When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 12: It was not difficult to reduce the power of the feudal lords, so why did the country still disappear?

"I never thought that the trial of Hu Weiyong, whom we are trying now, would last for ten years."

Zhu Ming asked curiously, "By the way, can I go to court to see how you dealt with Hu Weiyong?"

Old Zhu looked Zhu Ming up and down and said, "You kid still want to go to court? With the time you get up, by the time you leave, we will all be gone!"

"Then set a few more alarms to wake up early. At worst, I can just catch up on some sleep during court!"

"What? You still want to sleep in court!" Old Zhu suddenly became angry!

"Don't worry, I'll sit in the back seat and won't affect others!"

"Let's talk about the court session first. First, tell us how Yunwen performed as the emperor. He must be good to be chosen by us. Old Zhu's vision has never been wrong!" Old Zhu was full of expectations!

This mysterious self-confidence almost made Zhu Ming unable to handle it!
"Old Zhu, let's call the doctor first, otherwise I'm afraid you will faint!"

Old Zhu was stunned and asked angrily: "Boy, what do you mean by this? Could it be that our grandson is a hedonistic and tyrant ruler?"

"Seeking pleasure? How is that possible? I am very hardworking!"

Old Zhu's expression relaxed and he nodded with satisfaction: "The emperor is diligent in his work, just like us. Even if he is bad, he can't be that bad! Doctor Hua, you go down first!"

The imperial physician just arrived.

Full of confusion!

So you are teasing me.

Should I add some laxative when boiling the medicine?

"Then I will take my leave now!"

"Now that you're here, don't go back yet. I think it will be your turn to show off your skills soon!"

Doctor Hua looked at Old Zhu in confusion.

Very curious about Zhu Ming!

I saw this Fanbang yesterday.

However, Doctor Hua knew very well that as a doctor working under Old Zhu, he was not allowed to ask about irrelevant matters!
It’s best to know nothing!
"Okay, just wait here!"

Zhu Ming sighed: "It is a good thing that the emperor is diligent in his work. If some appropriate policies are formulated and implemented, the country's strength will surely continue to develop. But if there are mistakes in the policies, the harder you work, the more you fail!"

"Emperor Jianwen is just like that, he keeps going further and further down the forked road!"

"Old Zhu, you start with a bowl and end with a country!"

"Zhu Yunwen was the opposite. He started with a kingdom and ended up begging for food!"

Old Zhu was stunned: "What? The ending is to beg for food!"

"How did Zhu Yunwen become the emperor?"

"Of course we worked very hard. The harder we worked, the faster it would be over. In just four years, a country was gone!"

Old Zhu was shocked: "Four years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something: "No, didn't you say that our Ming Dynasty has a history of nearly 300 years? By this calculation, it's only more than 30 years. You must be lying to me, right!"

"I'm trying to trick you into giving me money!"

"Since the Ming Dynasty is still continuing, it means that after Zhu Yunwen, someone from the Zhu family will become the emperor!"

"Of course, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have been gone in just thirty years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

My mind is racing!

After four years, Zhu Yunwen did not die but had to beg for food. He must have been driven away.

The Ming Dynasty was still continuing, that is, after Zhu Yunwen, someone from the Zhu family would still be the emperor.

It is definitely impossible to voluntarily abdicate and let others take over.

That means someone is rebelling!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the only ones who had the ability to rebel were his own sons!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became very gloomy!

"You bastard, which son of ours is this that dares to rebel?"

"Actually, you can't blame them. It's mainly because of what Zhu Yunwen did that he didn't give your sons a chance to survive. Either die or rebel. What a simple choice!"

"Tell us clearly what Zhu Yunwen did to make our son rebel against our orders!" "Reduce the power of the vassal!"

Old Zhu was stunned and slammed the table in anger: "Cut down the fiefdom, he actually cut down our son's fiefdom, can't he tolerate his own uncles? They are all his real uncles!"

Zhu Ming: "Uncle? Compared to the throne, uncle is nothing! Li Shimin, the uncle, didn't hesitate at all when it came to chopping off his nephew!"

"Let our son guard the border to protect Zhu Yunwen and our Ming Dynasty!"

"I guess Zhu Yunwen should feel safe when he sees his uncles are strong and powerful. He should look in the mirror when he has nothing to do and see who is going to chop off his head!"

"Those are his uncles!"

"Old Zhu, if the Ming Dynasty was surrounded by your uncle who had powerful soldiers and horses, what would you do?"

Old Zhu was stunned and lowered his head to think for a moment.

His expression was a little sad: "Alas, I guess we will cut them down too!"

"Zhu Yunwen thought so too!"

"When you are in power, you don't have to worry about these princes!"

"As long as you are in power, no one will dare to attack, nor will they have any ideas."

"Even if you want to be an emperor, you can only satisfy your desire to be an emperor in your heart!"

"Unfortunately, can Zhu Yunwen intimidate his uncles?"

"Especially those uncles are good at fighting and have soldiers and horses!"

"Besides, when Zhu Yunwen was a child, these uncles bullied him!"

"When Zhu Yunwen saw them, he couldn't help but touch their necks."

"So, two or three months after you, Old Zhu, passed away, Zhu Yunwen began to reduce the power of the vassal states!"

"Judging from the speed, Zhu Yunwen probably had this idea before you died!"

"It has only been a short time since he ascended the throne, and he is already in a hurry to reduce the power of the vassal states!"

Old Zhu frowned and said, "So fast, you are really courageous! If it were us, it would probably take a while!"

"However, if that is the case, why not wait until the seventh day and summon all the princes to the capital, and then capture them directly. That would be much easier!"

“No need to fight, and no need to spend money!”

Zhu Ming was stunned: "Are you sure you won't get so angry that you pretend to be dead? You have to have some reputation at least!"

"What's the point of reputation? Li Shimin is doing a good job!"

"However, since we're starting a few months later, let's cut down the second and third brothers first! They're both good at fighting!"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "Old Zhu, you forgot that the second and third brothers were already gone by then!"

"Forehead"

Old Zhu couldn't help but glare at Zhu Ming, remembering that he was the one who sent the second and third sons away.

Really don't bother.

As for their son, he probably doesn't have that kind of prestige!

"Then let's go with the fourth one. He's the most like us and the biggest threat. If we subdue the fourth one, the rest won't be able to cause much trouble!"

Old Zhu has already put himself into the role of Zhu Yunwen.

Analyze the current situation.

Strong first, then weak!

Subdue the strongest ones, and as for the rest, I guess just an imperial edict will make them obey orders obediently!
From this perspective, it should not be difficult to reduce the power of the feudal lords.

After all, he had just died not long ago.

Those princes are definitely not prepared!
Old Zhu was confident that while he was in power, no one would dare to have any extra thoughts!

"According to our assumption, we will definitely leave enough troops for Zhu Yunwen. With strong troops and horses, it shouldn't be difficult to reduce the power of the vassal states, right?"

Lao Zhu is a little strange.

If I were Zhu Yunwen, even if a few more uncles came, they would not be enough for me to take care of!
