Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 419 Public and private, a show, the essence is exchange

Zhu Jianji's movement was getting louder and louder, and people were being executed every day.

The arrest operation is also expanding.

Li Dongyang just refused to bow his head and just went about his business normally. No matter how many people Zhu Jianji arrested, he would remain indifferent.

And the capital behind him is going crazy.

The fourth child has begun to torture capitalists, and has arrested many capital bosses, and tortures more and more people. If this continues, the entire capital circle of Ming Dynasty will be arrested.

The key point is that without Li Dongyang and a few others speaking out, no one would dare to incite rebellion among the people.

Without rebellion, capital is like a chicken in the face of political power, without any strength to resist.

It is true that there are capitalists who keep servants in captivity, and they often have guns and cannons, but if they resist, they will be punished with treason and the whole family will be killed!

The richer people are, the more afraid they are of death.

If you go in well, you may come out well, but once you resist violently, you will be wiped out.

Don't think that there will be anyone in the court to speak for them.

Zhu Jianjian's arrest made people panic, and officials could not protect themselves. Who cares about those businessmen? Besides, the crimes of these businessmen were all vomited by them, and they were sure to catch them every time.

If there is no evidence, the first trial will produce evidence.

In this kind of top-down arrest, what matters is not the evidence, but the situation!
These people are on the wrong side, so be damned.

Unless the senior officials of the Manchu Dynasty headed by Li Dongyang go to negotiate with Zhu Jianji, it will not end. And Zhu Jianji is not killing people, but increasing his bargaining chips.

His purpose was to make the court officials submit, not to simply kill people. In his eyes, human life was not worth mentioning.

After all, the money gained from confiscating houses is only a small amount. What he wants is for the world's capital to become his lackey, Zhu Jianji, and everyone in the world is helping him, Zhu Jianji, make money.

Zhu Jianji set up a sticky office, recruited people on a large scale, and went deep into the people to arrest people.

He doesn't pick the big ones to arrest, he just catches the small officials who are extremely corrupt. It's fun and can scare the big tigers.

On the surface, it is purging officials, but in fact it is leaving room for buffering.

Zhu Jianji thought it was okay, but in the eyes of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, it involved a dispute between Taoism and Dharma.

On May 19th, Geng Yu entered the palace.

"Good question." Zhu Jianyan, like his father, does not take power but hegemony. He leaves all trivial matters in the world to the crown prince Zhu You. He is responsible for making decisions on major matters, serving decoctions in the Yangxin Hall, and then thinking about where to go to fight. .

He is willing to think about fighting and has no interest in dealing with government affairs.

"Go, bring me a brocade pier, so I can sit on something soft because my back is not good."

Zhu Jianjian smiled and said: "Your waist was not good when you were young. The older you get, the more useless you become. Please sit down and relax. Unlike me, my father beat me with a bench since I was a child. I have a great body."

"I have a bad waist, but I have six sons. You have a good waist, but you only have four." Geng Yu killed him directly.

"You old boy gets more and more boring as you get older."

朱见漭烦他：“老子小时候就烦你，也就父皇疼爱伱，若无他护着你，一天老子揍你八百遍。”

"Your Highness bothers you, it shows that I have a good way of controlling Your Highness." Geng Yu's beard and hair are all white and he is nearly eighty years old this year.

He was more than ten years older than Zhu Jianjian. He had been a lecturer for the prince, and he had been friends with the fourth child for many years.

"Stop those useless things."

Zhu Jianjian was unhappy: "Your Highness, you sound distant, have you forgotten? What did you call me when you first saw me?"

Having said this, Geng Yu showed a smile on his face: "Goudan, is it still you?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Jianjian laughed loudly: "Gu was only seven years old at the time, and you called me Goudan. Do you still remember how Gu responded?"

"How could you forget?"

Geng Yu smiled and said: "Tell me, my name is not Goudan, my name is Geng Daddy. You dared to take advantage of others when you were only seven years old. I know you are dishonest."

"You seem to be serious, but you are not a serious person. How could you name the prince Goudan? Let my father know that I have to beat you." Zhu Jianyan laughed.

"Of course His Majesty knew, but he didn't slap me. Instead, he laughed."

Geng Yu smiled, but suddenly said: "Can we go back to the past?"

Zhu Youyi, who was dealing with government affairs, pricked up his ears. He hadn't heard his father's hearty laughter for a long time, which meant that Zhu Jianyan and Geng Yu had a really good relationship.

Zhu Jianjian looked at him: "You can go back if you want."

"Yushan, the current Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty we once dreamed of. What's wrong?" Geng Yu got straight to the point.

