"In reply to Lord Long Live, His Highness King Wu got up before dawn!"
There were piles of memorials on the imperial case. Zhu Yuanzhang buried his head in the vast memorials, while reading the memorials and listening to the reports from the palace officials.
He is the emperor above all others. There are no secrets about the Ming Dynasty's palace and city, only he wants to know.
"You got up before dawn?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial's hand and asked, "Why did he get up so early?"
The palace attendant who responded said, "At that time, Wang Shai asked King Wu why His Highness got up so early. King Wu said that the ancients heard the chicken dance. As the direct grandson of the emperor, he did not dare to indulge in fatigue!"
"Haha! Brat!" Zhu Yuanzhang showed a loving smile on his face, and then he became a little proud, "When you hear the chicken and dance, this self-discipline will follow you!"
The palace man continued, "After His Majesty the King of Wu got up, he first washed himself with cold water." After that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and continued, "His Royal Highness said that washing with cold water makes you energetic. When His Majesty was on the war, there was no hot water.
Are towels available? It’s cold in the winter and twelfth lunar month!”
"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again, "When we were fighting, we didn't have time to wash our faces!"
The palace man lowered his head and smiled, and continued, "Then King Wu began to practice martial arts in the courtyard. I can't say what kind of martial arts he practiced, but I heard that it was a way to strengthen his bones and muscles. After practicing for almost half an hour, he was beaten again.
One punch!"
"What boxing technique?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked as he looked at the memorial.
"My slave deserves to die. I can't tell you what kind of boxing King Wu practiced. But I look at him with murderous intent!"
Remember https://m in one second.
"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again, "You, a eunuch from a deep palace, know what murderous aura is?"
"After practicing, King Wu drank a bowl of millet porridge and ate three steamed buns with vegetarian fillings..."
"Vegetarian?" Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial and looked up, "Why do you eat in the imperial kitchen? It's so bold to give vegetarian buns to the emperor's grandson!"
"Your Majesty!" The palace servant knelt down and kowtowed, "His Royal Highness King Wu has ten kinds of breakfast in total. A few servants dared to neglect it. It was His Highness who said that now that he is in filial piety, he cannot eat meat and must give it to the prince...
"As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and continued in a low voice, "The King of Wu said that although the prince cannot observe mourning for three years, he can still be a vegetarian instead..."
"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial directly on the imperial desk and stood up, "It's time for him to grow taller. He gets up early to practice martial arts to strengthen his muscles and bones. How can he do it without eating meat?" He gritted his teeth and cursed, "You bastard.
, this stubbornness is just like his father!"
Then he looked at the trembling palace man and said, "Go on!"
"Later, King Wu changed his robes and went to the university hall with a few guards instead of riding in a sedan chair."
"The King of Wu and several bachelors said that they had failed their grandfather's expectations, their years, and their teachers, and they would catch up in the future. They also gave the bachelors the gift of discipleship."
After saying that, the palace man paused and continued, "Several bachelors all praised King Wu!"
"What are you praising?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Praise King Wu for being humble and a wise king!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang knew the temperaments of these Hanlin bachelors and they were hard-headed scholars, so Zhu Yunxi was praised so much by them with just a few words?
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said, "Let's go to the university hall and have a look!"
"Come here, Your Majesty is out, hurry up and wait!"
Huang Gou'er, the chief eunuch, quickly called the palace attendants to come forward.
"Go aside!" Zhu Yuanzhang drove away impatiently, striding out with his guards behind his back, hands behind his back.
Sedan, Zhu Yuanzhang had never made anything like that in his life.
In his life, he has either been riding a horse or walking.
When I was young, I used my legs to travel around the great rivers and mountains and seek alms.
After adulthood, he mobilized his war horses to gallop in all directions and fight.
Sedan, that’s what women do!
Although his beard and hair are all white and he is more than ten years old, Zhu Yuanzhang is no slower than a young man.
