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

Chapter 59 Zhu Yuanzhang: Our son will never rebel!

Inside the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the window, with his back to the door.

If he were outside the window, he would definitely be able to see Zhu Yuanzhang frowning.

Zhu Di wanted to expand outward and incorporate small neighboring countries into his vassal state.

This was beyond his expectation.

Originally he followed the Western Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system.

He just wanted to divide the princes' fiefdoms and let them become vassal kings to guard the country and guard the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Di was not allowed to expand.

Zhu Di's desire to expand outward will produce a series of chain reactions.

There are benefits and disadvantages.

He couldn't make up his mind.

So I wanted to ask Ye Xuan what he thinks.

"emperor."

"Master Ye is already here."

The eunuch's voice came from behind him. Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and saw Ye Xuan wearing a cyan and white pheasant official robe. He had handsome features and was still so graceful.

"My lord, I have met the emperor!"

Ye Xuan said.

He was full of slander now.

Originally there was no work today, but in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang dragged him into the palace to work overtime.

How many times has this happened?

“You go down.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand towards the eunuch.

"Here."

The eunuch left and closed the door.

"Do you know why we called you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

A+$7:......

You asked me to come and you asked me?

Ye Xuan complained in his heart.

He lowered his head pretending to be respectful and kept rolling his eyes.

He was guessing what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do when he called him this time.

This is the third time Zhu Yuanzhang has come to see him.

The first time was when the questions came out in the imperial examination.

The second time, I took him directly for questioning, asking how to select talents, restore the national economy, etc.

And this time.

What does Zhu Yuanzhang want to do?

Ye Xuan recalled his experiences these days, and it seemed like he had done nothing.

Although his official position is in the Ministry of Rites, his duty is to go to the main hall to teach the emperor's grandchildren. Therefore, if there is nothing important in the Ministry of Rites, he does not need to go there at all.

All you need to do is teach the emperor and his grandchildren.

It is very leisurely to teach the emperor and his grandchildren.

If there are no classes, Ye Xuan can basically rest.

It's just an aboveboard paid vacation.

The kind who are not afraid of being questioned.

It's so cool.

*......

Imperial grandson?

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.

When he was teaching the emperor's grandchildren, he didn't say anything too outrageous, right?

It seems like there shouldn't be one, right?

Seeing that Ye Xuan was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped beating around the bush.

He told Ye Xuan directly about Zhu Di's request.

Zhu Di wanted to expand the territory of the vassal state.

Although the vassal state had internal autonomy, it also had to obey the emperor.

The conflict between the vassal king and the emperor was irreconcilable. If Zhu Di was allowed to expand outward, he would have to be given military power, the power of conquest, etc. "The power in the emperor's hands would be reduced."

In order to dominate, the emperor always kept military power firmly in his hands.

Distribute military power to the feudal kings.

It will undoubtedly reduce the emperor's control over the vassal kings and reduce the emperor's power.

If the vassal king sends a large army to rebel, then the emperor will be in trouble.

When vassal kings expand outward, colonize other countries, and command other countries, there are disadvantages and advantages.

The benefits are:

Ming's territory will increase.

The overall strength will become stronger.

"Ye Aiqing, do you think it is feasible for the fourth child to advocate outward expansion and colonize those small foreign countries?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Ye Xuan was stunned.

Is the vassal king expanding outward?

Why does this sound so familiar?

Isn't this what he suggested in class?

Ye Xuan immediately understood that it must be Zhu Gaochi or Zhu Gaoxu who told Zhu Di, and the content of his lectures was learned by Zhu Di.

He was speechless.

Students have not yet applied what they have learned.

On the contrary, it is the parents of the students who apply what they have learned.

It was he who proposed the vassal king's outward expansion, and he would certainly not oppose his own point of view.

So, he replied:

"Your Majesty, I think this is feasible."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Has this kid even thought about it?

Just open your mouth and say yes.

Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized his tone and said:

"If the lord agrees to expand outward, the lord will become stronger."

"Ye Aiqing."

"We are worried that the vassal king will bite back the Ming Dynasty."

This was what worried him most.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that it would be enough for the vassal king to guard the Ming Dynasty.

Expansion can only lead to disaster.

Will cause backlash.

He will pass the throne to Zhu Biao in the future.

As he gets older, he will one day pass away. When he is gone, will Zhu Biao be able to control the vassal kings who are expanding outward and becoming stronger?

Maybe Zhu Biao can, what about Zhu Biao's next emperor?

Can he control the feudal kings who have become stronger?

The Ming Dynasty was conquered by him after years of fighting.

A lifetime of hard work and foundation.

.............

It was impossible for him to risk the dawn in his own hands because of a careless and reckless decision.

He wanted to continue the Ming Dynasty for generations to come.

"Your Majesty, the military and economy of the Ming Dynasty are currently far ahead of the world. Other countries cannot compare to the Ming Dynasty. The same is true for the vassal states. If they want to catch up with the Ming Dynasty, it will take at least several decades."

"Even if the vassal king wants to rebel, he can't resist our Ming Dynasty's cavalry.

"So the emperor doesn't have to worry about this."

"Da Ming is absolutely fine."

No problem for decades.

Ye Xuan added something in his mind.

The Ming Dynasty's military power was indeed terrifying.

Historically, Zhu Di fought for many years, but was always at a disadvantage. The more he fought, the more desperate he became. If it weren't for Dao Yan or Yao Guangxiao who suggested that Zhu Di directly attack Nanjing, Zhu Di would have been defeated by the Ming Dynasty's powerful troops.

.....O

Zhu Di can win.

It's really a trick.

At present, Ming Dynasty's military power and economic strength are the strongest in the world.

Other countries simply can't compare.

The Ming Dynasty was far ahead of other countries, leaving them far behind, creating a huge gap.

without any exaggeration.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was the center of the world.

"Moreover, Your Majesty, if you don't let those feudal kings attack other countries, how can you let them attack the Ming Dynasty and compete for the throne...

"boom!!"

A huge slap sounded on the table.

The table shook slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, his eyes widened and his face full of anger.

What the hell is Ye Xuan talking about?

His purpose of dividing the princes was to allow them to vassal the royal family and guard the country. Moreover, he taught the princes from an early age to be brothers and sisters, to live in harmony and to guard the Ming Dynasty together.

But Ye Xuan opened his mouth and said that the brothers were fighting each other for the throne.

How could this make him not angry?

"Our sons will definitely not kill each other!"

"We have taught them since they were young that they should be respectful and live in harmony with each other. They will neither know nor dare to do such rebellious things."

"And they look up to their big brother."

"If they dare to do such a bastard thing, we will break their legs and chop off their heads!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with murderous aura.

The surrounding temperature dropped instantly.

He knew that the blood and family ties of royal families in the past dynasties were weak, and they would even kill each other for the sake of the throne.

But, he felt that his sons were different.

His son, Zhu Yuanzhang, would never rebel.
