Those who regard Lao Zhu as a fool are the real fools.
There is nothing in this palace that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know about.
The reason why he was deceived by Zhu Yu was because of his trust in his two sons.
What Zhu Jun said at the beginning was very clear and logical, about implanting steel plates in the legs and about recovery, which convinced him, a little old man.
At that time, he was just a father who was afraid that his son would die.
But later, when Zhu Yu lost feeling in his legs and didn't even know he was going to the toilet, he understood that Zhu Yu was paralyzed.
But he still had a glimmer of luck.
Now more than a year has passed, and Zhu Yu's legs have not improved at all, and his luck is finally gone.
My son, who never liked using sachets, rarely used sachets to cover up his body odor. He knew that he had to make preparations early.
Zhu Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said calmly: "I have no idea, actually it's good to be a prince.
Dad, in fact, I am willing to train soldiers and govern the people, all for the sake of big brother. Do you believe it? "
"Believe it!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and told Zhu Jun to use his own money to handle court affairs and deal with various hidden problems in the court. It can be seen that he has no selfish motives.
"Actually, the vassal king of Daye is the happiest. I have read a lot of books these days. No vassal king in any dynasty has such power and freedom.
But Dad, the great cause will eventually be dragged down by our own people. One day, after the Ming Dynasty is unified, we will start to cut down the vassals.
Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty is unified, I will hand over the military power to the court and then become an idle prince in the fiefdom. " Zhu Jun said.
The system of Daye is 70% to 80% similar to that of Ming Dynasty, especially the vassal system, which will definitely harm Daye in the future.
The most important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the Little Ice Age, plus various unlucky things that came together. But what was more important than these was internal friction.
Because the Ming Dynasty truly turned the world into the Zhu family's world.
"Cutting the feudal clan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "Is this your own intention?"
"Dad, it is always a good wish for the vassal king to control Jiubian. You can naturally control it when you are here, but one day if you are no longer around, my eldest brother will naturally be able to control it.
But now that my eldest brother is in such a bad shape, it’s hard to say whether he can be controlled if it reaches his eldest nephew! "Zhu Jun said: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. In fact, cutting down the feudal clan is nothing to me. With the status of a prince, I will enjoy endless glory and wealth in my life.
Power is with me like a cloud.
My biggest wish is to spend this life peacefully, happily and stably! "
If this had happened in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would have scolded him for having no ambition.
But now he couldn't say it, because what Zhu Jun said was too realistic, and he knew very well in his heart that the feudal king's border defense was just a good wish.
He just doesn't trust other people and is afraid that they will hold heavy troops and support themselves.
The meat rotting in the pot was his true thought.
As Zhu Jun said, one day, the world will be unified, and the vassal kings who guard the borders will inevitably become a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh.
It is inevitable to cut down the feudal clan.
"You are in good health and you will have no problem living for twenty or thirty years. In these years, you have unified the world and solved the problems that need to be solved.
When the time comes and an order is given, everyone must obediently hand over their military power, and there will be no bloodshed in the reduction of the vassal state.
When the time comes, you will hand over the power to my eldest brother or my eldest nephew, and everyone will be happy. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently.
"Help me more, brother, we will always get older day by day!" After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to bend down and pull weeds.
"Hey, okay!" Zhu Jun nodded, "But Dad, I think you should give in as soon as possible and let my eldest brother come up and make my eldest nephew the crown prince. When my eldest nephew reaches the crown, let my eldest brother give in.
How wonderful it would be to have three emperors in the Ming Dynasty.
With you watching, my eldest brother can rest more. My eldest nephew has been smart since he was a child. With the support of you two, he will definitely not go astray.
The great cause will surely stand at the top of the world! "
Zhu Yuanzhang really thought this was a good idea, but it was a pity that Zhu Yu did not agree. If Zhu Yu agreed, he would give in tomorrow.
"In order to help your eldest brother and eldest nephew, you don't even want me?" Zhu Yuanzhang said deliberately.
"Dad, what you said is unreasonable. It's you who asked me to help my eldest brother. I came up with the idea, but you're not happy with it." Zhu Jun threw all the weeds in his hand into the small lake, and soon a group of The fish rush to devour it.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, but he was very happy in his heart. If it were anyone else who asked him to give in, he would kill him.
But Zhu Jun didn't think so, "You try harder and see if you can get your eldest brother to stand up. If not, wait until we defeat Meng Yuan and then surrender to your eldest brother."
He used to think that after the world was unified, he would abdicate to Zhu Yu. At that time, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he would still be put in the Jinluan Palace.
But unifying the world may not be that fast now, and Zhu Jun's words today also reminded him.
Zhu Yu's body is not as good as before, so he needs to make more preparations.
"also!"
The father and son just asked and answered questions like this, and they were very harmonious.
I worked until evening to pull out the grass in the vegetable fields in the imperial garden.
After having dinner in the palace in the evening, he slowly left the palace.
The news that the crown prince and second concubine was demoted spread out of the palace. The reason for the demotion was that Lu Shide was not worthy of the position and did not mention the donation of medicine.
Otherwise, someone will impeach her the next day, and Lu will die.
When Lu Ben received the news, he was completely confused.
What's going on?
In just a few days, my daughter has changed from the crown prince and second concubine to an ordinary concubine?
This difference would mean a huge difference in treatment in the palace.
Could it be because of the issue of gathering a crowd for impeachment?
Ruben was so angry.
He was on duty in the palace, but he didn't know much, and he felt like a headless fly.
He took a deep breath and went to the Fengtian Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. Regardless of what his daughter had done wrong, he, as a father, was definitely indispensable for his goddaughter.
He wanted to admit his mistake first, but he didn't even enter the door of Fengtian Palace.
He was blasted away.
Lu Ben was even more panicked.
What does this mean?
Did her daughter do something wrong that cannot be forgiven?
He doesn't want to lose those things now. Without the status of the crown prince and second concubine, Zhu Yingwen's status will plummet. What can he use to fight against his grandson?
He spent a lot of money and asked many people, but he didn't get anything useful. He only knew that there was a hush-hush order from above.
Reveal half a word and die!
This made Lu Ben even more panicked.
"Daughter, you must not do anything stupid!" Lu Ben thought in his heart, and hurriedly walked towards the East Palace.
But the result is the same.
He was directly turned away by the guards of the East Palace, and he was not even qualified to enter!
It's over, it's over now.
His daughter must have made some big mistake to be like this!
