Chapter 603: The Peace of the World
When Zhu Di said this.
But all the wise vassal kings already know what His Majesty means.
In ancient times, the four characters of selflessness were a very high evaluation.
Because for the ancients, the so-called Qi family ruled the country and leveled the world, and in the family, there were differences between the elders and the young. As far as the country is concerned, the state has distant and close relatives; As far as the world is concerned, there are hundreds of people in the world, all kinds of differences, if you want to convince people without causing complaints, then it is very important to be selfless.
The affairs of the world can not be summed up only by the so-called virtuous words.
Because no matter how high your ability is, even if you can suppress all the people, even if you are literary and martial, have the ability of the overlord of Chu, and have the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming.
No matter how clever the means and wisdom are, after all, it is only to temporarily suppress everyone's complaints.
Over time, these complaints don't go away, they just settle down until they finally erupt.
Therefore, if these words were placed in later generations, they would have long been abandoned.
But in fact, the reason why the ancients made such a choice was not just that they were stupid.
Because whether it is selflessness or other morality, its essence is to make the people of the world trust you!
If you can't even rely on basic trust, then all the means and strategies are actually empty talk.
Just like Zhu Di's selfless words to Grand Duke Zhang Anshi, the essence is that if everyone trusts Zhang Anshi! Then, if Zhang Anshi divides the domain again in the future, everyone is willing to admit it! Or maybe there are disputes and contradictions between the vassal kings, and there is a great duke and selfless person who comes out to mediate, and everyone is willing to take a step back from each other! Because they believe that this person will never favor their opponents.
On the other hand, if we can't gain such trust and refuse to convince each other, then the dispute will never stop, and the endless internal friction will continue.
To put it bluntly, the productivity of the ancients was relatively low and could not bear the huge cost of internal friction, and the so-called rule by virtue itself is to use the minimum resources to solve the problem.
But at this moment, the hearts of the vassal kings began to murmur.
In fact, although they are in the domain, there are some things, and they have heard a lot, but don't underestimate these feudal kings, although they are overseas, they also have their own cronies stationed in the capital, and they inquire about all kinds of news circulating in the capital every day.
His Majesty has long had the intention of restraining the vassal king, and the previous patriarchal law has been difficult to restrain the clan relatives. After all, the current clansmen are far away, and with the increasing number of clansmen, the imperial court has become more and more out of reach.
Therefore, there are many people who covet the benefits here.
For Zhu Di's brothers, they are of higher seniority, and of course they should not let this kind of thing happen.
And for vassal kings like King Han and King Zhao, he is the son of His Majesty, and he can't be the prince, but he can't manage the affairs of his clan?
Who knows, it is Zhang Anshi who is killed now.
As a result, many people's hearts can't help but be empty.
can think about it carefully, it is helpless, but I also have to admit that everyone is afraid that it is uncomfortable for everyone to be afraid of who this good thing falls on.
On the contrary, Zhang Anshi is such an 'outsider', and he can barely be accepted!
What's more, Zhang Anshi has a lot of orders for ordnance and gunpowder, and he is also a good hand at trading, and many maritime merchants who travel back and forth almost wear a pair of pants with him, in this regard, everyone still has something to ask for from Zhang Anshi.
Not to mention, this time to divide the domain, Zhang Anshi really didn't say that the best piece of domain land was not given to his own nephew, but to King Zheng first!
Of course............ This King Zheng is not open-minded and stupid, so he actually refused to leave, this is not Zhang Anshi's problem.
Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhan'e.
The mockery in this gaze is still very clear.
Zhu Zhanjun: "......."
But despite thinking so, everyone is still silent, after all, these arrogant vassal kings, it is one thing to teach them to reluctantly admit it, but it is another thing to teach them to happily seconded and agree.
Slippery.
Even the hearts of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, were also sour at this time
These two guys are arrogant people, but they tried to be big, but they ............ They were all hanged.
can't compete for the big position, and now I can't even get the position of the clan family's mansion, which is a bit embarrassing.
