Hongwu thirty-one years, May 22nd.

Zhu Yunwen finally received a summons from his grandfather in this body, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty and the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

When he was summoned, Zhu Yunwen had just had breakfast and hurriedly followed the summoned eunuch into the palace.

Along the way, Zhu Yunwen found it extremely difficult to calm down. After more than ten years of ups and downs in his official career, the self-restraint skills he had long cultivated were completely lost, which was really embarrassing.

In fact, the person he was about to meet was probably the most legendary emperor in history.

There is no one who can achieve justice for the country better than Zhu Ming!

There is no emperor with a lower background than Zhu Yuanzhang, and there is no emperor with higher achievements than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang used his life to perfectly explain what it means to be "a prince, a general, or a minister, would you rather have the seed?" For thousands of years in the past dynasties, the rebels were like the ministers crossing the river. Only Zhu Yuanzhang, with his humble body, conquered the world.

Chen Sheng, the originator of the rebels, leveraged the power of the First Emperor, but finally took advantage of Liu Bang, the chief of the Sishui pavilion, and became a great man of four hundred years.

The old ways of the mountains and wild lands opened their eyes, which exhausted the vitality of the Han people, but ended up losing three parts of the world. The vitality of the Han people was greatly damaged.

Yang Jian and Li Yuan were from powerful families.

Zhao Kuangyin was good at bullying orphans and widowed mothers. He was unable to recapture the Sixteenth State of Yanyun until his death. The word "Song" was weak and could not be taken away from his head for hundreds of years.

Zhu Yuanzhang "expelled the barbarians, restored China, established the principles and disciplines, and rescued the people." He drove away the Ni Yuan Dynasty and reshaped the Yan and Huang Dynasties. In terms of his contribution to the nation, there is no other king other than Taizu of later generations. This alone is enough.

He is called an emperor through the ages.

Regarding the evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang, there is a mixture of praise and blame, indiscriminate killing of heroes, and suspicion of sexual behavior. These are all stains on Zhu Yuanzhang. However, regardless of whether Zhu Yuanzhang is a good person or not, the four words "national hero" always escape from the fact that he only saves the nation to rebirth.

Can't fall off.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his posthumous title was enough to explain Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements: "Open the Sky!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had the power to create heaven!

It is enough to see how great Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige is in the world in today's China. He is truly a holy king respected by all people. Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from the most miserable family, understands the suffering of the people the most. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is also the leader of all dynasties.

The emperor who was the cruelest to corrupt officials.

Beheadings and ransacking homes are commonplace, and skins are often removed and stuffed as grass so that successor officials can take a closer look.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is the real emperor who always only cares about the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang taught all the scholars when they came to feudal vassal states, "When a country is newly established, all its wastes are waiting to be renovated. Don't build any buildings or strain the people's bodies."

Whenever the kings abuse the people, Zhu Yuanzhang will be summoned to the front to beat and reprimand him, and he will depose the people at every turn. "If you regard the people as pigs and dogs, you will be as good as pigs and dogs!"

The kings were deeply afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang and no longer dared to be arrogant and domineering.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Queen Ma, passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the importance of the border and hurriedly asked King Zhu Ping of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan to return to the border before the period of filial piety was over.

Seeing such an emperor, Zhu Yunwen really couldn't stay calm, even though this legendary emperor was already lying on the bed, dying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Sun is here."

Zhu Yunwen had just arrived and before he was greeted, the attendant made a silent gesture, tiptoed to the couch, knelt down and whispered.

"Um."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was resting his mind with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and glanced slightly sideways at Zhu Yunwen, who quickly prostrated himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved, "No need to greet me, come here, I want to ask you a few questions."

Zhu Yun let out a sigh, hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and pretended to choke, "Grandpa, take care of the dragon body."

"Crying! What a useless thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said, "Your father and several uncles are ahead of us. Birth, old age, illness and death are ordinary things, so why bother about it."

Zhu Yunwen then stopped speaking, held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly, and whispered, "Sun Chen has written it down."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, "Two days ago, I heard that you were overworked and fainted? Are you feeling better recently?"

Zhu Yunwen felt a real soreness in his nose this time, "To my grandpa, everything is fine with Sun Chen. Don't worry about me too much."

"Not long after the world was settled, the people are still in dire straits. If you can put state affairs first and work hard day and night, we are happy in our hearts."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We are the Heavenly Family, so we naturally have to set an example for the world. Only the Emperor's hard work can make the officials of the world dare not neglect civil affairs. You must remember that you must not neglect government affairs in the future."

"Sun Chen took note of it."

"A few days ago, we summoned Qi Tai and asked him about his inspection of the North. Have you read his memorial?"

"Sun Chen has seen it. In the north, An Tai, relying on grandpa Tianwei, the remnants of the rebellious Yuan Dynasty do not dare to provoke."

"We can't even get out of this bed now, so why are we talking about the power of God!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared, became angry again, and angrily said, "Why are you so impractical? How can the remnants of Mongolia be afraid of us? There are wolf cubs on the grassland one generation after another. The ones we beat until they run away are already in the graves."

Dry bones, who is in power now who is still afraid of us? They dare not invade. It is the soldiers on the border who are brave and the three armies sacrificed their lives for peace. It has nothing to do with the emperor. You must remember!"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned and said sincerely, "My grandson was wrong. Grandpa taught me. I will never forget it."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "You have followed your father since you were a child. You are well-behaved, benevolent and filial. You are a good boy, but you are not a good king. When your father was here, there were the second, third and fourth sons in this country.

