Zhu Youkai, Han nationality, is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and is waiting to take up his post.
At this time, he had some minor troubles. From the age of twelve, Zhu Youkai began to leave the capital accompanied by Zhu Ji, the then commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Since we are going out, of course we won’t go to some frivolous place.
The places I went to were all remote mountain villages, where the people's lives were still poor and even destitute.
Every time he goes, it will bring a big impact to his soul.
He lived in Kyoto, the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty, and lived in the East Palace. Before going out, he could not imagine the life of ordinary people.
At this time, in the land of Ming Dynasty, the clothes are worn, the land is barren and the people are poor. They are waiting to help the poor and live on the sky.
The prosperous Jiangnan, the glorious imperial capital, and the increasingly powerful empire have little to do with these people.
They cannot enjoy the intoxicating life and dreams of the prosperous Jiangnan, and few people see the glorious imperial capital. The power of the Ming Dynasty will not be gifted in a short time.
The more Zhu Youkai watched, the more he felt his father's difficulties, and he became even more uneasy about his future path to becoming emperor.
He was even a little afraid of the future.
Of course, he has to keep walking with his own anxiety and fear.
Outside the East Palace Gate.
Zhu Youkai was sitting on the Taishi chair, reading a book of poems in his hand.
This collection of poems belongs to no one else, but to his father's teacher, Yu Qian.
Yu Qian, this name has been heard often by Zhu Youkai since he was a child, whether it was in the Palace of Qianqing, when the old ministers were scolding each other, or from his teacher, Han Yong, when he was teaching, or from his father's mouth heard.
Although Zhu Youkai had never met Yu Qian, when he was very young, he was eager to understand Yu Qian. From other people's mouths and poems, he could learn about this most legendary figure of the previous generation in the Ming Dynasty.
While Zhu Youkai was reading poems, a rather thin young man wearing a sixth-grade green robe came over under the leadership of the eunuch.
After arriving not far from the Crown Prince, the young man saluted: "Your Majesty, Xu Shixian, bows to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness is a thousand years old..."
This handsome and spiritual young man is Xu Youzhen's "youngest son" Xu Shixian.
"Have you finished the tasks assigned to you?"
"Your Highness, I have personally delivered His Highness's letter to His Highness Prince Jing. However, His Highness Prince Jing did not reply... When I was in Seoul, I also urged you several times to pay, but Your Highness Prince Jing still did not give it to me. letter……"
Xu Shixian took leave a few days ago to take his mother and aunt back to Seoul, North Korea to visit relatives. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Youkai asked Xu Shixian to visit his brother and write a handwritten letter.
How could Zhu Youhua, whose heart became filled with hatred as he grew older, reply to a letter from his younger brother who had taken away his position?
"I know this, it's something that is expected..." Zhu Youkai said, stood up, and then handed the poem in his hand to Xu Shixian.
Xu Shixian immediately took two steps forward and connected with his hands.
"You, read Yu Wenzheng's poems carefully and learn great wisdom. Your father cannot teach you this."
After hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Xu Shixian was a little embarrassed. This was because he was thinking about his father, who did not have great wisdom.
Although Xu Youzhen is Zhu Jianshen's Bai Yueguang, she is not Zhu Youkai's Bai Yueguang. In the previous battles, her teacher Han Yong was defeated by Xu Youzhen several times, which made Zhu Youkai, a student, very dissatisfied.
Xu Shixian was placed in the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace. To put it bluntly, he also acted as a buffer between the chief minister of the cabinet and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
A few days ago, his teacher was once again put on the stage by the old fox Xu Youzhen, and Zhu Youkai was still angry at this time, so he taunted him. Of course, this taunt was meant for Xu Youzhen, and Xu Shixian was the microphone.
Xu Shixian was very smart and immediately answered: "Yes, Your Highness, I must study hard... and I will also let my father read Yu Wenzheng's poems and let him learn this great wisdom. To be honest, I will , I also feel that my father has some tricks that cannot be brought to the fore, so His Highness specifically said it at this time, so I can use it as an excuse..."
Zhu Youkai smiled and waved his hand: "You are seventy years old. Don't embarrass Mr. Ge. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Even Mr. Ge may not bother to learn Yu Wenzheng's great wisdom."
"This, live and learn until you are old. My father has always been diligent and studious. I will tell your Highness your words privately, and no third person will know."
After hearing Xu Shixian's words, Zhu Youkai nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked towards the palace. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Aren't you coming in?"
After Xu Shixian heard this, the nervous expression on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a relaxed look, and he quickly followed...
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was heading towards a path that had never appeared in history...
It is not difficult to see this from the education of the crown prince.
In the past dynasties, if the crown prince left the palace or the capital, it would attract many ambitious people to take risky actions, and the emperor himself would not let his heir leave for several months at a time, but Zhu Jianshen's Age, as well as the control of imperial power and state machinery, can make the crown prince leave the capital at will for several months.
The reason for such education is that he does not want Zhu Youkai to live in the clouds since he was a child. He needs to see the living conditions of ordinary people and develop a political philosophy of serving the people wholeheartedly. At this time, Zhu Jianshen is still satisfied with Zhu Youkai's performance. .
Of course, things that go against your wishes are the main theme of life...
Even the emperor can't have everything go his way...
The better Zhu Youkai performs, the more sad Zhu Jianshen will be in the near future.
Xu Youzhen was a long-lived person. Like Li Xian, he died in the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
In the forty-fourth year of Chenghua, Xu Youzhen died of illness in the Xu Mansion in Beijing. He lived for a full eighty-one years. The day before his death, he was still handling government affairs in the cabinet duty room. The next day, the four people in the greenhouse A girl was the first to discover Xu Youzhen who was already cold...
Xu Youzhen has been the chief assistant for more than 20 years. He was the chief assistant with the longest tenure during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty and the best relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
When Zhu Jianshen in the palace learned the news, he was extremely sad and ordered to stay away from court for six days. He also ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the funeral and gave him the posthumous title Wen Gong.
Although Xu Youzhen has been in the imperial court for more than thirty years and has been at the top for more than twenty years, his posthumous title cannot be compared with that of Yu Qian who saved the crisis.
Xu Youzhen received mixed reviews from both the court and the people. Even if Zhu Jianshen forcibly gave Wenda and Wenzhong a posthumous title, he could not stop everyone from talking about it. He could only give him a posthumous title that was considered superior. …
Xu Youzhen died of illness at the beginning of the 44th year of Chenghua. Han Yong also died of illness two months after he became the chief minister of the cabinet. He only served as chief minister for two months. Then, Peng Shi took over and died of illness a month later...
This year, three chief ministers of the Ming Dynasty died...
And this year, the total population of Han people in the New World has exceeded 300,000... Merchant ships appeared in any corner of the world, and gradually discovered the most profitable goods and sold them to Western Europe and other places... ...It was also this year that Kyushu Island officially changed its name. Kyushu Prefecture, under the rule of North Korea, completely became the land of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese aborigines living on Kyushu Island already accounted for less than one-tenth of the total population...
