Chapter 529: What is Right and Wrong
Chapter 529 What is right or wrong
"Don't call me Your Majesty, the second uncle just now is good, just call me the second uncle. Zhu Yuanzhang added.
Yes, the second master is the second uncle, Qin Mubai is also a little speechless, who let himself come late?
"Then the second uncle, are we going to find a place to live now, or are we going somewhere?, or will I take you to dinner first?" Qin Mubai also said with a simple smile.
"Don't be in a hurry to live first, then let's go eat first, these delicacies are eaten one day a day. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to still be a foodie, but he just eats, Qin Mubai naturally has no opinion, and he doesn't eat either. took Zhu Yuanzhang directly to the best Chinese restaurant in Fanhu City, which is also northwest cuisine, but for Zhu Yuanzhang, even these seemingly ordinary meals should be delicious.
After sitting down, Qin Mubai first handed the menu to Zhu Yuanzhang, although there were only two people, Qin Mubai still wanted a private room, if you have money, you can be willful, and you can have a private room.
"Hmm, this is good, pork knuckle? is that what Dongpo elbow means?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked.
"Yes. Qin Mubai nodded, he was a little speechless, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would order pork knuckle with sauce when he came up, but in Inner Mongolia, if you want to eat a variety of vegetables, it may be a little difficult, after all, some vegetables unique to the south are really difficult to buy in the north, and the vegetables in the north are some common green vegetables.
But there's definitely no shortage of meat here.
"Come, bring me two. Then this braised pork should also be good, and this ......" Zhu Yuanzhang was familiar and began to order directly.
Soon the two of them ordered the meal directly, the waiter went to place an order, and Qin Mubai asked, "Second uncle, do we want to drink some wine." ”
"I won't drink the wine, I've drunk a lot just now, your wine here is too strong, ordinary people can't drink it, if I drink it again, I guess it's too much." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head directly.
"That's right, Mr. Qin, I have some questions for you, I don't know if you can answer me. Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.
"That's fine. Qin Mubai nodded immediately, although he didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to ask, but Qin Mubai could probably guess that it was nothing more than something to do with the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Qin Mubai's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, as if he was hesitating whether to ask or not, after drinking the tea in his hand twice, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, Qin Mubai was a little curious, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a founding emperor, and he didn't even have the courage to ask questions?
"Second master, do you want to ask, is the Ming Dynasty still there?" Qin Mubai thought about it, and simply asked it tentatively himself.
"No, of course not, the Ming Dynasty is definitely gone, we Han people may be able to inherit it permanently, but how can there be an eternal dynasty? Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head very dryly and said.
Qin Mubai was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to see it so thoroughly, but think about it, this is also a fact, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been a feudal dynasty behind, there are so many histories in front of it, and there are many powerful dynasties, but no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it can't always exist.
"That's not what I want to ask, dynastic succession like this is a problem in itself, I can guarantee that I am a wise emperor, but I can't guarantee that my descendants will be a wise emperor, if this cannot be solved, then any dynasty will end sooner or later, but if you want to solve this, unless the person in power is running according to a rule, not hereditary. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said.
Qin Mubai was a little surprised, Lao Zhu's insight, leverage, from another extent, isn't this a constitutional monarchy? Of course, the system of constitutional monarchy, from another point of view, also has some drawbacks, but when a family like a monarch becomes a mascot, it is nothing.
This is the same as faith, people are willing to believe, then there is nothing, anyway, the law is the law, the country is the country, and the mascot is the mascot, these are two different things.
"You are right, it is true that many countries have implemented constitutional monarchies now, that is, although the emperor is still the emperor, the emperor is already just a symbol of the country, and is no longer the person who determines the future direction of the country, and the country will be handed over to a set of government teams to operate, and this set of government teams will have a strict promotion system and relevant laws to designate, that is, to govern the country according to law. Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Oh, that's fine. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then nodded and said: "If the children and grandchildren of the future generations are not capable, such a rich day is more suitable for them." Just like those gate valves inherited from ancient times, they can also be used. ”
"That's right, in fact, Mr. Qin, what I want to ask is whether my grandson is in power to the end. Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment before asking his question.
Qin Mubai was slightly stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted to which grandson Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about, that should be Zhu Yunwen, that is, Emperor Jianwen, the emperor's grandson back then. should also be Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite grandson.
