Father can be an enemy to the country

"What's wrong? You don't have to be controlled by us anymore. Are you happy?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face.

"No, no, I don't mean that." Lao Twelve hurriedly explained: "Brother Eleven and I just admire Brother Six, and we don't mean to disrespect our father at all."

"Yes." Zhu Chun also nodded and said steadily: "If you can't get personal teachings from your father and eldest brother, it's best to follow your sixth brother."

"Humph, that's quite reasonable..." Zhu Yuanzhang stopped being jealous of Lao Liu and asked, "What do you admire about him?"

"Although Sixth Brother is only seven years older than us, he has already made so many contributions and done so many great things, and he has become the third prince!" Lao Twelve said with admiration: "I heard that Sixth Brother is twelve years old We were already on our own when we were 12 years old. We had not even left the palace when we were twelve years old."

"Yes." Old Eleven nodded in agreement.

"Ten years ago? He was alone?" Zhu Yuanzhang was confused and asked the prince: "What did the sixth man do ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago was the eighth year of Hongwu. He and his brothers returned to Fengyang to practice." Zhu Biao reminded his father in a low voice.

"Then he just goes back to herd cattle and beg for food?" Zhu Yuanzhang also whispered.

"It should be the theater troupe he formed. He was the leader at the time, so maybe he was in charge of his own role." The prince guessed.

"Oh, this guy is really good at blowing..." Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and subconsciously wanted to hurt Lao Liu again. The prince coughed, indicating that he could not damage Lao Liu's image in the hearts of his brothers.

He had no choice but to stop cursing and made a rare positive comment to Lao Liu: "It's true, although he is a few years older than you, he is the one who has made the greatest contribution among all the princes. Otherwise, why would he be the third prince?"

"He has really done a lot for us over the years - he was the one who put down the civil unrest caused by the market depression in Suzhou. Under his hands, Suzhou not only regained its prosperity, but also became the richest city in the Ming Dynasty."

"If the Jiangxi Yellow Register pilot program could not be implemented, it was him who took care of it. He took care of all aspects of Jiangxi under Zhang Daren and successfully completed Jiangxi's Yellow Register, Qingzhang and Lijia." He said with his two sons. He emphasized: "Later, we tried it in Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang. It took several years to cross the river by feeling the stones. This shows how capable you Sixth Brother is."

"Not to mention the recent deeds such as the conquest of Japan, the peace of Yunnan, and the founding of Guozi University. If you can have the same cultural and martial arts skills as Lao Liu, we will be very satisfied." He looked at his two sons, full of expectations. road.

"My son, I must try my best to learn from Brother Six and make my father proud!" Lao Twelve was extremely excited. Young people are like this. They always think that if others can do it, they can do it themselves.

Old Eleven was much calmer and just said softly: "My son, I will try not to disappoint my father."

"Don't think that our requirements are very low. It's not easy to do any of the things Lao Liu did." Zhu Yuanzhang poured cold water on Lao Twelve and said: "You may not be able to do any of them in your life. Some of them are. Things are innate and cannot be learned.”

"Yes, Father." Lao Twelve suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Raise your head." Zhu Yuanzhang said slightly sternly: "Remember, following your sixth brother, it is good to learn from his skills. If you can't learn from him, learn from his good qualities. This can be learned, You must learn it too!”

"Yes, Father." The two sons hurriedly responded with half-understanding.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that they didn't understand at their age, so he had to speak more clearly: "Do you know what the best quality is in your sixth brother?"

"Very resourceful and omnipotent!" Lao Twelve replied hurriedly.

"No." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively and said: "He has a pure heart! Everything he has done over the years has been for the Ming Dynasty and for our family! He will never do anything that harms the country or our family. It’s something!”

"If you don't believe me, look at these years, if we asked him to go to Japan, he would go to Japan, if we asked him to go to Yunnan, he would go to Yunnan, if we asked him to set up Guozi University, he would go to set up Guozi University, and after finishing it, he would be successful and retire. No nostalgia. How could the father not like such a son? How could the emperor not love such a prince?"

As he spoke, he said in a more serious tone: "You guys should learn from him first and always have an innocent heart. This way you will never make the same mistakes as those three bastards, and you will be able to live a peaceful and happy life. "

"Yes, please remember your father's teachings." The two sons agreed.

When Boss Zhu was training his son, Zhu Biao listened quietly and did not interrupt.

It wasn't until he left Wuying Hall with his two younger brothers that he asked them, "Did you understand what my father said?"

"I understand some, but not everything." Old Eleven said softly.

"Don't you just want us to be as innocent as Sixth Brother?" Lao Twelve said directly: "Be a good son of your father, a good minister of the Ming Dynasty, and a good brother of your eldest brother." Big brother told us to chase the dogs but not the chickens, and let us go east instead of west."

"Hahaha, Lao Liu is not like that." Zhu Biao was afraid that his father would take them into a ditch, so he corrected them: "He always just does what he thinks is right, and it is definitely not what Father asked him to do. He does whatever he wants. That’s not what a prince of the Ming Dynasty should be like. If Lao Liu was really like that, he wouldn’t have achieved what he has today.”

"That's it..." The eleventh and the twelfth suddenly felt that the elder brother's words were more reliable. Because they had heard too many heroic deeds of the sixth brother in the palace since they were young. Apart from the eldest brother, he was the only brother who dared to challenge his father. How could he be as honest and obedient as his father said? Woolen cloth?

"As the princes of the Ming Dynasty, you should be like him, have your own clear view of right and wrong, and clearly know what you should do and what you should not do. I think this is what you urgently need to establish." The prince said seriously:

"You know, you are different from the children of ordinary people. It is relatively simple for ordinary people to teach their children that good is right and evil is wrong. Even if the parents are confused and cannot teach their children clearly, it does not matter. At most, If you don’t live your own life well, you won’t be able to affect others.”

"But you are princes, and you will become a vassal in a few years. Any decision you make will change the fate of millions of people. Right and wrong suddenly become much more complicated." The prince then gave two examples:

"Emperor Wu of Liang cared deeply for his brothers and children and was extremely tolerant. With the morality of ordinary people, this cannot be said to be wrong, but it was a great disaster to the country and the people. Cao Mengde used the emperor to order the princes. From the level of ordinary people's morality, naturally, He is a treacherous official with a pale face, but he is of great benefit to the country and the people."

"But when I give these two examples, I definitely don't mean that being born into an emperor's family is free from moral and legal constraints." Zhu Biao was afraid that the two of them had misunderstood, so he quickly emphasized:

"Those of your brothers made big mistakes because they had this kind of concept. Don't imitate them."

"Yes, brother." The two brothers agreed solemnly.
