King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu
Chapter 189: Boss, we want you to be the auxiliary prince of the Ming Dynasty!
Chapter 189 Lao Shi, we want you to be the auxiliary prince of the Ming Dynasty!
talking.
Zhu Tan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, do you know who is the emperor that my sons admire most throughout the ages?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little baffled when he heard Zhu Tan's words, but he still thought about it and said: "You should not like the cruelty of Emperor Qin. The Han Dynasty has great talents and great strategies. Tang Taizong is both civil and military. He is unparalleled in the world. Genghis Khan is a barbarian. I guess you Not happy either!
It's just between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, right?
Our son can't like Song Renzong, who is praised by scholars, right? "
Zhu Tan smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "First of all, my father, although history books and current scholars all say that Emperor Qin is cruel and unethical! But Emperor Qin is the second most admired emperor by my sons! He is my Huaxia Emperor. The first emperor, he conquered the six kingdoms and unified the country. From then on, the world was on the same track, wrote the same text, and created a ten thousand-year-old foundation. Since the ancestor dragon, China has returned to one heart. The world will be divided for a long time, but it will also be divided for a long time. So majestic! How can such talent and great strategy be summed up in one word: cruelty!"
The words fell.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel excited!
In fact, Lao Zhu never said anything good about Qin Shihuang.
On the one hand, the Yuan court was brutal and militant, leading to the country's destruction. As the founder of the Ming Dynasty and an opponent of the violent Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally could not respect a figure like Qin Shihuang.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it! To govern the world, we cannot do without the support of scholars no matter what.
Scholars all over the world were speaking ill of Qin Shihuang. How could Zhu Yuanzhang say good things for him in order to gain the support of scholars?
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Tan's evaluation of Qin Shihuang, he suddenly felt refreshed and even became excited!
"Old Shi, if your evaluation of Emperor Qin spreads out, I'm afraid you will be criticized verbally and writtenly by the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was all smiles.
Zhu Tan said nonchalantly: "Have they verbally criticized my ministers enough? This is not the first time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
It is true that from reforming the imperial examination to clearing land, Lao Shi has offended all scholars in the world.
There are several big boxes piled up with memorials to impeach the old man for his illegal conspiracy, which has brought disaster to the country and the people, and for deceiving the emperor.
It is true that he is not itchy when there are too many lice, and he is not worried when there are too many debts.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Since Emperor Qin is the second emperor you admire, then Han Wu and Tang Taizong are the emperors you admire first?"
Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Hanwu protected the Han people, wiped out Mobei, and sealed the wolf as a Xu. Naturally, I admire him. But in the later period, he harmed the people, and the people's livelihood in the world was in ruins. His merits and demerits are obvious. I admire him." His likes are not ranked first!
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was both civil and military and established the rule of Zhenguan. His sons and ministers also admired him! But he killed his brother and forced his father. His personal moral flaws will never be washed away, and his sons and ministers do not admire him the most! "
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Then who do you admire the most?"
Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Father, be confident! My son, the one I admire the most is you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed immediately when he heard this.
"You brat, don't pat our horses!"
Zhu Tan shook his head and said: "I am definitely not trying to flatter others! My father's achievements are indeed the greatest in the history of China!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan, smiled, and said: "We know how many pounds we have! You kid, just saying nice things is useless! Let us hear why so many sages are not the emperors you admire first, but are the emperors you admire first? Highly recommend to us!”
Zhu Tan nodded and said seriously: "Throughout the ages, the only people who came from a humble background and succeeded in conquering the world are you, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! We are not dead, so you are giving us a temple title?"
Got it!
When I got excited, I shouted out Lao Zhu’s temple name!
Zhu Tan gave a dry laugh and said: "Father, my son, this is so smooth. You said it. You can speak freely today. No matter what you say, you will not be angry!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, felt helpless, nodded, and said angrily: "You are right! No matter what, when we die, it will definitely be Emperor Taizu Gao! Go on!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Tan again.
"Just this once! If you talk nonsense next time, we'll slap you!"
