When, as an emperor, you are not burdened with government affairs every day and have a lot of free time, your thoughts will become clearer.
Before, Zhu Yuanzhang just dealt with government affairs every day, which already occupied all his time, and he had endless things to do every day.
In such a state, it is impossible to think of anything else.
As for Lao Zhu, it goes without saying that he is a workaholic.
It's much more comfortable now.
I took care of my great-grandson every day, and after attending the morning court, the government affairs were basically solved by almost noon.
By the afternoon, I was basically in leisure mode.
"We're really not used to this."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any other hobbies in Xuanwu Lake. Fishing was a great pleasure.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get much rest because of government affairs before. Now that he has free time, he naturally wants to develop his hobbies.
Things like fishing are the most addictive.
Especially the thrill of catching a big fish is simply an incomparable spiritual enjoyment.
After reminiscing with Tang He last time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there seemed to be nothing to do to kill time.
Many old brothers were sent down by him, so he felt a little lonely.
Then I remembered the fun I had.
"Your Majesty, it's moving, it's moving!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was half lying on the chair. Liu He next to him had been staring closely at the buoy on the water. When he saw a noise, he immediately shouted excitedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a little lazy, immediately stood up and grabbed the fishing rod.
"Good guy, he's a big fish and he's very powerful. We can't fight him forcefully. We have to take a walk first to make him tired."
Zhu Yuanzhang is a veteran. Although he has not fished for many years before, as soon as he started fishing, all the familiarity with fishing was activated in his body.
For a big fish like this, you can't pull it up directly. Either the line will be broken directly, or the hook will be detached and run away.
The experienced Zhu Yuanzhang held the fishing rod firmly and started walking fish in the lake.
The fish was biting the hook and swinging hard to get free, but Zhu Yuanzhang took him away and ran away.
It can be seen that all the eunuchs nearby were very anxious, fearing that the fish would run away with a flick of its tail.
It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.
I want to shout twice.
But this is Your Majesty, can you urge me?
He could only wait quietly without making any sound, for fear of affecting His Majesty's operation, and even more worried that His Majesty would blame him.
One characteristic of people is that when they are doing something, they are influenced by others around them, even if the influence is very subtle, it actually has little to do with what they are doing.
But once it fails, you will subconsciously blame others.
This is human nature.
When eunuchs live in the palace, they are most concerned about details like this, for fear that one day they will experience something like this.
Therefore, when it is time to shut up, you must shut your mouth firmly.
He was so careless and thoughtless that the grass on his grave was already three feet high.
"Here, Liu He, prepare the fish basket, let's watch us catch this big fish."….
Feeling that the strength was slowing down, Zhu Yuanzhang understood that the fish had no strength and was struggling, so he immediately began to retract the rod and pull back.
With the continuous pulling, waves appeared on the water, and the fish was being dragged not far from the shore by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The fish tail was exposed and rolling on the water, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
"This is at least ten kilograms. We are really lucky today." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a wide smile.
Upon seeing this, Liu He quickly took the fish basket to the shore and put the big fish in it.
The whole body of the fish was also exposed. It weighed at least twenty or thirty kilograms. It could be said to be a real big fish.
However, at this moment, Liu He misjudged the strength of the fish. This wild fish was so powerful that it jumped directly into the basket.
If one of them failed to stabilize, the fish would run out of the basket.
He fell into the water with a plop.
Liu He only paused for a moment, then immediately shouted to the eunuchs beside him: "Why are you still standing there, catch fish quickly!"
After saying that, he took the lead and jumped down to catch the fish.
There were several splashes of water, and the three or four eunuchs who knew the water next to them jumped in without any hesitation, without even taking off their clothes.
It's just that this fish finally entered the water again, so how could it be caught so easily.
The moment he entered the water, he swam vigorously towards the distance.
In just a few breaths, not even the shadow of the fish could be seen.
"Come up, if you run away, you'll run away."
Liu He and the eunuchs were thinking about atonement for their sins and wanted to catch the fish, but the distance was getting deeper. There was such a big lake and underground rivers, so there was no way to catch it. You can catch it.