Zhu Jianji knew, however, that this was a case of killing too many people. Although the capital behind them was frightened, he did not make Li Dongyang and others surrender.

"Good question. In the sixteenth year of Jingtai's reign, in the duty room next to the Wenhua Hall, you, me, Binzhi, and Fengyi were chatting around the fire at night, drinking and talking about our ideals."

"I was the youngest at the time, and I was greatly inspired just by listening to your discussion."

"Good question. You and Binzhi were the most excited and told your story. Binzhi was born with knowledge. You are smart and have the experience of being a local official. Fengyi was checking for the gaps and said impassioned words. I'm here. I haven’t forgotten it today.”

"What you two are discussing is to completely eliminate public ownership, completely private ownership, and turn everything in society into private property. This can fully mobilize enthusiasm and satisfy everyone in the Ming Dynasty."

"When you two were having an exciting discussion, Binzhi's clothes fell into the hot pot soup and almost caught fire."

"Because of this, what was just a discussion within our small circle turned into a debate in the court, and eventually scholars from all over the world came in to discuss it."

“The superiority and inferiority of public ownership and private ownership has become the most intensely discussed issue in Jingtai’s 16th year, and has been discussed for more than 20 years.”

Zhu Jianjian said: "But I am still young and I really don't know much about public ownership and private ownership, such a macro concept."

“But as I grew older and gradually came into contact with more government affairs, I finally understood what is public and what is private?”

"The Ming Dynasty itself is private ownership, and the whole world is owned by the royal family. This is private ownership!"

"And using state-owned enterprises to rule local areas is public!"

"I still remember that Qiu Jun discussed very clearly that the ultimate of public ownership is a feast of corruption, while the ultimate of private ownership is the division of the country."

"There is no good or bad system."

"It depends on how far the person who uses it can use it."

"Like me, I am not boasting. When it comes to fighting, there is no general in the world who is as good as me, Zhu Laosi. When it comes to emperors in ancient and modern times, I only obey Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of this dynasty. Among the emperors, my fighting skills can be ranked among the top five. ”

"But if you ask me to govern the world, I feel very troubled."

"Man Shuo is not as good as you, not as good as Binzhi, not as good as Feng Yi, and I am not even as good as my eldest son."

"But if public ownership is used to trap me, should I be the emperor?"

Zhu Jianjian asked him.

"Public and private are not separated in this way by you."

"Yushan, don't pretend to be confused because you understand. I came here today to talk to you at the cost of my life."

"The public and private things we talk about are essentially who controls the economy of this country."

"After more than 20 years of discussion, the imperial court believed that the private economy should control the world and promote the development of the Ming Dynasty."

“And practice over the years has proven that this road is the best development path.”

"But after you come back, in the name of purging officials, you turn the ship around and mix public affairs with the economy. Is this okay?"

Geng Yu took a breath and said, "I'll take Kaihai as an example."

"Twelve years ago in Jingtai, why couldn't we open the sea? Whoever touched it would die. Even a saint like your majesty couldn't touch the sea."

"Because of what?"

"It's not because the emperor violated the interests of the gentry, but because the emperor wanted to live alone, which was the case in the Yongle Dynasty, so the people of the world opposed it."

“Eating alone means public ownership!”

"And the essence of the Ming Dynasty is private ownership. Emperor Taizu started his business and conquered these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and established the Ming Dynasty dominated by the Zhu royal family!"

"This is a country ruled by one family, not a parliamentary system where the emperor takes turns!"

"The system is fundamentally private ownership. How do you turn a country into public ownership? Are you willing to give up the seat under your butt?"

Geng Yu’s words were very disrespectful.

However, in Jingtai Dynasty, these words can be said casually.

There is no need to use the past to mock the present, just say that today is not a good day.

“If we have public ownership, do we have to give up our seats?”

Zhu Jianjian squinted his eyes: "I don't know about the prime minister system of the Jin Kingdom? Isn't it essentially the same group of people who sit in this seat? Will ordinary people really come up?"

"So what? It's definitely not just one family, right?"

Geng Yu was aggressive: "You, Mr. Zhu, are you willing to give up your seat and let Jiang Shan change his surname?"

"Good question..."

"Don't play the emotional card, just tell me if you want to or not!" Geng Yu stared at him.

"This country belongs to Zhu. It was conquered by my ancestors and passed down by my father. Why should I give it to others?" Zhu Jianjian would definitely not let it go.

"So, why do you want the world to be under public ownership? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you! You are reluctant to give up the throne to others, so they are willing to give up their life's income to others?"

"Them? Who are they?"

