Chapter 403: But I'm Different
“…… When you are facing the crisis of life and death, when you see those alien invaders wantonly plundering the people and destroying cities, when you see that those alien invaders only bring destruction, leaving me only a piece of desolation, when you see those originally brave and strong soldiers, because of their own mistakes, they can only tragically face the enemy's swords and guns and sacrifice one by one-1——"
"In fact, the Chinese civilization of the past thousands of years and the replacement of countless dynasties are not trying to say that some people are talking about earth and water, and water and fire. It is completely the internal decay and various shortcomings that have led to the collapse of the originally brilliant and glorious eras. ”
“…… So, I swear, I don't want to see the replacement of dynasties one after another, I hope that the Ming Empire can survive forever, then the Ming Dynasty must make changes, and first of all, the way of thinking of me, the emperor, must also change. ”
Seeing that Zhu Qizhen sitting in front of him, he even pointed out the political gains and losses of the two sons of heaven, Taizu and Taizong, and even included Renzong and Xuanzong, two elders who were closer in blood.
Hearing that, Zhu Qiyu was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhu Qizhen to point out his father's concession to the southern invasion of the grassland alien race at that time, and even thought that when Taizong was in the time, Zhu Di, the great-grandfather, should not let go of Nazhan City and other countries, and should give the grain production area with fertile water and grass for three seasons a year to be owned by the Ming Dynasty......
“…… Your Majesty, although you are the Son of Heaven and your courtiers are guilty, you cannot tolerate such reckless criticism of the previous emperors. Finally, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but speak.
Hearing Zhu Qiyu's righteous words, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, and took a sip of tea quietly on the surface: "Then according to your meaning, if future generations can't talk about the merits and demerits of their predecessors, then why should we read history?" ”
"This ......" Zhu Qizhen blocked Zhu Qiyu with a rhetorical question, making it difficult to answer for a while.
"With history as evidence, we can know the rise and fall, and the gains and losses of our predecessors are worthy of our reference. Wouldn't it be nice not to make another mistake? Zhu Qizhen looked at this handsome younger brother, and said in a deep voice: "These words, as a brother, I naturally won't say these words to others, but you are my younger brother, and you tell your own family affairs, can there still be others gossiping?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes after being silent for a while. "Isn't my brother here just to complain to me?"
--------------------
Zhu Qizhen shook his head. "Of course not, we have established the country in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, all dynasties, but after a hundred years, it will either flourish or decline, and the reason for this is that the original inconspicuous drawbacks have begun to appear."
"So, brother, you have strengthened the imperial power in the past two years, so that the court and the civil and military forces dare not disobey, just do you want to use strong means to make changes? But brother, don't forget, in the Song Dynasty in the past, Wang Anshi changed the law, although he had the support of Shenzong, but in the end, it was not the same person who died in politics. ”
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but nodded, looking at Zhu Qiyu's gaze a little more gratified, it seems that when Zhu Qiyu became the Son of Heaven in history, what he did was also quite virtuous, which shows that this second brother is still quite smart.
"You're right, that's because Wang Anshi was too radical, he harmed the interests of many groups, and made both the government and the opposition oppose, and in the end, he had to end gloomily." Zhu Qizhen's gaze fell on the deep blue pool. "But I'm different."
"What I have experienced has given me a lot more knowledge and choices than people of this era. What I am doing now is not to suppress the ministers with force, and to insist on going their own way. ”…,
"You see that such a Chinese military officer has done so many things in the past two years, perhaps, he has also received a lot of criticism and doubts, but in the end, when the results come out, you look again, hehe, which one is not singing praises there?"
"But brother, what you have done is indeed beneficial to my Daming, but you like to lure people with profit. In the long run, if there is no profit, then who else can respond to the Chinese martial arts? ”
"In this world, there will always be interests, whether in the past, in the present, or even in the future." Zhu Qizhen turned his head and smiled at Zhu Qiyu, who looked puzzled: "Even if it is hundreds or even thousands of years in the past, as long as the superior can understand this truth, then, Daming, will be able to work together, and the Ming Empire's rivers and mountains may really be able to last for thousands of generations." ”
"I'll give you the simplest example, land." Zhu Qizhen raised an index finger and shook it gently. "In addition to many reasons for the change of dynasties in the past, there is actually another extremely important reason, that is, the problem of uneven distribution of land."
"That's why brother, why did you seize the northern part of North Korea's North Island?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but say a little abruptly.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, and the land of Liaodong has always been fertile, although it is only one season, it is enough to feed millions or even tens of millions of people, and in the future, with the Korean Peninsula, then, my Ming Dynasty will not have too big problems with food at least for decades......"
This conversation lasted for more than an hour, and in the end, Zhu Qizhen left Zhu Qiyu with a choice, a choice that made Zhu Qiyu feel extremely difficult, but felt extremely tempting.
“…… You are my own brother, and I hope that you will set an example, and if you are willing, you can at least become the head of a country in the future. ”
"Then aren't you afraid that in a hundred years, your children and grandchildren will be replaced by my children and grandchildren?"
"Hehe, if that's the case, it can only mean that my children and grandchildren are too stupid, and when the time comes, I will never complain when I am under the spring, after all, it is still the world of my Han family. Think about it yourself, I'll wait for your answer, I hope you don't disappoint your brother. Zhu Qizhen finally left such a sentence, turned around and strode towards the outside of the pavilion.
Looking at Zhu Qizhen's burly and majestic back, in his mind, the words left by Zhu Qizhen kept echoing. "Perhaps, in this way, it's pretty good......" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but whisper to himself.
Late at night, Zhu Qizhen's family had already left the palace and returned to the palace, but Zhu Qiyu's study was brightly lit, and Zhu Qiyu, who had been sitting for more than two hours, was awakened by the sound of pushing the room open.
"Husband, what did Your Majesty say today that made you so torn apart?" Wang Shi, who walked into the room with a bowl of ginseng soup, looked at his husband with a worried face and asked Wen Yan.
"We may have to leave Jingshi." Looking at the beloved wife in front of him, Zhu Qiyu showed a smile and said softly. "Will you come with me?"
"Of course, I'm your wife, and I'll be with you wherever you go." Wang Shi stared at Zhu Qiyu and replied word by word.
