Zhu Biao's sudden death had always been the greatest pain in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. To a certain extent, this pain even exceeded the death of Empress Ma.
This was because Empress Ma was a good sister that he had helped through thick and thin, but Zhu Biao was the future successor of the entire Darming Dynasty, and he represented the Zhu family for generations to come.
Now, these ministers were even bringing up their dead sons for their own benefits. This made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart instantly burn with anger.
Zhu Yunwen, who was beside him, heard that her masters were willing to bring up her deceased father in order to help her fight for the position of the imperial grandson. She was touched and grateful to these people.
Zhu Yunwen knew that these people would definitely anger her grandfather, but they still resolutely did it. These people were all loyal to Ming!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen secretly made up her mind. After she inherited the throne in the future, she must repay these masters. The eternal legend of the king and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world must appear in her hands again!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked coldly at these righteous civil officials and said coldly to them,"
"I've already said it. I don't want to listen to your nonsense!”
As soon as these words were said, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop by dozens of degrees. Some timid officials could not help but shiver.
When the civil officials of Zhu Yunwen's faction heard this, they couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, and their scalps exploded again.
That kind of gaze filled with killing intent only appeared on those who walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Now that it had appeared again, and this gaze was on him, how could he not feel afraid?
However, the current situation was already like an arrow on the bowstring. Even if he bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang now, with the current Emperor's personality, he would definitely not let them off.
There would definitely be people who would be sacrificed in this group, but he could not take a step back. If he took a step back, he would be doomed.
Not only could they not retreat, but they had to withstand this pressure and move forward. Only in this way could they take a step forward, or even many steps, for the sake of their own interests!
Just as the imperial court fell into a strange silence, an official from Zhu Yunwen's faction stood up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a righteous look,
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!”
These words attracted the attention of everyone in the court. Everyone turned their gazes to this person.
When Zhu Yunwen saw the expression of a loyal minister on this person's face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He knew that this person was ready to die. He thought that he was worthy of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. He actually dared to risk his life to see him. The other officials of Zhu Yunwen's faction couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow in their hearts.
After the official stood up, he took a deep breath and said in a clear voice,
"Your Majesty, I have to say something!”
"Your Majesty, please consider for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and not seek your own destruction!”
Hearing this, the entire court gasped. Hearing this, two thoughts appeared in everyone's mind.
The first thought was that this person was so daring to say that His Majesty did not make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.
The second thought was that this person was finished. Not only was he finished, but his entire family was also finished.
Zhu Yunwen, who was standing at the side, also did not expect this person to say such rebellious words. She was stunned.
However, the official who stepped forward continued,"
"The sage has a saying: a wise ruler does not hate to remonstrate with others, and a loyal minister does not avoid heavy punishment to remonstrate with others.”
"Even if Your Majesty kills me today, I will still say these words.”
"Your Majesty, in the history of the dynasties of the Central Plains, for thousands of years, only horses have been used to take over the world.”
"Why did all the founding emperors choose a benevolent ruler to take the throne after they conquered the country?”
"It's all because the world has been fighting hard for a long time. The people of the world are all looking forward to a stable life.”
"This is the time when we need a benevolent ruler. However, among the many princes of His Majesty, most of them are princes who have followed His Majesty to the south and the north. If we are talking about taking over the world immediately, they are naturally the most suitable candidates.”
"But now that the world has been settled and the people are at peace, although the princes of His Majesty are outstanding, they are not suitable candidates to inherit the throne.”
"His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, has received Confucian education since he was young and understands the sufferings of the people. He is the best candidate to inherit the throne in the future.”
"In addition, with the support of the civil and military officials, the Great Ming Dynasty will surely prosper and last for thousands of years!”
"Your Majesty, please plan for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world!”
"You must not make a vassal king the crown prince!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart turned even colder as he watched the civil official's righteous performance. The words that Zhu Gaoye had once said to him appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind again.
"These people know that they are useless in conquering the world. However, to govern the world, even the emperor cannot have three heads and six arms.”
"The emperor will definitely need their help to govern. This is their confidence. These people pretend to be sanctimonious and ask the emperor to appoint the person they want to take the throne in order to better control the government.
"When the emperor is old and the new emperor takes the throne, it will be the time for these people to start snatching benefits.”
"And the eldest grandson of the Emperor, Zhu Yunwen, who has been educated by Confucianism since he was young, is the most suitable candidate. After more than ten years of brainwashing, Zhu Yunwen has long become a puppet.”
"This is the result they want. On the surface, they seem to be loyal and patriotic, holding the banner of doing good for the people of the world, but in secret, they want to control the government.”
"The current Emperor has the temperament of cherishing the people of the world. Perhaps under the repeated propaganda of these people, he fell into a trap. At that time, Great Ming will really be finished.”
Zhu Gaoye's words were still ringing in his ears. The words of the official in front of him were not out of Zhu Gaoye's expectation.
This group of people actually used righteousness and the people of the world to kidnap him and the imperial power.
He was the founding emperor of Great Ming, and these people dared to try this. If they really succeeded, wouldn't the emperor of Great Ming be at their mercy in the future?
Other than being imprisoned in the Imperial Palace, what else could the later emperors do? Other than becoming their puppet, what else could he do?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed.
