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

This token of the East Palace is very delicately made and finely crafted.

But the gold paint on it was very obvious, telling them all that the token was extremely fake and could only fool the ignorant guards. The truly professional guards could tell there was a problem at a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a while and then threw it to Wen Gui to play with.

"What's going on in the turbulent places now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

He was still quite worried about this matter, fearing that Zhu Xuan would lose control and cause other problems.

"My grandson has judged from the recent telegrams that everything is stable and suppressed. It is easy for us in the Ming Dynasty to quell the rebellion. The rebels can do nothing in front of our army."

Zhu Xuan explained the contents of the telegram and added, "It's just that too many people were killed. I don't know when the news was sent back to Beijing and the officials were informed of it. They were also bothering my grandson just now."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "Those scholars who suffered from the plague are just like this. They are full of superficial benevolence and righteousness. If they are asked to truly be benevolent and righteous, how many people can do it? They are just pretending to be so that people outside think they are benevolent and righteous scholars."

Scholars only care about fame and fortune, and Old Zhu had seen through them long ago.

It’s not to say that there is nothing good about scholars.

Of course there are good scholars, but Lao Zhu doesn't believe that there can be many good people among the scholars who are officials nowadays.

Officials are inherently bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "How should my dear grandson deal with them?"

Zhu Xuan said: "My grandson brought up the smallpox incident of that year to refute their argument that killing too many people was against the harmony of nature, and they were soon speechless!"

"Good rebuttal!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly: "I don't know how many people died of smallpox back then. The damn White Lotus Sect, they took the lives of so many ordinary people for their own interests. They all deserve to die!"

Even if all those evil White Lotus members were killed, it would be justified in Lao Zhu's opinion.

The White Lotus Sect's evildoer deserves no death!

Those who have been brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect deserve to die.

"My dear grandson, you can stand on your own now."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again.

Now many things in the court are handled by Zhu Xuan alone. Only when they encounter some special things will they come to report the specific situation to him. Not only can he stand on his own, but he has also grown up!

The more I look at it now, the more it resembles his logo.

Really exactly the same.

"When Biao'er was your age, he was also able to take care of things on his own, just like you. He could help us deal with many things."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

The smile was full of relief and satisfaction.

"It's all thanks to Grandpa Huang's good teaching."

Zhu Xuan sat beside him, held his hand, and said, "My grandson was taught by Grandfather Huang, and he is also my father's son, so of course he is exactly like my father."

"Yes, exactly the same."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.

When Wen Gui saw this scene, he didn't quite understand why they suddenly felt sad, but he hugged Lao Zhu's hand and sat quietly beside them.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up Wengui and laughed, "Biaoer is already a grandfather. If he were still alive, he would be very happy to see our clever little Wengui."

Still alive...

These three words are full of sadness.

Zhu Xuan was thinking that he had never met Zhu Biao, and vice versa.

I have only seen Zhu Biao's portrait.

If Zhu Biao were still alive, whether there would be a place for a palace maiden like her in the Ming Imperial Palace is another matter. However, these are all speculations. Whether there is such a place or not is actually not a big deal.

"Grandpa, don't be sad."

Wen Gui could clearly feel that Zhu Yuanzhang was a little sad.

I just miss Zhu Biao, Empress Ma, and the real eldest grandson Xiongying.

"I'm not sad." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Okay, my dear grandson, go back to work quickly. You have helped me to supervise the country, so don't be lazy here, otherwise I will abdicate to you."

Zhu Xuan had no choice but to stand up, bowed and said, "Grandson will go down first."

"roll roll roll!"

Zhu Yuanzhang kicked Zhu Xuan and said, "You are so troublesome to perform formalities in front of me. You don't regard me as your grandfather. Get out of here."

Zhu Xuan then left with a smile and arrived outside the Qianqing Palace.

"Wengui, let's continue reading. Where were we just now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up Wen Gui and asked again.

When we get older, sometimes our memory is not as good as when we were young.

Wen Gui said, "Grandfather read that Pei Gong killed the white snake."

"Yes, yes, it's right here."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a copy of "Records of the Grand Historian" and continued reading it with Wen Gui.

-

After returning to Wenhua Pavilion, Zhu Xuan read the remaining memorials.

As for the imperial edict given to Zhu Yunhuan, it has nothing to do with Zhu Xuan.

An imperial edict could only be issued by the emperor, and Zhu Xuan was not yet the emperor, so he had to tell the matter to the officials below.

When they heard the punishment, they understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was protecting his protégé and was only punishing Zhu Yunhuan lightly. However, they did not dare to say anything unless they confronted Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

Only those who are tired of living would dare to confront Lao Zhu.

"Your Highness, there is news from Japan."

Li Xu walked in at this time.

Zhu Xuan said: "Bring it up!"

The news from Japan was soon delivered to Zhu Xuan.

I opened it and read it, and it was talking about how the Japanese royal family, after destroying the Ashikaga shogunate, carried out a thorough annihilation of the shogunate, as well as how they also wiped out all the people of the White Lotus Sect who might have existed in Japan.

Emperor Go-Komatsu also took advantage of this to constantly eliminate dissidents and kill those who were unfavorable to him. As long as he was accused of being related to Ashikaga Yoshimochi and the White Lotus Sect, he would kill them directly.

"This Emperor Go-Komatsu is quite interesting."

After reading this information, Zhu Xuan found it quite interesting.

It can be seen that Emperor Go-Komatsu's ambition is gradually expanding. He wants to control all of Japan. At the same time, he submits to the Ming Dynasty and publicly expresses his willingness to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

This message also clearly stated that Geng Xuan was asking Zhu Xuan what to do.

At the same time, Emperor Go-Komatsu arranged for Ikkyu Sojun to go out to sea, and he led the entire fleet out to sea. It was not known what he was going to do, but it seemed that he was investigating something.

"Japan, going out to sea?"

Zhu Xuan couldn't figure out what Emperor Go-Komatsu was going to do for a while, but when his ambition expanded to a certain extent, anything was possible.

Emperor Go-Komatsu was in exactly this state, and was slowly expanding.

Without the shogunate as a strong rival, the royal family would definitely want to do big things and do something very special.

Zhu Xuan could guess what Emperor Go-Komatsu was thinking.

"Keep an eye on Emperor Go-Komatsu, but don't interfere with what they do."

"If there is any problem, report it immediately."

"If Emperor Go-Komatsu wants to do something that is detrimental to our Ming Dynasty, we will kill them all first and report later."

Zhu Xuan picked up his pen to reply.

After writing these, I asked Li Xu to send them out. This is how things in Japan will stay for now.

It’s actually not a big deal!
"Should I arrange for a vassal king to go to Japan?"

Zhu Xuan thought about this question and it seemed necessary. (End of this chapter)
