"Dingkou, Dingkou......" Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang showed a contemplative look on his face, Daming was thriving, and it seemed that everything was getting better...... But Liu Bowen's testament is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the Ming Dynasty, which is now too optimistic.

Hu Lu has been plundering for a hundred years, and the scars caused to the land of China are too deep. So deep that even if it has taken twenty years, it still can't erase the embers left behind by those barbaric lands that should be rich. Even though Lao Zhu is now the founder of the country, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty has radiated to all countries and can seize the wealth of the world for his own use, there are some things that can only be smoothed out with time.

In fact, there are some things that Zhu Biao did not mention, but Lao Zhu knew it. The reason why the Ming Dynasty is able to suppress all kinds of contradictions in the country and expand so unscrupulously is, in the final analysis, because he, the founding emperor, is now in charge of the country himself. He, the founding emperor, has no prestige, and he can let go of his words in the imperial court, even if there are one or two thorns, he will be removed at will, and nothing will be hindered.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty was not founded for a long time, and the nobles and nobles were all loyal people, and among the guards, they were all elite soldiers and strong generals, fighting to expel the remnants of the Tartars. But now Berwyn has gone, Tiande (Xu Da), Dingchen (Tang He) and other generals are old, and the heroes of the first generation of the Ming Dynasty have begun to wither. If there are no veterans in charge, will the future development be so smooth?

His temples have appeared hoarfrost, if he has a case, the standard ...... Can Biao'er really suppress the charm and support this family business?

Lao Zhu's brows furrowed even deeper, in the first half of his life, he had dealt with the Northern Yuan court for half his life, and he had a deep understanding of the history of the rise and decline of Mengyuan...... And what about those who are as heroic as Genghis Khan? Under his leadership, Meng Yuan's aggressive momentum was so fierce that he vowed to take all the territory under the blue sky. But when the hero fell in front of the horse, what about the invincible Mongol Empire?

It's not that it fell apart immediately, and civil strife continued. In the final analysis, isn't it because Genghis Khan, the founding hero, devoted his life to expansion, leaving no time to stabilize the country, so that he left a lot of hidden dangers?

Even if Biao'er can be called a god and a wise man, the king of the world always does not act as without taboos as the founding emperor who formulated the system. More or less, there will be some constraints. The so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the Ming Dynasty is indeed the time to cook these gathered "ingredients" well.

"Draw up the will, pass on our will, Liu Ji has worked hard and made great achievements, and he deserves honor. Give Liu Ji as the master, enjoy the high temple, nicknamed 'Wencheng', respect him as 'Chengguo Gong', in order to chase his glory. "Old Zhu Dao.

"In addition, send this posthumous book to the six ministries and the cabinet, and teach our ministers to read it...... At the next court meeting, we will have a good discussion with the ministers. ”

The Zhongshu Sheren, who was in charge of drafting the decree for the emperor, galloped out with the holy decree in his hand and went to the Liu Mansion and the six cabinets to announce the decree. Since the appointment of Zhu Biao as regent, Lao Zhu has not personally issued a will for a long time, and now these two wills have been issued at the same time, and those court officials with a keen sense of political smell will naturally know the emperor's preference for national policy.

The emperor has decreed that the title will be granted, and naturally more people will support the proposition in Liu Bowen's posthumous performance.

"Father is wise." Zhu Biao let out a long sigh of relief, and then bowed his hand. In the past few years, Zhu Biao has worked hard to support the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao has already felt the difficulty of governing the country.

Although Lao Zhu's existence is extremely important, it is precisely because of his ballast stone suppressed on the top that Daming, a big ship that is riding the wind and waves, has not capsized. With Zhu Su, a prophetic traveler, he helped Daming seize many opportunities that could be seized and brought Daming to a better situation. But Zhu Biao's contribution to the Ming Dynasty over the years is also great.

If it weren't for Zhu Biao and a group of officials, who worked diligently and sleepily in the DPRK, the Ming dynasty might not have been able to support this political, economic, military, and diplomatic attack from all sides. You must know that many of the current systems of the Ming Dynasty are unprecedented in their ancestors, and they cannot be called crossing the river by feeling the stones, but simply rushing in the turbulent shoals of the undercurrent.

If there was no Zhu Biao to support the bottom, I am afraid that the ship would have capsized long ago.

However, because of this, Zhu Biao has deeply realized that it is not easy to govern the country. Now his father is still in charge, and the court prohibits it, and there are no taboos. But if the father has a case, he is really in charge of the country......

If he comes to change the national policy, will the officials and the people agree?

Zhu Biao was not sure that he could steer this huge ship.

Fortunately, after Liu Shi's vigilance, his father also realized that what the Ming Dynasty needs most now is to recuperate...... Although there will be many dangers and obstacles, with the authority of the father, there will be no major troubles in the meantime.

In addition to Zhu Biao and Zhu Su in the palace, there is also Zhu Di, who has always stayed in the palace and is trying to be a transparent person. Since he entered the city, he has not left the palace, and has been playing against Lao Zhu, informing him of the customs and customs of the countries of the Western Regions. It wasn't until Zhu Su brought Liu Bowen's last recital that he was able to take a break.

Regarding government affairs, Zhu Di will never express his opinion, because the "Battle of Jingjing" is known to Lao Zhu, but in front of Lao Zhu, Zhu Di is cautious as much as he can, never interferes in government affairs, and is extremely respectful to Zhu Biao. Even though Lao Zhu is actually not too jealous of him.

However, at this time, hearing that several people had agreed that Daming had the intention of resting and recuperating, Zhu Di couldn't help it. He got up and interjected, "So...... Dad, what should I do about the Western Expedition? ”

“…… Also, didn't I take down Annan yet? This...... Is it really time to take a break? ”

Zhu Di, whose long-cherished wish is to go west to Europe, is in the prime of life at this time, so he is naturally not willing to turn from offensive to defensive when the Ming Dynasty has just knocked on the door of Europe, and temporarily stop fighting.

Either how to say that Lao Zhu is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne, he may not be able to suppress Zhu Di and the large group of main battle factions in the DPRK and China who are eager to seal the territory overseas. But Lao Zhu was different, he just glanced at Zhu Di slightly, and the high-spirited His Royal Highness King Yan felt a chill blowing in the back of his head, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"The Western Expedition, the soldiers of your Western Expedition are not relying on those tribes on the grassland?"

"How did we teach you? Steady and steady, don't be greedy for merit...... Although they are a criminal army, they have also made great contributions to you, which is enough to atone for your sins. If there is no benefit in the future, you will be the leader of those people who are still willing to die for you? ”

"If they rebel directly in the Western Regions, our Ming Dynasty's control in the Western Regions will not yet be secured...... Didn't the territory you worked so hard to build make wedding clothes for the Mongols? ”
