The emperor of the Ming and Yuan dynasties heard the cold sweat falling down. He wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain it.
Prince An Feng continued: "You do not evaluate the prince’s ability. You will put preference and preference as the most important thing. The flatterer will take a high look. Those who are disobedient will not consider it. This will lead to the issue of the country’s foundation, which will be disturbed for a long time. It was a storm in the city, until the establishment of Yu Wenhao as the prince, you were unwilling, always afraid of wrong standing, and let Yu Wenan sit again and again. If the prince did not contain it, Yu Wen'an's ambitions have not ceased. There is also the Mafeng Mountain incident, and the conditions in the middle school were bad at that time. , Several offenses from the surrounding area, Xianbei and Beimo watched closely, most of the energy of the middle school was transferred to the border. When you became the throne, you could have taken care of the people’s livelihood, reformed medical care, and education, but you didn’t do anything. Follow your father’s last resort, until the crown prince is cured of leprosy patients and you feel safe, and then you are determined to reform. Over the years, you have made no mistakes, but you have not done much. When you sent troops to Bei Desert, you have repeatedly shuddered. , I missed the best time. Fortunately, the prince did not listen to you and secretly used weapons. Otherwise, today’s Northern Tang Palace would have been bloody, and you are sitting high on the throne today, ordering the officials?"
"If you say it yourself, you can only tell you the year after your ascension to the throne. You went to the disaster area when the Huaijiang River was flooded, and you did not close your eyes for three days and three nights. Talking about you as a sage, but even now, you have never made a decree to build a dam, and the disaster is still there."
"You can spend these years safely, not because of how lucky you are, but because of the presence of Chu Xiaowu, your father abdicated, Chu Xiaowu needn't be the first assistant, in order to support you, he is not in good health, so he still serves as the head. As an assistant, you really embarrass him. All these years just wipe your ass and exhaust his energy. In order to revitalize farming and suppress commerce, all the farmers are named as good people, in order to increase the number of cultivated land and reclaim the wasteland. You open the prison door. Regardless of whether you are homicide or exiled, you will all be sent to reclamation. After three years of reclamation, you will be forgiven for the crime and be issued with a good citizen certificate. This has led to an increase in local homicides. The Yamen set up a special anti-criminal team, and almost died on the road. There are countless things like this. What face do you have, saying that you are a meritorious emperor? Don’t argue that your father’s dynasty used to do this, but he At that time, it was a last resort. After so many years of fighting, the national power was weak and the people were gone. You can only do this, but you don't need it. When he abdicated, he has cleared most of the obstacles for you."
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was as gray as death, he could not refute Prince Anfeng, he was indeed not Mingjun.
After counting, Prince Anfeng looked at his expression and said, "But, although you have done nothing, you have not made a big mistake. You are indeed not an incompetent emperor. You know right and wrong, and you are dedicated to the people, and you are diligent and diligent. Honest, not indulging in pleasure, focusing on political affairs, the people are willing to call you a statement king, not because of your great achievements, but you did not add too much chaos to this country. This king does not blame you, he established you at the beginning Being a prince is because you have the feelings of a family, a country, and the world. You are diligent and willing to be wronged for the Northern Tang Dynasty. You value the country and despise yourself. But when you no longer have these, you are not worthy to be the emperor. Now, it looks like the world. Once you have been promoted, you have suddenly become important, and you are starting to be petty, but your father and the first assistant, in the ten years or more you have been the king, have polished their energy, and this time with Bei Mo Do they still have the strength to watch you continue to be mediocre? When you should make drastic reforms, you still stagnated, and even got angry at this time. Do you think this emperor can still be the emperor? This king does not give you this face and leads his troops to besie the imperial city, just to tell you that if you are not an emperor, this king can replace you at any time, you can choose to continue to be mediocre, or you can choose to use the magi to abolish the bad governance. Promoting water conservancy, building roads, developing farming, revitalizing the economy, enhancing national power, military, and stabilizing Beitang’s position, because the next two decades are of vital importance. Beitang can only do what the king said. It can really be compared with Dazhou, Dayue, Daxing and other countries, otherwise, it will still be backward."
The Emperor Ming Yuan felt that his heart was cold and hot, and he felt blood rushing to his head all over his body, and then faded with a sudden bang. The whole body was cold. He always thought he was doing a good job, and the people thought so, but He dreamed back at midnight, always guilty, it can be seen that Prince Anfeng said nothing wrong, he did not make a big mistake, but it was also useless.
The twenty-year development that Prince Anfeng has been emphasizing is exactly the same as the Emperor Taishang once said to him, but he did not feel that there is such an urgency, because the North Desert has been hit hard and a peace agreement has been signed. If the North Desert violates it, the Northern Tang Dynasty It is possible to reinvigorate the righteous division and conquer the northern desert.
In his opinion, what is wrong with vigorously developing farming? Only when the people are full can they develop their national power, and he has not fallen behind in the business economy. In the past two years, he has been developing. Although this is what the fifth child has to do, there is no conflict with his original intention. He even married the princess to Lengxian to improve his status as a merchant.
He did what he thought should be done. As for what is not so urgent and the national strength does not allow it, he is also powerless.
He chewed this sentence repeatedly in his heart, but he heard Prince Anfeng say again, "Twenty years are not for you to develop. In these twenty years, there will be various contradictions and domestic contradictions. , Some frictions with neighboring countries, so you can’t get tired, you can’t relax, and you can’t delay. To be an emperor, nothing is too much!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him blankly, didn't he want to force the palace? Why did you teach him
Prince An Feng also looked at him, "So, do you admit that you are confused? This king just asked you why this king has not come for so many years, but has come now? You didn't even think about other possibilities, just thinking about this The king covets you as an emperor, the world is so great, and everything is not for one reason. If your mind stays the same, you will be complacent. If you don’t explore other fields or explore other possibilities, Beitang will be just like you. Stand still forever!"
"So, don't you come to force the palace?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked.
He patted the Ming and Yuan Emperor on the shoulder, "For a country, crises are always everywhere. Think about it. Don't always yell that you are not wrong. When you were born, you know you are mediocre, and your father is exhausted. , To make plans for you, although not satisfied for many years, I do not interfere with you too much. I am afraid of damaging your reign, and I will be afraid to be the emperor. He is struggling to support him with his aging body. When you are backing, this time seems to be The prince has a dispute with you, but in fact, the prince is a beacon he chose for you. He is afraid that if he is not there, you will be wary of the prince again, then he can already foresee the future of Beitang He must make sure that you believe in the prince seriously and truly achieve a level of peace, and will not threaten the status of the country because of other princes or princes, so he can rest assured. He is not partial to the prince or fighting for the prince’s status, he I'm afraid that you will be angry for a while, be favored for a while, it will damage your brother's harmony, ruin his decades of planning and ruin the northern Tang Dynasty!"
Prince Anfeng paused, raised his head, his eyes were as cold as electricity, "If you do this, this king will definitely come again, follow the edict of the Emperor Xianye, ascend the throne as the emperor, so do it yourself!"
