Zhu Zhu Yijun said modestly to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Feng Da Ban, Mr. once said a sentence to me. I didn't understand it before, but after I became the master of the house in the 10th year of Emperor Wanli, I gradually understood it."

"All glory, all success, all achievements, the moment they are accomplished, they have already become the past."

"Your servant is dull..." Zhang Hong turned this sentence over and over, savoring it carefully a dozen times, but in the end, he was still helpless. He really didn't understand: if the achievements are accomplished, do they not count anymore?

His Majesty really wanted to teach, and Zhang Hong really wanted to learn, but unfortunately, he couldn't learn it.

"Feng Feng Da Ban has always wanted to give himself an ultimate curtain call. He is very disappointed with the powerful people. Where is the courage of those years?" Zhu Zhu Yijun reminded Zhang Hong that after Feng Bao left office, he was very uneasy. He always wanted to exchange pieces to maintain his name of loyalty to the monarch, so he understood this principle very clearly.

Zhang Hong was thoughtful; he seemed to understand some principles.

Zhu Zhu Yijun continued: "People are just so greedy. Once they get something, they will feel that it belongs to them as a matter of course, that it should be like this, rather than feeling that this is the result of arduous struggle, and only when they lose it will they sigh with regret."

"Once a thing is done, it is a past achievement. People will only realize the preciousness of this achievement when they lose it."

"At the time, I only thought it was ordinary."

This kind of thing has been staged many times in history.

For example, after Tan Sima Guang returned to Kaifeng and abolished all of Wang Wang Anshi's New Policies, people realized what a great change Wang Xianggong had brought to the Great Song Dynasty;

Similarly, after Zhang Zhang Juzheng died and was liquidated, people lost all the fruits of the New Policies and realized how absurd the liquidation of Zhang Zhang Juzheng was, and how closely it was related to everyone.

At the time, I only thought it was ordinary, feeling that without Wang Xianggong and Zhang Mr., there would still be Shen Gelao to be the pillar of heaven. Unfortunately, there wasn't.

"How can these achievements not count!" Zhang Hong understood His Majesty's meaning, and his emotions immediately became a bit agitated. Doesn't this mean that everything done was in vain?

"So, history is a very patient teacher. If you don't learn, it will come again until you really learn. Some things happen repeatedly because you haven't learned." Zhu Zhu Yijun picked up the memorial and said: "We should also continue to grind."

The repetitive and spiral nature of history is because all achievements and glory, the moment they are accomplished, become the past.

Zhang Hong was indignant. Zhang Hong knew that His Majesty was right, but he was helpless. In the end, he put down the worries in his heart and helped His Majesty manage government affairs.

The establishment of the Anti-Corruption Institute was also full of twists and turns. Some people said that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and absolute integrity means absolute inefficiency. This sentence is not wrong at all. Zhu Zhu Yijun naturally knew that to a certain extent, he, the emperor, even allowed corruption.

As long as things can be done, taking a little silver is fine. If you take it, you take it. If you can make the Ming Dynasty full of roads, even if Wen Cheng Gong takes a little silver, it won't delay his ultimate honor after death, being buried in the Brother Jinshan Imperial Mausoleum.

But everything has a degree. You can take silver, but you cannot fail to do things.

Any organization or collective, from small to families, neighborhoods, workshops, and merchant groups, to large to the imperial court, has an impossible triangle: authority, integrity, and efficiency. The core of all official governance is to make a fuss about this impossible triangle and find a balance among these three elements.

The three elements of politics were the principles Zhang Zhang Juzheng taught the Emperor when he was ten years old.

If you want to pursue authority and efficiency, you must allow corruption; if you pursue authority and integrity with morality as the supreme, you can only fall into inefficiency;

And if you pursue integrity and efficiency, there will be no authoritative figures, because authoritative figures will limit subjective initiative.

The Anti-Corruption Institute superficially opposes corruption wherever it is found, but in the actual implementation process, there is a line, which is 50,000 silver. Corruption cases below 50,000 silver are generally not handled;

And once the official involved is of the fourth rank, it is not based on specific numbers, but on proportions. A typical example is the corruption case of the Beijing-Guangzhou road. They took too much and delayed the project, which led to the heavy punch of the imperial fist.

If you take less than one-tenth of a thing, most of it will be let go.

Fourth-rank officials can sit and eat at the banquet, while those below the fourth rank can only stand.

The imperial system naturally pursues authority, and the emperor also pursues efficiency, so to a certain extent, he will allow the phenomenon of taking money, but it cannot be too excessive. If it is too excessive and known to everyone, and the people are miserable, the imperial fist will not be stingy.

What Zhu Zhu Yijun told Zhang Hong was actually very superficial. He would discuss some in-depth content with Zhang Zhang Juzheng. If he said it to Zhang Hong, Zhang Hong couldn't understand it. Sometimes, when the Emperor communicated with some ministers, it was also difficult for some ministers to communicate efficiently.

The Ming Dynasty is a serious imperial court, and Ming politics should be serious, and political science should also be serious, rather than arguing for the sake of arguing.

History is the severest father of political science. For any act of cheating, history will repeat itself and use facts to educate everyone.

Zhang Hong is actually right. His Majesty cannot fully understand his own brilliance, because His Majesty himself didn't realize that being able to discuss political science principles with Zhang Zhang Juzheng is itself a manifestation of brilliance.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng is already a rare talent in the world, especially in terms of official governance.

Zhu Zhu Yijun cannot realize how brilliant he is, which is actually a subconscious avoidance of this problem, preventing himself from being immersed in flowers and praise, and breeding arrogance.

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he becomes arrogant, he will become Felipe.

A true master always holds the heart of an apprentice!

Zhu Zhu Yijun once had a nightmare: he dreamed that in the Huangji Hall, inside and outside the hall, on the Danbi Square, it was full of ministers. Every minister had countless heads, every head had countless faces, every face had countless mouths, and every mouth had countless tongues. These tongues were praising at the same time: "His Majesty is brilliant."

This nightmare was the most terrible nightmare Zhu Zhu Yijun had ever had in two lifetimes.

Zhu Zhu Yijun was really afraid, afraid of becoming a sinner in history, afraid that because of arrogance, he would mess everything up.
