Chapter 316 The Disaster of Five Mosquitoes

But now, after listening to the madam's guidance, the big stone pressing on his chest seemed to be slightly loosened. "The girl is right." Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "We have to get out of this dead end, and we can't stay stubborn like this." "Mr. Lin has given us the national policy that is most suitable for the current situation, and has constantly emphasized that there is no perfect national policy in the world, but we are still not satisfied with it." "It's too inappropriate." "After much tossing, good things turn bad." As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang clasped the plain hand next to him and said sincerely:

"Thanks to my sister for reminding us in time." "Otherwise, we may make further mistakes." "Mr. Lin's comment is absolutely correct. Facing the behemoth of historical rules, we are so small and funny."

"Throughout the ages, there have been countless sages, but who can truly achieve the goal of seeing for thousands of years." "Sad, deplorable." Hear this. Empress Ma gave him a subtle look, quietly took her hand out from under the table, and complained: "Chongpachi, you really need to wake up. You can't go on like this." "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Each generation should do what they should do. You should build a country for your children. As for whether you can maintain it in the future, this is not something you can control." "Just like the First Emperor, a tiger and wolf king, sweeping across the land and swallowing mountains and rivers, how domineering that is." "But is he considered dead by Qin II?" "Do your best to obey fate and do what you should do." “Just don’t dig holes for future generations.” "What do you think?" Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth but stopped talking. I have to admit that what Madam said makes sense. It's not that he doesn't understand it at all, he just can't get over the hurdle in his heart. "Okay, if you can figure things out, it won't be in vain for me to nag you for so long." "You two go get down to business. I'm a little tired and won't accompany you anymore." Seeing Empress Ma calm down and getting up to prepare to return to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately returned to reality from his thoughts, stopped him and said:

"No, girl." "Isn't the class finished yet?" "Let the boss take you back later."

"Besides, we don't have a clue yet about the homework assigned by Mr. Lin. It just so happens that you can help us with our advice." "It's impossible for me and my father to decide, and you have to take action at the critical moment. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's attentiveness and kind words, the disgust in Queen Ma's eyebrows almost overflowed, and she said angrily: "Don't just pick nice things to say." "This is an assignment assigned by Mr. Lin to the emperors. What does it have to do with me?" "Don't try to be lazy!" "I'm leaving!" The voice did not fall. I saw Zhu Yuanzhang putting his hands on his shoulders, his face full of undisguised flattery, and he helped the other person sit back with a smile. "Sister." "You can't say things like that." "We are a family." "If you don't help me, who can help us?" "What's more, it's been a long time since our family sat down and chatted calmly." "Right?" Say it. Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to wink at the prince and signal him to come over and help. The rich man was known to spoil his son and would feel sorry for his son if he did not give the emperor face. See this. The prince immediately understood, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and spoke kind words respectfully. Father and son sing and harmonize, and they work together very well. In just a moment, Queen Ma was speechless and felt like she couldn't laugh or cry. "You two." "Let me tell you what would you like to order?" "One is the current emperor and the other is the future emperor. Can he be a little more profound like the king of a country?" "What does it look like?" When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that there was something going on, he immediately added a handful of firewood:

"My sister taught me the right lesson." "We remember it." "Then, let's continue?"

Seeing Zhu Biao scurrying about in a hurry, Empress Ma couldn't help but raise her hands to her forehead, but she had nothing to do with him. "Don't bother, mother is not thirsty." Queen Ma waved her hand and said helplessly:

"Don't even think about showing off to Mr. Lin. Your whole family will be embarrassed along with you." "clear?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded like a fool and agreed. After all, he was not a fool. He mainly wanted to hear the girl's opinions. "Next, let's talk about the disaster caused by the five beetles." Queen Ma thought for a moment and said: "Confucians used literature to disrupt the law, but they were appointed by the monarch. The knights used force to violate the law, but they became assassins of the nobles." "It is a sin for a husband to deviate from the law, but gentlemen use literature to gain..." "Those who were opposed by the law became those favored by the monarch, and those who should be punished became those supported by the powerful." Faced with such a contradictory legal system, even if there is an emperor again, it is impossible to govern the world well. "Is it okay for me to say this?" The Zhu family father and son were thoughtful, feeling that Empress Ma's tone of teaching was becoming more and more like a connection. "Tell me two more short stories." "There was a benevolent man in the state of Chu. His father stole someone else's sheep, so he went to Ling Yin and reported the father who had stolen the things." "In the end, Ling Yin thought that he was unfilial to his father, and finally sentenced him to death." Queen Ma sighed: "There are also unknown soldiers of the Lu State. Every time they go to war with the king, they are the first to escape. Later Confucius asked why." "He said that he did not dare to die in battle because he had an old man in his family. As a result, Confucius thought that he was a filial son and finally elected him to be an official." "The monarch's loyalty has become his father's rebellious son, and his father's rebellious son has become the monarch's loyal minister. It is really difficult to evaluate." "The former Ling Yin killed people of good character and served the Chu State's evil deeds without anyone reporting him." "Ever since Confucius rewarded a deserter, the soldiers of the state of Lu will flee every time they fight." "Who is right?" Queen Ma straightened her body and said seriously:

"So as early as when Cangjie coined the Chinese character, he knew that the relationship between public and private would be incompatible." “If a monarch mainly favors private interests, he will inevitably damage his own national strength. "Those who have meritorious service in killing the enemy should be rewarded, but after returning to the army, they shout about benevolence. Those who attack the city and defeat the enemy should be awarded a knighthood, but after returning, they talk about universal love." "Such a relationship between monarch and minister is bound to be unstable." Hear this. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded involuntarily, fully recognizing what the other party said.

To put it bluntly, this is also one of the problems of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also one of the main contradictions of civil and military existence. Everyone has his or her own thoughts and calculations. It would be like seeing a ghost if the Ming Dynasty is good. Put into this, if the emperor's thoughts are not firm and always swinging from side to side, the dynasty is bound to gradually decline. That's why Lin Che patiently gave the prince some firm thoughts. Think about this. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled bitterly, without interrupting. "The country's prosperity depends on farmers, but it also brings convenience to Confucian scholars. Soldiers are needed to conquer cities and territories, but it also provides gifts to rangers."
