Chapter 1504: Family and Clan
"You have a point, in fact, someone has already suggested it to me, and I have agreed." Father nodded, "This Tokugawa Tadanaga can indeed be used, and if he can't be easily killed by his brother." It's just that...... I suddenly remembered some exclamations today. A family, a brother, wants to force his own brother to die......"
As if he was touched, the emperor suddenly sighed, "The family and brothers are all like this, no wonder outsiders covet them!" ”
The father and the emperor have said this, and the prince also knows that he can no longer pretend to be stupid. "Father, Japan is a small barbarian country, and he doesn't understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, so he will be brothers and fight in the same room, my family is simple and sincere, and there will be no such evil things! And Erchen will definitely take care of his younger brothers, and will never let them have any grievances, so that they will be used by outsiders. ”
"Where do you want to go? Don't panic! I didn't mean to scare you. The prince's nervous performance made his father laugh, "You are right, Japan is a small barbarian country, and its country is also crude and narrow, but where they do well, we can accommodate and learn, and where they do not do well, we can also take warning." I just think that this situation of the Tokugawa family is just a warning for us. The Tokugawa family brothers are on the wall, and the Tokugawa family can't be blamed for the cruelty of the time, and the previous generals of the Tokugawa family are also responsible. It was his hesitation in choosing the successor, and his preference for the younger son, which aroused the younger son's heart to bully his brother, so he caused discord among the Tokugawa brothers and became suspicious. If Tokugawa Hidetada kills his younger brother after his death, Tokugawa Hidetada himself is also responsible...... Therefore, I will not allow you to bully your brothers, but I will not let them embarrass you, so that they will harm you and you. ”
"Father's words are too heavy...... the prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, understanding that his father had no opinion on himself, just taking the opportunity to mention himself.
"How can I knock you if I don't focus on it." The emperor still smiled slightly, "You dare to say, just now Brother Hu said that he didn't want to study and wanted to be a soldier, and he wanted to lead a soldier to fight and become a general, you didn't hesitate at all?" Don't deny it to me, I can see it. ”
……
The prince didn't expect that his momentary hesitation just now would be seen by his father.
That's right, when his younger brother Zhao Hu said that he asked to learn martial arts, and when he grew up, he would lead the troops to fight and lead the troops to lead the army, the prince did hesitate slightly, and secretly hoped that his father would refuse his proposal.
He feared that his brother would become a threat to him.
The lesson of the former Ming is too great, and because it happens to be the previous dynasty, a large number of secret files in the palace have flowed into the hands of the new dynasty. Therefore, the story of the former Ming Dynasty has become the key object of the prince's teachers when they tell the history of the country, and all kinds of ruling mistakes and secrets have been spread out to the prince, so that the prince has a deep understanding of the story of the former Ming Dynasty at a young age.
Even the prince who is benevolent by nature can't help but think of the story of Zhu Di, the former ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, who commanded the army, and then took the opportunity to seize the story of his nephew Emperor Jianwen.
When he heard his father's request for the emperor to allow Zhao Hu, the king of Qi, the crown prince's heart couldn't help but tighten a lot.
The rebellion of the vassal kings of the former Ming Dynasty was not only the king of Yan Jingnan, but also the king of Han, the king of Ning, the king of Anhua, etc., all of whom had caused trouble in the world. In the past, after the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, the feudal kings were so strictly restrained, and there were often feudal kings who rebelled, so how could the feudal kings not become a disaster? He didn't understand why his father was doing this.
However, although he was worried, the prince did not want to doubt his brother, let alone speak ill of his brother in front of his father. Besides, now that his younger brothers are still young, it is too early to say such a thing, so he only endured his doubts and uneasiness in his heart, and did not plan to reveal it to his father.
How did he know that when his father watched coldly, he had already discovered the uneasiness he was trying to hide, and directly broke it.
The crown prince wanted to deny it, but his father had already seen it, and said not to deny it, so he didn't dare to deny it, and opened his mouth and finally couldn't say anything.
