Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, went too smoothly on this road without Lao Zhu’s encouragement.
So Zhi Zhu Ying is obviously not as good as Ying Qi in this area.
After being cleaned up by Lao Zhu, Zhan Hui quickly bowed respectfully and left.
After Zhan Hui withdrew,
Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson, his expression a little embarrassed and his voice lowered a lot.
He laughed twice in a flattering manner,
asked,
"Grandson, do you think grandpa's punishment is too harsh?
Are you dissatisfied with grandpa and think we are a murderous person? "
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, he waved his hands quickly,
said,
“Grandpa, my grandson doesn’t think so at all.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the government was in turmoil and people were starving everywhere.
If the Fa is not respected, the world will be divided again.
It was my grandfather's use of heavy codes in troubled times that stabilized the Ming Dynasty.
But now that the situation has changed, Sun'er just feels that corporal punishment is not that effective anymore.
Laws that used to focus on establishing authority should now focus more on enlightenment.
Different times, using different methods,
How can a grandson stand on his grandfather's shoulders and still say that what his grandfather did more than ten years ago was wrong?
Isn't this the same as carving a boat and seeking a sword? "
Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely good when he heard Zhu Xiongying's words.
Lao Zhu instantly beamed again,
He grinned and said,
"After all, our eldest grandson still understands us.
Under the circumstances, Grandpa had no choice but to do that.
Grandpa can only be a villain.
Facts have proved that our method is still effective.
But it’s true as you said, now our Ming Dynasty is in peace and prosperity,
It is indeed inappropriate to continue to use harsh corporal punishment.
During the heyday of the Wenjing Dynasty, punishments were relaxed. We think that corporal punishment should indeed be abolished. "
Zhu Xiongying nodded heavily and said,
"That's what grandpa said."
Zhu Yuanzhang's smooth-haired donkey was stroked along the hair by Zhu Xiongying, and he immediately became a staunch supporter of the abolition of corporal punishment.
"Grandson, what you said is that everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
Grandpa has grown up and made countless mistakes.
You shouldn't have your hands and feet chopped off just because of a little mistake.
This is indeed a bit much,
OK!
Then grandpa will leave this matter to you. This is a good opportunity to accumulate fame! "
Zhu Xiongying heard this,
A warm current flashed through my heart,
Grandpa was like this. No matter what opportunity he had to show his face, win over people's hearts, or increase his reputation, he gave it to himself.
I would rather be a bad person myself than set up my grandson as the Holy King.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes flashed slightly,
said,
"Grandpa~"
Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xiongying's hand and patted it.
He said passionately,
"Big grandson~"
If this scene is seen by others,
I'm afraid I'll be so numb that I'll get goosebumps all over my body.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about this.
We just like our eldest grandson, what does that have to do with you?
Why don’t our own eldest grandson care about it anymore?

prairie western frontier
Zhu Di pulled off the cloth from his face.
Five years have passed,
Zhu Di's face is obviously more mature,
And after time, Zhu Di's eyes shone with wisdom,
Ever since the third brother was transferred by his eldest nephew to guard the border of the new grassland,
The third and fourth children cooperated extremely well.
One person is responsible for guarding the west, and one person is responsible for guarding the north.
Before winter, the two of them walked in two directions like sheepdogs,
One goes east and the other goes south, driving the herdsmen back to Yanland.
The north guarded by the third brother is a bitter cold land with extremely low climate.
The third child also gave himself the most difficult task and volunteered to defend the northern border.
But neither the third child nor the fourth child expected that the most dangerous border is in the west.
The new western boundary line of the Ming Dynasty directly bordered the Timurid Empire and the Kipchak Khanate.
In the past, the Northern Yuan regime bordered these two countries. The Ming Dynasty knew little about the situation in these two countries.
But since Zhu Di guarded the western border, he also started to have contact with people from these two countries.
I have to admit,
These two countries are behemoths far superior to Beiyuan!
Bei Yuan has stayed in the Central Plains for too long, and the instinct of the nomadic fighting people has been almost worn away.
The Timur Empire and the Kipchak Khanate are different.
They never stopped fighting,
The eldest nephew also wrote clearly to tell himself that he must not underestimate these two countries.
Compared with them, Beiyuan is like a child facing an adult.
The Timur Empire is a country composed of Central Asian Turks. It has not yet reached its heyday.
During the heyday of the Timurid Empire, it swept across the world-famous Persian and Ottoman Empires.
It was truly invincible, dominated Central Asia for two hundred years, and finally perished in civil strife.
The Kipchak Khanate is dominated by Mongolians. It is a khanate that was separated from the Golden Clan during the Golden Clan period. Its specific combat effectiveness is unknown, but it is definitely stronger than the Beiyuan people.
Zhu Di really knew very little about these two countries.
but,
Zhu Di was extremely cautious and tried every possible means to get information about these two countries.
Zhu Di rubbed his chin, which was covered with hard stubble.
Although the western border is not as cold as the northern border, it is much colder than the Central Plains.
Zhu Di could clearly feel through his body that it was getting colder and colder.
Lowering the temperature is definitely not a good thing.
"call!"
Zhu Di took a long breath, and the breath he exhaled was white.
Zhu Di turned around and picked up a pot of hot milk tea from the stove, poured it into a cup, blew it to cool it slightly, and drank it directly.
After drinking the hot milk tea, Zhu Di's body recovered a little.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as Zhu Di put down his cup, a voice came over,
Zhang Yu strode into the yurt with the cold air hitting his face.
Zhang Yu's face was full of anger. Seeing this, Zhu Di poured him a cup of milk tea.
said,
"Let's have a cup of hot drink first, and then we'll talk slowly. Is there something going on with the herdsmen?"
Although farming and animal husbandry have been integrated for five years,
But after all, there are still differences in lifestyles, and everyone has different ways of thinking, so it is inevitable that there will be some minor frictions.
But these things are not serious.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhang Yu took the tea cup and drank it.
shook his head,
said,
“Your Highness, something big has happened!
The group of horses we wanted to transport back to the Central Plains were all robbed! "
"What?!"
When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't sit still at all, and immediately stood up and slapped the table.
"Our horse was robbed?!"
Zhu Di's voice was full of horror,
I can't even believe it,
Someone actually dared to snatch Ming Dynasty's horse. How brave is this? !
This group of horses was carefully selected by Zhu Di and prepared to go to Beijing to offer to his eldest nephew.
It is no exaggeration to say,
Every horse picked out is a thousand-mile horse! They are all worth thousands of gold!
And how come there are hundreds of horses in the entire herd, and these horses were immediately robbed?
Is this okay? !
Zhu Di's face showed a look of anger that he hadn't seen for a long time. He put on his felt cloak, picked up his sword, and strode out of the yurt.
Leng shouted,
"Call someone to kill!"