The fish was frightened and would not stay around.
Let alone a day, even if it takes ten days and a half, you may not be able to catch it.
But His Majesty didn't say anything. How could Liu He dare to go ashore without permission?
When Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, Liu He in the water breathed a sigh of relief and climbed up.
Liu He, who was all wet, kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as he came ashore: "It was my fault that the fish escaped. Please punish me."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu He's embarrassed look and said with a smile: "It's just a fish. We have never eaten any big fish in all these years."
[In view of the general environment, "It is expected that this fish has not reached its life span today. You are also very old, and your physical strength is not as good as before. This is actually normal."
"Okay, stop kneeling, get up and change clothes. That's about the same. It's time for us to go back."
Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of venting his anger on Liu He, an old eunuch who had been with him for many years and had never made any mistakes.
For anglers, fishing is not about eating fish at all, but more about enjoying the fishing process.
When fishing, my mind can think about many things more clearly.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, this small fish is like a small country, and the big fish is like a big country.
Ordinary small fish can be caught with just a handful as long as the hand is strong enough, the fishing rod is hard enough, and the fishing line is tough enough.
The big fish is different. ….
Pay attention to methods, strategies, and even means.
Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers in the end.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the big fish just now was just like Bei Yuan, who took the bait many times but never really caught it.
Want to completely catch your hand.
There can be no rush.
When he was anxious, he was just like Liu He just now, and he suddenly took his hands off.
Pay attention to every step, and there should be no problems in any link.
Only in this way can the fish be truly caught and feasted.
Although Zhu Ying is currently in charge of matters related to the grassland, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot completely ignore it.
The grasslands are a serious concern and cannot be overemphasized.
Now Da Sun is targeting every plan and strategy on the grassland. So far, there is no problem.
So Zhu Yuanzhang always let go and never intervened.
He knew very well that the huge grassland could not be completed in a few or ten years.
Even if Meng Yuan was defeated again and again, defeated again and again, it ended up in the current situation of Bei Yuan.
Even if he is the current Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Elbek does not look like a wise monarch, but rather a bit fatuous.
But the threat from Beiyuan is still extremely huge.
Dasun wants to completely solve the hidden dangers of the grassland.
Even if the current Ming Dynasty is not afraid, but
As for future generations.
Not every king can be as talented as himself and his great grandson.
On the other side of the grassland, we won’t say that every generation is a idiot.
One day in the future, the unworthy descendants of the Ming Dynasty will become mediocre, and the grassland will rise.
Now the offensive and defensive momentum is different.
So what if there are two million soldiers.
When one million Meng Yuan troops went to attack Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shicheng couldn't bear it anymore, but he was disrupted by the Meng Yuan Emperor in the rear.
Zhu Yuanzhang is really worried that his descendants will be such idiots.
Such worries are not unreasonable. In relatively long dynasties in history, there will always be some stupid things like this.
This is the disadvantage of eldest son inheritance.
But in dynasty inheritance, only the direct eldest son system is the most stable.
As a long-standing historical lesson, there have been many battles over the establishment of virtuous people.
There is no specific concept of Xian. If the royal family fights within the royal family, the world will inevitably be turbulent and full of disputes. Brothers will close their walls, ministers will take sides, and parties will fight and cause chaos.
Even if the direct elder is a little stupid, there is no choice.
Since you can't decide what kind of people your descendants will be, you can only try to enlarge your territory as much as possible, store enough food, and strengthen your military strength during your lifetime.
In this way, even if a few disasters occur, it is impossible to bring all the disasters to Ming Dynasty at once.
When things get over, there will always be a few people who can manage the country well.
If we could cover the entire grassland.
Not only the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but also Oara further north, as well as the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde Khanate.
Even the entire Western Region was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
With single-handed teaching, there will be no difference between the steppe and the Ming Dynasty in the future, and there will be no difference between the Han people and the Mongolian Jurchens.
Everyone is wise.
That's it, you should be able to live a long life. ….
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had given up military power to Zhu Di, Lan Yu and others, but also wanted to expand the grassland.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid.
