Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Outside the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Biao watched Zhu Yuanzhang showing him a tender look that was rare even for him.

Thinking again, even if he said that he would compete for the crown prince and test the crown prince position for his younger brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Fan, this would obviously greatly anger his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

But his father Zhu Yuanzhang was still not angry with him, let alone kicked him or hit him with a stick.

Instead, she pulled him to the outside of the Wenhua Palace in an extremely rare way, looked at him with a gentle face, and seemed to want to talk to him sincerely.

This made Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel moved. The night wind blew by, and Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly turned red.

"..."

Zhu Biao covered Zhu Yuanzhang's right hand on his shoulder with both hands, and said with a slightly choked tone.

"There is no emperor or prince tonight, just an old father and his silly son chatting."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Biao's other shoulder with his other hand and said with a smile.

"Put it aside for now what Yan Changqing said about "Dragon Slaying Technique" or not."

"We want to hear now why you want to give other younger brothers a chance to take the crown prince position?!"

"Why did we make you the crown prince so early, and why did we make all the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China a member of your crown prince Zhan Shifu, so that your position as crown prince is as stable as Mt. Tai, and why do you let other younger brothers even shake your crown prince? You are not qualified for this position, and you should know the reason why.”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang ask this, Zhu Biao restrained his emotions a little, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously and said:

"The child naturally knew that his father had established the child as the prince early on, and even went so far as to do the unprecedented thing of making all the civil and military officials of the court and the Chinese government a member of the prince Zhan Shifu. Firstly, he wanted stability!"

"I want to ensure that the transfer of power for future generations of the Ming Dynasty can be calm and smooth."

"Secondly, it will prevent future generations from fighting each other for the position of crown prince and crown prince, and prevent courtiers from having to take their positions because of the competition among princes for the crown prince and crown prince, which will ultimately lead to internal strife in the Ming Dynasty."

"Everything is for the harmony of the Tianjia and for the Ming Dynasty to continue to move forward peacefully and stably!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at Zhu Biao's answer and sighed:

"Yes, it is for the sake of harmony between the heavenly family and the stability of the country!!!"

"The issue of succession to the throne of emperor is related to the future destiny of the country. Every change is a turmoil for the government."

"The more princes vying for the position of emperor, the more ministers will take sides due to various interests."

"Once there are more ministers belonging to different princes, it will be easy to divide into different prince factions, and then there will be disputes between different factions!"

"When factions quarrel, then future state affairs will no longer be judged by public sentiment, which is good or bad for the country. Instead, they will be handled based on the interests and gains and losses of each prince's faction!"

"At that time, no matter which prince ascends to the throne of emperor in the end, the factional disputes during this period will consume the country's inherent national strength, and the people below will suffer!"

"And if you want to avoid this situation from happening, the best solution is to establish a prince as early as possible!"

"And turn all the ministers in the court into members of the princelings, so that they lose the opportunity to side with other princes."

"In this way, other princes will not have the desire to compete for the crown prince's position."

"Because no one can compete with the crown prince who has the support of the emperor and the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty!!!"

"Naturally, we can avoid the tragedy of fratricide."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, looked at Zhu Biao seriously and said:

"So, if you can't give me a real reason to convince me.

"Then, I will not agree to what you promised in front of your brothers before."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was calm, but serious.

If Zhu Biao didn't give him a reason that could completely convince him, then he would not agree to Zhu Biao's previous promise in front of Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan, and let Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan go to the Wenhua Palace with Zhu Biao to supervise the country. Matters of auxiliary administration.

Because such a move itself represents the shaking of Zhu Biao's position as prince, it will send the wrong signal to other important officials in the court, causing them to have some inappropriate thoughts about taking sides.

After all, as long as the benefits given and obtained are large enough, even if the important officials of the court are all members of Prince Zhan Shifu, they may betray Prince Zhu Biao and join the camp of other princes.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Biao had already prepared a draft and immediately answered:

"Sometimes, if you can't fight for some things, you won't want to fight for them."

"Just like Brother Chen and Brother Fan, I have always known about their thoughts on the position of crown prince."

"It's just like what my father said before, except for my father, no one can shake my position as the prince, and no one can compete with me for the position of the prince!"

