Daming: Father, I am no longer a teacher

Chapter 44
But why does Zhu Yuanzhang need others to teach him what is human nature?
From a beggar to an emperor, he has experienced life and death, as well as the separation of relatives. Empress Ma gave him the warmth of his family, and he was also betrayed by his nephew Zhu Wenzheng. He has seen too many people's heart changes along the way. How can a yellow-mouthed child have the right to criticize himself?
It's not that Lao Zhu can't understand what Zhang Yi said.

It's just that everyone's position is different, and it is difficult to change the concept.

What is decent and how much is decent enough?

If he is not in charge, how can he know the difficulty of being in charge?
Can Zhu Yuanzhang's will be changed by a little child with just a few words?

But when Zhang Yi said these words, Lao Zhu's anger went down instead.

Firstly, he developed a love for talent for Zhang Yi, and secondly, he also admitted that what Zhang Yi said was reasonable.

However, even if he understood this truth, Lao Zhu would continue to carry it out in his own way. After he figured it out, he didn't bother about Zhang Yi's claim that he was stingy.

"Do you think you understand human nature better than the emperor? Or, you are smarter than him?"

Although he let go of this matter, the emperor couldn't admit defeat with his mouth.

"I dare not say..."

Zhang Yi quickly waved his hand. He didn't think that as a time traveler, he would definitely be able to crush the ancients, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the Taoist temple honestly.

"If that's the case, why do you think that the emperor didn't think of the problem you thought of? The world is difficult, and any decision made by the king needs to weigh the pros and cons... Do you know what your majesty is thinking?"

Zhang Yi laughed when he heard this.

Although he didn't think he would be smarter than Zhu Yuanzhang, he could see the impact of a policy from the perspective of the future.

Only then did Zhang Yi discover that Uncle Huang was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's diehard fan, and he didn't bother to tell him more:
"If you talk about the emperor, I probably know a little better than my uncle!"

Old Zhu sneered, he knows himself?How does he know himself?
It's just that Zhang Yi's next words froze his smile.

"Because I regard the emperor as a human being!"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son waited for Zhang Yi's next words, Zhang Yi said:

"Whether it's uncle or brother Huang, the emperor is just a symbol in your hearts. He is sacred and inviolable, and must be wise and powerful. He is a god in your hearts, not a human being.

But if we strip away all the aura and treat His Majesty as a person of flesh and blood, then why do you think His Majesty will think about everything?
Can Emperor Qin predict his death in the second generation? Didn't he also misread Li Si?Tang Zong didn't talk about the stains of Xuanwumen. In the first half of his life, he ridiculed the king's taking pills, but later he was obsessed with pills because he was greedy for life and afraid of death?

Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, and even Your Majesty today, I do not deny that they are great kings, but kings cannot make mistakes or have their own flaws?
Treat His Majesty as a human being and admit that he is a mortal, then while acknowledging his greatness, he can also see his shortcomings! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. After a while, he asked:

"So you think that His Majesty's... pettyness is his... fault?"

Zhang Yi replied: "At least I think it is. It is impossible for His Majesty to understand the inferiority of human nature. It is just because of the relationship between birth and birth that everyone chooses to deal with problems in different ways.

His Majesty was born in the humble beginnings, and he witnessed too many life and death in that chaotic world where human life was regarded as trivial. Among other things, his parents did not have to die in the disaster at the end of the Yuan Dynasty...

It's not that the former imperial court didn't distribute relief food, but it's just that after layers of exploitation by officials, there wasn't much left when it was distributed to the common people!Witnessing his parents starving to death, how could the emperor not hate corrupt officials, even the group of officials?

This kind of hatred has caused him to instinctively lean towards more drastic means when he chooses to solve the problem, but His Majesty may not even be aware of it..."

Lao Zhu's complexion kept changing, Zhang Yi's words really hit his heart directly.

He himself may not have thought about it carefully. Perhaps his natural wariness against officials originated from the night when he knelt in front of his parents' dead bodies and wept bitterly.

Maybe there is no such thing, although life is a little bit harder, Zhu Chongba will not want to rebel...

On that day, the family broke up!
He was forced to separate from his brothers, each running around to survive. Lao Zhu has seen too many victims starve to death along the way, while those officials and gentlemen are superior...

The seeds of hatred were probably planted at that time, right?
Zhang Yi did not convince Zhu Yuanzhang with a lot of reasoning, but his remarks about treating Zhu Yuanzhang as a human being made Lao Zhu reflect on himself.

"That experience brought two indelible effects on the emperor, distrust of the world and longing for family... For the princes of Ming Dynasty, especially the princes of the current dynasty, they can be said to be the luckiest in all dynasties. princes, because their father is the father, not the emperor..."

Zhang Yi was still talking about his analysis, Zhu Biao was beside him, and couldn't help but sit up straight.

He was taught by a great Confucian like Song Lian since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with history books. The kings and princes of all dynasties are called father and son, but most of them are still monarchs and ministers, even... vaguely opposed!
The king needs the prince to inherit the world, but he is always guarding against the prince's too much power to make himself empty.

Under the distortion of power, the father is not like the father, and the son is not like the son.

That's why there is a saying that there is no family affection in the heavenly family.

But in the Zhu family under the protection of Zhu Yuanzhang's wings, at least the emperor has fulfilled the greatest responsibility of a father.

Perhaps as the younger brother of the Zhang family said, my father has witnessed the separation of relatives, so he cherishes the warmth of his family very much.

And he, Zhu Biao, is the happiest prince since ancient times.

"The emperor's cherishment of his family has created the happiest princes in Ming Dynasty. The suffering he has experienced has also made him sympathetic to the people, but for those scholars..."

Zhang Yi chuckled.

The warmth in the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao gradually dissipated with this sneer.

"Similarly because of this hatred, Your Majesty will magnify the evil of the world's scholars! Uncle asked me, is the emperor not as smart as I am, and not as experienced as a child with a yellow mouth? Zhang Yi naturally dare not compare with the current emperor, but people It’s hard to know yourself, even a wise monarch, there are times when the lights are dark!"

"So, Brother Huang wants fame. I personally oppose it. It's not like we can't survive. Why bother to be an official and seek death? Your Majesty, Xiang likes to use a knife to solve the problem. Being an official will kill you, who would love it?" Be who..."

Lao Zhu was rendered speechless by Zhang Yi's words.

Zhang Yi's analysis of him, he actually felt that there was a grain of truth in it.

It's hard for people to know, it's not that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand this truth, but his temperament is no better than Li Shimin's, even if someone under him sees his faults, he will never dare to speak out to him.

Probably it was Zhang Yi, a stinky boy, who was able to speak without restraint and without restraint.

Although he listened to some words, his mouth was not forgiving:
"As long as you have a lot of reason, if I can't say no to you, I can understand why Lao Zhang called you a villain. As long as you are so eloquent, if I were your father, I would be pissed off by you!"

If someone called him evil star before, it would probably arouse Zhang Yi's heart disease, but after he reached a certain level of reconciliation with Zhang Normal, he didn't care about it anymore.

He touched his head in embarrassment, but his face was full of complacency.

Old Zhu is angry:

"Fortunately, I just entered Yingtian Mansion, and when I heard about you and the Chang family, I rushed here without stopping!
In the end, I chatted with you kid, and I even got angry for no reason! "

Old Zhu spoke seriously, and Zhang Yi really believed it.

It turns out that the Huang family father and son are not in Nanjing City these days!
And they came looking for him non-stop, because of the Chang family's affairs?
