Chapter 7: The Great Discussion in the Hall of Worship – The Beginning
Then comes the 19th of July, a historic date that will go down in history today, and many years from now, young people will ask about it with reverence...... To put it simply, when Yun Xi once again interrupted Yun Wei, who had basically recovered from his body, to read a book and enthusiastically exchanged his views on Xu Shouhui and Li Jinglong and planned to end, the eunuch sent by Zhu Yuanzhang came to Wenyuan Pavilion and called Yun Xi and Yun Xi to go to the Jinshen Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yun Xi was taken aback at that time, well, Yun Xi was also taken aback, and Concubine Lu was also taken aback. The Jinshen Hall is the place where Lao Zhu deals with the folds or meets the minister on a daily basis, and I don't know if it was just the two of us or someone else. If it were just the two of us, it would be too clear. Concubine Lu and Yun Wei obviously thought of it, but it was useless to think about it at this time, Concubine Lu hurriedly instructed the little eunuch to change Yun Wei from the regular clothes at home to clothes for going out, Yun Xi did not need to change the clothes he was wearing now, and when Yun Wei was dressed, they set off together, and after a long time of walking (no way, the palace is very large, everyone who has been to the Forbidden City knows it, and the young royal family generally does not have the treatment of riding a horse and riding a sedan chair), and the two came to the palace together. This is Yun Xi, the second time he came here since he can remember, the last time he came here was when he was a child, about the fifteenth or sixteenth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu asked all his grandsons to go to review the army, and then waited for the children to come back while dealing with the folds here, Zhu Gaochi also won Lao Zhu's laughter with his cute and cute performance.
Far away, Yun Xi and Yun Xi walked into the hall, and under the leadership of the little eunuch, they walked into the East Pavilion House where Lao Zhu often came to meet the minister. Yun Xi's eyes swept away, fortunately, there are still two uncles in the palace, such as Zhu Rong, the second uncle of Qin, Zhu Li, the third uncle, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, Zhu Bo, the seventh uncle, Zhu Bo, the king of Qi, Zhu Chun, the eleventh uncle, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, the twelfth uncle, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, Zhu Quan, the seventeenth uncle, and Zhu Gaochi, the prince of the king of Yan, and others, did not only summon the two of them, otherwise Yun Xi was really afraid that Concubine Lu would take risks to kill him in order to be foolproof.
Lao Zhu shouldn't have talked about any sensitive topics, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite relaxed. Seeing them come in, Lao Zhu gently beckoned them to sit down, and after Yun Xi and Yun Xi finished greeting, he asked, "What did you two talk about today?" Obviously, Lao Zhu knows that Yun Xi will go to see Yun Xi every day at this point.
Yun Wei, as the elder brother, replied: "Today Yun Xi and I first discussed the merits of the late King of Zhongshan (Xu Da) and the late King of Qiyang (Li Wenzhong), and later discussed the merits of the current Duke of Wei and Duke Cao. ”
Lao Zhu then asked: "Then who do you think is more capable of commanding troops, Xu, Guangjun, Zu or Li Jinglong?" Yun Xi replied: "The second brother thinks that Cao Guogong has trained troops many times in HN and other places, which is quite praised, and he is more capable than Wei Guogong; However, Sun Er believes that Wei Guogong has been a true biography of Wuning since he was a child, he is calm in trouble, good to the public, quite a general, and has a lot of experience, while Cao Guogong is an arbitrary, but he thinks a lot, and he is afraid that it is not easy to grasp the fighter in the battle. ”
Of course, what Yun Xi said was not his own opinion! This is all by looking at Li Jinglong's performance and the above evaluation in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "History of the Ming Dynasty", and then summed it up in his own words, which is absolutely very correct! He hasn't said anything too ugly, such as 'talking about it and competing with his subordinates' or something. The main reason is that he is not very suitable for the role of the emperor and grandson, and the modern ordinary people dare to offend the rich and powerful! I'm afraid that I will offend Li Jinglong by saying it too harshly.
After listening to his words, Lao Zhu didn't react, turned his head and asked others: "What do you think?" "Yun Xi's uncles and uncles and brothers don't have these concerns about him, for them, two courtiers are just two courtiers, even if they say something wrong, what can they do? Zhu Baixian, the king of Xiang, said: "The son thinks that what Yun Xi said is reasonable, and the son has also gone to the north to fight with Xu, Guangjun, and Zu, no matter how large-scale the battle is, Xu, Guangjun, and Zu have investigated the situation in advance, and prepared for various situations. And Li Jinglong's boastful talk may not be on paper. ”
Zhu Bo, the king of Qi, also said: "That Li Jinglong's oily and powdery boy looks like Zhao Kuo; Xu, Guangjun, and Zu are calm and look like generals. Yun Xi also snorted, didn't he say that Zhu Bo was lustful and greedy for money, and the prince was very mediocre, it turned out that he was quite accurate.
