Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Zhu Biao's heart was really heavy today. He knew very well that the current situation was like a lonely boat drifting in the wind and rain.
If you are not careful, the boat will capsize and everyone will die!
As the crown prince, Zhu Biao could only try his best to maneuver in the court.

He had to protect the stability of the court and also take care of his own brothers.

But how can the difficulty be explained in a few words?

Zhu Gang was now very unhappy. He shook his hand and broke free from Zhu Biao's pull.

Then Zhu Gang strode to the side angrily and sat down on the sandalwood chair.

The chair made a dull creaking sound when he sat down on it with such force.

It seemed as if she was protesting, or as if she could not bear Zhu Gang's anger, and she felt aggrieved as well.

He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back heavily, and sank into the chair.

It looked like a rooster that had been defeated but still refused to accept the defeat.

After a moment's silence, Zhu Gang spoke in a muffled voice.

"Humph!

Brother, I am not an ignorant boy, so I naturally know that the case caused a big stir.

But we can't be afraid to do anything because of this.

Brother, stop beating around the bush with me. Did the emperor say something to you in private?
Otherwise, if you were so hesitant today, I would think you would be suspicious of me!

I, Zhu Gang, have always been devoted to our Ming Dynasty!"

After saying that, his brows furrowed even deeper, and the space between his eyebrows was almost twisted into a knot.

Now Zhu Gang's mind was like a tangled mess, totally disorganized.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned slightly, with a hint of bitterness on his face.

It was like swallowing an unripe bitter fruit. The sour taste spread in my heart and lingered for a long time.

He sighed softly, walked slowly to the opposite side of Zhu Gang, and sat down steadily.

Zhu Biao looked at his third brother sincerely, with concern and helplessness in his eyes.

He said softly, "Third brother, you are just imagining things.

Although my father has never said much to me, you have to understand that as the crown prince, I have the entire Ming Dynasty on my shoulders.

Now, everyone in the court is like a frightened bird.

If there is any sign of trouble, they will be in a state of panic all day long.

When we do things, we can't just rely on passion, we also have to judge the situation!"

Zhu Biao paused, leaned forward slightly, and then said: "Speaking of the overseas affairs, it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

But in the current situation, we have to be extremely careful.

Just think about it, if we act rashly because we are impatient.

If there is another disturbance in the court, the consequences will be disastrous.

At that time, not only will all the hard work of you and me brothers be wasted, but I'm afraid it will also cause the emperor to be furious.

This is a crime that you and I cannot bear."

As Zhu Gang listened to his elder brother's words, the anger on his face gradually dissipated.

But what followed was a bit of confusion and helplessness.

He hung his head and stared at his toes, as if a solution to the problem would pop up from the ground.

After a long silence, Zhu Gang slowly raised his head.

There was frustration in his voice, "Brother, I understand what you are saying.

But I just wanted to do more for our Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect this matter to become so complicated and difficult.

So what do you think we should do now?"

Zhu Gang sighed heavily, his frustration and disappointment clearly written on his face. He felt that his plan, which he had been looking forward to, was now like a bubble that burst at the slightest poke. He really had no place to use his strength.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, stroking the corner of his clothes gently.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After about half a cup of tea, Zhu Biao slowly said, "Third brother, this matter cannot be rushed.

We must first control our temper and secretly pay attention to the thoughts of everyone in the court.

Let's see what everyone thinks about the overseas barbarian issue.

Besides, as for your "Development Plan", although the intention is good, the situation is different now.

Some of the details still need to be carefully considered, and those parts that are easy to be misunderstood and inconsistent with the national conditions of our Ming Dynasty need to be carefully revised.

When the time is right, we will go and make suggestions to our father together, so that he can see our sincerity and thoughtfulness. "

When Zhu Gang heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Although the light is still very dim, at least there is a direction.

He nodded gently, "Brother, this is the only way, I hope this matter can be turned around soon.

Please don't put it off any longer, I'm really feeling very upset."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Gang's appearance and felt pity for him.

He reached out and gently patted the other person's hand. The movement was gentle and warm, as if he wanted to pass on strength to Zhu Gang.

Zhu Biao then comforted him softly, "Third brother, don't be discouraged.

If we brothers work together, how could we not come up with a proper solution?

But in the current situation, we have to act more cautiously and carefully.

Look at the Hu Weiyong case. It had an impact not only on the court, but also on the people."

As he spoke, Zhu Biao slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked to the window with steady steps.

He put his hands behind his back, fingers lightly clasped.

Then Zhu Biao looked through the window at the streets and alleys outside the palace.

On the streets outside the palace, the hustle and bustle of the past had long disappeared, and now there were very few pedestrians.

Occasionally a few pedestrians passed by, all in a hurry with uneasy looks on their faces.

As they walked, they lowered their voices and whispered about the changes in the court.

He looked as if he was afraid that others might hear him.

Many shops along the street have closed.

The sign hanging on the door swayed in the wind, making a creaking sound, as if it was helplessly saying that the former prosperity was gone forever.

Zhu Biao looked at the scene with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He couldn't help but shook his head slightly, turned to Zhu Gang and said, "Third brother, look!
Although the common people did not quite understand the power struggles in the court, they were already feeling uneasy when they saw so many officials being arrested because of this case.

They were all worried that the imperial court would become turbulent and their livelihoods would be at risk.

In the streets and alleys, there are endless discussions, and there is no end in sight. "

Zhu Gang also stood up and walked to the window, standing side by side with Zhu Biao.

He placed his hands on the windowsill and leaned out slightly.

Looking at the slightly bleak scene outside the palace, Zhu Gang's face was also full of emotion.

There was a trace of pity in his eyes, and he said softly: "Brother, after all, the people are the ones who suffer from this incident.

I didn't expect that what happened in the court could cause such a big stir among the people.

Then cultural education must not have escaped this disaster, right?" (End of this chapter)
