In Fengtian Palace, Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground, Zhu Di crossed his hands on his waist, his beard was upside down, and his eyes were round.

"I ask you again, I want Zheng He to go to the West, and I want to conquer Mongolia, do you agree or not?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't know where he got the courage, plucked up the courage to raise his head, and did not shy away: "Father, the son is the prince, he doesn't ask for anything, just for the people of the world to eat an extra bite of food, to fight for years, to build a new capital, the treasury has long been empty, if you want to go to the West, where will the silver come from?" Where did the money and food come from in the conquest of Mongolia? Father, the emperor, the sons and ministers implored to recuperate with the people, lightly pay for the meager endowment, like Emperor Wenjing of the Han Dynasty, to give the people a way out, and leave some surplus wealth for future generations. Otherwise, this mess, the father and the emperor are just for the sons, and the sons and daughters can't sit down and can't sit down. ”

"Bastard, I'll kill you." Zhu Di was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, and when he picked up the celadon around him, he was about to smash it at the prince.

Wang Zhen and a few little yellow men hurriedly hugged Zhu Di.

At this time, Chen Yuan happened to enter the palace by the edict and was taken aback by this scene. What the hell did Zhu Gaochi do, making Zhu Di so angry, this bottle went down according to his head, and he was crippled if he didn't die.

When he came out of Zheng He's mansion, he met the little yellow gate sent by Zhu Di and announced his entry into the palace.

"Your Majesty is angry, there is something to discuss." Chen Yuan hurriedly stopped him.

Zhu Di was in anger, his hand was restrained by Xiao Huangmen, and his foot kept kicking Zhu Gaochi: "You bastard, if you don't agree, I can't go to the West and conquer Mongolia?" I'm going to abolish you, I'm going to abolish you—"

Zhu Gaochi crouched on the ground, his expression was serene, very calm, as if he had made a mortal heart.

Wang Zhen: "Your Highness, the servant begs you, don't contradict the emperor, admit your mistake to the emperor." ”

"Father, as long as the son is the prince for one day, he must fulfill the responsibility of assisting the father, the father wants the son to die, the son does not hesitate, but the son wants to say a word for the people of the world. In wars and wars, it is their families who die, it is His Majesty's people, where does the money come from, only taxes. How many people are still hungry and poorly clothed, and their fathers and sons ask for benevolent governance. ”

"Rebel, the third child is right, let's raise troops in Jingjing, the world on horseback, but you are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, just like a lot of stones, a lump of cotton comes out, it's funny, I want to say that I am a faint king who is so happy and happy, and I killed you, a rebel-"

Zhu Gaochi actually sighed quite emotionally in his heart, according to the patriarchal law, he was appointed as the prince, but ......, among the three sons from a young age, he studied the hardest and did things the most cautiously, because of physical reasons, he couldn't practice riding and shooting, and there was no way to do it. For the filial piety of his parents and the affection for his brothers, he came from the bottom of his heart, but his father just didn't look down on him.

The second and third brothers, no matter how naughty and troublesome they are, even if they are scolded by their father, their father still likes them as before. But his eldest son, since he was a child, has never done anything out of the ordinary to make his father angry, but his father always reprimands him for some trivial things, and when he sees his face, he is not good, how can he not be sad?

However, the Son of Man, the Father of Nature, no matter what, he can only bear it in silence. Today, as a crown prince, he may soon become a abolished prince, and he must also fulfill his last duty and fight for the people.

Looking at Zhu Di's expression, Chen Yuan knew that he couldn't persuade him, and when he looked at the prince, he also stiffened his neck, and he couldn't help but roar: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the small staff is subject to the big stick, and if you don't leave, do you want to trap Your Majesty in injustice?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, and then he came to his senses, Chen Yuan reminded him right, the small cane is subject to the big cane, which is a kind of filial piety to parents. The parents were angry, and the small punishment was endured, but Zhu Di is now furious, and he can't kill himself, it doesn't matter if he dies, but his father has been charged with the injustice of killing his son since then, and he has been spit on by Wandai. He got up in a panic, but his body was fat, he knelt for a long time, his legs were numb, he couldn't stand up, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Chen Yuan hurriedly signaled to the small yellow door on the side, and hurriedly helped the prince out.

