Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 180 Zhu Yuanzhang calls Zhang Cheng great, but Zhang Cheng hopes not to kill the giant baby!

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhang Cheng said, he was so angry that he laughed instead.

then.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "In fact, we don't care whether people in the world look down on us or not. At first, we just thought about saving our family from starving to death. Later, inspired by your Mr. Zhang, we decided to Let the people of the world no longer starve to death. If we can do these two things, it doesn’t matter who thinks highly of us or not, we can just think highly of ourselves."

"In China, there has never been a soil where people can remain noble since ancient times."

"That's why the saying 'Princes, princes and generals should be content with each other'."

"Aren't the nobles of the six countries noble? They were beaten by Qin and their dignity was completely lost."

"Aren't the aristocratic families noble? Huang Chao, Zhu Wen and others will kill them if they want, and they don't mean to be polite at all."

"Aren't the nobles of the Song and Song dynasties noble? Now that Hu Yuan is here, you should kneel down or kneel down."

Zhang Cheng elaborated on his views and said: "Therefore, in this land, it is impossible to always enjoy honor and dignity. I am not worried that you will be looked down upon by the world if you rise to the top. I am only worried that you will also strive to achieve your goals." My descendants can always enjoy the dignity, and forcefully violate the objective facts that exist in this land."

"And if you want to be leisurely, you can't seek wealth, otherwise the consequences will be ruined clothes and chaos in the world."

"Too much arrogance and pampering of children and grandchildren will only accelerate defeat. We need to put a tight curse on our children and grandchildren so that they can compete and work hard like their fellow citizens in the world."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a chair, twirled his chin with his hand, and looked like he was thinking seriously.

"That's right!"

"Then, superior, please don't break this rule of respect and inferiority now. Recognize Guo Tianxu as your master and ask him to be the leader of the rebel army."

"There are countless examples like this in history. I believe the superiors themselves understand this."

"Because in this universe, there is still a place for nobles from aristocratic families who have not been lonely for thousands of years."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Why can't you support wealthy and idle people?"

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Cheng and asked:
"So, if we want our descendants to be honored in peace, we can't stay in this land, we have to go to other lands? And in this land, if our descendants want to be honored, we have to stay in this land. Do you have to be virtuous enough to do anything?”

"Just not in this land."

Zhang Cheng said.

"It's really easy to get to the top."

"You can be lazy if you want, but you can't be lazy on this land."

"In this land, there has always been a place for gentlemen, and they will be killed in five lifetimes."

"In a word, this land does not support rich and idle people."

"I want to raise it."

Zhang Cheng said.

Zhang Cheng replied.

"No, you shouldn't just recognize Guo Tianxu as your master, but recognize Hu Yuan as your master, ask for appeasement, and admit that you are now a bandit."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning and looking at Zhang Cheng and asked: "That's the truth, but why did you, Mr. Zhang, say there is no such land?"

"On this land, there are only a few companies such as the Kong family that have always been prosperous. The Kong family can be said to be expensive, but it can also be called cheap. After all, in front of people with strong soldiers and horses, he is nothing. No, you still have to kneel when you should.”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, walked to Zhang Cheng, put his hands on his hips and said:
"You are right. We cannot resist the objective facts in this land. We cannot think that our children and grandchildren can continue to be rich and prosperous without doing anything in this land, or even in order to let them do nothing. If you do this, you will always be rich. If you hold your nose and admit that you are a thief, and say that you are indeed a despicable person, even if we are willing to use the old etiquette to define noble and humble, it cannot change the fact that this land does not allow rich and idle people to exist forever. ”

"It would be great if the superiors could think like this."

"I'm worried that you really imagine that by advocating the old Neo-Confucian etiquette, you can make the world belong to the Zhu family, and the people of the Zhu family don't have to bear any responsibility."

Zhang Cheng stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him with Zhang Cheng's expression, and also stared at Zhang Cheng and said:
"If you didn't show us those books, we might really have such an illusion, but you showed us those books! So, even if we want to deceive the world and make them believe that we admire the old Neo-Confucian etiquette, It can keep my Zhu family in the world forever, but we can’t lie to ourselves!”

"We, Lao Zhu, may not be the most knowledgeable and smartest person in the world, but we must be the most practical person!"

Zhu Yuanzhang then raised his hand confidently and said with a wry smile:
"There is nothing we can do. We have been afraid of hunger since childhood, and we have also been afraid of being bullied. We are worried that if we are a little naive, we will starve and be killed!"

