Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"If you have something to say, just say it straight, why are you hesitating?"

After hearing what His Majesty said, Queen Zhou relaxed and continued:

"I would like to give some advice to Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, leaving the palace once is too much of a waste.

I asked my servants to calculate it. The cost for us to go out to the palace once is equivalent to the annual expenses of a thousand families.

We are a heavenly family, and it is not easy for the people to support us.

Concubine... I beg Your Majesty, can you take back your plan?

Can we not leave the palace? "

However, the first half of what she said was reasonable.

By the second half, I was no longer confident.

After finishing speaking, he still looked uneasy, and even did not dare to look at the emperor's face...

Hearing the Queen's words, the concubines who were originally happy could not help but change their expressions to righteous expressions.

It's like they don't want to leave the palace...

this girl...

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly.

The things that were justified and justified were said by Queen Zhou as if they were prayers.

No matter how you teach, you can’t teach well?

……

Zhu Youjian looked around, and after seeing everyone's expressions, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

He stretched out his hand to pull the crown prince and Prince Ding, and warned not only the two of them, but also everyone present:

“You all remember, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

No matter how much others tell you, it’s better to go out and see for yourself.

People's mouth will lie to you, and their body will lie to you!

Even what you see and hear yourself will lie to you!

However, the only thing that cannot fool you is progress. "

The prince seemed to understand. Some people understood, but some didn't...

Zhu Youjian's face was solemn and he taught seriously:

"What is progress?

Progress must have a reference!

For example, the houses of the people, the clothes of the people, the prosperity of the market...

A normal society must undergo some new changes every ten years.

This year, go out and take a look at the population of the people in the village, the number of houses, and the condition of the houses...

You have to remember what you see!

Because these are your references!

Ten years from now, go out and have a look~!

The population in the village, the number of houses, the condition of the houses...

To a large extent, what you see yourself will not lie to you!

If these data related to people's livelihood have not made progress - then your governance will not be what others tell you!

If there is no progress among the people for ten years, and others still praise you as a holy king, this dynasty is a prosperous age...

Well, these people are lying to you!

I hope you remember - a benevolent king is not a compliment from hundreds of officials!

But the prosperity of the people!

Only when the people live a good life can you be a qualified king! "

If the prince realizes something.

He thought of Wang Lian's article in the "Da Ming Evening News".

It seems that Wang Gonggong also means the same thing...

It turns out that only the common people are the most qualified people to evaluate the king!

The prince understands...

Zhu Cijiong's eyes widened.

He remembered what the children at his maternal grandfather's house (Zhang Yan's maiden's house) said when they were comparing themselves to each other...

"My family just built a new house..."

"I have added a few cows to my family..."

The friends who were playing with them also said that they had bought some new clothes...

I made a new bed in my home...

……

On the way to Handu, he saw rows of people struggling towards Handu, holding on to branches.

The aunt told him that because he came to Handu, he would not starve to death...

On the road to the north, people are dying of hunger everywhere!

Passed Ye County.

My father asked officials to help the people, and there were numerous gathering points and porridge shacks everywhere.

It’s hard to see people lying dead on the roadside anymore...

After arriving in Nanyang, the black shell on the people's faces gradually faded and turned into blue.

The aunt said:

That's called having a pretty face...

When the black shell on the faces of the refugees fades away and turns blue, it means that the people have come back to life...

……

This is progress, right?

……

The naughty Zhu Cijiong put his arms around the mischievous little girl.

He tilted his head and looked at his father quietly.

It turns out that this is called progress...

According to what my father said, can a good monarch only be achieved when the entire people can make progress?

Zhu Cijiong thought of the outside of the palace where his aunt often visited.

During this year, the capital of Han Dynasty became increasingly prosperous.

perhaps……

This is what father said Renjun did!

……

The naughty Zhu Cijiong had a thoughtful look on his face at this moment.

The aunt told him that if he becomes a vassal in the future, he must treat the people under his rule well...

It turns out that what the aunt wanted him to be was a benevolent and righteous prince!

Zhu Cijiong turned his head and looked at Zhang Yan, the bright light in his eyes flashing...

Auntie, don’t worry, my child understands...

……

There was a smile on Zhang Yan's lips.

The Zhu family raised up the people, and only by not forgetting their roots can they live up to Taizu's intention of raising an army and giving the people peace and well-being!

bright--

The sun and the moon too!

Like the sun, it shines on all things and gives rise to all prosperity.

As bright and gentle as the moon, it nourishes the earth.

This is Ming!

Like the sun and moon shining on the earth, like the gentle breeze blowing over the mountains.

The Zhu family started from humble beginnings, and it is the duty of a man in the Zhu family not to forget the humble beginnings.

The emperor did it...

A smile bloomed on Zhang Yan's face...

……

Zhou looked at the emperor blankly.

Have people added new assets?

How is this done?

Didn't Your Majesty say that the wealthy gentry used clever means to enrich themselves and make the people miserable?

Why do we say that progress can only be achieved when private wealth increases day by day?

Your Majesty not only wants the gentry not to invade the people, but also wants the people to progress and add new assets...

Isn’t this a contradiction?

……

Among the concubines, some have bright eyes, while others are ignorant...

……

Wei Guozheng, who was standing beside the emperor, had a smile on his face.

What the adoptive father said is right, His Majesty has the people of the world in his heart.

In order to ensure the well-being of your Majesty the people, I am willing to die protecting your Majesty!

Wei Guozheng smiled.

He bowed his head again and disappeared.

……

Zhu Youjian laughed, and everyone's reactions were visible in front of his eyes.

He pointed at Zhang Yan:

"Sister-in-law, was it your idea again?"

Zhou's eyes widened, her face full of astonishment.

The royal sister-in-law didn’t say a word...

Your Majesty is amazing!

Can you guess this?

Zhang Yan smiled and bowed:

"I misunderstood His Majesty's meaning."

Although the emperor once again seized the opportunity to interfere in politics, Zhang Yan was not worried at all.

She didn't say anything...

The girl from the Zhou family said, what are you doing to me, Zhang Yan?

I, Zhang Yan, didn’t say anything!

Although Zhang Yan bowed and saluted, her eyes were full of smiles.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand to let her get up, and said angrily:

“I knew it was your idea.

The queen could not have imagined so much! "

Zhang Yan smiled and said nothing, and stood up silently.

Queen Zhou looked at the emperor sadly...

That's horrible……

In His Majesty's eyes, I am just a vase who doesn't understand anything...