Zhu Di couldn't see the rebel, only cursed. Chen Yuango carefully took the celadon and carefully placed it on the ground. Wang Zhen and the other little yellow men dared to let go of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di squatted on the ground, panting, his eyes were piercing, and Wang Zhen and Xiao Huangmen were so frightened that they took a few steps back to observe, and they were worried that His Majesty would be sick in a hurry.

Chen Yuan stepped forward cautiously and whispered, "Your Majesty, you-"

Zhu Di pointed out the door: "This rebel, I will abolish him sooner or later." ”

Chen Yuan was also speechless, this Zhu Gaochi, what is the conflict with Zhu Di, you have to implement benevolent governance, recuperate, and wait for you to succeed to the throne, now you are running to confront Zhu Di, isn't it unpleasant. However, it is also understood that Zhu Gaochi is this character, thinking of the people in everything, because of this, he reigned for only eight months, but he was the most benevolent emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and made a good start for the rule of Renxuan.

Zhu Gaochi reorganized the cabinet, eliminated redundant officials, corrected the mistakes of the Yongle period, treated the people leniently, advised the peasants to teach mulberry, and lightly punished the meager endowment. During his short reign, he issued several edicts abolishing the emperor's expropriation of commodities such as timber and gold and silver, and replacing them with a system of fair purchases. He also exempted those affected by natural disasters from their land taxes and provided them with free food and other relief items.

Zhu Gaochi's reign particularly distressed him was the frequent exodus of the people, caused by the peasants' inability to pay taxes and cope with various requisitions—a serious problem in the late years of Zhu Di's reign. Wandering in the late Yongle period caused the country to lose a lot of income. Zhu Gaochi issued a special edict to return the fugitives to their hometowns, promising to exempt them from the taxes they owed, and to exempt them from the same taxes and labor for two years after registering in their localities.

Therefore, why did Chen Yuan follow Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, although Zhu Gaosui treated him very well, his heart was undecided. Don't let go of the two ready-made Ming monarchs in history, go with an unknown Zhu Gaosui, he doesn't plan to do this. You can't be so selfish. Zhu Gaosui treats himself differently, but Zhu Gaochi and his son have the grace to tolerate people, but they will not target themselves.

Take a walk in the people, you will know that the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, in its position, seek its government, since you came to the Ming Dynasty, you have to do something for the people. It is not only the so-called conquest of the battlefield, making meritorious contributions, and keeping the business is more difficult than starting a business, but it is the most difficult thing for future generations to do to be able to hold the country and let the people recuperate.

Chen Yuan stayed by his side and did not speak silently.

Zhu Di was angry for a long time and asked Chen Yuan: "I'm so angry that I'm dying, why are you still happy?" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Zhu Di was stunned, half angry to death, what is there to congratulate?

Chen Yuan said eloquently: "Your Majesty, the so-called family has a good wife, the husband will not suffer misfortune, the family has a bad son, and the family will not be defeated." The country has a reservant, and it will not perish in its country. The prince dares to speak and speak straight, which shows that His Majesty is virtuous, and courtiers such as Yang Shiqi, Li Shimian and others also dare to speak. ”

Zhenguan is Li Shimin's year name, comparing himself to Li Shimin, it has always been Zhu Di's wish, Zhu Di was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said: "You slippery head, you can pat yourself on the back." ”

"No, no, it's a dragon's fart." Chen Yuan corrected it seriously.

"Slippery head, the world's first slippery head. With such a slippery head, I really suspect that you handed in the blank paper at the beginning, and that was on purpose. ”

Chen Yuan's eyes widened: "This has been discovered by His Majesty?" It seems that the minister is still not hiding deep enough. ”

Zhu Di laughed, became cautious after a while, and said to Chen Yuan: "The prince is brainless, he refuses to agree to go to the West, these ministers are opposed, I am also big-headed, I am not afraid of them, the matter of moving the capital has implicated so many pedantic people, I can't remove them all, you give me an idea, what should I do?" ”
