The Nameless of the Common Clans

After his mother passed away, according to the etiquette, Chen Mo had to observe mourning. However, Chen Mo was now the emperor, and no one would say anything if he didn't want to.

However, surprisingly, after Chen Mo returned to the court, he followed this etiquette and let the prince continue to supervise the country and handle state affairs. During this period, Chen Mo brought several grandchildren with him, built a shed on Beimang Mountain, and began to observe mourning for his mother. At the same time, he also began to teach these grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In fact, these children are not small anymore. The oldest, Chen Min, is the emperor's eldest grandson, the eldest son of Chen Jin and Bu Lianshi. He is now thirteen years old, and the youngest is only four years old.

Chen Mo's seven wives and concubines also moved here, without bringing maids. Every day, Juan'er and Yunsi cooked with their granddaughters, while Chen Mo opened a piece of wasteland with his grandchildren and took them to farm. While farming, Chen Mo would tell these grandchildren some principles of farming, breaking down the principles in the book and integrating them into life. This worldly experience is knowledge. At Chen Mo's current level, anything can be taught, and the things he talks about are all astronomy and geography, but they can be explained in simple terms so that these children can understand.

At noon, he will teach them martial arts, not for how powerful they are, but just to strengthen their bodies.

These little kids who have been living a life of luxury since childhood naturally complained bitterly when they first started to live such a farming life. However, although their grandfather, the emperor, is kind on weekdays, he is intimidating without anger when he gets serious. Not to mention them, when Chen Mo really gets cold, Chen Jin, Chen Zheng, who are now independent and even in charge of government affairs, are all scared from the bottom of their hearts when facing Chen Mo. It is not difficult to calm these little ghosts.

"Your Majesty, I brought back some game to replenish the bodies of the princes." Dian Wei dragged a tiger corpse back and grinned from a distance.

"Why are you wandering in the mountains again?" Chen Mo asked Chen Min to welcome Dian Wei in. Several little guys looked at the tiger corpse timidly and did not dare to come forward. Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei with dissatisfaction: "You are also seventy years old this year."

"Seventy-two, Your Majesty." Dian Wei laughed.

Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei's white hair and shook his head, saying, "You still know that I gave you a title and asked you to live in the city and accompany your children and grandchildren, but you didn't go. What are you doing here?"

"Old Dian is used to being by His Majesty's side. Without His Majesty nearby... the old general can't sleep well, always worried that His Majesty will be assassinated!" Dian Wei laughed.

"You old man, don't care about your children and grandchildren?" Chen Mo glared at him and said.

"What do you care about? Old Dian has all his skills in these hands. As for knowledge, he is not as good as his grandson's father. A bunch of little kids do nothing all day long, and they are annoying." Dian Wei panted and arranged the tiger corpse. He looked at Chen Min and other children and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, how about letting the imperial grandchildren leave first?"

"No need!" Chen Mo waved his hand and looked at the grandchildren and said: "There is more to this world than fine clothes and delicious food. It's time to let them see blood. If they are afraid of a tiger corpse, they will not be able to deal with the tigers and wolves in the court in the future."

"Grandchildren are not afraid~" Hearing what Chen Mo said, Chen Min and other older people quickly stood up and said proudly.

"Just watch if you're not afraid." Chen Mo glanced at the little guys and continued to tinker with his stuff, something he learned from his dream. The progress of the times cannot be solved by an invention. Even if it is invented, it is just a strange trick if it cannot be popularized. In addition, Chen Mo has calmed down and carefully thought about the current environment these days. The Ming Dynasty does not have the conditions to enter that era. Farming is still the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. What Chen Mo can do is to take out some things that can change the times, and record and preserve them by using his status as the emperor. When the conditions are ripe in the future, the descendants of the future generations can develop rapidly.

Chen Min and other little guys watched the tiger corpse being dug up and skinned by Dian Wei nervously. The bloody process is self-evident, especially Meng Hu's eyes that were not closed and stared at them. That deterrent force is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Grandpa Huang, why do you want to kill the tiger?" The youngest grandson couldn't bear it and couldn't help asking.

Chen Mo fiddled with his own equipment and asked, "Do you think it's abominable for the evil tiger to eat sheep and people?"

"Yes, I see. Grandpa Huang said that the evil tiger should be killed?" The little grandson seemed to understand what Chen Mo said.

"If it doesn't eat these, it will starve to death. Tigers and wolves are born to eat meat. You think it's cruel, but in their eyes, this is life. They also have to feed their children." Chen Mo smiled.

"Then... is the evil tiger good or evil?" The little grandson was a little confused for a while. In his young concept, it was difficult to understand the standard of good and evil.

"It depends on what you are. If you are a human, then he is hungry. If you are a tiger, you are its child, and the evil person is there~" Chen Mo pointed at Dian Wei.

