During this time, Zhu Ao has been practicing archery in his mansion, ignoring the rumors outside, he has long lost so much curiosity after living for two lifetimes, as long as it has nothing to do with him, even if the sky is pierced, he will not bother.

After Zhu Biao's funeral was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang began to devote himself to his work again. On this morning, Zhu Ao was still practicing archery as usual, under the service of Dai Nu and Huai'en, when someone suddenly came to the palace, saying that the emperor was going to summon the prince.

Zhu Ao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly cleaned up and entered the palace with the eunuchs who came, he knew that the will to change himself to the king of Su was about to come down. Along the way, Zhu Ao repeatedly pondered his rhetoric, hoping that Lao Zhu could agree to his request, after all, there would be no such shop in this village.

Zhu Ao followed the eunuch all the way to the Jinshen Palace, and before he entered the door, he heard the lively discussion inside. Presumably Lao Zhu is testing the princes again.

After the report, Zhu Ao entered the Jinshen Palace, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Erchen to see his father." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with his usual kind eyes and said, "Get up." Where did we just go? Go on. ”

Zhu Yunwen straightened his clothes and arched his hand: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks that the reason for Li Mi's failure is nothing more than two points: the first is to kill Zhai Rang and lose the hearts of everyone in Wagangzhai; The second is to get close to the villain and alienate the virtuous ministers, causing the hearts of the people to be scattered and the people to rebel against their relatives. ”

At this time, Zhu Yunwen has been made the grandson, as the heir to the throne, it is necessary for him to show his profound insights, first, to reassure Lao Zhu, and second, to convince the public.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yuanzhang listened to his grand discussion, his face was not very good, and he even had a trace of dissatisfaction.

Yun Wei is still too young, he mixes with those rotten Confucians all day long, his brain is funny, no wonder Lao Zhu is dissatisfied in his heart, he knows very well in his heart, if he listens to those rotten Confucians, he doesn't know how many times he has lost it in the world. Throughout his life, Lao Zhu was very contemptuous of literati, because he knew very well in his heart that if this group of people who did not practice just talking and practicing were allowed to prevail, the Ming Dynasty would come to an end.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that the public opinion of the world is in the hands of this group of people, if you offend them, they don't know how much dirty water they will pour on you, the most typical ones are Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian, they were originally a pair of golden boys and girls, and they were stunned to make people spread rumors into that kind of virtue.

So Zhu Yuanzhang had to get some famous literati to raise them, so that they could sing praises for themselves. But Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that the pillar of the country had never been this group of people. The so-called wise people will be defeated; If there are few people who exert themselves, the country will be poor. The strength of the country depended on the armies who fought for him - so he established the guard system, allowing the hereditary rank of officers; and the grain chiefs and lieutenant chiefs who were fighting on the front line of taxation - so he gave these people some privileges, and was very concerned about their work, and often met with the crown prince Zhu Biao.

There is a grain chief named Yan Zhenzhi, who sends grain to Beijing on time every year, never delays, Zhu Yuanzhang admires him very much, and specially seals him a five-grade official, and later becomes the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Whether a family is prosperous or not depends on savings and property. Whether a country is strong or not depends on the grain stocks in the treasury and the armaments of the border defenses, and it has a Mao relationship with those literati.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang values those doers who work hard to farm, collect taxes, and fight wars, and he despises these literati talkers who can only talk about it.

When the great heroes were feuded, the third-class titles of the prince and the marquis were all military generals except for Liu Bowen, a wise man. Although Li Shanchang is not a military general, his main job is to raise grain and grass for Zhu Yuanzhang to feed the army, and he is also a doer, Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiao He. Zhu Yuanzhang ranked him first, which shows that he attaches great importance to money and food. By the way, Liu Bowen's title is ranked after everyone, which shows the contribution of this military division to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen's words obviously missed the point, killing Zhai Rang will lose? Lao Zhu also killed Han Lin'er and Guo Zixing's son. Who has achieved great things in ancient times who is a benevolent and righteous gentleman? As long as you have your own iron-clad team to control the situation, what if some people are not convinced? Kill them and send their own people to take over, that is, if Butcher Zhang and Butcher Li die, how can they eat hairy pigs? Who wouldn't turn without the earth?

