Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 706: Road of Exploration
Regarding the various deployments in Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao talked with the ministers of the two studies for a long time, which lasted for several days. During the conversation, there were too many details to be explained. If the details were not made clear, it would inevitably affect the general direction. It was through such in-depth discussions that the ministers of the two studies understood the emperor's various ideas about Liaodong.

It was this in-depth discussion that made Zhu Youxiao realize that the implementation of the new policy was not a one-time thing, but that it would inevitably be a transition from one stage to the next, and this was destined to be a reality.

People who can be reused in this stage may not necessarily be reused in the next stage. Therefore, we must focus on building a talent echelon to ensure that when the old stage comes to an end and a new stage begins, there are always people who can keep up with him and work with him to promote change.

Therefore, the old and the new are never unchanging. They will change with the changes in the situation. The old may still be old, but the new may not always be new.

This is also the reason why every time a new policy appears, it is bound to be questioned, criticized, and even abused! !

Forbidden City.

Kunning Palace.

A snowstorm fell silently, covering the sky and the earth with a thick layer of silver. The arrival of midwinter added a bit of desolation to the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, have you encountered any troubles recently?"

Outside Kunning Palace, Zhang Yan, wearing a cloak, held Zhu Youxiao's hand, and the two walked in the snow. When she saw Zhu Youxiao's slightly frowned brows, Zhang Yan said with concern.

"When you came to Kunning Palace these few days, I noticed that you often frowned and didn't talk as much as before. This is not good for your dragon body."

"Is it obvious?"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and looked at Zhang Yan and asked back.

"Yes."

Zhang Yan nodded seriously.

"Hehe...I encountered some troubles."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head, holding Zhang Yan's hand tightly, "I didn't affect you, did I?"

"No."

Zhang Yan replied: "It is just that seeing Your Majesty like this, I can't help but feel worried."

“Doesn’t this still have an impact?”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and asked back: "When dealing with some military and political affairs in the court, I have some worries. I don't know whether what I insist on doing is right or wrong for the country and the world."

In fact, this is not what Zhu Youxiao really wanted to say.

What he really wanted to say was whether this path he had clearly defined, with no other path of exploration to draw on, could continue in the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

"I don't understand the military and political affairs."

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment when she saw this, and then said to Zhu Youxiao: "But I do know one thing, since your majesty ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has indeed been getting better."

"Your Majesty has resolved the crisis in Liaodong. The rebellious Jianlu have long since lost their former arrogance. This has also saved the people of Liaodong from a life of displacement and the threat of being harmed by the Jianlu."

"There is also disaster relief. All the measures Your Majesty has taken before are to reduce the losses and casualties of the people affected by the disaster."

"These are just some of what I know. As for those that I don't know, I firmly believe that what Your Majesty is doing is truly making Ming Dynasty better."

"Do you have that much confidence in me?"

Zhu Youxiao stopped and smiled, then reached out and gently hooked Zhang Yan's nose.

"of course."

Zhang Yan's cheeks were slightly red, but she said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Not only do I have confidence in Your Majesty, but everyone in the Ming Dynasty has confidence in Your Majesty!"

"What if I make a mistake?"

Zhu Youxiao asked rhetorically.

"I believe that the talents Your Majesty values ​​will promptly advise Your Majesty when you really make a mistake." Zhang Yan said in the face of Zhu Youxiao's gaze.

"What if I insist on my own opinion?"

Zhu Youxiao asked again.

"I believe that Your Majesty can distinguish between honest advice and loyal advice." Under Zhu Youxiao's gaze, Zhang Yan let go of Zhu Youxiao's hand, hugged Zhu Youxiao's arm, and leaned her head on Zhu Youxiao's arm. "Everyone makes mistakes. No one can be perfect. After all, everyone makes mistakes. But it doesn't matter if you make mistakes. If you know where you made the mistake, then there is still a chance."

When she said this, Zhang Yan reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen.

"I don't know what Your Majesty wants, but I can feel that Your Majesty is under a lot of pressure."

Zhang Yan continued softly, "Perhaps many people do not understand Your Majesty, and even I may not be able to fully understand it. After all, the heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty is all on Your Majesty's shoulders."

"I just hope that Your Majesty can stay healthy. As for future events, there is no need to consider them all now. After all, what will happen in the future cannot be fully predicted now."

"Ha ha…"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing. He reached out and gently stroked Zhang Yan's forehead. Zhu Youxiao agreed with what Zhang Yan said.

indeed.

People cannot be trapped by things that have not happened in the future. If they do, they will fall into a tense state, which may lead to deviations.

What's more, you feel that nothing has changed, but in fact, changes have already taken place without your noticing, but you just haven't noticed them.

"Baozhu is right."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "We should have a sense of crisis, but we can't let it affect us all the time. After all, the road we are on is full of unknowns, just like the road of exploration that I pointed out to the Ming Dynasty. We have to stop and go, and it is impossible to move forward at a fast pace all the time."

"Sometimes we walk too fast and forget to look at our feet, and we might fall down. Since we are on a road of exploration, we must explore it and not rush."

"Hey~"

"Snapped!"

And at this moment, dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky not far away.

"Your Majesty, do you like the gift I prepared for you?"

Seeing the fireworks, Zhang Yan grabbed Zhu Youxiao's arm and said to him with a smile.

"nice."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Yan, then looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, revealing a faint smile, "Another year has passed, hehe~"

Yes.

Another year has passed. Compared with last year's Ming Dynasty, this year's Ming Dynasty does not seem to have changed much, but in fact there are still quite a lot of changes.

"On New Year's Day, Baozhu, do you want to go up to Chengtian Gate to watch the fireworks?" Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao reached out and gently stroked Zhang Yan's cheek.

"May I?"

Zhang Yan frowned slightly, "Will this make..."

"of course can!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a sonorous tone: "It's the New Year. Let alone watching fireworks, even if you want to leave the palace, I can satisfy you."

"Ok?"

Zhang Yan was obviously moved when she heard this. Although she was a queen of high status in the Forbidden City, it was this identity that confined her here.

The Forbidden City is like a besieged city. People inside want to get out, and people outside want to get in.

"Then I won't spend the New Year's Day in the palace."

Seeing Zhang Yan like this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Let's skip the red tape. I will take Baozhu to visit the capital and see the place that has changed because of me."

"it is good!!"

Zhang Yan couldn't hide her surprise and said, "Your Majesty, please take me to see it when the time comes."