Zhu Di saw that everyone was silent, and seemed to have insight into their hearts, but he only smiled faintly and said to Zhu Zhanjun gently: "Jung'e, did you say?" ”
Zhu Zhan'ai was already ashamed at this time, and he had just been punctured, how his uncle took care of him, and he was a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he didn't know the hearts of good people.
Now that the imperial grandfather asked his head, he categorically couldn't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise he would be ignorant.
It seems that because Zhu Di has already figured out his situation, he asked him to say this, which is really being manipulated.
At that moment, Zhu Zhan'ai said: "What the emperor's grandfather said is true, clan affairs are crucial......
Zhu Di sang and said: "Not only is it crucial, since the kings have been divided overseas, the affairs of this clan have almost been abandoned. ”
Zhu Di paused in his tone, and then said: "The emperor is far away, the big guys are all lively overseas, and the court is beyond the reach of the whip, what can I do?" Nowadays, everyone is a close relative, and there is always some affection, so there is little dirt. But after a long time, two or three generations, after the five suits, won't the vassal kings have disputes, people have no long-term concerns, and there will be near-term worries. ”
"This decree is ............ It must be strengthened, and there must be the decrees of the clans, and the mediation between the kings. Now it's different from the past, the old rules don't work now, so you have to use the new one. Just like this new policy, everything in the world has changed, and this is a matter of clan affairs, and it cannot be left behind. ”
Having said that, who of the kings would dare to have any objections?
The Son of Heaven.
However, Zhu Di can have such a sense of distress, and he is indeed worthy of being promising in history
He had obviously foreseen that the situation would change in the future, and everyone would be able to enjoy themselves now, partly because the vassal states did not have many borders now, and the main energy was also dealing with the local natives. The second is that they are still blood relatives at the moment.
But what about the future? It's hard to say in the future!
If there are no rules, there will be no circle, so you have to set the rules! If there is a conflict, how to mediate? If a crime is committed, how should it be punished?
Then the kings said, "What your majesty has said is very true. ”
Zhu Di was very satisfied, and took the opportunity to say: "The decree of this clan is drawn up by Zhang Qing's contact, you are a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, this is your duty." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Zhu Di continued to smile and said: "In addition, the Zuo Zongzheng of the Zongling Mansion is set up, and the elders of the Zongwang live in it, and this Zuo Zongling Mansion is located in the capital. In addition, set up the Right Sect Command Mansion, I see, this Right Sect is right, just teach Zhang Qing to take care of it, and this Right Sect Command Mansion will be folded in Xinzhou. Zuo Zongzheng was responsible for issuing official documents of the clan decree and approving the affairs of the clan. The Right Sect Command Mansion is responsible for supervising the clansmen overseas, what do you think? ”
When the kings heard this, they were silent.
They are all shrewd people, and after listening to this arrangement, they probably understand that if the Zuo Zongling Mansion is responsible for approving and supervising, then it is equivalent to Dali Temple. And the Right Sect Command Mansion is responsible for the specific execution, and bears the responsibility of controlling the clan, which is actually equivalent to the Criminal Department.
One is approved, and the other is working.
As for the Zuo Zongzheng and the Right Zongzheng, naturally, the status of the nominally Zuo Zongzheng is more prominent, but the actual situation is completely different, because His Majesty said that the elders among the clan relatives live in it.
Nowadays, the eldest vassal king is already seventy years old, and this kind of energy is more just a vase! To put it bluntly, I'm here to take care of my juniors!
It's hard to think of what he really does.
What's more, in a few years, I am afraid that I will be eighty years old, and even if someone lives a long life and is ninety years old, it may not be impossible, after all, the elderly live there! The descendants of the old Zhu family will always have a long-lived person with genetic mutations, as long as there is still a breath, with his age, he will be able to occupy the position.
On the contrary, this right Zongzheng, although the status of the Zongling Mansion is inferior to the left Zongzheng, but because it is far away from the center, this Zongzheng Mansion is located in Xinzhou, and the Zuo Zongzheng is in the prime of life, and it is bound to be Zongzheng in the future, and he will be in the hands of the right Zongzheng.