Zhu Jianzhen looked at Geng Yu unconvinced: "This is my Ming Dynasty, this is my Ming Dynasty's earth! Even their lives belong to my family, why can't they be driven by me? Why should it be my family's turn to control my country?" Why are you waiting for the idiots to drive me?"

"Fourth! What is driving?"

Geng Yu said: "I, Binzhi, Xixian, Yu Qiao, Ma Futu, Yu Shiying, Yang Jiefu, etc., do we have selfish motives?"

"We don't want to make Daming better?"

"During the years when you were away, Ming Dynasty developed at such a rapid pace. Isn't it because of our contribution?"

"The imperial court has been driving capital!"

"In recent years, His Majesty has had a sudden flash of inspiration, and capital from all over the world has flocked to it. Isn't this support? Your Majesty has three long and two shortcomings, and the world's capital is in turmoil. Isn't that enough support?"

"Fourth brother, you are not talking about driving, but enslaving!"

"In this age, no one will be willing to enslave you!"

"Okay, even if your fourth son is great and you can enslave the world's capital, can you guarantee that your grandson can? Can your grandson's descendants do it?"

"Capital will bite back!"

Geng Yu said: "Fourth brother, I have known you since I was young and have known each other for fifty years. Who am I, Geng Hao? Don't you know?"

"If capital is harmful to Ming Dynasty? Will I stand here and talk to you?"

"If capital will harm you, why is Binzhi angry with you? Fengyi has the best relationship with you, so why has he ignored you so far?"

"You don't know much about Qiao, but you know who Heixian is, right?"

"Mr. Manchu, do you think we are all people who are driven by profit? We are already in the most popular positions, how can we go further? Are we going to steal your position?"

Geng Yu said anxiously: "Fourth brother, you are in a dead end!"

"You are the one who has reached the end of the world, and you cannot see the mountain with a single leaf!"

Zhu Jianjian said: "Since you all say that you haven't changed, why don't you care about what the place is like?"

"The people are complaining, can't you hear it?"

"Everyone in the world is scolding you, don't you know?"

"Even Your Majesty doesn't know the situation in the place. Don't you think something is wrong?"

"Geng Haowen, if you were still the same Geng Yu you were back then, I believe you would be willing to lift the three-foot green peak and eradicate all injustices in the world!"

"But you have changed!"

"You have also been demoted to a place. You should see what the place is like!"

"If you don't care anymore, you're going to rebel!"

"Four billion people, once they swarm in rebellion, what will happen?"

"When the time comes, it will be me who will be overthrown! It will be my butt that gets off this chair! Not those capitalists you call them! They will transform themselves into the new upstarts! What about me? Where are my descendants?"

After Zhu Jianjian roared angrily, his tone paused slightly: "That's a good question, I don't believe you now."

"Don't talk about the brotherhood between you and me."

"Not to mention His Majesty's love and affection for you."

"Just say that you are loyal to the emperor by eating the emperor's salary. You should consider my Zhu family's salary by eating my Zhu family's salary!"

"But have you considered the feelings of my Zhu family? Your butt is crooked!"

Zhu Jianjian said: "The people in this world who are most afraid of rebellion are my family! It's me!"

"The people of the world have become more civilized and wiser. Social trends are coming one after another. People all over the world have understood that there is no need for an emperor to sit above them."

"It's okay when my father is still alive, because he is God."

"People in the world respect him, love him, and are willing to regard him as emperor."

"and I?"

"I have such a great reputation in Eastern Europe, but not in China. I have been a soldier for half my life, but my results are all in Eastern Europe. It is too far away from the Ming Dynasty! Even the people of the Ming Dynasty don't know it!"

"No one in the world will obey me!"

"That's a good question. Look at me. I was only eight years old when I met you. This year I am fifty-eight years old! Fifty years have passed and I am no longer young!"

"Besides, there is no war in the Ming Dynasty, so I have nowhere to put my talents to use!"

"How do you think I should handle myself?"

"Where are my children and grandchildren? How should they deal with themselves?"

"Okay, back to the court, how about the boss? He was carefully trained by your civil servants, but he is still despised by all the people."

"For more than a year, I have been thinking that if I am not as good as my boss in terms of governance, there is no guarantee that I will end up being reviled by thousands of people."

"I can succeed to the throne, but where are my children and grandchildren?"

"My eldest brother, you know best. He even worshiped you as his adoptive father when he was a child. Can he support the throne with so many people and so many public opinions?"

"You've seen Yong'er too, can he?"

Zhu Jianzhen exhaled a breath and sat down slowly: "Good question, you have been in the center for a long time, you should know, how many generations can the throne of my Zhu family be passed down?"

