"The art of vertical and horizontal, that's a forbidden art."

"If you're not careful, you'll get out of the way."

"Do you understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for his wife's questioning, and his eyes when he looked at the other party were even more confused, and he couldn't figure out the situation stupidly.

"Girl, you wait first."

"Why do we get more confused the more we listen?"

"What Mr. Lin said about the vertical and horizontal arts, is there a connection with what you said?"

"Really?"

"Why don't we feel anything at all?"

"Isn't this a bit too much, it's really not that exaggerated!"

Hear that.

Queen Ma shook her head helplessly, but she couldn't bear to embarrass the other party anymore, and said bluntly: "Exaggerated? ”

"Hehe, it's not an exaggeration at all."

"I'll keep it at that."

"The so-called Lianheng is to rely on the strong country to attack the weak country, and the so-called joint vertical is to unite the weak country against the strong country."

"But once it is connected, it is necessary to offer the land and present the seal of the monarch to gain the trust of the powerful country at one time."

"But then the country's borders will shrink, and the prestige of the monarch will continue to decrease, and before he has time to reap the benefits, he will already enter into chaos."

Looking sideways at the stunned Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma smiled:

"In the same way, once you join forces to help a small country, it is equivalent to embarking on a single tree, and victory may not necessarily get benefits, and four hundred will face the destruction of the country."

"Therefore, the combination of vertical and horizontal did not see the effect, but the person who engaged in the combination and vertical made a name for it."

"The status of the monarch is constantly declining, and the Zongheng family is compared to a hundred officials, and then rethink it, is this the truth?"

Listen up.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in place as if he was struck by lightning, and he was still full of complaints, and he couldn't spit out a word at the moment.

"That's what Mr. Lin meant?"

"If you explain it like that, it makes sense."

"In that case, why didn't you remind us earlier?"

Seeing his sullen face, Queen Ma couldn't help but sigh, got up and poured a cup of tea for him:

"I thought you understood, but who knew you didn't?"

"Will you be the emperor, or will I be the emperor?"

"It's about Daming's foundation, how can a woman intervene?"

"But if you put your mind to it any longer, you won't be able to do it at all."

Zhu Yuanzhang poured two sips of tea, only to feel dizzy and uncomfortable, and his mood at this time was more and more boring.

It turned out that it wasn't that Lin Che didn't say anything about it, but that he didn't understand the sound at all.

I thought it was all the way, but in fact it didn't make sense.

No wonder Lin Che's attitude towards himself is getting worse and worse, there are reasons and traces to follow.

With that in mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help pinching his eyebrows.

"Girl."

"We're begging you."

"If you think of anything in the future, don't hide it anymore."

"We're not letting you do politics, so you have to help us do some work!"

"We're family."

"Red tape should not be eaten."

As soon as this statement came out.

Queen Ma's face did not change, and she did not say anything about it, but said:

"I'll talk about the future later, so I'll finish this thing first."

"If you want to unify the world, the premise is to be able to defeat other countries, and if you want to be safe, you must ensure that your own country is not violated."

"If the country is strong, it can defeat other countries, and the stability of the court can not be violated, so the Zongheng family is just instigating strife."

"It's like a chess player who makes a profit from it."

Queen Ma said to herself, while smoothing the prince's collar, and said earnestly:

"In this world, the more things the better, the easier it is to achieve results, and the more resources there are, the easier it is to achieve success."

"If the country is strong, it is easy for the strategy to succeed, on the contrary, if the national strength is weak, the strategy is easy to make mistakes."

"Therefore, it is not that the courtiers of the Qin State are smart, nor that the ministers of the Yan State are clumsy, but because the conditions of the two countries are different."

"Taking this as a lesson, if the Ming Dynasty wants to be invincible, it must ensure that the national strength is strong."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but gasp and nodded thoughtfully.

"People habitually pursue comfort and self-interest, and deliberately avoid danger and poverty, which is also the human nature that Mr. Lin talked about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and seeking good fortune and avoiding evil."

"If they go to the battlefield, they may be killed if they advance, and they will face military law when they retreat, give up their personal family business, and bear the labor of war."

Queen Ma smiled and said:

"Faced with such a dangerous situation, how could they not find a way to escape?"

"Only then did they turn to the powerful, hoping to be exempted from military service and bribe those in power with money in a vain attempt to put an end to the danger."

In this way, there are fewer and fewer people who contribute to the public, and the power of the powerful is getting bigger and bigger.

"In the end, the common people and the nobility all became the enemies of the monarch."

"How can you enrich the country and strengthen the army?"

As she spoke, Queen Ma straightened up and said solemnly:

"Heavy eight."

"This is the starting point for Mr. Lin to let you retract your rights."

"Otherwise, one day, the Zhu family will stand on the opposite side of the people, resulting in the change of dynasty and the destruction of the country."

After listening to his wife's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his oily old face, and only then did he wake up like a dream.

The intricate threads in his mind were finally woven into a rope, reconnecting all the lessons that Lin Che had taught.

It was abrupt and there was a feeling of amnesty.

"Yes, my sister is right."

"We understand now."

"Just saying that we don't like to deal with literati, this Mr. Lin is really true, why can't you say it directly?"

"Do you have to twist and turn, hide in the lesson?"

"We're just a big boss, isn't it embarrassing for us?!"

The words fell.

Queen Ma raised her chin slightly and stopped talking, she was too lazy to take care of him, and summarized directly:

"And the reason for the confusion is nothing more than those who write books and speak about it, pretending to promote the royal law under the guise of morality, and pay attention to etiquette to cover up the truth of hypocrisy."

"Disturb the prevailing decrees and shake the determination of the monarch."

"It is those courtiers who set up clever names, swagger and deceive, and use the power of a country to accomplish their own private goals."

"And those so-called ministers who oppose the emperor, claiming to serve the country and the people are actually trying to make a good name."

"Truth and falsehood, fiction and reality, how can there be perfection in the true sense?"

"Times have indeed changed, but the scourge of the five hubs has not changed."

"The predicament of the lost country has not changed!"

Let's talk about it.

Queen Ma stood up and left the table, and raised her hand to show the palace maid who was surprised.

"That's all I have to say."

"When you figure it out, go find Mr. Lin."

"The boss is optimistic about your father, I'll go back and rest first."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Zhu Biao hurriedly saluted.

On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang did not move, and it took a long time for a pair of tiger eyes to refocus.

When Queen Ma faded away, she disappeared around the corner at the end.

The hall was quiet again.

"Boss, come with us."

"We've got a way!"
