Chapter 318 Zhu Yuanzhang: We don’t like to deal with literati, and we don’t want to talk about anything directly!

"The art of vertical and horizontal is a forbidden art." "If you are not careful, you will get into trouble." "Do you understand?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt overwhelmed by his wife's barrage of questions. His eyes when he looked at the other party were full of confusion, and he couldn't figure out the situation. "Sister, please wait." "Why are we getting more and more confused the more we listen?" "Is there any connection between the vertical and horizontal skills that Mr. Lin talked about and what you said?" "real or fake?" "Why don't we feel anything at all?" "This, isn't this a bit too much? It's really not that exaggerated!"

Hear this. Empress Ma shook her head helplessly, but she couldn't bear to embarrass the other party anymore and said bluntly: "Exaggeration?" "Haha, that's not an exaggeration at all." "That's all I'll keep it to myself." “The so-called alliance is to rely on strong countries to attack weak countries, and the so-called alliance is to unite weak countries to fight against strong countries.” "But once you join forces, you must offer your land and the monarch's seal to gain the trust of a powerful country." "But in this way, the country's territory will shrink, and the monarch's reputation will continue to decrease. Before it has time to reap the benefits, it will have already entered chaos." Looking sideways at the astonished Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma smiled:

"Similarly, once we join forces to assist a small country, we are on a single path. Victory may not necessarily bring benefits, and the four hundred will face the destruction of the country." "Therefore, the effect of combining vertical and horizontal lines has not been seen, but the people who engage in combined verticals have gained fame." "The status of the monarch is constantly declining. Strategists compare it to hundreds of officials. Let's think about it again. Is this the truth?" Listen. Zhu Yuanzhang stayed where he was as if he had been struck by lightning. He was still full of complaints just now, but now he could not utter a word. "Is this what Mr. Lin actually means?" "If you explain it this way, it makes sense." "In that case, why didn't you remind us earlier?" Seeing his unhappy look, Queen Ma couldn't help but sigh, stood up and poured him a cup of tea: "I thought you understood, but who knew you didn't?" "Are you the emperor, or am I the emperor?" "It's about the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. How can a woman interfere?"

"No matter how hard you try, it won't matter." Zhu Yuanzhang took two sips of tea and felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over. At this time, he felt mixed and depressed. It turned out that it wasn't Lin Che who was trying to satisfy her appetite, but that she simply didn't understand what was going on. I thought I knew everything, but in fact I didn’t understand anything. No wonder Lin Che's attitude towards him is getting worse and worse. There are reasons and traces to follow. Think about this. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help pinching his eyebrows. "Sister." "Let's beg you." "Whenever you think of something from now on, don't hide it." "We're not asking you to do politics, you have to do some work for us!" "We are a family." “Red tape is not enough food.” This statement came out. Queen Ma's face did not change, she did not express her position on this, and instead said: "We'll wait until later to talk about the future. Let's finish talking about this first." "If you want to unify the world, you must be able to defeat other countries. If you want to be safe, you must ensure that your country is not invaded." "If a country is strong, it can defeat other countries, and if the court is stable, it will not be invaded. Therefore, politicians are just instigating fights." "Just like a chess player, making profits from it." Empress Ma said as she was minding her own business, she smoothed the prince's collar and said seriously:

"In this world, the more things, the better, and the easier it is to achieve results. The more resources, the easier it is to achieve success." "When a country is strong, strategies are easy to succeed; conversely, when the country is weak, strategies are prone to mistakes." "So it's not that the ministers of Qin are smart, nor that the ministers of Yan are clumsy, but because the conditions of the two countries are different." "Taking this as a lesson, if Ming Dynasty wants to be invincible, it must ensure that its national power is strong." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a deep breath and nodded in agreement. "People habitually pursue comfort and self-interest, and deliberately avoid danger and poverty. This is also the human nature that Mr. Lin talks about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." "If Qingpo and the others go to the battlefield, they may be killed if they advance, and they will face military law if they retreat. They give up their personal family property and endure the toil of fighting." Queen Ma smiled and said:

"Faced with such a dangerous situation, how could they think of ways to escape?" "At this point, they took refuge in the powerful, hoping to be exempted from military service, and used money to bribe those in power in an attempt to avoid danger." “As a result, there will be fewer and fewer people working for the public good, and the forces that rely on the powerful will become larger and larger.

"In the end, the common people and the nobles all became the enemies of the monarch." "How can we enrich the country and strengthen the army like this?" After saying that, Queen Ma straightened her body and said seriously: "Jungpachi." "This is the starting point for Mr. Lin to want you to consolidate your power." "Otherwise, one day, the Zhu family will stand against the people, causing dynasties to change, the country to be ruined, and the family to be destroyed." After listening to his wife's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his oily old face and suddenly realized it as if he had woken up from a dream. The intricate threads in his mind finally formed a rope, reconnecting all the courses Lin Che had taught. Suddenly, I felt like I was being amnesty. "Yes, the girl is right." "We understand now." "Just saying that we don't like to deal with literati, Mr. Lin is really serious. Why can't you just say it?" "Do you have to go around and around and hide it in the course?" "We're just a big boss, isn't this making things difficult for us?!" The words fall. Empress Ma raised her chin slightly but hesitated to speak. She was too lazy to talk to him and summed it up directly: "The reason for the confusion is nothing more than those who write books and preach, using morality to promote the king's law, and paying attention to etiquette to cover up the truth of hypocrisy." "To disturb the prevailing laws and shake the resolve of the sovereign." "These are those jesters who use clever names, deception, and the power of a country to achieve their own private goals." "As well as those so-called admonishers who fought against the emperor, claiming to serve the country and the people were actually just trying to gain a good name." "True and false, false and true, how can there be perfection in the true sense?" "Times have indeed changed, but the disaster of Wuhub has not changed." "The dilemma of country subjugation has not changed!" Say it. Queen Ma calmly stood up and left the table, raising her hand to signal the maid outside to come in. "That's all I'm saying." "When you figure it out, go find Mr. Lin." "Boss is optimistic about your father. I'll go back and rest first."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhu Biao hurriedly saluted and sent him off. On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang remained unmoved, and it took a long time for his tiger eyes to refocus. Wait for Queen Ma to drift away and disappear around the corner. The hall fell silent again. "Boss, come with us." "We have a solution!" (End of this chapter)
