Chapter 248: Zhu Biao's Question
"Who is it? Lonely can't say! ”
Zhu Biao shook his head and flatly refused.
Liu Chun was puzzled, he felt that maybe Zhu Biao hadn't thought it through, so he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, these people are accusing the prince, their hearts can be punished, and they should be killed to set an example!" ”
Suddenly, Zhu Biao raised his head suddenly, staring at Liu Chun with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to penetrate this young man!
"Liu Chun, what did you say?" Zhu Biao said word by word.
Liu Chun smiled calmly, "Your Highness, if someone wants to frame the vassal king and divide the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, shouldn't he die?" All the vassal kings went to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays at the last year's longevity ceremony, and they were all virtuous kings, loyal and upright, and they definitely did not bully the people and do anything wrong. Of course, King Tan is an exception, but he already knows his mistake and dies in the flames, isn't it enough? ”
"Those who continue to frame the prince are so traitorous, so vicious and insidious, please inform Your Highness that the minister is willing to kill him immediately!"
Liu Chun said it righteously and strictly, but Zhu Biao's eyes became more and more surprised, and he didn't believe it at all, this was what Liu Chun could say!
"You don't have to cover up for King Lu and King Qi, I know what my brother looks like!"
Zhu Yuanzhang On the whole, he still teaches his children well, and all the princes have some skills, but if there is too much, it will be messy, and the dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of which are different, not to mention that Lao Zhu gave birth to twenty-six!
Among the vassal kings, King Yan and King Zhou, this is good, but King Lu, King Qi, including King Jin and King Qin, it is difficult to say.
Especially King Lu, this guy doesn't know which string he put on the wrong one, he indulges in alchemy every day, and he has to cultivate an immortality.
This guy just cultivates by himself, he also gave the results to a few brothers, because King Zhou likes medicine, King Lu gave him two large boxes of golden pills.
King Zhou stared at it for three days, but he didn't dare to eat it, so he gave it all to Liu Chun.
Angry, Liu Chun took the golden pill and threw King Zhou!
You're too bad, you're afraid of death, why did you give it to me?
King Zhou is also quite aggrieved, who said that it must be harmful, maybe he can live forever! Liu Chunxin said that if you can live forever, you won't give it to me.
He didn't talk nonsense, he directly caught a litter of chickens, crushed the golden pill, and fed them...... Ten days later, King Zhou completely broke off the idea of immortality.
It can't be repaired!
He thinks so, but it doesn't mean that King Lu also thinks so, that person is planning to run all the way to the dark. Alchemy is not an ordinary hobby, just a variety of precious medicinal materials, it is worth a lot of money, what nine-colored Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old Shou Wu, 10,000-year-old snow lotus...... All of them are thrown into the copper furnace, it is not alchemy, but burning money, really burning money!
Zhu Biao also knew King Lu's hobbies, and usually admonished him, but King Lu didn't listen to his words at all, and still went his own way.
Now that someone has poked things out, how can I protect you?
Zhu Biao has been so haggard these days, which is also related to worry.
But Liu Chun doesn't see it that way!
"Your Highness, the kings are innocent, why should Your Highness doubt his younger brother and condone the traitorous ministers?"
"They aren't!" Zhu Biao suddenly raised his voice.
At this time, Lan Yu, who had never had an accident, suddenly stood up, walked to Zhu Biao's approach, and bowed down and whispered: "Your Highness, the kings are indeed innocent!" ”
Zhu Biao squinted at Lan Yu, as if he couldn't believe it.
You must know that Lan Yu has always been very disgusted with the powerful vassal kings, and he has also clashed with Zhu Di several times, and he usually has a lot of complaints about other vassal kings, why did he speak for the kings for a while?
"Liang Guogong, how can they be innocent for their crimes!"
Lan Yu didn't answer, but sighed: "Your Highness, the minister has led the army for decades, and there are a lot of big battles after that. The so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, knowing that there is a trap ahead, but the army must pass, what should I do? Send someone to be the advance team, and when they go, few will come back alive. Sometimes, the soldiers trapped in the lonely city come to ask for help, but they have to tell them that the reinforcements will arrive immediately, and they will fight to the last soldier! ”
Lan Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Over the years, how many old brothers, even if they die, don't know that I'm lying to them!" Maybe they know that there is no other way! If they don't fight to the death, their families will die, and if they die in battle, their families will be able to live better! ”
"Your Highness, although the affairs of the army and the affairs of the court are different, there are things to figure out. The death of King Tan is enough! ”
I don't know if "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" really has the effect of improving intelligence, or if Lan Yu has opened his mind, anyway, his words are to the point.
The children of the clan, the prince and the vassal king, do you want to dispose of it?
Of course, it must be dealt with, the so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
But the question is, can you chase it to the end and let go of no one?
Of course not!
Don't forget that this is still the country of the old Zhu family.
Which father can be so ruthless that he kills several sons in a row without changing his face? Although Zhu Yuanzhang is iron-faced, he is by no means a ruthless person.
There is a degree in everything, and a king of the pond is enough to establish authority and show the attitude of changing the law. The next step is to strengthen the restraint of the kings, and that's it.
