Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

The more Zhu Yuanzhang who was standing in front listened, the uglier his face became.

There is no other reason, because "Yan Wang Zhu Di"'s analysis of him was so accurate that even he could not refute it!

Unless he does not make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson, otherwise if he is really determined to make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.

Then considering that Zhu Yunwen's own age, prestige, and ability are all insufficient, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he should avoid the situation in the Ming Dynasty when the leader is weak and the ministers are strong, and the powerful ministers are in power.

Nine times out of ten, he will, as "Yan Wang Zhu Di" said, take down the Duke of Liang, Lan Yu, the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, the Duke of Song, Feng Sheng, etc., with him before his death!

The North Asia Emperor Zhu Di, who was standing below, looked at his father in this world and sighed quietly:

"Dong Guo of Liang, Duke Ying, Duke Guo of Song, and others all fought for the Ming Dynasty through life and death, fighting for the rest of their lives, and made great achievements!"

"As far as the public is concerned, they have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Personally speaking, they can be regarded as the old brothers who fought hard all the way to the present from the time when our father was young!"

"If one of these great heroes and old brothers dies, one of them will be missing."

"Now, if it is just to ensure that Zhu Yunwen can secure the throne, all these founding heroes will die innocently, and even the birds on the father's back will be wiped out, and the good bows will be hidden; the cunning rabbit will die, and the lackey will be condemned,"

"Is this price too high?"

There is a saying that even if he does not compete for the position of the Ming Dynasty prince, he does not feel that it is worth paying such a high price just to let Zhu Yunwen secure the throne.

Especially after witnessing with his own eyes his father and Duke Liang, Duke Ying, Duke Song and others in his previous life, trusting each other and without suspicion throughout their lives, leaving behind a good story of a monarch and his ministers getting along well with each other.

He even doesn't think that in order for Zhu Yunwen to secure the throne, his father is worth the infamy of "when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked".

After all, as the founding emperor, if possible, who wouldn’t want to spend his or her life with his subordinates in harmony with each other without suspicion?

Who doesn’t want to leave a good reputation in the history books for not killing heroes?

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what "Yan Wang Zhu Di" said, his face changed slightly and he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Just as North Asia Emperor Zhu Di17 thought, didn't Zhu Yuanzhang not want to get along with his old brothers?

After all, those are the old brothers who fought through mountains of swords and seas of fire with him, and some of them even blocked swords and arrows for him!

He is not a cold-blooded person by nature. If possible, he naturally wants these brothers to have a good death in their old age.

Besides, doesn't he want to leave a good name in the history books?

Of course this is what I wanted!

He is not some pervert with a good reputation but a bad reputation!

However, compared with the harmony between the king and his ministers and his good reputation, compared with the stable country and the country of Ming Dynasty, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, naturally the stable country and country of the Ming Dynasty were more important!

So after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and said with determination:

"For the Ming Dynasty, the price is worth it!"

But then Zhu Yuanzhang changed his words again:

"Since the establishment of Zhu Yunwen requires such a high price, then we can change the establishment of Zhu Yunxi!"

"You just said that when it comes to age, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen are only one year apart!"

"When it comes to identity, Zhu Yunxi is the legitimate second son. If Zhu Yunwen hadn't interfered, he would have been the new eldest son!"

"And he is Lan Yu's biological nephew. If we make Zhu Yunxi the emperor's grandson, then naturally we don't need to consider whether Zhu Yunwen will succeed to the throne in the future, and whether Lan Yu and others will support Zhu Yunxi and then pull Zhu Yunwen down. "

"We don't have to execute them all in order for Zhu Yunwen to secure the throne!"

Not to mention that you will not be scolded as "the birds on your back are gone, but the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked", so there is no need to make you the crown prince!"

At the end of the story, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at "Yan Wang Zhu Di" with a proud expression.

He admitted that if it is to support "Zhu Yunwen" to rise to power, then there is indeed some reason to pay a price.

But as "Yan Wang Zhu Di" just said, the reason why he supported "Zhu Yunwen" to ascend to power was that he had to pay such a high price.

The reason is that Zhu Yunwen is not the biological child of the former Crown Princess Chang, and Lan Yu and others have relatively better choices.

Then if he changed the name to Zhu Yunxi, the biological son of the former Crown Princess Chang, he would not have to execute Lan Yu and others, and he would not have to bear the infamy of "when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked".

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang thought that "Yan King Zhu Di" had nothing to say, North Asia's Great Emperor Zhu Di sighed again:

"The reason why my father originally wanted to make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson instead of making Zhu Yunxi the emperor's grandson was because Zhu Yunwen was better at talking and knew how to express himself in front of his father.

Is there no other reason?"

