One hundred and seventeen chapters wife and son filial piety
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Biao'er, you have never lived in your hometown. You don't understand. Our hometown is our roots! Back then, if we had any way to survive, we would not leave our hometown in Fengyang. We really couldn't survive.
We can only starve to death if we stay at home, so we came out now. Shanxi is doing well now, and the people will be willing to leave only if they are crazy. The only way is to let the army kidnap their entire family."
Zhu Biao sighed. The first large-scale population migration in history was the Jin Dynasty's migration to the south. The second time was during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, when a large number of northern residents went south to escape the war. The third time was from the late Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, as the Jurchens
The Jin Kingdom established by the nation occupied the central and northern parts of mainland China, and a large number of people moved to the south of the Yangtze River with the defeated rulers.
In this way, it can be seen that under such bad circumstances, Chinese people would choose to leave their hometown on a large scale. Although their lives are not very good now, it is still an era of peace. Shandong people can make it through hard work
How could an old family want to go to a place with an uncertain future when they only have enough to eat?
But for the sake of the overall situation, there is nothing we can do. The population in other places is declining, and the living conditions in ancient times were harsh. People cannot develop without uniting.
Zhu Biao said: "I want to personally take charge of this matter. It is of great importance at this time. I can feel at ease when I go to all parties. The local government offices will also do their best to work. If there are any problems, they can be solved quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned after hearing this: "No, Biao'er, it is impossible to do it beautifully at this time. If you want to satisfy all parties, even if the saint comes out, it won't work. You can only step in the mud and come back."
Zhu Biao stood up and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "This son and minister know about it and are mentally prepared, but this matter is of great importance. My brothers are still young. If I let the ministers do it, I am afraid that my father will not do it."
Peace of mind.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you know who we are going to let do this errand?"
Zhu Biao thought for a while and still couldn't think of it: "I can't guess it, but I think the fate of this person will not be too good."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "If nearly 100,000 people are forcibly relocated at one time, at least thousands of people will die on the road, old and young, not to mention that no one may be forced to rebel. People who die in this way will only die."
There will be more, and when the time comes, officials in charge must be released to quell public complaints."
Zhu Biao did have the idea of giving up. After all, once he did this, he, the crown prince, would be responsible for anything that happened, and it would be left in the history books of future generations.
Since ancient times, everyone has attached great importance to their posthumous reputation, fearing that they will be placed on a pillar of shame by future generations. Especially those holy kings cherish their feathers.
But Zhu Biao didn't care. He had nothing to fear even if he died. No matter how much he was scolded by future generations, he would not hear it. He really wanted to do something practical for the people and the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at his father and said: "My son has been loved by his father since he was a child. He was established as the crown prince at the age of nine and the crown prince at the age of thirteen. Although he has made great achievements in recovering Yanyun and overthrowing the Northern Yuan Dynasty,
But I know very well that this was cultivated by my father and is not my ability."
Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "What are you talking about! How can Beiyuan be destroyed by ordinary people? Others don't know your ability, how can we, the father, not know it?"
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this and said: "My son is not doing it for other reasons. I really want to do a lot of things for him. As long as it is beneficial to the country, it doesn't matter if I step on the mud. My father is stepping on the mountain of corpses with his bare feet."
Didn’t the sea of blood also come out and open up the Ming Dynasty?”
Seeing Lao Zhu smile, Zhu Biao continued: "And this matter is also an excellent training for my son. He has studied hard since he was a child. Since he became the crown prince, he has often read the memorials with his father. The more he reads, the more he feels that it is paperless."
It’s easy to understand, but if you can go to the local area to deal with such a big thing, I think you can learn a lot about the principles of governing the country and the people.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with some surprise. He was a tough person and a person with a strong desire for control. He wanted to solve everything.
Thinking that after we take care of the world, we can set rules for our children and grandchildren, so that they can live in peace and prosperity.
Emperor Zhu stood up and looked at his son below. His eldest son had always been his pride. He was intelligent, eager to learn, good at both civil and military affairs, and his strategizing skills seemed to be given by God. He was a natural leader.
Zhu Biao lowered his head and said, "Please give me permission, Father."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and pulled up his son: "Stepping in mud is not necessarily a bad thing. If it can keep you grounded, it is also a good thing to have real contact with the people at the bottom."
Zhu Biao stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, father. I will do my best to do this well."
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and said: "Go down and get ready. You won't be here for the next few days. You go and meet the imperial examination candidates who have arrived, and then prepare for your wedding. We plan to hold a wedding for you after the imperial examination."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, then left the Imperial Study Room and headed to the East Palace with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and smiled, sat back and called out who was coming. After a while, Mao Xiang came in and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's writing desk: "I respectfully listen to the holy teachings."
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the memorial and said: "Two things. First, inform the Ministry of Rites that the prince's wedding will be brought forward, and choose the best day after the imperial examination. The other is to speed up the deployment of manpower to Shandong, and make sure that when the prince arrives, he can quickly grasp the situation in Shanxi.
The trends of all parties.”
Mao Xiang immediately bowed and agreed. After Zhu Yuanzhang had roughly handled the government affairs, he walked directly to the Queen's Kunning Palace. When he entered, he saw Queen Ma sewing something for him. Zhu Yuanzhang waved everyone to go down, and then stopped him.
The queen who is about to salute.
Pulling his queen to sit on the bed, Zhu Yuanzhang said cheerfully: "Today our prince has accepted a big errand from us."
Empress Ma frowned when she heard this: "Chongba, you can't be too accustomed to Biao'er. He is a little too compliant, which is not a good thing."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Others are begging us to give our son more opportunities, why are you still unwilling?"
Empress Ma said: "What else does he want to do at this age? He already has military merit and the reputation of being a scholar. Now is the time for me to learn how to handle government affairs with peace of mind."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what his wife said, he couldn't help but feel happy again and thought, God has not failed me Zhu Chongba, what more can I ask for from a virtuous wife, a filial son, and a filial husband!
Empress Ma saw that her husband only had silly joy and gave him a gentle push: "What kind of job does Biao'er want to do, to be in charge of the imperial examination? Or does he want to be in charge of one of the six departments?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head: "No, let me guess again."
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him: "You don't allow me to inquire about the affairs of the court. How do I know what your father and son are planning? In short, you should think more about it and don't always spoil your son. If you want to be a good person in front of your son,
, then you call him over and I will teach him a lesson."
