"Your Majesty." Fang Xiaoru was excited, he was a good emperor, so humbly admonished, so benevolent and virtuous, so orderly according to the method left by the sage to govern the country, restraining himself, it is really commendable, looking through thousands of years of history books, such an emperor is not easy to find, he is glad and proud that he can meet such a master, he is determined to devote his talent and hard work to assist him, and he will create a Jianwen rule that belongs to their monarchs and ministers, and knelt down, His face was full of tears, and he said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

Zhu Yunwen never thought that Mr. Fang Xiaoru, a great Confucian who he had always respected, would give him such a big courtesy, immediately stepped down from the throne, walked to him in three steps and two steps, helped him up, and said very politely: "Sir, why bother? Hurry up, please say whatever you want, I will definitely listen to you. ”

Fang Xiaoru slowly stood up with the help of Zhu Yunwen, and made a gesture to Zhu Yunwen, then raised his eyes and looked straight at Fang Xiaoru, with a suspicious expression on his face and an expression to be determined: "I heard that the first emperor said to the emperor before he died: 'King Yan must not worry, King Su must not be unguarded', is this really the case?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Fang Xiaoru suddenly said this, he stretched out his hand to help him, motioned for him to be flat, and said with a suspicious expression on his face: "Is there such a thing, what does Mr. want to say?" ”

Fang Xiaoru's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he changed his previous appearance of Mr. Sven, like a fierce tiger, staring straight at Zhu Yunwen, and said, "Since this is the case, why doesn't Your Majesty take the opportunity of this envoy to Su to change the title of King Su to the mainland?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Yunwen never expected Fang Xiaoru to suddenly say this plan, his body shook slightly, and he said with a little surprise: "Is this okay?" King Su did a good job in the northwest and respected me very much, so what reason did he have to change his title to the mainland? ”

The corners of Fang Xiaoru's mouth suddenly hung a smug smile, he stood up straight, stroked his beard confidently and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven doesn't need a reason to change the title of a vassal king to another place. If His Majesty is afraid that King Su will not be satisfied, he can be named King Wu and let him change to Suzhou to become a vassal of the domain. First, this King Wu is the title of the king used by the first emperor before he became the emperor, it is very noble, and no one among the kings is qualified to use it, and awarding him to King Su is a great favor to King Su, and it is also a great honor for King Su, I believe he will not refuse. Second, after moving him to Suzhou, he could be monitored nearby, so that even if he had bad intentions, he would not dare to act rashly. As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he was very satisfied with his suggestion.

Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips, frowned, listened carefully to Fang Xiaoru's explanation of what he thought was the perfect strategy, and thought for a long time before he slowly raised his head, looked at Fang Xiaoru with soft and appreciative eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed: "Okay, just according to what Mr. said, let King Su come to Suzhou." He's been fighting for so long, and it's time to come back for a few days of peace. ”

"The emperor is wise." Fang Xiaoru saw that Zhu Yunwen adopted his suggestion, and he was very happy, the monarch obeyed his words, just like Liu Bei treated Zhuge Liang, what was he not satisfied with, secretly, he also began to boast of Zhuge Kongming, hoping to assist the monarch to create a prosperous era of Jianwen for future generations to admire, and made a gesture to Zhu Yunwen, and said: "The minister will go to draw up the decree, and let the envoy take it to Suguo another day." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, he saw Fang Xiaoru's pious expression, and his heart was very relieved, this is a loyal minister, a loyal minister should have basic etiquette for the emperor, like those vassal kings, he will call him at every turn, what does it look like, smiled slightly, and said with relief: "Okay." It's not too early, so let's go back and rest early after the gentleman has finished drafting the holy decree, so as not to get tired. ”

Fang Xiaoru felt a warm heart, his face smiled unconsciously, raised his eyes to look at the young king, and saw that his expression of caring so much about himself was so real, his heart couldn't help but flood with a torrent of rolling emotion, and said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, it is the honor of the minister to share the emperor's worries, and I don't feel hard." The minister retired. ”

After that, he made another gesture to Zhu Yunwen, slowly withdrew from the hall, and then went to Wenyuan Pavilion to draft the decree.

