Zhu Zhe sorted out his words and said,
"Imperial Father, the reason why your son said this is not because your son has any selfish motives.”
"Your son saying this is entirely for the sake of our Great Ming's future.”
Hearing Zhu Zhe's words, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but be stunned again.
Zhu Zhe was two years younger than Zhu Yunwen.
But he already knew to consider Da Ming's future.
He was not like Zhu Yunwen, who started thinking about how to destroy the fence.
But Zhu Zhe did not know that when his Imperial Father heard his words, his mind would actually think of these.
Instead, he continued to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Firstly, among all of your son's brothers, fourth brother is the one who is good at fighting.”
"If the country is handed over to fourth brother.”
"Fourth Brother will definitely not be satisfied with the current territory of Great Ming.”
"Let's not talk about anything else.”
"To guard the fence for Great Ming, after Fourth Brother takes the throne, he will definitely continue to follow Imperial Grandfather's ideas and strengthen the frontier fortress defense.”
"Not only will it strengthen the defense of the frontier fortress, but it will also take the initiative to go to the frontier fortress.”
"Let those grassland people never dare to covet the Great Ming Empire again.”
"But then again,"
"The Great Tang of yesteryear was more than ten thousand li in size.”
"Everyone praises Tang Taizong's martial arts and culture.”
"Little did they know that the territory of the Great Tang reached its peak in the hands of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.”
Although the current Great Ming had been established for a long time, in terms of territory.
It was simply incomparable to the Great Tang of the past.
However, Zhu Zhe did not look down on Da Ming at all.
This was because the situation of Great Ming and Great Tang was completely different.
In the past, the Great Tang had had the support of many great clans.
For example, the Longxi nobles from Li Shimin's hometown.
Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl.
He had relied entirely on his own ability to get to where he was today.
It was even a very difficult war from the south to the north.
This move was not unprecedented, but it was definitely unprecedented.
Because in the thousands of years of history of this land.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang was able to fight from the south to the north, win, and stabilize the country.
Just this point alone was enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to shine in history.
Not to mention his contribution to saving the people from the alien races.
"Although we can conquer the world immediately, we can't rule the world immediately.”
"Otherwise, it would be like the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms."
"It's fun to fight a war on your own, but you don't care about the lives of the people.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhe's words, he could not help but nod repeatedly.
Besides his eldest son, Zhu Biao, it was his first time hearing other sons say such words.
He said it in his heart at once.
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, nor did he want to expand Great Ming's territory.
Reality didn't allow it.
The Yuan Dynasty has been a scourge of the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years.
It could be said that they had squeezed out all the manpower of the Central Plains people.
It was already a great effort for him to drive the Yuan people out of the Central Plains.
The current commoners did not need the Ming Dynasty to expand their territory, nor did they have the ability to support their own expansion.
What the commoners needed the most now was to recuperate and build up strength.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew this very well.
That was why he had set up a guard station and let the soldiers serve as soldiers in wartime and farmers in their spare time.
It was to reduce the financial burden of the imperial court.
Relieving the financial burden of the imperial court was also relieving the financial burden of the common people.
Only then could the common people recuperate better.
Zhu Yuanzhang had also made preparations for the upcoming war.
The nine frontier fortress kings, apart from defending the border against the invasion of the Prairies people, were also very powerful.
They could also send troops to the border at any time when there was sufficient food and grass.
Conquering the grasslands.
"So now, if we are in a hurry to hand over the country to a ruler who will keep it in place.”
"It is very unfavorable to Da Ming's future.”
Zhu Zhe did not pay attention to the change in his Imperial Father's heart.
Instead, he said to himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just reacted to Zhu Zhe's words.
Hearing Zhu Zhe's words again, he could not help nodding once more.
Zhu Yuanzhang approved of Zhu Zhe's words from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, if Ming directly changed from forging ahead to defending the country.
It was like suddenly stopping a carriage that was running at high speed.
There would only be one result, and that would be a car crash.
The simplest example was the generals of the Great Ming Dynasty.
The country had just been established, but the ambition of these people still existed.
He still wanted to make contributions to the country and seek fame for himself.
If he were to change from aggressive to defensive, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among these people.
At that time, it would be hard to say what Big Ming would be like.
However, since his son had said one, there must be another.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently,
"Then what other opinions does my son have? We all want to hear it.”
Zhu Zhe was not surprised to hear Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
Not to mention himself, even those ministers.
As long as it was beneficial to Da Ming, his Imperial Father would listen carefully.
It was said that Zhu Yuanzhang in history was cruel and bloodthirsty, but he did not look at the people he killed.
Zhu Zhe continued,
"Second, the other thing that makes Fourth Imperial Brother stronger than Zhu Yunwen is that Fourth Imperial Brother won't attack his own family.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard Zhu Zhe's words.
Zhu Zhe obviously did not feel Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions. Instead, he continued,
"This son is observing the civil officials around Yun Wen.”
"All of them are teaching the so-called Saint Son of Heaven to rule.”
"After so many years, Yun Wen has been taught to be a block of wood.”
"If Yunwen succeeds the throne."
"I'm afraid the first thing Yun Wen will do is to cut off the vassals.”
"Or rather, the first thing these civil officials want to do is to cut off their vassals.”
"In your son's eyes, this kind of cutting of vassals isn't in the ordinary sense.”
"It will definitely cause bloodshed among the royal family.”
"Because your son's royal brothers are not some good-for-nothing.”
"All of them are descendants of the royal family, the bloodline of my father.”
"How could he endure such humiliation?"
"In this way, these civil officials will have all the power in their hands.”
"At that time, will Imperial Father's Big Ming still be Big Ming?”
"On the bright side, all the fences built by Great Ming will be destroyed in a single day.”
"If there are no foreign invasions, we can still survive.”
"But that's impossible."
"Those Mongolians on the grasslands are eyeing our Da Ming like tigers eyeing their prey every day.”
"Once they discover this situation, they will definitely be like wolves that smell blood.”
"Bite me crazily."
"At that time, Great Ming will probably be reduced to another Great Song.”
"In a bad way."
"At that time, if your son's imperial brothers raise an army and start a rebellion.”
"Da Ming, who had just stabilized, once again fell into the flames of war.”
"It will definitely aggravate the internal friction of Great Ming."
"When the time comes, the ones laughing will still be those outsiders.”
"The Central Plains, without its defenses, is a very dangerous place for these foreign tribes.”
"It's like a piece of fat meat in your mouth.”
"There's no reason not to eat it."
"So, no matter how you look at it, it's not a big deal.”
"It's not worth it."
"This is why your son supports Imperial Father in choosing Fourth Imperial Brother as the heir.”
"Not because of Yun Wen."
"It's not that your son has any opinion of Yun Wen.”
"Your son is also thinking about Great Ming's future.”
"I hope Imperial Father will understand."
After saying all this, Zhu Zhe bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhe's words.
His eyes stared fixedly at Zhu Zhe.
His face was filled with shock.
