Chapter 383: My Heart Lights the Moon
Zhu Song took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued.
"You calculate the land circulation, coupled with the children of the royal family, little by little the accumulation of hard work and illness, the Ming Dynasty's current young and strong body will be completely collapsed! If the Ming Dynasty is really incompetent, the people can't survive, and the people rebel, then it doesn't matter, how can there be an eternal dynasty? β
"But if the court has no money, it can't resist the invasion of foreign tribes, and the people are forced to rebel alive, then it's too aggrieved! The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty turned out to be a bitter man, and the people couldn't get by, so he rebelled! Could it be that the withdrawal of my Ming Dynasty can only choose such a very ironic ending in the end? β
Zhu Song's heartfelt words can be regarded as stupid and stupid for the prince.
He had never thought about these problems before, it was okay for the land to circulate, an emperor gave birth to so many sons, the eldest son wanted to be the emperor, and the other sons could not be too bad, and they had to be princes. Later, the more emperors there were, the more princes there were, and then there were royal children everywhere, and these royal children would have to rely on the state to support them.
If the children of the royal family are all wise and martial, then that's all, but the nine sons of Longsheng are still different, not to mention the father's generation, more than 20 uncles, are also uneven.
There are losers, those who don't live well, and take the favor of the court for granted, so what are you doing with this kind of thing? Do you block yourself for no reason? That's too cheap.
Just because the children of the royal family have to be supported all the time because of their surname Zhu, then this is too embarrassing.
Zhu Gaochi understood why Zhu Song had always been cautious, some things were not that he didn't want to do, but that he couldn't do them, or that he couldn't do them because he didn't have enough strength in his hands.
Whether it is a doctor or a relative of the emperor, this is a force to be reckoned with in the country, if you want to reform now and overturn all these rules, then the court will usher in a very big change, and it will be a storm in an instant, and even the country will collapse.
Zhu Song watched the prince keep digesting what he had just said, and he had almost digested it, his eyes gradually brightened, and Zhu Song continued.
"I didn't tell your father these words, what your father has to do this is to prove to the world and your grandfather that he is the most suitable prince to be the emperor, and he will never move these things related to the future of the country."
"If there is a breakthrough in the treasure fleet, it can be regarded as a good start, and the country will be able to carry out reforms in the future, after all, there is already a precedent."
"So I've calculated it, if your father's dynasty passes, to your dynasty, or your son's dynasty, we have to start thinking of ways to carry out reforms, the country can't keep making mistakes, and now the problem is still small, just like a life is sick, when the problem is small, it is easy to treat, if you have to delay, it will be a big illness in the end, and it will be difficult to treat."
The prince didn't know until today that the twentieth uncle was not a prince who only thought about making money and greedy for money, but what the twentieth uncle was thinking about was the real good things for the country and the people.
And these people still feel every day how hard they work in the DPRK, how important they are to the country, and how noble they are to the people.
Compared with Han Wang, this is simply too naΓ―ve, this is simply a cognitive contrast between a champion who reads poetry and books and a three-year-old child.
Zhu Song saw that the boss was still digesting, he picked up an apple and broke it in half and handed it over.
"Uncle Twenty told you so much today, and Uncle Twenty also gave you a solid foundation, and Uncle Twenty supported you to be the prince. The second and third, the two of them are talking nonsense, the second child is not suitable to be the emperor at all! β
"Or that he is not suitable to be the emperor when you are your brother, or that he is not suitable to be the emperor at this time, your grandfather's founding emperor looks down on the world and swallows mountains and rivers, your father is ambitious and talented, and the shortcomings of you and the two of them have become the biggest advantage, you can let the world recuperate, and your father will be very tired after the Ming Dynasty."
"The second child is simply carved out of the same mold as your father, and if he becomes the emperor, he will definitely try all kinds of ways to surpass your father, the Ming Dynasty can't withstand the toss of three generations of male lords, so I can see your advantages and disadvantages, the people of the world can see it, the court officials can see it, and your father can also see it."
"As long as you don't make too many mistakes, your throne will be secure! Uncle told you from the bottom of my heart today, what I want to do can't be done by my own strength, I need your strength, your father is now in the prime of life, and there are still decades of good work, we have to prepare all the preparations in these decades, and in the future, my uncle will ensure that you will be on the throne in a down-to-earth manner! β
The prince was quite moved when he heard this, stood up, and knelt down towards Zhu Song.
"It doesn't matter if my uncle is the emperor or not, if my nephew and uncle can lay a good foundation for the future of the Ming Dynasty together, even if I don't become the emperor, what can I do! Compared to his uncle's ambitions, this little bit of his nephew's mind is simply insignificant, and his nephew has been taught today! β
Zhu Song helped the boss up: "You have to be the emperor, you are the emperor because you are the most suitable, and if you are not the emperor, won't we say these words in vain today?" β
The prince was moved by Zhu Song.
"Twenty uncle, my nephew understands, for the future of the Ming Dynasty and for the people of the world, my nephew will work hard!"
"Then will Uncle Twenty be my ally in the future?"
Zhu Song nodded: "Of course, I will do my best to assist you in the future, and as for the second child, I will also try my best to regulate the relationship between the two of you, although I may not be able to do it, but I don't let your brothers see the knife as much as possible." β
Zhu Song's words gave the prince a great shock, so that he didn't know whether to talk about the first assistant next, the twentieth uncle had already made it clear that he would assist him in the future. It's really not a good time to talk about the first assistant of the cabinet.
At this moment, Zhu Song's words changed.
"As for the head of the cabinet, it's not that I don't want to quit, it's really your father's side who treats me to death, what does your father mean by arranging me there? I think you also know that you have to understand him, from the rebellion of the prince to today, it is not easy to sit on the throne, he is suspicious of you, he is suspicious of me, and he is suspicious of the second and third children. β
"My heart is bright, let's have a clear conscience, as for him to let the courtiers form gangs in the court, there is no way, you try to understand!"
