Chapter 18: If You Were the Emperor

Rob?

Several young young princes fell into deep thought.

Zhu Yun Yun's voice with infinite temptation, continued, "We have a sword in our hands, we have soldiers, is it not a waste not to rob?"

"Think about my royal grandfather, your father, what did his old man do when he was young?"

"He was a monk when he was young and asked for food!"

"My great grandfather, what did your grandfather do?"

"Peasants who farm the land and can't get enough to eat!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he liked to reminisce with his children and grandchildren. Not only did he not avoid his bitter origins in front of the world, but he also told his imperial sons and grandsons about this kind of bitterness as a kind of heavenly gift and training.

Earlier, those adult sons of the Emperor is still small, back to Fengyang home to pay homage to their ancestors, Zhu Yuanzhang are not allowed to ride a horse and carriage, but wearing straw sandals, along the footsteps of his troops to walk back.

Also not allowed to accept the gifts and meals of the government along the way, this is a warning to their children and grandchildren, Zhu family can have today is not easy.

A group of young princes fell into deep thought.

"How did our Zhu family come to be able to have today?" Zhu Yun continued to poison these children's young hearts, "Our ancestors were authentic mud legged people, our kingdom was not snatched from the hands of Dayuan with a knife. My grandfather, your father, with a group of soldiers, robbed us of glory and wealth, robbed the throne!"

The young princes nodded their heads, they were all at the age of going up a tree and pulling out a bird, itching to be idle in the palace all day.

"Uncle twenty-one!"

Shen Wang Zhu Mo was ranked twenty-one, and according to seniority, he was Zhu Yun Yun's twenty-one uncle.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Zhu Yun Yun laughed, "Twenty-first uncle, you are not the most envious of the Royal Grandfather when he led the army in a bloodbath? Tell me, do you want to be an idle prince who has nothing to do and watches cockfights all day long, or do you want to be a great general who leaps on his horse and raises his sword!"

"Of course it's a great general!" Shen Wang Zhu Mo patted his chest and said, "Every time I hear my uncle talk about how he followed Great General Chang to charge into battle back in the day, I ........ I can't wait to take my sword to the battlefield right away!"

Shen Wang's uncle was also a tough general, the former subordinate of Chang Yuchun, now the commanding officer of the Shenwu army in the capital.

"This is it!" Zhu Yun Yun slapped his palm and laughed, "Those tomatoes are occupying such a good place, occupying so much gold and silver, is it hard for you to look at them?"

"When you grow up, bring a few tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, directly kill the past, rob them of all the good things, to open up the territory for the Great Ming, awesome or not!"

Hearing the words of Zhu Yun, Shen Wang Zhu Mou's eyes glowed, "Windy! Wicked!" He seemed to see the day when he charged with his army, rampaging through the barbaric lands and raising the flag of the Great Ming high.

"I'm going to rob them, I'll bring my uncle, my cousin, my second aunt, and rob those barbarians!" Zhu Mo shouted.

"I have an uncle too!" Tang King Zhu Qui pulled his neck and said, "My uncle is killing the Tartars in the north, I'll write him a letter and ask him to come back!"

"Who doesn't have an uncle?" Ying Wang also join in the fun, shouted, "My uncle is a war heroes sealed earl, under the thousands of soldiers, all cavalry, I let him ride horseback pack me!"

Zhu Yun Yun laughed, these children are blank sheets of paper.

The seeds of themselves have already begun to take root in their hearts.

"Uh-huh!" A deliberate sound suddenly came from outside the window of the academy.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

The crowd turned around, only to see Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, Huang Dog'er, standing there.

"Slave servant greets all the princes!"

Huang Dog'er knelt on the ground, looked up and smiled, "Your Highness, King Wu, His Majesty invites you to dine."

"Good!" Zhu Yunyun nodded, and in the envious gazes of the princes, he took a big stride.

In the academy, Zhu Yunzhu, who was in the front row, lowered his head forlornly.

It turns out that the honor of accompanying his grandfather to dinner is a decency that only he, the nominal eldest grandson, has.

And now ........

Lifting his head, he looked out the window.

