Chapter 35: I was dead at that time, why do you still mention me?

Are you smiling a little too much?

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chu Ze's description of his "kind" smile, he almost couldn't breathe.

How long has it been since anyone dared to talk to me like this?

This bastard thing...

When Zhu Biao on the side heard the adjectives Chu Ze used on his father, he wiped his cold sweat without leaving a trace.

This guy is really good at what he does.

"You kid, hurry up and continue talking to us. You know how to talk nonsense. Didn't you say that we are at the top of your family tree? How can you talk to your ancestors like this?"

"Uh... Humans do want to be rebellious from time to time, right? It's okay for me to disobey my ancestors occasionally! Besides, how many generations have we been here, even if I admit it, you can't admit it..."

If Lao Zhu could really recognize these 18 relatives who couldn't even get together, then Chu Ze would be overjoyed.

After all, although Lao Zhu is extremely unkind to others, he is still very kind to his own family.

If he really recognized himself as a junior, then Chu Ze might not have to be so obsessed with death.

"Okay, okay, you'd better stop going against your ancestors. We didn't consider the consequences when we made the decision. Don't you know this yourself?"

"We are not gods, how can we imagine what will happen tens or hundreds of years in the future?"

"You'd better continue talking about Yun Wen."

Regarding the topic of whether he has foresight, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to mention it too much.

In other words, he is not very willing to face this matter.

After all, it seems that few of the things he did with good intentions were good...

"Okay, let's not mention this matter. But although I know you won't listen to advice, I still remind you that in the future, you should set less ancestral precepts... It would be better to give the people behind you more room to operate.

!”

"Let's continue talking about Emperor Jianwen... No, when it comes to Emperor Jianwen, I can't help but want to complain about you."

"What were you thinking when you established the vassal king? Why do you have to think about enfeoffing the kings?"

"The lessons from the Pre-Qin and Warring States periods are not enough? Or are you unaware of this?"

"Don't you think that if we are all members of your own family and they are separated, they will be able to live in peace in the future?"

"You are comfortable with the enfeoffment, but each vassal king is stationed in various places. What will happen after the new emperor comes to power?"

"What if the vassal king becomes big... Just like King Yan, he would have been able to fight, and he would be stationed in Peiping to resist the invasion from the north. He has soldiers, power, and land..."

"Wouldn't the emperor be afraid of him?"

"I said at the beginning that you didn't consider the consequences, and that's what happened."

"After Emperor Jianwen came to power, the first thing he did was to cut down the vassals... What you were thinking of was to entrust vassal kings and garrison the territory, but that's only if you can suppress all the vassal kings!"

"If the emperor is weak, then the vassal king will be strong. The weak will eat the strong. This is the law of survival. King Yan, don't you think so?"

"..."

When he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's enfeoffment of kings, Chu Ze couldn't help but click his tongue and shake his head.

Lao Zhu's life can be said to be vigorous, and the most legendary thing is that he was born from a grassroots, and he was worried all the way, and finally started from scratch, and established a huge foundation like the Ming Dynasty.

But starting from scratch is Lao Zhu’s glorious legend.

But it's also one of the things he's been criticized for.

After sitting on the throne, he still did not abandon his small peasant ideas, and suffered from a lack of education. In many cases, he did not have enough foresight and consideration.

Zhu Yuanzhang generally knew the disadvantages of enfeoffment, but Lao Zhu, who was born in a farm family, paid great attention to flesh and blood family ties.

So even though he knew that enfeoffment was wrong, he still insisted on having his own way.

The most likely root cause is the saying that the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

Facing Chu Ze's words, Zhu Yuanzhang just narrowed his eyes slightly and did not make too many remarks.

However, such a silent attitude already made Chu Ze shake his head.

Because it is mentioned in historical records that when Lao Zhu proposed enfeoffment, there was such a small person with a low status.

This person didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he actually dared to write to Zhu Yuanzhang, pointing out that "the enfeoffment is too extravagant": "I am afraid that in a few years, the tail will not be lost, but if you cut off the land and seize the power, you will definitely be jealous, or even fate."

If it arises from time to time, there is no limit to how to prevent it.”

This sentence, translated into vernacular, means: With such an arrangement now, disasters will inevitably occur in the future. From the Han Dynasty, all disasters were due to this feudal system, which eventually led to massacres of flesh and blood. The lesson is not far away.

In the eyes of future generations, these words are actually giving you advice in a pragmatic manner, and what they say is also true.

However, this man was almost shot dead on the spot because Lao Zhu used it as an excuse to sow discord between father and son.

So Chu Ze also knew that when he said this, Lao Zhu remained silent. This was because he, as a time traveler, could provide a lot of information for the time being, so he pretended not to hear him.

Otherwise, I would probably jump up and start cursing.

But when Chu Ze was about to continue talking, he felt a cool breeze blowing behind him.

He turned around and saw that Zhu Di, who was forced to stand aside and did not dare to take a breath, was staring at him with a face full of complaints.

Only then did Chu Ze remember that he seemed to have called his name again just now...

After smiling awkwardly at Zhu Di, Chu Ze turned his head again and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked like an old god.

"Your Majesty, I know what I just said. You probably think I'm farting now... But it doesn't matter, we can talk about the facts. Your enfeoffment... Hey, after listening to this, you probably won't

It’s like this now.”

"Let me tell you directly. You passed away and Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne. After he succeeded to the throne, I don't remember the specific details. But I remember one thing very clearly..."

"First of all, they adopt the strategy of making things easier first and then making things difficult... Speaking of this, I have to say that the big boys in your family are really good at playing... Weaken the weak ones first, and then they can scare the snakes and let them go.

Strong enough to have time to prepare, and then kill him..."

"Ahem...Chu Ze, if you say you want to cut off the vassal, you can cut off the vassal...Why are you mentioning me all of a sudden? Besides, you didn't say it, I was already dead by then...Why don't you still want to whip me?"

Corpse?"

Zhu Biao, who had been standing aside, thinking about listening more, learning more and thinking more, never expected that Chu Ze's thinking would be so out of the ordinary.

At first he was talking about cutting down the feudal vassal, but he suddenly turned around and gave himself a big mallet.