"Did my Zhu family do something bad?"

Geng Yu understood that he and Zhu Jianji could not come to an agreement.

Zhu Jianji must hold the world's wealth in his hands, ensure that the royal family can drive the world's wealth, and ensure that the throne is passed down smoothly.

Geng Yu suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that you, Mr. Zhu, may seem reckless, but in fact, there are subtleties in your roughness."

"Fourth child, I remember that when you were a child, it was Nian Wen Zhenggong who taught you about Zhenguan politics, right?"

Zhu Jianjian's mouth twitched when he mentioned his wealth.

Nian Fu was not talking at all. He was talking while smoking. He knew every word of the Zhenguan politicians by heart, and he was still beaten.

Nianfu tied his legs to the bench and asked him to take off his shirt to avoid staining the clothes with blood and wasting fabric. He carried it on his back while Nianfu held up the cane. If he made a mistake, he would be whipped. He would be stopped suddenly and asked to explain the meaning of a sentence. He would also be asked to interpret it in the context of political affairs. If he made the slightest mistake, he would be beaten.

All princes and grandsons are educated in this way.

However, now I really have to be grateful to Nian Fu. Without Nian Fu's ruthlessness, Zhu Jianji would not have been able to become what he is today.

So after he returned home, the day after he paid homage to the Ancestral Temple, he went to pay homage to Nian Fu's tomb, Yu Qian's tomb, and the tombs of all his masters. This time he was really grateful.

He used to feel that the masters didn't teach everything, but only asked them to endorse.

But when he grew up, he knew that the master had put everything they had learned throughout their lives in books and asked him to recite them. Every time he encountered something and grew older, he would gain an additional layer of understanding when he recalled these books.

"How can I not remember that there are still scars on my back?" Zhu Jianjian sighed: "But I have never served Master Yu, Master Yu, and all my masters for a day. I am unfilial."

"The most important saying of Zhenguan politicians is that water can carry a boat and also capsize it, right?"

Geng Yu ignored his emotion and said, "Do you know what water is?"

"Of course we know that the people are water, and the people refer to scholars." Zhu Jianji said.

People from ancient times to the present are not ordinary people, but scholars.

"Who is the taxi now?" Geng Yu asked.

"You, your honor, the local gentry, officials, and landlords can just do it." Zhu Jianji said.

Geng Yu shook his head: "There is still one thing missing, capital."

"Are they also considered scholars?"

Zhu Jianjian suddenly fell silent: "Money can reach the sky, well, it doesn't count. Although it lowers the rank of the military class, it still counts."

"Yes, money can reach the sky."

Geng Yu said: "Since capital has entered the ranks of scholars, should you completely fall out with them?"

"Do you still remember what I said the first time I gave you a lecture?"

"The water that carries the boat cannot be easily turned over."

"If you stir the clear water above, it will muddy the water below, and eventually the whole fish tank will be muddy. A clear stream is only clear on the top, but turbid underground. If you stir it, it will become completely muddy."

Zhu Jianji frowned.

"The four billion people you talk about cannot achieve great things."

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a common people who has achieved great things."

"You want to talk about Han Gaozu and the Taizu of this dynasty?"

"Fourth, do you still remember the records of Taizu you have read? The overlords at the same time as Taizu, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Liu Futong, and Han Lin'er, were not as respectful to scholars as Taizu, so Taizu conquered the world."

"At all times, civilians are driven cannon fodder."

"As long as you protect Shi and stand on Shi's side, you can ensure the succession of the Zhu family to the throne."

"On the contrary, if you stir up the muddy water like this, it will cause turmoil in the succession of the Ming Dynasty."

Geng Yu said again: "You are good at fighting. You should know when it is to your advantage to stir up trouble?"

"As a superior, the future ruler of the world, you have muddied the waters of your own world, shown all the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty to the people of the world, and let the people of the world see the bad things of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think the people of the world will still respect you? "

"As a superior, you should remain mysterious and powerful, letting people in the world speculate and fear you."

"And you, who seem to be doing everything in your power and making a lot of profits, are actually just immediate interests and are just passing by."

"Fourth, as one of your best friends."

"I'll call you Fourth Brother one last time, please stop."

Geng Yu stood up, took three steps back, and knelt on the ground.

From this moment on, there are no friends, only kings and ministers.

Zhu Jianji's mind wavered, but he became determined in an instant: "It's a good question, can you get rid of me with just a little money?"

Geng Yu didn't speak, he had already said everything he wanted to say.

At the same time, he also gained insight into the fourth child’s thoughts.