Zhang Cheng nodded.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in this "cannibalistic" era, and also grew up from the bottom with the worst living environment, so he would pay special attention to the actual benefits of all decisions.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng got straight to the point and said:

"If Zhang Tianyou and Guo Tianxu want to attack Jiqing, what I'm worried about is that they will be eager for quick success, which will make them easy to be exploited by traitors. Not only will they be exploited by opponents, but I am also worried that they will be exploited by you, the superior."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being startled after hearing this, his thick eyebrows slightly raised.

But not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again: "If we weren't used to your temper, Mr. Zhang, we really wouldn't want to talk to you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhang Cheng: "Can't you be a little more subtle and subtle? Do you have to be so straightforward every time?"

"I said I don't need to be tactful and reserved. Do you believe me?"

Zhang Cheng smiled and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then clasped his hands behind his back: "I believe it! A person who truly believes that the world is fair will not be afraid of anyone in the world. Even we are a little afraid of you!"

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth in shock: "Really?" "Don't believe it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"We are both afraid and respectful of you, Mr. Zhang, and a little bit hateful."

"You tell me, why do you want me to understand those principles? Why don't you let us be bad and stupid people? In this way, we may be more powerful than the current Emperor Hu Yuan in the future, and we can kill whoever we want. Whoever wants to do whatever he wants!”

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang also talked about his true views on Zhang Cheng.

Because Zhang Cheng didn't hide anything from him, he also didn't hide it from Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng said: "This is the purpose of my joining the rebels! If not, what would I do if I joined the rebels? Do I really want to be a thief and your slave, Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Cheng also raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"So, if they are really eager for quick success, Mr. Zhang, don't you want them to lose because of this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang then asked about Zhang Cheng.

"That's right! I don't want them to lose because of this, and I don't want them to lose because you intend to use Hu Yuan's hands to get rid of them."

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said sharply: "Are we this kind of person in your heart?!"

"You might not be, but it's hard for me not to think so."

Zhang Cheng replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips again, pursed his lips, and then waved:

"That's right, it's impossible for us not to think the worst about others. For example, we have also thought about whether Mr. Zhang also wants to be the emperor."

"I don't want to be emperor."

"If I want to be the emperor, I will conquer the country myself."

"I'm just worried now that if you don't tolerate them when you are in power, I'm afraid you won't tolerate me in the future."

Zhang Cheng replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled helplessly: "It's because you don't even want to be the emperor, so we respect you and fear you!"

"Everyone in the world wants to be a master, but you, Mr. Zhang, are extraordinary and change the etiquette just for the sake of the people of the world!"

"I'm not that great either."

Zhang Cheng wanted to say that he just wanted to pursue something higher because he came from a later generation, experienced a newer civilization, and didn't have to worry about not being able to go back. Even being an emperor didn't fully entice him to rebel so hard.

But Zhang Cheng didn't say much, mainly because explaining this kind of thing would take a lot of energy.

"You are great!"

"If you weren't great, there would be no great people in the world!"

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang refuted Zhang Cheng in this way, Zhang Cheng did not deny it. He just followed what Zhu Yuanzhang said and asked: "So, what do the superiors think?"

"We can even be lenient to people like Li Menggen and Zhang Mian, let alone Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou!"

"To be honest, Mr. Zhang thinks so bad of me, I'm really angry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If we want to prevent them from failing to attack Jiqing, we must show no reservations to them!"

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang thought seriously and said: "The first is to prevent them from easily believing that they can win Jiqing without participating in a fierce battle because they want to capture Jiqing but also want to make small losses; the second is to prevent them from being If you just want to capture Jiqing but accidentally get ambushed; for the former, we will tell them all the secrets we know; for the latter, as soon as they set off, we will send Shao Rong and even your Mr. Zhang to follow closely. If anything happens, We can rescue him in time, Shao Rong takes care of his adoptive father, and you, Mr. Zhang, will definitely rescue you actively considering your own fate. "

"I don't think it's too late to let them suffer a loss."

"We cannot let them know that we are keeping them safe until the last minute."

"Otherwise, they will never mature, and they will just be unwilling to be above you and me, while doing stupid things."

Zhang Cheng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but couldn't help frowning: "Why the hell does it feel like we are teaching our own children to learn how to do things. To be honest, Wen Zheng's child didn't even let us worry so much!"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing and said: "I call this kind of person a giant baby!"

"However, there are many people in this land who feel that they are the emperor's destiny, but also simply think that others should selflessly dedicate themselves to themselves."

"Either eliminate these people, or you can only try your best to let them grow."

"But eradication will not cure the root cause, so we should help them grow, for the sake of Marshal Guo."

Zhang Cheng said.
