Chapter 53: Father and Son Talk

In the Forbidden City of Nanjing.

After the crown prince Zhu saw Zhu Qizhen saluting, he didn't speak at first, but saw two lines of tears flowing down, and said: "Seeing the face of my father and emperor today, it is not as good as before, and the child is really unfilial. ”

When Zhu Qizhen saw Zhu Jianjun like this, his heart was mixed for a while. I don't know what it's like.

To tell the truth, the crown prince Zhu Jianjun is the child that Zhu Qizhen has invested the most effort in. If Zhu Qizhen has no feelings for him, naturally not.

Now that his son is back, Zhu Qizhen is also happy in his heart.

It's just that the prince's behavior made Zhu Qizhen's joy mixed with other things.

Is the prince a fake? Zhu Qizhen didn't know, at least he didn't see any flaws.

But when he judges a person, he never looks at any evidence, or sees any flaws, after all, he is an emperor, not a policeman, and many times, he doesn't need to judge the truth at all, he just needs to prove it freely.

Zhu Qizhen has been on the role of the emperor for many years, fighting with countless old foxes, and it can be said that all the cabinet chiefs and assistants are first-class politicians in the world and first-class actors in the world.

has been in power for so many years, and Zhu Qizhen has long been an old fox.

The prince's Taoism is still too shallow.

The prince's move is touching with emotion, and it is the only secret method for thousands of years to win the heir. How could Zhu Qizhen not know that it was rumored that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were vying for the throne back then. Just as Cao Cao set out on the expedition, Cao Zhi sprinkled a thousand words, but Cao Pi could only cry, but Cao Cao felt that Cao Pi was sincere.

Later, when Xianfeng and Prince Gong competed for the throne, Xianfeng was inferior to Prince Gong everywhere. When he was shooting, he didn't get anything, and when Daoguang asked, he couldn't bear to kill. Win with benevolence.

It is similar to what the prince has done now.

For the crown prince, the father and the emperor are both father and son and monarchs. He was moved by the love of father and son, hoping for a good outcome.

For example, staying in Jingshi.

It's just that he met Zhu Qizhen.

This kind of trick can't go through a round in front of Zhu Qizhen.

But see through and see through. Zhu Qizhen didn't want to embarrass the prince, but he really didn't know what his heart was when he behaved like this to the prince?

It is the feeling of father-son love, mixed with other rights and wrongs. I still feel that the prince has grown up, at least he is no longer the one who didn't understand anything at the beginning.

He has grown into a qualified political figure.

And for Da Ming, a scheming and tough-wristed future emperor, this is a good thing.

It's just that such a prince is more of the son that Emperor Ming wants, not the son that Zhu Qizhen wants. Or this is the deepest sadness in Zhu Qizhen's heart.

Zhu Qizhen's tone slowed down and said, "What are you crying about, how old is the person, is there a lack of someone to serve by my side?" As a child, there is a small filial piety and a big filial piety, serving the decoction by the side, the color clothes are pleasing to the relatives, but it is a small filial piety, can inherit the business of the fathers and ancestors, carry forward the vast, comfort the ancestors and ancestors in the spirit of the sky, and build the foundation of the inheritance of future generations, this is the way of great filial piety. ”

"You are the crown prince, so naturally you have to give up the small to the big. In the future, you will inherit the world, and this dragon chair, shoulders against the moon, palms, not everyone can sit firmly. I let you have a good experience in the south, but also for the future. ”

The prince immediately said: "The child understands, but the child really can't help it. ”

The prince and Zhu Qizhen didn't seem to have done anything, but in fact, they had already made a move.

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Okay, let's talk about your affairs in Nanyang." ”

The prince sat down and said, "Yes." ”

So the prince began to talk about the development of Nanyang.

To be honest, it is a difficult thing to open up Nanyang, even though there are many Ming elites around the prince, and many times there is no need for the prince to deal with it personally, but from a barren place, building a city from scratch requires sufficient ability.

After the prince became an adult, whether it was the northwest, or the south of the Yangtze River, and then there was Jiaozhi, he had been trained in various places, and he had seen it up and down, and Zhu Qizhen also heard that the prince was very different from before.

