Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning
Chapter 5 My talent and ability are times better than his!
Chapter 5 My talent and ability are ten times better than his!
boom!
Thunder exploded again.
The deafening sound pierced the eardrums and caused a dull pain.
However, amid the deafening thunder, Lao Zhu's calm voice seemed to be more afraid of the aura of oppression.
The emperor was so angry that he lay down his body thousands of miles away!
What would it be like to face the emperor's wrath?
Zhu Yunhuan's face remained unchanged and his body remained as still as a mountain.
"That's not true!"
He shook his head slightly.
"Among Grandpa Emperor's sons, my second uncle, the Prince of Qin, and my third uncle, the Prince of Jin, both have the talent to lead troops."
"However, the two of them are too violent and tyrannical, and their moods are unpredictable. They often accuse people around them of crimes, so it is difficult for them to rule the country."
"Only my fourth uncle, the Prince of Yan, has a virtuous heart, the talent to lead troops, and the ability to rule the world."
"If Grandfather Emperor appoints him as the crown prince, he will be able to protect the Ming Dynasty."
"I also wish to be a free and easy prince, and never fight or compete again."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Zhu Chong, the Prince of Qin, Zhu Gang, the Prince of Jin, and Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, who had been standing nearby and watching the show, all changed drastically.
The three of them rushed back to attend the funeral after Zhu Biao's death.
Naturally, everyone has their own ideas in their minds.
When Zhu Biao was alive, no one thought of competing for the position of crown prince.
After all, no one can compete with Zhu Biao.
Several people are aware of this.
But now that Zhu Biao is dead, we have to fight for it.
It's just something you can think about in your heart.
But he never dared to reveal a word in front of Old Zhu.
Not to mention that he was in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
The Prince of Qin Zhu Chong and the Prince of Jin Zhu Gang were both okay.
Although his nephew accused him of having a violent and capricious temper in front of court officials, he felt a little embarrassed.
But, that's all.
At this moment, although both of them were unhappy, they were too lazy to argue.
But Prince of Yan Zhu Di could no longer stand.
You, Zhu Yunhuan, are looking for death yourself, why are you dragging me into this?
That I can inherit the throne and become emperor?
What would the emperor think when he heard this?
Zhu Di quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Father, I have no intention of competing for the throne."
"This kid Yunxun is talking nonsense. Father, please don't take it to heart!"
Zhu Yunhuan chuckled.
"I said that if you can become the emperor, you can rule the world well. I didn't say that the emperor would pass the throne to you. Fourth uncle, why are you so anxious?"
"Although Fourth Uncle is talented, he is not the eldest son."
"There are still my second and third uncles above me. It's impossible for my fourth uncle to take the throne!"
He raised his voice and said, "That is why my grandson stepped forward at the risk of his own life."
"The Spring and Autumn Annals said: The heir apparent should be chosen based on age, not virtue; the son should be chosen based on nobility, not age!"
"My grandson's mother is the Crown Princess who was married to him in a formal ceremony."
"According to etiquette, after my elder brother dies, I, your grandson, will be the eldest son."
"Although my second brother is one year older than me, he is not the legitimate son."
"Grandpa Emperor made me the Crown Prince. This is just and natural."
"However, Grandfather Emperor is worried that I am not talented enough to control the ministers and the generals."
"That's why I appointed Consort Lu as my legitimate wife and wanted to choose my second brother as the crown prince."
“But I didn’t know that this move was a big mistake.”
"My second brother's ability is not enough to govern the country."
"Second brother's prestige is not enough to convince others."
"My second brother's ability is not enough to handle government affairs."
"If Grandfather Emperor appoints my second brother as the crown prince and hands over the throne to him, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
"I cannot watch the Ming Dynasty in danger and do nothing. I have no choice but to die."
Wow!
Another flash of lightning lit up.
But no thunder was heard.
In the bright and dim vision, the air seemed to be frozen and breathing became even more difficult.
Inside the hall, everyone's heartbeat seemed to stop.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
"You said your second brother's ability, prestige, and talent are not enough, but you think you are far better than him?"
Old Zhu's voice seemed to have become much calmer.
No longer contains coercion and murderous intent.
There was no expression on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.
"Of course!" Zhu Yunhuan answered confidently. In feudal society, emperors received royal education since childhood, and many of them were outstanding.