This pair of boots finally hit the ground.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly thanked him.
The kings also seconded it.
Zhu Di was happy, and he enjoyed the day, and then the kings dispersed with a slight smoke.
After a few days, the will finally came down.
Zhang Anshi took the will, but after this will, there was a new announcement, but Zhang Anshi did not expect it.
Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty announced to the world that because the emperor was old and could not look at things, he would pass on the crown prince and return to the government and retire. On the third day of the next month, the Inner Zen ceremony will be held, the seal will be awarded, and the emperor will be honored.
Zhang Anshi was not aware of this news, that is to say, this matter was only finalized by Zhu Di alone, and it was not disclosed to anyone in advance.
In this edict, there is still some interesting content: I have such a long life, which is blessed by the sky, and God is also lucky. I was born in a horse, and I was strong and strong, but by the time I was 60, I felt that my energy was not as good as before, so that I delayed the military aircraft and delayed the national affairs! Therefore, I should take this as an example for my descendants, the son of tomorrow, to sixty, and be the emperor.
Zhang Anshi's eyes were straight when he read this edict, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Anshi understood what Zhu Di meant! When the emperor reached sixty, his energy began to run low.
You know, this is the average life expectancy of only 30 years old in ancient times, the ancients because of medicine and nutrition, in fact, many people in their thirties and forties, in fact, have already appeared premature aging.
And those who can live past sixty can be said to be very rare, even among the emperors, it is rare.
But the military and political affairs of the world are obviously more onerous than before, and the social division of labor has begun to be refined, the imperial court has begun to even need to extend its tentacles to the countryside, and overseas clan affairs have also begun to appear.
If you don't have enough energy, even if you have more scholars, scholars, scholars, and squires to assist, it will not be enough.
Therefore, abdicating at the age of 60 is reasonable.
Of course, Zhang Anshi faintly felt that Zhu Di's purpose in doing this was obviously more than that, it was clear that he was also planning for his most precious grandson Zhu Zhanji.
Now, his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi's body is getting stronger and stronger, and the medical school is becoming more and more complete, so he is afraid of life in the future, and he may not be under Zhu Di.
Zhu Di knows that his son Zhu Gaochi has been the prince for nearly 30 years, and the anxiety can be imagined.
But if this development continues, Zhu Gaochi, who is now close to 50 years old, may be the son of heaven for another twenty or thirty years, and it may not be impossible.
If the edict is issued by the Ming Dynasty and this is customized, it means that his grandson Zhu Zhanji will not have to be thirty or twenty years old, like his father, until he is old, before he succeeds to the unification.
Therefore, in Zhu Di's view, although his son is not bad, he is obviously just a tool for transition!
He believes that the one who can really shine brightly and bring the Ming Dynasty into a very prosperous world should be this grandson Zhu Zhanji, who resembles himself.
Zhang Anshi, who wanted to understand this layer, only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
It's unified.
I am glad that my brother-in-law has finally become a daughter-in-law for many years, and he can finally succeed
Sadly, the position of emperor is only eleven years.
Is this a happy event?
Forgive the world.
In any case, the ceremony of awarding the seal was held as scheduled, and Zhu Gaochi was the emperor
And Zhu Di had already moved out of Ouchi early, but went to live in another palace.
He doesn't seem to want to manage things very much.
For the courtiers, the world seems to have changed, but it seems to have not changed.
In Zhang Anshi's view, this is the deepest feeling.
After all, the prince has been in charge of the country for so many years, in fact, many affairs are decided by himself, the prince's brother-in-law.
Until the end of the year, Zhang Anshi was summoned to another palace by Zhu Di.
Here, Yisha waited for Zhang Anshi with a smile, he was already old, his hair was silver, and he was supported by an old eunuch when he walked, but his spirit was not bad.
At this time, he said: "His Royal Highness King Song, the emperor is waiting for you."
Zhang Anshi nodded, and Xu walked into the hall.
Zhu Di was sitting upright, holding a tea cup in his hand.
