"Since Your Majesty and the two majesties have asked, I will tell you the truth.”
"But after talking for so long, my mouth is a little dry. I wonder if there's tea here?”
Fang Yunfei said as he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang instantly exploded!
Why?
Do you want me, the emperor, to pour you tea?
"Fourth brother, is there tea here?"
Fortunately, Zhu Biao was very understanding. He helped Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Yunfei to resolve the awkwardness in time and transferred the conflict to Zhu Di.
When he heard his big brother ask him if there was tea in the Embroidered Uniform Guards hall, Zhu Di subconsciously wanted Mao Xiang to run errands for him.
However, just as he turned his head, he remembered that Mao Xiang had gone to send Li Ru off under his father's orders. In the entire Embroidered Uniform Guards hall, it seemed that he, the Prince, had the lowest status and was the most suitable to run errands!
Helpless, Zhu Di could only brace himself and brew a pot of tea, angrily placing it in front of Fang Yunfei.
After taking a sip of tea, Fang Yunfei became serious,
"After His Highness the King of Yan ascended the throne, the year was called 'Yongle!”
"During his reign, the King of Yan personally led the army to conquer the desert five times, defeating the remnants of the Northern Yuan army.”
"In the first year of Yongle, the King of Yan re-established the Hami Five Guards, allowing the Great Ming's influence to spread throughout the entire Western Regions.”
"In the fourth year of Yongle, the King of Yan sent a general to attack Annan and destroy the country. In the Ming Dynasty, Annam was changed to the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, with jurisdiction over fifteen prefectures, forty-one prefectures and two hundred and thirteen counties.”
"In the ninth year of Yongle, the King of Yan established the Nuergan Division in the northeast and set up a guard station. The army went out in all directions, and the three Jurchen tribes all surrendered.”
"In the 14th year of Yongle, the imperial court sent an army to suppress the rebellion in the southwest and set up the Chief Secretary of Guizhou.”
"In the last years of Yongle, the Great Ming tried to win over ü-Tsang. The imperial court conferred the titles of five Shakyamuni, so that they could restrain each other and not rebel.”
"At this point, the territory of Great Ming has reached its peak in the hands of His Highness the King of Yan!”
Zhu Di's contribution was indispensable for the Ming Dynasty to have a future territory.
As a Huaxia person of the later generations, Fang Yunfei felt honored to talk about this.
After listening to Zhu Di's military achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao found it unbelievable.
She knew that Ling could fight, but was he that good?
Not to mention the generals under him, he actually personally led the army to Northern Yuan five times?
And they even won!
Not to mention the other vassal kings, even Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the founding dukes of the six states, could not compare to this battle record!
"What else did I do after I became the emperor? If it was just martial arts, what about civil governance?”
After knowing that he was so awesome, Zhu Di also became arrogant. Since he asked him what other achievements he had in front of his father and brother, he did not expect him to be so arrogant.
"Prince Yan, your achievements in civil administration are also quite outstanding.”
Fang Yunfei recalled for a moment and said,"When you were in power, you paid little attention to taxes and paid attention to the people's livelihood. Not only did they organize the government to dredge the canal, but they also carried out immigration throughout the country so that the cultivators had their own fields and the residents had their own houses.”
" In terms of law, you will be prudent in your use of punishment. You will reapply the death penalty five times and establish it as a legal system in the form of an 'order' and implement it well.”
"In terms of culture, you organized scholars to compile the Yongle Grand Ceremony. The book has a total of 22,937 volumes and more than 370 million words. Just the table of contents alone had sixteen volumes. It was the largest and most complete encyclopedia in ancient China!”
"However, the most praiseworthy thing about you is your foresight. You sent Zheng He to the west seven times, the furthest being East Africa and the Red Sea, conquering countless small countries along the way. It made Great Ming the only dynasty in China's history to have an overseas territory.”
"The Great Ming Empire that you control has a vast territory, a stable economy, and all the foreigners submit to you.”
"History says-"
"Yongle Shengshi!"
Yong!
Happy!
Sheng!
World!
Zhu Di's body trembled when he heard these words.
It must be known that the dynasties of China divided the period of governance into peaceful times and prosperous times.
A dynasty's national strength was in a rising stage, which was called governing the world.
For example, the governance of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the governance of Emperor Kai, the governance of Zhenguan and the governance of Hongwu.
However, only when a dynasty's national strength was at the peak could it be called a golden age!
There were four major golden ages that were officially recognized in the future.
Before Yongle, there were only the two prosperous eras of Zhao Xuan and Kaiyuan.
Zhu Di felt like he was dreaming when he thought about how he had single-handedly created Yongle Prosperity and directly became one of the top wise emperors in China.
Even the grievance of making tea for Fang Yun Fei had vanished into thin air!
If he had known that he was so awesome, he would have put in two more handfuls of tea leaves when he made Mr. Fang tea!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were completely stunned.
He had thought that his fourth brother was good at fighting, but his civil governance was very ordinary.
It was estimated that Da Ming would become militaristic in his hands, and the people would not be able to survive.
It was similar to the Western Han Dynasty ruled by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
He didn't expect his fourth brother to be so proficient in civil and martial arts, economy and culture, law and official administration.
Da Ming also reached its peak under his governance!
It could be said that other than the scandal of the Battle of Jingnan, there were almost no shortcomings.
He was the model of a wise monarch.
Was this still the noisy Fourth Brother that he knew, the one who only knew how to play with guns and sticks, and the one who would punch at him whenever he disagreed?
"In that case, this king is doing a good job as an emperor?”
Zhu Di looked at Fang Yunfei with a smug expression and directly ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di who were sitting beside him.
It was obvious that he had gone overboard!
"That's right. There are indeed many people who worship you in the future. After all, in the entire Great Ming Dynasty, only you and His Majesty can be called the "Great Emperor".”
Fang Yunfei nodded in agreement.
Throughout the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Yongle Zhu Di could be respected as the "Great Emperor" by later generations.
This also showed that in the hearts of future generations, these two's contributions to Great Ming were not far apart.
"This king is so powerful? You can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with Imperial Father?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di was even more shocked.
Ever since he was young, the person he admired the most was Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who conquered the world with his bare hands. The happiest thing was to be praised by his father.
He did not expect that in the eyes of future generations, he could actually be compared to his father.
This was simply unbelievable!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also in disbelief.
If the person who had done this was the Crown Prince, he would not be surprised.
After all, the Crown Prince was the successor of Great Ming that he had carefully nurtured.
However, Zhu Di was really too surprising.
Wasn't he only good at cutting people with knives?
When did he become an all-rounder?
Or…
Did our Old Zhu do too little work, giving this kid an opportunity to take advantage of?
