Seeing that the explanation was almost complete, Emperor Mingguang waved his hand for the great emperor Li An to go down.
The great emperor's grandson, Li An, bowed respectfully, said goodbye to the elders Li Wenchong and Gu Qingling, and then left with his things in his arms.
Emperor Mingguang said calmly: "Don't you know now?"
"Brother Emperor, you know what I'm talking about."
"It's not too late to know now." Emperor Mingguang asked people to serve tea and asked the couple to sit down. "I have been thinking about this matter for more than a day or two. Since you started telling me, you are already old.
I want to take advantage of the last few years to take a good look at the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. Even if I close my eyes on the road one day, I will be willing to go underground and tell the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty what the Ming Dynasty is like now..."
Yes, that's right, he said this. Li Wenchong nodded.
"You want to see it, don't I want to go?" Emperor Mingguang glared at him, "When you were young, I let you go out of the palace to run around. I have never left this position since I sat in it.
Jingchen. The map of the Ming Dynasty has changed again and again. Even the other side of the sea has become the Ming Dynasty, but I have never seen it. Everything is what you said..."
There was still some resentment behind it.
Although Li Wenchong couldn't follow Yao Jiuye to the fiefdom, hadn't he found excuses to take Gu Qingling away from Beijing in the past few years?
The couple visited all around the capital.
It's a pity that Emperor Mingguang stayed in the palace all day and couldn't go anywhere.
Even in Beijing, I haven’t visited a few times.
There was no way, as Shuxiangyuan cultivated more and more talents, more and more memorials needed to be read by Emperor Mingguang. No matter how much he delegated the tasks, he who was used to being in control could not help but control everything.
Ask again and again.
Don't worry if you don't ask. Ming Dynasty is developing too fast. A slight mistake caused a section to be broken in the middle. He can't even figure out where it is.
As he got older, things became more and more complicated. Emperor Mingguang watched the Ming Dynasty prosper with pain and joy.
Fortunately, he has many sons and grandsons, so by dividing the overseas land piece by piece, he will be able to worry less.
He was busy here, while Li Wenchong was leisurely over there, and would come over to stab him from time to time, wanting to run outside to be cool. After a long time, how could Emperor Mingguang not have any ideas?
I am so exhausted here that you are still despising the capital and want to go outside and wander around because you have already visited all over the capital?
Ah!
After the renovation of the capital, I haven’t even had a good stroll around it.
Blah blah blah, Emperor Mingguang complained a lot to Li Wenchong.
Li Wenchong was both unjust and helpless: "Brother Emperor, I didn't want to leave Li and go live alone. If that were the case, I would just leave. Why do I have to ask you? It's not that you are the emperor. These are all your worries.
Well……"
"I am no longer here, I am the Supreme Emperor."
Li Wenchong: "..."
Do you also know that your eldest nephew became the emperor without being an emperor one day? Aren't you afraid that he will rush back from outside and get angry with you?
What can Li Wenchong do with his biological brother who is old enough to be his father and has pampered him all his life?
"Brother Emperor, have you really thought about it? Once the great emperor ascends the throne, you will have nothing."
"Don't I still have you?"
"No, what I mean is that after you abdicate, you will have no choice but to be a retired bad old man like me."
"I see that your little life is quite fulfilling. Why, I can't live the same carefree life that you live?"
"...Yes. Dare I say no? As long as Brother Huang has thought about it, I promise to make proper arrangements for Brother Huang..."
Li Wenchong was actually afraid that Emperor Mingguang would regret it. It would be difficult to regret this Zen position later.
Emperor Mingguang had pampered him all his life, and he also hoped that Emperor Mingguang would have a good death.
He quickly left the palace and took out the travel plan he had designed with Gu Qingling before: "Brother Huang, this is the senior group group between me and Qingling. Take a look, do you have anything to adjust? If not, you can
He really ran away with us..."
"I'll take a look and then talk."
