Zhu Qiyu's face became solemn, let go of the hand that was hooked on his son's shoulder, and the two fathers and sons walked side by side to Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu said: "Seeing Ji, my father feels that although some words are ugly, I have to say them to you, don't blame my father for chattering, the main thing is that the current national situation is indeed a bit like walking on thin ice."

Zhu Jianji was surprised, "Why did my father say that?"

How brilliant the Ming is now.

Where does it come from?

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "The territory left by our old Zhu family ancestors to our father and son is actually not big, let's talk about it behind closed doors-", Zhu Qiyu lowered his voice, "Your imperial grandfather, a loser, also lost Jiaozhi, if it weren't for your imperial grandfather's other aspects of cultural and martial arts, future generations would discuss whether he would be invited to the vegetable temple."

Zhu Jianji was speechless, "That's your father!"

Zhu Qiyu smiled dryly, "Isn't this discussing national interests with you, what's the matter, I can praise my father for doing well, but if he doesn't do well, I can't talk about it as a son?"

Zhu Jianji thought about this for a while, but still helped Zhu Zhanji intercede, "There is one thing to say, the emperor's grandfather lost Jiaozhi, it is not his fault alone, it is the decline of the strength of the entire country, and he can't keep Jiaozhi, and it just happens that Jiaozhi is the male character of Li Taizu Li Li, and later generations will talk about merit and demerits, so how can this pot be arranged for the imperial grandfather."

Zhu Qiyu was slightly relieved, and then a little sour, "The rabbit cub is still a little filial?!"

Here in Lao Tzu, why haven't I seen you so filial.

Zhu Jianji was upright, "It's just a matter of facts, and it's definitely not biased in favor of the emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Qiyu hummed, "Don't talk too far, let's get down to business." The territory left by our ancestors to our father and son is so big, if it weren't for your father and me and Yu Shaobao to turn the tide, we wouldn't even be able to keep such a large territory, maybe our father and son are now the same as Gaozong Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty, and they are in the southern corner."

Zhu Jianji nodded, "So Yu Shaobao is the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, so you Zhu Qiyu can go down in history."

Zhu Qiyu, "......"

There was no defense of Beijing, and Jingtai Zhongxing, built by Lao Tzu, is also famous in history.

How did he know that without Zhu Jianji's butterfly wings, his Jingtai Zhongxing was only eight years old, and his reputation in the history books was not very good.

There is no decisive spirit of the emperor.

For any emperor, it is impossible to let Zhu Qizhen return to Gyeonggi alive, even if he comes back alive, he will not live for a few years.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu is not to blame for this.

Zhu Qiyu is wrong in benevolence.

There is also a person who has a pot to carry on his back.

Yu Shaobao!

Yu Shaobao is standing in line.

But the essence of this matter is actually the violent death of the historical prince Zhu Jianji, and it is precisely because Zhu Jianji died that Zhu Qiyu has no heir, so Yu Qian does not know how to stand in line.

And Zhu Jianji's death is likely to be done by the supporters of the Baozong.

So in the final analysis, Zhu Qiyu is not ruthless enough!

At this moment, the two fathers and sons had already entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, and Zhu Qiyu said to Shu Liang: "Let the ministers wait and come in again, I have something to discuss with Your Majesty, by the way, prepare some breakfast."

Shu Liang immediately went to arrange.

Zhu Qiyu sat down on the warm couch, looked at his son sitting behind the imperial desk, and said: "There is one thing to say, from ancient times to the present, the Central Plains Dynasty has never thought about it, or has no ability to expand the area outside the current territory of my Ming Dynasty, such as Mobei and Indochina Peninsula, but there is a dynasty that has done it, Qianyuan, but you have also seen the ending of Qianyuan, the huge territory, they can't govern it at all, in the same way, if my Ming Dynasty territory is also multiplied like this, see Ji, can our old Zhu family govern it well?"

Because too large a territory will bring a huge burden to the central court, and a little turmoil may affect the strength of the entire country.

It is the law of the ages that the more powerful the empire, the faster it will decline.

No one can avoid it.

Zhu Qiyu is worried about this issue now.

If the old Zhu family operates on the inherent territory and uses the best resources, land, and talents to build the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the descendants do not come out of the Great Dusk, there will be no problem with the national glory for another two hundred years.

But now that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is about to double, there are too many hidden dangers.

Slightly careless......

It is not a question of losing some territory, and it is very likely to shake the national ancestry.

It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country.

Zhu Jianji felt the same way when he heard this, those immortal empires that spanned one or two continents in history, almost without exception, did not last long, and as soon as the founding king of the enterprise died, the empire quickly fell apart.

This trend is not based on the combat power of the Empire's army.

The iron horse of the former yuan is unparalleled in the world.

The result is not the same, and it falls apart extremely quickly.

Because the collapse of the empire is probably not due to the threat of force from the outside, but something has gone wrong within the empire, a huge empire, and in terms of the system of the feudal era, the central court's control over the local area is too weak.

Once the place is strong, it is possible to become independent, and the knock-on effect is the collapse of the empire.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianji said slowly: "I really haven't thought about this, but there is one thing I want to tell Lao Zhu first, the collapse of the former Yuan is not because their territory is too large, but because of their political and military systems, and they are born as nomads, there are not enough talents to manage the future of a unified empire. Isn't that the standard for falling apart? That's why I'm paying special attention to this year's political affairs, and I have to implement a series of policies to prevent this from happening!"

Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It turned out that the son had a mirror in his heart.

"That's the way it is, but there is a word called more than enough heart but not enough, these years you have ruled the Ming Dynasty, except for a Taiwan and the Northeast, the rest are left by the ancestors, all of them are my inherent territory of China, so these places can obey the decree of Gyeonggi, but now there is a Northeast, Cochin, Champong, Nanzhang, and the next Phnom Penh, Ayutthaya and Mobei, even if you have all kinds of good policies, but the magnates, landlords, and officials in these places will go against the sun for their own interests. And the central power is beyond the reach of these distant territories, and when the time comes, if there is a problem in one place, it is likely that everywhere will respond, how can it deal with it at that time?"

Further centralization?

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu believes that the current centralization has reached the extreme, and it is impossible to further strengthen the centralization.

Zhu Jianji was silent for a while, "It's to think about this issue carefully."