The fourth child wanted to ensure the smooth succession of the throne and use the royal family to control capital, but he was not determined to change his path.

As long as it doesn't involve a dispute between Tao and Dharma, it won't be a matter of life and death.

Two days later, Peng Fengyi visited.

As soon as he entered the palace, a hearty laughter could be heard: "I heard that you shamed that guy Geng Yu away, and I want to sever my ties with you. You, Mr. Zhu, are quite powerful."

"Feng Yi!"

Zhu Jianji hurried out to greet him. Peng Shao was his good friend and his first bachelor's lecturer. The two met when he was five years old and were considered his best friends.

"Hahaha!" Peng Shao held Laosi's hand and walked into the inner hall at a fast pace.

He is nearly eighty this year. If the old emperor had not tried hard to persuade him to stay, he would probably have retired.

"Come here, prepare some wine and food. Fengyi and I will get drunk before we retire. Grandson, come and serve us!" Zhu Jianzhen knew that a result could be reached today.

Zhu Youyi immediately put down his political affairs and poured wine to serve him. Peng Shao didn't refuse. After drinking for three rounds, he said, "All the boys in your family are excellent. They are much better than the few incompetent ones in my family."

"It doesn't matter who educated me? Haha!"

Zhu Jianjian was happy: "Feng Yi, you were the one who caught me the first time I went to dig out a bird's nest."

"Nonsense, how dare I go to the harem to catch you? It was obviously the eunuch who dragged you out, and I took you to the Qing palace."

"Isn't this still you!"

Zhu Jianzhen laughed and said: "When I first came back, Empress Tan told me these interesting things. I almost forgot about them. She took me down from the tree, spanked me many times, and asked the eunuch to take me Take me to Qianqing Palace and let my father deal with me."

"After that, you will go to Yonghe Palace to steal bird eggs every year." Peng Shao said with a smile.

"Hahaha, the eggs in Queen Tan's palace are delicious. The idiots Lao Er and Lao San didn't dare to go up and catch them. They gave me a break, and then every time they could only lick the egg skin, I ate it. Good luck, haha!”

Zhu Jianzhen was in a happy mood when he talked about his childhood: "Empress Tan would spank me every time she caught me."

"Later I found out that it was carefully raised by Empress Tan and used for medicine. I ate it every time, hahaha."

"I haven't tasted the taste of bird eggs for a long time. What you said made my mouth water." Peng Shao said with a smile.

Zhu Jianjian laughed and said, "Come here, prepare some bird eggs to satisfy Feng Yi's craving. Grandson, you go get them yourself and run away."

Looking at Zhu Youyi's back, Zhu Jianji asked: "How is my eldest son doing?"

"Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, a wise king." Peng Shao said from the bottom of his heart.

"Compared with the second and third children in my family, there is a huge difference. The fourth child is even more versatile. He is the worst one in my family."

Zhu Jianji was very proud.

Peng Shao's son is not very good at it. Now he is just a student of the Imperial College, studying for a doctorate. He has been studying for more than ten years and has not graduated yet.

"Since your grandson is so outstanding, why do you have to worry about the inheritance of the throne?" Peng Shao got to the point.

"Feng Yi, this chair belongs to my family. It was passed down to me by my father. It will be passed down to my descendants forever."

"But the world has changed and the situation has changed."

"I'm not a saint, why don't I worry about my children and grandchildren?"

"Aren't you, Peng Shao, worried about your two sons in the Imperial College at all?"

"But Fengyi, the friendship between you and me is here. Even if your son is a loser, I can still use him and ensure his wealth for the rest of his life."

"But can you guarantee that the throne of my Zhu family will be passed down forever?"

Zhu Jian said.

"I'm sure you can believe it?"

Peng Shao asked back: "Fourth, no matter what I say or do, you will never believe it. This is your character. I know it best."

"Then let's talk about benefits." Zhu Jianjian stopped smiling.

"All the people who are captured are at your disposal. Whether they are killed or chopped into pieces, we don't care. When Xixian, Binzhi, and Yu Qiao return home, let you light the first fire."

"The vacant official position will be replaced by your person, allowing you to control the court and regain your imperial power. This is the second fire."

"The third fire is that in the entire Ming Dynasty, all large companies that do not have royal family shares will let you, Zhu Laosi, take a stake in them for a win-win situation."

It can be said that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty made huge concessions.

I've given enough face inside.

If it were Zhu Jianqi, these things would be enough to suffocate him, but if it were Zhu Jianji, they probably wouldn't be able to satisfy his appetite.

Sure enough, Zhu Jianjian sneered: "I don't see your sincerity."

