Chapter 102 Zhu Yuanzhang revised "The Ancestral Instructions of the Emperor Ming"

Zhu Yuanzhang used the lid of the cup to scrape off the tea leaves floating on the surface, looked at the prince and asked:

"Boss, what else did Mr. Lin say after we left!"

"Show us the record!"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao quickly stepped forward and presented the compiled records:

"Father!"

"After you left the secret room, Mr. Lin didn't give any lectures. He just expressed a wish to his second brother..."

"Father, please take a look!"

"desire?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, he quickly put down the teacup in his hand, took the record, and began to read through it.

The previous lectures were all about Lin Che's lectures. Zhu Yuanzhang was present at the time, so the contents were generally clear.

Only the last few sentences were recorded by the prince after he left.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned after reading the last few lines of the record: "Boss, what do you mean?"

"Are these Mr. Lin's exact words?"

"Live your life on your own terms..."

"Is this his wish?"

"Why can't he live according to his own wishes? Did we hurt his heart by putting him in jail?"

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Zhu Biao nodded solemnly:

"For the record, Father, I have recorded Mr. Lin's exact words verbatim."

"But... when I was recording, I clearly felt the helplessness and exhaustion in Mr. Lin's tone."

"It seems that... only death is a relief for him."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn, held the record in his hand, and said nothing.

now.

He felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

The father and son faced each other, looking at each other speechlessly, neither knowing what to say.

At this time.

Queen Ma, who was standing aside, stood up.

She took the record from Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, turned to the last page, glanced at it a few times, and sighed:

"This Mr. Lin is indeed extraordinary!"

"With such a realm, even Liu Bowen, who is called a demigod, can only compare to him!"

"No wonder your father and son are always running to jail all day long. Their skills are really admirable!"

Empress Ma's emotion surprised Lao Zhu and asked quickly: "Sister...what did you see?"

"Just tell us, what does this...Mr. Lin mean?"

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Empress Ma did not hide it, pointing to a recorded paragraph to explain:

"Look, Mr. Lin, this is advice to our second son!"

"'It's even more painful to know too much and not be able to change it!'"

"No wonder I can feel Mr. Lin's tiredness reading between the lines."

"This is the pain only a saint can suffer!"

"So it is!"

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized!

Changing the world is easier said than done.

Even if he knows the 'Emperor Art', it is not an immortal method after all.

Since ancient times, the emperor has ruled the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats, and has never shared the world with the people...

As a common citizen, it was even more difficult for Lin Che to make decisions for the people!

Even if you put yourself in a fatal situation, let yourself act as a counselor, and stir up troubles, it may still end in nothing in the end.

Perhaps, Lin Che had already figured out all this! Think about this.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a burst of grief, covered his heart with his big hands, and lamented:

"Sir, you have the ambition of a unicorn and the style of a saint!" "We are convinced!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were as bright as fire and his tone was firm:

"Sir's concerns, your pain, your worries for the world..."

"I feel it!"

"I, hereby swear an oath!"

"I will definitely implement all the policies that your husband has proposed for me, and I will never let your hard work go to waste!"

"Mr.'s method of enriching the country and strengthening the people will be passed down from generation to generation by the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If you violate it, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Zhu Yuanzhang made an impassioned speech, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

heard.

Zhu Biao knelt down and shouted:

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

"My sons and ministers must obey their father's orders and pass on the methods of enriching the country and strengthening the people, and pass them on from generation to generation."

Queen Ma on the side also looked solemn and echoed: "Eternal Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked excited and said to Zhu Biao:

"Boss, get up and get that thing on the document!"

"That thing..."

Zhu Biao stood up, but didn't understand what the old man wanted. He glanced at the document and saw a gold-red book, and he understood immediately.

That was the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" drafted earlier by Zhu Yuanzhang.

My father is afraid that he will make some changes.

Zhu Biao took the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" and was about to hand it over, but Zhu Yuanzhang snatched it away.

I saw him opening the gilded booklet and tearing out all the contents in the front part.

All that was left was Lin Che's previous words: no marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the monarch will die.

next moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the brush and scrawled down all Lin Che's demands for reform.

After finishing writing, Zhu Yuanzhang gently dried the ink on it.

He held it in his hand and looked at it from left to right. He looked very satisfied. He closed the book and handed it to the prince, sighing:

"Look what we have done?"

"What is written here is nothing more than our admonishment to the descendants of the old Zhu family!"

"I've been writing it for several years, but I haven't thought it through... Mr. Lin guided us to rewrite it!"

"Why didn't we meet Mr. Lin earlier!"

"Let us waste so much energy!"

Zhu Biao opened the new "Emperor Ming's Ancestral Instructions" and looked at the content rewritten by his father, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

If it weren't for Mr. Lin's advice, I would have followed what my father originally wrote, and I don't know where I would have gone wrong! There are many rules, but they are impractical.

There are strict rules on what meals, dishes and dishes to eat every day. Who can bear this! I am used to suffering hardships with my father. I don’t know whether my descendants will be able to endure hardships like me in the future!

Harshness is right, but the mistake lies in the fact that the person you are facing can withstand such harshness! And when your father dies and there is no more words and deeds to teach you, future generations will not care about you.

But these words cannot be said in front of the father.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao bowed and complimented: "Father Emperor Shengming!"

"During the Warring States Period, King Qin Huiwen didn't like Lord Shang, but he followed Lord Shang's laws; King Wu of Qin didn't like Zhang Yi, but he followed Zhang Yi's strategies. They both put their family, country and world first, abandoned personal prejudices, and laid the foundation for Dynasty hegemony!”

"My descendants of the Zhu family will definitely be bound by the "Emperor's Ancestral Instructions" drawn up by my father and inherit the hegemony developed by my father forever."

Prince Zhu Biao's compliments made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally in a melancholy mood, improve a lot.

He sighed and said:

"What the boss said is exactly what I want. The "Huangming Ancestral Instructions" I revised is exactly based on Mr. Lin's wishes."

"I won't say it's perfect, but it will be of great help to the inheritance. Our Zhu family will rely on this to maintain the Ming Dynasty from now on!"

"I don't think anyone in the future generations of the Zhu family would dare to disobey!"
