What does it mean to take it for granted and what does it mean to be confident?
Chu Ze's tone at this time can be said to clearly explain the meaning of these two words.
The eyes are full of awe-inspiring aura, and the chest is infinitely magnanimous!
Not a single word or punctuation mark in what he said was a lie. At this time, Chu Ze's tone and demeanor were very natural.
But it was his confident attitude that made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes seem to burst into flames.
He was born as a common man and walked step by step to become the emperor he is today. One of Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest wishes is that the territory he has conquered can be protected by his descendants for generations to come.
However, when he turned around, he heard that the foundation he had laid had perished in less than two hundred years!
To be honest, this was far different from what he expected.
Let’s not talk about the foundation of everything. It will last forever for thousands of generations. There are not even twenty generations before and after this...
The speed of the Ming Dynasty's demise simply exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How could the Ming Dynasty of our old Zhu family perish so quickly! Are you lying?"
"Your Majesty... Do you think that a dying man came to the main hall just to deceive you for fun, right... Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, take a closer look at all the dynasties. How many of them are more than three hundred years old?"
"This is a reincarnation in history. As strong as the Han Dynasty and as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, which one can survive three hundred years?"
"That is to say, the Song Dynasty had better luck and barely passed the 300-year limit. However, it only lasted for 19 more years and eventually perished."
"Ming, what do you think can surpass them?"
"..."
If Zhu Yuanzhang was still extremely convinced that Chu Ze was lying to him.
Now, he could no longer find a reason to refute.
After all, if he was asked to tell how the Ming Dynasty at this time was stronger than the Han, Tang, and Song Dynasties before it, he really couldn't tell.
But if he was to admit that his Ming Dynasty would be destroyed in just over two hundred years, Zhu Yuanzhang could not accept this fact.
For a moment, the silence that had just been broken fell again.
And this time, the atmosphere was far more depressing than last time.
But this time, Chu Ze didn't want this silence to continue.
He is very busy, and he is waiting for one of them to die and then see if he can wear it again.
Where do you have time to fool around here?
"Actually, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. Worrying is useless anyway."
"The ancestral precepts that you formulated for family support are basically implemented faithfully by your descendants. Well, I forgot which generation of emperor it was. Anyway, it seems that when the war came later, the emperor's treasury ran out of money, and he knelt on the ground. I beg some clan ministers to give money to support the army."
"In the end, no one seemed to care about him."
"And the fact that the late Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it was not entirely man-made, there were also natural disasters."
"It seems that according to historical records, in the late Ming Dynasty, there was drought, locust plagues, and plagues all over the country, with tens of millions of casualties!"
"In addition, various vassal princes and princes have enclosed land for self-support, and the land annexation situation is serious. It seems that the most famous one is called King Fu, and the area of enclosure has reached the point where it is larger than that of a province."
"People have lost their land, but they still have to pay all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. There are many people who exchange their children for food, and eat Guanyin soil to bloat their stomachs."
"If you really do it, the wine and meat of the rich family will stink, and the bones will freeze to death on the road."
"The Ming Dynasty started with a broken bowl and ended with a hemp rope. It can be regarded as having a beginning and an end."
"At least, in the early days of your dynasty, many legends were created. For example, five dragons dynasty together. This is the only prosperous era in history."
"So, actually, you don't have to blame yourself too much."
"...."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already extremely depressed, felt as uncomfortable as adding salt to the wound when he heard Chu Ze's words.
Our Ming Dynasty is dead with one mouthful of yours.
And now you're telling us not to blame ourselves too much?
What do we blame ourselves for?
We feel uncomfortable now, okay?
Zhu Yuanzhang, who devoted himself to the continuation of the Ming Dynasty, could not accept the most, that the foundation he had built with his own hands was destroyed.
However, as the saying goes, whatever you fear will come.
You keep telling us with certainty that our old Zhu family’s empire is dead...
How could this make Zhu Yuanzhang feel better!
And what Zhu Yuanzhang found most unacceptable was what Chu Ze said about the future generations of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself became the figure he is today because he suffered from the oppression of corrupt officials step by step.
But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that the boy who slayed the dragon would eventually become an evil dragon.
The descendants of his old Zhu family also became the incompetent and mediocre people he hated most. The court of his old Zhu family eventually became a piece of rotten wood.
Such a result can be said to be what Zhu Yuanzhang is least willing to accept and least willing to see.
"Things that will happen more than two hundred years later cannot be interfered by by those of us who are alive now. Father, even if we have learned about this matter now, all we can do is to check for the omissions and leave a warning for the future. people."
"Father, there are indeed flaws in the clan's support. Haven't we already discovered this?"
"What happens in the future is just a warning to us today! We still have a chance, and Ming Dynasty also has a chance!"
At this time, Zhu Biao also saw the complicated look in his father's eyes. As he opened his mouth to enlighten Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao's eyes gradually became firmer.
As the prince, it is also one of his responsibilities to protect loyal and talented people.
It was also what his mother always taught him to do.
Therefore, when Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze at this time, there was more kindness in his eyes.
This young man who calls himself a time traveler, no matter whether he really comes from the future or not.
Zhu Biaodu decided to keep him.
This person has a long-term vision, speaks in a measured manner, and has quite novel insights.
For Ming Dynasty, it may be a rare talent.
However, what troubled Zhu Biao most at this time was this guy's attitude of wanting to die.
If he used words to stimulate his father again... Zhu Biao didn't dare to say that he could really protect him.
"Let's not mention this for now... Chu Ze, let's ask you, since you come from the future, let's not ask you what will happen in the next few days. Let me ask you, what will I do in the future! You As long as you tell me one thing that is consistent with what I am thinking at this time, I will tentatively believe that you are indeed from the future!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was brutal and murderous.
But he is not mediocre. On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang's methods are very powerful and his scheming is extremely deep.
If Chu Ze is really a time traveler from later generations, then its importance goes without saying.
But the premise is that he has to show proof!
