LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 68
Ming dynasty.
Zhu Di's question made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned.
People are knives, and I am fish. When a person sharpens his knives, will he choose to accept his fate?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the roar of Haozhou City, the fighting under Yingtian City, and the fight on Poyang Lake that determined the ownership of the world.
No, I will not accept my fate. Even if the enemy is countless times stronger than me, I will stand up bravely, pull out the sword in my waist, and fight to the death with the enemy.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the stubborn Zhu Di, and in a trance, he seemed to see himself when he was young.
Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other in silence. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely serious. No one dared to speak at this time.
"Chongba, the fourth child was wrong for rebelling, but Yun Wen forced him like this, which actually made him wrong in the first place."
At this moment, Queen Ma stood between the two of them and softly advised:
"When the fourth child got to that point, it was out of necessity. Fortunately, nothing happened yet, and we still have a chance to make amends. After saying that
, Queen Ma looked at Zhu Di again and said:
"Why don't you admit your mistake to your father and show mercy?"
Empress Ma kept winking at Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Di only needed to bow slightly and apologize. Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have gotten off his ass, but Zhu Di's temper got worse at this time.
"I am right!"
He stood there motionless, with a tense face, as if he was right.
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, which had gradually dissipated, rose up again after seeing Zhu Di's appearance, and went straight to his Tianling Gai.
"Nie Zan, you still dare to say that you are right? ?"
"As a subject, you dare to raise an army to rebel and put all the people in danger. Just for this, you deserve death."
"We actually found flaws in our ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. We allowed your vassal kings to come to the capital to serve King Qingjun. But we had two more sentences after that. Why didn’t you say it?"
"If there are no honest ministers in the dynasty and there is evil in the government, the prince will train the troops and be on standby, and the emperor will secretly issue orders to the kings and lead the troops to suppress them. After peace, the troops were gathered in the camp, and the emperor returned to the dynasty."
"Do we ask you to take the initiative to raise troops to attack Qingjun? We ask you to get the emperor's secret order before you can raise an army. If you raise an army without authorization, it is an open rebellion!!"
"Damn it, that's your eldest nephew. As an uncle, you don't care about the relationship between uncle and nephew at all, but you want to raise an army to take away your nephew's throne. Are you still a human being?"
"If you do this, what will the world think of our Lao Zhu family? Have you never thought that if you raise an army to seize the throne of your nephew, your descendants will not fight against each other?"
Zhu Di's tense face slowly relaxed, but when he heard the affection between uncle and nephew, Zhu Di snorted unconvinced:
"Father, you said that I don't care about the relationship between uncles and nephews, then why don't you ask Zhu Yunwen if he takes us uncles seriously?"
"We are his uncles, and I am my eldest brother's brother, but how does he treat me?"
"He sent people to monitor him, deployed internal agents, transferred the three guards of King Yan, and stationed heavy troops near Beiping. Is this how he respects my uncle?"
"Even if you are facing a life-and-death enemy, that's all, right?"
"In order to survive, I even pretended to be crazy, slept in a pig pen, and ate pig food, but did he let me go?"
"Father, you favor the boss, but you can’t be too partial, right?"
"He has already become the emperor, but he still wants to take the lives of our uncles. Is this Zhu Yunwen's uncle-nephew relationship?"
"Lao Twelve was forced to death by him, Lao Wu and his family were in poverty, and life was worse than death. If I just surrendered, I would probably end up no better than Lao Twelve?"
"Do you really want your son to die in his hands to be satisfied?"
"Bastard, if you dare to talk back, I will beat you to death!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was about to raise his hands and teach the fourth child in front of him a lesson.
"Father, no!! Zhu
Biao quickly stepped forward to stop Zhu Yuanzhang and defended Zhu Di:
"The fourth child is indeed not to blame for this matter, it is because Yun Wen was too ruthless and cruel!!"
"Let’s not talk about whether Yun Wen should cut down the vassal clan, but let’s just say that the fourth, fifth, and twelfth elders are all his uncles, so he shouldn’t do this."
