Zhu Yunwen was so shocked that she was almost dumbfounded. This was her granduncle, and he actually didn't speak up for her!
It was fine if they didn't speak up for him, but he actually wanted his Imperial Grandfather to kill these officials who helped him fight for the position of Imperial Grandson.
These officials were all people who were loyal to Great Ming. How could Lan Yu bear to do this!
Zhu Yunwen watched the situation turn for the worse and knew that if she didn't stand up now, everything would be over.
So Zhu Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward to speak up for these civil officials.
"Imperial Grandfather, your grandson has something to say.”
Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his gaze from Lan Yu and turned to look at his grandson, wanting to see what Zhu Yunwen had to say.
Zhu Yunwen said,
"Imperial Grandfather, there's nothing bad about the Sage Son of Heaven's rule. Since ancient times, haven't all wise rulers advocated inaction?”
"Those ancient wise rulers and the monarchs of the Spring and Autumn Period mostly ruled by doing nothing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.”
"On the contrary, a country like the Qin country has been fighting for years. Although it seems to be expanding its territory, it has been engaging in militarism for years. In the end, it ended up dying in its second life.”
Zhu Yunwen stood there and spoke frankly, completely unaware that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was getting uglier and uglier.
"During the Song Dynasty, those emperors also didn't manage the government. However, with the help of the civil officials, they weren't at a disadvantage against the Jin and Mongols.”
"If it weren't for the fact that those generals were too domineering and didn't listen to the Imperial Court's arrangements, they wouldn't have ended up like this.”
"Before he died, it was those loyal civil officials who accompanied the little emperor and jumped into the sea to die for the country.”
"There's no need to talk about Qianyuan. If it wasn't for the fact that he had been engaging in militarism and expanding wildly, he wouldn't have been chased back to Mobei by Imperial Grandfather.”
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen.
Those officials who had originally relied on Zhu Yunwen were even more regretful. They all cursed Zhu Yunwen in their hearts and began to regret that the ideas they had instilled in Zhu Yunwen were too firm.
At that time, he only thought that the future successor of the empire would be easy to control, but he did not expect Zhu Yunwen to be so stupid.
Wasn't what he said now adding fuel to the fire to make His Majesty attack them?
Even if you don't do anything and just stand there, it's much better than you standing out and saying these words. It's fine if you don't say so.
Lan Yu and the ministers in the court sneered in their hearts, thinking how could Zhu Yunwen be so stupid? He did not have the demeanor of a father at all.
How could a wise and mighty person like Zhu Biao give birth to such a thing? Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen wasn't appointed as the Great Sun, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty that His Majesty had worked so hard to build would be in danger.
Zhu Yunwen was still preparing to continue persuading Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer listen.
This Zhu Yunwen was not only extremely stupid, but he was also throwing his own face, throwing the face of the entire Old Zhu Family, and even throwing the face of the entire Darming Dynasty.
When such a person became the emperor, he would be controlled by the civil officials. Even the envoys of small countries would look down on Ming because of Zhu Yunwen!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted and interrupted Zhu Yunwen,
"Enough! Let me ask you, do you still want to cut off your vassal title after you ascend the throne in the future?”
"Imprison all your imperial uncles?”
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question was that he suddenly thought of Zhu Gaoye's evaluation of Zhu Yunwen. He wanted to give this grandson one last chance to see what kind of person Zhu Yunwen was.
Zhu Yuanzhang valued kinship the most. When he first heard from Zhu Gaoye that the first thing Zhu Yunwen would do when he ascended the throne was to cut off his vassal state, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't quite believe it. This was his grandson, and his character should be of the same origin as his. How could he do such a thing that hurt his relatives and made his enemies happy?
However, after seeing Zhu Yunwen's performance today, Zhu Yuanzhang began to doubt this matter, so he directly said what he was thinking.
After Zhu Yunwen heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. His thoughts had already been guessed by his grandfather? Since that was the case, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
So Zhu Yunwen said,
"That's right, Imperial Grandfather, this grandson thinks so. When I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely cut off the vassals. Imperial Grandfather, the dangers of enfeoffing a vassal king are too great.”
"Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, enfeoffed the world and finally led to the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. It almost caused the Great Han Dynasty, which was recuperating, to fall apart.”
"And the Xiongnu also took the opportunity to make a move, wanting to invade the Central Plains.”
"Later on, during the Jin Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Eight Princes broke out, causing the tragic situation of the five barbarians to repeat itself.”
The more Zhu Yunwen spoke, the more excited she became. There was a look of regret, regret, and sadness on her face, as if she had experienced those things herself.
Then, Zhu Yunwen continued,
"Imperial Grandfather, with a sharp weapon, the killing intent will naturally arise. You should understand this. Grandson is not saying that the Imperial Uncles will definitely rebel, but with these military powers in their hands, even if the Imperial Uncles do not have these thoughts, it is difficult to guarantee that the people under them do not have these thoughts.”
"When the time comes, I'll learn from Song Taizu and wear a yellow robe. Royal grandfather doesn't want to see such an outcome!”
"Therefore, the act of cutting off the vassals is imperative. Only by firmly grasping all the land in the hands of the Imperial Court will the Imperial Court not fall into chaos and the Great Ming not perish.”
Zhu Yunwen said with a righteous look. These words were taught by his masters, and he just said it according to the script.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Yunwen's words, his face was so gloomy that it could drip water. The reason why he let his sons rule the various places and hold military power was to protect the capital of Ming Dynasty. He did not expect that Zhu Yunwen would turn it into a way to bring disaster.
Did Zhu Yunwen not know that he only gave his sons a place to rule, but did not give them the right to rule?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression. How could such a person fight against these civil officials in the future? He was still being eaten by them!
