Chapter 416: The Future Through the Eyes
Life is a mass of desires, if you don't get it, you will be miserable, and if you are satisfied, you will be bored.
This sentence is actually very appropriate for the current situation.
Think about the early years of Yongle, when the people at that time were harassed by Chen Jikuo of the Great Yue Kingdom in the south, harassed by the Japanese who crossed the sea in the east, the Guanxi Qiwei who were increasingly self-aggrandizing in the west, and the Warat and Tatar in the north.
At that time, Da Ming was actually really embattled.
Although, even without the appearance of Zhu Zhanqi, Emperor Taizong will still break this deadlock with absolute toughness and achieve the Yongle prosperity recorded in the history books, but I have to say that Zhu Zhanqi took a completely different path.
Although he was still young at that time, Zhu Zhanyan still remembered that he was in Yingtianfu without the army on the northern expedition, and with the good news of the northern expedition, especially when his eldest brother killed the enemy Kou on the grassland and built the Beijing Temple, the people of Yingtianfu cheered.
At that time, the people of the Ming Dynasty had been suppressed for too long.
The idea of governing the country with benevolence shackled the Central Plains and the Han people, and Zhu Zhan was the first, and arguably the only one since the Song Dynasty, to break the framework and solve this problem in an unconventional way.
Later, Zhu Zhan Yan burned down Annan and slaughtered the city, which made the Han people, who had been imprisoned by Confucianism for more than 100 years, raise their eyebrows.
However, after being satisfied, under the comfortable life, people began to get bored, so bored that they began to talk about the government and politics, and began to talk about Zhu Zhanyan, who was still fighting everywhere.
This is the origin of Zhu Zhanyan's notoriety, and it is also the reason why he has gradually lost the support of the people over the years.
Because people like to enjoy the sweet fruits of victory, but they are not willing to pay for victory.
However, it is the so-called peak loop turn.
In this world, nothing is set in stone, even if you are prepared for everything and deduce all the possibilities that may happen, there are always places that you can't calculate.
The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people escape one of them.
Perhaps, that's what it means.
It was night, and it was the Han Palace.
In this spring, although there is some warmth, it is still a little cold at night, Zhu Gaoxu is sitting under the gazebo in the courtyard, and opposite is his wife.
"So, now is the opportunity?" Princess Wu was a little stunned, her mouth opened slightly, and she seemed to be a little disbelieving.
"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
"If there are no accidents, there may be better opportunities in the future, but for now, this is the best opportunity that Zhan Yan has encountered."
"Then ......" Princess Wu's expression became solemn.
"Turning back...... No, tomorrow, I'll talk to Seon-sook tomorrow. ”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry." Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, he understood his wife's eagerness.
Man, after all, is still an unsatisfied creature, no matter who it is.
More than ten years ago, when she was in Yunnan Mansion, Princess Wu didn't have so many ideas at all, all she wanted was to let her son live his life happily and happily, what the position of the prince and grandson, or even the throne, was not as important as her son in her heart.
But as the situation changes, Princess Wu, as a mother, also hopes that her son can get better and better.
After all, although it is not necessarily, on the surface, only by going to the top can you not be bullied.
If the situation is unacceptable, it is naturally best to hope that her son will live happily for the rest of his life, but if it is possible, Princess Wu still hopes that her son will never be bullied, and he will not have to be quiet.
Now, Zhu Zhanji has given such an opportunity.
In this battle, no matter what the result was, the cause and effect had already been buried when Zhu Zhanji promised the Wara envoy to personally lead the troops to charge and kill Mahamu, and the result of this rush to determine the victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition.
Zhu Zhanji has been fighting abroad for 18 years, has made countless achievements, conquered countless countries, and still cannot satisfy the people of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji's move will only make the people of the Ming Dynasty even more dissatisfied.
It took Zhu Zhanji 18 years to establish a tough Ming image of undefeated foreign wars in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, but now, Zhu Zhanji wants to use such a hasty method to decide the outcome of a war that is related to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of Ming people.
As you can imagine, even if you win in the end, there will still be no shortage of gossip.
And if he loses, a basin of dirty water will be unceremoniously splashed on Zhu Zhanji's body, and at that time, although the people of the Ming Dynasty who are extremely angry will not dare to make any moves, they may give Zhu Zhanji a hat of shame for the Ming Dynasty.
After all, from the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao to the present, except for Jianwen, who was unsuccessful in foreign wars, no emperor has really made such a big mistake.
If he loses, he Zhu Zhanji is really the first in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods.
Don't look at Zhu Zhanyan's reputation in the hearts of the people of Daming over the years, but that's because there is no comparison.
Think about it, what has Zhu Zhanyan been doing all these years? What is the imperial court doing?
In fact, since the eighth year of Yongle accompanied Emperor Taizong from the grassland expedition, Zhu Zhanqi's footsteps have never stopped, especially after becoming a vassal domain, either fighting or on the way to war.
And what about the imperial court?
