a month...

Isn't this too long?

Why can't it be three days?

The old man doesn't understand the style.

Zhu Ying complained inwardly.

Who doesn't want to marry a wife? At least it's stable now. You shouldn't force me to marry a wife, and then I pretend to shirk it, and then I reluctantly accept it.

In Zhu Ying's mind, there was actually no choice for the concubine.

This old man didn’t introduce anyone to me, so who could I choose?

After thinking about it, Ye Yueqing was the only one.

As for Zhao Xiangxi and Chen Muyue, these are foreign women. They can be concubines, but naturally they cannot be the main wife.

Of course, in Zhu Ying's mind, Xu Miaojin did not have this option.

After all, he still carries the memories of his previous life. He has just turned fourteen and really has no ideas. Although the market is different now, in terms of thought, Zhu Ying said that he still has a very moral sense.

"Grandpa, since you have issued the edict, my grandson can only hurry up and handle this matter." Zhu Ying's tone revealed a very strong sense of helplessness.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "My dear grandson, you are sensible. Let's talk to Concubine Ning tomorrow so that she can start preparations. Let Qin Tianjian choose a nearby auspicious day to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.

Already."

Zhu Ying didn't want to talk more about this aspect and immediately started to change the topic: "Grandpa, now the uncles have finalized the decision. For now, the vassal state of the third uncle and the fourth uncle is set to be in the Japanese country. My grandson is thinking, let's

The seventh uncle has also passed by, and it is easy to balance with the three pillars."

The idea of ​​temporarily adding a vassal king to the Japanese country was actually Zhu Ying's sudden idea during the dinner party.

Before that, there were only King Zhu Di of Yan and King Zhu Fan of Jin.

When Zhu Ying saw the vassal kings, he felt that if there were only two of them, they had personal grudges and were far away from the capital. Over time, they might not be able to help but start a fight.

This is not in line with Zhu Ying's purpose. After all, the biggest key lies in education.

Adding Qi Wang Zhu Shu can also act as a moderator at critical moments.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Ying believed that in the long run, Zhu Di might be stronger than Zhu Fan.

After all, the name of Emperor Yongle is not for nothing.

"Aren't you worried about other people who cannot be granted overseas status and serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty? Or are you saying this is just a pretense? Dasun just wants to stabilize it first."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Those who were capable of fighting and eager to build a country were sent outside the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang still felt good about this.

Although he is the father of these vassal kings, what he cares more about is the inheritance of his direct descendants.

Although the sons of Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di, including Zhu Zhen and Zhu Bo, were outstanding in military talent, there was also Zhu Quan behind them.

But in terms of total number, they are still in the minority.

More in terms of talents, they are still relatively ordinary.

Regarding the arrangements for these descendants, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get an answer from his great grandson.

Zhu Ying did not hesitate and replied directly; "Of course it is true, or the identity of the prince will bring them a lot of convenience, but in the eyes of the grandson, this is what it should be. In any case, we are all a family. This convenience

I will definitely give it."

"However, in terms of governance, Sun'er will still arrange personnel for supervision, or greater supervision. If it is to torture the people, it will definitely not work in the fish and meat village, so he will receive a salary from the internal funds and be an idle rich prince.

Bar."

"Sun'er's Qunying Chamber of Commerce, based on the current situation and direction, will accumulate a lot of money in the future. Sun'er wants to set up a special shareholding in the clan's mansion as a benefit for all the royal family's descendants in the future."

"At the same time, each member of the royal family will be given a part of the amount according to their rank and status, and they can use it as their own share of property after the crowning ceremony."

"The vassal kings who will be conferred in the future can also have a certain amount of money to recruit soldiers and counselors to open their own vassal states in distant places."

"Grandpa, don't worry. My grandson is not a cold-blooded person. He doesn't do many things on the surface. He will take good care of our old Zhu family."

Zhu Ying understood the old man's fear in his heart. Of course, in Zhu Ying's view, this kind of fear was a very normal thing.

The so-called royal ruthlessness has been documented in countless bloody cases throughout the history of the dynasty. Adding to the situation of his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang's worries are really not unnecessary.

"Now that Dasun has said this, we can rest assured. Dasun, you have to remember that with so many people in the entire royal family, there may be a few scoundrels, but that may not always be the case."

