Prince of Chaos

Chapter 720
After half a month of preparation, the majestic emperor finally set off from the capital and headed for Tianjin Wei.

According to ancient rituals, when the emperor travels, he needs to pave the road with loess and pour clear water on the street. All the people along the way have to kneel to greet the emperor before they can get up.

However, Zhu Changluo did not engage in such a big show.

Zhu Changluo decreed in the name of Emperor Wanli that, except for the road ban that must be passed for a period of time, the rest will be as usual.

As for ancient ceremonies such as loess pads and clear water splashing on the street, Zhu Changluo just asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to dispose of them symbolically.

Now the roads in the capital are all cement roads. If you put loess on it or pour water on it, it will always be too extravagant and wasteful, and the dust from the loess is also very large, so this set is naturally saved. , became a symbolic etiquette.

Guards of honor meander on the road leading to Tianjin Wei.

Zhu Changluo and Emperor Wanli were sitting in the same driving dragon. This was not the first time that Emperor Wanli had gone out.

However, this trip still made Emperor Wanli very excited.

"Prince, what kind of place do you think Nanjing is?"

Emperor Wanli asked Zhu Changluo. After Zhu Changluo heard Emperor Wanli's question, he stopped the movement of his hands and handed the tea he had just brewed to Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River has been very prosperous, and Jinling was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The place where Emperor Taizu Gao established his foundation and started his business, it must be a prosperous place that gathers the royal spirit and the gentleness of the south of the Yangtze River."

Emperor Wanli took the tea, took a sip, and he hummed in a good mood, "In my impression, Nanjing is such a place. As one of the two capitals of Ming Dynasty, I am very familiar with this place , It’s a pity that I never had the chance to see it.”

"This time I was able to go south to Jinling with you, thanks to your blessing. If you hadn't been able to supervise the country well, the Ming Dynasty has shown signs of prosperity, and I am ashamed to go to Nanjing to worship my ancestors."

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Father, please don't praise my son like this. It's all thanks to my father's blessing that I can do this. Capital, how can we rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty and open up the prosperity of Wanli?"

Emperor Wanli couldn't help grinning when he heard the words Wanli Prosperous Age. For Emperor Wanli, these four words were simply the greatest compliment to him!

Emperor Wanli put down the teacup in his hand, "If Mr. Zhang is still alive, he will definitely kneel down at my feet sincerely and sincerely call me the Holy Master Mingjun!"

Zhu Changluo said: "My father's Mr. Zhang is not easy to evaluate, but I am sure that in the future generations, anyone who talks about the Wanli prosperity will involuntarily show reverence and yearning, just like the current Confucian scholars. The rule of the three generations is the same!"

"What is the rule of the Three Dynasties? My son said something disrespectful to the sage. Whether the so-called Three Dynasties really existed is a matter of two opinions. Moreover, according to the normal law of development, to deduce the Three Dynasties 3000 years ago, at that time The three dynasties in the past are definitely not the same as today. Maybe the direct territory that the legendary Yao, Shun and Yu can govern is not as good as the eleventh of the Ming Dynasty today!"

Hearing Zhu Changluo's shocking words, Emperor Wanli was not shocked.

As an emperor who had received normal imperial education, Emperor Wanli actually looked at some issues with suspicion.Among Mr. Zhang's teachings, Emperor Wanli liked the kind of well-founded rhetoric most. Emperor Wanli also had reasons not to believe the three or five sentences that only appeared in individual Confucian classics, such as the rule of three generations.

After all, looking at the history books of China, apart from the rule of Wenjing, which is a prosperous age with reliable historical records, there were nearly 2000 years of Jishi and Chaos before that, and the so-called rule of three generations.

However, even the Confucian classics are specious descriptions of what kind of governance these three generations are governing, and there is no actual and credible content.

Therefore, when Zhu Changluo said that the rule of the three generations in ancient times was not as good as Wanli's prosperity, what Emperor Wanli felt first was not the fear of being compared with the ancient saints, but a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart!
Emperor Wanli bared his teeth in joy, and replied modestly: "How can I compare with the ancient sages?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, I don't mean to flatter my father. This is a reasonable inference. If the rule of the three generations really existed, why didn't there be a generation of lords from the Xiahou clan to the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han clans?" The king of the three generations of ancient sages followed the rule of the ancients?"

Emperor Wanli looked like a professional fan: "Wang Mang chased after him."

After Zhu Changluo heard the name Wang Mang, he smiled, "Wang Mang is also deceiving himself. He thought he had read too many sage classics, so he thought he had great talent for governing the world. Not only did he force the orphans and widows of the Han Emperor to sit in his place, but he also Thinking of being smart, I found a solution to the 200-year-old evils of the Han Dynasty from the pile of old papers."

"This not only failed to solve the problem, but also led to the chaos of the red eyebrows and the disaster of the green forest. In the end, not only the body died, but the head was also made into a wine vessel, which has been rumored for thousands of years. It can be seen that there are such rotten scholars Opinions will not only harm others and oneself, but will also leave a bad reputation for thousands of years and become the laughing stock of the ages."

"That's why I believe that the way of governing the country should be learned from the current law, knowing how to adapt, instead of blindly following the past and advocating the unrealistic words of the ancients. The way of the world today has never been seen in the past, so how can we solve the worries of today's people?"

Zhu Changluo explained his philosophy of governing the country in one sentence, which made Emperor Wanli feel refreshed. Although these words are not as powerful and domineering as the words of Han Xuan, they have a different flavor.

Emperor Wanli sighed: "It is not only a blessing for me to have you in Ming Dynasty, but also a blessing for all the people in the world! If future emperors can keep your words in mind, even if they can't achieve prosperity for generations, they will still be able to become the king of the world." The king who rules the time!"

Being praised by Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo seemed a little embarrassed, "Father, my son's insight is all thanks to my father's teachings. If I didn't stand on the shoulders of my father, my son would never You can’t think of these reasons.”

Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo boasted about each other's business, and both of them bared their teeth in joy, as if they were a rare generation of Ming emperors and lords, so when they flattered each other, not only did the two of them not feel blushing, but also Take it for granted.

There is quite a majestic momentum that does not want Bilian!

In the middle of the laughter, Tianjin Wei was also approaching.

If it were placed in the past when there was no cement hardened road, it would take a day to get there from the capital to Tianjinwei.

Now it only takes half a day to get here.

After arriving in Tianjin Wei, Zhu Changluo and Emperor Wanli were not in a hurry to go to Tianjin Port to take a boat out. They still followed the old routine and rested in the Tianjin Wei Palace for a night before arriving again under the protection of the guards. The Tianjin Port Wharf in Japan.

Emperor Wanli looked at the treasure ship in iron armor shining in the sun from a distance, took a deep breath and said, "This ship is mighty!"

Zhu Changluo said: "This ship is the treasure ship that my son and father will take on this trip. This iron-clad treasure ship is an invincible warship built by Tianjin Wei Shipyard with countless efforts. Moreover, it has gone through two years of sea trials. With this treasure ship as the dragon boat of the father, it is not only mighty and domineering, but also reflects the supreme power of the father!"
