Chapter 374 Zhu Han: How about you, my eldest nephew, rebel?
Zhu Biao delegated power. Zhu Han thought this was very normal. How could being an emperor be so tiring?
Zhu Yuanzhang has also heard Zhu Han's advice. He also believes that power should be delegated, otherwise what is the use of raising so many ministers? But Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who has a strong desire for control and is also a person who doubts everything. He knows that delegating power is normal.
However, he was worried that his officials would deceive him, so he chose to monopolize power.
But what happens even if the power is taken over?
When the courtiers should have deceived him, how could they have deceived him even a little bit?
The more ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang was in his management, the stronger the rebellious psychology of the officials was, and the more secretive they were in doing things. Zhu Yuanzhang went to the world for a tour, and Zhu Biao found two shocking eucalyptus. What was the reason for this?
Isn’t this a loophole left by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was there? It’s true that Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, but he is also a human being. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Those officials who violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty basically have two faces and behave in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
He was selfless, as if he was the good minister Zhu Yuanzhang needed to govern the world, but behind his back he had another face, frantically plundering people's wealth, oppressing the people, and making them miserable.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is still overseas, he also agrees with Zhu Biao's handling methods, but that was Zhu Yuanzhang when he was away. Who knows whether he will fall out when he comes back?
Zhu Biao didn't think so much, but after listening to Zhu Han's words, Zhu Biao became hesitant.
Think about Zhu Yuanzhang’s character again...
He might really do what Zhu Han said and settle the scores again.
But, is this necessary?
Zhu Biao was a little disappointed: "Uncle, I have done a good job, but why is my father always dissatisfied?"
"If you were my son, I wouldn't be satisfied with your performance."
Zhu Han looked at the disappointed Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "Which father is willing to admit that his son is better than him?"
"..."
Zhu Biao, who was tricked by Zhu Han again, couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly: "Uncle, now is not the time to joke. Am I really that unbearable?"
"It's not that you are unbearable, but that he is your father. You are only supervising the country now, but you are not the emperor."
Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "How about you try to rebel?"
"ah?"
Zhu Biao never expected that words like rebellion could come out of Zhu Han's mouth.
And he still persuaded himself to rebel... How could he be an uncle like this?
But Zhu Han seemed to be interested, and said to Zhu Biao with a smile: "If you rebel, I will definitely support you. After your rebellion is successful and the court is stabilized, I will take my brother and sister-in-law to Yinzhou. You stay
Show your talents in the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing that Zhu Biao was still hesitating, Zhu Han took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Biao'er, what are you worried about? Tell me, don't worry, although the civil and military ministers in the court are all my brother's team to conquer the world,
But don’t you also use them? If you rebel, they will support you... Besides, with your uncle here, what are you worried about? "
"..."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han and said aggrievedly: "Uncle, my father told me about the rebellion."
"oh?"
Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao and asked with interest: "What should I say? Does he support your rebellion?"
Zhu Han had heard in his previous life that Zhu Yuanzhang was the only emperor who supported the prince's rebellion. However, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han gradually stayed away from the court and ignored the government, so he did not test whether this matter was true or not. Today, he finally
When I had the opportunity to ask this question, judging from Zhu Biao's reaction, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang had really spoken to Zhu Biao.
"Um."
Zhu Biao nodded vigorously, and then said to Zhu Han: "My father said that I can rebel, but I can't win my uncle to be with me. He said that the world belongs to you, and if you rebel, I won't win with force."
"Hahahahaha."
Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Han amused. Zhu Yuanzhang was really interesting.
He finally saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all whether Zhu Biao's rebellion was successful or not.
He just wanted to make Zhu Biao grow up quickly through rebellion.
I have to say that throughout history, Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely unique among emperors who dared to let his prince rebel.
I have never seen an emperor like him.
"Then forget it." Zhu Han waved his hand and said to Zhu Biao: "Without my help, your rebellion will never succeed. We won't do anything meaningless."
Zhu Biao thought so too, but what he was more interested in now was how he would face it after Zhu Yuanzhang came back: "Uncle, let's not talk about anything else now. Just tell me, what will happen if my father comes back?"
How should the situation in the court be handled?"
"Let nature take its course."