Subsequently, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and others also expressed their opinions, some thought that Xu, Guangjun, and Zu were more powerful, some thought that Li Jinglong was more powerful, and some thought it was similar. The others Yun Xi didn't care, so they paid attention to Zhu Quan and Zhu Gaochi, but they didn't expect that both of them thought that Li Jinglong was more powerful. Zhu Gaochi can also understand that he does not have much reputation in later generations; Zhu Quan disappointed him too much, "King Ning is good at planning" is at this level of looking at people, no wonder Yan Wang easily fooled him when he was in trouble!
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to their discussion with a smile on his face, and did not say a word that could express his thoughts, everyone said a few words to each other, and the topic gradually deviated, mainly because the topic was too limited. Just before the topic deviated to an unknown topic that was not suitable for children, Yun Xi asked, "Grandpa Huang, what were the uncles talking about before?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, said: "Last year, there were many barbarian rebellions in YN, and this year from April, Handong (probably in the GS Dunhuang to Jiuquan generation), Duyun (in GZ Bijie (in GZ Jianchangwei (SC and other places, barbarians and Mengyuan generals rebelled one after another. Because of the huge amount of money spent on the march of the army, some ministers in the court proposed to give up these barbarian lands and appease them so that they would not cause trouble. The father asked everyone to share their thoughts, and the discussion had just begun. ”
Before Yun Xi finished listening to King Qin's words, there was a sentence that he almost blurted out: 'Although the land of the Ming Empire is large, not an inch is superfluous. As a new generation of socialist successors who have undergone years of patriotic education and care about current affairs, although there is no class to take over, he still opposes any loss of territory, and it is likely that the Ming Empire will be able to take over, let alone agree to any act of abandoning territory. Yun Xi wasted a lot of strength to hold back and not speak first, organizing the organizational language.
Yun Xi thought about what to say, and secretly scolded the shameless Wenchen who played the fold, although he didn't know who was on the fold. At this time, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, said: "Just now the seventh brother and the eleventh brother said that if the army cannot be attacked for a long time, in order to save money, they should be allowed to be vassals, and the army should be withdrawn and pacified in detail, but the younger brother disagreed. ”
"If the army withdraws and allows them to be vassals, they will think that I am afraid of them, and they must be even more arrogant, killing people and poisoning the border people, it is better to defeat their arrogance at one time, so that they will be afraid of it."
The thoughts of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, are very much in line with the core values of socialism and the chauvinism of the great powers, and it is very much in line with my appetite, yes, Yun Xi thought. Subsequently, Zhu Bo refuted a few more words, and King Jin and others also said a few words, all of which were very simple, and some people were still very hesitant, obviously because their own views were not yet certain.
The uncle's end is over, it's time for the junior. As the largest of all the people who existed in the fire generation, Yun Wei was the first to speak.
Yun Wei said: "What several uncles said has its own truth, most of the barbarian people on the border are people who are afraid of power and not virtuous, and those who have already surrendered to my Ming Dynasty should be suppressed, otherwise the border people will be poisoned; However, the terrain on the western border is complex and mountainous, and it is not easy for the army to march, and it often takes a long time to suppress the rebellion, and it is difficult to achieve all the results. ”
Hearing Yun Xi's last sentence, Yun Xi suddenly thought of a modern summary of ideas in his mind, but he couldn't organize his language for a while, and in the face of Gao Chi's inquiring eyes, he motioned for him to speak first. Gao Chi was puzzled, but it was not a big deal, so he first said his opinion, probably the content is similar to Yun Wei, but it highlights that the country has been beaten by the emperor's grandfather, and the descendants can only defend the Northern Yuan from time to time. The others listened to Yun Wei and Gao Chi's words, and they also felt that it was very reasonable, and many people nodded slightly, including the big boss Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everyone has finished speaking, only Yun Xi has not yet spoken (in fact, it is okay not to speak, but how can Yun Xi, who has ideals and pursuits, not speak). Yun Xi coughed his throat, although everyone was not staring at him at this time, except that King Xiang and King Qi were a little against each other, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, but Yun Xi was still very nervous, after all, this was the first time he expressed his opinion in front of Lao Zhu, and it was likely to be his first public performance in competition for the position of prince.
Yun Xi took another deep breath, and tried to look at the empty place as much as possible, before saying, "Sun Er agrees with Uncle Twelve's point of view, but there are still differences; Just now, the second brother said that it is right to be cautious about the annexation of foreign tribes in the future, but it is not right to stick to the current territory in the future, and I still need to continue to expand the territory. ”
After listening to Yun Xi's words, everyone actually didn't feel much, but he was just another hawk; Lao Zhu frowned slightly, because this point of view is completely contrary to his philosophy, Lao Zhu hopes to leave a solidified, easy and relatively simple system for future generations, but if future generations continue to expand externally, since the Han Dynasty and all dynasties, most of the external expansion consumes a lot of national strength but has little effect, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Lao Zhu's point of view is reasonable, the Qin and Han dynasties have conquered the surrounding areas that are easy to conquer, forming the later traditional Han land, and the rest of the places are not easy to control, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to domesticate the barbarians in these places, or immigrated to the real side, but by the beginning of the Ming Dynasty did not have much effect. I'll talk about this in detail later, because what Yun Xi is going to say next is not from this point of view.
