In the study of the East Pavilion, Lao Zhu listened to his precious twenty-third grandson, and glared: "You are ...... It's the same as if it wasn't said. ”

To put it simply......

Say it's difficult......

Anyway, if both sides say it, it means that neither side says it.

What's more, what Zhu Yuan mentioned, hereditary replacement and decreasing titles go hand in hand, Lao Zhu can of course think of it in private, and similarly, he can also think of the drawbacks.

Zhu Yuan saw the staring appearance of his ancestor, and shrunk his neck cooperatively: "Ancestor, what if...... Let me be honest, there is nothing perfect in this world. ”

When these words came out, both grandparents and grandchildren were silent.

That's the truth.

Moreover, it is also a fact that both grandparents and grandchildren understand.

Why should governing the country be 'modest', and why should it be 'like cooking a small fresh', to put it bluntly, it is to find a balance in an imperfect world.

Zhu Yuan also thought of the past.

Lao Zhu began to compile the 'Ancestral Training' from the second year of Hongwu, tinkering, adding and decreasing, until the end of Hongwu, and finally determined the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training", however, someone has been painstakingly lonely for more than 20 years, and in the end he has not stopped himself from dying for only a year, and Daming has already begun a roommate between uncle and nephew.

On the other side of the bookcase, Lao Zhu probably thought of something similar, his expression was even more stinky, and he stared at it: "Just think about it, don't say anything about this matter, it's you, and you have to deal with it." ”

Zhu Yuan simply shook his head: "Ancestor, in my state, it is enough to have a twelfth generation, and even, to put it more bluntly, I am a person who is more inclined to 'children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren', in the future, my children, if they have a future, just like me, do something for our Daming." If there is no income, you will enjoy happiness in peace. If it's worse...... Well, I'm a father, and I should be punished. As I said to the people below, ancestors, I believe in fate, I think, whether it is a person, or a clan, blessings are certain, if a person does not know how to cherish, recklessly, even if he survives this life, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be on the children. ”

Lao Zhu looked at the young man who looked like he was only a teenager opposite, his expression softened a little, and he shook his head slightly: "You...... It would be nice if my children could be like you in the future. ”

This......

It's a bit difficult.

Unless your children are all worn by human souls, and they are all human beings in two lives.

Well.

Or don't.

What to wear more, the most annoying!

The matter about the knighthood has been bothering Lao Zhu for a long time, and he asked it today, but he didn't expect that the twenty-third grandson of his own treasure, who relied on him the most, did not give a result, Lao Zhu was unwilling in the end, thought about it, and still asked: "Yuan'er, you just think about it again, if you are in my position...... Should...... The ......"

Halfway through Lao Zhu's speech, he remembered some of the words that the child on the other side had just said, and suddenly had some understanding, but he didn't catch it for a while.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Children and grandchildren have their own ......

Zhu Yuan didn't expect Lao Zhu to put him in a certain position to consider, which was a bit taboo, and he was thinking about how to speak, but Lao Zhu stuck himself in the middle of speaking.

After staring at each other like this for a moment, Zhu Yuan finally heard Lao Zhu's soft chatter.

Just one of my own sentences.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuan suddenly became enlightened.

Look at the other side again.

After a short moment, Lao Zhu had already laughed by himself: "This ...... It's also me, I always worry too much, but in fact, I ...... I've thought about it for a long time...... Thought. ”

Now it was Zhu Yuan's turn to be curious: "Ancestor, what have you thought about?" ”

"In the future, we will be separated...... Lao Zhu said, but he still paused before continuing: "...... Just do it crisply, and don't drag the mud and water, which is good. ”

Zhu Yuan followed suddenly.

Following Lao Zhu's train of thought, after thinking for a while, Zhu Yuan boldly proposed: "Ancestor, in fact, ...... Well, the Wa Kingdom we just talked about, you know, they are ...... now. Actually, there are two emperors. ”

Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows: "Two ...... Emperor? ”

On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with the fact that the little lord of the country dared to call himself emperor, but then, more of them thought of their own family.

Zhu Yuan nodded, and said with a smile: "The rules in this world have always been set by people, King Yingzheng of Qin ascended the throne and called the first emperor, and made the jade seal of the country, so there is my Chinese orthodoxy, then, when you come to the ancestors, in the future, why can't you create it again, you are an emperor father, and you have more than ten or twenty emperor sons, as long as our Ming is strong enough, and the Zhu family is strong enough, who can say anything?" ”

This line of thinking ......

When Lao Zhu heard it at first glance, it was really a bit rebellious. However, after careful consideration, it soon became transparent again.

Transparent to the point that it can no longer be transparent.

Because, in this case...... First of all, one advantage is that when the time comes, there will be no conflict between hereditary succession and diminishing titles.

The emperor must be hereditary.

Though......

There are a lot of emperors this time.

Further, if you don't want your country to be unsustainable in the future because of the burden of the clan and the nobles, then obediently implement a system of decreasing titles in accordance with the law of the ancestors.

It's that simple.

As for...... A whole bunch of emperors......

At first glance, it's still a little uncomfortable, but ...... Is there a better way?

