People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 705: What is Zhu Yuanzhang’s real regret?
What is the greatest pain of a person? The greatest pain is knowing that you can change something, but after doing it, you find that you can't change it by your own strength. No one can understand this kind of pain.

Chen Han is in this kind of pain now, because now he really wants someone to tell him in person that no matter how you do it, it is actually painful, no matter how you do it, you will definitely fail, but no one will tell him, no one will explain these things to him clearly.

Because no one has the same idea as him, not even his wife, because his wife is not a time traveler, because his wife cannot learn so much historical knowledge in modern times.

Therefore, you can only rely on yourself to bear these pains alone. You can only rely on yourself to endure these pains silently. This kind of pain is truly unbearable, and this kind of pain makes people despair.

Because it is obvious that the person in front of you has the same idea as you, and he can often become a person with whom you have a special tacit understanding, but when it comes to this matter, especially such an important matter, he has no way to relieve your pain.

So this is the real source of pain, this is the real unbearable place, and this is the real place that makes Chen Han feel lonely sometimes.

He was not blaming his wife for not being able to understand him, but because his concepts came from modern times, and no one could digest the pain brought about by his ideas and the accumulation of hundreds of years of history for him.

That is why he is in so much pain now, and that is why he can feel the cold feeling of loneliness invading his body here.

He actually didn't want to bear all this pain. He had always been thinking about how to get rid of it. He had always been thinking that through his own efforts he could make the old man live as long as possible and leave this world with as few regrets as possible.

But now he realized that the old man still had many regrets. In fact, the old man had never been so happy to avoid these problems and to achieve the so-called relief.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Han has been in great pain deep in his heart. He does not want the old man to have so many regrets, and he does not want so many people to have such regrets, but he has no way to change it. This is why personal ability, which he has always emphasized, is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under the trend of historical torrent.

He originally thought that he was not that person. He originally thought that he could change everything through his own efforts. He originally thought that he had already done it. But later he found out that he was deceiving himself. In fact, he had not done it at all. He had no right to say that he could change everything.

It is precisely because of this that he feels so guilty now. He feels that he has not done so well in this matter. In fact, he has always felt guilty towards the old man.

Because the old man always thought that Chen Han was a person who could allow him to leave this world without any regrets, but now he realizes that this is not the case. Sometimes Chen Han cannot be so perfect, because Chen Han is not a god. Even if he knows the direction of history, even if he knows what will happen in the future, he cannot change it.

In fact, not many people can understand this kind of pain, and no one has been able to digest it deeply. That is why I know that everyone is in this process now. Chen Han is trying his best to save them, but there is no way to change it.

Zhu Youwei actually felt the same pain her husband was in when she saw him, because she could sense that her husband had always felt guilty about the old man.

But Zhu Youwei actually wanted to say to her husband that there was no need to blame himself so much, he had done well enough, and the Ming Dynasty had made great progress under your changes. If it were not for you, the Ming Dynasty would not be as prosperous as it is today.

But for some reason Zhu Youwei couldn't say this, because for some reason she felt that saying this would be the greatest disrespect to her husband.

Because her husband has always been promoting himself by changing the pattern of the Ming Dynasty, and he has even been working day and night to achieve this goal.

Before, she had always seen her husband, who was full of vigor and energy on the road of reform and innovation, and could be said to be invincible. Even though she knew that there were so many people blocking her way, she had never thought of taking a step back.

Even when his best friend was killed in front of him, he never retreated, even though he was afraid at that time, and even though he initially thought of hiding somewhere else.

But when he came back, he had completed his transformation. He was no longer the person who could be bullied by others, and he was no longer the person who could be assassinated by those assassins.

Even though he knew about those assassins, even though he knew about those interests, and even though the vested interests were furious after their interests were destroyed, he never gave up. This was the husband she knew.

But now her husband is so sad because he saw that his grandfather might soon become old and frail and might leave this world first.

In fact, she has always been very curious about whether her husband would have any special feelings towards the people in this world. She thinks that probably not, because even when facing her, her husband sometimes retains some modern knowledge system, so she thinks her husband should be more relaxed.

But now she realized that this was not the case. Her husband was also an ordinary person. His memories of the beauty of this world were just as fresh. His personal feelings for this world were just as deep.

When she thought of this, she silently reached out and held her husband's hand, and then said, "My husband, you don't need to be so responsible for the things you can't do. You can't change it. Just like everyone is mortal, even if the old man is such a great emperor, you can't let him live forever in this world."

