Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

The court meeting ended.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying, the three generations of the Zhu family, did not leave immediately, but remained in the Fengtian Hall with a sense of excitement.

after all.

The Ming Dynasty ultimately achieved the unification of the world.

This is a moment to celebrate.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Ying and said excitedly, "If it weren't for Xiong Ying, there would be no prosperous Ming Dynasty today."

"U.A., we really have to thank you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this from the bottom of his heart.

Not long ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang had witnessed the tragic state of the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he knew very well that if the Ming Empire did not have Zhu Ying, the future of the Ming Dynasty would fall apart, and it might even be seized by foreign tribes.

But now.

With Zhu Ying in charge, the Ming Empire was on the right track.

The Ming Empire has now become incredibly powerful, unifying the entire world. No other country can rival it, and the whole world truly belongs to the emperor.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words of lament, Zhu Biao couldn't help but say, "Father is right. If it weren't for Xiong Ying, perhaps the fate of the Ming Dynasty in our world would have been the same as what we see in the [Late Ming World]."

"Xiongying not only saved the Ming Dynasty, but also saved my descendants." Zhu Biao, as Zhu Ying's father, also thanked Zhu Ying from the bottom of his heart.

after all.

From Zhu Biao's perspective, if it weren't for Zhu Ying, he would have certainly died of illness, and his grandson Zhu Yunwen would have been killed by Zhu Di.

Therefore, in Zhu Biao's view, the fact that he is still alive today and that his descendants are all safe is all thanks to Zhu Ying.

Of course, I should sincerely thank Zhu Ying.

to be frank.

When Zhu Ying heard Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang thank him, he was somewhat surprised. He slowly said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, "Old man, father, you two are being too polite."

"Don't forget, we're family."

"Since we're family, there's no need for such sentimental words."

As Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both showed a hint of embarrassment.

after that.

Zhu Ying then said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Actually, I am also gambling for myself. After all, if the Ming Empire becomes strong, my status will naturally rise, and I will be able to realize my greater ambitions."

"Moreover, I also long to enable the Han people to live a good life."

When Zhu Ying revealed his inner thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite pleased to hear them.

“U.A., you’re right.”

“We are already enjoying wealth and luxury, but some of our people are still suffering from the hardships of life.”

"So, what Xiong Ying said makes a lot of sense. Our Great Ming Empire must become stronger and stronger. Only when it is strong can the people of the Great Ming live a better life."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying shared the same idea: to serve the common people of the world.

As for Zhu Biao, the same was true.

Zhu Ying then slowly spoke, "Actually, besides the common people of this world, I have another wish to strive for."

"That was to revive Grandma."

To be honest, when Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately showed excitement again.

It's better to say something than to say it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite excited.

Although Emperor Zhu had many concubines, his deepest love was for Empress Ma.

After all, Empress Ma was Zhu's wife who had shared his hardships.

Empress Ma had been by Zhu Yuanzhang's side since he began conquering the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang always listened to and obeyed her words.

and so.

When Zhu Ying mentioned Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally quite excited.

even.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly, his heart pounding with excitement, and approached Zhu Ying, eagerly asking, "Xiong Ying, do you really have a way to revive my sister?"

Zhu Biao, the crown prince, was equally excited.

"Yes, Xiong Ying, if we can bring Mother back to life, it will be an extremely important thing for our whole family, and even for the whole world."

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao dreamed of bringing Empress Ma back to life.

Zhu Ying was well aware that Empress Ma was a good person in history and had saved many meritorious officials.

Deep in Zhu Ying's heart, he also longed to resurrect Empress Ma.

Zhu Ying calmly replied, "Old man, father, I know you both long for Grandma to be resurrected."

"In fact, it is not possible to do that right now."

"but."

"That's about it."

next second.

Zhu Ying took out various divine and immortal items and explained them to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying one by one: "These longevity pills, longevity fruits, and so on can all help people prolong their lifespan."

"Since it can extend lifespan, then once a certain number are accumulated, it can naturally revive the dead."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, it can be said that both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao showed relief and hope on their faces.

"Great!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately grabbed Zhu Ying's shoulder and hurriedly said, "Xiong Ying, you must help your grandmother be resurrected!"

"She...is the kindest person in the world."

"It's such a pity that he was taken away by this disease at such a young age. We are heartbroken!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face.

Simultaneously.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind also flashed back to the years he spent with Empress Ma. Without a doubt, those were his best memories.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had a choice, he would rather give up the country and the nation than not be able to revive Empress Ma.

Zhu Ying was naturally well aware of this as well.

Zhu Ying calmly said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old man, you don't need to be sad. When the time is right, I will naturally revive Grandma. And please believe me, it won't be long before this is accomplished."

Zhu Ying's words also gave Zhu Yuanzhang considerable motivation.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately exclaimed, "Good, good!"

"U.A., I'm willing to do anything to bring your grandmother back to life!"

This is absolutely Zhu Yuanzhang's true feeling.

Ever since Empress Ma's death, Zhu Yuanzhang had been constantly thinking of her. Zhu Ying comforted Zhu Yuanzhang, saying, "Old man, don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"

“Since I said I could be resurrected, then I can naturally be resurrected.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were naturally quite excited and filled with anticipation.

Afterwards, Zhu Ying had a conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

"Grandpa, Father, the Great Ming Empire has now completed the unification of the world, and the whole world has become a colony of our Great Ming."

