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

Chapter 227: Suppressing the Grassland
Now that Zhu Di's order has been issued, no one can go against his will.

In today's world, Ming Dynasty can be said to be the most powerful country, and Zhu Di, who is in charge of this empire, is the most powerful person in the world.

Facing the most powerful military force of the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to challenge the first empire in the world to see if its force could crush him.

Even though they are the descendants of Genghis Khan, who conquered Eurasia and was known as the King of Kings, their pride has been beaten away by the Ming Dynasty for almost 50 years.

Therefore, on the third day after Zhu Di issued the oral order, all the heads of the Mongolian tribes and khans who could arrive felt the presence of Fengzhou where Zhu Di was located and came to participate in the meeting held by the Ming Dynasty to divide the pasture.

"See His Majesty the Ming Emperor! May Your Majesty live forever!" Looking at the dozens of Mongolian leaders and Khans kneeling in front of him to salute him, Zhu Di felt quite satisfied.

After all, even if his father destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, he could not make the Mongols kneel down and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, Zhu Di surpassed his father.

"The Ming Dynasty is not the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It will not divide people into three, six or nine grades. As long as you sincerely submit to the Ming Dynasty, whether you are Mongolian or Han, I will treat you equally." Zhu Di sat on the main seat and looked at these Mongolian leaders in front of him. He and the Khan still said comforting words according to the pre-discussed policy, soothing the emotions of these leaders and the Khan.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had just pinned Wala to the ground and beaten him, and two years ago they had beaten the Tatars half to death. Although they provoked the Ming Dynasty first, they could not eliminate the fear of the Ming Dynasty among the people in front of them.

But this is not a bad thing for Ming. After all, these grassland tribes are afraid of power but not moral. Only if you are stronger than him and win over him will he really be submissive to you.

Otherwise, as long as you show a little kindness to them, it will be regarded as weakness.

It makes no sense to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality with these people, because they cannot understand what Ming Dynasty's benevolence, righteousness and morality are about.

In fact, when Zhu Di said this, Zhu Zhanqi could clearly see a trace of contempt on the faces of several leaders and Khans. He seemed to think that the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than that. As long as he pretended to surrender, he could get away with it. .

In the future, when he becomes stronger, he will be like Genghis Khan and conquer the Central Plains again.

Zhu Zhanchun could feel the ambition of these people, and Zhu Di in the main position naturally did the same. However, Zhu Zhanchun relied on his meticulous five senses and spiritual thoughts, while Zhu Di relied on his many years of life experience.

So then, Zhu Di changed his tone and said with a stern expression on his face: "But if someone pretends to surrender and thinks that Ming Dynasty does not know his little thoughts, and plans to imitate Genghis Khan and want to go south to cause chaos, Then I, Ming, won’t be polite. If you want to do this, you can try to see if my Ming’s blade is sharp enough!”

Zhu Di's words were full of murderous intent. Combined with the shouts of "My Emperor, Holy Ming!" by the surrounding Ming army soldiers at this moment, these Mongolian leaders and khans were immediately shocked. Zhu Zhanquan even noticed a few of them. The timid one was almost scared to the point of peeing his pants.

Both Zhu Zhanchun and Zhu Di were satisfied with this result, because only by engraving the fear of the Ming Dynasty into the bones of these people and making them wet their pants when they think of the Ming Dynasty can they truly solve the problems on the grassland once and for all. Let the northern territory of Ming Dynasty be completely settled.

So what Zhu Di is wearing today is not a dragon robe, but a battle armor!After saying these words, he didn't speak again. He just sat on the main seat with a golden sword, looked down at the Mongolian leaders and the Khan, and handed over the matter of dividing the pasture to Zhu Zhanji.

As the future emperor grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji was still a little immature at this time, but he, also dressed in military uniform, stood beside Zhu Di, unfolded a yellow silk cloth, and recited aloud the division of pasture areas for various Mongolian tribes after discussion. There is quite a kind of power like a tiger roaring in the valley, and the appearance of a young prince has already appeared.Zhu Di was undoubtedly satisfied with Zhu Zhanji's performance today, but while looking at Zhu Zhanji, he also turned his attention to Zhu Zhanchun aside.

The two brothers are actually quite similar in appearance and appearance. Although Zhu Zhanquan was physically thin after sleeping for eight years, he later used elixirs to supplement his body and cultivated again to become a real dragon. When I came out, I slept for eight years without being able to afford it.

On the contrary, he has a tall and strong body, a handsome face, and anyone would call him a romantic young man!

In addition, during the Northern Expedition, Zhu Zhanyu personally rode into the battle and captured the enemy chieftain alive, which made him look even more heroic.

If you don't say anything else, at first glance, he is more dignified than Zhu Zhanji.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Zhankun is more like a human king, while Zhu Zhanji is somewhat immature compared to him.

Because of this, Zhu Di fell into a happy trouble.

For any king, having an excellent heir is something to be happy about, but if there are two excellent heirs, it is troublesome.

Because you will be in trouble about which one to choose. After all, people who are good enough will not be willing to fail.

Just like when Li Shimin would launch the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion and Zhu Di would launch an army to quell Jingnan, two equally outstanding heirs would not easily admit that they are inferior to others. Choosing one means giving up the other, the one who was given up. How can you be willing to do so?

Unless they are biological brothers who have had a good relationship since birth, those with deep brotherly feelings can ignore this.

But from ancient times to the present, there have been so many emperors, generals, and ministers. How many of their descendants can be brothers, friends, and brothers?
The smell of power is the most alluring. If Zhu Di himself can't resist it, how can he expect future generations to be exempt from it?
And for Zhu Di, it is better to compete than to compete.

The emperor, who has been riding horses all his life, believes in respecting the strong, and whoever is stronger is qualified to sit in this position.

That's why he provoked a competition between the second oldest and the oldest, just to see who was better between the oldest and the second oldest.

For Zhu Di, he does favor the second child more, but when it comes to choosing his successor, Zhu Di will not involve personal feelings. Whoever is better will be able to sit in this position.

Although the eldest son, as the prince, dissatisfied Zhu Di in all aspects, as the heir to the empire, Zhu Gaochi was qualified, and could be said to be far superior to Zhu Gaoxu, especially in terms of cultivating future generations.

"What a good son the boss has given birth to!" Zhu Di sighed in his heart. After thinking about it, he decided not to worry about this matter. After the boss succeeded to the throne, he would let the boss worry about who should be chosen to succeed the two brothers.