"In addition to rebellion, was there no other reason for the death of former Prime Minister Hu Weiyong?"

"If not, why go a step further and abolish the position of prime minister after executing Hu Weiyong and others?"

North Asia Emperor Zhu Di asked three questions in succession, which even wiped out the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to answer, North Asia Emperor Zhu Di asked and answered himself:

"The reason why my father chose to make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson in the first place was because Zhu Yunwen was better at talking and knew how to express himself in front of the emperor.

"The more important reason is that Zhu Yunwen doesn't have a great-uncle like Lan Yu like Zhu Yunxi!"

"To put it bluntly, father, you are guarding against your relatives from interfering in politics!"

"Zhu Yunwen's mother-in-law is the Lu family, and the Lu family from which the Lu family came was a minister of the former Yuan Dynasty."

"And the Lu family has no other relatives or nephews except the daughter of Crown Princess Lu."

"So if you make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson, you don't have to worry about Zhu Yunwen's mother and concubine having a foreign relative who will rule exclusively."

"But if Zhu Yunxi is made the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunxi will be able to get the full support of Lan Yu and others from the Huaixi military generals."

"But Lan Yu is arrogant, and young Zhu Yunxi will definitely not be able to suppress Lan Yu and others."

"At that time, Lan Yu will most likely rely on his status as Zhu Yunxi's uncle and grandfather to carry out his foreign relatives' exclusive power to interfere in politics."

"That's why, Father, you gave priority to Zhu Yunwen between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi."

"Of course, it is possible that Lan Yu will not rely on his status as Zhu Yunxi's uncle and grandfather to exercise the exclusive power of his relatives to control the affairs of the country."

"But that's the same sentence. For the emperor, even if he doesn't have the heart to rebel, but has the ability to rebel, he should be killed!"

"Similarly for my father, even if Lan Yu doesn't have the intention of his relatives to interfere in politics exclusively, as long as he has the ability of his relatives to interfere in politics, then he deserves to die!"

"Because my father does not allow any minister to threaten or shake the emperor's imperial power!"

"This is also the reason why my father, after executing Hu Weiyong and others, went a step further and abolished the position of prime minister!"

"To put it bluntly, it's because my father believes that the power of the prime minister threatens the power of the emperor!"

"So the same principle applies, whether it is to establish Zhu Yunzhen or to establish Zhu Yunxi."

"As long as it is the heir of eldest brother Li, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely face a situation where the young and the ministers are strong."

"And with my father's domineering and powerful temperament, I will never let Ming Dynasty fall into such a dangerous situation!"

"So it is doomed that as long as the father makes the eldest brother's heir the emperor's grandson, no matter who is chosen in the end, the final fate of Lan Yu and other outstanding founding officials will most likely be death. !”

"And if Lan Yu and others are destined to die, it means that even if Zhu Yunxi is made the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunxi will not get the support of Lan Yu, his great-uncle, and the noble military officers he represents behind him."

"And if Zhu Yunxi didn't have the support of Lan Yu, his great-uncle, and the military commanders and nobles behind him, then Zhu Yunxi would have no advantage over Zhu Yunwen."

"When it comes to age, Zhu Yunwen is one year older than Zhu Yunxi, so he is somewhat older."

"When it comes to bloodline status, there may be a difference between the son of the Chang family and the son of the Lu family in the eyes of others."

"But in the eyes of the father, whether it is Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Yunxi, they are both the blood descendants of the eldest brother. At least to the father, there is no difference."

"Finally, Zhu Yunwen's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, is still here. No matter what considerations, Mrs. Lu will continue to do her best to teach Zhu Yunwen, and try her best to make Zhu Yunwen a qualified grandson of the emperor, and even a qualified emperor. "1

"But Zhu Yunxi's mother-in-law, Chang, has passed away long ago. Although Lu will not treat Zhu Yunxi poorly, it is impossible to expect Lu to treat Zhu Yunxi as carefully as she treats Zhu Yunxi." 1

"If Zhu Yunxi encounters any trouble in the future, he wants to find an elder for consultation, or if he wants to talk to an elder to express his feelings, he can't find anyone.

"So if my father is really determined to continue to appoint the emperor's grandson as his heir, then after repeated considerations, the father will most likely choose Zhu Yunwen in the end."

"Similarly, no matter who is appointed as the grandson of the emperor, given the emperor's temperament, Lan Yu and others will still die!"

"In the end, my father will inevitably have to bear the reputation of being a lackey after all the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and he is a lackey!"

After Zhu Di, the Great Emperor of North Asia, finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the imperial court was speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked at "Yan Wang Zhu Di" in front of him with a complicated expression and said:

"We have always believed that the person who knows us best is your mother, Queen Ma, followed by Biao'er."

