Looking at the stunned trio, Chu Nan thought to himself,"It turns out that you can control people's emotions. It's actually so satisfying.”
He looked around and was very satisfied with the three's performance.
"Ahem." Chu Nan coughed lightly and cleared his throat before continuing,"Emperor Yong Le's achievements are far from this.”
"What I said just now was only military.”
"But those who only know how to fight are not emperors. They are at most generals.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded deeply.
He was born a peasant and could not read much.
Originally, he had not thought too much about becoming an emperor.
He once thought that as long as he had a strong army, he could govern a country well.
But slowly, Old Zhu understood how difficult it was to be an emperor, especially a good emperor.
It wasn't just a matter of war.
"Chu Nan, are you saying that Fourth Brother is also very powerful in other aspects?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly. Perhaps because of his excitement, his face was a little flushed.
Zhu Biao could not help but urge,"Chu Nan, continue.”
Although Zhu Biao had some grudges about the Battle of Jingnan, he was still a little worried.
But after all, that had not happened yet.
Besides, it wasn't Zhu Di's fault.
Although he was angry, Zhu Biao was still quite reasonable.
He was also eager to know his fourth brother's level.
"Now that we're done talking about martial arts, let's talk about literature!" Chu Nan nodded.”
"Good! Tell me!" Old Zhu couldn't wait.
He was not cultured to begin with, so he desperately hoped that his descendants would be able to do something in the field of literature.
Chu Nan smiled and thought for a moment before saying,"In terms of diplomacy, Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He to the West seven times.”
"Going to the West?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank slightly, and his smile froze on his face.
From the fourth year of Hongwu, he had already started to ban the sea.
The reason for this was very complicated and could not be explained in a few sentences.
However, Zhu Di actually ignored the group's training?
" Your Majesty," Chu Nan explained after seeing through Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts."Don't be angry."
"I won't comment on whether you are right or wrong in banning the sea. There will be a lot of controversy 700 years later.”
"However, Zheng He's voyage to the West is definitely a good thing.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly. He looked deeply at Zhu Di and said to Chu Nan,"Continue."
"Yes." "According to the evaluation of the later generations, this is the largest scale sea voyage in ancient times, with the largest number of ships and sailors, and the longest voyage."
"Spread the might of the Great Ming Empire overseas, and all countries will come to court to strengthen the commercial exchanges between China and foreign countries.”
"By the last time we went to the West, the number of people had reached 27,000.”
"Whether it's pirates or warlords at sea, they're all terrified.”
"All the countries are welcoming the Great Ming fleet.”
"It was also because of Zheng He's voyage to the West that the trade between China and the foreign countries was strengthened, allowing the Ming Dynasty to become more prosperous during this period of time.”
"Do you think this is a good thing?”
" Cough cough..." Zhu Yuanzhang coughed a few times in embarrassment.
In fact, how could Old Zhu not know about the disadvantages of the forbidden sea?
However, Old Zhu had his concerns.
On one hand, the pirates were rampant on the sea. On the other hand, there were too many things that needed money in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Old Zhu never expected that during Zhu Di's time, not only did he lift the ban on the sea, but he also promoted the development of the Ming Dynasty because he went out to sea.
"Could it be…I was really wrong?" Old Zhu could not help but think to himself.
Chu Nan looked at Old Zhu's awkward expression and could not help but laugh.
Old Zhu immediately glared, looking a little embarrassed.
"Chu Nan, don't look at me. There's nothing on my face.”
Chu Nan suppressed his laughter.
It turned out that Old Zhu had such a cute side to him.
He picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself. The sound of running water was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Chu Nan drank a mouthful of water and continued." Let's continue with the topic of culture. In terms of culture, your fourth brother is the one who organized the compilation of the 'Yongle Grand Ceremony.'”
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di listened quietly.
Chu Nan smacked his lips and continued,"The Yongle Grand Ceremony was named the greatest encyclopedia in the history of the world by scholars seven hundred years later.”
"It can be said that in the eyes of scholars seven hundred years later, the Yongle Grand Ceremony is one of the symbols of Chinese culture.”
"Apart from that, the emperor also dredged the Grand Canal to strengthen traffic.”
"Moving the capital to Yanjing and building the Forbidden City, some people even called it the Son of Heaven guarding the country gate.”
"All in all, during the reign, the economy was prosperous and the country was strong.”
"Your Majesty, now you know how powerful your fourth brother is.”
"Moreover, it's not just him. His son and grandson are equally powerful.”
"Especially his grandson. In the words of the later generations, he is an all-rounder and a hexagonal warrior.”
"And his great-grandson…hmm…this…this…let's talk about it another day.”
"In the end, the first few generations of Emperor Yong Le's line, other than having a short life, none of them were bad.”
Other than a short life…
Zhu Di's expression froze.
Originally, he had always thought that Chu Nan was a jinx with a jinx.
However, after hearing Chu Nan's evaluation of his actions after becoming the emperor, he had a rare favorable impression of Chu Nan.
In the end…
Well, this trace of good impression came quickly and disappeared even faster!
"As expected, don't expect this guy to say anything nice!”Zhu Di thought to himself.
