Chapter 68 4. This is not what I want

If we were able to interview Zhu Houzhao now, our question would probably be, "Excuse me, Xiao Zhu, how do you evaluate your position in history?" Or, "Do you think you are a qualified emperor?" emperor?At that time, Zhu Houzhao's eyes will show infinite sadness, and he will definitely blurt out such a sentence: "This is not the life I want!" That’s right, the situation is like this, Zhu Houzhao, if he could choose freely, he might become a farmer, a successful dung collector, a shoe shiner on the street, a fruit vendor who was chased by the city management and ran around... He would choose almost any profession, but he would definitely not choose the career of being an emperor.

why? Because this kid is so smart. How smart is he? His intelligence is hard to describe in words.To be precise, Zhu Houzhao is a person with independent thinking.To be more precise, the environment in which this child grew up was closer to a modern civilized society, which led to Zhu Houzhao's thoughts that only modern people can understand. There is a saying in the history books that Zhu Houzhao was not actually born to Queen Zhang, but another court lady who was fortunately imperialed by Zhu Youtang and gave birth to a child, but Queen Zhang took the child.This point of view was widely recognized by the society in Zhu Youtang's era, and almost all ordinary people firmly believed in it.

So do the common people have any evidence? What ordinary people pay attention to is not evidence, but a clear distinction between likes and hates.You know, the two younger brothers of Queen Zhang engaged in demolition and relocation, and they also got involved in gang fights, and countless people were poisoned by them.Therefore, the public believed from the bottom of their hearts that it was absolutely impossible for a woman like Queen Zhang to become pregnant—is there any reason for even women in the underworld to be pregnant? The unswerving judgment of the common people really gave birth to some strange things. Someone actually went to Beijing to sue the imperial court, claiming to be responsible for Zhu Houzhao's birth.But in the end, no one could make it clear about this matter. Anyway, the history books are ironclad, and it is written in black and white: Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, Empress Zhang -- and Zhang later gave birth to a child, which strongly refuted the empress no birth statement.

Regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao was born to Queen Zhang or not, it is clear that Queen Zhang's attitude towards this child is a distinct mother-in-law style, without the slightest taste of a stepmother.In this environment, Zhu Houzhao's psychology is destined not to leave a shadow that can never be erased like his previous two predecessors.In other words, Zhu Houzhao should be mentally healthy. In addition, let's look at Zhu Houzhao's family environment-the mother Zhang is fierce and fierce, and she says what she says in the palace.His father, Zhu Youtang, is cowardly and timid, and suffers from severe crowd phobia.The imperial power structure of this family is unbalanced and deformed, but it is very similar to the era of the rise of modern women's rights.

In many modern families, women occupy an absolute dominant position, and generally speaking, family rules are set in the family. Number one, the wife is always right. Number two, if the wife is wrong, see number one. Although these two family rules are just a joke, they vividly reproduce the character traits of modern women—unruly, self-willed, unreasonable, and only know how to ask for things without being considerate.And this is precisely the portrayal of the marriage between Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang. Zhu Houzhao, he lives in such a family. His mother is strong and domineering, and his father is cowardly and tears wash his face all day long.If this child's brain is not very bright, it's fine, but he is very smart, his emotional intelligence is not generally high, and he has insight into the subtleties of interpersonal relationships.Whenever he walks into his parents' bedroom, he will immediately feel his mother's aggressive and powerful aura. Under the oppression of this aura, his father is nothing, and has been compressed to the point where people feel infinitely pitiful and sympathetic. the point.

Regarding the image of Zhu Youtang, there is also a standard title in modern society-a wimp! No matter how much a man has achieved in life, once the woman has the upper hand in the family, the man must be completely useless. In Zhu Houzhao's family, his father, Zhu Youtang, is the son of heaven, and his mother should be satisfied if she can marry such a person—if you want to think this way, then you really don't understand women too well.It has been said that women are irrational, in short, they are unreasonable.So why are women so unreasonable?Because once a woman speaks the truth, she is not cute, and cuteness is a woman's instinct, a soft weapon for women to conquer men.So women must never be reasonable, absolutely will not be reasonable, and there is absolutely no need to be reasonable.

Unreasonable and arrogant, this is the original psychology of Zhang's indulgence of his two younger brothers.Just imagine, apart from this incident, what other reason could she find to not talk about it?As the son of heaven, the husband is rich all over the world. No matter what the request is, he can meet it in a reasonable way. If you are not reasonable, you can only be strange, run amok, and get mixed up with the underworld.In addition, Zhang really has no way to reflect her woman's taste. What we want to say is that the young Zhu Houzhao saw all of these clearly and clearly. Psychology tells us that in any family where men succeed in their careers and women gain the upper hand with their arrogance, the children who grow up will have a sense of intellectual superiority.What this sense of superiority brings is to see through the boredom and troubles of the world of mortals.

Zhu Houzhao is such a person. He sees too clearly and understands too much. He can't even find the joy of exploring anything in front of him.This kind of life is like a person living in a heap of ants without intelligence, which is really meaningless. There are too many cases to prove this point, so let’s pick one at random—Li Jian, the eunuch guarding Linqing, was stopped by the imperial censor Wang Xu because of the lawlessness of his domestic slaves. Taking advantage of Wang Xu's unpreparedness, he slammed into it, knocking Wang Xu to the ground.Then Li Jian ran to Zhu Houzhao in grief and indignation, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me, that damned dog official Wang Xu, he failed to blackmail me, and even hit me with the head..." Guess Zhu Houzhao How did you answer?

At that time, Zhu Houzhao just gave Li Jian a blank look, and said with a sneer, "Come on, it must be because you have asked for him but not been satisfied. Forgive him as a governor, how dare he bully you?" Li Jian was horrified when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything again. This imperial court, these officials, are simply equivalent to rogues in the market - let alone this, once people lose restraint, most of them will show the face of rogues.Just talking about Zhu Houzhao's wisdom, even Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Zong Taizu Zhao Kuangyin would not dare not admire him.

This is called seeing through.Once you see it through, what is the meaning of life?This is Zhu Houzhao's poor life.
