Chapter 141: Founding of the People's Republic of China (2)

Do you think being the emperor is a light thing?

In winter, the blue and clear sky is blue. In the snow-appreciating building of the Imperial Garden where plum blossoms are blooming, there is dinner for the father and the two of them. While eating, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxiu who was unconsciously shaking his arms, full of teasing smiles.

After a day of reviewing the memorials like a mountain, I had to discuss national affairs with my ministers while reviewing them, and I was exhausted.

The old man picked up a chopstick of yellow scrambled eggs for Zhu Yunyu and continued, either we must let someone look at you, you are good at everything, but you are too quick to sit still, and you can't calm down. If you give you a little, you will break the number!

As the emperor, you have to make the decision for the people of the world and be the leader of the world. If you are lazy alone, you will delay the entire Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yunxi nodded quietly and ate the meal in big mouthfuls.

But then again, the old man seemed to have a poor appetite. He stopped eating after taking a few bites. He said, being the emperor is the easiest thing in the world. If you eat and drink, sit there. The wind cannot blow the sun, and the cold cannot be hot.

It’s just talking and writing, and using your brain. If you don’t understand anything, there are some ministers who will help you check for the gaps. If you are upset, you can scold people. If you are angry, you can hit people.

He is so angry that he can still kill people!

In the world, let alone ordinary people, who has the power to be the kings, princes, generals and ministers?

Zhu Yunxi knew that this was the old man's joke, but behind power was responsibility. In history, how many monarchs could enjoy power and fulfill their responsibilities?

The emperor also has a responsibility. In the traditional Confucian view, being an emperor is not for pleasure.

Throughout history, so many foolish monarchs may not be really stupid. They are all taught by famous teachers and great scholars. How could people like sperm not know the benefits of diligence to the empire?

However, everyone was defeated by the word "disgusting".

The matter of diligence cannot be done without a king with great wisdom and perseverance. This is why most emperors who have been in power for a long time in history have been commentary on the wise before they are faint.

It’s like an old man who wrote limericks back then, and he joked that he was so tired that he was half tired.

I got up before all the officials got up, but all the officials got asleep. I was not as good as a wealthy man from Jiangnan. He still hugged the quilt at midnight!

In plain words, I get up earlier than chickens and dry more than old oxen.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, put down his chopsticks, looked at the old man, Grandpa, grandson, knowing your hard work, and even more about your expectations for your grandson! As he said that, he paused slightly, and continued to speak, but manpower is sometimes poor!

You have been in the throne for nearly thirty years, working hard day after day, loving the people. No matter how big or small you are, you know it in your heart.

Diligence is a virtue, but when you sit there, you will always be bored! Besides, people also have time to be energetic! If the emperor is sick, will no one deal with the major issues in the world?

Besides, my grandson says something you don’t like to hear. Later generations may not be so diligent. If the family is unlucky and there are really a few prodigal sons who are not diligent, our Ming Dynasty will be...

What exactly do you want to say? The old man held a cup of hot tea and asked with a smile, don’t beat around the bush, say!

Zhu Yunxi said seriously that his grandson has also been inspired recently. There are too many things in the world, and many of them are not required to be experienced and done by themselves. Otherwise, the emperor would not have a good result if he was exhausted. It would be better to select talents from the ministers and praise government affairs while also being able to handle small government affairs in some places!

In fact, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the best monarchs were exhausted.

Not to mention the distance, the old crown prince Zhu Biao was talking about the government affairs since he was in his teens. In Zhu Yunyu's memory, Zhu Biao was reading the memorials all the time, and often had not rested in the middle of the night. Before dawn, he crawled up and got up again.

Think about it again in history, Zhu Gaochi, who won the title of Renzong in the Ming Dynasty, was exhausted. He had been the crown prince for many years and became the steward of the Ming Dynasty for many years. His father Zhu Di was the manager of everything, and he was thinking all day long about how to completely eliminate all the Hu people.

Later, the emperor was so tired that he established a cabinet. Later, the Zhu family might have been born to conflict with civil officials, and when the eunuchs were in charge of ancestral teachings, they also brought the eunuchs in.

