Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 630 Are we setting a trap for our descendants again?
Chapter 630: Are we setting a trap for our descendants again?
Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred for merchants and officials was deep in his bones.

Master Hu had already confirmed this.

But there is a big difference between the two.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, officials are there to work for his Zhu family!

The merchants are merely the objects he manages.

He is too lazy to even pay attention!

In his opinion, he was the supreme ruler, and if he looked at the merchant even a little more, he would be giving him face.

This kind of operation, which seems extremely stupid and even unreasonable to people in later generations, is followed as a guiding principle by many people in this era.

Because the classes in this era are so clearly divided!
At least Zhu Yuanzhang was the most persistent on this!
It was for this reason that when he heard Mr. Hu's advice, he frowned instinctively.

"Weiyong, I don't believe it!"

"Is it possible that there are no smart people among those officials?"

"Is there no way they can control those merchants?"

"Besides, we have our butcher's knife hanging high. We will kill those who disobey us one by one. Don't those merchants fear death?"

Obviously, for Zhu Yuanzhang, recruiting merchants to serve as officials was considered to be a heinous crime.

In other words, these words were said by Mr. Hu, and he said them in such a private occasion.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably be furious on the spot!
But Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, I thought you were stubborn, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn that you would ignore everything else!"

"It just so happens that the prince is here today!"

"As for me, I will definitely not enter the imperial court in the future!"

"Then we can talk about some things that are usually inconvenient to talk about!"

hiss……

When Zhu Yuanzhang and his son heard this, they instinctively took a breath.

So scared!

They've even mentioned the official system, and it still can't be considered "inconvenient to say"?
However, Zhu Biao's role was evident at this moment.

After all, he was a young man with plenty of firepower. After he was frightened, he immediately smiled and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Mr. Hu.

"Uncle, let's talk slowly!"

"Today, I will treat you as my father's elder brother and my uncle, and the three of us will chat about family matters!"

"Don't worry about the monarch and his subjects!"

"It's worth it to hear my uncle's teachings!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at his son proudly.

"Well, he is indeed our son. Look how beautifully he speaks!"

Then Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows proudly and provocatively at Master Hu.

The meaning is clear.

"My son has praised and flattered you so much, I want to see what you have to say!"

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's provocative look, Master Hu simply pretended not to see it.

He then picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, then said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

"Tell me something that is not convenient to say on weekdays!"

"Well, first let me ask you a question. What do you think is the most important thing for your Zhu family to maintain its throne?"

As soon as this question came out, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was tense.

This question is so sharp!
But since my fat son has said that today is the day for family chat, there are naturally no taboos.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that a big fish would actually emerge from this unrestrained behavior.

However, at this time Zhu Biao really showed the demeanor of the first executive vice emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He calmed down first, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Master Hu with a face full of suspicion.

"Uncle, if we want to secure our throne, then the people's hearts, finances, taxes, military strength, etc. are all important!" "If you want to pick the most important one, I can't pick it out!"

"Uncle, what do you think?"

At this time, Master Hu had no intention of hiding anything and simply spread his hands.

"If I say that power comes from the barrel of a gun, can you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

"Weiyong, do you mean that whoever controls the military power can become the emperor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some hesitation, even a little bit of disbelief.

But Master Hu nodded very affirmatively.

"That's how it is!"

"Son of Heaven, he who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!"

"This has already been written down in the book!"

"Li Yuan started his army and founded the Tang Dynasty at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin was crowned in Chenqiao. What was the confidence of these two people?"

"Don't they all have soldiers in their hands?"

"Also, although we say to the outside world that you, Zhu Chongba, can become the emperor, it is what the people want, but what is the reality?"

"You and your civil and military officials have snatched this throne!"

"Isn't it?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Master Hu said, he was stunned at first, and then fell into silence.

Obviously, Mr. Hu's words broke his defense.

But he was speechless in response to these words that broke his defense.

When facing other people, he can still say stubbornly, "My destiny is in my hands!"
But the two people in front of us can be said to be eyewitnesses of the incident.

It's no use being stubborn.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was used to making trouble, so he simply didn't dwell on it. Instead, he curled his lips and looked at Master Hu.

"Weiyong, what do you want to say?"

"You wouldn't shut yourself up behind closed doors just to ridicule me, would you?"

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang who was acting helpless, Old Man Hu also rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"What are you thinking!"

"I am now truly tied to Daming."

"As long as your Zhu family is safe and sound, I can live a comfortable life."

"So, of course I hope you two can be more stable!"

"You don't understand good or bad words, right?"

Seeing that the two old brothers were about to start bullfighting again, Zhu Biao hurried forward to stop them.

"Uncle, Father, don't worry, don't worry!"

"Let's talk about what my uncle just said!"

"Uncle, if you are the emperor and the one with the strongest army and the most powerful horse will be the emperor, I will recognize you!"

"What happens after that?"

"What's next?"

Master Hu glared at Old Zhu again, then turned to look at Zhu Biao and said.

"Prince, now that I have come to this point, do you still not understand what I mean?"

"Of course, the emperor of your Zhu family should firmly grasp the military power and increase the military strength of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible!"

"How did the separatist regimes in the late Tang Dynasty and the cession of territory and compensation in the Song Dynasty come about? Wasn't it because the emperor couldn't control the military and the military strength was not good enough?"

"To put it bluntly, if your Zhu family wants to maintain their rule, they must firmly grasp military power, and they must firmly grasp it in the hands of the emperor!"

"Hmm? Weiyong, there's something else behind your words!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he keenly realized that what Mr. Hu said today seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Could it be that I have dug a hole for my future generations in a place that I haven’t seen?
