Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Zhu Yuanzhang is really popular.

Su Jing's current words have already touched his bottom line.

As an emperor, Lao Zhu created the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and what he wanted to do most was to pass on the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation.

It is not a simple inheritance, but an emperor who can control the affairs of the court like himself.

But what Su Jing said seemed as if the emperors after the Ming Dynasty would become weaker and weaker.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that are natural laws and cannot be helped."

Although Su Jing knew that Lao Zhu was angry, she was not afraid.

Be cowardly when you should be cowardly, but you must not be cowardly when you shouldn't be cowardly.

Lao Zhu is a naughty person to say the least.

When he is happy, you can laugh and curse. Anyway, his tolerance is very high.

But if he is angry, he must not show weakness and beg for mercy.

This is not to say that being tough will be fine, but if you act weak, you will basically have no chance of being forgiven.

"Tell me! We would like to hear what the laws of nature you Su Jing say are!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Su Jing with a serious look on his face.

Su Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Let me ask you a few questions first."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, you're like a girl!"

Lao Zhu obviously couldn't wait any longer and urged.

Su Jing said calmly: "Is this the first question? I want to ask Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty think that in the Ming Dynasty today, whether the civil servants or military generals are more prosperous?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised by this question.

But he believed in Su Jing, so he still replied: "Of course it's military generals. We command armies to fight in the world, and most of them are military generals fighting on the front lines. Among the heroes we reward, most of them are military generals."

Su Jing smiled and said: "So, the reason why military generals are more prosperous is because there are many battles in the world, and military generals can more easily get credit, and they will naturally be rewarded for their merits. Civil servants mostly provide advice, although there are also people like the Honesty Bo Hanguo Gong , but after all, they are still a minority.”

"Then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what will happen next? Although the South Japanese and the North are all troubles to the Ming Dynasty, they don't need many generals."

After Su Jing finished speaking, she was not in a hurry and poured herself another cup of tea.

Some things are more appropriate for Lao Zhu to figure out on his own.

At first, Lao Zhu's face was indeed a little confused.

Because what Su Jing said seems to have little to do with the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

But soon, Lao Zhu realized the problem.

"Su Jing, what you mean is that when the world is settled, the people will focus on recuperation and recuperation. Even if the generals want to make meritorious deeds, they won't have so many battles to fight, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing and frowned. He knew a little about the problem, but not much.

After Su Jing took a sip of tea, she suddenly felt the urge to urinate and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, wait for me, I'll go to Xiao Gong."

Without waiting for Lao Zhu's consent, Su Jing had already rushed out.

The urge to urinate comes and it's hard to hold it back.

Lao Zhu was a little dumbfounded when he saw Su Jing running away in a hurry.

Su Jing ran so suddenly. At this critical moment, there was nothing more to say, and Lao Zhu was extremely anxious.

But there was no other way but to wait obediently for Su Jing Xiaogong to come back.

Fortunately, Su Jing was young and Xiao Gong was fast. It only took a cup of tea for him to come back.

There are several toilets in this huge Renyuanbo Mansion.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Su Jing sat back in the pavilion again.

Lao Zhu urged: "Stop talking nonsense, go on, we are in a hurry!"

Su Jing nodded and said, "Yes, what did you say just now?"

"The general has no battles to fight."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately reminded Su Jing.

Su Jing said quickly: "Yes, this general will soon be faced with a situation where he has nothing to fight. At the same time, because the country needs to develop, there will definitely be more internal affairs, and there will be a lot more civil servants participating in governance."

"In this way, the power of the civil servants in the court will soon become stronger. This is a natural law."

Lao Zhu carefully considered what Su Jing said. After a while, he expressed doubts and said: "So what? No matter how powerful the civil servants are, they must obey the emperor. In this world, the emperor is the most respected!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was a bit simple, but Su Jing did not laugh at it.

There is no way, if Lao Zhu is the emperor, who dares not to listen?

It's like when Jordan is a coach, what should he do when faced with three outflanks? In Jordan's eyes, it's just like this, just score.

