Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 55 Zhu Di: The land outside the Ming Dynasty is vast and I can take it as I please!

"Okay, Gao Xu, Gao Chi, you two go and complete the homework assigned by your husband, so as not to fail to finish your homework and be punished by your husband."

Zhu Di rubbed Zhu Gaoxu's little head.

A child's soft hair is like the down of a stuffed animal and feels great to the touch.

Zhu Gaoxu had a bright smile on his face.

"Father, don't worry, I have already drawn a map of the world, now all that's left is to make decisions, and I already have a direction in my mind, I can definitely complete it!"

Zhu Di nodded happily.

"As expected of me, Zhu Di's son."

His eyes moved to Zhu Gaochi, who had always had no sense of presence next to him. Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes with his fingers, looking very shy.

Zhu Di hesitated.

Then he reached out his hand and rubbed Zhu Gaochi's head.

Zhu Gaochi looked up with a face full of astonishment, but his eyes were filled with joy.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Six six three"

"Go in with your brother and do your homework."

"Yes, father."

Zhu Gaochi said.

After Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu walked in, Yao Guangxiao, also known as Dao Yan, suddenly spoke:

"My lord, did you hear that just now? Then the method proposed by Ye Xuan may be able to help you make achievements and establish a vassal state."

Zhu Di glanced at him and said:

"The king naturally knows."

"There are so many territories and countries outside the Ming Dynasty, and they are so rich."

"The Ming Dynasty already has my eldest brother, and I am destined to be a vassal king."

"I am so good at conquering and fighting, why can't I conquer a new territory and establish a vassal state?"

"In the past, there were vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Today, I will conquer the territories beyond the Ming Dynasty and create a vassal kingdom!"

If only according to Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination, Zhu Di would be sent to a certain fiefdom to guard the Ming Dynasty, then he would always be just a vassal king and would always be beheaded by the Ming Emperor.

Even after Zhu Biao died, his descendants came to power.

Zhu Di was still crushed.

Zhu Biaozhai has a kind heart and is also very kind to his brothers.

So he obeyed Zhu Biao.

However, it is not the same as his descendants who obeyed Zhu Biao.

Zhu Di has ambitions.

I am not willing to be inferior to others for the rest of my life.

Ye Xuan's words reminded him.

In the past, the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty expanded eastward and established vassal states. Although the princes regarded the Western Zhou Dynasty as their suzerain state, they had overwhelming power in their fiefdoms and were equivalent to emperors. Unlike vassal kings, they were restricted everywhere.

"Dao Yan."

"Are you willing to establish a hegemony with me?"

Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan.

In the clear black and white eyes, there is ambition that is not even concealed.

There are so many fertile territories outside the Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be a pity not to attack?

Dao Xing was so excited that his whole body trembled, his blood surged, and his face turned red.

He followed Zhu Di not for fame and fortune, but because he wanted to make contributions and practice his talents.

He has always exerted his subjective initiative.

Since my destiny is up to me and not God, and the world is peaceful, I will rebel;

If you don't rebel and just read books, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

He wanted to organize Zhu Di to rebel.

Even if you know the success rate is not high.

He also wanted to clean up Zhu Di.

Historically, Zhu Di eventually rebelled under the guidance of Dao Yan.

On the road to the success of Zhu Di's rebellion, Dao Yan exerted countless efforts. It can be said that without Dao Yan, there would be no Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

When the troops were raised, the eaves and tiles fell to the ground.

The ancients who believed in destiny thought this was an ominous sign.

Daoxing, a scholar who studied Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, believed in Heavenly Dao but did not believe in destiny. He said directly: "It's auspicious. The flying dragon is in the sky, followed by wind and rain. When the tile falls, it will turn yellow."

Morale suddenly rose.

When Zhu Di attacked Daning, Li Jinglong's 500,000-strong army besieged Zhu Di's base camp in Peiping. If Dao Yan hadn't defended Peiping, Zhu Di's home base would have been raided long ago. "Zhu Di would not be able to sit on the throne."

Dao Yan defended Beiping.

Then, Zhu Di and Dao Xing attacked from inside and outside, defeating Li Jinglong's army.

This time, the crisis of almost having the home confiscated was finally overcome safely.

The Ming Dynasty's army was powerful.

Zhu Di was beaten countless times, and the more he beat, the more desperate he became.

It was at this time that Dao Yan offered his advice.

Daoxing asked Zhu Di to go straight to the capital.

Zhu Di followed Dao Yan's plan and attacked the capital directly, and he succeeded.

He also succeeded in becoming emperor.

Later, there was Ming Chengzu, a medical practitioner.

It is precisely because of this that the Taoist monk, Yao Guangxiao, is called a strange monk by others and is known as the prime minister in black.

What he did affected the fate of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for your words for a long time!"

Dao Xing said excitedly.

He had waited a long time.

He originally wanted to wait for the opportunity to clean up Zhu Di's rebellion.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is still there.

The imperial power is stable.

Zhu Biao is the prince and future heir of Gangbang.

There is no gap for him to exploit.

If you rebel now, you will die 10% of the time.

He wanted to rebel, use his talents and knowledge, and make achievements.

But he's not stupid.

Knowing that he would die, of course he would not rebel now...

They thought about waiting for the opportunity to clean up Zhu Di's rebellion, but they didn't expect Ye Xuan's words to remind them.

Make great achievements.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a rebellion or overthrow of the throne.

There is such a vast and fertile territory and so many countries outside the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to make great achievements, wouldn't it be enough to defeat them?

He can also practice his talents.

Kill multiple birds with one stone.

It's really wonderful.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, looked at the vast sky, and asked:

"Dao Yan, what do you think of Ye Xuan?"

Daoxing replied:

"This man's knowledge is probably superior to that of my ministers, but I am far inferior to him.

In the past, I only focused on the Ming Dynasty, but I never thought about the vast territory beyond the Ming Dynasty. Compared with this person, I am just a frog at the bottom of the well and a thing in the pond. "

He gave a wry smile.

I have great admiration for Ye Xuan in my heart.

In the past, he only wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty so that he could display his talents and make achievements.

However, I was not too narrow-minded in his early years.

Zhu Di:??

Set your sights on the Ming Dynasty?

What does it mean?

Zhu Di didn't know yet that Dao Yan wanted to wait for an opportunity to clean up his rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still here.

Zhu Biao is also there.

No matter how brave Zhu Di was, he would not dare to rebel against his eldest brother, Lao'zi.

Zhu Di was afraid of Lao'zi.

He also respects his elder brother.

In history, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had not disappeared, he would not have dared to make any difference.

About a year after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.

5.6 Zhu Di, under the supervision of Dao Yan, directly launched the Jingnan Campaign in the name of "Qing Jun Side".

Zhu Di didn't care about the problems in Dao Yan's words.

He was a little surprised by what Dao Yan said.

"I didn't expect that even Daoyan would praise you so much."

"This man is truly remarkable."

Dao Yan is Zhu Di's number one adviser.

His intelligence far exceeds that of other counselors.

Daoyan said so, Ye Xuan's talent and learning may have reached a terrifying level.

"Who is this person Ye Xuan?"

"His knowledge is profound."

"A novel perspective."

"He actually allowed the vassal kings to imitate the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty and expand outward.

"interesting."

"This guy is really interesting."

Zhu Di became more curious about Ye Xuan.

I couldn't help but admire this knowledgeable person whom I had never met before.
