Chapter 74: If you want to go, go far

"Well...Tianjin Wei..." After hearing Zhu Youdong's words, Wanli twisted his beard and took the exam for a while, and then simply let the little eunuch next to him help him find a chair to sit down. After that, he kept using his fingers.

He knocked on the handrail and kept waving his other hand. The eunuchs and maids around him all retreated in amusement.

"Dong'er, although you still have a few months to turn six, in Grandpa's heart, you are much more reliable than that kid Chang Luo."

"Grandpa Huang, my father is a kind man, and he is much broader-minded than his grandson."

"Forget it, grandpa won't embarrass you anymore if you don't blame your father. In fact, grandpa has been thinking that if you want more space, Tianjin Wei is not a good place."

"Where does Grandpa Huang think it is suitable?"

"Nanjing! Yingtian Mansion!"

"Yingtian Mansion? Grandpa Huang, is this too far? Do you want to drive your grandson away from Beijing?"

"Otherwise, our Ming Dynasty has actually had the tradition of the crown prince guarding Nanjing since we became the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Although you are young, who in the Ming Dynasty would dare to treat you as a child now? If you go and sit in Nanjing, the civil servants will not be able to say anything against you.

You can also do things more smoothly.”

What Wan Li said is very important.

After Zhu Laosi raised troops from Peiping to quell Jingnan and seized the throne of Emperor Jianwen, he spent more time stationed in Peiping. As the prince, Zhu Gaochi had been supervising the country in Nanjing for a long time. After the construction of the new capital of Peking was completed, the Ming Empire officially moved its capital to Beijing.

Later, Nanjing still retained a complete set of central government teams - this team was not entirely for decoration. Among them, the Nanjing Ministry of War was the real power department in charge of all military affairs in the south. The Nanjing Ministry of Industry was also responsible for various projects in the southern provinces.

And provide various equipment for the southern army.

After Zhu Di died, Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne and sent his prince Zhu Zhanji to Nanjing to take charge. However, less than ten months had passed since Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne to his death, and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly returned to Beijing before he could reach Nanjing.

Since Zhu Zhanji's sons were still young at that time, he did not send the prince to continue to be in charge of Nanjing.

After Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qizhen himself was a prisoner for many years because of the Tumubao Incident. Naturally, his eldest son Zhu Jianshen could not go to Nanjing. And what happened after Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne? The emperor liked Aunt Wan, but Aunt Wan did not allow it.

The other concubines gave birth to sons for Zhu Jianshen, so Zhu Jianshen's eldest son, Zhu Youtang, did not come out of the palace to meet people until he was six years old. After that, he was under the threat of Aunt Wan for a long time. Not to mention going to Nanjing to take charge, even his life was in danger.

There is no guarantee. The next Zhu Houzhao was only fourteen years old when he ascended the throne, and he had no sons until his death. Then the later Zhu Houcong never established a prince in his later years. And the next Zhu Zaihe, when he died

Wanli is only ten years old...

Generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty had the ancestral system of Prince Zhen Nanjing. However, since Xuanzong, this system has not been implemented due to various reasons.

Therefore, when Wanli suddenly brought up the matter of Taisun guarding Nanjing, even Zhu Youdong, a time traveler, was surprised.

"Dong'er, that's what grandpa thinks." Taking a deep breath, Wanli stretched out a hand and gently put it on Zhu Youdong's shoulder: "First of all, grandpa has been the emperor for more than thirty years, which is considered a great achievement.

I understand. These civil servants of the Ming Dynasty actually want to make the emperor of the Zhu family a ceremonial decoration. Whether it is the emperor's monarchy or the military power of the warriors, they have been constantly eroding these years. In this kind of situation

Under the circumstances, it is really not easy for you to control Tianjin Wei. However, it is the ancestral system for the prince to guard Nanjing. When you go to Nanjing, the officials will have nothing to say.

