Zhu Yuanzhang's career distribution system has great flaws.
Even at its core, it is the same concept as the caste system.
For now, it is still very suitable for the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Once the economy starts to prosper, it will not be possible.
However, since Zhu Di, this career distribution system has gradually become uninterested.
Even the emperor himself later did not talk about the ancestral teachings.
"Governing the country is not as simple as you think. If a foolish king really appears, no matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it will gradually decline. This is inevitable."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
Restricted by small farmer thinking and historical limitations.
He established the relatively rigid system of the Ming Dynasty today, and hoped that the Ming Dynasty could last for generations to come.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, who has read history books, also understands better that there is never a perfect system.
The only thing he can do is to make Ming's existence longer-term.
Hearing what the old man said, Zhu Ying was stunned.
He didn't expect that in this era, the old man would have such awareness.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Ying said: "Actually, there is a better way. As long as the territory of the Ming Dynasty is broad enough, like the Zhou Dynasty, it will have a kingdom of nearly 800 years."
When he heard about the Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and retorted: "If the Ming Dynasty was not broken into dozens of pieces and the state was maintained through feudal states, what would be the meaning of this?"
Zhu Ying was silent, and after a moment he said: "Overseas, the country is closed."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused.
He didn't expect that after all the talk, the eldest grandson's final thought was to conquer.
Originally, he just thought that after Da Sun defeated the Japanese country, he would probably be able to settle down, but this is what he meant.
Rather than just fighting against Japan, we need to fight all the way.
How is this kind of thinking different from Meng Yuan's?
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get angry, scold, and scold.
However, when I saw my eldest grandson, I couldn't bear to part with him.
He could only snort coldly, stand up and say: "It's getting late, let's go first."
After saying that, he walked away.
Zhu Ying looked at the old man's leaving figure and remained silent for a long time.
If you want the Ming Dynasty to prosper and rule for a long time, conquering the world is the best way.
As firearms become more powerful, the way war will be fought will change greatly in the future.
Without a large amount of manpower and material resources, only a small number of elite soldiers carrying sophisticated firearms can conquer a small country and directly incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if it is limited by the speed of information dissemination, if we are to conquer countries overseas and educate the world, so what if the Ming Dynasty dies.
It is enough for this world to become a world of Han culture.
When Han culture spreads under the sun and the moon, what does it matter if the world's surname is Zhu, Zhao, or Li?
As long as he has a constitutional monarch, he will still be a democratic republic.
Zhu Ying can't control much of what will happen thousands of years later. The only thing he can do is to make the world in the future centered on Han culture.
........
Daming Palace.
There was no morning court today, which surprised the civil and military ministers.
But even so, they still have to go to work and get off work on time, without any rest.
It does not mean that when the emperor rests, the ministers can rest.
At most, he would arrive early at the gate of Fengtian Palace and wait for a stick of incense before the eunuch informed him to withdraw from the court.
East Palace, Chunhe Hall.
"Grandpa Huang went out last night and hasn't come back yet. My fourth uncle also went to court in the morning."
Zhu Yunwen said to Huang Zicheng in a deep voice.
When Huang Zicheng heard this, he immediately understood.
His Majesty often leaves the palace, so he may not have much to do with Prince Yan's palace.
"Last night, before the emperor left the palace, he received news of Uncle Muying's death." Zhu Yunwen added again.
"Is it because Xipinghou passed away?" Huang Zicheng couldn't help but ask.
.
"Absolutely." Zhu Yunwen nodded.
Huang Zicheng's face suddenly turned ugly.
Daoyan mistook me!
Since the last meeting with Yao Guangxiao, Huang Zicheng has always believed that His Majesty left the palace because of King Yan.
However, it is absolutely certain now that this has absolutely nothing to do with King Yan.
It is even more nonsense to talk about talents and beautiful women.
"Who on earth can make His Majesty change so much? This person is definitely an extraordinary person. He must have an extremely close relationship with Your Majesty, and even..."
Speaking of this, Huang Zicheng suddenly stopped.
Thinking of His Majesty's recent indifference towards His Majesty the Grand Sun, cold sweat broke out on his back.
