I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 408 The civil and military officials were shocked, Lao Zhu was stunned!
ten days later.

Zhu Yunxuan took the civil and military officials and Lao Zhu out of the city and went straight to the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.

According to the latest news from the Ministry of Industry, the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge has been completely completed and can be accepted at any time, so Zhu Yunxu directly took everyone to watch.

For this wonder that only belongs to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxuan has been preparing for so many years, and now that he has finally reaped the rewards, he is naturally overjoyed and does not want to wait for a moment.

Even Lao Zhu was impatient. His health had just gotten better in the past ten days. When Zhu Yunzhen came to the door, he dragged his weak body and insisted on going.

Zhu Yunzhen tried to dissuade him, but Lao Zhu was extremely determined. Zhu Yunzhen had no reason to stop him, so he had no choice but to let Lao Zhu follow.

But Zhu Yunxuan still told Lao Zhu not to get off the carriage unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, although winter has passed now, as the saying goes, spring is cold and cold, and now is the time when the warmth returns to the cold!
Who can guarantee that Lao Zhu's health will become worse after the cold wind blows?

No one can guarantee this!

All the imperial doctors could only advise Lao Zhu not to go out and stay in the hospital to rest. At the same time, with the imperial doctors accompanying him, he might be able to maintain his health and live for a few more years.

But Lao Zhu's will was extremely strong, and Zhu Yunxi couldn't resist it, but he still insisted that Lao Zhu could only stay on the carriage and not go to the ground to enjoy the wind.

The wind on the river was strong and it was cold in spring. Zhu Yunzhen hoped that Lao Zhu would live a few more years.

It doesn't take a while.

Shanda's motorcade arrived at the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge from the capital. The labor camp that originally ran for ten miles had disappeared, leaving only an extremely wide bridge!
That is the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge!
The river is filled with mist, and you can't even see the end at a glance!

And this bridge is like the bridge that spans the origin of heaven and earth, standing on the river!
wide!Great!grand!

No words can describe its magnificence!Especially in this era where there are not even high-rise buildings!
When they saw such a bridge spanning the north and south, everyone felt an unspeakable shock!
At this moment, all the civil and military officials finally clearly realized that Ming Dynasty's strength had reached this level!Ming’s technology has actually reached this level!
The bridge, which is several kilometers long and tens of meters wide, has two floors, spanning the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. It disappears into the mist like a long dragon, with no end in sight!

This is the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge!
Lao Zhu was even more stunned when he saw it. He remembered that when Lao Zhu first started his career, when he was marching and building a bridge over water, he just connected some floating boats, connected them with iron ropes, and laid wooden planks on top of the wooden boats.

It is already rare to build a floating bridge.

But now, even the most difficult natural barrier to cross the Yangtze River has been conquered by the Ming Dynasty, and such a majestic wonder building has been built!

Doesn’t this mean that today’s Ming Dynasty is far from the Ming Dynasty of the past?
And the Ming Dynasty since Zhu Yunzhen took charge of the country is far better than the Ming Dynasty when he was in charge?

Regarding this, Lao Zhu only felt pride and pride in his heart, not even the slightest bit dissatisfied.

The emperors of the Lao Zhu family must naturally become stronger with each passing generation!
And if one generation is really weaker than the other, I'm afraid Lao Zhu will find out underground and really want to vomit blood!

There is no peace in death!

If we really follow the trajectory of history, and the emperors of Lao Zhu's family become more weird and weaker than each generation, then Lao Zhu is the one with the most knowledge, and his mentality will explode!

However, Zhu Yunxuan was not clear about the thoughts in the minds of the civil and military officials and Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yunzhen only knew that at this moment, he felt the same earth-shaking feeling in his heart.

A bridge that existed in later generations was built hundreds of years in advance by himself, and was reproduced perfectly one-to-one.

How can this not be called a spectacle?

Moreover, after the bridge was built, the traffic between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty became smoother, and the imperial power could also be extended with the construction of this bridge.

At the same time, people all over the world will become more and more loyal to the Ming Dynasty because of the construction of this bridge, because if they had not received the destiny, how could they build such a magnificent building?

At this moment, Zhu Yunxuan thought of too much, including the practical significance of this bridge and its significance to the Ming Dynasty throughout the ages.

But more than that, it’s a kind of satisfaction!
Because this is the trace left by him, Zhu Yunxuan, in this era!