These years of experience have not been fruitless.

Many times, a person's achievements are more determined by what kind of education he has received.

And the education that the prince has received so far is top-notch, and even top-notch enough to let the prince practice a newly pacified Jiaozhi victory, this kind of education cost is so high that many people dare not think about it.

Even if he is a middle-aged person, under such an education, he will not be a fool.

Not to mention that the prince himself is not a fool.

After the prince finished talking about Jiading, he said: "Your Majesty, you are wise and martial, and your son's exploration of the upper reaches of the Jiulong River in Jiading is the Lancang River in Yunnan. The minister has sent people upstream, to see if it can communicate with Yunnan, if it can succeed, Jiading will be much safer. ”

"And the Jiulong River is divided into nine branches near the mouth of the sea, all over the nearby plains, Erchen Guanzhi, if all reclamation, still in Taihu Lake, Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake near the plains are big, plus three or four seasons of rice a year, just need to be patient management, there will be one day, Jiading ripe, the world is full, when I think of this, Erchen has to admire the foresight of his father."

Zhu Qizhen immediately filtered the prince's sycophants, but he was very concerned about the navigation of the Mekong River.

Jiading is now separated from Jiaozhi by a Zhancheng.

Of course, the small country that occupied the city had already gone bankrupt militarily when it was beaten by Annam, and it belonged to the big one

If you want to knock it down, you can hit it at any time.

It's just not a good deal.

After all, even if the Ming Dynasty returns to Nanyang, it will also preach morality.

The Ming Dynasty is also a great asset for the moral reputation of the countries of the South Seas. If the Champa country is not guilty, what will the other countries think?

Although the countries of Nanyang are not big countries in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, they are not small countries in this era, such as Burma mobilizing more than 100,000 troops, such as Siam's war against the Angkor Dynasty in the Xuande years, and there are many people who are shaken

The Angkor Dynasty is the saying of later generations, and the ancient books of China in this country are written about the Funan Kingdom, which was a small overlord of the South Seas for a long time.

And the Majapahit is now inseparable from the Danmu country, and it doesn't look good, but you must know that when the Majapahit was just rising, it fought a Javanese battle with the Yuan Dynasty, and won the war, which made Kublai Khan suffer a loss, as for the rest of the Malacca, Manchurian, Aceh and other countries, each country looks small. But uniting together is also a big trouble for the Southern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't think that if the Ming Dynasty doesn't come to Nanyang, Nanyang is just a virgin land and there is nothing.

Therefore, the strongholds of the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas are all enclaves, whether it is the old port or Jiading, once the Ming Dynasty is defeated at sea, these strongholds will not be able to be saved.

Although the city of Cham is now a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. But when that time comes, it may not be trustworthy.

Therefore, if the channel of the Mekong River is opened, Jiading can get strong support from the other direction.

The Mekong River is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and is called the Lancang River. In the vicinity of the mouth of the sea, there is called the Jiulong River, because it divides into several rivers to enter the sea.

If this waterway is opened, then Daming can slowly operate along this river, and it is also a way of thinking to manage the Indochina Peninsula.

In particular, Zhu Qizhen vaguely remembers that there are many rivers that flow into the Indochina Peninsula from the Ming Dynasty, such as the Nu River, such as the Irrawaddy River in later generations, and now the river named Jinsha River by the Ming Dynasty.

In later generations, almost all of this river was in Burma, but don't forget that the territory of the Ming Dynasty in this era was different from the territory of China in later generations, especially the Xiang Kingdom was deep into the northernmost part of Myanmar in later generations.

It can be said that if the Ming Dynasty annexes the Indochina Peninsula, starting from Yunnan, it will be a real upstream.

Zhu Qizhen said: "You sent people to explore the river, did it have any results?" ”

The prince said: "Now there is not, this talk about the turbulent water, there are many waterfalls, although there are business travelers who say that they can pass through Yunnan, and now the sons have no results, so that the father and the emperor laughed." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What is this? How can you do business overnight, I will order Yunnan Qianguo Gong to send someone to help you. ”
