Chapter Twenty-Six: Zhu Gaochi's Mission

"What's wrong with Your Majesty? Why some frustration. ”

Nanjing Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace.

Queen Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di, who was frowning, and asked while gently rubbing his eyebrows with her hand.

Xu Miaoyun is the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the king of Wuning, Zhongshan, Xu Miaoyun is gifted and intelligent, she has a demure temperament when she was young, likes to read, and has the reputation of "female students", and it is rumored that she has won the true legend of General Xu Da's art of war.

Xu Miaoyun was entered the palace when she was a girl, and was selected on the side of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and was personally canonized as the princess of Yan by Zhu Yuanzhang in the ninth year of Hongwu.

Such a capable and martial queen is the most important candidate for Zhu Di to pour out his heart and ask for help.

Kunning Palace, as the queen's bedroom, is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep, and has become very quiet after Xu Miaoyunping retired from the palace eunuchs.

"Miaoyun."

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and then said: "I got the guidance of a master today, and I know that the Ming Dynasty will die in the future, but I can't do anything, I am not depressed...... Rather, unwillingly! ”

"The concubine still thinks that something has happened to Your Majesty."

Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned, but instead stretched her eyebrows.

Zhu Di, who was pillowed on her lap, opened her eyes when she heard this, Xu Miaoyun covered it with one hand, and continued.

"Since there is no longevity and boundless life in the world, Your Majesty should know that there is no country that lasts for thousands of years, since the Great Qin unified the world, the short Great Qin and Sui Great Yuan are only a few decades, and the long one is less than three hundred years like the Tang Dynasty...... In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it was also a situation where the feudal towns were divided, as if the poisoned dying person relied on cutting off his limbs to prevent the spread of poison, and he just hung for nothing. ”

"If the concubines see, our Ming Dynasty doesn't need to be so greedy, and if it can be passed on roughly and smoothly for more than two hundred years, it will already be the favor of God, why should Your Majesty worry about what will happen in a hundred years? You must know that Emperor Taizu Gao was so heartbroken for the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't expect that Zhu Yunwen's child would cut the feudal domain when he came up, forcing His Majesty to have to raise troops to make it difficult, right? ”

Zhu Di turned over slightly, faced himself to Xu Miaoyun, and asked, "Miaoyun, you mean, even if it's a father, he can't expect what will happen after his death, so I don't have to worry, right?" ”

"Do what is in front of you, cherish the people in front of you, spend more time with your sons, don't force your sons to the enemy, prevent your sons from being like thieves, which of them didn't come out of my belly? Isn't it your blood and bones? ”

Zhu Di sighed and said, "But I, I'm still unwilling!" ”

"Donkey temper."

Xu Miaoyun tapped Zhu Di's head with his finger, and no longer persuaded anything, but said.

"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, then you will find which master, and then ask how the Ming Dynasty died in the country, how to avoid the Ming Dynasty, and if there is any solution."

Zhu Di replied helplessly: "The master refuses to say it for the time being, he will wait for next time." ”

"If you don't decide to find an old monk." Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Everyone has their own strengths, Your Majesty is good at generals, strategy, and decision-making, and slightly shorter than governing government, planning the country, and thinking, why don't you go to Master Daoyan and ask?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head again and again, the old monk was crazy, and he actually had murderous intentions towards him.

Of course, Zhu Di knew that it was just at a specific moment that Dao Yan woke up to the so-called "dragon slaying technique" to slaughter the dragon of the feudal monarchy, of course, not for Zhu Di personally.

But Zhu Di still thinks that it is better to let Dao Yan calm down for a few days for the time being.

"Since Master Dao Yan is also helpless for the time being, Your Majesty can also ask those smart ministers, and maybe you can get the answer."

Zhu Di nodded, and simply raised his voice directly.

"Ma He, go and summon the eldest prince to me, and come directly to Kunning Palace."

Ma He, who was waiting far away, did not delay when he got the message, and took people to announce the edict to summon the eldest prince.

Not long after, the round prince Zhu Gaochi entered the palace to meet him.

"The son has seen his father and the queen." Zhu Gaochi respectfully saluted Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." ”

"Thank you for your grace."

After Zhu Gaochi stood up straight, he looked up at his father who was sitting on the chair, only to see that his face was still resolute, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little tired.

Some time ago, Zhu Di often summoned him to discuss with the ministers, and Zhu Gaochi would go to the Qianqing Palace every day to greet him, and Zhu Gaochi clearly remembered that his father's previous state was not like this.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly remembered a name - Jiang Xinghuo.

"Which Jiang Xinghuo said something to his father?" Zhu Gaochi thought secretly in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi became more and more curious about this mysterious figure hiding in the Imperial Prison.

Zhu Di was not verbose, and after hiding the causal characters, he simply told Zhu Gaochi about the periodic law of the dynasty.

"Chi'er, what do you think is the solution?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gaochi replied cautiously: "Back to my father, according to the historical books that his sons have studied, this new inference is not the slightest deviation, and the contradiction between population and land is indeed the core contradiction of the dynasty. And if it is said that the reform is extremely difficult, it is also true, as he said, whether he wants to admit it or not, the emperor himself is the biggest landlord. ”

"But Erchen thinks that now that His Majesty has peeked into this secret, it is possible to formulate policies to prevent land annexation as soon as possible, not to mention that the new policy formulated by His Majesty to suppress land annexation within two or three generations will definitely be implemented in place, and the Ming Dynasty may also be able to extend a large period of national fortune."

Zhu Di's fingers tapped lightly on the chair.

"I have won the world with my own hands, just like your grandfather...... What about your grandfather, don't be afraid of those gentry and landlord-born civil officials, don't say it's a ten, it's a hundred, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand, your grandfather won't blink an eye when he kills it, and so will I. ”

"But your grandfather killed so many officials, and he was only shocked for a while, but not for a lifetime."

"I killed Fang Xiaoru and those Jianwen Wenchen just to deter for a while, so I don't plan to kill an official from time to time like your grandfather."

"But the knife in my hand will always hang over the heads of these gentry and landlords, and they are afraid!"

Zhu Di leaned forward on the chair, and looked at Zhu Gaochi with majestic eyes.

"But what about you? Those Wenchen around you are all big landlords with countless families. ”

"It's true that the emperor is the biggest landlord, and I can cut my own flesh for the future of the Ming Dynasty, but these big landlords below can behave so high that they limit themselves and cut their own flesh?"

Zhu Gaochi raised his head, and his voice was very firm.

"Father, the son is the prince of the Ming Dynasty! Not the prince of Wenchen! Give your son a little time, and there will definitely be a solution! ”

Zhu Di was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand heroically and said.

"I give you time, since you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, then think about how the Ming Dynasty should get out of this dynasty cycle law, and go, go!"

After a while, looking at Zhu Gaochi's departing back, Zhu Di suddenly held Queen Xu's hand and said.

"Chi'er was pushed into this dilemma by me myself......"
