The reason why Zhu Zhe would be vigilant was not that Zhu Zhe himself had a guilty conscience.
He was caught red-handed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It was because Zhu Zhe knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character too well.
Whether it was as the son of Zhu Yuanzhang or as a transmigrator from the future.
Zhu Zhedu knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character very well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious by nature.
He always had a skeptical attitude towards everything.
This was also related to some of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal experiences.
Especially after he ascended the throne, many of the ministers had deceived Zhu Yuanzhang.
The most famous case was the Yang Xian case.
For the sake of his own future, he had almost fooled Zhu Yuanzhang.
After the matter was exposed, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally furious.
Yang Xian's fate was not any better.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more suspicious.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang's questions were directed at outsiders.
Especially those scholars who were full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
Zhu Yuanzhang hated it to the core.
That was why he would kill so easily.
To the Zhu family.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
In the entire history, there were not many emperors who could compare to Zhu Yuanzhang.
A father who could say that he would exchange a fief for his son.
How could she not love her son?
After figuring this out, Zhu Zhe's heart relaxed a lot.
Because no matter what, his father would not do anything to him.
After understanding this layer, Zhu Zhe's hanging heart relaxed.
Immediately, a new question appeared in Zhu Zhe's mind.
Why would his father ask him that?
This was completely illogical.
In terms of status, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's son.
However, he was not the only son of his father.
There were so many royal brothers who were ranked in front of him.
In terms of qualifications.
He randomly picked one out of these princes.
They were more qualified than him.
Even if they were to queue up, it would not be his turn.
This made Zhu Zhe feel very puzzled.
Could it be because of what he had just said?
That didn't make sense.
What he said just now was just a matter of fact.
Father said which brother was more suitable to be the emperor and wield the power of the empire.
Knowing the history, he would naturally choose the successful Zhu Di to inherit the empire.
Moreover, from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective.
She should not have listened to his words.
It wasn't that Zhu Zhe looked down on his Imperial Father.
On the contrary, Zhu Zhe was still extremely respectful towards this Imperial Father of his.
There had been so many emperors since ancient times, but none of them had a lower status than his father.
One had to know that to be able to go from a commoner, or even a commoner who could not even be considered a commoner.
In the end, he walked step by step to the position of emperor of a huge empire.
It wasn't something that could be done just by luck.
The hardships and dangers he had experienced in the process were thrilling.
At this time, it was just a topic of conversation.
However, at that time, he was definitely a deadly existence.
Therefore, Zhu Zhe would not look down on his father at all.
However, this was also the main point of the problem.
After all, his father was born from a humble background.
One's background determined the upper limit of one's knowledge.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's upper limit of cognition determined the upper limit of Ming Dynasty.
There were many things that Zhu Yuanzhang could not see through or understand.
This was the limitation of history.
In this era, traveling thousands of miles in a day only existed in myths.
However, in the later era, it was something that could be easily done.
The simplest example.
Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor born as a peasant.
After establishing the country.
He let the soldiers cultivate in their own garrison.
This was to solve the problem of military pay.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, these people were soldiers in war and farmers in leisure.
It would not waste a large amount of human resources, but it would also reduce the financial burden of the court.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had forgotten that once he picked up the hoe.
The bloodlust in these soldiers would slowly fade away.
It was still fine when he was around. With his powerful personal charm, he could still make these soldiers loyal to him.
However, after his death, coupled with the passage of time.
These soldiers would soon degenerate into farmers.
They could no longer pick up their weapons and go to the battlefield to fight.
These things were definitely not groundless rumors from Zhu Zhe.
It was something that had actually happened in history, only after a few generations of emperors.
The entire Ming Dynasty's armaments were abandoned.
This caused the generals to have no choice but to raise servants.
Or recruit new soldiers.
They abandoned the soldiers who had degenerated into farmers.
The burly man also had the same question.
Han Gaozu Liu Bang, although his background was slightly higher than Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, he was only a chief of Sishui.
There was also an upper limit to his cognition.
This was also the root cause of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
It was all Liu Bang's fault.
But the Great Tang was different from the Great Ming and Great Han.
Before the Li Clan of the Great Tang proclaimed itself emperor, it was also known as the Li Clan of Longxi.
The aristocratic families of the era could be said to have a rather noble background.
It could even be traced back to the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, it formed a powerful family during the Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties.
Hundreds of years of family history.
Naturally, he was much more brilliant than Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Thus, the upper limit of the Great Tang was much higher than that of the Great Han and Great Ming.
This was also why Li Shi Min was qualified to be the Heavenly Khan.
This was the fundamental reason why the Great Tang was qualified to establish a vast empire.
Vision determined everything.
But now was not the time for Zhu Zhe and his Imperial Father to discuss these things.
Because the problem in front of him was still waiting for Zhu Zhe to solve.
Although Zhu Zhe was very puzzled as to why his Imperial Father would ask him this.
However, Zhu Zhe was also very clear in his heart.
Now was not the time to expose his edge.
His elder brother had just passed away not long ago.
The Crown Prince had yet to confirm.
At this moment, if he were to display his sharpness.
It was very easy to be used by people with ulterior motives.
The horror of rumors.
Others might not know, but Zhu Zhe, who came from the later generations, was very clear about it.
Hence, he faced his father's inquiry.
Zhu Zhe hurriedly said,
"Imperial Father, how did this son inherit the throne of Great Ming?”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhe's words, he was slightly surprised.
This was the throne, and many people fought to the death for it.
Father and son turned against each other and brothers killed each other.
Wasn't it all for that chair?
Now, such a good opportunity had been presented to his son.
Why was Zhu Zhe unwilling to accept it?
He saw his father's surprised expression.
Zhu Zhe said,"
"Imperial Father, when it comes to governing the country, your son is not as good as fourth brother.”
"In terms of leading troops to war, your son is even more inferior.”
"Even if Imperial Father wanted to choose an heir, he definitely shouldn't have asked your son.”
"Instead, you should ask Fourth Brother."
"Fourth Brother is the best heir to our Big Ming.”
Zhu Zhe said sincerely.
The expression on his face did not seem to be fake.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had seen Zhu Zhe's methods in that timeline, was not deceived by Zhu Zhe in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew his son's methods.
He was not as harmless as he appeared to be.
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt helpless about this.
He couldn't blame Zhu Zhe for this.
This kid, who did he learn this from?
When did he become so slippery?
It seemed that he would not be able to probe anything today.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling helpless, he suddenly had an idea.
He thought of a good idea.
