Chapter 208: The Game

At last they reached the city, and the defenders on the city walls were already in good standing, and when they saw the Tartars attacking, they threw stones and threw their ladders away from the walls several feet high with hooks and sickles, and as soon as the screams of the Tatar soldiers came, the rolling logs full of iron nails fell down.

There was another scream like a pig.

Although the city is small, it is built solidly and precipitously, with all kinds of city defense facilities and blue bricks on the perimeter. The height of the city wall is about three zhang, and the width of the city wall is also four zhang, which can accommodate the movement of large groups of people and horses, and the city wall constitutes a complete three-dimensional defense line.

Although the walls were unusually strong, the Tartars were like a tidal wave, constantly pounding the city frantically, and the arrows rained down, reaping the lives of the defenders.

The corpses were piled up like mountains, blood flowed everywhere, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the corpses of their partners were ruthlessly trampled like rags, and people kept falling down, becoming a dead body that was trampled on.

Seeing that the city was about to break, Yang Yiqing's heart was relieved the next moment. I don't know why there was chaos in the camp of the Tatar army, Yang Yiqing looked at the person who came and saw who it would be if it was not reinforcements?

Seeing that the iron cavalry of about thousands of people passed through the Tatar army and divided them into two sections, Yang Yiqing said in his heart: "Only a few thousand people will definitely not be able to repel the Tatars." Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Heavenly Camp in.

It turned out that Leng Juchen expected that the Tatars would start attacking the city again when he saw the war raging in the direction of the small city, and he wanted to dispel the idea of going to the capital but went back, but as soon as he wanted to leave, he saw some soldiers of the Yutian Battalion who had been killed, so he rushed to the small city with these thousands of men and horses. Just cleared the siege.

In the capital, Zhu Shou followed Yang Yanhe to learn how to manage the dynasty in the past few days, and Yang Yanhe used his knowledge to make Zhu Shou understand the importance of learning. Yang Yanhe talked about many things that Zhu Shou didn't know, and he found that these things would be of great help to him in the future.

Yang Yanhe said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must remember this sentence, meritocracy, meritocracy. ā€

Classical Chinese? Zhu Shou had the worst language, and he didn't understand what Yang Yanhe meant at all, so he asked, "What does this mean?" Please tell me about it, sir. After a few days of getting along, Zhu Shou admired Yang Yanhe more and more, and was convinced of his talent.

Yang Yanhe said slowly: "It means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should make good use of people when he is the queen in the future, and he must use those who have the ability to help the world and the country, and not those who only have good conduct but no talent." ā€

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Shou began to think about it, he was still skeptical of Yang Yanhe's words, and the teachers did not necessarily teach them correctly, for example, the math teacher in his time always talked about the wrong questions.

"But I don't think it's enough for people to have talent, and they can't be used if they have bad conduct! Which emperor of all dynasties did not use oil to be talented? But how many of these talented people have bad conduct and mislead the country and people. In other words, although the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty had a certain amount of literature, it also mistook Chongzhen, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

These words are Zhu Shou's opinions, and they are not necessarily true.

Yang Yanhe smiled slightly, "This is going to test His Highness's mind, and some people with bad conduct can also use it, it depends on whether you can hold it steady." The so-called righteous more help and unrighteous less help. If a benevolent and righteous monarch wants to be able to control the ministers of the court, he must convince people with virtue. The emperor can still do it, but what about His Royal Highness? ā€

"The Monarch of Benevolence and Righteousness...... "Which monarch of benevolence and righteousness in all dynasties is comfortable as an emperor?" It's not as comfortable as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This righteous king is categorically unable to do it.

Yang Yanhe used Confucian ideas to enlighten Zhu Shou, but Zhu Shou accepted the idea of modernization since he was a child, and he felt that Confucianism was too benevolent and righteous in this era, and it was not enough to use Confucianism to govern the country, but he still had to use his own set. However, Confucianism can be used as a backing.

"Your Highness, most of the ministers in the court say that you are more like my Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, ruling the country with force. The minister still hopes that His Royal Highness will be more like the current emperor. Only righteousness can heal the kingdom. Wu can determine the country, and literature can stabilize the country. I still hope that His Highness will not always fight and kill. ā€

Zhu Shou pursed his lips and said in his heart: "This benevolence and righteousness are categorically unacceptable, Zhu Houzhao's temple name is Wuzong, since I have done Zhu Houzhao, I will definitely use martial arts to become a country." ā€

"If you want to use the right people, you must have a pair of discerning eyes, in addition to this, Your Highness must also care about the people's livelihood, sympathetic to the people, only the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the country will be rich and strong, and the economy can go up. How many countries have been destroyed by peasant uprisings since ancient times. ā€

Zhu Shou nodded and agreed, "That's nature!" "Isn't the Ming Dynasty wiped out by the peasant rebels? I don't care so much, as long as I don't die in my generation.

It's not that Zhu Shou doesn't care about it, but he can't take care of it, and the ghost knows if he will burp like Zhu Houzhao in his early thirties in history.

"Your Highness, what will you do if the people rebel? Will troops be sent to suppress it? Yang Yanhe suddenly asked,

Zhu Shou didn't even think about it, and said: "If they rebel, it must be that the court is not good to them, and the monarch of this country has not done a good job." You can rest assured that there will be no rebellion among me! "If you don't do it, how can the people do it as you do?

"You're so confident? Maybe you're doing a good job, but they're going to overturn it? ā€

Zhu Shou squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Then they are Diao Min, they will not allow me and will not tolerate them!" They won't let me have a good time, will I make them have a good time? That's a word kill! ā€

"Then Your Highness has become a tyrant in this way, and the efforts you have made before have been in vain!"

Zhu Shou was speechless for a while, yes! What Yang Yanhe said is not unreasonable, killing them may cause a lot of trouble. "What do you say I should do, teacher?"

"There is no good way for the minister, I advise His Highness to succeed to the throne in the future or to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, and can only avoid these things as much as possible. You think you're doing a good job, but the people don't think so. It may also be those corrupt officials who force the people to rebel. Therefore, His Highness still has a pair of discerning eyes at all times. Look at the people! Use the right people! I believe that His Highness will not do worse than His Majesty in this regard! ā€

Zhu Shou suddenly realized, "You still want to tell me to use military force to determine the country and rule the country with culture?" ā€

Yang Yanhe nodded slowly, but Zhu Shou still didn't think so. Righteousness may bring people to their knees, but it is still inevitable that they will be oppressed. So if you don't want to be oppressed, you have to be strong and bigger, so strong that no one can shake you. Taizu and Chengzu are still like this.

"So, sir, if the Ming Dynasty is strong and the emperor is strong, then who can shake the throne?"

Yang Yanhe said sharply: "That country won't last long!" Tyranny will never make a country prosper! What did Emperor Qin's tyranny lead to? Isn't Great Qin so powerful that it still perishes? ā€