Secondly, whether it is the emperor's grandfather, your father, the queen mother, or the far-sighted civil servants, they all see that today's Ming Dynasty is full of shortcomings, and the need for reform is actually urgent. But reform is so easy to change? The Northern Song Dynasty

The reform directly caused party strife, which lasted until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Prime Minister of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties broke away from the reform, which directly led to the collapse of the Mongolian and Yuan rule. As for Shang Yang, Wu Qi and others who were further away, people even talked about the reform and became pale. However, no

Change is not possible. It remains unchanged. Grandpa may not be able to see the day when Ming Dynasty will really fall into crisis, but your father cannot say for sure. If the country wants to change, the first thing it needs is money. And money, for my Ming Dynasty, the south

At least accounting for more than 70%. To seize the money, we must seize the south. In this regard, our royal family cannot send reliable personnel to Nanjing to take charge.

Thirdly, you are a good boy. You know how to say hello to the emperor first before doing anything. But after all, Beijing is the capital of the empire. There are too many civil servants from all walks of life, and there are too many forces from all sides... What you have to do

Things like producing flintlock muskets, improving gunpowder, and new types of armor... Although I have reported them all to my grandfather. But you will inevitably be timid when doing things, and you can't let go of your shoulders. When you go to the south, you

In Nanjing, you are the supreme, you can give it a try.

Fourth, my child, I don’t know if you have noticed. After you moved out from Ciqing Palace, your father has become more and more outrageous in terms of women. Of course, on the one hand, Chang Luo is naturally lustful. On the other hand, Chang Luo is naturally lustful.

Well, as a son, you are really too dazzling. As a father, he can never catch up with you. If you have been in Beijing for a long time, problems will inevitably arise in the relationship between father and son. Not to mention, my prince may really be deposed.

.

So, Grandpa has thought about it for a long time. If you really want more space to perform, you might as well go to Nanjing."

"...My grandson thanks grandpa for thinking about his grandson. There are indeed many benefits to going to Nanjing, but my grandson has doubts."

"you say."

"My grandson's work is indeed different from that of the princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty. In Beijing, everything can be reported directly to Grandpa Huang, and it is very convenient for Grandpa Huang to see it. If you go to Nanjing, you will be surrounded by thousands of mountains and rivers.

In the meantime, if there is a villain who really wants to alienate the relationship between grandson and grandson, even though Grandpa Huang trusts his grandson very much, he can't stand up to the public opinion and make money, and the accumulated wealth will be destroyed."

"This is indeed a problem. Throughout the dynasties, everyone has been suspicious of matters related to the throne. Fathers and sons can kill each other, and brothers can fight against each other. The emperor's grandfather is probably not immune to this." After a self-deprecating smile, Wanli said seriously: "But

Grandpa Huang knows that if Ming Dynasty wants to escape the cycle of chaos that occurs once every three hundred years, now is the best time. Grandpa is in Beijing, and you go to Nanjing to find a way to seize the money bag. Wait until twenty or thirty years later

, only when you succeed to the throne can you truly complete the reform! Grandpa is the emperor, so he is reluctant to give up this power. But grandpa is also a descendant of the Zhu family, and he is also responsible for the extension of the Ming Dynasty! If grandpa is a selfish ghost who only cares about himself,

Why bother to collect mineral taxes while carrying the reputation of the whole world? Why bother to go against the Manchu ministers and engage in national disputes? Do nothing, like Emperor Xiaozong who listened to the civil servants in everything. He gave up Hami Guard when he was told to give up, and gave up Qinghai when he was told.

Qinghai, and then receive a lot of praise after death, wouldn't that be bad? As for the country's crisis, I am no longer here, what does it matter to me?

Therefore, as long as you work hard for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what outrageous things you do, grandpa will not blame you."

"...Grandpa Huang, what you told your grandson today is really unexpected. The matter is serious, and I have to think about it carefully."

"Well, this is the reaction that a steady person should have. Grandpa, let me explain to you here. The Queen Mother also knows and supports the matter of going to Nanjing. Originally, we wanted to wait until you were older before mentioning this matter. Today

You brought it up yourself, so Grandpa Huang simply thought that it would be better to go to Nanjing directly... However, if you have doubts and really don't want to go, although Tianjin Wei's matter is difficult to handle, Grandpa will find a way to do it for you.