"I understand your thoughts, and I won't blame you, you are the crown prince, so it's understandable to think so." The emperor patted him on the shoulder and signaled him not to be nervous, "But I started in the middle of the ranks, and King Qi wants to learn from my father and want to serve the country from Rong, isn't this thought good?" If they don't serve the country, is it better to keep them in the capital? That's not the same as the previous Ming to raise waste! Rather than being a waste, I would rather let them make the best use of their talents, and if they want to fight, they will go to war, the country lacks talents, and it is a good thing that the clan can produce talents, what are you afraid of? Thinking about guarding the country, being afraid of this and that, and making everyone in the world silent, what is the point! ”
"Erchen...... Erchen didn't have the ...... to do this," the prince hurriedly defended himself, "Brother Hu wants to enter martial arts, but Erchen still supports it." ”
"I know your temperament, you have no intention of harming your younger brothers, I just said it, you don't have to go to your heart." The emperor sighed softly, "Your younger brothers, if anyone wants to go to war and serve the country, I will not stop them; But I won't embarrass you, so that they can lead the army and become the general of the town, you can rest assured. The division of the former Ming Dynasty, this dynasty will never follow it! This is true of me in this life, and you must be like this in this life, understand? ”
The crown prince finally understood that what his father meant was to make it clear from both sides. so that the clan, including the prince, can join the army to fight and satisfy their desire to serve the country; On the other hand, it is not allowed to become the commander of one side, let alone divide one side as a feudal town, so as not to breed arrogance and conspire against the imperial court.
There is no great merit, and the vassal king is not allowed to be hereditary, but the vassal king is allowed to serve the country by joining the army and fighting, and if the meritorious service is established, it can be hereditary, although this method is not perfect, but at least it can stimulate the motivation of the clan to work hard, so that they do not know everything to enjoy the wealth.
"My dynasty is different from the former Ming Dynasty, and even different from the former Han Dynasty, my dynasty wants to continue to expand, as much as it can expand, and as much territory as it can lay, it is natural that you need to work hard from top to bottom, and what is the use of enjoying the rich and noble? If anyone just wants to be a piece of waste, even if they are royal, they will have to be whipped! The emperor said with a little emotion, and then he asked the prince again, "Son, do you know what my family can rely on to win the world?" ”
"Of course, it depends on my father's fortitude and simplicity, wisdom and martial arts." The prince blurted out. "If there is no father and the emperor is wise, how can my family start from the end of the world, and then seize the world?"
"There's some truth to that...... I'm getting better at talking, boy! The father laughed again and patted the prince's head, "But although fortitude and simplicity are very good, I don't know how many people in the world are resolute and simple, can we take over the world by relying on fortitude and simplicity alone?" ”
"This ......" the prince was slightly suspicious, "Naturally, my father has luck, and others can't learn it at all." ”
"What luck, nonsense! When our ancestors were mixed in Xuzhou, who could see what luck they had? After your father took over the world, everyone said that there was dragon gas in Xuzhou, isn't it ridiculous? My father didn't think much of this statement at all, "It's a lie to say such a thing as luck!" What's the point of talking about these deceitful things to others, and still talking about these things at home? Self-deception? ”
The prince was in a bit of a quandary. When he was in class before, he heard the teacher say that all the sons of heaven have dragon energy, and luck is different from others, he doesn't understand why his father is so sneering at the so-called luck theory, but he also knows that the luck theory is indeed false.
“…… My Xuzhou soldiers are strong and artillery, and no one in the world is invincible. After a moment's hesitation, he finally replied bluntly.
"That's right, the soldiers are strong and the artillery is sharp, this is the foundation of my family's seizure of the world!" The emperor finally smiled, and was very satisfied with his son's answer, "Bingjian is because I am willing to train soldiers, I am willing to pay them, and I am willing to let them live a life of status, so they are willing to serve me." Military training depends on organization, and mercenaries should be paid generously, and discipline should be used to deter troops, and even more so, they should be good at cultivating capable generals who can let them fight. And what about Qianming? Nothing can be done, so they can only watch the world corrupt! As for the Manchurians and the like, although the military discipline was strict and they advanced and retreated in unison, they were also inferior to us in weapons - their weapons were inferior to ours, and our guns were better than theirs, and they could kill and wound them and defeat them. Therefore, even if they are brave, they can only become ghosts under the sword of Xuzhou soldiers...... Therefore, as long as our soldiers are stronger than those of other countries and our artillery is better than those of other countries, the Han Dynasty will be invincible and dominate the world. ”
After a pause, he continued to teach the prince, "If you want to be strong, you must rely on strict laws, and you must also rely on clear rewards and punishments; It is even more difficult to make a profit, to count, to mechanical, and to plan, all of which are inseparable from practical talents. Since our dynasty started with these two magic weapons, if we want to continue to be invincible in the future, we must continue to rely on these two magic weapons, and we can't leave them for a moment. The royal family must especially set an example, and let the people of the world understand that the new dynasty does not want any rotten Confucianism, but practical talents! That's why I support Brother Tiger and Brother Rui so much, because the path they love to walk is really contributing to my family's world. ”
The crown prince understood what the emperor meant. He wants the clan to either lead troops to fight and fight on the front line in the future, or they have to learn the study of things and mathematics, study diligently, and rely on two ways out, so that the Zhao family can continue to master the fundamentals of the beginning, and will not become a waste who doesn't understand anything.
