Her words woke him up from his dream!
From a beggar, Zhu Yuanzhang finally sat on the throne step by step. His thoughts could not be said to be deep, and his methods could not be said to be ruthless.
In order to let his son Zhu Biao inherit the throne better, he made a move on his old brother who had fought with him. According to him, this was to clear the obstacles for Zhu Biao.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Those who could follow Zhu Yuanzhang all the way, whether they were civil officials or generals, which one of them was incompetent?
Facing these people, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had no problem. No one dared to act rashly in front of him.
However, could his son control the situation?
This was an unknown.
Perhaps he could control it, or perhaps he couldn't.
If he could control it, that would naturally be the best situation. However, if he could not control it, it would turn into a disaster.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the patience to verify it step by step.
In order to avoid any possible changes in the future, he chose the simplest and crudest method. Without hesitation, he raised his butcher knife and attacked his old brothers.
Now, Zhu Yunhao's question had stunned Zhu Yuanzhang, causing him to be shocked.
After ruling the world, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose the enfeoffment system after thinking about the problem of his son.
Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang know about the drawbacks of the enfeoffment system?
No, he was very clear in his heart.
The most important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang stubbornly chose the enfeoffment system was that he was confident enough.
Although he was born in a commoner's clothing, he was very proud and confident that he could solve the drawbacks of the enfeoffment system.
In addition, there were many benefits to the enfeoffment system, at least for the current Ming Dynasty.
First, most of the philosophers had followed Zhu Yuanzhang out and had nurtured some forces. If all of them were to stay in Yingtian Prefecture, they might be fine for a short period of time, but over time, it would definitely cause a disaster.
Second, although Zhu Yuanzhang had the last laugh, the False Yuan Dynasty was not destroyed. Although Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, and others were destroyed, they still had their remaining forces. Once something happened, these two forces were likely to be entangled together and send the Ming Dynasty into a situation of eternal damnation.
Third, although Zhu Yuanzhang had become the emperor, he still had the deep-rooted mindset of a small farmer. He did not trust anyone except his own people. Therefore, it was impossible for him to hand over the country he had fought so hard to to outsiders.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang still chose this system despite knowing the drawbacks of the enfeoffment system.
The emergence of the enfeoffment system gave the various vassal kings power, and they naturally became the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor guarded the gate of the country, and the king died for the country.
This sentence came true.
Normally, if the emperor was strong enough, these vassal kings would not be able to cause any trouble.
However, the situation was different now. Zhu Yuanzhang's Crown Prince, Zhu Biao, had passed away at a young age.
As a result, a problem appeared in front of him. Who should he choose as the new Crown Prince?
Would the new Crown Prince be able to convince everyone?
What if he couldn't convince the masses?
Zhu Yuanzhang had never thought about these things before because he believed in his sons and was confident that he could control them.
There was an old saying, out of sight, out of mind.
There was another way to understand this sentence, which was that Zhu Yuanzhang could not know every move of his sons in detail. After all, transportation was inconvenient in this era.
If this situation continued, what would happen if Zhu Yuanzhang's sons had disloyalty after he got rid of all the old brothers who were obstructing the succession of the throne? Who could stop them?
Zhu Yunhao did not expect that his unintentional words would cause a great uproar in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. He walked to Zhu Yuanzhang with the thorns and said with a smile,"Imperial Grandfather, look!"
His palm slowly moved down and slowly removed the thorns on the thorns.
"This…"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunhao with a dazed expression.
Zhu Yunhao waved his hand in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile,"Royal grandfather, do you know why I didn't let you remove those spikes? This was because his grandson had the ability to get rid of these spikes. The reason why he left them behind was to make the enemy afraid.”
After saying that, he waved the smooth bramble in front of Zhu Yunwen.
"Humph!"
Zhu Yunwen snorted and subconsciously leaned towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although the thorns were no longer sharp, it would still hurt if it hit a person.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yunhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhu Yunwen's appearance.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunhao and grinned."Pin 'er, I've really underestimated you. Since this is the case, I won't bother about the thorns on the thorns. However, you must be careful and not be careless. Otherwise, you might be stabbed by these thorns.”
"Royal grandfather's lesson is correct, this grandson will remember it.”
Zhu Yunhao nodded and said solemnly.
After all, he came from the later generations. Although he didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant at first, he slowly realized that the old man was comparing the world to the thorns.
"Alright, imperial grandpa is a little tired. Pin 'er, Wen' er, you can leave first.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.
Although Zhu Yunwen's performance disappointed him, Zhu Yunhao's performance gave him a great surprise.
Next, he needed to think about it carefully. Was the system of enfeoffment of vassal kings really going to continue?
He was confident that he could control the situation, but this was only him. What if his descendants could not control the situation in the future? At that time, it would definitely be a chaotic scene of brothers fighting each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang was scared. He didn't want to see such a scene.
