Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to talk about his respective actions, Zhu Di stood up first without hesitation. He wanted to prove to his father that he deserved to be emperor, and he was not a bit better than that little bastard Zhu Yunwen!

"During my reign, I rectified the civil service, conquered Mobei, explored the West, and compiled the Yongle Canon. The Ming Dynasty was powerful in all directions, and all nations came to visit, and it was unprecedentedly prosperous."

"The great power of our dynasty is beyond the ancient times. It controls the northern barbarians and conquers the barbarians of the southern islands. It does not have the fraternity of the Han Dynasty, the alliance of the Tang Dynasty, the thin coins of the Song Dynasty, and the courtesy of brothers and enemies."

Zhu Di naturally avoided the part about the Fengtian Jingnan, and said with an extremely proud expression that what he was most proud of in his life was to spread the prestige of the Ming Dynasty at home and abroad, making the Ming Dynasty subdue all the barbarians and command all directions.

"good."

After listening to Zhu Di's narration, Lao Zhu immediately nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Di did not act very kindly by taking the throne from his eldest nephew, but as an emperor, Zhu Di was qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji had just come to power in their world and had not yet had time to make any achievements. They didn't know what to say at this time. The two father and son stared at each other and acted like airmen.

Zhu Yunwen looked embarrassed. He couldn't say that he was preparing to cut down the feudal clan. If he told the truth honestly, based on his understanding of Lao Zhu, he would most likely avoid a severe beating.

"My father, Emperor Hongzhi, died early. I ascended the throne at a young age, so my actions are inevitably a little extreme. Don't take offense, Taizu."

Zhu Houzhao's words aroused Lao Zhu's interest. He wanted to know what the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty had done. He could be described as "extreme".

"explain!"

Zhu Di was more direct and asked Zhu Houzhao not to be too secretive.

"I appoint eunuchs."

"I also use eunuchs, and I founded the Dongchang."

Zhu Di said that appointing eunuchs is not a big deal. Although eunuchs have a bad reputation, they are really useful. Whether they are used to target disobedient ministers or to take the blame for themselves, they are very good.

"I don't trust the minister."

"We don't trust the minister either."

Zhu Yuanzhang said that I am familiar with this.

"So, in order to consolidate my power, when I first took office, I appointed the Eight Tigers of the Chamber of Commerce to frame Liu Jian, the assistant minister my father left to me, and demoted him to farm in Liaodong."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhu, who had just said that he did not trust his ministers, became angry and yelled: "You drove away the assistant minister your father left for you, how can you manage the government, how can you control the country of Ming Dynasty?"

stable."

"Grandfather Taizu, you can't say that. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but you can't find a two-legged minister. Liu Jian Xie Qian bullied me when I was young and controlled the government. If I don't drive them away, I will return."

How to control the world."

Zhu Houzhao continued: "What's more, I didn't kill them, I just drove them to Liaodong to farm so that they could learn to be obedient."

"A minister who knows how to be obedient is a good minister, otherwise it will be a disaster no matter how capable he is."

"Then what?"

"After driving away Liu Jian and Xie Qian, I successively eliminated several guys who were ignorant of current affairs, and took complete control of the government. Internally, I suppressed the Jiangnan gentry and the wealthy families near the sea, externally pacified the grasslands, and captured Fusang. Although there were twists and turns,

But they were all suppressed by me."

After hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both felt that Zhu Houzhao was quite capable, but they just felt that something was wrong.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to ask the auxiliary minister to farm in Liaodong!"

Zhu Zhanji pointed out something was wrong. Since Zhu Di established the cabinet, the status of the auxiliary ministers in the cabinet has been vaguely superior to that of the six ministries. If the auxiliary ministers are allowed to farm, is it still a ghost place like Liaodong? Isn't there anyone who objects?

You must know that as an auxiliary minister in the cabinet, in addition to ability, he also has a huge reputation. Those who can enter the cabinet are all famous people in Shilin. We must drive away people who want power and fame.

You can imagine how difficult it is to farm.

"If something is out of place, maybe there are still people who want to rebel."

Zhu Houzhao didn't take it seriously. When Liu Jian and Xie Qian were going to Liaodong to farm, there were many opponents. But when they heard that they were going to Liaodong with them, everyone became dumb again, as if they had never known about it.

.

Literary men are just a bunch of scoundrels. If you give them some face, they will want to turn the world upside down. If you don't give them some face, they will be nothing.

"If you treat a scholar like this, no one in the world will be willing to do anything for you."

Zhu Gaochi said that he was revered as "Renzong" not only because of his outstanding abilities and his kindness to the people, but also because he treated the literati very favorably.

Among the many preferential treatment policies for literati that Zhu Houzhao abolished before, two-thirds were from his handiwork.

"There are many people in the world who are willing to be officials. If one of them fails, just replace him with another."

Zhu Houzhao had a very general impression of Zhu Gaochi. In the late Ming Dynasty, party strife was serious, and the literati brought disaster to the country and the people. He had to bear part of the blame. If he hadn't treated the literati too favorably, how could those powerless literati have become so rampant that they formed parties and associations?

Even disobedience, regicide, betrayal of the Lord and treason.

"It's just a small matter, no need to talk about it too much."

Lao Zhu didn't pay much attention to Zhu Houzhao's exile of auxiliary ministers and his indifference to literati. After all, his methods were much more violent and cruel than Zhu Houzhao's. He often ransacked homes and exterminated families. Zhu Houzhao just drove people to farm in Liaodong.

This is already considered very merciful.

Zhu Di was also the same. He maintained the concept of using the literati if they could be used and killing them if they could not be used. Fang Xiaoru, who was known as the seed of scholars in the world, killed ten tribes for him. The talented and outspoken scholar Xie Jin was ordered by him to be a royal guard general.

Freezing to death in the snow shows how cruel his methods are.

In the early Ming Dynasty, literati really had no status. If the emperor said to kill you, they would kill you. Unlike the literati in the late Ming Dynasty, they were extremely rampant, and they were all hateful and hateful.

"We remember that Fusang was designated as a country without conquest at the beginning of the founding of the country. Why did you violate the ancestral precepts and attack Fusang?"

Lao Zhu didn't care about the life and death of the literati of the Zhengde Dynasty, but asked another question that seemed trivial, but related to his face.

"The Fusang Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded the coastal territory of the Ming Dynasty. Instead of destroying them, they still stayed to do more. Furthermore, Fusang owns a large Shijianyin Mountain, which means that they are willing to die in the right way."

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, of course the reason why he destroyed Fusang was because the Japanese pirates were invading the Linhai territory, but more importantly because this clan deserved to die, and he wanted this clan to never be able to stand up again.

In order to take revenge on the Fusang Japanese pirates, he threw all the Fusang remnants into the deepest part of Liaodong, on the frozen soil near Siberia, leaving the Fusang bitch to struggle in the ice and snow, desperate, until he died.

After swallowing the Fusang stone and seeing the silver mountain, he obtained hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and also completely wiped out the Fusang family. Many people secretly scolded Zhu Houzhao for eating people without spitting out the bones, but Zhu Houzhao didn't mind, he wanted to

It's just that Fuso disappears forever, and the rest doesn't matter at all.

A dirty and despicable race like Fusang would not feel happy even if he lived in the world for one more day. It was a deep and boundless hatred buried deep in his bones and engraved in his soul that could not be erased by the twists of time and space or the changes of the years.
