"God, what mistake did Ming Dynasty make!" Zhu Biao, who had always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but gnashed his teeth at this moment. "My father and my uncles worked hard to expel the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and then we revived our Han family. .”
"Why did you send this 'little glacier' to make Ming Dynasty suffer so much?"
"Brother, why should we be resentful?" Zhu Su said. "The sages have said, 'Heaven's actions are always consistent. It will not survive for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie.' How could God be targeting me, the Ming Dynasty?"
"I just said, 'Heaven's reincarnation'. This is just a law of heaven's operation."
"Later generations of scholars have summed up a rule: climate changes often change cyclically in units of hundreds or even thousands of years."
"Often when the temperature is suitable for a long time, it will be cold for a long time. This goes on and on."
"Moreover, this cycle is also inextricably linked to the changes in our Central Plains dynasty."
Zhu Su lowered his voice. He was obviously still a boy in his teens, but at this moment, he felt like a profound wise man to Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
"Let's take Liaodong as an example. When the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liaodong was still a bitter and cold place."
"But by the time the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, Liaodong already had tens of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland."
…
"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhu Su quickly ran away. This elder brother was very close to Lao Zhu's heart. After receiving his courtesy, what would he do if Lao Zhu wanted to spank him again?
"Su'er, don't disturb your father first." Empress Ma stopped him. "That's how he is. He will do whatever comes to his mind. He can't wait for a moment."
The two of them were civil servants, not like rough men like Lao Zhu, who were so strong and powerful and had so much firepower that they could stay up all night without feeling sleepy.
"If you don't believe it, you can check the history books. Whenever China is in trouble, it usually happens when the temperature drops sharply."
Chongba is good at everything, except for the benchmark, which is indeed a bit biased.
"Few dynasties can survive in such internal and external difficulties."
"Ah, wait..." Zhu Su also stood up. "Father, the main hall..."
"...No wonder there is always a saying in the history books about 'good weather' in every prosperous age." Zhu Biao shook his head and laughed at himself. "It's funny that I never cared about it in the past. I thought it was just a cliché, but I never thought that these four words actually have something to do with it. The rise and fall of dynasties are closely related..."
"Lao Wu, just accept it." But it was Lao Zhu who spoke from the side. "Don't say it's eldest brother. We have been the emperor for so many years, but we have never thought that there is such a great knowledge in just the weather and the land. .”
At this time, the Imperial Case in the East Pavilion was already densely packed with books and volumes. There were so many books that Lao Zhu and the Crown Prince and his son were almost buried in the books. If the Crown Prince had not stood up and saluted them both, neither of them would have noticed the Crown Prince. It’s here too!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here." Hearing Lao Zhu call him a private title, the two of them knew that this was a private meeting and not a formal meeting, so they relaxed a little. Li Shanchang said doubtfully: "I don't know if the superior has called me to come. Do you have any orders?"
Queen Ma, who had been listening silently, suddenly concluded.
"But, Queen Mother..."
In the future, after confirming the thing that matters to you, you should look for opportunities to ask yourself about these children...
She had discovered long ago that in front of Biao'er, her children all called herself and Chongba "Father and Queen".
"Yes, that's the truth!"
As soon as Lao Zhu left the Qianqing Palace, he loudly called Erhu and asked him to go to the house of Han Gong and Chengyi Bo in person and call Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.
In the past, when gentlemen taught about this festival, they only said that the Tartars did not engage in production and wasted good land. It was not until the Tang Dynasty took possession of Liaodong that these fertile fields were reclaimed.
"Stop talking, gentlemen, come quickly."
Although he was not completely indifferent to his other sons, on the surface, he was indeed several times harsher than his eldest son Zhu Biao.
"And in troubled times, temperatures often drop sharply?"
Although it is said that etiquette cannot be abolished, this always makes her feel uncomfortable.
"Come on, we have something here to show you!"
Fortunately, Lao Zhu's attitude was quite kind. When he saw the two of them, he waved to them. "Oh, here are the two gentlemen."
"Listening to Fifth Brother's words is better than studying for ten years!" Zhu Biao suddenly rolled up his sleeves, stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Su. "Fifth Brother, please accept me as your brother!"
He was always impatient, so he thought so in his mind, and stood up physically. "Let's go to the East Pavilion and discuss it with the ministers to see if we can come up with a proper solution."
I was afraid that Lao Zhu would catch him by his pigtails because he had committed something.
After listening to these two conclusions made by Zhu Su, he felt that he could not sit still for a moment. His heart flew directly to Dongge, and he wished he could immediately come up with a way to break these two "magic curses" that would bind Ming Dynasty in the future.
Never thought that it was because of the climate!
Then he took the prince, father and son to the east pavilion in a hurry.
"Let him finish his work first."
"What kind of queen?" Queen Ma stood up and patted his head. "Call me mother! We are all family members and don't care about these red tapes."
"Your Majesty." Soon, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen arrived. Poor these two old brothers, they were woken up by Lao Zhu early in the morning and went into the palace. They came home panting and had just had a meal, before they had time to lie down and recuperate. After a while, he was invited over again by Erhu in a hurry.
"Sister, let's go first. We won't come back for lunch at noon." After saying that, Feng Feng Huo Huo walked out.
Queen Ma's eyes flashed with worry.
So he believed it.
Do you really think that those Liao people are lazy people who would rather starve to death than know how to open up wasteland and cultivate land?
How can their old arms and legs stand up to such a torment?
But he is now the emperor, and over the years, he has become more and more unfathomable. Naturally, the two of them did not dare to neglect. When they saw Erhu coming to summon him in person, they could barely hold back their panic and hurriedly entered the palace. .
This is a recipe for disaster...
Zhu Sudao. "It is precisely for this reason that the so-called 'three-hundred-year curse' is actually because the cycle of climate change is often three hundred years."
How could she not have noticed that when Zhu Su just entered the palace, he felt uncomfortable in the corner of his eyes?
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao to see if there was such a record. Zhu Biao looked at his questioning eyes and nodded with great difficulty.
"Lao Wu, as a rule, no one is allowed to talk except the four of us when we are talking here today."
"What's more, he was in a bad mood last night and he hasn't finished approving the papers yet. Today, I'm afraid the papers from Jinshen Hall will pile up even more."
It’s not because of the cold weather that it’s impossible to plant anything!
"...Su'er, you mean that prosperity usually occurs when the climate is mild."
"Dad, wait for me, I'll go with you!" Zhu Biao quickly stood up and followed behind Lao Zhu.
"Climate causes disasters, disasters cause famine, and they also lead to invasion by foreign enemies."
After talking for almost a whole morning, my mouth was dry. Why did I leave just when I was about to make a request?
Master, I don’t want to go to the main hall and suffer anymore!
"These are stored in the palace, from the Shengong period of the Tang Dynasty to the Hongwu period, as well as various other historical materials."
"Come and help us check whether the temperature in the world has really dropped from the Tang Dynasty to now!"
"Temperature?" Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen looked at each other, both confused.
Our Emperor, what kind of Jianzhou Jurchen did he just create in the morning? Only a few hours later, he is already concerned about the temperature changes in the world?
Is life too comfortable, or are there too few memorials handed down from below?
