Chapter 131: The Prince's Option

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was calm, without the momentum of the emperor, nor the strength he always had, as if he was an old father. Speaking eloquently for the prince, he said: "Being an emperor has never been a simple matter, the ministers have their own thoughts, employing people is a university question, close to the virtuous minister, far from the villain, it is easy to say, but how to be a virtuous minister, why is it a villain?" But it is a lifetime of difficult to figure out the university question, Fang Xiaoru is a disciple of Song Lian, honest and honest, never take anything in vain, in the secretary and prison, everything he does is very proper, and there is nothing to find fault with, back home, but the old wife is only, there are scholars to come to the banquet, never refuse, lecture, tired. ”

"If, if there is a grievance, Fang Xiaoru will definitely ask for three changes and change it."

"Isn't such a person a virtuous minister?"

"And what? The ruling side gets what to do with the least amount of money. It's just that he is in charge of the army, or he is in charge of the government, he has the means, and he has a long-term vision, and he can be the minister of the country, and he is also your sister-in-law, not only the minister of the humerus of the court, but also the minister of the Zhu family. Isn't he a virtuous minister? ”

"However, He Xi is in Beijing, selfishly, secretly cultivating generals many times, and installing them in the army, Ye Shen is the most typical of them, I dare to say that in Ye Shen's army, my words are not as effective as He Xi's words. Moreover, as for Liaodong, He Xi's influence is deep-rooted. It is also true to say that he cultivated henchmen and planned to do wrong. And what did Fang Xiaoru say in front of you? I won't mention it, I threaten the king with my ministers, and I want it to be seen that the punishment of his nine clans is all light. ”

"These are all virtuous ministers, but the villain doesn't dare to do this, at least not in front of me."

"Since ancient times, virtuous ministers have been difficult to use, and villains are easy to use."

What is a villain, that is the evil of the king.

For the sake of their own glory and wealth, they have no bottom line to meet the king, they have no achievements in politics, and they do not have any opinions, in order to meet the monarch, they can do anything without a bottom line, most of such people are not very capable.

Although, many villains are also very talented. But generally speaking, talented people are very confident and have their own persistence, even in the face of the emperor, it is impossible to completely give up their self-esteem and principles.

And the villain didn't have enough talent to rely on, so he used his obedience in exchange for more trust from the emperor.

Of course, that kind is very talented, but there is no bottom line. People who don't know shame and don't have a little self-esteem and self-love are the best in the villain's world.

Now that Fang Xiaoru didn't know what he was doing, he committed the taboo of the prince, but Fang Xiaoru still did it because he felt that this was the only way to save Daming from falling into a crisis. And He Xi reached out to the army, did he think that Zhu Yuanzhang would not know?

Naturally not, and He Xi felt that it was impossible to change the law without military support at all, even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew, he would have a way to deal with it.

Both of them are ministers who have their own principles and trust, and they can be said to be virtuous ministers, but they also have an impact on the imperial power. On the contrary, with a villain, there is no psychological burden at all. You can use it however you want.

The crown prince said, "Father, what do you think should be used?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said, "I think, do you listen to what I think?" ”

The prince is speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang Zhengse said: "Do you know what Fang Xiaoru has done during this period of time? What he did in your name, I don't think, you don't know. The reason why I don't move him is for you to do. ”

"Now there are three roads in the Ming Dynasty. First, you support He Xi and kill Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru wants to punish the ten clans, and he will be satisfied. Let the world's scholars, don't think nonsense, the future of the Ming Dynasty is the new law. Second, if you support Fang Xiaoru, then you will kill He Xi and let Fang Xiaoru preside over the government. However, Fang Xiaoru is a bit stubborn, but he is not inflexible, I think he will definitely abolish him and use his methods. It's just that I don't know what the name will be at that time. The third option is the worst option. ”

"You balance on both sides, and look at all aspects, but in fact, it is not, but let the dispute between the two parties be protracted, such as the Tang Dynasty's Niu Li Party Dispute, and the Northern Song Dynasty's New and Old Party Dispute. Even stretched for several dynasties, the death of the Northern Song Dynasty is probably in Si. My son knows it well. ”

The prince listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and the situation was very complicated, and Zhu Yuanzhang analyzed it clearly in a few words. The prince only felt that his heart was wide, but the prince became more and more at a loss. The prince is unwilling to choose these three paths.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the confusion in the prince's eyes, sighed, and said, "You go." Think about it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "Time is running out." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang can feel the weakness of his body more and more, what he said to the prince before is true. Zhu Yuanzhang in history lived to the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and now he is about to be Hongwu for twenty-five years, and it stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang still has six years.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was weak and powerless. He has reached the point where he can't accept old age.

Can you really live another six years?

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was critically ill several times in the last years of Hongwu. They all snatched a life from the ghost gate. Now, if there is a little accident, it is normal for him to leave early.

Zhu Yuanzhang is accustomed to life and death, and he also looks down on his own life and death, saying that he doesn't care at all, which is false. But that's not true to say how much you care.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to pave the way for the prince when he still had time and ability, stabilize the situation for the prince, and let the prince take over. The political situation in Daming remained stable and continued to move forward.

As a last resort, he didn't want to change the crown prince.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang can't leave an unstable prince, so Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't have much time, and there is not much time left for the prince. If the prince doesn't make up his mind, then Zhu Yuanzhang must make a big adjustment in the last period of his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not say this. But the prince also knows.

In the past two years, the crown prince has been resisting Zhu Yuanzhang's will by various means. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is soft-spoken, he is actually firm in his will and does not reduce half a point.

------

The crown prince returned to the East Palace.

He sat in front of the bookcase, watching all aspects of the steam engine in front of him, until late into the night. In fact, these words only flowed in front of the prince's eyes, and they didn't have much in his heart. In the heart of the prince, there has been a fierce battle.

All kinds of ideas, like a marquee, you sing, I take the stage. The prince has been pondering.

I don't know when, the prince supported his forehead with his hand, and actually fell asleep.

The dream was muddy, and many things were not clear. Come for no reason, go for no reason.

Suddenly, the prince found himself sitting on top of the high hall, and there was a person kneeling in front of him, none other than Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru was covered in blood, even if he knelt on the ground, he looked iron-clad, and said sharply: "Faint monarch, deviate from the way of the sages." Perversely, justice for the world, what is the fear of the nine clans, you might as well punish the ten clans. ”

The prince shook his head desperately and said, "No, no, no. ”

This is his true emotion.

The relationship between the prince and Song Lian is very good, and it is the real master-apprentice relationship. As Zhu Yuanzhang said, Fang Xiaoru can't find fault with his knowledge and private morality. Even if you don't mention Song Lian's teacher-student relationship, just say that the prince and Fang Xiaoru have cooperated for so many years, and many ideas are not only Fang Xiaoru's thoughts, but also the prince's thoughts, how can the prince abandon Fang Xiaoru and kill him.

This is something that the prince will never be able to do. 33

The scene in front of the prince's dream suddenly changed. He saw two people, one big and one small, dressed in white, with their backs to him. It seems to be crying.

The prince walked over from behind, and the two people, one big and one small, suddenly turned around, and it was none other than him. It is He Yuansi, the son of Princess Anqing and He Xi.

The two of them cried with red tears, their faces were pale, and there was a kind of infiltrating hatred in their eyes.

The prince was taken aback and asked, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Princess Anqing's tone was full of hatred, and she said, "What's wrong with me? Don't you know? ”

Some people died, but not completely......
