"Mingzhe, now that the Ming Dynasty has unified the world, what are your plans next?"
Seeing that his daughter actually became Su Mingzhe's concubine, although Guo Jing was kind-hearted, he was not too pedantic to beat the couple.
Therefore, he could only sigh and change the subject.
Faced with Guo Jing's question, Su Mingzhe thought for a moment and then answered:
"Master, I want to learn from Gou Jian, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Ten years of gathering, ten years of lessons... As for twenty years later, the disciple may choose to give the Zen position to the next emperor..."
"This is for the people to recuperate and recuperate, which is great!"
It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Huang Rong originally valued and trusted Su Mingzhe, the eldest disciple, but now after hearing Su Mingzhe's arrangement, she nodded in agreement with satisfaction.
Guo Jing also nodded happily and said:
"Since the Anshi Rebellion in the former Tang Dynasty, for five hundred years, wars have been raging in the Central Plains, and the people have been in dire straits! Mingzhe, if you can really do not use weapons for twenty years, you will do a great service to the country and the people!"
…
After Guo Jing learned that his eldest daughter had become Su Mingzhe's concubine, he felt a little emotional and helpless.
However, the deal was done and he could only wish his daughter well.
Guo Jing and his wife took Guo Xiang and Guo Polu to live in the Duke's Mansion of Chu in Dadu for several months. When the hot summer came, they returned to Taohua Island to escape the summer heat.
When the four members of the Guo family left, Guo Fu reluctantly saw them off.
In fact, she had thousands of things she wanted to tell her parents, but with the man standing right next to her, she didn't dare to speak at all.
Waiting until Guo Jing and his wife disappeared at the end of the official road, Guo Fu followed the man back to the Forbidden City.
The two of them arrived at Qianqing Palace, and Guo Fu said goodbye to the man:
"Your Majesty, I'm going back to the harem first!"
"Don't leave yet!"
During the few months that Guo Jing and his wife stayed in Dadu City, Su Mingzhe endured the itching in his heart and did not bully Guo Fu.
Now that Guo Jing and his wife are gone, how could Su Mingzhe let her escape from his sight so easily.
After dragging Guo Fu into the dormitory of Qianqing Palace, Su Mingzhe took out a notebook and opened the first page, which read:
"On January 17, Concubine Li met her parents for the first time and applied eye drops to the emperor. She will be punished three times!"
…
The world is so peaceful!
As the new Great Khan of the grassland proclaimed himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute.
Countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Guiqian, who ran to Nanyang, canceled his imperial title and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
The world is so peaceful!
At least since the Hongwu era, there has been no use of weapons for ten years.
…
This day.
In the Qingque Palace.
Guo Fu gave birth to her third child, who was also Su Mingzhe's 100th prince.
"Sister, this little guy is so ugly!"
Guo Xiang was already a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. When she saw the son her sister had given birth to, his skin was wrinkled and a little purple, she felt a little disgusted and didn't want to hug him anymore.
"What do you know? This newborn baby is just like this. It will be fine in a few days."
Guo Fu took over her first son and hugged her with joy, regardless of him opening his mouth to spit bubbles, and kissed him again and again.
In the ten years since she entered the palace, she only gave birth to two princesses, and was often ridiculed by the concubines who gave birth to princes.
Now, she also has a son!
Let’s see who dares to say that she can’t give birth to a son!
…
When you have more children, it’s time to work hard to earn a family fortune.
At the great court meeting.
Su Mingzhe put his mouth on Liu Bingzhong's behalf and directly wrote the memorial, saying that the "Ten Years of Life Gathering" plan has ended, and next, the "Ten Years of Lessons" will begin.
Among the courtiers and generals, when they heard the "Ten Years' Lessons", they were excited and supportive.
I haven't had any hands or feet for ten years, and my bones are all rusty.
After ten years of lessons, I think it’s time to conquer the north and south and expand the territory!
The civil servants strongly opposed it.
??????55.??????
