Chapter 134 How much is the longevity of the Ming Dynasty?

The prince was always in front of Zhu Qizhen.

The Queen Mother's last words, although he was not very clear at the time, but these days he has been thinking about it from time to time and has some feelings, and at this moment he always adheres to a mentality of being taught.

It's like an interview all the time.

So Zhu Qizhen's every word, every action, every look. The prince figured it out in his heart, then analyzed his intentions, and then thought about how he should deal with it, so that his father could be satisfied.

You can't do things on top.

There are too many things in history where the prince and the emperor have political disagreements, what is the result?

I can't be too obedient, if my father thinks that I, the crown prince, am mediocre and unbearable, what should I do?

Heavenly father and son get along like this.

The prince was shocked by the huge amount of information carried on these three maps, and he couldn't tell how much effective confidence he had for a while.

Zhu Qizhen didn't mean to embarrass him, and said: "People have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, and if people are like this, so is the country." ”

"Since I ascended the throne, it has been quite peaceful, but I have always thought again, how many years can I live in the Ming Dynasty? But when I think about it, if I don't make changes, it's going to be around 200 to 300 years. ”

"The two Hans, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty are all like this."

"Only Zhou has 800 years in the world. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States also have hundreds of years of national ancestry, what is the reason for this? ”

"It lies in feudalism, and the feudal policy is used in the country, which is a great harm, but it is enough to extend the country's fortune when it is used in the border wilderness."

The crown prince immediately said: "This is the original intention of my father to formulate the feudal policy. ”

This handful, leaving no traces, is just right.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Not bad. ”

"Annexation is a big bad thing for the country, once the annexation is drastic, the rich have the land of Lianlong, the poor have no place to stand, there are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's generation, and with a wave of their arms, it is a situation of collapse."

"And today's merger situation, how about it, you have walked through Jiangnan."

The crown prince frowned suddenly.

The crown prince personally walked through the south of the Yangtze River, and the land annexation in the south of the Yangtze River is not the most serious in the world, but the most serious annexation in the world is Jiangxi and Fujian. But there are already signs of it.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "The founding of the Ming Dynasty has been less than 100 years, and it is already like this, and the speed of mergers will only get faster and faster in the future. Three hundred years is already an overestimate. ”

"Moreover, the world is peaceful and the population is growing, but the land is not much more than at the beginning of the founding of the country, and even if it increases in the future, it will not be able to match the rate of population increase."

"Both of these determine the fate of a nation."

"Therefore, if you want the long-term peace and stability of the country, you must not immigrate to feudalism."

The prince said: "It's just that in this way, if the situation in the future is like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty-----? ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said: "But it's not what I thought, as you said, the richest land in the world is in the Ming Dynasty, and there is only a corner of the wasteland. It's nothing more than asking the overseas kings of the Zhu family, if you are competitive, don't let the Central Plains fall into the side family. ”

"Let's not talk about it, after talking about feudal things, and then looking at Shi Heng's things, what do you think?"

The crown prince Zhu Jianjun suddenly realized for a while, and said: "Father wants Shi Heng to establish a country in the Western Regions? ”

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "It depends on how Shi Heng decides." To tell the truth, Taizu killed heroes back then, although these people all had a way to die, but they were still mean. ”

"Shi Heng has made great contributions to the country, no matter how I kill him, in the eyes of outsiders, it is that the heavenly family has no way to tolerate people, so that if there is a national crisis in the future, if there is a meritorious general, I am afraid that I will be suspicious."

"Therefore, if this general can not kill, he will not kill, and if he can preserve, he will be preserved."

"This is the state system, don't listen to some sour Confucianism, although Confucianism governs the country, but the real protection of the country is still the military generals. He must be given a way out. ”

"If he is really capable, my family is Zhou, and he is the same, why not?"

The State of Qi was Jiang Ziya's feudal state, although it was later taken by Chen. But Qi is also the overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said to the crown prince: "Remember that as an emperor, the most important thing you need to know is that you are a monarch and not a minister, don't compete with the courtiers, and don't be afraid that the courtiers will be rewarded for nothing." ”

The prince said, "The child understands. ”

In fact, he didn't know that he understood the sentence of Da Ming's favoritism, but he didn't know what the world of great controversy was, but he seemed to have understood it in his heart.