Zhu Han said, "You don't have to do anything, and the courtiers will not make mistakes. My brother is a petty person. On the one hand, he hopes that you will grow up and become a qualified emperor, but he is the emperor now, so
There are many things that require his final say."
"That makes sense."
Zhu Biao nodded, convinced of Zhu Han's analysis, and complained to Zhu Biao: "My father sometimes seems to have a split personality, and his face changes very quickly. Sometimes I wonder if he is being manipulated.
How can a ghost change his face so quickly?"
"What kind of ghosts are you getting into? You are the emperor and what you want to practice is atheism. There is no so-called god in the world. Don't believe in those monsters and ghosts. They are all lies."
Zhu Han doesn't believe in gods at all. No matter how powerful he is, aren't he still a human being?
He continued to Zhu Biao: "Your father is schizophrenic. He is the kind of person who makes people love and hate him. If he didn't have such a strong desire to control, he would be a famous king throughout the ages."
Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Dynasty were all people with a strong desire for control, but their strength was different from that of Zhu Yuanzhang. With the development of monarchical centralization to this day, kings like Zhu Yuanzhang who desire to show strength can really be regarded as
One and only.
In the history of that era, Zhu Yuanzhang was a very polarizing emperor, but in this life, with Zhu Han's vision that was more than seven hundred years ahead, Zhu Yuanzhang has successfully surpassed Emperor Qin and Han Wu. No matter how the dynasty changes in the future,
Zhu Yuanzhang can be called the emperor of the ages, and no one can take his place.
As for Zhu Biao, let's see how well he can manage the dynasty brought down by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But with Zhu Han's changes to Zhu Biao, Zhu Han believes that his achievements will not be too bad... Of course, this is based on the premise that Zhu Biao is in good health.
Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said to him: "Okay, don't think so much. You are my brother's son, what else can he do to you?"
"Um."
Zhu Biao nodded, and then heard Zhu Han say that he wanted to fight with him for another hour. The commander's expression became even more bitter: "Uncle, my father will be back soon. Do you want me to rest for two days?"
"What does your exercising have to do with whether my brother comes back or not? Don't make excuses for your laziness."
Zhu Han refused to accept this trick and directly took Zhu Biao to the school ground: "Come on, let's practice hard."
Zhu Biao followed Zhu Han to exercise with a sad face. At least at this moment, Zhu Biao very much hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could come back. At least he would not have to be tortured by Zhu Han every day.
…
Let’s talk about Zhu Yuanzhang.
After arriving in Yinzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang was basically sure that the world was round, they were standing on a ball, the sun in the sky was the most important planet in the galaxy, and the moon revolved around the earth...
This kind of knowledge is called science, and Zhu Han has been talking to Zhu Yuanzhang about the importance of science.
In the past, Zhu Han told Zhu Yuanzhang this knowledge, but he didn't believe it and found it a bit unbelievable. But now that Zhu Han said that they live on the same planet has been confirmed, Zhu Han had to admit it even if he didn't want to admit it. He felt that
The incredible knowledge seems to be true.
This was so convincing that he had to admit that these words were true.
"We really live on a ball..."
As the distance to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty got closer and closer, Zhu Yuanzhang talked more and more. He said to Ma Xiuying: "Qiwu said that the reason why we can stand on the ball without falling down is because of gravity. After talking about arithmetic,
It will become a very important subject, and it is also said that the Ministry of Household Affairs will need more arithmetic talents in the future."
Ma Xiuying has been listening to Zhu Yuanzhang talking about these things these days, and her ears are almost calloused. Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's nagging, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but said: "Since you think what Qi Wu said makes sense, then just follow what Qi Wu said.
Wouldn’t it be nice to just do it?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "Sister, it's not that we don't want to do it, but it's too difficult. In today's imperial examination, those scholars already spend more than ten years just reading the Four Books and Five Classics. It takes a genius to complete this."
If arithmetic is added to our great achievements, where will we find suitable talents?”
It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to look for it, but he feels that the current imperial examination contains a lot of content, and it is already extremely laborious for students to take the Four Books and Five Classics exam. If arithmetic is added to the equation... how much do people need to learn to take the imperial examination?