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister has seen ............"
Zhu Di waved his hand.
Zhang Anshi said again: "Recently, the capital has ........."
It's over. ”
Zhu Di shook his head again and said, "You don't have to say these things to me, I don't want to hear these anymore."
Zhang Anshi said: "What does the emperor want to talk about?" ”
Zhu Di's eyes were half-closed, and he suddenly said: "Qixia Commercial Company, is there a cruise ship?" ”
Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Yes." ”
Zhu Di said: "I don't want to care about the affairs of the capital. You, it's time to be idle, I'm old, I'm about to die, and I don't care about the others, but I want to go to this land of the four seas to take a walk and have a look. ”
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Emperor, don't do it, the emperor is old............
Zhu Di laughed: "Are you worried that I will die on the way to the tour like that Qin Shi Huang." ”
did not wait for Zhang Anshi to respond.
Zhu Di said: "I, in fact, in this life, I am not a peaceful person!" Playing small, on the order of Emperor Taizu Gao, he went to Fengyang, went to Beiping, and attacked Liaodong and the desert. After that, he went through the battle of Jingjing and became the son of heaven for so many years. ”
"I sometimes think about it and feel that I am really not the material for the Son of Heaven. If it is decided today, and the crown prince has succeeded to the throne, I have nothing to regret, it is time to stay in another palace and enjoy my old age.
But............ Even at this point, I still don't want to be in peace, I always feel ............ The world is so big, you should take a look. ”
Zhang Anshi was silent.
Senior Tour ............ I know everything.
Zhu Di said: "The reason why the first emperor is called the first emperor in the world is that he is the first person of the emperor, abolishing the states of the world and placing counties and counties, which can be described as outstanding through the ages. Yes, although Qin Zuo is short-lived, it can also be called a masterpiece of the world.
"Naturally, I don't dare to compare myself with the First Emperor, but if I die overseas, on an island, on a ship somewhere, it is not impossible. Zhang Qing, the king of the ancients, turned a blind eye to the vast ocean. But now...... The wealth of my Ming Dynasty is taken from the sea, if I am dying, I can die on this ocean, I think it can be regarded as a thousand years of achievements, get a consummation. ”
Zhang Anshi sighed: "What Your Majesty said is not unreasonable. ”
Zhu Di said with satisfaction: "Then............ Just take a walk, don't be extravagant, don't have to spend a lot of money, just have a few boats. Zhang Qing accompanied the driver, and the rest of the meritorious ministers who were still alive, but those who were still strong also drove with them. This is the will of the Emperor, and it is irrefutable. ”
Zhang Anshi listened, so he had no choice but to say: "Then, the minister............ Compliance. ”
Zhu Di said: "I'm going to work hard for you again." ”
"Your Majesty loves ......"
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't talk bullshit." ”
Zhu Di paused, and suddenly said: "Zhang Qing, you say, what will these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains look like in the end?" ”
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and said, "The minister can't answer."
Zhu Di said: "Yes, on weekdays, aren't you very smart?" This new deal is so difficult, it can be accomplished......."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the success of the new deal is not only due to the promotion of the ministers, but also to the strength of Your Majesty. Kechen thought, the reason why he was able to succeed ... In fact, it lies in the hearts of people. ”
"People's hearts?"
"People's hearts are determined, but people's hearts also change. Thousands of military and civilian people have the desire of a family to be able to feed themselves, and the people of the world are also looking forward to the next year being better than this year. ”
"Even if there are obstacles, can no matter how big the obstacles are, reach the hearts of millions of people? Therefore, although the ministers have the merit of promoting, in the end, the success or failure of this new policy does not depend on the ministers. Now, the success or failure of the new policy in the future does not lie in the ministers, but in the people of the world. ”
Zhu Di frowned, thoughtful.
After a long time, Zhu Di sighed and said: "I and the Qing family have done their best, and the affairs of the descendants of the future generations, what is their heart, let it go." ”
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di steadily, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile.
"The end of the book", thank you for your continued support!
