King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 103 Soul torture from Zhu Gaoxu (please vote for me!)
  There was silence in the main hall.

The two looked at each other and neither of them spoke.

After a long time of "hushing", Zhu Di came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Gaoxu with half-closed eyes, grinned with a rare smile on his face, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and said softly:
  "Not bad!"

"Second brother, although this plan is vicious, it can keep the Metropolitan Procuratorate clean."

In response to the admiration of the person in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have the slightest smile on his face. There was a trace of solemnity in his eyes, and he looked a little hesitant. He opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something.

But when he met Zhu Di's old face, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then lowered his head silently.

Zhu Di, who was in the midst of excitement, saw his appearance. The smile on his face instantly faded and he frowned. A trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He didn't understand what was going on with this guy.
  Why does it look like this?
  You know, in the past, if I had praised, appreciated, and affirmed like this, I would have laughed so hard.

Why is there a sad look on his face today? There is no hint of excitement or excitement at all. Instead, he still looks like he is hesitant to speak.

What's the fuss about?
  "You kid, what's going on?"

"You look like you are hesitating to speak, why are you so formal?"

"Tell me about it!"

Who doesn't know that this is the old man's fault?

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of surprise, and he looked at him slightly surprised.

Zhu Gaoxu: "."

To be able to make this unabashed bastard so serious, I'm afraid it shouldn't be a good thing, or it shouldn't be a good thing.

Just the two of them, father and son.

"I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Ok?"

How could he dare to be so indulgent? Didn't he get a beating just now when he told the truth?
  And what he wanted to say now was something involving the rebellion of their family.

"But I have to make it clear first. Can't you, old man, get angry?"

When he did these things before, when was it not when the boss or the third child was around that he dared to do this?
  What about now?

That's what I said.

"Otherwise, I won't even tell you if you kill me."

If anyone is not careful, Zhu Laosi will be furious.

He still knows very well what kind of virtue the second child has.

If he was impulsively chopped, wouldn't it be an unjust death?
  How could he not be more careful under such circumstances?

Even so, it also aroused his curiosity, and he nodded and said:

"With your bold and outspoken character, is there anything else you dare not say?"

There was no one to hold him or speak for him.

After a short silence, Zhu Gaoxu slowly raised his head, with a slightly solemn expression. He stared at the old man for a long time and said:
  "father"

Audacious and outspoken?
  Please also score points, okay?

After receiving the approval, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and thought for a long time, then cautiously said:

"It's a good plan."

“But in the end, it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.”

“The issue of official integrity depends more on the attitude of those in power towards them.”

"If dad is still so indulgent and tolerant towards civil servants, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"As time goes by, the wind of corruption will probably emerge again like bamboo shoots in the spring breeze."

"No matter how hard we try, no matter how many restrictions we impose, it will be of no use."

Say it.

Zhu Di's face darkened visibly, and his eyes were full of coldness. The temperature in the venue dropped several degrees, and the atmosphere became heavy again.

But this anger and resentment were not directed at Zhu Gaoxu, but at those officials in the court who did not know the heights of heaven and earth.

Just now I was only focused on excitement, affirmation, and appreciation.

Zhu Di really hasn't thought about this issue in detail.

It is undeniable that Zhu Gaoxu's concerns are completely reasonable.

Isn't the current situation in the court caused by his indulgence towards the civil servants?
  But he was also troubled by this problem.

At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness could not help but arise in my heart.     Who made him occupy the position improperly?

Who makes him need the words of civil servants to rectify his name?

In fact, from his true thoughts, he didn't want to do this.

The problem is that the position is not right in the first place, and if we continue to launch massacres against civil servants.

How will the world view him?
  Those civil servants and scholars were afraid that they would spread rumors and curse him behind his back as a coward and a tyrant.

I remember when he defeated Yingtian Mansion and pulled Emperor Jianwen from the throne.

How many verbal and written criticisms have you received from civil servants?
  How many civil servants who opposed him were killed for this?

At that time, his reputation was notorious.

Everyone was plotting against him, both openly and secretly.

The vulgar words made him feel so angry every time he thought about them that he wanted to kill someone.

To this end, he spent a long time and made great efforts.

He was promised a lot of benefits as a civil servant, and Zhou Xuan was among the prince Zhu Gaochi.

Only then did he suppress those vulgar words.

The turbulent court gradually stabilized.

How could he break the situation that he had finally stabilized with his own hands now?

It really made him hesitate.

They are worried about being too harsh on the civil service group and fear of backlash.

At that time, rumors will spread again, people in the court will be uneasy, and the national movement will be turbulent.

He had to treat these issues carefully.

Don't dare to make a decision easily.

no way.

If this matter really needs to be implemented, it will involve too many things, too many areas, and too many people.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Gaoxu could probably guess the worry in his heart and said in a deep voice:
  "Dad, I know you are worried that this move will cause instability in the DPRK and backlash from important officials in the DPRK."

"If we keep dragging it on and letting this cancer grow, it won't be as simple as scraping the bones to cure the poison."

"And today is different from the past. The remaining issues of Jianwen have been properly dealt with and settled."

"Jianwen also worshiped the Buddha sincerely before our eyes. He couldn't cause any big troubles. The internal worries and hidden dangers have been eliminated."

"Why should we worry?"

"Why worry?"

"Backlash, turmoil, we will kill until they are afraid, kill until they are afraid."

Having said this, he paused, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and asked:

"Dad, do you really care so much about the world's eyes, tongues, and comments behind your back?"

"Do you really think that our family's rebellion can be offset by the words of these two-faced civil servants so that the world will not criticize it?"

"Will the records in history books change?"

"is it possible?"

"Is it realistic?"

"Actually, everything is just self-deception and seeking the so-called inner comfort and peace of mind."

"Compared with historical records, would you rather see a prosperous Ming Dynasty with a prosperous country and a strong people, or a Ming Dynasty where filth and evil are hidden and the people are miserable?"

Zhu Di: "."

Bastard, is this a torture of his soul?
  After being silent for a while, Zhu Di came back to his senses, exhaled a long breath, his face was full of entanglement, thinking and weighing, he took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu with his eyes half closed, and waved his hand:

"Second brother, you go down first!"

"Let me think about this again."

　I am asking for monthly tickets. Since I wrote the book, the number of monthly tickets has never been "thousands". Taking advantage of the double monthly ticket period, readers, "Can you let me feel the feeling of a thousand monthly tickets?"
