Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Inside the Wuying Hall, Crown Prince Zhu Biao's eyes sparkled with admiration at the breadth of mind and courage displayed by his father.

It is really rare to see a father in this state.

However, every time it is shown, it has an incomparable charm.

These are his teachers, the professors are not coming.

Surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Just thinking about this makes people feel extremely excited.

That was the Han and Tang dynasties! Not just any other dynasties!

Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty that could surpass the Han and Tang dynasties.

It is not even comparable to the Han and Tang dynasties.

It is already a remarkable thing that the Ming Dynasty can catch up with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

If one day, his Ming Dynasty could surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, Crown Prince Zhu Biao would feel excited just thinking about it.

Some want to have a fight.

That kind of scene is really exciting.

Zhu Biao had never even thought of this before.

Because the closer one gets to his position, as long as he is not so arrogant and can face the situation squarely, the more he will understand how difficult it is to surpass the Han and Tang dynasties!

After all, before the Tang Dynasty, the goal of countless ambitious emperors was the rule of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

But after the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, appeared.

The targets of subsequent emperors all became this emperor.

If after the Ming Dynasty, the emperors who come after him would make his father, or his future self, the goal to catch up with, then the matter would be completely settled. Just thinking about it makes people excited!

Just as Zhu Biao was deeply inspired and moved by the broad-mindedness, ambition, ideals, and the aura that his father had shown.

But suddenly he heard his father sigh.

The aura that had been displayed on my father's face just now disappeared in an instant.

When Zhu Biao saw this situation, he was stunned for a moment.

No...my father was fine, why did he suddenly start sighing again?

Isn’t the contrast too great?
"Surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties! Biaoer, this is really difficult to do.

Even if we can see the future through some means, we can avoid some pitfalls based on the future development of our Ming Dynasty.

However, it is still not easy to surpass the Han and Tang dynasties.

Their height is simply too high!
Especially the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, and the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

That is really hard to surpass.

Even catching up is extremely difficult.

The main reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang lived was that he lived too long. If he had died earlier, he would not have been emperor for such a long time.

The Kaiyuan Period of Prosperity was also an extremely high peak!

Just the things that Mei Yin was planning to make.

It may be difficult to achieve these.

In fact, there is basically no hope.”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and spoke out.

Don't look at how excited he was just now.

But by this time reason had returned.

Although we have grand ideals, we must also be down-to-earth.

He knew how big the gap was between his place and the reigns of Emperors Wen and Jing and Emperor Zhenguan.

How hard it is to catch up.

Although he had some hope for what Mei Yin had accomplished.

But deep down in my heart, if I really want to talk about it, I hope that what Mei Yin has done can surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In his heart, he didn't really believe it.

After all, the Han and Tang dynasties stood too high.

What Mei Yin did seemed to be quite innovative.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea how much of a role it would play in the future.

He felt that at best he could train some relevant talents.

Make some changes in your Ming Dynasty.

But this change is limited.

He wanted to rely on these people to provide a great boost and help his Ming Dynasty take a big step forward.

I'm afraid it's extremely difficult.

It can even be said that there is no hope at all...

After understanding Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, Crown Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the heights of the Han and Tang dynasties.

I feel that this is somewhat difficult.

"If that's the case, then why did you, Father, agree to my second brother-in-law doing this?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and told the truth.

"If there is any chance, just try it!"

Let him work on it. It would be best if he could produce some flowers.

There's no loss if you can't figure it out.

Even if you go through all the trouble, not only will you not get any results, but you will also end up making some mistakes.

That's okay too.

How big a mess can it be?
We can take it on here.

Let him do what he wants!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Biao finally understood his father's attitude on this matter.

However, if I think about it carefully, I do think it is normal for my father to have such an attitude.

Although Zhu Biao was a little worried about what Mei Yin had done, he still had high expectations in his heart.

At this time, after hearing what his father said.

It also gradually subsided the passion in my heart.

Looking back at this matter, I also feel that what my father said is very right.

It's really not easy to accomplish this task.

The difficulty is too great.

To surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, based on what my second brother-in-law has done, it is indeed difficult to achieve.

It’s not that Zhu Biao didn’t attach importance to these things, but that he started from the facts.

However, it is not surprising that Zhu Biao and others would have such thoughts, and it is understandable.

After all, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang lived in this era.

I don’t know what the future will be like.

I wonder how many earth-shaking changes the so-called ingenuity of this era has caused in later generations!
If they look at these things based on their current perspectives and inherent ideas, they will naturally get some different results.

Even Mei Yin has produced a lot of good things.

It played a significant role.

However, it is still difficult to break the inherent ideas.

Especially when we connect this matter with the grand goal of surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties.

I will feel more powerless...

