Chapter 364: Three Kinds of People
After Yao Guangxiao finished reading a scripture, he put down the wooden fish in his hand, turned around with a smile and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yao Guangxiao raised the teacup and drank it all, Zhu Di kept looking at Yao Guangxiao, and said a little anxiously: "You, can you talk to me first, you are so thirsty?" ”
Yao Guangxiao drank a cup of tea, looked at Zhu Di and smiled.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't want to listen to your words."
After hearing this, Zhu Di sat up straight: "Do you also think what I did was wrong?" ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and it is not right or wrong to do this, but there is a good saying, for the monarch does not compete with the courtiers, Your Majesty wants to prove himself to Emperor Taizu Gao and the subjects of the world, how can His Royal Highness King Han not?" ”
"Your Majesty keeps saying that you are not afraid of historians, and you are not afraid of how future generations will look at them, but what Your Majesty does and says is to prove that you are right, but no matter how holy your Majesty is, in the future, when historians record the rights and wrongs of Your Majesty in the history books, they will not wronged Your Majesty, nor will they erase Your Majesty's merits because of Your Majesty's background."
"Don't tell me these big truths!" Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Who wouldn't make a big sense, the old twenty said that he found the clues of Jianwen, I am very happy, I gave him the Jinyi Guard, and I also gave him the credit for tracking down the orphans of Jingnan, is this not enough?" If you have to force me to be unable to get off the stage, if you have to force me to be unable to raise my head, he will be satisfied, what is he going to do? Want to prove to the world that he is more fit than me to be an emperor? ”
Yao Guangxiao is still smiling, he is now more and more Buddha statues, even if he has triangular eyes, but when he laughs, his eyes are also narrowed into a slit, but it looks like the pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha sitting in the Buddha hall.
"Your Majesty, tracing the orphans in the territory and finding Jianwen is a credit in the eyes of Your Majesty, and it is a great merit, but in the eyes of the people of the world, in the eyes of the hundred officials of the imperial court, and even His Royal Highness King Han, in his own eyes, this is not a merit."
"We Han people pay the most attention to orthodoxy, why did Emperor Taizu Gao force the public to respect the orthodoxy of the previous dynasty? One is to take over the territory of the previous dynasty as a matter of course, and the other is also for the sake of orthodoxy. ”
"Respect the former dynasty as orthodox, my Ming Dynasty, as the successor of the previous dynasty, is naturally orthodox, but His Majesty's background is not, the history books will definitely record the Jing difficulty, and the history books will definitely record how His Majesty ascended the throne and sat on the emperor."
"And tracking down the orphans of Jingnan and tracing the whereabouts of Jianwen, to put it bluntly, is not a credit, but a kind of cover-up and compensation for mistakes, which in the eyes of outsiders is a thief's heart, of course, it is not a credit."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, stood up, came to the door, and looked at the mountain scenery in the distance.
"Do I have to keep being wrong, am I going to bear the infamy of usurping the throne? If he feeds the whole world, he will be exempt from infamy, and then all the faults will be borne by me alone! ”
"Of course, all the faults must be borne by the emperor, because you are the emperor, not the king of Han!"
Yao Guangxiao didn't save face for Zhu Di at all, he would say whatever he wanted, Zhu Di turned his head and looked at the old monk when he heard this, and saw that the old monk was still smiling and groaning, and his heart was just a little angry and disappeared.
Yes, I am the emperor, the old twenty is not, everyone rebelled together, they used to be princes, and they got the throne and became the lord of the world, what did the old twenty get? is still a prince, it is nothing more than a brocade guard, and more silver, which seems to be really worthless for him to be so so.
It's not right, if he doesn't have himself, can he keep his life in Jianwen's hands? Let's put it another way, he was the first to cut the feudal domain back then.
But then again, without the twentieth child, his wife and children can't come back.
Yao Guangxiao also slowly stood up and came to Zhu Di's side, also looked at the distant mountain scenery, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty is guarding His Royal Highness King Han, just because His Royal Highness King Han is also a usurper of the country, you are afraid that one day he will be in trouble again like back then, Your Majesty is worried about this, isn't it?"
Zhu Di sighed: "Why don't you worry, when I am alive, I am confident that I can sit firmly on the throne, but if I die one day, who are his opponents of my three sons?" ”
"It is said that King Yan is good at martial arts, King Han is good at strategizing, the battle of Jingyan, the most critical battles are all his strategies, blitzkrieg Yangzhou, blitzkrieg Yingtian, his use of soldiers is really breathtaking, bold and careful, just go, never procrastinate, the people's hearts are measured so accurately, he expected that those defenders would not dare to stop us, he expected that everyone in Yingtian would not expect the two of us to suddenly appear!"
"In politics, he knows how to balance the left and right, knows how to regress, knows how to use the power in his hands reasonably, knows when to make enemies, and when to make friends with others!"
"And he is also a descendant of the Zhu family, the bloodline of Emperor Taizu Gao, this throne is made by this concubine, can't he sit still? At the beginning, I used him, because the DPRK and China were really in urgent need of talents, and some things could not be done by me, so they could only be handed over to him to do, and he did a good job, last year, the treasury was tight, and seeing that the famine in the northwest was about to cause a civil uprising, if he hadn't gone down to the south of the Yangtze River and forced out a salt tax of more than 10 million taels, I am afraid that it is difficult to say what the scene is now. ”
"He did his best to appease the people in the northwest disaster relief, most of the disaster relief money has really fallen into the mouths of the people, and in the long run, he knows that only to give the people enough to eat, just a temporary stability, in the long run, we must buy good seeds for the people, with seeds, those displaced people will return to their hometowns to continue farming, so that the population of the prefectures, provinces, and counties will be re-stabilized quietly."
"I am relieved to use this pile one by one, but I am also worried, if there is really such a day, I am afraid that my eyes will not be able to close!"
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a long time after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, do you know why Lao Qu met His Majesty back then? Did Your Majesty really think it had been a coincidence? No, Lao Ge is a minister in troubled times, this Lao Ge knows very well, if Lao Ge wants to make some achievements and do something in this life, he must find a prince like His Majesty, who has ambition to be the emperor and has the confidence to be a good emperor! ”
"If you talk about the level of ability, other princes may not be lower than Your Majesty's ability, but you can't just talk about the level of everything, you have to pay attention to a definite ability, what kind of ability is the level?"
"Some people are suitable for reading and managing internal affairs, such as the crown prince, some people are good at arching horses and leading troops to fight, such as the King of Han, and some people can not only manage internal affairs, but also lead troops to fight, and accurately guess people's hearts, these three kinds of people, only the first kind is the most suitable monarch after Your Majesty!"