"The cabinet position has been vacated for you, your people are in charge of the cabinet, and capital also allows you to participate. Isn't it enough?"

"Not enough, far from it."

Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "Feng Yi, you know me. If I only want these, I only need to tell Binzhi, and Binzhi will give them to me."

"you!"

Peng Shao's eyes were frozen: "You can't be too greedy, can you?"

"Is that me being greedy? That should be mine!"

Zhu Jianjian's face became angry: "Feng Yi, shouldn't the imperial power belong to me? Shouldn't you be killed for stealing the boss's imperial power?"

"The world's capital, if it weren't for me, Da Ming, where would this bullshit capital come from? A bunch of shady rats! Kill whatever you want!"

Peng Shao paused slightly: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize it..."

"Cover!"

"Look, how did you do it?"

"I'll beat ten thousand of you if I'm alone!"

Zhu Jianjian snorted: "Feng Yi, when it comes to war, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty combined are no match for me, and I have great righteousness! I am the emperor! If you raise an army, you are rebelling! It is only right for me to kill you!"

"My Ming Dynasty has not lost the hearts of the people to the point where the whole world is in rebellion!"

"The country has been raising scholars for one hundred and forty years, but I don't believe that among the four billion people, there are not even one hundred million who are loyal to the country?"

"Don't forget, my father is more kind and righteous to the people of the world!"

Peng Shao was forced back by Zhu Jianji's morale, and his tone softened: "Capsizing a boat does not necessarily mean a head-on confrontation."

"Then just strike first and take advantage!"

Zhu Jianjian said: "What do you think of my eldest son? My eldest son died in the war, and I still have a second son, a third son, and a fourth son! I still have dozens of royal grandchildren!"

"I have more than thirty younger brothers and hundreds of nephews among all the feudal states in the world!"

"As for the army, I, the Great Shang, still have an army of one million untouched. The Ming Dynasty can recruit 30 million people at any time in my hands! The vassal state can also recruit tens of millions of troops at any time!"

"Feng Yi, in the entire court, I am the only one who can fight with large armies!"

"I have received the true biography from my master. The best general in the world is me! Zhu Jianji!"

"What are you fighting with me for?"

This is the fourth child's confidence.

Peng Shao was stared at by his fourth son and had to retreat: "The war is about logistics. Capital controls the world's wealth. You only have soldiers and tactics. How do you fight?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Jianjian laughed: "Feng Yi, you are too naive."

"I, the Ming Dynasty, have issued an imperial edict. Won't all the vassal states in the world pay tribute?"

"My brothers, will they help you or me?"

Peng Shao shook his head and expressed his objection: "Not necessarily. The vassal states in the world dare not split now. It is because of your Majesty's fright. Once your Majesty is unlucky, the relationship between the vassal state and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably fall apart."

"Moreover, if the deposed prince is still there, the vassal states in the world may fear the Ming Dynasty, but once you ascend the throne, the vassal states in the world will definitely be as fearful as a tiger."

"If the capital in the world rises up to rebel against Ming Dynasty, they will definitely help capital, but they will not help you."

"What happens after that?" Zhu Jianjian asked him.

Peng Shao was startled: "You mean, the vassal overlord will take over the Ming Dynasty in the future? But then you will no longer be the fourth child!"

"It is true that I, Zhu Laosi, am no longer the fourth son, and there is no longer my eldest son, but when it comes to leading troops and fighting in wars, my second son is more powerful than me!"

"Can he break into the Ming Dynasty from Eastern Europe?"

"At the end of the day, it's my family who will take care of it!" Zhu Jianjian said with a smile.

"not necessarily!"

Peng Shao said: "The twenty princes of Wei, a powerful country in the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty, are like dragons and phoenixes. Once there is a change in the country, the twenty princes will surely return to the country and succeed to the throne..."

"Then it's over. The meat will still rot in my old Zhu's house." Zhu Jianjian said with a smile.

"Fourth Brother, if you are so selfless, you will no longer be the Fourth Brother I know."

Peng Shao smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be against me."

"Keeping your own throne is your bottom line."

"It is true that Zhu Ming will not perish, but it is not certain who will sit on the throne."

"So, the conditions I offered are already very favorable."

Zhu Jianji smiled and said nothing.

Capital is afraid.

After all, people are afraid of cannons. After a few hits, the iron sheet will be destroyed, let alone the people.

No matter how powerful the capitalists are, they are still human beings. After several families are wiped out, they will definitely be willing to give more things.

What Zhu Jianjian looks forward to most is that the capitalists will be driven crazy and then rebel. That would be great. He can directly slaughter one province. If it is not enough, he will slaughter three provinces and restore peace to the people.