Such a character, if he is a member of the royal family.
Then the identity of His Highness the grandson may change in vain.
No, even now, it has already had a great impact on the status of His Highness the Grand Sun.
"I want to find out who he is."
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Huang Zicheng and said, "Please help me, sir."
"Your Highness, you can't do this for fun."
Huang Zicheng was startled and quickly supported him.
However, Zhu Yunwen bowed his hands and refused to straighten up.
Seeing this, Huang Zicheng could only say: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave this matter to you."
After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was willing to straighten up and said, "I'll leave everything to you, sir."
Huang Zicheng nodded bitterly.
Of course he knew how difficult it was to inquire about His Majesty's whereabouts.
Difficulties should be put aside first. If Jin Yiwei discovers it, the consequences can be imagined.
Even now, the court is full of rumors about His Majesty's quick end of morning court every three days.
Even so, it was just a private discussion, even among the six ministers, or even among the first-rank royal relatives.
No one dared to inquire about His Majesty.
If one of them is not good, death will be the end of it, but the young and old of the clan will be the disaster.
Huang Zicheng originally thought that he was the companion of the East Palace, but now he is the confidant of the grandson, and he will definitely become an important minister of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
I didn't think of such a mistake.
Whether he can survive until the day His Highness the Grand Sun ascends the throne is anyone's guess.
.....
The palace of Prince Yan in the capital.
"My father must have slept at Zhu Ying's place last night." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Yao Guangxiao opposite him.
Yao Guangxiao nodded. He got the news about this matter last night.
As long-sleeved and good at dancing as he is, naturally he still has some skills.
As for Zhu Ying's residence, all you need to do is stay nearby and watch.
"It seems that Your Majesty is trusting Zhu Ying more and more. The poor monk also got the news yesterday that Xiping Hou passed away."
"Being in Xiping, your majesty, is no different than a parent and son, so I am heartbroken. It is indeed understandable to go to look for Zhu Ying." Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.
Zhu Di nodded. In fact, Zhu Di was very familiar with Mu Ying.
It's just that I grew up in a military camp and saw life and death, so I didn't feel much sadness.
Besides, his relationship with Mu Ying was neither good nor bad.
The main person who grew up with him was Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong.
Mu Ying has been following Zhu Biao and is valued by her father.
There was a time when Zhu Di was a little resentful towards his eldest brother Zhu Biao, and he also hated Mu Ying.
However, after experiencing many things, I finally became convinced of my elder brother.
But for Mu Ying, it was just so-so.
"I wonder how the excavation at Xiaoling is going." Zhu Di said with a frown.
Xiaoling was guarded by Xiaoling Guards, and the situation inside was isolated from the outside world. It was impossible to find out any details.
"Your Highness, just don't worry, nothing big will happen.
wrong. Yao Guangxiao said.
"No, this is not what I am worried about."
Zhu Di replied, then frowned and said, "Yesterday, my father suddenly sent an order to the Ministry of War, ordering Duke Lan Yu of Liang Kingdom to return to the capital."
When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously: "Is it possible..."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Yes, my father has completely trusted Zhu Ying before the tomb is excavated. My eldest nephew is Lan Yu's grandnephew."
"My father called Lan Yu back, and the purpose behind it can be imagined. If my father helps Zhu Ying like he helped his elder brother, I'm afraid..."
Before Zhu Di finished speaking, Yao Guangxiao completely understood.
These actions of His Majesty are obviously paving the way for Zhu Ying. Civil servants and generals will probably make arrangements for Zhu Ying step by step.
After a moment of silence, Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Zhu Ying's identity is very real when His Majesty is here. If His Majesty is no longer here."
"It's true and false, false and true, what does it matter?"
"If it's fake, it can become real, so if it's real, it can also become fake."
When Zhu Di heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he smiled and said: "What the master said is reasonable, whether it is true or false has nothing to do with it."
"Just disappearing for ten years and then resurrecting from the dead is enough."
Zhu Di suddenly felt enlightened.
Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, and he had no way to refute.
But if Zhu Ying succeeds to the throne, just relying on his death and resurrection will make his throne unstable.
