Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 165 Going to the Northwest with Me
Zhu Youtang naturally knew what his son meant, so he taught his son Zunzun: "Young son, you have to remember that as a king, you can't abandon the public because of personal interests, let alone abandon food because of choking. The imperial court is so big, it is impossible for everything Follow your temperament and learn to do the right thing at the right time, this is the way to be a king."

Gently nodding his head, Zhu Houzhao said in a respectful and deep voice, "Your servant has been educated!"

I learned a trick from my father again.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youtang have been together for so long, and he has probably figured out his father's thinking and character.My father is different from me in two things, one is annoying and troublesome, and the other is soft-hearted and empathetic.It's troublesome, and this is reflected in the way Dad handles things.

Whether it's the Tang Bohu incident or the Qin Hong incident, both sides of the father's side will play a big role, and make peace with others. If you say it is high, it is the golden mean, and if it is low, it is peace.

The Tang Bohu incident was a compromise, and the Qin Hong incident is still a compromise. Since Qin Hong is innocent, why should he be dismissed from office?Was what he did in Guangdong just for nothing?Zhu Houzhao didn't want to say anything about Liu Jing's matter. You scrupled his personal feelings and cut his title. This is your emperor's business, but you can't abolish the public because of personal interests.

Can Qin Hong not deal with it?Even rewards?Dad didn't, so he directly hit a big board for each.

The reason why he dealt with it in this way is to talk about the second point of Dad, which is emphasizing feelings. This may be caused by his childhood experience. The lack of character made him pay special attention to feelings. From the things he did to his mother You can see it.It was even more obvious about Liu Jing's matter. Zhou Taihuang later begged for mercy, and he couldn't help it.

It may have something to do with not wanting to provoke a war between civil servants and nobles, but if it were Zhu Houzhao, he would definitely not do so.

The civil servants are not good, there is a problem, but Xungui will be fine?Not only is it the moth of the country, but also the mud cannot support the wall. You can see from the military strength of Ming Dynasty in these years and the Northwest this time. These people are simply unreliable. Hong's attitude is worth learning from Zhu Houzhao, you have to be thick-skinned, and you can't be arrogant, Zhu Houzhao thinks that it is enough for him to know this, and he doesn't need to learn other things from his father.

"Will Qin Hong go?" Zhu Houzhao looked at his father and asked hesitantly. This was really something he was worried about.

First of all, Qin Hong was wronged and felt uncomfortable. Secondly, he went to the Northwest, which was not a good job. The current situation in the Northwest, you say it is a mess, there is no problem at all.The most important thing is that Qin Hong is 76 this year. Such an old man is almost as good as wanting nothing, not half buried in the loess, but buried up to his neck.

Zhu Youtang looked at his son, sighed lightly, and said slowly after a long time: "He will go!"

Zhu Houzhao was silent. If Qin Hong really went, what would support him?The answer is simple, that is his love for this land, his love for this country.

Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said after a long silence, "Father, my son also wants to go!"

Hearing what his son said, Zhu Youtang didn't show any surprise at all. He just glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then nodded lightly: "I guessed it a long time ago, it's hard for you to say it now!"

Zhu Houzhao was silent again. Obviously, he couldn't hide his own thoughts from his father. Zhu Houzhao was at a loss for words for a while, and he didn't know how to continue.

"You have practiced martial arts since childhood, you are proficient in bows and horses, and you have also learned the art of war. I have seen you train soldiers in Xiyuan, and you have trained very well. I knew at that time that you don't want to be like me, an emperor who can only be in the palace. .I know that you want to learn from Emperor Taizong, I know that you have great ambitions in your heart, the Northwest is corrupt, and you want to go there. I know very well in my heart."

Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "It's because the father didn't do a good job, making the emperor worry about state affairs at such a young age."

"Father!" Zhu Houzhao said with a slightly dry voice: "My son, my son just wants to."

Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Zhu Youtang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said with a smile: "Father understands, from what you say, Father knows that you are worried, you are afraid, you are worried about Daming's future , you are afraid of Daming, I don't know why you are so afraid, but I know you are afraid."

Zhu Houzhao was silent, of course he was afraid, because he knew what this land would experience in the future, and what kind of pain it was.

Every posterity, when it comes to the death of the Ming Dynasty, is all mourning its misfortune and hating its indisputableness. When it comes to the history of blood and tears in modern times, it is full of tears, which cannot be let go.

What Zhu Houzhao wants to do is not the continuation of the Great Ming Dynasty, nor is it the foundation of the emperor for future generations. There is no eternal dynasty in the world, and there is no sustainable foundation of the emperor, but he does not want this land to experience everything in the previous life.Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao raised his head to look at Zhu Youtang, bowed and said, "Father, I shouldn't be like this!"