Then seeing that Chen Han's demeanor had improved a little, Zhu Youwei continued, "There are actually a lot we can do now. We can't let the old man leave with so many regrets. We must start doing more things. Just like you told me, women today cannot become the pillars of the family, and they cannot have so much say.

"In this case, we must create some ways for them to make money and support their families. In this case, we should create so many conditions for them to choose from, so that we can truly speak for them." "Ah, if we keep sitting here and talking to ourselves like we are now, always feeling that we are not doing well enough, and then immersing ourselves in such emotions, is this still the man I know who is fearless and wants to reform the Ming Dynasty for the better?"

After Zhu Youwei said this, Chen Han felt a little guilty. Just as his wife said, if he shut himself off because of this matter, he would be really sorry to the old man.

Sometimes when people wake up, it is easy to find that the things they have done before are not so perfect. Just like now, Chen Han suddenly felt that he might be a little one-sided in this matter.

Chen Han looked up at his wife, who gave him an encouraging look. The couple held each other's hands tightly.

Then he said again at this time: "I believe that Grandpa Emperor has always hoped that you can cheer up, even though he knows that he may not be able to see so many results. But now seeing that you are working hard and seeing the changes in our Ming Dynasty, I believe that Grandpa Emperor will be very pleased even if the day really comes when the hundredth anniversary comes."

After hearing his wife's comfort, I don't know why at this time. Chen Han felt a little guilty, because he was a little bit immersed in those thoughts just now, and didn't know how to bring it up. He always felt that he didn't do well enough.

But after hearing what his wife said, he realized that he had actually done quite well. At least that's what his wife thought. It feels really good to have a woman who silently supports you behind your back.

Just at this moment, their son came over slowly with small steps, followed by several little palace maids.

These young palace maids actually live a very good life in the mansion, because Chen Han is not the kind of person who would exploit ordinary people. Of course, he would not expect that the gentry class all over the world would not exploit these ordinary people. He just does his own thing.

It is precisely because of this that the servants in the lake are willing to work in the mansion and like this atmosphere. This is what Chen Han pursues, and this is the real reason why Chen Han always insists on putting the people first.

Many people may say that they are a little naive, and they are indeed very naive, but why do they have to do this? Because they know very well that if they persist in doing so, others will see your kindness and will also show you kindness.

There is no word "exploitation" in Chen Han's dictionary. He can sympathize with the ordinary people at the bottom of society and hopes that through his own efforts he can make their lives relatively better.

It is also because of this that the servants in the lake actually reciprocate and get along very well with Chen Han and the others, just like these little palace maids.

They also took great care of Chen Han and his son.

The couple were extremely happy to see that their son could actually walk, especially Zhu Youwei who immediately stepped forward, no longer as calm as before, and regained her motherly tenderness. She picked up her son, kissed him on the face again and again, and then asked how the kid had been doing recently.
Chen Han could see that his wife showed guilt on her face when she asked these questions, because both husband and wife were very busy people, and sometimes they could hardly see their son for 10 days or half a month.

The little palace maid said, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, you don't know that the young master is actually very clingy. When you are not around, the little guy will babble and ask for you two."

After hearing what the little palace maid said, the couple felt a little guilty. Their son lived under the same roof with them, but because of their busy schedule they were unable to accompany their son as he grew up.

Zhu Youwei said to Chen Han, "Did you see that? Did you see that? How busy have we both been? We don't even know when your son will be able to walk. We've missed so many wonderful moments of his."

Chen Han also quickly apologized, "Why do you say that I am a qualified minister, but not a qualified father? The old man always talks about wanting to see his great-grandson, but I, as a father, work hard outside. Sometimes I don't even go home for 10 days or half a month."

When he thought about what he owed his son, he suddenly realized that the biggest regret of his life was probably that he had not been able to gather his children and grandchildren together to talk. As an emperor, he could not enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren around him like ordinary people.

But Chen Han would never be naive enough to think that the old man would be happy as long as he summoned back those princes outside.

Because Chen Han knew that he was living in a real Ming Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty in women's novels. In women's novels, one could summon the princes from far away places just to see their children and grandchildren, but the real Ming Dynasty did not allow such impulsive things.

So Chen Han finally understood what the old man was missing. What he actually lacked was this warmth.

But even though Chen Han knew that the old man lacked this warmth and kindness, he had no way to make up for this regret for him because the old man was the emperor.

Thinking of this, Chen Han once again felt that he could not make up for the old man's happiness of having his children and grandchildren around him, so he had to let the old man satisfy the happiness of seeing his real grandson...
