Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 694 Patriarchal Power and Imperial Power

The surname in this world is Zhu!

Zhu Qiyuan, Zhu Kai felt thoughtful after listening.

The father and son looked at each other, and they already understood how to treat their eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji is all about restoring the Changsun family, and the family is huge, and the imperial power must be damaged, especially in this era where strength is the most important thing.

If one day the power of the Changsun family expands to the point where it can influence the direction of the world, will the name of the world be Changsun or Zhu?

At that time, I am afraid that the situation of the world will be determined by the eldest grandson family.

Therefore, even if they are relatives with Changsun Wuji, they have to be on guard. Changsun Wuji can be used, but not reused.

Before they knew it, the three of them had returned to the Leopard Room. Zhu Houzhao took out a booklet, wrote many names on it, crossed out some names, and handed the booklet to Zhu Qiyuan.

"Let's see if there is anything that needs to be added. If there is anything, add it yourself. Dad will clean it up for you at once."

Zhu Qiyuan took a look and immediately understood.

This is a death list, and those on it are all those that Zhu Houzhao believes can block Zhu Qiyuan's way and need to be cleaned up.

Old Zhu, Zhu Di, Changsun Wuji and others were all included, but they were crossed out again.

Old Zhu and Zhu Di temporarily escaped because of their understanding of current affairs. As for the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to keep this disaster, but because of Zhu Qiyuan's face, he decided to let him go first.

I have killed countless people in my life, and I have to leave. There is no need to let my son and myself add a little bit of estrangement.

"Father, is this really the case?"

Zhu Qiyuan swallowed hard.

If they were cleaned up according to this death list, most of the court hall would be empty.

"If not, how can your people get in position?"

Zhu Houzhao said coldly.

If the new emperor does not have a certain foundation, he will only be emptied by the officials and reduced to a puppet-like mascot.

And clearing out the ministers with ulterior motives, and then transferring the team he prepared for Zhu Qiyuan back to the court, can greatly avoid the situation where the new emperor ascends the throne and the ministers rely on the old to sell the old.

"I have my own opinion on this matter, and you don't have to worry about it."

Zhu Houzhao set the foundation with one word, looked at the son he had trained by himself, and said earnestly: "The civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are not fuel-efficient lamps. If you want to sit on the throne securely, you should learn to be ruthless."

"After you ascend the throne, you can promote Yang Tinghe as the chief minister of the cabinet. This old guy has been thinking about being the chief minister for many years. If you give him a hand, he will be a knife for you to control the government."

"After Yang Tinghe, Du Huaisheng, Zhang Juzheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others can be greatly promoted and reused to support your civil servant team."

"Especially Du Huaisheng, this kid has good abilities, but he's also an infatuated kind. I saved the life of his wife, Gongsun Jiuniang. As long as you make good use of him, he will be your best servant."

"As for the generals, the system of the four great generals remains unchanged. Hu Dakui is loyal to me, and you can rely on him as a confidant."

"Qi Jiguang is courageous and resourceful, and Yue Fei was cultivated by me, you can be trusted, and you can use it.

"As for Li Jing, this old boy knows how to protect himself. When you need him, he will be the most ferocious tiger. When he has made great achievements, he will be extremely low-key. When you use him, There is no need to hesitate too much."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Houzhao then instructed: "If one day the four great generals retire, Su Dingfang, Han Shizhong, Xue Rengui, and Kou Zhong will be the new four great generals."

"In addition, Yang Zhen, the grandson of Yang Wen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in Hongwu Prefecture, the Zhang family of the British Duke, and Zhang Ying, Mu Sheng, the most outstanding generation of the Duke of Qian's Mu family, can all be promoted and reused as appropriate."

Zhu Qiyuan nodded heavily: "My son understands."

"Do you know why I kept Tai Zu Ye and Yong Le Ye?"

Zhu Houzhao then asked, wanting to test Zhu Qiyuan's overall view.

This son has never disappointed him since he got married, but he still wants to see if Zhu Qiyuan has the courage to play around with the world.

He praised Zhu Kai for "Yingguo is like me", but in fact what he expects most is that Zhu Qiyuan can be more like him.

It is true that people like him are not popular, and there are countless people who hate him and hate him, but only a man with iron and blood like him can lead Daming to go further.

Zhu Qiyuan thought for a while, looked into the distance, and said firmly, "Father, you are worried."

Although the words are not exhaustive, the meaning that can be expressed is already very clear.

"As you can imagine, it was indeed because of Jianghu that I gave up the idea of ​​getting rid of Grandpa and the others."

Zhu Houzhao was rather helpless and said: "I don't know if I keep the great grandfather and the others, there will be trouble sooner or later. With their desire for power, it is impossible for them to die for us, but the potential threats in the world cannot be ignored."

"There are people in the world who are likely to prove the Dao, Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Boduan, Chen Tuan and other celestial geniuses are the most recommended."

"In my generation, the imperial court is so powerful that it can still suppress the Jianghu. Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang and others are also willing to obey the imperial court's orders."

"But if I'm gone, can Jianghu be willing to be suppressed by the court?"

"Human nature is the most capricious and the most unpredictable."

"If Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Boduan, and Chen Tuanru prove the Daluo, the structure of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes, and it is not impossible for the Jianghu sect to override the imperial court."

"Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang and others are broad-minded and have the courage to accept all rivers and lakes, but their disciples and grandchildren may not be. If there is a conflict between the imperial court and the Jianghu, you say, Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Chongyang and others will stand by the imperial court, or stand up for their disciples and grandchildren who have been in the Jianghu. ?”

There is no need to ask, of course it is to give a platform to his disciples and grandchildren.

People are divided into relatives and estrangements, even for a supreme master like Zhang Sanfeng, it is unavoidable to be vulgar.

Zhu Qiyuan has fully understood Zhu Houzhao's meaning. In order to check and balance the mighty Da Luo who may appear in the arena, Lao Zhu and Zhu Di are really indispensable.

The imperial family of the Ming Dynasty has the resources of Da Luo, namely Lao Zhu and Zhu Di. Zhu Qiyuan was baptized by the origin of the world that broke out when Da Ming was promoted to the Great Thousand World, and he also had the opportunity to become a Da Luo, but with two Da Luo thugs, he started to do things. Can be a lot easier.

"The rivers and lakes, the imperial court, and the road are different in the end. Over time, chaos will inevitably arise, and we have to guard against it."

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "Keep Taizu and Yongle, as long as they can be suppressed, they will be the best weapon to check and balance the world."

"The times have changed, and the strong are respected. If the strength of the Jianghu is higher than that of the imperial court, then it will become logical for the sect's power to overwhelm the imperial power."

"In order to prevent the imperial power from falling, only by mastering absolute power can we guarantee that the imperial power will never fall."

"In today's era, strength is the capital with the most right to speak."

Zhu Qiyuan nodded approvingly, if it wasn't for Zhu Houzhao's cultivation so high that everyone couldn't breathe, the sky would have turned upside down early in the morning.

Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and other former emperors of various dynasties, many martial arts sects in the Jianghu, all of them were ruthless characters, how could they be willing to be suppressed by the court all the time.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyuan had seen through his intentions, Zhu Houzhao was also comforted by Lao Huai, this son has passed the test!
Sitting on the highest throne, one needs to consider all aspects, not just one point. In terms of strategic vision, Zhu Qiyuan has already met Zhu Houzhao's requirements.

　Happy Labor Day!
