Su Pei's eyes were resolute, her words even moved Zhu Si, and this kind of plan had existed in Zhu Si's mind for a long time. But it was still too sudden for a woman to say such a thing. But who is Su Pei? This is arguably the wisest woman in the world, and whether she is saying this for the benefit of her husband and children, or for the benefit of the world, her goal is right. Because the worldly law is like this, as long as it can include the interests of the majority of people, your law is the law of all people. As for whether this Fa is a change or not, who cares about him? How did Chinese civilization suffer catastrophe? Is it because we are closed off from the country, immersed in the dregs of Confucianism and do not want to make progress, or is it because of the famous saying 'I would rather give to friends than slaves'? Who is destroying my home and ruining our civilization?

Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang, the pasters of the Qing Dynasty, once said: "If the Qing Dynasty continues like this, the scholars and doctors will solidify their thinking, pay attention to the name and moderation and ignore the practice, and immerse themselves in the accumulation of chapters and sentences all day long, and the martial artists will be more stupid and not careful." So much so that all the civil and military cadres use what they have learned, and what they have learned is not used. If there is nothing to do, they will sneer at foreign sharp weapons as miracle techniques, thinking that they do not need to learn. Something happened to exclaim that foreign weapons were strange and magical, thinking that they could not be learned. "Is Li Zhongtang wrong?

Many of the changes fail because they choose the way they fail, rather than because they are in the wrong direction. But if we are afraid of wolves and tigers, and dare not change anything, in a hundred years, our descendants will be forced to change by the barbarians' strong ships and cannons. Either because we can get by, or because we have courage and no strategy, we will all be abandoned by the wheel of history. At the end of the day, you will still get the famous comment: "An old Lafayette, a plasterer, a declining empire, a declining navy, and a group of wolf-like powers and a bunch of chaotic parties that break up all day long." ”

In order not to disturb the two-person world of Zhu Si and Su Pei, Shu Yao and Mu Qing did not come to the West Palace until before lunch. After having lunch and approving the recitals, Zhu Si finished his day's work. The family is going to the Great Shan Hall again to greet the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. I also heard that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces had gone to the Imperial Garden, so they also came to the Imperial Garden together. When you arrive in the garden, the peach blossoms in the garden exude a fragrant fragrance, and the clumps of pink make people feel like they are in the clouds. Zhu Si and Su Pei were holding a queen mother, and Shu Yao and Mu Qing were also like this, and the four of them put the two old queen mothers in the middle. Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Ciye staggered in front of their heads, teasing the children, lingering in the flowers and plants, and chatting about family life. In this way, this family is really no different from ordinary peaceful people.

"Huang'er, unconsciously, Xuan'er is already three years old." "Yes, Queen Mother, this child didn't make you angry, did he?" "What's the matter, looking at him every day, happy and not happy enough, how can there be kung fu to be angry." "That's good, Erchen is busy all day, and with this child under the mother's knees, Erchen will have less self-blame."

The two mothers and sons chatted while walking, and Zhu Si had a hunch that the Queen Mother's words were not just commonplace. "Emperor, which one do you prefer, Xuan'er or Ye'er? And Wei'er and Yi'er, the two little guys, are also very cute. The Queen Mother asked a seemingly casual question, and Zhu Si also replied seemingly casually: "Queen Mother, these children are indeed very cute, and the children can't say which one they prefer." It's not which one can be the most filial to the emperor and his grandmother, and the sons and ministers prefer which one. ”

The Queen Mother pointed at Zhu Si and scolded with a smile: "Hehe, what a clever mouth!" Zhu Si said with a hippie smile: "The queen mother teaches well. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Speaking of educating children, in Lone's eyes, you and your brother are the most obedient, but Lone also knows that obedient children may not be good children, and it is difficult to become a big one." As for you, it seems that it is not obedience, but disguise. Zhu Siyan smiled and said yes, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng said: "When Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun instigated you to ascend the throne and become emperor, Lone said that you were not the material to be the emperor, but you didn't think about it, not only did you not listen to Lonely, you insisted on being the emperor, but also did a good job, seeing that the Ming Dynasty is about to have hope of recovery." Even if Lone went to see the old emperor and the ancestors today, he should close his eyes. With Wu'er's deeds, Lone can also be worthy of the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall. ”

Zhu Si said: "The queen mother is in good health, with white hair and red face, there is a way to be healthy and strong, and the queen mother can not only live a long life, but also bless her descendants." The Empress Dowager Cisheng shook her head and smiled: "You kid, you love to pick up some nice things." What kind of blessing descendants, as long as you don't dislike the two old bones of Gu and your mother, you will become old and immortal. "Every sentence that Erchen said is the truth, every time Erchen goes on an expedition, if there is no great event for the queen mother, he cannot take it, and he will be the mainstay of the vast ocean and the needle of the sea, where can Erchen put his heart at ease? What else is there to talk about restoring the ancestral inheritance? The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled: "Hehe, I'm lonely, and my spirit is insufficient." If it weren't for Pei'er, the kid, who helped with the cooking, everything could be taken care of in an orderly manner, and Gu didn't know how much to worry about. Zhu Sidao: "This is all thanks to the good teaching of the queen mother." The Queen Mother smiled and said: "If you want to teach, Lone loves to teach Xuan'er, a good grandson, as long as you can watch him every day, don't mention how happy you are." And Xuan'er, this kid, although naughty, is pure and kind-hearted, like you. ”

Zhu Si echoed: "That's, that's, thanks to the queen mother's teaching." "Huh? The naughty nature of your father and son was also taught by orphans? The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and Zhu Si hurriedly changed her words: "No, absolutely not, naughty temperament is innate, and this will change in the future." Yes, it must be changed! ”

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother found that Zhu Si had begun to pretend to be stupid, and she didn't mean to follow her words. The two were silent for a while, and the queen mother pretended to look at the flowers again, and Zhu Si understood that the queen mother still wanted him to say a word. Just pretending to be stupid can't get around the old lady's mind. Although the Queen Mother is a mother-in-law and not a biological mother, his mother-in-law has always given him unreserved support. Today seems to be asking Zhu Si which child he likes, and the topic has always revolved around children. But Zhu Si understood that the old queen mother was actually asking him about a big matter related to the future of the country - that is, Lichu. Although there is not a single word in the topic of the mother and son that mentions the issue of Lichu, what you and I say about the mother and son is what they exchange is their respective opinions on Lichu.
