Chapter 541 The Prince Supervises the Country "Your Majesty, we used military means before to make Beiyuan pay tribute to us, but the result was not satisfactory. Why do we risk attacking Beiyuan again?" One of the courtiers said worriedly. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said to the courtier: "You are right. Our previous methods did not completely solve the problem of Mongolian intrusion in the north, but we cannot allow Beiyuan to unite with the Duoyan tribe and allow them to develop freely. , threatening my Ming Dynasty.” At this time, another minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of War is opposed to your decision. We are just worried that such a war will cause huge losses in national power." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply. He knew that the courtiers were not hostile, but worried about the future of the country. "No matter what the outcome of the war is, national interests are always my biggest concern. I will go all out to minimize the impact of the war on the people." "This time, I will personally lead the army to grieve and completely quell the threat of Beiyuan to the Ming Dynasty." The declaration of war quickly spread across the country, and the country was in a state of excitement. People were full of worries and expectations. They prayed for Zhu Yuanzhang's decision and at the same time prayed for the safety of themselves and their families. After a month of preparation, Zhu Yuanzhang personally commanded the army and set off from the capital, planning to set off to the north.

After months of long-distance travel, we finally arrived at the border. The land was dark and desolate, a desolate scene. The arrival of the army made the people on the border burst into tears. They looked forward to the peace and tranquility of the country. Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the army and scanned the vast land ahead. He felt the expectations and trust of the people, and also felt the heavy burden on his shoulders. He realized that this war was related to the future of the country and to hundreds of millions of people. fate. ....... Zhu Yuanzhang went to the north to personally conquer Beiyuan. In the palace, Zhu Biao temporarily took his place in governing the country. Zhu Biao looked at the pile of papers and was still reviewing them in the middle of the night. When Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen went to the imperial study, he saw his father so tired and felt distressed and asked his father to take a rest. Zhu Biao smiled bitterly. Now that he is the prince, he must do his job well and must not relax for a day in this position. Zhu Biao told Zhu Yunwen that this is the way of the emperor, and he will understand it in the future. Zhu Biao put down the fold in his hand, looked up at his son, and said with a smile: "Yunwen, you are still young and do not understand the complexity of these things, but you must also know that now I am the prince and shoulder the important responsibility of governing the country. No time in the day can be wasted, not to mention the threat from Beiyuan outside. I must stay vigilant and try my best to complete my duties. " Zhu Yunwen sighed softly. He understood his father's hard work, but he was also worried about his father's health. He had always felt that his father was his role model and loved his father deeply: "Dad, thank you for your hard work. I I know this position is a huge pressure for you, but please also pay attention to rest and take care of yourself.” Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and sighed: "Yunwen, the way of the emperor is very difficult. I often think of your grandfather. He personally conquered the Northern Yuan Dynasty in order to serve the country and protect our country. Now I am walking on On his journey, everything is for the peace and stability of the country. When it is your turn to become emperor in the future, you will definitely feel the weight of this responsibility." Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "Dad, I understand, I will. Study hard and become a good emperor in the future, inheriting your and grandfather’s wishes, but I hope you can pay more attention to your body and not work too hard.” Zhu Biao smiled slightly. He looked into his son's eyes and felt a surge of incomparable pride and fishiness in his heart. "Yunwen, you are my pride. I believe you will become a wise and benevolent ruler, but this There are no simple things in the world, only by giving can you get rewards.” Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists tightly. He was determined to become better and live up to his father's expectations. He said solemnly: "Dad, I will do better for my hard work. I am my Ming Dynasty." At night in the palace, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen spent time together in the royal study. They chatted and shared each other's thoughts and dreams. Zhu Biao taught his son the ways of the emperor, teaching him how to handle government affairs, how to lead the people, and how to protect national interests. On nights like this, the bond between father and son became even deeper. Zhu Biao looked at his son's immature face, and his heart was filled with hope and attachment. He knew he couldn't afford to be let down in this position. As the night gradually deepened, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen walked out of the imperial study room together, preparing to rest. Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but asked: "Dad, since you are working so hard, why don't you find more people to help you handle government affairs?" Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile, "Yunwen, a person's ability is limited. I need to understand every corner of the country and the sufferings and needs of every people. Only in this way can I govern the country better." , although it’s tiring, it’s my responsibility.” Zhu Yunwen nodded silently. He understood his father's words. He knew that his father was a person who took the overall situation into consideration, and his painstaking efforts and efforts were not understandable by ordinary people.

As night fell, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen each returned to their bedrooms. In Zhu Yunwen's bedroom, Zhu Yunwen sat silently in front of the desk with an ancient book in his hand. He turned the pages and stared at it intently. He was determined to learn more knowledge, strengthen his abilities, and prepare for the future throne. Zhu Biao was appointed as the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to conquer the country. He was excited and worried about this position. As a young and studious prince, he knew that he still had a lot to learn in terms of national governance. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang was out, he frequently consulted Lin Che, the national teacher. When Zhu Biao arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Lin Che was reading an ancient book. He stood up to greet Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao smiled and said hello to Lin Che, then sat down and began to ask Lin Che for advice with eager curiosity. "Sir, why can't I personally participate in the expedition? As the prince, I have the responsibility to protect and develop the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but my father wants to drive the expedition himself, leaving me to supervise the country." Lin Che put down the ancient book in her hand, looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, and then said slowly: "His Majesty chose you to stay in Yingtian Supervisory Kingdom not because you lack courage and ability. On the contrary, it is really because of your intelligence and ability in government affairs." This is an opportunity to give you a comprehensive understanding of national governance.” While Zhu Biao was meditating on Lin Che's words, his eyes kept looking at Lin Che, expressing his desire to learn and explore. "Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean. It's time to learn more about national governance. Is there anything you can advise me?" (End of this chapter)
