Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Fengtian Temple.

Early morning.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"The princes are at peace."

"Long live thanks!"

After the simple ceremony between the monarch and his ministers, the ministers stood up.

Standing in front of them, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu shrank their necks as much as possible to keep themselves low-key so as not to be implicated by Wu Wu...

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers and frowned slightly. The atmosphere in the court was indescribable...

Strange!

cough!

With a slight cough, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything you want to start?"

"I have something to report!" Hu Weiyong, the prime minister on the right side of the book, responded loudly with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"allow!"

After receiving permission, Hu Weiyong stepped out of the queue, stood still, and glanced at Xu Da, who was temporarily acting as Zhongshu, Prime Minister Zuo...

"First light a fire in the emperor's heart and heat up the situation. When Zhu Di's marriage is revealed, it will be very lively, right?"

Hu Weiyong sneered in his heart and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, spring plowing is coming soon. Reports from many places have been reported, and frequent escapes have occurred in the guard station."

"I dare not make any arbitrary judgments. Please ask His Majesty for a holy judgment."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned slightly dark.

Guard escape!

Another guard escape!

Since the establishment of the guard system, in just a few years, reports of escapes have occurred frequently.

Isn’t it good to integrate soldiers with farmers?

The imperial court raised millions of soldiers without costing the common people a grain of rice.

Raising troops and launching wars will not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people. ♦♢

In a military family, military literacy is passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, from generation to generation, which can also ensure the inheritance of military combat effectiveness.

The military households had a heavy burden, but he also took it into consideration and compensated them.

Give more land and exempt from labor service.

Military families have an easier path to promotion than ordinary people. As long as they perform meritorious service on the battlefield, they can be rewarded and promoted to a higher position.

Why are the military households at the garrison so resistant to such a policy that benefits people's livelihood, strengthens the army, and does not harm military households and soldiers? It is the best of both worlds.

As the Ming Emperor.

The Wei system was one of the foundations of the Ming Dynasty.

How could he treat thousands of military households harshly and destroy the Great Wall?

he……

Worked as a farmer.

He also served as a top soldier.

He knew the hardships of being a farmer and a big-headed soldier. When the guard system was first established, he combined his own experience and put himself in the shoes of military households and made thorough considerations.

Eliminate servitude, provide more land, and provide channels for promotion.

He put himself in the shoes of thousands of military households and thought of a person, a family, the capital to get rich, and the channels for development.

I gave them all too!

Why aren't they satisfied?

If the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty was willing to give these things like him, he would not be forced to rebel at the risk of losing his head.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his grievance and anger and asked: "Am I not good to military households?"

"Have there been any emperors in the past dynasties who put themselves in the shoes of soldiers and considered them as much as I do?"

"Who will tell me why they are resisting?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were searching and searching, and all the officials lowered their heads to avoid him.

In silence...

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly clenched his fists.

This problem has become so serious that all localities have begun to hand over the discounts to the central government!

But the civil and military officials of the dynasty he raised were so superior that no one was willing to stoop down and go to the military household to ask why they were resisting?

Corpse meal! What a fool! Still shameless!

Snapped!

The sound of violent slaps on the case came from the Long Court. Hu Weiyong trembled, raised the corners of his lips, and secretly said that the heat of the scene was enough, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, people's hearts have been weak and snakes swallow elephants. These escaping military households are just... It’s just that I have to look forward to Shu.”

"Shut up!" Zhu Yuanzhang was completely angry.

What Hu Weiyong and his family said was clearly just nonsense to fool him!

Have to go to Long to look at Shu?

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant?

This is definitely not a small-people mentality!

new

If a court does not mess around and allows the common people to live in peace, then they will be satisfied. If they can live a little more prosperously, they will be grateful to the court!

"Have you forgotten that Zeng Jin is also a fool!" Zhu Yuanzhang showed no mercy, pointed at Hu Weiyong, and angrily scolded: "We are not the kind of nobles who were born to be emperors. We understand the mentality of the common people better than you!"

"Fool us! You, Zhongshu Youcheng, don't want to do this anymore!"

"Do you want to be the second Yang Ni?"

Hu Weiyong's face turned pale.

Yang Ni...

It was Yang Xian, the former Zhongshu Zuocheng.

Or was he...

Killed with my own hands!

The fire went too far and spread to himself.

"Check! Check it out for me! What is the reason that caused the military household to escape? If the problem is found, the Central Secretary will correct it in time!"

"Prince!"

Zhu Biao responded solemnly: "My son is here!"

"You will keep an eye on this matter personally."

Hu Weiyong's face turned even paler and he ordered the prince to personally supervise. This showed that the emperor did not trust him.

If you don't trust me, this is...

Red flag!

After Zhu Biao accepted the order, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently.

Hu Weiyong did not dare to defend himself, so he retreated to the rank of civil servants in embarrassment and glanced at Lu Ben...

In order to warm up the field and to cause trouble for the emperor, he paid such a high price, so he should have gained something, right?

The fire in the emperor's heart is so strong. If it is stimulated again, will it anger Xu Da?

Removing Xu Da from the post of left prime minister?

In contrast, Hu Weiyong has a strong desire to get his money back.

The officials who were watching the excitement changed their attention now. While peeping at Lu Ben, they secretly prayed that Lu Ben would not cause trouble.

The emperor was angry.

It's like thunder in the sky, maybe it's the head!

Zhu Di was not in front of him again.

What if this thunder hits everyone?

Lu Ben felt the gazes projected in the dark, lowered his eyebrows and frowned, and remained silent.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.

Yesterday, I complained to the emperor during the day, but was exposed by the prince.

That night, he was called to the East Palace by the prince.

The prince reprimanded him in front of the prince's concubine.

The prince's concubine is his daughter!

The prince's hint was very clear, he was disgusted with his behavior, and this disgust could be transferred to the prince's concubine.

Protecting the interests of the prince is essentially to protect the interests of the Lu family.

If the daughter is harmed by the prince, will she have to pay for it?

From now on, if we step on Zhu Di, we will have to be more gloomy and darker.

In the future, if anyone dares to say that the prince is only benevolent and does not understand politics, he will be the first to kill him.

this……

Don’t understand the art of power?

So understanding!

Not only did he see through his true purpose of stepping on Zhu Di, but if he didn't take action, he would penetrate him seven inches straight!

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the ministers were silent, he softened his tone and asked, "Is there anything else to say?"

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly: "We hope that you will not be arrogant. We give you high officials and generous salaries in the hope that you can become our arms."

"If something like this happens again, we hope you will lean down, get in touch with the problem, investigate the problem, investigate the problem clearly, and give us feedback..."

…

After Zhu Yuanzhang took the trouble to reveal his true feelings, the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed their stance.

"Your Majesty's words will be kept in mind."

"I am ashamed to trust Your Majesty."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang then nodded with satisfaction, "Since there is nothing to do, then retreat..."

"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

Just when the ministers were happy when they heard the word "retire", Lan Yu suddenly jumped out and shouted: "I want to congratulate your majesty..."

The faces of the ministers who were already ready to kneel turned dark instantly.

Hu Weiyong's secret joy flashed away and he looked at Lan Yu...
