Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 15: Zhu Biao is a bit autistic

Human beings are such a combination of contradictions.

Just like many people fantasize about what they would do if they won the lottery, but when they really win the lottery.

Only then did I realize that I didn't even know how to spend this money.

This was Yang Chen’s mood at the moment.

He was just an ordinary young man in his twenties with a good-looking appearance, and he was expected to enter the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

If you engage in intrigues with those old foxes, you might not even know you are being sold out.

Go to war?

That's even more impossible. He even needs to train in advance to complete the physical examination in school, let alone ride a horse and fight.

Any of these ancient cold weapons and armor could make it difficult for him to move.

Faced with a young man like Yang Chen who didn't know what to do, Queen Ma seemed a little helpless.

But one thing the other person said made her pay attention.

That is, he has some knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty, and you can ask him if you don't know anything.

In other words, apart from the low support of princes and the low salaries of officials, there must be many mistakes in the history of the Ming Dynasty that need to be pointed out.

As long as Yang Chen points it out and they make changes in advance, will they be able to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty's 276-year reign?
Thinking of this, Queen Ma raised her lips and said in a gentle and kind tone:

"Yang Chen, I have a question for you. Yesterday you said that if the crown prince mentioned those two things to His Majesty, it would definitely lead to a big fight. Why are you so confident that His Majesty will do that?"

When Zhu Biao and Zhu Di entered the harem, the first person they met was Empress Ma, and they told her about this matter.

When Empress Ma learned of this, she was not too moved. After all, she and Zhu Yuanzhang had been husband and wife for decades.

She knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to say even when the other party was sticking out his butt.

But she didn't expect that Yang Chen, a man from the future, could guess the same as her.

The only possibility is that her husband left something shocking in history.

Therefore, later generations used this incident to infer Zhu Yuanzhang's character.

Yang Chen hummed, then answered.

"It's not that I am confident, but that is what Your Majesty did in later generations. This is clearly recorded in the History of Ming Dynasty and various history books.

Coupled with the revisions of Ming history by later dynasties, many people can infer your Majesty’s temper based on what he did.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's violent temper and unreasonableness can be said to have been passed down in the blood of the Zhu family.

Especially because of their stubbornness and self-righteousness, many good ministers ended up having their entire families exterminated because of the suspicion of the old Zhu emperors.

Even if someone managed to escape, their life would be very difficult.

Zhu Biao never expected that his father's reputation in later generations would be so bad that he even became a stereotype for others.

On the contrary, he himself couldn't figure it out. If it weren't for the argument just now, he wouldn't even be willing to believe his father's true thoughts.

Empress Ma didn't say anything about this. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had such a temper had a lot to do with the special treatment he received from Guo Zixing among the rebels.

If she had not kept lobbying between the two, the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Zixing would probably have broken down long ago.

"Hey~ Chongba's personality is like this, Biao'er, your father's impatient temper is completely different from your gentle personality.

But he still cares about you in his heart, so don't take what he said just now to heart." Queen Ma decided that she must find an opportunity to have a good talk with him and let him curb his impatience, otherwise she didn't know what troubles would arise in the future.

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I have let go of what happened just now and it will not affect my judgment."

Zhu Biao knew that his mother was sincere and thoughtful, and would not be like his father.

Looking at her son's mature appearance, Queen Ma felt a sense of accomplishment.

There is nothing more honorable than raising a benevolent and talented emperor.

She was the only empress of the founding emperor. If her son could become a prosperous emperor under her education in the future.

Then even if she has passed away, she will have done justice to the world.

I thought so.

Empress Ma suddenly became curious about her son Zhu Biao.

According to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, unless there are no accidents, the throne of the emperor will definitely belong to Zhu Biao in the future. Since Yang Chen comes from the future, doesn't it mean that he can know the prosperous times after his son ascends the throne?
After Zhu Biao had a big fight with Zhu Yuanzhang in the morning, he followed Zhu Di to find her.

Zhu Biao, who was already a father and the crown prince who had been regent for more than ten years, confided his inner depression to Empress Ma.

She was a kind-hearted woman who could sense that the Crown Prince Regent seemed to have lost some confidence due to the suppression by her husband.

It has even reached the point of self-doubt.

If the other person is not brought out of this state, it can easily cause lifelong trauma.

However, she had already comforted those who needed comfort, and now if only she could get Yang Chen to tell her what Zhu Biao had done after he came to power.

My son will not doubt himself.

Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on Queen Ma's face.

"Yang Chen, since you can guess what Chongba did, can I know what the prince will do after he ascends the throne, and whether his actions will make Ming Dynasty a prosperous dynasty?
In other words, can the prosperity he created stand out in history? "

As the voice fell, two people present became nervous.

Zhu Biao himself even held his breath, feeling a little worried and scared.

He didn't expect that his mother would actually ask Yang Chen this question.

Many answers flashed through his mind, most of which were bad, because he had just been suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang and his confidence was at its weakest.

If Yang Chen said something bad, he would probably break down on the spot.

Yang Chen frowned even more, not knowing whether he should answer this question.

When Zhu Biao saw Yang Chen's embarrassed expression, his own face turned pale.

He hesitated and said:
"Yang Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hesitate. Whether it's good or bad, I can accept these comments."

At this point, Zhu Biao made a determined expression.

With sweaty palms, he was ready to hear negative news.

He knew very well what his mother intended, but Yang Chen's hesitation now made him seem to have foreseen what was to come.

The other party said that after he ascended the throne, not only did he fail to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty, but he became a foolish and incompetent emperor who brought disaster to the country and the people.

If that time really came, he would definitely resign from his post to his mother, then run to Zhu Yuanzhang and give up his position as crown prince, allowing the two of them to find another heir from among their sons to be the crown prince.

He was already very worried, and Yang Chen's next words made him even more certain that he might really be a tyrant!
