Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172 172 What Ming needs is not the trust of its subjects, but fear
This made Zhu Congxin quite annoyed.

But just when he was thinking about who he was going to force to eat, a brave figure suddenly took a step forward, sat down at the dining table with a golden knife, and began to eat in large pieces.

"I don't know what you are afraid of? How many of the things we ate before were not contaminated by the bones in the ground? The feces of humans and animals? If you are even afraid of this, you might as well stop eating in the future. Because everything you eat is A grain of rice may actually be contaminated with the bones of some ancestors in the land."

While eating, he did not forget to say with disdain.

And among those present, the one who dared to speak to Zhu Congxin in such a tone was naturally none other than Wang Zhuoyi.

"What General Wang said makes sense! I'm waiting for the prime minister!"

Su Jianyi was the first to react.

After bowing sincerely, he calmly picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted Zhu Congxin's craftsmanship carefully.

And after eating this, he was instantly opened a door to a new world!

"Is this the same bunch of strange fruits just now? Isn't this so delicious? And it seems that the taste is completely different with different cooking methods! The only similarity is that no matter how they are cooked, the flesh of these fruits always reveals It has a natural fragrance! Little master! Can this thing also be used as a staple food?"

He couldn't even stop.

Because the fragrance of those potatoes had already made him completely forget the origin of this item.

"It's not impossible. If you want, you can even grind them into powder and make pasta."

Zhu Congxin nodded.

Seeing Wang Zhuoyi and Su Jianyi enjoying themselves more and more, Ma He finally couldn't help but muster up the courage and picked up the chopsticks: "I'll try it too!"

Then there are Su He, Kaiji, Ge Xiaolan, Guanyinnu, and those generals from Liaodong.

In the beginning, everything was in perfect harmony.

Almost everyone has been immersed in Zhu Congxin's craftsmanship.

But when Zhu Congxin couldn't help but finally picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the spicy and sour potato shreds she cooked, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became weird.

"woooooo"

Zhu Congxin actually cried.

While eating, I couldn't help but shed tears.

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Don't scare me!"

Guanyinnu quickly hugged him into his arms and asked with concern.

But after hearing her inquiry, Zhu Congxin cried more and more sadly.

Yes!

He is homesick!

This stack of pickled cabbage and potato shreds not only stimulated his taste buds, but also reminded him of his past life.

This is what is called the breakdown of adulthood.

He thought he could forget everything in the past.

But the moment he put the spicy and sour potato shreds into his mouth, he suddenly realized that he was not as strong as he thought.

What's even more terrible is that even if the thoughts in his heart have begun to surge like a tide, he can't talk to anyone after all.

So crying became the only way for him to release his emotions.

"His Highness must have missed his teacher. Speaking of which, since His Highness entered the Xihe Hall, his master seems to have not visited him for a long time."

Looking at Zhu Congxin's wrinkled little face, Su Jianyi seemed to understand his emotions and couldn't help but sigh deeply.This statement actually has some basis.

Because with regard to the cooking skills and the use of ingredients that Zhu Congxin had just shown, he had enough reason to believe that those methods were all the work of that mysterious master.

Otherwise, with his many years of experience as an imperial chef, it is absolutely impossible that he has not heard of this cooking method.

After hearing these words, Guanyin slave, who was originally extremely nervous, finally felt relieved.

"Be good! Our family has the strongest hearts! When Yingtian's warship is built, mother will accompany you to find your master!"

She gently kissed Zhu Congxin's forehead and comforted her warmly.

Although it was of no use, Zhu Congxin's crying became somewhat quieter.

"Mom, please send the rest of the potatoes back. Grandpa Huang must have been a little impatient waiting."

He said softly while suppressing his sobs.

"Okay! Mom will send a few secret guards to do it. They are all confidants of my Wang family, and there will never be any mistakes!"

Guanyinnu responded immediately.

In fact, Wang Zhuoyi wanted to take over this job at the beginning.

The purpose was to be powerful in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang.

However, when he thought of the complexity of the situation in Goryeo, he immediately suppressed his vanity and stayed silently.

It's a pity that no matter how he guarded against the officials in the city, a letter from Goryeo finally fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands on the morning of the third day.

"Your Majesty! The situation in Goryeo is related to the country. The prince of Sihai is so willful and reckless that it is really difficult for him to hold a big position! I kindly ask your majesty to recall the prince immediately to avoid more serious consequences."

"What Master Song said makes sense! Goryeo has already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so it is really not appropriate to start a war again. Otherwise, other foreign countries will no longer trust the Ming Dynasty, and will even go against the Ming Dynasty from now on! Your Majesty, please recall the Sihai Commandery Prince immediately!"

"Your Majesty, please recall the Prince of Sihai immediately!"

Almost all ministers were opposed to what Zhu Congxin did.

If they hadn't considered that Zhu Congxin was Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved grandson, they would have even wanted to take part in his violent crime that harmed the country.

And this even includes Li Shanchang, who has always been extremely ambiguous about Zhu Congxin.

【.well!It's coming again. It's coming again.]

[Every time when we think he is going to take over, he will always show up like this. He really doesn’t take his own future seriously at all.]

However, just when all the ministers were anxious because of Wang Yu's news, Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne suddenly nodded to the prince below: "Biao'er. What do you think?"

The hall fell silent instantly.

And those officials who were trying their best to denounce Zhu Congxin also quickly looked at the prince's location.

Because in a sense, the prince's decision can already influence the outcome of this matter.

"Father, before I answer your question, I would like to ask the ministers another question."

"My lords, in your opinion, the reason why our vassal countries turn to us is because they trust us, or because they are afraid of us?"

"You said that Xin'er's actions would make me, Da Ming, lose his trust."

"But have you ever thought that maybe I, the great Ming Dynasty, don't need the trust of those vassal countries at all?"

"Perhaps they should have lived in fear of my Ming Dynasty from the beginning?"
