Ye Chunqiu often thinks, and sometimes doubts life.

People are indeed cheap animals. Those who are displaced want to have a stable and comfortable life. People who are stable and comfortable always want to have more passion in their lives. If they have a humble ideal, they will probably drink and go up to brothels. If they have lofty ideals like the little emperor, they actually want to guard the country.

Well, at least there is no need to pour cold water on people. Everyone says that the little emperor is crazy, but to take a step back, at least the crazy person is not worldly.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's serious look, Ye Chunqiu understood very well that when the little emperor expressed his deep thoughts, he was eager to get the recognition of the people around him.

In fact, there shouldn't be many people in this world who understand him. After all... what do you want to make trouble when you are full and have enough? If you make trouble again, you will die for you.

Ye Chunqiu could roughly understand some of his feelings, because Ye Chunqiu was also a person who occasionally had feelings while merciless. He looked at Zhu Houzhao's shiny eyes seriously, looked at his eyes with the same firm eyes, and said confidently: "The emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies in the country. This is the ultimate truth, let alone Your Majesty should do this."

"Ah..." Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Why should I do this more?"

Well……

Ye Chunqiu was stumped, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't think about it and said, "I don't know whether to speak or not."

Zhu Houzhao said, "There is nothing to say, what are you afraid of?"

Ye Chunqiu had to say honestly: "My brother said, Your Majesty, don't be angry, cough cough... I think Your Majesty has only this advantage left. Of course, Your Majesty is still wise, but...oh... I won't say it."

Zhu Houzhao actually smiled, looking at the bottom of the question, and said, "Whatever you say, isn't it just that I love to make trouble? No matter what, I always have good or bad things. What do you mean is that I should go to Shanhaiguan?"

"I am just laughing. Your Majesty, let's continue to talk about war on paper." Although he agreed with Zhu Houzhao's idea, he really asked Ye Chunqiu to encourage Zhu Houzhao to "guard the country's gate" and "dead the country". Ye Chunqiu was not so stupid.

Ye Chunqiu continued: "Shanhaiguan should have a good port. What did Your Majesty find here? Look, Shanhaiguan faces Liaodong and the desert, behind the capital, and opposite the sea is North Korea and Japan, not to mention..." Ye Chunqiu pointed at several important strongholds in the Bohai Sea and then said: "This is Jinzhou, this is Lushun, this is Songshan, this is Dengzhou, Laizhou, and this is Tianjin Wei. Look, this sea area has always been calm. If you can use sea transportation, you can connect North Korea, Japan and various ports into a line. If you can have a fleet, you can leave from the port of Shanhaiguan, you can enter and exit these places at any time..."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes became brighter and she said, "What do you mean is that you can use this to deter Japan? The fleet... I think it's so interesting when you say this."

Ye Chunqiu continued: "The most important thing is to operate Shanhaiguan. If it is done, as my brother said, this horse-herding horse is its first industry. When it attracts merchants, there will be crowds. If a port is established here, it will become the most important place in the world. Whether people in the pass want to leave the pass, people from Liaodong want to enter, or many people want to arrive in and out of Beijing, they will inevitably enter and exit from here..."

Ye Chunqiu kept talking about his thoughts and ideas, Zhu Houzhao held his chin seriously and listened, occasionally asking a few questions, sometimes falling into deep thoughts.

Ye Chunqiu was also dry-mouthed, but he also found it quite interesting.

In fact, he knew very well that he was just thinking about it with Zhu Houzhao meaninglessly. There were too many constraints in reality and he really wanted to do it, but it was quite difficult. Not to mention that it attracted people to grazing, just wanting to open a port, the sea ban would not work.

It was almost done, and it was getting late. Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Can your Majesty ask someone to pour tea again? I'm a little dry."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with a meaningful light. He repeatedly agreed and ordered people to get the tea. Ye Chunqiu sat down and took a sip of the tea, and then continued: "In a few days, I'm afraid that I will not be idle. I have to train the new army to use firearms. Whenever I have time, I will always come to the palace to pay my respects."

Zhu Houzhao showed an expectant look on her face and said, "I want to go too."

Although Zhu Houzhao's appearance seemed a little unbearable to refuse, Ye Chunqiu was still very rational and shook his head seriously and said, "Your Majesty, the new army in the country is not proficient in firearms yet, so Your Majesty is better not to go. If you are injured by accident, I will not be able to bear it."

After drinking all the tea, Ye Chunqiu deliberately did not look at Zhu Houzhao's disappointment and simply stood up to say goodbye.

Every chat with Zhu Houzhao is a very pleasant process. Ye Chunqiu can show off some things from later generations without any scruples. It has to be said that Zhu Houzhao is a very qualified listener. Even when Ye Chunqiu talks about the idea of ​​"Theory of Hai Quan" and "Theory of the Monarch", Zhu Houzhao is not at all disgusted with it.

If these two ideas are told to others, they are definitely legacy in the eyes of others. The concept of the theory of sea power is almost contrary to the current national policy of the Ming Dynasty. The theory of monarchism is even more shocking. This naked ruling science is completely different from the ethics and rituals promoted by Confucianism. If it is heard by others, the crime of bewitching the sage king cannot be escaped.

At first, Ye Chunqiu just stopped talking. Later, when he saw that Zhu Houzhao was not disgusted, he was excited. Ye Chunqiu simply told him everything, saying it happily, and Zhu Houzhao also listened with relish.

Seeing the sky was dim and Ye Chunqiu was still a little unfulfilled. He was not disgusted with Confucianism. To some extent, Confucianism has been around for more than a thousand years, and it is no exaggeration to say it is a classic. However, people from later generations have finally distorted many of its original meanings. To put it bluntly, the Four Books and Five Classics are definitely divine books, but the power of interpretation falls into the hands of rulers and bureaucrats in later generations. How to explain it is still based on others' thoughts, and the result can be imagined.

When Ye Chunqiu returned to the mansion, he heard from the door that Zhang Jin and Chen Rong were visiting. He was obediently listening to Mr. Ye talking about "life experience" in the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall and saw them, they were afraid that they would regret coming to the door. When they saw Ye Chunqiu coming back, they felt like they were granted a general amnesty and hurriedly stepped forward to meet Ye Chunqiu.

When Ye Chunqiu saw these two friends, he couldn't help but feel warm.