"So even if Brother Chen and Brother Fan have their thoughts on the position of crown prince in the end, I am confident that I will be able to defeat Brother Brother and Brother Ke without a fight."

"In the end, while letting them lose the idea of ​​competing for the crown prince position, we will still preserve the friendship between our brothers and not harm the lives of Brother Chen and Brother Fan.

"This is what I thought and did before listening to the lecture on "Dragon Slaying Technique" today."

"If Brother Chen and Brother Fan hadn't gone to listen to the lecture on "Dragon Slaying Technique" with me today, then there wouldn't be any problem with my idea and approach."

"But it's a pity that today, Brother Chen and Brother Fan went with me to listen to the "Dragon Slaying Technique" taught by Mr. Yan!"

"The "Dragon Slaying Technique" can really slay dragons! It can shake the power of the emperor!!!"

Having said this, Zhu Biao also had a wry smile on his face.

Sometimes things change really faster than planned.

"My father has also read the "Dragon Slaying Technique" taught by Mr. Yan. Among them, if Mr. Yan's [Distortion of the Supreme Meaning] and [Representation of the Supreme Meaning] are used well, Chendi and Fandi, as vassal kings, will completely It is not difficult to control the three guards of the feudal lord and steal part of the Emperor's Fist."

"With part of the Emperor's Fist, there will be a foundation for rebellion in the future!"

"And with the reluctance in their hearts, even if they know that the success of the rebellion is very low, in the end they will probably give it a try just because of the reluctance in their hearts!"

"No matter what the outcome is, what will ultimately be consumed is Ming's own national power!"

Having said this, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang whose lips were about to move, as if he had guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say. He put his hands on the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's hands and sighed:

"Does father want to abolish the status of feudal lords like Brother Jin and Brother Hong?!!"

"In this way, Brother Chen and Brother Fan will have no chance or strength to rebel in the future?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but there was indeed this meaning in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Biao.

For the sake of Zhu Biao, and for the future peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, he could be ruthless enough to abolish the status of Zhu Cang and Zhu Fan as vassal kings.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao let out a long sigh. He had guessed that his father would have such thoughts.

"Even if you can depose Brother Chen and Brother Di, can you still destroy Brother Di, Brother Ji, Brother Zhen and Brother Di together?!!"

"Brothers Chen and Fan were not the only ones who listened to the "Dragon-Slaying Technique" being taught. The other imperial brothers also listened to the "Dragon-Slaying Technique" taught by Mr. Yan."

"If my father wants to deprive them of their status as feudal lords in order to prevent them from rebelling in the future, then he must also deprive them of their status as feudal lords.

"After all, Di Di and Ji Di, who have listened to the lecture on "Dragon Slaying Technique", although they have not shown such thoughts now, it does not mean that they will not have such thoughts in the future!"

"Whether they have the idea of ​​​​rebellion or not, but when they have the ability to rebel, for the emperor, this itself is a potential risk, isn't it?!!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, met Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, did not dodge or avoid, and confessed his thoughts without any hesitation.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that he might not know much about Zhu Biao in the past.

Just Zhu Biao's last sentence is enough to show that Zhu Biao has his own understanding of the emperor's way and the emperor's mind, and it is not a shallow understanding!

"Father, I am not the only son you have!"

"Brothers Chen and Fan are also your sons!!"

"How can I bear to watch you give up all your other sons for one of my sons, and let the child lose all his other brothers?!!"

"If that's the case, then my child, my child will rebel against you...

At the end, Zhu Biao was half joking but serious.

After all, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Shu were all brought up by him as half sons and half brothers, and the eldest brother was like a father!

When it comes to the feelings for these younger brothers, they are naturally extremely deep.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out the hand that was on Zhu Biao's shoulder, turned around and looked at the night stars in front of the Wenhua Hall, holding his hands on the railings, feeling both happy and relieved, but also melancholy and helpless and said:

"If Fan'er and Fan'er knew that your eldest brother was willing to rebel against us for their sake, I don't know if they would be able to let go of their unwillingness!"

Although Zhu Biao said that he would rebel against him for the sake of his other brothers, Zhu Yuanzhang was even happier when he heard this [and at the same time, he was more determined that Zhu Jiao must be his future son.

Because only Zhu Biao was the emperor, other vassal princes and princes could live well without being jealous and suppressed by the emperor.
