Zhu Chen had once again exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
It was really unbelievable.
He ruled the world with the common people, not with the scholar-bureaucrats!
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's philosophy, but he didn't tell anyone.
The timing was not right yet.
Now, Ming still had external worries and internal troubles, and the foundation of the country had just been set.
Zhu Chen was right. Zhu Yuanzhang was an ambitious emperor.
Creating eternal peace and prosperity was his lifelong goal.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any of this…
But now, Zhu Chen had combined his series of policy changes and made a guess that was almost sixty percent correct. He had shaken everything off!
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be shocked?
Empress Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang clenching his fists and sighed," Prince Chen was a monster!
Wang Huamin was already playing dead. This was not something he could listen to.
He was afraid of death!
"Hu ~!" Zhu Yuanzhang let out another breath and looked at Zhu Chen,"
"What does Prince Chen think we should do?”
"Salad!"
Zhu Chen continued to eat. I'm just asking you questions, and you still want to ask for answers?
Are you polite? Just because you have a big face?
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Empress Ma scooped a bowl of soup for Zhu Chen and said with a light smile,"
"Prince Chen, if you have any requests, feel free to ask…My husband has been ordered to inspect the world, so he naturally hopes to find out what is missing.
Finding out the problem with the policy reform and returning to the capital to report it to His Majesty would also be a great merit!”
"Alright, alright!" Zhu Chen raised his eyebrows at Old Zhu.
It was as if he was saying,"Your wife is better at things than you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to vomit blood and almost revealed his identity. F * ck! Unfilial son, I am your father!
If it was true, Zhu Chen might have cursed, Get lost! I'm still your grandfather!
Zhu Chen ate quickly and carefully. As he ate, he said,
"This Prince will keep this condition for now. When I need it, I will look for Lord Huang.”
"Yes…yes!" Empress Ma agreed on behalf of Old Zhu.
Zhu Chen squinted at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded stiffly.
Only then did Zhu Chen relax.
One look and one could tell that Old Yellow was not an ordinary person. He had the aura of a superior.
Zhu Chen was happy to befriend him since his status was probably not low.
Of course, it was just an exchange of benefits.
Zhu Chen pointed at the horses passing by on the road outside.
"If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it!”
"Officials are horses. It is a big project for the emperor to realize his grand ambitions.
The emperor couldn't do everything big or small, so there were hundreds of officials to assist the emperor in governing the world.”
"You want to use horses to pull a carriage, but you don't want to feed the horses with grass. You even want to kill the horses and eat them all day long.
Just as the coachman said, he relied on the goods in the carriage to make a living, and it had nothing to do with the horses…"
"This is like His Majesty wanting to use all officials to govern the world and achieve eternal hegemony.
He didn't give the officials enough benefits, and he even talked about not ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats…"
"Isn't this hurting the horse's hooves and chilling the heart?”
Zhu Chen shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned." Shouldn't an official take the world as his duty and devote himself to it?
Is it wrong to govern the world with the people of the world?”
"That's right!" Zhu Chen answered very straightforwardly, but his tone changed.
"But arrogance can't be ignored.”
"Take it slow. We can't destroy their dreams of being an official and becoming rich and powerful, and we can't cut off their future path of leaving their names in history!”
" Officials are also humans, not saints…They have emotions and desires…"
As he spoke, Zhu Chen raised his finger.
"The most important thing to be an official is not to sacrifice yourself for others.
Instead, the most important thing is to obtain a rich livelihood, return to your hometown with honor, and satisfy your inner vanity…"
"Self-sacrifice for others, selfless dedication…This is something that saints do, what does it have to do with being an official?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was getting more and more irritated." Aren't they reading the books of sages? Why couldn't he sacrifice himself for others and be selfless?”
"Hehe, Old Huang, go donate all your assets and voluntarily resign from this king's emperor father.
Would you be willing to give up your position to someone else and go back home to farm?”
Zhu Chen sneered.
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone froze.
Damn it! He felt that this kid was very arrogant…but it made so much sense!
"So?"
"Old Huang, why are you so stupid…Is your family background very strong? Otherwise, how could you sit in such a high position with your brain!”
Zhu Chen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with disdain.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Chen.
He kept looking…Of course, his background was strong, because he was the emperor.
You unfilial son, if you say that your father's brain is not working well again?
Empress Ma covered her mouth and giggled.
Wang Huamin was embarrassed.
Prince Chen was probably the first person to say that the Emperor's brain was not working well.
"I already said that if you want the horse to run, you need to feed the horse grass…grass!”
"The first priority of being an official is to live a rich life, return to your hometown with honor, and bring honor to your ancestors…"
Zhu Chen explained in disdain,"The officials of the Ming Dynasty today have fame, but they have no benefits."”
"This doesn't conform to the first principle of being an official. It lacks sufficient material security!”
"It's fine if it's short…because this king's old father is the founding emperor. His methods are tough and can be suppressed.
But what about after he died…it would be chaotic sooner or later!”
" You…" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
However, when he heard the last sentence, he almost rushed to the kitchen to pick up the kitchen knife and kill Zhu Chen.
"Old Yellow, your mental fortitude is really bad!" Zhu Chen pouted.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
