Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 266 Presents "Records of the Ming Dynasty" to Lao Zhu and asks why there are no true records of Zhu Biao

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, sighed helplessly, turned around with Zhang Cheng on his back, put his hands on his hips and said, "You still don't believe us!"

"Chongpachi!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang starting to gnash his teeth, Ma couldn't help but pull Zhu Yuanzhang's arm, called him in a low voice, and shook his head at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang threw Ma's hand away angrily, and then looked at Zhang Cheng:
"That being the case, I won't hide it from you. We have plans to centralize power, and we want Datong Society to have the final say alone."

"Because now we are increasingly dissatisfied that you, Mr. Zhang, are too kind to others and too soft-spoken in your actions!"

"Just to gain a good reputation, you indulged those people below you and held a big banquet to marry your wife. You approved it and were even willing to be invited to attend. You didn't ask or care about accepting gifts or women, just because Are you afraid that others will hate you?”

"In short, you only care about making a good reputation for yourself and letting everyone praise you. It's just that your reputation is better than ours. But because your reputation is better than ours, we don't dare to treat our bad things. The old brothers from Xigu have fallen out, so we have long wanted to replace you as the chief minister of the cabinet! "

"I can tell, so I have to leave."

"Besides, I also said that I am not a great man. I am really afraid of death and of offending others."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, as if he still didn't want to believe Zhang Cheng's words, so he waved his hand just like Zhang Cheng waved just now:

"The key is that, just like the two Song dynasties, foreigners took over the country later on, and the Han people still became the lowest social status people."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested and looked back at Zhang Cheng: "What book?"

"The people are basically still in dire straits, but the territory is not as good as that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, let alone Hu Yuan. The country of Zuo is not very long, still less than three hundred years, which is less than that of the Tang Dynasty."

"Know!"

But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma were not so shocked.

"But it's not that bad, it's just that the trail behind it isn't that good."

"You can take a closer look when you are free. It will help you achieve great harmony."

"But it's not as early as now, and it's not as good as now."

"Wait a minute, this set of books is a bit heavy."

"Whether you, Mr. Zhang, are a great man or an ordinary person, that is not important now. What is important is, why do you suddenly appear again?"

After Zhang Cheng said this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the "Records of the Ming Dynasty" in front of him with curiosity, and asked: "So, in the Yuan Dynasty without you, Mr. Zhang, we still succeeded in rebelling and established a new dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang only told Ma: "Don't tell outsiders about Mr. Zhang's sudden appearance and disappearance."

"I'm here to bring you a book."

Zhang Cheng said and disappeared.

Zhang Cheng appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang after a while, and brought a stack of "Records of the Ming Dynasty" and placed them on the table in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is the set of books."

Zhang Cheng replied.

"Yes."

"This book is the historical material of the new dynasty you established in a world without me."

Zhang Cheng replied at this time.

After Zhang Cheng said this, he patted the "Records of the Ming Dynasty" in front of him: "Anyway, take a good look at it. I haven't finished moving it. I will move it for you after you read the records of the previous emperors."

But Zhu Yuanzhang was already shocked by Zhang Cheng's words of "died by foreigners" and asked: "Why did the country we conquered eventually be taken over by foreigners, just like the two Song Dynasties!"

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Even without your suggestion, Mr. Zhang, would we be able to analyze the reasons for the fall of the Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "You will know when the time comes. You will know why we finally reached this point. You have to analyze it based on the sacred books I gave you before, and then you will understand the reason. ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through the emperor's records in front of him and suddenly asked:
"Why isn't there Biao'er?" Zhu Yuanzhang obviously wanted to know how he, Biao'er, was doing as emperor.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, he suddenly realized a serious problem, so he asked very seriously: "Mr. Zhang, why is there no record of our Biao'er?"

"Did we change the prince midway?"

"Is there still someone imitating Tang Taizong?"

"It can't be."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to tell the third situation.

Ma also looked nervous.

Zhang Cheng said solemnly: "You guessed it right, Zhu Biao left the position earlier than you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Ma shook his head a few times.

The couple is absolutely unwilling to accept this situation.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Cheng in a deep voice:

"According to this record, why did Biaoer leave so early?"

"The reason for the actual record is that he caught a cold on his way back to Beijing after conducting inspections outside."

"There is a conspiracy theory among the people that because the bureaucrats could not bear to be ruled by such an outstanding and prestigious prince after the end of Zhu Yuanzhang's thirty-one-year reign, they did not let Zhu Biao become the Instead of becoming the emperor, let someone who is easier to control become the emperor.”

"It's just that maybe they underestimated how ferocious you would be after losing your beloved son. It's also possible that you deliberately made them regret it, so you killed more people after Zhu Biao was gone."

"Of course, this is just a guess."

"But even according to official history, it shows how important it is to strengthen technological innovation and pay attention to medical development."

"If medicine and engineering are still regarded as the last skills, and top-notch talents are allowed to sink into Confucianism, Taoism and officialdom, then the situation will still exist where a person's life can be ended by diseases such as wind and cold."

Zhang Cheng spoke.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Cheng: "Is that why you, Mr. Zhang, always attach great importance to the research and development of various kinds of knowledge?"

Zhang Cheng nodded.

Ma smiled and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Zhang took out antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicines. Over the years, people around me who have suffered from colds have been saved by you. I think Biao'er will no longer be afraid of colds. "

"But what if your son doesn't just get colds in his life?"

"In any case, the development of sciences such as medicine and engineering cannot be ignored."

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as he spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then looked at Zhang Cheng and asked: "Why are the kingdoms we have conquered also accepted by foreign races? Can Mr. Zhang briefly explain the reasons?"

"Because the new dynasty you established doesn't treat the people as human beings!"

Zhang Cheng replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned cold.

Zhang Cheng continued: "So there will be large-scale refugee rebellions, which will give foreign captives the opportunity to sneak in. In fact, the refugee problem has been very serious in the more than two hundred years of the dynasty you established. The military Households fled, households fled. These phenomena began to exist when you became emperor. Just over a hundred years later, half of the standing army fled, and hundreds of thousands of refugees appeared. "

"How can it be!"

"We are from commoner backgrounds. Even if we don't have the guidance of Mr. Zhang, we still don't treat the common people as human beings!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his right fist and smashed it on the desk. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Cheng, unwilling to believe what Zhang Cheng said.