"But today we discovered that your understanding of us is no less than that of your mother and your eldest brother!"

"Fourth, you hide it so well!"

"Is it because your eldest brother is no longer here that you stop hiding?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had not been sure before that whether it was better to establish a new crown prince or an emperor's grandson.

And since it has not yet been determined whether to establish an emperor grandson, then naturally there is no confirmed candidate for the emperor's grandson.

Therefore, in Zhu Yuanzhang's case, it is possible for the emperor's grandson to appoint Zhu Yunzhen, but it is also possible to appoint Zhu Yunxi.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed his mind and said that Zhu Yunxi would be the emperor's grandson after "Yan Wang Zhu Di" said the price to be paid to establish Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson.

But now after listening to the story of "Yan King Zhu Di", Zhu Yuanzhang realized that if he was really determined to establish an emperor grandson.

So between the two candidates for the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, I am afraid that after careful consideration, I will most likely choose Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson!

Because for him, without considering the abilities of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, establishing Zhu Yunwen is indeed more consistent with his consideration of the Ming Dynasty than establishing Zhu Yunxi.

Moreover, in terms of personal abilities, there is not much difference between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi at present.

Even because Zhu Yunwen is better at speaking and acting, at least Zhu Yunwen's impression with Zhu Yuanzhang is better than that of Zhu Yunxi.

In addition, no matter whether it is the young minister or the strong man,

The situation is still a situation where foreign relatives interfere in politics exclusively.

This was intolerable to Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a strong desire to control power and would never tolerate his ministers challenging the emperor's imperial power.

So it is indeed as "Yan Wang Zhu Di" said, if he really wants to establish an emperor's grandson.

Then in the end he will definitely find a reason to execute Lan Yu and other arrogant generals, and then leave the Ming Dynasty to the emperor's grandson that is easy to control.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, these are actually not terrible.

What really makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel terrible is that even he himself has not thought of these things, but "Yan Wang Zhu Di" has thought of them in advance.

And based on his temperament, he completely predicted what he might do!

To be honest, if the person who said 230 these words was not "Yan Wang Zhu Di" but someone else, then Zhu Yuanzhang would have ordered someone to pull him out and execute him.

After all, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, if the emperor's thoughts can be guessed by his subordinates.

Then not only will the emperor be unable to maintain his majesty, but he may also be deceived and teased by his subordinates!

Moreover, "Yan Wang Zhu Di" has never shown such an in-depth understanding of himself before, but this in-depth understanding cannot be obtained simply in one day.

It must have been years of studying his various thoughts.

However, such a thing has never been revealed to him before!

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang said that "Yan Wang Zhu Di" was deeply hidden in front of him!

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's words, North Asia's Great Emperor Zhu Di did not refute. After all, he couldn't say that he had committed past life and script problems.

Therefore, the North Asia Emperor Zhu Di also gave Zhu Yuanzhang a gift again, and then said:

"If eldest brother is still alive, no matter whether he hides it or not, I am his fourth brother, and I will always be his fourth brother willingly!"

"But my eldest brother is gone. I don't think there is anyone more suitable than me for the position of Prince of Ming Dynasty and the position of Emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future!"

"The reason why my father wants to make a grandson of the emperor, to put it bluntly, is because whether he makes me the crown prince, or makes his second brother and third brother the crown prince, my father is worried that other people may not understand.

Take orally. 17

"This may lead to fratricide among our brothers, causing turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, eventually leading to civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, and wasting the foundation of national strength!

"1

"But, Father!"

Having said this, North Asia Emperor Zhu Di paused, then raised his head again to pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"After you established the emperor's grandson, you did everything in order to leave the emperor a Ming Dynasty that is easier to control and can better secure the throne."

"Essentially speaking, this is not another kind of 'civil strife' in Ming Dynasty, and it is also a waste of Ming Dynasty's national strength!"

"If it were for the sake of the emperor's grandson's succession, my father would tolerate the Ming Dynasty's loss of national strength.

"Then why can't my father accept my succession and accept the Ming Dynasty's loss of national strength?"

"What's more, even if I succeed to the Ming Dynasty, I won't waste my strength!"

"I am older, more capable, have military exploits, and prestige. I can suppress the arrogant and powerful generals like Lan Yu, and I can also suppress the thoughtful vassal kings like my second brother and third brother!"

"In this era, in this world, no one is stronger than me!"

"If I rule the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely create an ancient and prosperous era that far surpasses that of my father! n

In the previous life, he penetrated the Timurid Empire, conquered countless indigenous kingdoms in North Asia, crippled, annexed, and divided up many countries in Central Asia, and single-handedly conquered tens of millions of square kilometers of territory.

The domineering imperial aura of North Asia Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

At this moment, wealth is revealed in a mighty and unabashed way!