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about, Ma Xiuying said nonchalantly: "What's the point? In the past, the Four Books and Five Classics were tested because only the Four Books and Five Classics could be tested. Now arithmetic is more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Why can't arithmetic be added to it?"
"
"Yes, why can't we add it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out immediately, and he pulled Ma Xiuying and was very happy: "Sister, we knew we were right about you, you are a person who can be the prime minister!"
"Come on, a three-year-old can see this kind of thing."
Ma Xiuying clicked on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead, and then said: "You are just obsessed with it. You know what Zhu Han said is right, why don't you just do it?"
Such a simple truth does not need to be taught at all, it is just that Zhu Yuanzhang did not think about these things.
"Haha, is that so? My sister is right. Let's go back to Qiwu and ask for advice."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang logged in at Fumin. When he arrived at the port, the people around the port surrounded the port. How could they have imagined that the emperor would come to their place?
Nowadays, the carriages and horses are very slow, and it is very inconvenient for the people to travel. They only know that the world today belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and they also know that the current emperor is the Hongwu Emperor, but they have never seen it, but who would have thought... that they would see it now
Well, and it came from the sea, people rushed to the port one after another to see what Zhu Yuanzhang looked like.
The port of Fumin was surrounded by water, but the chief envoy of Fumin was so anxious. How could he have imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually land from Fumin, and there were so many people around, no matter how good the security was, something might happen.
Oh no, if someone with ulterior motives wants to harm Zhu Yuanzhang, the first person the courtiers will not let go of is himself.
Therefore, before Zhu Yuanzhang got off the ship, Chief Minister Fu Min hurriedly boarded the ship and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to be careful. However, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chief Minister Fu Min's reminder, instead of expressing appreciation for his concern, he directly
He was given a kick. If he hadn't been in a good mood, the Chief Envoy would have been pulled out by Zhu Yuanzhang for investigation.
"How can the people know that we are good to the people? Will they harm an emperor who is good to them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite thing is to have fun with the people, and he doesn't care about anything else:
"Get out of here! Today we are going to turn around from the front to see if our people will do anything to us."
Fu Min, the chief envoy, was sweating profusely and ran off the boat, and then greeted him respectfully. The chief envoy was full of grievances. It was obviously not his fault, and he really thought about Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely, but how could he
Don't you appreciate it?
It's a shame that Zhu Yuanzhang can appreciate his method of worrying.
Besides, when Zhu Yuanzhang was in Yingtian, he would suddenly leave the palace for private visits every now and then. He did not want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but he wanted to truly understand the sentiments of the people.
It was Fu Min's first time here, but Zhu Yuanzhang was very confident that even if these people knew his identity, they would not do anything against him.
Allocate land to each family, let them work to earn money, and let their children study...
Which emperor can do so many good things? Will Zhu Yuanzhang be afraid that they will harm him?
joke!
This chief envoy is really a bit disgraceful.
When Zhu Yuanzhang emerged from the ship, the people knelt down and shouted long live. Everyone was shaking with excitement. They never thought that one day they would also be able to see the emperor.
That's the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people shouting long live, and looked at Ma Xiuying proudly: "How about this, are we qualified to be an emperor?"
Ma Xiuying looked at the proud Zhu Yuanzhang, rolled her eyes and ignored him.
That Zhu Yuanzhang is so supported by the people is not due to Zhu Han's advice?
If it weren't for Zhu Han, how could Zhu Yuanzhang have given so many preferential policies to the people?
However, Ma Xiuying is also happy for Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Ma Xiuying feels honored to be supported by so many people. This shows that what they are doing now is recognized and supported by the people.
Ma Xiuying walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang, enjoying the roar of the people and seeing their excited expressions. Ma Xiuying felt that what they had done over the years was worthwhile.
Zhu Yuanzhang also liked to be with the people, but the people in Fu Min were too enthusiastic. The soldiers guarding both sides were unable to stop the people who were rushing forward. The chief envoy of Fu Min did not care whether he would offend Zhu Yuanzhang.
He pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and walked out: "Your Majesty, you are respected by the people, but there are too many people. If a stampede happens and hurts the people, wouldn't it violate your majesty's original intention of caring for the people?