It is said that the eldest son and eldest grandson, this eldest grandson is naturally the dearest, although Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor, and the royal family has no family affection, but after all, Zhu Yuanzhang's experience from childhood to adulthood did not grow up in the royal family, he is just an ordinary person, so he should have more ordinary people's ideas, not like those who grew up in the royal family.
The royal family has no family affection in the eyes of childhood, this idea is different, and those who have lived in the royal family since childhood, even if they don't think so, the people around them, their mothers, teachers who follow them, ministers, etc., will educate them in this way.
Qin Mubai didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like the other sons, he just liked the eldest son, or rather, he didn't like it so much. But Zhu Yunwen undoubtedly likes Zhu Yuanzhang very much, which is why Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly made Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson, and then supported Zhu Yunwen to take the throne.
After all, according to the rules of other dynasties, if the eldest son dies, generally speaking, the second son is the crown prince. If Zhu Yuanzhang's second son is a mallet, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is actually a talent and a relatively capable emperor, so this is naturally unwilling.
To tell the truth, no one knows the outcome of Zhu Yunwen in history, but he knows that he burned a few corpses, and those corpses said that they were Zhu Yunwen's sons, Zhu Yunwen, and palace maids, but who knows the result? Maybe Zhu Yunwen has run away, but it must have never come out again.
Such a thing must be a blow to Zhu Yuanzhang.
As soon as Qin Mubai hesitated, Zhu Yuanzhang's face couldn't help but turn pale, and it took him a long time before he spoke: "So, it's Zhu Di?"
Qin Mubai glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's age looks like he is about sixty years old, and an old man at this age obviously likes his grandson and the like more. But no matter what, his son himself knew that when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, there was obviously a reason why he secretly arranged someone to assist Zhu Yunwen, and he knew very well what kind of person his son was.
"Well, it's Zhu Di. Qin Mubai nodded.
"Do you think I did something wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time before he sighed and asked.
"It's not right or wrong, in fact, from the perspective of historians, both Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di have their own abilities. Qin Mubai is not easy to evaluate, in fact, in terms of ability at that time, Zhu Yunwen is definitely inferior to Zhu Di. But in fact, it's not that Zhu Yunwen is really bad, the main thing is that he didn't have the opportunity to exercise, or that at the earliest, he didn't teach him how to be an emperor from an early age.
And Zhu Di has been named King Yan since he was 10 years old, although he only reached his fiefdom after adulthood, but he has been on the side for more than ten years, and his ability is naturally not comparable to Zhu Yunwen, it can also be said that Zhu Yunwen's character can actually be an emperor, and he can also make a difference, if it is handed over normally.
But he can be regarded as spoiled by Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, he has always been by Zhu Yuanzhang's side. In fact, Zhu Di's success also has a certain relationship with Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Yunwen when he was dying that he wanted him to treat his uncles well.
The kindness mentioned here is definitely not, let them maintain their current state, or even go further, the kindness mentioned here probably means that Zhu Yunwen does not kill them, because from what Zhu Yuanzhang heard just now, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Di was unwilling.
And Zhu Yunwen obviously has feelings for Zhu Yuanzhang, which is why Zhu Di rebelled, Zhu Yunwen did not let his generals hurt Zhu Di, and then led to his own failure in the end.
If Zhu Yunwen was ruthless, Zhu Di would not have succeeded at all.
Of course, the words are divided into two ends, Qin Mubai is considered from the perspective of future generations, some of the people used by Zhu Yunwen after coming to power are sometimes indeed problematic, but from another point of view, there are not many people who can be used at that time, right? Especially, it should be considered that there were some people who leaned towards Zhu Di's side at that time, and it is estimated that Zhu Yunwen may not dare to use them.
"But in the end, it ended up like this, so in the end, did Zhu Di succeed in becoming the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and asked.
"Yes. Qin Mubai nodded, Emperor Yongle was still a little awesome.
"Where's Yun Wei?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
"Whereabouts unknown. Qin Mubai didn't say that he died directly, but used these four words, after all, this is a fact, no one can say that Zhu Yunwen is really dead, in other words, although Zhu Di is ruthless, but Zhu Yunwen hasn't killed him several times, he can't kill Zhu Yunwen ruthlessly, right?
Of course, from another point of view, Zhu Yunwen must "die", so he can only "die". However, this kind of death is likely to be just a living in the people and an ordinary rich man. But these are all Qin Mubai's guesses, history, who knows?
