Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 323 323 The fourth brother’s bloodline is the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

After hearing what his son said, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little worried that his son was too "merciful"!
Who says that people who are in the same group with you won’t harm you?

Sima Yi was a veteran minister of Cao Wei for four dynasties!
Didn't it end up being a rebellious act?
As the Son of Heaven, one must not only guard against external enemies, but also against one's own people.

In particular, the enemies within are more terrifying than the enemies outside. You never know when they will stab you unexpectedly and send you to the point of death.

Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang easily change his chef over the years?

He felt that although Xu Xingzu's food tasted average, he was loyal, and he didn't feel safe letting others eat it.

The imperial physician, the cook, and the servants around you are all likely to give you poison or something like that.

There is no need to use strong poison. If you are given a chronic poison every day, your body will not be able to bear it.

Not to mention that you are thinking about doing great things after becoming emperor.

"Where did Wei Zhongxian's power come from?"

"It comes from Emperor Tianqi."

Faced with his father's question, Zhu Biao answered naturally.

"As the saying goes, a new emperor chooses his own ministers. After Tianqi's death, will Wei Zhongxian be able to continue to run rampant around the next emperor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang tapped the back of his son's hand patiently:
"Biao'er, don't think that ministers dare not plot against the emperor. Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who died at the hands of small people. You must remember this and not get too close to them.

The emperor must be dignified and have a distance. Only in this way can people be in awe of him! "

Some of these truths were what Zhu Yuanzhang saw from Jiajing, not what he realized personally.

really.

Emperor Tianqi died at the age of 22, and all his children died young.

After his brother succeeded to the throne, Zhu Youjian ascended to the throne and became the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with the reign title Chongzhen.

In fact, Zhu Biao had just seen Wanli's son Zhu Changluo.

He felt somewhat confused, as this was not the naming method of his lineage.

Although Zhu Biao could not remember the twenty words for all his brothers' offspring, he did remember those for his younger brothers.

Now that he saw Zhu Youjian ascend the throne, Zhu Biao was even more certain that he was a descendant of the fourth brother's lineage.

Just now Zhu Biao was speculating whether Jiajing, a vassal king, would take the throne and the small clan would become the emperor.

Zhu Biao had never expected that he would have no offspring.

But he was the only son of Zhengde's previous generation, and there were no sons by the time of Zhengde. This forced Zhu Biao to believe that such a thing would happen.

In addition, all of Tianqi's descendants died young.

This also explains why Beijing became the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

So before Zhu Biao asked, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed it out immediately:
"Biao'er, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the descendant of the fourth son."

"Then?" Zhu Biao pointed at himself: "Should my son be happy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to reply, so he just said:

"I just realized that, let alone how the Ming Dynasty will be controlled a hundred years from now, even if I die, the Ming Dynasty may not continue to develop according to my vision."

Zhu Biao was chewing on these words.

Could it be that after my father saw that I inherited the throne, he reformed some of his policies?

Is that why they waited until today to take the opportunity to point out that the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty was the descendant of the fourth prince?
Let me follow the ancestral rules and not be like later generations who completely threw them behind.

The conversation started, and Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to open up to his son:

"When I was begging for food, I also dreamed of becoming an emperor. I thought that I would eat meat pies every day after becoming an emperor. Who would have thought that it would come true?

Now that it has come to this, I don’t want to eat only meat patties every day.

Tell me, how can I not be proud of your father?

Our Zhu Chongba is not only famous in this life, he did not die in obscurity like a weed. All his descendants must remember your father's name!

But after I became the emperor, I found that there were too many things to consider.

Your father and I had a hard time conquering the world, and we wanted to pass down this family business from generation to generation, but things don’t always go as planned.”

"Dad, it's safest to do well in the present."

"That's true, but as the founder of a dynasty, we still need to take a long-term view."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the scene before him.

In fact, after he saw the demise of the Ming Dynasty, he was able to look at many things with more calmness.

Even after returning, I will still be angry about the outrageous actions of my descendants.

