Chapter 341 It’s cold, it’s time to put on some clothes!
Zhu Biao put his palms on the ground and slowly got up from the ground.
He simply gathered what he had written in the past few days and then handed it over to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Biao said: "Father, I have been thinking recently about how to govern the world better. Although I have indeed learned a lot from Xia Zhibai's experience, many of them are my own opinions."
"Originally, I wanted to write all this down and hand it over to my father."
"My father is here today."
"Then I will show these to my father in advance."
"My ministers want to use ten years to reorganize the world's system and reorganize the current complex and chaotic system so that all officials can perform their duties, all industries can regain their vitality, and the people can truly live together. On the Promised Land ”
"Also."
"My son, I sincerely ask my father to abolish the 'mansion'!"
"The officials in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace are arranged by the father and not chosen by the sons themselves."
"These people have either made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, or they are the ministers of the father. They are not what I can call at will, and I don't dare to call them. The East Palace that I want can be A prince's palace that allows its sons and ministers to act as they please is a prince's mansion that can follow their sons and ministers firmly. ”
"I am not an official who must immediately refute whatever my subordinates say."
"I can accept that these people have low salaries, low official positions, and even minor officials. I can accept it because I am tired of seeing people only from the files of the Ministry of Personnel. The files of the Ministry of Personnel contain all the people." People only have glorious political achievements, and there is no mention of mistakes and shortcomings. In my opinion, this is not the real situation at all. "
"Father has always taught us to be pragmatic."
"Because of the files submitted by the officials, my father can tell whether they are good or bad at a glance."
"But I can't."
"So I decided to lean down and see not only the current affairs of these officials, but also the past history and all work of these officials. As the successor of the empire, I always believed that I must know how to identify officials. With the ability of using officials ”
"It's just that now, I don't have any children."
Zhu Biao sighed softly, his eyes a little bleak, and said: "My son, I have read the books of saints and sages in recent years, but I can't care about things outside the window. It's me who feels pity, it's me who stands by and watches, it's me who empathizes, and it's me who can't do anything." , this painful emotion, like a sharp knife, has been stabbing me. "
"If I really am a heartless person, I probably won't care too much."
"It's just that my father has been telling me over the years to be kind to the people and to put the people first and the country first, but I can't really stand by and watch. I still want to do something, although I can't compare. My father’s great achievements are great, but if I can follow my father and make a small contribution to the world, this life will be enough.”
"My son wants to follow in his father's footsteps, but he will never follow his old path."
Zhu Biao turned his head. Although his body was still shaking slightly, the words he said before seemed to give him great courage, allowing him to finally dare to face Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at this time. He calmly said: "Zizhi Tongjian" 》 said: If you don’t have power inside, you should look down on the outside. If you don’t see the benefits, you don’t care about the harm. ”
"In the past, when Song Lian was still a scholar, he taught a few words to his ministers."
"It's a pity that today's young people feel that the lines are full of decadence when they look at the poems and articles of some old scholars. And some old people will smile on their faces and have gloomy eyes when they see the energetic faces of young people, which is regarded as rebellion. Thief.”
"Even if young people sometimes do nothing, in the eyes of old people, they have gone from hope to disappointment."
"In the final analysis."
"It is the status quo and habits that tend to tightly constrain the mind, and young people are more courageous to break through conventions and seek innovation. Just like now, it is the turn of autumn and winter. As a rule, everyone should change their clothes, but if someone is not around If someone changes their clothes, something will often go wrong. ”
"This is the power of habit."
"I didn't understand it very well before." "But now I gradually understand it better."
"In the past, my son was trapped in summer and winter. After summer, it was winter. He did not dare to change clothes at the turn of spring, summer, summer, autumn, autumn and winter, and winter and spring. As a result, there was something wrong with his whole body and mind. So now, my son I want to change my mind and put on some clothes.”
"Father, so are you."
"It's getting cold, it's time to put on more clothes."
A pair of clothes appeared in Zhu Biao's hands at some point, and then they were put on Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously stretched out his hands and closed them.
He looked at Zhu Biao in front of him, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, with a bit of relief and a bit of inexplicable emotions. In the end, he just stared blankly with his eyes.
a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses.
He moved his gaze to the paper below.
But he was obviously absent-minded. Zhu Biao's words touched him a little, not because of Zhu Biao's changes, but because of Zhu Biao's sudden growth. He suddenly seemed to recognize the eldest son again. He could feel that Zhu Biao's energy was completely in front of him. changed.
The cowardice and timidity of the past are gone, and I am a little more confident and determined.
In the past, Zhu Biao would never have dared to say these words to himself. Let alone speak, he didn't even have the courage to write. He glanced at it briefly, but put it aside, looked at the Ma Xiuying Spirit Tablet beside him, and sighed. With a sound, he also sat down.
He stretched out his old arm, touched the cold soul, and said in a low voice: "Your mother has been gone for almost five years. Your mother was worried before that without her, we would become more and more cruel. This is indeed the case. But how can we think of this? ”
"On the surface, we are indeed the ruthless and uncompromising Emperor Hongwu."
"But in the past, only your mother knew how entangled and unwilling we were when we made those decisions."
"It's just that we are the emperor, and we must be responsible for the world."
"There's nothing we can do."
"We have neglected you two in the past, but the reason why we did so much is to make it easier for our descendants of the Zhu family in the future? As a result, in the end, we were scolded by our son for a while, and I took it for granted."
"But you're right."
"We were a little too harsh on you in the past. Since you have your own ideas, we won't stop you. We will follow you. But we have to say it first. Whatever you do, you must tell us in advance. Let us first Take a look. ”
"And."
"Stay away from Xia Zhibai."
"We don't like to see him."
"He has only been in the court for a short time. Our son will listen to him now and not to us."
"As for what you can do, I have to go back and read everything you wrote before deciding. There is no need to discuss the matter of the East Palace. That is what I left to you. We are not dead yet, and we still have no chance. Until you point here.”
