Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

The imperial study room was very quiet. ♦ ˆ ♦ s⃣ ˆ h⃣ ˆ u⃣ ˆ x⃣ .⃣ ˆ c⃣ ˆ o⃣ ˆ m⃣

Mao Xiang quietly raised his head, peeked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then his eyes fell on Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Biao's face full of urgency, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ventriloquism said: Regardless of whether the prince can figure out a way to deal with it or not, this level has been passed!

As an eagle dog.

He knows the emperor too well.

This is indeed a test question.

Test the prince's ability to change.

At the same time, it is also testing the prince's brotherly love for King Yan!

The emperor wanted to confirm whether the prince's psychology changed after King Yan called out to fight for the heir.

If there is, maybe it will reveal its flaws in this matter!

But the prince is so urgent, it doesn’t look like he’s cheating at all!

At this moment, Mao Xiang suddenly noticed a sharp look falling on him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly breaking into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze retracted and shifted to Zhu Biao. The corners of his lips rose imperceptibly and he nodded with satisfaction.

'Biao'er hasn't changed. Even if the fourth son calls out to fight for the heir apparent, he still cares about the fourth son as before. We can rest assured that the country is in Biao'er's hands! ’

"Father..." Zhu Biao suddenly raised his head and interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's train of thought. He blushed slightly and hesitated: "I don't understand the green-skinned bastard..."

Ha ha……

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood and laughed heartily: "That's right. In this matter, the green-skinned bastards are very important. If you don't understand the characteristics of this group, you really can't make a decision."

"Father, I can give you some tips."

"The green-skinned bastards in the countryside are idle and lazy, but they are bolder and more greedy than ordinary people. They have a little cleverness but no great wisdom."

"He is ruthless in doing things and will do anything to achieve his goals, but he is short-sighted, irritable and impulsive, and lacks tolerance and patience."

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously understands the green-skinned bastard better than Zhu Di.

"Thank you, Father, for your advice." Zhu Biao smiled and bowed before starting to think seriously again.

After a moment, he said with a confident smile: "Father, are you right to keep your word?"

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You have no joke!"

"My son has already thought of a way." Zhu Biao said with a confident smile: "First of all, we must distinguish ordinary villagers from green-skinned bastards."

"Didn't the green-skinned bastard want to incite the villagers to target the fourth brother, take the opportunity to persecute the fourth brother, and create a situation where the law does not punish the public?"

"Then let's stabilize the villagers first, and my fourth brother can take advantage of the villagers!"

"Temporarily stabilize the villagers."

"After ruining the plan of the green-skinned bastard, these people will definitely be angered."

"They also have the disadvantage of being less forbearing and less patient."

"As expected, the green-skinned bastards on the river bank will join forces and use poisoning, sneak attacks, etc. to deal with the fourth brother."

"Fourth brother only needs to be on guard, wait for these people to come to our door, use force to teach them how to behave, and establish their authority on the river embankment construction site!"

"In this way, we can solve it once and for all!"

This method is almost the same as Zhu Di's method. new

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Zhu Di had already planned to do this last night.

Nodding with satisfaction, he asked again: "Is there any other way?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Biao shook his head and honestly admitted that he could not think of any other way.

"Father, I will teach you another move!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up as he spoke, walked out, walked to the center of the hall, and said with a cold expression: "This move is sinister and sinister. In the process of governing the country, do not use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Once the people cannot be comforted and stabilized."

"Then make an alliance with the green-skinned bastard immediately!"

"Promise these green-skinned bastards a small profit, and they can become a knife in our hands!"

"With the help of green-skinned bastards who dare to fight and charge, and use all possible cruelties to help us suppress and shock the place."

Zhu Biao's expression had already changed drastically.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him in disbelief.

"Father, we are the imperial court and should represent justice. How can we form an alliance with a green-skinned bastard!" Zhu Biao muttered in retort.

The whole person felt a little lost.

This content had a huge impact on him.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and asked coldly: "Think about it carefully, what is the difference between those gentry officials and green-skinned bastards!"

"It's just a little more cultural knowledge."

"It's just the high-sounding benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom that we talk about."

"Other than these, what's the difference between what they do and what the green-skinned bastards do!"

"When we look at history, we see that at the end of each dynasty, the emperors would all turn to the gentry and officials, using these green-skinned bastards to suppress the local areas and maintain their rule!"

"Without exception!"

After patting Zhu Biao who was completely distracted, Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the Imperial Case and said as he walked: "Being an emperor must be cruel!"

"If the imperial power and life cannot be saved, how can we talk about justice?"

"Maintain the imperial power, maintain the country, the country, and the country, and slowly restore vitality."

"After the ZTE, kill these green-skinned bastards on the grounds of corruption and lawlessness. At most, they will issue a self-incriminating edict. The people will naturally turn their hearts to the imperial court again!"

Zhu Biao raised his head and retorted: "But Father, does a country that continues to exist like this still have legitimacy?"

Ha ha……

Instead of being angry, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and laughed.

After a long time, the laughter subsided.

Holding the table with both hands, he leaned forward slightly, like a tiger crouching, staring at Zhu Biao with eager eyes, "Biao'er, my father wants to ask you."

"When a dynasty faces collapse, there are two outcomes. One is naturally to change the dynasty, and the other is to use the father's unjust and cruel methods to survive the crisis, avoid the change of dynasty, and achieve the resurgence of the dynasty."

"Tell me, which one will cause the most harm to the people?"

Zhu Biao's lips moved, wanting to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

It must be a change of dynasty, and the people will be harmed the most and die the most.

He was born before the fall of the Yuan Dynasty and witnessed with his own eyes that during the war, people were displaced, their wives and children were separated, the roads were full of hungry people, and the battlefields were littered with corpses...

In troubled times, the common people are no better than grass!

Why!

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said seriously: "Biao'er, there is no absolute fairness and justice in this world, nor is it black and white. Everything is a choice of weighing the pros and cons. The Confucian moral code should be promoted. If you even say Needless to say, relying solely on Ming law will make this world extremely ugly and smelly."

“But we can’t take those things from Confucianism as the norm.”

"Now is no longer the period when the Zhou rites were prevalent. Confucianism should promote the restoration of the Zhou rites. If it can be used in the process of doing things, use it."

"If it is used and it seriously affects the effect and results of the work, throw it away!"

"You may not be able to accept it for a while. My father doesn't require you to do this. I just hope you understand that it can be done this way."

"When you are really cornered and in a desperate situation, there is no harm in using it."

Zhu Biao left in despair.

The palace became quiet again.

Mao Xiang crawled on the ground, sweating so much that he was so frightened that his whole body felt like it was being washed with water.

Can he hear these words?

The sharp eyes were like thorns falling on his back, and Mao Xiang straightened up instantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Mao Xiang sharply, "Forget what you said today."

"I...I don't remember anything!" Mao Xiang said in a panic: "Your Majesty, do you want me to tell Zhu Silang about the prince's response?"

"No need!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand decisively to stop him, "We are going to break our promise to Biao'er."

"Because we want to see if the fourth child can handle it? How he will handle it!"