Prince Taifu Wang E even said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, it has only been ten years since the Ming Dynasty was founded. Ten years ago, the people of Li were in dire straits and all their industries were ruined. Now ten years have passed and the people have just had a little surplus food in their homes. They can buy new clothes for the New Year. If we build weapons again, I am afraid it will be necessary.
It’s the same mistake as the previous administration!”
What Wang E said was only a superficial reason.
The real reason is that, in the view of the civil servants, the power of military generals will definitely increase greatly during the 'Ten Years' Lesson' period, which is very unfavorable to the suppression of military generals by civil servants.
This is a huge impact on the phalanx of "using culture to control military force" since the Song Dynasty.
Both sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly.
In the end, we could only ask the emperor Su Mingzhe to make the final decision.
Su Mingzhe looked at the ministers with kind eyes:
"What the Grand Tutor said is indeed reasonable. The people of the Central Plains have just lived and worked in peace and contentment. If we rashly develop weapons and weapons, we will inevitably increase taxes, which is really inappropriate! After all, we founded the Ming Dynasty because the previous dynasty imposed excessive taxes and numerous miscellaneous taxes, and the people were miserable.
Say, this will replace it!"
"Zi Xia was the governor of Ju's father and asked about government affairs. Zi Xia said, 'If there is no desire for haste, there will be no small gain. If haste leads to waste, if you see small gain, great things will not be achieved.' I think this is true!"
"Governing a country requires long-term governance. It has been ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The strategy of gathering and gathering has achieved remarkable results. We should continue to maintain it and not discontinue it!"
When the civil servants heard what Su Mingzhe said, they immediately beamed with joy.
When Su Mingzhe said this, his voice suddenly changed:
"However, as the saying goes, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, and if you are eager to fight, you will perish!"
"Ten years of gatherings, ten years of lessons, this is the national policy we set when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and it cannot be changed..."
When Liu Bingzhong heard Su Mingzhe's final decision and agreed to his memorial, his eyelids drooped slightly, and there was no trace of the joy of victory on his face.
"Ten years of gathering, ten years of lessons" was originally what Su Mingzhe asked him to propose.
Therefore, it was natural for Su Mingzhe to agree to this memorial.
Seeing that Liu Bingzhong's memorial was confirmed, the civil servants were not reconciled and immediately put forward many restrictions.
For civil servants, it is their bounden duty to restrict the development of generals.
In this regard, Su Mingzhe is happy to see the results.
After all, the way of an emperor is to balance the court, and it is impossible to let one party dominate.
The court meeting is over.
Su Mingzhe returned to the imperial study and began to handle government affairs.
Had lunch.
Su Mingzhe was bored, and when he heard the news that Guo Fu had given birth, he immediately came to Qingque Palace to visit.
As soon as he entered the door, he was suddenly thrown into the arms of a girl:
"I caught...brother-in-law?"
The moment Guo Xiang hugged Su Mingzhe, she felt something was wrong. She quickly took off her blindfold and saw that she was throwing herself in the arms of her brother-in-law Su Mingzhe in an inelegant posture. She quickly backed away in shame.
Su Mingzhe pinched his fingers with some regret.
When Guo Xiang rushed towards him just now, he instinctively stretched out his hand to block it, and just happened to pinch a jumping white rabbit.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
Qingying and Qingtong, who were playing hide and seek not far away, saw Su Mingzhe appear and quickly came over to bow in a polite manner.
"No gifts, no gifts..."
Su Mingzhe put away his inner turmoil, picked up the four-year-old 46th Princess Su Qingtong, then stretched out his hand to rub the 25th-year-old Princess Su Qingying's head, and then smiled at his sister-in-law Guo Xiang:
"Xian'er played with Qingying and Qingtong, was it hard?"
"It's not hard..."
Guo Xiang's big white rabbit was pinched by Su Mingzhe, and she naturally felt it herself. She was shy and annoyed at the moment, so when she heard the question, she just responded casually.
"You guys keep playing!"
Su Mingzhe put down his daughter, glanced at Guo Xiang again, and then walked towards Guo Fu's bedroom.
By the way, Guo Xiang's rabbits are comparable to Guo Fu's, and she doesn't know what she fed them to make them so big.
