Chapter 164: Come with me to the Northwest
Zhu Youzhu naturally knew what his son meant, so he taught his son respectfully: "Emperor, you have to remember that as a monarch, you can't abolish the public because of private affairs, let alone waste food because of choking, the court is so big, it is impossible to do everything by temperament, you must learn to do the right thing at the right time, this is the way to be a king." ”
Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao said in a respectful voice: "Erchen has been taught!" ”
I learned another trick from my father.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youzhu have been together for so long, and he actually roughly figured out his father's thoughts and personality. There are two things that are different from my father, one is tired of trouble, and the other is soft-hearted and emotional. It's troublesome, and this is reflected in Daddy's handling of things.
Whether it is the Tang Bohu incident or the Qin Hong incident, the two sides of the father each play a big board, settle the matter, and say the golden mean at the top of the road, and the mud at the bottom.
The Tang Bohu incident is a compromise, and the Qin Hong incident is still a compromise, since Qin Hong is innocent, then why should he be dismissed? Did what he did in Guangdong be done in vain? Liu Jing's matter Zhu Houzhao didn't want to say anything, you took care of your personal feelings and cut his title, this is your emperor's business, but you can't abolish the public for personal reasons.
Can Qin Hong not be disposed of? Can it even be rewarded? Daddy didn't, just hit a big board each.
The reason for this treatment, then the second point of the father has to be said, that is, the importance of feelings, which may be caused by his experience since childhood, and the lack of character makes him attach special importance to feelings, which can be seen from his mother's affairs. The matter of Liu Jing can be seen even more, and when Empress Dowager Zhou interceded, he couldn't give up.
There may be something to do with not wanting to provoke a war between civilian officials and nobles, but if it were Zhu Houzhao, he would definitely not do it.
The civil official is not good, there is a problem, but the honorable side is fine? Not only is it a moth of the country, but also the mud can't support the wall, you can look at the military strength of the Ming Dynasty over the years and this time in the northwest, these people can't be relied on at all, this is not a problem that can be solved with mud, but Dad's attitude towards Qin Hong is worth learning from Zhu Houzhao.
When you are an emperor, you have to be thick-skinned and can't be rash, Zhu Houzhao thinks that he just knows this, and the rest doesn't have to learn from his father.
"Will Qin Hong go?" Zhu Hou looked at his father and asked with some hesitation, this was really what he was worried about.
First of all, Qin Hong was wronged, and he felt uncomfortable, and secondly, he went to the northwest, which is not a good errand, and now the situation in the northwest, you say that it is a mess, and there is no problem at all. The most important thing is that Qin Hong is seventy-six years old this year, and such an old man is almost the same as having no desires and no desires, not that half of the loess is buried, but that he has been buried to his neck.
Zhu Youzhu looked at his son, sighed lightly, and said slowly after a long time: "He will go!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was silent, if Qin Hong really went, then what was supporting him? The answer is simple, it is his love for the land, his love for the country.
Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao nodded, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Father, my sons also want to go!" ”
Listening to his son's words, Zhu Youzhu didn't show any surprise, just glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then nodded lightly: "I guessed it a long time ago, it's hard for you to say it until now!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was silent again, obviously his careful thinking couldn't hide his father at all, Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to continue.
"You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, you are skilled in archery and horses, and you have learned the art of war, I have seen the soldiers you trained in Xiyuan, and they have practiced very well, and I knew at that time that you don't want to be like me as an emperor who can only be in the palace. I know that you want to learn from Emperor Taizong, I know that you have great ambitions in your heart, and the northwest is erosive, and you want to go to me very well in my heart. ”
Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said with a self-deprecating smile on his face: "It's because my father didn't do a good job, so that the emperor can worry about state affairs at such a young age." ”
"Father!" Zhu Houzhao's voice was slightly dry and said, "Erchen, Erchen just wants to." ”
Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said with a smile: "Father understands, listening to what you said, Father knows that you are worried, you are afraid, you are worried about the future of Daming, you are afraid of Daming, I don't know why you are so afraid, but I know that you are afraid." ”
Zhu Houzhao was silent, of course he was afraid, because he knew what this land would experience in the future, what kind of pain it was.
Every later generation, when it comes to the death of the Ming Dynasty, they all mourn their misfortune and hate it, and when they talk about the history of blood and tears in modern times, they are all full of tears and can't let go.