But at least he won't be as irritable and capricious as he was at the beginning.

As the father and son were talking, there was actually no need to watch what happened next, as Wei Zhongxian was bound to have a bad ending.

Tianqi did not like to deal with state affairs, so Wei Zhongxian came out as his agent, but the new emperor Zhu Youjian did not need an agent, so he had to go to war.

Although Wei Zhongxian was ruthless, he did not have any political sense at all.

Before Tianqi's death, many members of the eunuch party began to cut ties with Wei Zhongxian in order to prevent future liquidation.

"Oh, Chongzhen did have some tricks when he first came to power."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and did not take any immediate action against Wei Zhongxian, as Wei Zhongxian was also on guard.

Instead, Chongzhen observed for more than a month before signaling his ministers to start overthrowing Wei. He never lacked ministers with a keen political sense.

Zhu Youjian went from being ignorant at the beginning, to being panic-stricken, to having a self-awareness of the imperial power, to building up his confidence, and finally to executing Wei Zhongxian and his eunuch party, all without any delay.

"This is all thanks to my father's methods. In order to consolidate the throne, the system prevented the emergence of people like Sima Yi."

Zhu Biao looked at Chongzhen's actions. In fact, as long as he ascended the throne, even though he was only seventeen years old, he would still be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the words he spoke would give him supreme power.

What is a eunuch?
Emperor Chongzhen publicly expressed his concern for the families of those who were killed or executed when Wei Zhongxian abused his power.

Many people were given gifts as loyal subjects.

Their surviving relatives received gifts from the court and were given official positions.

It seemed inevitable that the remaining Donglin group and their supporters would be able to dominate government affairs as they had done in the early years of the Tianqi reign.

But although Chongzhen was young, he had seen enough of the politics of the Wanli and Tianqi dynasties, and tried hard to ensure that his court was not controlled by any faction.

The eunuch party has fallen. Even though I have cleared the name of your Donglin Party, you still can't even think of entering my court to continue your party struggles.

"It's interesting."

Zhu Yuanzhang was just about to comment on the methods used by Chongzhen when he first ascended the throne when he saw Wang Buli climbing the cliff with his bare hands without even a rope.

Although Zhu Biao had experienced exciting scenes before, he still felt a little dizzy when he looked down at the void under his feet.

"Wang Buli is a bit too bold."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that in the fairyland, they could not stay too far away from Wang Buli.

Even though he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he is not very good at climbing high without obstacles.

But it was better than my son's condition. The cliff was too steep.

"father."

Zhu Biao wanted to hold on to something, but there was nothing around him, so he could only sit down and try to slow down his heartbeat.

"This kid is so brave, how dare he do that!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son who was somewhat frightened, and didn't understand why Wang Buli liked to engage in such a dangerous activity.

Is this something an ordinary person could come up with?

Could it be that his strong body was developed through this kind of training?

Seeing Wang Buli climb up the cliff exhausted and hanging there with one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

With a surge of adrenaline, Wang Buli finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

"Dad, this kid is an adventurous person at heart."

Zhu Biao sat aside with lingering fear: "If we let him go out to sea, I'm afraid he will become a pirate and live a carefree life."

"I know."

In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang reached this point today, he had some doubts in his heart. Was Wang Buli training himself so madly in order to find treasure?
Since the immortals can create such a big fairyland, what if there are other fairylands?
Wang Buli knew the news, but he had to practice the technique of climbing cliffs with bare hands, as some keys or something like that were placed in a dangerous place.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a position to ask about this.

Then the father and son rushed back from the fairyland.

"Dad, do you want to talk to the fourth brother about this?"

"Can we tell him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that his eldest son would actually take the initiative to talk about this matter. Deep down in his heart, he didn't want the two brothers to kill each other at all.

"Why not? From now on, I will give the fourth son an internal textbook on emperor education, so that this branch of their family will not be weak and sickly, and the children born will die early, resulting in the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty not receiving much emperor education."