Leave a mark!
Different from the vulgar behavior of "visiting here" inscribed on historical monuments, Zhu Yunzhen truly carved himself into historical monuments!
In the future, anyone who comes to the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge will definitely mention Zhu Yunxuan's name!

At the same time, all the achievements Zhu Yunxun has done will also be mentioned!Just like the Great Wall was to Qin Shihuang, this bridge is Zhu Yunzhen's Great Wall!
"It's really a majestic and spectacular sight." Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but sigh.

rear.

All the civil and military officials couldn't help but agree: "Your Highness, this is an eternal wonder! It cannot be seen without an eternal Mingjun!"

"Your Highness and Your Majesty, it is this Eternal Mingjun!"

"Of course it is! Since ancient times, large-scale construction projects have necessitated the recruitment of corvees, which makes the people's livelihood difficult!"

"But His Highness was exempted from the corvee and built such a magnificent bridge. How can he not be a wise king through the ages?"

Shock is one thing.

On the other hand, we must seize the time and flatter Zhu Yunzhen.

Everyone knows that His Highness Taisun never likes flattery or mindless flattery.

And it is rare to be so happy. If you don't take advantage of this moment to make His Highness the Grand Sun happy, isn't this a missed opportunity?

Didn’t you see that all the officials that His Highness the Grand Sun valued were promoted to big shots in the court?
In the past two years, Zhai Shan went from being a mere governor of Shaanxi to his current position as head of the Department of Shipping!
In the DPRK, he can be said to be the master of all things!

As for the other party, he just caught Zhu Yunxuan's preference for going to sea and tried his best to flatter His Highness Taisun, so he got where he is today.

Therefore, the next Zhai Shan may not be them!
But they didn't know that the reason why Zhu Yunzhen appointed Zhai Shan was certainly not because he could flatter Zhu Yunzhen. In fact, Zhai Shan would never flatter Zhu Yunzhen.

The reason why Zhu Yunxuan really pushed Zhai Shan to the forefront was because he used him as a tool to expand imperial power!

After all, a court cannot be filled with gentlemen, otherwise the emperor's majesty will be lost!
Without treacherous ministers, how could the emperor's supreme power be demonstrated?
As the saying goes, thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.

Zhu Yunzhen knew very well that if the ministers in the court really wanted to be promoted as long as they did good things, then the emperor's majesty would be gone before long, and none of the civil and military officials would take the emperor seriously.

And this is exactly the contradiction of the emperor's position.

Any emperor wants his ministers to be capable ministers, upright officials, and loyal ministers!
But when it came to practice, I discovered that corrupt officials and traitorous ministers were the emperor's greatest source of power!

The essence of power is actually ritual.

Therefore, etiquette cannot be discarded!
Form is also necessary to exist!

If Zhu Yunxuan really wanted to become emperor according to the thinking of the common people in later generations, he would probably lose the majesty of the emperor within a few days.

And these are all things Zhu Yunxuan learned from Lao Zhu, because it was Lao Zhu who established the emperor's majesty from scratch!

At the same time, it was Lao Zhu who taught Zhu Yunzhen many principles that he could not understand originally.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhen wanted to fulfill all the regrets in Lao Zhu's heart, so that Lao Zhu could leave with peace of mind and without any regrets.

"We grew up in troubled times. Since we were young, we have grown up hearing rumors about the prosperous times."

While Zhu Yunxu was watching the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge, an old and weak voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Yunxu's ears.

It was Lao Zhu who got off the carriage!

Zhu Yunxuan quickly turned around and asked with concern: "Grandpa Huang, why are you down here?"

"It's very windy outside, don't make your condition worse!"

But Lao Zhu just waved his hand.

He tightened his clothes and continued: "It's okay. If we don't walk this bridge ourselves, we won't feel at ease even if we die."

Lao Zhu once again pulled out the trump card of regret in life, and naturally Zhu Yunzhen did not dare to stop him.

He had no choice but to let Lao Zhu continue talking. "I think back then, we were in troubled times! Even food and clothing could not satisfy us, so we had no choice but to shave our heads, disguise ourselves as monks, and go around asking for alms."

"We barely survived, but our brothers were not so lucky."

"Since then, we have been thinking, what is a prosperous age? What is a troubled time?"

"Why do the people not have enough to eat, don't have enough food to eat, and don't have enough to drink? At the same time, I'm also thinking, what is it like in the prosperous times?"

