Zhu Yu also laughed along with him. Seeing his father praising his younger brother, he felt that his choice was right.
"Yes, I have already said that my sixth brother is more suitable than me."
If it had been in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would have gone crazy when he heard this.
But at this moment, he surprisingly did not refute.
He looked at his son and realized that he actually knew everything that happened in the palace.
Compared to when he left the capital, Zhu Yu became more haggard, "All those people were caught in one fell swoop?"
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, but then he thought about it, too, what else could be hidden from his father in this palace?
"Well, I've done everything I can," Zhu Yu said.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "When a woman dies, she dies. The palace is also clean, and Lu Ben should be dealt with as well."
Zhu Yu nodded. Although it had been so many days, he still thought of it often.
Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic and said: "This time we went out and saw the true appearance of Daye. Some places are very prosperous, even more prosperous than what we saw before.
Some poor places have also become better.
But those places are not getting better under our leadership.
Lao Liu's method is very good, and it really makes the people in the countryside get better.
We feel that only when these farmers and these poor people become rich and their lives improve, will our great cause become stronger in a real sense. "
"My son also feels the same way. Lao Liu's policy of governing the country is the real solution to the root causes of the people's problems.
Over the past few days, Erchen has been filled with joy as he looked at the memorials handed over by his subordinates. " Zhu Yu said: "Father, if I were to take the lead in this matter, it would definitely not be as good as the one led by Lao Liu. After all, there is still some resistance in the place.
It takes someone to govern with an iron fist.
Therefore, I begged my father to let Lao Liu come up.
Erchen is really tired and just wants to spend time with his wife and children.
I know that my father attaches great importance to the order of eldest son, but my sons and ministers believe that a king should be a wise and capable citizen and be virtuous.
Even if my father maintains his orthodoxy today, what will happen in the future?
As long as there are many brothers in the family, sooner or later there will be a fight for the legitimate heir. This has been the case for thousands of years.
Our Zhu family cannot avoid it.
Instead of doing this, it is better to do the opposite. "
The royal family is different from ordinary people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a concubine is a piece of goods. When a distinguished guest comes to the door, the concubine needs to be taken care of.
A wife's children are 90% his own, but for a concubine, that's not necessarily the case.
This is why concubines have a very low status in Daye.
Of course, the royal family is extremely strict. The emperor will keep strict records every time who has been blessed, and then calculate the date, so there will be no mistakes.
If the times don't match up, then the concubine and the child will most likely not survive.
These are all digressions. Zhu Yu just wants to tell Zhu Yuanzhang not to be stubborn and conservative. For the sake of the country and the country, a younger, stronger, more virtuous and capable person should be allowed to be the prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang still said nothing, but this time, his expression became particularly complicated.
Zhu Yu continued: "I rarely ask my father for anything, but this time, I hope my father can agree to it.
This is done voluntarily. "
"If I agree to you, how do you want us to face our eldest grandson in the future?" Zhu Yuanzhang loves Zhu Yingxiong very much. It can be said that he completely trains him as his successor. "We believe that our eldest grandson can be qualified for this position." , Lao Liu is not the kind of ambitious person, if you let him help, you will definitely be able to make a good story!"
"But my father, it is a great fault for a hero to have no merit." Zhu Yu said: "My son, I hope that he can be carefree in this life."
Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought, and he naturally understood Zhu Yu's concerns.
In the beginning, he could still lie to himself, but now, there was a problem with his previous strategy.
If the prince is strong, the vassal king will be weak.
If the prince is weak, the vassal king will be strong.
He couldn't help but think of what Zhu Jun said about cutting down the vassals. Zhu Jun also said that in this situation, it would be best to cut down the vassals after the world is unified.
At that time, he will be the first to jump out and respond to the court.
But now, it is far from the time to cut down the feudal clan.
At first when he heard this, he was angry and felt that Zhu Jun didn't understand him at all.
In the country he envisioned, the emperor would sit in the capital, and the vassal kings from all over the country would always guard the borders and defend the capital.
Now, that thinking appears to be weighing down the country.
Zhu Jun also analyzed that in the future, as the population of the royal family increases, it will greatly drag down the court and eventually become the main culprit of the collapse of the dynasty.
Moreover, the royal family does not need to produce in the world, not only salary, but also land. When the time comes, most of the world will flow into the hands of the royal family.
At that time, the government forces the people to rebel, and the world will truly be in chaos.
At that time, the Zhu family was no different from Meng Yuan.
On the way back, Zhu Yuanzhang kept thinking about this matter. Although he said that Zhu Jun was alarmist, he kept beating the drum in his heart.
He wondered, could his great cause really be dragged down by his descendants in the future, as Zhu Jun said?
Until a few days ago, he had a nightmare.
I dreamed of the great cause of unifying the Central Plains, and the people did live a good life, but after that, some confused emperors appeared, and the country finally collapsed.
At that time, the weather was freezing and food production was reduced.
Millions of royal families plundered the people's wealth and anointed people, and their reputation was worthless. Although the last generation of emperors had great ambitions and wanted to revive the great cause, they were ultimately unable to defeat the destiny.
In the end, external and internal troubles and various conflicts came together. The last emperor actually hanged himself on a crooked-neck tree in the back hill of the capital.
After his death, only one eunuch collected his body.
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up with a start and was so frightened that he could not fall asleep for a long time.
He asked Liu Ji, who knew physiognomy and explained to him that he had thoughts during the day and dreams at night, and dreams could reflect people's inner fears.
But after that, Zhu Yuanzhang had similar dreams every day, which made him feel that this must be God reminding him to prepare for a rainy day.
So after returning to Beijing this time, when he heard Zhu Yu said to give way to Zhu Jun, he was not in a hurry to refute.
Zhu Yu's words, "No effort is just passing" is very heartbreaking. He is now thirty-three years old. Who knows how long he can live?
When he is alive, he can naturally suppress these people, but what if he is gone?
These people have great achievements, can they listen to his grandson?
If Zhu Yu is here, there is no need to worry.
But now, Zhu Yu's health is indeed getting worse. This is an indisputable fact.
If he still has illusions, then one day he will be helpless.
He looked at his son and saw struggle and pain in his eyes, which deeply hurt his heart!