If there is that vassal king who continues to die, then it is not polite, and he will do it when he should do it.
For now, that's enough.
Zhu Biao's brows were deep, he thought about it a little, and he also understood the meaning of Liu Chun and Lan Yu, to put it bluntly, it was to protect the kings.
"As an elder brother, I still know the mistakes of my younger brothers, and I blame me for not being an elder brother. But if I were asked to hold them accountable for their capital crimes, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”
Liu Chun nodded, don't talk about Zhu Biao, he can't do it either.
But the next words surprised Liu Chun.
"But!" Zhu Biao's voice was raised, "Right is right, wrong is wrong!" I can't deal with my brother, but I can't deal with loyal people who speak up! What should they do with the kings, who speak out about their faults and have no sin? If they are all killed, will there be any courtiers in my Ming Dynasty who dare to speak? ”
Yes!
Liu Chun took a breath, he was not frightened by Zhu Biao's high theory, but helpless and discouraged.
Lan Yu's facial features were tangled next to him, and he kept turning in circles, he felt that Zhu Biao's words were also problematic, but he didn't know how to refute them, he was just in a hurry.
Liu Chun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he still sighed.
Say goodbye, turn around and leave directly.
As soon as Liu Chun came out, Lan Yu chased after him.
"Boy, do you want to say anything, tell me!" Lan Yu was in a hurry, "Your Highness is so indecisive, looking forward and backward, no, really not!" ”
Liu Chun paused, "Liang Guogong, His Royal Highness is not looking forward and backward, not being indecisive, but unable to distinguish the point!" ”
"The point?"
"Hmm!" Liu Chun sighed: "The top priority now is to promote the reform of the law and establish a new fiscal and taxation system. That's all that matters! The main force opposing the new fiscal and taxation system came from the gentry and bureaucracy, not the children of the clan! The death of King Tan can already be Du Youyou's mouth, and then it is time to attack the civil officials! extinguish their prestige and promote change. There is no right or wrong in this matter, it's just that the angle is different, who knows that His Highness is so hesitant, I, I'm afraid I have miscalculated! ”
In the face of Lan Yu, Liu Chun really didn't have reservations, and what he said was all heartfelt words.
It is true that a king's decree does not depend on right and wrong, and it does not matter whether it is right or wrong...... Take Lao Zhu as an example, he ruthlessly cleaned up the heroes, suppressed Haoqiang, and killed them at every turn, outside the yamen, there were a bunch of human skin pillows...... Cruel and ruthless, historians and cultural people of all dynasties scolded Lao Zhu.
However, it cannot be denied that Lao Zhu's actions are to tilt the balance of interests in favor of ordinary people. That's why there is a country and a prosperous world.
And what about Zhu Biao?
He didn't seem to be able to tell the difference, or maybe he had something else in mind.
He wants to be a good elder brother, so he can't hold his younger brother accountable, and he wants to be a good prince, so he can't attack civil officials...... But the question is, no one is willing to start, so what about the people? How can we make up for the shortcomings of finance, and can we turn a blind eye?
Liu Chun shook his head, he used to have high hopes for Zhu Biao, and he also felt that it was much more comfortable to be with a generous and gentle boss than with Zhu Laosi, who was eloquent. He will keep moving closer to Zhu Biao and help Zhu Biao plan.
He even thought that Zhu Biao had a gentle personality and couldn't promote major reforms, so Liu Chun desperately gave Zhu Yuanzhang advice, and Lao Zhu was also very cooperative, took the initiative to take on his father's responsibilities, threw off his arms, and paved the way for Zhu Biao.
But at this juncture, Zhu Biao hesitated.
What the hell is this?
We carry a sedan chair for you, you just have to sit on it, but you are not happy, so who are we for?
Liu Chun came out of the room, didn't say much, and was also unhappy in his heart, and he had a little temper.
Lan Yu understood Liu Chun's mood very well, to be honest, he was not happy anymore, but what could he do? The crown prince is his junior after all!
Lan Yu gritted her teeth and reached out to pat Liu Chun's shoulder, "Okay, you go and take a look around with Xinyue and enjoy the scenery, I'll go and tell Your Highness." ”
Sapphire turned her head and returned to the living room.
At this moment, Zhu Biao was sitting there, looking at the front with empty eyes, looking lonely and helpless.
"Your Highness, Liu Chun has a talent for governing the country, and the old minister has always wanted him to work for His Highness." The implication is that the people I have worked so hard to bring in, you are too faceless.
Zhu Biao suddenly sighed, "Liang Guogong, how do you think you should govern a country?" ”
Lan Yu was dazed, "I can't say it!" ”
Zhu Biao lowered his head and said slowly: "The queen mother told me when she was dying that my father was impatient, cruel, and ruthless. If I had inherited the throne, I would have done the opposite. As an elder brother, you should get along with your younger brothers, and as a king, you should be honest with your courtiers. ”
"There are rich and poor people in the country, but in the final analysis, it depends on the unity of people's hearts, rashly changing the law, and using killing to promote the new law, so that the heavenly family is separated from each other, father and son kill each other, brothers turn against each other, and courtiers are separated from morality...... Liang Guogong, you said that such a big price, is it worth it? ”