Since King Wu became a vassal in his vein, the imperial court basically has not fought again, except for the aid of soldiers sent to help when Zhu Zhan was conquering the Wa Kingdom in the east, the imperial court can only say that it fought a battle, that is, the battle of the Jurchen rebellion in Pingjianzhou.
And that battle, although it was only a counterinsurgency, although the enemy was just the Jianzhou Wei in a corner of the Ming Dynasty, but it was fought for five years!
At that time, it was actually okay, Zhu Zhan Yan used his uninterrupted expedition to make the Ming Dynasty gradually stabilize, and the people at that time still thought Zhu Zhan Yan was good, but then it was different.
If at this time, when this Zhu Zhanyan can be said to be pointed out by Qianfu, there is a completely opposite contrast, and the person who makes this comparison is still the current emperor.
That's different.
At that time, the dissatisfaction with Zhu Zhanji, the emperor, coupled with the fact that King Wu withdrew from Shuntianfu when the emperor went on an expedition, and even Zhu Zhanji's foreign campaigns over the years would be said by the people to be excluded by the imperial court.
When that time comes, don't think about reasoning, because at that time it will not be the time to reason, even if you have a great reason, it will not make sense.
This is the only way to break the situation that Zhu Zhanji said, and it is also why he said that Zhu Zhanji is paving the way for Zhu Zhanji.
However, not to mention that a breakthrough is in sight, even if the situation is broken, it does not mean that it is a success.
Any situation needs to be maintained, which is why Zhu Gaoxu is talking about this with his wife today.
"Anyway, what should be explained still has to be explained, if Zhan Yan really has a chance, then Shanshu will most likely be the one in the world of mothers in the future."
Although her husband said that she was not in a hurry, Princess Wu did not relax because of this.
"When the time comes, any slight flaw will be infinitely magnified and become a talking point for people."
"What's more, with the situation of Zhan Yan and the current situation of Seon-sook, it is not easy to change it in the future."
Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.
In fact, before his wife said this, Zhu Gaochu was not in a hurry, but with his wife's words, Zhu Gaoxu was a little anxious.
There is no other reason, the whole King of Wu is looking forward to it day and night, and the one that is looking forward to the current one can already be said to be the one that sees the light of day.
Hu Shanshu is pregnant.
In fact, it wasn't that Zhu Gaoxu was inconsiderate, he just simply forgot.
Before that, don't look at the entire Wu Wang lineage is in a good situation, and even control the Shuntian Mansion and the imperial court, but in the eyes of many people, especially the people in the Wu Wang lineage, they feel that the situation is not very impressive.
There is only one reason: King Wu has no queen.
This queen is not simply talking about Zhu Zhanyu himself, but all of Zhu Gaoxu's sons have no heirs until now.
Zhu Zhanyan didn't talk about it, there were only a few days at home, so that he had entered the threshold of his establishment this year, but he still had no heirs.
In addition to Zhu Zhantan, Zhu Zhantan is not in good health, to put it mildly, the incident in bed is a manual work, and Zhu Zhantan is a sick man who will snort and wheezing even if he runs a few steps.
It's not easy to live, and having a child is tantamount to asking for his life for Zhu Zhantan, and it may not be successful.
Below Zhu Zhantan is Zhu Zhan, although he is the only hope, but in fact he is the most hopeless one.
Because Zhu Zhantan hasn't even made a home so far.
The only hope in the entire Wu Wang's lineage is Zhu Zhanqi, and the matter between him and Mu Sheng's daughter Mu Qin is already a certainty, and there is only one ceremony left.
However, his relationship with Mu Qin was confirmed just in time for the death of Emperor Taizong, and less than a year later, Emperor Hongxi also died, and later the Mu family moved to the Suez area.
Zhu Zhanqi is the person entrusted by Zhu Zhanqi with important tasks, and now he is not only managing Xiangzhou Mansion, but even Nanzhou Mansion.
It is obviously impossible to leave Xiangzhou Mansion in order to start a family.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanqi's matter has also been delayed, and Zhu Zhanqi is actually the only one in King Wu's lineage who is "free to love", which causes Zhu Zhanqi to attach great importance to Muqin.
attaches great importance to Mu Qin, coupled with respect for his eldest brother, Zhu Zhanqi has no heirs so far.
In this case, the news of Hu Shanshu's pregnancy is not only good news for the entire Wu Wang Yi line, but also represents the future of Wu Wang Yi line.
Although it is still uncertain whether Hu Shanshu is pregnant with a man or a woman in her womb, this is already the only hope for King Wu's lineage, and the entire Wu Wang's lineage is very important.
has paid attention to it until now, except for a few people, no one knows the news of Hu Shanshu's pregnancy.
The reason is simple, the tree is very popular.
If people know that Zhu Zhanyan is about to have an heir, then Hu Shanshu will have to face more than just these inconsequential things now.
When the time comes, all she will have to face is a matter of life, and it is also a matter of two lives.
