I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 20 Your grandson has the style of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Walking out of the house, Yao Guangxiao saw a scene that stunned him.

At the foot of the steps at the door, a young man in brocade robes was holding a large pancake in one hand and a bowl of broth in the other.

While eating and drinking, talking and laughing with the guard next to him.

"Like...it's just too similar."

Yao Guangxiao had seen this picture before.

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time that year, he was wearing a dragon robe, eating flatbread, drinking broth, talking and laughing with the guards next to him.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang, Yao Guangxiao's heart trembled slightly.

When that old man was alive, none of the vassal princes and ministers in the entire Ming Dynasty dared to get distracted.

Don't look at the other party who opens his mouth and shuts his mouth like an old farmer. He talks to ordinary people and ordinary guards in a harmonious manner.

But the one who killed someone would definitely make everyone terrified.

Even the most exaggerated stages.

Many ministers will make a will before going to court, and ask their families to prepare the coffin in case of emergency.

"Hey, Master Yao, you're here, come here, and eat some of the meatloaf broth that was just delivered."

Zhu Zhangui, who was chatting with the guards, saw the bald Yao Guangxiao coming out, and quickly extended his hand to greet him.

After Yao Guangxiao came to him, he squatted down like him.

Zhu Zhangui enthusiastically served a bowl of hot soup, and handed a meat pie to Yao Guangxiao.

Looking at the broth and pancake stuffed into his hand, Yao Guangxiao couldn't laugh or cry.

"His Royal Highness, the poor monk is a monk."

"What about being a monk?"

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, took a bite of the big meatloaf, and squatted beside Yao Guangxiao.

"Isn't the saying right?"

"The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart remains."

"As long as you have a Buddha in your heart, everyone in the world is a Buddha."

Yao Guangxiao was stunned.

He did not expect Zhu Zhangui to have such a thorough understanding of Buddhism at such a young age.

He glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who was biting into the oil pancake and his mouth was full of oil.

Yao Guangxiao took a sip of the broth and took a bite of the pancake.

"His Royal Highness, Second Emperor, also likes Buddhism."

Chewing lightly on the meaty taste that he hadn't tasted for a long time, Yao Guangxiao started to communicate.

Dried the broth in the bowl in one gulp, raised the sleeve of brocade clothes and wiped his mouth casually, Zhu Zhangui said to Yao Guangxiao meaningfully: "I am very practical, I like what is useful to me, and it is useless to me." Yes, that's garbage."

"Whether it's Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or Legalism, military strategist, and strategist. As long as whoever can make my Ming Dynasty strong, allow the people of Ming Dynasty to gain practical benefits, and protect my future generations from being bullied by foreign enemies, I like whoever. "

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Zhangui deeply.

This kid is real.

But as the ruler of an empire, this kind of truth is needed.

I don't care how you boast about it, as long as it can make my country strong and my people happy and healthy, that's what I need.

If you can't, then you're a bunch of useless junk.

"His Royal Highness Second Emperor, can you accompany the old monk for a walk?"

Zhu Zhangui nodded with a smile, and followed the old monk to the back mountain.

The two didn't talk all the way, and they didn't stop until they reached the cliff of the back mountain.

"Your Highness Second Emperor, what do you think of Daming's past and future?"

Looking at the mountains in the distance, he invited Zhu Zhangui to sit cross-legged, and the old monk started the first step of observation.

"How do you say this?"

Zhu Zhangui thought for a while, not knowing where to start.

"His Royal Highness speaks freely, and the old monk listens freely. There are only you and me here. Today's conversation has passed through your mouth and into my ears. No three people will know."

"The old man asked you to come and test me!"

"Hehe, His Highness can also think the same way. The old monk is also very curious about you and wants to communicate with you."

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly, and said no more.

Zhu Zhangui understands that the old man is already thinking about changing people.

The old monk came to talk to him, which was to observe and test himself, so as to provide advice for the old man to make a final judgment.

"Daming is the most righteous country since ancient times. It is very powerful, but it is also very dangerous."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhangui answered.

For this answer, the old monk became interested, and looked at Zhu Zhangui curiously: "How do you say it?"

Zhu Zhangui smiled, picked up a handful of small stones, threw them down, and replied: "Looking at the history of China for thousands of years, the general trend of the world is divided and combined, and dynasties have risen and fallen. Qin, Han, Jin , Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming, the history of the founding of the country was very different. The history of the founding of the country was very different. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, but he violated the superior and took the rule of the emperor of Zhou. There is also the post of pavilion chief, who eats the imperial salary, and it can be said that he is a rebellious minister. The Sima family in the Jin Dynasty, as officials of Cao Wei, forced Wei Yuandi to abdicate, which was conspiracy. The Sui Dynasty was originally the same root as the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Li Yuan raised troops to destroy the Sui Dynasty, and the rebellion usurped the throne. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled and ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols took control of the Central Plains, but it was a foreign invasion.”

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhangui stood up and proudly said: "Only my Ming Dynasty is the dynasty that expelled the Tartars, restored the clothes of the Han family, and allowed the oppressed Chinese children to stand up again."

Looking down at Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Zhangui said seriously: "That's why I said that my Ming Dynasty is the most upright dynasty in history."

"My great-grandfather's achievements are comparable to those of Emperor Qin and Han Wu."

"Whoa!"

In the woods in the distance, there was a sudden movement, as if something had been touched.

Zhu Zhangui and Yao Guangxiao, who were sitting on the edge of the cliff, seemed not to have heard them, immersed in what they just said.

After a long time, Yao Guangxiao sighed with emotion.

"Your Highness's words are correct. The merits of Taizu are not inferior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu."

Also sighed with emotion, Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Zhangui and continued to ask: "I know that it is strong. Daming is well equipped, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and the four enemies are subdued. I don't know where the danger His Highness said came from?"

"Danger."

Zhu Zhangui was silent for a moment, "The danger I'm talking about actually comes from within us. To be precise, since my great-grandfather formulated the guard system, household registration system, and tax system, the root of this danger has been Buried."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Zhangui in surprise.

In fact, he had already been aware of this danger, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to change the rules even if he told Zhu Di about them.

After all, Zhu Di was born as a rebel, and the reason for fighting at the beginning was that Zhu Yunqi changed the law of his ancestors.

If Zhu Di wanted to change, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

Therefore, Zhu Diming knows the hidden dangers of these systems, and can only do his best to make them perfect, and will not change them.

Noticing Yao Guangxiao's expression, Zhu Zhangui also sighed helplessly.

With Zhu Di's great talent and general plan, and Yao Guangxiao's wisdom like a monster, how could he not see this.

Even many ministers in the court have seen this.

But they are powerless to change.

The saying that the law of the ancestors cannot be changed will crush them to death.

"Does Your Highness want to change all this?"

Zhu Zhangui glanced at the old monk, got up and looked at the mountains in the distance, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.

"Let this generation complete the affairs of this generation, and don't leave troubles, difficulties and dangers to future generations, or they will scold their mothers in their hearts when they burn incense."

"For the sake of future generations, for the thousands of people in Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of our Han family's bloodline will never be cut off."

Zhu Zhangui looked back at a grove not far away, and shouted loudly:
"I want to change all of this. No matter what the future outcome is, at least I have worked hard. Either I will be supremely brilliant and become a great Ming forever, or I will be ruined and be reviled and accused."