A brother was eyeing him. There was a founding figure outside who was proud of his merits, so we gave your father a thorn stick to hold. Your father didn't want to, so we asked him why? He said, the thorns sting our hands. We asked him again, let's help.

What if he pulled out this thorn? Your father was kind and righteous. Hearing this, he clenched the thorn with both hands so that blood dripped. He said that noble ministers are the cornerstone of the country and should not be touched lightly. Brothers and princes are even more closely related. We can see it in our eyes.

, I love and hate him at the same time, I love his benevolence and righteousness, he will love the people like a son, but hate him for not fighting. How can such a character be able to control those arrogant and fierce generals in the future?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath and said, "We can't leave an unstable country to our descendants, so let's do this bad guy. We'll kill all the brothers and sisters who started with us. But I never thought that your father would do this because of this."

He had a disagreement with us, and if we scolded him a few words, he would become worried and angry, which would lead to heart palpitations and illness. We regret that he suddenly became ill because of this!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's eye circles turned red, "It was us who harmed your father, and we regret it very much. My dear grandson, will you forgive us?"

Zhu Yunwen paused for a moment. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expectant eyes, he understood why in history, Zhu Yunwen knew that Zhu Yunwen was not suitable to be a king, but he still wanted to make Zhu Yunwen his successor, even at the expense of belittling kings and killing ministers. This was very important to Zhu Yunwen.

The death of his biological father, Zhu Biao, was actually caused by regret.

"Since grandpa has asked, Sun Chen will tell you directly." Zhu Yunwen said, "Grandpa is the emperor first, and then the head of our Zhu family. Although Sun Chen has lived in the palace for a long time, he has always heard about the Huaixi nobles headed by Hu Weiyong.

He is tyrannical, corrupt and perverts the law, wantonly confining land, preying on the common people. Grandpa is not only the sworn brother of the honorable nobles, not only the grandpa of his grandchildren, nor just the father of his father and uncles, but also the father of the common people in the world.

If they are eliminated, the people of the world will not be able to have enough to eat or live in peace for a day. Even if Grandpa does not kill them, when Sun Chen succeeds to the throne, they will be killed to ensure the stability of the country and the food and clothing of hundreds of millions of people. This point

, Sun Chen felt that grandpa did the right thing, and Sun Chen never blamed grandpa for a day. Since there was no blame, he naturally did not forgive him. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "Seriously?"

Zhu Yunwen paused, looked into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and said in deep thought, "Where is the victory of the Northern Expedition now? The new rich are all in decline. One day, I will hold the Emperor's Sword and kill all the corrupt before I can let go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be filled with energy for a moment, and he sat up from the couch, "Who taught you this?"

"It's what my grandson thinks and says."

A burst of cold sweat broke out on Zhu Yunwen's back. These lines of poetry were timely and appropriate to the situation. With these lines, Zhu Yuanzhang's indiscriminate killing of heroes could be completed.

"Good! Very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, and actually had the energy to raise his hand and patted Zhu Yunwen's shoulder, then touched Zhu Yunwen's head with his hand, and sighed, "We have always been afraid that you will not be able to secure your position, because you are timid and have no independent opinion. The reason is,

It's our fault, I haven't read books, and I want to have children and grandchildren who can't be laughed at like me. But after reading too many books about sages, people become stupid. I'm very happy that you have this opinion today, but it's a pity.

, we don’t have much time left.”

After taking a breath, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Today, your uncles have grown up. Except for us, they will not obey you. For the sake of the country's stability, it is imperative to reduce the vassal state, but we know our children best.

Those uncles of yours all followed me and Ni Yuan to fight to the death. They will not be captured without mercy. There will be a war, especially your fourth uncle. You have to be more careful with this little brat. Alas, in the final analysis,

It's all because of our incompetence that we couldn't leave you with a stable empire.

Good grandson, you have to forgive us. We are old. When your father and several uncles died, our hearts ached. We could have had the heart to kill those brothers and sisters, but we can no longer have the heart to kill our own flesh and blood.

Yes, we have left you this country, but we have also left you with opponents and enemies."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and said firmly, "Grandpa is serious. Grandpa is both a good emperor and a good father. History will give him a fair review. As for his grandson, grandpa doesn't have to worry about his grandson's position as crown prince."

, it was my grandpa who offered sacrifices to his ancestors in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and issued an imperial edict to show that the world has decided that the great righteousness lies with his grandson. The succession of his grandson to the throne is the popular wish of all the people in the world. Therefore, his grandson has no rivals. Fourth uncle and the others

, and you are not worthy to be your grandson’s opponent!”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunzhen for a moment, then raised his head and laughed, "Our grandson has become an emperor! Unexpectedly, in just ten days, our grandson has become completely different. Okay! Okay! Okay! I'm relieved. We can do it."

I'm going to see my ancestors and your grandma. Originally, we had written a will to prevent your uncles from returning to Beijing to express condolences, for fear that they would secretly form alliances with the courtiers. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary, haha, let them all

Come back! Come back all! Come back to pay homage to the new emperor, let them see with their own eyes the spirit of the new emperor, let them know that our eyes are not blind! The people we have selected are all outstanding people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again for a while, paused, and slumped on the couch. He called the attendant twice but received no response, so he touched him lightly with his hand, his face turned earth-colored, and he started wailing.
Chapter completed!
