The Zhu brothers had never seen their father so lonely and helpless, and they wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know what to say.

Lin Che's lecture also deeply shocked them.

Before, they never thought that the official gentry still had such great energy, but they only knew that the nobles led by the Huaixi people in the court were the biggest force.

and can influence the emperor's decision-making.

The father is also cultivating a clique of civil officials to confront it.

I didn't expect the civilian-official group deliberately cultivated by my father to be so insidious.

When the wings are stiff and the emperor suppresses the Huaixi group, these people will be the dominant family.

So he gradually confronted the emperor, seeing that he couldn't resist the emperor, he pointed the finger at the people who had no foundation, and even when the court was in danger, he was able to abandon the court, take refuge in the new master, and serve the new emperor, just to keep his wealth and wealth.

Is this kind of behavior without a moral bottom line still a reader who has worked hard for several years?

This kind of behavior is 100 times and 1,000 times worse than the arrogant and domineering Huaixi Group, and it is simply heinous.

Retracting his thoughts, Zhu Biao put down the brush in his hand and asked the key to the problem:

"Mr. Lin!"

"Since these officials and gentry are so harmful, dare to ask the imperial court how to solve it?"

"Please sir help us plan our thoughts!"

Let's talk about it.

Prince Zhu Biao got up and bowed respectfully to Lin Che.

Zhu Fan next to him also followed the example of the prince and hurriedly saluted:

"Please sir for guidance!"

Seeing the two sons express the doubts in their hearts, Zhu Yuanzhang felt comforted, and he said to Lin Che:

"Please speak up, sir!"

"It's all our wrong things, and we can only blame ourselves!"

"Just say it!"

Lin Che was also helpless when he saw this, you sang the three of them, I appeared on the stage, admitting my mistakes, asking for advice, and cooperating tacitly.

He waved his hand, motioned for the three of them to sit down, and said:

"That's it!"

"Originally, I was going to leave this content for the next class!"

"For the sake of... For the sake of the queen mother making such a beautiful meal, let's talk to you casually! ”

"Let's go beyond that."

"What do you think?"

As soon as the words fell.

"Okay!"

The father and son said in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to signal his two sons not to say anything, he cleared his throat:

"Sir, you can talk as much as you like!"

"Second child, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you pour wine for Mr. soon!"

"You let Mr. talk like this!"

Zhu Fan reacted immediately when he heard this, and hurriedly walked around to Lin Che's side.

With a smile on his face, he poured wine and picked up vegetables, and he was very busy.

Lin Che was also accustomed to Zhu Zhang's enthusiasm in the Imperial Prison, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, so he let him be busy, and spoke directly:

"Today, I will talk about the first lecture of "On the Fortune of the Country": the experience and lessons of history!"

Hearing Lin Che speak, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright, looked at Lin Che, and his ears were pricked up, for fear of missing a word.

Zhu Biao picked up the brush again and listened calmly.

"Let's talk about a piece of history that is closer to us."

Lin Che took a sip of wine:

"Let's talk about Da Song!"

"When the Great Song Dynasty first established the dynasty, the southern expedition and the northern expedition were also quite strong, and in a few years they destroyed all the countries in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the scenery was immeasurable for a while, but later it was said that the decline was decay, and the life span of the dynasty was only more than 100 years."

"How can a prosperous dynasty be so fragile?"

Facing Lin Che's question, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while.

As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he also had some research on the history of the previous dynasty.

In particular, the last Han dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, was his main research object.

Before not, he not only studied the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty with Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others, but also read the history of the Song Dynasty and carefully figured it out.

I think I'm quite accomplished.

"One is the emperor's problem!"

"The second is a matter of policy!"

"In the late Song Dynasty, because of these two aspects, it was rotten from the inside out, and the decline of the dynasty was inevitable."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident answer, Lin Che shook his head slightly:

"You're just talking about one of them, but not the core!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, his research on the Song Dynasty was not insignificant.

After all, the lessons of the past are there, and he has to pay attention to them.

Just as he was about to ask, Lin Che took the initiative to speak:

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and your perspective and vision of things should be different from ordinary people."

"If you think about it carefully, you will find that the Great Song Dynasty did one thing wrong at the beginning, that is, it made a big mistake in the 'layout' at the beginning of the Dynasty."

"The capital has always been the largest and most prosperous city of the dynasty, with a large population, many garrisons, and many businessmen, so the consumption of materials is bound to be the most, and the capital of the Song Dynasty is in Kaifeng, at the confluence of the Yellow River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."

"Setting up the capital in this location is indeed very convenient for receiving materials from all over the country."

"However, with the rise of the grassland peoples and the prosperity of the Khitan Liao State, Kaifeng's status as the capital is in jeopardy."

"There is a tradition in the establishment of the capital city in all dynasties, by the mountains and rivers, the pass is blocked, but Kaifeng City is the Central Plains land of a horse and a flat river, there is no Xiongguan dangerous pass around, there is no big river to block, it is easy to be ravaged by the war horses of the northern nomads."

"Considering the security of the country, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, once wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, which is close to Guanzhong, where there is both the dangerous Tiger Prison Pass as a protection, and the Grand Canal to facilitate the transportation of materials, which can be described as the best place to build the capital."

"However, when the imperial court discussed this issue, there was a dispute, and almost all the ministers were reluctant to move the capital, because all the family property of these ministers was in Kaifeng, and if they moved to Luoyang, their property would not be guaranteed."

"Of course, these ministers are shrewd, of course these words can't be said in the open, they have to be changed to a righteous and bright statement, so these ministers are discussing in private, under the guise of serving the country and the people..."

"It is said that Luoyang City was very damaged in the past war, and if the capital is moved to Luoyang, it will inevitably be built and urbanized, which will inevitably cost the people and hurt the people."

"So, these ministers suggested to Zhao Kuangyin that it was better to stay in Kaifeng, strengthen the city in Kaifeng, expand the defenders of the capital in Kaifeng, and use the advantage of troops to make up for the lack of geographical location..."

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and he slammed it on the table:

"These ministers who have brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"To come up with such a bad idea for a little selfish gain is simply digging your own grave."

"For the sake of their own selfish interests, these people don't care about the overall situation of the country, and they don't want to think that if the country is gone, do their selfish interests still exist?"

"Think about those murderous steppe barbarians, will they cheapen these people?"

"These people should be killed!"

"In my opinion, all of them were killed, and not a single one was left!"