Zhu Tan gave a bitter smile and said: "In short, except for Liu Bang, in all dynasties, you are the only one who can conquer the world through rebellion and establish a unified dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "We are not rebelling! We are seeing the chaos in the world, the misery of the people, and the incompetence of the Yuan court. Our original intention is to clean up the mountains and rivers and restore peace to the world." (After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he once wrote to Emperor Yuan Shun: I am Commoner, I used to be in the fields, relying on the joy of peace, but suddenly the monsters started chaos, and the sea was full of chaos. I couldn't rest in peace because of the disturbance of the heroes, so I was praised by the public, to care for the people who built the industry, and to bring peace to the world. But you can't control it. I ordered the general to start his army from Qilu, pass through Heluo, and then reach Yancheng. Before my army arrived, you abandoned the clan and left.)
Zhu Tan chuckled.
"Father, let's just go and deceive the poor Emperor Yuan Shun! Why should I tell my son?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "Originally. That's how it is!"
Zhu Tan shook his head.
Lao Zhu is so hypocritical!
Zhu Tan continued: "My father was of lower origin and poorer than the emperor of the Han Dynasty! However, he finally created the huge Ming Dynasty, ended the wars since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and allowed the people to no longer suffer from the war. This is the first One effort!
Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Shi Jingtang of the later Jin Dynasty offered the Sixteen Youyun Provinces to the Liao Kingdom. From then on, China fell into a situation of dividing the north and the south! The Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent. Not only did it fail to regain Youyun, but it also lost the Central Plains to the Jin Kingdom! It was even more unbearable for the Yuan Dynasty, and they simply lost the world!
Since then, the land of China has sunk, civilization has been lost, and we, the Chinese Han people, have fallen into an unprecedented crisis!
Erchen has read history books. During the Yuan Dynasty, many Han people took Mongolian names in order to seek the favor of the Mongols! Such as Li Chahan, Zhang Timur Buhua, Zhao Tuotuo, Song Yexian and so on!
If we Han people do not rebuild China, in a few hundred years, the backbone of the Han people will be broken!
It was my father who established the Ming Dynasty, rebuilt China, and restored the confidence of the Han people! Reconnected with the backbone of China! Such a great achievement is comparable to that of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han! This is the second skill! "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt as if he had eaten ginseng fruit. There were 48,000 pores in his body, and the word "comfortable" appeared in his pores!
He is the emperor, and it is easy to hear flattery, but Zhu Yuanzhang disdains that kind of false praise.
But what Zhu Tan said was emotional and reasonable, spoke from the heart, and hit the point everywhere, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel like he had a close friend!
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was already smiling.
Zhu Tan continued: "My father's third greatest achievement is that he was able to unify the world while conquering the south and the north, and at the same time develop production and take care of people's livelihood, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment! Although I think that today's people's lives are not It’s not that good, but my father was able to clear up Mobei and create a prosperous age of Hongwu at the same time. He is already the rarest all-round emperor in the world!”
Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing when he heard this.
"Okay, okay! We have fought in the world all our lives, but I didn't expect that the person who understands us best is my own son!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood for a while.
However, he still looked at Zhu Tan and asked: "Don't judge him right or left. What we are asking you is, do you reform the imperial examination system, reform the recruitment system, clear land in the King of Lu, and implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay taxes! These things No matter what you do, it is always difficult, especially if you have many opponents. You probably don’t know this yet, right?
We have blocked countless impeachments for you! Many people are even willing to risk their lives. What you are doing is harming the country and the people!
If we hadn't suppressed these memorials, you, Prince Lu, would have been eliminated long ago. "
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan, frowned and said: "We know that the officials and gentry are really offended by what you did. Reforming the imperial examination system can bring a source of vitality to our Ming Dynasty, and then make it impossible for those officials and gentry to cover the sky with one hand.
Reforming the recruitment system allows us to truly see what a strong army should look like, but at the same time, those corrupt officials who rely on military promotion to get rich and drink the blood of soldiers will also have their livelihood cut off!
The land was cleared again, so that the officials and gentry had to work as errands and pay food like the common people. The court was rich, and the interests of the local powerful were harmed!
Lao Shi, this is what we don’t understand about you!
Since you don't want to be the emperor or the prince, why do you work so hard and be the enemy of the world? "
Zhu Tan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said slowly: "Because the emperor whom I admire the most is my father!
Father, re-create China and restore the glory of the Han people! I also want to contribute to this honor!