"Have no worries about food and clothing? Live and work in peace and contentment? Or maybe the officials will govern the Qingming Festival."

"But it's only now that we have seen what a prosperous age is!"

I saw Lao Zhu pointing in the direction of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge and said firmly: "This is the scenery of the prosperous times!"

Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but nodded.

That's right.

This Jinling Yangtze River Bridge is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty!
It was also the beginning of a great empire!
"What Grandpa Huang said is absolutely true."

"My grandson now gives an order to let the people of the Ming Dynasty know that this bridge is the beginning of the prosperous age of our Ming Dynasty! Let all the people of the Ming Dynasty know that the prosperous age has arrived!"

"The troubled times of decades ago have completely passed!"

"Those precarious days are gone forever! All my people in the Ming Dynasty will enjoy unprecedented prosperity and wealth!"

"I, Zhu Yunzhen, will never break my promise!"

All civil and military officials knelt down quickly.

shouted in unison.

"Great grandson Qiangu!"

"His Majesty through the ages!"

"Eternal Ming Dynasty!"

……

Ming dynasty.

Capital.

After the new issue of "People's Daily" was printed, the people in the capital also learned about the completion of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.

Some people even spread the news throughout the capital that Zhu Yunxuan was taking all the civil and military officials to inspect the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge!

In a teahouse or restaurant.

The Jinling Yangtze River Bridge has once again become the focus of conversation after several years.

But this time, it was different from last time.

An exquisite picture from the artist's hand spread throughout the capital, with the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge clearly painted on it!
All the people felt an unprecedented shock!
That's an incredible feeling!
The artist drew the entire Jinling Yangtze River Bridge from a bird's-eye view, and not far from the bridge is the majestic Jinling City!
In Jinling City, the characters are vivid and lively, and on the bridge, there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages, traveling on both sides of the Yangtze River!

What a magnificent scene this is?
The unbridled imagination has made the people of this era feel unprecedented shock!Looking down from the sky, how can ordinary people draw it unless they see it with their own eyes?

According to rumors, His Highness Taisun personally described this picture, and then asked the best painter to paint it!
The effect is naturally shocking!

However, the common people are not entirely concerned about the topic of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge. What everyone is more concerned about is the news that Lao Zhu was seriously ill some time ago.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is seriously ill. This is huge news!

Naturally, he is always watched by the people of the capital.

But today, I heard that when His Highness Taisun left the city, he was not only accompanied by hundreds of officials, but also His Majesty the Emperor.

Let’s go to Jinling Yangtze River Bridge together!

"It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty is fine."

"Now that we can inspect the bridge, doesn't it mean that the rumors from some time ago are untrue?"

"Your Majesty's illness is actually not serious?"

But at this time, someone stood up and sang the opposite tune.

Said: "What's good! It's indeed a good thing that His Majesty is in good health, but if this continues, when will His Majesty the Grand Sun ascend the throne?"

"Now that the supervision of the country has achieved such results, if we wait for His Highness the Grand Sun to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"Why don't I, the Ming Dynasty, just ascend in the daytime?"

"After all, His Highness Taisun is a god from heaven! He will surely bring all the people of Ming Dynasty to heaven to enjoy happiness!"

But the other party's remarks made everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Some people even laughed and said: "You fool, even if His Highness the Great Grandson descends to earth, you will not be able to ascend in the daytime!"

"And with the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, if His Majesty lives one more day, His Highness the Grand Sun's throne will be more stable!"

"If you support His Majesty the Grand Sun, you should wish His Majesty the Emperor to live a few more days!"

But just when everyone was discussing it.

The owner of the restaurant came over.

He whispered: "Dear guests, don't tell the truth anymore!"

"Now the Ming Dynasty is much more relaxed under the governance of His Highness Taisun."

"But if you talk about royal affairs rashly and are held accountable, you won't be able to live with it!"

"What I'm most afraid of is that Izumi's people will hear it!"

"Then I'll find some excuse to take you out to sea!"

"There is a huge shortage of people overseas now!"

After hearing Izumi, everyone suddenly became quiet and did not dare to speak anymore.

Although the people of the Ming Dynasty overseas are treated well, they are thousands of miles away!

As long as they can live happily in Ming Dynasty, who would be willing to go overseas?

But then again.

It is thanks to the Overseas Export Department that we have managed to get so many people to go overseas in these years!

Only then did Ming Dynasty’s overseas colonies get established!
