Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

"My dear grandson has never experienced that turbulent era."

"I haven't really experienced how the White Lotus Sect deceives people and controls their minds. People who are bewitched by the White Lotus Sect are no longer good people."

"Let alone the people in the White Lotus Sect, even the most ordinary believers, the most ordinary people in the world, once they believe in religion, they are useless and ruined."

"Their minds are completely occupied and controlled by the White Lotus Sect. Apart from the White Lotus Sect, they can no longer tolerate anything else."

Zhu Yuanzhang said very solemnly.

In his opinion, even if they were ordinary people, as long as they believed in the White Lotus, they could basically all be killed. No one should be left alive, as those who were left behind would be a scourge to the Ming Dynasty.

In the past troubled times, no one thought much of the White Lotus Sect, but now is not a troubled time, and no one in power will allow such a group to exist.

Before the White Lotus Sect, there were Maitreya Sect, Manichaeism, etc.

In peacetime, these are unacceptable to the rulers and must be completely eliminated.

They would exercise a kind of ideological control over ordinary people, and this kind of control is still very scary, just like the cults hundreds of years later.

"What Grandpa Huang said was brainwashing."

After listening to what Old Zhu said, Zhu Xuan added.

"Yes, it's brainwashing."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this word was very well used and very appropriate, which means brainwashed. He added: "Those who have been brainwashed will have their brains completely broken. Such people must be killed."

Seeing Lao Zhu’s murderous intent once again, Zhu Xuan didn’t know what to say for a moment, but he thought that what Lao Zhu said actually made sense. People who have been brainwashed are basically useless.

At this time, Wen Gui felt that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed a little scary, but thinking that he was his great-grandfather, he had to continue sitting quietly beside Zhu.

"My grandson knows what to do."

Zhu Xuan nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So, what you said, kill them all, no matter who they are, they must be killed, you did a good job, be merciful when you should be merciful, and be ruthless when you shouldn't be merciful!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Xuan nodded.

Now is the time to be ruthless.

"Grandpa, when will your grandson become ruthless and cruel?" Wen Gui listened and asked in a cute voice.

"Wengui, don't interrupt!"

Zhu Xuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

That brat Wen Gui, at his age, doesn't know what cruel and ruthless means. He just thought so when he heard Zhu Xuan and the others say it. He is just a little kid and doesn't need to think about these things.

"Grandpa will teach you later."

Zhu Yuanzhang fondly stroked Wengui's little head and said, "As long as I am still here, I will teach you all these."

Wen Gui hugged Lao Zhu's hand and said, "Of course, great grandfather is always here, forever and ever. Your grandson doesn't want you to leave."

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily and felt very pleased.

Zhu Xuan: "..."

He had never thought that Wen Gui knew how to speak like this and could please Old Zhu so much. This child was a little bit incredible.

"Okay, go down and work!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately drove him away, and said, "I haven't finished planting my land yet, and you've disturbed me. Don't bother me with this kind of shit in the future. You can do whatever you want. Remember that you are the regent."

"Grandson understands." Zhu Xuan took the telegram, bowed and left.

Looking at Zhu Xuan's back as he walked out, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Our Biaoer has a successor. My dear grandson has done much better than Biaoer, haha..."

Seeing that Zhu Xuan was so outstanding, and that he was the child of Biaoer, whom he taught himself, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Wen Gui already knew who Biao'er was, and tilted his cute little head and said, "Grandpa, your grandson will be your pride in the future. He must be happier to see how good your grandson is in heaven."

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy that his little great-grandson was becoming more and more obedient and sensible.

If Biaoer knew that he had such a grandson, he would definitely be happier than himself.

Zhu Xuan left the Qianqing Palace and continued to send telegrams, telling them to kill all the people who should be killed without leaving a single one alive. All the believers of the White Lotus Sect or those who could be mobilized by the White Lotus Sect were brainwashed.

There would be no problem even if we killed all of these people.

Not only Lao Zhu thought so, Zhu Xuan also thought so.

At the same time, people are particularly concerned about the situation on the borders of various places. The chaos created by the White Lotus Sect is not worth mentioning in the face of the absolute firepower strength of the Ming border troops.

However, he was also worried about whether there might be any special accidents, especially from Li Jinglong's side, as he did not believe that this guy could lead troops into battle.

Someone must always be paying attention so that if there is any bad situation, Zhu Xuan can know it first and make necessary arrangements at the first time to avoid falling into real chaos.

Next, he put aside the issue of unrest in the border areas for the time being, believing that the garrisons in various places had enough capabilities to deal with it, and that even if they caused unrest, it would not cause much trouble.

This shows Zhu Xuan's confidence in the Ming Dynasty and its strong national strength.

-

The next day, in the morning.

Zhu Xuan convened a morning court session. As soon as he sat down in the main hall, he saw Jin Youzi approaching and saying, "Your Highness, I have something I want to remind you of."

"Say it!"

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly, giving him a chance to speak.

After Jin Youzi got the consent, he immediately said in a loud voice: "I want to tell Your Highness that our Ming Dynasty is now strong and our territory is large enough. If we continue to expand abroad, I am worried that it will bring more problems and discomfort."

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes.

The other ministers were all stunned to see that Jin Youzi dared to raise this matter directly, but they quickly realized that it was probably because of the recent unrest in various border areas.

There are actually not many secrets in the court. Many things can easily spread out once they are passed back.

Nowadays, foreigners are causing chaos in various border areas. Many ministers in the court have heard about it, so Jin Youzi made the proposal that Zhu Xuan should not continue to expand.

Those lands that were expanded outward are actually not that great.

Not only can they not farm, but they will also have to waste financial, human and material resources on education and assimilation, and they may even need relief from the Ming Dynasty, which will be a great waste of the Ming Dynasty's national strength.

Now, those foreigners not only refuse to obey education, but also rise up in rebellion and attack the Ming Dynasty. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

These ministers have always stood at the highest moral point and cannot tolerate such behavior.

Seeing that Zhu Xuan still wanted to expand outward and assimilate and educate those foreigners who did not obey the king's rules, it was very inappropriate. There was no need to waste the national strength of the Ming Dynasty and do such a thankless thing.

"Why do you think I can't continue to expand outward?"

Zhu Xuan looked at Jin Youzi and asked calmly.

External expansion is a major direction he set. (End of this chapter)