"The fourth one is still young now."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and finally said: "If we tell him, it will be easy for Wang Buli to trick him into telling us something, or he won't be able to hide it from the girl from the Xu family at all. It's not appropriate."

Zhu Biao did not tell Crown Princess Chang about this matter.

Chang's mind is now all on her eldest son Xiongying, and her concern for Zhu Biao has obviously dropped to a lower level.

In particular, Lu also gave birth to a son.

Even though Zhu Xiongying was the legitimate son and grandson, his father had not yet succeeded to the throne. As the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he also needed special care.

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry as there was still a lot of time.

"Dad, do you think we are seeing a changed Daming or an unchanged Daming?"

"Hard to say."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also wondering whether the small changes he made had actually changed the future of the Ming Dynasty!
Many details cannot be seen in the fairyland, and in Zhu Yuanzhang's view they are just some things with a greater impact.

So now Zhu Yuanzhang has never been sure whether what he did has changed the original history!
"So when are we going to confront Wang Buli?"

Zhu Biao had too many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but he never figured out whether Wang Buli knew about the future of the Ming Dynasty.

So now it seems very tangled.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "It's still too early. It's better to observe for a while than to act rashly.

If Wang Buli forcibly conceals his ability to enter the fairyland in order to prove that he does not know the future of the Ming Dynasty, then we will have no way to force him to do such a thing.

And when that time comes, do you dare to bet that he doesn't know how to damage Wonderland and trap us there forever?"

Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly widened.

He really hadn't thought about this question.

Zhu Biao was always thinking from his own perspective and never considered Wang Buli's perspective.

Once the matter is leaked, God knows how Wang Buli will deal with it.

Not to mention Zhu Biao, even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to gamble!

So when Wang Buli sometimes didn't go to work and hid in the princess's mansion to relax, he just turned a blind eye and didn't force him too much.

In particular, Wang Buli was not idle. At least when it came to giving advice and getting work done, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with him.

Not to mention the added benefits.

"After the fourth brother and your sister have children, and everyone becomes more stable, we can try to talk again."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and smiled: "Anyway, your father still has a long life ahead of him, so don't worry, Prince. I can at least help you survive for another ten years."

"Dad." Zhu Biao was touched by his father's words and quickly advised: "From today on, you should review fewer memorials and let me do it. I can take a rest and help my son for another five years."

"When you have been the crown prince for a long time, you should be wondering why this old man is still alive and when I, the crown prince, can ascend the throne!"

"father."

Zhu Biao quickly knelt down to apologize to his father. As a son, he really would not think like that.

Even if his father lives to be a hundred years old, it would be fine for him to be the crown prince for eighty years.

"Get up quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Biao up and patted his son on the shoulder:

"You should also take good care of yourself and don't die before your father, otherwise you won't be able to inherit anything!"

Zhu Biao just chuckled a few times and didn't say anything.

He is so young and in good health, of course he is confident that he can live longer than his father!

When Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, he sighed slightly, then walked to the throne and sat down to continue reviewing memorials.

Zhu Biao also returned to his seat nearby and began to frantically record what he saw and heard in the fairyland.

In this way, we can take it out and look at it from time to time, and try to correct the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao was writing furiously while Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials.

It was not until Empress Ma brought dinner that Zhu Biao put down his writing and ate with them.

Empress Ma listened to Zhu Biao saying with a smile that his descendants did not become the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but the fourth son's offspring did.

Zhu Yuanzhang told his son to shut up and not to always talk about these things to make his mother angry.

Empress Ma rarely asked any further questions, as she knew that Chongba had not told Biao'er the truth.

"Don't be so childish. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty won't be yours in the future?"

Empress Ma picked up some food for her son and said, "Just learn how to govern a country from your father. I will take care of the rest for you.

You have a lot of brothers around you, not to mention so many civil and military officials who support you to be the emperor."

"Dad, Mom, I know what you mean." Zhu Biao nodded heavily:

"I have everything going for me, so I've been thinking about how to make the Ming Dynasty even more powerful!"