"Your Majesty!" Dian Wei looked at the little prince who was about to cry, and said with a bit of a smile: "Is it too early to tell the little prince this now?"

"He asked, I answered, in life, not all answers will satisfy you, when the answers to all the questions around you are satisfactory, there are only two results." Chen Mo took an iron plate and grinded it with a file while laughing: "Either he is well protected, or the people around him are lying to him, either way, it's not good for him."

"I understand the second one, but being well protected..." Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo with some doubts.

"No one can protect him for a lifetime. People will die. If you protect him too well, you will either be arrogant or unable to distinguish between good and evil. You can say that this is a piece of rough jade, but the raw jade needs to be polished and grown, and by then it will grow. , the price to pay is too high, but most of the rough jade that has not been polished out, I usually call it waste, just like these iron filings that have been ground away." Chen Mo turned to look at Dian Wei and said, "What have you seen? Those who bully the market and bully men and women are protected in this way. One day, when the protection is no longer available, they will die. "

For the first time, Dian Wei understood where those bullies came from. Chen Mo's words made him a little subversive, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was what happened.

"No, Your Majesty, the way you teach your grandsons now is different from how you taught the princes back then." Dian Wei suddenly remembered that when Chen Mo taught Chen Jin, Chen Zheng and Chen Rui's three sons, they were guided by instructions and rarely said anything. So straightforward.

"It's different." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "There are more people now, I am old, and my energy is not as good as before. You want me to follow the instructions one by one, do you want to exhaust me to death?"

The most important thing is that his mentality is different. Even if he keeps warning himself that the catastrophe in the future has nothing to do with him and is still far away, Chen Mo still has a sense of urgency in his heart. It shows that when he taught Chen Jin and Chen Zheng, he was a A loving father and a strict father, Chen Mo is now a strict teacher.

Grandmothers like Cai Yan and Yun Si, on the other hand, loved each of these grandchildren very much, but Chen Mo just pretended not to see them, and the yin and yang complemented each other.

The tiger carcass had been dug up, and Dian Wei began to cook the tiger meat with the help of Juan'er and Diao Chan. Finally, he was politely invited by Cai Yan to chat with Chen Mo. He always felt that Chen Mo seemed to be much stricter after he ascended the throne and became emperor. I felt a lot anxious, but sometimes it was hard for Cai Yan and the others to ask questions about many things.

"Your Majesty, I have two things to tell you when I come here." Dian Wei sat next to Chen Mo and watched Chen Mo polish the iron plate and prepare the powder like an alchemist. He was a little confused as to why Chen Mo did this.

"Tell me." Chen Mo nodded.

"The prince and the ministers of the court asked the old general to ask, when will your majesty return to court?" Dian Wei asked.

"The period of filial piety has expired, what happened? Something happened in the court?" Chen Mo asked.

"No, the prince is very popular." Dian Wei shook his head.

"That's good. If he can do well in these three years, I will pass the throne to him. These three years can also be regarded as a test for him. If he passes, he will be ready to succeed." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

"Why!?" Dian Wei stared at Chen Mo in astonishment. He finally conquered the world and became emperor. He only served for less than two years and he was thinking of abdicating? Dian Wei didn't understand Chen Mo's thinking.

"Jin'er is not young anymore. I have been in power for too long, which is not good for him. He must have enough time to sort out the government affairs. If he waits until I pass away to pass the throne, what trouble will happen then? You Think about the Han dynasty, how many emperors came to power directly without any study? I have had rights, and I have conquered the world, but if you have to choose between a better world and me continuing to control the imperial power, I will choose to give way. The world is more stable. Now that I have enough time, I can rest early. If the prince is willing to keep me, I will stay in Luoyang for a few more years. If he feels that it is too much, I will travel around the world. "

Thinking of the outcome of the Ming Dynasty in the dream, although he knew that this outcome was irreversible, Chen Mo still hoped that the Ming Dynasty could continue for a few more years.

Don't wait until death to pass on the throne. This is the best way Chen Mo can think of. In this way, he, the former emperor, will have enough time and opportunity to correct the shortcomings of the new emperor, and at the same time, he will have plenty of time to train his grandchildren. .

But this model is only for now. Chen Mo knows very well that even if he sets this rule, if the subsequent emperor is unwilling to delegate power, there are many ways to avoid this problem. The emperor is not the emperor, but he still has the power in his hands. problem, so Chen Mo can only be an example. As for whether the younger generations can follow suit, Chen Mo has no extravagant expectations, but even if it can be maintained for three generations, it is enough. Even just Chen Mo's generation is enough. In this way, it can at least ensure that the level of the emperor of the third generation is not high. Worse, as for the fourth generation, it is not under Chen Mo's control.