"My Ming Dynasty should be where the sun and the moon shine, and there is the land of the Ming Dynasty. In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the sun will never set. My Ming Dynasty will open and close, conquer the world, be fearless, and far surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties! Taizu The emperor expelled the barbarians, restored China, set up guidelines and disciplines, and relieved the people of Si. Emperor Taizong conquered Mongolia five times and conquered the world. His sons and ministers are willing to inherit the behest of Taizu Taizong."

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's serious face, Zhu Youtang smiled slightly, his eyes were slightly red and said: "My son has great ambitions, good, good!"

"Go to the Northwest now, listen more, see more, learn more, learn from Zu Ti, not Zhao Kuo, you are still young, you will definitely be able to do everything you said!"

Zhu Houzhao's mood was agitated, but his face was still serious and he said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not let my father down!"

Zu Ti, the origin of the idiom "Wearing the chicken and dancing", the general Zu Ti in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very ambitious when he was young. Every time he talked about the current situation with his friend Liu Kun, he was always impassioned and full of righteous indignation. In order to serve the country, they heard the chicken in the middle of the night. Ming, just put on clothes and get up, draw a sword to practice martial arts, and exercise hard.Spring goes and winter comes, cold comes and summer goes, and it never stops.

Hard work pays off, after long-term hard study and training, they finally become all-rounders capable of both literary and military skills.

Zu Ti and Liu Kun finally realized their ideal of serving the country. There is a sentence in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi": Or to cross the river, generously swallow Hu Jie.It was Zuti.

The meaning of Zhu Youtang's words is to tell Zhu Houzhao that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. As for Zhao Kuo, Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to comment. Anyway, he feels that Zhao Kuo is quite wronged. The battle of Changping cannot be won, not only Zhao Kuo The problem of one person is the problem of the whole country of Zhao. It took more than three years for Qin and Zhao to confront each other on the battlefield of Changping before the final decisive battle happened.

In the previous three years of confrontation, the Zhao army was always commanded by the veteran Lian Po. The reason why the veteran Lian Po was on the defensive was because he could not beat the Qin army.Zhao Wang decided to temporarily change the coach because Zhao's national strength could no longer support it.At that time, even the state of Qin appeared: men fight, women fight, and the granary in Guanzhong is empty.What's more, Zhao's national power is far inferior to Qin's. Even if Zhao Wang doesn't change his commander and Lian Po continues to confront him, Zhao Jun must be the first to collapse.

The national strength is not as good as others, no matter how you fight, what you fight is the national strength, especially the protracted war. The current situation of Ming Dynasty is that the national strength is not enough, and it cannot afford to fight a war of attrition.

However, the national power of Ming Dynasty is fake, not real. In fact, with the size of Ming Dynasty, there is no country in the world that can survive Daming.

In Mongolia in northern Xinjiang, as long as the Ming Dynasty sent [-] cavalry to wander back and forth on the grassland every year, chasing and beating their buttocks, not giving them time to graze, and not giving them a grazing environment, within three years, they would definitely collapse.Leaving aside the military and people's hearts, their economic conditions will collapse first, and they will have nothing to eat, so there is no war to fight.

At that time, all they can do is to move to Mobei, or fight with Ming Dynasty, or surrender to Ming Dynasty. There is absolutely no third way to go.

"If I have money, I will do it like this!" Zhu Hou took a picture of the Qianqing Palace, thinking so in his heart.

Back in his own Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao turned to Liu Jin and said, "Go, bring Wang Shouren to this palace."

Wang Shouren was asked by Zhu Houzhao to go to the East Palace. It can be said that he just had nothing to do all day long. Zhu Houzhao was also busy these days, and the salt administration and other matters were quite noisy, which made Zhu Houzhao take too much care of Wang Shouren.Of course, Wang Shouren is not a person who can live at leisure. If you are busy, he is also busy. He will find work by himself. These days he goes to the barracks in Xiyuan the most.

Every time Zhu Houzhao went to the western suburbs to practice with those soldiers, Wang Shouren must be there, and sometimes he practiced with them.

Zhu Houzhao had seen Wang Shouren's riding and archery skills before, and they were really good. If he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, maybe the great Confucianism would disappear, but there would be an extra battlefield veteran.

When Wang Shouren was found by Zhu Houzhao, he didn't know what to do in his heart. He was thinking about his own business, and he had heard about the Northwest. He was thinking about going to the Northwest for a while.The East Palace is really meaningless, His Royal Highness is good, but I am wasting my time here!

"Come here?" Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Shouren, then nodded and said, "I need you for something."

Wang Shouren bowed slightly and said, "Please give orders, Your Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "I have already asked my father for an order. This time I will lead the people from Xiyuan to the three sides. I want to take you with me. The governors of the other three sides have already been decided. , it’s Qin Hong, by the way, it’s okay for you to go together, right?”

His Royal Highness is going to Sanbian?Wang Shouren was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said, "I have no problem, when will I leave?"

"Let's go tomorrow!" Zhu Houzhao said without thinking.