As for getting close to the villain and staying away from the virtuous minister, it is even more ridiculous, in the concept of Confucianism, anyone who does not keep in line with them is a villain. But in Zhu Yuanzhang's concept, anyone who works hard for him is a virtuous minister; Those stinky old nine who don't do anything and stare at you and always find fault with you are virtuous ministers? What's the use of having these people other than disgusting yourself?

Zhu Yunwen also noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but he didn't know what he was wrong with, so he could only stand there stunned. What he said is the teachings of the saints of the past, how could grandpa be unhappy?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at everyone and said, "What about you?" What are the insights? ”

Zhu Yunwen's good friend Huang Zicheng immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the grandson said is very true. The sage cloud's body is upright, and he does not give orders. If the body is not right, although the order is not good. Li Mi was an unrighteous person, so everyone rebelled and left, and it was natural for him to be defeated. In Huang Zicheng's view, Zhu Yunwen is completely in line with the Confucian standard of a virtuous monarch, and he is proud of the excellent heirs he has cultivated for the empire, and he must stand up to defend Yunwen at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even more ugly, it was you rotten Confucians who taught Lao Tzu's grandson badly, how many people did Meng Yuan kill when he invaded China, and their bodies were right? Don't you have to obey orders under the saber?

Shu Xiucai Zhu Chun stood up and said: "What the grandson said has a certain truth, but according to Erchen, it is also related to Li Mi's position. Li Mi perished under the attack of Wang Shichong and Yu Wenhua, and if he faced the same enemy as Li Yuan, he might ......."

He couldn't go on talking anymore, because he suddenly thought that his old son Zhu Yuanzhang was also under the attack of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng back then, didn't he win the same way?

Zhu Ao looked at all this in front of him, and knew that his opportunity had come, and in later generations, he had also studied the wonderful history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he also had his own opinions on Li Mi's failure, of course, much more profound than Zhu Yunwen, a hairy child.

Zhu Ao was about to speak, but suddenly stopped again. Damn, I almost made a big mistake again. Zhu Yunwen is a prince, and he will be the emperor in the future, is it really good to slap him in the face in this public? If he takes today's events in mind and comes up to cut himself first, won't it be all over?

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were so sharp, he naturally saw Zhu Ao's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and said, "Old Fourteen, what do you have to say?" ”

Damn, I have to say it if I don't say it, in order to leave a good impression on Lao Zhu, I can't take care of not offending this eldest nephew. Zhu Ao took a step forward, made a gesture, and said, "Father, the son thinks what the grandson said is very reasonable. But Erchen thought that in addition to the two points that Taisun said, there was another point. ”

"What else?" Lao Zhu looked at the fourteenth prince who had been unknown with a little joy.

Zhu Ao put his hand in his hand and said word by word: "Open the warehouse and release the grain." ”

"What?" Huang Zicheng was the first to quit, and jumped out and said: "Li Mi's opening of the warehouse to release grain is a benevolent and righteous move, so that he can capture the hearts of the people, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, what is wrong?" ”

Zhu Ao glanced at this rotten Confucian, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and found that Lao Zhu was staring at him intently, and seemed to be very interested in his own point of view, so he mustered up the courage and said: "Those who submit to Li Mi are not here for Li Mi, but for grain. Li Mi captured the big granary of Luokoucang, and did not send people to effectively manage it, and then used it as the capital for his own recruitment, but opened the door of the warehouse and let others take grain. Those hungry people and bandits, after taking the food, patted their butts and left. When the eagle is full, it will flutter its wings and fly high, and when people are full, they will not want to play with their lives. Li Mi did not gain an increase in strength because of the capture of the granary, but only got the false name of a 'alliance leader'. ”