"Imperial grandfather, have you forgotten your grandson?" Zhu Yunzhu was disappointed and sad.

~~~~~

"No need to be polite, it's just the two of us, sit down!"

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Yunzhang still assisted him to sit down first, before sitting on the opposite side.

The dishes on the table were somewhat unexpected.

Zhu Yuanzhang is probably one of the most simple emperors in ancient times, when the emperor he loved to eat or hometown dishes, and each meal only one dish and one meal, just enough to eat, absolutely no waste.

The most commonly eaten dishes, is garlic and onion fried cured meat.

Cured meat is salted meat, that thing big oil and salt, in the mouth of the ordinary people is a delicacy, but in the emperor's table is a bit indecent.

But Zhu Yuanzhang just like, not only like, but also eat every meal very clean, not a grain of rice left.

Zhu Yunzhang had heard the story that his nineteenth uncle, Gu Wang, was once given ten lashes by Zhu Yuanzhang himself for secretly dumping old rice and cured meat.

While lashing, he scolded, "You loser who forgets his ancestors, you loser who doesn't know the hardship of people's livelihood.

But now, the dishes on the table are extraordinarily sumptuous.

The imperial chef carefully made dry roasted fish, onion roasted sea cucumber, salt water duck, fat chicken and so on a wide range of table.

The smell of the aroma of the nose, is the general appearance.

This so-called imperial chef, in fact, is not what profound cook, the original is the army cook. Surname Xu Xingzu, with Zhu Yuanzhang almost thirty years, Zhu's family meal are all he did.

"Eat, what are you looking at?" Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously in a good mood, and there was actually a pot of warm wine on the table.

Zhu Yunzhang hurriedly gets up and fills it up for Zhu Yuanzhang, "Imperial grandfather, we can't eat this!"

"If you can't eat it, give it to the guards, there won't be any left!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed aloud, "Eat, eat more!"

Zhu Yunzhang looks at the table full of dishes, some hesitation.

"You brat, taking our words as a whisper!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, "If I don't let you observe your filial piety, you'll eat vegetarian food. You're just growing up, when we were your age, we could eat three big fat chickens in one meal. What if you eat vegetarianism and get sick? How can a man not eat meat, give us some!"

Said, directly tore off a chicken leg on Zhu Yun Yun's plate, and then ignored the image of the hand in the clothes wipe, "Eat, eat more!"

"Thank you, Imperial Grandpa!"

Despite his heart's desire to please Zhu Yuanzhang, the old man's heartfelt care for his grandson also warmed Zhu Yun Yun's heart.

This old man in front of him, instantly blended with the kind grandfather in his mind, in his previous life's memories.

Tears could not help but fall, and took a big bite.

Then, hurriedly wiping the corners of his eyes, he finished the chicken leg in three or two bites.

"That's more like it, you're also big, accompany grandpa to drink a cup of wine!" Zhu Yuanzhang held the wine cup.

Zhu Yunzhang did not dare to be slow, hurriedly accompanied him to drink a small half cup.

"Ai, if your kid doesn't play dumb, our masters wouldn't have to drink a cup today!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Saying this, he looked at Zhu Yunzhang, "Let me ask you, those words today, did you come up with them yourself?"

"Back to the Royal Grandfather, every word was thought up by my grandson himself!" Zhu Yun Yun said.

"A pillar of talent, rare and valuable!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled gently, but immediately collected his smile and solidified it, "Do you know how much those words of yours offended people?"

"With you around, who else does Sun Er need to be afraid of? Besides, grandson is the Emperor's first grandson, who cares?" Zhu Yunzhang laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head in satisfaction, "That's like our grandson!"

Then, seemingly mindlessly, he continued, "What you said, changing the tax or occupying the land of the vassal states, are all difficult to implement, even for the Emperor." Said, Zhu Yuanzhang eyes like electricity, looked at Zhu Yunzhang, "If, let's say if, if you come to be the emperor, how do you do? How would you convince those ministers?"

Coming, Zhu Yunzhang's heart shook.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, it was the Crown Prince personnel in his heart that was tilting towards himself.

Zhu Yunzhang stood up, bowed and said, "Sun's son thought that an emperor without a pioneering spirit is not as good as a watchdog!"

As the words fell, a brilliant light rose in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

"The emperor is the leader of the world, and the ministers are the ones who help the emperor. Whether it's a tax change or something else, it's only when it touches the minister's interests that it's blocked, but the emperor is not the emperor of the ministers, but the emperor of the people of the world, and as long as it's good for the people, it's the right thing to do."

"Imperial grandfather once said that an emperor must do justice to the people. I don't need to convince them, I just need them to carry it out."

Zhu Yuanzhang drained his cup and opened his mouth to ask, "Then what if you leave behind a reputation?"

"There is a scale in the people's hearts, right and wrong will be judged by the public, if Sun's son is the emperor, he is unwilling to be the gatekeeper emperor praised by all officials, and is willing to be the generation of great emperor praised by all the people!"

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed.

Just at this moment, Huang Dog Er took a folded document and hurriedly walked in.

"What is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang is displeased.

Huang Dog'er knelt down, "Your Majesty, the eight hundred mile expedited folding from Yunnan, Master Mu Gong ......"

Miso, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, "What happened to Mu Ying?"