Zhu Yunwen sat quietly on the throne alone, carefully recalling what Fang Xiaoru just said, yes, some vassal kings are indeed too arrogant and domineering, and they have no court, and they must be severely punished, otherwise the prestige of the court will not work, and they will be hollowed out by the vassal kings in the local area.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen didn't know why he remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's earnest teaching before his death, not only before he died, Zhu Yuanzhang had said to Zhu Yunwen more than once before his death, you must have a good relationship with the vassal king, let them go with you to defend the Ming Dynasty, don't grasp a trivial matter to touch the fundamental interests of the vassal king, family members should always be more reliable than outsiders, and so on.

Is Grandpa Huang right? Zhu Yunwen sat on the throne alone, pressed his temples with both hands, and rubbed it hard a few times, and the two completely different remarks of Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Yuanzhang collided fiercely in his mind, a fierce struggle.

Those vassal kings are also direct royal relatives, don't they really want to be emperors? It is estimated that three-year-old children will not believe these words, and many of them have committed many illegal acts, if they are not severely punished, then how can they explain the past. The emperor's grandfather is too partial to them, since ancient times, if you want to achieve the great rule of the world, you have to reuse Wenchen, how can you reuse your own son? Isn't this typical cronyism?

These truths have been repeatedly told in the history books and the classics of the saints, I don't know how many times, why does the imperial grandfather always insist on going his own way?

Hey, forget it. I can't be harsh on the emperor's grandfather, after all, he came from a humble background, had few opportunities to study, and didn't understand the way of governing the country of these saints, which is also understandable, but since I am the emperor, it is my responsibility to get rid of the maladministration during his old man's reign, so that the Ming Dynasty can achieve a real prosperous era, a prosperous era of mutual trust rather than mutual suspicion, and a prosperous era comparable to three generations.

Zhu Yunwen let go of his temples, leaned heavily on the dragon chair, raised his head, breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly made up his mind: I want to be a good emperor like the virtuous monarchs recorded in the history books. Grandpa Huang, please watch in the spirit of heaven, your grandson will do better than you.

Zhu Yunwen just left Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings on his deathbed behind, and still blindly insisted on his own opinion, because it was the opinion he read from the sage's scriptures.

This situation is not the only time in the Ming Dynasty, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, before his death, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also said to Chongzhen seriously: "Wei Zhongxian is loyal to his duties and can calculate big things." Let him continue to reuse Wei Zhongxian after succeeding to the throne, but the first thing Chongzhen did after coming to power was to kill Wei Zhongxian, who was desperately trying to make money for the old Zhu family to enrich the treasury.

Zhu Di won the world because Zhu Yunwen did not listen to the advice of the emperor, and his descendant Chongzhen also lost the world because he did not listen to the advice of the emperor, which has to be said to be a kind of fate.

The reason is that Zhu Yunwen is too young, he was only twenty-one years old when he ascended the throne, and he has not yet passed that innocent age. Moreover, young people at this time have a unified problem - self-righteousness, and to put it in layman's terms, it is the second second.

They think that they have been admitted to a prestigious university, and their IQ will be absolutely explosive, and then they look down on their parents who are from rural areas and have no education, and do not listen to their advice that they let themselves take the civil service examination and take the bank examination to have a place to stand, and they have to believe the opinions of those rich people who like to sprinkle chicken soup on the Internet - they sold their houses to start a business, and they could only rush to their grandmother's house in the street.

You know, except for your loved ones, no one will tell you about their real success experience, because that is often not the light of day.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang's success depends on the implementation of the village grain, catching the strong men, hiding behind Liu Futong for obscene development, and luck against the sky, but these things are not visible, and they are written in the history books in a grand manner, which is greatly unfavorable to the wise image of him as the founding emperor, which will extinguish people's personality cult of him, and then affect the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after he became the emperor, he found a group of imperial literati to read another set of rhetoric, and wrote the reason for his success as talented, loyal to the leader, friendly to his subordinates, and loving the people, so he got their support, and won the country by virtue of his unborn military talent. A proper image of a wise and martial artist.

