To Zhu Di, Dao Yan's talent and learning were among the best in the world.
Since Monk Dao Yan said this, it certainly makes sense. Zhu Di also wanted to know, where did he go wrong?
Could it be that it is wrong to exclude dissidents from the court?
For thousands of years, isn't the struggle for power just a process of eliminating dissidents and supporting cronies?
Zhu Di stubbornly believed that he was not wrong. Anyone who was not loyal to him would be completely destroyed.
That is to say, the person in front of him was Dao Yan. If it had been anyone else, Zhu Di would have left in anger.
Dao Yan was not in a hurry, and there was not much fluctuation in the eyes of the triangle. He explained: "Although His Highness has been appointed as the prince, his thinking and actual actions are still the style of King Yan. His Highness has not realized that he has He is the crown prince of a country, but he still has ignorant and absurd ideas."
"What does the great monk mean by this? Zhao Mian, Liu Sanwu and others are not of the same mind as me. In that case, what's the harm in uprooting them? Is it possible that we still want to keep them to disgust ourselves?"
"Your Highness is wrong. You have never understood your status clearly. You are not a minister, but a prince, the future master of the Ming Dynasty."
Dao Yan spoke very clearly. He kept reminding Zhu Di and continued: "Excluding dissidents and supporting cronies is not what His Highness should do. Doesn't His Highness even understand this?"
These words were easy to understand. After Zhu Di thought for a moment, he quickly understood and said in surprise: "I was caught in the trap. After all, I was uneasy and lost my sense of proportion!"
Appreciation is a Buddhist term, which means being attached to external appearance, virtual appearance or individual consciousness and deviating from the essence.
Although Zhu Di is not a disciple of Buddhism, he often hangs out with Daoyan, and he does know some Buddhist language, and both of them can understand it now.
After Dao Yan's two words of enlightenment, Zhu Di was also keenly aware of his own mistakes. As the prince, he should not take the initiative to get involved in this matter.
If the Ming Dynasty was compared to a fish pond, then Zhu Di should have been a fish farmer sitting on the shore, not the fish king in the fish pond.
No matter how violent the fish in the fish pond are, he should just watch with a cold eye and only take action at the most critical moment.
Now that Zhu Di has entered the situation with his own body, it is equivalent to losing the calmness of a fish farmer and instead putting himself in a dangerous situation. This is why Dao Yanhui severely reprimanded him.
But it is impossible to get rid of this matter now. Father Jinkouyu has made it clear that he has full authority to handle the matter, which is equivalent to an imperial edict and there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
Zhu Di was very puzzled. It was understandable that he was obsessed with the appearance. Could it be that his father was also obsessed with the appearance? Leaving this matter to him seemed to be a trick for his own children.
He asked in a sullen voice: "Old monk, what do you mean by your father? Could it be that he didn't expect this?"
"Your Majesty is able to conquer the world in a commoner's body, expel the Mongolian Yuan, and restore China. His mind and wisdom are unmatched by anyone in the world today. Your Majesty must have thought clearly about these matters."
Dao Yan shook his head and said: "His Highness was too impatient, too obvious, and never put his position properly. His Majesty did this, on the one hand, to take care of His Highness's thoughts, so that His Highness would not think too much; on the other hand, His Majesty did this. On the one hand, it is also to train His Highness’ abilities. If I predict correctly, His Highness’s handling of this matter will have a great impact on the future.”
"My father's thoughts are so deep that I am far behind. Now that I have taken care of this matter, what should I do?"
After being warned by Dao Yan, Zhu Di completely put away his excitement and started thinking about how to get out of this incident.
There isn't much to say about Zhao Mian's case. It's nothing more than corruption, bribery, and selling out his position. Once it's proven, he can be executed directly.
If we don't dig deeper, the impact of this incident may not reach Yingtian, but as long as we dig deeper, it may affect the provinces surrounding Yingtian.
When the case becomes serious, there will be rumblings of wind and thunder, and the civil servants will certainly be trembling, fearing that the power of God will come.
As a prince, he will definitely be disliked by all the civil servants. Even if he cannot show it due to his father's prestige, he will still do things in a secretive way.
When Zhu Di thought about this, he felt cold sweat all over his body. This corruption case could actually involve so many people. If Dao Yan hadn't reminded him, he would still be immersed in the joy of investigating the case at this moment.
Seeing that Zhu Di had completely woken up, Dao Yan nodded secretly. The most important thing to him was Zhu Di. Please listen!
And after listening to the advice, he can still execute it vigorously and resolutely, and his decision-making ability and action ability are top-notch.
Although after Zhu Di became the prince, his dragon-slaying skills were no longer needed, Dao Yan still felt like he was arm wrestling with Zhu Yuanzhang.
He did not believe that His Majesty, who could conquer the world with his common clothes, could not see the secret behind it, so this could be regarded as a test paper that His Majesty left for Zhu Di.
As for how to answer, it depends on how Zhu Di will behave in his future actions.
Dao Yan could see the problem and obviously found a solution. He said: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. Things have just begun. Your Highness is not deeply involved in it. Although you can't escape, you can still do something." Don’t touch yourself.”
"Please teach me, the great monk!"
Zhu Di knew Dao Yan's ability. Since he said he had a solution, there must be no need to worry. Dao Yan would definitely arrange things properly and clearly.
"This matter is not difficult. Your Highness only needs to do one thing."
"Which point?"
"Delegate power!"
"Delegate power?"
Zhu Di clicked on these two words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and thoughts were tumbling in his mind.
He is intelligent and often quick-witted. Now his thoughts are fully mobilized, and he quickly understands the meaning of the two words "Dao Yan".
"You want me to leave this matter to the people below? But this matter has my name on it and is under my control. Even if the power is completely delegated, I will still need to handle it in the end."
Zhu Di felt very regretful now. He had somehow taken over this matter by accident, and now he was really being roasted on the fire.
If you don't do this well, or if you don't do it well enough, your father will be disgusted, and it will not be good for his position as prince.
But if you do it too well and dig out and kill all the people involved in the case one by one, it will certainly make your father happy, but you will be considered a villain from now on, and the future will not be easy.
Obviously, the problem of blocking the two ends is really troublesome, and the scale in between is extremely difficult to grasp.
If you really lose the hearts of civil servants all over the world, it will definitely be a loss that outweighs the gains, and this does not even count how much resistance you will encounter during the investigation.
Since the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, Confucian moral concepts have gradually changed and are no longer the style of ancient times.
There is a close relationship between civil servants. Not only civil servants from the same hometown can hang out together, but also civil servants who passed the exam in the same year have a close relationship.
Because of this, civil servants protect each other, which does not violate morality.
On the contrary, reporting and exposing was regarded as an act of betrayal by the civil servants. If a person really behaves like this, the civil servants will deliberately isolate him, not only to attack him in groups.
Zhu Di felt the grasp of the scale and suddenly felt a headache. No matter what he did, one party seemed to be dissatisfied.
He looked at Dao Yan eagerly, expecting the old monk to give him a way to get the best of both worlds.