Because as long as the eldest grandson is here, it is impossible for Zhu Di, Lan Yu, and even the entire Huaixi nobles to change the world.
The current power of the Great Sun, even if he goes alone, is enough to rule the Ming Dynasty and continue the plan.
The eldest grandson, who is worthy of being twenty years old, is the strongest capital of Ming Dynasty today.
After returning to the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to meet Da Sun immediately.
Instead, in his study, he opened the map of Ming Dynasty and set his sights on Xi'an.
The capital is a very important place.
This is the place where the imperial power is strongest.
If you want to control the north, including the grasslands further north, the location of the capital is extremely critical.
Today's Nanjing is no longer suitable, both in terms of feng shui and the extension of power.
Although Fengyang spent a lot of money, it is still inappropriate from today's perspective.
At present, the place that Zhu Yuanzhang feels most good about is Xi'an.
At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Prince Zhu Biao to inspect Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, to plan the location of the new capital. Unfortunately, he died after returning.
Then there was no thought.
Now this thought has arisen again.
But there was still a hint of sadness on Zhu Yuanzhang's brow.
After all, it was because Prince Zhu Biao visited Shaanxi and died of illness when he returned. This was not a good sign.
Now, if he goes to inspect Xi'an again, Zhu Yuanzhang is really afraid that Dasun will have the same problem.
Thinking like this seems a bit unfounded and even a bit superstitious.
But this is also because Zhu Yuanzhang cherishes his great grandson.
I don’t want my grandson to bear the slightest risk.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang called Liu He, who had already changed his clothes, and ordered
He said, "Go to Qintian Prison and call Liu Rixin over. We have something to ask him."
Zhu Yuanzhang still quite approves of Liu Rixin.
When he first said that he could be the emperor and that all the generals who followed him were generals, he thought it was funny, but later he discovered that this man was really capable.
When he went to fight against the Japanese country, Dasun asked him to follow him, and it turned out to be extremely smooth. Even if he encountered a hurricane, he was able to avoid it with his reminder and did not cause much damage.
The Japanese country, which wanted to benefit from it, could not take advantage of it.
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to ask Liu Rixin what he thought about such a big event as moving the capital.
Among the large group of people in Qin Tian Jian, Liu Rixin made Zhu Yuanzhang think he was the most reliable.
After hearing the explanation, Liu He quickly went to deliver His Majesty's oral instructions in person.
The Qintian Prison was not far from the Palace of Qianqing, so Liu He had the authority to ride in a carriage when delivering edicts.
Otherwise, if you run with both legs, it will take too long, not to mention the effort.
Not long after, after hearing the decree, Liu Rixin hurried over.
"Your Majesty, Liu Rixin, pays homage to your Majesty."
Liu Rixin bowed respectfully.
Now, as the Superintendent of Qin Tian Jian, he is considered to be a big official. Coupled with Zhu Ying's salary reform, not to mention how comfortable his life is.
I had been running around for many years, and I had passed most of the Ming Dynasty. Now my mind is relatively stable, and I feel very comfortable staying in Qintian Prison.
It can be regarded as enjoying his old age.
"Get up, we heard that you have been living a good life recently, and your granddaughter-in-law is also pregnant."
"He's going to have his great-grandson like us soon."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Because he was afraid of Liu Rixin at the beginning, he ordered him not to tell anyone's fortune, otherwise his life would be inevitable.
Even now that he has become the Superintendent of Qin Tian Jian, Zhu Yuanzhang learned from the eunuch that he had never told fortunes for others.
It can be considered relatively obedient.
Originally I wanted to take it with me when I left, but now it would be good to leave it to my eldest grandson.
Liu Rixin couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face when he said: "I am almost in my seventies now, and I probably don't have much left to live. I am extremely happy to be able to hug my great-grandson."
Liu Rixin is much older than Zhu Yuanzhang. He is now over seventy. In a few years, he will also be in the year of the Zang Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked with some curiosity: "You have told fortunes for so many years and told so many people, but have you ever made any mistakes?".
