Chapter 70 Father and Son
When Zhu Jianjun stood in front of Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt like he was getting old. He pondered for a while and said, "You are dark, thin, and growing up. When you see your mother, you still don't know how sad you are."
Indeed, when Zhu Jianjun left the capital, although he was like a young master of Zhuoshishi, the Ming Dynasty royal family had always looked good.
If Taizu looked too bad, he would not have been able to marry Queen Ma. Even if he took a step back, Taizu looked a little different, and these generations have been corrected.
Zhu Qizhen himself is also handsome.
However, Zhu Jianjun is a bit delicate, even said that he is a female appearance. In later generations, he is a young brother who can make girls scream. However, in this era, the smell of rouge is too strong.
Too exquisite. It's like a piece of jade.
Now, two years ago, the wind and sand in the northwest and the scorching sun in the southwest have changed a lot for Zhu Jianjun.
His outline did not change, but his skin became rougher and darker. He seemed to be sucking seedlings and growing taller.
If we only look at the appearance, we will clearly have grown old in the eyes of the future.
But in Zhu Qizhen, I saw the changes in Zhu Jianjun's temperament.
He already has a somewhat calm temperament, but he looks like a person who does things, rather than a lady with no fingers touching the spring water.
Zhu Jianjun said, "Father, mother, don't know."
Zhu Qizhen smiled softly and said, "Tell me, how do you feel in the past two years?"
Zhu Jianjun pondered for a while and said, "The people are suffering."
Zhu Jianjun recalled that when he saw everything, a man who had taken a bath once in his life was nothing, lacking water. From birth, he had to cherish every drop of water.
Because every drop of water is their life.
This is something he never thought of.
In Guangxi, every Yao people in Datengxia must fight constantly in order to survive, and even though they know they can't beat them, they still have to fight.
During disaster relief in the south.
He saw with his own eyes that countless people were swept away by Hong Tao.
Only one or two wooden barrels floated above the water. There was the crying of the baby inside.
This baby is not only the orphan of his parents, but also the orphan of the entire village.
In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters.
For a sip of food, countless shameless things were happening. This was also the first time he was furious that he killed someone with his own hands.
Because some people's actions cannot be called human beings at all.
But so what?
The word "living" is sometimes extremely difficult. People on the verge of life and death cannot be judged by morality or by human beings.
It's nothing but a beast. It's a hungry beast.
Zhu Jianjun's previous activities were all in the capital and around the capital.
Although there are some villages around the capital, the Shuntian Prefecture may not be as good as the Jiangnan over the years, but it is also one of the few rich places in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and it cannot be said that there were no poor people, but it was definitely impossible to have such a miserable human relationship. Even this year's disaster, under the control of Li Xian, the grain prices in Beijing did not grow much.
Many people's lives are not affected.
And those people in dire straits are basically two worlds compared to those under the city of Beijing.
It’s like a first-tier city and a deep mountain, it seems like it’s not in the same world.
Zhu Jianjun really witnessed these things with his own eyes and suffered a great shock in his heart, which made it happen now.
Zhu Qizhen felt a little relieved.
Now Zhu Jianjun has witnessed the reality of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes.
Only by knowing what the lower class is like can we manage this country well.
The world of Ming Dynasty is not only written in the memorials of Jinyiwei Dongchang, but also in the memorials of ministers, but between heaven and earth.
Although the flood this year is huge, it is not the biggest.
In the fourth year of Zhengtong, Beijing was almost flooded.
In Zhu Qizhen's memory, there will be disasters almost every year, and every disaster may not be much easier than today's disaster.
Only by knowing what the bottom of the Ming Dynasty looks like can we not be deceived by a group of praise.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly remembered that he checked Yang Shiqi's conversation with the Empress Dowager. He said in his heart: "Indeed, as an emperor, he has no ability. It is enough to have such compassion and kindness, to be a successful monarch."
Zhu Jianjun talked for a long time, and only said that his mouth was a little dry before he stopped. Seeing this, Huai'en immediately served tea.
Zhu Jianjun took a sip and said, "Father, why is this the world like this?"
This is also Zhu Jianjun's long-standing doubt.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were boasting about the prosperous era, and it seemed that after the Hongxuan rule of this dynasty, there would be another orthodox prosperity.
Zhu Jianjun heard a lot and believed it a little.
If the northwest and southwest are still at the corners of the Ming Dynasty, they were not valued before, Zhu Jianjun knew very early that this place was a poor place.
However, along the Yangtze River where he was disaster relief, it was the essence of the Ming Dynasty.
But it still looks like this.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Song Wenyanbo said that the court and the literati share the world, and this is the fundamental reason. Any sound you can hear, whether written in memorials, in Mingbao, or in various classics, is done by the literati and officials, and they want you to know."
"It's their voice, but many people can't make sounds."
Zhu Jianjun remembered many people, and for a moment he felt a little sad, saying, "Father, is there no way?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "No, this is the emperor's responsibility."
"Since the founding of this dynasty, the monarchy has been so powerful that it has never been better than Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu has done such a big thing and has repeatedly launched major cases. There are many criticisms among the scholars, but they still have no choice but to treat Emperor Taizu? Why do you think it is?"
Zhu Jianjun said, "It was my Emperor Taizu Gao, a citizen of Huaiyou, who lifted up his clothes and had a world of people for more than ten years. All the will of heaven and man will return to him. How dare you make any strange words?"
Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly when he heard this. His ancestors worshipped him, and it seemed that every Chinese had it. Even if the common people were cool at night and swung their banana fan, they said, "What are my ancestors?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "It's right, right, how could Emperor Taizu win the world?"
Zhu Jianjun naturally heard Zhu Qizhen’s implication and said, “What does Father mean?”
In fact, there are many discussions about how Emperor Taizu won the world. Zhu Jianjun has seen a lot. Now he can see that Zhu Qizhen’s meaning is naturally not the same as other families.
Zhu Qizhen said: "You have worshipped the ancestral tombs all the way here. Have you ever seen the inscriptions of the ancestral tombs?"
Zhu Jianjun said, "I have seen it."
Although Zhu Jianjun did not go to see him as a prince, he also went to see him when he passed by, and naturally he had seen the inscription on the ancestral tomb.
This inscription was written by Emperor Taizu.
Zhu Qizhen said: "The suffering Emperor Taizu suffered before he rose up, and the people you see are similar and similar, not only without similarity, but even worse."
The tragic life experience of Emperor Taizu is really terrible. The inscription of Emperor Taizu is also the best article among his so-called articles, true feelings and touching.
"It is precisely because Emperor Taizu knew the sufferings of the people, and he removed what they had to do, and made them good, so that the people could be safe. Taizu's troops were the best military discipline among the rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty."
"Where people pass, the people are in custody."
"These people who cannot speak, Emperor Taizu said and spoke for him, and then he could make the world come true and the country that is now in the Zhu family."
"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, not the hearts of the gentry, but the hearts of the people. Otherwise, with the strength of Qin, one man will be difficult, and seven temples will fall into tears. It is laughable to people."
"This is also the reason why I let you penetrate the people. Remember that no matter when in the future, you must remember this matter. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty must speak for those who cannot speak and those who cannot speak."
"Only in this way can the country be protected forever."
"This is also the original intention of my Emperor Taizu Gao's ancestral system."
When Zhu Jianjun heard Zhu Qizhen say this, his heart was like a big bell and the things he didn't know before became clear, he immediately got up, knelt on the ground, and said, "My son remember this matter, and I will never forget it in this life."