"Okay, then I'll leave you here."
…
In fact, what Emperor Mingguang did not say was that Ming Dynasty was developing faster and faster, which was good, but it also brought huge pressure to him - he felt more and more that he was getting old and could no longer keep up.
In this era, if you don't hand over the throne quickly, you are afraid that you will not be able to protect it later.
He has opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty and conquered a vast territory, almost encompassing the entire planet. He can be said to be a man of great talent and strategy, comparable to that of the first emperor, the successor of the ancestors, the able ministers of the prosperous age, the development of hundreds of schools of thought, and the vigorous development of strategies.
And in Yuyu Nei, he swallowed the Zhou Kingdom and destroyed the foreign tribes, acted as the supreme and controlled Liuhe, beat and beat the world, and shocked the world.
No, to be precise, he was more amazing than the First Emperor.
The First Emperor only asked Meng Tian to build the Great Wall to the north and guard the fence, but the Huns were more than 700 miles away. The Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the scholars did not dare to bend their bows to complain. Then he cut down Huahua City, because the river was a river, and occupied hundreds of millions of meters.
A city should be considered solid in the face of unexpected events. Good generals can guard the key points with strong crossbows. Trustworthy ministers can guard the key points with their best soldiers and sharp soldiers. Who will do what? The world will be determined.
Emperor Mingguang was even more powerful. He directly dominated the world. The emergence of Mr. Gongshu directly gave Ming the military strength to crush other countries.
Later, there were Gongshu Academy and Mohist Academy as the foundation, which put the whole world within the range of the Ming Dynasty. So, who dares to say anything?
When the Ming Dynasty was changing with each passing day, and Emperor Mingguang felt more and more strenuous, he couldn't help but think of the Qin Dynasty that died in his second generation.
How was the Qin Dynasty defeated?
It's just that when Qin Shihuang died, he didn't decide on a prince first. Zhao Gao and Li Si, who were plotting evil, gave that trash to Hu Hai?
Of course not.
Qin Shihuang unified currency, weights and measures, and writing, which promoted economic and cultural exchanges across regions and consolidated unity. However, the years of war also brought disaster to the people, especially because he did not recuperate and give the people a chance to breathe.
, heavy taxes, heavy corvees, and military service made the people suffer too much.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the people living at the bottom cannot survive, they have no choice but to find another way out, and there will be military chaos.
In addition, Qin Shihuang abolished the ways of the ancestors, burned the opinions of hundreds of families, and fooled the people of the world. This group of people lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. They were like blind men who were blindfolded, and they were especially easy to be fooled.
No, here are the people who are starving to death, and over there are the rebels who can cheat and save them. Will they just follow the rebels and rebel?
Under the influence of Gu Qingling, Emperor Mingguang enjoyed the benefits of enlightening the people's wisdom. He was also happy that the people below him had clear ears and eyes, could see the situation clearly, and would not be fooled by others. He was also happy to see them live a stable and peaceful life.
The more you go, the more prosperous it becomes.
But the more carols he heard, the more panicked Emperor Mingguang became, and the more he feared that he would follow the same path of Qin Shihuang - taking too big steps, nonsense, and ruining the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Shihuang only unified a small amount of territory, but eventually it fell apart. He almost unified the world.
The more he thought about it, the more restless Emperor Mingguang's sleep became, and the more he wanted to hand over his power quickly to avoid losing his security at the end of the year.
At the same time, he was also afraid that his successor would be too young and would be another Qin II.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Emperor Mingguang decided to take the Zen throne.
Firstly, he can preserve his old age; secondly, he can also take advantage of closing his eyes to see how the outgoing person is doing, and if there is a problem, there is still a chance to rescue him.
The situation in the Ming Dynasty is very good now, but we cannot let future generations bring disaster.
At the same time, he can also travel around the world and take a good look at the country he has built - after working hard all his life, he can't close his eyes and not know what it looks like, right?