But for most players, only Mr. Qiao can do this.

It’s not that they don’t want to do it, it’s that I can’t do it!

A generation of heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor who governed his subordinates obediently, would never have imagined that his descendants would bring the emperor to such a level of humiliation.

He even had to hang himself from a crooked neck tree!

That means Lao Zhu is gone, otherwise he would definitely beat Chongzhen to death.

Su Jing did not judge Lao Zhu's statement, but said: "Your Majesty, if there is no battle to fight in the world, the generals will be weak, but there is one more important thing."

"How did the Ming Dynasty select talents? If you want to govern such a vast territory, you will definitely need a large number of talents."

"This is the first year of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. Although I said that this time the imperial examination will definitely not satisfy His Majesty, the selection of candidates for the imperial examination will definitely be the mainstream in the future of the Ming Dynasty."

"Not only during your Majesty's reign, but also in the Ming Dynasty after that, the imperial examination will continue to select talents for the country."

"The talents selected scientifically are all scholars. They are born to be civil servants. As a result, there will be a continuous succession of civil servants. Officials in various ministries of the Ming Dynasty will gradually be occupied by scholars."

"As for generals, we can't let them take the imperial examination together with scholars, right? And the normal path to military promotion will become more and more difficult because there are no battles to fight."

"Under the circumstances of the Ming Dynasty and the entire imperial court system, the number of civilian officials will gradually overwhelm the generals. Your Majesty should be able to understand this."

The imperial examination is a very great initiative, but nothing can have only advantages and no disadvantages.

It just depends on whose point of view you are standing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. What Su Jing said was so clear that he could not understand it.

Su Jing picked up the teapot but put it down again.

Don't drink this tea anymore, or you'll have to go to the toilet again.

The small pavilion in the inner courtyard suddenly became quiet. A gust of wind blew by, and leaves fell, fluttering in the yard.

"Su Jing, even so, as long as the emperor has the skills to control his subordinates, he won't let those ministers turn upside down."

Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice sounded. Su Jing nodded and said: "Of course."

Regarding the most powerful emperor in the Ming Dynasty, he was actually not Zhu Yuanzhang.

It must be the monastic emperor Jiajing.

During his decades in office, he only practiced Taoism, but he also mastered the art of balancing the court very well.

However, Emperor Jiajing would definitely not be the successor that Lao Zhu wanted.

"Your Majesty, in this dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years, it is impossible for every emperor to be a wise king. This was the case in the Tang and Song dynasties."

Su Jing said lightly: "Tang Taizong Li Shimin was so talented and strategist, and he never thought that Tang Xuanzong and Li Longji would become so mediocre in his later years. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was the founder of the country, and he would not have thought that there were so many mediocre kings in the Song Dynasty, even There are also emperors like Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou who were greedy for life and afraid of death."

"The Ming Dynasty is now in its infancy. His Majesty is naturally talented and strategist, and the prince is also talented in both civil and military affairs, and he has plans in mind. But what happens after that? When the throne changes, there will always be a new emperor."

"Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin, don't they want their successors to be extremely wise? But have they done it?"

As the founding emperor, it is normal to want the dynasty he founded to last forever, and Su Jing understands it.

But thinking is one thing, doing is another.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became obviously ugly, but he restrained himself in the end.

There is no way, what Su Jing said does make sense.

Useless excuses will only show weakness.

"His Majesty."

Su Jing thought for a while and then said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done. There were a lot of vacancies for everything."

"A large amount of land and a large number of official positions can all be arranged and rewarded by your Majesty."

"But the Ming Dynasty cannot repeat the founding of the country forever. The land and official positions will all be filled eventually."

"At that time, as the most powerful promotion channel, the imperial examination will become a crucial existence."

"Scholars will stick together, pass on from master to apprentice, or even marry to form blood ties, and a noble family will be formed."

"Ordinary people have become more and more difficult to get ahead. All resources are in the hands of nobles and aristocratic families. Once the emperor of the Ming Dynasty becomes weak, they will immediately become stronger."