"In ancient times, the reduction of vassal status was never achieved overnight. Even the talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not uproot the vassal king. Instead, he issued a benevolent order and spent several generations to slowly solve the vassal king's problems."
"However, Yun Wen acted too harshly, too hastily. In three months, he deposed four vassal kings in succession. This was neither the act of a benevolent nor a capable ruler."
"Father, you may have made a mistake by choosing Yun Wen to be the emperor."
These words coming from Zhu Biao's mouth have a completely different impact on Zhu Yuanzhang than what Zhu Di said. No matter how powerful Zhu Di is in the future, to Zhu Yuanzhang now, he is just an immature child. Zhu Yuanzhang Zhu Di's opinions will not be taken seriously.
But Zhu Biao is the successor whom Zhu Yuanzhang values. Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into deep thought.
Looking at Zhu Di above the light and shadow, he issued a message of peace to the sky to the people of Peiping. Roaring, Zhu Yuanzhang murmured softly:
"Did we really do something wrong?"
Big man.
Liu Bang looked at the light and shadow in astonishment, pointed at Zhu Di in disbelief, and asked the officials:
"Is this Zhu Di crazy? As long as he only has less than 30,000 people, he actually dares to rebel?"
"Using a small area to fight against the world, unless Zhu Yunwen is a fool, otherwise Zhu Di will definitely die!!"
"Zhu Di did not die and became emperor in the end!"
Lu Zhi answered Liu Bang's question coldly, then glanced at Liu Bang and said pointedly:
"Instead of worrying about Zhu Di, your majesty should think more about yourself and the future of our great men."
"What's the meaning? Why haven't I thought about Dahan's future? Liu
Bang looked sideways at Empress Lu and asked:
"Aren’t we big men doing well now? The world is at peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Is there any problem?"
Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bang deeply. She didn't know whether Liu Bang was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
But the words had already been said here, so Lu Zhi simply made it clear and said:
"Hasn’t Your Majesty seen the many similarities between our Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty?"
"The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were all the princes of Zhu Yuanzhang, and their fiefdoms often only had one city, but what about our vassal kings of the Han Dynasty?"
"Not only do they have princes, but they also have other relatives of the emperor, and their fiefdoms are far larger than a city."
"If these vassal kings rebel, how should Your Majesty respond?"
"Do they dare? ?!"
Liu Bang originally looked a little lazy. After hearing Lu Pheasant's words, his eyes instantly became sharp, and his beard and hair were spread out, like a lion. The aura exuded from his whole body was chilling.
The civil and military ministers present saw Liu Bang getting angry. , hurriedly knelt on the ground and persuaded Liu Bang to calm down.
But Lu Pheasant didn't take it seriously at all, and just replied lightly:
"'Why don't they dare?"
"Ying Bu rebelled, Peng Yue rebelled, and Lu Wan rebelled. Didn’t these vassal kings say they would be loyal to His Majesty before?"
"That's different. The current Han vassal kings are all members of our old Liu family!!"
Liu Bang retorted again.
But Lu Pheasant's next words left Liu Bang speechless:
"Isn't Zhu Di from the old Zhu family? He is still Zhu Yuanzhang's legitimate son and Zhu Yunwen's biological uncle, but so what?"
"He still rebelled, Fengtian Jingnan, Qingjun side, finally killed his nephew, grabbed the throne, ruled the world"
"Could it be that the relationship between the vassals of our old Liu family and His Majesty could be more affectionate than the relationship between father and son?"
Liu Bang was a little stunned, with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
But before Lu Zhi could say anything, she continued to Liu Bang:
"Your Majesty should learn from the Ming Dynasty and not repeat the same mistakes!!"
"Your Majesty, please cut off the feudal vassal!"
Liu Bang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Lu Pheasant's request. At this time, he finally understood the deep meaning of Lu Pheasant. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Cutting down the vassal? Weakening the power of the Liu family?
"This matter will be discussed later. The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is the Han Dynasty. I don’t believe that the emperor of the Han Dynasty will be worse than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Queen Lu's eyes remained calm, but deep in her eyes, a hint of disappointment quietly dissipated.
