Zhu Houzhao was worried until evening, when he finally met Zhu Youtang.

As soon as he saw his father, Zhu Houzhao instantly forgot about the trouble of lack of people in the Hexi Corridor, and replaced it with his great responsibility to urge his father to eat more food.

Zhu Houzhao ran to his father's feet, looked at Zhu Youtang with shining eyes, and shouted in a milky voice: "Father!"

Zhu Youtang felt that since he found a little boy for his son, his son had become much closer to him. However, this closeness was mixed with a trace of unspeakable troubles.

For example, he had no idea that the next moment his son would say something in a sweet voice that would make him worried.

Alas, it is true that smart children are also worrying, and stupid children are also worrying, making people not sure what to do!

Is this the trouble of being a parent?

Zhu Youtang was beating a small drum in his heart, but he smiled at Zhu Houzhao and asked proactively: "What did you learn from your little teacher today?"

Zhu Houzhao told Zhu Youtang what he had written down with a hammer and a stick here and there.

Children's memories are actually quite good, but their logical thinking and expressive thinking have not yet been developed. When telling others about things they have encountered, they can't wait to tell the most interesting parts.

Sometimes the people listening don't have the patience to understand and guide, and they won't want to share with others next time.

Brother Wen has a character that can chat with anyone for a long time. Children all love to communicate with him, and Zhu Houzhao is no exception. When he has enough successful communication experience, Zhu Houzhao loves talking to Zhu Youtang and others more and more. He keeps chattering when he sees people.

He also spoke very enthusiastically.

For example, when this kid started talking about his rise, he immediately climbed up on the slump and stood tall, shouting loudly, "The Huns have not been destroyed, so why do we have a home?"

Zhu Youtang: “…………”

I don't know if I should praise this child for his good memory.

If someone from Lao Wang's family were here, they would realize that this scene is very familiar, just like every time Brother Wen "climbs high to shout".

It's a pity that Zhu Youtang didn't know what kind of life Brother Wen's father usually lived. After being stunned for a while, he still smiled and praised Zhu Houzhao, saying that he spoke well and remembered it very clearly.

Zhu Houzhao was greatly encouraged by the praise from his own father, and he happily decided to tell Zhu Youtang more in the future!

So when it was time for dinner, Zhu Houzhao kept urging his father, this is delicious, eat more! That is delicious, eat more! Eat rice and noodles, grow taller! Eat meat, grow meat! Eat vegetables. , no need to worry about poop!

Zhu Youtang:??????

Although I didn’t really want to eat it, I still couldn’t refuse my son’s enthusiastic recommendation.

Also, why do you have to poop when you eat? Where did you learn so many messy sayings?!

The answer to this question can naturally be figured out by just using your toes.

Zhu Youtang enjoyed the meticulous care of his son, and felt very happy.

Empress Zhang was a bit annoyed. How could her son, who was born in ten months of pregnancy, only care about what his father ate and not her?

Empress Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Why do you, Houzhao, keep asking your father to eat more today?"

This was the point of the question, and Zhu Houzhao immediately gave the answer: "My father eats well, is in good health, has a full treasury, and has strong soldiers and horses! In the future, I will lead the troops to fight, and the Tatars will scream!"

Zhu Youtang: “…………”

Afraid that Zhu Youtang didn't understand it thoroughly enough, Zhu Houzhao racked his brains for a while and began to quote scriptures like Brother Wen: "Wen... Wen Jing's rule! The treasury is full, the soldiers and horses are strong! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, beat him The Huns are howling!"

Zhu Youtang: "………………"

Okay, he got it.

This guy was so actively urging him to eat more because he wanted him to work hard like Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, so that he could inherit a full treasury and strong soldiers and horses like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

He was simply moved just now.

However, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han were both outstanding emperors highly praised in history books. Otherwise, the reigns of these two generations of emperors would not be collectively called the "Reign of Wen and Jing."

Because the civil servants would often use them as examples to encourage him when giving lectures, Zhu Youtang was not angry at Zhu Houzhao asking him to learn from Emperors Wen and Jing.

He touched Zhu Houzhao's head and said: "You are the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty, so you cannot imitate the tactic of resorting to militarism."

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Aren't the Tatars bad?"

Brother Wen said that as long as there is such a large area of ​​grassland, their living habits will not change. Whether it is the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or the Khitan and Mongolia later, they are all nourished by the water and soil of the grassland. The soldiers are strong and the horses are fat, and they are brave and eager to fight.

No matter how many groups of nomads are replaced, the custom of going south to plunder the farming peoples will basically not change - after many ambitious prairie people get a glimpse of the prosperity and stability of the farming peoples, they will also covet this vast and beautiful land. .

For example, when the Mongolian iron hooves trampled through the south, people were divided into four classes. Among them, the Han people in the north belonged to the third class, and the Han people in the south belonged to the fourth class.

Regardless of whether they belong to the third or fourth class, they are all the targets of being stepped on and bullied by the Mongols and the Semu people!

There are many more bad guys on the grassland, they are all bad!

Zhu Youtang fell into silence.

In fact, there have always been incidents of grassland people invading the border areas, but the losses to the imperial court were not too great.

These grassland people, if you send people to fight them, they will run very fast; if you don't send people to fight them, they will come over and buzz like flies from time to time, which is really difficult to deal with.

Therefore, since the Hongwu period, the imperial court has been committed to building the Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan in the north, and also committed to implementing troop garrison arrangements in the north to ensure the stability of the north to the greatest extent.

You must know that the significance of the Great Wall is not only to physically prevent nomads from going south, but also to quickly convey messages, mobilize troops, and transport supplies.

