People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 62

Except for Zhang Yuchu, everyone present had heard of Zhang Yi, or what the old god said about Zhu Yuanzhang in Zhang Yi's dream.

The eternal emperor!
The last time Zhu Biao asked Zhang Yi, how does the Son of Heaven qualify to be on par with Emperor Qin and Han Wu?
Zhang Yi's answer was that the emperor hoped to take back the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and end the 455-year regret of the ancestors of the Han family.

This skill is worthy of the name of an emperor through the ages, but Lao Zhu is not satisfied.

A king must have Wenzhi and Wugong. To some extent, Wenzhi is more important than martial arts in the emperor's heart.

Lao Zhu is a conservative person, and his family holds a very important place in his heart. Now that he has become the emperor, Daming is his family in a sense.

How to pass on the family and let the children and grandchildren live a good life is the biggest thought in Lao Zhu's heart.

One emperor through the ages, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly wanted to achieve this kind of achievement in his heart, but if he just died in the second generation like the Qin Dynasty, what would be the use of the one emperor through the ages?
Zhu Yuanzhang has not forgotten that Zhang Yi got a glimpse of the fate of his two grandsons through the fate of Chang's girl.

One of them was imprisoned to death, what happened?

Therefore, Wenzhi often shows the rise and fall of a dynasty. Today, the emperor called Zhang Yi to come here, and the main purpose was to ask about it.

"Did you read something from your ancestor's mouth, or from that bible?"

Zhang Yi knew what he said that day, and probably couldn't hide it from this uncle, so he simply admitted it.

"Uncle is really a fan of the current Holy Majesty!"

Zhang Yi complained secretly, and then replied:
"Actually, it's very simple. It's not just the sentence to expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"The expulsion of the Tartars, according to my understanding, His Majesty has it at your fingertips. It is estimated that the Yuan Dynasty will not be able to keep it this year. In the next few years, my Daming will take back the land in the north step by step, and wipe out the Yuan Dynasty forces that remained in the Central Plains... ..., in terms of martial arts, His Majesty is absolutely unstoppable today!"

"Even in terms of culture and governance, His Majesty's overall management is not too bad, but it is a bit difficult to complete his historical mission..."

"Historical mission?"

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed this very fresh vocabulary, which is obviously not a normal word. When Zhang Yi evaluated Zhu Yuanzhang, he evaluated it from a superior perspective!
When he thought about it, it was actually normal.

Zhang Yi's point of view is actually the evaluation of him by future generations!

Right and wrong, the most objective!
He remembered what Empress Ma had said to him, that Li Shimin could learn from history and people.But there is no king who can learn from the future.

"What is His Majesty's historical mission?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked, his tone was also a little excited.

"Restore China!"

"What is China?"

"North and South are of one heart, and support the ancestral system together!"

"This seems to be what His Majesty is doing, and it doesn't seem to be difficult!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Yuchu. He looked at Zhang Yi and Zhu Yuanzhang asking and answering, and the children were eager to perform.

"Is it really not difficult?"

Zhang Yi really liked his elder brother cheering him on, so he took Zhang Yuchu's words and said:

"Even if Uncle Huang has never heard of Zhang Chang, His Majesty's old minister, he should take a look at the virtues of Lord Yan Sheng now..."

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head in thought. Zhang Chang was a not-so-good memory for Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the former dynasty, he was an official to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited him, reused him, and trusted him. He once became Zhu Yuanzhang's assistant and political affairs officer. It can be said that if he can live to the Ming Dynasty, he is a proper Zhongshu province. One big person.

But such a person was killed by Lao Zhu last year.

The reason is very simple. Although Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him, Zhang Chang had the past in mind. Many of his proposals were to deliberately mislead Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the incident, Lao Zhu seldom missed his old love and tried to persuade him.

But the other party left a sentence: Living in Jiangnan, thinking about Saibei.But he would rather die!
This person's betrayal also left a big shadow on Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Before Your Majesty conquered the north, we Han people lost more than 400 years of Youyun Sixteen States, and at the same time, what we lost was the sense of identity between the northern Han people and the southern Han people!
Although they have the same root, same language, and same race, the north has been occupied by foreign races for hundreds of years, especially when the Mongols entered the Central Plains. After the separation of the north and the south, the Han people were also divided into two classes!

In the past 80 years, not to mention the Mongolian Semu people bullying the Han people, how can the northerners look down on the southerners? "

"Those high-ranking officials from the north often said that they wanted to slaughter the people from the south, right? Yan Shenggong and Zhang Chang are just a microcosm of this era. If those high-ranking officials are still greedy for the power given by the previous court, then your majesty During the Northern Expedition, what was the reason for the people who resisted the Northern Expedition?"

"Lost land for a hundred years, but not only lost land, but also people's hearts!"

Zhang Yi's words hurt Zhu Yuanzhang a little.

But he didn't refute Zhang Yi. As an emperor, how could he not understand the situation of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty?

The Northern Expeditionary Army attacked all the way, and what they met on the road was not only the Mongolian team, but also the resistance of the northern people.

After hundreds of years of foreign rule, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to admit that Zhang Yi was right. The Han people and the southerners were supposed to be the people of the Han family, but in fact they were alienated from each other.

"Bridging the hearts of the northern and southern Han people who have been divided for hundreds of years is what Emperor Hongwu must do, and it is even more difficult than taking back the sixteen prefectures of Youyun!"

"If this is accomplished, it will be a thousand-year achievement!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was shaken, Zhang Yi's words gave him a feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the fog.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he had many ideas about the country he was about to rule, but he was still a little confused when it came to reality.

But after Zhang Yi cleared away the fog leading to the future for him, Zhu Yuanzhang also understood his mission.

He is not a person who can easily accept other people's ideas, and even because of his insidious personality, he is instinctively wary of suggestions from a stranger like Zhang Yi.

Just the words bridging the north and the south touched Zhu Yuanzhang's heart deeply. He knew that this was the right road and the grand road.

As long as there is a direction, it will be easy. In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, countless ideas about bridging the north and the south have already arisen.

Zhang Yi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in a daze, but smiled meaningfully. It seemed that Uncle Huang had put himself in the role of emperor, but they still underestimated the difficulty of this matter.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is obsessed with the authorities about his situation, as a great emperor, he is not blind to the trend of history, bridging the north and the south, and the man in the palace is actually doing it, but it's a pity that time and fate are also involved. , a very complex problem.

It was not until the 31st year of Hongwu, when the North-South List case broke out, that Emperor Hongwu realized that he had not solved this serious problem.

It's a pity that he never had the chance to make up for this matter. In the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang died.

After all, I still have regrets!
But since others didn't ask, Zhang Yi didn't plan to discuss this issue any further.

Uncle Huang fell into a mysterious state of thinking and ignored people, while Zhang Yi chatted with Zhu Biao on his own.

"Speaking of which, that Duke Yan Sheng will arrive soon, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts did not know when he turned from the bridge between the north and the south to Kong Kejian.

"Wait, what? It's Kong Kejian who came to the capital this time?"

Zhang Yi only reacted at this time, his face changed slightly.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"no!"

In the face of other people's questioning, Zhang Yi remained calm.

"The historical trajectory is deflected, or am I remembering wrong?"

Someone muttered in his heart!