Especially the passage that Zhu Yuanzhang said before his death in "The Third History of the Ming Dynasty": "Shicheng is rich, friendship is strong, and I have nothing to worry about." Only do not love to kill, spread faithfulness, practice frugality, and work together with the Qing and others. "It's almost possible to kill the four major outfits in seconds - Xinyi is a fart in troubled times, besides, are there still fewer people killed by your old Comrade Zhu? I guess I can apply for the Dinis World Record.

Rich people sprinkle chicken soup on the Internet is also out of this mentality, they will not tell you their successful experience, you are not related to others, tell you, what if you become bigger than their industry? They will only tell one type of people, and that is their sons and daughters, their heirs.

Every word people say and do everything has a purpose, especially those rich people who are so shrewd that they smoke, they will not be idle and have nothing to do to go to the Internet to chat with you, to teach you how to make money, the reason why they sprinkle chicken soup is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, it is for their own image.

Truly, if you believe them, you can be at fault.

However, Zhu Yunwen believed it, because the historical books of all dynasties and dynasties recorded chicken soup texts, and the villains recorded were all brainless and violent, Zhu Yunwen felt that others could achieve a famous monarch through the ages according to these chicken soups, and he could too.

He felt that the emperor's grandfather's approach was too different, and it could be said that it was completely opposite to the practice of the wise monarchs of the past dynasties, and he decided that during his reign, he would strive to get rid of some of the so-called "maladministrations" during the Hongwu period, and be a good emperor like Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

However, what he didn't know was that the reason why Emperor Wen of Han was so virtuous was not because of his nature, nor because he listened to the teachings in the history books of the past dynasties, but because he was more tolerant.

We all know that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is actually a typical horse beating the country and donkey sitting in the palace, when the Lu clan was destroyed, he can be said to have no strength at all, and the biggest contribution was the King of Qi, but those ministers felt that the King of Qi was too powerful and difficult to control, so they chose Emperor Wen of Han, who had a more kind temper and did not have the support of a strong maternal family.

The throne of Emperor Wen of Han can be said to have fallen from the sky and smashed directly into his face, so he didn't believe it at first at first, and thought that someone had set him up.

After such a lonely Emperor Wen of Han succeeded to the throne, he naturally had to hold his tail and give three points to the ministers, nobles, and princes, because his throne came too easily, and there were still many people who disobeyed him. For these, he could only endure and slowly cultivate his own power, which made the Eternal Mingjun.

And by the time his son Emperor Jing succeeded to the throne, their family's power had been stabilized, so there was no need to endure it, if it was time to cut the domain, if it was time to kill Zhou Yafu, it would be possible to kill Zhou Yafu, and it would be possible to completely tear off the mask of Renjun.

And Li Shimin's most praised thing is his humble and accepting character, as well as his relationship with Wei Zheng's eternal monarchs. In fact, it is also enduring.

Although Wei Zheng's exhortation to Li Shimin has some golden and jade good words, it is impossible for a person to be smart and say good words for 17 years in a row. The reason why Li Shimin listened patiently was because he was afraid and wanted to keep his country rich for a long time, but also because his foundation was too dark, and he needed someone to help him clear his name. And Wei Zheng is such a good tool, Li Shimin has successfully established an image of a good and virtuous Ming Jun through Wei Zheng's humble admonition, which almost makes people forget how his country came from.

And Wei Zheng probably knew this, so he actively cooperated with the emperor to sing a double reed, and the two monarchs and ministers sang and harmonized, and jointly wrote a historical chapter of the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen finally made up his mind: to cut the domain. Because he felt that his imperial grandfather was wrong, and all the dynasties that set up vassal kings would have civil wars, the most typical being the Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, while those dynasties that did not set up vassal kings had a lot less trouble. Because everyone is equal to the throne, those vassal kings will rebel whenever they have the opportunity, which is the embodiment of the inferior nature of human beings, and no one can change it.