Lao Zhu thought for a while, returned to the front again, and looked at his own baby twenty-third grandson opposite with a smile: "Yuan'er, your method is not bad, but you also want to occupy the position of an emperor?" ”

Zhu Yuan raised his hands slightly: "Ancestor, this is really not, the emperor is too tired to work, and my body can't stand it." ”

Lao Zhu saw the appearance of the young man on the opposite side raising his hands, waved his hand and pressed it: "In this case, you forget it, in the future, when you have a child......"

"Ancestor, this kind of thing ......" Zhu Yuan hurriedly interrupted: "...... What will happen in the future, we will talk about it in the future. ”

Zhu Yuan believed in Lao Zhu's promise.

However, this promise is still not the best.

Because Zhu Yuan believes in the impermanence of the world.

If the promise is made now, in the future, for various reasons, there will be no way to fulfill it, and Lao Zhu will be embarrassed. Ordinary people are embarrassed, that is, embarrassed. His Majesty the Emperor was embarrassed...... To avoid this feeling, it's hard to say what will happen.

Moreover, on the other hand, Zhu Yuan does not want his children to have this luxury in advance in the future.

Just like in this vast history of China, after the promises made by the superiors, they cannot be fulfilled, and the result is often that either the people above have lifted the table, or the people below have lifted the table.

Anyway, it's better for everyone to keep a little bit.

Lao Zhu was interrupted, and when he saw the sincere and eager appearance of his own treasure twenty-third grandson opposite, he hesitated a little, and simply stopped. He looked at the engraved watch in the study, and it was almost five o'clock, so he said, "In that case, you should go back today and rest early." ”

Zhu Yuan got up and was about to retire, remembering a previous thought, he temporarily said: "Ancestor, about Liu Lian's matter this time, I mean, technical protection, you can talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes after tea and dinner." I think this matter is very important, and His Highness should be allowed to have an idea earlier. ”

Zhu Yuan knew that after he proposed it last year, Lao Zhu had been implementing a plan to teach his sons in person when he had time.

Lao Zhu happened to arrange a time to teach his children after dinner tonight, and originally wanted to talk about this 'Daiqu victory', after all, it was an exciting thing, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuan to mention this, he also knew the importance of technical protection, but he still asked: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Zhu Yuan said: "This is probably a question about the pattern. Ancestors, the pattern is very important, but the bigger the pattern, the better. Just like Confucianism, because of the emphasis on 'educating all directions', there will be the state of being a good teacher like Liu Lian before, and he is willing to communicate with others about what should be said and what should not be said. However, now, Liu Lian has found out that he was wrong. As far as it is preaching, some knowledge, such as morality and etiquette, should have a large pattern and ...... in the future If others don't learn, we have to force them in. However, when it comes to the critical technology of a country's productive forces, our pattern must be small, to what extent, and if someone dares to steal our technology, in order to suppress the other party, we must not hesitate to fight a war, because the national economy is a more important matter than morality and etiquette. Oh, as I said before, Cangqiao really knows etiquette, if Cangqiao is empty...... As a result, there will be no 'knowing etiquette', and it is more likely that etiquette will collapse to the extreme'. ”

After listening to this, Lao Zhu picked up the charcoal pen on the side and quickly memorized some of it, and said, "I know, just like you said." ”

Only then did Zhu Yuan leave.

When I got home, it was already dark.

After changing clothes and washing up, I came to the dining room in the west wing of the inner house, ate dinner, and talked about some things before: "Mr. Dai's family has settled down, and Mr. Dai has also accepted the gifts ordered by the adults." ”

Dai Sanchun said a few years ago that his family would come to Jinling, and when the time comes, he will also move out of the small courtyard in the southeast of his house.

Precisely today.

At noon, Dai Sanchun's family was invited to a banquet, but Zhu Yuan didn't expect it, and when he was only halfway through eating, he was called by Lao Zhu, and he has been busy until now.

Just came to this world the year before last, in Shandong, Zhu Yuan almost went back, or Dai Sanchun's wonderful hands to rejuvenate, so he is his own life-saving benefactor, Zhu Yuan has never forgotten this kindness.

At the moment, when I heard what I said, I put my mind at ease.

However, he still advised: "If there are any problems in the life of the Dai family in the future, you should pay more attention to it and help in time." ”

Nodding freely, he continued, "Again, afternoon...... Xue Shu of Dinghai Zhixian came to the door, the adult was not there, he waited for an hour, and left, but left the accommodation address. Also, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wenzao also came with him and left a post, hoping that the adults would come to visit again when they had time. ”

Xue Shu, smell and create.

Zhu Yuan couldn't help laughing.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, this side ...... When a certain predecessor Dinghai Zhixian arrived in Jinling, Mingzhou had a great victory in Daiqu.

As for smelling.

I went to Liaodong before, brought back the black soil and a lot of news, because I was hunted down, I had to take a detour to Goryeo to return by sea and arrive in Mingzhou.

The two came to visit together today, and if they want to come, they should also come to Jinling from Mingzhou together.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan said, "Tomorrow, let Xue Shu ...... Well, both of them, come over in the morning. ”

I have something serious to talk about with Xue Shu.

About Gansu, about Dunhuang.

As for Wen Zao, since the two are walking together, let's talk about it together.

Maybe......

If Wen Zao is willing to follow Xue Shu to Gansu again, Zhu Yuan is also willing to push the boat down the river.
