Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 73 Is there really a Tao on this day?

In the main hall of the Forbidden City, a group of officials from the Imperial College were busy.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally supervised the inspection, with no expression on his face.

The princes were also taken aback by this sudden situation, completely unaware of what happened, and could only wait quietly.

Even Song Lian, who was in charge of lecturing at this time, didn't dare to go up and ask for a while.

Although Prince Zhu Biao left his classroom again.

He has tried to talk about this question several times, but Zhu Yuanzhang directly blocked him.

Song Lian is a bit awkward, but not stupid.

Therefore, he could only stop lecturing and wait silently.

"Your Majesty, I have found it!"

Soon someone found it, and the book was handed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is a record of visits to Liaodong during the prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and flipped through it.

He immediately searched for the description of the land conditions in Liaodong.

Thousands of miles in the wild!

Such a description is almost the same as what Zhu Biao said in the letter, no, it should be the same as what Su Jing described.

Even the bitterly cold place in Liaodong, where the Khitan lived, used to have tens of thousands of mu of fertile land.

"Keep looking."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The crowd started to get busy again.

"I don't know what the father is looking for, but the minister also wants to share his worries for the father."

The second prince Zhu Xi came to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although the other princes didn't speak, they also stood behind Zhu Xi together, the meaning was self-evident.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sons and became a little interested, so he threw the book he found in his hand to them:
"Look, can you see something?"

Zhu Xi immediately picked up the book and opened it, and read it together with the other princes.

They were really curious about what their father suddenly came over to look for.

However, when they saw it, they couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Local conditions in Liaodong in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

what is this?
Zhu Xi and the other princes stared at each other with great doubts in their big eyes.

Of course, there was another prince who didn't even look at it.

That was Zhu Di, the fourth child, who had no interest in studying.

Leading troops to fight is his dream.

Most of the time he dealt with the essay writing in the main hall, and only when the generals were giving lectures would he cheer up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has also found it."

Another classic book was sent over, but it was the situation in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was also the situation in Liaodong Khitan.

Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced briefly, then threw it to the sons in front of him.

In this way, in front of Zhu Xi and other princes, many books soon appeared.

They are mainly concentrated in the Tang Dynasty, but they are mainly recorded in the land and astronomical conditions of the prosperous Kaiyuan period and the last period.

It can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to create a good learning environment for Prince Zhu Biao.

The collection of books here is simply a big encyclopedia.

It directly saves Zhu Yuanzhang the effort of collecting everywhere.

"Well, do you see anything?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Xi touched his head, a little embarrassed, because he really didn't see anything.

It's just some records, and something can be seen.

"Father, my son has something to say."

The third prince Zhu Yan suddenly said.

The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Okay, third child, tell me."

Zhu Bing paused and said, "Father, what you show us is the comparison between the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, and you want to warn us that even the Tang Dynasty, which had a prosperous Kaiyuan period, will cause changes in the sky if it is not properly governed. , attracting the wrath of heaven, which leads to perdition.”

Zhu Yan's answer can be described as quite standard.

Even Song Lian on the side nodded slightly. Among the many princes, besides the prince Zhu Biao, the third prince Zhu Bian was his favorite.

The brain is very smart, and can often draw inferences from one instance.

"Yes, what the third brother said is exactly what I want to say."

The second prince Zhu Xi immediately agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Chen, but looked at Zhu Fan and said, "Third son, do you think that the reason for this day's anger and change is because the king has no way?"

Zhu Yan nodded and said: "Father, since ancient times, kings have been entrusted with the destiny, just like the father is the man of destiny, established the Ming Dynasty, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

This rainbow fart was shot quite well.

However, for the current Zhu Yuanzhang, it is not very useful.

First of all, he has gone through a lot from beggar to emperor. He doesn't believe in such things as destiny.

He believed in himself more than destiny.

Secondly, in Zhu Biao's letter, he described what Su Jing said in detail, and even accompanied it with the mysterious map.

Now that the records of ancient books have been found, it even confirms Su Jing's remarks.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't point it out directly, but looked at Zhu Min and said, "My third son, you usually read well."

Zhu Yan immediately said: "Father, it is all taught by Master Song, and my son is just following the teachings of Master Song."

Even though Zhu Yan is young, he is quite smart.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and turned to look at Song Lian: "Song Tiju is educating the prince for me, I have bothered you."

Song Lian's face was filled with emotion, and the old tears almost fell down. He immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Thanks to His Majesty's love, I just did what I should do."

The prince Zhu Biao repeatedly went to Su Jing's to study, which made Song Lian no longer know how to deal with himself.

