"However, you can't be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Chongzhen said categorically.

King Ding's fiery eyes dimmed again.

"You have to understand. The Ming Dynasty implements the primogeniture system, which is the best choice.

Although there may be a situation where the eldest son is not talented enough to govern the country well, this system ensures the smooth transition of imperial power, makes people's hearts stable, and the political power is stable. It is in line with the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty.

You may say that only a wise man can settle the world.

This is also true and not true.

The success of Tang Taizong's concubine is said to have created the rule of Zhenguan, but it has also opened a bad precedent.

Later, the princes of the Zhenguan Dynasty and the crown prince Li Chengqian fought to the death, which was in the same vein as the idea of the change of Xuanwumen.

The cannibalism of the royal brothers is not what the father wants to see, let alone the luck of the Ming Dynasty. ”

King Ding understood Chongzhen's thoughts, and although he was dissatisfied, he knew that it was difficult to change, so he didn't answer.

Seeing him like this, Chongzhen continued: "You can't be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but it is possible to go to other places to be the master. ”

King Ding was puzzled and still did not speak.

Chongzhen took King Ding's hand and came to the dragon case, where he slowly unfolded a painting.

"Jiong'er, this is the 'Kunyu Wanguo Quantu'!"

King Ding looked at the map, still puzzled.

"Look here." Chongzhen pointed to a place.

Zhu Cijiong looked at it and saw that it was written, North Ya Moliga.

"Here, there are plains that are wider than the Central Plains, there are big rivers that collapse like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, there are majestic peaks like Mount Tai and Yellow Mountain, there are people with yellow skin like us, and there are more abundant crops than the Ming Dynasty."

King Ding probably understood what Chongzhen meant, but still didn't speak.

"My son, are you ambitious, don't you want to go to that new world and be the founder of the country?"

"The Founding Father?" King Ding's eyes suddenly burst into light.

"Yes. That place, Da Ming has never explored. But the Hongyi have already begun to expand their territory there. ”

"What does my father mean by letting me go to a wild land to become a vassal?" King Ding changed his thinking, thought a lot, and asked with some hesitation.

"Then it's up to you. Do you want to open up the world like Taizu? "Chongzhen is good and seductive.

As soon as the four words of opening the world came out, they suddenly exploded in Zhu Cijiong's mind, and he muttered: "Taizu! ”

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "You focus on opening up the world and the earth, don't put it on Taizu!" ”

King Ding's heart was greatly impacted, his brain was still a little confused, and he didn't understand Chongzhen's words after listening to them, so he raised his head and stared.

"I am ready to reformulate the royal title, and the crown prince will still inherit the great treasure and ascend the throne as emperor. But other princes can take elite soldiers and people to the sea, go overseas to rebuild mountains and rivers, and be honored as kings! Regional autonomy, far away from the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Jun!" King Ding's heart was completely messy, what Chongzhen said was completely different from what he had learned in the past few years, and he couldn't accept it.

"Yes, you!

Under the emperor, I set up a new prince, called the king, and then the prince, and then the prince, and then the county king.

Under the county king, I am going to set up another prince and call him a king! ”

King Ding seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "Erchen doesn't understand very much. ”

"The king has just said that the prince and the prince are like the ancestral system.

The new subordinate king I set up is to seal the nobles or princes of the Ming Dynasty who have military merits overseas, dominate foreign tribes, and form a more stable power structure with the Ming Dynasty! ”

Chongzhen paused for a while, allowing King Ding time to digest.

"For example, if Wu Sangui can lead troops to retake Korea, I can give him a Korean king. Let him sit in the first section of North Korea.

Another example is your brother King Yong, I hope that he will be like you and make him king on a huge island in the South Seas. If he doesn't have that talent, I will make him a subordinate king in Luzon and Annam, which are close to the Ming Dynasty. ”

King Ding roughly understood, his eyes burned, and he looked at the map on the dragon case again.

Chongzhen saw that he was relieved, and said loudly: "Jiong'er, look at this 'Kunyu Wanguo Quantu', can you find out where Daming is?" ”

The map was clearly marked, and King Ding quickly found Daming's location, looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but say: "It's so small!" ”

Chongzhen snorted:

"On the map, it's really small. But if you think about it, in reality, the Ming Dynasty is north to the Liaodong Snow Plain, west to the Qianghu Hanhai, south to the Lingnan Jungle, and east to the boundless sea.

Da Ming, are you still young? ”

King Ding has not been to those places, it is unimaginable.

But he found Jingshi on the map, found Shanhaiguan, and used this as a reference for the distance, silently calculating the distance between Jingshi and other places in his heart, and he was very shocked in his heart.

"Father, the world is so big!"

Chongzhen listened, and looked at King Ding again, and asked this child to think about the Ming region, he actually jumped out directly, and took over the whole world with his heart.

"The world is big, and there are many powerful countries.

There are more borderlands, where people slash and burn, and drink blood, we Ming, should go there......"

Without waiting for Chongzhen to finish speaking, King Ding blurted out: "You should go there to expand the territory and save the Li people!" ”

Chongzhen smiled, he was really relieved, if King Ding could have this heart, he wouldn't have to worry about fratricidal flesh and blood, and he wouldn't have to worry about burying King Ding's talent!

"Father, my Ming Dynasty has always forbidden the sea, and the imperial court lacks ships, so can we go at such a long distance?" King Ding hesitated.

"My son was fooled by those Confucian students, and my Ming Dynasty has never forbidden the sea!" Chongzhen said loudly.

"But it's ...... in the book"

"It is better to believe in a book than to have no book!" Chongzhen corrected:

"When Taizu founded the country, he set up the city department early, but because of the remnants of the traitor Zhang Shicheng and others who went into exile, and because of the civil strife in Japan, its people crossed the sea to the Ming Dynasty to loot, and the coast was unbearable.

In addition, at that time, the focus of our Ming attack was on the northern grasslands, so we naturally chose to implement the sea ban first.

However, the sea ban is not for us not to go out, but to cut off the enemy's supplies, and it is also a sanction for overseas enemies. ”

When King Ding heard this, he said, "I see. He never told me that. ”

"They know a!" Chongzhen said angrily, "In the Chengzu period, the world was peaceful, and Chengzu immediately sent Zheng He to the West six times, and the court trade and tributary trade were in full swing.

Because of the huge strength of the imperial court fleet and the wealth gained from going to sea, Chengzu was able to build the canal, the Great Wall, Wudang, Bao'en Temple, Mongolia, Annan, build the imperial palace and move the capital to Beijing, and compile the Yongle Ceremony at the same time!

These things, Emperor Yang of Sui also did it, he was the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, but my Ming Dynasty Chengzu did it all at once, how also, in addition to Chengzu's eloquence, the contribution of overseas trade is also a big reason!

However, the imperial court almost monopolized overseas trade in the West, which blocked a large financial route for the Jiangnan gentry.

Later, Xuanzong succeeded to the throne several times, spent a lot of money to go to the West, devoted to promoting the national prestige, the purpose of going to sea was wrong, and he failed to bring back too much wealth in the South Seas, and then he was seized by the officials, so that he resigned the feat of going to the West. ”

Chongzhen's arms are bright