"Of course, it is undeniable that they also played a certain role in promoting the power of the Ming Dynasty. But when scholars finally took control of power, how could they let military generals get ahead?"

"People are selfish. Scholars wish that the Ming Dynasty would be filled with their own people. If the emperor said he wanted to go to war at this time, would your Majesty think the civil servants would dissuade him? After all, as long as there is a war, it means that the day of the military generals has come. "

"Furthermore, as the Ming Dynasty's national power is strong, it is bound to continue to recuperate and accumulate strength. During this period of development, the people will definitely live an extremely happy and comfortable life. If the emperor wants to go to war at this time, the people will have to tighten their belts. Your Majesty feels that the people Will you support it?”

Su Jing originally wanted to continue to say something, but after thinking about it, she shut up.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang's face had become increasingly ugly.

"If we don't send troops at this time, it will cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty in the future. We don't believe that no one in the whole court can see clearly."

Lao Zhu seemed to be unwilling to do so.

The time he was talking about was naturally not the present, but the peak of the Ming Dynasty's national power as Su Jing said.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a question of whether you can see clearly or not."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Then tell me! Why is this?"

Su Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty, when the Yuan people destroyed the Song Dynasty, why did so many people surrender? Why did many aristocratic families open their doors to welcome the Yuan Dynasty?"

"In the final analysis, their interests and the emperor's interests are not the same. If the Song Dynasty is destroyed, they can still maintain their status and even gain more benefits because they surrendered early."

"In the final analysis, changing the emperor will not have much impact on them."

Su Jing finally made it clear.

Zhu Yuanzhang almost leaned back on the stool after listening to Su Jing's words.

Because I understood, I felt more helpless.

"How dare they do this since they have received the emperor's favor!"

Lao Zhu roared angrily, his voice very fierce.

Even Butler Li, who was waiting outside, heard it, which scared him into a cold sweat.

What on earth was his master talking to the emperor? There was such a movement.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Even if these things happen, they will be a matter for future generations. There is really no need to get angry about future generations."

Su Jing quickly poured a cup of tea and delivered it to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea and talked to Su Jing for a long time. He was also a little thirsty.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lao Zhu's anger disappeared a lot.

"Su Jing, is there nothing we can do about this?"

Lao Zhu looked at Su Jing again, hoping that Su Jing would come up with some good ideas.

Now it is no longer just about solving the problem of Beilu.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, there are too many lessons learned from this history. This is the law of nature, there is nothing we can do about it."

"My suggestion is that Your Majesty, please take a closer look. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, flowers bloom and wither, people will grow old, sick and die, and dynasties will also rise and fall."

"At least the Ming Dynasty is now prosperous. Your Majesty has done a good enough job. You can't do anything behind your back."

Let an emperor be more open-minded, and it was Zhu Chongba. Su Jing never thought that such a day would happen in her two lifetimes.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression flickered. After a while, he looked directly at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, I will arrange a task for you to solve the problem you mentioned, no matter what method you use!"

what?

Su Jing was startled and looked at Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, you can't joke with me, I can't do this!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "Su Jing, what are you refusing to do in such a hurry? We haven't finished talking yet. The task we gave you has no time limit. How old are you? If you can't think of it now, it doesn't mean that you can't think of it in the future. We can Wait, even if we are gone, let Biaoer continue to wait!"

Although Su Jing made it clear, Lao Zhu also realized that this matter could not be disobeyed.

But he is Zhu Chongba! He won't give in easily.

With a great talent like Su Jing in front of him, there is no reason to leave it alone. Since it was Su Jing who proposed it, let him find a way to solve it.

Su Jing was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that this matter would fall on him in the end.

This is not like digging a hole for yourself.

"Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for me!"

Su Jing lamented.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's not an ordinary matter, so how can I come to you, Su Jing. Think of a way, I believe you can do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Jing had no choice but to nod and accept.

The only thing worth being happy about may be that Lao Zhu has no time limit and progress requirements. (End of chapter)