I don’t want to see the Han people reduced to two-legged sheep and eaten alive by barbarians!
I don't want to see the Han people reduced to the fourth class, with a group of barbarians standing tall and killing the Han people!
I hope that the Ming Dynasty will shine forever, and I want to see the people of the Ming Dynasty hold their heads high and their chests held high, so that all nations will come to court and all the barbarian guests will be convinced!
Why should I sacrifice my life just to see that day! "
Zhu Yuanzhang was inexplicably excited when he heard Zhu Tan's words.
He could feel the sincerity in Zhu Tan's words.
It is even said that Zhu Tan's obsession with restoring the glory of the Han people is even more determined and stronger than himself.
After all, Lao Zhu just wanted to be an emperor.
Furthermore, he wanted to be a good emperor who would leave a name in history.
But Zhu Tan completely puts his ideals above the interests of the nation.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned at Zhu Tan and asked, "In that case, why don't you want to be the emperor?
When the emperor has the power, many things you imagine can be decided with one word! "
Zhu Tan shook his head and said: "It's different, Father!
Being an emperor often results in a constraint. At the same time, becoming an emperor means that there will be no obstacles to the ideas of the ministers, and they must be implemented firmly!
In this way, those opponents are completely on the opposite side of Erchen, and there will be no relaxation!
Erchen just wants to push the entire Ming Dynasty forward in a quiet way. If he stands on the stage, the entire Ming Dynasty may even split!
As for the opponents, their power is definitely greater than that of Erchen. At that time, Erchen's reforms may not be pushed forward at all. "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
As Zhu Tan said, even if he is the emperor, there is nothing he can do, he is really arbitrary.
It's okay to kill a few people, it's okay to raise taxes, and it's still okay to pursue pleasure.
But if, like Zhu Tan, you stand against the gentry and landlords all over the world in the name of reform, even if you are the emperor, you will probably face the scene of chaos and rebellion everywhere!
This situation was absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "You mean, although you don't want to be the emperor, you want to control the imperial power behind the scenes, and the emperor is just a buffer between you and the landlords?"
Zhu Tan was stunned when he heard this.
This Lao Zhu’s interpretation is too terrible.
According to what he said, wouldn't he still be a rebellious minister?
In an instant, cold sweat ran down his forehead.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! Old Shi, we are really happy that you have such an ambition! Hahahaha."
Zhu Tan was stunned when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.
What's wrong with the old man?
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Old Ten! Do you know why we allow you to enjoy exclusive privileges among many vassal kings? You can freely enter and exit the vassal territory, and even take charge of important financial resources such as Changlu Saltworks! Next, we will go one step further and really He allowed you to preside over the reform of the imperial examination, and also gave your King Lu vassal great power, and even added Qingzhou and Laizhou to your vassal!
Logically speaking, it should have been the King of Qin, and the King of Jin was the most noble, but in our Ming Dynasty, the one who is ultimately noble and has the most power is you, King Zhu Tan of Lu!
I won’t hide it from you, since we gave you such great rights in the domain, even the princelings have become nervous!
The officials in the Prince's Mansion, as well as many civil servants who have supported the Prince for many years, are all trying to impeach you!
We know that they are worried that I will pamper you too much, and even have the idea of replacing the elder and establishing the younger in their hearts! "
Zhu Tan was speechless when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
My reputation is not very good, and I often do it just to avoid trouble!
Everyone in the world is against you, do you still believe that you have a disobedient heart?
Unexpectedly, these people were still unyielding and even felt a great sense of crisis.
However, Zhu Tan was also very curious. Why did Lao Zhu use him so highly and give him so many unique treatments?
Zhu Tan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Is it because your father values your son so highly because he gave you a lot of money?"
Zhu Yuanzhang blushed.
Some of them became angry and said: "Asshole! Can we buy it with money? The emperor is rich all over the world, it is not easy for us to get money, why do you need to give it? This is really unreasonable!
Now that it’s happened, we’ll tell you!
Lao Shi, we want you to be the auxiliary prince of our Ming Dynasty!
The power is not greater than that of the emperor!
Of course, this completely cuts off your path to becoming emperor!
We will write it clearly in the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. If the auxiliary prince behaves disobediently, the whole world will attack him! "
