Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 121 The Emperor’s Heart Technique (2)

As the crown prince educated by traditional literati and bureaucrats, Zhu Biao, the crown prince, must have somewhat disliked these royal guards.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's eyes and ears, but because of the power in his hands, it is inevitable that he will do some evil things deliberately.For Zhu Biao, using these brocade guards to monitor the world is a bit of a straight line.Because throughout the ages, few emperors have done this.

Moreover, these sons of heaven are hawks and dogs, with vicious methods and too much murderous intent.

Zhu Biao didn't like them, but as the most stable prince in history, he was not really as kind as he appeared on the surface.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can't use it, and using it doesn't mean you can't kill it in the future.

In his eyes, these courtiers are just tools.

"Father, what do you plan to do with the Jiang Xia Hou Zhou family?"

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Xiongying thought about it, and said, "The matter of opening a gambling house can be big or small. If you say it small, you will be reprimanded for several years. .Even, let everyone behind the scenes of the gambling house fall to the ground!"

Zhu Biao looked at his son and said with a smile, "If it were you, what would you do about it?"

"The state owns the state law, so it is naturally handled according to the court's law!" Zhu Xiong said in a heroic voice, "As a national hero, he has great honor, glory and wealth. He even secretly opened a gambling house to collect illegal and ill-gotten gains, which is an unforgivable crime! "

Zhu Biao still smiled, "You also said that the Zhou family is the hero who founded the country, after all, they have to give some face. Besides, many nobles in Huaixi have watched this matter. If it is not handled properly, or if it is handled seriously, yes Wouldn't it chill their hearts?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Zhu Xiongying tidy up his clothes, and said in a low voice, "Huaixi nobleman, you are the root behind us!"

"Father's words are wrong!" Zhu Xiongying laughed, "My son said something that only you and my father and son can say!"

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Say it, say it!"

"Huaixi honor is the root of our father and son." Zhu Xiongying whispered, "But our father and son, why not their source of wealth!"

"It has been nearly 20 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the rivers and rivers are at their peak. The sun and the moon are prosperous. The national power is booming. Although there are still wars at the border every year, the country is changing from martial arts to civil rule!"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he kept nodding.

The three masters of the Zhu family are not people who value literature over martial arts, and they can't do things like the former Song Dynasty's suppression of literature and martial arts, and using martial arts as human beings.

But now in Ming Dynasty, there is indeed a transformation from martial arts to martial arts.

Because of the policy of keeping the enemy out of the country, border wars have been fought for years, and there has been a war every three to five years, and warriors have a lot of say in the court.

But what is fought in war, in the final analysis, is money and food.

If you want money and food, you need cultural governance. Only when cultural governance improves can you truly have sufficient treasury and strong national power.

In the words of later generations, the economy is the last word.

Whether it's a country or a person, it's bullshit to say anything without money.

"Since the founding of our dynasty, the mighty generals have far surpassed those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the Huaixi warriors are unparalleled in the world!" Zhu Xiongying continued, "Under such illustrious martial arts, it is inevitable that the tail will not be lost!"

In an instant, the way Zhu Biao looked at his son changed.

The last sentence almost touched his heart, and it also touched the root of the old man's harshness towards the heroes over the years.

The founding noble group of Ming Dynasty is too huge, so huge that civil servants can't compete at all.

This was also a few years ago, in the case of Hu Weiyong, the old man killed tens of thousands of people.But Zhu Biao, who has always been kind, has no reason to show it.

It sounds cruel, but this is the emperor's mind.

Some things can't be decided just by looking at right or wrong.

"You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others!" Zhu Xiongying continued, "The meritorious service of the past does not represent the glory and wealth of the generations. If you say something cruel, if you don't hug our men legs, in another 30 to [-] years, after veterans and nobles wither away, where will their descendants go to find official positions and riches?"

"Furthermore, now is not the time when the emperor's grandfather ruled the world. At that time, everyone was a brother, huddling together to fight against the Tartars. Now my Zhu family is in charge of the world. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. If you blindly indulge As a result, there is no distinction between the monarch and the ministers, and it is of no benefit to the country or the people!"

"If you break the law, you will be dealt with! If you always think about their past achievements, wouldn't you be pampering them?"

"Besides, there is an old saying that fighting against Mien, promoting Mien's hatred. If they are not punished this time, they will not be punished next time. When they are punished in the future, they will still feel uncomfortable and secretly hold grudges. This is human nature!"

Zhu Biao looked at his son, lost in thought.

This is not the first time he heard this.The old man had said the same thing before.

Politics don't care about human feelings, let alone tolerate them.

Just like the case of Hu Weiyong, he was the hero of Conglong and the prime minister of Ming Dynasty with power over the government.Others see that the Zhu family got rid of Hu Weiyong in order to consolidate their power, but they can't see the other side.

The Huaixi lineage headed by Hu Weiyong is deeply rooted in the imperial court. To be an official in Ming Dynasty, after reaching a certain level, they must be Huai people.People from other places, no matter how talented they are, should be sidelined.

They defeated Liu Bowen first, and then Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang and others, and they have become an inseparable power group.

Even such a group is full of heroes who have made great contributions to the state.But it is still necessary to eradicate without leaving behind, otherwise it will be a disaster.

There is also Li Shanchang. Over the past few years, the old man and Zhu Biao have been deliberately weakening and neglecting each other.For what, everyone knows well.

"What are you thinking about in your head?" After a while, Zhu Biao smiled.

Zhu Xiongying also smiled, "It's not that I'm just thinking about it, but it's the fact!"

As he spoke, he paused, "If father wants to expand the case, he doesn't have to come forward, just watch secretly. Naturally, the emperor's temperament is not willing to be understood so hastily. He always takes the opportunity to kill a few. A domineering person!"

"If my father doesn't seem to be involved in a lot, and has the heart to protect others. Then do business, deal with the people behind that gambling house, Jiang Xia Hou Zhou Dexing returns to his hometown to retire, and dismisses all official positions. It is reasonable and justified!"

"Get out, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Zhu Xiongying took two steps back, "Let the son go away? My son obeys the order!" As he said, he turned around and ran out.

"Hey!" Zhu Biao yelled twice, and smiled wryly, "Brat, I told you to run faster than anyone else when you do your homework!"

~~~~~
"Boss is still soft-hearted?"

In Fengtian Hall, in the old man's study, looking at the secret report played by the Jinyiwei, the old man was talking to himself.

In the gambling case, one of the key culprits was the younger brother of the Crown Princess Lu.

This case involved not only nobles, but also civil servants, and it was a case that could make a big fuss.But let the prince Zhu Biao make such a move, it will inevitably be a bit thunderous and rainy.

When it comes to the younger brother of the princess, Zhu Biao, the prince, intervened because of some scruples in his heart.

Although the old man came from a low background, he was also an old-school figure who practiced filial sons under the stick.But there is one thing that many emperors throughout the ages have been unable to do.

That is the belief in the son!
Even if his son is different from him in terms of personality and administration, he will not force it.He will watch in the dark, and if his son does something wrong, he will give pointers.If the son does something right, he ignores it.

"Boss, boss, you are so soft-hearted!"

The old man put down the paperwork in his hand, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, thinking to himself.

"The more soft-hearted you are, the more powerful your father will be in killing people in the future. Otherwise, I will leave you with a lot of trouble. If you can't do it with your temper, how can you do it!"