"To be honest, such a large territory and population will be a new test for our Great Ming Dynasty."

"Different ethnic groups have different lifestyles, and in addition, there are people from some countries who live quite far away from this capital."

"How to manage these places requires knowledge."

Zhu Ying was well aware that although the Ming Dynasty had now unified the world, the real problems were only just beginning.

How to ensure peace and stability throughout the land and peaceful coexistence among all ethnic groups are all things that Zhu Ying needs to consider.

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang confidently replied, "Xiong Ying, during the recent court assembly, you instructed the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel to arrange for the dispatch of governors to various regions."

"In our view, as long as these governors have military power, they can naturally control these foreign tribes."

"If anyone dares to rebel against our Great Ming, then kill them without mercy!"

"Whoever opposes us, we'll kill them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang still decided to adopt a simple and brutal management approach, but obviously, Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, had a different opinion.

Zhu Biao quickly said, "Father, I believe that we should not start a mass killing now."

"Instead, it was to promote the culture of the Central Plains to these foreign peoples."

"At the same time, we should also provide these foreign tribes with a certain degree of technological assistance."

"As long as these foreign peoples can live in peace and prosperity, they will naturally not rebel against the Ming Dynasty."

As a benevolent ruler, Zhu Biao still hoped to implement benevolent policies and use them to influence these foreign tribes.

It can be said.

Zhu Yuanzhang's views and Zhu Biao's views were almost diametrically opposed.

At this time.

Zhu Ying, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke his mind.

“My lord, my father, I believe that we should both send a governor to suppress the rebellion and implement benevolent policies.”

"Only by taking a two-pronged approach can our Ming Dynasty achieve lasting peace and stability!"

To be fair, Zhu Ying's ideas were more meticulous than those of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

In Zhu Ying's view, most of the foreign tribes were just ordinary people, and as ordinary people, they only wanted to live their own lives well and didn't care who the master of the world was.

and so.

When dealing with these foreign tribes, the Ming Empire naturally needed to implement benevolent policies. In addition, it also needed to send governors-general, and these governors-general had to have military power.

If anyone plots to restore the monarchy, the governor can swiftly eliminate and suppress them.

Only in this way.

Only then could the Ming Empire achieve long-term stability and peace in terms of governance.

When Zhu Ying told Zhu Yuanzhang about his idea, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty naturally gave his full support.

"Xiongying's explanation was more detailed."

“Then let’s do as Xiong’ai says. We should suppress these foreign tribes with force, but at the same time, we should also implement benevolent policies.”

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying, and Zhu Biao discussed some matters concerning the governance of the country.

At last.

Zhu Yingze then slowly addressed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, saying, "Father, now the Ming Dynasty has completed the unification of the country and has also established governance policies."

"After that, there was basically nothing important."

"In that case, I will also need to go into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate."

For Zhu Ying, these past two years, especially this year, have been extremely busy. He not only had to handle various military affairs, but also came to this "late Ming Dynasty world" with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

In this "late Ming Dynasty world," Zhu Ying was constantly fighting battles and helping Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) clean up his messes, so he had absolutely no time to cultivate.

And now.

The situation in the late Ming Dynasty world has been resolved, and the main world has been unified. It's time for Zhu Ying to begin his cultivation.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first to Zhu Ying, saying, "Xiong Ying, during this time, you should focus on your secluded cultivation. As for matters of state, we will handle them personally."

"Don't worry, we will definitely implement the national policy you have formulated."

"Besides, Biao'er is helping us, so you can just focus on your seclusion."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao chimed in, "Yes, Xiong Ying, only when your strength is great can our Ming Dynasty endure! You are extremely important to our Ming Dynasty."

After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao say this, Zhu Ying nodded slightly and said, "Grandpa, Father, Xiong Ying will help you two improve your cultivation level after this closed-door cultivation ends."

"Now, the Ming Dynasty's national fortune has reached its peak. After unifying the world, the power of the national fortune will naturally increase. As long as you integrate the national fortune with your realm."

“Naturally, the cultivation levels of both of you will also improve.”

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao naturally felt a deep longing for it.

To know.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are already at a very high level. If they could take another step forward, it would greatly enhance their strength.

"Great, U.A., we're really looking forward to it!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but exclaim, "If this could truly elevate my cultivation level, it would be a double blessing!"

Afterwards, Zhu Ying couldn't wait to return to the Crown Prince's residence.

After Zhu Ying left, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Biao and said:
"It seems that if things continue like this, our Ming Dynasty will definitely not follow in the footsteps of Zhu Youjian."

"In the end, it's because this fourth brother was too impulsive!"

Zhu Biao, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in, "Indeed, Fourth Brother actually seized power under the guise of 'purging the court of corrupt officials,' going against Father's wishes. It's truly unacceptable."

"Perhaps... if my fourth brother hadn't rebelled, the fate of the Ming Dynasty would have been different."

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had already heard of Zhu Di's deeds during the late Ming Dynasty.

"That unfilial son is still locked up in the Imperial Clan Court!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly let out a long sigh and said with emotion, "Now that we have learned from the past, we will certainly not give this fourth son another chance to rebel!"

"Immediately send people to keep a close watch on the Imperial Clan Court. From now on, absolutely no one shall be allowed to get close to the Fourth Prince!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Our Great Ming Dynasty must last for thousands of generations!"

"However, as long as we survive, it seems there's no need to spread the word."