In addition to receiving nine years of compulsory education and possessing relatively advanced scientific and cultural knowledge and ideas, there are actually very few modern people who can surpass those emperors in terms of intelligence, strategy, and ability to deal with people.
A smart person is a smart person, and that doesn't change with the times.
But Zhu Yunwen was an exception.
If we were to rank the dumbest emperors in history, Zhu Yunwen would definitely be in the top three.
Since ancient times, there have been emperors who were cruel and merciless, who were murderous by nature, who ignored the lives of the people and only cared about their own pleasure...
Because of these things, he was denounced as a "tyrant" in history books.
However, most incompetent rulers were either indulging in pleasure or were forced by the circumstances and had no choice...which does not mean that their personal abilities were poor.
Zhu Yunwen was not the kind of person who was greedy for enjoyment, but he was a stupid man without ability.
It would be a real disaster if such a person became emperor.
As a time traveler, Zhu Yunhu did not arrogantly think that he was stronger than Old Zhu, the old foxes in the court, and the capable ministers and generals.
Each of them is an extraordinary person and cannot be compared to ordinary people.
But Zhu Yunhuan was confident that he was more than ten times stronger than that loser Zhu Yunwen!
"absurd!"
Huang Zicheng jumped out again, pointed at Zhu Yunhuan and said, "What have you done to prove that your ability, prestige, and talent are far superior to the Second Emperor's grandson?"
"If my father were still alive, I wouldn't have to do anything." Zhu Yunhuan said calmly, "If it weren't for the last resort, I really don't want to bear the heavy responsibility of the country."
"So, you think you have extraordinary abilities and talents, but you just haven't had the opportunity to show them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded.
Zhu Yunhuan did not respond, which was considered as his agreement.
At this time, he couldn't deny it.
You can only take advantage of it.
"joke!"
Huang Zicheng knelt down and bowed to Old Zhu, saying, "Your Majesty, since the Third Emperor's grandson believes that he is the most talented person in the world, I am willing to give him some questions to test him, so that he will be convinced."
"allow!"
Zhu Yuanzhang responded.
Huang Zicheng was overjoyed: "I obey your order!"
He stood up and looked outside.
At this moment, heavy rain was pouring down outside.
"Your Majesty asked me to come up with a question, but in such a hurry, I cannot let the two of you compete with each other."
"If we follow common sense, we should ask about the policy of governing the country, but you are just talking about it in general terms without any practical implementation, so you can only touch upon it briefly and stop there. I am afraid it is difficult to tell who is better!"
"If you were asked to manage a department or govern a county, it would take three to five months or even several years to see your performance and whether you have the ability to govern the country."
"The position of crown prince cannot remain undecided for long."
"Instead of deciding the winner on the spot, it would be better to write poetry or prose."
“Although it is impossible to measure the ability to govern a country, it can give us a glimpse of talent.”
"We can also see whether what the Third Grandson said just now is arrogant or not!"
In Huang Zicheng's opinion, since the other party dared to stand up and compete for the position of crown prince, he must have made preparations in advance.
If you ask at this time how to govern the country and what national policies should be implemented, the other party will definitely respond fluently.
After all, these things could have been thought of long beforehand.
You can ask someone to write it down in advance and memorize it first.
He just didn't want to let the other party get what he wanted, and deliberately didn't ask about national policy, but asked about poetry instead.
Give questions on the spot and answer them on the spot.
The opponent's preparations were all in vain!
Zhu Yunwen cupped his hands and said respectfully, "It's all up to Mr. Huang!"
"Okay!" Huang Zicheng stroked his beard and nodded gently: "Today, there are strong winds, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain outside..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yunhuan interrupted and asked, "Do you want us to write poems and lyrics on the theme of autumn rainstorms?"
It is already September in autumn, and thunderstorms are actually very rare.
Huang Zicheng was startled when he heard this.
He did have that thought just now.
But looking at Zhu Yunhuan's expression, he couldn't help but change his mind. Could it be that he had also made preparations for poetry and songs?
Although this rainstorm came quickly and violently, it might have been noticed by the people in the Imperial Observatory earlier.
If the other party has prepared poems in advance, using them as questions would be exactly what he wants.
Zhu Yunwen had been well-versed in Confucian classics since childhood, and writing poetry and essays was also his forte.
It shouldn't be difficult to defeat Zhu Yunhuan.
But if the other party was well prepared and acted unintentionally, it would be hard to say.
Think about this.
Huang Zicheng quickly shook his head and changed the subject.
"No!"