……

“I hope you, little bastard, can come up with something different.

If you can really do what you said, then we will forgive you for all the disrespect you have shown to your father-in-law.

Later on, I will confer the title of Duke on you.

The kind that can rest with the country!"

In the Wuying Hall, after Crown Prince Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said something like this.
If other people heard this, they would be shocked.

Rest with the country!

The founding duke
This is what many people dream of!

It is something many people dare not even dream of!
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only six dukes were conferred.

All of these six people have made great military achievements.

Of course, except Li Shanchang.

But what Li Shanchang achieved was not a military achievement.

His contributions in other areas are great.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang said he wanted to confer the title of Duke on Mei Yin!
The kind that founded a country!

Not only that, we must also rest with the country.

What a big cake and what a reward this is!
As long as the Ming Dynasty survives, it can be passed down!

The most important thing is that Mei Yin is a little different from the others who were granted the title of Duke.

Mei Yin is the son-in-law of the emperor.

If you really count it, he can be classified as a relative by marriage.

After the Han Dynasty, there were not many people who held great power as the son-in-law of the emperor.

But now, Mei Yin has not only been conferred the title of Shuangshui Earl, but in the future he will most likely be conferred the title of Duke, and live and die with the country!

Add these two together and the weight will become even heavier!

Even more unimaginable?

If this kind of thing were really put into practice, I wonder what a sensation it would cause!

After saying these words, Zhu Yuanzhang stood here and thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head.

I feel like I think too much.

This is impossible.

I'm afraid it would be difficult to give up the title of Duke.

Or there is no possibility at all.

Although this brat Mei Yin has always performed quite well.

It often brings great surprises to people.

And when he said these words to Biaoer, he also spoke with great confidence.

It outlines a bright future.

However, what I want is to surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties!

What he came up with did have some effect.

How could it have such a great effect?

The Han and Tang dynasties are really not so easy to surpass!

Zhu Yuanzhang decided not to have too much expectations on this.

Otherwise, having too high expectations now will sap you of greater disappointment in the future.

The more uncomfortable it is.

After calming down, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think too much about it.

At this time, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who had just left, came back. "Biao'er, what's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao who had returned and said with confusion.

"Father, I heard everything you said just now!

You said that if your second brother-in-law achieves such great success in the future, you will confer the title of Duke on him, and his family will inherit the title and live with the country forever!

You can’t cheat on this matter!”

Zhu Biao did not answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question. Instead, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Hey! You bastard! You've even learned how to eavesdrop!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed when he heard this.

But you can still tell that he's not angry at all.

Instead, it brings endless joy.

Zhu Biao said, "I was not eavesdropping, it was you who spoke louder, father."

"Ah, yes, yes, it was us who spoke louder, not us who eavesdropped.

How could our Biaoer be such a person? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was quick to accept good advice.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Father, this is really a coincidence.

The child suddenly remembered something and forgot to tell his father, so he hurried back.

Who would have thought that I would hear these words from you, my father?
Father, I will tell my second brother-in-law what you said when I meet him in the future.
I want to give my second brother-in-law a big encouragement.

Let him understand how much benefit he will get once he accomplishes this.

I think he will be very motivated when he comes.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded nonchalantly and said, "Okay, go ahead and say it if you want to!"

"Then Father, you must not go back on your words when the time comes."

Zhu Biao continued to give him vaccinations.

"When have we ever broken our promises?
If only Mei Yin, that bastard, could really accomplish this.

It really played a huge role in allowing our Ming Dynasty to surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties.

We can just confer him the title of Duke, a title that will be hereditary and endure with the country. So what?
I’m just afraid that we can afford it, but he can’t take it!
If he really has the ability to get it, we will be so happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said.

It’s not that he looks down on Mei Yin’s abilities.

In fact, he also knew how difficult what he asked for was!
"By the way, Biao'er, what are you doing here?"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk about it any further.

He looked at Zhu Biao and asked.

He remembered that his family member Biaoer said that he remembered something and suddenly turned back.

"Father, this is my second brother-in-law's way of showing filial piety to you, Father and Mother.

A sunroom was built in my father's Qianqing Palace and my mother's Kunning Palace.

When my father is free, I can sit inside and enjoy the sunshine.

It's still really warm in there.

The kid tried it there yesterday.

It is really nice and comfortable. ”

Zhu Biao is indeed a good person. He always thinks about Mei Yin and will not take all the benefits for himself.

For example, let’s talk about these things with Zhu Yuanzhang now.

It is said that Mei Yin wanted to show his filial piety to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

Instead of saying that he spoke to Mei Yin.

A person's character can be seen in the details, especially when he is behind someone's back.

From this we can see what kind of person Zhu Biao is.

