Scholar emperor, scholarly court!
Do they care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?
Won't!
Absolutely not!
Zhu Di exhaled heavily!
Perhaps Zhu Di didn't know the answer before.
But now after listening to Su Yang's story, he has absolute confidence to tell this answer!
Why?
Because Zhu Yunwen trusted his scholarly court too much!
Zhu Yunwen, the scholar-emperor, was full of idealism in every word and deed.
It is true that his starting point may be good, and he is indeed considering the common people at the bottom and implementing various benevolent policies and good deeds!
However, these benevolent government and good deeds have not fallen on the common people at all, and the common people have not been able to get any benefits from these benevolent and benevolent deeds!
On the contrary, it was Zhu Yunwen's scholarly court, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other Jiangnan gentry who took advantage of Zhu Yunwen's benevolent governance and good deeds to seek personal gain from them, making a lot of money and making their mouths full of oil!
However, Zhu Yunwen didn't know anything about it, and he was still immersed in the flattery of the gentry and the gentry. He thought that he was really a holy king and a wise ruler, that he really created a peaceful and prosperous age, and that everything he did was... Yes!
How terrible!
A generation of emperors was so immersed in the beautiful dream weaved for him by civil servants and gentry, without knowing it!
Zhu Di's face was gloomy and uncertain, and for the first time he felt the danger of the gentry and gentry head-on!
If he really succeeds in his rebellion and pulls Zhu Yunwen off the horse, Zhu Di will definitely give his nephew a few big mouths and ask him to open his eyes and take a good look at whether this world is the peaceful and prosperous age he imagined!
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, feeling for the first time the danger of fighting in the court.
Those gentry and gentry dared to deceive even the emperor and deceive the superiors and subordinates for personal gain. What else could they not dare to do?
It’s hard to imagine that those gentry were so courageous!
On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu curled his lips indifferently and even smiled.
Su Yang looks down on Zhu Yunwen, so he must be optimistic about his father Zhu Di!
However, Su Yang's next words made the smile freeze on his face.
"Xiaowan, do you know the difference between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen?"
What is the difference between the father and the new emperor?
The little girl shook her head and said nothing.
After all, one was her father and the other was the Ming Emperor, and it was hard for her to comment.
Su Yang naturally had no worries in this regard and spoke with a smile.
"Zhu Yunwen was born in a deep palace and grew up with the hands of a woman. Even though he was established as the emperor's grandson and was taught by the great ancestor himself, he never really went deep into the people to understand the sufferings of the people and the hardships of the people's lives! "
"It is doomed that Zhu Yunwen will never be able to love the people as his own children. The generosity and kindness he thinks he has are only for the gentry. His benevolent and benevolent deeds are also aimed at the corrupt opportunities of the gentry. The common people and the gentry There is a natural chasm between Zhu Yunxuan!"
"As for Zhu Yunwen's vision and knowledge, he is destined to only sit in the deep palace and deal with the gentry. He will never cross this chasm to truly understand what the people want. This also destined that he, Zhu Yunwen, will not be able to become a wise king."
"How can a Ming emperor, who doesn't even know how the people really live, have the right to claim to be 'benevolent and caring for the people'?"
The three people at the base of the wall nodded in agreement.
Especially Zhu Di couldn't wait to applaud. Su Yang's analysis of Zhu Yunwen could be said to have touched his heart.
Zhu Di has always looked down on that nerd Zhu Yunwen, a dandy scholar who is better than a woman. What qualifications do he have to dominate the world?
This was the first time that Zhu Di and Su Yang's opinions unexpectedly coincided.
"But Zhu Di, the King of Yan in Peiping, is different!"
"Thanks to the long-term vision of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Di and other Taizu's parents and children received strict education from an early age, which can be said to be both civil and military. What is even more commendable is that Taizu also ordered Qin Wang Zhu Fang, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, Yan King Zhu Di was about to leave for the fiefdom, so he sent Zhu Di and the two kings of Qin and Jin to Fengyang, the "central capital", to observe the place where their ancestors were founded, so that they could understand where the foundation of the Ming Dynasty came from."
"Since then, King Zhu Di of Yan has been sent to Fengyang three times to stay. While training troops and performing martial arts, he also has to fully understand the people's hardships and folk life. It can be said that he knows all the details of the folk. This is why Zhu Di is better than Zhu Yunwen. The advantages!"
"One has received a strict education since childhood and has gone deep into the people to understand the sufferings of the people. The other was born in a deep palace and grew up with women's hands. When comparing the two, their background and education will determine their future achievements. Zhu Yunwen is definitely better than But Zhu Di!"
"What's more, King Yan Zhu Di is naturally heroic. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a man of great talent and strategy. He is a good fighter and knows how to trust others. Compared to the scholar-emperor Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di is undoubtedly more suitable to sit on that dragon chair!"
"If Zhu Di succeeds in usurping the throne and sits on the dragon throne, the people's lives will definitely be better than during the Zhu Yunwen period!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Wanqiu's smile turned into a crescent moon.
The three people at the base of the wall were also very happy and smiled one after another.
Especially the person involved, Zhu Di, pretended to be calm and calm on the surface, but in his heart he was as sweet and comfortable as eating honey!
Su Yang, Su Yang, you are really a good guy, you have great vision!
Because you admire me so much, I won’t bother with you about those little things in the past!
He is indeed my king’s virtuous son-in-law. His vision and talent are far beyond those of his peers in the world!
Zhu Di was looking triumphantly, but Su Yang's next words poured cold water on him.
"But the problem is, couldn't Emperor Taizu Gao see the difference between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen?"
"In this case, why didn't he choose the talented Zhu Di back then, but instead chose the scholarly Zhu Yunwen?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhu Di's face turned livid instantly, and all the joy disappeared in an instant, turning into humiliation and helplessness!
Yes, Father, can you hear me?
Why do you insist on choosing Zhu Yunwen instead of me?
Zhu Di raised his head and stared at the night sky, questioning the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in his mind!
Obviously everyone knows that I, Zhu Di, am more outstanding and outstanding than Zhu Yunwen, and that I, Zhu Di, am more qualified to sit on that dragon throne than Zhu Yunwen. Why don't you choose me?
Zhu Di's caring little cotton-padded jacket, Zhu Wanqiu asked this question for him.
"Ms. sir, why is this?"
"Because of the heir apparent system!"
Su Yang uttered these words and his tone began to become deeper.
"Once the system of direct descendants is destroyed, it will be difficult to establish it again!"
But the little girl put forward a different opinion, or she could not be convinced by the "direct eldest son system" alone.
"But I remember that after Prince Yiwen died of illness and before the great ancestor named Zhu Yunwen as the grandson of the emperor, both King Jin and King Qin had also died of illness. So King Yan Zhu Di can actually be regarded as the eldest son!"
"Even if King Zhu Di of Yan is the eldest son of all the kings, the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, is the eldest grandson of the direct line. If he is established as a direct lineage, he will be the elder, not as a virtuous person, and if a son is established as noble, he will not be an elder!"
Su Yang smiled, "Even if Zhu Di is regarded as the eldest son, he cannot be regarded as a direct descendant, because there are still people in the lineage of Prince Yiwen and Zhu Biao alive. Unless all of that lineage is extinct, he, Zhu Di, can be regarded as a direct descendant. eldest son!"
"It's already late at night, Xiaowan. Let's stop here today. It's time to go to bed."
After saying this hastily, Su Yang stopped talking.
Zhu Di's face was pale and pale at the base of the wall, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
To set up a direct descendant is not to be virtuous, to set up a son to be noble but not to be long-term!
Father, Father, is this the reason why you didn’t choose me?