"For several generations our ancestors, the old Zhu family, have been farmers digging in the soil. When we came here, we encountered unprecedented changes in the Central Plains dynasty. We were lucky enough to win the Central Plains world."

"It is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to defend it. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was so powerful at the beginning. It had millions of people who could control the country. It swept all the countries in the world. However, less than a hundred years after the founding of the country, it fell into pieces. It can be seen that in governing the world

, how difficult it is.”

"Emperors of any dynasty do not want their dynasty to last forever, but throughout the past and present, there has never been any dynasty that has truly achieved this."

"The longest state is the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted nearly eight hundred years."

"But the First Emperor who unified the world, such a powerful figure, turned into smoke and disappeared in just fifteen years."

"When we first founded the Ming Dynasty, we had great ambitions to expand our territory and expand our territory. However, as time went by, we gradually discovered that the interior of the Ming Dynasty was a mess."

"The differences between the northern and southern Han people, the miserable life of the common people, and the wealthy squires who are full of dissatisfaction."

"These things, if not careful, are the hidden dangers of overthrowing our Ming Dynasty. A thousand-mile embankment will be destroyed in an ant nest. Our Ming Dynasty seems to be prosperous and strong, but in fact it is a powerful force on the outside."

"For this reason, we can only be busy with court affairs and no longer think about mobilizing troops."

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, with too much regret in his tone. He took this opportunity to teach his eldest grandson how to govern a country.

It is also very rare for him to reveal his inner thoughts in front of his grandson.

Looking at Dasun's slightly pensive face, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then continued: "Dasun, you are still young. During this time, we have also been very clear in our hearts that Dasun has many thoughts in his heart."

"We don't know what kind of Ming Dynasty we want to create in Dasun's heart, but we understand that no matter what the choice is, we both have the same idea, which is to make this Ming Dynasty more prosperous."

"Governing the country, the army, and the officials are like cooking fresh vegetables, as Sun Tzu said."

"What we are most worried about is that after we leave, the eldest grandson will be a little anxious, which will lead to trouble."

"Dasun, I will take advantage of today to tell my grandpa a few words from my heart. In Dasun's thoughts, what level do you want the Ming Dynasty to reach?"

This was Zhu Yuanzhang's inner worry.

As the founding emperor of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely uncomfortable with his successor.

It's too bad to be good at it, and I can't let go of someone as good as Da Sun.

It can be found in the history of previous dynasties that all outstanding emperors always wanted to create their own achievements and leave a strong mark in the history books.

To do this, it is inevitable to carry out a large number of reforms to the entire country.

After this, it is natural to establish great achievements.

Some emperors succeeded and left a great reputation throughout the ages, while some emperors failed and left countless infamy.

Whether these emperors failed or succeeded, there was no doubt that they were all excellent in themselves.

But sometimes, a relatively mediocre emperor is what makes a dynasty last longer.

Zhu Ying fell silent after hearing the old man's words.

He wanted to say something, but he felt a little unwilling to deceive the old man.

But if you tell the old man that he wants to hit here and there, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old man to understand.

After thinking about it, Zhu Ying slowly spoke:

"I regret that the emperors of Qin and Han were slightly less talented in literature. The ancestors of the Tang and Song Dynasties were slightly less elegant.

The genius of the generation, Genghis Khan, only knew how to bend a bow and shoot at giant eagles.

It’s all gone, let’s count the famous people, but let’s look at the present.”

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

He knew that Dasun had great ideas, and his excellence could be seen from the many layout methods and reforms to the government system.

But I didn't expect that Da Sun would have such lofty ambitions.

Dominate the Qin Dynasty and strengthen the Han Dynasty, prosper the Tang Dynasty and prosper the Song Dynasty.

In Dasun's eyes, these are all existences that need to be transcended.

And Genghis Khan, who established a huge territory, was just a warrior.

This means the Ming Dynasty that Da Sun wants to build.

In terms of hegemony, he is not weaker than Da Qin.

In terms of strength, he is compared with the big man.

In terms of prosperity, it rivaled that of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of wealth, it is no different from the Fu Song Dynasty.

Even in terms of territory, it is vaster and wider than the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty established by Genghis Khan.
