Chapter 142 Zhu Yuanzhang: It’s time for us to show off the power of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 142 Zhu Yuanzhang: It’s time for us to show off the power of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao's visit to the Ministry of Rites this time was originally about Hu Weiyong's previous treatment of foreign envoys differently.

Now that I have figured it out, I naturally won’t keep it here.

And when he returned to the palace, he immediately found his father.

After listening to Hu Weiyong's words that Zhu Biao relayed in detail, Lao Zhu's face turned particularly ugly.

But this time, he didn't have an attack on the spot. Instead, he sat down on the steps, picking his chin and slowly thinking about it.

"Biao'er, do you think what Hu Weiyong said makes sense?"

Zhu Biao was a man of etiquette and etiquette, but he didn't dare to walk on the steps with him.

Dad is sitting, so he can only stand.

Hearing his father's question, he pondered for a moment before answering slowly.

"Father, I feel like my son, Duke Hu's words of advice are deafening and enlightening."

"The foreign races are not of the same mind as us."

"They are just wild dogs looking for food."

"When our Central Plains dynasty was powerful, they would come to our door to curry favor for a while, asking for a bite of meat."

"If our Central Plains dynasty is weak and short of breath, then they will rush up with bared teeth and bite two pieces of flesh from our bodies."

"To put it bluntly, as the old saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different minds!"

That's right!

This sentence is the core of Zhu Biao's real change of concept.

It was precisely this sentence that caused a sudden change in his mentality of treating all the people around him as his younger brothers.

You treat others as your younger brother, but they treat you as their biggest enemy.

One by one, hearing Hu Weiyong talk about it, they are all aimed at the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, after all the calculations, it was Daming who suffered in the end.

Listening to Zhu Biao's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's frown deepened.

He unconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the deep palace boudoir was no longer as majestic as before, but more solemn.

"Biao'er!"

"The child is here!"

"There's something that Dad is wrong about!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao knelt on the ground with a thud.

As a father, Zhu Yuanzhang loves his fat son the most, and he is not willing to let his fat son kneel down.

He quickly stood up, pulled the person up, and helped him pat the dust on his body before sighing with a hint of melancholy.

"Sit down and let us have a chat!"

"Ugh!"

"In fact, Weiyong is right about this, we kind of take it for granted!"

"You see, in the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, we listed those countries as countries that cannot be conquered. This is certainly a high regard for those foreign countries."

"But actually, our original intention is to show them. We want them to know that Ming Dynasty will not attack them. We just want them to be more honest."

"But we got it wrong!"

"You are a filial child. When you succeed to the throne in the future, if those foreign countries are dishonest, I'm afraid you can only write a decree to reprimand them."

"After all, your father has already promised a country without conquests, how could you, a filial child like you, go against your father's arrangements!"

"You are like this, let alone future generations?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he let out a long sigh.

"Weiyong still takes a long-term view!"

"Don't talk about future generations. Whenever you have some trouble here, but it turns out that you can't end it because of the trouble caused by dad, dad will feel sad."

"Only others can hit us, but we can't hit others. Isn't this just a fool!"

"Even if you encounter someone who is useless, wouldn't you have to be bullied?" Hearing this, Zhu Biao quickly replied: "Father, there is no need to be so concerned. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Maybe they will be able to come out." Who is more ambitious than my son?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this.

"Not anymore!"

"There will definitely be no one more upbeat than you!"

"This is not bragging, but which of the future generations can work as hard and as freely as we do to cultivate the prince?"

"Without our courage, anyone who becomes a prince will have a troubled life. How can he live up to his expectations?"

"So, it's true that we did something wrong in this matter, and we left hidden dangers for future generations."

"Just admit it when we are wrong, it's nothing!"

"Weiyong is also a member of his own family. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he wouldn't tell you this."

"Then that old boy is showing off his insides!"

"He is now keeping a low profile and focusing on living his small life behind closed doors. If it weren't for an emergency or if he really couldn't stand it, he would never talk to you."

"Biaoer, don't blame Weiyong for what happened today. He is a loyal minister and good general of our old Zhu family!"

Zhu Biao nodded clearly.

"The child knows this!"

"Hu Ping is just a gamer in his daily life, but he has not lost his ability."

"In other words, now that he no longer has the pain of writing documents, Mr. Hu may see things more clearly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.

"The old boy is really happy now."

"Anyway, once the door is closed, the beauty is in your arms, and you can be as happy as you want with love!"

"Look, Biao'er, in the future of our Hongwu Dynasty, this old boy may live the most comfortable life!"

After the father and son joked a few gossips about Hu Weiyong, they finally returned to the issue of Fanbang.

"Biao'er, we figured it out!"

"Actually, what Weiyong wants you to remind us is that we should not be too accustomed to this country."

"That's right when you think about it. We gave those ministers a slap in the face and gave them a sweet date."

"In this country, why can't we just eat sweet dates and not get beaten?"

"right?"

Zhu Biao nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

His temperament is indeed a little softer than Zhu Yuanzhang's, but his inner thoughts are no different.

The whole world belongs to his Lao Zhu family, so why should such a small country only have benefits and not be beaten at all?

If the minister who serves as an errand under his father can't be beaten every now and then for being dishonest, then what's more to say about those foreign countries.

Thinking of this, he discussed the military parade with Zhu Yuanzhang in detail.

This matter is not just as simple as a demonstration.

This thing will boost morale!

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Xu Da, Tang He and other generals into the palace.

Together with Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the East Palace, who was already at the side, everyone discussed it all night long!

To put it bluntly, it is appropriate to display military peaks and conduct military parades.

But how to parade troops and how to show off to other countries.

The knowledge here is huge.

However, Xu Da, Tang He and others did not complain at all. Instead, they were full of energy and interest.

After all, they had long looked past the preferential treatment given to Fanbang in the past.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang can "change his past mistakes", they are naturally happy.

At the same time, they were thinking in their minds.

We, Ming Dynasty, have been friendly for so many years, and it’s time to shake off the dignity of Ming Dynasty’s father.
