Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97 Confrontation between ancestors and grandchildren, an ambition to support justice
Mao Xiang arrived earlier than Zhu Xi.

When Zhu Xi came to the imperial study room quickly, Mao Xiang had already reported the situation outside to Zhu Yuanzhang.

".What's the situation outside? How do the people react?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Zhu Ping who was about to speak and asked coldly.

"Everyone. Everyone thinks that you will protect Chang Mao. Some of the victims' relatives have even decided to take matters into their own hands and assassinate Chang Mao. The slaves have temporarily controlled them."

Mao Xiang replied softly.

This is a very bad phenomenon.

Because this shows that not many people in the entire Yingtian Mansion actually believe in the emperor's justice.

"You actually know how to manipulate public opinion! You really gave birth to a good son!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table hard, and finally looked at Zhu Ming aside.

"Father! This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me! I just found out about this matter just now, so I rushed to the palace immediately!"

Zhu Xi quickly explained.

But this explanation made Zhu Yuanzhang even more unhappy.

"Then do I still want to praise you?"

"Mao Xiang! Xuan Zhu has an audience from his heart!"

This was the first time he called Zhu Congxin by his first name.

Not only did it make Zhu Xiang feel cold, but it also made Mao Xiang sweat a lot on his forehead.

However, when Zhu Congxin walked into the hall at a fast pace, the originally oppressive atmosphere suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of tearing.

In a daze, they seemed to see two competing giant dragons, baring their fangs and roaring at each other without giving in.

[What a monster prodigy!He was actually able to face His Majesty's dragon power!I'm afraid you forgot to drink Meng Po soup in your last life! 】

In order not to be affected, Mao Xiang quickly retreated to the door.

Only Zhu Chen was left, his whole body stiffly sandwiched between the two.

"It seems that Mencius has had a great influence on you. Do you want to play the trick with me of valuing the king and the people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.

Ever since he walked out of the Chang family's secret room that day, he had actually discovered the changes in Zhu Congxin.

But he never thought that he could do this for a few people.

"Whether the people are valuable or not depends on how much you need them."

"Similarly, whether you are noble or not depends on how much the people need you."

"If the existence of the king has no positive effect on the people. How valuable do you think you can be?"

Zhu Congxin replied calmly.

Also holding his little hands behind his back.

"I don't need the people of this mansion! Without them, I still have thousands of people! And as people of the Ming Dynasty, they don't have such a long memory at all. In less than a year, they will forget what they have done today. Everything that happened. I am still the emperor respected by millions of people! But you and your people will die in the ditch."

Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

These words are not trivial.

But Zhu Congxin still didn't give in at all.

"That's not necessarily the case. Have you forgotten the swords and pens of those Confucian scholars? Throughout the thousands of years of China, how many emperors have been able to escape their verbal and written criticism? The First Emperor's achievements are eternal, isn't he also criticized by others? tyrant?"

"I don't care." "Then let's get closer. Let's talk about national cohesion. If this is done, everyone can be proud of Daming. Even if they leave the land of Daming, they can still regard themselves as Daming people and respect The royal family of the Ming Dynasty abides by the laws of the Ming Dynasty! Doesn’t it matter if we lose these?”

Zhu Congxin continued to ask.

This involves the topic of territorial expansion.

In just a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's lifeline was completely pinched.

"How can you be sure that this thing can have such a strong effect? ​​Have you not considered that this will chill the hearts of those heroes of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a few steps back and sat down.

"A filial son emerges from under a stick! You must admit your mistakes! If a son becomes resentful and denies you as his father because you taught him a lesson, then he doesn't want the son! Just like Hu Weiyong! He is also a hero! But he also deserves to die. Even if the other heroes are a little bit disappointed, they can only bear it! If they don’t want to bear it, let those who can bear it replace him, maybe the new one will be more obedient and capable. Hmph! Talent may be hard to find, but sensible Isn’t that just a handful of noble nobles?”

Zhu Congxin continued to sneer.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression finally softened a lot.

But Zhu Xi, who was standing next to him, could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth: [You have already said it!I haven’t seen how much respect you have for me. 】

"Is there no other way? The Chang family has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!" After glancing at Zhu Chong, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply and asked.

He asked tentatively.

But the next moment, Zhu Congxin gave an affirmative answer: "Yes! It will be Grandma Huang's birthday in two days. You can sentence Chang Mao to death first, and then grant amnesty to the world! In this way, not only the people of Yingtian Mansion can feel Appreciating your sincerity, those nobles will never forget your kindness."

"Is it that simple?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled, and then his eyes flashed slightly.

He was certain that things were definitely not as simple as Zhu Congxin said.

"So next, my grandson will let the people of Heavenly Law kill Chang Mao first before you can grant amnesty to the world."

"In this way, the nobles who know that you will grant amnesty to the world will definitely not blame you for this matter."

"And the people outside don't know that you are ready to pardon Chang Mao, so they will not reduce their respect for you."

"You can even have a new reason to continue arresting members of the Heavenly Assembly."

"But I don't recommend actually catching it."

"Because by keeping them, they might be able to help you get rid of some borers that are inconvenient for you to deal with."

"It's like a scum like Chang Mao."

"The existence of such a person will do nothing but lower your reputation among the people and cost you a lot of money."

"Unlike me, I eat less, do more, and don't cause you any trouble."

"You have been lucky for eight lifetimes to have such a good grandson like me!"

Sure enough, as his voice fell, Zhu Congxin grinned and revealed his ultimate goal.

He still didn't want to let Chang Mao go.

This matter has nothing to do with any personal grudges.

It's simply that he can't see that someone can escape the sanction of justice and morality so recklessly.

You could say he was nosy.

But in life, who doesn't want to be a superhero who upholds justice, punishes rape and eliminates evil?

Even though he didn't have the ability before, he would still fantasize about it from time to time.

Now that you have the ability, can you still throw it away?
In that case, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?