For example, in the battle between the Ming Dynasty and Annan Langshan, nearly a million troops competed and beheaded 300,000, not to mention the battle to destroy Korea, the battle to break the tile, and now the battle of the Western Expedition.

The number of people mobilized is not a small number.

It makes sense to say that this is a world of great controversy.

It's just that he didn't know that Zhu Qizhen meant that the Age of Discovery, which was flourishing on the east coast of the Atlantic. It was the glorious age of all navigators.

Columbus is preparing for his round-the-world voyage again and again, hitting walls everywhere, but the day when he will come to the Philippines is not far off.

The sound of the horn of the Great Voyage came from the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean to Daming, and only Zhu Qizhen could hear the opening gong of this great battle.

The crown prince didn't dwell on this, but said cautiously: "Father, you are really magnanimous to the prince of Zhongguo, but you seem to be a little ------ to Mr. Liu."

Zhu Qizhen listened, frowned slightly and said, "It seems that something is wrong?" ”

The prince heard that Zhu Qizhen's tone was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, so it was difficult to take them back, so he simply said: "Mr. Liu's gaffe today is just a momentary mistake, why should my father bother with it?" Let him get the name of a minister. ”

The crown prince has always had a good relationship with the Confucian ministers.

It can be said that almost all the scholars were loyal to the crown prince.

Of course, this kind of loyalty to the prince is not to support the prince and Zhu Qizhen, but out of etiquette, they spare no effort to maintain the status of the prince, don't doubt their determination.

And Liu Qiu is a very charismatic person.

Otherwise, he would not have become the leader of the Great Ming Shilin.

Above all morals, he is impeccable. Be honest and honest, and never show favoritism. In political affairs, he is even more sympathetic to the people, and has committed many direct admonitions, especially the impeachment of Wang Zhen. It is even more famous all over the world.

He is also old, senior, and highly respected, and the world calls him a veteran and important minister.

When the prince was in the main hall, Liu Qiu also went to give a lecture.

Therefore, the prince also admires Liu Qiu. I think it's his division commander.

Today's incident, Zhu Qizhen does not seem to have punished Liu Qiu, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Qiu, a scholar, has come to an end, and he must recuperate at home in the future.

Then one day, the emperor thought that Liu Qiu's illness was too serious to be a director, and he found another one to replace him. Liu Qiu justifiably withdrew from the political arena.

If the emperor is a little more ruthless, let the imperial doctor hint at Liu Qiu. Liu Qiu could only be sick to death.

Emperor Chongzhen can kill cabinet ministers like killing dogs, how can Zhu Qizhen not be able to sit down, it's just that he doesn't want to do this.

Zhu Qizhen was very wary of the prince's attitude.

Without him, if the previous prince's attitude was before, Zhu Qizhen might not be too vigilant. Because Zhu Qizhen has always wanted to promote the slow change of the Ming policy, it is a gradual reform, not a stormy change.

In this case, although Zhu Qizhen has cooperation and conflicts with the Shidafu Group, on the whole, there are more cooperation than conflicts.

But now Zhu Qizhen's mind has changed.

Once the reform is officially launched, Zhu Qizhen will not regard the Shidafu Group as an undying enemy, because this is impossible.

Some changes in Jiangnan have been explained before.

The Shidafu group is a vine wrapped around the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult to uproot this group unless this machine is smashed.

So even if Zhu Qizhen starts to change the law, he will not have this arrogant idea.

However, Zhu Qizhen and the civilian, official, and doctor group, for a long time, conflict is greater than cooperation is inevitable.

Even the conflict between the two sides will be so acute that it will be impossible to fill in a few or more lives. At this time, if the prince gets too close to the civil officials and doctors, it will make Zhu Qizhen very embarrassed.

On the whole, Zhu Qizhen is still very satisfied with the crown prince Zhu Jianjun. And after all, he is his own son, he doesn't want to take an irreparable step between father and son, so he said: "What do you think of the Wujin Yun family?" ”