"The kind he made out of that glass?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Biao nodded: "Yes, Father, that's it."

"No! That's colored glass. Colored glass that sells for a high price is more valuable than gold!

Now we use this thing to build a sun room, we can't afford it!"

As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang refused outright.

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Father, it's not a question of whether you can afford it or not.

Is this thing so valuable?

It may seem valuable to others, but how valuable can it be when we use it ourselves?
The colored glaze is nothing but sand and some other things, which are made by firing.

Of course it’s expensive to sell to others, but it’s not that expensive for personal use.”

"Then sell this thing to others, and you can make a lot of money.

This money can be used for many things, including military and national affairs, and it is very useful. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards this matter was very firm.

"Father, please build one. It will keep you warm when you are free.

You and your mother are getting older day by day..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone softened a lot: "Biao'er, we can't use this thing.

We stay in the Wuying Palace all day long, so how can we have the time to go to the sun room?

This is for the idlers.

Here we use ceramic pots for heating, which is quite good?

If that doesn't work, we can just put on some thicker clothes."

Zhu Biao tried to persuade him, but failed in the end.

Zhu Yuanzhang only agreed to build a sunroom in the place given to Empress Ma.

Let Queen Ma enjoy herself inside.

As for him, he firmly refused.

Seeing that there was no way to convince his father, Zhu Biao did not say any more about it.

It would be nice to build one for my mother.

As for the father...

It seems that what my father said is quite right.

His daily routine consisted of eating in the morning and evening, sleeping, and attending court.

The rest of the time, he stayed in the Wuying Palace all day and rarely went anywhere else.

There is really no need for a sun room.

Zhu Biao quickly went to Kunning Palace, met his mother, and told her about this.

Queen Ma also felt that it was a bit too expensive.

There is no need for this

But after hearing that it was Mei Yin's filial piety, he agreed to this matter.

Since this is a filial act from my good son-in-law, I will accept it.

Your good son-in-law is no one else, so there is no need to make things so clear.

However, Queen Ma had some reservations about whether this sunroom was as good as her family's description.

I feel like no matter how good this thing is, how good can it be?

At most, it is only slightly better than burning charcoal for heating.

It won’t be much better…

After dealing with all these, Zhu Biao returned to Wenhua Hall.

I handled some of the government affairs that I was supposed to handle...

The next day, he went to Shuangshui Village in person to meet Mei Yin again.

Tell Mei Yin that he can build a sunroom for his mother.

Of course, if it was just this piece of news, there would be no need for Zhu Biao to make the trip in person.

The reason why he made such a trip was because he wanted to tell my second brother-in-law about the huge reward that his father had obtained - the title of Duke and the life span of the country.

Let your second brother-in-law be happy in advance.

Zhu Biao knew very well how to motivate people most effectively.

Since you have decided to do this, just say it in advance.

Inform the person being motivated.

In this way, better results can be achieved.

If I don't say it now, given my father's personality, he will definitely not tell you these things.

Then wait until the task is almost completed, or after a long time, and then let my second brother-in-law know about it, and prepare to motivate him...

That really has no effect...

"Second brother-in-law, my father didn't agree and said he couldn't use him.

But I want to let the Queen Mother install one."

Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and said.

Mei Yin was not too surprised by this result.

However, it can be seen from here that Zhu Yuanzhang loved Empress Ma very much.

That really is love to the core.

He was reluctant to use this thing himself, but wanted to get one for Empress Ma.

He immediately agreed to it.

“Okay, big brother, I’ll go over there in a moment to check out the construction location and determine the size.

After all these are determined, people will start making them.

The weather is getting cold, so we need to get this sunroom ready as soon as possible."

"Second brother-in-law, just do what you want."

After saying this, Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and told him the huge reward that his father had mentioned.

Mei Yin was shocked when he heard such news from Zhu Biao.

Long live!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been stingy, has become so generous this time?
Even such a huge reward was given out? !
He was granted the title of Duke, and he lived and died together with the country!

After Mei Yin came to the Ming Dynasty, he realized more and more personally how valuable the title of Duke was during Zhu Yuanzhang's time!

That is really not something that ordinary people can obtain!

"Okay, brother, I'll make a note of this!

I will work hard next time and try not to disappoint my father and elder brother.

And take all the extra rewards given by the emperor!"

Mei Yin said this very seriously.

From the huge reward offered by Zhu Yuanzhang, it can be seen that both Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were not optimistic about what they were going to do.
Otherwise, such a huge reward would not be given out all at once.

However, Mei Yin was particularly clear about how powerful the things he was going to teach were!
Once it can be spread out, it will definitely have endless uses!
Generate a power that can astonish all people of the era!

In Mei Yin's opinion, this excess reward given by Lao Zhu was clearly a gift to him!

How could he miss such a good thing?