After a while, we arrived at the university hall where the prince and grandson studied. As soon as we stepped in, we heard Zhu Yunxi's voice coming from inside.
Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger!
Zhu Yunxi looked at Qitai who was a little surprised by his performance and continued.
"The fall of the Yuan Dynasty was due to harsh government and excessive taxation. Ignorance of the sufferings of the people and no regard for the life and death of the people. When my Zhu family settled in Huaixi, there was no harvest due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. However, instead of relieving the victims, the government continued to increase taxes, which ultimately led to the deprivation of the people's livelihood and the rise of thieves.
!”
"In the face of all kinds of rebels, the imperial court not only refused to appease or show mercy, but instead massacred one place after another, one city after another. Such tyranny chilled the people of the world, how could they not resist!"
"As for what Mr. Qi said about not cultivating virtues, it is also one aspect. The Yuan Dynasty suppressed the Han people and was on guard against the Han people. The Han people in the original Jin Kingdom were northerners, and the Han people in the Song Dynasty were southerners. Whether it was imperial examinations or official positions, southerners
It’s all getting harder and harder.”
"The scholars have no way to rise, and the Han people have been discriminated against for a long time. The government is extremely corrupt, and the officials do not care about the life and death of the people. They only care about luxury and enjoyment, and raising taxes. The land is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the people often become refugees.
.”
"These refugees gathered under various rebel armies and became inexhaustible soldiers. The local powerful and the imperial court were at odds with each other, which eventually led to the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty!"
"A country must have a way forward for the people at the bottom, maintain social stability so that the people have food to eat, carry out infrastructure construction, control floods and actively cultivate farmland. A country must have an inclusive mind, and the emperor once said
, both Mongolian, Han, Miao and Li are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty and must be treated equally..."
Zhu Yunxi talked eloquently, and the people around him became more and more frightened as they listened.
How could these Hanlin scholars not understand the truth behind the demise of the Yuan Dynasty? When it comes to tracing the root cause of the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, they can say it better than Zhu Yunxi.
However, Zhu Yunxi's views and vision surpassed theirs, and there were many aspects that they had not thought of. Moreover, they considered it from the perspective of ministers. What Zhu Yunxi said at this time seemed to be from the perspective of a king.
Think about Zhu Yunxi in the past, and then look at Zhu Yunxi now.
The Hanlin scholars were amazed. Xiaoru outside the window nodded repeatedly, looking at Zhu Yunxi with admiration in his eyes.
Privy Councilor Liu Sanwu was stroking his long beard in deep thought and at the same time secretly admired him.
I am afraid that those ministers may not be able to say what King Wu said in a hurry.
He has unique insights, long-term vision, and careful thinking. He has clearly seen the problems of the Yuan Dynasty and the problems among the people, and summarized the bad policies of the Yuan Dynasty.
For the children of the royal family, knowledge is only one aspect, but the ability and vision to govern the country are the most important.
Listening, Liu Sanwu couldn't help but think of Zhu Yuanzhang's words again.
"Xie'er, my horse is a thousand miles away!"
Just listening to his views on the demise of the Yuan Dynasty is not as simple as Qianliju.
Suddenly, Liu Sanwu thought of the emperor's views on the crown prince.
The way he looked at Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed.
Could it be that the emperor meant that the emperor’s grandson should establish himself as the king of Wu?
Thinking about him, he looked at the front row, where Zhu Yunwen, with a pensive look on his face, fell into deep thought.
For a while, he didn't even notice that the emperor came to his side.
Hearing the footsteps, as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face smiling so hard that his teeth could not be seen.
"You brat, what you think and say is good, and it all goes to our hearts!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that as the emperor who was born into the poorest family, he and Zhu Yunxi had the same view.
What virtues, etiquette, etiquette are all nonsense.
When a country cannot keep its people well-fed, regardless of their life or death, the people will definitely rebel.
"You!" Zhu Yuanzhang whispered in Liu Sanwu's ear, "Test him!"