Don't think he wants to teach all the princes, but his most important name is the prince teacher.

As a result, the prince's teacher did not teach the prince, and he had to be criticized by others.

Song Lian is suffering!

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to mention himself, how could Song Lian not be moved.

However, he hadn't been moved for too long, and Zhu Yuanzhang's words made him at a loss again.

"Third, you answered well, but I don't think so."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Song Lian was taken aback, what does this mean?
Just after I said that I had worked hard in teaching, I turned around and said that I didn't think so.

Isn't this just staggering yourself?

Zhu Yan also immediately said: "I also ask Father to clear up the confusion."

He answered according to the standard answer, why would his father not approve?
In Zhu Yan's heart, it was quite doubtful.

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "I think that the so-called destiny is just a celestial phenomenon. It will come when it should come, and it will go when it should go."

"It has nothing to do with destiny that I can take down Daming, but depends on myself."

Su Jing's whole set of climatological theories, let Zhu Yuanzhang say that he must not be able to explain it.

But this does not prevent him from acknowledging Su Jing's theory.

"Father is wise and powerful, so naturally he depends on himself. What kind of fate is nothing in front of Father."

At this time, Zhu Xi is blowing rainbow farts again.

He doesn't have the brains of the third brother Zhu Yan, but he is still very good at flattering.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and continued: "Someone told me that this celestial phenomenon is reincarnation."

"In the prosperous Kaiyuan period at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, even the bitterly cold place in Liaodong, where the Khitan lived, was fertile and wild."

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a three-year drought, and the people had no harvest."

"It was true in the Song Dynasty, and it was also true in the Yuan Dynasty."

"This is the change of celestial phenomenon reincarnation, which has nothing to do with the king, just like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, it just changes naturally."

Zhu Yuanzhang directly stated Su Jing's conclusion.

As soon as these words came out, a group of princes were immediately stunned, including everyone present.

Those people in the Imperial College who were looking for something just now knelt down in fright.

"Father, do you mean that such a celestial phenomenon will also occur in my Ming Dynasty?"

The third child, Zhu Yan, had a quick brain reaction and blurted out.

But as soon as he said it, Zhu Yan realized that there was something wrong with his words.

Isn't this the same as the dynasty before the Juda Ming reunion because of the celestial phenomena?

"Father, this son is not like this"

"Third brother, don't be nervous."

Zhu Yuan still wanted to explain, but Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "I'm not that weak, the people who said this to me are fine, and you will be fine."

Compared with the theory of the demise of the dynasty that Su Jing said before, the contradiction between man and land and the annexation of land.

This natural climate change is not a big deal in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Of course, this is in comparison.

"You don't have to kneel anymore, just keep looking for me."

Zhu Yuanzhang said something again, and then everyone started to act.

But at this moment, he was obviously more restrained.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."

Song Lian came to Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, and said without fear.

"Song Tiju has something to say, and I don't blame you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.

In fact, he also wanted to know what Song Lian thought of Su Jing's remarks.

Song Lian lowered his head slightly and said, "I think what Your Majesty just said, the changes in the celestial phenomena corresponding to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, doesn't it just prove that the destiny is there, and only a virtuous king can make the weather go smoothly, and a foolish one will only lead to natural disasters."

Don't look at the ancients, many times science did not develop, and some feudal theories emerged.

But this is also their summary of the corresponding laws after the occurrence of things and phenomena.

Maybe the reason is wrong, but in their own logical core, it can be established.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian and said, "What Song Tiju said makes some sense."

"It's just that I want to ask you a question."

Song Lian straightened his body, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Actually, it's not my problem, but the crown prince's doubts. I can be regarded as conveying it on my behalf."

Prince!

It's Su Jing again!

Song Lian immediately realized that this matter is still related to Su Jing!

What is this guy teaching the prince?
Thinking of this, Song Lian made up his mind to answer this question well.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "If the king has no way and will bring natural disasters, then it is fine for the king, why should it be imposed on the people."

"When a natural disaster strikes, it is not the king who suffers the most, but the people."

"The king has no way, it is the people who suffer, and it is the people who suffer from natural disasters. Is there really a way?"

"The crown prince said, the king has no way, why are the people innocent? How can Song Tiju explain it?"

This is Zhu Biao's thinking, and it is also the key reason why he does not want to believe in the destiny.

Yes!

The king has no way, you can just mess with the king, why do you mess with the people?

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, would say this. For other emperors, they all need the Mandate of Heaven to confirm the correctness of their ruling status and prevent others from questioning it.

Lao Zhu's son of heaven, he did not inherit it, but he made it himself. Who dares to question it?

Song Lian froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