What Zhu Houzhao wants to do is not the survival of the Ming Dynasty, nor the imperial foundation of future generations, there is no permanent dynasty in the world, there is no sustainable imperial foundation, but he does not want this land to experience everything that he experienced in his previous life. Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at Zhu Youjiao, bowed down and said, "Father, I shouldn't be like this!" ”
"I should be the sun and the moon shine on all the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the sun will never set on the territory of the Ming Dynasty. I should open and close vertically and horizontally, invincible in the world, fearless, and far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties! Emperor Taizu expelled Hulu, restored China, established Chen Ji, relieved the people, Emperor Taizong conquered Mongolia five times, invincible the world, and his ministers were willing to inherit the legacy of Taizu Taizong. ”
Looking at Zhu Houzhao with a serious face, Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly, and said with a slight redness in his eyes: "My son has great ambitions, good, very good!" ”
"Go to the northwest, listen more, watch more, learn more, learn more, learn from Zu Li, don't learn from Zhao Kuo, you are still young, you will definitely be able to do everything you say!"
Zhu Houzhao was in a turbulent mood, but he still said with a serious face: "Father, rest assured, the son will definitely not disappoint his father!" ”
Zu Ti, the source of the idiom of smelling the rooster and dancing, the general Zu Ti of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very ambitious when he was young, every time he talked about the current situation with his friend Liu Kun, he was always impassioned and full of righteous indignation, in order to serve the country, they heard the rooster crowing in the middle of the night, they got up in their clothes, drew their swords and practiced martial arts, and exercised hard. Spring goes to winter, cold comes and summer, never stops.
After a long period of hard study and training, they finally became all-rounders who can write and martial arts.
Zu Ti and Liu Kun finally realized their ideal of serving the country, and there is a sentence in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness": Or to cross the river, generously swallow Hu Qi. It's Zu Ti.
The meaning of Zhu Youzhang's sentence is to tell Zhu Houzhao that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, as for Zhao Kuo, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to comment, he felt that Zhao Kuo was quite wronged anyway, and whether the battle of Changping could be won was not just a problem of Zhao Kuo alone, but the problem of the entire Zhao State, Qin and Zhao faced off on the Changping battlefield for more than three years before the decisive battle took place.
In the previous three years of confrontation, the Zhao army has been commanded by the veteran Lian Po, and the reason why the veteran Lian Po is on the defensive is because he can't defeat the Qin army. King Zhao decided to temporarily change the commander because Zhao's national strength could no longer support it. At that time, even the Qin State appeared: men were fighting, women were lucky, and the granary in Guanzhong was empty. What's more, the Zhao State, whose national strength is far inferior to Qin, even if the King of Zhao does not change his commander and let Lian Po continue to confront, it will definitely be the Zhao army that collapses first.
The national strength is not as good as the people, no matter how you fight, the war is the national strength, especially the protracted war, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that the national strength is not good, and the war of attrition cannot be fought.
But the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is not fake, it is not true, in fact, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, there is no country in the world that can survive the Ming Dynasty.
Mongolia in northern Xinjiang, as long as the Ming Dynasty sends 50,000 cavalry to wander back and forth on the grassland every year, chasing their butts and beating them, not giving them time to graze, and not giving them the environment to stay in the pasture, they will definitely collapse within three years. Not to mention the military strength and people's hearts, their economic conditions will collapse first, and they will not have anything to eat, so what kind of war will they fight.
When the time comes, what they can do is either to move to Mobei, or to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, or to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely no third way to go.
"If you have money, I'll do it!" Zhu Hou took a picture of the Qianqing Palace, and he thought so in his heart.
Back in his Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and instructed Liu Jin: "Go, bring Wang Shouren to the palace." ”
Wang Shouren was asked to go to the East Palace by Zhu Houzhao, it can be said that he has nothing to do all day, Zhu Houzhao is also busy these days, and there is a lot of trouble in salt politics and other things, which makes Zhu Houzhao too concerned about Wang Shouren. Of course, Wang Shouren is not an idle person, you are busy, he is also busy, he will find his own work to do, these days he goes to the most is the military camp in Xiyuan.
Every time Zhu Houzhao went to the western suburbs to practice with those soldiers, Wang Shouren must be there, and sometimes he practiced together.
Zhu Houzhao has seen Wang Shouren's riding skills and archery, which is really good, if he has practiced martial arts since childhood, maybe the great Confucian will be gone, but there will be one more battlefield general.
When Wang Shouren was found by Zhu Houzhao, he didn't know what to do in his heart, he was thinking about his own affairs, and he had also heard about the affairs of the northwest, and he was wondering if he would go to the northwest for an event? It's really not interesting here in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good, but I'm wasting my years here!
"Coming?" Zhu Hou glanced at Wang Shouren, then nodded and said, "I have something to look for you." ”
Wang Shouren bowed slightly and said, "Please give orders to Your Highness!" ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "This palace has already asked my father for an order, this time this palace will lead the people of Xiyuan to the three sides, this palace wants to take you with me, and the other three governors have already decided, it is Qin Hong, by the way, it's no problem for you to go together, right?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to the three sides? When Wang Shouren heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "The minister is no problem, when will he leave?" ”
"Let's go tomorrow!" Zhu Houzhao said without thinking about it.
