If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 95 When He Farts
Regarding Zhu Gaochi's question about what the vassal king should do if he breaks through the situation he has set, Zhu Zhanquan just waved his hand indifferently: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be a fool for your children and grandchildren. If it really happens, you will be so surprised." If a brilliant and talented person can find a way out of this predicament, then he is the destined son who trapped the dragon and ascended to heaven. It is also his destiny to replace the descendants of our family and become emperors.

And starting from Emperor Hongwu, aren’t the descendants of these vassal kings also our Zhu family?Everyone is qualified to sit in the Dragon Court, so don’t worry so much.

As for the damage you are worried about from another Jingnan War to the country, if the court cannot quickly and effectively suppress even the rebellion of the feudal lord under such an arrangement, it means that the court has become corrupt to a certain extent. There is nothing wrong with changing the emperor. "

In Zhu Zhanqi's view, there has never been any dynasty that lasts forever and lasts for thousands of years. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all dynasties in China have been unable to escape the fate of 300 years of dynasty replacement. He really hopes that his descendants will always sit in the Dragon Court. It's pure nonsense.

Even if Zhu Zhanquan can suppress the fate of humanity, forge destiny, and make the Ming Dynasty permanent in the future, this does not mean that the emperor will definitely be passed down in their lineage.

After all, for the Yun Dynasty, who can be the emperor depends on who can be recognized by the destiny and who can be more beneficial to human destiny, rather than whose bloodline is purer.

If the Yun Dynasty is really established, the replacement of the throne will be based on the selection of talents, not the elders and younger ones.

After all, even if the royal family is lucky enough to be blessed by destiny, it will inevitably produce some mediocre people, even stubborn and unscrupulous descendants.

At this time, if there really is that kind of talented and sage enough to withstand the suppression of the imperial court with the blessing of destiny, break out of the difficulties and learn from Zhu Di, who can fight against Fengtian in one place and succeed, Zhu Zhanquan will give up the throne if he thinks it is. .

Moreover, such a talented and strategic emperor is basically the same as the founding king. His talents and abilities must be the best choice. Being an emperor for such a person is a good thing for the country.

On the contrary, if the descendants of your own lineage only know how to rely on the protection of destiny to eat and wait to die, then it is better to give up the throne as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhanchun's idea is nothing short of deviant in this era.

But for the Zhu family, it is not that unacceptable, because Zhu Di himself is such an emperor, and everyone has a relatively high ability to accept things that have happened once.

The only concern is that Zhu Di is so high-ranking, saying this is not a big taboo in the Yongle Dynasty.

However, for the prince's family, this topic is still open for discussion, so it is not a taboo.

Zhu Gaochi listened to Zhu Zhanyu's thoughts and did not refute, but just nodded to show that he knew.

In his opinion, Zhu Zhanchun's method was considered a relatively good way to deal with the vassal king's problem. It was better than the previous method of supporting the vassal king with generous salary and eventually bringing down the court.

Now, if this is the case, not to mention anything else, just the expenses incurred by the vassal king along the way to the capital every year and during his stay in the capital can promote the economy of the places along the way and allow the capital's business to develop.

Although the Ming Dynasty has pursued the so-called policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Gaochi was still able to understand the importance of commerce to the country.In particular, Zhu Zhanjuan had discussed business issues with him during this period. Zhu Gaochi also understood that there were big problems in the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business formulated by Emperor Hongwu, and that the country should also pay attention to the development of business.

Although agriculture is the foundation of the country, without commercial circulation, the entire country will be a pool of stagnant water.

At first glance, the vassal king spent a lot of money when he went to Beijing every year, which seemed like a waste of money and a waste of money. But if the money spent can benefit the people and practitioners in related industries, then this money Even if there are no white flowers.

Moreover, Zhu Gaochi himself was in charge of this area. He could still calculate very clearly the difference between the expenses of entertaining the vassal kings every year and the energy the court spent to suppress the rebellion of the vassal kings or spending a large amount of court tax revenue to support these vassal kings. of.

Although Zhu Zhanchun's move allowed the vassal king to have a certain degree of local control, it also separated the originally overwhelming clan issue from the central finance.

From now on, the support of each clan's clan will be each clan's own business. There is no need for central finance to fill this bottomless pit like before. This can be regarded as spending a small amount of money to do big things.

Therefore, for the Executive Vice Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although this policy may cause the Ming Dynasty to experience another Jingnan War in the future, at least it does solve many problems and has many benefits, so he has no reason to oppose this policy. policy implementation.

But from this policy, Zhu Gaochi also saw how evil his second son really was, and how he didn't care who became emperor.

For a father, he naturally hopes that his son will be as outstanding as possible, but as the prince, Zhu Gaochi does not want his second son to be too outstanding, or to be more powerful than his eldest son.

From a national perspective, this is not a good thing, and may even bring disaster to Zhu Zhankun.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi still asked Zhu Zhanyu: "Zhanyu, do you know that there is a censor who plans to get involved in your affairs?"

"Is there a censor who plans to join me? How come those guys who are full and have nothing to do all day long are targeting me?" When Zhu Gaochi said this, Zhu Zhanjuan couldn't help but frowned, but then he said clearly : "Are they following my evil words to confuse the public, or are they bewitching the king? Or are they more seriously causing trouble for the imperial court?"

These three crimes, which sounded like they should be punished by the Nine Tribes, were said very lightly in Zhu Zhanqun's mouth. Even Zhu Zhanji on the side couldn't help being surprised by Zhu Zhanqun's calmness and asked him: "Second brother , Censor wants to take part! Why are you so indifferent?"

"Brother, let me teach you a lesson, that is, what the censor says is useful. If you think it is useful, just listen to him. If it is not useful, treat him as farts. Because this official is just for trolling people. If he stops talking to others, forget it. He has neglected his duties as an official, so it is up to the emperor to be a censor. If the emperor pays attention, then it counts. If the emperor does not pay attention, then it means nothing." Zhu Zhanquan's words were very vulgar, but they were rough and reasonable. But not rough.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard what Zhu Zhankun said. This seemed to subvert his usual cognition.

In his opinion, shouldn't the censor be responsible for supervising all officials and investigating lawlessness?Why does it seem that in Zhu Zhanchun's words, the censor has become a very disgusting thing?