Wherever there is an enemy invasion, the news can be immediately sent to other places through the beacons of the Dunbao, and the surrounding soldiers can be summoned to repel the opponent immediately, which greatly reduces the possibility of the people suffering heavy losses, so that the people in the North will not be like this. A large number of people were lost like that in the Song Dynasty.

So if a child can think of something, an adult would certainly not think of it.

Zhu Youtang held the little prince on his lap and patiently explained to Zhu Houzhao: "Badness is bad. It's just that war, no matter how small it is, will waste people and money. We must not do it when there is peace and quiet." We talk lightly about war. But if they invade south, we will definitely fight back!"

Someone explained the matter to him carefully, and Zhu Houzhao could understand it. He hummed twice and said with great momentum: "Fight them back! Beat them until they howl!"

On the other side, Brother Wen went to see Lao Qiu after going to the office in the evening, and by the way, he showed him the manuscript of "Hexi Corridor" with a preface written by Li Dongyang.

Qiu Jun had read Wen Geer's new sermon. He saw the development process of the Hexi Corridor from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty detailed by Wen Geer and the Shuji scholars, and thought it was pretty good.

Especially when it ends abruptly after the Tang Dynasty, and only uses a few words to mention the misfortune of the Song Dynasty losing its Hexi Corridor and shrinking its territory bit by bit in the three hundred years, it is even more alarming: even if their trip to Shaanxi Dusi costs a lot of money every year and must be defended. The Hexi Corridor must not be lost!

Qiu Jun said: "Can you find a bookstore to open the edition?"

Brother Wen said: "I just got the preface written by Mr. San today. I will find someone to print it and sell it in the next few days."

Qiu Jun said: "Bring me a few copies when the time comes and I will give them to my friends to read."

Brother Wen naturally nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would deliver it as soon as possible.

There was no need to wait until the next day for this matter. Jin Sheng made an errand and told the bookstore owner about it. When the other party heard that Brother Wen had a new manuscript, he immediately ran over before the curfew. I took the manuscript here and started the review process while preparing for printing.

With Li Dongyang's preface at the front and the signature of the Wang family's little prodigy, can it fail the review? It will definitely pass!

There was no need for Mr. Qiu Ge to go out of his way to say hello. The people below raised their hands and let him go.

Compared with the bulk of "Idiom Dictionary", this "Hexi Corridor" is only a thin volume, and it is too simple to print.

Look at this neat list of shujis, look at this vivid and interesting content with pictures and texts, and look at the signatures and prefaces of these prodigy masters and apprentices. As long as it is done properly, it will definitely sell well!

The printing of "Hexi Corridor" into a book was basically finalized, and Brother Wen went to sleep peacefully.

As a result, it started to rain outside in the middle of the night. It was light at first, but it got heavier and heavier in the second half of the night. It was considered the first heavy rain after autumn.

When Brother Wen woke up in the morning, the sky had cleared up. He walked outside and looked at the raindrops hanging on the bamboo leaves. He felt that the air he breathed into his lungs was extremely fresh.

He was in a very comfortable mood and followed his father on the rain-soaked Chang'an Street to go to court. He gloated to his father about Zhu San Sui's misfortune: "I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince will cry when he gets up."

With such a heavy rain, the "Hexi Corridor" in Shachi may have been destroyed.

Zhu Sansui may have suffered the biggest blow in his life early this morning (although his life span was only two years and a half month)!

Wang Hua glanced at the happy Brother Wen and warned: "You should be more careful in front of His Royal Highness and don't act like usual."

This kid is very well-behaved when he's cute, but if he really wants to make people angry, there's no one else like him.

It is said that accompanying a prince is like accompanying a tiger. No matter how young the prince is, he is still a prince. I really made the prince angry, but he will not be fine just because he is only six years old.

Brother Wen said: "I never mess around."

How could he do such an outrageous thing as making fun of the prince for crying?

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Brother Wen entered the palace happily, and when he arrived at Zhu Sansui's residence, he found that Zhu Sansui was lying in front of the railing with tears in his eyes, looking at the sand pool that was messed up by the strong wind and heavy rain.

Brother Wen was already feeling happy in his heart. When he saw tears welling up in his eyes and looking at the extremely pitiful Zhu Houzhao, he immediately suppressed the smile on his brows and walked over solemnly and called out "Your Highness".

When Zhu Houzhao saw Brother Wen coming, he immediately said sadly: "It's raining heavily! It's gone!"

Qilian Mountain is gone!

The Hexi Corridor is gone!

Brother Wen wiped away the tears on Zhu Houzhao's face and led him to the edge of the sand pool, allowing him to take a close look at the ruins of the "Hexi Corridor" that could no longer be seen in their original appearance. He said: "Your Highness has worked hard for

The Qilian Mountains that were created through hardship are no longer there, so it’s very sad now, right?”

When Zhu Houzhao heard Brother Wen ask this, his nose suddenly started to feel sour again.

"sad!"

Zhu Houzhao had a nasal accent when he spoke.

Brother Wen knelt down and talked to him: "Your Highness just spent a long time piling it up. It's very sad to see it destroyed. Many people will be a thousand times more sad than Your Highness when their homes are destroyed and people are killed in natural disasters -

Sometimes a heavy rain that lasts for a month can wash them away

Houses and crops, by then they really will have no house to live in, no food to eat, and no clothes to wear." He touched Zhu Houzhao's shiny head and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor of the world, and your highness is also the prince of the world.

, you must be more compassionate to the people when things happen in the future."

Zhu Houzhao originally didn't understand any natural or man-made disasters, but now looking at the messy sand pool, he understood a little bit.

Of course, it's only a little bit.

Zhu Sansui cursed angrily: "Heavy rain, bad!"
Chapter completed!