Later, the Qing Dynasty learned from the Ming Dynasty and established the Military Affairs Office.

These two systems of closeness illustrate one problem at the root. The matters in the world cannot be handled by the emperor alone, nor can the emperor himself be able to do it. The emperor takes charge of the overall and refined division of labor, but from another perspective, it is more efficient.

The old man pondered for a while and grinned, you are nonsense!

As he said that, he curled his lips and said, "We know what you mean, you kid just want to be lazy." But let's ask you, whose world is this?"

Let’s give you an example. If the rich man in the countryside doesn’t know how much land and how many animals there are at home, he will definitely be fooled by the manager when collecting rent. Do you believe it?

Our family is the master of our family! If you ask those officials to help you do something irrelevant today, you will give them greater power tomorrow.

When they have power, they will deceive you! Let me tell you that all the officials in the world want the emperor to ignore the government and hide in the palace every day to have children. They will make the decision on everything!

Power! The old man suddenly emphasized his tone, and he could not distinguish himself from others, especially officials and ministers. If he gave them power, he would have to compromise with them in the future. It is easy to release power, but difficult to take it back!

Even if you just give them some little power at the beginning, what about your children and grandchildren? At that time, these people have no reputation but the power, and even the emperor cannot deal with it at will, and even take into account three points!

When officials have power, there will be party struggles and fights! At that time, you will have nothing to do as an emperor and you will just work hard to fight!

The old man's words also make some sense.

Think about the Jiajing who practiced alchemy in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history, and the Wanli who did not attend court. Although there was no major happening in the Ming Dynasty in those hundred years, and even used the martial arts of the Three Major Conquests.

But under their rule, the exhaustion of the treacherous ministers, the party and government, and the finances became the fuse for the later national destruction. And from another perspective, whether it was a thousand miles of Jiajing, their ignorance was also caused by the cabinet masters, and even a kind of struggle.

Especially Emperor Wanli, when he was a child, he was taught by Zhang Juzheng, and he was very knowledgeable in his study and had a great literary talent. He also wanted to be a good emperor. But when he grew up, he found that the actual controller of the empire was a group of old and civil servants led by his teacher.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was constantly compromising and concessions with the civil servant system represented by the cabinet elders.

If we ask you to supervise the country, we will let you seize power! The old man continued, "If you like the officials in the world, use them if you like them, and if you feel annoyed, send them away!"

In the future, you have to be a wise and benevolent monarch, but you must also make the officials afraid of you. You must let them know who is the master of the world!

We abolished the Secretariat and set up six ministries in the country, and directly obeyed the emperor. We set up vassal kings and guarded the border cities. The nobles led the army, and their own civil servants looked at them. The Jinyiwei was the emperor's eyes and ears, so there was no need to be afraid of deception!

In this way, there are no treacherous ministers in the country, no relatives and women interfere in politics, and the inside and outside are one. Not to mention that the country has been around for thousands of years, it can withstand the trouble!

Yes, what the old man has set has indeed made the Ming Dynasty extremely stable.

Think about how many times the Ming Dynasty started with the Tumu Fort change, but it always stood firm because of this.

In his previous life, a book Zhu Yunyu once read said that if the ruling structure of the Ming Dynasty was not subject to powerful foreign enemies, it would not have been able to break through the inside.

If there were no Jianzhou Jurchens in later generations, even if Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he would not win the hearts of the people when he acted against the enemy. He could not stop the counterattack of the Ming Dynasty.

But what Zhu Yunxiu wanted was not like this, the Ming Dynasty, which would slowly age like an old man.

If he is, a Ming Dynasty who will always stand on the top of the world, protect the people of China, and escape hundreds of years of catastrophe.

He did not want future generations to sigh at the greatness of his ancestors and ancestors. What he wanted was that his descendants would enjoy the glory of China forever!

Remember! The old man said again, seize power! Take it in your own hands! You must never do it, and do it with the scholars and officials to rule the world. This is your world, you must make the decision!

No one in the world can rely on you, you can only rely on yourself! If we had only rely on others, we would not have been today!

Dasun, besides jumping, there is another thing you have to do. That is, your heart is not cruel enough!