At this time, Zhu Youyi came back with the eggs.

Zhu Jianzhen cracked the eggs for him personally and put them on Peng Shao's plate for him to eat.

"Eldest son, do you still remember your adoptive father Fengyi?" Zhu Jianjian asked with a smile.

"How dare you forget?" Zhu Youyi was very depressed. After returning to China, more than a dozen adoptive fathers appeared to him. His father was careless when he was young. After drinking too much, he asked him to worship his adoptive father.

This is still a group of dead people, otherwise there would have been dozens of adoptive fathers.

"You are still pretending to be Feng Yi. When you were four years old, you forgot about peeing on Feng Yi's face while he was sleeping?"

Zhu Jianjian laughed.

Peng Shao was eating eggs when he suddenly felt bad: "Why are you just talking shit and pissing at the dinner table? You don't look like a king."

"It's not easy for old friends to get together."

Zhu Jianjian said: "I was easy to make friends when I was young, but the ones I made were all heroes and outstanding talents. Now there are not many friends left. Let's count it as one more time if we can get together with each other."

After today's talks, both sides revealed their trump cards.

There is only one step away from the final success of the negotiation.

That night, he went to stay at the Yangxin Hall.

"Fourth child, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "We have just killed a few people. Keep killing. The imperial power is never afraid of being too powerful."

"Private capital? Huh, what a fart!"

"Without private capital, my imperial enterprise can still support the normal operation of the world."

As he said that, he took out the key and pointed to the chair: "Go and turn away, I will take you to see my house."

Enter the secret room.

Zhu Jianzhen was dumbfounded. He was still asking for money from capital. Who would have thought that the biggest capital in the world is his father.

"Don't underestimate the people. Compared with the money in the world, my money is just a drop in the bucket."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Lao Si, money is the most important support for imperial power."

"If the emperor has no money, how can he make the people of the world work for him?"

"And where does the money come from?"

"As for me, I'm relatively good at business, so I saved some money."

"But if it were any other emperor, he would definitely not be able to make money by doing business, because no matter whether it was in the palace or the previous dynasty, everyone who dealt with it would be greedy. The greed would come and go, and the emperor would only get a little bit of residue."

"If the emperor wants to make money, he will either resort to taxation or impose a monopoly, such as taking private mines into imperial ownership and then sending mine supervisors to collect private wealth."

Zhu Jianjian was just about to say that he could kill a group of people.

"It's useless. If you dare to kill them, they will run away. In the future, businessmen will learn to be smart and support a group of white gloves to help them serve at the front desk."

"When you wait to kill, it's just to kill some white gloves and seize some free money."

"The real capital bosses will hide under the water and you can't find them."

"It's of no use."

"Besides, killing the chicken to retrieve the egg is not a long-term solution."

"So, I support you in integrating the imperial enterprise into the world's capital and turning it into the largest capital in the world, using the emperor's capital instead of changing your ideals and your path."

"This is the right path."

"Do you know why it needs to be turned into capital?"

Zhu Qiyu asked the fourth child to help him out: "I am preparing for a rainy day."

"One day, my Zhu family's throne will no longer be guaranteed, but I have enough wealth to support my Zhu family's transformation into the best family in the world."

"Didn't the Yuan family of the Northern Wei Dynasty become Jing Zhaoyuan?"

"The royal family may be eliminated from history, but the aristocratic family will not."

"Especially from political families, there is still a chance of taking power in the future."

"When the Zhu family comes to power next time, they will need a lot of money, and what I have saved will be of great use until that day. It will be enough to support my Zhu family and take charge of the world's power again."

"At that time, as long as the party members are well cultivated, the power of the Zhu family will be nothing more than a change of name from emperor. In essence, it will still be the power of my Zhu family."

Zhu Jianjian admired the old emperor's foresight.

"Dad, since when have you been preparing?"

"Thirty years of Jingtai!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "At that time, I felt that the court was beginning to be unsatisfactory, and the world was falling out of my control."

"I just thought about it. My imperial power has been eroded."

"At that time, there were two paths before me. One was to rise up to resist and take back the imperial power, and the other was to follow the trend and accumulate strength."

"I chose the second path."

"No matter how strong I am, I will only be strong for one lifetime."

"But if I persist, I can make the Zhu family strong from generation to generation."

"So, I started planning to divide the kings and let my descendants bloom and spread leaves all over the world."

"Even when Yang Yiqing was doing power experiments in the Kingdom of Jin, I turned a blind eye and even occasionally gave Yang Yiqing support."

"Do you know why?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Zhu Jianji shook his head.

"If this experiment is not done in the vassal state, it must be done in the Ming Dynasty, and it must be done with my descendants."

Zhu Qiyu said: "While I am still here, I can still control the power in the world. The experiments are under my control, so I feel at ease."

"So, I am supporting Yang Yiqing in his experiments."

"They think they have explored a unique path, but in fact they are all part of my planning."

"Everything is under my control."

Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "But, in order to appease the boss, I exposed my family background to him, but something happened."

"Some officials smelled a political conspiracy here."

"So, the incident of changing the crown prince against me happened."

"I tried my best to stop it at that time, because the pattern of the whole world was a chessboard laid out by me myself. I couldn't move it anywhere. It was a chessboard that I had carefully laid out for more than thirty years."

"Ruined by civil servants!"

"I knew then that I had to let you return to the country. Only you can suppress the officials. You must tell them with your blood that the throne of the Zhu family can never be lost!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister.

This old man who pretended to be dead secretly planned such a horrific thing.

Zhu Jianjian clicked his tongue after hearing this.

But if you look at the chessboard of the world and the layout of the world's vassal kings, you can tell that the old emperor has taken great pains.

Why was the 20-year-old King of Wei sealed in the Western Frontier?

The main reason is that Lao Twenty is the most powerful prince besides Lao Si. He is also the Queen's legitimate son and Zhu Jianqi's biological brother. Once there is a change in the country, Lao Twenty can immediately march eastward, enter the central capital, and seize the throne.

The Shang, Sui, and Wei formed a triangle, which not only checked and balanced each other, but also defended the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the sea, two island chains perfectly seal the east coast.

This game of chess started to go bad when the prince was replaced.

Fortunately, there was no bleeding and Zhu Jianji returned home smoothly.

Therefore, when King Wu was assassinated, the old emperor believed that it was a civilian official who did it.

"Dad, you mean that the direct reason for changing the crown prince is that you have too much money?" Zhu Jianjian asked.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes."

"Then my son has killed so many people this time and more money has flowed into the internal funds. Doesn't that mean our family has more money?"

"Fourth brother, do you know what your strengths are?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

"fight?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, it is a war. All the famous generals in the world are not your opponent. Do the people in the world dare to rebel? The more they rebel, the more they will lay the foundation for you and make your throne more stable!"

"I never worry about you inheriting the throne, nor do I worry about your grandson."

"Looking at Rong'er now, he is also a talent that can be made."

"But I don't have time."

"I don't have time to train my grandson or Yong'er."

"What I can do is to let future generations use their family wealth when they encounter unsolvable political problems and transform my royal family into a political family."

"Whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a vote in the future, we can ensure the stable establishment of our royal family."

"As for whether we can ride on the wind again, it depends on the ability of future generations. I can't control it."

"Fourth, there's not much I can do for you."

Zhu Jianji burst into tears: "Dad! You have done enough. Look after your son! Look after your son!"

"Fourth child, surviving is more important than anything else. If your father lives a long life, you will live a long life. Once you die early, someone will harm you!"

Zhu Qiyu said word by word: "Remember, my Zhu family does not have a short-lived gene. If you die early, someone will harm you."

"When I'm gone, you can trust Concubine Tan, she won't harm you."

Zhu Jianjian kept nodding: "Dad, Emperors Renzong and Xuanzong?"

"Emperor Taizong died abnormally."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Fourth brother, you need to read more of Taizong's Records. The articles there are too big, including King Zhao poisoning Taizong and the Yulu Rebellion. You need to read them thoroughly."

"As the son of Emperor Xuanzong, I died at a young age, but I lived to be more than eighty years old. Why don't you understand?"

"Fourth, if I can live a long life, you can live a long life. If you don't live to be seventy, someone is harming you. Remember!"

Zhu Qiyu repeatedly warned.

Zhu Jianjian kept nodding: "Son, remember, son, remember!"

"You must learn medical science by yourself. Even if Concubine Tan is trustworthy, she is old after all. If there is any mistake or omission, it will be too late to regret it. Learn it by yourself and don't believe anyone. I will teach you the method of decoction. Remember, no one can believe it, including your children and grandchildren.”

Zhu Qiyu grabbed his hand: "In this world, only your father and I will not harm you. My son, only your father and I treat you sincerely. Others are all fake!"

Zhu Jianjian kept nodding: "Dad, my son knows that he will take care of himself."

"Take care, take care!"

Zhu Qiyu repeatedly warned: "While you are alive, teach Yi'er and Yang'er. They are too young and will be deceived. The boss is over fifty years old and is still so stupid. You can't let your children and grandchildren make the same mistakes again, fourth child!"
